Vol. XI., No. 296—Whole No. £168, Great Temperance Meeriya.— National Hall was filled to an overflow on ‘Thursday evening, su- | perinduced, as we suppose by the announcement that the Rev, Thomas Spencer, of the Episcopal Church, Bath, England, had yielded his consent to ad- dress those favorably disposed toward this move- ment on this occasion. We should judge that a new impetus—a fresh impulse—was awakened upon this subject, from the zeal and enthusiasm manifest- | ed in this instance, for we never saw a more atten- tive auditory, or one more capable of deep feeling, than was here so assembled. \ After the usual preliminaries, Master Roberts, a jad of some twelve years of age, executed in pleas. | ing taste a popular air on the accordion, when Mr. | McDonough sung a spirited ode to the agreeable mu. | sic of Ruseell’s ‘* Woodman spare that tree,” with | very general acceptance. The Rev. 8. 8. Bacuus, from Auburn, was then for- | mally presented to the audience by the President, who | remarked that, stranger as he was to the large majority present, yet he felt called upon, as a minister of the gos- pel, to unite, with others, his humble influence in the suppression of a vice so utterly inconsistent with the | real happiness of fellow man. In Cayuga county, the scene of his pastoral duties, the question 15 no longer asked, ‘ Doos the indulgence of alcoholic drinks corrupt the mdrdls or destroy the mind?” There it is held ag self-evident and conclusive ; and he was happy to observe that here—the comniercial emporium of the new world—a similar boar prevailed ; and he hoped that a re-consideration of the law, exempting this great and populous city from similar privileges the community in which he lived enjoyed,would be one among the first,as it is one of the most important duties of our State Legisl ture;—he alluded to the license law. We employ lec- turers, or rather assist them m their offices of kindness, by enabling them with our means to extend their efforts in reclaiming the drunkard from his in, indifference. Meetings to promote our influenc: yet pet Legi ture are frequent and imposing, which tend to the cr pling of our energies, and the exhaustion of our su stance. Look about you, and witness your three thou- sand tippling shops, in which, by means of a trifling sum of purchase money, men are licensed to kill by dozens, as cattle in your slaughter-houses—for | “The court awards it, and the law Doth give it.” At your elections, an excitement is made self to enable a large vote to be polle dates for office favorably inclined tow: ufticient in it- uring cendi- the granting Horm is raised fx it smacks of liber- ty! Liberty, indeed! \d to the in- terests of his fellow-man, can for a moment doubt the in- jurious and debasing effects resulting from the use of al- coholic stimulant ? Does it not paralyre t the sympathies of our natures—corrupt thi acter—engender family quarrel—destroy the mind—impair our faculties—stain our reputation, and blast our future prospects ? “It takes away the power of motives to do right, And gives us the power of motives to do wrong.” Our clergymen should be active in this enterprize—'tis time for them to act, and, by the blessing of Providence, Shopd wa may Decene st lasts sober thinking and ote: tuous people; and having occupied the time assigned my- self, give way most cheerfully to one distinguished abroad for his unceasing and valuable exertions in this good and glorious cause of Temperance. The Rev. Mr. Srencen was then introduced, who spoke nearly as follows : -It is a very fine sight, in any coun- try, to see men and women gathered together for the pro- motion of any old Se but when I see around me this large collection of happy faces, actuated by one common impulse,and forjthe verybest of purposes,Iam constrained to acknowledge this as one of the happiest moments of ry. How many, think you, among your large popu- lation, are wholly ignorant of a remarkable phenom- enon wh now taking place in the firmament above us—the eclipse of tho moon. Yet a greater eclipse is that of Intemperance ; and yet, even tl regarded by little else than with a spirit of indifference. How similar these events? Intemperance makes men mad—they be come lunatics, and the Latin for moon is Luna ; hence the derivation and the similarity. Your reputation abroad, my good friends, is not such as to make you enviable for its distinction in one of ita peculiarities. You are char- acterized as a ‘nation of drunkards,” and from what I have seen and gathered from your own admissions, you seem somewhat qualified in this particular. I say this “more in sorrow than in anger,” and hope from further developments, to be enabled to shield you from so dis- graceful an imputation, by n more extended intercourse amovg you as & people. This vice, however, is not alone confined to you as a nation. We, too, have a knowledge of the consequences of this world-spread ev'l. Even our bishops—the dignitaries of the church—make themselves liable to denunciation, and frequently expose their sen sual infirmities I could relate many instarces of this Kind to sustain me in this declaration ; it is, however, a painful theme, and | dismiss the sorrowful contemplation of it—besides it might appear somewhat irrelevant to the majority. 