OCIETY for the RELIEF of DISTIMSF ~—This K- 1 Society derives its origin from the following cause : That, notwithstanding the operation of the poi law and the numerous existing charitable associat iol is, human beings, although within a stone's throw of! the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy m chropolis, die miserably of hunger and the want of the co unnon neces saries of life. To prevent as far as possible the recurrenr ,e of an evil so sgra c e ful to our social system, it is prop, seed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by aiding and increasing the power • ,)f existing local institutions which have this object in view ; To bring to the notice of parochial autl lorities such cases as legitimately telong to them alone, io aid the police and the Mendicity Society, to detect impos'aire, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitent iaries, and existing charitable associations those cases for •,vhich their several institutions were es:mblished. Special and urfgent cases of distress indicated by the clergy—ministers of all denomination s, medical profession, or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as possible by the, judicious application of funds entrusted to district committees and local responsible persons appointed by them for the purpose. No cas es will be relieved by mertey or otherwise at the Central office. Tlite promoters of this movement now come forward, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on Contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and as s i s t Whom in the arduous task in whic it they, with such pr a i se _ • wm•thy zeal and perseverance, nave been :_to many years hihoriou s ly engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable associations have in view. The following noblemen and gentlemen haV.ng combined to form u Guarantee Committee, by whom 'the entire ex penses of management are to be defrayed, tb o Society now call upon the public to entrust it with the r equisite funds, which shall be applied, without the urnallef ,t deduction, to live relief of genuine distress.

There is gold all over the island, but in sm all I have found a little near here. There is plenty of chance for enterprising men with a small capital, and oho for good mechanics. Anyone who is willing to work is .store to get on well. Labourers are paid Ss. and 9s. per day, - . me chanics from 12s. to 20s. I should not fear of doing well out here if I could but settle, There is a good and regular traffic with the Sandwich Islands, San Francisco, Port Townsend, on the American. side; Fraser's River, New Westminster, and many ships straight from England and China. There are several wealthy Chinese merchants, and a great number of poorer Chinese. They have a part of the town to themselves. They are capital washermen, and they are very useful, as t licie are wry few women here to wash for us. We pay them 6s. and (SS, per dsy for washing. I must now close my rambling account of the Island of Vancouver's, and say a fesr words about the poor native Indians who were once masSers of this part of the globe. It is not known how many Indians there are exactly,but I think it is computed at 18,G00 or 20,000. I have seen much of them since we have been here. There are seve ral villages belonging to different tribes round here, and a great number were down here I:son the north a month or two ago. Some of them come to trade skins, furs, fish, and mats, for goods out of the stores. They are principally paid in blankets. Alf Indian's chief wealth is in his number of blankets. I am Merry to say that the majority of them are filthy, lazy, and disgusting in the extreme ; great drunkards and thieves, very' crafty and deceitful. They appear to learn nothing of the' white man but his worst vices. The northern tribes bring darn crowds of women to sell to white men, or to force them into pro stitution. Scenes are daily enacted openly round. Tictoria. that I should not have thought could possibly take place in a land where civilisation has begun its work. I think the worst characters in our seaport towns would blush at the treatment the poor Indians receive at the hands of the low Yankee ruffians that infest this: place. We saw the Indians come in ; they had to leave their arms with us while they stayed. They all looked fine healthy people, but when they went away it was a most distressing sight to see the poor creatures crouching in their canoes, with features shrunken and emaciated through disease and the effects of the dreadful poison white men Sell to them and earl it whiskey. What can the missionary be expected to do when such fiends are working against them ? There is a strict law against selling them whiskey, but they cannot stop the traffic. Some of the tribes are becoming rather better. There are several good men at work among them. Tho school