— NEWS FROM HAWAIL. One Week Later from Honolulu—Retarn of the Expedition to tiicronesla—Advices from the United States. We have received, by the way of San Francisco— thanks to Gregory & Co.—advices from Honolulu to the 4th ult. The Polynesian of that date says :— We received on Tuesday our regular mail of tho 5th of from New York, and by Gregory's Baxpress, At- ‘teen days later intelligence, by the Nicaragus route, in of the mail. We have a New York Usaa.v of the ‘Wh of October, which was received here in forty days, Or in five days shorter time than advices have evor been received Leze. We take the following from the same paper :— The ship Valparaiso touched in the channel going out, on Tuesday, the November, and remained until the next tide, when she hauled off it damage. She could have gone out with ease at water or even high tide, but the pilot who took her out was deceived in her draught by about one foot, and thence the accident. In going out the crowd of shipping, the V. ran foul of the Hibernia and carried away about six feet of her fore- , to repair which she was detained a couple of ays, but sailed on the 26th November for New Bed- with a full cargo of oil, bone and ngers. few accidents have occurred in this harbor among the shipping, although crowded nearly full. THE SUGAR CROP. The manufacture of the sugar crop commenced on those plantations where the cane blossoms, and from | yond es a large yield will result from favorable season the planters have enjoyed, 80 far ag weather has been concerned. The unusual @rought of 1851 destroyed much cane; but there has been no lack of rain the present year. We have heard persons, who have visited the tations on Kanai, say that heavier crops were never witneased than were growing there a few weeks since. Advices were received in Honolula on the 3d of Dec., in thirty-eight duys from New Orleans, by seven nye the shoves tne time ever made between the two THE FOREIGN GUARD AND THE KING. Monday the 20th of Nov. was observed in the Hawaiian K' as the ninth anniversary of the joint declarat of Great Britain and France to cempect the independeace of this kingdom. Public were closed during the day, and at 12 o'clock, @ salute was fired from the battery on the bowl. In the evening a court was held at palace, which was uumerously attended. A pp of presentations were made, among that of the newly organized oanreny of the Hawaiian Guard attracted special attention. After the presentation, Capt. McDuffie addressed His Ma- Jesty as follows :— Simx—In presenting the lst Hawaiian Guard to ee, permit me, on behalf of the associa- whom | have the honor of representing, to aasure your Majesty, that we fully appreciate your kind expressions to the foreign residents, for thei prom; in tendering their services to maintain, even by force of arms, the laws oe en a and the peace and good order of iy.

[ EF e e o i his Majesty was pleased to reply as fol- | and to put one ap. intercourse with patriarchal king, we were much interested in him, and cannot but he is not far from the kingdom. Ata formal meeting of the mission, we decided unanimously to occupy this post, and Mr. and Mrs. Snow and Opunui and wife were de- signated for this island, with their own cheerful ac- quiescence. But it was thought best we should all visit Ascension. 24 After remaining at Strong's Island nearly «ix days, we sailed for Ascension, and were nine days in making the Femina hundred miles--calms and squalls of rain. We found things at Ascension much as we expected, plenty of white men, and many of them not of the most elevated sort. We an- chored first in the windward harbor, in the Matera- Jein tribe, but subsequently decided to established the mission in the south , in the Kittie tribe. The reasons were, Ist, a greater number of vessels anchor here. 2d. A better class of foreigners are collected in this tribe, who seemed decidedly friendly to our object. 3d. The authorities are more efficient, and romised better protection. Asa good deal of hos- ility exists between the two tribes, our main difficul- ty was in getting away from the windward tribe, without giving offence and exciting jealousy. But we pro! i the king and chiefs that missionary labor should be extended to their tribe as goon a3 possible. After spending a little more than three | weeks at Ascension, we left our brethren and sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Sturges, and Mr. and Mrs. Gulick, and Kaaikaula and wife, comfortably situated in their ‘own hired house,” with a wide field of usefulness before them. ‘We retured to Strong’s Island, touching at Wel- lington or Duperrey Island on our way.

