The reception of Jules Favre, if he comes to London,

is likely to be a very imposing affair, perhaps as great an affair as the reception of Garibaldi. The Trades' Unions and the great Benefit Societies have taken up the project with interest, and at least twelve of the largest organizations in the country have promised their support. The object of the demonstration, as we understand it, is not to support a war policy, but to express the sympathy of Great Britain with France under her calamities, and the convic- tion that her Government ought to have been recognized. In addition to the Societies, the Irish in London are sure to turn out to a man, and the crowd will probably be without a precedent.
