GARIBALDI AT SOUTHAMPTON. Glom oc ancIAL azrokna.) SOUTHAILYTON, SUNDAY Ntottr. This morning broke gloomily, and the weather, which up to last night had been bright and clear, was now as dreary, damp, and wretched as the most hypochondriacal could desire. We were in the utmost uncertainty as to the time of Garibaldi's arrival. Indeed, it was during a conversation with well informed people, and at the very moment of one gentleman proving by irrefragable argument that no boat leaving Gib altar at the time specified,oould,by any possibility, reach Southampton before to-morrow (Monday) at mid-day—just as we were severally arranging our plans as to the disposal of our leisure, that Mr. Wilkinson, one of the principal officials of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, rushed in, and demanded "were we ready F' As is not unfre quently the case in this world, that which bad been declared impossible had come to pass, the Ripon was rapidly approaching, and the steam-tug Aid (placed at the disposal of Mr. Seely and some few other gentlemen by Captain Engledue), was now waiting to convey us on board. A hurried drive down to the tidal dock, some few minutes delay, and we are puffing rapidly out of the harbour. Mr. Wilkinson goes with us, and has to exercise some firmness at the moment of starting, for, although there has not been time for the news to spread, there are already more would-be passen gers assembled on the wharf than it is possible to take with us on the boat. Once off, I note that we are a party of some forty or fifty strong, and as we glide rapidly down the Southampton Water, with the low-lying Hampshire coast on the one aide, and the remains of the New Forest on the other, we resolve ourselves into little groups--some point ing out objects of interest on the banks, others con sulting as to the precise form of reception most likely to be acceptable to Garibaldi, and others, again, telling and listening to anecdotes as to his last visit to Southampton-water (about 1856), when he came to purchase a small vessel for Caprera, and was the guest of the father of Miss Jessie White. Over and above Mr. Seely, there are a goodly list of men assembled on board in Garibaldi's honour. Yonder qtands his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, General Eber, Captain Roberts, and Mr. Austin Dolmage, who may be taken as fair representatives of one class of the general's friends. Messrs. Semenza, Serena, Vivanti, and Negretti as mem bers of the Italian committee in London ; Mr. Joseph Cowen, as the chairman of the Newcastle committee which presented Garibaldi with the sword I have already named, and as a close and intimate friend of many years' standing ; Mr. Richardson, as the member of the Common Council who is about to propose the presentation to him of the freedom of the City of London, and as his constant correspondent—may all be quoted as re presenting distinct bodies, each of which enter tains an ardent admiration for the great man we are so soon to see. A cry of "There she is ! coming round by Calshot Castle," and every eye is strained to obtain the first glimpse of the expected boat. After a little hesitation, and one or two miscon ceptions, we all see the masts towering up over the point to the right, and in a few more minutes the Ripon is completely visible. Although a very short time elapsed before we are alongside, a gentleman near me, misled by his impatience, insists that the Ripon is at anchor, and it is only when the foam at her paddle wheels is pointed out to him that he will believe our assertions that we are undergoing no unusual or unwarrantable delays. A few wore minutes, and we are eagerly scanning the faces of the passengers on deck, and one good looking middle aged gentleman, in a white hat, is immensely cheered in mistake for Garibaldi. When his modesty prompts him to retire below (as he does the instant he discovers onr mistake) we look in vain along the line of faces for the grand head with which, either from personal knowledge or through the medium of the print-shops, we are all familiar. "There he is !" "No !" " Yes !" "No !" and our enthusiastic blundering is ended by our being brought up alongside. I was one of the first people on board, and after a few momenta' hesitation as to which way we should turn, in the wilderness of *yaks, Anglo-Indian; lady passengers, invalids, children, and luggage, wherein we find ourselves, we hear that the general in the saloon, and at once proceed thither. Our eager glances fail to find him, and after a hurried gaze up the long green covered tables, and up and down the seats whereon are