GARIBALDI SHEWN THE DOOR ?

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

Presentation of the Freedom of the City of
London to Garibaldi,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Two ATTEMPTED SUICIDES.—Thomas Stewart, an old
man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to
commit suicide by drowning in the Serpentine.
One of the boatmen of the Royal Humane Society de-
posed that hearing cries for assistance from persons on the
shore of the Serpentine, he rowed up in his boat and found
the defendant in the water—which at, the spot was not less
than six feet deep--in a state of insensibility. He imme-
diately got him out and took him ashore to the society's
receiving house.
In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the boatman said that the de-
fendant was 30 yards from the shore when he rescued him.
Mr Tyrwhitt asked the poor follow what he had to say to
the charge, and he replied that ho was in a state of poverty,
and that had induced him to do it. He had been out of work
for six weeks, and had not a relative in the world.
Mr Tyrwhitt remanded him for a week.
Adolph Arondel, a young Frenchman, charged with
attempting to destroy his life by hanging himself; was again
brought before Mr Tyrwhitt.
Since the defendant has been remanded, his family have
been communicated with in France, and his father attending
to-day he was given up to him.

(THIS DAY.)

General Garibaldi, to-day, met with another ova-
tion in his progress from Prince's-gate to the
Guildhall to receive the freedom of the city of Lon-
don. At a very early hour large numbers of the
metropolitan police were posted on the different
points in the line of route, but on this occa-
sion they were placed in clusters at the en-
trances of the principal streets, and not in
the usual way, when they are called upon to
keep clear any particular road for a public proces-
sion. The excitement occasioned by the rumour of
Garibaldi's abrupt determination to quit England,
although officially dontradicted in both Houses of
Parliament last night as being in any way con-
nected with politic Al reasons, no doubt greatly
augmented the crowds of persons assembled, and
opinions were freely discussed as to the real nature
of the necessity that had led General Garibaldi to
forego his proposed visit to the principal towns and
cities in the United Kingdom. The spectators
assembled.eliansiiers;'• ire road, from Mr. Seeiey's
to the HOWELL, JAMES, and Co., Go'irge, were as

form, delivered the freedom, enclosed in a gold box,
to the General, who, Et the conclusion of the cheer-
ing, replied, and than:ed the citizens of London for
the honour they had conferred upon him, and also
expressed the gratifiratio❑ his visit to England had
afforded him, where he had received nothing but
honour from the bravest and noblest people in the
world.

The instant the flag fell Perseverance held a slight lead,
with Revolt and Little Dick close up, Fontenoy and Fletton
half a dozen lengths from the leading trio, until descending

MARSETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Frssh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were moderate. The trade for all qualities
was in a sluggish state, at Monday's decline in the quota-
tions of is per quarter.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was by no
means extensive. Dautzic wheat was held at quite pre-
vious rates; otherwise the foreign trade was dull, at barely
late rates.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at previous
quotations.
For all descriptions of barley the trade ruled heavy, at
fully the late decline in the currency. The show of sam-
ples on offer was tolerably large.
Malt sold heavy, at the late decline in the currency.
For oats there is a moderate inquiry, about stationary
prices. The market was fairly supplied with most descrip-
tions.

Beans and peas ruled firm, at extreme rates.
In flour a moderate business was transacted, at previous
quotations.

Mutinous Outbreak at the Castle Howard
_----- -..—____

An outbreak of the. most serious nature, but fortunately
not resulting in sacrifice of life, occurred at the Castle
Howard Reformatory about six o'clock on Sunday evening.
It seems some ill-feeling had been engendered among the
inmates against the labour master,
who is stated to have
whipped some of the lads. From the circumstances, it
would seem a favourable opportunity had been waited for
revenge, and ou Sunday the Rev. Ishmael Fish, M.A,, the

It appears, however, that 'more than one-half of those
concerned in the riot repented early, and did not leave
the place, but a regular hue and cry was raised after
those who had absconded, and as they had all set
off in tho direction of the Castle Howard Woods,
almost all the inhabitants of Welburn village joined in the
pursuit. The result was, that by 8 o'clock six of the runa-
ways were retaken. A messenger was despatched to Mahon
for the aid of the police, and Superintendent Walmsley,
with constables, at once set off to the reformatory, and on
the way met and captured one of the lads. Before midnight
all save a lad named Heaton were captured, and six of the
ringleaders, named Arnold, Hill, Davis, Walker, Pollard,
and another were placed in custody at the Mallon police-
station. Two others—West and Gibson—were confined in
cells of the reformatory. A reward was promptly issued for
the capture of Heaton, who is supposed to have made for
the coast. The narratives of escapes from the extemporised
truncheons of the rioters used against the officers are really
marvellous. The only person seriously injured is the
schoolmaster, who was attacked with fire-irons, which it
appears had been made red-hot. By seizing them to defend
himself, he is much burnt about the hands and arms. By
midnight the riot was entirely quelled, and the prisoners
await their examination before the Melton Bench.

