THE GARIBALDI RECEPTION.

Both the sub-committees of the City and Work.
ing Men's Committees have been sitting during the
whole of this morning, and have been completely
overwhelmed with applications for tickets, and from
societies of working men, desiring to take part in
the processions. The Foresters, Odd Fellows, and
Old Friends will muster in great force, and are ex•
pected to make a grand display with their
banners and regalia. The bands will also
be numerous, and almost the whole of them Live
volunteered their services free from expense.
The office of the working men's committee iu
Bolt-court, Fleet-street, will be kept open until a
late hour this day to receive applications for
tickets.

BROOK-HOUSE, ISLE OF WIGHT,
FRIDAY Arruscoos.

Perhaps the most gratifying tribute to Gari.
baldi I have yet recorded is the one I learnt from
Mr. Seeley five minutes ago. The Duke of Somerset
haawritten to Sir Michael Seymour, thecommauder-
in-chief at Portsmouth, giving him official instruc.
tions to place a small government steamer at the
disposal of General Garibaldi and suite, for the
purpose ofenabling the general to visit the dockyard,
at Portsmouth. This steamer is to be in waiting at
Cowes at 10 to-morrow morning, and the carriagezt
will leave here in time for the excursion. Mr.
Seely is goof enough to invite me to accompany
the party, and I hope in my next letter
to give you an account of this most
interesting inspection. General Garibaldi has
planted an oak on the west side of the carriage
drive here, and the Poet Laureate planted another
yesterday on the corresponding side of the drive.

laths opposite the front door, and I am sum-
moned to see the general sit for his portrait.
The day is lovely, all clouds have disappeared,
and there is every prospect of fine weather
for the excursion of to-morrow. This afternoon
Garibaldi will be driven first to Yarmouth, and
from thence to the points of interest iu the
island. Invitations have been accepted by Gari-
baldi, provisionally, if time and circumstances
permit, to visit Liverpool (as the guest of Colonel
Chambers) and, the municipal authorities of Man.
cheater, York, Dundee, Greenock, Edinburgh,
Glasgow, Birmitgbani, Rochdale, West Hartlepool,
and Newcastle. It is necessary to remember that
it is utterly impossible for the general to fix precise
dates for the periods of his various visits, as these
must be governed by • variety of circumstances
i not yet fairly defined. The Chancellor of the
I Exchequer and the Marquis of Clanricarde have
invited the General to dine at their houses, and he
has accepted the invitations.
FRESHWATER, FRIDAY Evzsrec.
General Garibaldi called on Mr. Tennyson this
afternoon, and stayed an hour and a half. He
planted a Wellingtonia Gigantica in the poet's
grounds. Mr. Seely and party called for him at
the expiration of the time I have named. Mr.
Negretti has just come from London, and
has had an interview with the General, who
has agreed to visit the Crystal Palace on
Monday, 18th, as well as Saturday, the 16th. He
will receive the address of the Italian residenta in
London on the latter day, and of any other body
who may wish to present one ; but Garibaldi at
once decided upon visiting the Crystal Palace on
the Monday as well, on learning that it was a
cheaper, and therefore more convenient day for his
friends the working men.
The General will remain at the Duke of Suther•
land's until Tuesday, 19th, when he will go to
Prince's Gate, to again visit Mr. Seely.

Mr. Seely has written to Mr. Arthur Andrews,
one of the Town Conseil here, and desired him to rod three
carriages to the pier at 11 a.m., on Monday neat, to convey
General Garibaldi and his suite to the railway terminus.
The Sapphire will leave Cowes at 10 a.m. Garibaldi will
leave Southampton for London at about half• past 11 o'clock.
There will be no formal reception of the general here, as be
will merely per from the pier along the quay and platform
to the terminus. The commercial travellers who happened
to be io the town last Monday promoted an address to
Garibaldi, eulogising his useful life, great deeds, and sell
aboegation.
