Men's Reception Commitee, waited by appointment
on General Garibaldi at Stafford-house, for the pun
pose of inviting him to a soiree intended to be given
by the working men of London, and to which Sig-
nors Mazzini and Saffi wculd also be invited. The
General received the deputation in the most warm
and affectionate manner, and heartily thanked the
working men for the reception they had given to
him on Monday last. He said nothing would give
him so much pleasure as to be able to accept the
invitation given to him; but, unfortunately, the
whole of his time was ailed up to the date of his
leaving London on Friday next to fulfil his provin-
cial engagements. If, however, he was able to
return to London before departing from England,
he should be delighted to accept the invitation.
The General then entered into a long conversation
with the deputation on various subjects, and con-
cluded by expressing his strong desire to visit the
brewery of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins and see the
workmen employed in that establishment. The
deputation at once offered to place themselves in
communicati,ii with that firm, an offer which was
accepted by the General, The deputation then left,
having thanked the General for his kind reception,
and proceeded to the brewery, where, having com-
municated to the manager the desire of the General,
one of the partners proceeded to Stafford •house for
the purpose of giving him a formal invitation, and
it was arranged that he should visit the establish-
ment this morning, at an hour when the majority
of the men would be on the premises. The General
appeared highly delighted with the prospect of the
visit. He will be accompanied by the Working
Men's deputation and some members of his suite.

Yesterday a deputation from the Reform Club,
consisting of Mr. Guildford Onslow, M.P., Mr.
Otway, and Mr. Adams Smith, waited upon General
Garibaldi at Stafford house, in order to invite him
to a banquet at the Club, when he was pleased to
accept the same for Thursday next.
A meeting was held in the Committee-room of the
Town-hall, Birmingham, yesterday (convened by
the Mayor), for the purpose of obtaining the co-ope-
ration of the inhabitants generally with the Gene-
ral Purposes Committee of the Town Council in
making the necessary arrangements for the recep-
tion of General Garibaldi on the occasion of his visit
to the borough. The attendance was numerous and
influential; a strong committee was nominated, from
whom eight are to be selected, who are to co-operate
as above stated. A vote of thanks was passed to the
Mayor for the `promptitude displayed by him in
obtaining an interview with Garibaldi, and convey_
ing to him the invitation of the Town Council. Tne
General will be the guest of his Worship while in
Birmingham at Chad Valley, Edgbaston.
The rival parties at Manchester anxious to honour
Garibaldi have both reason to be satisfied. While
the General told the deputation from the Corpora-
tion that he had previously accepted the hospitality
of Mrs. Schwabe during his stay at Manchester, he
accepted the invitation of the Corporation to a
dejeuncr at the Town-hall. The Reception Com-
mittee who forwarded the first invitation were to
have a meeting yesterday evening to determine or
a programme of the proceedings for the v-
euolic re-
ception. He is expected to ay'
.Ave on Saturday
week, and sta3 till Monde—
./ evening or Tuesday.
