be grateful TO every one who heard
him." The toast was received with
demonstrations of regard. Mr.. r. then
rising TO return thanks, said, those

ate his feelings on the change from all
that is as necessarily uncomfortable and
cherries, to the animated and social re-

appropriate manner expatiated on the
blessings we here enjoy. and which are
fostered and protected by the ablest
ministers this country ever had He
said he could never distinguish between
the interests of America and England !;
whatever was beneficial TO Liverpool
