ARRIVAL OF GARIBALDI IN LONDON,

A portion of the fo-lowing appeared in our late edition last
night :

The public entry of General Garibaldi took place yester-
day am'dst the greatest excitement. The arrangements have
been so repeatedly published, and must have become so
generally known, that repetition is quite unneeded.
Although it was known the General would not arrivarom
Southampton until late in the afternoon, immense numbers
of persons, as early as eleven o'clock in the morning, began
to station themselves at various paints from which com-
manding views of the procession might be had:
The route along which the cortege was to pass presented a
scene of the greatest excitement. Immense processions,
headed by powerful bands, were continually passing, and the
nearer the station of the South Western Railway at Vaux-
hall was approached, the greater became the excitement.
In the Westminster-road immense quantities of flags and
banners floated from the houses on either side of the way,
and, in many instances, large banners stretched entirely
across the roadway. In every convenient place ranges of
seats had been erected, and all were filled to over-
flowing, the attendance of the ladies being exceedingly
immense, and we must say they vied with the
"lords of the creation," in their desire to give vent
to their enthusiasm. The most favourite article of dress
was the red GAribaldian.shirt ; but, without exception,
every lady wore in some way or other the national colours
of Italy.

At half-past 12 those holding tickets were admitted to
the goods shed at Nine Elms, which had been gaily decked
with flags of all nations, the tricolour of Italy of course
being most conspicuous. Many of the banners bore in-
scriptions, amongst which were the following :—" The
Man of Peace," "The Hero of Italy." "The Pure Patriot,"
and " Welcome Garibaldi ;" in addition to which a portrait
of the General was placed in the centre, surrounded with
flags.

A space had bean railed of in the middle of the " shed,"
upon which was laid a vezy beautiful caxpet, where the
various addresses were to be presented, and on either side
of this the members of the different committees ranged
themselves. Neatly the whole of them wore acme deco-
rative badge, but the most striking was a broad ribbon of
red, white, and green, which was worn across the shoulder
and tied under the left arm. Altogether, the scene was a
most animated and imposing one.
Amongst those present were the Duke of Sutherland, the
Marquis Townshend, Hon. Arthur liinnaird, Hon Ashley
Ponsonby, Mr Goschen, M.P., Col Sykes, M.P., Mr
Ayrton, M.P., Mr W. Evart, M.P., Mr Crawford, M,P.,
Sir John Shelley, M.P., Mr Onslow, 11.1. P , Mr Dunlop,
M.P., Mr P. Taylor, M.P., Mr Harvey Lewis, M.P., Mr
Doulton, M.P., the Rev Newman Hall, Mr John Richard-

son, &o.
At 20 minutes to three the train containing General
Garibaldi and his friends arrived at the platform, and on
alighting the General WEV4 received with a volley of the
most deafening cheers. With little or no ceremony he at
once proceeded towards the enclosed space in the goods
shed, but it was with the greatest difficulty the gallant
General made his passage thereto, owing to crowding and
crushing of the immense body of friends by whom he was
surrounded. Immediately the General entered the place
appointed for the delivery of the address, all previous ar-
rangements seemed to melt away, and in the excitement of
the moment everybody seemed to do precisely as he liked.
Some cheered, others waived their hats; others, again,
sent forth cries of " Welcome, Welcome," but the whole
presented one of the most exciting scenes it is possible for
the imagination to conceive.
His rest in tha Isle of Wight has made a considerable
improvement in the bronzed, hardy vigour of his aspect, as
compared with the tired and travel-worn look he wore when
he landed at Southampton. His lameness, however, seemed
as permanent as when he limped from tho Ripon, and with-
out the aid of his stick it was evident that walking would
be a slow and most laborious effort. As he advanced up the
platform to where he was to receive the addresses ladies
sometimes offered their hands to him over the barriers, and

then his ordinarily sad expression of countenance at once
changed, as with the most winning courtesy he turned to
press their hands, and always had for each fair partisan a
word or two of English to thank them for the honour they
did him. A little child was put forward to present him with
a bouquet, but he scarcely looked at the flowers, as with the
most perfectly natural and fatherly manner he took the
child in his arms, kissed it, patted its curls, and tried as
well as he was able to speak to it in English. Little as this
incident was, it was so unexpected, and, above all, so per-
fectly simple and natural, that it did more than elicit ap-
plause—it seemed to establish familiar and domestic rela-
tions between Garibaldi and all the ladies present.
The gallant General wore his usual light cloth cloak

lined with scarlet, the world .renowed shirt of the same
colour, drab trousers, and a black felt hat. In addition to
this costume the General had a silk bandana carelessly tied
across his shoulders, the colours being a kind of lavender or
mauve, with white intermixed.
After a great deal of struggling, sufficient space was
cleared in front of whore the General stood, when Mr,
Richardson came forward and read the following address :
The inhabitants of the British metropolis rejoice to wel-
come you among them—rejoice in the opportunity thus
afforded them of. testifying their enthusiastic admiration
for the first of living patriots, the undaunted and disin-
terested champion of not only the freedom and independence
of his own beloved and classic land, but of civil and reli-
gious freedom throughout the world. Free England wel-
comes with affectionate and heartfelt respect the great
apostle of liberty—the heroic and chivalrous soldier, whose
sword is never drawn but in a just cause—the conqueror
of a kingdom, that he might deliver its people from
p oression : poor himself whilst making others rich;
the self-devoted, self-denying citizen, loving the rights
and welfare of his own country and of the whole human
race better than his own life; the truly, good, pure-hearted
and upright man, whose private worth is only surpassed
by his public virtues and more than Spartan and Roman
magnanimity. We thank you, General, for thus honouring
us by becoming for at ime our guest, and we sincerely and
profoundly trust an. pray that the same merciful and
Almighty Power which. has hitherto, and in a marvellous
manner, preserved, amidst the greatest perils and dangers,
a life so precious to Christendom and mankind, will com•
plete your restoration to perfect health and strength, and
enable you yet to accomplish. all that your heart desires for
the future, making that future even moer glorious than the
past, more fruitful in great and good work=, more beneficial
to Italy and all other oppressed nationalities.
The reading of the address again renewed the excite-
ment, and for some minutes the cheering was extraordinary,
but immediately the General attempted to acknowledge the
compliment the cheering, if it were possible, seemed to in-
crease in intensity. At length silence was obtained,
and
General GARIBALDI replied in the English lanzuage,
He said—l am very happy to be enabled to-day to give ray
thanks to thisnoble nation for its generous sympathyfor the
cause of my country and for the cause of mankind. (Im-
mense applause.) Long ago I wished for this day, and I am
very happy to-day to express to all my gratitude. (Loud
cheering )
The following address of the working classes was then
presented :
Illustrious Chief I—ln the name of Britain's sons and
daughters of toil we bid you welcome to this metropolis.
We hail you as the representative of a regenerated and
united Italy, and for the love we bear to that beautiful
. land, and its noble, people, so long oppressed; but now,
