Dr. Ray Palmer, and the Rov, Frederick Tompkins, of London. the latter of whilom benevolent reputation from having raisod large amounts in England for the amelioration of ‘the condition of the freedmen in America—were present, and made the leading addresses in favor of the project. The Rey, Dr. Crosby took the initiative in a brief ad- dress, in which he introduced the English canvasser to the American public, and made occasion warmly to commend the enterprise in which Mr. Tompkins is en- gaged to the patronage of the moneyed people of the Metropolis, Thus introduced, Mr. Tompkins stepped forward to the desk and proceeded to explain the object of his mission to this country, He alluded to the fact that the wantof a public hall, w the great expo- nents of American political, religious thought could be heard, had Jong been felt in London. During the stormy days of the wer, wheu one of the leading expounders of American thought and one of the apostles of freedom aud progress visited London, he (the speaker) had the to be secretary of correspondence on American He bad made all the arrangements for the appearance the foremost of American clergymen before the public im London, and he could not but remember how diif- cult it was to secure Exeter Hall fora single night's lecture, Leading Americans of al! professions bad often visited London, and had passed unuvoticed or in- cognito for no other reason tham because there was no special place where they could make themselves known with the surety of a welcome, and thus a great many opporiunities were lost to the English pubiic, which opportunities, husbanded and utilized, might have been the means of making Englishmen better acquainted with American aflaira. The speaker then proceeded to @ full explication of the manner by which it was proposed partially to remedy this want of mental circulation be- tween the two countries. It was proposed to erect in Loudon—upon ground already secured for the purpose— an international memorial to President Lincoln, which should consist of a building containing within itself both tho requisites of a great international edifice for religious worship, and a hall to be used for secular purposes. Is was proposed that, on Sunday the pulpit should be occu- pied one-half tbe day by an American clergyman, and the other half by some English appointee from the Provinces. This would afford an opportunity to English- men to listen to the great lights of the American pulpit as from time to tline they visited London, and to learn something of Americ: ight and feeling through the leading representatives of both; and was no possi- bility of estimating the incalculable benefit which might accrue from the atilization of these opportunities, Fur- thermore, it was almost every month that some repre- sentative of the leading American thinkers—soc: political or literary—visited London; and by the Inter- national Hall it was proposed to uttlize their visits to the benefit of English knowiedge of America and Ameri- cane, The regents, portion of the addreas of Mr. Tompkins was devoted to an exbibition and explanation of plans for the building, after which the Rev, Dr. Ray Palmer was introduced, Dr. Palmér alluded in the beginning to the present state of American feeling towards England, expatiated at considerable length on the elements of permanency and progress in modern civ ion, as comtrasted with the elements of decomposition and speedy decay in that of the ancients, and concluded with a commendation of Mr, Tompkins’ ‘project to the american public, At the conclusion of Dr, Palmer's address the audi- ence were dismissed, rs, of AN ELECTION WAGER.
