When Mr.. Buchanan arrived in Washington
he found letter from Col Webb, inviting
him 10 dhneri as return we suppose, for the
courtesies received by Webb when Buchanan
was Minister in london Mr.. Buchanan was
TO select the party, but Webb retained the
privilege of inviting three or four persons. Mr..
Buchannan accepted the invitation; bur il
happened that the President Sent him an nvi-
tation fhf The same day. OF course, as in the
case of the Queen against the Lord Mayor he
felt himself obliged to 60 to the Presidents. 1t
turned out to be the Iuckiest thing in the

large meeting of the students Of the University
Of Virginia was held on Tuesday evening" the
I'd ult., TO take into consideration the recent
attack of the Hon. Preston S. Brooks on Chns.
Sumner in the United States Senate Cham

Several very eloquent speeches were delv-
cred, all of which fully approved the course Of
Mr. Brooks, and resolution was passed TO
purchase for him splendid cane. Tie cane
is to have heavy gold head, which will be
suitably inscribed, and also bear upon it a
device Of the human head, badly cracked and
broken. The chvalry of the south, it seems,
has been thoroughly aroused.
