of the capture Of Gal W..ldi and his voun.

Cialdini, dated from Reggie. Other dis.
patches followed. From these it appears
that Garibaldi's intention was, if possible,
to gain the Tyrol. Colonel Pallavicino,
who commanded the BarsagIieri, knowing
that Garibaldi was at Aspram0nte, resolv7
ed to attack him, and despite the difficult
nature of the ground, he led on bis regiment
of Bersaglieri, which he had reinforced by
two battalions of the line. He divided his
little corps into three columns which as.
cended the hills towards Aspramonte by
three different paths.
Garibaldi was summoned to surrender /;
on his refusal the fight commenced. Naoos
long and Desperate. The volunteers made
resistance which was not 10 be expected
from such young and inexperienced troops.
The number of killed is not great, but there
are more than three hundred wounded on
both sides. GaTibaZd5 receiUed tho a0omads
one through the thigh, the other aa the foot.
Menotti Garibaldi is also wounded. The
position was carried at the point of the bay
onet. AS every issue was guarded, retreat
was impossible, and the result has been the
unconditional surrender of all.
Garibaldi asked leave to embark On board
an English steamer, but Colonel Palavicini
had no powers to decide in the matter He
referred to General Cialdin, who applied
for instructions to the government. 4 coun-

LORD BRoUGHAM ON THE WAR AND INTER.
vENTI0N,
From the London Post. Angus; &c.
On Wednesday Lord Bfougham distrib.
ted the prizes given by Mr.. George Moore,
of London, to The children belonging to the
several schools 10 the rural deanery OF Wig-
ton.
His Lordship, in the course of a brief
address, remarked: We live in times, hap.
PLY for US, peaceful times for our country.
It is not so in other countries. Across the
Atlantic horrible civil war prevail s. Even
in Europe there are doubts and aiarms-~in
:he south of Europe at this hour. Let US
hope that these alarms may be groundless.
A great poet has said as to the duty and
the Office of England-her course is, her de
sire is, BY land and by sea, to
Let bar barous discord cease,
And lull the earth in universal peace.
IApplause.l Unbappily he did not live to
see the day when we are imploring people
to put an end to their civil war-their cru
ell, their unjust, their unnecessary and cruel
civil war--when it should be reckoned
breach of neutrality in US to interfere with
that war. l have heard people of late
thoughtless'y, and am quite sure unwisely,
recommend that this civil war should be put
stop to by US, by taking part SO far as
to recognize one of the contendng parties
But believe that Our recognition Of the
South in that odiou5 and horrible quarrel
would only make it worse. Cheers Il
would continue instead of putting stop to
it. Absolute neutrality, non intervention
in every sense of the word, is not only Sc
curity for our own comfort and our own
peace but it is the best possible contribu~
ton we can make towards putting q stop
to that odious quarrel. Ours is mixed
government, with the crown, the aristocracy,
aud the common people. 1t is this mixed

and which is now the admiration of some
countries and the envy CT others cheers1
and which we have reason now more than
ever to praise exceedingly. l mean when
we see the consequences, the frightful con-
sequences that have happened elsewhere
I won't name where laughter lest l
should be thought to be insulting any other
country; but when we see that certain coun,
tries which have pure form, or pretend to
have pure form, of republican government
are plunged into such deep and almost un>
fathomable distress. Applause.
LONDON TIMES ON JEFF. DAVIS.
The London Times, in an editorial on the
message of JEFF. Davis, says it cannot deny
him the credit of being as moderate in PROS
perity as he has shown himself bold, deter
mined and unyieldiDg in adversely. The
Times then adds We read with much
pleasure the measured and statesman like
language in which the Southern President
pays well earned tribute to the gallant
and good conduct of his troops. 1t de-
plores the desolating war. and expresses
confidence of the final triumph of the des
perate struggle against despotic usurpation.
After painting the horrors that may be ex-
pected from president Davis threatened re.
taliation measures, to the exigencies which
require an extension of the CONSUMPTION,
and to the dangers which the South runs if
they fail to concilate the Indians on their
frontier, the Times article concludes as fol-
lows: Yet, in such a situation, they are
able to speak and act with moderation and
dignity. In the midst of reverses they can
look forward with confidence to success in
the midst of success they can contemplate
and look forward to the possibility of loss
and failures. Such men would seem worthy
of better destiny than to be dragged at
the chariot wheels Of conquering democra-
cy, and live under perpetual reign of ter
rOr.
