GARIBALDI AND THE ITALIAN VOLIINTELRB.—The
Florence papers of the 20th contain the following order of I
the day just issued by Garibaldi to the Italian volunteers :
" Italian Volunteees,—We have passed the frontiers
erected by diplomacy, but not marked by nature ; in occu-
pying the Trentino you are still upon Italian soil. You
will have the consolation of restoring it to liberty, of res-
cuing it from foreign rapine. But to render this lofty
mission possible no light morificce must be made ; you
will make them. Neither the long marches among these
precipices, nor the fatigues, nor the privations, will weaken
your invincible spirit. Those who have followed me at the
appeal of the country come, I hope, with the deliberate
determination not only to fight without fear, but to
suffer without complaint. The volunteers should set an
example. I need not, therefore, exhort you to treat with
kindness this excellent population that Austrian tyranny
could never bend with threats nor corrupt with flattery ;
the joyous welcome it accords you attests the instinct of
kindred, and furnishes the most eloquent contradiction to
the ignorant and premeditated calumny that would throw
suspicion upon its patriotism. It immediately feels the
joy of being free with that of considering you as brothers.
I am certain that none of you, in disregard of my ream.

mendatieo, will tarnish Italian honour with seta or words
of brutality that I am determined to punish inexorably.

THE PRUSSIANS IN FRANKFORT.

lady yesterday afternoon a notice was mates-
Mealy posted throughout London, signed by Sir
ittehard. Magas, stating that Hyde-perk gates
would be closed to the public at five o'clock. The
committee of the Reform League met to conclude
their arrangements, and an earnest resolve was
expressed not to abandon what they considered
their clear line of duty. As published in previous
reports, minute orders had been issued to the
branches in different parts of the metropolis, direct-
ing the time, place, and manner of assembling, and
urging in the strongest terms the necessity of
keeping order and exercising the utmost forbear-
ance. The numerous processions were to march
with banners and music to the Marble Arch, where
properly appointed persons on their behalf would
demand admittance, if necessary. So early as
three o'clock crowds were assembling in Hyde-park
and the adjacent streets, and by five o'clock thou-
sands were standing near the chief entrances.
When large bodies of police, on foot or mounted,
palmed into the park and took up their positions,
they were groaned at and hissed, and those demon-
strations were intensified when a body of foot
soldiers, with fixed bayonets, followed their blue-
coated brethren. Precisely at five o'clock the park
gates were closed, and strong forces of police were
stationed inside. The carriages being driven about
the walks, and the thousands of persons strolling
on the grass, were allowed to leave if they chose
! but new admissions were rigorously refused. Th;
crowds that collected from this time outside
the railings were beyond numbering. At Hyde-
park-corner, along Park-lane, but particularly at
the Marble Arch, where it was known entrance
would be formally demanded, the people were
wedged together in every direction. On the whole
it was a good-humoured crowd. At Hyde-park-
corner they amused themselves by " chaffing "
all rinks and conditions of passers-by, not omit-
; ting the fashionable* who had been enjoying the
I pleasures of the Lady's-mile, or Rotten-row.
Streams of well-dressed persons rendered Park-
lane almost impassable, and a block would
mime at each police-guarded gate. It was
generally pointed out that the windows
of Mr. Disraeli's house at Grosvenor-
gate were well protected by stout wooden blinds
on the outside. Before the Marble Arch, stretch-
ing away on either hand, and far up into Great
Cumberland-street, stood one thick crowd of both
sexes, whose safety was imperilled by the vehicles
that had to force their passage through. The police
were at first posted inside the gates, but a few mis-
siles,' now a stone and then a stick, were thrown,
and the men were then marched outside. A line of
ordinary policemen, in a semi-circle, stood
before the gates, protected in front by
mounted constables. As a rule they behaved
with patience and forbearance. We happened to see
one mounted sergeant receive • heavy stone full
against his breast, and he commanded himself suf-
ficiently to appear as if he liked it rather than
otherwise. With the exception, however, of the
unmeaning stone-throwing just mentioned, the
waiting hours were spent in joking, laughing,
smoking, and chatting. The housetops and bal-
conies overlooking the park were occupied by
large numbers of ladies. One portion of the crowd
was much amused by an oration from a gentleman
who held forth from the step of a Hansom cab.
He said, when asked who he was, he was the Hon.
Charles Hugh Clifford, son of the late Lord Clifford.
The approach of the procession was signalled by
the people beyond the Marble Arch, who caught
Night of them coming down one of the side streets.
As soon as the banners were seen a cheer was raised
from ten thousand throats, and a space was opened
for the leaders to pass along to the gates. The pro-
cesaion, which we may here state had on their
route maintained the finest discipline—was headed
by a couple of carriages, the foremost containing
Mr. E. Beale', Colonel Dickson, Mr. Geo. Brooke,
and other prominent members of the Reform
League. As Mr. Beale* and his friends neared the
cordon of police before the gates the cheers in-
creased, and hats were vigorously waved. With
unmistakable enthusiasm, but decently and
in order, Mr. Beale& and two or three
friends were assisted from their carriage, and
escorted towards the gate. Addressing the
nearest mounted officer, Mr. Beales requested
a quiet admittance to the park ; the officer told
him he could not go in, and to Mr. Beales' ques-
tion " Why ?" he said, " I have authority to pre-
vent you." Mr. Beales asked who gave him the
authority? and the reply was, "Our commissioner."
Mr. Beales, remarking that the " parks were the
property of the people," made a movement
as if he would pass the line of police, when
a tall policeman, thrusting the end of his
truncheon into Mr. Beales' cheat, pushed
him with more rudeness than was necessary
a foot or two back. There were loud cries of
" Shame" at this prompt interference, and things
b.ftento wear an alarming aspect, when Mr. Beal*,
still keeping his ground, and apparently pressing
his right to be admitted, was, so far as could be
seen, collared by a couple of policemen, but cer-
tainly subjected to such treatment that his coat
was torn across the shoulder. During the confu-
sion that prevailed one or two gentlemen had got
within the line of police, and the officers were
evidently so disorganised that a slight effort on the
part of the crowd would have broken their line
completely. Colonel Dickson and Mr. Wolterton
were both assaulted by a policeman whose
number is known, and the latter gentleman
demanded the name of a mounted superintendent
who refused him admittance to the park, which
the policeman declined to give.
The leaders of the reform party thus repulsed
stepped back into their carriages amidst load cheer-
ing, and a little murmuring on the part of those
whose curiosity would perhaps have been better
satisfied had resistance been carried further. As much
of the procession es could be organized in the dense
mass, variously estimated at from a hundred to two
hundred thousand persons, followed thecarriages of
the committee towards Oxford-street, along which
they proceeded, gathering force as they went.
Such of the tradesmen along the route as had not
previously dosed their shops, were to be seen
staly dragging out their shutters as if they
feared robbery if not murder, while every window
was crowded with spectators. Some idea of the
procession may be gathered from the fact that when
the first portion was turning into Pall-mall a large
number were still in Piccadilly. In passing
through St. Janies'eetreet some police were
visible for the first time after leaving
Hyde-park. About six officers were drawn across
the entrance to the narrow street in which Lord
Bioko lives. The crowd, who had apparently for-
gotten their proximity to his lordships seditious,

