THE BON. REVERDY JOHNSON IN LEEDS.

Yesterday the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the new
Minister for the United States' Government, who
has recently arrived in this country, visited the
metropolis of the West Riding. He had been stay-
ing with Lord Houghton, at Fryston-hall, and
Lord and Lady Houghton, Sir A. Monck, and
other distinguished persons, accompanied his Ex-
cellency from Fryston-hall to Leeds. They reached
that town about one o'clock, and were met at the
Wellington Station by Sir Andrew and Lady Fair-
bairn (the Mayor and Mayoress.) Twenty-two
gentlemen of the Council of the Leeds Chamber of
Commerce were also present to welcome the illus-
trious American. The Mayor conveyed him in his
carriage to the Town-hall, where the Town Council
were assembled. Having been introduced to the
corporate body and cordially welcomed by them,
the Mayor presented the following address :

"To lIIS EXCELLENCY THE LION. REVERDY JOHNSON,
ENVOY EXTRAORDINARY AND MINISTER PLENIPOTEN-
TIARY FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE
COURT OF ST. JAMES'S.

"May it please your Excellency,—We, the Mayor, Al-
dermen, and burgesses of the borough of Leeds, in the
county of York, desire to present to you our sincere and
hearty congratulations on your arrival i❑ this country as
the representative of a nation so closely allied to us as the
United States, to bid you welcome to this ancient
borough.

"We, along with the rest of the nation, heard of your
appointment as successor to Mr. Adams with the greatest
satisfaction, because we believe it will tend greatly to
strengthen the bonds of peace and goodwill which ought
always to exist between this country and yours. We hope
that the results of your mission here may bo such as will
be productive of happiness to yourself, satisfaction to the
great empire you represent, and promote the national pros_
polity of the two kindred races of the United States and
Great Britain."

ths EXCELLENCY replied as follows :--Mr. May or

and Gentlemen,—The commission conferred upon
I me by my Government will be productive to myself,
I have no doubt, of that happiness which so far has
attended it. From the ►noment I landed upon your
shores up to the present time the greatest possible
kindness has been extended to me, very much to ►ey
delight and gratification. My country will conside►
it an earnest of the friendly feelings you have for
them that all her Majesty's subjects, I am glad not
only to believe, but to know, entertain towards
me so gracious a feeling. (Applause.) We are,
in fact, but one people. (Hear, hear.) Oar dis-
positions are the same, our political institutions
are substantially the same, our religion is the same,
and, above all, as the means by which the others
are bound together, our language is the same.
(Hear, hear.) That language wherever spoken,
whether spoken by an Englishman to an American,
or by an American to an Englishman, creates at
once feelings of brotherhood ; and, speaking from
personal experience, from the moment I put my
foot on your shores—not now for the first time--I
felt that, although iu one sense I was in a foreign
land, I was not a stranger. The shake of the hand
reminds me of home ; the kindness with which I
am met reminds me of home ; the personal simi-
larity I see around me reminds me of home ; and,
above all, - your feelings and sentiments of
political liberty, which lie so deeply and so firmly
as the foundation upon which your Govern-
, ment rests, remind me of home. (Applause.)
And I shall ever rejoice that the Government
of my own country has conferred upon me the op-
portunity of becoming more acuaiuted with the
people of England than I Could hive hoped to be if
circumstances had been otherwise. There are but
few differences existing now between us ; few in
my judgment, and unimportant—unimportant, be-
cause they can be amicably adjusted—unimportant,
because that amicable adjustment may be accom-
plished without tarnishing in the slightest degree
the honour of either nation. It would be to me
and to my Government a matter of the deepest re-
gret if in the settlement which we are about, i hope,
soon to make another Government should suffer
in its own opinion, or in that of the world at large.
My Government will do nothing to detract from
its own reputation, I know ; but I know also,
and with as much certainty, that your Govern-
ment will do nothing which can in the slightest
degree tarnish its reputation. Gentlemen, all
I can do, in conclusion, is to thank you col-
lectively and individually for this mark of your
respect, and to assure you that in my negociations
with your Government it will be my earnest de:•ire
—and I have every reason to believe that desire
will be fulfilled --not only to maintain, but to
strengthen, the friendly relations which have so long
happily existed between the two nations. With my
best thanks to you, Mr. Mayor, and to all present,
I for a time bid you adieu.
Three cheers for the United States were called
for by the Mayor and given heartily, after which
his Excellency- was conducted over the Town-
hall and to the Fine Arts Exhibition, where the
Executive Committee presented him with an ad-
dress.

