Garibaldi at the Crystal Palace,

It has been officially announced that on Saturday
next General Garibaldi will receive, in the centre
transept of the Crystal Palace, an address and a
presentation sword from the Italian Reception Com-
mittee. A similar sword will also be presented to
the General's son, Menotti Garibaldi.

The presentation will take place in a box or
gallery erected for the occasion at the north-west
corner of the centre transept, immediately facing
the Handel orchestra, and in full view of the public.

Prior to the presentations a great Italian concert
will be offered to the General by the principal artistes
of the Italian operas. The concert will take place in
front of the great orchestra, and from the warm
sympathy evinced towards this manifestation by
the celebrated artistes co-operating in the matter,
the occasion promises to be one of great interest.
The admission to the Palace on Saturday will be
by half-crown tickets, if purchased on or before
Friday, or by payment of ss. on the day. Such a
limited issue of reserved seats as scan be arranged
will be ready for disposal to-morrow (Tuesday)
morning.
As it is considered impossible, even with the vast
space at command at the Crystal Palace, adequately
to accommodate o❑ one day all who desire to be
present, as well as those who wish to pay their
respects to General 9aribaldi, and as it has been
Garibaldi's earnest wish that one day more easily
available to the mass of the people should be set
apart for the reception of other addresses which are
pouring in upon him from all parts, it has been
arranged that the following Monday shall be a
popular Is. day at the Palace, when Garibaldi will
receive addresses from those places which he will
be unable personally to visit.
Notice has been officially issued that on Monday
nest, the 18th of April, General Garibaldi will
receive, at the Crystal Palace, addresses from cor-
porate and other public bodies who have voted them
in public meeting assembled. It is, however, stipu-
lated that no address can be presented by a deputa-
tion of more than six persons, and unless notice has
been previously given of such address and presenta-
tion to the Garibaldi Reception Commitice, at the
Crystal Palace, not later than the evening of Friday
next, April 15.
It is also recommended that each deputation
should carry a small banner bearing the name of the
body represented, in order that the tens of thou-
sands of persons present should be made acquainted
with the name at the time of presentation.
The presentation of these addresses will take place
in front of the great orchestra, an appropriate dais,
with wide steps leading from each side, being
erected for Garibaldi in advance.

The profits arising from these great fetes will be
devoted to the Testimonial Fund.
It is anticipated that excursion trains from an
parts will run to the Palace on this occasion.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD.

The reelection of the Right Hon. E. Cardwell,
the newly appointed Secretary of State for the Co-
lonies, took place at the Town-hall, Oxford, at noon
on Saturday. There was a considerable assemblage
of electors.
Mr. Cardwell was proposed by Mr. J. Pike, ma-
gistrate, and seconded by Mr. W. Walsh. No other
candidate being nominated the right hon. gentle-
man was declared duly elected.

FIFESHIRE.
On Thursday Sir Robert Anstruther and Mr.
Thomso❑ addressed meetings in the coast towns of
the south-eastern district of the county, and Mr.
Boyd Kinnear spoke at Newburgh and Auchter-
muchty in the north-western division. On Friday
all the candidates had announced themselves to
appear at Anstruther, being the market day there,
and it was arranged that they should address the
same meeting.

Mr. BOYDKINNEAR opened the proceedings by
an announcement of his withdrawal from the con-
test. He said he had entered the field unaware
that another Liberal candidate might appear; and
he felt he could not accept the verdict of the leaders
of the party who had declared for Sir Robert An-
struther, seeing he had made his appeal not to the
leaders of the party, but to the constituency itself.
But since two Liberal candidates had come forward
it had given encouragement to the Conservatives to
enter the field, and he felt that, while he should
undoubtedly poll a great many votes, especially in
the north-western districts of the county, where be
was better known and where advanced opinions
more prevailed, he should not be certain of success
himself, but might render certain the success of the
Conservative candidate. To any course tending to
promote that result he could be no party, and he
therefore now offered the support of the advanced
Reformers to Sir R. Anstruther.

Capt. THOMSON spoke next, expressing his regret
at Mr. Kinnear's resignation, and his determination
to conduct the contest in a fair and friendly spirit
towards his hon. opponent and relative.
Sir R. ANSTRUTHER thanked Mr. Kinnear for
having studied the interests of the Liberal party
rather than personal considerations, as he believed
the only hope of the Conservatives gaining Fife
was that the Liberals should be disunited.
On Saturday, at Kirk aldy, both the candidates held
largely attended meetings, the Liberal meeting under
the presidency of the provost, being very enthusi-
astic. The Sheriff has appointed Tuesday, the
19th inst., for the nomination, and the day follow-
sng for the poll, if demanded. It is fully expected
that the Conservative candidate will go to the poll.
In thu course of the present week the candidate
will continue their meetings in different parts of
the county. The contest has hitherto been con-
ducted in an excellent spirit and with much inter-
change of courtesy.
