TIIAIIIES.

A DISGRADEPUL AND SANGWINARY APPRAY.—Johanna
Ccrnish, a masculine and savage looking woman was
brought before Mr. Selfo charged with assaulting Catherine
Smith, who appeared in court with what the Magistrate has
so often described as the London Hospital head dress, sur-
gical bandages with the words London Hospital painted
thereon in large capitals.

The two women are members of the frail sisterhood, and
frequent the classic land of Shadwell. Last night they
met in a public-h,Juse in the High-street, and quarrelled.
As the complainant was emerging from the house, the pri-
soner flew upon her like a tigress, and struck her repeatedly
on the head and face, inflicting severe wounds. The blows
wore accompanied by the most infamous language and
threats, and the complainant was left upon the
ground weltering in her blood, and was conveyed upon a
stretcher to the London Hospital. She lost a large quan-
tity of blood. Her elothes were saturated with gore, and
she was in a very weakly condition.

Mr. Selfe asked the complainant why she left the hospi
tal in the frightful condition she was in ?
Witness—l must go back at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

Mr. Selfe—Get back as soon as you can. He then sen-
tenced the prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment and hard
labour.

A Turin letter of the 18th says :—"I have
already mentioned that Garibaldi would be on the
scene again ere long. I find a further proof of that
assertion in a letter dated from Caserta, Nov. 6,
and addressed by himself to the committees of as-
sistance, the same which organised the expedition
to Sicily. Here it is Brethren, you have well
served the country; Italy owes in part to your
efforts the deliverance of its southern provinces.
Do not separate ; do not leave your undertaking
incomplete. What you havo done for Naples and
Sicily you must also accomplish for Rome and
Venice. The artifices and meannesses of others
should stimulate your zeal instead of discouraging
you. The end must be attained. You will see me
ever ready to hasten to the spot where the standard
of Italy and Victor Emmanuel shall be raised.'
This language is clear and precise, and you may be
certain that it will be attended to by the persons to
whom it is addressed."

BANK OF UPPER CANADA.—With regard to the
position of this bank, the last advices from Toronto men-
tion that a meeting had been held between representatives
of that institution and of some of the other leading banks of
the province—namely, the Bank of Montreal, the Commer-
cial Bank, and the Bank of British America. The object
apparently was to obviate any feeling of uneasiness that
might have been created by the recent allegations against
the management of the Bank of Upper Canada, and to de-
vise measures of mutual support in case of necessity. An
arrangement is stated to have been come to under which
they will sustain each other with specie on any emergency.
" The banks," it is observed by the Toronto Leader, " are
in the habit of receiving one another's notes as a mat-
ter of course, but the mutual confidence is henceforth
to lead to a more extended mutual support. Under
the new arrangement nothinc, but a universal panic
such as sometimes takes place during a period of
commercial crisis, can deprive any one bank of a supply of
specie that is for all practical purposes unlimited." The
same journal refers to rumours bearing on the probability
of the Government deposits being withdrawn from the Bank
of Upper Canada, and announces that they are totally
without foundation. At the same time a denial is given to
an assertion that the Government have become responsible
for the advances made by this bank to the Grand Trunk
Railway. The security for those advances consists of pro-
perty belonging to the Grand Trunk Company in three
States of the American Union—Vermont, New Hampshire,
and Maine, and which "is of the most undoubted character
and ample in amount." The question whether such secu-
rity, however ample, can in any case be regarded as strictly
suitable for banking purposes is not discussed, but a de-
claration is put forth that "not a dollar of the amount ad-
vanced by the bank to the Grand Trunk Railway Company
is in peril."
It is understood that Mr. Kirkman Daniel
Hodgson, of the firm of Finlay, Hodgson, and Co., is the
Bank director who will be recommended in March next to
succeed Mr, Latham es Deputy-Governor.
