The dining room of the McHenry House had been tastefully arranged for the grand banquet which was ten- dered Sir Morton Peto and his friends last evening. The apartment was decorated with evergreens and flowers, while the entrance was arched with a graceful groupmg of the English, Spanish and American colors, surround. ing a large portrait of Mr. McHenry. The party sat down at nine o’clock to a substantial dinner, the discussion of which received additional attention from the sharpened appetites of the guests after their journey through the regions of Petrolia, A band of music occupied the ante- room to the dining apartment, and interspersed the cere- monies with music. ‘The addresses following the dinner were frequently and loudly applauded, demonstrative of the harmony and bon hommie which characterized the gathering. THE DINNER. The chair was occupied by Mr. L. Hommedieu, the President of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, upon whose right was seated the distinguiehed guest of the occasion, Sir Morton Peto. THE WELCOMING SPEECH. Mr. Reynoups, the former President of the road, rose and welcomed the party in a pertinent address, They were there, he said, to testify as to what was thought of the great enterprise which had been’ accomplished through the instrumentality of their guests then present, It was a matter of the greatest gratification to welcome them, not only for the material but the moral aid which they bad given—moral because of the trust and con- fidence which they had manifested in American affairs; and whatever trouble politic'ians™might endeavor to bring about, it was now an established and recognized fact that among the wealthy and enlightened on both sides of Atlantic there was a community of interest and feeling which would ever be preservative of peace. He congratulated them on the Lindy sored of their invest- ment in this country; and it was further cause of cou- SS that they’had met with no broken promises, bat had been guaranteed to them had been ful- filled. The present enterprise was peculiarly one of Euro- pean aid, and the country ,was indebted to them for the vast moans which had enabled it to be carried to a successful completion, He had no doubt they would, moreover, go im] with the vastness of the Tesources and traffic already indicated and ex, in the 9 ration of the road, In conclusion, he w @ health of Sir Morton Peto, to whom, as m' any single man, was the success tb enterprise indebted. Sir Morton was the same, it was to be remembered, who resigned his position in Parliament to carry out a most philanthropic undertak- ing :—via., the supplying of the army in the Crimeaat a time when the proper subsistence of the ae ee 80 necessary, and this without a cent of remu mn. He (the speaker) saw before him Mr. py oy Paris, to whom aleo much gratitude was due for the energy which had been thrown into the road since he had on- listed in their cause many who had #0 contributed, and had been one of persevering friends on the other side of the water. Apart from those connected with the road he saw other distinguished gentlemen and he wished them all wel- come. To Mr. Cossham every American felt indebted for his championship of the federal cause. He would finally propose the health of Sir. Morton Peto, Mr. Cosshaimn and our European guests. SPEECH OF SIR 8. MORTON PRETO. Sir Mortoy Pero, in responding, said:— Mr. L’Hommedieu and gentlemen—I return for myself and friends our hearty thanks for the handsome manner in which our names were introduced and referred to by this assembly. You, Mr. Reynolds, have aaid that there is a debt of gratitude due to me. Allow me to say that you are tor once mistaken. The person to whom you owe all thanks and al) gratitude is Mr. James MeHenry loud cheers) and his engineer, Mr. Kinnaird (loud cheers). ‘ou have said, sir, it was a matter of astonishment that at the time ‘of the great conflict in this country Europeans should have come forward, and by materiat aid ip the construction of large public work, have shown confidence in your country and {te institutions, It is only a repetition, sir, of the graceful expression of opinion by your President iast night, when he said that all that was required was a better nuderstanding between the countries. The fact is that Mr. MéHenry, though an American, has lived along time in England, and has obtained the kind regards and confidence of a large circle of capitalists. r. McHenry brought this enterprise before his friends, explained fully ite position and Its prospects, and the result was their placing in his hands the necessary capital, which has resulted in the construction of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway. Thus, sir, it is, as | have bat Sd that to Mr. Me- Henry, and not to myself, is there any gratitude due. (Loud cheers.) There is another gentleman to whom you are all especially indebted—the able engineer of the undertaking—Mr, Kinnaird. (Loud chesrs.) I need ‘not do more than reiterate what I said last night with regard to his energy and his talent, We were prevented from arriving here at the time expected night by ciroumstances over which no talent could ex- ercise control, and w: vented; but, sir, I quite ant been Sunday night or Monday mornit would have been restored from the effect of the severe thunder storm; but such has been the energy dis- played, t! I have just Jearned that it has already been Tepaired, and the trains are running regularly. Sir, could have pre- this is one of the exeurplifications which show the di ence between a man of ordinary ability and one of man spells the and the other spells word ‘Opportunity.’ You have made allusion, sir, to the assistance rendered by my firm to the British govern- ment at the tall of pol, but, gentlemen, I simply did what any man would have dono, namely, his duty to his country; but this act of mine fell far short éf what hundreds of thousands of Americans have done for their country. Tran into no danger, and incurred no risk, bat your countrymen have given their lives to the cause of protection of their Union, and have preserved their country intact, Sir Morton, in responding to the toast, “England and America—may they be united in the bonds of friendship and in the cause of liberty and of progress,” con- tinued :— I deeply regret the absence of the Honorable A, Kin- naird, who should have responded to this toast, He, howe has gone to Washington to pay bis respects to the Prosident of the United States, and cannot, i our party again at Cincincati, I jowever, refuse to respond to a sentiment so fully in accordance with every sentiment of my heart and vibrating with every feeling I possess. (Loud cheers.) There is nothing 80 much to be deplored, nothing so much to be avoided, a8 the slightst alienation between the two peoples; but, sir, the frank, omy | and out spoken manner in which you did us the honor last night to speak on this subject, induces me also to speak without the slightest reserve, The policy of the government of England has been a policy ‘enon intervention and of strict neutrality, and Amorica ia too powerful, too great, too just and too independent to ask more than non-interference in her domestic concerns, and I beg to say distinctly that such wis the rae A of Lord Imerston'’s administration through. out the whole of the t le through which you have passed and which now happily has terminated ; I may add also my belief that there can no cause arise in which mutual differences may not be settled by calm explanation and friendly negotiation. (Loud cheers.) You have mado great sacrifices for your coun- try. ‘ou have expended treasure and blood in sup- rt of the great principles of human freedom, and I lieve that, deeply as we may deplore the blood which has flowed, the result of the struggle will be to cement a bond of union which no future time will ever sever. {eighty debe.

(Laughter.) Look at the railway whose com- pletion we, are here celebrating. Why, it has cost one sixtieth of your ontire national debt, and yet it has been subscribed mainly by foreign capitalists during the period of your struggle, the receipta show it to be a highly ‘remunerative investment. Again, let me refer to another fact: We pay in London on cab hire and omnibus hire yearly, in that single city, as much as the income and property tax of our entire kingdom; and when | look to the enormous development and rapid increase of the wealth of your country—when I look, the oi! districts over which I have passed to-day, 1 saw evidences of unexampled wealth and prosperity on every side, and where I saw in one place where on the 1st of June last not @ single shanty had been erected, at the nt time, on this 9th of Baptecnber, four bon- houses finished and inhabited, two churches built, six banks cetablished, two telegraph stations and the ex: tension of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, began only four months singe, within a month of its comple- tion—I say, sir, en I see such facta as thi there is ‘nothing in your debt which create anxiety or make you feel you have ineur- red responsibility which you cannot honorably meet. I say, sir, though we cannot too much deplore ail the blood shed and its lamentable conse- quences, there is nothi for you to deplore im your future. You have only to base your taxation equitably, fairly and in such @ transparently honest way that every class may see that none are exce] Qnd none are unfairly treated. Be trae to yourselves, and the world will not be slow to appreciate your post- tion and do you full justice. (Loud and prolonged cheering. ) REMARKS OF MR. HANDEL COSSHAM. Mr. Cossuam, in responding to the compliment to his name, deprecated the flattering W nga which Mr, Rey- olds had bestowed upon him and his conduct as regard- ed the American question. No praise was due to him in particular. It was a question in which all were inter- ested, and he was but interested with the rest of the world in the great cause. He believed that there was no time when the meetings of Englishmen were not in favor of the Union and the government of the United States, If any hesitation was manifested in advocacy of the cause it was through a doubt that the federal government was not sincere in its war for the preser- vation of human liberty. A few there were who opposed, but the heart of England was with the government; and further, he would state that the reform party would have been placed in power before this time had it not been through a wish not to embarrass the government by the changed relations ensuing, and therefore injure the people of the United States, He united with Sir Morton in thinking that the more they knew the better they world like each other. He was made aware by this visit of the vast resources of the country, and, in conclusion, he hoped that the two flags would ever blend together as gracefully as they do to- night, and that peace would always exist between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race. Three enthusiastic cheers greeted Mr. Cossham ag! termination of his remarks, and the band jolmed im demonstration with a spirited rendition of “Yi Doodle.” The chairman then proceeded to announce the