It was resolved, That the cordial thanks of this Meeting
are pre-eminently due, and are hereby tendered to William
Marsden, Esq., M.D., principal surgeon of this Charity, for
his zealous and unremittin exertions on behalf of the afflicted
patients brought under his charge. That this anniversary
specially recognises, under the Divine blessing*, Dr. Marsden's
singularly successful treatment of the distressing disease of
cancer, his liberal devotion of so much valuable time and atten-
tion in intercepting, arresting, and more or less relieving the
large number of cases annually admitted into the Hospital, or
treated as out-patients, his careful tabulation of the origin,
symptoms, and pathological development of the cases open at
any time to the inspection of medical practitioners, the ex-
perience derived from which materially influences the treat-
ment of wealthier patients suffering from the same painful
malady. That the above resolution he engrossed, and pre-
sented in a suitable form, to Dr. Marsden and that it be in-
serted in the leading morning and evening papers.
Signed, by order of the Meeting,
OLIVER FARMER, Chairman.

GARL B,,,LDPS ARMY.
nondent of the Times.)
(From the Special Corres;

CASERTA, Nov. 1.
Yekerday there was a thronging and hastening
of amateurs and idlers towards Banta Maria and
San Angelo. It was owing to an impression that
the bombardment of Capua would begin. Why
just the 31st of October was fixed for the event is,
of course, difficult to explain, but once the idea
started it was not difficult to find believers in it.
The general impatience that it should take place
had engendered such a credulity on this point that
any wag might send crowds to the front. While
the tendency of sightseers was towards the North,
Garibaldi and his Staff went down to Naples to
assist at the distribution and consecration of their
colours to the Hungarian Legion and to the Hun-
garian Hussars.
These troops belonging to the brigade Eber had
received orders the day before to go down to Naples,
where the ceremony was to take place, on the Largo
del Palazzo, the open space in front of the Royal

palace. It was just the site calculated to set off
such a ceremony, with the facade of the Royal
palace on one side, the two large buildings of the
Foresteria on the right and left, and the church of
St. Francisco di Paola, with its cupola and arcades,
opposite to it. The preparations for the reception
of the King had rather encroached on the space,
cover as they did the part towards the church with
a skeleton triumphal arch and transparencies in
all stages of preparation ; but sufficient still re-
mained not to mar the general effect.
An altar was improvised close to the triumphal
arch, and this altar formed the centre of the cere-
mony. To the right of it was drawn up the Legion
and to the left the Hussars, while the opposite side
was occupied by a battalion of the National Guard,
which had been invited to assist at the ceremony.
Two companies of the Bersaglieri of the brigade
Eber formed a double line from the Foresteria to
the centre of the square.
The daughter of General Garibaldi and the Mar-
chesa Pallavicini, the wife of the Pro-Dictator, were
chosen as the madrine or god mothers. The first
not being present was represented by her father.
All being ready, Garibaldi, who came down from
Caserta, and was at his old quarters in the Palazzo
Angri, was informed of the circumstance, and he
drove down in an open carriage. The Mass, which
it is usual to read on such occasions, was over when
he arrived, and the ceremony of consecration was
proceeded to forthwith. Padre Giovanni, a Fran-
ciscan monk, who had accompanied Garibaldi's ex-
pedition almost from its landing at Marsala, per-
formed the ceremony. The colours were brought
up by the officers, and consecrated in the usual man-
ner. After this the ribands were tied on, and the
nails provided with the names of the persons con-
cerned hammered in. This being done the colours
were brought back to Garibaldi, who, taking one
in each hand, addressed the following words to the
STANFORD S. SMITH, See. officers :

" I am proud to place into your hands and confide
to your valour these two flags, the fraternal colours
of which are so well known on the battle-field of
Italian independence. They will be a new bond be-
tween the two sister nations. Evviva l'ltalia !
Evviva l'Ungheria !"

A general shout was the answer to these words,
after which Garibaldi retired to the Foresteria.

The Hungarian troops then formed a square, and
the formula of the oath was read by Colonel Mog-
gorody

" I swear before God the All-powerful fidelity to
Victor Emmanuel, King of Italy, and obedience to
my superiors. I swear not to abandon my colours,
and to defend them to the last drop of blood in the
fight for Italian independence, until circumstances
will permit us to return into our own country. I
swear obedience to the national committee and the
chiefs chosen by it. So may Gold help me."
Shouts of "Evviva 1' Italia e l'Ungheria" followed,
after which General Turr addressed the officers and
soldiers, saying :
" Warriors,—l need not recommend you to defend
your colours, for I saw on the Ist of October a
handful of you not only defend them but beat an
enemy far superior in numbers. The commander of
the infantry belonged to the famous 3d battalion of
our War of Independence. Follow him, and I am
sure you will never deviate from the path of
honour."

