Washington, was tho Dinner at Barnard'., o

Washington, was tho Dinner at Barnard's, oil
we look to tho report of tho speeches made on the
Jay with much expectation.
1.-The Dinner at Barnard's Hotel was 5y FAR the
"'oSt interesting part of tho Celebration of the
anniversary of the Birth of Washington. The
ohiy subject of regret the part of those who
"c'e present, was, that II not earlier thought
OIL or more generally known of a subscription
was opened for it only on Monday, and then by a
"" hcmbcrs OF Congress, not very familiar with
THO way OF getting Dinner in this city, or they
w'uiu nave taken more pains TO attract the public
attention. AS II was, however, thSrc were present
a' 'he Dinner about hundred citizens OF differ
cht parts OF the Union, chiefly members of Con-
S'cSs' DANIEL Webster, of Massac husetts, was
scicctcd TO preside at tho feast, and Charles Fen
ION Mercer of Virginia, Walter Jones of the Dis
'rle' OIL Columbia, and Joseph Vance of Ohio, to
act as Wee Presidents.
Inc Dinner and Wines however excellent were
out small part of the entertainment, which was, in
every sense Of the phrase, "thc feast Of reason
and the flow of soul"
The Ioasts, regular as well as volunteer were
admirably adapted to the occasion. But still moro
inspiring were the strains Of eloqusncc, which, in
regard to NEST of them, accompanied their an
nounccment. The following &c ntlcmou addressed
inc Company, ali briefly with one exception; but all
e'oquently, viz: Mr.. Webster, Gen. Mere ar, Gen.
Jones, Governor Barbour of Virginia, "a guest, }
w W.T. Huntington of Connecticut, Mr.. Newton Of
rrg'nia, Mr. Holmes of Maine, AIR. Storer of
Ohio, MIR. Sprague of Maine, Mr.. Peudlcton of
New ork, Mr. Robbins of Rhode Island, Mr.. Coke
oil tins District, Mr.. Crane of Ohio, and one or
TWO o'hers. The exception referred to above
was IN the case OF the President of tho Day. who
preaced the first toast lin honor of the Day. by an
Address OF perhaps an hour in length in which he
excolled even himself. Tho address was heard
with the most profound and unclaimed attention
