Nor do we lbrget him—the gallant Montgomery twin martyr with Warren who left his farm on the Hudson, nor, as it proved, to conquer Quebec, but to win a inightiei victory over death itself.—(Cheers.) I renew that theme once more, to re count how the fanners of New York have served their country nnd mankind. They ■were invested w ith sovereignly, and they abdicated. Glorious example ! Highest ttiumph of disinterested justice! They themselves peacefully and publicly re nounced their exclusive aulhoiity, and transferred power in this republic from its territory to its men. (Applause.) May your institutions, under the spirit of im provement, he peipeiual. May every pure influence gather round your legislation.

(En thusiastic applause ) One word more and I have done. But with that last word, I am about loaddress though but in imagination, the assembled people of New York. It is a tale often repented, to do honor to agriculture, the Emperor of China is, himself accustomed in the spring-time of every year, to hold the plough and turn a furrow. Under our republican institutions, far more is achie ved. The State itself includes, and is in ihe greatest measure constituted by its farmers. They themselves are ihe kings that hold the plough and drive the team every day in the year. (Applause.) The whole common wealth watches ovei the farm. This Society performs its office as the agent of the people. They are assem bled at our fair, to view with honest exul tation the products of ihe farms and work shops, and single out this occasion alone, on agricultural pursuits to award public honors to exalted merit. Il is right, there fore , to assume that the Empire State it-. self is present in your midst. [At this moment a sudden alarm was created by tbe setting of the stage, which was closely crowded. There was a crash ing sound, and the whole appeared to be giving way. Mr. Van Boren was the first to spring up, and beg all to be quiet, as there was no danger. Mr. Bancroft im mediately turned it off very happily— •Yes,’ he replied, “the Empire State is in your midst, and when she is here with the broad shield of her parental protection over her head, no evil and no danger can befall any of us—no, not even to hurt a hair of the head of the youngest, and wea kest, and teuderest among us”—stooping, as he spoke, to lay his hand kindl}' on the head of a little child which had been sea ted by its mother on'he edge of the plat form immediately at his feet. This little incident elicited great applause, after which Mr. Bancroft proceeded.] And ha*; it occurred that this great com monwealth—-the most numerous people ever united under a popular lorm of go vernment — is emphatically a common wealth of the living? Go to the Old World and your daily walk is over catacombs; your travels among the tombs. Here the living of the present day outnumber the dead of all the generations since your land was discovered.

It is now near three centuries since not lilt, least illuslrious in a long and splendid line of sovereigns, bestowed the name and impress of royally on ihe central seat of British commerce. To the opening vision and enterprise ol that era, il seem ed a memorable day ; and, though the in tervening period has not been barren ot events, the day is mememorable still. That commerce, whose interests Elizabeth so solemnly identified with the glory of her crown, adds daily fresh lustre to the history of its early struggles. Vast c han ges since have been; the great oft lie earth have been laid low; empires have decoy ed, fleets disappeared, and crowded ports gone back to desert strands. That ambi tious power which menaced the universal liberty of man, which claimed anew world as the smallest of its dowries, and I concentrated against this island the ut most of its strength and fury, instantly and continually from that time has sunk !to nothingness and shame, and now is I scarcely told among the nations. Mean while the British merchant has gradually and peacefully won ihe prize lor which conquerors vainly contended. Small be ; ginning*, generous ambition, steady per j severance, equal rights, and social duties, have raised him to he the head who was the tail; and in ilie busy exchange we now see not merely the seat of a thriving ! trade, but the real source and c entre of the* greatest and most beneficial earthly ’dominion. The day will not be less me morable on w hic h Victoria has renewed, with tenfold significance, her predeces sor’s auspicious act. In the comparative infancy of commerce, a wise policy or a noble condescension might have induced the Tudor Queen to lemd it her presence and her name. It