Then, addressing the Hussars :--
" And what shall I say to you, Hussars P From
the day you were mounted you have not missed an
opportunity to increase the immortal name of the
Hungarian Hussars. Our oppressed country looks
to you and expects much from you. As for me, I
am sure that when we are once on the frontiers you
will come down like a hurricane on the enemy who
oppresses us."
Garibaldi in the meantime had come out on the
balcony of the Forestaria, where the sight of him,
as usual, excited hurrahs and demands for a few
words. Having acknowledged the enthusiastic
reception he addressed the people, saying :

" This is a memorable day for you, for it cements
the alliance of two peoples and establishes the fra-
ternity of*the people. To-day you have destroyed
that principle of egotism which has kept the nations
separated, and thus has facilitated the servitude of
all. The people with whom you have fraternised
to-day have the same enemies who threaten you.
Your cause is theirs, and theirs is yours.
" But before fighting against this enemy outside
you have internal enemies to beat down, and I will
tell you that the chief of them is the Pope. If I
have acquired any merit, I have acquired that
of telling you the truth frankly and without a veil.
In using this privilege I tell yon that your chief
enemy is the Pope.
" I am a Christian as you are ; yes, I am of that
religion which has broken the bonds of slavery and
has proclaimed the freedom of. men ; the Pope who
oppresses his subjects and is an enemy of Italian
independence is no Christian ; he denies the very
principle of Christianity—he is the Antichrist.
"This truth you must spread among all those
who are near to you, for it is only when all Italians
shall be thoroughly convinced of this truth that
Italy will be really free and united."
Garibaldi had several times to interrupt his
speech on account of the applause which his words
elicited from the multitude below.

After a breakfast which had been prepared in
the salle of the Foresteria, Garibaldi went to see
Colonel Dungoo, an Hungarian, wounded on the
Ist, whose leg had been amputated in the morning.
Before returning to Caserta he wetit likewise to see
Bixio, who is laid up with his broken leg at the
Palazzo An gri.

Nov. 2.

Yesterday afternoon at 4 p.m. our batteries
opened on Capua; this morning at dawn the com-
mander of the fortress sent out to say that he was
ready to treat. The negotiations began at 10 a.m.
at Santa Maria, and in the evening the capitulation
was signed. Thus the bugbear which has so long
excited Neapolitan imaginations has at last disap-
peared. I have often ;epeated that Capua itself is
nothing, and that it was only important as 2; part of
the line of defence of a large army. This army
once thrown back, and the line of defence broken
through, it could not hold out for a day.
When the approach of the Piedmontese from the
north and Garibaldi's expedition across the Volturno
made the main body of the Neapolitans withdraw
behind the Caricgalipaunao,litelsieinproenpearoaftitohne numerousstoreduce

on the left or south bank of the river, and resembles
in shape an ivy leaf, two sides of which are defended
by the Volturno, while only the third, between the
two river bends, opens out towards St. Tamar°,
Santa Maria, and st, Angelo. It was against this

side that the attack was directed. On the opposite
side of the river a single battalion, with two field
guns, was detached from the Piedmontese force at
Sessa, to prevent any issue on the high road from
Capua to Gaeta.
The line of attack was divided between our forces
and the Piedmontese who came under Sonnaz and
landed at Naples. These latter consist of two bri-
gades, both of them weak, and one of them, the
Brigata Be, with two battalions at Naples. These
two brigades, in all about 4,000, took the left attack,
from St. Tamaro and La Foresta to Santa Maria.
The Cosenz Division remained in its position at
Santa Maria, and was employed in the attacks on
the centre ; while Medici's Division, which had re-
lieved the Piedmontese at St. Angelo, had the right

attack. General della Rocca was sent from the

Piedmontese head-quarters to direct the whole
attack, and took up his quarters in the centre at
Santa Maria. Each side constructed its own bat-
teries, and manned them too, but, as wo were rather
short of artillery officers, some were lent to us for
the bombardment by the Piedmontese. All to the
south of Capua stretches out the plain of the Cam-
pania, so it was in vain to seek for dominating posi-
tions ; indeed, it is the position of Capua which
commands everything around it within cannon shot.
But if this was rather a disadvantage it was more
than compensated by the circumstance that, except
in the immediate vicinity „of Capua, where the
trees had been cleared away, the whole country
behind is covered with olive and other woods, which
serve for training the vines upon them. This gave
great facilities in the construction of batteries, the
existence and position of which could be hidden up
to the last moment. The points against which the
batteries were erected were on the Piedmontese
side, the south-westerly angle, which lies close to
the river, in the direction of La Forest& ; from
Santa Maria the bastion of St. Salvatore, which
protects the entrance of the railway and of all the
southern roads from Aversa and Santa Maria into
Capua.; and on the right the bastion of Santa
Maddalena, which looks in the direction of St.
Angelo.
To reduce the first the Piedmontese erected two
batteries, one of three rifled 12-pounders and two
10-inch mortars at a distance of about 1,600 metres
from the St. Tamaro side, and another of seven rifled
guns to the left in the direction of La Foresta.
Against St. Salvatore a battery of three rifled guns
and three mortars were erected to the right of the
Santa Maria road, and a battery of two mortars to
the right rear of this battery. Against Santa Mad-
dalena, finally, there was a battery of six rifled guns
to take it in its left flank, and another of two 32-
pounders to take it in front.

