Protestant Church in Naples.

--A few days before Victor Emanuel entered Naples, the English community there sent a memorial to Garibaldi, praying him to grant them permission to purchase a site in that city for a Protestant Church. Garibaldi's reply ran thus:

‘ "Grateful for the efficacious and generous sympathy of the English the Dictator thinks that this is a very small return to make for so many services received from them in support of the noble cause of the Italians. Not only is permission granted to erect a church within the limits of the capital to persons who worship the same God as the Italians, but the English are requested to accept as a national gift, the small spot of ground required for the proposed project for which they desire to use it. Garibaldi."