here, I hope, will do much. I was there one Sunday. What a curious assemblage—tottering old men,, young men and women, children and infante—in all about, 130, repeating and singing, " There is a Happy Land," in English. the rest of the instruction was carried on in Chinese, thetrading language of the Hudson Bay Company. I know a little of it, but not much. There were Many in telligent faces in the motley group; many had rings through their ears and noses, and on their ankles and wrists. Some of the women had seven or eight armlets on each arm, end scores of silver rings on their fingers, pieces of bone and silver stuck in their under lips, and nearly all painted, and' many half naked. The Rev. Mr. Garrett is the superintendent; he is assisted by some other gentlemen and some ladies. A Mr. Duncan is doing much good ; he is away now with some tribe. He is a friend of Mr. Brown, of the G.N.R. School at Don caster; they were at the Highbury Training Institution together. Mr. Duncan has a great number of converts to the temperance cause, amongst them nearly all one tribe. The Roman Catholics are doing a good deal with them, too, especially in the temperance movement. They appear to be quite proud of their pledge. The bishop has; addressed them in Chinvok, he was not long in learning that curious jargon. Some of the Indians are very clever. One man in Victoria is a capital silversmith. I have seen some risags he made; they are really first-rate. I very often walk round to the Indian village; they like to talk to any one in anis form. They have a wholesome dread of King George men, as they call all English, Irish, and Scotch. They cannot bear Boston men (Americans). They have many curious ceremonies, especially when any one is sick. They are great gamblers. I have seen them sit on their heels in it circle a. whole day gambling for blankets. Theyare capital marksmen. with a rifle or bow and arrow. Most of the Indians round here are Flatheads. I have seen the poor little infants lashed down to the board that causes the deformity; it is considered a mark of distinction. No white man's child is allowed to have its head flattened. The poor little things tumble about the canoe naked in the roughest weather, tuid seem quite happy. But I am afraid I am tiring you, sir, with my remarks', but I think you will like to know a little of the poor creatures we hear so much about, and to whom we are responsible for much. We are ordered away to Barclay Sound, round on the west coast of the island. There is a new colony just spring ing up. An Enelish firm is going to erect saw mills, &c. We err. going to awe the Indians a little, I believe. The bishop is going with us 10 visit this new flock. I shall postpone finishing this until next mail, so that I can add a little more information respecting this little England. We have not much convenience to offer the bishop, but he may not have an opportunity again for some time. We are now I yingEF ,i q u ll ie i t tl l l;l a t t hl a a n rbo cho ll i r . , a N ft o e v r . 1860. trip,, of which I will say a little. The Bishop and Capt. Stamp, the manager for the firm, and our pilot, came en board on Thursday evening, October 17, and we steamed out of the harbour at daybreak next morning. We met with fine! weather and smooth seas, so none were at all affected. We , anchored for the night in a small bay open to the Pacific. , The bishop held a short service on board. Next morning we entered the Barclay Sou nd f and about noon the Albur- nio Canal. This is a fine natural canal, about 30 miles long, and will average three-quarters of a mile in width, with plenty of water for large ships. The country on either side is mountainous, and well wooded, stocked well with deer and game. Everyone admired the scenery, the bishop in particular. We arrived at the end of the canal, where the Somass River empties itself, at five p.m. The settlers, about forty in all, have been out two months. There is a large store, and several houses and sheds built. I think there will be a nice village. They have got ac fine engine and saw mill, and they hope to have it working by Christmas. They are doing a little trade with the Indians in oil, fish, and skins. The bishop and party went to visit the Indian village, and the second Sunday he addressed them in the large store, having picked up a few words of their language from the Indian agent during the week ; they do not know made Chinvok. The bishop is a very energetic man; he has had many services both on board and in the large store on shore. He does not care for trifles. One night he held a tallow candle in his hand to read by, refusing the services of a man sent to hold the light. He spoke much on the respon sibility of the settlers, on their own account and their treatment of the natives, on the importance of prayer, and ister should be, sent to them as soon as possible.

I was out shooting nearly every day. Our party shot a good number of geese, ducks, and grouse. We all enjoyed ourselves exceedingly, and were well satis fied with our trip. We left on the Monday morning, and called in at an Indian village. The commander and bishop paid them a visit. We then steamed out into the Pacific, but we were obliged to put back again, it was so rough. We started again next morning ; it was still rough, and many were sea-sick, but we reached an anchorage in the Straits, Port San Juan, when we remained all night. Got under way at daybreak, and called into a settlement at Sooke. There is a fine harbour, and a large sawmill bee longing to a Scotchman, who has also a large farm. We should have stayed there for the night for the Bishop to hold a service, but I believe it was declined, all the ed.. tiers being; Scotchmen.

I hope to finish, and then the men will have somewhere to go beside the whiskey shop when they go ashore. I have commenced a school, and the commander haft given the Government allowance to buy books. Very few of the men were provided with Bibles, and we cannot get good ones under 6s. or Ss., and they are American editions, not such good plain print as the cheap English books. it is a great pity that we cannot get, Bibles for the men when they really appear desirous of reading them, and are anx ious for instruction. The commander wants to commence& Bible class for the men, and when we can get a supply of books I think it will be sure to succeed. I must now conclude, and hoping that this will find you in good health, I remain, reverend sir, your humble and obliged servant. piticE 4D . STAMPED, SD. a complete separation of slave States from free, fol lowed by a collision. People cling convulsively to the hope that the , n i . reparation will be parti al and peaceful, and that the severed fragments will bere constructed into a new and more permanent union. I see little in the tone of sentiment here to induce me to think that, if the border slave States elect to join their fortunes to the South, the disintegration of the Republic will be either peaceable or without a violent and deadly collision. If on the other hand, the border States remain in the Union they will, I think, control the ardour of the North, and pre vent an immediate collision. I give you these spe culations for what they are worth,premising that you arejust as well able to form a sound opinion on these questions in London as we are here.

The annexed letter) which arrived by the last mail, is from a yo , :ag naval engineer to a clergyman who has take. much interest in his welfare. It contains recent information of a highly interesting and useful chiracter as to the state of this new colony. Victoria, Vancouver's Island, British Columbia, Oct. 10, 1860. Rev, and dear Sir,—Aithough I have had comparatively no duty to monopolise my time, yet events seem to have crowded so on each other that I have never felt at liberty to sit down to answer your kind letter received before leav ing England. lam afraid that now I shall fulfil your re quest very imperfectly, but I hope sir, you will excuse and correct any mistakes I may make, for you will remember that writing and composition were always my weakest points, especially at examinations. Any remarks on our long voyage would, I think, be un necessary, for I believe that my father has had the honour of telling you a little of our doings since leaving Old Eng land. I will therefore proceed to give what little informa tion I possess respecting " this new land of ours." Most people that I have spoken with here agree with me in pronouncing this to be a delightful country. The climate is much superior to England, and then there is something so enchanting and agreeable in the picturesque wildness of these grand old forests, and something so soul-stirring in the:air of freedom that surrounds the rambler in these endless solitudes, which until very lately were sacred to the red man and the wild deer—that even the usual discom forts attending bush life, and the heavy drain on iho Pocket for simple necessaries, are quite overlook* or thought compensated ' for by the enjoyments arising from all that is strange and beautiful. This is perhaps, colouring the account a little, but I cannot speak too highly so far as my own experience goes. I have always been partial to woodland scenery, and here I can,enjoy myself to my heart's content, for I can go ashore nearly every day either alone or in company. The country is open to all ; no fear •of trespassing. I have a gun, and there is plenty of game, and no game laws : in the winter the ducks and geese aro by thousands. I have a nice Indian canoe, and I paddle about the harbour or anywhere I choose. But