THE SUNII LONDON,' TlThn-DAY EVENING, JANUARY 14, 1862,

the 30th of November. I dere objected, on the part of her
Majesty's Government, to that which Captain Wilkes had
done. Mr. Seward, in his answer, points eut what he con-
ceives Captain Wilkes might have done without violating
the law of nations.

It is not necessary that I should here discuss in detail
the five questions ably argued by the Secretary of State ;
but it is necessary that I should say that her Majesty's
Government differ from Mr. Seward in some of the conclu-
sions at which ho has arrived. And it may lead to abetter
understanding between the two natons on several points
of international law which may during the present contest
or at some future time be brought into question, that I
should state to you, for communication to the Secretary of
State, wherein those differences consist ; I hope to do so in
a few days.

In the meantime it will be desirable that the commanders
of the United States cruisers should be instructed not to
repeat acts for which the British Government will have to
ask for redress, and which the United States Government
cannot undertake to justify.
You will read and give a copy of this despatch to the
Secretary of State.—l am, &c,,

(Signed) RUSSELL.

EARL RUSSELL TO LORD LYONS.
Foreign-office, January 11, 1862.

My Lord,—Your conduct in the irnportmt matter of the
"Trent" is entirely approved by Her Majesty. The dis-
cretion and good temper you have shewn have contributed
greatly to the success of our operations.
In order tc give your lordship, by a public document, a
proof that you have acted strictly according to the instruc-
tions you have received, I inclose an extract, annexed to
this dispatch, of a private letter I addressed to you on the
Ist of December last. —I am, &c.,

(Signed) RUSSELL.

Extract of a private letter from Earl Russell to Lord

Lyons, Dec. 1, 1861.
" The despatches which were agreed to at the Cabinet
yesterday, and which I have signed this morning, impose
upon you a disagreeable task. My wish would be that, at
your first interview with Mr. Seward, you should not take
my despatch with you, but should prepare him for it, and
ask him to settle with the President and the Cabinet what
course they would propose.

" The next time you should bring my despatch, and read
it to him fully.

" If he asks what will be the consequence of his refusing
compliance, I think you should say that you wish to leave
him and the President quite free to take their own course,
and that you desire to abstain from anything like menace."

G A.RIE_ALDI AT CAPRE.RA.

A Turin letter of Jan. 8, gives interesting news
of Garibaldi by a friend just returned from a visit
to Caprera

"We Lund him Venting fig-trees in his island; 'We
must make haste,' ho said, ' for spring is approaching.'
The idea of something to be done in the !spring now ap-
pears continually in:every word that Garibaldi says, He
may be seen on the peak of one of the rocks of the island
studying the vast reel' map spread before him, and contem-
plating the far distant horizon, as if seeking for a landing
point. The colony of Caprera has been sore e what augmented
within these last few days. M. and Madame Deiden, old
friends of Garibaldi, have returned ; the general is sur-
rounded by his children ; Ricciotti has left London to
remain constantly with his father and Theriseta, who, with
her husband, is passing the winter at Caprera. Theriseta
has her piano in the, house. She is a good musician, and
Garibaldi himself, though music is not a pursuit with him,
has one of the sweetest voices in the world. It is quite a
sight to see the way in which he draws himself up when
his daughter sings the war song from the Puritani
Sunni la tromba intrepido
Ia pugner da forte.'
Colonel Deiden has just set up the iron house which was
sent over from England to Garibaldi. It is a little wonder.
Every piece fits in and takes out as neatly as in a baby
house. There are no loss than six rooms in this movable
habitation. It has been set up in a shady place, otherwise
the metal roof would have rendered it uninhabitable under
the hot sun of Caprera. As it is there is a talk of covering
it with a thatch. Garibaldi is building a wing to his own
very small mansion, and does the principal mason's work
in fashioning the stones himself. Glaziers visit Caprera
very seldom ; a recent storm broke several windows, which
are at this moment stuffed with paper. Presents to Gari-
baldi arrive frequently, and are very useful, for the 3,000
livres a year which he has to live upon are a poor provision
for all his household ; he has to feed, on an average, 15
people a day. An English lady recently sent him a pre-
sent of half-a-dozen chairs with embroidered seats. ' Here
is a funny gift,' said he, 'to a man who expects every
moment to be marching instead of sitting.' He was greatly
delighted at the reception of a chest full of revolvers, sent
him from America. Garibaldi has still his two horses in
Caprera, and means to take them wiih him when the time
comes. He is in good health and spirits, and looks forward
to the future with hopeful confidence."

The advices from Sydney report the discovery of
extensive auriferous deposits in the Lachlan district, near
Bathurst. Splendid nuggets have been raised and sent to
Sydney. A rush has already set in for the new district,
and the Government have just organised an escort to bring
the gold to Sydney.

The China Mail of Nov. 30 says :—" The Chief
Justice of Hong Kong, who is undoubtedly the most over-
worked officer in the colonial service, has withdrawn from
the Executive Council, his place being supplied by Mr.
Smale, the recently appointed Attorney-General "

The Hon. Society of King's Inns, Dublin, have
elected a bencher in the room of the Right Hon. P. C.
Crampton, resigned. Two candidates were proposed—Mr.
W. Armstrong, Q.C., father of the Connaught bar, and
Mr. W. F. Brady, Q.C. Mr, Armstrong was elected by a
majority of two votes.
