After the band had played Dixie
and "The King and Countryman,' the
chairman rose, and, after shaking hands
with the U. S. minister, said he would
commence by reading letters that =
been received. He then read one from
Admiral Se1nnes, regrgetting that tie
state of the eychequer prevented his be-
ing present. Nothing would have been
more agreeable than to have shaken
hands with Mr.. Johnson, and he sent
volume from which he had obtained
many points of international law. The
chairman produced this volume, which
proved to be the PIRATES Own Book. y
Letter from Hon. F. Wood, y. S., said
he was prevented from shaking hands
with Hon r. johnson, as he was Obliged
to look after ais business engagements
which, owing to the present state of at
fairs, seemed perfect lottery. He re-
garded Hon. r. ]. as one of the props of
the United States, and, as such, every
one should take his hand and shake it.
At this point Hon Mr.. Lindsay shook
hands with Hon. Reverdy Johnson. Cap
plause.)
The chairman proposed the following
sentiment:
'tThe Pen and the IIyre."
Bull Run RUSSELL, and the editor of the
London 'Times"' both rose to respond
to this sentiment, and come other discus
sion in which both parties shook hands
with che q. s. minister, Mr. Russell de-
clining to respond for the pen, the editor
OF the "r!mes" responded to calls fol-
the Lyre. He made spirited speech

lied on public opinion. (Hear, hear.)
Mr.. Russell was now writing from
American experience it was not neces-
sary for him to leave England to write
from foreign countries; he lies comfort
ably at home after many trials, and will
after his eventful career, lie in his grave
(Hear) without rival. (The speaker
after shaking hauds with F.. Johnson, sat
DOWN.
Hon. Jefferson Davis being called
upon, had but one word to say. He de-
sired to take Reverdy Johnson by the

and was cordially greeted by Mr.. John
son, who shook hands with him.
In response TO loud call, Mr.. Roe
buck said he was glad to find the Ameri-
can minister so ready to establish the
old friendly relations between the two
countries. England had the deepest i'll
terest in America; the graduates of some
CT the largest public institutions in Eng
land "a yoice-"Prisons and work
houses") were now exercising a controll-
ing influence in American politics, and
we are using the strongest efforts to es-
tablish scDle of the favorite institutions
OF Great Britain; to us is America i'll
debted for the high-minded men who
govern the GI.at city Of New York!
The American rough himself is but 4