In reply to the address Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON
said—Ever since I have been in Leeds the few hours
only of that day have been full of interest to me
personally, and will also be full of interest to my
countrymen when they shall hear of the proceed-
ings of this day. (Cheers.) It will satisfy them of
what I am already satisfied of, and have been from
the moment of my landing on your shores, that the
peace between England and the United States will
endure for ever. (Applause.) War, as far as we
are connected, in the judgment of all reflecting men,
and I am satisfied it would in your own judgment
—war between our Governments would be but a
repetition of the civil war which has desolated our
own land, for we are in fact one people, descended
from a common ancestry, of which all are equally
proud, and destined to accomplish the like purpose
for the good and happiness of men by extending
freedom throughout the world—(applause)—and
if in the chances of time you should be involved in
peril—if peril you can be involved in—it will be our
duty, as I am sure it will be our pleasure, to stand
shoulder to shoulder and resist the shock. Mr. Mayor
and gentlemen, you tell me that I have been here so
short a time that I am not able properly to appre-
ciate the magnitude of your Exhibition. I have
not been so long as I could wish, and, if I am to
decide it, this is not the last visit which I may have
the honour to make to your town—(applause)--but
I have seen enough to convince me that you are
lovers of the arts—the arts the result of peace—the
arts which do not involve the sacrifice of human life,
but the correction of the human taste and the human-
ising of the human heart, and the spread, above all,
of a Christian and healing resignation—(hear, hear)
—and I have seen enough also to be convinced that
in the manufacture of everything which contributes
to the wants or elegancies of man your town is
not behind any in the civilised world; and may you
continue to prosper, may you push that prosperity
even further by and bye than the extent to which
it has already gone, and stand forth to the world
as a community devoted to the arts of peace, be•
cause such is the duty of Christians, and, abhorring
war, because to abhor it is also the duty of Chris-
tians—(cheers)—and neither of us require war with
each other, or with any other nation, to establish
our martial character. (Hear, hear.) Upon the
ocean and upon the land we have each at times
illustrated our capacity for war, as well as we have
illustrated the love which we entertain for peace ;
and in the last campaign in which you have been en-
gaged, a campaign upon which you were urged by
the obligation to protect your citizens, and rescue
them from captivity, thus discharging the duty
which every Government owes to its own citizens,
you have proved again that in the arts of war, in-
deed, of glory on the field, in the skill of your gene-
rals, and in the bravery of your officers and men,
you are not behind any nation in the world.
(Cheers.) And the fame of the leader in the war
to which I allude is as well known and as much
cherished by us as he is by you. The name of
Napier will be received as a " household word"
in the United States, as it has already become a
" household word" in England. (Applause.) It was
a war conducted successfully, eminently successful;
but by the observance at the same time of all the
obligations of an enlightened humanity, the Gene-
ral ravaging nothing that he could save, desolating
nothing that he could protect, but, on the contrary,
paying for everything as he wanted it, and treating
with the clemency which humanity dictated all who
fell into his power, and at the same time, and by
these means, raising to a higher pitch, if that be
possible, the reputation of England for the huma-
nity of her soldiers. (Cheers.)

After a very graceful compliment to the ladies,
cheers were given for the United States, Mr. John-
son, and Mrs. Johnson, who was not present.

To THE DIGGINGS.—The Natal Mercury adver-
tises a "waggon train to the Victoria goldfields," to start
from Durban as soon as there is sufficient grass for the
cattle, probably about the 28th of September. The charge
for each passenger "right through" is ..£3O, which includes
provisions. Each passenger is to be allowed luggage not
exceeding 100 lb., exclusive of his gun and 51b of powder.'
Arrangements are made for accommodating 100 men, to bo
divided into messes of 10 each, awl as soon as 50 have
taken places the contractor will engage a medical man to
join the party. It is supposed that this train will be the
first party from Natal to reach the diggings.

I ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Colds, Coughs Shortness of Breath.—These corrective
are infAllible for these pert oral complaints,which,
neglected. often end iu asthma, bronchitis, or consump-
tion. The ointment well rubbed on the chest and back,
penetrating the skin, is carried directly to tho lungs,
whence it expels all impurities. All the blood in the body
constantly passes through the lungs, and there all noxious
particles tending to produce disease can be quickly, tho-
roughly, and permanently neutralisA, rendered harmless,
or ejected fr ,m the system. In influenza and all chest
complaints early curative measures are imperiously de-
manded—one day's delay may cause a protracted illness,
one week's neglect may consign the diseased to destruc-
tion.
