William Writ Soclefy.--We were
not aware Of the existence OF this asso-
citation until we received polite iuyi-
tatlon TO attend their meeting on We'd
nesday evening last. We attended
accordingly, and were pleased to find a
large asscmblage Of ladies and gentle
men, but were surprised and delighted
at the eulOgy on Mr.. WRIT, delivered
by young gentlemen by the name Of
George ~. MerscOOd. Parts Of il were
exceedingly beautiful and impressive,
and as a whole II did the author great
credit. He possesses fine magma
ton, Poetical fancy, and sound judg-
ment. His eulogy was decorated and
adorned by Al posiie quotations from
the poets, beautiful figures, and power
ful illustrations. During its delivery
Mr.. Sherwood was frequently interrupt
ed by the plaudits Of the audience.
and at the peroraiion, which we thought
remarkably felicitous, the applause Was
loud and PrOtracted.
At the conclusion Of the Eulogy,
there was . general call for Joka p.
Kennedy, Esq. "a visitor who graii6ed
the audience with an extemporaneous
address worthy the talents Of this dis
tinguished gentleman. lie touched
slightly, but feelingly. on the character
of Mr.. Wir-sPoke in terms Of high
appreciation Of the Eulogy which had
just been deliyered-commended the
objects Of the Society, and enjOined on
the members that diligence and intense
application which characterized the life
Of the distinguished citizen whose
name they had sdopied.-BaA. Clroa.