is no longer a prophetic sense ora patronage of weakness. Com j merce is now but another name for Brit ish strength and greatness. Merchants have grown to merchant princes, and are ihe chief fool's of the Crown. To them , it owes that a seventh of the human kind obeys and loves the Biitish rule; to them and to their inexhaustible means it owes a power of peace and war beyond the fa j euity of armies; to them the respectful i homage of every realm that ocean laves. The queen of merchants does but close intuitively and inevitably with her high calling when she holds her court in the ; Merchants’ Hall. In a palace well wor thy ol the occasion she yesterday presi ded, not merely the sovereign of a power ful nation but the head and governor of a j social fabric which has tilled the earth j with its blessings. Bhe there was seen, as it were, in the most intimate presence jof her own peculiar empire. And, of all merely human occasions, what can com pare with that when a Sovereign is pub licly invested with the most substantial and abiding of earthly powers, and crown ed with the truest anil most innocent ol . human prosperities? The extorted hom age of conquered princes, the unwilling ■ obedience of injured or humbled realms, are but a base triumph—the unreal ad vantage of one, purchased by the real calamity of many. In those [>eity con flicts it is impossible but that one must lose whatnnother gains, and one must lull o . for another to rise; hut in that field of honorable rivalry where our Sovereign yesterday sat triumphant, the case is con spicuously otherwise. There to he great is to impart greatness; preeminence shows the greater benefactor; the blessings of giving and receivings are indissolubly connected; honor is the invariable test of utility, ami no one rises upon his fellow tnen, hut only with them. So it is with die Sovereign —with the whole empire— with every subject. Her majesty appear ed the foremost tenant of earthly thrones, , because her rule is the greatest inter change of benefits —the largest communi cation of Heaven’s bounties. She was surrounded by subjects who are prosper ous because they have augmented the prosperity of their species, and whose : wealth is only their fair and modest pro portion out of the public wealth which their ingenuity and enterprise have crea ted and diffused. Service in that system is the rule of rank. He stands highest who works most truly and industriously 1 under the Author and Giver of all good things. Every benefit there denotes an other. If all other climes mid people toil lor us, it is because we toil for them. If'j they pour in their tributes, it. is the equiv alent return for our subsidies. Such is the reign of kindness, of mutual help and encouragement, of combined progress, and of common victory, in which our So vereign yesterday placed her thron°, the most favored, most loved, and most ben- : eficent of earthly potentates.--- Times of October 29. A fellow who had a scolding wife once moved into a swamp where the dumb ague . was prevalent. ’1 he experiment cured her, it is said.

It was impossible for me to escape, and, had I made a pre-. eipitate movement, l should have become liable to ihe worst of imputations, sol stood stock still, and was quickly arrested by tin* powerful paws of a jet black dame; and thencommenerd ft general scrutiny ot 1 my person. “Hook,” said one, “1 told you the Nnznrinesbadn mouth, and a nose, land earsjust like Mohammedans!’ ‘See,’ said another, taking up my hand, ‘one, two, three, lour, five, exactly the same number!’ ‘lint what are these?’scream ed a third, who had laid hold of die skirts of my coal, ‘does lie hide bis tail herer’ ‘Ami lie laughs, too,’ they exclaimed. From this; indeed, l could not longer re train, although I was becoming serious ly uneasy lest mv absence should be dis covered by the great men, for I was now in the midst of tlie jnost forbidden fruit, although il appeared tar inferior to what my fertile fancy had previously imagined Indeed, a less attractive posse of woman kind. 1 never beheld; for almost all these ladies were at a time ol’life when the fine ness of the Moorish features had disap peared, and the only redeeming grace that remained to them, which is common to all the white women of West Barbary, was the large gazelle eye. As to the ad mired tn hun point of youth, it lias been replaced by a gross fatness, w hich cover ed forms that were once, perhaps, of per fect symmetry. According to the taste of the Moor, a lady is in perfection when fier : charms are a load lor a camel. One, how ever, oflhis motely circle deserved all my admiration as a Mauritanian Venus. This was a delicate looking girl; her age, I thought was sweet fifteen, the prime of r.