regular toasts of the evening, and first gave “Queen Victoria and the royal family,” which was drank standing, the band playing, the entire assemblage joining in the anthem, “God save the Queen,” with most impressive effect, REMARKS OF MR. LEON SILLO. The next toast, “Her Majesty the Queen of Spain,” was responded to by Mr. Suto, He returned thanks for her Majesty the Queen Mother of Spain, and her hus- band, the Duke of Riansares—names he could never pronounce without the greatest respect and emo- tion. In their name, and particularly for the Duke of Riansares, he’ expressed the most heart. felt wishes for the prosperity of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway. He would also express their wishes for the success personally of Mr. Jamex McHenry, whom it would always be their delight to assure of their sympa- thy and confidence. Tho speaker expressed bis individual sympathy for this country, to which he was now allied by the ties of a marriage in'bis family and by friendship with the principal promoter of the present great enter. prise, which had been so successfully accomplished through the honesty, intelligence and activity of one whose motto ever been ‘Time, faith, ene! ”’ @ motto signifleant to every one that aseombly—the motto of also hia Duke of Riansares, who had not forgotten the pleasure of their moeti: at Paris, In the financial view of our affairs, the national debt was a mere bagatolle. In began he Nes erage the regrets of many promi- nent Europeans at their inability to be present, particu- larly Salamanca bimeelf. ti third toast, ‘Tne President of the United States,”’ ‘was announced and received with three cheers, and an oxtra one—the band playing the ‘Star Spangled Ban- ner." Mr. L'Hommepinv, at the conclusion of the air, ed leave to mention the coincidence that it originated from the seige of Fort McHenry, a name so esteemed by them. REMARKS OF HON. J, ROBERT WALKER. Hon, Rowert J. WALEER, the respondent, regretted hie inability to do justice to the toast to the honored Chief Magistrate of the United: States. He had been so long confined to figures of finance that he had almost forgotten the figures of rheto- ric, Still, such & toast could never fail to inspire the deepest enthusiasm in the heart of every loyal American. He was emphatically the President. He had been chosen by the votes of the people,gand laced in the highest position im the civilized, world, hile enthusiasm would always be excited such a toast, there were circuinstances connected with its sub- Ject which evoked the deepest emotion. That Presi- dept was a son of toil, a child of labor, who rose from the humblest walk of Life, with- out money, rank or patronage, to the ‘highest office in the United States. His progress bad not been sudden, but by succeeding gradual steps. He (the speaker) had known bmx from — his first entrance into public life. He was the son of the Sunny South, born in one of the seced- ing States, raived ‘and nurtured in another (in Tennessee), under Andrew Jackson, whose motto ‘aud teaching were: “The Union, must and shall be P ” Although elected by what was known as the Union party, he had of the demo- cratic party, but in the © untry he tore ag. sunder all party ties. The speal next recalled the advancement of President Johnson to his present posi tiou, an allusion to his lamented predecessor calling forth appropriate demonstration of respect for his memory. The transition from the adminis. tration of one President to that of another, with. out confusion or anarchy, was evidence of the soundness and excelignce of the Federal Constitution. In view of the two commingled flags,he would institute no compari- son between hereditary and elective chief magis-- trates. The biood shed im the late , drreadful war was the last sacrificial offering on the altar of liberty. In conclusion, he hoped for even more cordial union of the two great coun- tries, and that their flags never be at variance.’ Tho fourth toast—‘‘England and America,” responded to as above by Sir Morton Peto, was read in the most enthu. siastic manner, the guests re | and giving three cheers, while the band piayed ‘‘Auid Lang Syne. ‘The next toast, “Our Guests from Europe—the promo- tors and supporters of the Atlantic and Great Western Raliroad,’) was appropriately responded to by the Hon. Mr, Hull, from Liverpool. ‘The toast, “The Atlantic and Great Western Railway and ite ally the Erie Ratiway—In union there is srength," was responded to by Mr, Gayle and Judge urcl REMARKS OF JUDGR CHURCH. The speaker paid a glowing compliment to the enterprise of nos, and the indomitable emergy of Kinnaird in ouraging and unde taking the ere work whi to celebrate, le consid tee against a foreign war, invested seventeen or eighteen millions in this one @ terprise.

The Press Despatch. Fortress Movron, Sept. 8, 1865. The amount of telegraphic business being transinitted over the lines between this place and Baltimore is very light, not occupying a quarter toa third of the time in- side of usual business hours. It is a matter of surprise that the telegraphic facilities are not extended to the press under the circumstances. The mystery in regard to the corpse shipped to Web- ster, Massachusetts, on the 25th ult, is solved. It was shipped by Lieutenant Robinson, Assistant Quartermas- ter at Nowport News, and was the semains of his step- father, Nathan Childs, who died there a month ago. There was a box of tools shipped at the same time, and the address of the two boxes got changed, thereby send- ing the corpse to the wrong party, and the tools to the bercaved friends.

