THE Pairrcraa or WALES. —lt is with sincere
pleasure (says Echoes from the Clubs) that we are enabled
to inform our readers that during the last few days her
Royal Highness the Princess of Wales has found herself able
for the first time since her illness to walk downstairs by the
aid of crutches. This must be considered a vest improve-
ment, when it is remembered that for sevenlong months the
Princess has never stint d from a recumbent position.
Our correspondents inform us that she has never looked
more charming, nor appeared more cheerful and animated
than since her arrival at Wiesbaden. Surrounded by her
children, she appears thoroughly happy, and no husband
could display more devotion to • wife than does the
Prince to the fair invalid.

GARIBALDI IN GENETA.

The correspondent of the Sick describes the
appearance of Geneva on the arrival of Garibaldi u
follow. :

" I have seen immense crowds in Paris ; but I never saw
such a concourse of people as were assembled before the
railway-station in the Rue de Mont Blanc and along the
quay. I have more than once seen examples of popular
enthusiasm in Paris; but I never saw anything
like the enthusiasm which was manifested yesterday by
the population of Geneva, increased as it was by the
inhabitants of the surrounding country. All the large and
wealthy houses and hotels in the Rue du Mont Blanc
were decor►ted, and elegantly dressed ladies filled the
windows, displaying as much enthusiasm as the people in
the street. Mont Blanc itself seemed to wish to partici-
pate in the ovation. All the morning the Gitnt o: the
Alpe was covered with mist, but ail iue cortege debouched
from tl!t 7.1.!!!rt; the um broke forth and radiated
him lofty heed with a warm and ray colour. "
The correspondent of the Temps says:— The gener►l
appeared. We all recognised him at once, though we
never saw him before. That mild and captivating coun-
tenance, those blue eyes full of tender light, that long
blonde beard now turning gray, were all familiar
to us. When I saw him I thought I recognised
in him ono whom I knew formerly, and near
whom I lived on terms of filial friendahip. I am
not ashamed to confess that my eyes filled with tears, and
that a nervous emotion took possession of my whole being.
Garibaldi wore the red shit:, over which was • striped
grey and black cloak. He had • stick, on which he leaned,
and he looked like one of the patriarchs in a biblical
painting. When he appeared cries of " Vivo Girl-
halal," " Viva le General," "Vice " Vive
la Liberte," " Vise la Republique"—[it is very consti-
tutional
to raise this cry in the Canton of Vaud)—
burst forth from the people. When be got into the
carriage some persons shouted " Vive Rome !" The sound
caught him, and he rose, replying with the words, " Vive
Geneve, la Rome de lintelligence !"
Arrived at his hotel, he made a speech, of which
the following are the most interesting passages " This
is not the first time that I am under • debt of L.:stand. to
Geneva for the reception which has been given to me in
free Helvetia. In 1848, when we were proscribed and
driven from our country by the tyrants it was here
on this sacred soil that we found an asylum. lam here
to-day for ► different reason. You have invited the repre-
sentatives of the democracy of the world to assemble
here. It is befitting the countrymen of Rousseau and
the descendants of Tell to give such an invitation.
The reception which you have given me perhaps makes me
too bold. Perhaps you think Garibaldi is impertinent in
gising his counsels. ("No, no, never.") But I am in
the land of liberty, and if I hesitated to speak the truth I
should deem it a sacrilege. Geneva had long ago the
boldness to attack in front that peetilential institution
called the Papacy. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) You
are justly proud of having been the first to shake Papal
Rome, that centre of idolatry and corruption : you
have giver- the first blow to the monster. I ask you to
strike it down. Italy is behind your noble country—
she has endured three hundred years of slavery, which you
have not known. It is, therefore, for us to go to Rome ;
and we shall go soon. But I reckon on you to support us
in our work, which is yours also. Have I been indiscreet!"
(No, no.)

THE BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS AT CHRSTER.—
Yesterday Lieut.-Colonel C. G. Gordon, of the Royal
Engineers, and Mr. Patrick Cumin, barrister.rat-law, two
assistant oommianioners appointed by the boundary com-
missionen for England and Wales, under the provisions of

mittee from the Town Council attended ; bat the general

take much interest in the inquiry.
LORD RIDISDALE AND MR. BIDDER.— Lord
Redemiale has written a reply to the letter of Mr. Bidder
relating to the Dunmow lire. His lordship declares that

in naming 80,0001.," he adds that the confession is diagrams.
hil, the arrangement with Mr. Brantley having been an
open one.
