THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1864;

May it not be fairly inquired if this project has been
thoroughly and fully considered.
The works at Westminster, rya Mr. Fowler, " must be ,
constructed during the period when parliament is not
sitting." That is, during the winter months, the wont
period of the year for wake of oenstrodion. The works
will go within 100 feet of the Abbey ; but, " though the
ground is very porous theta," Mr. Fowler is "quite sure
there would be no danger of weakening the foundations."
The engineer also repudiates the idea of all junctions with
other stations. "All junctions should be avoided ;" they
would only be inconveniences.
Q. What is the difference of level between your line and
the Cbarinrcroes line?
A. I think 43 feet. A staircase would be made from
the one to the other.

Q. How many steps would be required to get up 40 feet
A. About 70.

A pleasant prospect for gouty members of parliament.
Bur the joint committee has virtually decided that " all
junctions should be avoided."

RECEPTION OP OARIBALDL

The Working Men's Demonstration Committee
have issued the following address to the working men of
London :

Fellow Workmen, —ln a few days the soil of our native
land will be trodden by one of the greatest, the noblest, and
most se/i-sacriticing men of any age. General Garibaldi, the
hero of Italy and the moldier of freedom, is on the eve of
visiting this country. Yea, fellow•workmen, the most self-
denying patriot, the most daring and gallant of soldiers ; the
man whose heroic deeds have excited the admiration of the
civilised world, and struck tenor into the hearts of
tyrants and their tools, and whose dirintereetednem
and **lemon of purpose has been acknowledged even
by his bitterest foes, is about to honour our country
with his presence Let us, then, fellow-workmen,
aoe and all, op-operate in giving to this truly great and
noble citizen of the world a hearty English welcome ;
one that, while it will he worthy of the mao, will, at the
nuns time, reflect credit upon ourselves and our country.
We desire that our demonstrations of welcome shall not be
one of a party character, and we, therefore, invite our fellow
workmen of all shades of opinion, irrespective of sect or
party, to join with us in rendering • public homage to the
purity of character of the Illustrious Italian. We ask you
net to endorse by your presence every political or religious
opinion entertained by Garibaldi, but simply to do honour to
• man who has lived, fought, and bled, not for himself, but
for his country and freedom. By the working classes espe-
cially Garibaldiought always to be held in veueration,as the
interests of that class have been his guiding star, even when
be has attained • success, whose height and glory would
have dazzled and corrupted • lets noble and disinterested
nature. Our working brethren of Italy know this well;
and hence the love, amounting almost to idolatry, they bear
to the name of Garibaldi ; hence his power over the
armee of his countrymen; • power which emperors
and kings, and other common men, may envy without ob-
taining.

On Garibaldi visiting London, we purpose to give him a
public welcome and escort him to his place of temporary
!sojourn by a proceseion, which will be followed by a public
entertainment, or meeting, or both, as may hereafter be
determined upon. We ask you, fellow-workman, to join us
in this demonstration. Let meetings of all trades and
friendly societies, or other organised bodies of working men,
volunteer corps, ix., be at once convened, and let such
meeting appoint representatives to the committal, to moist
in carrying out ite object. The time is abort, and what is to
be dote mast be done at cam.

The sub-committee, with the treasurer and secretary, will
sit daily at the oaks of the Trades' Newspaper, the Beehirt,
10, Bolt-court, Flest-stmet, from 10 a.m. until 10 in the
evening, for the purpose a affording information and re.
ceasing subscriptions for the " Demonstration and Testi-
monial Fund."

The general committee will meet every Tuesday even-
ing at eight o'clock at the Whittington Club, Arundel-
street, Strand, to which »preventatives from any body of
working meta are invited. The committee are prepared to
co-operate with any other committee having ► similar object
in view.

A full programme of the preceediop will shortly be
published.—By order of the committee,

Gnaws POTTZE. Trwgxer.

POLISH DEMONSTRATION ON BLACKHEATH.

