7HE GARIBALDI MEETING IN.-THE

CI ly.

We have received from Messrs. Taylor and Richardson,
honorary secretaries of the late City meeting, a copy of the
following correspondence :
"To General Garibaldi, &c.—Dear General,—l have the
honour to communicate to you that at a large and influen-
tial public meeting of the citizens of London, over which I
was called to preside, held at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street, on the 17th October instant, for the purpose of
publicly expressing their views of your disinterested
patriotism and devotion to the great cause of Italian free-
dom and unity, to sympathise with you in your present
sufferings, and also to protest against the foreign occupa-
tion of Rome, the following resolutions were unanimously
agreed to : That this mesting desires to express its deep
and heartfelt sympathy for General Garibaldi in his pre-
sent sufferings ; its admiration of the strength, integrity,
and noble patriotism of his character, and its earnest hope
that he may be restored to perfect health, and live to see
the aspiration of his life realised in a free, united, and con-
stitutional Italy. That this meeting declares its conviction
that the French occupation of Rome is a violation of the
rights of the Roman people, and a direct infraction of the
principle of non-intervention, sanctioned by all the great
powers, and that its continuance endangers the real inter-
ests of France herself, and the general peace of Europe.
That copies of the foregoing resolutions, signed by the chair-
man on behalf of the meeting, be forwarded to General
Garibaldi and to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
and that Earl Russell be earnestly and respectfully re-
quested to use all means within his power to obtain the
withdrawal of the French troops from Rome.—l have the
honour to be, dear General, your obedient, humble servant,

"WESTERN WOOD, Chairman.
" London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street,

London, October, 1862.

"To John Richardson, Esq., and John Robert Taylor, Esq.,
Honorary Secretaries, and Western Wood, Esq., M.P.
" Honoured Sirs,—l owe you many heartfelt thanks for
the enthusiasm you have spread abroad in the hearts of the
English people in favour of the Italian cause. With you
in England public opinion is a reality; this power I can
only compare to the queen of the universe, but a power to
which many, alas I prove unmindful. If the good will and
the influence of your Government could weigh with the
diplomatic doings of the Pope's soldier, we woilld all of us
thank a kind Providence for the results which would flow
from it, namely, a flagrant immorality abolished, and the
peace of Italy, which is part and parcel' of the peace of
Europe, established. Once more let me tender you my
thanks, gentlemen, for what you have tried to do on behalf
of my country. Ever yours, 66 G, GARIBALDI.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTE:aN.

Yesterday a deputation of shareholders ia this company
met the directors at the Euston station, Mr. R. Moon in the
chair, supported by members of the Board, to consider tho
present position of the company and the propositions of Mr
Wrigley and Mr. Gartside for advano'ng the interests of
the company, and of dividing the line, with a view to its
better management and working, into 10 or 12 different sec-
tions. A long discussion took place, and the conclusion
come to was understood to be in favour of the present policy
of the Board of directors, and against the proposition for
" districting" the line into the proposed system of sections.
There were about 50 shareholders present, and the proceed-
ings were adjourned to receive another deputation of pro-
prietors for the consideration of the same question, and of
other matters connected with the management.
