The Eagle Conat any held a policy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion Company as security for an advance, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected 'the fact of the assured party havin4 lteen a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence turned upon the question as to the degree 'of intemperance that had been exhibittd, and the result was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the itetten. being brought by one office against another presents a striking illusdration of the uncertainty which may attach to all. po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absoltrte security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices .of the plauof protecting there selves in eve ry case by due inquiries before the grantint f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility oi the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a 'claim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare: themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously inj are thee - progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the `first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

Call me not rude, my literary brother: One poet, surely, may address another. We both may claim the self-same license—mayn't we? And both are on an equal footing—aint we ? You're made the Laureate— so the papers tell us— And re ally, Alf, I can't help feeling jealous. It plagues me much, in fact, and I have fretted Since first your said promotion was gazetted. For this appointment I've been long a craver, Although I know that "kissing goes by favour." But you're " appointed," I am " disappointed," And feel my nasal organ quite unjointed. Yet never mind—no matter who opposes, Or who supports—l'm still the bard of MOSES; Yes, I'm the trading Laureate of the day, And, pardon me, that's more than you can say. While you are busy with your birth-day odes, sing of dress and MOSES' matchless modes. I still will praise the cloth of M. and SON, In spite ofyour " Green Bays"—excuse the pun. I feel I'm honoured when I strike the lyre • For MOSES' Mart, and its superb attire ; Nor would I cease to be the bard of MOSES Forall your task of penning palace posies. But should I get the sack, as some scribes do, MOSES, I hope, will give the berth to you. - The NEW EDITION of "EVERYBODY'S BOOK," containing a full Report of the late important Trial, may be had gratis on ap plication, pr by , letter, post free.

(From the Chronicle.) 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, yet the Music-hall was perceptibly fuller tonight. 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. do abut would have imagined, howeveie that any inconvenience was felt by them, as they listened with the most fixed attention, moved only by frequent bursts of up 'lease through the two-anti-a-half hours that this lec ture lasted, as well as during the remaining halt' hour that was taken up in passing a vote of thauks to his Lordship. Notwithstanding this, the defect ot the town in not having a hall fit to accommodate such en audience as was brought together has been the subject of gene ral conversation. It seems probable that Leeds 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 nearly the same as last 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 soon 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 travels, I thought I could make no better use of this involuntary leisure than by acquiring 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 breudth 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, and 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 fund 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 impartial critic. Now. however, that above eight years have elapsed since my return, in turning over the pages then written, it has seemed to me allowable to endeavour, for a purpose like the present, to convey a few of the leading impressions which I derived from the surface of nature and society as they exhibited themselves in the new world. It must follow necessarily, from such limits as could bo 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 for 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 terical 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 prescrib , d to my self, and to treat them as -pacific property, so loog as I say nothing to their dis advantage. It was on the 21st ot October, upon a bright crisp morning, that the Columbia, steam-packet, upon which I was a passenger, turned the lighthouse outside he 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 wablishment. [Lord Carlisle here described his ar rival at Boston, and his first impressions of that city.] these are a 'me of my external recollections of Boston; but there are souse fonder still, of the most refined anti animated social intercourse—of hospitalities which it se emed impossible to exhaust—of friendships which trust can never be effaced. Boston appears to me, eer minty on the whole, the American town in which an Englishman of cultivated and literary tastes or philaa hrupie pursuits, would feel himself most at home. The residence here was rendered peculiarly agreeable to me by a friendship with one of its inhabitants, which I had previously made in England; he hardly yet Comes within my rule of exception, but 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 menti on some o f those with whom, mainly through his introduction, I here became ac quainted. There was one Mr. Justice Storey, whose reputation and authority as a commentator and ex pounder of law stands high wherever law is linown or honoured, and who was, what at least is more generally attractive, one of the most generous and single-hearted of men. He was an enthusiastic admirer of his country, especially of its lawyers; how be 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 he 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, for he talked evidently not to bear down others, but because be 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 ease. These, alas! have since my visit been taken away. In the more immediate department of letters there are 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 - satisfaction 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. I am 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 uncaudid if I did not state that the universality of the instruction, and the excellence 1 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 dtppearence. of. the 'waiters. f• The Americans beat us ihollow in waiters,' was my 1 - -itinOrlthought- On inquiring. I found that of the twenty-'' , fistomiters in the house,.four w e re t .ringlish And twenty erielrishe , Tcould not help wishing that a large number. of the Irish might come and be waiters fora Within three or four days of my landing I grew impa- I tient to see the Falls of Niagara without lots of time; if any sudden event should have summoned me home, I felt how much I should have grudged crossing 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, bad entirely disappeared. [The speaker here recounted his travels by railway to Albany, adding a brief notice of that town, and quoted the following paseage from his diary, con taining his first impression of the forest towns:—] n The moment is not come for me yet, 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 sociation ; I know that I am E ng li s h, no t i n a pig headed adesion 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 for his own high glory," I am bound 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. [ - Lord Carlisle here alluded to some other places through which he passed prior to 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 looked upon it in the late autumn, in the early spring, slid in The' fall — summer. Mrs. Butler, in her charming work on America, when she comes to Niagara, says only, " Who can describe that sight?" 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 vpectacle, 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 satis fied 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 and panoramas had given me a correct appre hension 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, of the continuous mass of white, and the line of the summit of the Fall is as smooth and even as a common mill-dam. 