1 find more activity among your clergy inthis country towards the extending and carrying out this great and heaven-bora enterprise, than that exhibited by the clerical order of either England or Wales. Some of our clergy deny themselves participa. tion in this matter, because, they say, the Bible incul- cates no such thing as the formation of Temperance so- cieties. In like fashion I would ask, do we read in holy writ any thing to encourage us in the formation of Bible societies, Missionary societies, institutions for the blin the deaf and dumb? Ministers of the gospel need console themselves, therefuro, by such studied indiffer- ence in regard to one of the greatest objects that ever yet engaged the attention of the true philanthropist—for it is specially enjoined by Divine command, upon kings and princes, and others in authority, ‘* Drink no strong drinks.” ‘There are inany illustrations of similar import, and of like character, to which it is needless to refer. It is enough that we are commanded to do good, and that with all our might, our zeal and strength. I have clear- ed my position thus far, 1 hope, satisfactorily. A few words now to the young man. Let me conjure you by all the hope net have of present or future pappiness to deny yourself the first glass—the incipient step being most dangerous, as it oftimes proves most fatal, fer “TL habits gather by unseen degrees, As brooks to rivers, rivers run to s Avoid all show or appearance of evil—be not deceived by false assurances or mistoken friendships, and you will Tow up eminent in the sphere of usefulness—-command- ing the respect of all classes, and the admiration of the world, A contrary course will be disastrous to your in- fluence in society, and fatally injurious to your happi- ness and health.” Common sense is the best regulator in the control of our passions, and is particularly useful in all the avocations of life. Cherish common sense as yout daily companion, and you will all be good tee-totallers My word for that. Charles Dickens, in his work upon ‘America (and in whose representations I have no confi- donce,) coniplains in_ his series of lamentations, that, in some districts, he was unable, in his travels,to obtain his cherished brandy and water.’ Now, in my travels, | am apprehensive of no such cause for complaint, for 1 pre- sume cold water is generally prevalent, and that at the different stopping places I may be enabled to find at least ‘a pump ! T have no fear of these condemned districts—for “ Water, bright water, cold water for mo,’ ers but not intoxicates—strengthens the do- fections and our fireside happiness. From what i hope to gain your testimony in favor of cold beverage; to the entirejdisuse of all that can by possibility intoxicate—by a scrupulous exactitude aid unwavering self-denial you will find happiness in this world and a bright reward in the world to come. He was followed by Dr. Kirby, Dr. Reese, Mr. Marsh and Alex. Welsh, in their happiest style. The last named entleman twas inimitably good and perspicnous in iustration.” A large collection was taken up and the meeting adjourned to Thursday night next at the Taber- nacle, where the Rev. Mr. Spencer was invited to ad- daess them, and to which he responded by a willing as Fent. From Care Hayrien.—A correspondent ot the Philadelphia Exchango writes from Cape Haytien, un- der date of October 16th, as follows + The British brig Apollo arrived here on the 11th from Liverpool, having touched at Porto Plate. ‘The cargo, after some delay, was allowed to be entered at the cus- tom house by special “ favor;” but ten thousand dollars in Haytien paper, remitted by a merchant of Porto Plate to his correspondent here, was se: by government, pursuant to the law, latoly published, forbidding ali | commerce with the Spanish part. ‘All communication with the Spanish part, of whatever nature, is now forbidden, under the soverest penalties, and under date of the sth, government onlers all foreign- ers to leave that part of the Island within one month, on pain of boing considered accomplices in the insurrec: tion. It has, however, no power to make this order known to the purties interested. Three or four of the largest national vessels are now undergoing repairs. Tris will delay the expedition against the Dominicans somewhat, as tho army will not march until the fleet is ready to sail. ‘The leaders of the late insurrection at Leagone have been tried, and were acquitted, on account, as is alleged, of informality—ono of the Judges being under age. ‘The Commissioners sent some months since to France, for the purpose of obtaining, if poxsible, some reduction, and an extension of time on tho French claim, have re - turned without effecting anything.

