8 ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTHDAV OF HENRY CLAY, Grand Banquet at the Metropolitan Hotel. “SAM” AT THE FESTIVE BOARD. Speeches of the Rev. Sam. Osgood and Others LETTERS FROM HON. JOHN P. KENNEDY AND EX-GOVERNOR HUNT. SONGS—SENTIMENTS, dic. d&e., deo. ‘Ihe members of the Clay Festival Association cele- brated their tenth anniversary in memozy of the birth- day of good old Harry, the immortal sage of Ashland, yesterday evening, at the Metropolitan Hotel. The Metropolitan is becoming prover2ial for its public din- ners; the Delta-Phi fraternity dine here to-day, and the St. George’s Society will have their banquet here on the 3d inst. But to the present ‘feast of reason and flow of soul.” A sumptuous repast was spread before up- wards of two hundred and thirty gentlemen. The bill of fare presented everything that the epi- curean taste of the most fastidious could desire, and the wines wereexcellent, The programme itself was tly designed, with a portrait of Henry Clay at the head, underneath which were the following memorable words of the never to be forgotten and immortal dead:— I implore, as the best blessing which Heaven can be- stow apon me, that if the diretul event of the dissolu- tion of this Urion is to happen, I shall not survive to behold the sad and heart-rending spectacle. On either side of -‘the sage”’ were the following beau- tiful lines:— ‘There are, who have no sculptured stone, Who ask, nor word nor flowing line; But live in nations’ hearts alone. ‘And are the nations’ worship shrine! Men, who in atermy hours have Like those serene, immortal Who, with a Spartan valor fought, An gave the world its warathcns! What thousand, thousand leaping hearta Breatbe up @ high and bo! the icol of our vales and mar From whom, as from the polished steel, The radiance of the sun is cast, The hate of those who mock’a his weal Sball tremble into darkness past! While upward, he, Upon the ages’ b: ‘The light of lan His lightorng spirit burst in twain— When, ’mid the Grecian’s waning light, And, o'er Bolivia’s bondage night, Woere valor’s eteel was scarcely trae, His word, « flaming bow, he vhrew, And, from oppression’s stormy waves, Relvased, in part, a clime of slaves, Whose millions heace spall bear away The memory of Henry Clay ! ‘The American flag graced each end of the room, and ut the back of the chair there was a bust of him whose memory the mseting honored; a" the base of which was appropriately placed the portrait of the late Nat. B Blunt, a faithful follower of Mr. Clny, and who at the last anuiversary of the association made a forcible and touching speech upon the virtues of his great political exemplar. Te chair was occupied by Dr. E, V. Price, on whove right at the Rev. Dr. ‘Samuel’ Osgood, Messrs. James Brooks, Jobn N, "eynolds, Kx: Sheriff Carnley, and N. G. Bradford; on the left, Hon. J. Dixon Romeyn, Henry Grinnell, M. R. Brewer, J. P. Knapp, George W. Quia. tard, Dr. J. R Wood Amongst the other gent'emen as- sembied were D. D. Conover, President of the Board of Councilmen, George H, Franklio, Governor Duke, Dr. B. Trake, Aldermen Ely, Baird, and other members of tho Ctty Council ‘The Vice Presidents were—Smit> J. Fastman, Alfred G. Peckham, Allen Hay, David Webb, James Green, John T alten . Grace having been impressively implored by the Rev. Mr. Osgood, the company proceeded to discuss the good things set before them. After the cloth was removed. The acting President, Mr. E. V. Price, said—The dial of time bad mareed the pr g2 of another year, and they hac met to celebrate another auniversary of Henry Clay. Inaccordance with custom, they had dered the chair to Mr. Erastus Brooms, of the State mate. but the committee had received a note from thi gentlemaa, which was read, excusing his non-attend- ance cp the ground of public business. ‘The first regular toast was then croposed:— 0 The 12tu of Aprit, 177—A marked day in ournational ca- a the birthday of Henry C Musio—"Here's to lay. 9 CI9y. e Song by Mr William @, Mickell, which was received with applause. The second toast was then proposed— The Politica! Principles of Henry Cliy—Safe enides to Tresent and future statesmen.

The K v. Dr. OsGoop responded. He said:—Mr. Preai- dent, I bardly feel imclined to take this conspicuous po. sition. ‘The expectation was that some distinguished gentieman would lead off. I expscted only to have been tue private. In appearing here, he desired to be cist-nctly understood, He desired to be himself, He was neitier politician or partican. (Applause.) Hs only connection with politics was that he cast an honest citizen's vote at each election, (Cheers.) How that music, “ft in the Stilly Night,’’ went to thetr hearts! It is x song of other There seems to be something in it which starts onr pa- triotic asscciations. And im connection with tl great man's memory it was an appropriate air, for *‘oft im the sully night”? they nad hearl Heary Ciay’s voice, and his voice was the music of the country. That art in which Americans have particularily distin guisbed themselves has been eloquence. They had had great things to do, and their orators had told them how to do it, (Applause.) Here every has acause to plead, and freedom ‘to plead that cause. (Great a) plause.) This should make them a nation of orato: and therefore the name of Henry Clay would be more honored as years rolled ou, It is sometimes aaid that a poet is born, and an orator is made; but th true only in s limited sense, The orator’ must have < thoughts that feei and words that burn.” He must bave tbat electric fire which alone can give. The orator commemorated this evening wae educated in the schoo! of natural history. When the nation was a child he was a child, and when the nation becamea man he waea man. (Applause.) Clay was remarkable for his naturalvess. His tone was usually a colloquial tone. He was true to nature, He spoke not because he wished to say something, but because he had something to aay, ano the waute of his time gave him always something to elucidate, He must not consume much time, but he would say that} they should remember that oratory was one thing and the cause which fa man pleads for {s another. Heory Clay spoke for his country. The great tacts of hie country were the orn» men’s of his eloquence. (Applause.) To hiia the very surface of the country was van expressive face, seeming to beam to him with intelligence, The mountains were the vertebrm, and the rivers the great arteries of the system which he wor shipped, so that when he spoke of the country his elo- quence was true; and whether his part‘cular views be carried out or not, his spirit is destined to triumph. When California calls to the West, then the goniusof Henry Clay triumphs, an3 American industry fully jue. Gifies” hia highest visions, He was proud of the name ‘American citizen, and so was Henry Clay. He might aay that be who is named Samuei, (laughter) nos some claim to that title; and be might justify that claim: by saying that bis father’s house stool on Bunker Hill, and that he gloried in the tune of Yankee Doodle. But they <id rot mean to denounce any man. The American citi- gen wae he who worshipped American ideas, no matter from what country be came—American cicizenship, fair play, and above board—no secrecy—no fighting —Jeauits by Jesuits—but a fair ‘Geld and the spangied banner for ever. (Loud applause.) The day may come when they might do some greater deed of national emprize than bombard the shanties of Greytown,or putapullet into the In ola Nie ated Frenchman. (Laughter and applause.) Henry Clay was always the advocate of liberty. He was nota pro pagandist of bondage. As au orator he knew that any ren who Jent himself to the propagandists of bondage losea the flame of his eloquence. Aud all the blessed words of the dictionary, the words which the ange: heroes and saints of humanity bave breathed, run away irom the word snd spirit of bondage, as the biras fy away from the mow storm. Henry Clay was no propa: gandist of bondage, and he thanked him for that. In clueion he gave the sentiment— American nence—It will cease to be itself when it ceases to be snored to freadom and humanity, Fourth regular toast— ‘The American Systom—PFounded in a vise and comprehen ve patriotism, and ter ding to a fall development of every Jogitimate American interest, its principles are as apptica- ble to our {national representation abrvad as to 07 1 Cy Musio—" Yankee Union, prosperity and power at homo ote’ Hon, JAxHs BRooKs responded in a speech, im ich, amid many foreign words and langoage, he ‘an- Thich, that be bad bitherto 20 knowledge of “Samuel,” but if “Sam”? kept good looking, be might hitch on to him, and gave :— : ‘ The American System—Ilow onn it bo caer ad out, anions erica ¢ (Three eheers ror Sam Americans govern Am Ea ‘The ACTING SECRETARY read the tollo eeny, rehant philanthropist—Distin his intelligence, and tor bis ificent liberality, We hail bim as the early and abiding friend of Henry Cha iy es for Grinnell. ir Henry Griwnxt, answered the call, briefly thank. ing the meeting for the way io which they had honored ‘the toast.

