GENERAL GARIBALDL

GARIBALDI'S PROGRESS TO CORNWALL.
PLYMOUTH, Tuesday.
"We resume this morning our narrative of Gari-
baldi's progress to Colonel Peard's yesterday.

All along the line of route, at Bi.th, Bristol, and
every chief station, the demonstrations of welcome
were most enthusiastic. At both Bath and Bristo
the Mayor and Corporation of each city presented
addresses. From here General Garibaldi, the Duke
of Sutherland, and suite proceeded by the Durston
junction to Wqmouth, by special tail.), where they
arrived at half-past four.

At five o'clock Garibaldi, his friends, and suite
left the Weymouth station in carriages in atten-
dance, and were driven to the pier head amidst
the cheers of hundreds of people who lined the
entire route. They then embarked on board the
gunboat Trinculo, commanded by Flag-Lieute-
nant Church, which at once steamed out of har-
bour for the ',Edgar, 74, on board which Admiral
Dacres received the Italian hero with all the for-
malities of a distinguished visitor. He shook
hands with several of the officers who had mus-
tered on the quarter-deck, and passed into the ad..
miral's cabin, where he partook of some refresh-
ment. He, accompanied by the Admiral, the Duke
of Sutherland, and other gentlemen of his party,
then proceeded in the Admiral's barge on board
the Warrior, ironclad, 41. Here ho made a minute
examination of this splendid vessel, after which
the men were put through a drill of " quarter
firing," in
which they afforded the General ask),
nishing
proof of the facility and rapidity with
which her formidable weapons are worked. He was
then escorted back to the Trinculo by the Admiral,
who shook him heartily by the band and wished
him good bye. It was quite dark before the General
again touched terra, firma. Immediately succeeding
this was an indescribable pell-mell rush for the sta.
lion. The General,with almost magical rapidity,was
transferred from the pier to the platform, and was,
as it were, hustled into the saloon carriage in wait-
ing through the dense mass of people flocked into
and around the station. A few minutes after wards
the Duke of Sutherland, Earl Sefton, Col. Peard,
and, in fact, nearly every one who had accompanied
the General, reached the station, but the doors were
closed—closed by a set of men dignified by the name
of policemen, than whom none more unfit or unquali.
fled could be found. They Were deaf to all requ eats to
open the doors, as those outsiders were " members
of Garibaldi's party." All representations made by
the Duke of Sutherland, the Earl of Sefton, Colonel
Peard, or the representatives of the Press went for
nought. They "didn't
care, no one should enter
while the Gtneral was there." This state of
things lasted till a gentleman led a kind of
forlorn hope, scaled a wall, entered a side window,
and bravely fighting his way through the out-
stretched arms of the inexorable policemen, opened
the doors for those outside. A rush was of course
made to enter, whereupon a scuffle of the most vio-
lent description ensued, and but for the timely in-
terference of Slr. Blackmore, many members of the
General's party would have been left at Weymouth
all night.
In returning to Exeter, Yeovil station was densely
packed with people, who lustily cheered as the train
slowed through.
At Exeter the enthusiasm of the assembled crowds
was unbounded. Notwithstanding the intense dark-
ness of the night, the people mounted the carriages
on all sides, ran along the line, and in every pos-
sible way manifested their admiration of Garibaldi,
who bowed his acknowledgments from the window
of the carriage. At Dawlish very few were at the
station. At Teignmouth a large number assembled,
and a brass band played the National Anthem as
the train passed through.
At Newton the station was greatly crowded, and
when the train stopped, as at the previous station,
a dead rush was made for the General's carriage,
and fifty hands at one time were thrust through the
window to shake hands with him.
At Taunton the station was brilliantly illumi-
nated and tastefully hung with flags, and the en-
thusiasm equally intense.
The prc-parv.tiocs at Plymouth were certainly

more complete and better carried out than at any
station along the route, inasmuch as the police en-
forced their authority and kept the people from
crowding round the carriage, The interior of the
station was fitted with seats, which were occupied
by lathes, and although it was one o'clock before
the train entered the station there were hundreds
of ladies present, as well as the Mayor and Corpo-
ration.

The General got out of his carriage and accepted
a bouquet of flowers from the hands of a lady.
He was most enthusiastically greeted, and after
acknowledging the compliments, the train moved
out of the station amidst prolonged and hearty
cheering.

The train, the engine of which was driven by Mr.
Cockshott, then went on to Cornwall, and reached
Par station at two o'clock. Here the arrangements
for his reception were admirable, and notwithstand-
ing the lateness of the hour fully 300 persons,
amongst them a fair proportion of ladies, were pre-
sent, whose cheers rent the air, mingled with the
pealing- of the church bells.

The General, with his now host, Col. Peard, the
Duke of Sutherland, and the other members of the
party, then entered carriages in attendance to re-
ceive them, and at once proceeded to Penquite, the
residence of Col. Peard, which they reached about
three o'clock this morning, after a journey of close
upon 15 hours.

PLYMOUTH, April 26.
Addresses were presented to Garibaldi this after-
noon, at Penquite House, from the mayors and in-
habitants of Plymouth, Devonport, and Bodmin,
and from the Plymouth branch of the Polish League.
The presenters, and a large number of other per•
sons, had interviews with the General in the library,
where he received them most cordially, warmly
shaking their hands.
In his replies, he said all the nationalities of
Europe were favourable to England, because she
had no wish to take the property of other nations,
as shown in the cession of the lonian Islands.

Garibaldi's son arrived by express this evening at
Par, and joined his father at Penquite.

The General will embark at F owey tomorrow
morning.

THE SCENE AT EXETER AND THE
ADDRESSES.
(Abridged from the Western Daily News.)
The preparations made for the reception of General
Garibaldi at St. David's Station, Exeter, were on nearly as
extensive a scale as those at Plymouth, and from noon, when
a large concourse of persons had assembled in and around
the station, all was bustle and excitement for some hours.
Outside the station the masses, with whom the name of
Garibaldi is so closely associated, were impatiently and with
noisy good humour awaiting the arrival of the special train
that was to convey him from Cliefdeß. Inside the station,
where a more select party were assembled, there was also a
great deal of excitement, but the arrangements on the whole
were as good as could have been expected from the impromptu
nature of the visit. Barriers were erected to prevent those
who were not members of the corporation, or magistrates, or
otherwise privileged, from obtaining access to the platform.
Good service was also rendered by the city of Exeter police,
under the command of Superintendent Steel, in keeping back
the crowd. We may safely say that great credit is due to
Mr. W, Mears, the superintendent of the Bristol and Exeter
Railway, for the great exertions he made to guard against
accidents generally, and to afford accommodation for all.
A space capable of containing upwards of 300 persons was
railed off for ladies, Nine hundred tickets were also issued
to the general public for admission to an outer platform.
Mr. Woollcombe, the chairman of the South Devon Rail-
way Company, Mr. Kendall, one of the directors, and Mr.
Cockshott, the superintendent, arrived from Plymouth by
the express train. They were accompanied by Mr. Lovett,
of Liscombe, late High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, and
a particular friend of the General's. Mr. Lovett, it seems,
arrived in Plymouth on Saturday in his yacht the Mirage,
carrying six guns, for the special purpose of meeting Gene-
ral Garibaldi, and it is, we believe, his intention to accom-
pany him on his cruise to Caprera. In front of the space
set apart for the special accommodation of the ladies,
chairs were placed for Lady Bowring, Lady Fortescue,
Mrs J. Brutton Ford, and Miss Brutton. Lady Bowring
held in her hand a magnificent bouquet, whieh had
been obtained from the Messrs. Veitch, which her
ladyship had kindly consented to present to the General
on his arrival. Some splendid strawberries were also in
readiness to be presented by Miss Collins. Permission had
been obtained from Col. Davie, M.P., for the band of the
Ist Devon Militia to play on the platform, and they arrived
accordingly shortly after one, and performed several tunes
at intervals. The procession from the city, headed by a
Union Jack, arrived in the following order :—The sergeant
at mace, high constable, deputy mayor (in robes), with the
high sheriff (R. T. Head), magistrates, aldermen, town
councillors, nod citizens followed. H. Hooper, Esq., acted
as deputy mayor in the absence of Mr. Snow, who is at pre-
sent sojourning in France. The intention was to present
two addresses to the general, the one from the members of
the Exeter town council, and the other from the citizens of
Exeter generally. These addresses were to have been pre-
sented by the deputy mayor, and were as follows :
" TO GENERAL GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI.
" We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the city of
Exeter, friends of constitutional liberty, fully appreciating
our own happiness in being subjects of a united kingdom,
and of a monarch endeared to all by her magnanimity and
love of justice, beg to express our admiration of your endea-
vours to unite the States of Italy under one sovereign. We
applaud your love of liberty, your personal courage, and
your disinterested exertions for the good of your country.
We esteem those exertions to be the proof of true patriotism,
and we have great pleasure in welcoming you to this land of
freedom, and to this ancient city, ever faithful, and inferior
to none in loyalty and devotion to our beloved Sovereign,
and to the cause of constitutional monarchy. We desire to
add our best wishes for your success, and for your present
health and happiness.—Given under our hand and seal in
the city of Exeter, on the 23d day of April, 1861.".
The following is a copy of the second address, which was
adopted at the meeting of the citizens :

