circumstance of the exceeding audacity of its per- i
petrators. A similar inciden takes place as we learn
almost simultaneously in another particularly public
part of the metropolis, namely, in Bond-street. The
statistics of garrotting of late years would would
present a very fright catalogue of outrages to view
if they were only brought together (as we trust that
under the circumstances they now will be brought
together at some metropolitan member's suggestion)
in the form of an authentic parliamentary paper. It
is idle, we repeat, and monstrous, to argue quietly
that nothing can be done to guard the people
of this civilised metropolis, and members of Parlia-
ment themselves, from the recurrence of these brutal
outrages. If our police constables were less assi-
duous in the day time in their suspicious regard of
innocent visitors to the Exhibition, and in actually
taking into custody persons of the highest respec-
tability upon utterly groundless charges of attempt-
ing to pick-pockets—her MAJESTY'S lieges, and
among them the people's representatives, would not
be so liable to be half-strangled in Bond-street and
in Waterloo-place—in this last mentioned instance,
at a point as public as midway between the Duke of
YORK'S Column and the Guards' Memorial, between
the United Service Club and the Athenaeum,

What is the interpretation of GARIBALDI'S Sici-
lian fulminations against the French EMPEROR.
We adverted to some of them a few days ago, and
compared them with the polite and diplomatic
expression of the same sentiments by Lord Rus-
SELL himself. We observe that his supporters in
the Italian Parliament have made the very same
comparison; they have represented his denuncia-
tions as only the frank soldier's utterance of the
diplomatist's generalising statements. If Lord
RUSSELL may, iu a despatch to Lord COWLEY
which was to be read to M. THOUVENEL, say, that
the position of the French at Rome was such a
violation of international law, and of principles in
which the French and English Governments had
agreed that it could not last long, GARIBALDI
might be excused for personifying the outrage in
the man who places the French soldiers where
they are, and for denouncing the" autocrat and the
wilful tyrant." Such is the representation of his
friend CRISPI. RATTAZZI, on behalf of the Go-
vernment, affirmed that the Sicilians were so
strongly attached to the war-cry, " Italy and
VICTOR EMMANUEL," that this was one chief cause
of GARIBALDI'S success. He denied that there was
any danger in calling the Sicilian authorities to
account for being present while GARIBALDI insulted
the EMPEROR.

But GARIBALDI, according to the Turin news-
papers, rather waxes warmer than otherwise.
" People of Palermo !" he is reported to have said,
" Your aspirations are those of the Peninsula. Let
all Italians be unanimous in one will—the unity of
the country. But let us have no words; let us
have deeds and protests—not in writing—the pro-
tests of a brave people determined to free their
brethren still groaning in fetters. The master of
France, the traitor of the 2d of December, under
the pretence of screening from harm the person of
the POPE, of protecting religion, Catholicism, oc
cupies Rome. It is a false pretence—or lie. He
is actuated by covetousness, by a robber's lust, by
an infamous thirst for empire : he is the first sup-
porter of brigandage; the chief of Southern assas-
sins !" He goes on to exhort the people
to arm themselves, to be each ready with
a dagger ; to be prepared, if necessary, for a
new rehearsal of the Vespers; he denounces Murat-
ism as proconsulship of France, and of course does
not forget him in whose name the French " tyrant"
perpetrates his crimes against Italy :—" The Pope-
King, or the King-Pope, is a negation of Italy.
Our Government is not strong enough to shake off
the yoke of France. The people must strengthen
them by its compactness and energy. Let us throw
our well sharpened weapens into the scales of
diplomacy, and diplomacy will respect our rights;
she will give us Rome and Venice. The programme
with which we crossed the Ticino and landed at
Marsala must still be Italy and Victor Emmanuel.'
The same programme will lead us to Rome and
Venice." And this is the strain of all his addresses
as they are reported in the papers—denunciation of
Bourbonism, Muratism, and of the Pope, but chiefly
of the EMPEROR, because, but for his "infamous"
thirst for empire and consequent occupation of
Rome, all the others would be harmless.
What means this new eruption of GARIBALDI'S
indignation ? Is it the long pent up fires of a
generous and brave nature, unable longer to endure
the hypocrisy of the French EMPEROR, and deter-
mined to risk everything rather than see Italy ex-
change an Austrian for a French yoke ? Or has
any one given him the hint that his invectives,
while necessarily disclaimed and censured by the
Italian GOvernment, would' yet be acceptable to it ?
GARIBALDI, we may be quite sure, is not the man
to forget that the blows inflicted on Austria by a
French army rendered Italian unity possible in
1859 and afterwards—and he would be, willingly,
grateful—but the same gencrosity'which would dis-
pose him to condone the treachery and violence of
the French Government in respect to Rome in
1849, if France honourably atoned fcr the crime of
subverting the Roman republic, must turn to con-
tempt of a Government which persists in the crime
it ought to blush for. No words of GARIBALDI can
be tc o strong, in the judgment of any noble mind, to
express the perfidy, selfishness, and meanness of
the EMPEROR'S Government in Savoy and Nice, in
Gaeta, and in Rome, since the Austrians were ex-
pelled from Lombardy, and Italy was becoming in-
dependent. The revulsion of a pure and noble soul
like GARIBALDI'S from all this baseness may well,
therefore, b© the sole cause of his language.

