SINGULAR AND HEARTLESS CASE OF WIFE DESER•
zioN.—William Hatch, described as a clock and watch-
maker and photographer, of Weybridge, Surrey, and who
is said to, have taken about 600 portraits of Sayers and
Heenan since the late fight, was brought before Mr. Bea-
don, on a warrant, by Mr. Wm. Reader Turner, constable
of St. George's, Hanover-square, charged with deserting
his wife and four children, the youngest only two months
old, andleaving them chargeable to the said parish.
Mr. Turner said, from information he received he appre-
hended the prisoner at Weybridge, Surrey, where he was
renting a house at £3O a-year and taxes A female was
there with a ring on her finger, and her likeness was hanging
in the room. The last time the prisoner had given his wife
any money was eight weeks ago, since which she had not
seen him. He then wrote a letter stating that he had
entered service, and was going to Paris. (The letter was
produced).

The prisoner was formerly footman to Lady Otway, of
Grosvenor-square, and the female who was found living at
his house, and to whom it was stated in court he was also
married, was formerly in the same lady's service as house-
maid.

The wife of the prisoner, a decent-looking woman, having
proved the desertion,
Mr. Beadon, after animadverting in strong terms on the
prisoner's conduct, committed him for two months with
hard lab„ur.

DEMON STBA T.1024r OF SI. 111 P ATlllt

WITH GARIBALDI.

Last evening a meeting was held at St. Martin's
Hall for the purpose of expressing sympathy with
• the cause of the Italian insurgents, and with
General Garibaldi's expedition into Sicily.
The chair was taken by Mr. FREDERIC LAW-
, RANCE, barrister-at-law, who, on rising to address
, the meeting, was received with loud applause. He
said they were assembled to give the fullest expres-
sion of their sympathy with the
.Italian cause and
• with the Italian leader, General Garibaldi, and
• he 'believed there never was a man nor a cause
more worthy of admiration. He rejoiced, more-
over, that the cause was at present victorious, rind
that the brave soldiers of Garibaldi were driving
before them the hired mercenaries of a cold-hearted
tyranny. (Cheers.) Garibaldi was well worthy of
their sympathy; he was the bravest soldier, the
purest patriot, and the noblest champion of Italian
independence. (Cheers.) People might talk of
conspiracy, hut when a whole nation combined,
when all the men who loved freedom responded to
the same sentiment, that was not conspiracy, but
the recognition of a principle implanted in the
human breast by the Creator himself, and recog-
nised in all ages, that when power was abused
revenge became necessary. Then it was that the
resistance of a free people was a sacred duty and
an act of justice. People might speak of the impos-
siliilty of Italian unity, but he believed that in
few years it would be carried into effect, and would
prove the surest guarantee for the peace of Europe,
the rights of nations, and the-uninterrupted progress
of civilisation. • (Cheers.) It was to that unity
that the efforts of Garibaldi tended. (Cheers.) A
united Italy was just as posSible as in former
times was the union of the several provinces of
England into one great empire. (Cheers.) Gari-
baldi had been successful hitherto, and there could
be little doubt, considering what sort of people the
Sicilians were, that he would be so supported by
them that he must go on to ultimate triumph.
(Hear, hear.) Another victory might drive the
hated Bourbon from the throne, and if he should
come to seek a refuge in England, he would re-
ceive a safe asylum and a hearty welcome—(cheers
and laughter)—and we would teach him a lesson
he would not easily forget. The chairman con-
cluded amidst loud applause.
Mr. SLACK, in moving the first resolution expres-
sive of the sympathies of the meeting with the Ita-
lian cause, commented on the principle of non-in-
tervention, whieh he observed was very well as a
temporary policy, but ought not to be elevated to
the rank of a great moral principle. There was
union now in Italy for common purposes, and on
those grounds alone their conduct was worthy of
English support. Such support would give strength
to constitutional liberty throughout Europe. It
would aid Victor Emmanuel in working out the
future of Italian independence. (Cheer:).
Mr. GEO. LEVERSON, iii seconding the resolu- I
tion, said the course of events for the last 30 years
had shown that the Italians not only had the right,
but had shown themselves worthy of managing
their own affairs. It was. the decision of the

