by the Governors Island band of music, about Is
in number. The boys are from 10 to Is years of
age, and number about 20, all learning instrumental
music, together with common branches of English
education. The school has been recently estab

They marched up to the Garden to the sound OF
their own music; and were there introduced by
some OF the officers of the Institute After short
stay, they marched up to the Cattle Show, and then
down again to the Garden, where they looked
around awhile, and were then formed in line. to
listen to an excellent address by DIR Leeds Of this
city. They then, by invits,ion, sat down to cold
collation. prepared in the side saloon Of the Garden
by the Institute. The boys said it was one of the
happest days of their lives. The only thing they
could not understand was the length of Don Juan's
ears They were very curious to know II ears IL
inches long would not be just as good as ears q

was wealth and labor, and the relations between
them" He was often interrupted by applause and
cheers; especially when he came to the passage,
s. although in this country we have no titles
higher than Captain, which is given by common con.
sent to the President -" The applause was
tremendous. He spoke admirably in defence and
support OF the !aboring classes. And when he al
luded to Mr. Clay there was considerable cheering.
There was very great cheering also when he rected
these words, there is scarcely a family in this
country, that can trace back their lineage for three
generations, without running against lapstone or

On the whole, the address was well written, well
