AID FOR GARIBALDI.

The Cork Examiner of yesterday has the follow-
ing statement :—" On Wednesday, the 21st ult.,
an American bark, C. B. Troit, Captain Scull, 316
tons, and ostensibly consigned to C. B. Dennett in
London, for Colt, the celebrated small arms manu-
facturer, arrived in Queenstown, carrying a some-
what remarkable cargo, being no less than 23,500
muskets, with furnishings, contributed by American
sympathisers to Garibaldi. When the vessel left the
States there was no knowledge of the resignation of
the famous guerilla, but to avoid mistakes the cap-
tain was directed to call at Cork for orders. ft was
in pursuance of these instructions he came here,
and learned that the consignee of his cargo had rus-
ticated himself in the island of Sardinia. In conse-
quence of the change of circumstances, the vessel
has been desired to wait in her present locality
until the issue of the Congress be known. When she
first arrived in the port officers were, as usual placed
in charge, but on the proposal of the captain to lock
and secure the hatches, which was done, the precau-
tion was dispensed with. Some change, however,
appears to have occurred in the opinion of the au-
thorities, for the Custom-house officers have been
again placed on board, as if the ordinary course were
not deemed sufficiently secure. We cannot afford an
explanation, but simply give the facts."

REPRESENTATION OF YOUGHAL.
Rumours, which have for some time been rife
respecting a severance of the connection between Mr.
Butt and the constituency of Youghal, have found a
resting place in the cork Examiner, which thus
cautiously touches upon the substantial reasons
which are likely to create a vacancy in the repre-
sentation :

"If the statement which we have received, on
the authority of a gentleman resident in London, is
to be relied on, it is probable that the electors of
Youghal will be called on, ere very long, to make
a new selection. It is said by the gentleman re-
ferred to that Mr. Butt, who has been lately called
to the English bar, has been just appointed Chief
Justice of Ceylon. We do not in any way commit
ourselves to this statement ; we simply say that it
was sent to us this day, by the father of the writer
of the letter; and that, from our knowledge of the
writer, his high personal character, and his means
of information, it is quite probable that what he
states may be correct. At any rate, we think it our
duty to give the statement publicity, were it only
to prepare our friends in Youghal for a contingency
which, whenever it arises, must deeply affect their
interests."

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1860

of men. In domestic and social life she found the
English very admirable and praiseworthy. The
love of money, however, was great. The Scotchman
would love his bonnie lassie, because she was bon-
nie. The Irishman would love his lass for her
beauty and accomplishments. But John Bull would
rather love her if she had gold in her purse and
lands for her dower. Observation had shown her
everywhere that money inspired affection. The
gentry and nobility of England for the most part
practised the most refined and the most wicked arts
of gallantry. To win the affections of a young
and artless girl and leave her to misery, was a
matter of boasting at their clubs. At some watering
place the villain would begin his campaign. The
poor girl would be flattered by what my lord would
say. She has read in novels of condescension on the
part of the high-born to love such as herself, and
she expected to become a great lady. In this way
she became an easy victim. These things were the
fashionable amusements of the wealthy in England.
In fact it was a common pastime with them. She
had seen in New York papers advertisements for
wives, which she regarded as nets only set to catch
some foolish girl. To see the reign of the mighty
god Cupid in all his greatness and glory, they should
visit a winter watering place in England, where
liver-diseased people, as yellow as their guineas,
went to recruit their health. Here daughters, espe-
cially such as were somewhatpassee, were bargained
off to the old gents who had returned from the
Indies with gold and disease. John Bull at home in
England, and Brother Jonathan at home in New
England, were the same beings modified by local
changes. The only difference was in the external
drapery of character. The fondness of the people
here for nicknacks existed also in England. The
woman's rights agitation was also prodigiously
English. It had existed in England more than 50
years ago, and many men had figured in the move-
ment then, as that smart old lady, Wendell Phillips,
was ambitious of figuring now. John Bull at home
was a pretty clever fellow, in the Yankee sense of
the term, fond of beef and sherry, and very agree-
able when he was disposed to be so. The people of
England were generally free hal that prejudice
concerning this country which the writings of
Dickens and others like him would be supposed to
convey. While she had been in England she was
not unjustly accused of abusing Americans, because
she said that states were permitted to interfere with
the rights of cities. (Applause.) Such a thing was
not known in Europe. The Lord Mayor of London
was as important in his city as the Queen. The
stories of ignorance in the rural districts of Eng-
land were as false as the tear-starting tales of the
horrors of slavery in the South of the United
States. England and America, she thought, were fast
becoming more and more united. If Americans
would visit England, and Englishmen America
more frequently, less discontent and rivalry and
greater harmony would exist.
The lecture was concluded at about half-past 9
o'clock, and the audience departed seemingly well
pleased with their entertainment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 3.

MANSION-HOUSE. Michael Loftus, a tall,
stalwart young fellow, whose features were well
bronzed from exposure to an Indian sun, and who
was described as a discharged soldier from the Ben-
gal Artillery, was charged with being drunk and
damaging a gas branch at the Vine Inn, Minories.
Mr. Ogle, landlord of the Vine, said the prisoner
went there the night before, accompanied by two
other men and a woman, the former being, as he
said, his friends, and the latter his sister. The
others were sober, but the prisoner was not so,
and, after staying a little while, he became obstre-
perous, and created a great disturbance, upon which
his friends and sister went away and left him there.
Witness followed, and asked them to take the pri-
soner away with them, but they would not go back
to the house, and when witness returned he found
the prisoner still acting with great violence, and
consequently requested him to leave. This he re-
fused to do, and, catching hold of a gas branch
over the bar, he swung himself upon it till he
pulled it down, after which he attempted to wrest
the beer engine from its fastenings, and, finally,
leaning on the bar, he clutched witness by the col-
lar and attempted to drag him over, at the same
time swearing that he would murder him.

