is one of the yacht's beats, and Colonel Peard and
a party of gentlemen accompanied him alongside
the yacht in Commander Brine's gig. parting,
the General desired Colonel Peard to exress to his
countrymen how highly he feat his reception in
England, and to tell them that the impression made
upon him would never be effaced. lo the Coast-
guardmen who manned Captain Brine's gig he
kindly referred, expressing his admiration of the
British navy; and the last adieux of the General
were vivas for England. The Undine got under
weigh at 9.30, and steamed down the harbour, a
salute being fired in honour of the General from the
Fowry battery by a company of the local Volunteer
Arti lery. Oa clearing the harbour, the Undine
set her staysails, and proceeded with a fair wind
heading for Ushant. She is expected to pass
through the Straits of Gibraltar in about six days.

PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Night.

The Undine had bad weather in the Caannel. She
rolled violently when off Falmouth, and was obliged
to bear up and run into St. Mawes in the after-
noon. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood held
a meeting for presenting an address to General
Garibaldi ; but on inquiring on board the yacht the
time which would be convenient for its presentation,
they were told that the General was anxious to
proceed on his voyage, and that the yacht would
leave on Thursday morning at daylight.

GARIBALDI AT PEN QUITE.
(From the Western -fro niny Sews.)

Soon after 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning the domain
of Pecquite became the focus of attraction to persons
anxious to see Garibaldi. They came flocking towards
it from all directions, and in all sorts of vehicles;
and not only the villages immediately contiguous,
but some of the adjoining towns, appeared almost
drained of inhabitants. At St. Austell,on Monday,
the shops, with barely an exception, were shut, and
high holiday was kept. A similar spirit, though
not to the same extent, prevailed on Tuesday in
that and other towns. The result was that in the
latter part of the afternoon several thousands of
persons must have been congregated at Penquite.
General Garibaldi, being much fatigued by his
journey, did not rise on Tuesday morning until
after eleven o'clock. Great desire was expressed
by numbers of people to obtain admission to the
house and immediately contiguous grounds at even
an earlier hour, but the entrances were strictly
guarded by the police. The General, however,
took the earliest opportunity of satisfying the public
wishes, and drove out shortly before one o'clock in
a landau, accompanied by Colonel and Mrs. Peard.
He proceeded through Tywardreath to Par at an
easy pace, and everywhere received the most en-
thusiastic greetings. Large numbers of people
gathered at all the prominent points on the line of
route, and amongst those at Tywardreath was a
deputation from Helston. By the train reaching Par
at 12,5, there arrived the representatives of the in.
habitants of Plymouth and Devonport, with their
respective addresses for presentation. Numerous
visitors of distinction who had been invited by
Colonel Peard to meet his gallant guest likewise
arrived at intervals during the afternoon. About
half-past two a cheer faintly perceptible in the dis-
tance, but growing in intensity every moment, told
that the General was on his return and near at hand,
and in a few minutes the carriage dashed up, and
Garibaldi alighted amid the stentorian hurrahs of
the large concourse gathered round the door. On
entering the hall he bowed his acknowledgments to
the party there assembled, and having leaned as if
tired for a minute or two agaiust a side table, pro-
ceeded upstairs to prepare himself after his drive
for the reception of the deputations, who meanwhile
assembled in the library, In about a quarter
of an hour the General descended the stair-
case, in doing which the effect of his wound was
made painfully apparent, as he walked, although
assisted by a stick, with considerable lameness.
Entering the library he took up his position at the
head of the room, looking the very impersonation
of manly dignity. He was dressed in his usual grey
cloak, the end of which was flung gracefully over
his shoulder, displaying its red lining. The depu-
tations were singularly fortunate. Few of the public
in England can have seen Garibaldi at such great
advantage, or had such an opportunity of contem-
plating with admiration his grandly massive fea-
tures, with their quiet, steadfast, noble expression.
At his right hand stood Col. Peard—not for the
first time his right hand man—who acted as master
of the ceremonies, introducing each deputation as it
came up to the General in Italian. The members
of the various deputations were presented to the
General, and enjoyed the honour of shaking hands
with him. Some ladies of Plymouth who were
present availed themselves of the same privilege.
Several of the gentlemen held some conversation
with the General, and the Rev. Erskine Risk ad-
dressed him in Italian, expressing the pleasure he
felt at seeing him in England. The General, evi-
dently pleased at hearing his own language, replied
also in Italian—" I cannot express the gratitude I
feel at the reception in England." Mr Risk added
"We hope you will return ; " to which the General
answered " I hope that I may visit England again."
One of the ladies present on being introduced
attempted to kiss his hand, when the General drew
it back with a most unmistakeable expression of
displeasure. Mr. Woollcomhe expressed a hope
that the General did not suffer any ill effects from
the fatiguing journey which he nude:took the pre-
vious day, when he cheerfully replied that he felt
quite recovered. His appearance certainly showed
a marked improvement from that of the previous
night, but there was still an evidence of weariness
about his countenance which was not surprising
after the exertions to which he had been subjected.
At 6 o'cla c'e a dinner was given to the General and
a large number of guests, when the characteristic
hospitality of Co!. l'eard and of Cornwall received
another illuear ition. The party was joined in the
evening by Garibaidi's son Menotti, who came down
by a late train, and was met by theGeneralon arrival.