-omanhood in this precarious c ountry, lor their beauty seems to fade with the teens. Her complexion was very fair, her eyes dark hazel, to w hich the black border ofeohol gave a languid expression. She had a coral-liped mouth, round as a ring, as ihe Moorish ode describes the fea ture. Her black hair, braided w ith silver cards, waived in profusion over her shoul ders. Her sylph-like figure was clothed in a pale green caftan, embroidered on the bosom and skirts in silver thread. This garment reached a little below her knees, and over il she wore no outer robe of light gauze, confined around the waist by a red zone ol Fez silk. The sleeves of her caf tan weie wide and open near the wrist, showing at every turn an arm like alabas ter, which was encircled by a plain but massive bracelet of Soodan gold, and her uncovered legs were seen from below the caftan clasped with chased silver. Her feet, were also bare, lor in her dally with the rest she had forgotten her slippers. Her feet, as well as her bands, were dyed with henna, of a bright orange color, over her head she had thrown a light muslin handkerchief, hut, in this sudden tumult her curiosity got ihe better of her natural caution, and she stood before tne quite un veiled. During the uproar occasioned hv mv intrusion the youthful daltisel was the only one silent; hut now taking alarm from the rest, she had hid her pretty features, and cried in an anxious whisper, ‘Hush ! hush! hush! My father will hear, and then, oh/ what will become of this young Christian ?’ ‘What do we carer’ said a woman, with ryes that rolled like gooseberries in a sau cer, and whom I took to be the most favor ed dame of this party-colored assemblage for her dress tar surpassed that of all da rest in costliness. -It wns the Christian’s fault for (taring to .’ She could not finisli her speech, for the grid voice of their lord was heard. ‘What is that noise?

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT. The following incident occurred a few w eeks since in a village ol one of the south ern counties of our Suite. It was a warm Suhhath a lie mom), and the doors of lhe t village church were thrown open to let in ; the balmy air Loin the field without. ’I be j congregation had assembled, and while | the minister was reading the first hymn a ! beautiful dove enterud tlie door and came walking up the main aisle. Such a visitor drew’, of course, univer-j 'sal attention. But as the choir arose to; sing, he seemed startled, and lifting him-; sr 11 on his wings, alighted on the stove pipe above him, w here he sat bending his glos-| ' sy neck and turning Ins head soastocaleh the harmony ns it swelled through the temple ol God. Whether it was the cho- ; rnsoflhe voices or the lull toned notes of the organ that captivated him, f cannot tell; hut he sat the perfect picture of ear nest attention till the music ceased. Waiting a moment as il to hear the strain commence, he started from his perch and ; sailed on the top of l he organ, where he furled his pinions, sat and looked upon the audience. The young clergyman arose to pray. He is distinguished lor the ear nestness and the fervor of his invocation, and as he stood with his hands around the Bible which lay clasped before him, hum bly beseeching ihe Father of all good to send his Holy Spirit down, that beautiful bird pitched from its resting place on the organ, and sailed down on a level wing the whole length of the church, and per ched on the Bible directly between the hands oflhe clergyman. It was merely a natural occurrence, but how beautiful the picture ! There stood i llie messenger ol God w ith face towards h oven pleading for heaven’s blessings — i ilie Bible before him, around which his | hands were reverently c lasped, while on it stood that beautiful and innocent dove, j The three thus together formed a group i full of interest and symbolized all that is ( dear to man. The Word of God was be- j fore the people, with God s chosen emblem upon it, and God’s herald clasping them | both as he prayed. What wonder is il ifa superstitious fee- 1 ling ran through the house as the people! watched that dove—the emblem of inno cence and purity and the divine Spirit it self—standing on the Bible and looking gently on them. Beautiful I ird, it centred for a time ihe affections of all on it; and he who could have injured it there, would have injured hundredsof hearts at the same lime. The preasence of its tiny feet was no sacrilege there; for the expression of its soft eve was innocence and love. The