WITH GARIBALDI IN CATANIA.

Suddenly my friend started up with the cry of " There
goes the General I there goes Garibaldi I" I rushed eagerly
to the door, and saw a group of six or seven men moving
rapidly along towards a small piazza where a church stood.
Bianciardi took my arm, and we hastened after them. By
the time we gained the piazza the others had reached the
church, and passed in. Strangely enough the custode was
proceeding to close the doors after them, when my
friend came up ; and, after a slight remonstrance, and
a very modest bribe, we got leave to follow them.
The custode simply pointed to the tower, up the stairs
of which they had gone, and left us. I own I was not
Perfectly satisfied with myself for thus obtruding
on Garibaldi's notice in a mode so very questionable.
Indeed, I hope and believe it would not have been possible
for me to have done so but a few weeks before ; but the last
few days of my life,
and my rough companionship, had done
the work of years in eradicating notions of delicacy, so up I.
went, and in a few minutes found myself one of a knot of
people on the top of the church tower, keenly engaged in
scanning the country beneath, and the largo open roadstead
that flanks the town. None noticed or suspected me to be a
stranger, and I heard an animated dispute whether a large.
frigate in the bay were the Duke of Genoa, or the new ship,
the Stella d'ltalia. "One thing I'll swear to," cried one,
"that long-legged fellow on the poop .deck is Tolosano, the
late prefect here. He is a cousin of my own, and I would
know him at any distance." " That's Mella's force you see
yonder," said Garibaldi, pointing to a large encampment on,
the slope of a hill, about three miles off. " You see," added
he, with a sweep of his hand, " how they hedge us in by
land and by sea. What number of men would you call those
yonder, Cairoli ?" " I'd say less than two thousand Ge-
neral." " And I would give them between four and five,"
said Garibaldi. " What do you say ?" and he handed. me his
pocket telescope as he spoke. I looked for an instant, and,
then taking out my own glass, I saw clearly enough that
the force was a large one, and could distinguish the staff
officers grouped in front of a tent. " Will you try this
glass, General F" said I, offering it. " Oh, it's plain enough
I was quite right. What a fine glass. French isn't it ?"
"No, sir, English." "Better still By the way—l'm ashamed
to say—l forget your name, though I know your face so well."'
" in afraid that both are strangers to you, General," said
" I only left my home to follow you a few days ago. lam c sof
the Palledoros.' You may know of our family." " I made
free with your father's palace at Palermo in '59," said he,
laughing, " and never slept in so grand a bed since. I did
my best to avoid all mischief to property, and I hope suc-
ceeded ; though certain bottles of wine that used to figure at
the dinner-table, made me suspect my fellows, had found a
key to the cellar. What can Ido for yon "Make of ice
whatever I'm fit for, General." " I want an orderly much,"
said he, pondering. " I have not to ask if you can ride. The
puzzle will be how to mount you. They're moving yonder;
they're breaking up camp; and see, the frigate is signalling
to them. Ay, they surround us land and sea. Land and
sea I" repeated he, half mournfully to himself, and then
turned to go down.—Dickens's "All the Year Round."

The direetois of the Grand Russian. Railroad
Company have fixed the 12th of January next for
the payment of the final call.

The New York from America has brought
£173,500 in specie.

THE LORD RECTORSHIP OF THE GLASGOW
UNIVERSITY.—A crowded and enthusiastic meeting of the
Li►baral Association of the Ulasgow University was held on
Monday, at which the nomination of Lord Palmerston as
candidate for the Rectorship of the College for the next
three years was carried unanimously, and with great accla-
mation. A meeting of the Conservative Club was held at
the same hour, but the meeting was private. W 6 under-
stand, however, that the Lord Justice-Clerk was nomi-
nated as the candidate of the Conservative party. There
is every reason to believe that the contest will be a keen
one.— Caledonian Mercury.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. FREDERIC LEDGER, PRO-
PRIETOR OF " THE ERA" NEWSPAPER.—A magnificent
silver candelabrum and epergne, with a purse of £4OO,
were presented to Mr. F. Ledger, at a recherche dinner in
Freemasons' Hall, last Tuesday. Peter Matthews, Esq.,
Chairman of the Marylebone Vestry, most ably presided on.
the occasion, supported by nearly 100 gentlemen connected
with " The Arts, Sciences, Literature, Music, and the
Drama." A numerous circle of ladies graced the gallery,
and the whole proceedings were celebrated with the greatest
satisfaction and eclat. Mr. John Brougham made an admi-
rable speech in the cause of the drama.
CURIOUS.--Some people say that the Emperor of
the French got his footing in France by legerdemain.—
Fun.

