' . . could not, however, fail often and , in the progress of my intercourse with -dt country, "come not my soul into their -to their counsel, my honour, be not thou united." she same time I wished never to make any compro mise of my opinion. I made it a point to pay special respect to the leading Abolitionists—those who had le boured or suffered in the cause—when I came within reach of them. At Boston I committed the more overt act of attending the annual anti-slavery fair, which then was almost considered something of a measure. I was much struck, in the distinguished and agreeable companies which I had the good fortune to frequent, with a few honourable exceptions, at the tone of disparagement, contempt, and anger with which the abolitionists were mentioned; just as'any patrician Company in this country w ou ld ta lk of a Socialist or Red Republican.' I am, of course, now speaking-of the free northern states; in the south an abolitionist could not be known to exist. My impression is, that in the subse quent interval, the dislike, the anger may remain, and may, probably, have been heightened, but that the feel ing of slight, of ignoring (tn use a current phrase) their very existence, must have been sensibly checked. It may be easy to speak discreetly and glansibly about the paramount duty of not contravening the law; but how would you feel, my countrymen, it a fugitive was at your feet and the man -hunter at the door? I admit that the majesty of the law is on one side; but the long deep misery of a whole human life is on the other. What you ought to feel is fervent gratitude to the Power which has averted from your shores and hearths this fearful trial, arid, let me add, a heartfelt sympathy with those who are sustaining it. With reference to the topic I have lately touched upon, a Slaveholders' Con vention was being held at the time of my visit to the state of Maryland. They had been led to adopt this step by their apprehensions both of the in crease of the free coloured population, and what they termed their demoralising actiou on the slaves. The language, as reported, did not seem to have been very violent, but they very nearly subjected to lynch-law a man whom they suspected to be a reporter for an abo litionist newspaper. I trust we are not going to copy that system it this country. From Baltimore I trans ferred myself to Washington, the seat of Government and capital of the American Union. I never saw so strange a place; it affords the strongest contrast to the regularity, compactness, neatness, and animation of the American cities I had hitherto visited. It is spread over a very large space, in this way justifying the expression of some one who wished to pay it a compliment, but did not l-klagar jviry.Ven-If ...kg).o4.a4iikates to settet,ito be termedis a ci t y of 131.9 Off cent dritelhilter; ittertlreternit' ere tends, or rather sprawls; it looks as if it bad rained houses at random, or like half a d o ze n i n diff eren t villages scattered over a goose common. Here and there, as if to heighten tbs contrast with the mean ness of the rest, there are some very handsome public buildings; and the American Capitol, the meeting-place of the Legislature and the seat of empire, though not exempt from architectural defects, towers proudly on a steep ascent, which commands the subject town and the course of the broad Potomac, which makes the only re deeming feature of the natural landscape. In short, while almost every other place which I saw in America gives the impression of lite and progress, Washington not only appears stagnant but retrograde. No busy commerce circulates in its streets, no brilliant shops diversify its mean ranges of ill-built houses; but very few equipages move along its wide, splashy, dreary avenues. I saw it, too, in the prime of ins season, during the sitting of Congress. When it is not sitting the mem bers of the Legislature and officers of the Government dis pose themselves over the breadth of the Union, and leave the capital to the clerks of the public offices, and does it not seem profanation to say it the slaves, who are still l ermitted to inhabit what should rightfully be the metropolis of freedom. It is at least gratifying to know that, in the last session of Congress, the slave trade hes been abolished in the Oistrict of Columbia, the small portion of territory imnae di:oely annexed to Washington. When they are here, the members of Congress are mostly packed together in large and very interior boarding houses, a great portion of them not bringing their wives and families over the immense distances they have to tra verse. Hence it also happens that Washington will ap pear to the stranger not merely one of the least thriving, but also the least hospitable of American cities. I be lieve it was the policy of the founders of the Republic to place the sea: of government where it would not be liable to be distracted by the turmoil of commerce, or overawed by the violence of mobs; we have heard very lately