was proceeding in a carriage, ineogsit,, to the New York
Hotel, when he was recognised by a group of volunteers in
the street. They immediately nut after the carriage, *boat-
ing, It is he! it is ha! Garibaldi for ever:' You may
imagine what a oort4re was collected by the time the
carriage had reached the centre of the town. It was
• display of tens popular enthusiasm. The news
ran from .boot to street, from home to house,
and Ina abort time Garibaldi's name was in army mouth.
All the windows were instantly decorated with dogs. The
street where Garibaldi's hotel 'Undo is crowded with people
docking thither from all quarters. He was forced to appear
several times on the balcony, when he was cheered with an
enthusiasm that defies description. Although he has got
over his inner, he still entrees from weakness in the legs,
owing to an attack of rheumatism. The government sent to
compliment Garibaldi as soon as he ahived. This afternoon
he will viidt Y. W.ClllOli, the predawn of the council."

MOM al OCCASIONAL

GENOA, Arnim 15.
Garibaldi arrived here on Saturday afternoon,
and embarked the same evening for Leghorn. His
coming was unannounced, and he intended to pus
through incognito ; but he was recognised on his
way to the steamer, and vehemently cheered. He
goes to take the command in chief of the forces of
the four confederated States of Central Italy—Parma,
Modena, Tuscany, and Romagna. lam told by •
friend of his that he anticipates, notwithstanding all
diplomatic assurances to the contrary, that armed
intervention will be had recourse to, if the moral
influences now working in favour of the Dukes
should fail in their object. Under such a leader let
us hope the League of the Four States will be as
fruitful in great results, and hold as proud a place
in biota, as the League of the Twenty Cities
against Frederic Barbarossa, which, crowned by. the
victory of Legnano, ushered in the three centuries of
Italian independence.
The order of the day from Bergamo, in which the
General announces his departure, is characteristically
laconic. He neither says where he is going, nor
what he is going to do, but simply states, " I am
now obliged to retire from the service ;" and then
acquainting his troops that General Pomaretto has
been appointed by his Majesty to succeed him, con-
cludes by a recommendation of strict discipline and
seal in acquiring that skill in arms which will
qualify them fora distinguished post when they will
have to face the enemies of their country. Not-
withstanding the silence discreetly maintained by
the Piedmontese press, it is generally surmised that
be not only has the King's consent, but his full ap-
probation, for the step he has taken. Victor Em-
manuel'a personal sentiments are no secret; in spite
of all court reserve, it is well known that some very
warm words escaped from the Rd Cialantuomo, when
solicited by M. de Reiset to join France in the moral
pressure exercised in Central Italy.
A great panic has seized upon the liberal party. in
Genoa. They dread that if France fails in producing
the pacific re-installation of the deposed princes,
she will intrigue for the election of Prince Napoleon.
I was told to-day by a quondam Mszxinian that he
and other political friends have been writing to
warn the Tuscans of these designs, and exhort
them not to be diverted from giving . their votes
to Victor Emmanuel. Even should their choice not
be ratified by Europe, it will remain as a solemn
testimony of union among themselves, and confi-
dence in the King.
Another notable tribute to Victor Emmanuel has
just been paid by Guerszzi, the fantastic and hot-
headed demagogue of PHIL In a pamphlet called
" Advice to the Tuscans," which appeared last week,
the head of the short-lived Florentine republic re-
-1 commends his countrymen to annex themselves to
Piedmont, and to rally round the sovereign whose
word has never been belied. _ _ .

A grand service was celebrated in our cathedral on
Saturday, by order of the municipality, for the
repose of the souls of the Italian and French soldiers
who fell in the late campaign. More reverence was
discernible in the crowds who thronged the magnifi-
cent old pile than is often seen in religions cere-
monies now-a-days in Italy. I could not
help being struck by some of the memo-1
rial inscriptions, which showed plainly bow
little reliance is placed oa a peaceful solution of the
question now pending. One acted with the prayer,
" that the blood of the slain might be fruitful for
Italy's entire liberation." The comment. of the
Movitnento, the most popular of the Genoese papers,
upon the scene are still more significant; it being but
reasonable to infer, under existing restrictions, that
they would not have been suffered to appear if dis-
approved of. " No, brave warriors," it exclaims,
apostrophising the departed, " the land which
you believed you had freed when you ren-
dered up your last sigh at Bolferino, is still
enslaved . . . Venice cannot come to weep
over your graves. . . 'The work you thought
you had finished,it is now our duty to complete" ....
and so on. What will come of all this, and what
are 80,000 French to be left for on the Mincio? To
set against Austria with her 200,000 troops in Ve-
netia this forces too small; some ay it looks mar:

vallonsly well adapted fur Central Itil7. As a sort
of set off against these black suspicions, we have
the town in gala to-day oat of compliment to oar
Allies. It is the Assumption of the Virgin, always
I kept as a strict holiday ; brsidee which we are 001,-
1 beating the Fete Napoli:ca. The Syndic has begged
the Genoese in a formal notice to do due honour to
the august head of the French nation by a_gcneral
illumination, and other marks of festivity. There is
nothing festive, however, in people's hesrte, and
these manifestations of rejoicing, though necessitated
by prudence, promise to be very languid.
