From the coatempiatica, the cold- est And most unpatriotic heart may gather warmth and inspiration. America is proutot them Their history isher history From its rarliest in/ant struggles to its present #iae and widening power, the comprean of their majestic character has been stamped upon her institu. tions.

From the landiag oa Plymonth to the present day we can poiut to an uabrokea lime of statesmen, atl blending their power and conse- crating their energies to the advancement of their com mon country. And, sir, one trait to which you alladed I wish to particoularze, that te, their honesty of purpose. ‘Uhere is, sir, a deep significance in this language, pon which we might fittingly ponder; it was this whicd. above everything wise, gave character and immortality to the statesmen of the revolution.

The dinner was given in Gotbic Hall, Brooklyn, and about two hundred and fifty sat down to a table sumptuoasly farnished with all that was inviting to the palate. Alderman Backhouse presided, baving on his right the guest ot the evening, Mr. Rhodes. After the eating was over, several lotters were read trom variou: mtlemen, expressing their re- gret for their inability to be present, The Hon. Joun H.

ABREOT OF OVER FORTY DISREPUTASLE WOMEN— ‘The Fire Department Committee of the Board of Al- SOENB AT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE--THRIR COMMIT MENT TO BLACKWELL'S ISLAND. In accordance with an order issued by the Mayor on Tues. day last, between forty and fifty dirreputable women, who were found walking in Breadway, Mercer, Elm, Crosby, and other streets, after nightfall, were arrested. The exe- cution of this order was intrusted to Captains Kissner and Turnbull, who were instruted to arrest all who might be found in the Eighth and Fourteenth wards. These worthy officials detatled s number of the policomen un- der their command to assint them, and before ten o'clock the station houses of both wards were crowded with women, Sone of these refused to go with the officers until told that they would be if they offered any resistance, while others exhibited the most perfect indifference, and accompanied them without a word of complaint. A mother begged that her daughter might be spared the additional diagrace of being brought before the public, and promised, if they would release her, t> start for the country by the first train of cars. Her en tresties, however, wero in vain; no exception could bo madein her case, and the daughter was accordingly committed with the rest. ‘The news of the arrest of these spread like wildire mong the others, and in an hour after Broadway tmth the other streets were almost completely deserted b: them. lt is particularly deserving of cotloe that 4 men were taken into custody, although several were found im the company of these women. The order of the Mayor, it appears, cid not extend to them, and #0 were allowed to pass unnoticed. This certainly was a distinction without « difference. About eleven o'clock Judge Bogart mace his appearance at the station house over Centre Market, and demended the discharge of se- veral of the jsoners, but was promptly refused by arlow, and so the Justice was obliged to leave without effecting his purpose. Many of the un- fortunate creatures who were locked up in the Eighth ward station house were elegantly dressed, but those who were committed to the Fourteenth were of the poorest class, and many of them appeared to'be in a state of destitution There were none to look after these—they seemed to be friendices, avd to the majority of them the accommodations of the station houses were superior to thore they have been accustomed to. Yesterday morning, they were all taken tothe Mayor's office, and ax they marched in procession throngh the streets, they were followed by crowds of several hundred people, Upon their arrival at the City Hall, they pre- rented a motley appearance, and as the sight was some- what unusual, the officials thronged to the jor’s of- fice to learn the caune of the excitement.
