TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

have seen the letter of Dr. Ferguson
to the 7irnes of to-day concerning General Geri-
baidi's health, in which he states that it would
be unsafe for his health to fulfil the engage-
ments he has undertaken to visit certain pro-
vincial towns. I feel bound, as the physician in re •
gular attendance upon the General, to affirm that
his health is perfectly satisfactory, and that his
wound, since four or five months cicatrised,
no longer requires surgical care, I make this
statement with greater confidence, inasmuch as
it was confirmed on the occasion of his first con -
sultatioa by Dr. Ferguson himself, and still more
recently by Dr. Partridge,
I am firmly convinced that the General is able
to undergo the journey without danger which he
proposed to undertake.

Chirurgo del Generale Garibaldi.

Departure of Garibaldi from England,

We believe we can state positively that General
Garibaldi will leave England on Friday next in
the Duke of Sutherland's yacht for Caprera.

DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGU
The Bishop of Peterborough died yesterday after-
noon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, at the Palace, Peterborough'
The last hours of the venerable prelate were peaceful in the
extreme. He was wracked by no violent pains, but died
quietly and almost with a struggle. Though the illness
which proved fatal to the bishop was somewhat sudden,
great age, 84, and his increasing infirmities, had prepare
the public mind for his decease. George Davys, BisheP
Peterborough, graduated Christ's College, Cambridge, 16031
10th wrangler,and became a fellow. He subsequf ntly became
curate of Li ttlebury; in 1814 of C hesterfield; this latter carol
he held until Dr. Bloomfield, the late Bishop of London?
was presented to that living, when Mr. Davys became
curate of Swaffham Prior; he afterwards removed to
sington, and was appointed tutor to the Princess Victoria.
He was advanced to the see of Peterborough in 1859'
In theology the deceased prelate belonged to the veal,'
gelical section of the Church. He took no part, how'
ever, in theological controversy, and was liberal towards
all religious creeds. Of late years his lordship sel-
dom occupied his seat in the House of Lords ; and ia
fact, his ambition through life was rather to be good thall
great. In the affectionate regard of his former pupil, otrr
present gracious Queen, the Bishop of Peterborough beta
a high place. For many years portraits of the royal family
were annually sent to the bishop, and costly tokens of her
Majesty's grateful affection were frequently bestowed upon
him. Throughout his diocese his late bishop was univeriall
loved and respected, and his loss will be deeply regretted'
