Win reference to the meeting IN BOs-
ton to do honor to the memory of the late
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, the Boston Cour-
Ter, says: We have never seen speaker
90 deeply moved as Mr.. WINTHROP was
during the delivery of bis eloquent and
touching tribute to Mr.. EVERETT, at Fan
euil Hall, this noon. The theme upon
which he spoke, the scene before him,
where he had 80 often met his friend on
matters of great public moment, the recol-
lection of countless acts of kindness dur
ing friendship of thirty years. and
the sad knowledge that the body of one
80 honOred and 30 mourned lay wait
ing the last Offices on earth, seemed to
fire him with overpowering emotion, and
when the speaker, referring to recent diff
ferenoes on important questions, quoted
Mr.. EvRRKrTs letter to him, written al
most on the day when that difference was
avowed: / am not afraid that we shall
give each other cause of offence, and we
will not let others put US at variance his
voice, tenderly modulated, became tremu-
lous with the intensity of bis feelings. The
audience, which hung with breathless at
tention upon his lips, followed him with an
answering sympathy; aud, when he had
concluded, the long drawn breatbs testified
how he had enchanted their attention"

BosroN, Dec 30, 1854.
Ny DEAR ROBERT: Having been hard ats
work all day, sit down by way of relaxation,
late in the evening, to have q little chat with
you. l am rejoiced to hear that the Ledger Is
doing - you say, Is remarkably we'll"
l do, assure you, take great satisfaction in
the thought, that, through your columns, /
ally with good effect. What are four thou
sand persons in Faneuil Hall compared with
the numbers who read the Ledger? ] often re-

With respect TO the French mission, II has
been occasionally mentioned to me, never By
Unless our minister's, now abroad, are recalled,
it il not likely that Massachusetts, which has
now three full ministers, win be allowed to
have another. Even If they should come home,
there are other Massachusetts men who will do
what I viii not-seek the place for themselves
or friends. In fact am very doubtful whether
should accept II, II offered 70 me. I have
been ten years In Europe IaD in my list
year. I don't want the salary. l refused, two
years ago. TO 60 abroad on q confidential mis-
mission to az the leading courts, with leave 70

Having declined this, when urged upon me,
you can Judge whether am very eager 20 go
