LEGISLATIF.—Io the course of a speech on Wismar duties
in the Corps LegisWit on Monday last, M. fliers rid that
the drawback allowed upon beet root sugar benefited it to
the extent of three or four francs. The following dialogue
ensued :—M. de Morey : " That is an error, and if you will
permit me to explain—" M. Tbiers : "An error? Theo,
M. le Due de Morey, if it is an error you tan reply
to me. You are not president at this moment; you
Cr. my equal ; be good enough to listen to me."
M. do Horny : "1 should like to explain in a few words in
what way it is en error. lam not president at this mo-
ment, but I may observe that when I am io the chair I am
still more deferent towards you." M. Miens: "I should
be in the wrong if I bad meant anything that could wound
you. But you will excuse one who wishes to follow the
thread of his argument, and is desirous that it should not
be broken. If you wish to urge soy objection, I will listen
to it with the greatest deference." M. de Horny stated his
objection, and the discussion continued.
CAPTURE OP THE STEAMER BAVARIA BY A DANISH
FRIGATE.—A telegram from Hamburg states that the Ham.
hurg and American Company's steamship Bavaria, bound
from Hamburg to New York via Southampton, has bra
captured by a Daniell frigate off the mouth of the Weser.
A despatch from Southampton, dated yesterday evening,
says:—" The Bavaria had a large number of presagers on
board, and the value of the ship and cargo is estimated at
IM,OOOI. The Bavaria ought to have arrived here
early this morning to receive the French aid English
portion of her cargo, and was to have sailed
for New York at midday on Wadi:wary, as advertised.
The same oompry's steamer Germania, which arrived here
this morning from New York, is still detained in the river
off Netley Hospital waiting orders. It is not likely now
that she will leave for Hamburg, se her passengers have
been landed, end proceed to their destination via London.
It is expected the Germania will discharge b.r cargo at this
port, to be reshipped in English bottoms for Hamburg. and
that she will sail from this port for New York direr."

The Sydney Herald says that the total revenue
proper of New South Wales for 1863 was 1,:33,5971. 7a. Id.,
against 1.5E10,9621. 0.. 7d. for 1862.

PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM

OP TUC
CITY TO GENERAL GARIBALDI.
(THIS DAY.)

A vast concourse of people assembled at an early
hour this morning in front of the residence
of Mr. Seely, M.P., Princes-gate, anxious to
witness the departure of General Garibaldi
to be presented with the freedom of the City.
The weather could not have been more
brilliant—there being a clear sky, a bright sun, and
a soft refreshing breeze. A number of female
equestrians were present, and the appear-
ance of the fashionably dressed ladies in
open carriages was not the least inter
eating feature of the proceedings. The first
move made at Prince's-gate was at half-past 11,
when four carriages drove up to Mr. Seely'a, ooti-
?eying deputations from the Garibaldi Re-
ception Committee, and several of the City
authorities. The party having alighted,
proceeded to have an interview with the general,
at the conclusion of which a call was made for the
carriages to form in line. This was exactly at
12 o'clock ; and the first and second vehicle
having reoeived their occupants, a succesaion of enthu-
siastic cheers indicated the approach of Garibaldi,
' who on taking his seat in the third carriage was re-
ceived with the most excited demonstrations of
I welcome. He was accompanied by Mr. Seely,
Alderman Abbiss, and John Richardson, Req., C.C.
The gentlemen comprising the deputation followed,
and as the procession moved onward the cheering
ran along the whole line, the carriage
of the general being perfectly besieged
by persons evidently desirous of gaining
some slight acknowledgment. On arriving
at Albert-gate the multitude began to increase, and
foe a time the procession was entirely stopped,
the enthusiasm of the crowd growing yet more
apparent. Having arrived opposite the reei-
deuce of Lord Palmerston, in Piccadilly, another
ovation awaited the general ; and amidst the
cheers and waving of handkerchiefs, Garibaldi
gracefully acknowledged the compliment paid him by
several ladies who were standing in the balcony. In
St. James's-street and Pall-mall the reception
was particularly gratifying, the windows of the
several club-houses being filled with gentle-
men, whilst in the balcony at the Athemeum
there was a fair sprinkliog of ladies. Every
available space within the railings of the National
Gallery was studded with spectators, and the same
may be said of St. Martin's Church.

The scene in Ludgate-hill and Cheapside was
one of extraordinary brilliancy. The police began
to clear the road soon after 11, and although font
passengers continued to move freely almost up to
the moment when Garibaldi arrived, the approach
of the hero visitor was from that hour prepared
for with all the suitable festal accompani-
ments. Flags, the gayest and most appropriate,
streamed from many of the shops ; the windows
were all occupied by close-packed groups of spec-
tators ' • everyone, in short, was waiting to give
Garibaldi a fitting welcome to the centre of the
world's wealth and commerce.

