Mr, Murray Dunlop, M,P„ on Garibaldi' s

Departure,

In answer to a communication sent to Mr. Dun-
lop, M.P. for Greenock, by Mr. .Tames Beith, one
of the Garibaldi Reception Committee there, Mr.
Dunlop, in a letter dated "London, April 30, 1864,"
says:—" Strongly participating in the keen disap-
pointment universally felt at the sudden and un-
expected announcement of Garibaldi's intended
ture, I also shared the suspicion generally roused
that Cileans had been resorted to with a view of in-
ducing biln to leave Britain. lam now, however,
thoroughly satisfied that nosuch view was entertained
by the parties made the communication which
led to this unhappy result, and that no such object
was either wished or contemplated. The proposal
made to him was simply that he should-restrict his
visits to a more moderate number than that intended,
and it was made with the sincere and sole view of
saving him from the injurious consequences of his
fulfilling the mass of engagements in which the
kindness of his disposition and anxiety to gratify the
wishes of the people of the country had involved him.
No one was prepared for the resolution which he'
adopted of abandoning all the visits, and at once
leaving the country ; and those who suggested the
restriction remonstrated as earnestly against that re-
solution as those did who viewed it as the successful
result of a conspiracy set in motion by foreign influ-
ence. It was very unfortunate that Garibaldi did not
see his way to any middle course ; for I believe that
the inhabitants of the towns that would have been
disappointed have as much of his own noble spirit
of self-abnegation as to have led them to have
sacrificed their expected gratification of welcoming
him among them—intense though that would have
been—rather than either expose his health to in-
jury or compel him to leave the country without
completing his intended visit through it. He felt,
however, the greatest repugnance to drawing a
line between one set of towns and another, and he
was, I doubt not, also moved by the idea that his
presence was considered inconvenient under exist-
ing circumstances. That he should have entertained
such an idea was not unnatural, and it was probably
encouraged by the circumstance that Mr. Gladstone
was rather thoughtlessly drawn into the proceed-
ings by those friends who wished the General to
contract his labours; being yielded to by Mr. Glad-
stone, I am confident, in his ardent earnestness for
the General's health, from the absolute unconscious-
ness of any purpose that could possibly warrant
the suspicion of any similar object. Still the idea
being once admitted into Garibaldi's mind, it
became, from his great sensitiveness and generous
spirit of self-denial, almost a necessity
of his nattily
that he should shrink from the possibility of his
being a burden to those who had lovingly
wel-
corned him. It is to be regretted that some should
h
Bought
seek to turu his going—as they wouldhave
to turn his staying—to same
political result,ult, and BO
desecrate one of the grandest sights t
vilnessed in
the tribute of his affec-
tion
our day, of a truly great man coming, in simpli-
city and sincerity, to pay
a great and free nation, and
and sympathy to
receiving in return the hearty welcome of their un-
alloyed and unbounded admiration and love."

DANISH CRUISERS.—LUBECK, April 30.—The
Danish cruisers, acting upon the circular of the
Director •General of the Custom-house of tho 13th of April,
consider all German ports as hostile, and have refused a
great many Schleswig-Holstein vessels coming from Great
Britain entrance into this port, Wismar, and other non-
blockaded German ports daring the last few days. Schles-
wig•Holstein vessels would therefore do well to avoid Ger-
man ports in the Baltic for the future.

The Advertising Tipsters on the Chester Cup

_ __...__

The following paragraphs are selected from the notices
of the advertising humbugs which have appeared day by
day in the Manchester Guardian. It does not matter
to them what horse wins a great race, as they are certain a
day or two after to say they sent the winner to their sub.;
scribers, telling them at the name time to show the circular
containing their glorious success to their friends :
" Bottomley's Selections—Chester Cup—Put a little on
Accident to win, and Change for a place. One week, 12
stamps; to Derby, 36; season, 12s. 6d.—Address T. Bot.

THE BISHOP-MAKING PREMIER.—Of the present
Bishops, Lord Paluierston has had the nomination
of 13 (including Peterborough, which will be filled in a day
or two), namely, Canterbury, York, London, Durhaml
Carlisle, Ely, Gloucester and Bristol, Norwich, Peter..
borough, Ripon, Rochester, and Worcester.
The knowledge of Verdi is not great at Odessa.
Recently the " Ballo iniMaschera" was announced at the
Italian Opera there, and two-thirds of the company arrived
in masks and costumes to assist at the masked ball of
Verdi.

FELICIAN DAVID, THE COMPOSER, is about to
produce an opera, the text of which is Shakspeare's " All's
Well that Ends Well."
THE BOATSWAIN'S WHISTLE.—In our degenerate
days, the "pipe," or " call," or " whistle," is attached
chiefly, if not exclusively, to the office of the boatswain and
his mates; but in the " good old times," the kings, both of
England and Scotland, wore the whistle as a symbol of
maritime sovereignty. Thus, when James V. made a tour
of inspection of his coasts, sending a precept at the end of
May, 1530, to Dumbarton, that boats and ships, well
victualled, might be sent to the isles to meet him there, he
ordered his working goldsmith, Mossman, to convert 41oxs.
of gold of the mine into one guhissel, which whistle was at
that time the emblem of supreme command in naval affairs.

