the cheer which they would willingly have given.
Perhaps their silent goodwill affected the general
even more than the noisy demonstration of the
ehorefolke, inasmuch as he who the day before
had such reverence for discipline that he would not
~;.o on the Itipon's paddlebox until et, had asked
the captain's leave could not help admiring the self-
c ntrol which prevented British sailers under so
strong a temptation from breaking a very whole-
some rule of the service, which provides that no
demonstration shall be made except by order. It
was five minutes past one that the Sapphire left the
pier with Mr. Clarke, one of the directors, and Capt.
Corke, the superintendent, on deck; and by twenty
minutes past one she was opposite Netley, when
the general accepted Mr. Seely's invitation to
luncheon below. First handing down a lady on
board, and then pointedly asking Mr. Negretti to
join them, Garibaldi descended to the cabin. It was
a pity, but there was no help for it, that the general
was hardly below when the Sapphire reached the
noble screw steamer, Ceylon, belonging to the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, and just on the
poi it of starting—lying at her buoy for the mails
—and the passengers on the beautiful packet ware
all on the tiptoe of expectation ready to cheer him
%them they were unfortunate enough not to see.
Tne party did not,however, remain long at luncheon,
for Garibaldi is now mere than ever abstemious, and
soon after he retu:ned on deck the word was passed
that the steamer was nei:.eing Cowes. Fifty minutes
The Royal pier in the

as much as possible of the occasion. The atNdo:tacl:
of the pier was gaily dressed with banners au.
streamers, and numbers of people had assembled not
only on the pier but in little boats around, cheering
moat heartily. Hardly had the sponsons touched
the pontoon when half a dozen gentlemen rushed
on board, at the head of them Captain Ledgard,
who, in the name of West Cowes and of the island,
congratulated the general on his arrival. The
Mayor of Newport was then presented, and, amid
the gratified looks of the islanders, Garibaldi
landed, and immediately proceeded in one of Mr.
Seely's carriages to Brook-house, where he arrived
about half-past three o'clock, no doubt wondering
in himself where so many people as he saw stowed
themselves at night in such a little island, and in
so few houses. At Brook House the general will,
with his sons and his suite, live in perfect quietude
for a few days—but for very few. He has, condi-
tionally upon his other engagements, accepted the
invitation of the Mayor and corporation of South-
ampton to a banquet at the end of the week; but
the day is not fixed, and, indeed, the occurrence of
the banquet is something more than improbable.
On Saturday afternoon he will probably arrive in
Londcn, where he will be the guest of the Duke of
Sutherland at Stafford House. It is understood
that, GS the Mayor of Southampton hinted in his
closing words in the Town Hall, a strong effort will
be made to keep the general beyond the influence
of designing persons. He is so impressionable, so
disinclined to offer the least slight even to one who
has no claim upon him, much more those who fancy
themselves to have a lien upon his time or his per-
son, that he would fall an easy prey to the popu-
larity-hunters who have tried to surround him. It
is felt that he is now in good hands, that at Stafford
House he will also be safe ; but it is feared that some
of those immediately about his person will parade
him through town in the theatrical, though simple,
costume which is well enough when just landed
from a voyage, but which his sons have discarded,
and which it is by his friends strongly hoped he will
not wear in London, at least after his first formal
entry. There is some talk of a grand banquet in the
nave of the Crystal Palace, but his most distinguished
friends, who have perhaps done more concerning his
visit to England than the publie will ever know,
think it will be wise that banquets at which speech
making is to be the order of the day should be as
few and far between as possible. If his wiser
friends should have their way this visit to England
may be for many a year a matter for pleasant
thoughts both to Englishmen in general and to
Garibaldi himself. It, on the other hand, his more
selfish acquaintances carry their point both England
end the man whom such a large proportion of
England now delights to honour may for long
enough repent the doing of persons who will not
take a hint, and to whom there is nothieg for it
but to speak plainly. As a gentleman said in my
hearing to-day, "Nothing would better please
ealy's enemies than to see the general and his
'riends repeat the Kossuth mistake."

MEETING IN LONDON.

A meeting of the general committee of the Garibaldi
Reception and Testimonial Fund was held at the London
Tavern yesterday—Mr. Beale in. the chair.
Mr J. It. I'AYLon., one of the hon. secretaries, reported
that the following resolutions, passed at a previous meeting,
had been sent to Lord Palmerston :—" That it is desirable
that the route along which the procession receiving General
Garibaldi shall pass be lined by the volunteers, and that
application be made to the proper authorities to obtain the
necessary permission; That application be made t.) Lord
Palmerston to receive a deputation on the above subject,
and for the purpose of obtaining his lordship's sanction of
the same ; and that in the event of his consenting to receive
a deputation, that such a deputation be instructed to ask his
lordship also to sanction, on some following day, a review
of the volunteers by General Garibaldi." To this his lord-
ship sent the following reply :-10, Downing-street, Satur-
day, April 2, 1861. Sir,—l am desired by Lord Palmerston,
in reply to your communication of the 30th ult., to say that
he will be happy to receive the deputation from the Garibaldi
Reception Committee any morning atter Monday next, at
12 o'clock, at his residence in Piccadilly; but that he shall
not be able to accede to the wishes expressed in the resolu-
tions sihich you fcrward, because it is essential that the
volunteers should not assume a political character, nor
become the instruments of political demonstrations.—l am,
sir, your obedient servant, Eve LYN ASHLEY. J. It. Taylor,
Esq., Esq."
The CIIIIRMAN then read the draft of an address for

presentation to GaribaLii on his arrival in London, which
was unanimon,ly agtead to.
It was also carried that as Saturday would be an incon-
venient day for the working men of London to attend and
welcome the General upon his visit to the metropolis, that
he should be asked to arrive on Monday next, which Mr.
Richardson intimated the General would readily comply
with, In London Garibaidi would be the guest of the Duke
of Sutherland for a week. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. 11. G. Langton, M.P., and
Mr. Beale were elected vice-chairmen, and a resolution was
passed that Mr. Crawford, M.P., should be requested to
act as chairman, and upon his declining., that the invita-
tion should extend to Mr. Goshen, M,P.

THE SHEFFIELD INUNDATION.—The melancholy
scene of the late inundation continues to be visited
by hundreds of persons daily, the greater number from dis-
tant parts of the country. Oa visiting Malin Bridg.', Ow-
lerton, and Hillsbro' on Friday, we found a few parties of
men engaged in the work of repairing buildings that had
been partly washed down; but the attempts at reconstruc-
tion have been, so far, very limited and partial. Lower
down the river, and in Sheffield itself, more activity is ob-
servable, and several of the forges and manufactories have
recommenced NA ork, so far as has been practicable, The
scene of desolation at Neepsend and Hillfoot is even more
distressing than it was shortly after the flood, from the
dreary solitude which reigns in localities that were formerly
busy and animated. From calculations which have been
made, it would seem that the flood reached and injured,
more or less E. erious:y, not fewer than 4,000 houses. In the
district of Neepsend alone, out of 600 houses, 400 are now
empty, The total damage to property from the scene of
the accident to a point below the b rough of Sheffield,
where the destructive power of the flood may be said to
have ended, is calculated at £350,000 ; and this, of course,
is exclusive of tenants' and proprietors claims, which will
amount to an enormous sum. The Relief Fund now amounts
`to about 135,000 —Manchester Guardian.