clergyman feeling the presence of ihe bird, and fearing it might distract the j attention ofhis hearers, gently passed his hands over the Bible, 'i’lie dove unstar tled, merely bopped over it on the cushion wheie it sat tII prayer was ended. It then rose and sailed away. 1 11 former MUTT'S the dove would have been regarded as a spiritual visitant from the unseen world, sent on a special mission in an swer io prayer, and awakened feelings of awe and reverence. j To us it was only a natural hut unusual |occurrence, awakening simply the, senti ment of beauty. It Was anew arid acci j dental figure introduced suddenly into a beautiful picture, giving greater harmony and perlei lion to w bat we dec med perfect before. There was no religion in it, but it was full of beauty.—A. 1. Sunday Mer. A Sight on the Siln. — These evenings !on the Nile are the most beautiful that 1 have ever enjoyed. In the day time the burning sun’s rays are so powerfully re iverheiated from the water, the desert [ sand, and the chalky hills, that one dies not feel disposed to quit the cabin. But, towards evening you come out, recline for a couple of hours upon a broad sofa, and breathe the light bland fresh air, Tbe sun sinks behind the dark blue Lybian hills, while his beams fall upon tbe Arabi an summits as on a prism, clothing tbe in with the lines of flowers, butterflies, and gems. Some of the hills look like great glowing roses, others like chains of ame thysts in a golden setting. The quiet water faithfully mirrors the beautiful vi sion, only as with a light gauzy veil breathed over it. The perfume of spring tide fills the atmosphere ; fields of rape seed, beans, lupines, vetches, and cotton trees lie around us all in bloom ; acacia i shrubs, interwoven with lilac and bloe colored parasites, surround the water wheels by which the fields are irrigated, .or flourish on the banks of the river. The balsamic refreshing fragrance is like j the breath of spring in our fields and woods during the fairest season of the year. Wild doves are cradled upon the j palm branches, or cooing and coquetting i among the bushes. Sometimes a large heron floats over, the stream, and now and then the pelican, with heavy flapping w ings,dives after a fish. When the sun is down and the evening glow has faded, another softer radiance arises in the south Ito clothe the pale mountains again with rosy tints. Meanwhile the stars have n ! risen. On the banks of the river life is stirring. Fires are burning in the villa ges, and the hearths are before the door ways of the huts. Flocks of bleating I sheep and goats are driven homewards ; I dogs harking, asses braying, and children j shouting sw ell the concert. Men ars singing, keeping time with their action as They fill their well-buckets from the Nile, j and empty them into the troughs which convey the wafer. Solitary songs from those returning singly from the fiields, loud conversations and calls are heard far and wide. The Arabs call to each other ] from boat to boat ot across the river ; 1 might also say from village to village, so j conversational are these people, and al ; most in a tone that sounds to me like a j threatening cry. In a lonely barge one ,is beguiling the time by striking thei/nrii {buha, the dull tones of which remind me of the guitar. At last, all is still, and j coolness comes over the water. [ The Countess TTahn-llahn’s Oriental Letters. AMERICANS IN ENGLAND. The European Times says: “Some, time ago we mentioned that steps were be ing taken by the London clubs to stamp ‘re pudiation’ ns a crime against society. We stated that Americans belonging to i the insolvent States would he shut out of the social and other advantage* w hich the dubs afford to strangers visiting London, The war of aggression has commenced, hut it is much more stringent in its appli cation that we intimated at the time, or had any conception of. It w ill embrace all Americans, without reference to what part of the Union they come from. The innocent w ill suffer disgrace equally with the guilty States. When tne Cato street conspirators, some twenty five years ago, determined it) murder the British minister lof that day in cold blood, one of the gang pleaded hard lor the life of a particular j member, on the ground that he was a good and virtuous man. ‘He bed—d !’ was the |exclamation. ‘Spare him! he must be killed for keeping bad company !’ and the ruffians prepared to sacrifice him accor dingly. The retributive policy ol the London clubs would appear to be founded on the same principles of justice —A lea ding metropolilanjourual, a few days hack said, ‘We have heard il mentioned, as a j positive fact, that an American gentleman I of the most unblemished charnclei was r>*- | fused admission into one of the largest jclubs in London on the solegrouud ibal I he belonged to a republic that did not ful fil ils engagements. All possible pains weie taken to convince the gentleman that there was not the slightest personal objec tion to bis admission, and that his own re putation was such that the club would have had the greatest pleasure in recei j ving him, had he belonged lo a more cre ditable government. In fact, the whole affair and the matter in w hich it was done, may be considered as reflecting quite as much honor on the gentleman himself as it conveyed a deep reproach to America. From the feeling with which W’e have heard this subject mentioned in the c ity, it is not too much to expect that theexample will he followed in other establishments. No distinction, ns we underlain I, has been made as lo the State to w hich an indivi dual may belong, but the w hole United Slates are looked upon as equally tarnish ed.” COMMERCIAL RECIPROCITY. lit Igian Treaty with the %<>// Verr'en:— The Zoll Ye rein, or German Customs Union, seems destined, as it is calculated to exercise an imtiortant influence in the commercial world. The principles of its action has caused it to grow in importance through accessions gradually made, as it became more extensively know n and ap preciated. The spirit of reciprocity is the true spirit of fair and honest commer cial intercourse, and it w ould be general ly, if tint universally prevalent, had the Governments of nation* been always ho nest, and silicon ly disposed to regulate their general conduct towards each other by the golden rule, which requires that each should do by all others as he would that all others should do by him. But they have not done so; on the contrary, in I the' spirit of a heartless and soulless selfisli ! ness, they have sought each to secure ad vantages for itself, regardless of the con sequences to l he other, and sometimes even as a matter of state policy, with a view to that otlier's injury. Experience in this wise begat retaliation, arid the arrange ment of commercial relations, as of others generally between nations resolved it self into a governmental game, which was usu ally won by ihe most skillful, sometimes bv the least honest. Under this state ol things tire energies of many a people have been broken down by heavy burdens, tbeii natural spirit of enterprise depressed, and their material means of individual com fort and happiness seriously diminished J vet the Governments disposed to just tee ' were precluded from' the action that would ligliteuth general horde# of oppression, bv the counteraction of the less benevo lent and less honest/ The period, however', seefns to have been for some lime approaching, when that American principle shall be ofgeftr ra) prevalence, which asks nothing hot what is clearly right, with the resolution to ;submit so nothing w rong; a resolution which would he unnecessary, were all the -governments of the earth known to be dis posed to justice in their general relations. Tbe ZoK Verein seems disposed to hasten ; the approach of ihat time by an infusion of the principle ol reciprocity, to at least a considerable extent, into their commcr jcia! relations with such nations sis will con sent to make new, or remodel existing ar rangements with them. How- we refused such consent by the Senate’s rejection of the treat v concluded by the President with them through our minister, is well known; whether the subject will be again pre sented by the Executive, it boots not now I to conjecture our purpose at this time be ing only to present a summary of the pro visions of a treaty concluded between Bel gium and the Zoll Verien States, as we find it in Wilmer & Smith’s European 'l’imes, with the appended remarks touch ing its effect upon the iron interest of En gland, which nation will not reciprocate with them: The treaty which has been concluded between Belgium and the Zoll Verein pro vides for many important reductions of duty on the produce of each country. The Zoll Verein is to admit iron of Bel gian origin at a considerable reduction on tlieir general tariff". The exoort duties which are charged on wool in the Zoll Verein, are to be re duced to one half in favor of Belgium. The import duties which are charged in the Zoll Verein on cheese, are to he re duced 50 percent, in favor of Belgium, and the latter country is to be allowed to send into Germany 15,000 sheep, free oi duty. On lhe other hand Belgium is to reduce the present duties charged on German wines.
