PREsENTATIoN.-Yesterda afternoon a party
of prominent citizens took passage on board
the steamer Express, Capt Oliver, for Trefeth-
ems landing. On reaching the wharf at the
landing, Capt Oliver was induced to accompany
the party to the parlor of the Montreal House.
Here the party was called to order by j. B
Coye, Jr., who, in few felicitous remarks
complimentary to the gallant old sailor, intro
ducedJ John L. Shaw, Esq, who addressed Capt.
Oliver after the following style:
'Capt. Oliver: Your many friends in the city
have noted with interest your patient endeav-
ors to please the public, your thoughtful care
for the welfare OF your passengers, and your
large -heartedness during the three years you
have been captain of the Express, and they
were especially gratifed at YOUR manly conduct
at the time of the fire on Atlantic and Gait
wharves. AS slight token of the high esteem
and deep respect they entertain for you, they
have been pleased to entrust to us for presenta-
tion to you this chain and seal, which they
trust you will wear as a memento of their re-
gard for you
Capt. Oliver was completely taken by sur
prise aud for few moments his feelings were
too antense for utterance. "Mr Shaw and gen.
tlenen,'' said he, II know not how to convey
to sou and to those associated with you in this
gift, my thanks. Believe me, gentlemen, I
shall value it not alone for the cost-whIch is
large-but as an expression of the esteem and
regard in which | am held by my friends. l
do not know that have done anything to merit
this UNUSUAL expression on the part of my
friends but while l accept with pleasure this
token of your r. gard and shall wear it in re-
membrance of one of the proudest days of my
life, / trust shall never do anything to cause
yod to regret the gift
After the company had for few moments
admired the gift, which consisted of heavy
gold cable chain and onyx stone seal, costing
altos s'ether S154, the company united in singing
EtAuId Lang Syne" Mr. Shaw then briefly
addressed Mr.. David W. Cook, engineer of the
Express, and in behalf of the company, ten
dered for lNis acceptance heavy plated chain
and seal, wor N $50 Mr.. Cook, though not ex-
pecting anything of the kind, made an appro-
pirate reply.
The following is a copy Of the paper present.
ed to the captain, containing the names of the
donors:
