THE HERO GARIBALDI!

A noble head of General Garibaldi has just been
drawn by Otto Leyde, and lithographed by Fr.
Schenck, of Edinburgh. The likeness has been
preserved ,by draughtsman and lithographer
through continual reference to a medallion-
bust, and a photograph. There are not many
in this country who will fail to look with
profound interest upon this truthful effigy
of the dauntless and romantic adventurer. It is,
in simple truth, a noble head—just the very ideal
head one might have imagined could alone grace
the form of the daring condottiere. It is right
that we should here add the simple intimation,
that the proceeds from the sale of this portrait are
to be handed_over to the Garibaldi Committee.

The Princess Alice, attended by Lady Caroline
Barrington and Major-General Wylde, honoured the per-
formance at the Princess's Theatre with her presence on
Saturday evening.

The Queen, accompanled by the Count of Flan-
ders, honoured the performance at the Olympic Theatre
with her presence on Saturday evening. In atteWnce
were the Hon. Caroline Cavendish, the Hon. Horatia Stop-
ford, Viscount Torrington, Major-General Seymour, and
Major Burnell.

POOL.—The trial of the prisoners in this case will come on
either to-day (Monday) or to-morrow at the Liverpool ses-

membered by our readers that the amount of the bills
stolen was £ll,OOO.
Her Majesty will, it is believed, pay a visit to
the Royal Pavilion, at Aldershott, at the latter end of

A new and comprehensive History of England,
by Adam Scott and Edward Farr. W 3 heartily recom-
mend this new history of England to every one engaged in
tuition. The plan upon which it is written is admirable, and
the 4,000 examination questions which it contains are of
the greatest use to all students preparing for the middle
class examinations.
TREMENDOUS FIRE NEAR HULL.—On Friday
morning one of the largest fires that have occurred in
Beverley for very many years past took place on the pre-
mises of Messrs. Croskßilal'istwtrustees on the Bridlington side
a the North-Eastern station,
l destroying buildings
and property to the value ofaiYltlar 1.£25,00. As some of our
readers may be aware, Messrs s ill are very extensive im-
plement manufacturers, and their premises cover an area of
four acres, and upwards of 300 men are employed in the
various departments. The fire appearsit have originated in
the wheel department, a buildine.

The roof fell
in with a fearful crash. The roof of theen,gmheel hts' shed,
a building 190 feet long, was cut off from the otherri portion,
and this stopped further progress in that direwcatsion. There
was a great scarcity of water, and it

until
after ten o'clock that the flames were got an
under control. The wheel department, the wheel shed,g and
the flour mill, are one heap of ruins, and the whole of the
valuable machinery which they contained has been
hope-
lessly destroyed. The total cost of the damages is estimated
at £25,000, but we understand the trustees are insured in
two Yorkshire offices. How the fire originated is at present

Mystery.
POPISH DEFIANCE OF THE LAW.—..k. great
many wild Irishmen are to be seen perambulating our
metropolis in a wretched state. Their presence has nothing
to do with the usual influx of hay-making " pisentry."
They are the defenders of the faith, fresh imported, and
waiting in rather dismal plight, without even a shilling to
spend to see Madame Tassaud's, till the funds are forth-
coming to transport them to the Roman dominions. The
men are openly escorted from Ireland, and received at the
London termini by Father S- and Mr. o'o---, who
have taken upon themselves the business of providing
lodging and board, and forwarding the faithful. It is cu-
rious that such things should continue despite the procla-
mation of the Government.—Lsoli 111(1.410y arrespotgfent.
