VISIT TO THE CEMETERY AT CHMIVICE.

DIATEUNT3 AT THE ItEFORAI CLUB.

This morning, at seven o'clock, General Gari-
baldi, aooompanied by Signors Panizzi, SUS,
Semenza, Zanzi, Serena, Fivante, and his secretary,
Guerzoni, and Dr. Basile, left Mr. Seely's house
for Chiswick Cemetery. He entered it with all his
followers, and with profound respect approached
the tomb of the distinguished Italian writer and
patriot, Ugo Fosoolo, which was restored in the
year 1861. The scene was very touching, the
general having always entertained the great-
est admiration for the Italian patriot. The
tomb was originally erected by Mr. Hudson
Gurney. In a few minutes the cemetery was
thronged with people of all classes, and the
usual ovations were paid to the general. A gentle-
man connected with the family of Mr. Hudson
Gurney, after having spoken to the general, came
forward and made an appropriate speech, saying
that "the general came to pay a tribute to the
tomb of Ugo Foscolo, the great Italian patriot,
whose successor and representative was at present
General Garibaldi himself." (Great cheers.)
The general, with his usual mildness, bowed
his thanks, and turning to the tomb with much
devotion of spirit, deposited a laurel crown in
bronze, bearing the following inscription :

. . . . Ai glinercei
Giusti di glotis disponsieni c marts.
Dom& aggo, 20 Arad), 1064.

After the usual acclamatious, the party returned
to Mr. Seely's house.
Whatever may have been the sentiments of the
" from forty to fifty members" of the Reform Club
whose "protest" appeared in the advertising
columns of a morning contemporary, such senti-
ments were conspicuous for their absence at the
dejettner to-day at the Reform Club. Entire unani-
mit7, devoted enthusiasm, an utter abnegation of
ordinary club rights, were the distinguishing
characteristics of the reception given to the
general this morning. The reception committee
bad issued a programme prescribing the routine to
be observed by members of the club and their
guests. Those participating in the banquet were
to range themselves in certain fashion, the coine
mittee itself was to be stationed at a particular
point, the guests were to be provided for, at
a specified time—in short all means were
adopted to ensure such a complete and
satisfactory welcome to the hero of Italy as
should Le worthy of the first liberal association of
the most liberal city iu the world. The hour
named by the reception committee for the members
of the club and their friends to assemble was 11
a.m., and soon after that time the entrances—the
liall,the staircase, and the gallery—were sufficiently
filled. "Silken fetters," of the recognised Gari-
baldian hue, divided the throng. The committee
—conspicuous by a distinguishing rosette—waited
to receive the general, whilst the servants of the
club affixed mil, white, and green ribbons to the
button-holes of such gentlemen as desired to mark
their appreciation for, and sympathy with, the
Italian cause by an outward and visible sign. Mean-
while a band, conducted by M. Louis Jullien,
played a selection, wherein the Garibaldian Hymn
held prominent and frequent place. At half-past
11 a distant roar, which, momentarily increasing in
sound and violence until it perceptibly mingled
with the roll of carriage wheels, announced that
Garibaldi was being greeted by the crowd outside.
A slight pause, and the general appeared in
the centre of the hall, heartily welcomed not
only by Lord Ebury and Mr. Gore
Langton, M.P., but by the " Vitas" and
" hip hips " of the well-dressed crowd, the shouts
of welcome being, if not led, at least materially
aided by "Garibaldi's Englishman" Colonel
Peard. Another pause, during which Garibaldi is
ushered to a raised dais in the centre of the
hall, and renews conversationally the greetings
lie has already received from Lord Ebury,
Mr. Gore Langton, Sir William Clay, and
more generally from the cheering, handker-
chief-waving assemblage, who are either about
to breakfast with Garibaldi, or who mean
to patiently await his departure, for a farewell
cheer. After a few minutes the various ticket-
holders file off to the seats prescribed for them,
and the :general enters the breakfast-room,
amid the loudly-expressed applause of his
hosts. Colonel Chambers and Mr. Seely sat with
him at the table put aside for the committee, but
neither Menotti nor Ricciotti, nor indeed any other
of the Italians in his suite, were present. Lord
Ebury presided, with Garibaldi and Mr. Seely on
his immediaterightand left. Thebealth of the Queen,
with a happyquotation from the general'aspeech at
the Crystal Palace on Saturday. was followed by that
of the Prince and Princess of Wales, with a some-
what discursive, but perhaps not unwelcome, allu-
sion to Danish affaire, aud then came the toast of
the day. Lord Ebury honestly avowed his admir-
ation for Garibaldi, an admiration not merely of
yesterday or to-day, but which, dating from his
first patriotic efforts, had strengthened and inten-
sified with each triumph he had won, and every
instance of unselfish devotion he had displayed,
and then, in the name of the members present,
bade Garibaldi welcome to the Reform Club, and
wished him God speed in his noble effort for the
regeneration and unity of his country.
Garibaldi's reply was terse and effective. He re-
peated the thanks he has so frequently and grace-
fully iterated during the last fortnight, and his
allusion to his newly-acquired citizenship was ac-
cepted as an oratorical " point ;" and the " I am au
Englishman now, and I call on you to drink to my
adopted country" received with loud and continuous
cheering. The Duke of Sutherland arrived as
Lord Ebury was proposing the general's health, and
soon after his response left with Garibaldi and
Mr. Seely. The triumphal hymn or song which
M. Jullien and his corps of fellow sympathisers
interpolated between the proposal of, and the re-
turning thanks to, the toast of the day, was not
the least pleasing feature of thin reception.
The general looked well in health, but seemed
somewhat to lack the fire and energy so notable in
his demeanour a short week ago.

At two o'clock the general was to lunch with Earl
and Lady Russell. This evening be dines with the
Fishmongers' Company.

No intimation ball been received by us thia morn-
ing of any change in the determination of General
Garibaldi to leave England on Monday next.

CONVOCATION OF THE PROVINCE or CANTERBERT.
—Yesterday morning both Houses of Oonvocatioc roes-

of Ely, Canon Selwyn, sod other gentlemen, brought up a

archbishop as to the circumstances which had called forth
the gravamen, the deputation withdrew. The Bishop of
Oxford, io a speech of enasidenible length, moved the ap-
pointment of • committee to consider and report on the

The business in the Lower House was not of sufaciout public
interest to call for a report.
