London Correspondence.

IHS lOlloWlIlS eAITdCI is from lelleE VI
recent date, written by an American gentle
man now in London. 1t gives brief sketch
OF some OF the persons present at the dinner
recently given by Mr. Sanders to the repub-
lican leaders who are now in that city, ex-
lies from their native land The writer
says
1t was Que of the most interesting meet
Iings / ever attended 1t was a gathering
such as never probably shall see again,
and | accepted the invitation with much
pleasure, howeve; much | might have felt
at liberty to differ with them and him in
their policy. Several Americans were pres
Ient, and among them Mr.. Buchanan. Some
of the papers here wanted to know what the
American Minister was doing among this
- band of con8pirators' AS far as this
matter is concerned it is nobody's business,
and as long as he does his duty to his coun-
try and the government to which he is ac-
credited, no one has right to complain
when, where, or with whom he dimes. The
principal persons present were Kossuth,
Mazzini, Ladru Rollin, Orsini, Garabaldi,
Pulzsky, Worcell and Hertzen.
| Kossuh we know all about in the United
States. His conduct there was anything but
creditable to himselfas leader, and he was
obliged to leave the country in very un-
dignifed way. He is very pleasant ma n
in society, and talks well and with great
earnestness. He has an air of modesty and
calmness about him that is very winning
and is well calculated to make a great i'm.
preston at first sight.
Ledru Rolliu, the great French socialist
and leader, is man calculated to produce a
marked sensation. He is large in person
and fine looking. He speaks English very
badly, and it was quite funny to hear him
numbering the English, and in turn the
French. | could understand nearly all III
said to me in French, which, fear, is more
than he did when spoke to him in the same
language.
Pulzsky, you know, is the person whc
accompanied Kossuth in America, and is ;
very agreeable person.
Worcell, the Polish leader, and Hertzen
the Russian, are men Of great character an
energy, and, although they were not able tt
indulge much In conversation, produced
very favorable impression.
Orsini, the Italian, is the handsomest maj
| ever saw. His face is perfect study
He is of ore of the oldest families in Italy
and no doubt you will remember havin
often read of Orsinis at Rome. He coul(
not talk "a word of English, and yet he SCENE,
to enjoy everything that passed, as much a
if it had been a meeting of his own coun
trymen.
But the one liked most Of all was Cara
baldi. He completely captivated the com
pany. lie dressed very plainly, not evel
deigning to put on shirt collar. Remarka
}, bly, expressive, his face lights up as he begin
| a sentence, and before he concludes, there
seems to be perfect illumination arount
him. He is emphatically practical man
and, instead of remaining stationary, as tn
rest of the republican leaders seem to b
doing, looking on, it is true with intens
anxiety for the 'good time coming" he i
quietly pursuing his profession, and earnin!
money for his children's support. He is
lsailor, and brought ship from the Unite
States to this country.
Sir Joshua Walmsley, liberal member Q
Parliament, was also present. Mazzini
one of the most accomplished men | eve
met. He played upon the guitar and san
Italian battle songs with great taste an
; spirit. After twelve o'clock,SS Washington
birthday, they all sang the Marsellaise, an
as they warmed up with the progress of til
. song, their excitement and enthusiasm be
came very great. 1t was altogether mos
singular gathering, and very pleasant an
agreeable party.
