The Jews' Hospital.

William Smith, police-constable, 201 P, said be took
the prisoner into custody, and a desperate struggle ensued;
the prisoner with a very heavily-loaded stick (produced)
struck him several blows across his baCk and head.
The prisoner was remanded.

The Jews' Hospital, Mile-end, one of the oldest
charitable institutions of the Jews in England,
having been founded in 1807, was established as an
asylum for the aged, and for the education, main-
tenance, and teaching handicrafts to youths of both
sexes. Besides the successful training of several
hundred youths for various handicraft trades, this
charity has the merit of having been the first Jewish
establishment in England which supplied ministers
of religion. Pupil teachers have been instructed in
the highest branches of sacred and secular educa-
tion, in preparation for the pulpit and the school ;
and female pupil teachers, capable of undertaking
the responsible duties of Jewish governesses, are
also in course of training within the establish-
ment. The dilapidated state of the buildings, not
originally intended for their present purposes, in-
duced the committee some few years since to recom-
mend to the general bady of governors and sub-
scribers that a new and more commodious edifice be
erected. For this purpose Mr. Henry Moss offered
to present .the institution with ten acres of land ;
the site, however, having been found incon-
venient, was not accepted. Mr. and Mrs. Bar-
nett Meyers then presented the institution with
eight acres of land at Lower Norwood, the site of
the present building. The numbers at present
receiving the benefits of the institution—are 12
old men and women, 33 girls in the school, and
89 boys, of whom 20 are apprenticed to various
trades, while other former inmates, having com-
pleted their apprenticeship, are now working as
journeymen. The annual dinner was held last
evening at the London Tavern, Mr. Julian
Golds;mid, M.P., in the chair, the com-
pany present including many of the chief
members of the Jewish community. The chair-
man, in proposing the toast of the evening, dwelt
upon the exceptional character of the institution in
providing at once for the support of the young and
the aged. He appealed to those present for assist-
ance in liquidating the debt, which amounted to
nearly £B,OOO, and which had been incurred in a
benevolent zeal, with which the liberality of the
public had not, unfortunately, kept pace. He re-
gretted that the liabilities which had been incurred
would necessitate the selling of some portion of the
stock standing in the name of the institution, and
possibly in the reduction of the number of inmates,
and he expressed a hope that the Jewish community
would prevent the necessity of adopting either
course. Subscriptions to between £1,300 and
£1,400 were handed in to the treasurer during the
course of the evening.

ceeding. His lordship ordered the discharge on payment

GENERAL GARIBALDL—A private letter from San
Fiorano, near Codogno, states that Gen. Garibaldi
still sojourns there, as the guest of the Marquis Pallavi-
duo, in the company of his eldest son Menotti, his daugh-
ter Theresa, and a few friends. The general passes the
greater part of the day in the gardens, and his health is
hourly improving. Deputations from all parts of the coun-
try wait upon him, the volunteers of Codogno having
lately presented him with an address, in which they de-
clare their willingness to " expel from Rome the wolves
that infest the Campidoglio," and say that they recognise
in him " the liberator of Sicily and Naples, the new Cin-
ciunatus, the achiever of the unity of Italy." In his reply
Garibaldi said that young Italians should always have in
their remembrance those martyrs of liberty who have
preceded them, and without whose example, their words
and their actions, we should never have learnt that
it is better to die the death of the free than to live the
life of the enslaved. The general proceeded to say, " I
have been most fortunate in many circumstances of my life,
but not in all ; for instance, in 1849, after I had fought for
Italian land at Rome and San Martino, unsuccessfully, be-
cause of the apathy and indifference of the population in
those days, I embarked with a few companions in 13 small
boats, my own being the smallest. Nine out of these 13
boats wore taken by the Austrians after a furious cannon-
ade. A Roman exile, Clrcruacchio, and his two youthful
sons landed with myself and my dying wife. 1 sought to
hide my precious burthen from the Austrians, whose
barbarity I well knew ; they were close upon us—and
wei took refuge in a field of Indian corn. Though the
soldiers surrounded us on every side Viey did not dis-
cover us ; but they captured C:rcruacchio, his two sons,
and seven companions, and, having ordered a party of
countrymen to dig nine graves, the Austrians shot and
buried their prisoners, afterwards killing the younger son
of Circruacchio, a child of thirteen, with the butt ends of
their muskets. Ugo Rossi and a Milanese-inamod Sivraght
were afterwards arrested and shot at Bologna. Foreigners
must never again tread this garden of Italy ; and there-
, tore I reoommeucl to all classes the an of the rifle."