He had fears that we should not be back, as we were goue longer than we anticipated. He welcomed our return, and seemed to improve our further acquaintance. He seemed to be a father to | his people, although he has the most absolute power in his hands. Such deference 4s is paid to him by his subjects I never saw paid to any mere man, | though without any apparent haughtiness on his part. He is a model of unostentatious simplicity. He talks and understands broken English quite well. I had repeated conversations with him, and was sur- prised to find his high tone of feeling on moral sub- ts.

We left at Strong’s Island the whale Vane Narragansett, of Nantucket, Cuptain Coleman. Captain C. had his wife and two children with him—a son and daughter—the son about ten years old, and the | daughter thirteen or fourteen—a very pleasant fami- | ly. We spent an evening on board; Mr, Snow sang, and the daughter played the melodeon, a taste of civilized life which Mr. and Mrs. Snow did not expect to enjoy quite so soon at Strong's Island.

By the arrival of the American schooner Velasco in forty days from Huahuie, one of the Society Islands, the Nan Francisco Echo has received some late and interesting intelligence. A small weekly journal, called the Messager de Tahiti, has been established in the Islands. It is | printed in French and Kanaka. THF MISSIONARY EXPEDITION TO MICRONESIA. {From the Honolulu Polynesian, Dec. 4.] The aufe return of the schooner Caroline, on Sun- day last, after an absence of four and a half months, | was a welcome event to many in this community. Rev. Messrs. Clark and Kekela returned in her, bring- ing with them two natives of Pitt’s Island for the of instruction, to return again to their coun- at some futare time. | Our readers will recollect that the Caroline sailed hence on the 15th of July last, for the purpose of conveying to Micionesin the Rey.

By it our readers will see how the missionaries were received, and how located for the present. Strong’s Island, upon which Rey. Mr. Snow is lo- cated, is in lat. 5 N., lon. 164 E., and Ascension is three hundred miles to the northwest, and in the midst of-an extensive group, not yet explored with reference to missionary operations. The population | of Strong’s Island is estimated at one thousand five hundred souls, and Ascension at five thousand. As intimated in the Polynesian when this expedi- | tion sailed, we shall look for a speedy increase of | intercourse between these islands and that archi- , and for the gradual extension of commercial with that hitherto almost unknown region. By a notice in the Friend, an opportunity to send to Sesion is announced, in two or three weeks, | by the whaleship isaac Howland, Captain West, | for which ship a letter-bag will be found at the Post | Mr. Eprror :— The following letter was written without avy thought of publishing; but owing to ragged weather aad sea-sickness, | was unable to write as mach as [ desired, and have concluded, thgrefore, to send a copy to you for Fars 4 insertion the Polynesian.

At Tari , or Makin, we spent five deys. We found here several white men, mostly English, engaged in col- Jecting cocoannt oil. Sone of them had lived in dif- forent parta of the group seven or eight years. They received us in a friendly manner, as did also the a thorities and le of the island. From them we gained much information respecting the Kings Mill group. We fonnd no obstacles which we regarded #8 insurmountable to establishing a mission here. One of the greatest difficulties, at first, would be a ‘want of the knowledge of the language, or of suita- die interpreters. To remedy this difficulty, in some measure, we have brought with us, at their own re- est, two young men, natives of Tari Tari. We hope may become helpers in introducing the gospel to countrymen. The number of people in the whole ip, according to the best informatiba we could in, is about 40,000. From this place, we were eleven days in making ‘s Island, six hundred miles. We here found only white men.

The covette Moselle was destined for that point. She would take a pumber of troops on board, to compel respect for the laws of nations. The Echo calls the attention of the merchants and navigators of San Franciseo to the establishment of commercial marta, with every possible facility for trade offered by the Governor of the port of Papecte. The constraction of a dock and railway for the repair of els at the same port has proved of very great vtil A number of vessels have already been hauled up and repaired at a comparatively small expense. The officers of the Swedish frigate Eugenie, which arrived at Papeete from this port on the Mth of September, met with a brilliant reception. She loft the Islands on the 25th of the same month, to con- tinue her cruise around the world. The French ship Veste, Captain Soubry, reached Papeete, from San Francisco, via Honolulu, on the 2st of October. The French ship Primoguet, Captain Kerugore, arrived with a cargo of provisions from Valparaiso, | on the same day.