Tar Devication or tHe Fivry-tamp SteeRt Martier Cuvron, near Seventh avenue, took place yesterday, and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a fair congregation was in attendance during the interesting re- ligious ceremonies of the occasion. The dedication ser- mon in the morning was preached by the Rev. J. W. Hallman, who took for his text, after reading the ninth chapter of Solomon, the eighth verse of that passage of Scripture— Whosoever is simple let him come hither, "’ The reverend gentleman spoke at considerable length, engaging the strictest attention of the audience during his remarks on the beauties of the House of Wisdom and the teachings of the Almighty, who invites all to enter his Mansion House of eternal bilss, Several appropriate hymna were exeouted in fine style by the choir at various times during the services. A collection was also taken up to aid in the completion of the church. The basement of the building, in which the dedication was held, ix the only part as yet completed, and is sixty-five by cighty feet. It will cost four thousand dollars to finish the church, which sum the o gation are laboring hard to realize, Service was held three times in this church yes torday, and the collections amounted to a fair sum.

The termination of the war of the rebellion commences 4 new ora in tho history of the United States. Our gov- ernment is no longer an experiment; its power and sta- bility have been thoroughly tested, and it has emerged. from the trial in the full glory of victory, without having had occasion to avail itself of a tithe of the resources © which were at its command. Henceforth the great re- public will onward with an iron will and a giant’s, strength to the accomplishment of that destiny prodicted| for it by ite statesmen, and upon which the faith and the hearts of its people are fixed. NECESSITY OF A REVISION OF OUR FORRIGN RELAG ‘TIONS. One of the 1mmodiate results of returning peace should ‘be the revision of our relations with foreign ments, expecially with those that by their poltey during, our recent struggle for national existence evinced ade aire toaid in the overthrow of the republic and the destruction of ite institutions, There has never been a moment during the past balf century when the Ameri, can mind bas not been prepared to carry out in ite widees and most comprehensive sense the doctrine denies to any European Powor a foothold on this cont. nent. If this fundamental American principle has beem held in abeyance it has been from considerations affecting: our domestic affairs alone, and not from any doubt either of ts wisdom and justice or of its ultimate establishment, While slavery oxisted in the States it formed « political’ barrier against the extension of our northern boundaries, and induced the toleration of British authority in Canada. The rebellion has exterminated slavery, and bas thua stripped the question of ite chief embarrassment. It haw done more than this: it has placed practically before the eyes of the American poople the evils result- ing from such geighborhood, and has proved to them that the safety of the nation can only be permanently secured by placing the Atlantic ocean as a barrier be- tween the American republic and the jealousies and in- trigues of European Powers. Those Powers must bo given to understand that the time has arrived for a full development of repablican goverument upon the Ameri- can continent, and that the people of the United States will not regard the rebellion against their national existence as wholly exterminated, nor the sacrifices they have made as satisfactorily compensated, until’ those adjancts of the rebellion, the monarchies of Europe, shall no longer threaten us at our own threshold. PROJECTED PLOTS OF THE REBRLA IN CANADA, ‘That during our struggle against rebellion we had for our closest neighbor a Power that was at heart desirous of the destruction of our government, and that openly sympathized with the Southern cause and secretly afforded to the rebels all the comfort and encouragement 18 its power, isa fact too well established to be denied. The welcome extended by the provinces to the eminsariea of the Davis government, the immunity they enjoyed while employing the rebel funds in organizing a system of warfare against us, alike repugnant to civilisation and, revolting to humanity, are fresh in the remembrance of all our citizena, But it is not so generally known that in the hands of our Consul General in Canada are at the present momont convincing proofs that a serics of attacks by marauding parties upon our borders was designed and &e, prepared to follow the discharge of the St: Albans raiders, and that but for the suddem downfall of the Davy; government our lake cities would have been given up to plunder and arson, while the perpetrators of the crimes would bave rejoined their compatriots and sympathizers in Canada, and, like the St, Albans robbers, have escaped punish ment. “ ‘The vessels intended to be used in these raids were already secured, and among their crews would have been found many of the subjects of Great Britain, It is pro- bable that if some of the Southern patriote now on the road to beggary in Canada should attempt to return to the country they plotted to destroy, the proof of their contemplated iniquity may be adduced, ’ SYMPATHY WITH THE REGRLLION THE EFFECT OF, BRITISH BXAMPLE. ’ The masses of the Canadian people, tn their sympathy, with tho South, unthinkingly followed the cue given them by their British ralors. In their hearts they were: strongly opposed to the institution of slavery, which lay at the foundation of the Southern confederacy, Their true sentiments were with the republicans of the North, with whom they naturally affiliate, But every British upstart, every officoholder and employe of the British crown, raised the popular outery for the rights of the South, and the careless masses, generously predisposed to side with the weaker party, joined in the shout without consideration. To this day the military bands that play in the public garden of Quebec eschew all the national airs of the republic, but mever fail to gratify their audience with the strains of “Dixie” and tho “Bonnie Blue Fing,’’ and the rebel tunes are certain to elicit applause from the British flunkeys for whow Gratification they are selected. THE HOSTILE DESIGNS OF BUROFE. Tt ie a well ortablished fact that neither the govern- mont of England nor France anticipated the downfall of the Southern rebellion.
