I In remarkable contrast to the unanimity which pervaded the House of Lords last evening during the debate on the Abyssinian expedition was the temper shown in the discussion of the Boundaries Bill. Contradiction and recrimination went on for some time, the Opposition declaring that the Mini sterial side of the House wished to break faith, the Ministerial party retorting that the Opposition wanted to render the House of Lords a nonentity. After this h a d gone on for some time, and the merits of tha select committee of the Commons and of the Boundary Clmmissioners had been arrayed against each other, matters reached a climax, and Earl RUSSELL, with true dramatic effect seized his hat and marched from the House, declaring that he would not be a party to any such breach of faith. The noble earl was followed with more haste than dignity by Lords GRANVILLE, CLARENDON, HALI FAX, and o th ers, l eav i ng on l y f our representat i ves of the Opposition remaining, of whom the Duke of ARGYLL was one. Those left beind continued the debate a little longer, but ended, as they could hardly avoid doing under the circumstances, by an adjournment. The subject of this very animated dispute was really very much exaggerated, and the noble lords who jumped at once to the fifth act of high tragedy might just as well have played their ordinary parts in their ordinary places. The story of the quarrel is very soon told. On the House going into Committee on the Boundary Bill, Earl BEAUCILAMP moved an amendment to elluse 4. Those who are interested in the details of this mea sure will remember that there was . some difference of opinion between the Commissioners and the Com mittee of the House of Commons. Earl BEAUCHAIIP'S amendment was intended to restore the original recommendation of the Commissioners with respect to Birkenhead and Birmingham, which had been overridden by the Committee on the ground that the districts would be too large to canvass if any additions were made to them. It was not the ques tion itself, however, which occasioned the hot dis pute in the Lords ; the point at issue was the arrangements made in the Commons. The re- port of the Commissioners had been presented, and the Government founded a bill upon it which was debated in the Commons, together with the re- port of the Committee. The Prime Minister, it was urged by the Opposition, had accepted tho de- cision of the House of Commons and declared the Boundary Bill settled, and therefore the House of Lords had no right to re-open the question. This was the so-called breach of faith which gave such dire offence to Earl RUSSELL and his followers, but their indignation seems to have been singularly ill-plac3l. One House can never bind the actions of the other, and every bill that is " settled" in the House of Commons has to be re-discussed in the House of Lords. Every hard-fought step in the Re- form Bill was fought over again in the Upper House, and no pledges or promises made in the one pre vented the renewal of the debate in the other. Such a doctrine would reduce the House of Lords to an absolute political nonentity, and they might as well shut their doors altogether and allow the bills passed by the House of Commons to go up at once for the Royal assent. There is no chance of defeating or evading the decision of the Commons unfairly, be- cause, as the Lord Chancellor reminded the House, if their lordships altered the bill it must go down again to the House of Commons for reconsidera- tion. It is something quite new in Parliamentary doctrine and practice that the one House shall not be at liberty to rediscuss questions con- sidered settled by the other. Earl BEAUCHAMP, who was apparently a little surprised at the storm he had evoked, remarked that the outburst of in- dignant virtue they had heard that evening ought to have taken pl ace on T ues d a y, w h en th e S co t c h Re form Bill was up and notice was given of an im- portant amendment upon it. The noble earl was, however,anxious to avoid the appearance of a sur- prise, and therefore he moved that the Chairman might report progress, so that the subject might be fully discussed on another evening. The E3tablished Church (Ireland) Commission sat yesterday at their offices, 4, Westrninsfer-chambers, Victoria -street.

Mr. GLAD STONE did himself honour by thus praising the Government, and spoke altogether in a manner befitting the occasion. It is seldom that we are able in this vexatious world' tei look with such unmixed satisfaction upon any human undertaking, and Sir R. NAPIER, and those who co-operated with him, may well be congratulated on the result of their labours. It was indeed a theme to fire the eloquence of the orator, and to awake the enthusiasm of the patriot., while to those to whom the tribute was offered, it was indeed a proud and happy thing, and one to be remembered with pride hereafter by their descendants. And so it has ever proved. The loud and cordial cheers of the Houses of Parliament, as the motion was put and carried, are but the types and symbols of the feeling out of doors, and the Abyssinian Ex pedition, with its doubtful commencement, its perilous prosecution, and its glorious termination, will long live in the page of history and redound to ;he honour of the country.