The Lord Mayor—Well, he must pay ss. for the
damage or go to prison for seven days, and I hope
he is the last discharged Indian soldier I shall have
before me.

The prisoner paid the money (which Mr. Ogle
handed over to the poor-box) and was discharged.

GUILDHALL—Mr. Riley and his son Charles
were charged under the following circumstances:—
The evidence in this case went to show that Mrs.
Cole, the complainant, whose husband kept the
Rose Inn, in the Old Bailey, was in the bar parlour
when the defendants came in with a couple of
labouring men, and by direction of the elder defen-
dant, the two labourers, with considerable•violence,
turned her out of the house, while the younger de-
fendant thrust her daughter out at the back door
with such force that she fell and dislocated her
shoulder.

Sir R. W. Carden said it was quite clear an as-
sault had been committed, but it was under such
circumstances that he should be obliged to send it
to the sessions to be disposed of. He therefore re-
commended an amicable arrangement, and ad-
journed the case for that purpose.
John Mitchell was charged with assaulting seve-
ral women with a hammer.
Police-constable 219 said he saw the prisoner
rushing out of Fan n-street about 11 o'clock at night,
crying " Murder !" and several persons in pursuit,
calling out " Stop him." He took the prisoner back
to No. 7, Fann-street, where he found a woman
bleeding very much from a severe wound on the
head, which he was informed had been inflicted by
the prisoner with a hammer, which one of the per-
sons who followed the prisoner gave up to witness.
The wounded woman, whose name was Mary Ann
Rogers, was then taken to the hospital, and it was
not likely she would be able to leave for some time.
Sir R. W. Carden said it was a very serious as-
sault, and he therefore remanded the prisoner.

BOW-STREET —Mr. Jardine has received the
following letter, which he handed to the reporter in
the hope that it might afford a timely caution to
working men out of employment, who, in their na-
tural and laudable desire to get into work, are apt
to become the dupes of designing persons, and thus
to be deprived of what slender resources they may
have. The writer gives his address :
"Clapham, Jan. 3.
" Worshipful Sir—Being out of regular employment, I
answered an advertisement in the _Daily Telegraph of Thurs-
day last for 'industrious young men,' who were directed
to apply by letter to Messrs. Brown and Co.,
receiving the
Newsrooms,
76, Strand. You may judge; my surprise on
enclosed letter in answer, requiring 2s. in postage stamps,
to be remitted before any information is given as to who are
the parties, or what is the nature of the situation offered. I
believe it to be nothing more than an attempt at swindling
small sums of money from the unfortunate poor who are out
of employ. This consideration induces me to trouble you,
believing that if publicity is given to the matter, through
the press, it will be the means of putting many a young,
man upon his guard.—l remain, worshipful sir, your obe-
dient servant. " W. J. WEBB."
The enclosure above alluded to, was addressed to
" Mr. William James Webb," at the address stated
in the letter. It was as follows :

76, Strand, Dec. 31, 185).
" Sir,—l shall exact.for the advice and information which
I shall give, which is founded upon experience, the remit-
tance of 2s, in postage stamps. Reply to Messrs. Brown
and Co., 76, Strand."
Mr. Jardine observed that the only way of meet-
ing such systems of imposture was that suggested
by the writer—publicity. It was vain to think
of criminal proceedings unless there was either a
false pretence or a conspiracy. There was clearly
nothing in the letter that amounted to an assertion
of fact, consequently no false pretence could be
alleged. If several persons were engaged in it, then
it would be a conspiracy to defraud ; but most fre-
quently these things were carried on by one person
alone, which was probably the case in this instance,
and if so there could be no conspiracy. But pro-
bably the publication of the letter and enclosure
might induce many a poor man who was eager to
get employment to hesitate before he handed over
his last 2s. to a correspondent, of whose real name,
-address, and occupation he was kept in profound
ignorance.

WESTMINSTER.—WiIIiam Burdett and Wm,
Perry, described as well known " cracksmen," were
finally examined, charged with entering the dwell-
ing-house of Mr. G. Langley, 38, Halsey-street,
Chelsea, and stealing a quantity. of miscellaneous
property.
The prisoners were committed for trial.
A communication was received yesterday morn-
ing from Mr. Paynter, stating that he was much
better, and hoped to be well enough in a day or two
to resume his usual magisterial duties. It is there•
fore probable that the Hon. Hugh Rowley's case
will be brought on without delay.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Emma Laing, a neatly-
dressed young woman, of about 18, was charged
with wilfully uttering a forgery.
Samuel Robinson, barman at a tavern in High-
street, Shoreditch, said—The prisoner entered our
wholesale department at eight o'clock last night,
and presented me a note., stating—

"Sir,—Please to let the bearer have half a gallon of the
best old brown brandy.—Yours, IL BROOKE.
"7f, Downham-road, Kingsland "

what the letter specified, and asked her if she would

sequence, and, opening a purse, handed me a £lO
