forty or fifty thousand. But he was a man Of

troops with skull, disposing them with advan-

tree stumps into cannon. He was man OF
remarkably versatile power. He was soon able

England resolved TO give him reception that
should be more gorgeous in character than any
reception ever given to any public man; and we
did. Nothing ever equalled it in GRANDEUR, in
enthusiastic demonstration, and in homage to
so great man.
Garibaldi calculated upon the fraternizing of
the Roman troops with the volunteers, and IL
was only under the pressure of France that this
heroic man was checked. But there is no fail

been extended. In Rome there meet now regu-
laIly Epscopalian, Wesleyan, and Methodist
CONGREGATIONS. 1000 priests have addressed a
letter to the Pope, asking him to lay down the
tempoia al power upon the altar of liberty, and
Italy is being renewed in spiritual light and life.
