! Lord Ellesmere attended the annual school ex
hibition in Boston on Tuesday, and in the after
noon, at Faneuil Hall, delivered his first speecl
in America. The Mayor preceded him in bre
address welcoming him to the city, and acknow
Lodging the Indebtedness of this country to Eng
land. "To her, y said he, ''we owe some Of GU
most cherished and most glorious institutions; ant
we shall never forget the debt until that tm'
comes when forget every thing that has made
us happy and prosperous people"
Lord ELLEsMERE rose to respond, and was greet
ed with long continued applause. He spoke al
follows

wasted or misused the short time which my en-

to this country. [ have accumulated and shall
carry away with me store of recolections, but

of natural beauty, or evidences of human pro-

cason at which now assist. / have, indeed, one
regret in the absence of certain companions of my
journey, from whom for few hours only | am
to-day separated. When, gentlemen, resolved,
at the bidding of my sovereign, to undertake this
journey, l did, what recommend every American
gentleman who visits my country to do, l took the
precaution to take my wife and daughters with
me. | had heard that, in virtue of the social
usages of these States, character which in the
pages of q popular periodical of my country has
drawn tears, though not of grief from many read
ers, that of an unprotected female was absolutely
unknown in America. | felt that if |, us was too
probable, should be incapacitated by in6rmity
from prosecuting my own researches, l could send
such female emissaries even to the further west, il
need were, to observe and to report. the more
regret on this special occasion the absence of one
lwhose time, may say whose life, in her country
residence at home, is INCREASINGLY devoted to the
task of popular education. Lady Ellesmere, like
myself, would have been pleased to see in the
attendance here so many fair and living proofs OF
the interest which her sex takes in that sub
lject A poet Of my country has said that Para
disc itself was but poor abode till made perfect
by the presence of woman
sssThe world was sad, the garden was Wild
And man, the hermit, sighed till woman smiled.
81 know not how this may have BEEN, but of
this am certain, that when and where woman
abstains from, or is excluded from, large share
in the education of the youth of a community,
education will bear bad fruit and cease to be
thy of the name.
81 have heard since came into this room from
the Mayor that formerly this time-honored cere-
mony was more restricted than now-that it end
ed at least in banquet at which gentlemen only
assisted. | congratulate you on the change Of
practice, of which | see the evidence. hear
with pleasure, also, from the Mayor that the
growing facilities of intercourse between our two
countries are daily attracting more and more of
your citizens as visitors to my own. | am, then,
probably addressing many who have made that not
difficult, and hope pleasant, experiment If SO,
am wrong in supposmg that you have visited
with something of filial interest the haunts of
your ancestors, near or remote-that, in contenl-
plating the relics of antiquity there preserved,
you have experienced something of the respectful
interest with which the younger members of no
BILE house may be supposed to contemplate the
gray hairs and seemly wrinkles of father of the
race. do not mean legacy hunters or needy rec
latives, gathering round to watch the symptoms
of decay, counting favor, and eager to screw down
the coffin and open the will; but in the pride of
their own asserted independence, and of affiucnce
won by their own industry. If may suppose
such to be the character of an American visitor to
England, may not claim to myself something of
patriarchal pride and Joy, as from the decks OF
your gorgeous steamers, of the windows of your
cars, | obtain but too rapid glimpse of the evil
dences of your prosperity, and of the hourishlng
is not for me to acknowledge, nor do in my con-
science recognise the symptoms of cureless canker
irremediable decay in my own dear country. We
have our evils to remedy, our errors to repair and
our difficulties to struggle with, many of them
unknown to you. l have seen great changes, and
may see more, but those l have seen think on
the whole are for the better. trust that the time
is vet distant when some Layard from this or any
other country shall explore the mounds of our
houses of Parliament, or seek in the ruins of ST.
Paul to identify the crypt where the ashes OF our
greatest seamen repose by those of greatest
soldier Still, the designs of Providence are in
scrutable. bow by anticipation to His will; but
as an Englishman looking to this country, feel
and say, where or how it will, our Christening,
mon omnis mortar The history, the language,
the intellectual feats of my country shall survive
beyond the Atlantic. AS look around this room
am reminded of some lines which one of our
minor poets has put into the mouth of young
husband addressing his bride, yet in the bloom of
her charms, when, not shrinking from the future,
he tells her:
"'And when with envy time transported
Shall think to rob us of our joys,
You'll in your girls again be courted,
And III go woong in my boys.
eyes, gentlemen, I'll go wooing in my boys,
and the bride will be fame and empire, and the
dover will be the waste reclaimed from savage
beasts or man more savage, and the issue will be
freedom and civilization-freedom tempered by a
willing submission to legally constituted authori-
ty and civilization founded on the great textbook
of true civilization, the revealed word of God to
man."
Lord Ellesmere was frequently interrupted by
applause. At the conclusion of his remarks the
band played "God save the Queen"
BRUTAL MURDER.--Mr. Miller, young baker
of Waterbury, Connecticut, on his way home on
Wednesday night in that town, was ran against
by four men. On demonstrating, two of them,
named Burns and Kelley, threw him down and
held him, while Kelley ripped his bowels open.
Miller must soon die. Kelley escaped, but the
other three have been arrested.
