A letter from Turin of the 11th inst. contradicts a
report that the Ministers had resigned in consequence
of the vote of the Chamber of Deputies disapproving
of the imprisonment of Garibaldi.
A letter from Genoa of the 11 di inst. states that
Garibaldi had been placed on board the frigate Saint
Michael, to be conveyed to Nice, his native place.
The Nazionale of Florence of the Bth instant,
publishes the following letter from Rome :
" I have politico-theatrical news to give you. The
singer, Madame Rebussini, had been loudly applauded
for some time by the French who crowd the Argentina
Theatre. The rondeau of Marino Faliero one evening
excited the most enthusiastic applause, in the midst of
which a French captain threw a bouquet on the stage
from his box. The singer did not pick it up,
but as soon as she had retired behind the scenes
she sent a servant to pick it up; she re-appeared
afterwards, but without the bouquet. The French
officers were offended at this, and resolved upon
revenge for the affront. The next evening the theatre
was nearly full of French; there were only about 100
Romans in the pit, and very few in the boxes, which had
almost all been taken by the French. After the ron-
deau the bouquet as before fell before the feet of the
singer, who made her exit without. picking it up. Im-
mediately the French drew whistles from their pockets,
and commenced a most terrific concert, mingled with
cries of Take the bouquet!' All the Romans who
were in the theatre, on the contrary, applauded and
cried, Bravo! bravo! no! no! Show them our sym-
pathy!' At last the Romans, seeing that the
French officers persisted, left the theatre; the
French desisted, and the act of Colurnella began. About
30 Romans then re-entered, when the French recom-
mence) their clamours; a Roman then exclaimed, Let
all Italians leave the place!' But instructions had been
given to the gendarmes who were at the door, and who
prevented the Romans from leaving. Meanwhile some
French officers having taken the stage by assault, forced
the singer to appear with the bouquet, the cause of so
much tumult. Madame Rebussini appeared pale and
dishevelled, with tears in her eyes; she held the bouquet
in her left hand. The French then loudly applauded,
in the midst of the whistles of the Romans, and of the
violent apostrophes they had addressed to the singer,
who had been weak enough to give way. This little
history, for the present, has had no further conse-
quences."

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE AD-
VANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.—After the dispatch of
our parcel last evening, the annual dinner of the
members of the association took place in the Town-
hall. There were between four and five hundred
present. The side and great galleries were filled with
ladies. Mr. Simpson presided at the organ, and Mr.
Stevens conducted the choir, which throughout the
evening delighted the company with a variety of
classical and popular music.
At half-past five o'clock Professor Robinson took
his place at the head of the cross-table. He was sup-
ported on his right and left by the Marquis of
Northampton, Lord Lyttelton, Lord Stafford, Vis-
count Adare, Lord Wrottesley, the Bishop of Wor-
cester, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Manches-
ter, the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Ely, the
Prince of Canino, M. Drouyn de l'Huys, the French
Ambassador ; Chevalier Bunsen, Prussian Ambassa-
dor; Sir R. Inglis, Sir Charles Lyell, Sir R. Mur-
chison, C. B. Adderley, Esq., M.P., James Heyworth,
Esq., M.P., C. N. Newdegate, Esq , M.P., R. Ste-
phenson, Esq., M.P., Professor B. Rogers, Professor
Willis, Professor Phillips, Professor Power, General
Palley, Colonel Sabine, Professor Faraday, &e.
SAMUEL THORNTON, Esq., Mayor, officiated as Vice-
Chairman.
After the cloth had been removed, and th• Non
Nobis Domini sung—
The CHAIRMAN proposed, in an appropriate address,
the health of the Queen. He alluded in graceful
terms to the late visit of her Majesty to Ireland—a
visit which had revived hope, rekindled the elements
of prosperity, and had given the hope and promise of
'returning life to that poor land. He should give,
with all his heart, the toast " The Queen, may God
bless and preserve her."—(Cheers.)
After the lapse of a short time—
The CHAIRMAN gave, " Prince Albert, Albert,
Prince of Wales, the Queen Dowager, and all the:
Royal Family." The toast was received with ap-
plause, and duly honoured.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The healths of the
French Ambassador, the Prussian Minister, and the
other distinguished foreigners who had honoured
them with their presence."—(Cheers.) Welcome they
had always been, and welcome they always would be
but far more welcome were they when, as in this in-
stance, they brought with them such intellectual
power, and such rich stores of valuable information.
M. DROUYN DE L'Hurs rose to respond to the
toast, and said if gratitude could express itself by
proxy, he would entrust to his Hon. Colleague the
pleasure and the honour of addressing them. He felt
personally obliged to show his hearty gratitude for the
high honour which they had conferred upon him. If it
had been his fortune as a Frenchman to visit the great
town of Birmingham 40 years ago, lie would have
found it teeming with instruments of warfare, all busily
and eagerly employed in preparing the weapons of deadly
combat against a neighbouring nation. Now,happily, the
scene was changed. As a private individual he was
conscious of his inability and unworthiness to speak
before the illustrious representatives of the different
branches of learning in the world • but in his public
character he personifiedana nation that had always
worshipper
been, and was now, a
secciegnncietionHoef was, as it were, the living proof ofof the o
France in England—of the great truth that having
engaged in
advantages
struggles of
been long, too long,f
battle, they now agreed on the of the
peaceful intercourse of trade and science. In con-
clusion he begged leave to propose, "The promotion
"of friendly relations between France and England."lamri
Chevalier BUNSEN rose to address the company,
and was well received. He said his worthy colleague,
the Ambassador of France, had so well expressed all
he could say that nothing remained for him but to
concur in all that he had said. He could enter into
the hope that the emblem of science of which that so-
ciety was the representative, might also be the em-
blem of universal peace. It was now about 140
year since one of the grontest men, Leibnitz, the
centemporary of the illustrious Newton, conceived
the idea of forwarding the interests of science by
association. Amidst the light that was shin-
ing around them there was that of Berlin,
which the illustrious Savan he (the Chevalier)
had named, had himself founded. He hailed
