ing his stay here his accounts of his captivity have,
of course, excited the greatest interest. He has
brought some tidings calculated to lessen the
pain of the friends of at least one of the victims
of Chinese brutality. Mr. Bowlby appears, from
the reports of the surviving Sowars who
were with him, to have become delirious, proba-
bly from the effects of exposure to the sun, on
the second day of his captivity. He is likely, there-
fore, to have been in a great degree uncon-
scious of suffering for the two days that elapsed
between the appearance of delirium and his death.
During the whole period of their captivity, after as
before they were allowed to be together, Mr. P irks s
and Mr. Loch were in momentary expectation of
death. They knew, through the information of
Hangki, that their fate hung on the issue of a
struggle between the more violent and the more
conciliatory party in Prince Kung's Council, and
Hangki, though himself belonging to the moderate
pa section,

imminent peril to life under which these two per-
sons spent the dreary period of their captivity ren-
ders more admirable the firmness with which they
declined to allow their safety to be used as a means
of influencing the actions of the Allies. Hangki
often repeated to them that, independently of a
probability of a sentence of death by the majority
of the Council, they were sure to be massacred by
the guard, if the Allies fired a shot in anger against
Pekin. It was with no very pleasant feeling, there-
fore, that on the day before their release they sud-
denly heard the sound of cannon. They were hap-
pily very soon relieved from the painful anxiety
thus created by one of the officers of their guard,
who brought the news that the English were firing
guns with nothing in them. They subsequently
learned that the guns which they heard were a
salute, or rather signal, fired by Sir Hope Grant, if
I am correctly informed, on taking up new head-
quarters. lam told that this salute would, in re-
gular course, have been fired during the night, but
that Lord Elgin, hearing the General's intention,
got out of his bed, and put himself into instant
communication with the Commander-in-Chief,
pointing out the danger that might be caused to
the prisoners by firing at so unusual an hour, all
the pore as the sounds heard in the dark would be
so liable to misunderstanding, and so likely, to
create panic among the Chinese. It was the im-
pression, both of Mr. Parkes and his companion,
that if these guns had been fired during the night,
as originally intended, they would both have been
massacred by the soldiers placed in charge of them

j:iaC 41) QTAMPED, si;

AN IN2ERVIEW WITH GARIBALDI.

The following letter from Mr. John McAdam, of
Glasgow, to his brother, is published in the North
British Mail:—

" Madalens, Jan, 3..
" On the 26th of December I left Genoa for
Caprera. All went well until the afternoon, when
the wind shifted and threatened a gale. We made
for the Gulf of Spezzia, about 60 miles from Genoa,
where we lay 44 hours, during which I had ample
time to see the general features of the country,
which is hilly, .producing good wines and olives.
Some lead is smelted ; but one important branch of
trade is pursued by our townsmen, Messrs. Hen-
derson, who ship large quantities of fine white
marble to Leghorn, thence to Britain.
" Madalena—the point nearest the island of Cap-
rera—is a very small seaport town. In 1804 Nelson
made this his centre of observation, because it com-
mands the Mediterranean, as it has many channels
of exit. Possibly this may have influenced Gari-
baldi in his choice. Be this as it may, it is now
fortunate ; for when his hour comes he can go in
any kind. ofir weather, and without observation,
where duty calls. Taking boat, in little more than
an hour I reached the general's home, which is
square, of one story, and having a little watch tower
in the centre. The rooms are nearly 20 feet high.
in the ceiling, and must be well adapted for a summer
residence. The island itself I would think rather
more than two miles long by one in breadth, and is
more broken and rocky than any spot I have seen
in Scotland or America. The soil, however, where
it has washed together in distant spots, is fertile,
and situated as it is in view of the snow-clad hills
of Corsica, and the lower, but equally rocky, Sar-
dinia and smaller islands, I cannot under-
stand the feeling of one who has, during an active
life, been buffeted through the world, wishing to
end his days in this retirement.
"As the domestic matters of such a man should
be private, no matter how publicly his public cha-
racter should be considered, so ought one to be
careful in speaking of one so frank and unsuspect-
ing in all his dealings.

I found this truly great man surrounded by his
own family, his brother, a frank, hardy sea captain,
and a few friends, discussing freely the incidents
of the times, on which cunninger, possibly not
wiser, men would have affected mystery.

