LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3. credit for as much sincerity as we firmly believe ani mates him, when we assert most solemnly that in the application of this epithet we ISM MS aware that we had been guilty of any act which as give him the slightest ure. We ere unpainted with several tractarian clergymen, and we know not one who is Warned of the epitiist, or who would deny the "soft impeachment" contained in the word. We have always thought that they were rather proud of the appellation. We had imagined that like many nicknames, it had come to be considered a word of honour by those to whom it was applied. We had no more idea that Mr. DENISON would object to be called a tractarian, than would Mr. CLose to be calkel an "evangelical." A " tractarian" is one who, professing to continue in the communion of the church of England agrees in the main with the views on church doctrine and discipline enunciated in the well known publications known by the name of the "Oxford Tracts." Does Mr. DENISON deny that his own theory of church principles approxi mates more closely to these views than to those of any other body of men in the church ? If so, we are perfectly willing to give him the full benefit of his denial, and to confess ourselves in the wrong. We assure him that we make this confession in all honesty of heart In the mean time we must be allowed to make two important observations on this WE looked to our Alexandrian letters as the moat important part of the Indian mail just arrived, being anxious to learn the circumstances of the new griev ance which caused the Porte to send its pe remptory remonstrance against the Suez railroad. Eseryone is aware of the bickerings between the Turkish and Egyptian governments, and no doubt one of their effects is to give activity and hope to malcontents in both countries. This being the state at things, it was announced some time once, our Alexandria correspondent writes, that a division of Turkish troops. led by a Pasha, were to pass through Egypt to the Hedjas. To Egyptian government did not object to their transit; but refused to permit them to peas, armed, through the cities of Alexandria and Cairo. They were ac cordingly disarmed on entering the walls, and their arms restored when they quitted them. Ames l'esge gave them from two to three thousand preach, of which they were in need. It is said to be a rule in Egypt, that no soldier, not on actual service in those towns, is allowed to carry army in them. But the disarming of these troops has angered the St et V,. government, which in retaliation has despatched the peremptory message to Alexandria, of which the journals have already given the con tents. Thi. last cause of quarrel, which we hope was not prposely created by designing men at Constanti nople, is greatly to be regretted, for Aunts I'ASTIA was on the point of yieldiug, and is ready still to r yield to that demand of the Porte, which insists on his tusking permission to undertake the railroad. The reluctance of the PASHA to make this demand hitherto is represented to proceed from a fear lest the precedent should be established, that previous to making any financial outlay, or deciding any impor tant immure, he should lie bound to consult the ministers fur the time being at Constantinople. This would paralyse the power of the Pestle, who, his tribute once paid, esteemed himself free to expend his revenues in the way he deemed heat suited to the country, and who, though feeling himself bound to join in the general policy adopted by the head of the Ottoman empire, onegelers that the internal government of Egypt was formally made over to .IEIIEMET Ale and his de seendantic 'flue only other cause of complaint and objection brought forward by the Turkish cabinet against the Pacha of li4iT PT in the matter of the railroad is represented by our well-informed correspondent in Alexandria as without f o undation. The Porte objects to the PASHA'S raining a loan even for the most useful purpose, or mortgaging in any way the public revenue of the country. Deere is no need, however, for even raising the question, the revenues of Egypt being sufficient to meet the expenses of the line. Mr. STEPHENSON'S estimate of the whole cost of the line, extending over one hundred and thirty miles, does not exceed iteeteeif. The engineering expones are calculated at 1011. a mile. The ground 14 the Pestle's or the Desert's. The cog of the material is esti mated at about 110,000 e One hundred miles of rail have been already ordered in this country, and six beemotives. 'rhe works will require three years to complete. And an expenditure of 7110,0110/. spread over three years is not above what the regular revenues of Egypt can meet. In support of this it is urged that the government of Egypt has already expeuded upon public works more consider able sums than the railroad will cost. The bridge fig the barrage of the Nile alone coat 750,000 e The foitititatione of Alexandria cost fittneelfft, without cooq g the price of the materials. Yet Egypt ineurred no debt. Neither did it ask the SULTAN permission to undertake these works. It might be suspected that the revenues of Egypt, heuever able to bear these expenses under MeiteMET Ai I, who cartel little what !RIMS of money or what months of labour he exacted from the fella/is, might not he able to support them under the more humane government of his grandson. And the truth is, that, notwithetanding the great increase in the resources of Egypt, of which the account we published wane time; sinee of the customs n mints stands as a proof, the revenue is still ahem the same that it was calculated by Dr. Kee mei.; that is to say, two millions and' a half electing. This is owing to the great reduc tion made in the capitation tax —that which weighed [waviest on the peusant—since the ores- MIMI of the present Pnsite, a reduction estimated at :130.000e sterling. (In the other hand, the expenditure has been reduced in proportion. Theme amongst us and amongst our neighbours the French, who were great admirers of the armies of lilentsier Ate, ought to be aware how dearly its efficiency was purchased. A colonel in that army was paid tell. a month ; no wonder French officers flocked to it. Officers