Vara Cruz, Jan. 11, 1952. ‘The mails which reached our city yesterday, from the city of Mexico, fully confirm the report which was spread yesterday, that His Excellency, General Mariano Arista, had retired from tho Presidency of the republic, and that Juan Bautista Cevallos, President of the Supreme Court of Justice, was acting. ‘We take the following from tha Siglo Diez y Nueve of the 4th inst., with regard to the renunciation of General Arista, and his departure from the capital:— “Yesterday the greatest uncertainty still reigned throughout the city. The excitement of all parties was intense, and it was generally supposod that General Arista would present his renunciation. “The persons fearing revolutionary excesses were averse to the withdrawal ot his Excellency. The cabinet was anxious to obtain the true state of public feeling and opinion, and for this purpose « long conference was held with the principal members of Congress—chiefly with the committees of the Treasury Department. The gov. ernment having at length come to the conclusion that | extraordinary power could not be obtained, Goneral Arista resolved to abdicate the Presidency. “This resolution soon became publicly known,and alarm” ingrumors were set afoot. These, however, found but little credit—so little that in the evening a very numeroug audience filled the theatre. would be a movement on the part of Arista and his friends to proclaim a dictatorship, and that others were prepared to establish the Guadalajara plan. All this was unfound- Publio tranquility remained undisturbed throughout the capital, thanks, probably, to the efurta of Governor Agearate, of Commander General Garcia Conde, and of all the commanders of the garrison troops. “There were a number of armed foreigners at the Great Society, in the Baraar Coffee House, and at the German | Cub, assembled there for the cole purpose of protecting their property, in case there shoul be any disturbance, “Gen. Arista left the palace at half-past one o'clock in the pearing: 1s his coach, with an escort of fifty men be- longing to the police squadron, and a corps from the Afth regiment. His Excellency was aceompanied by two adju- tants. We do not know the direction he has taken. ‘Sr. Juan Bautista Cevallos, President of the Supreme Court of Justice, entered the palace at midnight, called there Wy ee cet, and we understand that Gen. | left Arista his resignation in the hands of that gentle- man, to be by him presented to Congress; and he also executed an instrument entrusting him, in conformity with the constitution, with the duties of the executive. “Both Houses have been summoned to meet at ten o'clock this morning, and it may be that in the course of the present session « President pro tem. may be appointed. “At present the majority of Congress appear to be in favor of preserving order, and the chances are that the taid Gen. Cevellos will be elected. “The new government izes # legal origin; and what he pula ti Speen pe ious to maint © po} ion at large are anxious to maintain ce, order and legality."’ = CUSTOM HOUSES. ‘The House of Representatives has approved the govern- | ment proposition to effect a reform in the custom houses.

With reference to the communications which have been addreased to you hence, and from St. Jago de Cuba, respecting the outrage recently committed at the latter place upon Mr. Philip Boylan, a British merchant, of the highest respectability, and who has heen established fifteon years at that place, during which long period he has succeeded in obtaining for himzelf a position of peculiar eminence in the good will and estimation of all classes of the community: and whose banishment from that city, (at the insti- gation of a clique, composed of those who are de facto the governors of the province, they having com- pletely gained the upper hand of General Medinilla,) has caused universal astonishment and regret. I now enclose to you a copy of the translation of a letter which, after much difficulty, I obtained from wn intimate friend of Mr. Martin Galiano, the goy- ernment or political secretary, to whom it was ad- dressed by Mr. Arango, the Supreme Magistrate of Santiago de Cuba and Fastern province of the Island. The letter will speak for itself; and it also speaks volumes in demonstrating the danger to which the lives and propertica of American citizens residing in Cuba are daily exposed, under the rule of tlie men who have so unworthily succeeded those who governed under the administration of the up- right, honest General Don José de la Concha. ‘THE RECGKNT OF TH REAL