LECTURE ON GARIBALDI AND HALF
BY SIGNORA MARIO.

Last evening Signora Mario delivered her first
lecture before a London audience in South-place
Chapel, Finsbury. The chair was taken by Mr.
Mark Marsden.

The lecturer commenced by expressing an opinion
that Englishmen of the present day care for free-
dom no longer as a useful thing, manufactured and
patented for their own use, but as a thing good for
all mankind. The year had begun well, with the
news of peace with America, and that news would
carry more joy to every true English heart than the
news of a victory, for though it was uncertain which
side might do the other most harm, it was certain
that that war would be the deathblow to freedom
on both sides of the Atlantic. In looking at
.the
present state of Italy it would be well to consider
the steps by which the present position was reached.
Some said Louis Napoleon and Cavour had d onet
all, and only left for Garibaldi to annex Siciand
Naples. But there were men who went before, be-
ginning with Dante, who nourished theideas which
had to be forced down unwilling throats at the
point
of the bayonet. From the time of Dante the
nation slumbered for 300 years, until one arose
whom our own Carlyle had ranked among the few
martyr souls—Joseph Mazzini—(cheers)—he who
first taught the Italian youth, and among
them Garibaldi himself, to place the unity of
Italy above any form of Government. (Loud cheers.)
The lecturer then gave a vivid description of the
campaign, initiated in Sicily by Mazzini, and
seconded a month afterwards by Garibaldi and his
thousand. There was never any ground for the fear
that Garibaldi meant to do anything with Sicily
but annex it to Piedmont. But his plan was to hold
Sicily till he could seize Naples, and Naples till he
could conquer Rome, and from Rome he could con-
quer Venice. There was a popular notion that the
secret object of Mazzini and Garibaldi was to esta-
blish, sooner or later, a republic. But the truth
was, they had most loyally adopted the cry, "Italy
and Victor Emmanuel," preferring Italian unity to_
any form of government. The lecturer then went_
to show that there could be no peace in Italy—
which meant peace in Europe—until
and
Venice were free. Kossuth lately wrote,

amidst a burst of applause.)

" BRITANNIA ON THE RAMPAGE."—Our Ameri-
can e publication, the Budget of Fun, has a carica-
ture this title. It shows an old lady whose bonnet
nays
teriously runs into a helmet, whose shawl bears the
cross of St. George upon it, and who carries under one arm
Llitj
an umbrella, and under the other a trident. She is stand-
ing before the counter of a "nation's" store, saying to a
long lank Yankee who writes at a desk near by, " I want
them two men now you took out of my boat," to which the
Yankee storekeeper replies, by calling to Seward, the shop-
boy, in another part of the shop, " Here, Bill, you attend
to this. Do what's right by this old gal. I can't be
bothered with her just now."
