LIVERPOOL, Oct. 23, 1868, Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the American Minister, ‘was yesterday presented with addresses from the ‘Corporate authorities of Liverpool and the American Chamber of Commerce, The proceedings were held 4n the Town Hall, which was gaily decorated with the fags of England and America, The city officials, local notables and numerous citizens were present. \ Mayor Whitley delivered a short address of wel- come, in which he said the peace aspirations, like the commercial interests of the two countries, were identical, He closed his speech by reading the ad- firess of the Corporation of Liverpool, a long docu- ment complimentary to the distinguished guest and to his native country. Mr. Johnson replied:—!e would say but little on this occasion; in the evening, however, he would lay bare his whole heart. He would only assure his ‘hearers now that the peace of the two countries was mot likely to be disturbed. The negotiations which had already taken place had given assurances that Mothing in the past or present will affect the peace- ful relations of England and the United States. Two great points of dispute had already been settled ipon terms honorable to both countries, The third woul Icave his hearers to Imagine, but assured them that this, too, would soon be settled, and thus Would be annihilated all peril of a rupture of friendly felations. »The American Vice Consul, H. Wilding, then read Mr. Johnson’s formal reply to the address, the pur- port of which was that tho agricultural, manufac- turing and commercial advance made by one nation Iped both; now that the attempt to destroy the yn had fgiled the trade between Liverpool and Nea States, great as it was, must increase itely, . pS Patterson, the President of the American ber of Commerce at Liverpool, spoke briefly. Rie said the Tapid advance ma‘e by the United States watched with hope and delight by Engiand, and ot with envy. The feeling was all the warmer because the flag of neither country now covers a Ven . ; The address of the Chamber of Commerce was then read. * Mr, Johnson replied briefy. He referred to the Union of the two flags in the hall, and hoped they ‘Would never be diasevered. He declined to respond fo the remarks of the Chamber of Commerce favor- free trade, as he regarded that a question of ive and not diplomatic action. While the ex- iment of England had certainly been successful, and bad resulted in the wealth of both countries, the game experiment might not serve young and grow- ing nations. After lunch Mr. Johnson visited the news room, where he was received with wild enthusiasm. He made a short speech, repeating generally his previous remarks on the friendly relations between England and America, Mr, Johnson, as a guest, then took a steamer and visited the docks and other interesting points on the river. The Banquet. At six o'clock in the evening a grand banquet was given Mr. Johnson at the rooms of the Law Associa- tion. The rooms were tastefully decorated for the occasion. Stewart H. Brown occupied the chair. Among the were Lord Stanley, Right Hon. W. E. Glad- stone, the Bishop of Chester, and many local cele- brities, commercial and parliamentary. About ono hundred gentlemen sat down at the tables, among whom were several re,resentatives of the United States press. The usuat toasts of ‘the Queen of England,” “the President of the Unite: States,” “tne Royal Fam- uy,” “the Clergy of ati Denominations,” “the Army and Navy’ and “the Volunteers” were proposed F responded to, The Chair, after a few words, @ave “ihe health of Reverdy Johnson.” MINISTER JOMNSON'S SPERCH. Mr. Johnson returned thanks for himself and for ils country as follows:— He said he had been reveived everywhere with en- fhusiasm, but he had been warned that he wonld not beso here. He was more than disappointed; he was overwhelmed with tokens of regard. He Knew that the wisdom, sense and patriotism of the le of Liverpool would cause them to forget the Rite st and look with confidence to the future. He ‘was told that persons would attend wham he ought not to meet—who had uided the Sonth. His reply was that such a mecting was most gratifying to him because it affordes an assurance to the ple Ra vernment and to himself that former di es had heen forgotten, and that now the heart of Liverpool, like that of all England, has ‘put one feeling of warm friendship for tho United State. When! remember the war through which our government passed unharmed, so far as its unity 4 concerned, I was satisfied that you would see that the Union still stands on foundations never to be shaken. However some of you may have differed as to the causes and probable results of the war, 1 thought I knew and now realize here and find friends as sincere as anywhere in the realm. Our fathers made a nation. We have shown onr will and ability to matatain it as long as Providence will suffer hu- man society toendure. Mr. J nm then complt- mented the American Chamber of Commerce on its and usefulness, at diated on the expansion The commerce of America aids to aid this prosperity of the nglish laboring men; (ley are partly fed by the United States, and of their industry America shares the fruits because of thelr close connec. tion. Nothing but absolvte insanity on the part of either nation can involve us inaconfict.

