GARIBALDI AND THE IVEAPOLHANS.

The journal Roma e Venezia, published at Genoa,
contains the following letter from General Garibaldi
to the representative of the Committee of Trecchina
(a market town of Naples) :

Thanks to the committee of Trecchina for its kind
words, and now be good enough to listen to one
from me. On you, who were the first to throw down
the glove to the tyrants of your country, upon you
have fallen the most misfortunes. Such is the
reward of merit. There remain to us the approval
of our conscience for having fulfilled our duty, and
the inflexible resolve to do it again before very long.
The priests of Rome, with those who tolerate and
protect them, are the cause of all your troubles ;
they must feed on dead bodies in order to live. I
should have gone to you some time since, but did
not go for the same reasons as those which induced
me to leave you ; I hope, however, soon to be with
you: Meanwhile all of you arm yourselves with a
musket, or with something else; you will find
organisers among your valiant fellow-citizens. All
of you arm. Let your example be followed by all
the other provinces, and all armed and organised
brigands and malefactors of every kind will dis-
appear. Above all, do not abandon the programme
which makes us strong, " Italy and Victor Em-
manuel !" and do not listen to the men of party.
We all belong to the nation which wishes to consti-
tute itself, and not to parties, and we shall soon be
ready to remind the audacious who have forgotten
it that this land is the land of Massaniello and of
the Vespers.—Ever yours,
Caprera, Dec. 24, 1861.

BURNING OF THE CLIPPER SHIP
PRINCE OF TEE SEAS.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
To-day a telegram from Alexandria was received
here, announcing the total destruction by fire of the
Liverpool ship Prince of the Seas, on the 24th of
October last, whilst at anchor off Melbourne. The
Prince of the Seas, which was owned in Liverpool
by Messrs. Wilson and Chambers, was one of the
celebrated White Star liners. She left Liverpool
on the 24th of July last year on her voyage to
Melbourne, with a large and valuable cargo, seven
cabin, and 104 steerage passengers. She appears
to have had tolerably good weather until
her arrival off Cape Otway, when she en-
countered very heavy gales, lost some of her spars
and running rigging, and had several of her sails
blown away. She, however, weathered the storm,
and reached Melbourne in safety. Here she was
overtaken by as dangerous an element as that which
she encountered off Cape Otway—she took fire, and
was totally destroyed.
The telegraph announcing the loss of this vessel
states nothing about the passengers, and the pro-
bability is that they were all saved, as the vessel
was at anchor off Melbourne. A singular coinci-
dence is connected with the loss of this ship—viz.,
her sister ship, the Sovereign of the Seas, a large
clipper engaged in the same trade, and belonging
to the same owners, was totally destroyed by fire
a few months ago, while at anchor off Melbourne.
The Prince of the Seas was commanded by M. A.
Brown.

Both these ill.fated ships were well known in the
Australian trade for their immense tonnage and
splendid sailing qualities.

LADIES' LEGLET.—This is a charming contrivance
wherewith to defy dirt and wet getting at the stockings of
the ladies, immediately above the boot, and, if we mistake
not, likewise to act as a foil upon which the end of the
crinol.ne may thump and rub without fretting either the
back of the boot or the clothing of the leg into an unseemly
state. Recognised, however, as a health• preserver, it has
claims of the weightiest nature upon the patronage of all,
while the readiness by which dirt is removed from its
polished surface of ratent leather renders it an object ever
clean and acceptable to the eye, which it pleases alike from
the successful association of ideas which it gives rise to,
that of beauty allied to utility. Messrs. C. E. Wilson, of
Monkwell-street, have obtained lettars patent for the Ladies'
Logic', and most deservedly se._

GREAT SOUTHERN OF INDIA RAILWAY.—We
aro informed by adviees, receiTed this morning from the
company's agent in India, that the line to Tanjore was
opened for traffic on Monday, Dec. 2. The length of line
now in operation (Negapatam to Tanjore) is 43 miles, and
it is expected that the remaining portion to Trichinopoly
(30 miles) will be opened in February,

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING —(By Magnetic
Telegraph)—By government orders the Cunard mail steamer
Jura has been fully prepared for special service to America,
and lies now in the riv,r ready to sail at a brief notice,
The non-arrival of the Europa has caused feelings of appre-
hension here.