AUDIENGLA OF THR EASTERN PROM VINCE GF THK ISLAND OF CUKA, 10 DON MAKILN GALLANO) POLITICAL BHCREYARY, HAVANA, (mransiarton. ‘SanTIAco pk Gena, Dec. 20, 1852. My Dran Furxo—The bearoris Mr. ’hilip Boylan, of this Commune, a very honest person, attending exclu- sively to his mercantile affairs, and who, owing to his st iness and irroprehensible conduct, notwithstanding hia being still very young, has been able to collect a ro- spectable capital: “Notwithstanding his good qualities, and his haying been absent six mouths—being just re- turned from Europe with a cargo for his own account to the amount of $60,000—he finds that they have forced him to remove from his domicil for political causes; and as this may have resulted from wrong information, it not being probable nor at alllikely that Mr. Boylan should mix in anything of the nature of revolution, since be- sides his being Kuropcan, he possesses considerable inter- | ests in the island, being moreover of a quiet, conciliato- ry and respectablo character towards the authorities, I recommend him to you very particularly, ao that if it is in your power you may obtain his return to his domicil, {| and avold tn this way the rnin of his large intereats, which will be unavoidable if he is banished from Cuba. Tremain, &e. (signed.) J. M. ARANGO, You must bear in mind that the foregoing letter is | from the Supreme Magistrate of the Eastern province of Cuba. Mr. Boylan could not have received a higher testimonial. But this was not the only one. I un- derstand he came to lay his case before the Captain- General at Havana, fully provided with similar docu- ments from all the local constituted authorities and | respectable people of St. Jago de Cuba, who did not hesitate representing his case to be a flagrant out- rage, and himself a victim to the scandalous and infamous intrigue. You will hardly credit that | the Captain-General of Cuba would dare, in the face of such convincing proof of Mr. Boylan’s eutire innocence as to his having in any way made himself | obnoxious to the government, to confirm the arbi- trary conduct of General Medinilla, and yet he has 80 far done so as to send Mr. Boylan his passport to \ leave the island. That this, and the many other un- | provoked outrages which have recently been com- | mitted on British subjects residing in Cuba, ia in re- | taliation for tae capture of Spanish vessels, and the endeavors of the British cruisers to interfere with all | those engaged in the slave trade, there caunot be the | slightest doubt; and it now only remains to be seen how far the English government will permit such outrages to be continued upon peaceable subjects of | | Her Majesty Queen Victoria residing in Cuba. | There will be a great et persons in the United States happy to learn, and it really affords me sin- | cere satisfaction to he able to communicate the first intelligence, that the Belgian Consul at Santiago de Cuba, Mr. Verbonggeh, who has now been con- fined upwards of two years in # fort at that place, the | result of another infamous and atrocious conspiracy has at length, mainly through the direct and | earnest interference of the upright Judge Arango, been restored to liberty, dnd the lawsuit, which had | accumulated to $50,000, been decided against his calumniators. Another piece of information will be also received well by those who abominate the horrible traflic in slaves. I haye just learned that the slave schooner Venus is condemned, and sentenced by the Mixed Court to be broken up and burnt. This result is to e ascribed to the fact that the case ayainst her was r that her owners abandoned her; and this is essel that Luna, the Captain of the Port, permitted to leave Havana dori: the night. The owners of the other two, at the in-tigation of parties in high Vt are defending their case: the probability is that the poor old Marqui Esteva, the President of the Mixed Commission, will not dare to condemn them; and the con sequence will be a rence of opinion between the British and Spanish judges, which will re- sult ina toss up for an arbitrator, who will decide with his chief, and, notwithstanding the palpable evidence indicating the illicit trade in which they were engaged, both those vessels will be set at li- | berty. baad P. S.—The political secretary, Don Martin Gali- ano, has received his congé; such is the ramor cur- rently reported this day or two past. It appears the government at Madrid do not approve some of his late extraordinary antics, and have turned him ont. He will remain fn charze of the secretaryship until his successor arrives.

