Garibaldi and the " Moniteur,"

The Moniteur, which never once condescended to
notice Garibaldi's reception in England, except to
contradict the rumours connected with the General's
hurried departure, prints in large type in its im.•
pression of yesterday, the following letter, dated
Florence, April 28 :—" The meetings organisLd in
Italy for the purpose of thanking the English
people for the welcome given to Garibaldi have
merely met with hostile indifference here among the
great mass of the population. The public good
sense has no difficulty in understanding that what
is taking place in England can be of no utility to
Italy or to its Government, from which it cannot
be separated. People ask, in the name of what
principle can English statesmen explain the wel-
come accorded to a personage who has the preten,
sion to place himself above the laws cf his country
and his Sovereign? Unfortunately, no illusions
respecting Garibaldi are any lcn.ger possible after
the discourse he has addressed to Mazzini. All who
preserved some lingering interest in the General
feared the understanding which has just been
arrived at, the consequence of which should im-
pose renewed vigilance upon the Italian Govern-
ment."

GENERAL GARIBALDI.—At a meeting of the
Common Council yesterday; the town clerk read a
letter he had received from the Duke of Sutherland, re-
questing him to convey to the Court his acknowledgment
of the honour it had conferred upon him by passing a re-
solution of thanks to himself and the duchess for entertain-
ing General Garibaldi in so hospitable a manner during
his short stay in England, The letter concluded by stat-
ing that it was unnecessary for the noble duke or the
duchess to add that both felt Oa greatest satisfaction at
entertaining a person so distinguished for his public and
private virtues as the illustrious general. A similar letter
was read from Mr. Seely, M.P., and both communications
were ordered to be entered upon the journals of the Court.
The Lord Mayor also received atothe Mansion-house yes-
terday two letters from Italy—one signed Luigi Savoraui,
and dated from Modiglia, and the other signed Campiotto
Giuseppe, dated from Varesse—the former containing the
thanks of the operatives and artisans of that city for the
kindness shown by the English people to General Garibaldi,
and the latter thanking the corporation for the presentation
to Garibaldi of the freedom of the City of London, The
Lord Mayor also received in the course of the day telegrams
from Santa Maria Capua, signed by Scindaco Silvestro
Capullo ; from Caltaniaetta, signed by Sindaco Luigi
Calepti; and from CatanzalJ, signed Deriso, Sindaca, all
expressing the grateful thanks of the inhabitants of trios()
municipalities for the warm and generous reception with
which Garibaldi was met by the English public.
THE ROYAL SOCIETY.--Among the eminent
physicians who will, it is understood, be reconr•
mended by the Council of the Royal Society for the honour
of a Fellowship, Dr. Jenner, it is believed, has the best
chance of being elected. Dr. Jenner, says the Lancet,
"has high claims mainly as a scientific physician, and the
recognition of great eminence in the science of medicine as
a just ground of election into the Royal Society may be re-
ceived mid) Stiefftction,"