We have discarded the tnyst« of diplomacy, frankly said what we wanted, asked nothing not rigut to ask, and may say, 0 far as we have gone, that ail has gone merrily, and we have every reason to think that all wil merrily to the end, What has beer done or Is to be done 1 leave you to ess, In the language of Lord Cok jet this itthe taste sumice.” Ihave spoken at Shonieta and elsewhere of special industry.

LORD STANLEY'S SPREOH. To the toast, “Her Majesty's Ministers,” Lord Stan- ley said:— Accept my warmest thanks for the high honor you have paid me personally and my eolleazues carrving on the executive business of the country. I assure you the value of the compliment is not diminished by the fact that itis on this occasion and in this room, necessarily divested of all partisan signitl- cance, We have all of us seen, I fancy, within the last few weeks and shall have in the few weeks coming, rough party polities. Indeed, if everyho ly were to speak their minds earnestly, I dare say many would say they have had already more than they care for. ‘the general principles on which the external relations Of the country are carried on no longer fall within the limit of political discussion, It is the settled principle of England to respect scru- pulously the rights of every nation, the Weakest a3 well as the strongest, and sorn- pulously as we maintain our own; to study to preserve in the first tnstance the peace of England, and next to that, as far as lies in our power, the peace of Europe and the civilized world; to seek no narrow, no seifish, no ex- chistve object, but to consider that even our mate- rial interests are indissoiubly connected with those neighboring nations who are at once our neighbors and our customers, and in points of honor not too hastily or impetnously resent any real or imegiaed wrong, but rather to willingly submit to the dis- passtonate arbitration of some competent tribunal whatever claims we think we may have upon others, orthe claims others may think they have upon us. These are general rales of conduct which are equally accepted by both great political parties dividing this country, which are equally certain to be carried out by the Foreign Office, whether that departineat re- mains in my hands or passes into those of the follow: ers and colleague of the eminent statesman who ts entertained with me me yon. guest to-night. lt wou'd be a happy day for England, for Europe and for the world when those ideas and feclings which in this country pervade every class of society that desire fur peace and for abslineice from aggressive policy and respect of nationat right’, when I say theso shall be Saray diffused srong: the opulaiions of those great neighboring nation’s of the continent with whom we have so many ties; and not ttll then shail we see an end put to that groatest drawback upon the material progress, that spot of scandal upon the civilization of continental Europe. I mean tie necessity, real or imagined, for those enormous military preparations which have attained propor- tions never approached before, which oppress with this marvel of ti to your wealth, enterprise and skill, Your” Ceocets and scientific men— among Whom, as weil as | remember, are worthy of Mention Charies Bright, Whitehouse, Fara- ‘and Morse, alded by the ir faring energy nevor Gageiring confidence of our countryman, is W. Fiel re Lae this, Howvare we to te; how could we have the heart to stop the career, to prevent ihe result of the joint efforts, the joint skill which proinises so much advantage and shower 80 many blessings on the whole habitable he. We expect to remain under the government now enjoy. You expect to remain under that taxation, depress the industry and draw heavily upon the resources of the future; which introduce in time of peace a social condition only one degree re- moved from war, and which, if the system fs to last for two or three generations, can only end in one of two results, elther equaliy unsatisfactory—fnancial ruin or those who are in debt must continue to pay. What is to be done to supply that which seems to be the great want of the pen cotitae & greater degree of mutual confidence between the various great Powers? I must say frankly it is a question | can- not answer. He who solves the problem will be the [ramps Rage nd et rienced ae Creign taped en. It is something, however, to nit Where the evil Iles éven it you canoe bolut tor rele ve hough it is perfectly absurd to suppose that if two ‘ations are determined to fight they can be pre- vented by the interposition of any one else; yet in nin® quarrels out of ten, if dealt with early, mucii may be done toward stopping them by the frank in- terposition of neutrais who have no interest except to preserve the peace. We have’ lately been disturbel by ramors of European war. I cannot say that those remarks are without meaning or justidcation in fact, but L Will that since I have had to do with foreign affairs there has been a tend- ency, not in Bi fhout Europe, to exaggerate the danger of the situation and to take the gloomlest view possible of things. This is a mistake, not only because it 1s unpleasant, but be- cause it Is apt to bring about the evi rehended, I cannot predict, The same facts are