ing. There are some points in PAines character
we like but more that we don't; and, on the
whole, we thirk we shan't go. But this is a free
country, and we think Paine did something to-
ward securing to every man in it the right to hon.
or whomsoever he thinks fit, and leave the rest
unhonored-so we are more than willing that those
who can honor him more heartily than we could
shall do so. We presume they will have some
thing ardent in the way of beverage on the occa'
sion-it would hardly be appropriate to honor
Paine's memory otherwise.

on this Why not meet at three o'clock, have
good social dinner with brief remarks and senti

let dancing and conversation proceed till ten or at
furthest eleven o'clock and then break up mex

hours? All Messrs Rationalists you are Just
about as irrational and traditionled as any OF us,
only in a different way. If you will once get up
celebration and entertainment that you can con-
scientiously recommend as in all respects reason
able and seasonable we shall have mind to attend
it, though it were given in honor OF Voltalre or
Satan himself.

the Cylinder Printing Press, came OIL last evening
at the Astor House. TWAS given, as we have al
ready stated, on the occasion Of the erection Of
one of these presses, of larger size than any
heretofore made, in the vaults of the Sun office.
This press differs from that Of The Tribune, Ia
description of which we gave some time slnce,)
in having four more small cylinders making four
more Impressions with each revolution of the
main cylinder. It's operation was exhibited to the
guests previous to their assembling at the Astor
House. 1t is capable of making 10000 impress
sons in an hour. 49,

ing the number of cylinders, the capacity OF Mr.
Hoes grand invention may be still further in
creased In successfully enlarging and elsborat
ing his original idea, he has far surpassed the et
forts of all former inventors in the printing art
and, more than any other man, assisted the Press
in multiplying itself as fast as the growing age
requires.
The dinner was got up in sumptuous style In
the large DINING saloon of the Astor. Stetson
was present, and of course nothing went wrong

of the season. Over the Presidents table was

be most gratifying to him.
AID TO THE Recommendations
the inclemency of the evening very respectable
number of our citizens met at Mercer Hall. In
consequence of some Misunderstanding concern
ing the occupation OF the room, to which another
party had a prior claim, the meeting was OF an
entirely informal character. A very considerable
degree of public spirit was, however, shown on
the part of those present. 1t was agreed, In be-
half of the Hungarian Refugees, that concertln'
stead of ball should be given. 1t was also sug'
gested that an address and petition be drawn up
by the Committee, to be presented to the citizens
of New.York, for the purpose of raising suttclen'
monies to enable Kossuth to reach this country
Col. Sanford then motiOned an adjournment until
the following Friday evening" when the preilm-
inaries are to be settled.