Italian people in 1848 which had. induced Charles
Albert to invade Lombardy,, and make that first
great assertion of Italian unity. Sardinia, before
1848, was as priest-ridden as any other part of
Italy. Now all knew what progress had been
made in that country in civil and religious
liberty. Struggles, defeats, and suffering had bound
the Italian people together in unity and brother-
hood. The blood of martyrs had fructified, and
countless heroes had arisen. Garibaldi had shown
that he was worthy of the respect, admiration,
almost the worship of freemen. (Cheers.) His con-
duct against the French in 1848 had drawn from an
able French marshal the admission that he was one
of those men who are born soldiers. Men of all con-
ditions swelled his ranks, from the sons of dukes to
the children of peasants. He had seen much of
Italian volunteers, and never had men shown more
courage in the field or more modesty in victory.
Nations who could furnish such volunteers as these
showed their ability for the highest functions of
citizenship. The perforthance of Garibaldi in land-
ing in Sicily was one of the most wonderful of
modern times, God grant that the Italian tri-
colour flag might soon float over the city 'of
Palermo. (Loud cheers.) The ICO,OOO Neapolitan
army were fine men, but to be good soldiers they
must have a good cause. Now, in the case of
Garibaldi's men they were actuated by the highest
feelings of patriotism. On those grounds he had
the firmest belief in their ultimate success. The
success of Garibaldi's men proved what volunteers
could do, and he hoped, if ever it became necessary
to defend our islana home, our volunteers would
prove themselves as brave in the field as the gallant
Italian volunteers, and would be led by such a man
as Garibaldi. Sicily was' one of the richest coun-
tries in the world, and once freed from the be-
nighted rule of the Neapolitan Bourbons, the inter-
course with this country would be immense, and
therefore, merely on these grounds, it was well
worth while for England to give ail the support
in her power to the cause now being wrought
out in that island. Were it - not that he had
children of his own, he would shoulder the
musket and go out to join the army of Gavi-
baldi; but, indeed, he believed that the time was
not far distant when we should be called upon to
defend our own hearths and homes. (Cheers.)
Mr. Leverson concluded by reading a copy of verses
which he had composed for the occasion, and which
was received with much applause.
The CHAIRMAN then pat the resolution, which
was as follows :—" That this meeting expresses its
admiration and sympathy with the noble efforts of
the Italian people to emancipate themselves from
evil Governments, and secure the blessings of
liberty and unity, and is of opinion that they are
entitled to the firm moral support of this country
in defence of their absolute right to the internal
management of their own affairs." It was carried
unanimously and with much enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen,

I have just received a message from Mr. White,
M.P., who says, "I have just learnt from Roths-
child's that Garibaldi has taken Palermo."
This announcement was received with vociferous
and protracted applause.
The CHAIRMAN then called for " Three cheers
for Garibaldi," which was enthusiastically re-
sponded to.
Mr. ALFRED B. RICHARDS moved the second re-
solution---" That in order to afford the friends of

freedom an opportunity of showing their high ad-
miration of the gallant General Garibaldi, this
meeting is of opinion that a committee should be
appointed to receive subscriptions, to be considered
as a testimonial to Garibaldi."

Mr. MILES, an American citizen, seconded the
resolution. He said, if a communication could be

laid across the sea from America to Sicily there were
100,000 men who would shoulder their bayoneted
rifles and march over to the aid of the Italians. But
there were 1,800,000 people in Sicily whose hearts
were with Garibaldi, and who could no longer be en-
slaved though a million of men were in arms against
them. He believed that the time was not far dis-
tant when England would be involved in a great
war; and if she were fighting on the side of liberty-
and progress she would unquestionably have Ame-
rica with her, but if she were fighting to uphold
despotism, then as certainly would America decline
to go with her in such a cause. (A voice : What
about slavery ?) Never mind about slavery. He
was not talking about slavery. (Oh.) He was
not there to argue it, but if they desired to know
what he thought about it he would answer by
quoting from the declaration of American Inde-
pendence the paragraph declaring the national
equality of all men, which he understood to mean
men of all countries, of'all creeds, and of all colours.
(Cheers.)
The resolution was then put and carried unani-
mously.
The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr.
Washington Wilkes, Mr. Lewis, and others, and
the resolutions agreed to.
The proceedings then terminated.
