rose at last TO reply to the compliment pad 20 his
father lie Isl young man Of about 81, and bears
E strong resemblance to the early portraits OF sui

the evening, he would not detain them with a dis
play OF petty fireworks. But he deeply felt the
honor paid TO bis father. The appreciation shown
to English authors in this country was returned
b. the estimation in which American authors are
b,ld in his native country. This mutual feeling
suanued the Ocean like a rainbow, the emblem OF
friendship and peace. This evening had proved
to him that, though bookbnder may bind the
works OF an author, he cannot bind up the great
community of his friends. Mr. Lytton was loudly
cheered throughout his speech, and generally con-
graduated at the close. =,
