GARIBALDI ENTERS NAPLES.
GAR1BALDI's ARRIvAL-GARIBALDI CAME IN FROM sA-
IERNo BY RAIL.
At the railway the National Guard were stationed
at all the entrances and flags were coming down in
rapid succession, for the arrival of the Dictator was
sudden like everything he does and the people were
unprepared. The waiting-rooms inside were full of
the most eminent characters of Naples, at least
among the liberals There were all the members of
the Comitato which has issued its mysterious COM
mands for so many months; Azala, the new com.
mander of the National Guard; Leopard, the histo-
rian; great many of our countrymen, Lord Liam

take place. At last twelve o'clock strikes, and
bell sounds, and from distance a signal is made
that Garibaldi is approaching. viva Girabaldi"

AN INTERVIEW WITH GARIBALDL
The following is an extract from letter from Mr.
Edwin James to a frieno:-
SALERSo, Sept. Go A. NJ
Under the gray twilight of September morning
we steamed out of the harbor of Naples in search
of Garibadi. Count Cavour had kindly placed at
our disposal Sandman Corvette, the Authon $50
named from the place where one of their great bat
ties had been gained and at half past eight o'clock
VIC had entered the beautiful bay of Salerno. A
sultry sun had struggled through the thick sea mist
and poured its ferccst rays upon the long row of
stately white houses which form the great strata of
Salerno. From the deck of the corvette we soon
observed that great excitement prevailed in the town;
the shore thronged with people; the whole
population, about 90 900, aStir. As we ap-
preached we could observe that bayonets glistened
in the sun, and the echoes of loud "vvaS" reached
us. What did it all mean? As we steamed slowly
towards the shore, the large crowd moved to the
p point where prepared to land and anxiously
watched the debarcation of our party-thc Hon.

of the South Italian beauty flashed from every case

ingly.
But who had arrived? Was Garibald here ?
Had the man whose name is now every lip reach
