capital TO begin life upon. did not tie them up in
napkin. No, worked and worked, till, in May
1885, began the Herald on $500 capital, and in
nearly three years, next month, by industry and
courage has sprung up to be the most widely ccu-
lated and most profitable paper in this country
The arrival of the great steamers from the ether
side begins new age in enterprise of all kinds l
must try TO improve the press here in order to keep
pace with other Improvements. For this purpose l
intend, if possible to visit England in the return voy
age of Of these magnificent creatures-n order
establish correspondents, on permanent footing, at
London, Paris, Bristol, Lverpesl, Cork, &C., in con-
nection with the Herald here. While am gone, l
will leave the Herald in good hands-severa! talented
young gentlemen, of whose powers and genius
have had ample experience.
As soon as l reach Europe, / hall write for publi-
cation in the Herald by every conveyance, describing
the impressions that may be made on me, comparing
the new with the old, and striking the balance. That
the change will give novelty 10 my columns have
no doubt. 1t will open new vein in my SOUL But
this is not ALL In a more especial manner intend
to develope to the European world the commercial
capacities of this country expose yet attempt
cd to full extent by any of those financial agents
already gone cut, by any Of the transient visitors
10 our fatherland. Such men have all special inte-
rests to put ferward-I have none-nought but the
interests Of civilization and thought.
OF my capacity to do this do not suppose any
person will doubt. 1 need only refer to the Herald,
and especially to the series of Reports on Money AT
fairs as therein contained, which have kept up by
myself alone during the last three years. These Re-
ports, know from undoubted facts, have tended to
produce much Of that interest which is taken in
commercial operations, and much of that knowledge
which is exhibited, by the London and Partisan daily
press. When place myself on these spots, and see
the position of the public mind in Europe, think
/ can concentrate my long treasured knowledge, to
a greater and higher purpose-that of aiding to
bring the two countries into more perfect luxtapo-
sition of interests feelings, venents and civhza
ton and thus contribute 10 the mere physical efforts
Of steam power. At least if cannot do much,
will dc much as | can.
Thus much today. 1 shall have a few more
last words tomorrow, and tomorrow, particularly to
my numerous fair readers whom may the ever beau
tiful and Blessed Virgin always protect. What
burst of agony tearing myself away from them will
produce but the consolation is that will be short
and that shall return with thousand freshcr feel
ings for them hereafter
Meantime intend to sell off at auction, in a day
or two, all the furniture books &c, of my private
apartments-yea, even the sofa in which have COR
ceived all those varied descriptions which have APP
peared in the Herald for the last three years-the
mahogany rocking chair which stirred up the elements
of genius in my soul-the desk on which l committed
those columns to paper-the book with great
portion Of its contents which contain all the presents
of liberal booksellers for the last two years In short
mean 10 sell off at auction all my private furniture,
reservng only all those delicate presents and few
beautiful volumes for the sake Of the fascinating CIV
ers and as q capital 10 begin affection upon, when
return in six or seven weeks, filled with thousand
new views and ten thousand fresh feelings from Es
rope.
Er1EnrAMmpsr ON BOARD THE SINUS STEAnER
Yesterday Messrs. Wadsworth & Smith, the agents
of the Sirius steamer, gave a splendid entertainment
on board of that vessel, TO the Corporation OF New
York, many of the navy and army officers, and
large party OF invited guests Probably several hum
dred were present.
The weather was uncsmmonlv disagreeable, snow
ing the greater part of the morning. otherwise the
cursioa would have been delightful. The Corpora
ton and other public Office rs were put on beard in
barges-the citizens by one Of the Brooklyn ferry
boats. A splendid collation. was served up, and
plenty of champagne and other wines changed local
tiles in no time His Honor the Mayor, Mr.. Bucha-
aan the British Consul, and several other gentlemen
gave toass and made speeches on the extraordinary
event which called them together. The crowd was
great but as such an event emily happens once in a
series of ages every body was delighted.

ceedings to-day. Why have we not general cels-