not altogether feasible moved westward, and
in one bold dash smashed in the railings to the park
of the park in spite of the police who
were there to prevent them, but who were
either unable or unwilling to do so, and entered
the park cheering vociferously, and waving hand-
km-cosfs, shouted to those outside to follow them.
The railings at Park-lane were broken in about the
same time, and in a few minutes several
thousands had entered the park. Sir Richard
Mayne and Captain Harris commanded the
police inside the park. Encounters between
the police and the mob became rife, the
1 former using their truncheons freely, and the latter
stones and other missiles, and before long several
prisoners and wounded persons were removed.
The mob hooted the police fiercely. In fact, the
efforts of the latter instead of quelling the dis-
turbance, seemed to have a contrary effect, and
serious consequences were apprehended, when a
detachment of Foot Guards, under the command
of Colonel Lane Fox, arrived. The moment the
Guards appeared they were cheered enthu-
siastically by the mob, and in a short
time they took position near the gate by
the directions of their commander, and never
once moved from it during the subsequent proceed-
ings. A body of the Life Guards soon after ar-
rived, and were cheered in a hearty manner. They
however did not act in conjunction with the police
in keeping the mob inside the park from going near
the gate which was the scene of the disturbance,
but
,galloped off to some other part of the park.
When the police were left to themselves they were
again pelted by and in turn attacked the mob,
one or two of their number being unhorsed.
After a series of charges against the mob the
police were re-inforoed by a second detachment
of Foot Guards, who were drawn up in front of the
gate, and who, with the first detachment, received
orders to be in readiness to fire should it become
necessary. Encounters between the police and the
mob then became less frequent, and finally quie-
tude was being restored when another body of Life
Guards augmented the soldiery, and combined
to help in removing the mob from the park.
Another correspondent says :—Such a scene as oc-
curred lust evening at the Marble Arch has not
been witnessed in this peaceful country for many
a long day—not, certainly, since the worst days
of the Burdett riots. It was a sight that
few indeed could believe pumible to see a
squadron of Life Guards, with drawn swords,
entering the park, as if a battle was raging, and
the Foot Guards drawn up in battle array inside the
park, with numberless policemen posted on all the
strong points. The crowd in front of the Marble
Arch were astonished at the sight of the mili-
tary, and naturally imagined that some dreadful
riot was going on which endangered the
lives of the inhabitants and the safety of their pro-
perty. When they learnt that there was no riot,
and that no violence was attempted except to the
iron railings and the gates of the park, which had
been locked to prevent their entering their own
park, no sounds of execratiou were loud enough to
express their indignation. The Guards had to hear
themselves called " butchers," and to be threatened
with all sorts of retribution in the shape of stopping
their pay. How it was that the military
were thus called in to insult the people, and
to suffer all this indignity, which they
evidently did, must be left to the Home Secretary
and Sir Richard Mayne. Anyone who, like the
writer, was in the thickest of the crowd when the
iron railings were charged and broken down, will
bear witness to the first blows being struck by the
police. And there were not many of these, for the
fight was unequal; the crowd, never intending to
I fight, had come with no weapons, and they over-
kame the police simply as a river breaks
! through its muddy bank. They swept over
! the breach, when once formed, in Park-lane,
I while the police stood guarding the prostrate
iron rails and stones in solemn stupidity and amaze-
! went ; they committed no violence except in self-
defence' and when a little crowd in any part was
charged by the mounted police, then a bough or
a piece of dirt, or very rarely a stone, was flung,
I but with very small effect, and the valiant police
seemed to delight in showing their prowess in
1 riding down harmless sight-seers. If the matter had
stopped here, we could have smiled overtheirgallant
achievements, but when the Life Guards appeared
on the scene about 8 o'clock, and deliberately drew