Thiers's great speech here yesterday created a eenSs.. ;ion proportionate to the increased interest and importance of this great debate. From the Bridge of Concord to the Hall of the Corps Lkislatif an immense crowd had assembled, choking up the way, so that the leputies themselves could hardly reach their places. rickets for admission were vainly sought. At prices ranging up to 100 f. each they had all disappeared. Inside ill the Ministers were in their places, and the crowd of members and spectators, many ladies being amongst the latter, can be compared only to the House ›f Commons under the exhilarating influence of "No :onfidence." The entrance of the little man in elate :olour was a double triumph of intellect, for the sensation amongst the ladies at his appearance was so great that the bonnet of one fell off and crowned one of the honourables below. A quarter of an hour was given for the assembly to enjoy such incidents, while M. de Lavalette bad all the appear ance of reading le prods verbal. Then M. Thiers made his way to the tribune with slow steps,as if Atlas had lest his occu pation and the great French politician upheld the world in his stead. M. Thiers has not a commanding manner in open ing fire. His stature is not only short, but his voice is so low that his first sentences cannot be heard. He seems to grasp the benches one by one until he covers the entire room, and gradually warms in tone and manner as he advances. His speech yesterday was admirably combined and well conceived ; though even in the best parts it wants piquancy and fire. IT. Thiers never travels from the domain of logic, but though as cold as steel, it is equally cutting, and was felt to he so by the entire Assembly. The substance of the argument may be stated thus: French finance is not at present in a normal condition. The existing embarrassment is not only great, but the system of discounting the ultimate increase in the receipts leaves no hope for future improvement if no immediate reform takesplace. In other words, French Ministershave so ac quired the habit of irst calculating upon increase of revenue, and debt has so accumulated in addition to such calcula tions, that the natural development of income can have no beneficial effect. In describing the difficulty, 11. Thiers did not fail to point out the mode of remedy. Remember. irg his past policy, the orator supported great armaments, not for intervention, but to prove to Germany that France will not tolerate further usurpation. He even rejected much of the economy recommended by the Budget Com mission. He has therefore only one alternative left—to augment the taxation. Only two resources can possibly be found—reduction of - expenditure or increase of income ; and M. Thiers, in choosing the latter, has accepted the only course his policy leaves him. Increased imposts would undoubtedly be better than handing down a vast and ever-increasing burden to posterity—and that is all. The weight of M. Thiers's speech consists in thoroughly condemning the Emperor's system of finance, whilst agreeing with the armament volley which is the cause of the difficulty. I hear that many members of the Government are struck with the unanimity of opinion, even from their own supporters, in this debate. There is a remote possi bility, after all, that something may be gained by thepopu. lar voice ; and that, if the war policy be not abandoned, the nation may at least secure participation in finance matters, and put an end to the borrowing system. Criminal statistics and statistics of primary education have produced a vigorous debate between the Univers and the Opinion .Nationale. The former journal somewhat triumphantly remarks that out of 4,551 criminals con demned in 1866, 2,600 have received primary education. The reply doubts in the first place the accuracy of the figures, as it is difficult to discover the truth in these matters. In the next place, it is argued, that in Franca at least two - thirds of the population have received some primary education, and in this proportion 3,034 out of 4,551 should be "educated" crimi• nals. The whole argument appears very weak. Leaving the statistics, it might fairly be inquired whether the only object and purpose of education is to influence the law. breaking proportion of the population. This is a great end indeed, but surely it is not all. They do not manage everything better in France ; anu amongst other matters incompetence on the subject of mad dogs is very apparent. In Lyons seventeen persons have been bitten by these animals, and a great number of sheep, cattle, and other dogs have fallen victims. The system of " arresting" stray dogs is required in the south. The only objection to that plan is the extreme liability to be bitten whilst taking into custody canine strangers without visible means of support. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. A meeting of this association was held on Thursday at its nouse, John-street, Adelphi, Mr. Thomas Chapman, F.R.S., vice-president, in the chair. Reports were read from Cap tain Ward and Captain Robertson, showing the I resent state of the society's boats on the Scotch and Irish coasts. Some remarkable cases of the restoration of the apparently drowned were brought under the notice of the iikt . tution. In one instance, a child named Owen Jones was taken out of the water at Holyhead apparently dead, and it was an hour and a half before he gave signs of life. He was treated for two hours in accordance with the instructions of the National Lifeboat Institution, which are based on tho sys tems of Drs. Marshall, Hall, and Sylvester. Dr. Morehead, of Edinburgh, who is a strong advocate of these instructions, urges that they should not only be explained by medical men, clergymen, and others, to all classes of the community, and posted iu conspicuous places in localities adjoining the sea, lakes, and rivers, but that every opportunity should also be taken by masters of schools, and the heads of other large establishments, of impressing them on the minds of all who are subject to their influence and control. It may be added that copies of these instructions can be had on application at the institution. It was stated that the late Mr. Jos. Hudson, of Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicester, had left the society a legacy of £lOO. The late Mr. F. Floar, of Rochester, had also be queathed it £lO. Mr. Robert Deer, of Auckinraith, N. 8., and the members of his family, were about to present a lifeboat to the institution, along with a sum of money to endow it, in memory of Mr. Kees eldest son, who was unhappily drowned on the coast of Argyleshire. Payments amounting to upwards of £1,300 having been ordered to be made on va rious lifeboat establishments, the proceedings terminated. THE WEATHER TABLE,-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

