GAIUBALDI IN SWITZERLAND:

The charming little village of Locarno, in the
canton Ticino, was a scene of extraordinary excite-
ment on the evening of the Bth. The streets and
roads were thronged with an enormous crowd,
comprised of inhabitants of every town in the can-
ton and an immense body of peasants. While all
was expectancy the booming of a cannon was heard.
An immense shout was raised, and the neighbour.
ing mountains re-echoed thousands of voices, ex-
claiming " Long live Garibaldi !" The gun was
the signal of the debarcation of the conqueror of
Varese. At the Crown Hotel, which was decked
with Italian and Swiss colours, Garibaldi was
called to the balcony, but, owing to the almost de-
lirious excitement which prevailed, not a word that
he said could be heard. At a banquet a splendid
Swiss carbine was presented to him by a deputa-
tion. In the course of the evening Garibaldi was
seen to caress some little children, and .so delighted
the spectators that several ladies and young girls
surrounded the general and solicited him to kiss
them on the forehead. The account says that he
consented, and that to manx of them he expressed
the hope that their children would be valiant de-
fenders of the liberty of their country. The next
morning, at 6 o'clock, the shores of Lago Maggiore
were covered with a multitude, who greeted the
illustrious general on his embarkation with, if pos-
sible, even greater enthusiasm than they had dis-
played on the preceding evening.

CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
BINK ROBBERY.

John Weston, a well• dressed man, was charged with
stealing the sum of £24 10s. the property of Henry Mears.
From the evidence it appeared that on the 17th of May,
a lad named Morris, in the employ of Mr. Mears, a cigar
dealer, in 17hitechapel, went to the Unity Bank, in Cannon-
street. for the purpose of getting a cheque cashed for
£24 10s. in gold, and £l5 14s. in silver. He counted the
gold and put it in a bag, which he placed by his side on the
counter and proceeded to tell over the silver, but while so
engaged the prisoner touched him on the shoulder and
asked him if he could get some Irish notes chequed at the
ba:

,nk. A gentleman who was standing near told him to go
o Spielman's, in Lombard-street, and as he was going
that way he would show him the place. The lad went
on counting the silver, and when he had finished he turned
round for the purpose of getting the bag to place the silver
with the gold, but found it had been stolen. He gave infor-
mation to the beak clerk, and as the prisoner was the only
person who had been near the lad, suspicion fell upon him.
It appeared that after walking a short distance with the
gentleman who had promised to show him the way to
Spielman's, he made some excuse, and said that he wanted
to go somewhere else, and that he would defer changing
the notes until another opportunity. On Tuesday, the 20th
of May, the prisoner was taken into custody on another
charge, and when at the station-house he was picked out
from a number of persons by the gentleman who had
walked with him towards Spielman's, and also the lad
Morris as the party who had asked about the ;Irish notes
at the Unity Bank, and on searching him, amongst some
other monies found upon him were two Irish bank notes.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
The prisoner was again indicted for stealing £lOO Bank
of England note, the property of Mr. Uoodchild.
The robbery was committed under similar circumstances
in the Bank of Messrs. Masterman and Co.

The trial was proceeding when we went to press.

NEW COURT.

Mr. Commissioner Kerr was occupied the whole of the
morning in disposing of indictments for keeping disorderly
