the interest she excites is deep and manifest-an
uncommon thing amongst an Italian audience,
where applause is withheld from many who have
gained reputation even in Berlin and London. But

you Of the high state of perfection to which the
manufacture of ewelry, and especially silver orna-
ments is carried here; of the beauty, elegance,
and cheapness of embroidery, to please the ladies'
of the galleries of ancient paintings-the beautiful
public squares-the elegance Of gardens-the great
perfection with which flowers are cultivated, espe-
cially the japonica; Of the long white wells of mus
lin, worn by the ladies, which cover the head and
shoulders, and are almost elegant in appearance
when thrown back; and of the beauty Of the dark
eyed Genoese, who wear these wells, ana wit q

The Dinner to the Most Rev. Or. Hughes,
the Catholic Archbishop or New York.
On Tuesday evening the 10th inst, as before
mentioned in the Nae York Herald, splendid BAN
quet was given at the Adelphi Hotel, to his Grace
the Archbishop of New York, who has been making
a tour through this country and the continent of
Europe, and who was to re-embark for America on
the following morning. The dinner was served up
with all the profusion and elegance for which Mr..
Radley is so distinguished. About 10 gentleman
sat down.
Mr.. AsrIywALL concluded by proposing the
health of his Grace the Archbishop Of New York.
The toast was drunk with all the honors, amid
the most rapturous applause.
His Grace the ARCHBISHOP, on rising, was re-
ceived with renewed applause. He said Mr..
Chairman and Gentlemen-I feel too much OPP
pressed with the honor which you have done me, to
be able to find utterance TO the sentiments to
which my heart is moved on this occasion. l con-
slider it q peculiar good forum, in this visit to
Europe that, the first night landed on European

the Catholic Club of Liverpool; and it is happy
termination of my pilgrimage in Europe that the
last night of my stay is spent as this evening is
about to pass (Applause.) Since then, as the
Chairman has we'll remarked, it has been my duty
to preach, or, al least, attempt to preach, in diff
ferent places; and it is quite true that might have
travelled through all the countries of the GLOBE from
the rising to the setting of the sum- and wherever
the language which it is mine to speak is under
stood, should have found those who would have
needed no introduction from the moment that first
had spoken to them the truths of the one holy Ca
tholic faith: loud applause.) That faith is not

loud applause.) 1t is like the light of heaven, in
itself colorless; and notwithstanding this identity
notwithstanding that it is like the atmosphere
which is the medium of light, untainted in ITSELF it
comes and identifies ITSELF reproduces itself in the
heart (hear)-without disturbing national charac-
ter, without overseeing individual temperament
(Applause.) For every one-every preacher is
somewhat distinct and different in his manner from
another; and 1t seems as II the one faith would take
the color OF the speaker, the medium through which
ii is passed to the audience-but then you behold
phenomenon in that beautiful art which are
seeking so much to revive. 1t is analogous to an
old window of stained glass. We see every little
piece gives color to that light which coloress out
sde and although il is beautiful to gaze upon for its
variety and combination, yet after all, the audience
inside find it so blended that the colors display the
hving-leaving the unity of the faith, notwith-
standing the preacher by whom it is CON-
municated to them-as it is, and as it came
from God. Cloud applause.) 1t is unnecessary,
and perhaps 1T would not be becoming in me, to
follow out any contrast in regard to this; but
thing know, with regard to those who are separa-
ted from the unity Of the Catholic faith, and it is
that in order to ascertain differences, need not
travel at all. Laughter) Everywhere, sects one

has alluded to circumstances connected with my
European and Irish origin. He has made use of
those circumstances for purpose which it is well
betting for an Englishman to do for, to tell the
truth, the old axiom which has had credit amongst
Europeans, holds goodyth in unity there is
strength. ] conceive that every man who loves the
strength Of the British Empire must deplore the

He has alluded to Ireland; and might, from that