other ladies and more children, we only succeed in seeing the gentleman whose beard we had already cheered, and who looks as if he thought we were about to repeat our blunder. "The General is in his cabin," says a steward ; and in a moment that cabin is full. The Duke of Suther land, General Eber, and Mr. Seely, are the first to greet him. Mr. Dolmage considerately stands at the dour to prevent any undue crowding ; and the rest of us stand as near to it as we conveniently can, anxiously waiting our turns for intro duction. I hear a full-toned but sweet voice saying, " Better, better, I thank you much," in reply to inquiries as to his foot, some minutes before that voice's owner is visible to me, and it is impossible to avoid envying Mr. tiegretti mid Mr. Joseph Cowen as they are severally invited to greet their old friend. The cabin is IT this time full, and the natural eagerness of those yet outside is gofer unallayed, when by a change of positions I obtain my first glimpse of the general. lie is seated on his couch, with sling cigar -case and courier's bag hung up over head, is shaking hands warmly with "Friend Joseph Cowen," is asking after the good town of Newcastle, and gracefully acknowledging to all around the many kindnesses he has received. It is unpleasant to have to allude to the only hitch during the day. But either through misapprehension of what is due to Garibaldi, or from in difference to the interests Le has at heart, efforts were made to dissuade the general from an.. pting the hospitality of the Mayor of Southanipteu until to-morrow. Mr. Seely, who in the er-1 instance had thought of conveying Gari baldi to Brooke-house by a chartered steamer direct from the Ripon, had cheerfully waived his own proposition, and had acceded to the natural wishes of the mayur and municipality. The Duke of Sutherlaud's invitation to Stafford-house bad been warmly accepted, but still there was a hitch, and as most of the passengers by the tug had not been in troduced, Garibaldi acceded with a cheerful " Better, better so," to a proposition that the question should be discussed in the saloon itself. Leaning on his walking-stick, and limping slightly, be proceeds, accompanied by all of 11.4 to the cushioned seat at the end of the saloon. In truth a kingly looking man, some five feet eight inches in height, he is broadly built, and his presence is pre-eminently commanding ; he has a broad and lofty brow, soft and gentle eyes, which sparkle with humour and playfulness, a full-sized well shaped nose, a massive jaw indicative of power, and a smile which a woman might envy. He wore light and thin tamales, smartly made THE =I/ESS, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1864. patent leather boots, a silver grey gabardine with a scarlet lining or hood, and an embroidered smoking cap, which looked as if it had been worked by some fair admirer. A black silk handkerchief rotmd the neck—of course no collar—and a light crimson ban dana thrown loosely over the shoulders, completed a costume which, for picturesqueness, it would be difficult to equal. The impression produced on me was that I saw before me one who was In strscgth a man, simplicity a child ; and as he gave his cordial and hearty greeting to each new and old friend who pressed forward to clasp him by the hand, it was impossible to avoid the conclusion that we were in the presence of one eminently qualified by nature to sway a nation and secure its sympathies. In repose his countenance is lion-like in its gentle gravity and conscious strength ; when animated, it lights up in a way 1 can only compare to the effect of sunshine upon an already beautiful landscape. He understands Eng lish perfectly, but speaks it with a slightly foreign accent, and it may interest some readers to know that on my shaking hands with him we reciprocated right heartily the peculiar grip only known to Brethren of the mystic tie. Menotti Garibaldi, a finely-built, sailor-like young fellow, of some two and twenty, and Ricci otti, his younger brother, who has been educated in England ; Signor Basso, formerly a supercargo under Garibaldi, now his secretary and, as he is half playfully termed, his "chaplain;' Signor Guerzoni, a member of the advanced Italian party and whilom a fellow-senator of the general's, were all visible at intervals during our stay on board ; while inquiries as to " the mill I helped you to build," and other details connected with life at Caprera, prove that intimate friendships are being renewed upon every aide. But there is a cry for Garibaldi to come on deck, for we are nearing the end of our journey, the crowds are hurrahing on the wharves, and the captain is anxiously waiting to show his honoured guest. Every ship within sight of us has its deck crowded, flags are waving from every mast-head, and all the available space around the dock is filled with cheering, handkerchief-waving, enthusiastic townspeople. The Mayor is soon on the paddlebox by Garibaldi's side, =din a manly earnest speech, delivered with the gesteral's hand in his, eloquently bids him welcome to England, above all welcome to Southampton, and informs him that a carriage is in waiting to convey him to his house. To all this Garibaldi replies " Mayor, I am grateful, I will accept your hospitality." As the General seta foot on land(after warmly thanking Captain Rogers for his courtesy, and charging him with his compliments to the officers of the ship) a fairyoung lady is presented to him, and with a rever ence evidently coming from the heartseizes his hand, and, despite all deprecatory gestures, raises it to her lips. He is next seated in the Mayor's carriage, and driven off amid plaudits on all aides. It is understood that he will remain the guest of the Mayor until to-morrow, that he will then proceed to fulfil his engagement with Mr. Seely (to whom he said in my hearing, "Ah ! you English say time is money," on being hospitably pressed to ex tend his stay) ; and that on Saturday next he will leave the Isle of Wight to become the Duke of Suther land's guest at Stafford-house. The Southampton town council meet at half-past ten to-morrow morning, and walk in procession to the Town Hall, where the address will be presented at 12. The length to which this notice has already gone prevents my entering further into my personal impressions of the great maul have seen. To me it appears that we have now among us one sans pair et sans reproche, and I must content myself with hoping that during the whole of his stay in England Garibaldi may in all contingencies decide as wiselyas he has done to-day ; and throughout his visit be welcomed as heartily, as warmly, and as honestly as by the people of Southampton. To Signor Negretti, one of his countrymen and a valued friend, the general gave a small slip of paper, on which he wrote with a pencil : Cari arnici,—Dosidaro non even di Sopra tutto non imitate del tamulti politico. G. GimAi.Dt Dear Frieedo,—l do not deeheaay political Above all not to excite any agitatinc. During Garibaldi's stay on board the Ripon, all were alike to him, having a kind word and a shake of the hand for every one, his two gallant sons following the example of the father. Garibaldi is said to have assured friends on board that his visit to England was not a political one, but merely to meet the invitation of his numerous friends whom he had long promised to visit. The general stated that his wound at times was painful, but he thought it was mending. On arriving at Gibraltar, at 6 p.m. on the 29th March, the anchor of the steamer was barely dropped before a government steamer steamed alongside, bringing military and naval officers with a letter from Sir William Codrington, the governor of Gibraltar, congratulating the general on his safe arrival, and giving a pressing invitation to visit Gibraltar. This the general declined, owing to the short stay of the Ripon, which had to sail at 8 p.m., so that it was utterly impossible to comply with the kind request of the governor. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE TORY PLOT. (From the Marren .) It is generally understoni: in political circles tbat the torim, aided by the Irish Roman catholic', are to make another attack upon the ministry almost immediately after the meeting of parliameat, in connexion with the Rtansfeld. Martini question ; and that this attack is to be undertaken at the instance of the Fren:h government. The form is to move, if the plan be persevered in, a direct vote of want of confiJeoce. It is further undentood that, should it succeed, the tory aucossiors of the present government will immediately recall the refusal of Earl Russell to take part is the congress proposed by the Preach Emperor, re-open negotiations on that proposition, sod probably sod by acceding to it. Finally, it is understood that they will forthwith reoster into an alliance "offensive sad defensive" with the French Emperor ; and that they will not refuse to follow ham into a war with Germany. The Pekin, one of the gunboats of Captain Sberrard Oeborne's expedition, arrived at Plymouth as Saturday. The new Italian irou-ela , l frigate Re d'ltalia, built at New York, arrived at Gibraltar on the 243 th ult., having performed the pasoags in 21 days.

Yesterday evening the first of the series of special sorrier at Westminster Abbey took place in the presume of an immense congregation, belonging chiefly, as it seemed, to the middle chases the throng being so great that num* ben of persons, unable to obtain even standing room except on the very threshold of the abbey, where it must have been impossible to hear, went away disappointed. The service commenced at seven o'clock, and, with the sermon, occupied about an hour and three-quarters. The arrange ments generally for the accommodation of those assembled were the same as heretofore, and, but for frequent draughts of cold air, which appear inseparable from such buildings, there would have been no lack of adequate com fort. Prayers were read by the Rev. J. Flood Jones, minor canti and/the lessons by the Rev. E. Nepean, canon. The anthem wee the " Hallelujah Chorea," the effect of which, reverberating through the vast interior of the abbey, was marked by grand solemnity. The well kaown Easter Hymn commencing, " Jesus Christ is risen to•day," also formed part of the service. The sermon waa preached by the Dean of Westminster, Dr. Stanley, from the following words in the 14th chapter of St. John's Gospel, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." Every Christian congregation, the preacher said, in commencing, may, from time to time, be well asked this question, "Why are 'we Christmas, what is the value of Christianity to us and to the woesld. and what should we loss if we lost hir Jesus Christ, nothing short of Jesus Christ, and nothing beyond Him; He himself, his mind, his spirit, his living person is the essence of Christianity. Many answers might be given to the question, but he coo fined himself to these three, which Christ himself recorded through hie beloved disciple, became He was " the way," because He was " the truth," because He was " the life." First, He was " the way." 0 for one glimpse of the light which would show them where to turn amid the labyrinth of oontroversy, and in the dark domain of contradictory human opinion ! 0 for a bright, open, straight road, where they could walk aide by side, without being exposed to the piercing bleats of doubt, and hatred, sad scorn sweeping into their faces, and forbidding onward progress I Even of those who had each some peculiar way to show them, all agreed that Christ was the way which next to show own they would most prefer. He was the way through the roads of controversy. Be the ' country ever so bewildered, be the city ever so divided, be the church ever so distracted, them was at least one way which was clear and bright, and that was the way of Jesus Christ. He reeembled OW of those mighty roe& by which the Romans swiped their vast empire, and bound province to provisos and nation to nation. Such a road, such a way —a tea dolorosa, but also a Me oaera ; a via crisis, but also a via funs, • way cemented with blood and watered with tears hot still direct, obvious, all-embracing, the very highway of the world, the very highway to God, was the way of their Saviour Jesus Christ. Throughout the conflicts and divisions of earth had every church known him, and yet He Wormed to none—rather He belonged to ell, by his Spirit, by his work. end by union with Rim. He was the one way along which they could pass with friends and foes alike onwards to their eternal home. He was the way by which God descended to man ; for He was not only the likeessa of what man ought to do, but the likeness also of what God was, He who had known Christ had knewa the Father, his love, his justice, his mercy, his forgiveness, were no lees than those of God. Christ was the truth as well as the way. He was all truth—that is to say,Fle was all truthfulness, all reality, all sincerity. 0 what a word of hope was that to many a vexed spirit, to many an inquiring soul or this generauon. If there were any present who had devoted themselves to science ; if these were any them who were students, in any muse, of science in nature, science in language, seisms in his tory, and science in theology—if there were any in whom truth seemed to be the leading pole star of their lives, be they there, or be they far away from church or abbey, they were conaciously or unconsciously, ' willingly or unwillingly, labouring in the service of Him who is " the truth." As many as loved the truth might come to Him without fear, for He was theirs and they were Hit. They might come to Him, not becsum he taught scientific truths, bet because He was " the truth." He cams into the world that He might bear witness of the truth, and He had declared that if any one knew the truth it should "make him free." These words were the very focus of all true searching. after knowledge. That humility wherewith he entreated us to become as little children, that calm " petiolate " wherewith he bid us to " possess our souls," that " perfect love" which in his true disciples " cast out" all " fear," except the fear of sin—these formed the very atmosphere in which all philosophic study, all scientific research, all sound isquity, lived, and grew, and flourished ; in which every false pretension, every uncharitable judgment, every pious ' fraud, died and vanished away. Let them remember that the eine against which the invectives of Christ's divine indig nation were levelled were not basest error or doubt, but double-minded or worldly selfishness and religious hypo crisy. Those were the evils which He most ab horred. He condemned every artifice, and let it be remembered that every fresh fact painfully and honesty discovered, every old fact truthfully and intelligently explained, was but another awaking of the child of Bethlehem, another stone placed by reverend bands on the cairn of Golgotha, another witness to "the truth as it is in Jams." He was " the way ;" He was "the truth r He was also "the life." Not only was He their example, their teacher, their sacrifice, He was the life, the seal, the spirit, the animating source of yeograr and ad vancement in all things wise and holy among the race of man. He was the seam of all the charitable establishments, of all the good deeds known and neknown, of all the free institutions, pure literature, and true philosophy peculiar to Christian nations ; He was the essence and substance of that light which " lie:teeth every man that cometh into the world." Centuries had rolled away since the words of Christ were uttered, and yet they seemed as though they were jest spoken, so wide was their wisdom, so fresh their charity, so unbounded their novelty, so unexhausted their aspirations. Christ was the life of the world ; let Him be also, at least in some measure, the life of their own homes, the life of their own hearts.

At the outbreak of the rebellion, Broenson's Quarterly Review was almost the only advocate of an anti-slavery po licy among all the catholic journals. The great majority of them were violently opposing every anti-slavery measure of the government, and acting in concert with the ultra-peace faction of the Northern democracy. But the progress of the war has wrought among them several conversions. The Cinrinnati Telegraph, the org►n of Arch bishop Purcell, was the first to come over to the anti-slavery party, and to admit and even to urge the necessity of abolishing slavery throughout the United States. Its example has recently been followed by the Universe, the catholic paper of Philadelphia, hitherto violent democratic and anti-administration sheet. In a late issue, this paper admits that the peace of the republic de mands the abolition of slavery ; th►t the national cut rent in favour of abolition grow, steadily stronger, and has be. come irresistible ; and that it would be aboard to attemptlto oppose it. It therefore gives to the Irish democrats the sensible advice to acce►t cheerfully what they are unable to undo. We note the conversions as signs of the times.— New York Tribune, March 23.

WORSHIP-81BM. _ _ George Parker, 39, described as a bitt;lilayer„ of CmWoe row, Bethnal-gram, was charged Was Mr. Leigh with the (alluring violet assault : Leonard Pogb, usietant to Mr. Frederick Fleck, a broker, and on* of the tax collectors for the Mile-end diatnct, stated that he resided in St. Helen's-plaos, Lower Whiteman,- street, and on the preceding day, between 4 sod 5 o'clock, he accompanied his employer to the hones of the prisoner in Crabtree-row, where he asked him for some Net be wu in &nears, amounting to 11. 10a, and told him he had come to detrain upon his goods if the amount were not paid. He showed him his warrant authorising the distraint, and the prisoner immediately became so violist both in language and action that a polioe-000stabis was obliged to be seat for to protect the witness.

The distress wanset, oil being handed op to the Bench, was found to be signed by the within', although be himself bad put it into execatiou as broker. Oa being asked how this was, the witness explained that he bad signed it as the agent of an elderly gentleman named Brooksom who had estroded him with the whole control of this property, and gives him • full anthoriattiou to collect the rents for him, and act as broker and spot, where osorecary, on his behalf, without any neotesity of consulting the owner whatever ; in fact, the whole collec tion and management of the estate had been left in his hands. He could not jut then produce this authoriaatioo, but it had never been recalled and he had acted opou it without the slightest dispute for the last 16 years. The warrant had certainly not been read to the prisoner ; but that was entirely his own fault, as his violence was so great there was no opportunity to read it, and he perfectly well knew the purpose for which they came. Mr. Leigh bad some doubt whether • general authorisation was strictly applicable in all cases of this kind ; but a bad case of sued% had been dearly established 'visit the pri- ' mar, and be should therefore order the depositions to be taboo, and fully commit him to the sessions for trial.
