mouths. (Oh, oh.) After alluding to the rosettes of
friends at the Geeing at Stafferd-boises oar Sands=
and the result arrived at, be observed that it wee •
to the General that his yisits should he ceased to • few
tower, end as Bristol, Braniagbam, Neweesta, Mambos-
tar, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, whereupon Garibaldi said that
he could not draw the line between different tows( sad
that rather thaa attempt that, he would prefer leaving Eng-
land at once, • deterounatioa in which he persisted. The
gentlemen who tendered this advice to whiehlw had referred
conjointly wen. be stated, the Duke of Sutherland, the Earl
of Shaftesbury, Count SaM, Colonel Pend, Gemini Ebers,
Mr. Charles Seely, M.P., Mr. Negretti, and Mr. Snosfidd.
After stating that the General purposed at no daunt day
visiting the tows which he wee unable to visit now on so-
count of the state of his health, and repudiating the notion
that the goverumset scald have any sinister political ob-
ject, seeing that the visits of Garibaldi would tend to
strengthen them at the next election, the boo.
member entered into • statement of fade within his own
knowledge, pointing to • danger of paralyeie if the Genial
attempted sow to fulfil his numerous ea to.; this
Weisman being virtually a oordirmatiou of that made by
Lord Palmerston in the House of Commas. He added
that his own opinion was, that if so one had interfered, the
General would have worked himself to death. (Hear.)
A series of searching questions were thee put, at his
own invitation and request, to Mr. Seely, bat they did act
elicit any contradiction or material variation.
In reply to a question from the Chairman,
Mr. SAILT said, to the best of his belief, and on his
honour, he had told them everything that it concerned them
to know in coming to • decision.
After some remarks from Mr. W. BRAIN and other gen-
tlemen in support of the resolution,
Mr. Nsuarrri replied to Mr. Richardson. He said he
wee in fact • foreigner, but he should be ashamed to be an
' Englishman if he thought Ragland could be coerced by any
j forage power. (Cheers.) He corroborated what bad fallen
from Mr. Seely with regard to the General's health. On the
previous day, be said, there were reception from two till
six o'clock, and while he himself was with the General '
those receptions had to be suspended three times for about
half an hour, because the General was too roach exhausted
to pruned. Mr. Stansfeld as well as himself (Mr. Negretti)
saw the General in that condition. Further, in going to
the Crystal Palace the other day, on three separate
occasions he put his hand oar his forsheed, sad
said "he was confused and felt pain there." Mr.
Negretti then gave, by way of illostratioe, • long list of the
General's engagements for to-morrow. commencing at half-
past seven and extending continuously from that hour up
to the banquet at Fahmoogers'-hall at half-past six. A
man who mold go through such work without injury must
be made of cast-iron ; sad while the Italians Basked the
English people for their kindness to the General, they must
also Noy to them, • ' For Gad's sake don't kill him." (" Hew,
hear," and cheers.)
Mr. P. A. Taylor, Mr. Edmund Beaks, and Mr. Cowes,
of Newcastle, supported the resolution, which, after some
further discussion, was adopted almost unanimously. Mr.
Seely had previously left the room, to attend, as he re-
marked, the dinner given to General Garibaldi that evening
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
On the motion of Mr. Barran LANGLIT, seconded by Mr.
Porrls, it was subsequently resolved—not without some
prior altercation between the chairman and Mr. Richardson,
in consequence of the latter's Resisting in what Mr.
Mall called " personal observations"— ' That • deputation
of eight gentlemen be appointed by this meeting to lay
before General Garibaldi the resolution now passed, and
that this deputation be authorised to represent to the Gene-
ral the string feeling of the English people, and to solicit
him to vet seven principal towns at such intervals as will
afford him sufficieot rest to preserve his health."
After • long and very desultory °Devaluation, the fol-
lowing gentlemen were selected as she deputation : —Mr.
E. Mir 4 Mr. E. Reales, Mr. John Richardson, Mr.
Nicholay, Mr. W. Sheen, Captain Rogers, Mr. Potter,
and Mr. W. Lawson, M.P.
. . .

At the termination of the proceedings, which occupied
nearly three hours, and were of anything but an harmonious
character, it was understood that the deputation should
wait upon General Garibaldi at Mr. Gladstone's that even.
lug.
A rote of thanks was accorded to the chairman.

The above-mentioned deputation, in conjunction
with a deputation from the Working Men's Reception CM-
mince, waited upon the General last night, at belt-put
11 o'clock, at Mr. Seely's residence. Several members of
the deputation baviog spoken, General Garibaldi, with much
emotion, said—" I feel deeply grateful to the people of Eng-
land for the honour they have conferred upon me, honour
of which I feel myself unworthy. The reception I have re.
mired from all dames, bat especially from the working
classes, will never be forgotten by me. I much desire to
visit my old friends in Newcastle and the North. I will
consider if I can, consistent with my promise, alter my de-
termination, and will writ* a sole expressing my ieteetioiss
to my friend, Mr. Reales to-morrow (this) morning." The
deputation then took their leave, again urging upon him the
propriety of visiting some of the larger towns,aod thanking
the General for moniving them at so late as hour of the
night.

This is a weak programme, by ne means worthy of so pre-
tentious a body u the Musical Soeiety of London, which
began its career with the professed object of patting to
shame the antiquated routine of the old Philharmonic, and
showing the public how a peat concert ought to be got up.
With so splendid an orchestra, and so able a coodurtor as
Mr. Alfred Mellon, it was hardly possible to produce • con-
cert deititute of interest. Accordingly Mendelssolio's is.
overture, the Isles of Fingal, and Mozart's beautiful sym.
phooy in E tlat, were admirably performed sod applauded,
as they deserved to be; sod Mr. Harold Thomas's
overture to A u .Like It was an excel-
lent aid successful performance. This work of
one of our most rising young composers was lately heard
os one oi the society's "trial nights," and was so much
approved that it was most properly determined to bring it
before the public. It is a clunniug composition ; gay and
bnliiant, with that freshness and sylvan chancier which
belong to Shakespeare's delicious play. We hear that it ie
to be again performed at Mr. Benedict's Shakespearian Con.
cart at St. Jauice'ehall, to-morrow ovules, and
also next %edit at Stratford, where it is to
precede the representation of the comedy. We
learn also that it is to be produced by Mr.
Mums at the Crystal Palace. It is satisfactory to observe
the talent of a young native musician so fully appreciated.
A concerto on the concertina ought never to have been in-
troduced into such a concert as this. The concertina is not
admitted as a legitimate member of the family of instru-
ments. It is a mere apology for the violin, sod we never
hear Signor Rums& play upon it without regretting that be
should have attached himself to an instrument unworthy of
him, instead of having made himself (as he might have done)
tined the most accomplished violinists of the day. Why did
not Sivori play a conceit°! He could easily have been
had, and it was unpardonable not to engage him. The beet
vocal performance was Boui's fine old Italian air, exceed-
ingly well sung by Mdliv. Bettelheini. The other vocal
pieces were too theatrical for • concert-room.