of speculations to remove the seat of the French Government from Paris. Another cause which has probably contributed to cheek any designs for the external improvement and development f Washington must have been the doubt how far, in a nation which is extending its boundaries westward at so prodigious a rate, it will be desirable or possible long to le tin as a seat of government a spot which will have become so little central. What gave most interest to my stay at Washington naturally was the opportunity of attending the sittings of Congress. The interior of the capitol is imposing as well as the ex terior. In the centre hall there were five large pictures, illustrating the prominent points of American history, which must be more agreeable to American than to British eyes. There is also a fine colossal statue of Washington, who is universally and not unduly called the father of his country. The chamber where the Se nate meets is handsome and convenient. The general aspect of the Assembly, which (es is well known) shares largely both in the legislative and executive powers of the Constitution, is grave and decorous. The House of Representatives, the more popular branch of the Go vernment, returned by universal suffrage, assemble in a cbamber of very imposing appearance, arranged rather like a theatre, in shape like the arc of a bow, but it is the worst room for hearing I ever was in; we hear complaints occasionally of our Houses of Parliament, old and now, hut thoy aro Coaltlosa in comparison. In parts of the house it is impossible to hear any body, in others it answers all the purposes of a whispering gallery, and I have heard members carry on a continu ous dialogue while a debate was storming around them. Both in the Senate and in the house every member has a most commodious armchair, a desk for his papers, and a spitting-box, to which he does not always confine himself. I went very often, and it was impossible to surpass the attention I received ; some member's seat in the body of the house was always given to me, and I wits at liberty to remain there during the whole of the debate, or write my letters as I chose. The palpa ble distinction between them and our House of Commons I should say to be this : we are more noisy, and they are more disorderly. They do not cheer, they do nut cough, but constantly several are speaking at a time, and they evince a contemptuous disregard for the deci sions of their Speaker. They have no recognised leaders of the different parties, the members of Government not being allowed to have seats in either house of Con gress, tied the different parties do not occupy distinct quarters in the Chamber, so that you may often hear a furious wrangle being carried on between two nearly contiguous members. While I was at Washington, the question of slavery, or at least of points connected wish slavery, gave the chief colour and animation to the discassions in the House of Representteives. Old Mr. Adams, the ex-President of the United States, occu pied, without doubt, the most• prominent position; he presented a very striking e ppearance, standing up erect at the age of 75, having eiee filled the highest post at tainable by an American citizen, with trembling hands and eager eyes, in defence of the right of petition—the right to petition against the cottinuence of slavery in the district of Columbia, with a majority of the House usually deciding against him, and a portion of it lashed into noise and storm. I thought it W 45 very near being, and to some extent it was, quite a sublime position, but it rather detracted from the grandeur of the effect at least that his own excitement was so great as to pitch his voice almost into a screech, and to make him more disorderly than all the rest. He put one in mind of a fine old game cock, and occasionally showed great energy and power of sarcasm. I had certainly an op portunity of forming my opinion, as I sat through a speech of his that lasted three days; but then it is fair to mention that the actual sittings hardly last above three hours a day—about four dinner is ready, and they ger away for the day, differing much herein from our practice ; and on this occasion they frequently allowed Mr. Adams to sit down to rest. All the time I believe he was not himself for the discontinuance of slavery, even in the district of Columbia, but he con tended that the Constitution had acceded the free right of petition. His brave but somewhat troublous spirit has passed from the scenes upon which he played so conspicuous a part, but he has left behind him some words of fire, the sparks of which are not yet extinct. Nothing came of all this stir; I used to meet Mr. Adams at dinner while it went on, very calm and undisturbed. After seeing and hearing what takes place in some of these sittings, one is tempted to think that the Union must break up next morning; but the flame appeared generally to smoulder almost as quickly as it ignited. The debates in the Senate, during the same