The Miner and Workman's Advocate. — 1864-04-23 (London, England)

WORKMAN'S ADVOCATE.  LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1861  SUMMARY.  On Saturday morning last Garibaldi visited the large brewery of Messrs. Barclay, Perkins, and Co., at Southwark. The workpeople employed at that establishment determined to make the occasion of this visit in every respect a contrast to that which the Austrian Haynau had there some years ago, and their conduct was on Saturday as warm and enthusiastic as on the former occasion it wan rude and boisterous.  Later in the day Garibaldi went to the Crystal Palace, accompanied by the Duke of Sutherland and the Earl of Shaftesbury, to receive an address from his Italian countrymen now in London. Garibaldi was received at the entrance -to the palace by his countrymen, to whom he spoke in an animated manner in his own language, eulogising the people and the institutions of England, and dwelling upon all the aid that England had given Italy in the cause of the national independence. He was then conducted to luncheon, and afterwards occupied a place in the central transept, when loud and prolonged cheering burst forth from the assembled thousands. The addresses and swords to him and his son Menotti were then presented, after which there was a concert of Italian music, including Garibaldi's Hymn. Garibaldi paid a visit to the Crystal Palace on Monday, where about 60 addresses were presented to him, and where 30,000 of the middle and working .classes were assembled to see him. The day was lovely, and Garibaldi had the opportunity of seeing that unequalled building and it' magnificent grounds lighted up with brilliant sunshine which was denied him on Saturday, but the effect of which once seen is never forgotten. The reception of the General by the vast assembly was as enthugastic as on any former occasion. The Lord Mayor presided at a meeting at the Mansion Roust on Monday, when Mr. Cowper and Mr. Tite, M.P., appeared as a deputation from the Shakespeare Committee to urge upon the citizens the desirableness of erecting a znonument to Shakespeare, somewhere in Piccadilly, which should be worthy of Shakes- pest.% worthy of London, and worthy of the art of the nineteenth century. Something less than £3,000 has been subscribed for this great work, and the deputation thought if the citizens  would put their shoulders to the wheel they would raise what was yet wanting. The citizens present appointed a committee. A terrible murder and suicide took place in Leigh-street, Burton-crescent, on Monday morning. A man and his wife, named Pearce, occupied one of the upp9r rooms on the premises of a respectable tradesman, acting as housekeepers to the establishment. As they did not open the shop at the usual time in the morning, alarm was created, and an entrance was effected into their room, when both were found fully dressed, but with their throats cut and quite dead. There is littfe doubt that the man had first murdered his wife and then committed suicide. Jealousy is said to have been the cause of this crime.  A man named Bishop gave himself up to the police in Bath on Saturday, stating that he bad shot his wife in the streets. His story was true, though fortunately the wounds are not likely to be fatal. The rn-an is in custody. It is said that the woman was of a very violent temper, -which compelled a separation after a few months of married life, after which she used to follow him ,about the streets and annoy him till, goaded beyond endurance, he committed the crime for which he is now in custody. A melancholy accident occurred a few days ago at Liverpool. A respectable tradesman there was suffering from a cold in his eye, when be received a prescription from a physician and sent to a druggist in the town to have it made up. The sbopman in his hurry took down a bottle containing strychnine, in mistake for a bottle next it, and the patient, taking the mixture, almost immediately afterwards died in great agony. The druggist's assistant \vas found guilty of manslaughter by the coroner's jury on Saturday. On Saturday the man Clitheroe, who was found guilty of the murder of his paramour at St. Helen's at the last Lincashire assizes, was hanged in front, of the county gaol. Great efforts were made to save him, but the Home Secretary declined in this case to interfere with the course of justice. Clitheroe persiste'd to the last in his story that both he and the woman agreed to commit _suicide, which was successful in her case, but he was saved by the people coming to the house. A woman was found dead in a lane near Sevenoaks on Sunday week, under circumstances which left little doubt that she had been violated and murdered. Since then two labourers in the neighbourhood, who admitted they had been in her company the night before, have been taken into custody, and the magistrates have committed them for trial on the charge of murder.
