So many scenes and objects Of deep inter-
ests have crowded into the first week OF my
soiourn in the father-land and so much of my
time has been absorbed in the intercourse OF
friends, that shall not be able to fill my
"Omnibus" with many specimens OF obser-
walton and incident, by the Cambria. l came
from Manchester to Liverpool yesterday to
see and hear the Hutchinsons, who gave their
farewell Concert last evening IN Concert
Hall. These sweet singers have endeared
themselves to the enthusiastic affections of
the people in this country. A lovely mission
have they just ended here, and tomorrow
they bid adieu to land which has been rem

Their visit here has much improved them
without affecting their interesting simplicity.
Their performance last night was exquisitely
touching and beautiful They felt with the
audience that they were singing their last
SONGS in the father land. Persons had come
all the way from Manchester, Sheffield, Dub
lin, and other places far and near, to hear their
farewell breathed forth in music that should
linger about the heart in years to come. Ev-
cry sentiment of humanity that trillcd on
their lips, seemed to thrill the vast audience.
Especially, when any of their pieces alluded
to the blessings of peace and universal broth
erhood, or the prospect of unbroken amity
between John and Jonathan" the most rap
furious applause broke forth midway in the
strain This was also the case when, in the
uFamily Song" they came to the words, We
are all tee-totollers' When they had got as
fur as tee-to"-there was such an eXplo-
sion of graduation as | never heard. Never
was there being more the idol of tender af-
lection than the SISTER" We sat in the same
seat with two Quaker ladies who had come
all the way from Sheffield to hear the heaven
ly breathing of those lips once more, and to
lavish upon her, at parting, one more testimo
NAL of their affection. 0, Ezekiel, | wish
you could have been with us. There was just
room enough on our seat for another Ameri
can. There were Frederick Doug las, Butfum,
Henry Clapp, myself, and several others from
America, sitting together and listening to
strains which we shall long remember. AT |
ter the Concert, we went to the Hotel of the |
Hutchinsons, and spent an hour or two as
happy as any / have seen yet in the commu
Mon of friends. May Heaven, the seat and
source of true music, watch over this lovely
choir which it has given to earth, and return
them to the embrace of waiting friends on the
rockbound shores of their native land.
Next week intend to mount my staff and
take up my line of walk for the south of Eng
land. As soon as get away from this circle
of warm-hearted friends by which | am now
surrounded, hope to have more time for wri
ting. have seen many persons and things,
of which intend to say something hereafter.
Before leave Manchester, think shall be
able to put the Railways of which it is the

ted with undated interest on the railroads at

fixings" am putting into circulation both by
precept and example; inasmuch as have sew

stated the other day in the Cork Reporter, that

We find oursef entirely crowded out this
week. The Editor speaks for himself

left for the sole of our foot appears to be the 6