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 more spoiled than it can be improved. You would, when 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 constant solemn roar, has in 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 exigence there has a dreamy but not a frivolous impulse; you feel that you are not in the common world, but in its sublimest 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 h a d set tled where I ound him fifty years before, when he had not a white neighbour within thirty miles, or a flour mill within fifty ; he lived entirely surrounded by Indians, who have now disappeared. On 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, "Wo 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 valley of the Gen nessee. My other visit was to Mr. Van Buren, who had been the last President of the United States, and who, I suspect, shrewdly reckoned on being the next. It seemed, indeed, at that time, to be the general expecta• Lion 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 Kinderback; 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 bis 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 quay; long perspectives of vessels and masts, bustling streets, gay shops, tall white houses, and a clear brilliant sky overhead. There is an 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 tha long thoroughfare of Broadway, extending some miles, Pushes its green fringe into the wide harbour of New York, with its glancing seat :rs and graceful shipping, and the limber, long raking masts, which look so dif ferent from our own, and the soft swelling outline of ill() receding shore:, 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 , iutde the other. Keeping to my rule of only men tioning names which already belong to fame, I may thus distieguish the late Chancellor Kent, whose com meetaries 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 non 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: Mr. 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 aro very nume rous and well filled. It is my wish to touch very lightly upon any point which among us, 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 satisfy all 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 have 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 bas not yet solved. As matters stand at present, indifference to religion cannot be fairly laid to her charge; probably religious extremes are 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 sometther objects in Philadelphia which attracted his notice; amongst others the waterworks, the model prison, and the costly poorhouse.) My next brief pause was tat Baltimore. At a halt on the road on the way thither, I heard a conductor or guard say to a negro, " I cann o t 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 niyielf keine little vent. 'lv was A subject. which I r f e lt during Iny whole .sojourn: Jin i Amr T io, tisj feel : it still, to bo_paramount in interest49.,overy other.. j was one on .which I intended uncl,,,guae,ayoured to 07 ; servo a sound di scre tion ; We hayejnot ;ourselves !Ong, enough_ washed off the stain to albo right to rail' at:these whom we had originally inoculated with the pest ; • ha aid - itratgeitibinidieilfeipe fienein g spi tality could not with any propriety interfere wantonly upon the most delicAte and diftletat point of another nation's policy. I could not, however, fail often and deeply to feel, in the progress of my intercourse with many in that country, 'come not my cool into their secret—to their counsel, my honour, besot thou united." .At the 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 wno had la 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 would talk 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 (to use a current phrase) their very existence, must have been sensibly checked. It may be easy to speak discreetly and plausibly about the paramount duty of not contravening the law; but how would you feel, my countrymen, if 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, and, 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 action 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 in 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 pry it a compliment, bat did not know very well what attribute to select, so he, termed it a " city of magnificent distances ;" and there it ex tends, or rather sprawls; it looks as if it had mined houses at random, or like half a dcz;n indifferent villages scattered over a goose common. Here and there, as if to heighten the contrast with the mean ness of the rest, there are some very handsome public buildings; and the American Capitol, the meeting-place of the I. , gislature and the seat of empire, though not exempt from architectural defects, toaers 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 pace 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, spleehy, dreary avenues. I saw it, too, in the /mime of its season, during the sitting of Congress. When it is not sitting the mem bers of the Legislature and officers of the Government cis pose themselves over the breadth of the Union, and leeee the ca vital to the clerks of the public offices, and (noes it not seem profanation to say it?) the slaves, who are still permitted 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 sieve trade has been abolished in the district of Columbia, the small portion of territory imme diately annexed to Washington. When they are here, the members of Congress are mostly packed tegether in large and very inferior 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 scat 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 check any designs for the external improvement and development of 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 retain 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 chamber 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 new, but they are faultless 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 ho use was aways given to me, and I was at liberty to remain there during the whole of the debate, or write my letters as I chose. The palpa ble di- tinction between-them and our House of Commons I should s-ey to be this we are more noisy, and they tire more disorderly. They do not cheer, they do not c ;ugh, but constantly several are speaking at a time, and they evince a contemptuous disregard for the deoi kolas of their Speaker. They have co 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 bear 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 weh slavery, gave tee chief colour and animation to the ditca.sions in the House of Representatives. Old Mr. Athens, the ex-President of the United States, occu pied, without doubt, the most prominent pesition; he presented a very striking rppearance, standing up erect at the age of 75, having Utica filled the highest post at tainuble by an American citizen, with trembling Lands and eager eyes, in defence of the right of petition—the right to petition against the continuance 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 was 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 tern more disorderly than all the rest. He put one in mind of 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; bat then it is fair to mention that the actual sittings hardly last above, three hours a day—about four dinner is ready, and they go 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; soeii may be judged which house bad most attraction for the passing traveller. I heard Mr. Clay in the 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 man, 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 perhaps you ever remarked. For many, if not for all reasons, lam well content that he should be again at the head of the American Cabinet, fur I feel sure that while he is ever intensely American, he has an en liehtenee love of peace, and a cordial sympathy with the fortunes and glories of the old, as well as the new Auglo-Saxon stock. The late Mr. Calhoun, who pn . • pressed most of those who were thrown his way with a high his opinion of his ability, honesty, and I may add, his impracticability, I had not the good fortune to to the maintenance of known that his attachment him td h ea r in public or meet in private society.