" SATisrAcTioN."—Colonel Hooser and his wife
were at a ball, and in the course of the evening one
General Plugugly so far forgot himself in the absence of
the colonel for the purpose of liquoring up, as to salute
Mrs. Hoosier in an osculatory manner. She screamed.
The intelligence of the outrage was conveyed to Colonel
Hoosier, and he, hot from the bar, and redolent of cocktail,
rushed into the very midst of a quadrille, crying out" Stop
the ball, Thunder and gumbo I stop the ball! General
Plugugly has kissed my wife I " There was an awful
pause, an ominous lull. The teeth of men were set, the
cheeks of women blanched ; and revolvers and bowie-
knives were uppermost in the minds of all. Shortly, how-
ever, the voice of Hoosier was once more heard crying,
"Musicians, rosin up I The ball may go on agin. Gene-
ral Plugugly has behaved like a gentleman ; by gum he's
loaned me five dollars.—Temple Bar.
DESPATCH OF THE AMERICAN MAILS.—SOUTH•
AMPTON, May 4.—The Hamburg American Company's
steamship Germania, Captain Schwensen, sailed hence this
afternoon with the English, French, and German mails for
New York, She took out 277 passengers, a very large
cargo on freight, and 10,000 f. value in' jewellery from.

BLUCHER'S .I".lyE AT WATERLOO.—Oa the
morning of the memorable battle of Waterloo,
Henneman had just handed his master (Blucher) a lighted
pipe, when a cannon-ball struck the ground close by, scat-
tering earth and gravel in all directions, and causing the
white charger on which Blucher was mounted to spring
aside—a manceuvro that broke the pipe into a thousand
pieces before the owner had time even to lift it to his lips.
" Just keep a lighted pipe ready for me; I shall be back
in a few moments, after I have driven away the rascally
French churls." With these words Blucher gave the com-
mand, "Forward, boys I" and oft he galloped with his
cavalry. Instead, however, of a chase of a few minutes,
it was a rapid march of nearly a whole hot summer day, as
we all know from history. After the battle was over,
Blucher rode back with Wellington to the place where he
first got a glimpse of the combating armies, and nearing
the spot where Blucher had halted in the morning, they
saw to their surprise a solitary man, his head tied with a
handkerchief, one arm in a sling, and calmly smoking a
pipe! "Donner and Blitz I" cried Blucher. "why, that
is my Henneman. How you look, boy; what are you
doing here alone ?" "Waiting for your speedy return,"
was the grumbling answer. " Yau have come at last I I
have waited for you here, pipe in mouth, for the whole
long day. This is the last pipe in the box. The cursed
French have shot away every pipe from my mouth, have
ripped the flesh from head, and shattered my arm with their
deuced bullets, It is well there is an end to the battle, or
you would have been too late even for the last pipe." Say•
ing which he handed to Blucher the pipe, to enjoy the re-
maining fumes of the weed. Wellington, who had listened
attentively to the conversation, here remarked to Blucher,
"You have just admired the unflinching loyalty and
bravery of my Highlanders, what shall I say to this true
and devoted soul ?" "But your Highlanders had no pipe
to regale themselves with."—Bentley's Magazine.
WHIG V. TORY.—The Whig has his dogmas ;
the Tory has his traditions; The Whig is a political
doctrinaire; the Tory is a political devotee. The Whig
believes in the Divine origin of "liberal measures," and is
ever ready to cure "the something in the world amiss" by
morsels of Parliamentary reform, doled out with the preci-
sion of a parish overseer; the Tory looks more to the spirit
than to the letter of the law, and his confession of faith is
rather a sentiment than a creed. From this original diffe-
rence of constitution many important practical consequences
ensue. The Tories, for instance, recruit their ranks from
the people ; the Whig families keep the government among
themselves, The Tories have been led by plebians—Pitt,
Addington, Canning, Peel, Disraeli, are the chiefs they
have served ; but the Whigs have consistently held that
only a select tribe, a consecrated caste, can lawfully minis-
terte:
before the ark of the constitution. More than 70 years
ago, in a letter addressed to Junius, Horne Tooke o°m
thanplained to
warmly that the Rockingham connection preferred rather to
make matches and to extend the family alliances

"their

public.''Even
at this day the reproach (if it be reproach, and
a pure
Whig would probably not consider it such) has not been
quite wiped away.—Fraser.
RAILWAY ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon the
Hertford branch train left King's-cross at 1 30, and
having separated, as ustial, at Hatfield, proceeded on its
journey. At Welwyn
Junction it appears that the points
had to be changed to all ow of the passage of the train t 3
Hertford, and as far as could be ascertained the signalman
held them properly for a time but not long enough. The
train cons'
.sted of an engine, tender, and three carriages,
and had Passed the junction points in safety; but unfor-
tunately before the last carriage, containing about 30 per-
sons, had reached the spot the lever by which the points of
metal are directed was released. The last portion of the
train became separated,. and the consequence was that ono
of the carriages was upset. Mark Austin, a shoemaker,
Mr W. G. Bradshaw and Mr C. Bradshaw, brewers, of
Hatfield, and several other persons, are seriously injured.
As soon as the accident was notified to the officials Dr.
Drage and other medical men were brought to the spot, and
rendered every assistance to the sufferers. The officials of
the company will institute a strict inquiry into the cause of
the accident.

MISSING SHIP.—The Atlantic (English bark),
Crowell, from Licata for Hamburg, with roue' brimstone,
put into Cadiz for repairs, sailed thence on the 13th of
November, and has not since been heard of.
THE TRUTH AS REGARDS THE FINANCIAL EM.
BARRASSMENTS OF THE DUCHESS DE BERRY.—
Her liabilities were estimated at four millions and a half,
The Count de Chambord has employed three millions of his

own capital to meet the debts of his mother. For the re-
maining million and a half he is said to have accepted, but
only by way of loan bearing interest, the offer of money
from some faithful friends. The duchess, moreover, gave

up all her property to her son when he charged himself with
her debts. It principally consists of the Vendramini Palace
at Venice, with its collections of pictures, and of the estate
of Brunsee. The calculation is that, after the settlement of

the liabilities and the realisation a the property, the dry
lose will not exceed two millions,
