Jeux d'Esprit on Garibaldi,

(From the Realm.)
Salve valde, Garibaldi I Welccme to Britannia's shore I
YJu are dear, oh ! ancient hero to all hearts of oaken core.
Though true blue be, more than ruby, pleaeing to the

taurine eye,
Bull wont run down tints of sun- down—morro trs promise-
blushing sky.
Brave as lions, void of science, cool in fight, is counoil hot,
Unsuspicious, injudicious, troughjudicious, great you are trough wise your©
not,

Dwell with Sutherland I—no other Duke could Rich full
trust inspire,
Whose endeavour has been ever to secure the Thames from
fire.

THE PROPOSED STATUE OF S-
ni,
r
AT BIBMINGHAM.—The foil,
eceived by the troasurr_Aft OWLAND HILL
.wing communication has been
—Lord Broug.ha,... 'r :—" Cannes, Var, Ist April, 1864.
Lloyd, and .1 presents his compliments to Mr. James
guine" authorises him to put down his name for ten
~ ...a (£lO 10s.) to the subscription on account of Sir
~owland Hill, of which he highly approves, regarding Sir
Rowland as a great benefactor, especially to the working
classes."

" " at t 143 Theatre Francais, is the title of a
three-act p ay, and, as the Dome signifies, is the
delineation of extreme egotism, as shown by an old bache-
lor, who has a young and pretty housekeeper, over whom
he tyrannises, and whom he keeps in a present state of
slavery, and also hopes to bind to him for life, as a needy
dependant to be the kind comforter of his old age. The
charming housekeeper is, however, rescued from
the clutches of the old man by a nephew who
arrives from abroad, falls in love with the model
young woman, and, even in spite and at the risk
of offending his uncle, insists upon masrying her. The
process of bringing the uncle to an unselfish view of the
case, through the hard things said of him by his friends,
their threat of desertion, and at last a self-prompting ray of
generosity left somewhere in his breast, forms the points for
the actor to show his development of character, and have
been very ably seized upon, It is a piece well suited to the
Francais, which loves the careful and truthful portraiture
of some idiosyncrasy, and the result has been a success
which rings in all quarters of Paris.
DISCHARGED CONVICTS.— The rntnagers of
Scotch prisons, in their report on 1863, give an
abstract of the returns made by the chief officers of the
general prison at Perth, relating to 561 juvenile male pri-
soners liberated in the last six years. The first half yearly
report after their liberation showed that the conduct of 271
was good; of others it was tolerable or not known; of 54
and 91 hyaedarallarteeard,yshreotwuerdneodntloylB7 of good conduct, crime. The next re-
port,bad half
and 45 bad, but 187 returned to crime. The third report,
half a year later still, showed 170 of good conduct, 56 bad,
and 207 returned to crime. The numbers at the three
periods whose conduct was tolerable were 42, 56, and 50,
FATAL ACCIDENT.—An inouest was held yester-
day at Gosport on the body
of Major Richard
M ollaston Clerks, of the 23th (Cameronians) Regiment,
commanding a detachment of the regiment stationed tem-
porarily in Fort Gamer. It appeared that after mess on
Sunday evening he lit a cigar and went out alone for a stroll
upon the ramparts. He did not return. On the following
morning his bidy was found in the moat which surrounds
the work, and in which the water has a depth of three feet.
From appearances which could be plainly traced on the
ramparts of the work and in the moat it would seem that
he stumbled over a part of the stonework on the ramparts,
and fell over into the moat. His footprints could be traced
round the work in his endeavours to extricate himself to
the spot where the body was found. One hand was bound
up with a handkerchief, it having evidently been out in
falling over the parapet. The features were quite calm,
and this fact, coupled with the delicate health of the de-
ceased and the shallow depth of water, leads to the belief
that he must have been drowned while fainting from ex-
haustion. An inquest was formally held, and a verdict
was returned in accordance with the facts of the case. The
funeral, attended with military honours, will take place to-

morrow.
SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident of
a very serious character happsned on the Methley branch
of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on Tuesday. The
engine of an ordinary passenger train got off the line and
crossed the rails a few yards further up, and then, breaking
from the carriages, fell over an embankment. The stoker
had both his legs broken, and the driver and gnarl were
both injured, as were also one or two of the passengers,
A MAN BURIED ALIVE.—On Monday afternoon
a man named Thomas Wilds, who worked for Mr.
Fairbank, a contractor for the Peckham branch of the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, was admitted into
way,that haenawabsefoartehis usual
St, Thomas's Hospital, having been fearfully injured by an
immense quantity of earth falling on him. it appears from
what can be gathered from
ghaivrae
occupation when the earthhe could
get out of the way the whole of it fell on him, completely
burying him. A number of men were quickly on the spot,
and he was as soon as possible extricated and convoyed to
the above 'eospital, where he was attended by the house
surgeon, Rho as mtained he had fearfully injured his
back, hip, and thigh. He lies in a dangerous condition.
FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT TORQUAY.—On Sun-
day a large number of the crew of H.M.S. Prince
Consort, now lying off Torquay, in Torbay, were permitted
on shore on leave. With the exception of some stragglers
they returned on board about 7 o'clock in an orderly man-
nor. Soon afterwards those who had been left behind came
down to the pier—it is said a dozen in all. They hired a
waterman's beat, and two men, named -Norsworthy and
Hayman, pulled them off. With such a number the boat
was overloaded, and wh.n only about a dozen feet from the
pier head capsized. Eight of the men were rescued; how
many are drowned is uncertain for the present, but the
bodies of two men—Hayman, the waterman, acid Winters,
an able seamen,—have been recovered.— Western ilorir;ng
