General Garibaldi at the Reform Club,

(THIS DAY.)
This morning the General breakfasted at the
Reform Club, where a large party of members as
sembled. The entertainment passed off satisfactorily,
and later in the afternoon the gallant General left
town for Pembroke Lodge, Richmond, in order to
partake of luncheon with the EArl and Countess
Russell, and a distinguished circle of the aristocracy.

The General this evening dines with the Fish-
mongers' l!
London Bridge.

The following protest was yesterday
signed by
between 40 and 50 members of the Reform Club:—

ENTERTAINMENT TO GENERAL GARIBALDI.
The undersigned beg
respectfully to protest against the
entertainment to be given to General Garibaldi at the
gßeform Club, for the following reasons :
1. That the public reception of General Garibaldi as a
guest at any political club must,
in the nature of the case,
be a political demonstration of approval of his principles as
a public man, and as a citizen of his own state and country.
2. That the objects of the Reform Club, as originally
constituted, were political only in reference to the constitu-
tion of this kingdom; and that the application of these
principles to foreign
Countries opens a wide field for diffe-
rence of opinion, and that, by consequence, the conduct of
General Garibaldi in reference to Italy and other countries
is entirely beyond the province of the Reform Club, as such,
to approve or condemn,
3. That waiving all
technical questions of the rules by
which the Administrative Committee are bound, the under-
signed are of opinion that the committee, knowing that the
contemplated testimonial would give offence to a large
minority of the club, would have shown more consideration
and right feeling in refusing to lend the name of the club
to such a demonstration as is intended.
4. That, in a society comprising amongst ifs members
many Catholics, any public testimonial rendered to General
Garibaldi is an offence to their feelings of religious honour
and fidelity,

THE CITY ARRANGEMENTS YESTERDAY.
The arrangements of the committee appointed to
carry into effect the vote cf the Common Council
for the presentation of the freedom of the city to
with Cieir usual incompleteness. The committee
were very peremptory in their orders to the police
about excluding all persons without tickets, yet in
appear to have been characterised
the face of this they actually omitted to send the
necessary vouchers to the whole of the General's
suite, and the result was
that Menotti Gal i•
baldi, the General's eldest son, was unfor-
tunately refused admission to the hall in
consequence of not possessing the required bit of
pasteboard ! When the General received the goltl
box containing the freedom,
he looked around for
his son Menotti, to whom
ho intended to have
delivered it, but instead of being in his place
by his father's
persuade the police-constable outside the building
side, he was hopelessly trying to
to allow him admission, surrounded by a not very
orderly mob. she representatives of the daily press
who were not favoured with a ticket of admission
to the ceremony have now, at all events, the grati•
fication of knowing that they were not the only
persons who experienced the same treatment at the
hands of the committee.

Conference met at the Official Residence of the First Lord
of the Treasury, in Downing-street, yesterday ; but, owing