Once upon a time, not very long ago, our ancestors used to afftot a auperoilious indifference to the art of the designer, unless he were a Durer or a Cellini—the proper aim of a wood- cut, in their belief, was to amuse children. Pioture- books and story-books went together to the nursery —the adult mind would have deemed itself depraved by the study of either. We are grown wiser since then. As in literature, we of the present time ea chew great, heavy follos, and demand that the toughest dishes of metaphysics or political economy be served up tous la sauce piguante, 60 that the wrinkles of thought may not unfrequently, in the perusal, yield to the kindly influence of mirth. So in art, we have laid aside the false pride of our fore- fathers, and condescend to admit that a wood cut, however rude, throws no inconsiderable light on a narrative, and that mere words and sentences, how- ever skilfully handled, can never convey 80 truthful or so lasting an impression of a scene or a face as the scantlest portraiture by the designer's pencil. Illustrations are becoming necessary accompani- ments to histories, novels, poems, and magazines— they can only be dispensed with in works of pure ab- stract science. Most of the standard editions of the great writers of the day are illustrated—a few years hence, we shall refuse to admit any work to our library in which the engraver has not had a share. Meanwhile, periodicals are turning to good ac- count the popular taste for engravings and wood cuts. We have now on our table several of the latest issues of illustrated papers and magazines. The January number of the London Art Journal, now in its sixteenth year, fully sustains its past high character. Mr. Ward is introduced to a large circle of acquaintance by an excellent engraving of his “ South Sea Bubble,” which reminds us not a little of Hogarth. We hastily turn over the leaves to Mr. Leslie's “Uncle Toby and the Widow”—a charming plate—in which all the life-like expression of the original is happily preserved. One hardly knows which to admire most—the puzzled phiz of honett Toby, or the coquettish minois of Mr. Wad- man’s relict. Nor should an exquisite plate of Mr. Bell’s “Children in the Wood" pass without a word of eulogium on the softness of its outline and the perfect art with which the light is managed. Jn wood cuts this number of the Art Journal cannot compete with other publications which we shall mention presently, though the portrait of Nicholas Poussin is by no means the worst of the series of the | great masters of art. The first rank in illustrated periodicals is un- doubtedly occupied by the Mustrated Magazine of Art, of which the first number appeared a few days ago. Itis published, we understand, simultaneously at New York and London, by the parties who got up the Exchibitor of the Exhibition of All Nations, in 1851. We have seldom seen more perfect wood cuts than Gilbert's “ Royal Family,” or “ Dr. Johnson Reading the Manuscript of the Vicar of Wakefield to Goldsmith,” by the same artist. The figure of the ‘‘ Duke” in the former is a triumph of art. Greater fidelity to nature could not be attained by the painter in oil. Nor is the scene at Gold- smith's lodgings, in Green Arbor Court, less truthful or less suggestive. How pregnant with meaning the satisfied look of the bluff doctor, no complacent critic at any time! How life-like the sulky aspect of Goldsmith’s face, admirably depict- ing the fretful uneasiness of the author, listening to the perusal of his own manuscript! Geoffrey Chau- cer glows before us in the copy of an old portrait which accompanies his life. Nor are the likenesses of Goldsmith (by Gilbert) or Wellington, less praise- worthy performances. The human face divine has | never received a more perfect rendering than in the pages of this magazine. All the power, all the effect of chiaroscuro which skillful artists can throw into wood engraving, is here exemplified. The text is from experienced and popular pens, and embraces a ' large variety of subjects, combining all the excellen- cies of the old Pewny Magazine with the new-born qualities of the “monthly” and the “review.” The article on an English daily paper will be found interesting by all. The only fault we have to find is the absence of local matter. No magazine of this nature can succeed in this country, unless it contains | both articles and illustrations of local interest to Americans. The publisher of the “ Tllustrated Magazine of Art” lias sent us the first number of the “ History of the Painters of all Nations,” containing a sketch | of the life and works of Albert Durer, with wood en- gravings of a few of his principal performances, We are no admirers of the fumed Albert. For the time in which he lived, we are ready to concede that he possessed a remarkable share of talent; but judging him independently ofextenuat- ing circumstances of time and place, we cannot sympathise with those who extol his merits in high- flown language. Hence, we could have wished that M. Blanc had chosena master of more unqnestion- able popularity to commence his work; but, this consideration apart, we must admit that he has fal. filled his task with conscientious fidelity, and no small skill. His narrative is full and interesting. The plates—copies on wood from steel etchings—are faithful, and exhibit to our mind both the qualities and the faults of Durer. To the libraries of lovers of art, the series, of which this is the initial number, will be a necessary complement. Besides these, each number of Harper's Magazine contains several excellent cuts, illustrations of one of the worst attempts at biography ever published— Abbott's Life of Napoleon. Sartain also presents his readers with good plates; the one now before us --a plate of Claudit’s likeness of the Duke—shows that the progress of art in America is commensurate pursuits. Gilbert's Death-bed of the Duke, will testify. Glea- son's Piclorial is no unworthy rival of the London Mustrated and the Paris Mlustration. The improve- ments which an increasing patronage has enabled the proprietor to make in the style of his cute, render | the Pictorial in every oceupies in onr drawing rooms. We can only wish it, and all the other periodicals we have mentioned, # measoye of success coramensurate with their de serte. Gen.

