MANHATTAN'S RAP OVER GARIBALDI'S KNUCKLES
—Had Greek fire been placed in the pockets of
all the Italians in this city,and the friends of Garibaldi, they
could not have been more astounded than they were yester-
day .upon reading an authentic letter from their distin-
guished countryman addressed to Abraham Lincoln. It
contains the following :—" Heir of theaspirations of Christ
and of John Brown, you will pass to posterity with the
name of The Emancipator ; more enviable than any crown
or any human treasure." This is rank blasphemy. After
such a compliment to old Abe Mrs. Lincoln can do no less
than call on Garibaldi, and personally thank him for this
quantity of soft Italian soap. his friends here explain the
letter, by saying that his late wound in the foot ended in
inflammation of the brain ; and that that, when cured, was
left in a soft condition. Others say the letter was a joke,
and was so intended by Garibaldi. He ought to know better
than to joke upon serious subjects.
The France states that the authorities of Brest
according to instructions received from Paris, duly
informed the consignees of the Confederate steamer Florida
that a dock was at the disposal of that vessel to effect all the
repairs of which she stood in need. In consequence a
steamtug belonging to the port went into the roadstead on
the 6th and took the Forida into one of the docks prepared.
for her. Shipwrights belonging to private yards were
authorised to enter the arsenal and immediately commenced
the repairs necessary to put the vessel in good sea-going
condition.

JULES JANIN'S ETERNAL YOUTll.—Some men
never grow old, exclaims a genial critic of this
veteran tetalletoniste's last new work, Whatever the re-
gistrar's book or Vapereau's " Dictionnaire des Contem-
porains" may say to the contrary, they remain settled on
the bright side of thirty. Take Jules Janin as an example.
We could easily fix the date of his first feuilleton in the
Journal des Debats—but look at the preface of the" Contea
du Chalet," and say whether it is not the production of a
very young man, full of enthusiasm for everything that is
noble and beautiful, brimming over with imagination and.
fancy. The chalet which M. Jules Janin celebrates in this.
preface is the new residence erected for him at Passy—a,
chalet in the strictest sense of the word, small, neat, pie..
turesque, full of treasures of every kind, having a minis-.
ture park and water works. The walls are ornamented.
with appropriate inscriptions, and within is a round table,.
presented to the feffilletoniste by M. Lacheze, whom hi .e
friend has in return honoured with the dedication of this
" Coates du Chalet."
The Court of Assize of Indre-et-Loire last week
tried a returned convict named Maurice, aged 59,,
charged with having murdered at Cerizay an infirm old.
man, named Barrilaut, nearly 80 years of age. It appeared,.
from the evidence, that the prisoner returned to France on.
the 28th April last from Cayenne, where he had undergone
a sentence of ten years' hard labour. As soon as he landed'he commenced his old practices, and on the 30th May he
murdered Barrilaut, and plundered the house, which he
had entered under pretext of begging a glass of wino. Ha
was arrested immediately after the crime. The evidence
against him being most conclusive, he was found guilty
and condemned to death.
The Pays gives some explanation of the provi-
sional seizure of the Confederate man-of-war Florida, now
uuder repairs at Brest. It seems that M. Monier, the ship-
owner, at whose instance the measure has been taken..
claims 100,000 f. damages from the Florida, in consequence
of her having put some prisoners on board one of his yes-
eels, and compelled her to alter her course and convey theta
to Acapulco. The information of the Pays may be correct.,
but its geography is clearly wrong. Acapulco is on the,
Pacific coast of Mexico, and to land them there a ship would
have to go round Cape Horn.
GALLANT RESCUE OF TWO YOUNG LADIES--
DEATH FROM FRIGHT.—Au incident well worth recording
occurred at Penzance on Tuesday. Miss Quick and Wise
Cock, two young ladies, were bathing opposite the Western
Esplanade about half-past 10 o'clock, when persons walking:
near were alarmed by screams for help proceeding from them
hapless bathers, who, it was seen were being rapidly car-
ried out to sea by the tidal current, Moments were pre-,
cious, but no one seemed ready to give the needed assist-
ance. Mr. Drew, a tradesman living near, seeing people•
running towards the beach, left his shop, and on arrival
at the water's edge saw that the young ladies were in the
utmost danger, being already 40 feet away from the shore.
Instantly, without removing any part of his dress, he
plunged into the water, and struck out for the now sinking
bathers. Robert Stevens, a keeper of the bathing machines
for the bath proprietor, Mr. Norton, followed Mr. Drew's
example, he also having his clothes on, and an exciting
scene occurred. Stevens reached one of the young ladies,
and stretched out his hand to grasp her, but missing his
aim, became frightened, and returned on shore. Drew
meanwhile had reached the youngest lady furthest out, Miss
Cock, and was bringing her in, when he saw that Stevens
had gone ashore, and that Miss Quick had sunk several
times, and would almost immediately bo drowned. Leaving
his first charge for a time, Drew reached Miss Quick, and
swam whore with her, when she was received by those on
the beach, and carried off to the baths. Without an in-
instant's delay, Drew, exhausted as ho was with previous
exertion, pushed out again and caught Miss Cock,who with
a death grip clasped him round the neck, and they both dis-
appeared. A shudder ran through the spectators, who whis-
pered ono to the other, " Poor things, they are both gone.'
Soon, however, they rose again, and with a final effort Drew
towed his charge to the beach. The young ladies, the first
rescued of whom was quite insensible,were at once carefully
tended, and a warm bath, brandy, and tea being adminis-
tered, they revived, and they are now nearly recovered. The
gallant fellow who had thus saved two lives refused the
warm bath that was proffered to him ; but one of his
hands was quite dead for two hours afterwards, and he
did not wholly get ever the effects of his exertions that
day. Connected with this exciting incident was another
in which, unhappily, death was occasioned. Maria Wiiol;