before us all. I cannot say the future is without canse of unoast- ness or anxiety, but I gay this,.that having some means of knowing I do not believe there are states- men in any Cabinet of Europe who view the pros. oes of a general war otherwise than with aversion. me of them may think that result inevitable or probable, but without belng sanguine there is some reason to hope that what everybody ey ones wit not happen. Some of you may think Y have sald why I say nothing about America. M.: thai the subject has been pretty well my bands. Our esteem — who has, it seems to me, on a hasty computation made a good many more personal friends in England than he has passed days, and with whom, if I may say it to his face, it is a pleasure to do a told you clearly and. minutely the relations between England and America. fe has stated with perfect accuracy that two at least of the tmpending questions have been— I will not say absolutely and fully disposed of, be- cause that would, under the circumstances, be im- possible, but ?so far as dealt with by mutual’ agree- ment that if the American government should ratify the acts of its envoy, of which there can be no reasonable doubt, there 1s hardly any posstbuity of diMiculty arisi mm them. With re- gard to the last and, no doubt, the greatest question, the claims arising out of the late war, Lam not ina sition to say co ey ye than that we have on th sides approached the subject with an earnest desire to find a satisfactory solution; and I think there ts on both sides, Twill not say a confident ex- pectation, but a very decided hope, that a solution not be very far off. I am not going to make you ch on the nature of the relations that ov to exist between the two countries, [say nothing of our common language, literature and origin, which are all true, but lack the charm of novelty. We may, at this tiie of day, take them for granted. This, lao, I take for nted—that as civilized men on both sides of the Atlantic tt ts our duty as friends, askmsmen, it is the willof an enormous majority to be friends. As two commercial countries, con- ducting a gigantic business witn each other, and meaning to make that business greater before we are done, it is very decidedly our interest to be friends. ‘That Is 9 strong combination of motives. When men’s peincipies. feclings and interest all pull the one way tt would take a very strong disturbing adverse influence to overcome such inducements to remain on good terms. For myseif I do not think it onght to be denied chat after the close of the late civil war in the United States there did exist consl- dorabie irritation against England, whether reason- ple or not it is not our business to discuss. I may affirm with certainty two things—tirst, that feeling, whatever its amount yy, was reciprocated on this side of th have been, never e water; next, It is yearly, I may say alinost monthly and weekly, cimtoishing in America, I never like to look for- ward coniidently to the future, but if 1t should hap- nm within the next few weeks that the American inisier and | should have an opportunity of scttling hose questions which are still pending between the two countries, thereby removing the last pretext for a quarrel, | can only say I for one shall feel that the result ts ample compensation for all the labor, re- sponsibility and anxiety attached to the conspicuous and not always onviable position of the English Foreigh Secretary of State. (Repeated clieers.) MR. GLADSTONT’S SPERCIT. Mr. W. FB. Gladstone, in reply to tho toast, “The There has been no lack of courtesy, kindness, wis- dom and boldness of speech on the of these ministers, especially the di predecessor of your oy The esteem he earned depended not only on the kindly spirit of friendliness with which all his duties were performed, but on the manly spirit so universal in America—some portion, we trust, derived from the old stock of Britain, Your guest to-night has been chosen toa place of great responsibility—the weigntier as he treads in the steps of men already so eminent, But what we havo heard from him and heard of him has filled us with the sanguine bellef that in co-operation with the noble lord, or in co-oneration with any who May act upon the same principles, he may have it for his destiny to minisier largely to the accomplish. ment of one of the greatest marks that concera the happiness of England and America. It is in the intl. mate knowledge of all sitting here, and it is neqdless to dwell on obligations binding the two countries, It is not superfuous to hope the envoy will succeed in drawing closer and closer those ties, not merely of formal amity, but of brotherly friendship and aff c- tion, which should unite Old England on this side the Atlantic and younger England on the other. Mr. Thomas B, Horsfal, M. P.; Mr, W. H, P, G, Langton. M, P., and the Mayor foitaw Mr, Johnson, before proposing the health of the chairman, sald he would now say to the gentlemen of the Chamber of Commerce what he hat forgotten to say before—namely, that one of the causes which’ enabled England to be successful was the strict preservation of her credit. He was siruck, when at Sheffield, with the wisdom and good sense of the motto the Cutlers’ Association