LORD PALMERSTON, IN THE HOUSE OF COM-
MONS, in answer to Mr. D. Griffith :
"I have been told that it has been reported in different
quarters of the town that the termination of General Gari-
baldi's visit to this country earlier than was expected was
the result of some suggestion coming from her Majesty's
Government, and that it had been dictated by a communi-
cation received from the Emperor of the French. It is no
Use mincing the matter. (Cheers and laughter.) All I
Can say is, that THOSE WHO HAVE SPREAD OR BELIEVE IN

THAT REPORT HAVE DONE A GREAT INJUSTICE BOTH TO
THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH AND HER MAJESTY'S
GOVERNMENT. The Emperor of the French is, lam quite
sure, too high-minded and of too generous a character to
have many any such application to her Majesty's Govern-
ment, and I need not, I trust, say that any Government of
this country receiving such a communication from any
foreign Government tending to beat upon purely domestic
considerations, would no doubt have very civilly, and at the
same time very firmly, resisted and repelled any such sug-
gestion."

going? I will tell you. A member of the Government (I
caa name him to you) has been to him and told bin: that
his presence here, in this country, is an embarrassment for
the Government, because the Emperor of the French re•
fuses the entente cordiale with England so long as his
enemy (so General Gazibaldi is designated) remains in this
country. And the general, amazed at the possibility of
English statesmen being coerced by French influence,
shrugs his shoulders, and says--." Very well, then ; I go,"
PROFESSOR PERGUSSON—the eminent surgeon—
in a letter to the Duke of Sutherland :
"I certainly cannot take it upon me, as a professional
man, to say that HE IS UNFIT TO UNDERTAKE ANY OF
HIS ENGAGEMENTS IN THIS COUNTRY but I have no
hesitation in stating my firm conviction that by much work
of the kind he would incur great and serious rikk."
DOCTOR G. BASlLE—Garibaidi's own surgeon—
in a letter already published in The Sun :
" I feel bound, as the physician in regular attendance
upon the general, to affirm that HIS HEALTH IS PEEFECTLY
SATISFACTORY, and his wound—since four or five months
cicatrised—no longer requires surgical care. I make this
statement with greater confidence, inasmuch as it was eon-

firmed on the occasion of his first consultation by Dr. Fer-
gusson himself, and still more recently by Dr. Partridge."
A REPORTER (to the Standard), who was present

at the meeting
:
"Mr. James Cowen, of Newcastle-on-Tyne--the oldest
English friend of the general, and who has great influence
over him, having been summoned to London, arrived at an
early hour yesterday morning, and a meeting was convened
at the house of Mr. Ashurst, the solicitor, another old
friend of the general. This meeting took place at 12 o'clook
yesterday, and was attended by GENERAL GARIBALDI,
SIGNORS MAZZINI, SAFFI, Guecione, Messrs. Cowen,
HOLYOAKE, Ashurst, and a number of English and Italian
friends of the General. The approaching departure of
the general, and the cause leading to it were freely
discussed. In the course of the discussion IT WAS STATED
ON AUTHORITY THAT AN INFLUENTIAL MEMBER OF THE

GOVERNMENT HAD VISITED GARIBALDI AT STAFFORD
HOUSE ON SUNDAY NIGHT, AND THEN INFORMED HIM
THAT THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH HAD DECLARED
THAT SO LONG AS HE (GARIBALDI) REMAINED IN ENG-
LAND, RECEIVING THE OVATIONS OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE,
IT 'WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO ENTER INTO ANY

