General Garibaldi arrived in London on Monday, and was wel-

comed by a concourse of people as large as that which witnessed the entrance of the Princess of Wales. The enthusiasm mani- fested was extreme, and as there were no soldiers out, the carriage was five hours making its way from Nine Elms Station to Stafford House. On Wednesday evening the General's hosts gave an entertainment, .which was attended by the highest nobles in Great Britain ; and on Thursday the Opera House, Covent Garden, swarmed with Peers, and ladies rained flowers on the Liberator's head as he bowed to the throng. Lord Palmerston has already received the General—who, by the way, is honoured with a salute of fifteen guns—and the people still crowd in masses to catch a glimpse of his face. The Continent appears perfectly amazed at the depth and genuineness of the feeling manifested towards him, and half ready to attribute it all to some deep-laid plot of a perfidious aristocracy." The General has accepted an invitation from several places in the North, and will hold two receptions in London, one on Saturday, and the other on Monday, both at the Crystal Palace.
