The people of Genoa have already

are in favor of sending over twelve
Genoese sea captains, as typical both
OF Columbus and Garibaldi, to debark

trod. Others favor the shipping over

President Buckham's Remarks.
1t would have afforded us very great
pleasure, ii we could have the presence Of
Dir. Howard himself on this occasion | am
S're that we shOt!lu all have welcomed the
opportunity of seeing the face and shaking
the hand OF one to whom we all feel under so
great obligation, and especially we should
have been glad to testify to him, in way he
could not mistake, the cordially OF our feel
ings toward him, and the very high appre-
citation we have of the benefits he has con-
Fcrred upon CIR city, upon the University,
and now particularly upon the Medical De
partment. But you must have noticed that
when his benefactons are made he either
contrives to be at distance, or he makes
them in a private way by the signing of a
deed, or the drawing of check, making his
gift and not himself conspicuous. Absence,
however, will not, in this case, produce
forgetfuness. Although he is to-day
separated from us by the whole
breadth of q continent he is present
in the thoughts and in the hearts of all. He
has our respects for the kindly and generous
nualitiee of his heart; he has our gratitude
FOR the bounty n which we have all, to some
eElent shared; be has our warmest wishes
for prolonged life, for improved health. and
for the continued enjoyment OF what he finds
to be the greatest If all luxurics-and that
this is his greatest luxury IS the best thing
that can be said of any mantle luxury of
doing good. Long may he live to enjoy it !
In MIR. Towards absence iusOmuch as the
ceremonies of the occasion require that @