of the some rank now receive but 3ffe, and generally the pay of all Egyptian officers and r,ul,l o a'a have been reduced one-half. From 40,000 tlw army itself has been reduced to:10,000, and will be further reduetel to 21000. It is, therefore, by economy in expenditure more than even by re nu-siou of taxation that the Egyptian government is enabled to meet the expense of the railroad with, out recurring to a loan. Although these circumstances hare been repre sented to the l'orte, the St LTAN'S ministers profess themselves not satisfied with such explanation; and they ask to hsvo the whole of Egyp tian finance laid bare for their examination, in order for them, the Turks, to judge whe ther the revenues of Egypt can realty meet the proposed expense, or whether • serious debt may not perchance be incurred. To such an act of tutelage and interference the Egyptian government resolutely demurs, as degrading, sad as opening the door to all kinds of objection sad • chicane. And we must conks.% the authorities of Constantinople strike us as pushing their pretensions too for. We shall not for the present discuss this differ ence. which would lead us into the whole question of the . ranzimaut. There are undoubtedly pkeity of loop holes in the Matti-Sheriff and the Ttinsiniout, to en able the Porte to pick a 9inirrel with Egypt; and there are sufficient difficulties in reconciling the suze rainty of one power and the independence of the other, to afford a fair cause of resistance, if Ari.ts PASHA choose to go that length. But what we have to fear is, that ABS es,desiroes of getting out of difficulties, should sacrifice the railroad to them. This would be a great blow to our comniereial interests, and as err , tatnly not required by the interests of Turkey. We arc most ready to support all the just pretensions, and every useful supremacy of the SULTAN ; bolt in quarrels got up for quarrels' sake, and in pre tensions that are put forward, not from a seam of justice, but in a spirit of vindictiveness and retaliation, even Itescotte PASHA does not merit oar approbation or support. There is now no real, fair, or patent cause of difference between Egypt and the Porte. We thought the l'eene wrong at first in giving cause of umbrage at Constantinople ; but sew ing the concessions he his consented to make, it is now the turn of the Porte to concede, and be reasonable. imbject. In the first place Mr. DENISON'S letter contains nothing which can by any ingenuity be possibly twisted into such a denial. He says: - - • • - If by a tractarian be meant one who finding his lot cast in days when the church is actively assailed from without and from within, labours u be humbly trusts " for con science sake," and for the love of him who died fur us all, to present that church more and more before the world NI • reality, as a living principle, active and exercising for the good of the souls and bodies of mankind, upon certain definite rules, not of man's making but of God's makiiig, If this be what is meant by a tractarian, then I am a " traeta rian." But if anythinz more than this,'.or different from this, is meant by a tractarian, then I am not a tractarian. Now, it is a mere superfluity to observe, that if the first hypothetical definition whicfi Mr.l./EsisoN givas be the true one, there is no evangelical clergyman in the kingdom who would not wnte tractarianism as his banner, and that every pastoral charge made by the great opponent of the Oxford divines, the Ands, bishop of CANTERBURY, might be bound up with the " Tracts for the Times." But we know very well, and Mr. DEsisoN knows as well as any of us, that between him and the evangelical clergy there is a great gulf—that the only common bond of union which he would recognise between him and them, that of " orders," is one which they treat as one very fur subordinate to many others which he, on the contrary, treats with little consideration. He knows that he has coincided with the Bishop of Extrre:a in the latter's excommunica tion of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. The direct opposition between the men would lead us at once, without ally other assistance, to come to the conchs - non that there must be a wonderful diversity in the principles which actuate them. The Archbishop would repudiate tmctarianism as we have defined it. Will Mr. DENtsoN do this? "To present the church more and more before the world as A RE.A• LITY, a living principle, active, and exereisingfor the good of the souls and bodies of mankind, upon certain definite rules, not of man's making, bet at Goes making," is the object of every party in the church. The great ques tion is, how is this to be done? On this point treeterkuis and evangelicals diverge in as great a degree as catholic, and protestants. " I shall stand by my dear old mother the church," said Montrz vom llurrix, Bishop of Eichstadt, president at a contro versial meeting, held at Regensburg, in the year 1340, between the catholic and protestant doctors -" Du so," replied the protestant theologians, "only take care you stand by the riyht mother." In the second place, if Mr. Itr.sisoN means to deny being a tructarian, in the sense in which we have defined the word, the sense in which we make bold to say all the world understands it, he has himself to thank fur the error of which we have been guilty in applying the epithet to him. We are willing to let the whole vindication of our fault, if fault it be, rest upon the meaning to be attached to the following passage front one of Mr. DENISON'S latest publications— I hold, as has always been held'in and by Tor. Curviest Cavitimie, that without the imposition of the bishop's kends, there is, under tho ordinary providence of God, neither priest our sacraments; in other words, that there is Nu Cinittn. This is the brawl doctrine broached by: the trac- Wilms. This is their distiortire doctrine. If We remember rightly, their first tract began with an ex hortation to increased reverence for episcopal autho rity. Gradually the authors sketched out and de veloped a larger scheme, of which the fundamental doctrine was the germ. The SAvtoutt had, accord ing to this, established when on earth a form of government fur his church. This form was to