I have had what I ought to be most thankful for, good health. Since I left England I have never been ill a day, except from sea sickness. I think this climate will suit me very well. Rheumatics are rather prevalent in the winter, and I think that is almost the only sickness here. -looking In most parts of the island the settlers can easily supply themselves with sufficient deer and grouse to live upon. I have shots at deer, but I have never got one; they get into the bush, and we have no dog. The Indians supply us chiefly. We buy deer, ducks, geese, grouse, salmon, and potatoes very cheap in the season ; we give about 2d par lb. for salmon, and other things in proportion. We generally barter for biscuit or old clothes. I have been some distance into the interior, and round to all the farms. The accounts are pretty good. The soil is very rich, and an extra crop may be gathered to what is usual in England. But the island would not be worth much if entirely dependent upon its agriculture, for the soil though rich is shallow, and the fields aro few and far between. Rocks are everywhere to be met with. The island appears to be one huge rock, with a thin covering of soil, and that broken up into patches. Neither do sheep farms or cattle rearing pay very well, for there is no grass grown for winter use, and it is very cold, so the poor things die of cold and hunger. As we have not bad any winter since 1858 and 1859, I expect we shall feel the cold very much. We had a little cold weather in the Straits of Magellan, but not much, for it was their summer, though the snow covered the hills. We were a long time in the tropics. I do not know much respecting the gold fields. We hear little of them just now. There was a little excite ment last month, and a small rush of speculators up the river to Rock Creek, where a vein of silver quartz had been found. There has been an average supply of gold from Frazer River but nothing very extraordinary. The grand excitement was over before we arrived. At one time there were 20,000 miners and others living in tents where Victoria now stands. Flour was as high as Bd. per lb., hay 4d. per lb., and other things in proportion. Many men made immense fortunes. One hotel here cost 6d. per brick, and they small ones. I was quite surprised to find Victoria so large as it is. There are some very nice buildings already, mostly of wood, but now many stores are being built of stone and bricks, some having very nice iron fronts. The Government houses are built of brick, and look very well. Victoria boasts of two Churches, one large Wesleyan Chapel, a Roman Ca tholic Church, and a Congregationalist Chapel, a Collegiate ahefine, matterlvell School and Indian School, Government houses, police offices, jail, and a theatre, several fine streets, many fine shops and stores, two fire companies (both volunteers); one is called the Hook and Ladder Company. They aro on the American principle, and are supported by voluntary contri butions. Within the last week or twe a corporation has been formed as is England, Mayor, Council, &c. ; there is an efficient body of police, both English and Indian; there are Courts of Justice much the same as in England. We have had one case of capital punishment, and that was since we arrived. An Indian was hanged for killing a coloured man; the Yankee part of the community wanted him to be reprieved, insisting that it was to murder to kill negroes, but Old England triumphed, and gave another assurance to the poor persecuted negro that her sons, though so far away, still recognised him as a man and a brother. There has been a great dispute here about the coloured people attending places of worship. One minister—l was about to say a Christian minister—refused to allow them to mix with his congregation, and if they attended his ohurch (Congregational) they were obliged to huddle up in one remote corner; but Mr. Cridge, the minister of Christ's Church, took up their cause and opened his church doors to as many as liked to come, and I am pleased to see a good proportion of coloured people in every meeting I 11 ± .. 1 . a v a . attended. There are a great number of them in I r,ic e r o ri ng : many very respectable, some of the p;ettiest housesbuttheir at tendinging to them.

He paid us a visit. I was introduced to him. I must not forget to mention the two sources of the island's future wealth—the coal fields and the extensive forests of excellent timber. A great quantity of coal is supplied from Nanimo, a place to the northward from here, distant 90 miles. There is a considerable export down the coast as far as San Francisco. The Yankees tried all they could to run them down, but it was no use. The coal is of average steaming quality.

