Garibaldi’s Divorce Suit.

London Telegraph. Garibaldi’s suit for a divorce from his wife, the Confess* Riamondi, has been for some time past a leading topic of conversation in Italian society. Comparatively little has been said or written about it in England, where the Liberator is still held in such sincere respects that it is deemed desirable to avoid calling public attention too presistently to his family misfortunes. But certain curious details have recently come to light respecting Luigi Caroli, Signorina Raimoira’s flrstlover, who carried off the general’s young bird on the very day of her marriage, which are sufficiently interesting in themselves to merit reproduction. Unable to remain in Italy after having brought disgrace upon his kind friend and chief, Caroli. fled to Poland with Nullo, and joined the insurgents under L&ngiewiez. During the first encounter that took place between the “National Army” and the Russian forces, after Caroli and Nullo had entered the insurrectionary camp, Nullo was killed and Carol! was takeu Erisoner. Tried for his life at Warsaw, e was sentenced to perpetual banishment in Siberia. As soon as the melancholy news of his sentence reached Bergamo, his native place, his sister, the Countess Agfiardi, hastened to St. Petersburg, where she obtained audience of the Czar, threw herself at his majesty’s feet, and besought him to pardon her unfortunate brother. Her prayer was granted, and a written order to set Caroli at liberty was given into her own hands by the Emperor, with permission to convey it in person to the place of CarolFs exile. She at once started for Siberia, and traveled day and night until she reached the district in which her brother was interned, only, however, to find that he had died a few days before her arrival. Caroli’s son, whom Garibaldi refuses to recognize, is now living in Como with his mother, who has assumed the title of Marchesa R&imoudi. As the Italian law actually stands, this is the only heir to the General’s pension,granted him for two lives,all his own undoubted offspring being illegitimate.
