VISITORS TO GARIBALDI.

TO TRH EDITOR or THE EXPELS&

Sia,—K Pauchet, the correspondent of the
Opinion Nationale, has just paid a visit to General Gari-
baldi at Varignano, and gives detail in a letter addrered
to the above journal of to-day.
As his letter may recipe observation in England, I take
the liberty of calling your attention to one paragraph, and
quote :

"II n'y a qu'un dean an Variguano, c'est le !Merinos°
des Augtitian! ales arriveot bourn'es de recommendations,
s'apputent sue le pied du lit du gen6.al et natant la, bouche
biliote, des heures eutii•res sans mot dire. Fort heureuse-
meet Ripari (the doctor) veille, et mos ciri•monie, hors de
la vue de Garibaldi, it lour fait signs de digueroir et salt,
par des gates expressifs, leur dauootrer qua le waled° a be-
moan de epos."

How tiresome must such ill•judged curiosity be to the
illustrious patriot.
In a previous paragraph, also, M. Pauchet alludes to the
number of people who visit Garibaldi for the purpose of
obtaining his signature to-portrait cards, and who are not
well received by the generaL One may well believe,
although M. Pauchet does not say so, that the greater part
of these intrusive, are English ; for the people of this nation
appear to have leas " tact" than any other in the civilised
world.-1 am, L:c., • • •

CHATHAM, Ocr. 22.
During the whole of to-day the weather has been
exceedingly tempestuous, the wind blowing a hurricane
froni the south-west, with violent squalls of rain. All the
vessels of war in harbour have sent down royals and top-
gallant mute, and made all snug, in anticipation of a wild
squally night. While the gale was at its height, the screw-
steamer Rosario, 11„Commander Graham, commenced
dragging her anchor, but steam having been immediately
got up, no casualty to the vessel occurred.

WOOLWICH, OCT. 22.
LAUNCH OF THE CALEDONIA.—The whole of the
arrangements were this day completed at this dockyard,
under the superintendence of Mr. Turner, master ship-
wright., for the launch of the iron-plated screw frigate
Caledonia, on Friday next, at two o'clock. A raised plat-
form with seats has been erected at the bow of the vessel
for the accommodation of members of the Admiralty, naval
and military officers, and other visitors, the number of
tickets being limited to 600, the whole of which have been
issued. A limited number of persons have also been pre-
sented with tickets for admission to the Fisgard Bag-ship, or
to be launched on board the Caledonia. In accordance with
instructions issued by Commodore-Superintendent Sir
F. W. E. Nicolson, the public will be admitted to the yard
without restriction by the main gate at LIS, and e
will enter at the factory gate. After the launch th=
donia will be hauled round into dock by two steam-tug
vessels. She has at present only six of her armour plates
fixed, and will be completed in dock.

Heavy Armstrong guns have this week been
landed at Hobb's Point, Pembroke-dock, from Woolwich, foe
the fortifications just oompletod at East Hook Point, Mil-
ford Haven. They are now being removed to that important
battery, one of those intended for the protection of the
dockyard and arsenal.
