MEETING IN LONDON.

A meeting of the general committee of the Garibaldi
Reception and Testimonial Fund was held at the London
Tavern yesterday—Mr. Beale in the chair.
Mr J. R. TAYLOR, one of the hon. secretaries, reported
that the following resolutions, passed at a previous meeting,
had been sent to Lord Palmerston :—" That it is desirable
that the route along which the procession receiving General
Garibaldi shall pass be lined by the volunteers, and that
application be made to the proper authorities to obtain the
necessary permission; That application be made to Lord
Palmerston to receive a deputation on the above subject,
and for the purpose of obtaining his lordship's sanction of
the same ; and that in the event of his consenting to receive
a deputation, that such a deputation be instructed to ask his
lordship also to sanction, on some following day, a review
of the volunteers by General Garibaldi." To this his lord-
ship sent the following reply :—to, Downing-street, Satur-
day, April 2, 1861. Sir,—l am desired by Lord Palmerston,
in reply to your communication of the 30th ult., to say that
he will be happy to receive the deputation from the Garibaldi
Reception Committee any morning after Monday next, at
12 o'clock, at his residence in Piccadilly; but that he shall
not be able to accede to the wishes expressed in the resolu-
tions ia hick you forward, because it is essential that the
volunteers should not assume a political character, nor
become the instruments of political demonstrations.—l am,
sir, yo'ur obedient servant, Eva LYN ASHLEY. J. R. Taylor,
Esc., Esq."

The CHAIRMAN then read the draft of an address for
presentation to Garibaldi on his arrival in London, which
was unanimously agreed to.

It was also carried that as Saturday would be an incon-
venient day for the working men of London to attend and
welcome the General upon his visit to the metropolis, that
he should be asked to arrive on Monday next, which Mr.
Richardson intimated the General would readily comply
with, In London Garibaldi would be the guest of the Duke
of Sutherland fora week. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. H. G Langton, M.P., and
Mr. Beale were elected vice-chairmen, and a resolution was
passed that Mr. Crawford, M.P., should be requested to
act as chairman, and upon his declining, that the invita-
tion should extend to Mr. Goshen, M.P.

THE SHEFFIELD INUNDATION.—The melancholy
scene of the late inundation continues to be visited
by hundreds of persons daily, the greater number from dis-
tant parts of the country. On visiting Malin Bridge, Ow-
lerton, and Hillsbro' on Friday, we found a few parties of
men engaged in the work of repairing buildings that had
been partly washed down ; but the attempts at reconstruc-
tion have been, so far, very limited and partial. Lower
down the river, and in Sheffield itself, more activity is ob-
servable, and several of the forges and manufactories have
recommenced work, so far as has been practicable. The
scene of desolation at Neepsend and Hillfoot is even more
distressing than it was shortly after the flood, from the
dreary solitude which reigns in localities that were formerly
lousy and animated. From calculations which have been
made, it would seem that the flood reached and injured,
mere or less seriously, not fewer than 4,000 houses. In the
district of Neepsend alone, out of 600 houses, 400 are now
empty. The total damage to property from the scene of
the accident to a point below the borough of Sheffield,
where the destructive power of the flood may be said to
have ended, is calculated at £250,000 ; and this, of course,
is exclusive of tenants' and proprietors' claims, which will
amount to an enormous sum. The Relief Fund now amounts
to about £36,000.-11anchester Guardian.
