SYMPATHY WITH GAIUBALDI.

The inhabitants of Gateshead assembled on Wed-
nesday evening to express their deep feeling of
sympathy with General Garibaldi under the mis-
fortune that had befallen him in seeking the en-
franchisement of his fellow-countrymen, and to take
such steps as might be thought most effectual for
impressing upon the Governments of Italy and
France, through the British Government, the strong
feeling that pervaded this country against the
adoption of any harsh proceedings against Gari-
baldi and his fellow prisoners of war. The meeting
was a crowded one.

Mr. Jos. COWEN, jun., was moved to the chair.

The CHAIRMAN regretted to say that the intel-
ligence received from Spezzia to-day was most dis-
couraging, and he had grave fears for the issue.
From a letter he had from an intimate friend of
Garibaldi's, and who had the best means of know-
ing the facts, he was sorry to say that the wounds
of the illustrious patriot were much worse than had
been represented by the Italian Government. The
reports sent to this country by telegraph had
much understated the danger in which Gari-
baldi's life had been and was in. He did not
wish to comment with unjust harshness upon
the conduct of the Italian Ministry to their
great captive, but he did think some greater
attention and consideration might have been
shown to him. (Applause.) One request only
Garibaldi made, and that might have been com-
plied with. He wished to have Dr. Bertani to
attend upon him, but the Government would not
allow him to do so. (Shame.) Bertani was not
only a skilful physician, but an intimate personal
friend of the general's, and a man he had the
greatest confidence in. As they all knew, when a
man was sick, to have faith in his medical attendant
was a great assistance to procuring a speedy reco-
very. (Applause.) If the request of Garibaldi had
been granted, possibly the dangerous situation in
which he was now in might have been averted. He
(the chairman) was glad, however, to have it in his
power to say that through the exertions of a few
English friends one of the most eminent surgeons
in the metropolis would start for Spezzia to-night
or to-morrow. (Cheers.) He hoped he would not
arrive too late, and that he would be instrumental
in giving relief to the magnanimous patriot, and re-
storing him to health once more. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Councillor I. C. JOHNSON moved the first re-
sAution—" That the following memorial to her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs be signed by the chairman in the name of
the meeting, and forwarded to Earl Russell." (The
memorial was the same as that adopted at the meet-
ing held in Newcastle on the previous evening.
The terms of the memorial elicited loud cheers.)
Mr. CRCKER seconded the resolution, which was
adopted unanimously.

The Rev. Wm. NEWTON, Unitarian minister,
moved the next resolution. Napoleon 111., Victor
Emmanuel, and the Pope had all said that Italy
should be free, and Garibaldi was only seeking to
carry out what they had expressed. He felt that
the Italians must have the centre of their kingdom
the centre of Italian unity; that they had waited
long enough for it. Of course, there were various
objections to this. The time had not exactly come,
and Napoleon 111. of France would not exactly
allow it. One did not know for what reason, but
he would not. And so he said Garibaldi had better
not do it. But what cared Garibaldi for Napoleon
the Third of France. (Cheers.) There were nobler
laws than his written in the heart of man—in-
scribed upon the human soul ; and God that was in
Heaven was greater than Napoleon the Third.
(Cheers.) So, despite all Napoleon's paltry diplo-
macy, Garibaldi felt he must go to Rome. Ile
knew the difficulties, but with the cry of " Rome or
death," he trusted in God—he trusted in the human
soul—he trusted in the future of Italy, and he
hoped he might be successful. The question
with him was, "Am I right ? And if I should be I
beaten in the pursuit of duty, will not God in the
future defend the right ?" (Cheers.) Mr. Newton
concluded by moving " That an invitation be sent
from this meeting to General Garibaldi, inviting
him to take up his residence in England."
Mr. SWAN seconded the resolution.

The CHAIRMAN, on putting the resolution, asked
to be permitted to make one observation with re-
ference to the three names of Cavour, Victor Em-
manuel, and Garibaldi, mentioned by Mr. Swan, as
the triumvirate that were to be the representative
names of Italian liberty. He was far from wishing
`to
detract from the fame of Count Cavour or Victor
Emmanuel; but there was one name that was
greater than either—one who had suught to pre-
serve Italian liberty, and bad produced Italian unity
when Victor Emmanuel and Count Cavour were in
direct hostility, and that name was Joseph Maz-
zini. (Loud cheers.) A. man more belied and less
understood, but at the same time such a man as had
never lived since the time of John Milton. They
ought to add his name to the others; and one proof
that Italy was capable or taking its position among
the ruling nations was the great men that had
sprung from it in the last few years.
The resolution was then put and carried unani-
mously, and after a vote of thanks had been passed
to the chairman the meeting soparated.—Newcastle
