follow the high example set them by
France and England. The path of com
mercial freedom Was like The path of
virtue; it was only the first steps that
were difficult, the last were the most
easy. He had heard people say that
France had greatly pro6ted by the treaty
Of m with England he sincerely
hoped the statement was true, and he
assured his hearers that he not only re-
ioiced at it, but he offered them his most
sincere congratulations. Englishmen
were not jealous of the good which
France derived from that treaty, for acts
like these promoted good will among
nations in place of the luminosity which
in other times, and before they came to-
know each other, prevailed between
them. They We're the best guarantee
for the perpetuation of good, will, and
eventually for the peace of Europe.
When Mr.. Gladstone resumed his seat
there was a pause for some seconds, as
if his hearers were unwilling 10 believe
that the voice of the charmer was silent,
and then they applauded with enthusi-
asm. What they remarked and admired
in Mr.. Gladstone'S address was the earn.
%estness, the appearance of profound con
vicilon, and, so to speak, the religious
feeling which pervaded it; then that
manly tone. that facinating simplicity of
manner, far beyond the reach of the
mere rhetorician, which perhaps more
than anything else impressed his hearers.
the great majority of whom then heard
him and saw him for the first time, and
which reviIttd their attention, and even
won him their affection. They were
struck, too, by his deIivery-slow and
deliberate every sentence full Of mean
ing, aud SO complete that the speech
might be printed off as it was uttered,
without the change of a word, or ev@ of
a comma. All that was felt by hI Shear
efs, though few among them were con-
verSant with the language in which it
was spoken.
The NOrd contains the following des-
cription of Mr.. Gladstone'S appearance at
the banquet :-"AS soon as the applause
with which the toast was received had
ceased, the illuStrious English statesman,
with that eloquent facility which we all
know, at least by reputation, thanked
the Political Economy Society, and dis
CuoSOu PA IllluCbCt u IH6U VI SCttHCc on
the progress Of governments, the peace
OF the world, and the approximation of
the two great civilisrd nations of the
West. He dwelt on the reciprocal bene-
fits which the treaty of m could
not fail to confer on both England and
France, and, on this head, adroirly intro
duced a panegyric, as original as it was
characteristic, on Golden, and an approx
al of The enlightened frmness of the En-
peror Napoleon. Then, taking a rapid
survey Of the past and future, he said:
Il have abolished or reduced the taxes on
fourteen hundred articles, and | look for

will be merely a recollection. If it be
permitted me to do this immense service
for England, and TO prepare The way for a

A letter from Capt. Joseph M. Waugh I
Of Portland, giving general account
the late fearful calamity at St. Thomas, /
published in the Press. The following Il
an extract:
"A fortnight ago, right in the midst I
the heavies. and most anxious OF my work
/ had an attack OF fever that laid me OF
my back, and was for some days yer.
sick. / was obliged to leave my quarter 4,
on board the vessel, and took residenc 4
in very pleasant and billy spot on tn
island. See how Gods mercy was show,
to us in striking manner One weel
from the date of my coming on shore q
fearful hurricane desolated the island nj
terly destroyed AZ ships--sunk, ashore 0
capsized, and drowned over 500 persons,
Our house was unroofed, we were wet.
and all the furniture destroyed no one in
our house was injured, though the CHM
neys, walls. fer ces and trees were actually
flying through the air. This dreadful
hurricane gave no warning whatever, buf
commenced blowing from the northwes
with the utmost fury and continued for tive
hours. During this time the distressin
spectacle Of seven vessels capsized in az.
instant by wbirlwinds, was within my ow',
sight. Nearly every soul of the crew
remaining were clinging to the bottoms o,
to the spars of the sunken ships. A death
like calm followed. and prevailed for hal
an hour during which time several vessel
put out boats to save lives. The pilot de
partment put out two beautiful CUTIE
through frightful sea, and had alread
saved many lives, and the Spanish man
of-war had all her boats out with fort,
men and officers when the wind shifted j
an instant to southeast, in such rush an
binding storm, that all these unfortunat
people were swept away at once into eter
nifty. All the ships were sunk, and ever
} wharf and building on the waters edg
destroyed, the trees torn up by the roots
and the suburban residences on the hill
blown into a million tiny fragments, an
scattered for miles over the hillside
Such dreadful sense of ruin no man liz
ing, think has ever beheld. This haT
pened on the goth, and all day yesterda
:, hundreds of corpses were being taken frol
: the lower harbor."
