AITS TEAL lA,

LIVERPOOL, April a.

The screw steamship Great Britain, Gray, com-
mander, arrived here this morning from Melbourne
with dates to the 27th of January, 424 passengers,
and 63,000 ounces of gold dust on freight.

The third session of the third Parliament of
Victoria was opened on the 26th of January, and
the Chief Secretary laid on the table of the Assembly
the despatch of the Duke of Newcastle stating that
there was no intention of sending convicts to any
part of Australia, excepting only that colony situate
at a great distance from all the others to which
convicts have already been sent for several years
past.

The Post-office revenue was said to be deficient
for the year of £33,000, and it was stated the reduc-
tion of the postal rate to 2d would occasion a further
loss of £26,000, and that to frank newspapers to
Great Britain would cost the colony £12,000 per
annum.

At Adelaide orders had been received to stop any
further enrolment of Volunteers for New Zealand.
40 men had previously enlisted.
The biddings for choice lots of wool were brisk
at the auction sales on the 26th, but for interior
sorts there was very little competition.

The following is a list of the projected departure
of vessels for London and Liverpool:—
For London—The Dover Castle, Feb, 3; the
Lincolnshire, Feb. 15 ; the Red Rover, Feb. 7;
the Bemires, Frb. /5 ; the Chrysolite, Feb. 15 ; the
Glendower, Feb. 20 ; the Lady Ann, Feb. 20 ; the
Kent, Feb. 29; the Kosciusco, early in February;
the Australian and the Westminster early.
For Liverpool—The Royal Standard, March 10.

CONSTITUTIONAL TRANQUILLITY AT NAPLES.—
There was a demonstration at Naples on the patro-
nymic fete day of Garibaldi, the 20th of March. Vast
crowds assembled and roared out, "Lanai ! Lund 1'
(Light up 1) and the order was obliged to be obeyed. Cries
of "Rome I" "To Venice I" " Vive Zing Garibaldi !"
rather alarmed the authorities, but the demonstration spent
itself harmlessly, albeit significantly%

PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF
THE CITY TO GEN. GARIBALDI.

MEETING OF COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL,

THIS DAY.

The meeting of the Court of Common Council was held
to-day, and in consequence of the motion of Mr. Richard-
son, viz., the presentation of the Freedom of the City of
London to General Garibaldi, there was a very full attend-
ance of members.

The LORD MAYOR having taken the chair, and the pre
liminary ,business having been transacted, the following
motion was brought forward :

"The preset t iti ma of the honorary freedom of the
City of London to General Garibaldi,"
Mr. RICHARDSON having referred to the arrival of
General Garibaldi in London, prcceeded to say that he
thought it presented a fitting occasion for the citizens of
London to mark their appreciation of General Garibaldi by
presenting to him the honorary freedom of the City of
London. He felt certain that the extent of the honour
intended would be rightly estimated by General Garibaldi,
a noble disinterested man who had given freedom to
thousands. He concluded by moving :—" That the
honorary freedom of the City of London be presented
to General Garibaldi on his arrival in the metropolis."
Alderman AMISS, in a highly eulogistic speech, se-
conded the proposition.

Mr. NORRIS, after some discussion, withdrew the
amendment for "the previous question," and having mare
some remarks relative to the matter, concluded by moving
that an address of congratulation from the city of London
be presented instead of the honorary freedom.

Mr. RAY supported the amendment. He said it was not
competent for the court to present the honorary freedom of
the City of London to General Garibaldi, because he, as an
alien, could not receive it.
Mr. Deputy ELLIOT supported the original question. A
great outcry had been got up against General Garibaldi
because it had been said he had asked England for a million
muskets, but he defied any one to prove that such an asser-
tion ever passed from the mouth of General Garibaldi.
(Hear, hear.) It was a foul libel, and only the enemies
of one who was the foremost man in the world, believed for
one moment the base insinuation. (Hear, hear.)
After a somewhat animated discussion,
The COMMON SERGEANT put the question, when the ori-
ginal motion was agreed to almost unanimously.
The 26th standing order of the Court having been sus-
pended,

Mr. RICHARDSON arose, amidst loud cheers, to move that
the freedom of the city, which the Court had just decided
to present to General Garibaldi, be enclosed in a gold box
value 100 guineas. (Cheers,) Ho remarked that whilst
the citizens of London, by such a proceeding, would only
be doing that which was right and proper, they would at the
same time be honouring one of the greatest, bravest, and
disinterested men of the people. (Cheers.)
Alderman MECHI said he had great pleasure in seconding
the motion. (Cheers.)
After a few remarks from several other members of the
Court,
The COMMON SERGEANT submitted the motion to the
Court, when it was agreed.to, amidst loud cheering.
The Court then proceeded with the other business on
the paper, which occasioned little or no interest, as nearly
one-half the members of the Court quitted the chamber on
the conclusion of the motion of Mr. Richardson.