As to the prudence of all this there will be diffe-
rent opinions. GARIBALDI and his friends think
nothing will drive' LOUIS NAPOLEON out of Rome
but exposure of his crime, or force. He evidently
thinks the French—for GARIBALDI carefully dis-
tinguishes between the EMPEROR and the people—
will at last get ashamed of their EMPEROR'S policy
when it drives the WASHINGTON of Europe to paint
him to all Europe in his true colours. Those who
censure GARIBALDI remark that, by gaining the
recognition of Russia, the EMPEROR has laid the
kingdom of Italy under fresh obligations. This
the more liberal Italians deny. Russia and Prussia
are but the shells of the oyster, Rome is the oyster,
and that the EMPEROR keeps. Moreover, the
Turin Government had to humble itself to break-
ing up the Polish school as the condition of Roman
recognition. Besides Italy does not want the pa-
tronage or protectorate of France—if France will
do her justice, and cease to rob her of her capital,
she could wait for Russia and 4ussia to come in
when they pleased. ~n

There is one consolation for the friends of Roman
and Italian liberty—the longer the EMPEROR up-
holds the Papal tyranny the worse does it appear to
all Europe. Father PASSAGLIA'S unanswerable
demonstration that the temporal Princedom is no
part of the Popedotn, and that it would be for the
good of the Church to renounce it, has been followed
by a pamphlet, not less able, by a German Catholic,
DOLLINGER, reviewed in the number of the Edin-
burgh just issued, whi
—e" comes substantially to the
same conclusion ; since the Doctor shows at length
that the temporal power Was a late incident, and

has been a very precarious, often injurious, adjunct
to the Headship of the Catholic Church. The Ger-
man Doctor hates the Italians, still he is not blind
to the intolerable wretchedness of the Roman Go-
vernment, and the reasonableness of their wish to
change it. When a German Catholic argues thus,
it is evident that the opinion is spreading that the
independence of the POPE is not furthered by his
dependence on French bayonets, and by his civil
government being the very worst in all Europe.
At present the papacy is a miserable illustration of
worldly ambition and mal-administration. This
can hardly be an edifying example for the Bishop
of Roman Catholic Christendom to set to his flock.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Last night Norma
was repeated for the second time. It was, doubtless, in
consequence of the extraordinary success of Mdlle. Titiens
in the character of Norma, on Saturday evening last, that
the house was crowded to excess. At the commencement
of the opera there was considerable disturbance for room in
the pit and gallery. At last, in answer to low: calls from
every part of the house for Mr. Mapleson, that gentleman
came forward. At his appearance the clamour abated, and
he proceeded to assure the audience that he regretted
deeply the inconvenience from which they were suffering,
while he thanked them heartily for the proof of the extent
of their patronage. In conclusion, he said that all persons
who desired it should instantly have their money returned,
or tickets handed them for another night. This announce.
ment had the effect of a:laying the dissatisfaction, and the
performance was permitted to continue without any further
interruption.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—Last night a fire broke
out on the premises belonging to Mr. E. Humm, a hatter,
carrying on business at No. 55, Holywell-lane, Shoreditch.
The flames commenced :n the second-floor workshops, and
owing to the inflammabe nature of the goods on the pre-
mises, the flames spreadrapidly. The engines of the parish,
with Barton, the parishengineer, and several of the London
Brigade, including the :and steamer by Shand and Mason,
quickly attended tinder the command of Captain Shaw and
Foremen Bridges and G: Gerrard. A good supply of tlio
East London Company's water having been procured, all
hands went to work, tut the flames could not be ex-
tinguished until the workshops in which the fire began
were burnt out and the roof destroyed. Fortunately, Mr.
Humm was insured in the Norwich Union Fire office.
There was also a fire tn the premises belonging to J.
Burton, a lodging-housekeeper, No. 8, Kinnerton-street,
Knightsbridge, which destroyed the lower part of the
building and severely injtred the upper portion. Unfortun-
ately, the occupier was uninsured. This fire was caused
from a spark flying out of the gate and setting a quantity
of linen in flames.

THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY AND THE FLEET
SEWER.—We are glad to find that the accounts supplied of
the accident to these works on Wednesday were somewhat
exaggerated. The sewer, which, from being overcharged
with storm water, forced itself into the bell mouth of the
line, was a small auxiliary, forming one of the district con-
sexious with the Fleet-ditch, in Maiden-lane, King's •cross.
The rush of water into the railway works at the station
now approaching completion at King's .cross, was alarming
for a short period, and threatened to become much more
extensive, but in consequence of the very short time the
storm lasted, the flow of water into the works did not ex-
ceed 21 feet in depth. All fear of further injury was over-
come by 12 o'clock at night. The whole of the works, both
upon the line and the sewer were yesterday going on as
usual, every possible effort being made on the part of Mr,
Jay and his numerous stab of men to repair the damage
occasioned by the fracture of the sewer some weeks since,
so as to get the permanent way finished to the temporary
station for the City at West street, near Farringdon-street,
as soon as possible, and on behalf of the Metropolitan Board
of Works to rebuild the sewer and make good the roadway
the entire length of the breakage.

THE HOP PLANTATIONS.—ROCHESTER, July 16.
Notwithstanding the ungenial weather, which continues
to operate against the prospect of so large a crop as was
at first anticipated, the bine in most of the plantations
has an exceedingly healthy appearance, and the Mid-
summer shoots are growing strong and vigorously. The
slight hoar frosts which were experienced a few mornings
since have given a severe check to the hops in some of, the
grounds, but in consequence of their healthy condition the
mischief will be but trifling. in all the grounds the plants
have a most luxuriant appearance, and should there: be, an:
agreeable change in the weather, a fine crop may be:s'af:ely
anticipated. Within the last few days :there have bait a
considerable increase in vermin, but these are looked after
by an amazing number of "niggers," which destroy them
by myriads." In some of th:: more protected lands the
plants are already coming into burr, promising a somewhat
earlier crop. The number of acres of hops under cultivation
is believed to have decreased this year, but it is probable
that, notwithstanding this circumstance, the returns this
season, owing to the superior cultivation and other causes,
will show a growth as large as that in some of the best
years.

FEARFUL bCENE.—As Bell's troupe of eques-
trians were proceeding through George's-street, Kings-
town, on Tuesday, previous to the Mid-day performance,
a man named Kelly, a shoemaker, incautiously got too
near the van containing the lions, for the purpose of teas-
ing them, when one of the beasts caught his arm in her
talons and dragged it into the cage, lacerating it in a fear-
ful manner—literally tearing all the flesh away from the
shoulder downwards. The lion also clutched at his face.
It was a fearful moment of suspense—Vie people about the
cage were bewildered, and totally powerless to render the
least assistance. Mr. Batty, the great lion tamer, seeing
how matters stood, rushed boldly into the cage and beat
the brute with a loaded whip which he carried, and
succeeded in forcing the lioness to let go her prey. But
for Mr. Batty's intrepid conduct and timely assistance, the
unfortunate man would have been torn to pieces. To save
the man's life it was deemed necessary to amputate the
arm.—Dublin Freeman.

