GARIBALDI'S ARREST.

A number of friends and companions of Garibaldi,
including the Deputies Crispi and Guerzoui, have
drawn up a solemn protest against the arrest of the
General at Figline. The document is as follows :
" The undersigned friends and comrades of Gen.
Garibaldi, witnesses to his arrest at Figline, make
this declaration.

" At Passo Corese, after having taken part in the
dissolution of the corps of volunteers fighting upon
Pontifical territory, the undersigned were authorised
by Gen. Garibaldi to travel by the special train that
had been granted him upon the express condition
that he should be conducted in perfect liberty to Flo-
rence. During the journey no act, either upon the
part of the General or of those by whom
he was accompanied, could give any pre-
text to change the arrangements made for
sending on the train to Florence. As a proof of
the pacific intentions of General Garibaldi, Deputy.
Crispi telegraphed at Narni station to the Rubat-
tine Company, asking in the General's name for a
steamer which should carry him from Leghorn
direct to Caprera.
"At Figline the train was stopped and Lieut.-
Colonel Camazzi, of the Carabineers, approached
General Garibaldi, asking to speak to him alone.
The station was militarily occupied by a division of
Bersaglieri, under the orders of Major Fiastri, and
by a strong detachment of Carabineers. A few
minutes afterwards the General left the carriage,
and we all left with him. We then heard General
Garibaldi say in a loud voice to Colonel Camazzi,
Have you the regular warrant of arrest?'

" The Colonel replied, ' No, I am simply ordered
to make the arrest.'

" The General answered, ' Then you commit an
illegal act. lam not guilty of any hostility against
the Italian State or against its laws. I am an
Italian Deputy, a Roman General elected by a
legally constituted Government, and an American
citizen. As such, and not having been taken in
any flagrant offence, I cannot be arrested, and you
and those who send you violate the law. But I de-
clare that I will not yield except to violence, and
that if you wish to arrest me you will have to carry
me by force.'

"At this moment we were all ready to defend the
General's person, the law, and good right. The
General declared that he would not permit tree vio-
lence employed towards him to be met by further
violence, and that ho would never be a party to a
conflict with Italian soldiers. ' Therefore,' he con-
tinned abandon all idea of resisting in arms. If I
had wished to resist by arms I should have begun
by making use of those that were at my disposal, in
place of giving them up at the frontier.' We obeyed.
" in tny spectators hal gathered round, in
order to avoid any collision, and to put an chil to
a sight so humiliating to the country, Dopnty
Crispi telegraphed twice to the President of the
Council of Ministers, demanding in the name of
Italy a reversal of the order, and affirming that the
General only wished to return to his home at
Caprera. We asked Colonel Camazzi to afford the
delay necessary to receive an answer from Florence,
and we also begged him to telegraph himself sup-
porting our request. Colonel Carnazzi, however,
positively refused to accede to this latter request.
" About an hour having passed without any
telegraphic reply received from Florence, the
colonel of the Carabineers declared that the time
had come to carry out his orders. Notwith-
standing the statement, several times repeated, of
General Garibaldi, that he was fatigued, ill, ex-
hausted by several days' privation, and that he

could not endure the serious trial of a ',fresh
journey, the colonel remained inexorable. Four
Carabincers approached the General, and
the non-commissioned officer by whom they
were commanded invited him in the name of his
superiors to follow. The General, persisting in his
first determination, was lifted by up the Carabineers,
carried from the spot where he was seated in the
waiting room, and thu.l transported, amidst the
most solemn silence of his friends, to the carriage
destined for him.

" Deputy Crispi, in the name of all present, ener-
getically protested against this violation of the law,
and the insult thus offered to the greatest citizen
of Italy.

" The General's family and servants had received
permission to accompany him ; but his son-in-law,
Canzie, was the only one who remained with him.
Col. Camazzi was seated in the same compartment,
and several carriages filled with Bersaglieri and
Carabineers preceded and followed that in which
the General was confined. Garibaldi left for a
destination unknown to us, and this is not the place
to say by what feelings we were animated.

" We attest the above as the exact and historical
truth of what took place."

111US1CA1, EN TERTAINMEN7 S.

Her Majesty's Theatre reopened last week for a
short season, and one that is most welcome at a
time when there is absolutely nothing going on in
the musical world. The Covent Garden Concerts
are over—Strauss and his exquisite dance music
have passed away—the Monday Popular Concerts
have not yet begun—so that we are very grateful
for the chance of hearing once more Signor Arditi's
splendid orchestra, and the queenlike voice of Mdlle
Titiens. A new singer, Mdlle Kellog, the Ameri-
can prima donna, appeared last Saturday in the
character of Marguerite in Gounod's "Faust." She
created a decided impression in her favour, and
notwithstanding a little nervousness, gave unmis-
takeable indications of being a true artist. Another
interesting feature in these performances is that
Mdlle Clara Doria (the daughter of Mr. John
Barnett, the composer) is to make her debut in
the course of the present season. On the first night
the house was full to overflowing to hear Mdlle.
Titiens, and among the audience were the Prince
of Wales, Prince and Princess Christian, and
Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar.

Mr. Arthur Chappell has issued the prospectus
of the tenth season of the Monday Popular Con-
certs. There will be sixteen Monday evening per-
formances, and in addition, seven concerts to be
given on Saturday mornings. Madame Arabella
Goddard is announced to appear on Monday even-
ings, Nov. 11, 18, and Dec. 2 ; and Mr. Charles
Halle on Mondays, Nov. 25, and Dec. 9 and 16.
Herr Wilhehnj is engaged as principal violinist
for the season before Christmas. Signor Piatti
will hold the post of principal violoncellist during
the entire season. Madame Schumann is engaged
for January and February. Herr Joachim will
make his first appearance on Feb. 17, and will
remain till Easter, and Herr Strauss and Patter
will also appear in January, Mr. Benedict, as here-
tofore, the conductor. These concerts, the most
refined and elegant that have ever been given in
this country, promise to be more than ever suc-
cessful.

The Crystal Palace Concerts have once more
become very fascinating. The interminable Opera
Concerts during the summer season may have been
effective in drawing in huge crowds the fashionable
world, on whom good music is ever thrown away,
who bow down before Patti and are moved to
ears by a waltz of Messrs. Godfrey and Coote.
With the exception of one short overture, the dash-
ing orchestra of Mr. Manns literally did nothing.
Now we have returned to better things, and we
heartily greet such concerts as that which on Satur-
day was distinguished by the performance of Men-
delssohn's " Walpurgis Night," one of the finest,
as regards the orchestra and chorus, that has been
heard in England. This was followed by a brilliant
performance of Mendelssohn's Concerto in G minor,
by Madame Arabella Goddard. The programme,
moreover, included Mozart's overture to " Figaro,"
the aria "Non pia Andrai," sung by Mr. Lewis
Thomas ; " Batti, batti," from " Don Giovanni,"
murdered by Miss Edith Wynne, and "Be thou
faithful," sung very indifferently by Mr. Wilbye
Cooper. The concert concluded with Beethoven's
sublime overture "Leonora."