(14it Sum LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1868 Both Houses of Parliament had a grateful task to perform in passing the vote of thinks to the Abyssinian Expedition. It was one of those occa sions in which Englishmen are always found to be of accord, and if we bad to choose a favourable opportunity for a stranger or foreigner to witness the proceedings in our Legislature, we could not fix upon one more happily illustrative of our na tional characteristics than that now before us. Lord MALNIESBURY proposed the vote in the House of Lords to the various officers of the army and navy, whose energy, perseverance, and gallantry had brought the affair to a speedy and most successful close. The noblelordgave a brief account of the chief events connected with the Abyssinian Expedition altogether, and showed the necessity that existed for its being carried out, and the skill and bravery with which the task was executed. Lord RUSSELL came out with all his old spirit in seconding the motion, and expressed his satisfaction that we have " added another to the brilliant achievements of the British army ; that we have added another to the roll of those names which carry our military fame over the world." The noble lord very truly said that it was a most fortunate thing that the war terminated as it had done, and that no cruelties against the prisoners rendered it necessary for our troops to prolong the campaign. We feel no doubt that the army would have been equal to any de mands made upon it, and that their courage and endurance would not have failed; but it is a mercy that protracted hostilities were not called for on ' many accounts. We are glad that the noble earl rendered justice to the Government for the 'miner in which they had acted on this momentous occa sion, and declared that they had earned the grati tude of the country by their promptitude and per severance. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE spoke with great animation of the difficulties that Sir ROBERT NAPIER had had to contend against, and especially praised the unanimity which had distinguished the various departments. Lord DERBY spoke with great earnestness, and said he was eager to add his voice to the cheering which had greeted the victorious general and Army who have just completed an expedition that will ever be memorable in the annals of history, It must be remembered also that the noble earl was at the head of affairs when this expedition was first decided on. It must have been with a proud feeling that Lord DERBY congratulated his noble friends in the Go vernment on the SUCCC3.3 of an undertaking which had cost them many anxious moments when it was first planned. It was planned for the honour of the country and the interests of humanity. In alluding to the difficulties of the expedition, Lord DERBY quoted the homely lan guage of the soldier, who said, when he was told that they were marching on the " table land" of Abyssinia, that the table must have been turned upside down there, and they were marching over the legs. It is fortunate that the state of the noble earl's health enabled him to be present on this in teresting occasion, and he had every right to speak on the subject, since he was of all men the most responsible for the expedition being sent out, and may be congratulated on its glorious result, though he welcomes back the vict or i ous troops in a pri va t e capacity, and no longer occupies the part of the chief admirer of the brave. In the House of Commons the scene was most animated and interesting, and, after the many stormy episodes that have taken place th's ses sion, it was a refreshing change to witness the goodwill and unanimity that reigned supreme. Mr. DISRAELI, in one of his most felicitous speeches, proposed the vote of thanks to Sir R. NAFIER and those engaged in the Abyssinian Ex pedition. As the right hon. gentleman proceeded to iiiustrat . ,e the chief features of the expedition to the House, one might almost have fancied that his glowing words described some tale of romance rather than the deeds of reality, and that the won derful legends of the East were under discussion rather than the exploits and achievements of the English army in the nineteenth century. The march of the Abyssinian expedition was the chief part of its wonders, and will long live as a mighty undertaking. As Mr. I)BRAELI effectively described it, Sir R. NAPIER had to perform moat astonishing feats, and he had to commence his operations by forcing his force on a desolate shore, and by cutting a road to the land he was invading through a wall of mountains. Ile contrived, over a most difficult country, to guide and sustain a flume- roes host " over this he guided cavalry and nfantry, and, what was stranger than all, he led he elephants of Asia, bearing the artillery of Europe, over African passes, which might have startled the trapper, and appalled the hunter of the Alps." When at last the army reached the rendezvous they found no insignificant foe to en- counter. But Sir ROBERT NAPIER overcame all ,hose details, and, finally, that carat; to pass which ien years ago was never dreamt of, " the standard Friday.

