The company present might be assured, that the soldiers in Mexico when serving their country, cannot be better reecompensed than by such sentiments drank in such @ manner.

He returned thanks for the honor done the army on this occasion. “Ths Navy of the United States—Honor to its un- tarnished flag” \e Com.

They, the com- mittee, hed been handsomely received, and # deiegation from the other society had accompanied them back. He here introduced Mr. Spooner, the chairman of the Brook. lyn committee, who made acknowledgments in the name Of his soclety for the courtesy extended to them by the New England Society of this city. In reference to the ladies who attended their dinner, he said that in order to get them to attend, they were obliged to leave wine off the je, 80 they concluded to t+ke the ladies and lose the wine. Some | apres oratorical sparring on the wine and water question passed between the delegates of the two rocleties, and at length, when the Brooklyn ogation took their leave, they were permitted to part peace, after three cheers had been given for them and their society. The sentiment sent by the New England Society of New York to their sister society in Brooklyn was— “ Water alone divides us”?

Dr. Cox; Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Lewis, Dr. Cheever was then introduced to the meeting by the President of the Society, Chandler Starr, Esq , when the air of the “Pilgrim Fathers,” was sung by the choir, Dr. Cusever said: Men seeking God earnestly for themselves, always flad him for others; and just so with nations Almost the whole aim of our ,Paritan fathers was to find God,and seeking salvation for themselves, they found liberty for others; and it isthus that God has made the record of their history more full than any other history.
