The NdttG OF Iurln publishes GarIbaldS
resignation of his seat in the Italian Parlia-
ment. He addresses the following letter to
the President of the Chamber OF Deputies
"CAPRERA, December p, 1869
mons and very honorable President ofthe
Chamber of Deputies, Turin: For reasons
which YOU will learn by the enclosed letter
addressed to my constituents of Naples,
have believed it right TO resign my post of
duty in this Parliament. In the conviction
that the Chamber will accept my resignation
without delay have the honor TO declare
myself. with respect. Mons, and very honor
able President yours q. GARIBALDT."
The letter addressed to the electors of Ma
piles Is as follows
"CAPRERA, Dec. q, 1868
. 70 mn Constituents al Naples:
When l saw two hundred and twenty-nine
deputies of the Italian Parliament confirm by
their vote the sale Of Italian soil, had the
presentiment that | should not long remain in
the assembly OF those men who blindlv tore
asunder the limbs of the country which they
were called TO recOnstitute. However, the
counsels of friends, the hope OF preparatory
events. and an mistaken sentiment of deyo-
ton towards my constituents, kept me at the
post But now when | see succeeding to the
sale of Nice the shame of Sicily, which |
should be proud to cali my second country BY
adoption | feel myself, electors, compelled to
restore TO you a commission which enchalns
my conscience and makes me indirectly the
accomplice of the faults of others. IL Is not
only the affection which | owe TO Sicily, the
courageous initiator of 50 many revolutions,
but the thought that they have wounded in
her the right and the honor, in compromising
the safety of all Italy, which has led me Il
take this resolution. There Is, however
nothing in this which viii prevent me from
| finding myself with the people in arms on the
road to Rome and Venice Adieu.
Yours, u. GARIBALDI.'

DICKENS TWENTY YEARS AGo.-Twenty
years ago Charles Dickens ruled the realm of
fiction We college boys joked III Wellerisms,
and wept over Oliver and little Nell With
a letter from our friend Mrs. NJ, | sought
the young lion in his lair; but he was al the
sea side finishing his famous " American
Notes, that bore so hard on our national salica
and Siatery. On his return he called and in
vited me TO his S0Hct,Ha. 1t was graced with
sketches ard statuettes of Sam W eller Pick
wick, &c, and with fine portrait of one
whose sad domestic history he has told the
outside world quite too much about. How
handsome he was then With the great lus-
trous eyes that you saw yourself in-and the
merry mouth wreathed with laughter-and
the mass of glossy hair. He overhowed in
rapid talk, but shyed off from the least allu-
sion 10 his works. His home then happy
with child music. The frightened little
daughter who came in to give me a kiss be
fore going to school, IS now welded to a son
Of Wilkie Collins, the novelist. Dickens
last words to me were Tell Mrs. NJ,
have not tolqlott7a Tie ddce" If Dickens had
always written with the Bible at his side and
the religion of Wilberforce in his heart, he
might have been the foremost writer on socia
reforms in his day.

THAcKERAY's DEArH-The London Ne,e

THACKERAY'S DEATH.-The London Nesrs
SAYS:
/ appears that, although generally enjoying
good health he was at intervals subject 10
severe spasms of the stomach, which caused
violent retching and nausea, and left him in a
state OF utter prostration often for hours after
the first violence Of the attack had passed
away. On the night Of his death, his mother
who slept overhead, heard him get up and
walk about his ROOM but was not alarmed as
this was a habit with her son when he felt an
attack coming on. In the morning his valet
came into Mr.. ThaekeFay ssbedroom as usual
and saw him lying on his back quite still, with
his arms spread over the coyerlet, but he took
no notice, as he also was accustomed 10 see
his master thus after one Of his stomach at
tacks. He brought some coffee and set it
down beside the bed, aui it was only when he
returned after an interval, and found that the
cup>had not been tasted, that a sudden alarm
seized him, and he discovered that his master
was dead. Mr.. Thackeray had, in fact, been
seized when his mother heard him get up in
the night and walk about the room, and the
/ violence of the attack, it is supposed, brought
! ON the effusion on the brain, which, the
/ oost- morton examination showed was the inn
mediate cause of death.

drew a bowie knife and stabbed M'Glnnls
