NITiCKTON MIL,IIII, M.P., would image to
myself, Mr. Mayor, what would have been the feelings of •
stranger coming into this city this morning, and witnessing
this singular spertaele. I think it was possible he might
hays said, when he saw the busy mart of Liverpool suspended,
your shops shut, your active population idling in the streets,
he might have mod, "What is this fort" And when hs was
told it was to celebrate the foundation of the library, he might
have said, " What dote Liverpool want with books ? What
goes Liverpool, whose population has bean quadrupled in the
time of Mr. Brown, went with the researchas ofboarzz
dquity ? What dor. Liverpool, which is making the
of England, want with reading history! What has Lbw-
pool to do with geopmphy, whim she can learn by man

is something tom countrymen to know that they have yet
maintained the old Anglo-Saxon spirit, sad that It has some
hold upon them new in their literary pursuits. It gives ma
happiness to believe this, because the more we return to you
for the great measure of enjoyment that we have received
from you, the more we shall aid yon in promoting pease and
goodwill, in which I hope the two nations will ever continue,

England is content to receive into her literature, hat con-

by blood, by friendship, by affection, in all the interests of
life, which we shall not certainly forget, nor neither will he.

should be such men—men connected with one country, and
with another, and yet not the less true to their own
beloved land. (Cheers.) It was proved, and not long ago
either, that it was good for both °outlines that he was here

in the vvaaty spirit, and done in the very spirit in which an
enlightened benefactor should seek to beneht his country.

In the evening a soiree was given at the Concert-
hall, Lord Nelson-street, by the working rimer* at which
the following addsess was resented to Mr. Brown :
" Sir,—lt is rarely that it falls to the lot of any commu-

as that recently displayed by you in the foundation of a free
library and museum fur the use of your fellow townsmen.

thie respect, we think onnelves fortunate that the locality

imperfect, expression of our esteem and gratitude, and to
add our prayer that your life may be apar to me the good
work completed, and to enjoy an earnest of those fruits of
extended usefulness which, under the blessing of Gad, we
hope and believe it will provide."

MR. GOUGH ON TILE FAILURE OF TUE MAINE-

Temperance League, gives the following extract from a
letter written by Mr. Gough, the well-known temperance
orator in America. The letter is dated the 23rd ult. "The

Mate ; the Maine-law is a dead letter everywhere,—moro
liquor sold than I ever knew before in Maasachusetts, and in

other states it is about as bed. • • • Were it not that I
feel desirous of labouring with you again I should be in-
' dined to ask for the loan of another year to labour here. I
never bad so many and so earnest applications for labour,
end the field is truly ready—not for the sickle, but for steady
persevering tillage, but we shall loses our dear home in
July with the expectation of labouring with you, as far u
health and strength will permit, for the next three years. • •
I see that Neal Dow is to be in England ; I am glail,—yon
will all late him, he is a noble man end a faithful worker.
He can tell better than any other man the state of the Maine-