OUR NEW HAMPOHIRA OORRESPONDENOR. Concoxn, Jan, 87, 1858. False Rumors About the Cabinet—Time of General Pierce's Departure for Washington not yet De- cided on—Amother Great Arrival of Pilgrims st Concord—A Fresh Supply of Tobaceo, Pipts, Oysters and Schrieder, immediately expected there —The New Hampshire Congressional Nomina- tions, §e. The Washington letter writers are again too fast, Gen. Pierce has not written any letter to Mr. Bucha- nan, soliciting his aid in making up tho cabinet, aor to any other man. Nor hashe expressed a prefer. ence for Gov. Marcy, or any other man, to Mr. Bu- chanan, or any other man, as the Now York member of the cabinet. The General will probably make ap his cabinet list a week or ten days before leaving for Washington; but it will not be officially announced until the fourth of March. The precise time of his departure is still undecided on. He will not probe- bly leave here before the 15th of February, and mag not start before the 25th. Agreeably to previous notice given in the Hazate, there has been another great arrival of New York “hards” and “softs,” besides a sprinkling of digtin- guished gentlemen from other sections of the Union, at the Eagle Hotel, yesterday and today. On the register are entered the names of R. W. Judson, Ogdensburg, New York; Samuel H. Wales, Provi- dence, Rhode Island, and Mr. Thomas, late Governor of Maryland. The following gentlemen arrived to-day; and their names having been acoi” dentally omitted on the register, it would be doing injustice not to give them a prominent place in the Henaup:—Frederick Follett, New York Canal Com- missioner; Hon. John Wheeler, Member of Congress cect from New York city; Hon. Mike Walsh, do., do.; Mr. omtaean, of Albapy, democratic elector; Mesasra, Davis, McArthur, editor of the Budget, and Carroll, former editor, of Troy. Your correspondent, “Per .”’ has frequentiy met each oo tase) tlemen in Washington, New York, Albany and "fey, He is now happy to welcome them to the banks of the ‘Merrymake,” and trusts that their call on High Sachem Pierce will be pleasant, and their here satisfactory in every respect. (Mem.—I am to learn that Gen. P. has ordered a few extra boxes of Virginia tobacco, and several dozen new pipes. Major Gibson will also receive a fresh supply of Schreider and Prince's Bays by the afternoon ) The democrats have completed their list of Con- gressional nominations, as follows:—Dist. No. 1— Hon. George W. Kittridge, of New Market, late Speaker of the House; he was renominated yester- day, and received ary vite votes to forty-nine for all others; old district now represented Tuck, free soiler. Dist. No. 2—Hon. George W. Tocrloen is the unanimous nominee, against Aaron P. Hi whig and free soiler, and present postmasterat Nashua; this district is composed of portions of those now represented by General C. H. Peaslee, democrat, and Jared Parkins, whig and free soiler. No. 3— Hon. Henry Hubbard, unanimously nominated for re-election; this district comprises that now rej sented by him, and a portion of Mr. Perkins's. e whigs and free soilers will doubtless re-nominate the latter. In No.1 Mr. Tuck or J. P. Hale will be su ported by the ‘‘allies” against Dr. Kittridge. The prospect now is that the democrats will carry all three of the districts. For the last two mornings the weather has been clear and cold, the thermometer, in a warm ex- posure, indicating four degrees at seven o'clock. Just now there appear to be a great many whig office holders resin their pas and demecrats are appointed to fill them, by Mr. Fillmore’s adminis- tration. It is well understood here that it will be General Pierce’s policy to make the first removals from the ranks of his own professed friends, in all such cases. There can be no doubt about this. Those democrats who thus poop of office in advance will, administra- dc ubtiess, find less favor the Pierce ticn than those even who are unduly pressing their personal applications upon the ident el Mr. Fletcher Webster called to pay his eoenceeaee General Pierce, having been here iatvendin Court, and visiting the family