had adopted— “To insure success preserve your credit.” What would England or the United States have been If they had not strictly observed it? What would they now be if they should disregard it? He forbore to look upon the dark — which would then be present- ed, He did not desire to look upon it, and he could not with propriety look upon tt because he was satis- fied that it was equally impossible for either England or America to disregard their credit; but policy, ins- tice and neceasity require that ff ihere be such a doubt the benefit of the doubt shonid be given to the creditors, (Cheers.) He concluded with complimen- tary allusions to the chairman, wiose health le pro - posed, : At eleven o'clock the party dispersea, after re- peated cheers and expressions of satisfaction. Mr. Laird was among the guests. The Builder of tho Alnbama Present=Minister Jobnson in Friendly Embrace. Lonpon, Oct. 23, 1868. Tn response to the invitation issued for the John- son-Stanley banquet in Liverpool yestorday, a num- ber of persons excused themselves to the committee and did not attend on account of the fact that Mr, House of Commons,” after the usual preface, said:—I need not refer in detail to the subject matter of the reat-controversies by which these three years have peen marked; but one topic [may mention, as tt ena- bles me on my own part and on that of my coaniry to acknowledge a debt we owe for a lesson learned from the nation which Is so worthily represented in the pergon of its distinguished Minister. We have been taught much by the unexampied struggle in which the several portions of the United States were recentiy engaged, but I can say for myself and for many that the one practical lesson we learned from it was the enormous increase of energy, vigor and stability which every State must derive from the exteusion of political privileges and interests and a share in the governing power to the largest possible portion of this community. In my opinion the lesson Will not be without its effect upon the occurrences marking the history of the present Parliament. But theese considerations are inopportune, This occasion ja no mere tribute to duties or mere enjoyment of splendid hospitality, It marks an epoch in interna- tonal relations, and I shal! be much surprised, after the speeches | have heard, If thts be not long rememm- Dered in Liverpool, and tf its echo do not pass across the Atlantic as well. It is. a great pleasure to be pre- gent on an occasion which slows an opportunity of bearing testimony to the conviction I deeply entertain. Unhappy is the country which mixes questions of foreign relations with those of domestic policy; happy that where the wisdom of ministers And the Wroearance ar party enables them to be separated, We stand, in the latter predicament. 1 have heard the spect of the nobie lord—tho Foreign Secretary, We are parted (to my regret) on questions of domestic import of the deepest {mport- ance; but to the speech generally which he has cle- livered—setting aside only those sentences which referred to his oficial knowledge, where it would be preauinption for me to tptermeddle—I am ready to subscribe to the whole speech my cordial approval. Some causes of deplorable wars were selected by the nobie lord. Expiring dynastic ambition was one of these, False theories of political economy aad lust of territorial aggrandizement were others, From these a recognition of the doctrine of common Wi terest springs up—a union of pacific sen- timent or an adverse § pubiic —opinion—ail strengthening and Lang | the happiest resulta, One ineans of promoting this movement Is care in the choice of diplomatic pavers, and no happier in- stance could be aiforded of such choice than tn those for many yeara sent hither )y America, The inter- of America bave bee Worthily sustained, Laird, M. P., one of the firm which built the Alabama, ‘was asked to be present. It was sald that considerable friendly pressure had been exercised on Mr. Laird, on account of this ob- Jection, requesting him to decline attendance, but that he firmly refused. At the very height of the festive rejoicings, to- wards the close, and apparently as a climax to the banqueting, the Chairman introduced Mr. Laird personally to Minister Johnson. The two distin- guished personages on this grasped hands firmly and shook hand cordially. In the embrace they still retained hold one of the hand of the other, while exchanging some words which were evidently intended to be private between them. Public Opinion of the Fete. Lonpon, Oct. 23, 1858. The London 7imes this morning comments favor- ably on the banquet at Liverpool. It say: ‘Mr. Johnson's speeches, so unreserved and earnest, show a desire for practical peacemaking. The Ministers on both sides, the writer says, seem anxious to settle pending questions—Mr. Seward because he held office when the dificulties arose, and may not de- sire to leave them to a successor to treat in a man- ner which he might reject, and Lord Stanley be- cause he has so far been most successful in his policy, and he must wish when he retires from office to know that he has done a work by common con- sent allowed to be the most dificult of accomplish- ment which he has had placed before him.