period, were dignified, business-like, and not very lively; soli may be judged which house had most attraction for the passing traveller. .1 heard Mr. Clay in thee Senate once, but every one told me that he was labouring under feeble ness and exhaustion, so that I could only perceive the great man in the tones of his voice. I think this most attractive quality was still more :perceivable in private intercourse, as I certainly never met any public man, either in his country or in mine, always excepting Mr. Canning, who exercised such evident fascination over the minds and affections of his friends and fol lowers as Henry Clay. I thought his society most at tractive, easy, simple, and genial, with great natural dignity. When the actual list is considered, my respect for the discernment elicited by universal suffrage does not stand at a very high point. Another great mats Daniel Webster, I could not hear in either House of Congress, because he then filled, as he does now, the high office of Secretary of State; but it is quite enough to beam on his jutting dark brow and cavernous eyes, and massive forehead, to be assured that they are the abode of as much if not more intellect than any head For he s a h n o y u , d b f e n o a t g f a o i r n all at for I feel sure that e well m r that e c e m r o i n a c r t a e k n n e t d c . aCabinet, t, hee reasons , sh h oa head yi of you um t h e t while he is ever intensely American, he has an en lightened love of peace, and a cordial sympathy with the fortunes and glories of the old, as well as the new Angle-Saxon Saxon stock. The late Mr. Calhoun, who im pressed - most of those who were thrown in his way with a tug *opinion of his ability, his honesty, and I may add, his impracticability, I had not the good fortune to hear in public or meet in.privale society. It is well known that his attachment to the maintenance of slavery went so-fur as to lead him to declare that real freedom could not be maintained without it. [Lord Carlisle here made a inlet reference to the White tiouse, the official residence of the President of the United States, and to Mr. Tyler, who then occupied it, and whom his Lordship destgnatid as "a simple anal fectei person."] The last day of my abode at Wash ington was spent becomingly at Mount Vernon, the resi dence, and now the grave, of Washington.

The circumstance of the action being! brought by one office against another presents a striking illustratio I of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the pi x sent system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute sect Irity can be btained by the public must lie in the general adoption b. p Assurance Offices of the plan of protecting them selves in,every CEO a 3 by due inquiries before the grantim - f each po licy, and of aftereke ards assuming the full responsibility on the com pleteness of such nquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future I question. In the present case two offices are found to be diamel x 'catty opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidit e a claim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare then as elves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred befo Ire, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure ti be progress of life assurance.

Matriculated Member of the University of Ndin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their Invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art; alike restrict him and preVent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. TWMERT has taken the highest • medical honours, as his diplomaslestify, and , the great extent of his practice for many years is a gnarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

THE EARL of CARLISLE at LEEDS. • <From titft,Chronie/c.-) - LEEDs, FRIDAY.—=The second lecture announced for delivery by the Earl of Carlisle was delivered in the Music-hall to-night. As the subject of the lecture was to embrace his Lordship's recollections of his travels through the United States and Canada in 1841-2, the interest excited among the townspeople was more intense, and the demand for tickets more numerous and more pressing than even on the former evening. And, though the restrictions remained as before, vet the Music-hall was perceptibly fuller to-night. The orchestra, even where the more distinguished guests were accommodated, was much and inconveniently crowded, while to those who were standing in the body of the hall, the pressure and discomfort must have been very :great. No one would have imagined, however, that any inconvenience was felt by them, as they, listened with the most fixed attention, moved only by frequent bursts of ap plause through the two-and-a-half hours that this lec ture lasted, as well as dating the remaining half hour that was taken up i❑ passing a vote of thanks to his Lordship. Notwithstanding this, the defect of the town in not having a hall fit to accommodate such an audience as was brought together has been the