Yesterday afternoon an open air demonstration,
wormed by the League for securing the National Inde-
pendence of Poland, was held on Blackheath, immediately
opposite the lodge entrance of Greenwich-park. The
meeting was attended by upwards of 5,000 persons, who ap-
peared to take much interest in the proceedings, and the
utmost order prevailed. A large ',isogon served as • platform
for We sens ; and the chair wee occupied by Mr.
Edmond president of the League, who in an able
address referred to the past history of Poland, and the
wrongs to which she bad been subjected on the part of the
despotic powers of Europe. It was unfortunate that the
policy of England had invariably been to refuse the invita-
tion of France to act on behalf of Poland, and this noe-
-1 intervention policy on oar part had now arrived at such •
pitch that it appeared our oldest and most faithful allies
might be crushed by the despots of Europe without
our active interference. He believed the Poles
were yet in a oonditices to gain their independeme.
The Poles had men—but they required arms to tight the
battle of freedom ; and Englishmen might, by their sub-
scriptioes, render them essential aid in this regnant. Mr.
11. W. Marriner, of Erith, moved the first resolution, as
follows :—" That the devoted and self-sacrificing heroism of
the Poles in their past conflicts and present struggle for
the recovery of the freedom and independence of their
country entitles them to the earnest and active support of
every free people, and that to allow them to draggle on
=misted during another year against the atrocious war
waged by Russia for their renewed subjugation, in defiance
of the faith of treaties and of every principle of justice
and aatioeial right, will be • disgrace to France and Great
Britain. an insult to humanity, and • scandal to
christendoect." Mr. Manion), of Woolwich, se-
aoudad the resolution, which was unanimously adopted.
Mr, Le Luber, of Camberwell, moved the second resole.
tion—" That the restaratioo of Poland as an independent
power is essential to the peace and welfare of Europe, and
this meeting warmly deprecates the policy which has re-
peatedly misled the British government into reacting the
urgest entreaties of France to co-operate with her in
effecting that restoration, and urgently presses upon the
present government to recognise the belligerent rights of
the insurgeots, and to declare that Rana has forfeited all
such claim as she ever had under the treaties of 1815 to
sovereignty over any part of Poland." The resolution was
seconded b Mr. Conolly, and unanimously adopted. Other
speakers a the meeting, and the following further
etiolation was also adopted:—" 1 hat this meeting wholly
repudiates the selfish and suicidal principle, as it is called,
of non-intervention, which has led to and encouraged an
alliance of despotism upon the ruins of Poland." A large
number of permit's were enrolled as members of the league,
sad the meeting separated.

Echttuisal Oforpt Martin, a reepectably-dressed man, was
charged with having unlawfully, and in connexion with
others, tumultuously assembled to the disturbance of the
public pesos, and injured a certain house in the occupation
of one John Parker.
The complainant said—l am a tobacconist in business at
517, Hackney.road. About 8 o'clock last night I saw •
crowd of men, women, and boys on the pavement and road
opposite my house ; they were hooting and beating kettles.
Several stores were thrown at the glass and into my shop
Six paws of glass were broken. I succeeded in putting up
my abutters and closed the doors. Two or three constables
were outside trying to disperse the mob, but did not succeed.
The crowd rapidly increased. Suddenly I heard a loud
hammering at the doors, which motioned for the apace of
half an hour. The fanlight over the shop door then fell in.
I put an upright and some boards against the shutters and
glass. The violence continued at intervals until 10 o'clock,
and then the whole double door fell in with a great crash,
as though immense force bad been used. I afterwards saw
the prisoner in custody.
Magistrate—What was the occasion of such disgraceful
proceedings'
Promoter—Family matters, sir; but perfectly apart from
this person's interference.
William Parrish, 158 K—l was on duty, and heard 'great
disturbance about the time mentionea. There were at
least MO persona present. I saw the prisoner and others
kicking at the doors. Just se I laid my band on him the
doors went in—glass doors also. I took him into custody.
Bricks and stones were thrown at us. I was struck on the
shoulder, and hurt severely. The crowd followed for half
a mile of road.

Prisoner denied being concerned in the uproar, bat ad-
mitted basing been present.
A witness named Arthur Powell swore that Martin was
not near the door, although he stood at the herb ,laughing,
the same as other. _

The magistrate remarked that each disgraceful ante aa
that in question were not to be talented in the midst of a
greet rnetropolia,and bad the depositions instantly completed
for the prisoner's committal to the Middlesex Sessions on
the charge dated.
Bail refused.

Thomas Rederstead, a labouring man, wan then charged
with inciting persons to reecue the primmer Martin, and the
offence having been proved, he was committed for one

bad been abstracted.

In reply to his worship,
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Mansfield mid that she had beencarrying on a system
of wholesale plunder, and she might think fortunate
that the we was not pressed with severity against her, tot
then he should have been compelled to wad her for trial.
He would inflict the full amount of punishment he could,
namely, imprisonment for six mouths with hard labour.

trate's advice upon a matter of oonaidsrable interest and im-
portance to him.

an executor de sou tort, and would be liable for such a
