posed site of the projectile?' Having read which
it will in no way surprise or bewilder the reader
to find our English Surgeon continuing thus
deliberately to declare "Up to the present
time therefore (though it would be presumptuous of

me to declare the inzposibility of the bullet being in
the leg), I see no reason to change my first opinion,

agreeing as it did with the result of M. Porta's ex
amination on the 4th of September, six days after
the injury, and confirmed as it was by M. Zanetti

of Florence, at our consultation of September

9th, that there is no present evidence of

the ball having lodged in the wound." Mean-
while, though the question as to there
being any bullet there at all, is still left (like the
wound itself) open—we have every reason to be-
lieve that there is, at any rate, no longer any fear
whatever of amputation. Supposing even that there
is a bullet there still requiring extraction—the sys-
tem of treatment now being adopted is calculated
to facilitate its extraction without any, the smallest
risk of amputation. Removed now to a genial cli-
mate, surrounded by every possible comfort, sus-
tained, by a rational hope, a steady and secure,
though a gradual and tediously prolonged recovery
--GARIBALDI may wait patiently for his re-
storation upon a couch now (we are
glad to know this) rather of tedium than
of suffering. It is satisfactory to learn through this
report of Professor PARTRIDGE'S, that, as GARI-
BALDI lies there in his sickroom at Pisa, as recently
he lay during the last few weeks at Spezzia—
" The leg is suspended in a Salter's swing fracture-
-cradle, sent to him by his English friends, and he
reposes on an invalid bed which I was commissioned
to select and sent out to him from England, upon
which he was removed from Varignano to Spezzia,
and which affords him the greatest comfort and
case." So that the very bed he reposes upon night
and day, the ingenious swing fracture cradle"
that supports the wounded limb of the Hero—he
owes to the practical sympathy of his friends and
admirers here in England It will be observed
with interest, moreover, that notwithstanding his
long and painful confinement to his room, to his
couch since September. GARIBALDI'S general
health has evidently in no way suffered, beyond
some twinges of rheumatism. His complexion,
the expression of his countenance still remaining
unaltered. His spirits even preserving their wonted
equanimity. Mr. PARTRIDGE himself wrote of the
illustrious patient—" The General's health is excel-
lent, and his face and expression unchanged; his
appetite, sleep, &c., are also good; in fact, he has
little of the outward appearance of an invalid." We
may therefore hope for the best, and hope thus rea-
sonably.

THE THEATRES.

HER MAJESTY'S.

---
The season of nine nights closed on Saturday
night with "Lucia di Lammermoor" and the third
act of "Don Pasquale." Madlle. Tietjens appeared
in both, and exhibited the versatility of her genius
and her splendid voice, first, in the hapless Lucy,
and then in the arch and intriguing Norina.
Giuglini sang the serenade, and the music of Ernesto
exquisitely, and Signor Badiali was a satisfactory
Dottore Malatesta. We trust the result of the ex-
periment has been to the advantage of the direc-
torate, as it has been a boon to the visitors to
London.