There is conaected —he said—with the past, » link which always connects us with the present, aad gives direction to the future. While men live they ‘have duries to perform, and while this assembly recognized that their leader was gone they recollected that they had his precepts and his memory to cherish, to honor in the past, and to guide them in the iuture.

The American system is that which makes men as well as steamboats and mashinery. (Cheers) In the bar, pul- pit, and commerce, the greatest men had been onee poor boys. (Applause ) It ix therefore the american system which developes the genius of the country. It is so comprehensive, he said, in all its departments that it was scarcely to be touched on at this late hour. He wouid therefore, without attempting to elaborate a thousand reflections which came gushing from hiv heart, fay, that they bad still duties to periorm. ‘they hed obligations to discharge, and the time was come when they must buckle on their armor to defend their common covntry. (Cheers.) They had no divisions, no lines, no sections. Their fag waved over und represented the whole country. Sections! divisions woult spring up. but they were all subordinate to the great principle of nationalits—which was the principle of Henry Clay— namely, the American system — He gave, in conclusion— ‘The Perpetuity of the Tnion—fo bo sustained now and forever, by the union of ali national men, Ninth regular toast:— The Union—The precious lezacy of our fathers. | May we earetully defending it from foes without and foes withis transmit it unimpaired to our children.

D, Romryn, of Maryland, He said at was late woen he was invited to attend this. ban- quet, ana if he had foreseen that he should have had to occupy that conspicuous position, be would not have deen here. He hailed from a State which was first and last to sustain the name of Henry Clay That name Was stronger than his party, ‘Ihe name of Henry Clay always outstripped party ties. They had always in Maryinnd borne his banner triumphantly in the contest. ‘Though he (the speaker) might not have been always in the fight, still he was like the Irishman who was de- scribed by s witness as taking no part in the scrim- mage, Dut was “slashing around”) (Laughter.) Their cause was a noble one, Nothing, he said, can more strongly tend to keep alive the principles of Henry Clay than the regular celebration ot hia birthday. This meeting represented the conservative principle of the country. “Sam,” in the town from which he hailed, (Bagerstown,) has been cutti some antics which have astonished the natives. (Langhter.) The ladies present were evicence of the patriot'sm which animated this meeting. The ladies were patriots everywhere—in Greece, ancient and modern—in England—and in the United states. It is fit, therefore, that the ladies should be here; for, sinee the 4th of July, 1776, senti- ment of the American system bas been to raise them to the position which they should enjoy. | (Cheers.) He, too, hadtravelled. He had been through Europe, and even on the Grampion Hills, like one of his friends’ who had spoken to night.

TERRIBLE SuFFARING AND DeaTH —Haszard’s Ga- zetle published at Charlestown, Prince Edward's Island, gives an account of the suiferings of crew and parsengers of one of the mail boats in wttempting to cross theStraits fof Northumberlané, a few weeks ago. The ice boat con. tained a crew of four men and three passengers. For ‘bree days the party were exposed to a severe storm, without any other food than a spaniel dog, belonging to one of the passengers, which = killed, drank its iood and ate the flesh raw. One of the passengers died from exhaustion, and the others were in a perishing condi tion when a@sistance reached them.

