GARIBALDI AND 7'HE NEAPOLITANS.

The journal Roma e Venezia, published at Genoa,
eontains the following letter from General Garibaldi
to the representative of the Committee of Trecchina
(a market town of Naples) :

Thanks to the committee of Trecchina for its kind
words, and now be good enough to listen to one
from me. On you, who were the first to throw down
the glove to the tyrants of your country, upon you
have fallen the most misfortunes. Such is the
reward of merit. There remain to us the approval
of our conscience for having fulfilled our duty, and
the inflexible resolve to do it again before very long.
The priests of Rome, with those who tolerate and
protect them, are the cause of all your troubles;
they must feed on dead bodies in order t 3 live. I
should have gone to you mull': time since, but did
not go for the same reasons as those which induced
me to leave you ; I hope, however, soon to be with
you: Meanwhile all of you arm yourselves with a
musket, or with something else; you will find
organisers among your valiant fellow-citizens. All
of you arm. Let your example be followed by all
the other provinces, and all armed and organised
brigands and malefactors of every kind will dis-
appear. Above all, do not abandon the programme
which makes us strong, " Italy and Victor Em-
manuel !" and do not listen to the men of party.
We all belong to the nation which wishes to consti-
tute itself, and not to parties, and we shall soon be
ready to remind the audacious who have forgotten
it that this land is the land of Massaniello and of
the Vespers.—Ever yours,
Caprera, Dec. 24, 1861.

G. GARIBALDI.

BURNING OF THE CLIPPER SHIP
TRINCB OF TEE SEAS.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

To-day a telegram from Alexandria was received
here, announcing the total destruction by fire of the
Liverpool ship Prince of the Seas, on the 24th of
October last, whilst at anchor off Melbourne. The
Prince of the Seas, which was owned in Liverpool
by Messrs. Wilson and Chambers, was one of the
celebrated White Star liners. She left Liverpool
on the 24th of July last year on her voyage to
Melbourne, with a laxge and valuable cargo, seven
cabin, and 104 steerage passengers. She appears
to have had tolerably good weather until
her arrival off Cape Otway, when she en-
countered very heavy gales, lost some of her spars
and running rigging, and had several of her sails
blown away. She, however, weathered the storm,
and reached Melbourne in safety, Here she was
overtaken by as dangerous an element as that which
she encountered off Cape Otway—she took fire, and
was totally destroyed.

The telegraph announcing the loss of this vessel
states nothing about the passengers, and the pro-
bability is that they were all saved, as the vessel
was at anchor off Melbourne. A singular coinci-
dence is connected with the loss of this ship—viz.,
her sister ship, the Sovereign of the Seas, a large
clipper engaged in the same trade, and belonging
to the same owners, was totally destroyed by fire
a few months ago, while at anchor off Melbourne.
The Prince of the Seas was commanded by M. A.
Brown.

Both these ill-fated ships were well known in the
Australian trade for their immense tonnage and
splendid sailißg qualities.

LADIES' LEGLET.—This is a charming contrivance
wherewith to defy dirt and wet getting at the stockings of
the ladies, immediately above the boot, and, if we mistake
not, likewise to act as a foil upon which the end of tha
crinoline may thump and rub without trotting either the
back of the boot or the clothing of the leg into an unseemly
state. Recognised, however, as a health• preserver, it has
claims of the weightiest natura upon the patronage of all,
while the readiness by which dirt is removed from its
polished surface of ratent leather renders it an object ever
clean and acceptable to the eye, which it pleases alike from
the successful association of ideas which it gives rise to,
that of beauty allied to utility. Messrs. C. E. Wilson, of
Monkwell-street, have obtained letters patent for the Ladies'
Leg-let, and most deservedly FO.
GREAT SOUTHERN OF INDIA RAILWAY.—We
aro informed by advices, received this morning from the
company's agent in India, that the line to Tanjore was
opened for traffic on Monday, Dec. 2. The length of line
now in operation (Negapatam to Tanjore) is 48 miles, and
it is expected that the remaining portion to Trichinopoly
(30 miles) will be opened in February.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENTNG.—(By Magnetic
Telegraph)—By government orders the Cunard mail steamer
Jura has been fully prepared for special service to America,
and lies now in the rivtr ready to sail at a brief notice.
The non-arrival of the Europa has caused feelings of appre-
hension here,

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

-0--

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
the dealings during the last few days have been
moderately active. Tea has brought full prices,
while sugar, coffee, and rice have been in fair re-
quest. Saltpetre continues in steady demand, but
tallow has slightly declined for both present and
forward delivery.

Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market, yester-
day, continued rather active, and prices were very
firm. The sales were about 12,000 bales.

The suspension has been announced of Messrs.
Ogleby and Co., oil merchants, with liabilities
estimated at between £50,000 and £60,000. The
failure has also taken place of Mr. T. Mansbridge,
wholesale milliner, for about £25,000.
Messrs. H. O'Shea and Co., bankers of Madrid,
have stopped payment.
About £46,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
of England yesterday.
The Kent has arrived from Australia with
£422,412 in gold, and the Europa, from America,
has brought X 21,620 in specie.
There is an increase of £1,670 in the traffic re-
turns of the Brighton Railway, and a decrease of
£1,510 on the South Eastern for the past week.
The traffic receipts of the Great -Western Railway
of Canada for the week ending the 20th ultimo,
amounted to £11,105 against £7,574 in 1860.
Increased easiness has been apparent in the
discount market to-day, the inquiries having been
limited, while the rates have ranged rather lower
than they did last week, 21 per cent. being now
the general charge for superior descriptions of mer-
cantile bills, of which, however, the supply is very
moderate. The banks and discount houses are
unable to obtain full employment for their re-
sources, and the consequence is an active competi-
tion, which allows the mercantile community to
obtain their accommodation on unusually favour-
able terms.

Owing to the advices from New York by the
Europa, a heavy tone has pervaded the market
for public securities, and Consols have receded to
92 92k for money and
.the 9th inst., and 92k for
the February account. The aggregate amount of
business transacted was not large, but sales have pre-
ponderated, and depression has consequently ensued.
The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at
Olt 92 ; Exchequer Bills at 12a. to 15s. prem. ;
Bank Stock has advanced to 238 ; India 5 per Cent.
Loan is 1051 4, being steady; the 5 per Cent. En-
aced Paper has risen to 99, and the 51 per Cent.,
1051.
_ _

ISfo material alteration has taken place in Foreign
Securities, and the dealings have been rather re-
stricted. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 80;
ditto, 1858, 70 to 701. Mexican are flat at 278 281;
Italian at 621 ; and Venezuelan at 221. Spanish
Certificates remain at 61, and Sardinian are 77.
Owing to a few speculative transactions Consols
have receded,}, per cent., the present price being
92-1 7„.

Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued rather inactive, and in some instances prices
have shown further slight depression. Eastern
Counties, Great Northern, Lancashire and York-
shire, North Western, South Western, Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln, Midlands, and North
Eastern (Berwick), have receded 55.; South Eastern,
however, have improved 10s. _ _

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
without any material variation as regards values.
Northern of France realise 39; Grand Trunk of
Canada, 201 ; Eastlndian, 100 k, 101 ; and Great
Indian Peninsula, 991.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
continue in limited request ; Oriental Bank have
improved to 524 ; Ottoman Bank realise 18 ; Pen-
insula and Oriental Steam, 674 to 68 ; and Roy al

PEDES7RIANISM.

THE TEN MILE CHAMPION CUP FOOT RACE.
This pedestrian contest came off to day at Mr. Baum's
/waning ground, near to Victoria station, Hackney, the
Prize for the winning man being a splendid silver cup.
The contest altogether was a most miserable affair,
and certainly was not at all worthy to be called a race. The
four men engaged in the performance were Mills, Brighton,
Barker, and Jones, and at 23 minutes to four they started
On their expedition in the most comfortable way.
Everything went on very well for a short distance, when
Barker gave in, and the next one to succumb was Jones, who
followed his example at the second lap of the sixth mile. Mills
at one time appeared to have it all his own way, and seemed
as if he was only playing with his opponents, but, to the
astonishment of the spectators, he gave in after having ran
six miles and three quarters, and Brighton was left to walk
the distance at his pleasure. The gate-money gave great
satisfaction.
