Garibaldi in England.

The Italian chieftain, Red Republican, demagogue, and anarchical, Garibaldi, has been recently made such a lion of in England that the true British lion must have retired to his den from jealousy, if not from shame. Those aristocratic fanatics, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, were conspicuous in their attentions to him, and after entertaining him sumptuously, headed a subscription to secure a permanent income to him and his family. The city of London voted him the freedom of its squares, streets, slums, and sewers.

It is a little remarkable how England appears to felicitate herself upon the troubles that disturb the peace and break down authority in other parts of the world. She hails with honors and hospitality the archfiends of national disorder and calamity from other lands, and gives them safe refuge and conduct. Yet her own strong Government, based on aristocratic conservatism, is altogether unsatisfactory to these agitators.--They would destroy it immediately if it were in their power. It is a singular pleasure, this, which England seems to enjoy, in hugging these monsters to her breast.--Let her beware. These disturbers of the peace and happiness of mankind may some day commend the poisoned chalice to her own lips. She cannot complain if the adder warmed in her own bosom shall sting her.
