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 symbol
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 for the oppressed peoples, we give you a place,
the first place in our hearts ; and while doing 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 illustrious Joseph
Mazzini, who has done 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 heartfelt delight at seeing you in our midst; and, cc-
pressinga fervent desire for the full realisation of your
hopes, viz., your country's and the world's freedom, once
more—in the unbounded fulness of our love for you and
liberty—Welcome.

grateful, and will never forget in my life the welcome of
that class I have the honour to belong to. You call me

in every part of the world. (Cheers.)
The Italian address was presented t o the General on his
arrival at the platform.
The 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. After the greatest difficulty the carriages provided

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 arrive from
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 been railed of in the middle of the "shed,"
upon which was laid a very beautiful carpet, where the
various addresses were to bo presented, and on either side
of this the members of the 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 Townehend, Hon. Arthur Rinnaird, Hon Ashley
Ponsonby, Mr Gosehen, M.P., Col Sykes, M.P., Mr
Ayrtou, M.P., Mr W. Ewart, M.P., Mr Crawford, M,P.,
Sir John Shelley, M.P., Mr Onslow, M.P., Mr Dunlop,
M.l'., Mr P. Taylor, M.P., Mr Harvey Lewis, MX., Mr
Doulton, M.P., the Rev Newman Hall, Mr John Richard-
son, &c.
At 20 minutes to three the train containing General
Garibaldi and his friends arrived at the platform, and on
alighting the General WAR 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 ho 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 the 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 the 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

for the General and his friends were reached, and when

they emerged into the yard fronting the station they
were met with one 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 Wandsworth-road,
and there the working men of London, the Italian
dents, the Odd. Fellows, the Foresters, the Temperance
Societies, the Volunteer Fire Brigades, &c., filed 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 move in the Wandsworth-

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 hoaour they
did him. A little child was put forwardto present him with
a bouquet, but he scarcely looked at the lowers, as with the
most perfectly natural and fatherly manner he took the
child in his arms, kissed it, ratted 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-

rcsi,l_

road, the latter portion of it was at Wandsworth common.
As each of the societies passed the General's carriage
they stopped, took off their hats, and cheered him ; and this
process, which always lasted some few minutes, gave ample
opportunities to the crowd to fill up the gaps thus made in
the ranks of the procession. Thus, at last, the " proces-

sion" began to wear very much the aspect of the whole
body of spectators who had come out to welcome him, and
with the same privileges of moving on or stopping as they

might best please. It was not difficult, under these circum-

fectly simple and natural, that it did more than elicit ap.
plauae—it seemed to establish familiar and domestic rela.
tions between Garibaldi and all the ladies present.

stances, to foresee that the three-mile route before the
General was likely to be a slow one. At the corner of
Miles-street, owing to the main drainage work in the upper

part of the Wandsworth-road, the procession had to take
a bye-route, but one of the grey horses in the first carriage
reared, cracked the pole, fell junder the off horse,
which of course began plunging. The damage
was scarcely repaired when •a band struck up
behind, and the same brute, again rearing, repeated the
performance, to the imminent danger, as well of the dense
crowd as of those in the carriage. But luckily, although
the pole was smashed and the vehicle disabled, no worse re-
sult ensued. _

