Reception of Garibaldi in London,

PUBLIC MEE flNa—Tuts DAY,

A public meeting was held today at the London
Taver❑ for the purpose of completing the arrange-
aunts for the reception of General Garibaldi by the
inhabitants of London.

The advertisement calling the meeting men-
tioned one o'clock as the time for the commencement
of the proceedings, and at that hour the large root
was nearly fail. After waiting about a quarter of
an hour dissatisfaction began to be expressed at the
delay. Loud cries of 6' Time, time" were con-
tinually heard until about 20 minutes past one,
wen loud hissing, mingled with repeated cr:es of
" Time, time," issued from all parts of the room.
A 20 minutes past one Mr. Weize, M.P., 1..\1r.
George Moore, Mr. Nicholay, Mr. D. Cninery, Cel•
Sykes, M.P., P. A. Taylor, Mr. Crawford, M.P.,
Mr. Deulton, M.P., Mr. Ayrton, M.P., Mr. Al.
Chambers, Mr. S. Morley, Mr. Mffenger, P.
Rogers, Esq., Mr. Abel Smith, Rev. Dr. Massie, E.
Beale, Eiq., Sir John Shelley, W. LAWSOO,
Alfred Brett, Eire, Sir R. Clifton, J Goscheu, Esq.,
M.P., Mr. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. J. H. Heeps, and
a number of other gentlemen entered the room,
when,
On the motion of Mr. AYRTON, M.P., Mr. Craw'
ford, M.P. for the City of London, was called upon
to fill the chair.
Mr. CRAWFORD, on taking his seat, said he held
it to be the duty of a representative of the people
invariably to attend to the representations made to
them, and it having been represented to him that it
was the desire of several of his most influential sup'
porters that he should attend that meeting, he had
no hesitation in doing so and placing his services ne
a public man connected with the City at the disposal
of the committee. He felt that in the City Of
London there was but one feeling in favour of Ge"
Garibaldi, and in whatever form the committee
might choose to convey that feeling of high
approval, he was sure the gallant general would not
amongst the honours he would receive in England
think the least of that tendered to him by the inha'
bitants of the City of London. (Cheers.) He would
then call upon Mr. Richardson, the secretary to the
City committee, to state to the meeting the arrange'
ments that had been made for the great demonstrir
tion on Monday next.
Mr. RICHARDSON then read the arrangements of
the united committees, which were precisely the
same as those published in The Sun, and concluded
by saying that, as far as it is possible for a body of
men to arrange such a proceeding, he believed the
committee had taken every precaution to secure the
greatest success and order on Monday next, en
which day Genera, Garibaldi would arrive at the
Nine Elms station of the London and South
Western Railway, at half-past two o'clock.
Tae CHAIRMAN tnen called upon one of his col-
leagues in the representation of the city of London
in Parliament to move the first resol uric°
(Cheers.)
Mr. GOSCHEN then came forward, and said the
only thing he had, es a complaint against the
Gertbaldi Reception Committtee, was, that their
wily asked him to move the resolution he held in
his baud, as he came into the room. In weaving
a wreath for such a brave and gallant man 0,
Garibaldi, one must not take up every twig folio"
by the wayside —(hear, hear, cud cheers)--he de.
served one of more than ordinary grandeur;
He thought the object of the present meeting 'ica
°
to take the opinion of the city of London on tn
conduct of Garibaldi, but there was but one opiui°tzt
upon that—(cheers)—and he felt certain the gall°o
general would properly estimate the feeling of
01
citizens of London. The hon. gentleman then Pr°,
seeded to eulogise the romantic and disintereiste,':
life of Garibaldi, and concluded by moving the
lowing resolution :
" That this meeting recognises in General Garibaldi 013:
of the most distinguished and pure-hearted of m° of
patriots, and the devoted and heroic champion not 0011..,„
the rights of the people of united Italy, but of the Prii;
ciples of universal liberty, and cordially approves of .
measures taken by the Garibaldi Reception and Testitnoe;,
Committee, and the Working Men's Committee, for
on,
coming that illustrious man with a great popular deco
stration on his arrival in this metropolis."
Mr. SAMUEL ISIORLEY, in a very forcible sPee
seconded the resolution. • for
The CHAIRMAN then put it to the meeting

adoption, when it was carried amidst the Icicl
cheers.

THE LATE T. P. COOKE.--We are requested
to correct an error, which appeared in our leading
columns of yesterday, in reference to the life of this 18. c;
mented actor. We are asFured that Mr. T. P. Cu()1"6 nte
not ride as one of the Lord Mayor's "men in armour."
foundation of the story is said to have been thus relatea
by him :—Two suits of armour were preparod to IA
worn by him and Mr. 0. Smith in a dritua written for 001:
The tumour was found too heavy for
use ou the stage, 00
when it was euggested that it might be available for the
Lord Mayor's show, Mr. 0. Smith volunteered to ride, and
Mr. T. F. Cooke declined. The funeral will take place at
twelve o'clock on Monday, at 13c onipten Cemetery, aud 11°
at Highgate as stated.-standanf.