Bennett's clock establishment was resplendent
with decorations, including two large medallion
casts of the general, intertwined with gay festoons
of artificial flowers, and surmounted with the
words " A Free Man among Free Men." Some of
the city bells rang out their homage.
The space extending from the end of King-street
to the Guildhall, and a considerable portion of
Gresham-street were partitioned off so as to prevent
any possible confusion at that important spot,
the carriages, as they arrived, being at once drawn
up to the entrance. On either side of the grand
doorway, seats were provided for spectators, and
I these, as would naturally be supposed, were all
I occupied at an early period. There were scarcely
nay external decorations, a flag, inscribed " Wel-
come to the City," simply expressing the great fact
of the day.

The presenre round the door for ingress to the
interior was before noon very embarrassing to the
ticket-takers and the police ; but the number of
tickets having been wisely limited to the available
space, wheu the door was at length opened the
dense throng soon found places, and settled down
with tolerable comfort. The admissions to the hall
commenced, ea previously arranged, at half-past
11, and continued iu a regular stream up to half-
past 12.
Long before 12 o'clock the interior of the Guild-
hall was completely taken possession of. The door-
way on both sides was built up in galleries, all of
which were fully occupied by ladies, many of them
wearing the Garibaldian colours. Theaklermen were
all on the qui rive, wearing their robes of office, and
facilitating the entry of their friends. The vestibule,
the ante-room, and the council chamber were fully
occupied, and the council chamber itself was
crowded by the more favoured visitors. We ob-
served Aldermen Rose and Finn* Mr. Anderton,
and other well-known and popular members of the
corporation, actively assisting in arranging the
preliminaries of the day's ceremonial.
The presentation of the City freedom does not
invariably take place in the council chamber, Lord
Hill buying received his freedom in the Chamber-
lain's-otlice. Kossuth received this distinguished
honour in thecouncil chamber. and onGaribaldi being
asked where he should like t 3 be made free of the City
of London, his characteristic reply was " Where.
ever Kossuth received his freedom." The record
was given to him in a massive gold box, of oblong
shape, in the style of Queen Anne, having in the
centre of the lid the arms of the city of London,
richly chased, and ornamented with flowers.
On the back is a star in burnished gold,
with the letter " G " set in it in brilliants.
Within this box was placed the resolution of the
Common Council. The box which was much ad-
mired, came from the atelier of Mr. Hancock, of
Bruton-street. At 1 o'clock, the lady Mayoress
and four lady friends took their places on the dais.
After several false alarms the appearance
of the Working Men's Committee in the
gallery announced that Garibaldi was close
at hand. At half-past 1 a general burst
of cheering in the Council Chamber no-
tified the general's entrance. The illustrious
hem, who wort his ordinary grey cloak and looked in
excellent health, passing through the open space on
either side of the Common Council, was received with
an ovation rather deep than loud, but marvellously
expressive of esteem and admiration. The general,
who wee accompanied among others by his son Rio-
ciotti, on amending the dais stood up for a moment
and wired with simple curiosity round the room.
The court having then been opened, and the
resolution conferring the freedom read, the Lord
Mayor took his usual seat. Thereupon Garibaldi
rose, and the City Chamberlain, Mr. Scott, de-
livered the following address to bins on behalf of
the corporation, many of the sentiments eliciting
loud expressions of approbation :
Illustrious Sir,—The City of London invites you today
to accept the highest honour at bee disposal, placing your
distinguished name upon the lid of worthies inscribed upon
the roll of honorary citizenship. It becomes my duty, ac-
cordingly, to address to you in her issues a few words, how-
ever inadequate, of thanks, coneratakitios, and hearty
welcome. We are well aware that an one shrinks more
sensitively than yourself from the voice of eulogy, and
yet, living as you do to please not yourself alma, you will
feel that there see oocasioesrod this would appear to be
one of them—when, for the sake of others, truth, thoagti
flattering, should be hissed to. Bear with me, then, while
I attempt to give feeble exprirsioe to the fseliegs of us-
bounded admiration sad affeetion entertained towards you
by the citizens of Landau. I am not called to dilate upon
the marvellous incidents of your eventful career, rivalling in
interest the wildest romance, bemuse the reseletiou of t►is

racter than to the political events of your life. History, it

Proceeding to South America, you are subject to the

" Welcome, because the glory of thy wreath
Had never shade nor stain,
Because thy sword sprang never from its sheath
Except to cleave a &Mo.
Because thy bands outstretched to all who live,
Armed sot for thine own sake,
So strong to save, opened so wide to give,

We thank you for the honour of this visit to our country
and to our city, we aeoept implicitly the assunuvoe that you
come among us to seek renewed health and to tad oppor.
tnnity to thank us for the sympathy we extended, and the
aid (small indeed) which we rendered to the cause of condi.