farm at Franklin, PrENNACOOK. Reception of Thomas F. Mengher in Boston. [From tHe Boston Courier, Jan. 26.] The young orator, Thomas Francis Meagher, ar- rived in this city yesterday, in the noon train from Providence. There was quite a collection of persona assembled at the railway depot upon the arrival of the cars, but Mr. Meagher, without waiting to re- ceive their salutation, took a private carriage, and, attended with one or two gentlemen, proceeded to the Revere House. Soon aftcr reaching his hotel, a deputation of his countrymen waited upon him and preeented to him an address of welcome, to which e made the following repl, Gentlemen—I thank you sincerely for the weleome you have given me to the city of Boston. To ssy more would imply that you esteemed a show of words beyond good feelings, and’ gave no credit for the secrets of the heart which find their way to the public car through quiet whispers. Faithful to the principles you speak of in your address—faithful to the republic which ensures their ex- istenee here and promises their growth among all races— 1 trust it will be my fortune so to acquit myself of the duties imposed by the citizenship to which Laapire, that hereafter none of you will have reason to regret the congratulations you this day tender me, or withdraw the confidence "you cordially cxpress. | Though strength I dedicated, in my own native land, to the cause of freedom, has been of no avail, and though, for this reason mai decline the favors you are eager to be- stow, joice in such testimonies of friendship as you have this moment handed me, since they tell me that you are not among the worshippers of mere auccess—gn ex- ample of virtue not confined to this good city, but vailing throughout th> commonwealth—and’ the more ereditable, since in the enjoyment of a great success you have great temptations to do homage only to the brighter fortunes of the world. ‘The actions of men are not to be judged by events—by success or by defeat. Had the ib- erties of Greece perished with Leonidas at Thermopylae, the glorious Sparta would have been still the same." Had the days of Marathon, Salamis and Platw been days of de- feat instead of vietory to Greece, the orator might still have sworn by the sacred memory of the dead.” I am rejoiced to find you cherish sentiments like theso—aenti- ments uttered by Robert Holines, the venerable defender of John Mitchel, the kinsman of Robert Emmet. Hold good to these high sentiments, act upon them, distribute them among the people, let them go forth, and falling upon kindly soil, take root and reproduce in other el and it takes no inspiration to foresce that, in the fruition of such blessings as you enjoy, privi endowed, en- nobled as you are, even the poor country from whose bo- som I have been rudely taken, shall lift up her head, and with gladness gather in the harvest, the seed of which she has long since n»own, watered with her tears, fed with her warmest blood, and, in the coldest hours, nursed with the sunshine of her inoxtinguishable hope. In the evening a supper was given to Mr. Meagher, at the Merchants’ Exchange Hotel. During the evening, in reply to a complimentary toast, Mr. Meagher made the following remarks :— Gentlemen—If the feelings your kindness has awaken- ed in me are to be weighed end measured by the words disposition I haye shown thronghout a short constatent es any ground from impressions whieh inci ©. then indeed there lings whieh throb Words or no words, however, could there be on moment. | this hend the Jeast mistake?

Brown, who was indicted at Newburry, Nu H., for counterfeiting. They proceeded to Buffalo, and Jearned he was teaching school, a few milea Hatin pal where they went, and entered his school, and handcuffed him in the midst of a recita~ tion. In the evening they took the cars for Albany, having him well shackled. Ou Fviday morning, the officers’ eyes being for a moment off of him, he rose from his seat, walked to the door of the car, and sprang from the platform. ‘This was when the cara were about eix miles the other side of Schenectady, and geing at full speed.
