GARIBALD
11

In our impression of yesterday we gave Gari-
baldi's address to the Italian priests of the 12th
instant. It must, however, be read in connection
with the previous address issued by him from
Turin nearly four months ago, to the following
effect :

" To the Italian Priests,—A sublime mission is marked
out for the true priests of Christ. Unless they belie their
consciences as Italians, they cannot continue the accom-
plices of what is now doing at Rome to the injury of our
country's holy cause. Let them, then, courageously take
their stand on the breach in combating for the rights of
the human race ; let them go down into the depths of their
hearts, which are an emanation from god ; let them take
counsel of their hearts as to their duties ; and let them, at
length, spread the Holy Word of the religion of truth
amongst the multitudes. They will feel proud of having
acted well, and a grateful country will inscribe their names
amongst those of the heroic sons by whom it has been re-
deemed.
" Turin, Dec. 5, 1861."

Numerous losses have lately taken place of
vessels laden with grain from New York, Montreal, and
Philadelphia. It appears from a return made up at Lloyd's
that between the Ist of September, 1861, and the let of
February, 1862, 29 vessels from those ports, with cargoes of
most 500,000 bushels, have been lost, chiefly abandoned at
ma, and it is supposed that this total does not represent
nose than half of the actual number, The cause of the
disasters is believed to he defective stowage and consequent
choking of the pumps.
BURDER V. HEATH.—In the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council yesterday, Dr. Phillimore, on the
part of the Rev. Mr. Heath, said ho had been instructed by
the reverend gentleman to express his regret that his views
on certain subjects had been misunderstood. Lord Cran-
worth said a feeling of regret was not sufficient ; there must
be a formal revocation. This was refused, and the case pro-
ceeded. At the conclusion of the arguments their lordships
reserved their judgment.
FANATICISM.—An act of extraordinary fanaticism
was committed at Detmold, Westphalia, last week, says
Galignans of the 27th. A father killed his son, a youth of
16, and after cutting off his head laid the body on a pile of
wood, to which he was about to set fire, when some persons
who saw what he had done, seized on him. The man de-
clared he had done nothing wrong in thus offering up his
only son a sacrifice to the Lord, as Abraham was com-
manded to do.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE LONDON DOCKS.—Yes-
terday morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock, a fatal acci-
dent happened to a man named Jeremiah Corley, aged 40
years, who lost his life under very distressing circumstances.
It appeared that the unfortunate man was engaged on board
a vessel lying in the north quay of the London Docks, when
he by some means lost his equilibrium, fell down the hold,
a distance of 20 feet. He was raised up by two of his com-
panions, who found that he was insensible, and bleeding
from a severe scalp wound. He had also sustained a frac-
ture of the skull and other injuries. He was removed on
a cradle to the accident ward of the London Hospital,where
he was seen by Mr. Glynn, the house surgeon, but the poor
fellow expired shortly after his admission.
THE VOLUNTEERS.—We understand that a de-
putation waited upon Sir George Lewis at the War-office
yesterday for the purpose of representing the advantages of
a Royal Commission to inquire into the present state of the
Volunteer force, and that her Majesty's Government have
consented to issue a commission for that purpose. The
deputation was the result of a resolution unanimously
agreed to at a meeting of members of both Houses of Par-
liament, held on Tuesday last in one of the committee-
rooms of the House of Commons, and consisted of the fol-
lowing gentlemen :—Ths Duke of Marlborough, the Earl
of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Chichester, the Earl of Ducie,
Lord Overstone, Lord Eversley, Lord Henniker, M.P.,
Mr. A. Black, M.P., Mr. A. Mills, M.P., Mr. G. W. Hope,
M.P., Mr. Phillips, M.P., the Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P.,
Mr. Gregson, M.P., Mr. Bass, M.P., Mr. A. W. Kinglake,
M.P., and Mr. Deedes, M.P. Lord Ellenborough was pre-
vented by illness from being present at the interview.
STEAMSHIP BUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—Messrs.
C. Connell and Co., of the Overnewton Shipbuilding Yard,
have just launched an iron steamer for the Queensland Go-
vernment. The steamer, which has been named the Bris-
bane, after the capital of the colony, is being engined by
Messrs. A. and J. Inglis, Whitehall Foundry. Messrs.
Connell have contracts remaining on hand to the extent of
from £30,000 to £40,000. Messrs. W. Denny and Brothers,
of Dumbarton, have completed six models of steamers,
which they propose to show in the International Exhibi-
tion. The principal model in the collection refers to
the Hibernian, one of the Montreal ()aeon Steamship
Company's fleet; this model is upwards of six feet
in length, and is so constructed as to show, on one
side, the exterior of the hull, and, on the other, the interior
above the main deck. The Rona, built by Messrs. W.
Denny and Brothers for Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson, and
Co., has made a satisfactory trial trip, having "run the
lights," a distance of 13a knots, one way in 65i minutes,
and back in 63 minutes. The Rona, which will leave in a
few days for China, is of the following dimensions :
Length, 230 ft. ; beam, 33ft. ; depth to spar deck, 21ft. bin. ;
burden, 1,220 tons old measurement. At the trial trip her
draught of water was 7ft. bin. She has a pair of diagonal
engines, the diameter of the cylinders being 46in., the stroke
of the piston 9ft., and the working pressure 351 b.

the late Mr. William Hammond, of Russell-square, was
proved in London under £250,000 personalty. The attesting
witnesses to the will are L. Mieville and Frederic Louis Mie-
ville, both of Switzerland, and it was executed as far back as
1842, the executors appointed being his two sons, Messrs.
Wm. Amedee Hammond and Geo. Dighton Hammond. The
testator, who appears to have realised a large fortune as a
stockbroker, has left it entirely amongst his family, as fol-
lows :—To his brother, Mr. George Hammond, the sum of
£lO,OOO, and to each of his two sisters, £5,000. To his
eldest son he has bequeathed his library and other effects,
and the residue of his entire property is left equally be-
tween his two sons. The will is concise and very clearly
expressed. The following munificent bequests by the will of