But now came a hitch somewhere. The first part of the
procession having moved off became lost to sight, and was
never again in view; the second part was for the same time
delayed, and meanwhile the crowds—aid crowds is hardly
the words for such a dense mass, made up of roughs and re-
spectable folks—had filled the path, which the very strong
police force on the ground was utterly insufficient to keep.
It ;was four o'clock before the general's carriage had
moved, and then came the difficulty. Miles-street was
packed, Bond-street was comparatively clear, though the
pole of the first carriage had still to wedge a way through
the people; but when the railway bridge crossing
Upper Kennington-lane was reached it became ap-
parent what was the real nature of the reception
awaiting Garibaldi. One would have said that in Kenning-
ton-lane was collected the whole of the population of South
London, so closely were the people crowded together. But
Kennington-lane was nothing compared to the Kenning-
ton-road. Where did the people come from? That was
very decidedly the question in everybody's mouth. If all
South London was in ennington-lane the whole metro-
polis must have been in Kennington-road. But still the
further the eya stretched and the more the polo of the first
carriage clove its way through the mass of people, the
denser the crowds appeared to become. Whenever the
carriage containing the general was seen the shouts grew
uproarious, the ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and the
children in arms—the inevitable children in arms I—
screamad as lustily as anybody else, but moved by
less personal gratification. It was not so much a reception
of a stranger hero as the welcoming of an old friend. But
what was this to what was to come? The people were, in
comparison, few and scattered before the procession--and
in speaking of the procession wo speak only of irs hinder
and more important part, for the head of it was far beyond
our km—arrived in the Westminster-road. Where the
St. George's-road runs into the Westminster-road the
people were so thick that it was a matter attended with
imminent danger to life and limb to attempt a passage
through them. But the passage had to be made, and here
Superintendent Walker and one or two other mounted chiefs
of the police did good service. They had disposed their men
at the points where the cross roads were most likely to
bring great additional crowds, and consequently more un-
cnitrollable pressure. And here their forethought was re-
warded. The policemen did their very best, and it was a
considerable help, but all the policemen at the disposal of
Scotland-yard would have done no good but for that oft-
referred-to-pole of the first carriage wedging itself into and
cleaving asunder the dense mass. So at length the railway
bridge crossing the Westminster-road was reached, and then
there was a lengthened halt ; why nobody exactly knew.
At length there was a short move, and then it appeared
likely that instead of going faster still reduced speed was
probable. For rounding the turn in the road Westminster
Bridge came in view, and the incline leading up to the
bridge was simply packed. Where the passage was to be
found was the problem that presented itself at once to the
mounted officers of police and the people in the fore-
most carriages. But by dint of great effort a way was
found somehow, and then came the bridge.
The rate of the procession's speed may be guessed
from the fact that the first vehicles were five-
and-twenty minutes in crossing the river, and then
came a few minutes of relief ; for though the crowds were
nearly if not quite as thick as ever they had the " A re-
serve" to deal with, and they had in that body met their
match. A very tolerable lane was kept from the Clock
Tower to half-way up Parliament-street, and all was there-
fore
plain, if somewhat slow, sailing. It was close upon
seven o'clock when the procession turned the corner into
Parliament-street, at which point the mounted police-offi-
cers received an addition to their numbers, enabling them
to do their work more effectually. And it was not before it
was needed that there came this extra force, headed by Sir
R. Mayne in plain clothes. For near the Irish Office, and
&benching into Whitehall, the procession came in contact
with the thickest crowd yet :encountered. In fact,
it was so thick that in such a narrow thoroughfare loss
of life appeared inevitable if the procession moved.
Whitehall was fairly gained without other accident than a
few slight bruises ; and in the more open space, though the
crowds were still immense, there was more room for the
mass of people to retire as the carriages advanced. Just as
the procession came oppposito the Horse Guards a company
of the guards was being marched out to relieve sentries, and
a cry was raised that they were going to present arms. But
as unconcerned looking as if there was no crowd around
and in front of them the Guards moved off to their duty,
and by the time the head of the procession came up to the
Admiralty, where the officials had gathered in great force
with their friends on the boundary wall, the Guards were
out of sight.
Charing-cross was in itself a scene to afford material for
columns of detailed description, but a few words must serve
to say what it was like. From the fountains then, right
down to the Ship Hotel, the area was crammed; the base of
Nelson's Pillar served as a good stand for a few adventur-

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 where 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 (hewn but in a just cause—the conqueror
of a kingdom, that he might deliver its people from
oppression : 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. thank you, General, for thus honouring
us by becoming for a time our guest, and we sincerely and
profoundly trust and 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 cora.
plete your restoration top.erfect 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 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 GARIBALDI replied in the English language.
He said—l am very happy to be enabled to-day to give my
thanks to thisnoble nation for its generous sympathyfor tb.e
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 fol classes was then
lowing address of the working
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,

dozens who, clambering up the pediment of the statue of
Charles 1., perched themselves about the horse, one man
going so far as to get on the stone steed's back behind the

generally understood that the hero of the day was utterly
tired and would not on any account show himself before
morning to the populace. So they quietly dispersed ; and
if Garibaldi was at once as much gratified and as much tired
as those who accompanied bim in the procession he had
earned sweet sleep and pleasant dreams in the princely man-
sion which shelters him.
What might have been made one of the most impoaing
