Williams, of Maryland, General Joho Uad- wallader, General Thoma’ and others. Among the Colonels of Welsh origin he claimed Colonel Ethan Allen, Colonel James Williams, who fell at King Mourtain, David Hamphreys and others. Besides several clergymen of mach distinction at that riod, amopg whom was the Rev. David Jones, he showed that er Williams, who, hinself, was re lated to Oliver Cromwell, and born in Wales, in 1599, was the first man who ever planted a democracy in this country on the basis of civil and religious liberty, on the Providence Plantations of Rhode Island ; and that William Penn, of Welsh descent, and from a Welsh family of Tudors on bis mother’s side, founded a government in Pennsylvania based upon civil and religious liberty. Roger Williams’ de- mocracy preceded the Declaration of Tip gt by 139 years. Duriug the colonial period of the thir- teen old States the Welsh emigration to thiscounti ‘was quite large, especially to New England, Philadel- hia and Virginia, and exercised considerable in- ence upon the affairs of the country. Philadel- phia asa oy Say, be considered as the stronghold of the early Welsl ell tot to this country. The first Mayor of Philadelphia was a Welshman, An- tbony Morris, and,‘ also, the first Mayor of New York after the change of government, was of the same race. The address was remarkably well received, and was repeatedly and enthusiastically applauded. At its conclusion, a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered to the speaker. A request was also unani- mously made that he would repeat the same on some future and favorable occasion, and after- wards furnish a copy for publication, which was assented to. A vote of thanks was also tendered to the Rev. Mr. Davis for his services, and to the officers of the church for the use of the building. A vote of thanks was alao tendered to the Presi- dent of St. David's Society for his exertions in its behalf, when, after a iction from the Rey. Mr. raged their attentions, but not withou! many as to the cause of fo much grief. These were not made, however, in an unkind or deprecia- tive manner, she bad inspired too much interest for scandal to find a chance for a whis- per. It was observed whenever Letitia (as we will call her) returned from her visits into the country, for a day or two afterward her melancholy becam¢: more ‘than usually profound. Ove evening a woman, evidently from the couatry, entered the store and inquired fur Letitia, who on seeing her, ran with an appearance of deep anxiety to meet her; she conducted her to the sleeping apartment devoted to her use. Half an hour peed when the proprietor, observing her absence, sent a domestic toinquire after her, who returned with @ message that Letitia was indisposed, and begged permission to remain in her room until morning. When morning came the lady of the house, not seeing her at the usual time, went up to her chamber to inquire after her health. She knocked at the door, but receiving no reply, became alarmed, and a locksmith was sent for to open it. On entering, the poor girl was found lying on the bed dead. On the table lay.a letter which explained the cause of her unhappy suicide, Five previously, the young lady, who had been left an orphan at twelve years of age, was a Principal teacher in a boarding school of high standing, at a not very consiterable distance from the city. A young manof family had persuaded her to accompany him to this city unJer a solemn romise of mari ree The birth st casipa ri was consequence. The young gentleman spoke no more of marriage, but ieistea” that his unhappy victim should abapdon her child. Indignant at such @ proposition, she left her seducer, putting the little creature out to nurse. It had become the sole object of all her earthly affections. She obtained employment at the store in question. Notwith- standing the sad prospects that her fault had en- tailed upon her, she consoled herself by visiting her offepring during ber hours of liberty, The woman who had called upon her, just before the last catas- trophe, was the nurse of her child, of whose death abe brought intelligence. The only tie that held the sufferer to earth was broken, she therefore de- prived herself of an existence that was ooly a prolon- gation of unavailing sorrow. Many regretted her early death—few knew the cause that led to it. e Court—Special Term. OPINION AS TO THE GUARDIANSHIP OF A CHILD.

In the intervals between the fi ig of the various pieces tne Yorkville Brass Band, under the leadership of Mr. Twomey, dis- coursed most eloquent music to a large and ap- plauding assemblage. During and after the pyrotechnic display, a large party, consisting of the members of Aqueduct Ea- gime Company No. 47, their ludies, children, and friends, to the number of a hundred, were enter- tained in the most hospitable and liveral manner by M.

As a finale to & most delight- ful evening of real enjoyment, the band Mg ssf serenaded the ladies on the balcony of Mr. Ree1’s house, for which they received from their fair au- dience unqualified applause, not only for their courtesy, but also for the artistic style in which the several pieces were executed.
