Twas present, a few nights ago, on q social occa-
sion worthy Of commemoration. This was dinner
at the Burlington lone OF those West-end, ars'o-
cratic, family -hotels lying between Regent and
Bond-street, where nob.cmcn with their hui!ieS
commonly put up when in town, and where you can
get impossihly good old port such as is never iouna

ran, of the American Legation, in honor OF and
farewell to lis friend and coadtor, Mr. Wilson,
who retres from the post Of upper Secretary to M
Adams, to which Mr.. Moran succeeds. Both goh-
tleraen have won the goodwill OF all who know
them. American and English, in this country;
hence the dinner though qui;e private and including
less than dozen individuals proved great success.

attention On your side Of the Atlantic, as on THIS.
" It's object is to suggest some more efficient AID
organised provision for the wounded On the field Of
battle than at present exists, and TO induce tho
various Governments Of Europe and America to
formally ombodv the scheme which 1t may recon-
mend in the ordinary laws Of warfare" All very