CORDIAL RELATIONS WITH THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT ;
that this, taken in connection with the forthcoming con-
ference, placed the English Cabinet in an awkward posi-
tion; and that therefore he (Garibaldi) would servo the
English Government materially by foregoing his intended
visit to the provinces, and depart for Italy on Friday next.
Garibaldi was surprised and indignant at this request at
first, but on reflection, with that amiability of character
which characterises him, acceded to the wishes of the Go-
vernment rather than occasion them any embarrassment.
THE SUBSTANCE OF THE ABOVE STATEMENT WAS AC-
CEPTED AS TRUE BY THE MEETING, NO ONE PRESENT
[And, remember, Garibaldi himself is stated above to have
been there] HAVING CONTRADICTED IT, although more than
one person was in a position to do so had it been incorrect.
It was felt by all that this conduct of the Government, in
truckling to the Emperor of the French, was not only an
insult to Garibaldi but to the whole people of England,
whose guest he was, and it was resolved that immediate ac-
tion should be taken to induce General Garibaldi to recon-
sider his determination—to the extent at least of visiting
some of the larger towns on his list of engagements. Gen.
Garibaldi at this period left the meeting, saying he was in
the hands of his friends and the people of England.

The Duke of Sutherland and Mr. Seely present
their compliments to the Editor of The sun, and
beg leave to enclose copies of letters from Mr. Fer-
gusson, the eminent surgeon, relative to the health
of General Garibaldi.
In consequence of these certificates the general
will be compelled to forego his provincial tour and
to leave London on Friday morning. He will em-
bark on board the Duke of Sutherland's yacht, and
will be taken by the Duke to his residence in
Caprera
:
(Copy.) (Private.) •
16, George-street, Hanover-square, April 17.
My Lord Duke,—l see by the papers a gradually extend-
ing list of places which General Garibaldi has promised to
visit during his brief stay in this country, and have reason
to know that the list is rapidly increasing.
As the general has done me the honour of consulting me
regarding his health, I take the liberty of stating to you, as
one of his warmest English friends, that I should greatly
dread the effect of so much continued excitement as these
intended visits imply. I doubt if the strongest couit endure
so much ; and if you have any influence with the ge:ieral
(as doubtless you must have) I implore you to do your bet;.t
to set aside much of this intended fatigue, as already I have
noticed occasional indications of fatigue; and, considering
the usual habits of my illustrious patient, I must say that I
should dread the effects upon both his constitution and his
limbs, for the sound one must suffer in the efforts to save
the wounded, and were he to suffer in health in the way re-
forred to it would be a cause of deep grief to your grace and
to his admirers and friends, not only in England, but
throughout the world.
I have marked this note " private," but should your
grace feel impressed with what I have stated, you may
show it to the general and to others interested. I have the
honour to remain, your grace's most obedient servant,

WIC FERGUSSON.
To his Graco the Duke of Sutherland.

16, George-atreat, Hanover-square, April 18.

My Lord Duke,—With reference to my communication
of yesterday I beg to state that I have had an interview
with General Garibaldi this morning, and have spoken
with him directly on the subject. Ho admits that he is
fatigued, and he certainly does not appear so fresh as when
he arrived from the Isle of Wight.
On several occasions he has spoken of the excitement and
bustle around as being so different from all about him in the
ordinary tenor of his lite ; and this morning he referred
particularly to mental exhaustion from excitement more
than to physical weakness.
I certainly cannot take it upon me, as a professional man,
to say that he is unfit to undertake any of his engagements
in this country ; but I have no hesitation in stating my firm
conviction that by much work of the kind he would incur
great and serious risk. Such, I believe, is the General's
own opinion on the subject, and, if doubts remain, it might
be advisable to call a consultation of several eminent pro-
' fessional men in London.—l have the honour to remain,
your grace's obedient servant. Wm. FERGUSSON.
To his Grace the Duke of Sutherland.

V., George street, Hanover•equare, April 17.

My dear Dir. Seely,—l see by the papers that the Gene-
ral is engaging himself in all directions. The fatigue must
be enormous. No professional man could answer for it,
unless, indeed, it ware to say that it would kill the
strongest.
I have written to this effect to the Duke of Sutherland,
and as Garibalii is in a manner your guest more than of
any other man's, and as you have displayed to me so kind
an interest :n his health, I write to say that I think it
incumbent on you and his other friends in England to
suggest some such arrangements as shall save his person
from the fatigue these various provincial visits imply.—
Believe me, yours very sincerely,
C. Seely, Esq., M.P.

WM, FERGUSSON.