subject of gene ral conversation. Jt seems probable that L'eds will not much longer be behind Birmingham and Manchester in having a hall where the great body of the citizens can assemble. The company to-night was near ly th e same as l ast night. There were—the Mayor ; Mr. Beckett, M.P.; the Dean of Ripon; Mr. William Beckett Denison; Al. dermen Sidney and Hunter, of London; Mr. Bowes, President of the Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Insti tutes; Mr. Wilson, the Chairman of the Leeds Institu tion; and several ladies. His Lordship, on entering the room, was received with general applause, and imme diately commenced the lecture. It may be known to some of those whom I have the pleasure to see around me, that when circumstances to which I need not further allude, occasioned a breach, temporary, indeed, and seen repaired, in my connexion with the West Riding of Yorkshire—when, as the phrase was, some of your neighbours, and probably of your selves, had given me leave to go upon my travois, I thought I could make no better use of this involuntary I : iisuee than by Requiring. some personal knowledge of the United States of America. I accordingly embarked, in the autumn of the year 1841, and spent about one whole year in North America, having within that period passed nearly over the length and breadth of the Re public, trod at least the soil of twenty-two out of the twenty-six States of which the Union was then com posed, and paid short visits to the Queen's dominions in Canada, raid to the Island of Cuba. I determined to keep a journal during my travels, and only at the end of them to decide what should become of it when it was completed. I fiund it was written in too hurried and desultory a manner, and was too much confined to my own daily proceedings, to make it of interest to the public at large ; still more strongly I felt that, after having been received with uniform civility and attention, nay, I may say, with real warmth and openness of heart, I should not wish, even where I had nothing but what was most favourable', to communicate, immediately to exhibit myself as an in quisitive observer of the interior life to which I had been admitted; and this very feeling would probably have disqualified me for the office of an imparti“l critics Now, however, that above eight years have elapsed since lay return, in turning over the pages then written, it has ixlCialowabla to eadaav_oar, fora purpose like tne present, to convey a few of the leading impressions which I derived from the surface of nature and society as they exbibitcd themselves in the new world. It must follow necessarily, from such limits as could be allowed to me on an occasion of this kind, that any account which I can put together from materials so vast and so crowded, must be the merest superficial skimming of the subject that can be conceived; all I can answer fur is that it shall be faithful to the feelings excited at the moment, and perfectly honest as far as it goes. I must premise one point with reference to what I have just now glanced at—the use of individual names. I came in contact with several of the public men—the his torical men they will be—of the American Republic. I shall think myself at liberty occasionally to depart in their instance from the rule of strict abstinence which I have otherwise prescribed to myself, and to treat them a s public property, so long as I say nothing to their dis advantage. It was on the 21st of October, upon a bright crisp morning, that the Columbia, steam-packet, upou which I was a passenger, turned the lighthouse outside the harbour of Boston. The whole effect of the scene was cheerful and pleasing; the bay is studded with small islands bare of trees, but generally crowned with some sparkling white building—frequently some public establishment. Lord Carlisle here described his ar rival at Boston, and his first impressions of that city.] These aro some of my external recollections of Boston; but there are some fonder still, of the most refined and animated social intercourse—of hospitalities which it seemed impossible to exhaust—of friendships which I trust can never be effaced. Boston appears to rue, zer tainly on the whole, the American town in which an Englishman of cultivated and literary tastes or philan ihropic pursuits, would feel himself most at home. The residence he re was ren d ere d pecul i arly agreeable . to me by a friendship with one of its inhabitants, which I had previously made in England; he hardly yet corner within my ruin of exception, hut I do not give up the notion of his becoming one of the historical men of his country. However, it is quite open for me to mention some of th ose with wi:om, mainly through his introduction, I here became ac• quainted. There was o ne M r . J ust i ce S torey, w h ose repetition and authority as a commentator and ex pounder of law stands high wherever law is known or honoered, and who was, what at least is more generally attractive, one of the most