Since yesterday morning barometrical pressure has decreased a little, principally in the south-east ; but this morning it is again increasing in London. The region of low pressure is still over France. Temperature has diminished considerably at our northern stations-16 deg. at Leith; but at Toulon It has risen 8 deg. Else where there is very little change. Winds are generally moderate from the northward, with a westerly tendency on our north-west coasts. The weather is cloudy, with mist and fog in places. A little rain has fallen at some stations. Risk Allah must feel like a player engaged in a chess tournament. He has won the first game, lost the second, and now the third is drawn. Unfortunately, these games involve considerable sums of money, and the tnd of it is that the handsome Syrian has gained LOGO and lost £3,000 ; or, as there is some doubt about that point, let us say he has failed to gain £3,000. Then there are the lawyers' bifls in the second and third trials, which must be heavy. Of course the lawyers have looked after them selves. But how about Risk Allah's creditors? They were to have been paid with the money which he says fell into the Bosphorus, and which the divers could not find and the insurance company will not repay. It is sad to think that so honourable an intention as this of the 13 ey's should be defeated by the combined perversity of gods and men—of Neptune and the British and Foreign Marine Insurance Company. We wait to see the next demand which this Admirable Crichton—doctor, soldier, sailor, merchant, and Bey—means to make upon the patience awl ingenuity of a British jury, Wiz nod 144 THE GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHS BILL. The telegraph companies having withdrawn their oppo sition to the bill, the necessary evidence to be brought before the committee should occupybut little time; but, un fortunately, a large number of railway companies who have substantially no interest in the matter have been stimulated by their solicitors to appear in opposition to the bill, and the long array of counsel who represent these companies will be naturally anxious to secure as many refreshers as possible. It is, however, thought that they cannot pos sibly prolong the committee many days, and as the Government are determined to press the bill, and to keep the House open, if necessary, until the middle of August, there is a strong probability that the bill will pass this session. The terms on which the Government will purchase the interest of the com panies have been known for some days, but they transpired officially yesterday morning. The companies are to be paid twenty years' purchase on their net profits, to be ascertained by arbitration. The shares of the Electric and International have advanced about £3O each since this has become known. It is there fore clear the companies will not suffer by the arrange ment. At the same time it will not be a bad bargain for the Government, as, in addition to the saving effected by the amalgamation of the companies, the present receipts will pay 5 per cent. on the proposed purchase money. 3012 f. 30'18f. 3017 f. 30'18f. 29'27f, 29'95 31'18f. 30 26f. 3014 f. 30'15f. 30'f25. 23017 f. 30'17f. 30'12f. 30 OSf. 30'24f. 30T5f. 29'98f. 30'08f. 29 97f, 30'0 f. 30'025. 29'91 2994 39'00 29'805. !b.co b. o. b. o. c.o. b. m o. c. b.c. b.o.' c.m.' b.o.' b.f.

NORTH LANCASHIRE. — Captain Stalley (C.) has an nounced his intention not to appeal to the constituency of Preston for re-election. In compliance with a requisition signed by a large proportion of the electors of North Lan cashire, the hon. gentleman has deteimined to contest that division of the county. SOUTH HANTS.— Sir J. G.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE.--A meeting of liberal electors has been held at Garston in support of the light Hon. W. E. Gladstone for the representation of South Lancashire. Resolutions were unanimously agreed to sympathising with him in his endeavours to secure epitable representa tion of the people in Parliament, and to obtain justice for all classes of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland, and pledging the meeting to use every effortin their power to return him and a Liberal colleague to tle Reformed Par liament. LEOMINSTER.—Both the present meml:ers intend to fight for the single seat left them by the new acform Bill, viz., Mr. Arkwright and Lord Mahon.

