The Reception of Garibaldi,

A crowded meeting of the General Committee of
Trade and Friendly Society Delegates, forming the
Working Men's Garibaldi Demonstration and Tes-
timonial Committee, was held last night at the
Wbittingtor, Glib, Strand. About 200 delegates
were present; Mr. G. Odgers occupied the chair.
The deputation, who had visited Southampton to
invite Garibaldi to meet the working men of the
metropolis, then reported the result of their mis-
sion. After some difficulty they had succeeded in
obtaining an interview with Garibaldi at the house
of the Mayor of Southampton, when he expressed
his strong desire to meet the working men of Lan-
don and his great pleasure at receiving a deput.tion
from them. He said it had been arranged he should
proceed on Saturday next, on a visit to the Duke of
Sutherland at London, where he should probably
have the pleasure of meeting his friends of the
working classes. The deputation expressed their
thcided opinion that. Garibaldi was being worked
upon by sinister influences to isolate himself as much
as possible from the people, and especially from the
working classes. They had come to this opinion
from seeing the gross intriguing ”nd manosavring
going on among the persons surrounding him at
Seuthampton, and trusted the London committees
would not allow themselves to be played with. They
thought that Mr. Seely, M.P., who had been at the
expense of bringi, g Garibaldi and suite to this
country, had been most scurvily treated. They had
reported the result of their observations to the City
Committee, who had that day taken effecudl steps
to remove Garibaldi from the trammels with which
an attempt had been made to encompass him. The
result of this movement would be communicated to
the London committees this morning by telegram.
The deputation concluded by stating they bad
been received during their three days' stay ar
Southampton in the most courteous manner by tht
Mayor and the municipal authorities. The Secre-
tary stated that, as at present arranged, Garibaldi
would arrive at the Nice Elms Station on Saturday
next, abont three o'clock, but the result of a tele
gram expected at London tnis day, might fix
Monday, at the same hour of the day. It wow()
be well, however, to be prepared for the earlier
day ; but. both the City Committee and this com
mittee were working for Monday. The ground a:
the station had been marked out by the sub com-
mittee, in conjunction with the railway author
ties, and a temporary patform would be erected on
which Garibaldi would receive the various ad-
dresses, to which ceremony previous to the pro
cession, the public would be admitted by tickets
only. A full programme of the whole proceedings
would be published on Thursday morning, by whice
time the day of arrival would be definitely fixed.

GARIBALDI IN THE ISLE OF wrGiu.
BROOKE, ISLE OF WIGHT, luesday Morning.
We took a private road, and avoided villages in
our 15 miles' drive from Cowes to Brooke. No%
and then a middy found us out, and rode frantically
past us and back again to catch a sight. of the Gene-
ral. The electric chain of intelligence was snapped
after leaving Cowes: few people were aware of
Garibaldi's presence. At three places t le clergymen
were watching for the carri4ge, and uncovered as it
pissed. Near Brooke, dairymaids began to sck:mpei
out and labourers to rush up,and the General alvvay,
returned the sain es of the labourers. Scarcely
a dozen pert-ons stood at the gates at Brooke
Toe hour of his arrival was unknown. At every
point people were driving down lanes, and rushing
on foot, too late to see the illustrious visitor. Great
disappointment is expressed that Mr. Seely did not
e4ct to take the General through the villages.
Some men had travelled 17 miles to catch sight of
and arrived ton late, as he came in at Brooke
earlier than way expected. No doubt Mr. Seely
