Reception of Garibaldi in London,

PUBLIC MEE FlN:l—Tars DAL

A public meeting was held today at the London
Tavern for the purpose of completing the arrange"
mEnts for the reception of General Garibaldi by the
inhabitants of London.

The advertisement calling the meeting men-
tioned one o'clock as the time for the commencement
of the proceedings, and at that hour the large room
was nearly full. After waiting about a quarter of
an hour *dissatisfaction began to be expressed at the
delay. Loud cries of " Time, time" were cone
tinually heard until about 20 minutes past one,
when loud hissing, mingled with repeated cries of
" Time, time," issued from all parts of the room.
A. 20 minutes past one Mr. White, M.P.,
George Moore, Mr. Nicholay, Mr. D. Chinery, Col.
Sykes, M.P., P. A. Taylor, Mr. Crawford, M.P.,
Mr. Daulton, M.P., Mr. Ayrton, M.P., Mr. M.
Chambers, Mr. S. Morley, Mr. D'lffanger, P.
Rogers, Esq., Mr. Abel Smith, Rev. Dr. Massie, E.
Beale, Esq., Sir John Shelley, W. Lawson, M.P.,
Alfred Brett, Eso., Sir R. Clifton, J. Goschen, Esq.,
M.P„ Mr. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. J. H. Heeps, and
a number of other
_gentlemen entered the non],
when,
On the motion of Mr. AYRTON, M.P., Mr. Craw-
ford, M.P. for the City of London, was called upon
to fill the chair.
Mr. CRAWFORD, on taking his seat, said he held
it to be the duty of a representative of the people
invariably to attend to the representations made to
them, and it having been represented to him that it
was the desire of several of his most influential sup'
porters that he should attend that meeting, he had
no hesitation in doing so and placing his services as
a public man connected with the City at the disposal
of the committee. He felt that in the City of
London there was but one feeling in favour of G,ll.
Garibaldi, and in whatever form the committee
might choose to convey that feeling of high
approval, he was sure the gallant general would not
amongst the honours he would receive in England
think the least of that tendered to him by the inks'
bitants of the City of London. (Cheers.) He would
then call upon Mr. Richardson, the secretary to tie
City committee, to state to the meeting the arrange'
meats that had been made for the great demonstra'

tion on Monday next.
Mr. RICHARDSON then read the arrangements of
the united committees, which were precisely the
same as those published in The Sun, and concluded
by saying that, as far as it is possible for a body of
men to arrange such a proceeding, he believed the
committee had taken every precaution to secure the
greatest success and order on Monday next, on
which day General Garibaldi would arrive at the
Nine Elms station of the London and South
Western Railway, at half-past two o'clock.
The CHAIRMAN then called upon one of his col"
leagues in the representation of the city of Louden
in Parliament to move the first resol ratios
(Cheers.)
Mr. GOSCHEN then came forward, and said the
only thing he had, as a complaint against tbo
Garibaldi Reception Committtee, was, that the/
only asked him to move the resolution he held je
his hand, as he came into the room. In weaving
a wreath for such a brave and gallant man ue
Garibaldi, one must not take up every twig loud
by the wayside —(hear, hear, and cheers)—he de'
served one of more than ordinary grandeur'
He thought the object of the present meeting We°
to take the opinion of the city of London ea tbe
conduct of Garibaldi, but there was but one opiujell,
upon that—(cheers)—and he felt certain the galleu;
general would properly estimate the feeling of tb
citizens of London. The_ hon. gentleman then poi"
needed to eulogise the romantic and disinterest 7.
life of Garibaldi, and concluded by moving the ht)
lowing resolution :
" That this meeting recognises in General Garibaldi (313°
of the most distinguished and pure-hearted of modell
patriots, and the devoted and heroic champion not 014°,
the rights of the people of united Italy, but of the Pri°,,,„
ciples of universal liberty, and cordially approves of
measures taken by the Garibaldi Reception and Testitoorl.
Committee, and the Working Men's Committee, for
coming that illustrious man with a great popular dal°
stration on his arrival in this metropolis."
Mr. SAMUEL MORLEY, Ina very forcible sPeecii,
seconded the resolution. for
The CHAIRMAN then put it to the meetitlg 5t
adoption, when it was carried amidst the -eude
cheers. eoe`
Several other speeches were made, at the .13
elusion of which the proceedings terminated
the usual vote of thanks to the chairman.