inbeayto live in Russia. While, in
now hove some idea and
feeling of f most
what careless

the chief cities, the great merchants are failing every day,
o
and the insurance offices are bankrupt ; and while, in the
country, the families of nobles do not know which way to
turn to obtain the luxuries of life, which have become
necessaries to them, or even to get clothes to wear, the out-
side world at least learns to pity them , and it is enough to
make anybody shudder to think of living in a groping
panic from day to day, not knowing whom to trust, and
afraid to let anybody in, for fear of fire-balls and lucifer-
matches. While it is quite true, however, that society
there is in a fearful suspense, awaiting a hurricane, with-
out knowing to what quarter to look for it, or how to make
preparation against it, it is a.so true that this state of mind
is so far from being anytling new, that Russians may
suffer less from it than we Gould. The gentry of South
Carolina declare, that the:f enjoy
life under conditions
which would spoil our pleasure in everything,—under
dread of fire,, dread of bang out after dark, dread of
country rambles, dread of icor whites in tlle woods, and of
poor blacks in their own horses ; and in the same way the
Russian gentry think themselves the gayest people in the
world, in their life of social precariousness, and of restric-
tion on personal action.—Om a Week,
BRAEMAR.—A GENTLEMAN LOST AMONG THE
HILLS.—On Wednesday morning the 9th inst., an' elderly
gentleman of the name of Jones lett the Invercauld Arms
for a walk on the Glencalla•er Hills, to collect geological
specimens. He ordered a carriage to be in waiting at
Lochcallater at five in the aiernoon, which was punctually
attended to, but he did no, make his appearance. Consi-
derable alarm was felt at tie hotel when the coachman re-
turned at 11 o'clock at nifht, and reported that Mr. Jones
had not appeared. A man en horseback was immediately
despatched to the Glen, and at early hour in the morning a
body of young men and guides were sent to scour the.hille.
On Friday the search vas continued; the people of the
village having turned out in numbers sufficient to make a
thorough examination of the hills, lakes, marshes, and
waterfalls. About 11 o'cock a.m., Mr. Jones was found
near the top of a precipitois cliff over which he had fallen.
By a lucky chance his gedogical hammer had caught in a
cleft of the rock, and to tiffs he had clung. He was quickly
extricated from his dangenus position, where he had been
for 42 hours. He had sutained no serious bodily injury,
and is doing well.—Seotsnan.

HOPS IN ENGLAND.—Many futile attempts were
made at an early period to cultivate hops in England. Mr.
Scott, while acknowledging that the best plants could be
obtained from Flanders, censures the Flemings for " dazel-
ing us with the discommendation of our soyle," and asserts
that we need not go abroad for that which we can find at
home. This was a little ungrateful. The hop, it is true,
grows wild in England, but it has never been brought to
complete perfection. The conclusion arrived at by a Par-
liamentary committee in 1857,
after listening to a great deal
of evidence, was that the best hops in Europe are grown in
Bavaria and Bohemia. Those grown at Farnham are con-
sidered the best produced in England. Next in quality are
Aid hops of
SusScx ancuierit. 'Latterly, the crop has 'ailed
to a very large extent; and 'the growers must be well-nigh
disheartened by their maily losefe. In the debate which
took place on the hoy chities in thia 'session. of 1861, a mem-
ber, who had for some years cUltivated hops on his own
land, stated that he hed occasionally been iu doubt whether
the hops on his poles were worth picking—so poor were
they in quality, and so unduly severe was the pressure of
the duty; for it is a strange anomaly that the same duty is
charged on hops of the worst quality as on hops of
the best.

The following facts with regard to the telegraph
to Utah are of interest :—The distance by the route fol-
lowed was 3,242 miles. Repeaters were used respectively
at New York, 234 miles ; Pittsburg, Pa., 709 ; Cleveland,
Ohio, 795; Chicago, 111., 1,159; and Omaha, Nebraska

amount of battery used was about 750 cups of Grove. The
longest uninterrupted circuit was from Omaha to Salt Lake,
a distance of a little more than 1,200 miles.--Panama Star.