Oppenheim to erect a statue to the late Prince Consort in the City, the civic authorities under taking to grant an appropriate site for the purpose. While many provincial towns have had their statues or memorials of the Prince, the City of London has been without either up to this time. ►SEVENTEEN PERSONS BITTEN BY MAD DOGS. —The Salut Public of Lyons states that in the past week seventeen persons were bitten by mad dogs. At Saint- Genis-Laval a large dog traversed the commune, biting men and animals. Ten persons were injured. A little girl of five or ai x years bad her face partly torn away. She is despaired of. At Neyron five persons were bitten by another dog. At Montluol two persons were bitten. The number of sheep,' cattle, and other clogs that have been bitten is very great. The secretary-general of the police department has ordered an inquiry into the matter. A DRUNKEN JUROR.—In a case tried at the Staffordshire Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, the foreman of the jury handed in a verdict as that of elevea j trymen, the twelfth, he said, being too drunk to concur or disagree. Mr. Twemlow, the assistant chairman, ordered the inebriated juryman into custody, where he was detained until the rising of the court on' Wednesday. He had in the meantime attempted to bribe his gaoler, first to set him at liberty, and then to procure him some whisky.

The serious and very pain ful wound which he suffered not only healed with remark. able rapidity—after a period of acute pain and much anxiety—but has left absolutely no traces ; and there is now even barely a skin-mark to indicate an injury which was within a hair's breadth of causing instant death.— British Medical Journal. The Leeds Art Exhibition now temporarily eon. tains a manuscript Bible which belonged to King Theodore, and a chain used for the confinement of ono of the English captives at Magdala; also a brass cannon ball and shell fired from that fortress, and an album left at 3lagdala by one of the German prisoners. They were all taken at Magdala by Major Leveson. The manuscript Bible contains the Psalms, the Canticles, the Song of Songs, the Weddase Maryam, or Encomium of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Gospel of St. John, followed by some short services. The book is also illustrated by pictures of St. George and the Dragon, the Virgin and Child, the Presentation in the Tem ple, the Resurrection, with Adam and Eve, Pontius Pilate, the Entombment of Claudius, King of Abyssinia, and save al other pictures. LIVERPOOL EMIGATION RETURNS.—GREAT IN CREASE. —The number of passengers who left Liverpool during the month of June, under the provisions of the Emigration Act, was 17,987, or 7,058 more than during the previous month. During the quarter there were 57,208 passengers despatched from the port, an increase of 14,141 on the corresponding quarter of 1867. During June 6,443 English, 532 Scotch, 3,023 Irish, and 7,987 foreigners sailed under the Act.

One of the coal pits belonging to Messrs. Andrew Knowles and Son, at Little Lever, near Bolton, is now-on fire. At a very early hour on Tuesday morning a large volume of smoke was observed to be ascending the upcast shaft. Fortunately none of the workmen, and only a few ponies, were down at the time. Steps were immediately taken to extricate them, and the frantic animals were successfully got out ; meanwhile the pit was found to be thoroughly on fire, the heat became more intense, and the smoke came up in larger quantities. It was decided to cover in both the up and down-cast shafts, and with that object a number of the men were set to work. They finished at - a late hour on Wednesday evening, all air, it is expected, being now excluded from the mine. The pit will have to remain covered for some weeks. JEALOUSY AND REVENGE. —A young man, a letterpress printer, named James Earley, has been brought before Mr. Traffurd, county police magistrate at Man chester, on remand, for having stabbed Sophia Meadows, his sweetheart, with a penknife. Sophia Meadows, a young woman of some personal attractions, said the pri soner had courted her about four years. He committed the assault whilst under the influence of intoxication and provocation. She was talking and dancing with a rival at the time. He went behind her and statilx..sd her in the back and hip about six times. A surgeon who had examined the wounds said they were not deep or dangerous. Mr. R. B. Cobbett, solicitor, on behalf of the prisoner, asked some questions of the prosecutrix, as to whether the con duct of Earley during the four years of their courtship had not been marked by kindness and affection. The young woman, in replying affirmatively, was overcome by emotion, and the prisoner was affected in the same manner, so that for some time there was a scene in court which interrupted business. In reply to an appeal from Mr. Cobbett who said that the prosecutrix did not wish to proceed with the case, Mr. Trafford said the case must 5o t 9 p jury, P. 114 Fol2,p.l.ittc(„l 1'49 prigvr thy aseijsmit IPSWICH.—A correspondent, writing on Wednesday, says :—" The Liberal party in the borough have resolved to start a second candidate with Mr. H.

