GARIBALDI.

Describing the condition of Garibaldi, who once more, after 22 years, has taken up his quarters at Naples, the Daily News says ; —" Garibaldi lies stretched in a half-sitting' posture in an invalid chair, wrapped in a fawn colored mantle. Around him, in attitudes of evident solicitude, stands his wife, his pons, the physicians, and some young ia£ies. A parasol is held over his head, for the sun is hot. Little Manlio, whose golden locks, flowing clown to his shoulders, are surmounted by hiyh-crowned, soft felt hat, looks about him with evident interest. Menotti advances and bows repeatedly in answer to the continued cheering. It is a short but all too noisy quarter of an hour for the invalid. He is about to be tranferred from the steamer. We see the face ot the aged hero —alas, more aged than the actual number of his ye.irs warrants. He lies immovable. He cannot trim his head. In his left hand he holds a white handkerchief, which sometimes freely moves in answer to the. affectionate cheers.

His countenance wears the waxen tint i f confirmed sick, and his eyes are

cavernous. There is no Mgn of the emotion he must feel at again seeing Naples, returning as an invalid to seek health where he was once so strong a help. He is carried up the stsps of the villa and disappears, while th Q cheers continue unceasingly. Th© Syndic, on welcoming Garibaldi in the name of the city of Naples, received the fallowing reply : —" Naples is not only most beautiful, but also guod. and gamroua. I arrive here rather indisposed. T require rest and quiet. Pray tell the Neapolitans that i want no demonstrations, no visits, no visits at all—not even of my personal friends." He repeated these words, and today the wish of Garibaldi is placarded everywhere. It appears that, as soon as it was known that GariSaldi was worse than usual in health, the Esplorato, e, paddle-wheel despatch boat tne fastest in the Italian navy, was sent to Oaprera, and physicians having advised his reaioval lo Naples, this was carried out with every possibly tenderness.