be held holy and unalterable. Bishops, priests, and dea cons were its chief features. A portion of the spirit de scended on the apostles, and this neither strayedon the right side nor the left, but was confined to them, and transmitted by them only to the bishops whom they appointed, who were to be the sole channels for the transmission of the same to succeeding bishops. The bishops being the sole depositaries of the spirit could alone communicate it. But there were certain holy institutions in the church—the sacraments — these could only bo celebrated by duly appointed ministers. Duly appointed means episcopally ap- pointed. No church was possible without due pro vision for the celebration of the sacraments—hence no church no bishop. This is the simple tractarian theory. Does the above extract convict Mr. DENI SON of having adopted it or not*? We leave our readers to decide. In the meantime, giving Mr. DENk•ON all credit fur sincerity, we must still declare our conviction, that unless he is enabled to give a different interpretation to many of his previous words and actions, it will be difficult to persuade the world that he is not a tractarian in the sense in which we, at leant, interpret the word. Ova readers will notice in our columns of to-day a l e tt er from the Rev. G. A. DulsoN. The writer professes to be afraid that nothing that he can say “ will find credence with the Express." Now, we assure Mr. DENISON that so far is it from the fact that his fear has any real foundatio n , t h at i t i s only oar peofound belief in his thorough earnestness, only our sincere conviction that he is one of those men who believe all that they assert, and who strive might and main to act u p on t h e i r b el i ef, that has induced us to give him the prominence in our columns of which he appears to complain. We think that he is mischievous precisely because he is sincere. FRANCE. Mr. DENISON'S object in writing to us is, aa far as we are able to judge, to deny the propriety of the epithet " traetarian," which we applied to him in a late article. Now we trust that he will give um the soluelllihWe to the Martini loan, Each of the Cheakber would not advance the Wit t hill only alienate the Modertte Un *is cu mi n istanaes many re dwai Vireo is the representative, end the shollths d the law of May, u that sr to Ike President the fairest chance ▪ ul • einem But thole do not sullickntiv eoesider the impediments which he would meet with from the party et the Rue des Pyramidal, upon whom his t has rested hitherto entirely for were the President to strike without delay Nam at once popular and ambitisla While the plaepects of the Elyse are am perplexed wkh political difficulties on all sides, it is satishebary to hear that the members of the B family do their stated to contribute to hie relief from financial embarrass ments, although few of his relatives remain rich enough to bed emit service in this way. In the meantime, the Orleanists and legitimists arc making great efforts to cone to an understanding on some common candidature which shall be strictly neutral. But the Messager will not consider as neutral one who votes against the motion of :Creton, and the Union will not consider neutral one who votes for that proposition. The party of Berryer are willing to come to an understanding with the Orleanists, on repealing the laws of banishment against the Bourbons, if the candidature of the Prince de Joinville be withdrawn, but not else. The former can only see in this candidature a re gentist intrigue, and they insist upon its being dis avowed before they will come to any understanding. The Orleanists answer that in all events, if the election of the President fall—as it is all but certain to do—into the hands of the Assembly, the legiti mists will have it in their power to defeat the regentist intrigue of which they complain, by re fusing to elect the Prince de Joinville, and therefore have no rational ground for voting against the wo position-Creton. In the progress of these polemics, it would seem as if the legitimists were becoming more and more distrustful of General Changarnier, whom they suspect of playing under his neutral mask, the game of the regency. The Bulletin de Puns represents as unfounded and absurd the continually repeated rumours of a disagreement in views between the President and the cabinet. The same paper speaks of a despatch of one of the ambassadors of the great powers to his government wherein it is seriously stated that the Assembly will be violently dissolved if revision should not be carried by the next vote, and protests against such misrepresentations of the intentions of the government. The Committee of Permanence held a sitting to day, under the presidency of M. Daru, which only lasted half an hour, and presented no interest what ever. Twenty-four members were present. No speech was made, nor any motion appeared on the order of the day. The committee adjourned to the 16th instant. It appears that an offer has been made to Prince de Joinville to bring him forward as a candidate for the representation of the Northern department, by the resignation of the present member, but the Prince has written to decline this proposal. It will be remembered that some time before the recess of the National Assembly a law was passed authorising the augmentation of the gendarmerie. The Moniker de l'Ar»ole announces that limti of the 231 brigades authorised by the new law are already completely organised. At the opening of a long article on the situation, Dr. Vcron assumes that M. Thiers is about to go to Claremont, and that on the return of the Assembly he will make a grand speech on the motion of M. Creton, distinctly proposing the candidature of the Prince de Joinville. TheSentop/wre of Marseilles says of Kossuth mid his companions: • In consequence of applications to the local authorities by the consul of the United, States, Kossuth and his companions obtained permission to disembark. On the Tith and tlith these noble exiles were seen to pass through our streets. They lodged at the Hotel des Ambassaileurs,and thought they would have been permitted to cross France on their way to England, when a telegraphic despatch arrived, it is said, on the 26th, which put an