PRESIDENT OF the New England ooclebvj EVERY
one here present knows the melancholy fate Of
one Of my most gallant country men-soo bold In
the pursuit OF Science! his friends. his country
men, deplored his loss; all save an afectionate
and ever hope-conhding wife, despair red Of his re-
| turn. Who, in that hour of need, came to his res
cue II any one ever doubts OF the feelings
which ought to animate and do animate John B all
and Brother Jonathan, l shall merely pronounce
the names Of Grinne and Franklin Great
cheering Gentlemen, know that need not re-
mind you OF the most glorious feat of arms that
British troops ever performed on the American
| Continent because among the most daring
and dashing in that famous fight were the
Master of Lovats killed Highlanders. But
may call to your recollection, that on those lofty
rocks, where the chivalry OF France and Britain
on that day met, may now be monument
which, looking down the mighty river that
! bears the bold mariner to the vast Atlantic com
! memOrstes, in one common epitaph, the death and
! glory OF Wolfe and Montcam Often, while en-
! wing the man who erected this monument his
I noble thought, have deemed there was an idea
nober stil-that of doing for the living what he
did for the dead-that Of uniting in some great
and common cause the fame aud name of those
two rival States which have so long contended for
European supremacy, and which still, in spite of
all the blood and treasure prodgally lavished in
their conflicts stand side by side cocQual In pow
er and renown.
But if this is the sentiment which, as an Eu-
| glshman | sincerely, warmly and cordially en-.
terrain toward France, can l. as an Engishman,
! feel 1t less warmly, less sincerely less cordially
toward the United States Of America | will
not speak of the obligations Of interest or the ties
| of blood because, between Great ritain aud the
! United States there is cause such as have just
| described, which ought to bind which mus. bind,
| them indissOlubly together-a cause more noble
than the obligations OF interest, more sacred than
| the ties of blood-the cause OF common creed,
| a language q common literature,
| mon religion.
| Often has my heart swelled at the eloquence O.
that great orator and statesman the pride and orr
| nament of Massachusetts, when in language too
| magnificent for me to attempt to initiate repeat
it, he describes the might and majesty OF the British
| Empire by saying that there is no quarter of the
world in which at some hour OF the day the roll of
the British drum may notbe heard. ut,gentlemen,
sensible as am TO the national pride which this al.
lusion inspires, deem that there is glory greater
| than that which can be painted by any alluson to
military array as physical power. The glory OF a
moral conquest, which must be shared by Bri.ains
| and Americans whenever-an the day is not far
distant the works of Maeauley and Prescott, of
Bancroft and Haam, of Ticknor and Ford, Of
James ard Cooper, of Tennyson and Longtellow,
Of Thackeray and Willis, OF Irving and Dickens,

Edward Bulwer are read and loved throughout
every corner of this immense continent; when IN
the deepest recesses of those dark forests into
trate, amid which the voice OF the singing bird
cannot at this hour be raised There shall be
heard amid gay villages and populous towns the
smiling child lispng forth his infant prayer, and

Am | not right in saying, then, that we have
cause, in common, which no other two people can

anity and civilization through the world, with the
same accent, and in the same words Cheering
Gentlemen you gave my health as representative
of Great Britain in this country; | have, there
fore thought it duty to tell you the sentiments

of England commercial greatness, " Honesty IS
the best Policy" am a diplomatist, but one who
wishes to Danish from his profession the sly whis
per and the patry intrigue, and to trust boldly to
open speech and public opinion.
Your President has very wisely expressed q
strong desire that the best relations should sub
sist between Her Majestys representative in this
country and the official authorities OF the United
States.
Gentlemen, | cannot speak too highly of the re
lations which | have hitherto had with all such
authorities With the late Secretary of State
transacted some important affairs highly res
pect his ability
highly value his friendship, and if there is any
statesman in the whole world in whose opinion
should wish to stand we'll, it is the statesman who
at this time presides over President Fillmore $
Cabinet Where is there q wiser, more honest
or a more eloquent? But gentlemen l will
frankly tell you, think it ought TO be the ambi-
ton OF q British Envoy to the United States, not
only to convince the head of the State Depart
ment of his upright intentions, but also to con
vince the heart and understanding OF the Amer

kith, kin, and clan-members of my legation let
me attach all OF you to my mission.
Let me induce you Americans, to tell the Amer.
lean who yirtuberates Great Britain-and you
Britons to tell the Englishmen or Scotchman, who
does injustice to America that alter ALL he IS but

formed any work worthy of prosperity, which did
not honor and respect their ancestors
Finally, let all pray that if any contest is for
the future to find place in our annals that 1t
shall be no other than that of which yonder
work of art pointing to a beautiful model of
steam vessel in sugar before him appropriately
reminds me- The contest of the two C.'s over

over the Atlantic Great laughterl "a contest

the great divisions Of the world within the shortest

In subsequent part OF the evening Sir Henry
Bulwer in giving the health Of the representatives
of America whom he had known abroad, spoke in
high terms of elogum OF Messrs Lawrence, Ban
croft, King lof Alabama and Cas-, stating OF the
latter that there was nowhere in the world more
honest foe OK a more excellent friend.