Each would view the growth of the other with distrust, out of which wars would inevitably grow. The fruitful source of European wars, the question of the balance of power, would be introduced on this continent, and these contro versies would terminate in military despotisms. Foreign intervention would be sought for or prof fered uninvited. Indeed, it was already meditated, although the disunion movement was not yet GO days old. Slavery, too, must be destroyed. Can a civil war rage and the slaves remain idle P The love of liberty is natural to all men. Will it be possible to prevent an uprising of the gross and brutal Afri cans ? Europe has set its face against the practice of slavery. The European anti-slavery sentiment is abolitionism—pure, simple, uncompensating. The American anti-slavery sentiment, restrained by the constitution and the Union, manifests itself in an opposition to the African slave trade, and hostility to the extension of slavery over territory now free. Remove the restraints of the Union, and incite civil war, and you hate no guarantee that the Northern anti-slavery sentiment will not be as nneompromis ing as the European. Let dissolution cone, and industry will be checked, labour go without its reward, the Prattler given up to the savage, the national prosperity turned into iiiiii, and liberty, freedom of speech, thought, and action be lost in the face of petty confederacies seeking protection under military despotisms. Even the Times, not Crally too friendly to America, Says it is pro bable that Democratic Government will fall from the selfishness and folly of those who cannot appreciate its excellence. " Why, then," Mr. Seward proceeds, "are .we threatened with a disruption that is to produce such re sults ? a President unacceptable to a portion of the people had been elected. Was the election illegal ? No. Was the candidate per sonally exceptionable ? No. Does anybody wish to dispense with the form of anelection P No. Yet the Gulf States were seceding with no other cause." A withdrawal of the Gulf States Mr. Seward be- lieved impossible. If revolution were invoked to effect it, he was for preserving the Union. He would do this peaceably, if possible, by conciliation, and in the exercise of charity. Although a Repub lican, his republicanism should be subordinate to the Union. He was willing to support the follow ing measures :-1. As to the Fugitive Slave Laws he conceded that while, by the .Constitution, ,;; is left to each State to determine whether th:xe can be property in man within its borders, obligation to restore a fugitive slay) and he would advocate,,the repeal of State laws txere was an interfering with Fugitive Slave Law. At the same time, he thought that the objectionable provisions of that law should be repealed. 2. He we willing to vote for an amendment of the Constitution, declaring that Con gress shall never have the power to alter or abolish slavery within the States. 3. He was willing to vote for what is called an " Enabling Act," to ena ble the existing territory to be immediately organ ised into two States, with a power to each, if it can be done constitutionally, to be hereafter subdivided. 4. He would rote for an Act to prevent invasions of,,the slave States from the free States. 5. He wipld vote for a Pacific Railway as a peace mea sure ; and ,lastly, when the eccentric disunion movements are over he would support a Convention to see what amendments might be desired in the constitution. Thus imperfectly I have sketched the outlines of this speech—perhaps the most important one ever delivered in the Senate of the United States—one of' the most important ones ever delivered in any deliberative body. On it hangs the future of the Republic. It is understood to be Mr. Seward's own child—not the result of conference with his party or his friends. When he rose, not one of the Republican members of the Senate knew what he would say. As he spoke friends and foes in the Senate alike gathered about him, drawing their chairs as near as possible to the desk at which he stood, forming a semi-circle of upturned faces. As soon as he sat down there was a slight applause in the galleries, which was immediately hushed, and the Senate at once adjourned. I joined the groups of senators on the floor, gathered into knots dis cussing the speech. The extreme Southerners were loud in their denunciations. One said, "It is a declaration of war ;" another, "It amounts to nothing—it is all talk ;" another, "We shall never approve of that." The moderate men from the Border slave States with Whig antecedents were pleased with it. One said, "It is beyond what I expected from Mr. Seward, though not so much as I could have wished ;" another, " It gives us some thing to stand upon at home." The ultra-Repub lican's disavowed the sentiments of Mr. Seward. " The 12th of January will be written as the day of the death of the Republican party," said one violent member : but the moderate Republicans, who really guide the party, approve it. " I see nothing there that we cannot stand upon," said one of the leading Republican Senators to me. These views, expressed at the moment, may be taken as