end to this hope. Kossuth quitted the hotel of the ►tue Beauvau at two, to return on board the Mississippi. The illustrious refugee was followedby groups which accompanied him with cries of " Vice Kossuth ! Vise la Ilongrie ! Vice la Republique !" lie appeared much moved with this reception. The police, which did not fail to arrive, soon ii spersed this crowd, which then hurried towards the new port, where the American frigate was anchored. When Kossuth had embarked, new cheers were given. The Mississippi would have sailed immediately, but was de tained by tbs bad weather. She will weigh anchor as soon as the state of the sea permits. GERMANY. AUSTRIA. _ VIENNA, Sara% 28. The Military Gazette announces that the appoint ment of Prince Windischgratz has not taken place. The apparent contradiction between this and a former statement requires explanation. The Military Gazette is quite correct in stating that the appointment has not taken place; for, though the government may appoint an individual to a high post, it dues not fol low that he must accept the appointment. On the night previous to the Emperors' departure for Italy, a cabinet council was held, which lasted until a late hour, and after which the whole of the ministry supped with the Emperor. At this sitting the appointments of Archduke Albrecht as Governor-Gene ral of Hungary, and of Prince Windisehgratz of Bohe mia, were decided on, and at the imperial supper table the former was announced to the Archduke by the Emperor himself, in a toast to the health of the new goventor. Archduke Albrecht had no choice but to accept the office, which I have no doubt he did very willingly. Prince Windischgnitz, however, is not a member of the royal family, and not bound therefore to accept unconditionally any post which may be offered to him. That the appointment has been drawn out and signed is correct, but the ministry committed a great oversight in not first in quiring of Prince Windischgnitz whether he would accept it. lie is unwilling to do so upon the terms on which it is offered.

The New York and Havre Steam Navigation Com pany's steamer Franklin, Captain James A. Wotton, arrived at Southampton yesterday, as announced by electric telegraph, and landed her mails under the charge of Win. W. Hincken. Her dates are, New York September 20. Her cargo comprises 600,00 0 dollars specie for Havre and 200,000 dols. for Lon don. She brings news of a fire at Sacramento, by which property to the amount of 30,000 dols. was destroyed. Our correspondent writes as follows : NEW YORK, SEPT. 20. The Franklin, which leaves this port to-day, car ries out but a moderate amouut of specie in com parison with that she was expected to take. The stringent measures of our banks have brought many people to their senses, at least those who would continuo to import goods from abroad as long as they can borrow money to do so. For a time business will have to be done on its own capital. We know that the orders gone out the last two months have been quite small. The pressure here is enormous, and failures are constantly taking place. As a temporary relief, however, we have the news of the arrival of two of our Chagres steamers (though in distress) at the southern ports of Norfolk and Savannah. Overtaken by a severe gale, the Illinois and Brother Jonathan were obliged to seek these friendly harbours. They havo brought over two millions of gold dust, which will be here in the course of a couple of days. The news from Cali- fornia is at least a week later than that previously communicated by me, but our accounts of these ar rivals are telegraphic and quite meag re. Tho weather in California had been extremely favourable for milling operations, and gold was being produced in great abundance. The two great local events of the hour are the annual fair at Rochester, in this state, and the cele bration of the opening of the lines of railways con necting Boston with the Canadas. The Canadians have come in large force to both these celebrations. Lord Elgin and suite arrived at Boston the day before ycsterday,where he met the President and apart of his cabinet. The meeting between the two principal personages was without ceremony, and of the most cordial character. The following is a report of some of the proceedings most interesting probably to your readers: Lord Elgin arrived at the depot of the Western Road at 5 o'clock. The city government, the cadets known as the " governor's guards," and a large crowd of citizens were gathered to receive him. Lord Elgin saluted all who approached him by a hearty shake of the hand, and was cheered most enthusias tically by the assemblage. Lord Elgin was accompanied by Lord Mark Kerr, Major Cotton, his aides, and his brother, Colonel Bruce. _ _ _ _ ling of Preemie continues to diriplay, but at all emits It has become a conviction in high quarters Ihist the new system must be dropped as a failure, and the old one re-introduced. It is not improbable that many , and even great changes will be made in the details of the old system, but the federative ndnciple will be re-acknowledged and re-installed. In Hungary, for example, a Hungarian Landtag or Diet will most probably be established, of course with very restricted privileges. The governor-general, in the of Archduke Albrecht, assisted by . a com saiseimnsr possessing some experience of cavil we vernmsat wilt be the direct medium between the saw& and this portion of his territories ; the Meant ministers will subside into directors of ents ; and the imperial council, " the Reichs farm' which is to be established, will be equally the creatures of the emperor's will ; his wishes will be their law. One would naturally infer, from tho prospect of such an important change, and from the pertinacity and energy with which the old system has been combated, that the advocates and ministers of cen tralisation would cede their posts to those of fede ralisation. Nothing more junlikely. Dr. Bach, for instance, is supple and pliant, and capable of digest ing any amount of political dirt. He will assist with readiness in carrying out the destruction of his once favourite schemes. One construction that must ine vitably bo put upon this change, no matter how gradually it may be introduced, is