generous and single-hearted of men. Lie was an enthusiastic admirer of his country, especially of its lawyers; how he would kindle up and flow on if he touched upon Lord Hardwick or Lord Mansfield—" Sir," as an American always begins, "on the prairies of Illinois this day Lord Mansfield admi nisters the law of commerce." He had also a very ex alted opinion of the judgments of -Lord Stowell, which his own studies and practice have led him thoroughly to appreciate; and I may permit myself to say that ho had formed a high estimate of the judicial powers of Lord Cottenham. I must admit one thing—when he was in the room few others could get in a word; but it was impossible to resent this, tor he talked evidently not to bear down others, but because he could not help it. There was Dr. Charming. I could not hear him preach, as his physical powers were nearly exhausted; but on one or two occasions I was admitted to his house. You found a fragile frame, and a dry manner, but you soon felt that you were in a presence in which nothing that was impure, base, or selfish could breath at case. These, alas! have since my - visit been taken away. In the more immediate department of letters there aro happily seve ral who yet remain—Mr. Bancroft, the able and accom plished historian of his own country—Mr. Tricknor, who has displayed the resources of a well-stored and accomplished mind in his recent work on the literature of Spain—Mr. Longfellow, with whose feeling and graceful poetry many must be acquainted—Mr. Emer son, who has been heard and admired in this country— and I crown my list with Mr. Prescott, the historian of Ferdinand and Isabella, of Mexico and of Peru, with respect to whom, during the visit he paid to England during the past summer, I had the zsatisfaction of wit nessing how all that was most eminent in this country confirmed the high estimate I had myself formed of his head, and the higher one of his heart. The public in stitutions of Boston are admirably conducted. The public, or common schools there, as I believe in New England generally, are supported by a general rate, to which all contribute and all may profit by. lam not naturally now disposed to discuss the question how far this system would bear being transplanted and engrafted on our polity, but it would be uncandid if I did not state that the universality of the instruction, and the excellence of what fell under my own observation, presented to my mind some mortifying points of contrast with what we have hitherto effected at home. Before I leave Boston, let me add one observation on a lighter topic. I lodged at the Tremont Hotel, which was admirably conducted, like very many of those imposing establishments in the chief cities of the Union. Here I learnt that one is apt to receive false impressions at first. I was struck with the clean, orderly, agile a ppearance of the waiters. " The Americans beat ns h o llow in waiters," was my inner thought. On inquiring I found that of the twenty five waiters in the house, four were English and twenty one Irish. I could not help wishing that a large number the Irish might come and be waiters for a little while. Within time or four days of my landing I grow.impa tient to see the Falls of Niagara without 101 l of time; if [PRICE SD. any sudden eveat should have summoned me home, I felt how much I:should have grudged croseing the At lantic without having been at Niagara, and also wished to look upon the autumn tints' of the American Forest before the leaves, already beginning to fall, had entirely disappeared. [The speaker here recounted his travels by railway to Albany, adding a brief notice of that town, and quoted the following passage from his diary, con taining his first impression of the forest towns:—] " The moment is not come for me ) et, if it ever should come, to make me feel myself warranted in form ing speculations upon far results, upon guarantees for future endurance and stability; all that I can now do is to look and to marvel at what is before my eyes. Ido not think I am deficient in relish for antiquity and as secietion ; I know that I am English, not in a pig heeded adhesion to everything there, but in heart to its last throb. Yet I cannot be unmoved or callous to the soaring of young America, in such legitimate and lau dable directions too ; and I feel that it is already not the least bright, and may be the most enduring title of my country to the homage of mankind, that she has pro duced such a people. May God employ them both fur his own high glory," I am hound here in candour to state that I think what I first saw in America was, with little exception, the best of its kind ; such was the society of Boston—such was the energy of progress in the western portion of the State of New York. [Gerd Carlisle here alluded to some other places through which he passed prior 4 his arrival at Niagara.] When I arrived at the hotel, the Cataract House, I would not anticipate by any moonlight glimpses the full disclo sures of the coming