All these batteries had been prepared, without a
shot being fired from any of them until all were ready
yesterday afternoon. Thus the position of them
remained unknown to the fortress up to the last
moment. Partly to conceal the position of these
batteries in case of a reconnaissance in force on the
part of the enemy, partly to protect them against a
coup de main, the outposts were gradually pushed
forward until those on the right were at the edge
of the glacis, at not more than 400 or 500 yards from
the ramparts. Little parapets were thrown up to
protect them. One must allow that the Neapolitans
tried their best to break through this circle, which
shut them in more and more, and scarcely a day
passed without some demonstration or attack being
undertaken against our outposts—above all against
those of Medici towards St. Angelo. In spite of
the assistance which these attacks derived from
the vicinity of the fortress, they were invariably
repulsed, but often only with serious loss.
Yesterday afternoon, at 4 p.m., the signal for the
opening of fire was given at last, and our batteries
went merrily at it. But neither did the fortress
remain idle, and for the first hour a perfect shower
of missiles was sent in the direction of the batteries,
which, however, caused us very small damage. The
aim could be but imperfect, for the trees prevented
a!good view, and all was but guess work. It was
the same on our side, only the bastions were larger
objects, and therefore more easily hit. During the
bombardment Victor Emmanuel arrived at St. An-
gelo, and went up to the heights to have a view of
the proceedings. But he very soon returned towards
Sessa. Towards nightfall the fire became slack on
both sides, and, with the exception of now and then
a shell which you could see traversing the air, all
was still. The outposts reported, however, to have
heard great noise and confusion in the town, which
increased every time a shell fell.
The plan was not to bombard indefinitely, but to
recommence a few hours next morning, and then
assault the place. And the dispOsitions were taken
to effect this, all the troops receiving orders to be
ready to march. But all these preparations became
useless, for at dawn the message came from General
du Cornet, the Swiss commander of the fortress,
that he was ready to capitulate. The negotiations,
which were carried on with Della Rocca at Santa
Maria, lasted several hours. I have not yet heard
the exact tenour of the capitulation, but the garri-
son will be prisoners of war, and already the order
has been sent to Naples to prepare the barracks of
the Granito for them. Their number is supposed to
be about 6,000. The Cosenz Division is to occupy
Capua. It was to have taken possession of the place
this evening, but it was deferred till to-morrow
morning.

NOVEMBER 3.

It seems that the garrison of Capua is much larger
than we anticipated. They turn out to be between
9,000 and 10,000 men, among them a number of the
gendarmerie, who had taken refuge there as in a safe
place. How the Neapolitans could leave so large a
force as a kind of forlorn hope seems incredible,
unless we suppose that their retreat was so hasty
when they saw us crossing the Volturno that all the
troops on the Volturno line, from Cajazzo down-
wards, made their way into Capua as the nearest
place of retreat. 9,000 or 10,000 men make a large
hole in an army, and if any one could have sup-
posed that Capua harboured so large a force, it
would have invested the place with far greater in-
terest than it otherwise possessed.

The general impression is that the King will not
wait for the fall of Gaeta, but go to Naples before.
In spite of the occupation during the voting of a
large district by tho Neapolitans, the result has
been such as to leave no doubt about the wishes of
the population, and now nothing remains but for-
malities to fulfil, and the sooner these are fulfilled
the better it will be.

People who are in communication with Gaeta
maintain that the King would have left long tgo
had it not been for the exertions of the Spanish
Minister, who kept him up to the mark.
Yesterday afternoon Garibaldi went to town to
assist at the burial of Gambardilla, the lazzaroni
chief. This man, belonging to the population of
fishermen, had acquired an uncontrolled influence
over his caste, and invariably exerted it in the in-
terest of freedom. He suffered accordingly ;he
remained for more than a year in prison, and re-
ceived over 150 blows. It was due to his influence
that the rabble of Naples has been kept in order,
without any regular force, under most difficult cir-
cumstances, and Garibaldi appreciating this treated
I him as a friend.

Gambardilla was going towards his house this
morning and was stabbed from behind. The knife
entered near the left shoulder blade, and came out
at the chest. Ho lived half an hour. The assassin
ran away, and has not been found yet, but there is
an ex-gendarme suspected, who has been looked
after, but who has disappeared, together with his
family. Thousands of people were attracted by
the funeral.

To-morrow the distribution of the medals takes
place to those who landed at Marsala. The cere-
mony will be held on the Largo del Palazzo, at
Naples, and of course Garibaldi will assist. The
number of those remaining is very little more than
500, or about half.