that the govern ment has been most glaringly defeated, and is com pelled to acknowledge in the most effective manner the righteousness of the cause for which the Hun garian people took up arms. There is one other circumstance connected with the article in the Lloyd which must not be slighted. It is the fact that it appears in that journal, and is a favourable notice of a prospective change in a system of which the Lloyd has been the most determined, untiring advocate. In no journal has the system of centralization received more consistent and thorough support than in the Lloyd, even unto the most un sparing and vicious personal attacks upon the advo cates of federalisation. The sudden veering of such a journal is remarkable, and is in itself a proof et the truth of the information which it publishes. Soothed as Prince Metternich must be by the course of events which permits him to return to the metropolis and the court in which he has spent so many years of ministerial labour, the wounds in flicted on his vanity by his compulsory flight, and the total change of his system of government, must receive an additional and highly grateful balm from the total failure of his successors and their compul sory return to his policy. Prince Schwarzenberg had a long interview with the aged ex-minister yesterday. It is rumoured that the levy of recruits in the en suing year will comprise but a very small con tingent of the usual numbers, owing to the large levies made during the present twelvemonth. The ambassador of 'lease Cassel has officially noti fied the intention of his sovereign to visit Vienna in the month of October. The Elector is moving heaven and earth to procure from the great powers of Germany, including of course Russia, their sanction to a plan for transferring the succession to his son by the morganatic marriage with the Countess Schaumburg . . An iinpenal decree, published in the Vienna Ga ulle, announces a long-delayed act of justice on the part of the Finance Minister. During the French invasion, in the years 1801, 5,6, and 9, the credit of the Austrian government was at an end, and its finances exhausted, while its wants were greater than ever. In its need, an appeal was made to the pro-1 vincial estates in Upper and Lower Austria and Styria, and subsequently extended to every province in the empire, exhorting them to furnish the govern ment with funds, raising them by loan or other- 1 wise. A patriotic feeling pervaded the assembled notables in the three duchies just named ; they raised a sum of twenty millions among themselves, expect ing that the government would eventually acknow ledge the debt, and pay them interest at the rate of 5 per cent. The other provinces made a regular bar gain with the government, which has been faithfully fulfilled; but, as no bargain had been entered into with Lower and Upper Austria and Styria, the go vernment, after the war, refused to admit the debt, and has paid neither interest nor principal. The loss to many of the leading families in the three pro vinces has been enormous, and several have been ut terly ruined by this flagrant breach of good faith and hencsty. During the whole period which has since elapsed the efforts of the sufferers by this dis honesty to procure redress have been in vain. No former Finance Minister ventured to adjust the un pleasant claims, and the Reichstag of ItliS was dis solved before the financial question had reached a point at which such details could be submitted to it, or it could think of increasing the national debt. Baron Krauss would, perhaps, not have thought the present a fitting moment for attempting an ar rangement, had he succeeded in getting the eighty five millions he asked for in his new loan. Finding all his efforts baffled ho has recourse to an expe dient, which, while it does tardy justice to a class of creditors, will materially swell the amount of sub scriptions to his loan. He has, by this decree, of: fered to the possessors of what are called Upper and Lower Austrian and Styrian "domestic obliga tions," to accept them as subscriptions to the new loan at their market value, provided the holders will consent to subscribe an equal amount. To ex plain, the finance minister accepts "domestic obliga tions" to the amount of 1,000 florins at their market value-50 per cent. discount—as a subscription of 500 florins, the holder adding a real subscription of the same amount. There are several classes of these ' " domestic obligations," some purporting to bear 5, others 3, 21, and 2 per cent. interest. tor the latter the arrangement is the same in proportion. As the holders of such obligations naturally deem it a great boon that their debt is at last acknowledged, and as they are for the most part men of money or landed property, there is every probability of the finance minister's finding the subscriptions to the loan in creased by twenty millions. It is a just measure, and a financial dodge. The Presse mentions That a new railway police law may be expected in a very few days. Field Marshal ltadetzky, in a general order,-com municates to the Austro-Italian army the great satis faction of the Emperor with the performance and ap pearance of the troops during the recent reviews and The mayor welcomed him ns follows : Your Excellency,—ln the name of any fellow citizens, I , welcome you to the metropolis of New England. We re cognise you not only as the ruler of extensive and im portant provinces, but as the principal representative on this continent of the venerated land of our ancestors. It is told of Saiuoset, the Indian chief, that his first saluta tion to the pilgrims at Plymouth was, " Welcome, wel come, Englishmen." Such was the ;meting of the old warrior to those who were to invade the hunting grounds and extinguish the council fires of his race. With a better augury for the future, it becomes me, on this occasion, to repeat that salutation, and say—lVelcorne, Englishmen, anal their fellow subjects, who come to us under circum stances so auspicious fur our own and their prosperity. — There is a special interest connected with your Lacellen , cy's visit at this time, gracing, as it does with your pre sence, the establishment of a social and commercial alliance between