Mr. West conferred with some hundreds of his supporters on Tuesday evening, when he was unanimously invited to present himself to the great body of the electors upon an early day in the ensuing week.

LONGPELLOW IN ENGLAND. -0- - (Prom the Times) Welcome to England ! thou whose strains prolong The glorious bede-roll of our Saxon song: Ambassador and Pilgrim-Bard in one, Fresh from thy home—the home of Washington. On hearths as sacred as thine own, here stands The loving welcome that thy name commands; Hearths swept for thee and garnished as a shrine By trailing garments of thy Muse divine. Poet of Nature and of Nations, know Thy fair fame spans the ocean like a bow, Born from the rain that falls into each life, Kindled by dreams with loveliest fancies rife; A radiant arch that with prismatic dyes Links the two worlds, its keystone in the skies. The noblest creatures of those dreams of thine, From Hiawatha to Evangeline,' Here thou wilt find, where'er thy footsteps roam, Loved as the cherished Lares of each home. What prouder refrain heartens to the core Than thou ho.ot oung in brave Excelsior? Where sounds more gladdening 'mid this earthly strife Than the sweet clarions of thy Psalm of Life? None but the rarest raconteur may grace The mimic contest where most yield thee place. Say which, for either, fairer wreaths produce, Irving's Astoria or thy Flower de Luce? Which haunted hostel lures more guests within, Hawthorne's Seven Gables or the Wayside Inn ? Turning the pictured page, what Varyin g dyos Shine through each latticed margin's new surprise ! Here the swart Blacksmith, smirched with grime and 14 " Tears in his eyes, yet every inch a man. Here, 'mid the rice -field, heaving his last breath, The poor Slave -monarch dreams himself to death. Here, while without raves the tempest's din, Here, while around the revellers brawl within, The dying Baron thro' the grave's dark goal Seeks Christ's redeeming passport for his soul. Who hears not now, stormed down among thy leaves, The rain that poured like cataracts from the eaves. Roared through the kennels, lashed the streaming pen e° ' Flooded the sqi a 3 the streets, the courts, the knol l Raging like seas that o'er some foundering wreck S will thro' the scuppers from the swimming deck ? Cool, teeming, plenteous, soul-refreshing showers Quaffed by parched earth and by the thirsting flowers, Nor less by those who listened to thy song As, like Lodore's, thy deluge dashed along. Where subtler solace than thy gentle voice From riven hearts can draw till griefs rejoice ? Answer, what oft' repining woe o'erpowers, That lay serene, the Reaper and the Flowers ? So large thy sympathies, thy hand can trace Charms in each clime and glory in each race : So penetrant thy love, its gaze can find God in the flower, His breathings in the wind ; Mesh with mere hempen coil in rope-walk spun All human joys and ills beneath the sun ; Wake with grand echoes of responsive rhymes Long silent notes of medieval chimes ; Nay, hear in hush of serried arms arrayed " The diapason of the cannonade." 'Mid purgatorial fires, in heaven, in hell, Thy dauntless soul bath lately dared to dwell, Passing o'er burning marl, where Dante trod With Virgil's ghost, to Beatrice and God. Yet, rarely gifted Nature to translate, Reflect not others, thus : thyself create. Ring out once more in thy own golden lines Life's inner meaning, not the Florentine's Thou who hast given tby dreamings to our sight And syllabled the Voices of the Night : Thou who hast sung, as none but thou could sing, The tender legend of the Angel-King : Thou who around with affluent baud bast thrown The heavenly largess of thy benison, Regarding none as alien to thy breast Columbia's Poet, hail as England's Guest !
