GEORGE lII.'S OPINION OF SHAKSPERE.-" Was
there ever," said he to Miss Burney—" was there ever such
stuff as great part of Shakspere ? Only one must not say
so I"

GARIBALDL—To have done one tenth of what
Garibaldi has done, a man must necessarily have
thrown abide scruples which he would never have probably
transgressed in his ordinary life. He must have been often
arbitrary, and sometimes almost cruel ; and yet, ask his
followers, and they will tell you that punishment scarcely
existed in the force under his immediate command—that the
most hardened offender would have quailed more under a
few stern words of reproof from "the General" than from a
sentence that sent him to prison. That, to effect his pur-
pose, he would lay hands on what he needed, not recklessly or
indifferently, but thoughtfully and doubtless regretfully, we
all know. I can remember an instance of this kind, related
to me by a British naval officer, who himself was an actor
in the scene. "It was off La Plata," said my informant,
"when Garibaldi was at war with Rosas, that the frigate
I commanded was on that station, as well as a small gun
brig of the Sdrdinian navy. whose captain never harassed
his men by exercises of gunnery, and, indeed, whose ship
was as free from any ' beat to quarters,' or any sudden
summons to prepare for boarders as though she had been
a floating chapel. Garibaldi came alongside me one day
to say that he had learned the Sardinian had several tons
of powder on board, with an ample supply of grape, shell,
and canister, not to speak of twelve hundred stand of
admirable arms. ' I want them all,' said he ; 'my people
arc fighting with staves and knives, and aro totally out
of ammunition. I want them, and he won't let me have
them.' He could scarcely do so,' said I, 'seeing that
they belong to his Government, and aro not in his hands
to bestow.' For that reason I must go and take them,'
said Garibaldi. I mean to board him this very night,
and you'll see if we do not replenish our powder flasks.'
In that case,' said I, ' 1 shall have to fire on you. It
will he piracy ; nothing else. You'll not do so ?' said he,
smiling. ' Yes, I promise you that I will. We are at peace
and
,on good terms with Sardinia, and 1 cannot behave
ether than as a friend to her ships :of war. There's no
help for it, then,' said Garibaldi, if you see the thing in
that light;' and good-humouredly quitted the subject, and
soon after took his leave." " And were you," asked I of
my informant, Captain 5 " were you perfectly easy
after that conversation ? I mean, were you fully satisfied
that he would not attempt the matter in some other way ?"
" Never more at ease in my life. I knew my man; and
that, having left me under the conviction he had aban-
doned the exploit, nothing on earth would have tempted him
to renew it in any ehape,"—Blaciwoofre Magazine.:
