VISIT OF GARIBALDI TO THE CHANNEL

VIET.
On Monday morning a telegraphic menage from Mr.
Brum, of Slough, to Admiral Decree, the °Mom in com-
mand of the Channel Fleet, now at anchor at Portland
Roads, was received, announcing that Garibaldi would
arrive at Weymouth by the 2.30 Great Wester tilde
from Bath. This intelligence was quickly made
known over the town' and was also corroborated by
some of the Undo* daily papers, wide stated that
before Garibaldi left our shores be would visit this
town, as be was cashew of paying a visit to the Admiral
of the Channel Fleet for the wpm@ of awing the hoe.
clads. The public, however, after having been so
boated on Friday, were rather dubious on the point;
but in spite of this, cariosity prompted them to repair
to the station to welcome him in mai he should arrive,
and business was almost entirely suspended in order to
allow masters and seesaws to gratify their curiosity by
having a sight of the General Flags Boated gaily in the
breeze from public buildings and private establishments,
whilst the shipping in the harbour and rotunda on the
Pile Pier were gaily decorated. The town was
full of life and excitement, thiamin& of persona being
congregated near the approaches to the station, and in
It. The promised arrival of Garibaldi, notwithstanding
the telegram to the Admiral of the Beet, wee mewed
with the utmost indifference by the railway officials, as
they had bad no intimation on the @abhot of the illus-
trious Wenger being in the train. About a quarter.
pee two, however, a carriage and pair of greys, driven
by • postilion, graved at the ratios, for the purpose
of conveying Garibaldi to the Qom?, whilst another one
followed, in which hie suite were also to be wavered
thither. In addition to thbi, the Trine& gunboat had
been sent by the Admiral to emery the General and
his Maeda on board the Edgar, and tad takes up her
quarters at the estrahoe to the harbour. The Admires
bergs was also Is readiness near the Pile Pier, waiting to
convey the General and his suite from the Quay to the
Traria*. The barge was in command of Flag-Lieet
Cheraw, who, immediately on arriving on the Quay,
proceeded to the station, as the Admiral's roper
mutative to yawns, Garibaldi. When thane prepara-
tions were seen, the public thought there wee a shame
of hie wining. as no one would dare to boas an Admiral,
and the eonaequenea wee, that by the timei the train waa
expiated to arrive, the conooeme of people in and out of
the station wee very WWI. The 41.1.1 wee about a
quarter of an hour behind tim., and this was pet dram

On the way to the Quay the carriaces containing
Garibaldi and his friends ware panned by people on
horse and foot, whihtt balconies and terrace* were
filled with ladies arid gentlemen, the former, I.
many cases, wearing Genieldi jackets, all of whom
appeared most milieus to obtain a glance at the
patriot that has ever lived. The whole of the riehlibose
he was saluted with almost deafening cheers. which on
his arrival at the dere, where he embarked on board
the Admiral's barge for the Trinculo, which had by this
time steamed up the harbour, were renewed with in-
creased energy,moidd which he arrived onboard the gun-
boat, On resole og the decd. be cordially shook hands with
Lieutenant Creagh, the officer in command, as also with
one or two more. The crew, with bats off, were wait-
ing to receive him at the gangway. The Pd. Pier
was crowded with spectators, who cheered most lustily,
whilst a large body of Engineers, who had congregated
an the Nolte, also did the eine. After the General's
friends had arrived on board, the Trixiealo gently
steamed out of the harbour, closely followed by the
Prince steam-yacht, which had a large enember of
Cron board, and thews had • capital view of the
nli'l and his friends. Garibaldi frequently nalsnisw-
lodged the hotness paid him, taking off his hat, snail
waving his hand to the assembled crowds, but this say
tended to increase their enthusiasm, and museums
vociferous cheering.
The evening was most delightful, the see
shining is all its brilliancy, whilst, although the.
sea could not be said to be without a ripple,
still it was very lovely ; in spits of this, however, we
heard it remarked " that Britannia might have
ruled the waves with less violence for the General.*
The harbour was studded with small boats, which kept
by the side of the Trineulo their occupants ocessiosial)y
greeting the General with a hearty cheer, whilst
several of ti.e boat clob's skiffs and galleys esconapanied
the gen boat to its destination. The General appeared
most affable with the oMeers on board the Trilled*,
and appeared to be much engrossed with the Break-
water, which was explained to him by Flag-Lieutenant
Chureher.