" TO GENERAL GARIBALDI.
" We, the citizens of Exeter, avail ourselves of this op-
portunity to express our admiration of your noble, generous,
and disinterested character, and our deep sense of the great
services you have rendered to secure freedom and happiness
for the people of your beloved Italy. We unite with the rest
of our fellow, countrymen and countrywomen in giving you
a hearty welcome, and we could only wish that the state of
your health had permitted you to remain longer in England,
so that we might have had, in common with other cities
and towns, the opportunity of testifying in a manner more
in accordance with the warmth and sincerity of our feelings
our high appreciation of your pure and unselfish patriotism,
and your noble deeds of heroism and valour. We sincerely
trust that your health will be soon completely restored ;
and that you may be long, very long, spared to aid still fur-
ther in the advancement• of the sacred cause of liberty to
which your whole life has been consecrated.—Signed on
behalf of the citizens in public meeting assembled, at the
Guildhall of the said city."
A luncheon, consisting of most expensive delicacies, was
provided by Mr. Clase, of Devonport, at the expense of the
directors of the company. Scarce had all those preparations
been completed ere a telegram arrived, the purport of which
quickly spread through the excited crowd on the platform.
It was as follows :—" Dykes, Taunton, to Cockshott, Exeter.
The General has gone to Weymouth, via Yeovil." It would
be impossible for us to describe the effect which this intel••
ligence had upon the assembly. Most of the ladies looked as
if they were at a loss to know whether to laugh at the whole
proceedings as a capital joke, or to be indignant at the dis-
appointment. The male portion of the community were
getting decidedly out of temper, and it was becoming evi-
dent that the only " General" that would be witnessed at
the Exeter station that afternoon would be General Dissatis-
faction, At this critical moment a happy notion occurred
to the band of the Ist Devon Militia that had the imme-
diate effect of preventing that unwelcome officer from
mingling in the crowd. The Ist Devons began playing with
might and main, " Oh dear ! what can the matter be ?"
and the effect upon everybody present was instantaneous.
In short, the entire crowd, that an instant before looked as
though they did not know whether to laugh or cry, were
placed upon the " broad grin," and they soon after began to
disperse in the most good-humoured manner imaginable,
Cheers were then given for Garibaldi, for Mazzini, for Sir
John Bowring, and for Earl Fortescue, Many were the
surmises as to what had caused the delay of the General,
and it was not until after the arrival of the express train,
which had been delayed for nearly an hour. in order to keep
the line clear fOr the passage of the special by which the
General was expected, that people would allow themselves
to credit the report that Garibaldi had been actually turned
off at Durston from his direct route to Plymouth, and pro-
ceeded to 'Weymouth to view the Channel Fleet ! "
