GARIBALDI'S POPULARITY AT NAPLES.

We yesterday gave a letter from Naples, de-
scribing the enthusiasm with which the fête of
Garibaldi was celebrated in that city on the 7th
inst. Another letter, of the same date, says :
The Ma began last night with " Garibaldi's Hymn,"
which was sung at San Carlo, Cialdini being present. As
usual, it was received with enthusiasm ; but the feature of
the evening was the vociferous manner in which the whole
audieooe shouted out continually " A Roma !" Shortly
before 9 o'clock a deputation from the Workmen's
Society went to the railway to meet the sick and
wounded Garibaldini who are in hospital in Sorento, and
who have been invited over here for the day. I went to
meet then) towards the Carmine, and found, as I have re-
predicated several times before, that the people acted as
though they had been viewing • greeted° got up for
their amuseinentj not as though they formed • part of
it in interest. Foremast in the band were • number of the
lowest clams operatives, carrying flags with the inscription
of " A Roma" upon them, and ►t the corners of the streets,
by the by, were large placards with the same words on
the... A woman dressed in Garibaldi uniform followed,
carrying a banner with • cross at the top and the following
inscription :

"z.N.R.L
108EPtI178
NILKAZ4US,
REDLY PTukt
ITALM"

However blasphemous the comparison insinuated, it
awakened great eathusiasm,for Garibaldi is here worshipped
as no mortal man.

Then dame the Garibaldiui, sick, and lame, and maimed—
about forty in all—some on foot, others in carriages, arm-
less, or with their crutches by their side. The various
trades followed with theirrespective banners, and each had
"A Roma" upon it. It was the beginnin; of • pilgrimage
to the Holy City. As the Garibahlini entered the
Teetro del Fond. they were received with shouts of
applause and sympathy by the crowds in the pit and
boxes. But "Garibaldi" and "A Roma" were the
cries repeated continually—" A Roma con Garibaldi!" but
I heard not once, or scarcely once, the name of the Be Ga.
lantuomo shouted. Who in the south knows the King of
the Alps? His Majesty must come here and make himself
personally known, brims, and generous, and honest as he
is. As the procession entered the hand struck up the
"Hymn of Garibaldi," and drove the people, as
usual, nearly frantic. There is • depth in the
heartfelt enthusiasm of an Englishman when he
listens to "God save the Queen," which I would
nut exchange for the maddest demonstrations I ever
witnessed in Naples ; but " Hymn" seems
to deprive the people of their wits. One would
think they had been bitten by the tarantula; and time
after time it was called for with the same enthusiastic
shouts. At length the certain drew up and displayed the
back of the stage tastefully hung with banners, with the
white cross of Savoy, and • table, in the shape of • half
moon, with the principal members of the committee of the
Association of United Italy seated at it. The chair having
been taken, Signor Albarella, an advocate, and a gentleman
who is taking se active part io evangelising the Neapolitan.,
came forward and addressed the meeting with great elo.
queue. as follows
" Citizen Workmen, and Gentlemen and ladies,—' Viva
Garibaldi! viva Garibaldi Yes, ' Viva Garibaldi !' for
that name involves a recollection and • hope. After 70
years of tears and blood, on the 7th of September, 1880,
Garibaldi gave us our liberty, and if we shout his name it is
because he personifies our actual wants. The Neapolitans
are not a people to be despised, they have in pan ages been
famous in the arts, in science, and in arms, and have strug•
gled often against despotism. They wish now for • united
Italy under Victor Emmanuel, became so Garibaldi has de-
cided. This is the recollection ; now for the hope. A
Roma con Garibaldi! Yea, with Garibaldi, for he is a pure
fountain in the midst of corrupt waters ; be has hberated
from oppression ; be is the only disinterested man of the
day, and with him we will struggle for Rome for our capital,
and Vida. Emmanuel for our king, if he will be the king
sot of • party, but of the people. The assofiatiou is consti-
tuted, and let no man leave this room without giving his
•seat to the motion that Rome must be ours."

I do not interpolate the speech with the enthusiastic
cheers with which it was received. 1 can only give you an
oaths* of it, but it was worthy the reputation of the
orator. A protest against the continued occupation of
Rome by the French was announced, signed Bet by Geri.
baldi. Some verses were then well recited, which were
received with immense applause, and Signor Itinervini
made the first motion to the effect that Rome was the
property of the Italians France had Declared it,
Cavour and Itleasoli had declared it, and they knew it to
be their right." As soon as he had concluded a long speech,
which was considered a fiasco, because it spoke so much of
the French, a gentleman in the next box to me improvised
seine verses, which were well received, and then Alherella
proposed a veto in favour of a united Italy, with Rome for
the capital, under Victor Emmanuel, which was carried of
course by acclamation ; and so ended the meeting of the
Operation Society, or of the party of action.
