GENERAL GARIBALDI IN THE PROVINCE& —TIIN requisition to Garibaldi inviting him ti visit Leeds has received 3,670 signatures, but of course no visit from the illustrious patriot =a now be looked for. Great ma may be the disappointment to our townsmen, we are sure no one would wish to gratify his desire to lee and do homage to the brave and noble-hearted hero at so great a cost as danger to his valuable life.—Leeds Nercurv.— Universal regret is felt in Liverpool that Garibaldi's health has suffered so much under the exciting and almost tumultuous demonstrations of which he has been the sub ject since his arrival in England. that his visit to Liverpool and other towns in the north will have to be abandoned. Great preparatioes were afoot for the reception, and all classes were looking forward to his visit with enthusiasm, and with the affection which greets only an old friend. — At a meeting of the Bradford town council yesterday after noon, an address of congratulation to General Garibaldi on the occasion of his visit to England, was adopted. and also another address, urging the general, on behalf of the txlr poration, to accept the invitation, which has been already forwarded to him, to visit Bradford. Several gentlemen expressed their regret to hear that the health of the general was impaired, and said that in that case they would not wish him to go from town to 404F0. Mane', f,ter Exam, ner.

THE CONTINESTAL regard to the continental traffic for the coming summer it appears that the South Eastern Railway Company, in conjunction with the Northern of France, will resume for the season the special express daily tidal service between London and Paris, rid Folkestone and Boulogne, from and after the let of May. The at rangements for the convenience of gismo gers by these services will be more complete than in pre. vious years, owing to the improvement afforded by the recent opening of the new West-end station at Charing cross, to and from which the special trains will run this year, still, however, calling at the London-bridge sta tion. By the use of these two stations passengers, whether to or from the West-end or to or from the City, will be enabled to avail themselves of the special tidal serviees The direct registry of luggage will be made both at Charing-vacs and Londoe.bridge stations ; bat for regis tered luggage arriving from .the Continent the enstome examination will be made at Chariest cross when the luggage is registered to that station, and at Folkestone when the luggage is registered to London-bridge, the cus toms' srrangeroente having hems tionsferred from London bridge to Chariog-cross. At the same time, the South. Eastern Railway Company, who bold the Pcsboffice con tract for the isouveyance of the cootinental mails, ries Dover and Calais, will adopt precisely similar amalgamate as regards pas engers and luggage by the mail trains by the Dover and Ostend and Dover and Calais fixed daily mail services.