interest to promote in relation to this your visit The en of
revolutions is to us closed. Freedom ia, u it regards onnelves,

and defeats to remedy in the laws which regulate our social
condition ; but we wait as a people patiently and self-
reliantly, being well assured than en intelligent, earnest
unanimity will ever obtain for as that which we desire. We
are, nevertheless, deeply indebted to you, ■ir, for stirring
anew the altar fires of oar liberty, aiding us to realise afresh
bow deer to us is our old familiar freedom, as we witness
your struggles and sacrificea, and those of your evillest
souse and brave compatriots, to win the mine for your loved
Italy. You will go back to that beautiful but long num.
governed country, to tell of a eight you have witnessed—
unique of its kind in Europe—of a million of men contri•
belting to a triumph to the uncrowned champion of liberty,
without the pewees' of a single soldier ; arid you can sc.
quaint those who rule that the securest throne rats solely
upon the affections of a free people, and that the power to
" terminate the em of revolutions" is in the keeping of
rulers, and at their own disposaL
And new, air, permit me the privilege of offering you the
right hand of fellowship as a einem of London, requesting
your somptanos, in the name of the corporation, of this
souvenir of your visit to their City. We regret exceedingly
in common with our fellow countrymen that having been
too demonstrative in our affection, having " loved not
wisely, but too well," your health renders it expedient that
you,- visit should speedily terminate, let us hope, in the lan-
guage of Lord Palmerston, that the early termination of
your visit, and foregoing the honours awaiting you io every
town in this country, however disappointing to those who
admire, may have the effect of preserving to your country a
life eo valueible.

In the name of his lordship in the chair, of his brethren the
alderman, and of every member of this court, I express &
fervent hope that British skill end the iavigorsting sir of
our northern climate may ocintribute strength and soundness
to your enfeebled limb; rad may the unbought, spontaneous
love and welcome of a free people impart fresh nerve to
your arm, soil brace your patriotic heart for any work, for
Italy or for the world, which Providence may yet have in
store for you.

At the close of the above address, which was
much cheered, the Chamberlain said he was cum-
miasioned by the Lord Mayor to offer the right
hand of fellowship to the General's son, Rieciotti ;
the other son, who had been wounded, nut haring
yet reached the hall. The Chamberlain then shook
hands with Riociotti.

Amidst deep silence, General Garibaldi, still
standing, delivered the following reply, his
earnest and thrilling tones awakening the
deepest sympathy in all present. He said :

" It is certainly impossible to express my gra-
titude to.yon, as the representative of the glory of
the City of London, for the honour which you
offer me to-day. I am prouder of that honour
certainly than of the first place in war,
the first rank in war, the first honour in war,
because I consider it is the greatest honour for me
to be a free man of this glorious city-(local cheers)
—the focus of the civilization of the world. Ido
not exaggerate in saying that, because I have seen
now that this city is the very centre of liberty. Hers
there is not a stranger, because every inhabitant
is at home in England. (Cheers.) I repeat that
it would be impossible for me to express my
gratitude to you and to the City of London.
But I return you my thanks not for my own self
or for my brothers' sake alone, but for the sake
of my country, which looks to England for any
support which she can give in war. Certainly
my countrymen can never be grateful enough to
the English people for their support and sympathy,
and for material aid in every circumstance. This
is not the only occasion that I have been happy
with the English people. I lazve been happy with
them in many places in the world and at many
times, in America parti...ularly, and under
some instances it is owing to the protection of the
English people that I hare been saved. In
China I received from English people aid
which it is impossible for me to forget,
►ud I then said that in every part of the world my
gratitude, affection, and love for the English people
would be imperishable. I repeat that I ant grate-
ful generally to the English people on my country's
behalf." (Great cheering.)

After the above address • round of cheers was
given, and Garibaldi coming forward, exclaimed
with great energy : "I am proud to belong to you
for life." (Immense cheers.) He subsequently shook
haods with several of the aldermen and with the
Lady Mayoress. Home of the Common Councilmen
put ont their hands to share in this honour, but
there were loud cries of " No, no ; don't annoy the
General ;" and the attempt was abandoned. Before
leaving the dais the General raised the box to his
lips.

It was then resolved that the address and the
reply be entered on the minutes; that thanks be
given to the Duke of Sutherland and to Mr. Seely
for the hospitality which they had shown to the
General ; find that the address of the Corporation
be translated into Italian, and be given in that
language to the GeneraL
The court then adjourned, the proceedings havii.g
occupied about twenty-tive minutes, awl the abo••
ceremonial was immediately followed by a d;i• ••••• •
to the General at the Mansion-house.

The Judge Ordinary said there was some evidence le show

by the loss of his wife. The court would not groat any-

covered.

Mrs. Martha Page, of Frederick's-place, said that she was

Three weeks ago she told witness that she was miserable

Sarah Page, wife of last witness, saw the deceased woman
