nt,s REGISTER 1.-The work Of 'th,
.Jobilee week goes braysly on AZ The
lclose Of Yesterday concert, the Presi
dent. with the Secretary Of the Treasu
rv was escorted to the Revere House
and there one of the pleasantest ban
DUETS ever engaged in, was served. The
President left the table with his party
few minutes before eight o'clock, to take
the train for Grotos, where he was to
pass the night with Secretary Boutwell,,
who resides in that town. Mr.. Thorn
ton, the British Minister, made the best
speech, and almost the only one of the
Ieyeaing, in reply to toast to Queen
Victoria, declariag that no one would
Iappreciate the return of peace more
trnly than she, for she, as well as the
best class of English society, wish to see
the country completely Y united again.
Some people think that there cannot
he sentimental friendship between Eng
land and the United States, but am OF
uuite different opinion. Applause }
| believe that there can be even that
sentimental friendship, and that there
should be friendship in order that the
world may see the advantages of lib
eral institutions which we, think, hrsG
established in this country, but you
have carried out and improved them.
T TAnpIause.1 If there are some few peO-
ple who think that there can be no
friendship surely the interest is sutti-
cient. If we see the children iHcreas.
ing the common stock we know that
England must profit in trade with this
country. We must profit by the In
creased prosperity and union OF THIS
country, and am therefore delighted
TO have this opportunity to drink 10 the
health of the nnion of this country.
[Great applause and cheers

tains, now, | believe, Chief of the San
Francisco Department They made

Parepa was in magnificent voice and
in the solo part, where she sang The
Star Spangled Banner, was most enthu-
applauded. To the exacting
calls of the audience for repetition, she
most obligingly complied: and in the
last verse her clear voice rose high
above the whole chorus Of ten thousand
singers, ringing through the Coliseum,
like the call of an angel.
The tOucLing and beautiful air of
Tom Moore'S "Harp that once through
Tara's Halls" was sung in charming
style. But the closing piece Old Hun
dred, owing apparently to a miSunder-
standing on the part of the chorus, was
not so successful. The second verse
especially, in which the audience were
expected to join, dragged considerably
at first, but by the middle of the second
line, was taken up with more spirit,
and the last two lines went off in a
most inspiring manner. Aside frem
this everything went OFF well and bril-
liantly.
This evening a grand ball is to be
given in the Coliseum, at which the
seauty and fashion of Boston are ex-
pected. will try and post you in re.
gard to it tomorrow. The dance music
will be under the direction of Mr.. Gill
more and given by baud of five hun
dred, while the music for promenades
will be by a selected number of militia
ry bands led by Harvey B. Dodworth.
