Parson Brovsnio,v in Brooklyn.


The heroic Parson Brownow appeared before Brook
Ign audience last evening. The Academy Of Music was
crowded to its greatest capacity, and many gentlemen
and ladies lad TO stand during the whole time tho
Parson spoke. The band OF the North Carolina was In
attendance and played several patriotic pieces
The stage hronged by many OF the principal citi'
OF the sister city and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The defender Of the Union received
with tremendous applause and for several minutes II
impossible for him to speak Three cheers were
proposed for Parson Brownlow and given with awil
after which there another enthusiastic ouburst OF
applause.
Parson BRowNIow began his speech by saying that he
had git Of eolueDce, although lie had been accGs
tome 10 public speaking for the last thirty-ve years
He had never been neutral on any question IN MS me-
He review ed the progress of tho rcb on la th slave
States, and analysed the desperate and bloodthrsy
detailed series of the South scarcely rea
liable The speech which we laid before the readers oi
the HERALD however, contained nearly all OF these IN
tancos and, with but few exceptions, was ono with
the Parsons discourse last evening. lie expfeSse
his undyng and unfalterir devotion 70 the
Unon and declared it to be his tent ion to return 10
his Southern home ana fight the ruilans there to the
suppress the rebellion. That dono, let England and
Franco como on, aud we will whip them, too; especially
old John Bull for sending his In. Russell here 10 carry
water both shoulders, England has always been
doing. lie did not like such mpudenco anyhcw and he
would rather have fuss with John Bull than not.
The Pars loudly cheored throughout his speech
and retiring. The relation OF his experience in the
prison in which he confined peculiarly interest
ing throughout he spoke with much feeling energy
and animation.
