Rev. MR.. DALTON, in st. Stephens Church
last evening delivered discourse on the life
aud character of the late Honorable Edward
Everett-not elaborate, studied and phlloso-
phical, but off hand, truthful and interesting.
His praises of the dead were not fulsome and
Understanding, but just and candid. He
spoke of Mr.. Everett as literary man, an
orator, patriot and diplomatist, in all of which
characters he stood in high rank. he had
done much for American scholarship at home
and abroad. In politics he had been conserva-
tive, but when he found southern rebels de-
manded too much, he heartily espoused the
cause OF his country, and laid aside all his
former prejudices and predictions. The
speaker spoke with emphasis of Mr.. Ever
ett's moral character, and said he was a
Christian In the best sense of that term, al
though he was no sectarian. He was not
great like Cazar, Scion, Bonaparte, and some
others, and had no particular love for political
1ife. gel
The singing was excellent. The soprano is
sweet, flexible and sympathetic-the basso,
full, deep-toned and musical. We were pleased
to hear that old anthem once more, not hav-
ing heard it for many years. a

TIE PLACE TO LOSE A WALLET.-Ane elder
ly gentleman who turns an honest penny by
selling spectacles from door to door, left his
wallet in our Custom House. Some time after
he returned and anxiously enquired for the
lost article. One was found and he was asked
how much money it contained2 "Three cents"
was his reply. "Fhen it's not yours" said the
finder; @for this wallet contains thirteen cents
in American COIN" The spectacle man was
evidently in trouble, but he was soon relieved
from the load that was pressing SO heavily up
on his heart. The finder had added ten cents
to the old mans three, and gave him the whole.
He said he should like to lose it every day in