" I was welcomed by Garibaldi in a manner which
becomes a great man, and puts a plain man like
myself at ease. He did honour to the good men who
had sent me on this mission, when he placed me at
every meal next himself, and pointed out my bed
as one of the two in his own room. I acceptedthis
honour proudly and gratefully—pride in the coun-
try of which Garibaldi could not speak too often,
for the moral aid, even more than the material as-
sistance, which it had rendered to Italy ; and with
gratitude to my countrymen who had sent me with
their assurance of their abiding interest in him and
his country in the coming crisis.
" Seeing that he was deeply engaged with his
immense monthly receipt of letters, I left him with
his two secretaries, to take a quiet survey of his
island home. And as you are aware of the appre-
hension entertained in Britain as to any sudden
attack on him, I scrambled up the highest dividing
ridges to see whether facilities existed for his ene-
mies from the opposite coast. The people herelaugh
at the idea of any body of men being found daring
enough to attack him in front, and by any other
way it would take a body of men hours to work
their way, even in daylight, over the granite rocks,
which, sea-worn and honey-combed to their very
summits, are evidently of volcanic origin.

" During the day the general was very much
engaged, but• towards evening he mixed with his
friends, and conversed freely ; and when by our-
selves- in his own room, feeding the fire with
roots—his only fuel—he spoke feelingly and
warmly of the British people, and of the stand made
by Lord John Russell in favour of Italy.
After supper more writing, then to bed, where
for hours he sat dictating to his two secretaries. I

dropt over to sleep, and when I awakened all was
quiet ; bat some hours before day he was at work
with them again, and so continued until two hours
after daybreak. I mention this mainly to explain
how much he has to do, and to excuse him for any
disappointment to his correspondents.
" Being anxious to scrape acquaintance with Pio
Nono, and to redeem a promise I had made to a
friend, I found the celebrated little gentleman
scratching his long ears ; but when I looked at his
other end I could not find it in my'heart to extract
a single.hair. Poor little fellow, he is but a small
donkey for so world-wide a name ; and Tam
O'Shanter's mare Meg brought her rider safely over
the Brig o'Doon with as much of a tail to swear by.
His, or rather her brother ass was not there ;
possibly, as the English in Naples have named him
Lord Robt, Montagu, he may have gone to England
on a visit to his name-father, to obtain the usual
candle cup given at christenings.
" Senora Teresa, the general's daughter, is a
very pleasant and unaffected young lady, but she
speaks no English, neither does her brother
Mennoti ; he is taller than his father, has very
much the look of a fine young sailor in his red shirt,
and bronze, not dark complexion ; he bids fair to
be a very strong man, is now twenty years of
age, and you are aware has already distinguished
himself in the late campaigns. Nothing pleased
me more than his modesty and self-possession
in the various circumstances which I saw him
placed in among his Zather's friends, both at home
and elsewhere. When I left the general he bade
me assure my friends that he trusted in better times
to come among them, and thank them for what they
had done for his country ; and to thank Joseph
Cowen and the men of Newcastle for his sword and
the telescope, which he has used through all his
battles. I will reserve his remarks on the present
circumstances of Europe for the consideration of the
committee for whom I am acting ; suffice it for the
public, that he is anxious, but hopeful. And it is
to be hoped that the British friends of the great
man, who must assist him in the coming struggle,
will forego little differences of opinion, and fight
shoulder to shoulder, for all will be needed in the
coming death struggle of European despotism.
When I get back I may recur to many things, of
which I am unwilling to speak until I can consult
with the London and Glasgow committees.
" At Madalena I received an invitation to dine
with one of our English Alexander Selkirks, who
turn up on many of the islands of the Mediter-
ranean. Captain Roberts is a retired naval officer,
and is, in fact, the great support of the little com-
munity. When a young man he must have been
a lively one, for even now, in old age and bad
health, he is a brisk old tar; and, better still, he is
a great friend of Garibaldi and Italian freedom.
" I learn that the Glasgow portion of the Legion,
and the other portions for whom I left things and
money at Naples, have not yet left ; but it is to be
hoped that they will soon return to their own
country.—l am affectionately yours,
you_v M'ADAM."

The foreman of the Albert-street 'Mill, Halifax,
who was injured by the explosion of the boiler on Monday,
died in consequence of his wounds, and the inquest was
held on Tuesday. The verdict which was delivered was
accidental death, and the jury were further of opinion that
the explosion had occurred from the unequal expansion of
the boiler.

Disease.—We read with horror of thousands cut down by
the plague, we shudder at the reports of deaths by yellow
fever, yet in our favoured land pulmonary complaints con-
sign
of temperature, moisture, fogs, and other a proportionate number to the tomb. The sudden
chances
atmo-
spheric impurities are during winter always poisoning the
human frame. In extracting and expelling such noxious
matters lies the merit of Holloway's noble Pills, which
have stood the test of a quarter of a century with steadily
progressing fame. In influenza, catarrh,
colds, asthma,
bronchitis, diptheria, gout, and rheumatism, Holloway's
purifying Pills will accomplish every requisite for recover-
ing health ; and save cases which seemed doomed to ter-
minate fatally.