Mary Josepb, the sister whose devotions in the chapel were interrupted by the entrance of the vieiters, was firstexamined, She gave her testimony in so low a tone that she could be heard with difficulty. The sub- stance of testimony was this:—Sbe was in the chapel with the sister who acts ss portress, when the lat- ft her to answer the bell and admit the visiters to ‘the douse; the portress on leaving, shut the door of the chapel and ¢id not return, leaving the witacss alone im the chapel; afterwards the door of the chapel was opened and s number.of gentlemen entered; the witoess continued at her devotious several minutes; she then rose and attempted to leave, when one of the geatlemen laid his hand on her shoulder to detain her, and entered into conversstion with her. On her declining to con- verse in that place, he followed her to tne entry, where he continued bis conversation During the conversa tion he pointed to her crucifix and rosary suspended at her side, and appeared to be about to take them in his band; she put down her hand to take them in her owa bands to prevent him, and is not sure whether he touched them or not; he snook her hand; the questions he asked her were tt whether she liked her present life; whether she could leave when the chose; whether she ‘would not be glad to return to the world, when she said no; why not? she said abe was very happy where she ‘was; he avked herif she would not like to go to Mentreal; she answered this in tho xegative; he asked her why; sbe said, “« We don’t go about from one convent to au ther,” the gentlemen made a good deal of noise in the chapel; there was loud talking there: there were veveral attempts to enter the chapel by the door that was locked; she heard the bandle of the ‘door turned; the Superior and sisters would not have tried that door, knowing it was kept locked; she signed the written statement; did not know who wrote it; believed it correct, #0 far as tt relates to herself; was greatly frightened in the chapel. ‘The witness thought she should know the gentleman who spoke with her, if she saw him. fr. Hiss was quested to rise, and she identitied him’ at once as the man In smog 9 questions trom Mr. Hele, the witness stated that the conversation held with her was more familiar than she had ever been accustomed to, aud it was very disagreeable to her, and she sa informed the gentleman; rhe had never been so addressed be- ad exclusive), Q. Was fore; party remained in the chapel several minutes, and talked quité® freely; gentlemen occa- sionally visit the school who are in some way interested in it; sbe told the Superior and some of ti the conversation. She pad not read the article in the Daily Advertiser herself, but heard it read; did not know of any inaccuracies in the parts relating to herselt, other than that the gentlemen did not wear their hats in the chapel. Nobody has ever bandi+d my rosary be- fore, 6 perhaps little children. Atout twenty mi- nutes elapsedafter the portress left the chapel before the gentlemen entesed. Cuarin called attention to the remark of the wit. ness, ‘We doh’t go about from one convent to another,”” and asked if she considered the institution at Roxbur: convent? She replied that they sometimes spoke of it a8 a copvent in familiar conversation; properly it should de called a boarding school. ‘A number of questims were asked by gentlomen, which were answered substantially in accordance with the above. Mr. Bradbury took occasion to aay that he wished to have the article in the Daily Advertiser stripped of its false covering. Mr. GrnvIN reminded the gentleman that he might — his comments for a future stage of the pro- ceedings. tin Caroline Crabb was then called She testified that she wax unwell on the day of the visit; was lying in bea; first knew of the visit by hearing the omnibusses ; drive up; the Superior csme and told her not to be dis- turbed, that the Legislature bad come to examine the houre; toon afterwards the gentlemen came in; she turneo hey face to the wall; she heard their loud talk in the adjoifing room; she dia not see anybody enter ber room by the «oor, but she felt the breath of aman, Jeaping over ber bed. RQ. How do you know it was s man? A. By his breath. Q. How could you tell from the breath that it was not one of the sisters’ A. It smelt like Foe raed (This Loe oa conclusive response caused a little laugh and applause. The witpess stated what she heard of the conversation of the gentlemen; she heard questions that they asked of the Lady Superior as she stood near the door; she beard, the remark— Ob, it is nothing but a’ sick A little while