Last Evening.

De exhibited al public meeting of the Historical
society, and that the President, the venerable Mr.
Gallatln, and Daniel Webster. would offer some re-
marks on II, attracted an immense audience IN the
Chapel of the University last evening. great
number of the terati OF our city present. The
galleries were filled by ladies, many of them very
beautiful, and all distinguished by that literary
taste which is so characteristic of the ladies of New
York. The Chapel was completely filled, aises
and all. Ample accommodation was, however,
made for reporter by the polite librarian of the
Society.
At eight o'clock, Mr.. Galatn and the Hon. Dan
lei Webster entered the Chapel and were received
with deaening applause. The "Jay Map'-a large
map of North America, was suspended above the
Chair. Mr.. Galatn then commenced reading a
long and elaborate dissertation on the boundary
question, in the course of which he gave the hsto-
ry of the Gay Map" and described il with great mi
nuteness and clearness. II seems that tins map was
one OF those laid before the Commissioners who
drew up the treaty of Paris in 1888, and on it the
disputed boundary is represented by red line mark
ed "Mr. Oswold's line,' in the handwriting of Mr.
Jay.
Mr.. Galatians dissertation occupied about two
hours in the delivery, and was listened to with the
most patient and marked attention. After Mr.. Gal
latin had concluded, Mr.. VIM. H. Lawrence made
remarks the value and Importance of the
map, and concluded by expressing the request of
the members OF the society that Mr.. Webster would
honor the meeting by some remarks. Mr. Web
ster responded to this CALL and delivered speech
OF great interest and importance, in which he re.
viewed the whole subject of the negotiations which
terminated in the Washington treaty, and pointed
out the differences to which the newly discovered
map led, and the additional light which it shed on
the questions connected with the controversy set
tied by the treaty.
Mr. Webster's speech was received with the great
est applause. We shall give it verbatim Il morow,
the late hour at which the meeting of the society
terminated, rendering impossible for our reporter
TO write out his short hand notes in time for this
days paper. The speech is, in many respects, i'm
portant and will be read with the greatest interest
Alderman Benedict, one of the members of the
society, proposed vote of thanks to Mr. Gallatn
and Mr.. Webster, with the request of the society
that those gentlemen would furnish copies of their
addresses. The greater part of Mr.. Galatians ad
dress was read from printed copy and is already in
course of publication by the society. We shall
have great pleasure In furnishing the society with our
copy of Mr.. Webster's speech, an act of kindness
which the Hon. gentleman himself could not per-
form, as he spoke without notes and without previ
ous preparation. Look out, then, for to-morrow's