this city and the C.marlas. Lines of intercom munication have been opened, by which the products of your provinces can find speedy and convenient transit to the sea. The railways which unito us are works more truly admirable than the wondrous avenues which radi ated from Imperial Rome—avenues for facilitating the march of invading armies, or returning chariots laden with the spoils of desolated countries. Our own iron pathways, the result of scientific labour and skill—skill unequalled by ancient times—arc devoted to far different objects. They unite, in friendly relations, the inhabitants of widely separated regions, minister to their mutual wants, diffuse abroad the means of knowledge, and scatter plenty through a smiling laud. Our festival may be considered in some. respects, as the celebration of a conjugal union be tween Canada and the Oscan. We can dispense with the golden ring which was used in the espousals of Venice with the waters of the Adriatic, for this union is effected by bands of iron, which at once attest its perpetuity and strength. My local, the connexion which, hereafter, is to subsist Iniween the people whom you govern, and the At lantic States, is, perhaps, in no small degree, a pledge and a unit-mace of perpetual amity between the British anal Lierican nations. The memory of their fratricidal con flicts is fading away, and the history . thereof, I trust, is completed for ever. The record of their generous rivalry fins pre-eminence in the arts of peace, is now opening, anal is destined to exhibit the brightest pages in the annals of their • 'lemon race. Such, lam confident, are the antici pations and hopes of the people for whom I speak, anal they enhance the pleasure with which they salute you, as their welcome and honoured guest. Lord Elgin replied as follows : Mr. Mayor and gentleman,—l am quite overcome by this kind and cordial reception. But, gentlemen, I have been travelling all day, anal any throat is so full of dust that you will excuse me it I do not attempt to follow the mayor in his most eloquent address: but there is one thing he has said which I cannot allow to pa. unnoticed. Ile has sug gested that we should consider this celebration the conjugal union of the Canaalas with the Ocean. Whatever may be my object in cooling to Boston, I assure you, sir, that I do not come to forbid the banns. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) I appreciate must highly the sentiments of personal regard which you have so kindly expressed towards me, and still more highly do I appreciate the assurances you luso given me of your respect and consideration for my sovereign and my country, and for that great rising Canadian people upon whose prosperity anal welfare my hopes, and my feelings, and my wishes arc all centered. Gentlemen, I came here upon the hospitable invitation of the city of Boston ; but prompted also by the desire to show—by this act of mine, rather than by mere words, because I know that this mode of expression is more emphatic, and more intelligible withal —to show by this act, my conviction that it becomes us Americans an i Britons—l put the Americans first—(hear, hear)—Americans and Britons, descended as we are from the same stock, inheritors of the same traditions, anal, un less I greatly misconceive the signs of the times, with duties and responsibilities, as respects one another, nut widely dis similar, to be ready, at all times and at all places, and (spe cially at this time and upon this soil of North America, to cultivate towards each other feelings of brotherly love anal mutual friendship. These arc my sentiments; and I there fore accept your proffered kindness. (Cheers.) At 5 o'clock the President held a levee at the Re vere House, when several hundred of our citizens and strangers were presented to him. SubsequBntly he visited the ladies' parlor, where numbers of the fair sex paid their respects. The Mayor and council of Montreal and Lord El gin, of Canada, were also present. In the evening, immediately. after Lord Elgin had dined, he called upon the President, in his own room, and was introduced by Mr. Crampton, the British Charg6 d'Affaires. All formalities were dispensed with. The meeting was meet cordial and unaffected. Lord Elgin simply expressed his pleasure at meet ing the President of this great Republic. The Presi dent in reply said he was most happy to welcome his lordship on American soil, and hoped he would find his visit both interesting and agreeable. The President then introduced him to Secretaries Stuart and Conrad, and the parties, after a brief but free and sociable conversation, separated. Lord Mark Kerr and Hon. Mr. Waldegrave were presented to the President at this interview. The closing scenes of the great railroad jubilee are thus described in a letter published in the New York herald: BOSTON, SIFT. 19. The last of the Three Days " is drawing to a close, and in a few brief hours the Grand Railway Jubilee " will be matter of history. Never did a finer morning dawn than that which ushered in the 19th of September, 1851, in Boston. The sun shone brilliantly, the air was tranquil, and the temperature all that could be desired. In fact, as I heard a gentleman from Connecticut say, if the weather had been made to order it could not be better for the purpose of procession. At an early hour in the day it was rumoured that Mr. Fillmore was indisposed, and would not be able to take part in the procession. The report was not credited, and cons. quently a great many people went to the Revere House to ascertain for themselves. The result was that the report was true. Mr. Fillmore's absence created great disappoint ment ; bat then was no help for it. As early as six o'clock a great stir was perceptible throughout the city, especially 111 State and other streets through which the procession would pass. Companies of soldiers were drawn up here and there, strains of music were heard in different quarters, and people were moving towards the Common in great numbers. Soon the scene became more lively, and by seven various trade associations, with their emblems, mottoes, &c., were seen proceeding to their various places of rendesvous. By eight o'clock thou ands of people were on the Common, great stir