day, but reserve my first visit for the clear light and freshened feelings of the morning. I staid five days at Niagara on that occasion; I visited it again twice, having travelled several thousands of Miles in_each interval. I have thus look,ed upon it in the late - autumn, in threArrapring s -end in tom,-fall summers- Mrs. Butler, in her charming work on America, when she comes to Niagara, says only, " Wbo can describe that eight?" and, with these words, finishes her book. There is not merely the difficulty of finding adequate words, but there is a simplicity and absence, as I should say, of incidents in the scenery, or at least so entire a subordination of them to the main great spectacle, that attempts at description would seem inapplicable as well as impotent. I have undertaken, however, the endea vour, though so inadequately, to place before you the impressions which I actually derived from the most prominent objects that I saw in America. How, then, can I wholly omit Niagara? The first view neither in the least disappointed or surprised, but it wholly satira tied me. I felt it to be complete, and that nothing could go beyond it; volume, majesty, might, are the first idea which it conveys: on nearer and more familiar inspec tion, I appreciated other attributes and beauties—the emerald crest—the seas of spray—the rainbow wreaths. Pictures end panoramas had given me a correct appre hen3ion of the form and outline; but they fail, for the same reason as language would, to impart an idea of the whole effect, which is not picturesque, though it is sub lime. There is also the technical drawback in painting, or the continuous mass of white, and the line of the summit of the Fall is as smooth and even as a common mill-darn. Do not imagine, however, that the effect could be improved by being more picturesque; just as there are several trivial and unsightly buildings ou the banks, but Niagara can be no mere spoiled than it can be improved. You would, who on the spot, no more think of complaining that Niagara was not pic turesque, than you would remark in the shock and clang of battle that a trumpet sounded out of tune. Living at Niagara was not like ordinary life; its not over loud, but cons t an t so l emn rear , h as i n itself a mysterious sound; is not the highest Voice to which the universe can ever listen, compared by inspiration to the sound of many waters? The whole of exi,tence there bas a dreamy but not a frivolous impulse; you feel that you are not in the common world, but in its subliwest temple. I naturally left such a place and such a life with keen regret, but I was already the last visitor of the year, and the hotels were about to close. On my going back, I paid two visits at country houses, one to an old gentleman, Mr. Wadsworth, most distinguished in appearance, manner, and understanding, who had set tled where I found him fifty years Inifore, when he had not a white neighbour within thirty miles, or a flour mill within fifty ; be lived entirely surrounded by Indians, who have now disappeared. Oa some occasion there had been a review of a corps of militia. A neigh bouring Indian Chief had been present, and was ob served to be very dejected. Mr. Wadsworth went up to him, offered refreshment, which was usually very ac ceptable, but he declined it. Upon being pressed to say what was the matter, he answered with a deep sigh, pointing to the east, " You are the rising sun;" then to the west, "We are the setting." The face of the country is now indeed changed; a small flourish• ing town, the capital of the country, stretches from the gate; and the house overlooks ono of the widest and best cultivated tracts in America, the v a lley of th e Gen nessee. My other visit was to Mr. Van Buren, who had been the last President of the United States, and who, I suspect, s wdly ..roekonori on being the next. It seemed, indeed, at that time, to be the general expecta tion among his own, the Democratic, or, as they were then commonly called, the Loco-foco party. He was at that time living on his farm of . liinderback; the house was modest and extremely well ordered, and nothing could exceed the courtesy or fulness of his conversation. He was full of anecdotes of all the public men of his country. In his dining-room were pictures of Jefferson and General Jackson, the great objects of his political devotion. [His Lordship then traced his route down the Hudson to New York, where he took up his winter quarters.] I thought this, the commercial and fashion able, though not the political capital of the Union, a very brilliant city. To give the best idea of it, I should describe it as something of a fusion between Liverpool and Paris —crowded quays, long perspectives of vessels and masts, bustling streets, gay shops, tall white houses, and a clear brilliant sky overhead. There is au absence of solidity in the general appearance, but in some of the new buildings they were successfully availing them selves of their ample resources in white marble