fair exponents of public sentiment since developed. The concessions made by Mr. Seward on behalf of the Republicans cover the whole grounds of com plaint. They divide the existing.territory between North and South, give new guarantees to the slave States for the protection of their property within the States, protect them against Personal Liberty Bills, guard them against the renewal of John Brown's invasions, and promise to bind the two shores of the country together by links of iron. But they do not touch 'certain other points, which are deemed essential by the Cotton States, and may be deemed so by the Border States. They do not make any provision about slavery in the district of Co• lumbia. This may, perhaps, be added, if its absence alone stand in the way of settlement. They do not make any provision for slaves in transitu in free States ; because that will not, in all probability, be conceded. They do not make any provision for future acquired territory, which Mr. Breckenridge says is a sine qua non. The slaveholders say they must have room to expand. This want will be met to-morrow by amove from the South, that territory may be acquired hereafter either by a concurrent vote of two-thirds of each House, or by treaty which requires a two-third's vote in the Senate ; and I think that such a settlement would be ac quiesced in by the Republicans, if the Border States will be satisfied with the rest of their programme ? Will they be satisfied ? I frankly say, I cannot tell, nor can any man, in these days of rapid revolution, foresee the result of such offers. The planting States are irretrievably gone, seduced by the hope of direct trade with Europe, and com mercial greatness at home. They have declared themselves out of the Union, and, for the present at least, it is regarded as the part of wisdom to let them alone, if they will consent to let the Federal Government alone, and stop firing into vessels bearing its flag. The border States have not the same commercial temptations, but, on the other hand, they have an identity of interest in the pos session of slaves,',and a:common hatred of " the Abo litionists," as every anti-slavery man is called. The pressure now making upon these States to carry them out of the Union before the 4th March is in conceivable. It is the opinion here that Delaware and Maryland will not go—that Kentucky, Ten nessee, and Virginia will go, unless the speech of yesterday and the action of the coming week shall be potent to prevent it, and that Missouri is doubt ful. The Legislature of Virginia hav e already called a Convention for the purpose ; but have also pro vided, in spite of violent opposition from the seces sionists, that the vote of the people shall be taken upon the question. My own impressions upon Mr. Seward's proposi tions are—and I give them only as impressions ga. thered from contact wi th a great variety of men he re —that they will not be satisfactory to the Border States, and that there is great mann to apprehend A BOON TO NERVOUS SUFFERERS.

Loudon; Published by J. Allen, 2 suUlli .0, `Marwick Lane ; Mann, N Oo THE UNITED .ST4TES4 (From the Correspondent of the Times.) WASHINGTON, JAN. 14. You will see by the heading of this letter that I date from the capital. As the crisis was drawing to a head, I found it necessary to be here. Events move so rapidly, and public opinion is moulded so insensibly one way or the other, that it is almost impossible to:gather a just sense of what is going on without being at the centre of action. Seeing that all other schemes of compromise had fallen through, abd that the last hope of an amicable set tlement rested on the manifesto of Mr. Se ward, the Premier of the incoming Administration, to be made in the Senate, I came here on `rids; last to hear it. To understand fully the importance of it you must picture to yourself the circumstances under which it was made. South Carolina, already seceded, had added to her offences of secession, seizure of the public forts, custom-houses, trea sury, moneys, and revenue cutter, and the outrage of firing upon the Star of the West, sent to the relief of Major Anderson, and forcing that vessel to return to New York. Major Anderson had it with insbhu et h d, i like ibk p l no o o w ad e . r p r ti silence the dp lbo rr ia g dv u an n , sat titan, n a t hearrest Mississippi,rnrte n d r her, na their several conventions had the day before each resolved to retire from the Union. The authorities of Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana had within the week taken armed possession of the forts and arsenals of the United States within their borders, and detachments had been sent to take possession of the important naval station of Pensacola. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, had two days before made an elaborate speech in the Senate, speaking on behalf of the Gulf States, imploring peace in eloquent language, but offering the alternative of war should resistance be made to secession. Mr. pe Hunter, of gearetf Virginia, had the day before, in a speech power, and which undoubtedly represented the present sentiment of a majority of his State, de clared that it was no longer a question of maintain ing this Union. That he regarded as irreparably gone. It was a question how another could be re constructed on its ruins, and he had offered as his best terms the acceptance by the North of the Breckenridge platform in its most odious form, and a double Executive, one from the North and one, from the South. At the North the Legislature of the State of New York, by an almost unanimous vote (there being only two dissenting votes in the House and one in the Senate), had resolved, on the motion of the Speaker, to tender to the President of the United States " whatever aid in men and money may be required to enable him to enforce the laws and uphold the authority of the Federal Government ; and that, in the defence of the Union, which has conferred prosperity and happi ness upon the A merican people, renewing the pledge given and redeemed by our fathers, we are ready to devote our fortunes, our lives, and our sacred honour." The people of this district, composed of porlions from different parts. of the Union, but all depending upon the Federal Government for their existence, were in a state of appre hension bordering upon terror, fearing lest a band of armed rioters should possess themselves of the public buildings in order to give to the new Southern Confederacy the prestige of successors of the old Government. So deep-seated was this fear that many ladies kept their trunks and boxes packed, so as to be ready for a start northward at a moment's notice. Aud throughout the country there was the feeling that all plans for adjustment had failed, and that, unless the programme of the incoming Administration was broad enough to arrest the tide of revolution and prevent it from sweeping over the border States, there was no hope of avoiding civil war. The rush to the Capitol began more than two hours before the opening of the Senate. The ac commodations for strangers in the galleries are much greater than in the House of Lords or the House of Commons, and are open to all without permits. The only distinction made is that one gallery is devoted exclusively to ladies. I reached the Capitol an hour and three-quarters before the opening of the Senate, and three hours before Mr. Seward was expected to begin, and then the ladies' galleries were filled, and the gentlemen's galleries were rapidly filling with persons of both sexes The crinoline pushed itself every where as pertina ciously and as successfully as men could do. In five minutes every seat in the galleries was occu pied, every place where a man, or a boy even, could stand was filled, and before the Vice-President took the chair thousands must have gone away disap pointed. During the hours of waiting the crowd were very good-natured. Occasionally, some one more turbulent than the rest would elbow his neighbours, only to be laughed at by all. One poor boy finding himself badly squeezed begged to be let out, and was passed over the heads of the men about him into the lobby. I happened to sit among a number of young men belonging to the Volunteer Militia of this district. They were speculating among themselves how many men would refuse to turn out when Gen. Scott should order out the militia to protect the public property against the Secessionists. One man thought that in his com pany there would be six men who would refuse to do duty. The others seemed to think that their companid and regiments could be depended upon to a man. South Carolina they denounced in un measured terms, and seemed to think that they "couldn't stand beef at 35 cents a pound a great while." These little straws are, I believe, correct indices of the course of the wind here. Mr. Seward spoke for about two hours. You will, doubtless, have a copy of his speech in the New York papers of today or to-morrow. I have no copy, and can onlygive you from memory the impres sions which it made upon me. He began by declar ing himself a Union man, in favour of preserving the Union in all its parts, in peace or in war. That it was threatened could not be denied. But it can not be saved by eulogiums, nor by mutual recri minations or attempts to throw blame on others, nor by debates in Congress upon the territories or upon the abstract right to secede, on which ques tions men's minds were made up. Neither could it be preserved by force, in a country where the consent of the governed was by theory essential to the maintenance of government. He would not assent to any plan that proposed a destruction of the present Union for the purpose of reconstructing another. Neither was the Union to be saved by any one in particular, nor by Congressional compromises. Nor can it be dissolved except by the consent of the people of all the States. After demonstrating that the ljnion had been an historical necessity for the period of nearly a hundred years, and that the same philosophic causes still existed for maintaining it: Mr. Seward next proceeded to treat with great force the inevitable results of disunion. The power of the United States makes it respected abroad and pre serves it from foreign aggression. In a disunited coun try this central power of safety would bow -- 177ntn — Tg.
