GARIBALDI.-Among the passengers by the
Prometheus yesterday afternoon was General
Garibaldi, the distinguished Italian patriot and
exile, who goes out in company with a CONNER
cial friend to establish himself in California.
During the past winter Garibaldi has been re-
siding on Staten Island, engaged in the bust
ness of making candles, in company with a
fellow-countryman. His share of the work con-
sisted in preparing the wicks to be dipped. In
this humble occupation he has earned enough
to support himself comfortably since his arrival
in this country. His modesty, simplicity, and
thorough integrity Of character, are no less
eminent than his pure patriotism and his un-
finching bravery. Success to him in the new
path he has chosen.-N. T. Tribune.

dained to the Office of Deacon by the New Eng.
land Conference on Sunday last, we notice the
name of the Rev. Robert j. Lawrenson This
young man is native of and learned his trade
in Baltimore. Between four and five years
since he was regularly licensed as local
preacher, and we are pleased to find that his
fidelity and usefulness has been such as to en-
title him to higher position in the large and
respectable body of Christians to which he is
attached.--Sun Of this morning.
Mr. Lawrenson is well and favorably known
in this community. When toiling as worthy
mechanic at our Maynard, he frequently
preached in a most acceptable manner in the
churches of this city

ScoTT MEETING IN PITTsBURG.-On Thurs
day last, the Gazette says, large and respecta-
bic meeting of the friends of General Winfield
Scott was held in the supreme courtroom,
General Marks presiding. The speakers were
Messrs. Darrah, Darsie, and Bingham, and re-
solutions were adopted approving of the nomi-
nation of General Scott by the Wing members
of the State Legislature, and pledging Ale
gheny county to give him jealous support,
They resolved to hold Scott mass meeting
on the twentieth of August, at Pittsburg, in
viting twenty-four counties to participate.
They resolved, that with Scott for the candi-
date in 1852, they would 90 into the campaign
with a confidence that inspires hope-a zeal
that wins victory.

CuBA.-The vessels Of the Home Squadron
on the lookout, are the Saranac, the Albany,
and the Decatur-not the Germantown, which
is on her way to the East India station.
The Susquehanna remains in readiness at
Norfolk, till the matter blows over, in case her
services might be required.
The Charleston Courier, in noticing the news
by the steamer Isabel, states that the editors OF
that paper are informed by gentleman from
the Island, and one who has been travelling
much of late, that all over the Island the most
anxious desire is manifested for tire invasion of
the Island by the Americans; and probably the
people were never so ardent and eager to rise
en- masse and join the invaders as at the present
moment.

FROM LIBERIA.

We learn by late intelligence from Monrovia,
that the scheme for the cultivation Of cotton in
Liberia will probably succeed, even beyond ex-
pectation, and that large quantities will one day
be exported from that region. The following
letter is from one Of the emigrants sent out to
the Republic in the bark Edgar, by the New
York State Colonization Society:
"BExLEY, LIBERIA, Jan. 20, 1851.
"To The Rev. John b. Pinney---Dear Sir:
write to inform you Of our safe arrival on the
shores Of Africa. Our passage was long and
tedious. / like the country much, particularly
the section on which am located. | consider
the Bassa country the best in Liberia, at least
so far as have seen. In my opinion it is des-
tined to be q great place. | am sorry to see
such spirit of opposition among the colored
people of the United States in reference to COM
ing here.
"All the disadvantage that Liberia labors un-
der at present, SO far as / can see, is the want
of good, enterprising, industrious men. The
very men who are now beating their brains out
for the benefit Of their oppressors are the very
ones whom want to see here. May they learn
wisdom, and come. Yours, respectfully,
"HENRY M. WEST"
large number Of emigrants are expected to
60 out In the Liberia packet from Baltimore
about the first of June. Virginia will probably
send one hundred and fifty, and the whole party
are intended to form the new settlement spring
ing up at Bassa Cove. They will carry out
with them steam engine.

M.vn. There was drizzling rain when
.ho s,,n ,oaa this morning, and the air was as
.o,d - . stepmother's breath. Thousands OF
IT'LL and great folks looked out in sorrow, and
sighed for the blighted prospects of joyous
First of May. But the hours soon passed, and
when we again looked out, the sun and the
military were parading in glory; the former to
warm and cheer all creatures beneath his ex-
allied pathway, and the latter to shoot at their
targets.
The National Greys preceded by the Marine
Band, and succeeded by a circular board, with
white and black rings upon it, presented hand
some appearance as they marched up the ave-

We have not seen the other companies, but
learn that the Light Infantry are to contend for

We learn also that the Sharp Shooters, with
their own band, made noble appearance this
morning, the target following in their rear
also.
The orphan children and the pupils of st.
Vincent's School, under the control Of the Sis

Immense.

SHORT DREssEs-It appears to be a fact that
a serious attempt is being made at Syracuse,
New York, to lead the way in the new style of
female apparel, which we would be very glad to
see prevail. A lady writes to the New York
Tribune that many of its readers would be CRATE
full for particular description Of these dresses,
the manner in which they are made, &c., as
g some of US will no doubt soon follow the ex-
ample of our Syracuse sisters, in adopting
dress more consistent with reason and nature
than that now imposed upon us by that tyrant
fashion" The editor replies that he under
stands the dress to consist of full Turkish trow-
sers, fastened at the ankles, and skirts coming
down a trifle below the knees. The waist is
made loose and according to the taste of the
wearer The lady editor of paper at Seneca
Falls and several ladies at Syracuse lately
adopted the style, which they claim as far
preferable to the street-wiping skirts now in
vogue. A daughter of distinguished phi
lanthropist in the central part of that State
has also adopted this new fashion, and on
late occasion appeared in public in such dress,
made of the most costly materials. The edi-
tors of the Syracuse journals speak glowing
ly of the beauty and effect of this novel innova-
ton. But after ALL the fashion plates from Paris
do not give the pattern for such costume!
