7HE KING OF PRUSSIA'S LAST SPEECH

The King of Prussia has returned the following I
reply to some deputations who waited upon him a
few days ago :
" I thank you for the sentiments of fidelity which
you have expressed. You have assembled here from
several provinces in order to give me with one voice
an assurance of the fidelity and gratitude excited in
you by a great measure which sprang from my ini-
tiative, and which I will carry out. Undoubtedly
the conviction of the benefits of this measure has
not yet penetrated as deeply in the mind of the
people as I could desire and hope ; but I am sure
that its necessity will in the end be recognised. It
has been attempted to excite the people against
these institutions, as if they did not tend to their
good, but I hope that the truth will penetrate, and
that my own word will reach the hearts of many of
my subjects. I haye certainly been afflicted to learn
that they have so badly interpreted my language ;
but the time will come—l confidently hope it—
when the people will recognise my kindly inten-
tions, and sustain me with unanimity. Like my
ancestors, I have only my people's good before mine
eyes and in mine heart; but to my best intentions
is often opposed a spirit of contradiction and of false-
hood which must be broken before true progress
can be made by Prussia. Not only has the reorga-
nisation of the army been imperilled in the Chamber
of Deputies, other articles of the budget have also
been rejected, the absence of which would essen-
tially impede the course of the Administration.
But the party agitations compromise yet higher in-
terests—they disturb the religions feeling of my
people. This cannot be permitted ; and I will con-
tribute for my part to the end that the faith may be
preserved in the midst of the people. It is impera-
tive that we should all see to it, that affairs are
brought into a better condition, for many appear-
ances recal the situation of 1848. It is my duty
and my will to protect all the precious interests of
the country, and I will firmly resist every unjusti-
fiable demand. God will give me strength to do it.
Have confidence in me ; God has never abandoned
Prussia."

THE LATE COUNTESS ANDREW
ZAMOYSKL

The Polish Refugees resident in London, anxious to tea

tify their sense of national gratitude to, and sympathy
with, the loss sustained by Count Andrew Zamoyski in
the death of the above lady, which occurred at Warsaw
on the 27th of October last, invited him yesterday
morning to attend a funeral service at St. George's
Cathedral, Southwark, for the repose of her soul. The
high mass was celebrated by the Rev. E. Podoleki,
assisted by the Rev. Dr. Doyle, Deacon ; the Rev. Canon
Daniells, N.G. ; and the Rev. Thomas Moore, when
Mozart's " Requiem" was executed by the whole musi-
cal choir, under the direction of Mr. Luta. In
addition to a large attendance of Poles, the church was
filled with friends of the Polish cause of ten different
nations, including several Russians. The deputed
lady, universally esteemed and beloved for the
sterling qualities of heart and mind which she
particularly displayed during the present sufferings
of the country, was the wife of Count Andrew Zamoyski,
recently exiled from Poland, who, it will be remembered,
when sent away from St. Petersburg by the Emperor, was
not allowed to pass through Warsaw to take a last fare-
well of her. In the midst of his affliction the Count
found at least some consolation among his fellow
exiles in England, who, poor as they are, covered the ex-
pense of this religious ceremony, in order to pay a tribute of
respect and attachment to this distinguished patriot. His
son and his brother, General Count Zamoyski, wore also
among those present.

GARIBALDI'S WOUND.

SURGICAL REPORT.

The exploration of General G-aribaldi's wounded foot has
furnished us with the following results :-
1. The articulation of the foot is opened by the ball on
the internal side.

2. The two malleoles, together with tho internal portion
of the articulation, are tumefied.
3, As far as we can judge by external exploration, the
ball will be found towards the external part of the articula-
tion, fixed in the bone.'..

4. The suppuration is sufficiently good, and not abun
dant.

5. The foot is slightly turned inwards.
6. The distance between the two malleoles is greater ou
the wounded side by 11 to 11 than on the uninjured side,
7. The exploration of the wound, either with the finger
or with instruments, is only indispensable when the cer •
tainty is reached that the ball has become mobile, and has
neared the surface; such exploration should be followed im-
mediately by the extraction of the ball.
8. The general health of the patient is excellent.
9. The expectative method (1. e., patience) is the one and
only method to be followed in the present moment. It must
ho Ph the quality of the pus, the detachment of
splinters, or the formation of an abscess, prove the evident
necessity, for the extraction of the ball.
10. The method of dressing the wound by the acting
doctors leaves nothing to be desired.
11. It is indispensable that the patient be kept in a
spacious and well-aired chamber, and that he pass the win.
ter in a warm and dry climate.