and granite. At the point of the battery where the long thoroughfare of Broadway, extending some miles, pushes its green fringe into the wide harbour of New York, with its glancing waters and graceful shipping, and the limber, long raking masts, which look so dif ferent from our own, and the soft swelling outline of the receding shores, it has a special character and beauty of its own. I spent about a month here very pleasantly, the society appeared to me on the whole to have a less solid and really refined character than that of Boston, but there is more of animation, gaiety, and sparkle in the daily life. In point of hospitality, neither could outdo the other. Keeping to my rule of only men tioning names which already belong to fame, I may thus distinguish the late Chancellor Kent, whose com mentaries are well known to professional readers. He had been obliged, by what I think the very unwise law of the state of New York, to retire from his high legal office at the premature age of sixty, and there I found him, at seventy-eight, full of anima tion and racy vigour, which, combined with great sim plicity, made his conversation most agreeable: Wash ington Irving, a well-known name both to American and English ears, whose nature appears as gentle and genial as his works—l cannot well give higher praise: Me. Bryant, in high repute as a poet, and others. In no part of the world have I ever seen places of refreshment so attractive—every one seems to eat oysters all day long. What signifies more, the public institutions and schools are there also extremely well conducted. The churches of the different denominations are very nume rous and well filled. It is my wish to touch very lightly upon any point which among its, among even some of us now here, may be matter of controversy; I, however, honestly think that the experience of the United States does not as yet enable them to decide on either side the argument between the Established and volun tary systems in religion; take the towns by themselves, and I think the voluntary principle appears fully ade quate to satisfilill religious exigencies; then it must be remembered that the class which makes the main diffi culty elsewhere, scarcely, if at all, exists in America; it is the blessed privilege of the United States, and it is one which goes very far to counterbalance any drawbacks at which I may - nave to hint, that they really have not, as a class, any poor among them. A real beggar is what you never see. On the other hand, over their immense tracts of territory, the voluntary system has not sufficed to pro duce sufficient religious accommodation; it may, how ever, be truly questioned whether any establishment would be equal to that function. This is, however, one among the many questions which the republican experi ence of America has not yet solved. As matters stand at present, indifference to religion cannot be fairly laid to her charge; probably religions extremes aro pushed farther than elsewhere; there certainly is a breadth and universality of religious liberty which I do not regard without some degree of envy.—(Applause.) Upon my progress southward, I made a comparatively short halt at Philadelphia. This fair city has not the animation of New York, but it is eminently well-built, neat and clean beyond parallel. The streets are all at right-angles with each other, and bear the names of the different trees of the country; the houses are of red brick, and mostly have white marble steps and silver knockers, all looking bright and shining under the effect of copious and perpetual washing. It still looks like a town constructed by Quakers, who were its original founders; but by Quakers who have become rather dan dified. [Lord Carlisle then briefly alluded to some other objects in Philadelphia which attracted his notice; amongst others the waterworks, the model prison, and the costly poorhouse.] My next brief pause was iat Baltimore. At a halt on the road on the way thither, I heard a conductor or guard say to a negro, " I cannot let you go. for you are a slave." This was my first in timation that I had crossed the border which divides freedom from slavery. I quote from the entry which I made upon noting these words that evening. " Decla ration of Independence which I read yesterday — pillar of Washington which I have looked on to-day-- what are ye?"—(Great applause.) I must now give myself some little vent. It was a subject which I felt during my whole sojourn in America, as I feel it still, to be paramount in interest to every other. It was one on which I intended and en d ea voured to ob serve a sound discretion ; we have not ourselves long enough washed off the stain to g ive us the right to rail at; those wh om we h a d originally inoculated with the i pest ; and a stranger abundantly experiencing hospi tality could not with any propriety interfere wantonly upon the moat delicate and difficult point of another Vol. IL • --- - THE LAKES OF KILLARNEY ; REMINISCENCES OF DUBLIN, &C. 111.
