power tc" terminate the era of revolutions" is in the keep-
ing of rulers end at their own disposal.
And now, sr, permit me the privilege of offering you the
right hand of fellowship as a citizen of London, requesting
your acceptance in the name of the Corporation of this sou-
yew of your risit to their city, We regret exceedingly, in
common with our fellow-countrymen, that having been too
demonstrative in our affection, having "loved you not
wisely, but too well," your health renders it expedient that
your visit should terminate. Let us hope, in the language
of the Prime Minister, " that the early termination of your
visit and your foregoing the honours which awaited you in
every town in this country, however disappointing to those
who admire you, may have the effect of preserving to your
country so valuable a life."

In the name of his :ordship in the chair, of his brethren
the aldermen, and of every member of this court, I express
a fervent hope that the invigorating air of cur northern cli-
mate will be found to have contributed strength and sound-
ness to your enfeebled limb, and may the unbought spon-
taneous love and welcome of a free people impart fresh nerve
to your arm, and brace your patriotic heart for any work,
for Italy or for the world, whi:l Providence may yet have
in store for you.

The Chamberlain then, i❑ the prescribed form,
delivered the frecdcm, enclosed in a gold boa,
to the General, who, at the concluiion of the cheer-
ing, replied, and thanked the citizens of London for
the honour they had conferred upon him, and also
expressed the gratificatio❑ his visit to England had
afforded him, where he had received nothing but
honour from the bravest and noblest people in the
world.

The General then, with his suite, returned and
proceeded to the Mansion-house, where a luncheon
was prepared, and a whole host of guests invited to
receive him.

The General returned to Princes-gate by Moor-
gate-street, into the City-road, up to the Angel,
along Pentonville-hill and Pentonville-road, by way
of King's cross to Euston-road, Euston-square, and
Marylebone-road, turring southwards down Port.

street and Hyde Park.
The casket in which the freedom was deroaitcd
is of solid gold, and weighed nearly 18 ounces,
is of a very simple character, rising with what is
called technically an "ogee" projections carrying
its ornaments over the whole of the lid, which is
decorated with elaborately foliated scrolls, Bur-
reunding an emblazonment of the City arms. In
front is an ornament in diamonds, containing what
the general himself has called, not his coat of arms,
or heraldic bearings, which he does not profess that
his family ever Fossessed, but " the family mark" of
a star with five points, in the centre of which is the
initial of the surname," he having expressed a
hope that the City would think proper so far to iden-
tify the gift in connection with the emblems adopted
by his family. In 01 her respects the box is massive
and simple. On the inner side of the lid is engraved
the following inscription :
"Lawrence, Mayor.—A Common Council holden
in the chamber of the Guildhall of the City of Lon-
don, on Thursday, the 7th day of April, 1864.
" Resolved,—That the Honorary Freedom of the
City be presented to General Giuseppe Garibaldi,
on the occasion of his visit to the City, as a tribute
of respect to the most generous, brave, and disin-
terested of patriots ; and that the same be presented
to him in a gold box of the value of one hundrel
guineas. " WOODTHORPE."

[The courtesy of a ticket of admission to
the Council Chamber was not extended to some
of the r,presentatives of the daily journals, and
consequently many were left dependent upon the
kindness of friends for their information. When the
ancient prici!eges of the corporation are in danger,
either in Parliament or elsewhere (as in the case of
the amalgamation of the city and metropolitan
police), then the representatives of the London
press are to a man treated with very marked
attention l]