was visible inall the streets, and by nine one would have supposed that the whole of New England and part of New York were emptied into the city of Boston. Later in the day, it would scent as if the people had reserved all their strefigh and re gard for to-day, and determined that the last of the Jubilee should be the best and most imposing. Business was 1.115- pended—the banks, the custom-house, the post-office, and almost all the stores and shops were closed. The Common, on account of the tent and the preparations that were being made for the great dinner, was one of the principal scene' of attraction, and was frequented by thousand. during the day. Five or six tents were erected hero and thererin that promenade, under which was iced water in the greatest abundance, which several men were giving to the thirsty multitude, free gratis for nothing, nor would they receive anything in return if offered to them. This excellent at , rangement was made by the Common Council, at the ex pense of the city. There wore banners hung on each tent, on which were printed temperance sentiments of the real cold water order. The following two will serve as a sample : The love at self shou'd teach US to refuse The ruby wine, mad clear cold water choose. This is the drink which nature to Q 4 brings. Then quaff those streams, which Gad alone provider, And sends in torrents from the mountain sides, To slake our Gann, our parched llpa to cool, Refrain our spirits, and rejoice the said. Again : Odd water will keep Your head cool, Your heart warm, Your name good, Your life lung. I mentioned in yesterday's letter that the public build ings and many of the private dwellings were tistefully de corated. But the appearance of the city at large yester day, in that respect, was nothing to what it is to-day. I _ apkerAd,expensive, and tasteful deco.- never saw such spleno..., tions in my life, and I doubt very much if they were ever equalled on any occasion in the United States. Were to give a description of them, I would fill the Herald. and leave no room for anything else. I will give your readers, however, an illustration. I will take Dover street, which was the most beautifully decorated in the city. Just imagine a street about an eighth of a mile, com posed entirely of private houses, each decorated " from tin , ret to foundation stone" with flags, banners, garlands. wreaths, and flowers, all connecting with each other throughout the whole length of the street, showing that the inhabitants generally acted in concert, so as to preserve an uniform appearance throughout the street. Not satisfied with providing these decorations, there were banners on each house bearing the name of it President of the United States in gold letters, thus:—" Washington,' " Adams ;" " Jefferson," " Madison," " Monroe," " J. Q. Adams," and on other houses were the names, in the some style, of the governors of the state of Massachussetts. At the residence of Thomas Blanchard was a medallion likeness of President Fillmore. which was cut by the wen pant of the house. Suspended across the street at this point was a banner bearing the following inscription The great peace-maker—steam-nower oue of the powers that be." Ou the reverse :—" Thomas Blanchard built the first steam-carriage in 182.5.--Petition for railroad, PUG." Over this was a picture of an Indian, and at each side was the American flag. Another banner contained the following :—" Our guests from British soil—we bid them welcome to Yankee land." On the left was " Lafayette," and on the right, " Van Buren," " Harrison," " Tyler." Another banner was inscribed:—" Liverpool, Halifax, Boston." In another part were the British and American flags, with a homier containing the arms of England and the United States. Again, there was a picture representing Lord Elgin's intro duction to Mr. Fillmore, in which the likenesses were very well carried out, with the inscription : Sop. let us haste these bonds to knit, And in the work be handy: Th it we may bloal "Gal Sloe the Queen" With "Yankee Doodle Dandy." As might have been expected, this poetry created a good deal of laughter and amusement. Another banner con tained the name of the Mnyor of Boston. Across the street at this point was a Has with this inscription:—" \Velcomo our tcuests from the British provinces, and our sister states." Again Montreal, Boston, and llalitlas," with threo links of a chain. To the left of this was a banner, bearing the inscription •—" Commerce." Another Hag represented a meeting at Washington and Lafayette iu heaven. Ano ther inscription was :—" Bless the power th it united and has preserved us a nation." Another, a picture of Boston an it was when it was discovered. A full length painting of Daniel WebtriT. Several old English banners were suspended from one of the houses. As it generally happens in such cases, this procession did not commence moving at the time appointed, notwithstand- Mg that every precaution was taken to guard against delay. But the public were not disposed to grumble or final fault. They set the day apart fur pleasure, and were prood of tho handsome appearance of their city. At length it started, presenting the appearance of a gigantic tortuous sea ser pent, of various hues and colours, with huge bumps on Its back. . . . . _ After the military portion of the procession had passed the trade societies followed. I send you some of the mottoes, &c.:—The hatters :—" We crown the heads ofthe sovereign people." The carpenters had at their front turn ing machines, &c. Next coins tho express waggons, filled with boxes and bales The riggers had at their head .1 flag representing a ship, with the inscription : " 'This was borne in the presence of Washington in 1, 59." Then followed a miniature ship, capable of holding a dozen persons, !Kaua i fully constructed, and rigged in full. The boiler-maker had a first-class locomotive, on wheels , at their head. It looked a: much out of its c lement as possible, but its appro priateness was generally remarked. The Museum hail in the processi..n the lizure of an ele phant, with two men dressed in Oriental costume seated on it. Cars, with school children at their desks—Motto, " Freo Schools the hope of a free people." Printing press in a waggon. A tire engine and hose cart on a waggon. 