after she had felt the breath of the man, abe raised her head a moment, and two men’s heads looking at her through another d at the foot of the bed; she was very much frightened; the gentlemen & good deal of noise; perhaps not more than would be necessarily made by so many. Ina t to questions by Mr. Hate, the witness sad felt much frightened as she heard the com- mittee ascending the stairs; she had been ill in bed the whole ot the previous night and that day; her chamber opens out of the corner of a large chamber; nobody would have occasion to pass the door, or to come inte the part of the large room where the coor was, except to In answer to Mr. Gorr, she stated that she did not nee the faces of the men who looked in at the bottom of the bed, with sufficient distinctness to identify them. ‘The Lady Superior was again called upon, and asked by Mr. Bradbury if she sbould: have considered the con- duct of the visiters in the main im r if heratten- tion bad not been called to the subject by others? A. Certainly I should, I said wo yesterday; It was myself that thougnt it improper. In answer to questions by Mr. Samvx May, she said she regarded the visit itself, as well asthe behavior of the gentlemen, as improper. This concluced the examination of the ladies. The chairman proceeded to call upon the gentlemen not of the Nuppery Committee who visited the school. Mr Axyxkk HoLsrook, representative from Weymouth, was first cailed.—The visit took place about 11 o'clock. Be did not hear the application tor admission, but saw Mr. Evans speaking with the Superior. He went with the party up stairs, Heard the Superior say ‘‘ here is a child or lady sick;”’ returned to the parlor; the chapel door being opened, entered; founds x or eight gentlemen there, and one sister at, her devotions. Thought the party made no unusual noise. Saw no improper be- avior. ‘ihe party remained in the house fifteen or twenty minutes. Never was received anywhere more courteously. Saw no evidences of fright or fear. In answer to questions by Mr. Harx, the witness stated tbat the party numbered from twelve to twenty. When he heard the superior say “here in a sick cnild”’ he did not go forward to tne door of the bedroom, be- cause (€6] as he was only an invited hg feed did not think it exactly the tning for gentlemen to yk into bedrooms. To look in, it was necessary to go to the corner of the room. A full view of the room could be obtained without going into that corner. Some of the party did go into the corner. ‘The witness said he had read the article in the Daily Advertiser ot Merch 31. Questions by Mr. Hata—Will you be kind enough to point out what you consider inaccuracies or misstate- ments in that article? A. The géntlemen did not wear their hats in the building. Q. anything further? A. Ido not recollect the arti- cle ao partict that I can mention. Mr. Ha1x said it woula consume much time to read the article to the witness, but as it had beem pronounced on the floor of the Legislature ‘ false trom beginning to end,’ and “sot containing s particle of truth,’’ he should desire to obtaim the testimony of this witness ana others, how far it deserved to be thus characterized. He thought all the witnesses wouli admit some portions of it 10 be true. ‘Mr. Grirrty thought that the committee could com- pare the article with the separate testimony, and ascer- tain how much or how little it was founded in fact. ‘Mr Hae raid he had no objection to this course, and to ave time, would refrain from going through with the article with each witn ‘Mr. WittiaM B, May, of Roxbury, was next called. He estimsted the number of the party at fifteen or yeen; thought they stayed at the hoyse about half an hour; the chairman told the porteress that we were a committee Inted to examine that institution and others of ilar nature; he told the Superior the fame, and ery willingly conrented to show us over [presume that I went as near the sick room ybody; I did pot put my head in; did not go within twe or three feet of the door; I made the remark that Trupposed romebody was sick there, and I think all the gentleman immediately went away from that place; no upnecessary noise Was made; m0 appsarance of terror smong the immates of the house; visited the chapel; four or five gentlemen were there; saw nothing unde coming the conduct of gentlemen: I joined the party at the invitation cf the chairman; 1 had atked him to let me join had hesrd po rumor of anything improper at the school; had no reason to suppose there was; had a private on for wishing to see the institution. ions by Mr, Haue—What was tbat private reason’ A.
