SIR GARNET WOLSELEY.
This distinguished officer arrived at Dover on the 28th October, crossing the Channel.in tremendous weather, but he proved as good a sailor as soldier, and does not fear mal de mer. His reception was most enthusiastic. Crowds lined the pier, notwithstanding the terrible gale blowing at the time. In answer, to addresses, he made a short speech eulogising the conduct of the troops under his late command. At Charing Cross station Mr and Mrs Gladstone and many members of both Houses assembled to greet him, and the day following his arrival he went, by command of the Queen, to Balmoral to receive her thanks.
