ITALY.

The Italian journals publish the following letter
as having been addressed by Garibaldi to the Hun-
garian legion :

" Palermo, 16th July.

"My dear friends,--I am grieved at your un-
merited position, and will do everything I possibly
can for you. Italy and noble Hungary are for ever
united by bonds indissolubly connected on the
battle field of liberty, and if any evil-disposed
person refuses to admit the claims to such a frater-
nity, the Italian nation will never forget what it
owes to its brave Hungarian brethren. Do not
accuse ray poor country for the unjust measure
which has been taken against you. I do not despair
of shortly sharing with you some fatigues for the
advantage of the sacred cause of nations, and pro-
bably sooner even than you think. Consider me
for life as your brother."

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—An interesting ad-
dition has been made to the already varied collection of this
institution. A model, planned to scale, is now on view of
the pit shaft and the yard seam of the Hartley Colliery, of
such melancholy notoriety for the catastrophe which took
place a few months ago, resulting in the loss of some 200 lives.
The model shews the workings in the seam, and the posi-
tion of the 199 men and boys who were killed ; it also gives
a represen. ation of the shaft as closed with the broken
timber and other debris after the fall of the beam ; the
pumps, brattice, and cages; and the working parties in the
high main and shaft recovering the men who were in the
cage at the time of the accident. The constructer of the
model, Mr. Thomas Cousins, of New Hartley, who himself
had two sons killed by the accident, and rendered valuable
assistance on the occasion, is in daily attendance to give any
explanations that may be required. The correctness of the
model is certified by Dir. Carr, the manager of the mine,

REMORSE AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary Ann
Williamson, a young woman, attired in new and rather
costly apparel and wearing a hat and feathers, was brought
before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to commit self-
destruction in the eastern lock or entrance of the London
Dock.
James Smith, a Thames police-constable, No. 79, stated
that last night, or rather this morning, at half-pact twelve
o'clock. his attention was called to the prisoner, who was on
the swivel bridge over the lock in Shadwell. She was get-
ting over the rails of the bridge. He rushed to the spot
and caught her as she was going over the bridge, in fact he
pulled her back by the legs, and conveyed her to the sta-
tion-house. She was intoxicated.
The prisoner, whose dialect indicated that she was
from the North, and who was very pale and ill,
said she was not drunk, but was very unhappy indeed.
Mr. Selte—What made you attempt suicide?
The prisoner—l met a gentleman last night who knew
me when I was a servant. He took me in his arms, and
said he was very sorry to find that I was leading this life.
What he said made me cry, and I was very low-spirited.
That made me do it.
Mr. Selfe—Yes, you attempted to commit a most sinful
act.
The prisoner—What am I to do ?
Mr. Selfe—Lead an honest and virtuous life, and earn
your bread by your labour—not by leading the life of a
harlot, You have lately commenced the lite of a prostitute?
The prizonc, -Yca, air, since last Wednesday week,
Mr. Selfe—Where do you live?
The prisoner---I am in lodgings iu the Commercial-road,
near the George. He promised to send me home again.
Mr. Selfe—Where is your home ?
The prisoner—From Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Mr. Selfe—Who brought you here ?
The prisoner—A gentleman on board the Indiana in the
West India Dock. He has promised to send me home
again, if he don't, I must remain on the streets.
Mr. Selfe—You had better go home directly. Have you
any friends ?
The prisoner (despondingly)—No, no sir. No friends,
no brothers, no sisters I
Mr. Selfe--What is the gentleman onboard the Indiana?
The prisoner—He is the mate, sir. I hope you will look
over it. I won't do this again. I will not, indeed. Let

me gl, sir.
Mr. Selfe—Where do you intend going ?
The prisoner—To my 14 dging.
Mr. Selfe—Go about your business. Return to New-
castle and to honest servitude.
The prisoner—lf he does any good for me I will stop
here.
The prisoner then left the dock.

MARKETS-THIS DAY.