The Police and the Primrose-hill Meeting,

DEPUTATION TO SIR GEORGE GREY.
Yrsterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, the joint deputations
from the City and Working Men's Garibaldi Committees
waited upon Sir George-Grey at the Home-office, for the
purpose of bringing under his notice the conduct of the
police in suppressing the Garibaldi public meeting on Prim-
rose-hill on Saturday evening last, and to ascertain upon
what conditions, if any, the public were allowed to hold open
air meetings. Messrs. Beales, T. A. Nicholay, Wainright,
and J. R. Taylor attended from the city, and Messrs. Hart-
well, Hornsby, Medlard, Applegarth, Snaw, Petherbridge,
and Connolly from the Working Men's Committee.
Mr, BE ALES said the deputations were desirous, in the first
place, to lay before the Home Secretary the unjustifiable
and unconstitutional Interference of the police, accompanied
by many acts of personal violence, with an orderly meeting
of the people ; in the second place, to know whether such
interference with the constitutional rights of the people was
or was not sanctioned by the Home Secretary ; and in the
third place to ascertain what guarantee existed that other
peaceable and legally-constituted meetings might not also be
interfered with by the police as caprice might move them.
He then detailed the part he had taken at the meeting as its
chairman, and said he was quite convinced that if he had not
desisted from speaking when ordered to do so by the inspector,
he would have used personal violence. Indeed he said as
much ; for although it might be quite true that the inspector
who came up to him was accompanied only by two con-
stables, there was a large body of police in the background,
ready to act on a signal from the inspector. He thought the
interference wholly unwarrantable, and involving a prin-
ciple dangerous to public liberty. He was prepared to say
that had it not been for the admirable conduct of the com-
mittee and the people the results might have been roost
serious, as the conduct of the police was marked by a
degree of unnecessary violence calculated to provoke
resistance and create a riot. He was not satisfied with the
explanation given in the House of Commons, which had
evidently been made upon false and imperfect statements.
He wished for an explicit statement from the Home Se-
cretary by what right the meeting in question was sup-
pressed.

Sir GEORGE GREY said he had but little to add to what
he had stated in Parliament. No orders respecting the
meeting had been given either by himself or Sir H. Mayne;
but he had no doubt the police had aeted in pursuance of
their general instructions to prevent all assemblages in the
shape of meetings in the parks as an interference with the
recreation of the people. This order had been issued con-
sequent upon the disturbances in Hyde-park some two
years back. He was not there to argue the question of the
right of the people to meet in the parks ; if the deputation
disputed the right of the authorities to enforce the prohi-
bition in question, they well knew how the question might
be brought to an issue. Primrose-hill was considered one
of the parks, and no meeting could be held on it without
the consent of ;Hr. Cowper, the Commissioner of Woods