LEOPOLD DE MEYER. lian —— ————— “ge Perfcrming before the Emperor of all the Russias. { During the sojourn of this great pianist at Odes- sa, he became acquainted with the Count Witte, General-in-Chief of the Russian Cavalry, with whom he undertook the important journey to St Petersburgh. The acquisition of the Count’s friend- ship was of great service to the youthful artist in the Russian Capitel. Of his introduction at the Imperial Palace, we find the following anecdote :— Some days after the Count Witte’s arrival at St. Petersburg, having the honour to dine with their Imperial Majesties, he related that he had journeyed from Odessa with a young pianist of extraordinary Alter performing with great éelat at St. Peters- burg, the great pianist proceeded to Turkey, where he had the honor of performing before the Sultan From Turkey M. De Meyer retraced his steps to his native city, Vienna, giving concerts en route, at each and all of which he Sotalned the most enthusiastic applauses from all classes. On his arrival at Vienna he gave seven concerts, at the greater number of which the Imperial Court were present; and it is needless to say his reception was flattering be- yond all that preceded. was made pianist by ‘special appointment and diploma to the Emperor of, ustria, and was also enlisted honorary member of the Conservatoire of Vienna. And after visiting merit, whereupon the Empress, enchanted with the account, instantly despatched one of her coaches tor M. de Meyer, determined on hearing him that same evening atthe court. Heaccordingly came to tie palace and played his fantasies from themes on Son- nambulaand Anna Bolena, which produced an as tonishing eflect on every one present. The Em- press, alter hearing the first morceau, rose from her seat, and approaching the piano, remained_ standing behind the chair during the whole performance, uttering aloud frequent demonstrations of surprise and delight. M. LEOPOLD DE MEYER, Soon after his arrival in the capital of the Czars, Leopold de Meyer gave a grand concert at the The- atre Royal, which realized thirteen thousand rubles The whole of the royal family were present, togeth er with the Prince Royal of Prussia and the élite of the Russian nobility. “During the concert his Ma- jesty the Emperor Nicolas sent for M. De Meyer, and engaged him to lend his assistance at a concert in the palace, which was to be helda few days at- terwards in honour of the visit of the Prince Royal of Prussia. Performing before the King of France. Austria aud the Belgie States, we find him in Paris, pluying before the King of France. Leopold de Meyer gave four public concerts in Paris—two at Erard’s grand saloons, and two at the Théitre {talien. He performed at the monster con- that wonderiul and versatile genius, Hector z held at the Cirque Olympique; in. the yeées, before eight hundred musicians; place where, trom its immensity of size, no other pianist had ever dreamed of playing beferg. An accident occurred to him on his way to this con- cert, whieh had nearly pat him hors de combat, being flung froma fiaere, and receiving a severe contusion in one of his fingers, which quite incapacitated him from using it with any effect. But, as one of the French journalists remarked, alluding to the acci- dent et his performance immed: bsequent— ““M. De Meyer seemed to us to. ne spare more fingers than one, for we never eard such showers of notes, even from four hands, elicit- ed on the piano, as he produced in his performance at Hector Berlioz’ concert.” Leopold de Meyer was encored twice at the monster concert, and the favourite piece, the Marche Marocaine, which he layed there, was arranged by Hector Berlioz tor his whole grand orchestra, and Oo ts og at the next concert with tremendous effect. It was the first time M. Berlioz found any modern pianoforte music worthy to be transferred into orchestra! sore. ag Sak and Romantic View of Europe.
