TORONTO, JULY 20.—Last night all the reporters at
the Legislative Assembly withdrew, in consequence
of one of their number being called to the bar of the
House and censured for requesting a member conversing
near the reporters' gallery not to interrupt him. The
whole press has resolved to report no more in that
House.

Garibaldi, the celebrated Italian who so distinguished
himself during the late revolutionary struggles in Italy,
arrived at the quarantine on Tuesday morning in the
ship Waterloo, from Liverpool. It is understood he will
remain on Staten Island until the arrangements fur his
reception in a public manner are perfected.
THE ITUNGARIANS.—Gov. Ujhczy and his party left
Burlington, lowa, on the Ist inst. for their new home in
the prairies of Decatur County, in that state, the point
before selected by him as the future home of himself
and his compatriots. They were plentifully supplied
with teams and the necessary agricultural implements.

THE DEATHS OF GREAT MEN. --
It may be some consolation to the little to know that
their lives are as safe as those of the great, and that on
the bed of sickness there is, perhaps, more probability
that the humble attendance they may have, will often be
more succes,ful than the crowd of doctors who are called .
to the bedside of the great. As a case in point, suppose
a poor man had fallen down and broken his rib. He
would not have been carried into an elegant drawing-
room—he would not have been placed upon a patent hy-
draulic bed—he would not have had all the talent of the -
land surrounding him—but his ribs would have been exa- •
mined, the fracture would have been discovered, and it
may be, his life saved. Not so with Sir Robert Peel
they spared his feelings, and forbore to examine and
find out where he was hurt, so that he literally died
under their hands, without receiving any aid from them,
in respect to the real cause of his death, and without
their even knowing where he was hurt; for they never
found out that a rib was broken till after his death.
Strange comment this upon our confidence in the great
names and a great host of surgeons and doctors. Had it
been a poor man in New York, and he could not bear to be
touched for the pain he suffered, we should have given
him a dose of chloroform, set the fracture at once, and .'
very probably have sent him back to his work in a fort-.
night. There are many similar cases among the great,
perhaps that of General Taylor may be accounted one.
These cases are so numerous, that it would seem almost
better for the rich to wish to be poor, as it certainly is
better for the poor to be contented, and not to wish to
be rich.—New York Herald.

There is nothing wanting to make all rational and
disinterested people in the world of one religion, but that
they should talk together every day.—Eliza Cook's Journal
HORRIFYING EVENT.—An event of a most horri-
fying nature took place in the townland of Kiltyclaugher,
about three miles from Kingstown. A poor man named
James Purvis left home on a begging excursion. A short
time after he was seen returning, when, it would appear,
he had attempted to cross a valley between the leading
road and his house. in which was a meadow of very long
grass. He was very much afflicted with pains, and
walked with two stain. He had got about halt across the
meadow, where he was discovered on Tuesday last. There
was nothing of his remains but the principal bones, the en-
tire flesh and smaller bones being entirely eaten or carried
away. His old hat and shoes and two stars enabled his
wife and daughter to identify him. He could not have
been recognised by his garments, as the doge had torn
them to get at the flesh. The coroner was there; but
it could not be ascertained whether he had died suddenly,
or whether. he Might not have been alive for a day or
two. When the few bones, and hair, and skull were
piled on the tattered garments, the sight was terrific. A
young girl, who came to see him, was so affrighted that
she is afflicted with intervals of aberration of mind ever
'since, laughing. outrageously, and crying most bitterly in
