LONDON:
FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 16, 1842.

-
The friendly reception of Lord ASHBURTON by
the Mayor and citizens of Boston, will sink deep
into the hearts of the people of England. No
matter what may be their political opinions,
whether they are ultra-Tories or Chartists, they
will not the leis participate in the Christian joy
expressed by the citizens of Boston that Old
England and her blooming daughter, North
America, still regard each other with the affec-
tion suitable to such near relations. It was well
and truly observed by the Mayor of Boston that
whatever there is glorious in our history must
redound to the honour of the United States.
These States can therefore achieve no glory in a
conflict with England ; and it truly delights Us
to find that such a conviction appears to be gene-
ral among our Transatlantic neighbours. Never
was there delivered a more truly noble welcome
than that of the Mayor of Boston to Lord Asn-
BURTON. "We welcome you, Sir, as the repre-
sentative of your country, and not yours only,
but in a near sense our own; for so long as there
is a tie to link a child to its parent, America will
not forget that England is her mother. We
partake in the honourable pride which must
thrill through your bosom at the recol-
lection of her glorious history." No words could
be spoken of a kindlier import than these. No
words could be sp&cen better calculated to pre-
pare the public mind on both sides of the ttlan-
tic for entire oblivion with respect to past diffe-
rences. And truly the Mayor of Boston is quite
right. The English and the Americans are the
same people•—they are identical in language, in
manners, in historical and literary recollections
and, to a greater degree than either of them ima-
gine, in tastes, in feelings, and in social gym.
Ratifies. We grant we differ upon many points,
but not upon more than are customary in the
case of parents and children. Thus, the old are
generally Tories, while the young are, for the
most part, downright Radicals. No young man
of strong feelings, and really distinguished
talents, ever was a Tory, and yet the invariable
bias of old men is in that, direction. Now, it is
upon this principle that we account for much
of the ultra-Republicanism of the United
States. There political institutions are in
their infancy; and ultra-Republican
hence the ultra-ftept
zeal manifested in their preservation. Thus
there is really after all no difference between us
which should beget iii feeling on either. side.
Then let it be remembered that the more friendly
the relations between us, the stronger is the
guarantee for the peace, prosperity, and happi-
ness of the whole world. We can hope to gain
nothing, and may reasonably expect to lose
everything, by war. Most sincerely therefore
do sve trust that the amicable sentiments ex-
pressed by the Mayor of Boston will find au
echo in every bosom in the British empire. For
ourselves, we respond to them with all our heart;
and we trust that the citizens of London, Edi„.
burgh, and Dublin will testify their sense of the
noble address of the Mayor 'of Boston by
bestowing upon him the freedom of the capitals
of Queen VICTORIA'S dominions.

The Town Council.Of Edinburgh is not the only
one that has incurred ridicule'by the vapid move-
ments of her INIA.JEsTriti Scotland. It appears,
from one account we have seen, that on arriving
at the ancient and venerable burgh of Stirling,
the Royal train was proceeding at such a rail-
road speed, that the Magistrates, with the High
Constable and the Guildry, would have been
passed without notice but for her MAJESTY catch-
ing a glance of their official robes and calling out
to the drivers to stop. At Linlithgow the most lu-
dicrous scene of all took place. The Magistrates
and Council were waiting at the western entrance
to present an-address to her MAJESTY, and also to
confer the iCeedom
.of the Royal Burgh on
Prince ALBERT, but the carriages were driven at
such a rate that they passed the civic bods;.iothe
thirty yards before her MAJFSTY observed them.