•
FRANCE AND PP.USSIA.—The Emperor has con-
ferred the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour on M. de
Bismark-Schonhausen, on the occasion of his presenting
his letters of recall, to assume the Presidency of the Ministry
at Berlin. Prussia will continue to be represented in
France by the Prince de Reuss as Charge d'Affaires until
the Budget has been voted, when an Ambassador will be
sent.

A MAIL COACT{ ACCIDENT.—A serious accident
happened on Thursday to the Oban mail coach. After
leaving Portsonachan, between 4 and 5 a.m., for Inverary,
and while coming down a hill between Rockhill and Clad ich,
the reins broke and the horses ran off. The coach capsized,
and a Mr. M'Callum, farmer, Auchnacarn, Kilchronan,
Lochaw, was pitched out and shuck his head against a
stone. He survived a few hours, but never spoke. Three
other persons were more or less hurt, but not seriously. As
far as could be learned, there was no blame attached to 1 ho
driver.

THE GREEK DEBT.—The Greek debt, which is
now a subject of active speculation, consists of a Five per
Cent. loan of £BOO,OOO (of which £530,000 is in existence),
taken in 1824 by Messrs. Andrew Loughnan and Co. at 59,
and of another of £2,000,000 (of which £1,900,000 is out-
standing), taken in the following year by Messrs. J. and S.
Ricardo and Co. at 561. On the former the dividends have
been wholly unpaid since July, 1826, and on the latter since
January, 1827, a period of about 33 years. The loan gua-
ranteed by England, France, and Russia upon the elevation.
of Prince Otho of Bavaria to the throne was for £2,343,750,
and was conducted by Messrs. Rothschild. Upon this the
dividends have of course been regularly paid, but only from
reserved funds of the loan itself in the first instance, and
since then chiefly from the Treasuries of the guaranteeing
Powers, who are now, therefore, in each case heavy claim-
ants upon the Greek Government. The guarantee is not by
the Powers jointly, but is distinct in each case for a third
of the loan, so that the price of each portion from time to
time is regulated by the respective value of English, French,
and Russian securities. The only period when anxiety was
felt regarding the dividends on any one of the portions was
in March, 1848, when a dividend fell due in Paris, and it
was uncertain what course the Provisional Government
might take. With regard to the Loughnan and Ricardo
loans, it appears that the bonds carried coupon sheets fur
42 dividends, of which only four were paid. These coupon
sheets, in conformity with a Dutch practice, have since been
detached from the bonds, and the coupons are sold at so
much per £lOO, but, as the arrears spread over about 35 or
36 years, and the coupons originally issued covered only 21
years, there must, it seems, be about 14 or 15 years of
subsequent dividends which will still pertain to each bond.
THE INCOME OF THE LATE CITY SOLICITOR.—
The City Press states :—" In answer to numerous inqui-
ries, we may state that the net annual receipts of the late
City solicitor, from 1848 to 1862, averaged very nearly
£2,100. In the year 1860-61, the net receipts were upwards
of £2,200; in 1861-2, more than £3,000, The income was
derived from several sources. From the City cash there
was paid to the late solicitor an average yearly sum of about
£1,400 ; for Parliamentary work, nearly £3OO ; from the
Commissioners of Sewers, some £7OO ; from the Irish
Society, about £150; from coal-whippers and Conservators
of the Thames, about £60."

The old shareholders of the Liverpool Trades-
men's Loan Company have lately had a hard measure of
the law administered to them. The company was unli-
mited up to 1856, after which it became limited, and then
bankrupt through the defalcations of the secretary. The
limited sharehelders have been obliged to pay op all the
claims against them, and the unlimited, who held shares
even six years back, have been ordered to pay a call of L 4
a share to make up deficiencies. This decision was given
by the Commissioner of Bankruptcy, but the shareholders
are going to appeal against it.
