ARRIVAL OF GARIBALDI IN LONDON,

(THIS DAY).

The public entry of General Garibaldi took place to-day
amidst 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 arrive from
Southampton until late in the afternoon, immense numbers
of persons, as early as cloven o'clock in the morning, began
to station themselves at various points 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 eithei side of the way,
and, in many instances, large banners stretched entirely
across the roadway. In every convenient place ranges of
seats held 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; bat, 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 been railed of in the middle of the " shed,"
upon which was laid a very beautiful carpet, where the
various addresses were to be presented, and on either side
of this the members of tho different committees ranged
themselves. Nearly the whole of them wore some 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 Kinnaird, Hon Ashley
l'onsonby, Mr G °schen, M,P., Col Sykes, M.P., Mr
Ayrton, M.P., Mr W. Ewart, M.P., Mr Crawford, M,P.,
Sir John Shelley, M,P., Mr Onslow, M.P., Mr Dunlop,
M.P., Mr P. Taylor, M.P., Mr Illrycy Lewis, M.P., Mr
Mr Doulton, M.P., Rev Newman Hall, Mr John Richard-
son, iko.
At 20 minutes to three the train containing General
Garibaldi and his friends arrived at the platform, and on

alighting the General was 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," tut the whole
presented one of the most exciting scenes it is possible for
the imagination to conceive.

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 carelssly 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 where the General stood, when Mr.
Richardson came forward and read the following address :
The inhabitants of the British metropolis rejoice to wet-
CONIO 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 ho might deliver its people from
oppression : poor himself whilst making others rich ;
the self-devoted, self-denying citizen, loving tho 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
as by becoming for a time our guest, and we sincerely and
profoundly trust and pray that the same merciful and
Almighty Powers 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 mose glorious than the
past, more fruitful in great and good works 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 GAiUOALDI replied in the English language.
lie said—l am very happy to be enabled to-day to give my
thanks to this noble nation for its general sympathy for the
cause of my country and for the cause of mankind. (Im-
mense applause.) Long ago I wished for this day, and lam
very happy to-day to express to all my gratitude. (Loud
cheering )

The following address of the working classes was then
presented :

Illustrious Chief !—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, eo long oppressed' but now,
thanks to your devoted patriotism and indomitable courage,
almost freed from the foreign oppressor, we bid you wel-
come. Your name is to us a household word, the swybol
of liberty, associated with lofty daring, bold enterprise, and
unselfish devotion to the cause of human progress; for your
deeds we thank, love, and welcome you; and in the name,
the sacred name of that liberty for which you have fought,
bled, and won tor the oppressed peoples, we give you a place,
the first place in our hearts; and while doiug so we cannot
forget that there are many who have been associated with
you in your glorious enterprises who are also deserving of
our admiration and esteem, especially the illustious Joseph
Alazzini, who has dune so much for Italy, Freedom, and
Humanity. We therefore hope soon to be able to show
our love for your co-workers. Accept, then, dear brother,
our h,_artfelt &tight at seeing you in our midst; and, ta_
pressing a fervent desire for th) full realisation of your
hopes, viz., your country's and tho world's freedom, once
more—in the unbounded fulness of our love for you and
lihorty—Welcome.
General Garbaldi, to this address, replied as follows
I like to see the working man particularly. lam very
grateful, and will never forget in my life the Welcome
of
that class I have the honour to belong to. You call tne
brother. I like to be called the brother of the Working man
in every part of the world. (Cheers.)

The Italian address was presented to the General on his
arrival at tho platform.

Tho gallant General then shook hands With every per-
son who came within his arms-length, the ladies struggling
quite as much as the men for such an interchange of cordi-
ality. Atter the greatest difficulty the carriages provided
for the General and his friends wore reached, and when
they emerged into the yard fronting the station they
were met with ono general and deafening shout of
admiration from the thousands who had been possessed with
tickets admitting them to the Company's premises.
The carriage containing General Garibaldi then pro-

ceeded to the gate of the station in the WandFworth-rcaa
and there the working men of London, the Italian resi-
dents, the Odd. Fellows, the Foresters, the Temperance So-
eta:es, the Volunteer Fire Brigades, &c., &c., then passed
in procession before it. Some notion of the extent of the
procession, and the time it took to pass the General's
carriage, may be imagined, when the first body began
to mNe in the Wandsworth-road, the latter portion of
it was at 'Wandsworth common.

The whole sane, from the Nine Elms Station, was ex-
citing in the extreme.

THE DANO-GERMAN QUESTION.

Mr. ITORiM AN asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether, if it ehonld be a result of the conference tha',:Eng-
land was about to undertake new engagements with refer-
ence to Denmark and the Ducbes, her Majesty's Ministeis
would be prepared to submit those engagements to the con-
sideration of Parliament before they adviced their ratifica-

11 Lord PALMERSTON said that, in a mixed constitution
like that of this country, it was almost impossible to draw
