GENERAL GARIBALDI,

The departure of General Garibaldi from the Isle of
Wight is now postponed from Saturday until Monday, on
which day he will arrive in London at the Nine Elms Sta-
tion, by the train due there at 20 minutes past 2 o'clock.
The General continues to receive visitors at Brook House,
the residence of his entertainer, Mr. Seely, M.P., and has
up to the present time been very little out of doors, in con-
sequence of the unfavourable state of the weather. His
sons, Menotti and Riceotti, accompanied by Signor Basso,
have paid a second visit to Southampton, for the purpose of
viewing the town more at their leisure. They were expected
to return yesterday afternoon to Brook. It is understood
that the Southampton civic body has judiciously decided
not to put any pressure on Garibaldi in respect of the
banquet proposed to be given is that town. The Gene-
ral will be invited on the condition that his acceptance
will not inconvenience him, or seriously interfere with his

plans.
When Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson came to Brook, Mrs,
Seely asked the General whether he would go down and
meet them, or receive the visit in his room. He elected in
favour of the last named course, as he moves with evident
pain and difficulty. At dinner on Monday, when the ladies
rose, the General offered Mrs. Seely his arm, as he led
her from the drawing room. It was explained to him that
in England gentlemen usually remained at table fora short

time, but he might do as he pleased. "Then I please to
go," said Garibaldi, and he went. His usual hour of retir-
ing to rest is 9 o'clock, and he did net depart from this
custom on the first occasion of his meeting company at
Brook House. He was, in fact, more in need of repose on
that day than on any other.

Yesterday, Mr. J. T. Norris, one of the representatives
in the Court of Common Council for the Ward of Alders-
gate, gave notice to the Lord Mayor that, when Mr.
Richardson proposes the motion which stands on the paper,
viz., " That the honorary freedom of the City be presented
to General Garibaldi on the occasion of his visit to this
country, as a slight tribute of respect to the most generous,
best, and most disinterested of patriots, he should move as
an amendment, " the previous question."
A large meeting of German residents in this country was
held on Tuesday, in the,A.ssembly-rooms, Finsbury-square,
for the purpose of deciding upon the steps to be taken to
welcome Garibaldi to England in the name of the German
community of London. Some introductory remarks having
been made by Dr. Ernst Juch, Herr Karl Blind was called
to the chair. He opened the meeting in a speech of some
length, commenting on the gratitude which every friend of
freedom owed to Garibaldi, no matter what his nationality;
of the General's popularity in this country ; and of the de-
sirability of all uniting to accord him a hearty welcome.
Germans, the speaker said, were peculiarly bound to show
their appreciation of those who had the welfare of nations
and peoples at heart. As they sympathised with the
Schleswig-Holsteiners under the foreign rule of Denmark,
so they sympathised with the Venetians crushed under the
yoke of the German Hapsburgs. These remarks were re-
ceived with loud cheers; and Herr Blind then proposed an
address to Garibaldi. A committee having been appointed
an address was agreed to, and Herr Karl Blind was elected
representative for the occasion of the London Germans, and
directed to put himself into communication with the Lon-
don Garibaldi Committee.

At a meeting of the Birmingham Town Council on Tues-
day, the Mayor, Mr. W. Holliday, moved—" That this
council, desirous of expressing its high admiration of the
noble character of General Garibaldi, and of his unselfish de •
votion to the cause of liberty, resolve to invite the General
to visit Birmingham during his stay in England ; and that
the mayor be requested to convey the invitation to General
Garibaldi in the name of the council." Alderman Ryland
was glad to have the privilege and pleasure of seconding
the resolution, which he felt sure would express the uni-
versal sentiment of the town. He thought there was not a
man in the town, be he Tory or be he Radical, who would
not rejoice in doing honour to the great and good Gari-
baldi, whose exalted virtues, noble patriotism, and unselfish
heroism had won for him the love and admiration of all.
The Mayor then proposed—" That the general purposes
committee be instructed to make the necessary arrange-
ments for the proper reception of General Garibaldi, and
that for such purpose they be authorised to associate them-
selves with gentlemen not in the town council." Alder-
man Hawkes seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.
