movement, we are obliged to acknowledge
with a joyful pride in the land of our ances-
try proportionate 10 our sorrow over the land
Of our birth, that the brilliant beauty and
success of the occasion were more owing to
Great Britain than to America. Not that il
was less than usually indebted to the Amer
lean friends, but TO the English, Scottish, and
Irish ones more.
1t should also be considered, that the exer-
tions of our beloved friends, Henry G..
Wright, Frederick Douglass, James n. Buff
fun, and Garrison, instead Of being made to
awaken American sympathy for suffering and
Indignation against wrong, have been devo-
ted TO a%rousing the public mind of the three
kingdoms to its responsibility as the leader
of the world in the career of freedom and hui
mainly. for an increase of effort in the promo
ton Of those sacred principles. The %pecuni-
airy result of the eifor, was FOUR THOU
SAND FIVE HUNDRED AND TWEEN
TY FIVE DOLLARS.
1t commenced on the 22d Of December,
and continued through the first of January
IL days. The expenses amounted to $685.
"a, more than half of which was paid for
freight and duties, and the rest in adverlis-
ing, notifying, bookkeeping, gas-lighting and
warming, service, and labor of various kinds,
table coverings ornamenting the Hail, &c.
Too much cannot be said of the rare beau
~ and attractlveness of the articles received,
in testimony of devotion to our cause. First,
came Bristol and its environS, with its char
ming pictures, papeterie, Tunbridge ware,
and tapestry; next Glasgow, with lis vAlua-
BILE Scottish manufactured goods and eyduis-
itely fdncied articles of dress and orna.ient.
Edinburgh followed. with its thousand yari-
cites of knitted, melted, woven. and embroi-
dered work, and its beautiful books of flow
erS-memOrlalS at once of historic interest
and botanic skill. Cork did not fall behind,
with its magnificent tapestries, and its sea
plants, every book of which brought EI to
the treasury of Freedom. Dublin, with its
literary curiosities, unparalleled writing una
teridls, rare engraviugs, wrought cambria,
and splendid embroidery, laid US under even
more than the accustomed OF obligations to re-
newed devOtednesS, by the fine choice of its
most acceptable gifts. Perth, with its beau
tiful Infants hoods and dresses Belfast,
with its eyquisiteIy neat and valuable varie-
ty Carlisle. with its shawls, biscuits, old
oak-work and fancy-work; Bridgewater, with
its seven boxes, its dolls cabinet work, and
well chosen variety; Kirkclldy, with its
welcome donation OF money, hastily collect
ed for want of sine to appear in any other
shape; Sheffield, with its cutlery /; Manches-

tributed most literally 10 the success of the
Bazaar.
