Garibaldi and Negro Emancipation.

Two addresses, from the Garibaldi Reception
Committee and the Union and Emancipation Society,
were presented to General Garibaldi by Mr Thomas
B. Potter, during his recent visit to the General at
Caprera, The following replies were received by
`Zr. Francis Taylor, chairman of the Reception
Committee, yesterday ;

" Capt. Era, 24th May, 1864.

" I cannot possibly express to you how great a
disappointment it was to me that I was unable to
accept your invitation, and how grateful I am for
the kindness you have shown to me. Being myself
a son of the people, I nourish a great affection for
the labouring classes whothrong your noble country.
In shaking the hardened hand of the working man
I feel that I take a brother's band, and though I
have not yet been able to express this to you per-
sonally, as I ought to have done, I hope the time is
not distant when I shall hise the opportunity of
doing so. In the meantime give to your friends my
affectionate greeting, and believe me for ever yours,
" G. GARIBALDI.
" To the Chairman of the Reception
Committee, Manchester."

" Caprera, 24th May, 1864.

" Thanks for your kind address—you to whom
the task of life is to further the highest aims of hu-
manity. Yon have honoured in me a soldier of your
own rank, who is proud to spend his life for the
advancement of the principles which you proclaim.
Yes! to understand your views it is requisite only
to know the name your society has adopted. Union !
Ia it not by union that nations should be bound
together and become as brothers ? Has not the
human family, for many centuries, while marchimg
onward on the glorious career of progreiis,
eaempli-
lied by the doctrines of our Saviour, wished for the
;mune union, though often retarded by corruption
and tyranny? Emancipation I May Gud b!ess you ;
What mise!on is more glorious than that of ems.nei-
pating the slaves? lam proud that fOrtune has
chosen me for one who could say in his lifetime to
the prostrate tilave--Riae! Be ft-cc! When de-
pressed by obstructions, and feeling the 'lced of
consolation, I remember those who •havehcen free.
I feel all pains vanish before the deliblitful pleasure
of the work of emancipation.
" I am, with all my heart, yours,
" G. GARIBADDI.
" To the President of the Union and Etnan-
cipation Society, Manchester."

COITRT OF ALDERMEN,

--

A Special Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at
Guildhall, for the purpose of receiving a report from the
General Purposes Committee in reference to the bye-laws
for the better regulation of the traffic of the city of London.
The Lord Mayor presided.
Alderman WILSON, before the commencement of the
regular proceedings, put a question as to what arrangements
had been made for holding the Common Hall on Midsum-
mer-day, as he said it was of course quite impossible that
it could be held according to usual custom in the Guildhall,
which was at present completely filled with scaffolding and
materials necessary for the proposed new roof.
After a brief conversation, it was arranged that the neces-
sary steps should be taken, under the authority of the Lord
Mayor, for holding the Common Hall either in one of the
courts of law or some other place adapted to the purpose.