41, printing office on wheels, in full operation, three' printers throwing on' sheets. Blocks of granite. Block of steno to be presented by the state of Massachussetts to the Washing. tua Monument, decorated with flags and atreatners. The silversmiths and jeweller , were nest in order pre ceded by a magnificent display of silverware, NVOI th 15,000 dols., borne by some negroes stressed in Eastern costume. Twenty-five special policemen were deputed to guard this display. 'flee silver was followed by a silversinith'a shop on wheels, in which workmen were engaged in manufactur ing the precious metal into articles of Use and ornament. The rear was brought up by a leviathan gold pen, with the motto, " The pen is mightier than the sword." The butchers of Faucuil Hall Market paraded an im mense waggou filled with fish, flesh, and fowl, wholesale and retail, in great quantities. The intelligence Lattice had a waggon containing twenty four girls. Outside were placards—. Wet nunses,". "Ser vants," tt Girls wanted." The bookbinders made a very handsome display. Among them was Colonel Luring, well known in all New Eugla ad as one of the oldest and must respectable citizens. The agricultural instrument makers turned out in good force, and mule a very respectable appearance. They had ploughs, and harrows, and reaping machines, and every other implement connected with husbandry. The pianoforte makers had far their motto, " There is sure no passion of the human soul but finds its loud in music." Then cam a large omnibus, with the motto, " The way to the railroad—room for one more." The carinen's motto was, " By commerce we live." When the procession had reached the corner of Emerald and Dover-streets, there was a stop for a few minutes before a rostrum that had been erected fur the purpose. On this rostrum were thirty-one young girls, all dressed in white, with tri-coloured sashes, each representing a Stato of the American confederacy, and two representing the God dew of Liberty Laud Queen Victoria. As soon as the pro cession halted, the young lady representing Nlassachussetts, Miss Eug:nia A. Paxton, approached Lord Elgin, the Go vernor of Canada, and addressed him as follows :—" Mas sachussetta welcomes, with cordial salutations, to the hospi talities of her metropolis, the distinguished Chief Magistrate of her British Majenty's Provinces la America." Miss Julia K. Cary, representing Queen Victoria, dressed in green, trimmed with ermine, and wearing a crown, pre sented a bouquet to the Secretary of the Navy for the Presi dent. She made a brief address on the occasion, and both Mr. Stuart and Lord Elgin made brief responses. The procession was in the highest degree attractive, and the general appearance of the troops, cavalry. and infantry, was much admired. There wee considerable difference of opinion among the spectators as to what was the most attractive features of the procession. The ladies insisted that the coaches containing Mr. Stuart, Secretary of the Navy (who, they unanimously agreed, was a very fine looking man), and Lord Elgin, were entitled to the palm; while the gentlemen, on the other hand, were disposed to think that the various carriages and vehicles containing ladies, dressed in snowy white, wearing garlands on their heads, and possessing a peculiar beauty and grace, not to Do found out of New England, were decidedly the must attrac tive of the whole. After the procession dinner was served up under an im mense tent on the common. About four thousand persona were present, including President Ifilimore. On the re moval of the cloth, Mayor Bigelow arose, and said—" On account of the de parture of the train it ecoines necessary for the President of the United States to leave us early ; and I suppose that you as well as myself would be URA illing that that mis fortune should befall this assemblage until wo have at least proffered him our respects, in the usual manner. (Ap. please.) I therefore interrupt you, thas early in the feast, to give you,as a sentiment, ' The health of the President of the United States.'" . . The above sentiment was received by three times three hearty cheers, sifter which it was r,polided to by Mr. Fillmore, who said :—" Mr. Mayor and fellow-citizens—la acknowledging the compliment which yeti have paid to the high office which it is my fortune to hold, I rise rather for the purpose of excusing myself than of making a speech. You have been pleased to drink my health. I would it were as perfect on the occasion as it usually is ; but, unfor ' tunately, a slight indisposition within the last twenty-four hours has deprived me of the great pleasure which I should have enjoyed this day in participating in your exer cises. I sin unable to partake of the costly vianas under which your miles of tables groan ; I am scarcely able to enjoy the feast of reason and the Bow of soul,' and s more than all this, I am compelled by imperious circum stances to leave you thus early in this banquet, because I feel that my public duties require that I should be at Washington with the utmost possible despatch. I have stolen from the hours that were perhaps duo to the na tion, a brief space to meet my fellow-citizens in the city of B4ston. (Applause.) I meet you as citizens of Boston. Oa this festive occasion we know no party distinction. (Applause.) Nay, more: we scarcely know a national dis tinction. (Great applause and cheers.) There are gathered around this festive board the American and the Briton s living under different laws, but, thank God, two of the freest nations under the sun. (Cheering.) The little asperity that was engendered by the revolution which sepa rated us from our mother country, I am happy to say, free lung since disappeared, and we meet like brethren of the same family, speaking the same language, and enjoying the same religion. Are we not one? (Applause.) Fellow citizens, I trust that the unexpected necessity that compels we arc able tojudge - , to deny wopriTty — of the ;vitiOu r rthe "" rep7ar ortil " ro t rz i n u ir ue vernm , an erit a m at tnel t r i co t s u p ntry pea epithet " tramarian, which we applied to him in Although threats have been held out to impeach prospect of success.
