:ained, by a rational hope, a steady and secure;

Meantime, by the advices just received, the war
in the PRESIDENT'S hands is not flagging. We
read of a forward movement of M'CLELLAN, of
attacks on the Confederates in South Carolina,
and of an expedition preparing for Texas, the port
of which, Galveston, the Confederates have evacua-
ted. It is impossible far us, indeed it seems to be
so for the Federals, to ascertain whether
the Confederates are moving from the
Potomac—it seems, however, quite certain that
APCLELLAN is getting all his forces to the
Southern side of the River. At Charleston the
Federal object was to get possession, in order to
destroy it, of the railway between that city and
Savannah. It seems the attack was successful at
first, and some little damage done to the railway,
but the Confederates, reinforced, drove them back
to the shelter of their gunboats with heavy loss.
The Federals, with rare exceptions, can do nothing
in the way of surprises, like STONEWALL JACK-
sox and STUART. The Federals have been block-
ading Charleston all this time, and yet have not
been able to touch an important railway only
nine miles from the sea; The projected attack
on Texas seems desirable enough, if only the
Federals had troops to spare. The Union ele-
ment, in that half free State, domineered
over by a small number of slaveholders, is very
strong ; the German planters are numerous and
bitterly opposed to slavery. If the Federals can
but establish their hold there, they will soon be
masters of the state, through the aid which they
will find within it. The consequences of detaching

—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 sick room 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.

Texas from the Confederacy would be very im-
portant. The object of the Coufederates, is to sepa-
rate from the Union, and ultimately to extend their
sway over Mexico and Central America,—to cover

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.

the whole with slavery. Texas, so feloniously
wrested from Mexico for that purpose, is their step-
ping stone in that direction. To emancipate Texas
therefore would be to interpose a vast terri-
tory, large enough to form several states

between the new confederation and Mexico and the

fsrther South, and would be a natural step towards

confining a slave confederation within the smalles

limits, should the South succeed in forming a con-
federacy at all. The only objection to the plan,
therefore, is, that the North has already more

armies in the field than it can adequately support

and reinforce.

We observe, however, that the season for the
North is rapidly approaching. Their gunboats,
which they have been building vigorously, will
again be able to support their armies. Kentucky
they have already cleared of the guerillas

which. have infested it. Tennessee ;ill be

cleared in like manner.

guerillas are, indeed, said to be showing
themselves near Memphis, but we suspect, after the
account the Confederates have themselves fur.

victory at Corinth, that they have little chance

again in that quarter. Four or five days, however;

may bring us very important information both from

New York and the armies of the West. If the

Democrats triumph it will probably be some check
to Mr. LINCOLN ; if ROSENCRANZ continue to
triumph, the whole of Tennessee will be as secure

for the North as Kentucky now is. If Texas,
Lousiania, and Arkansas follow, the South will be
pretty well hedged in on the North and West.

At last we have Mr. PARTRIDGE'S revised
opinion as to; the state of the wound and of the
health of General GARIBALDI. And simultaneously
with the publication of this fresh, and we trust
final, because most encouraging opinion, as to the
condition of the Hero, come tidings of GARIBALDI'S
removal from Spezzie. to Pisa—from a bad to a
good climate, from a humid to a dry and genial at-
mosphere. Everything in truth just now looking
most encouragingly to the friends of the wounded

J_,l' aglish surgeon speaks now rather more doubtfully
than he did. Upon this point, it is curious to mark
what is actually the present state of the evidence.
M.'NELATON it may be remembered upon the day
immediately preceding the late consultation of no
less than seventeen doctors, examined the wound
with a probe, with which, as Mr. PARTRIDGE'S
report now intimates, he "believed that he detected
a hard substance which he declared to be the ball
about an inch from the orifice." That was on the 28th
October—the day prior to the consultation. Upon
the 29th of October, the day upon which the seven-
teen doctors assembled together around the bed of
GARIBALDI (among these doctors the very man who
had expressed that opinion, i.e. Dr. NELATON),
'°M. PORTA, the experienced and distinguished
•
surgeon of Pavia, made a searching examination
with his little finger thrust forcibly and deeply into
the wound; but, though he turned the finger round
in every direction, no bullet could be detected,
showing that M. Nelatou was mistaken in sup'
posing that he felt the ball within an inch of the
orifice of the wound—in fact, the bullet has never
yet been felt by anyone, nor has its presence and
whereabouts been determined by actual demon-
stration." It is true, as Mr. PARTRIDGE adds,
"M. PIROGOFF thought that the ball might be
lodged deeply in the lower joint of the greater and
lesser bones of the leg (the inferior tibio fibular arti-
culation), and he based this opinion on the greater

.LOJW MAYOR'S DAY.

This day the customary civic procession went
from Guildhall to Westminster, where Alderman
William Rose, recently chosen Lord Mayor of the
citizens of London, for the ensuing year, was pre-
sented to the Barons of the Exchequer sitting in
their Court with all the usual pomp and circum-
stance. The weather was, on the whole, auspicious,
and great crowds of persons lined the route along
which the cortege passed. The procession formed
in the open space in front of Guildhall, and started
at the usual hour, 12 o'clock. The time of march
was somewhat altered in order to allow his lord-
ship to pass in state through Queenhithe Ward, of
which he is Alderman.
The new Lord Mayor was attended as usual by
his ancient knights and esquires, armed cap a pie,
men in brass and steel, with plumed helmets, and
although other well known objects vt ere absent on
this occas:on, their loss was well supplied by the
substitution of a number of additional bands of
music and a very numerous attendance of our Volun-
teer Riflemen.
The following was the order of procession :
Police-constables to clear the way.