The boat and cargo, consisting ot 700 bales of cotton and 4,500 sacks of cotton seed, are a total loss.

The negroes and whites then gathered from all quarters, and a fightensued. A company of in- fantry and a body of police restored quiet and pre- vented any further outbreak. Nine or ten frame houses were destroyed. The officer in charge of the military reports all quiet there this evening. VIRGINIA. Closing Day of the Bovder Agricultural Fair. DANVILLE, Oct. 23, 1868, The Border Agricultural Fair closed to-day with a stirring and eloquent pathetic appeal from Presi- dent Sutherlin to the farmers and planters of Vir- ginia and North Carolina to work manfully in behalf of the agricuitural interests of the country. The life and salvation of the South depended upon those interests. ( The races at the fair to-day were very exciting and closeiy contested. The first race, for the fastest pacers, to harness or saddie, for ® premium of $100; four entries were made—Katy Clyde, Kittie Kyle, Black Hawk and y Tom. ‘The race was won by Katy Clyde in 3:19 and 3:09. ‘The second was a trotting race, best three in five, for a premium of $500. There were three entries— Fiyaway, Virginia Girl and American Giri—and was won by Flyaway. Time, 2:47, 2:46 and 2:46, Negro Murderers Respited. FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 23, 1868, Two negroes, named Abel Williams and Henry Young, under sentence of death for the murder of Mr. Wooten two years since in Warwick county, who were to have been hanged to-day, e had their sentence respited by the Governor until the 2ith of November.

AcapEMY or MusiC—Tage Ket.ocg Concrata.— Yes, she is a success; she is @ favorite, and her popularity is fixed in New York, asin Europe. The house at the Academy last night was a house of which Strakosch might well be proud—e full, stylish, critical and enthusiastic house. The whole pro- Programme was acceptably done—mostly well done, and in several instances admirably done, The Tomanza from “Martha,"—that delicious romanza of the love of poor Lionel for the haughty Martha—was touchingly given by Lotti—the duetto from “La Favorita,”’ by Madame Gebele and Signor Petrelli, was sung as with a conscientious sense of duty to the composer, bué perhaps with a nicer regard for the score than the spirit of the selection, The cayatina from “Linda, by Miss Kellogg, was perfootly delightfa!, and was honored by some rare presents of flowers and by a hearty encore, from whieh the audionce odfamed “tne Last Rose of Sum- mer” with @ sweetness and tenderness we have never heard exce’!

Dance. Part third, the third act of “Faust,” was smootily and neatly Riven this time throughout, Coletti (Carivle’s famous Coletti) being substituted for the Susint and his aw- ful bad cold and Madame Tartarini proving quite equal a3 Martha to the demands of the occasion. In a word, these Kellogg concerts are a hit, and Miss Kellogg is a first class favorite here, as on the other side of the water; and in her assiscants there 1s the variety, vocal and instrumental, required to make a concert a success, Matinee at the Academy to-day at one P. ind on Monday evening “Il Barbiere di Sevigiia” in full, FPrenow THEaTRE.—The second representation of “Genevtére de Brabant” last evening confirmed our first Impressions of this opera, perhaps the most per fect exemplification of the resources of opera Dowte, Superbly placed upon the stage, with deoorations and scenery and costumes that would do honor to the most pretentious “grand operas,’ and with music so uniformly rich and delightful that the ear can at first scarcely distinguish any passayes more worthy than others of special recoliection, the general effect of ‘Genevicre de Brabant’ is, as we have already sai’, 0 carnivalesque, so gay and so inspiriting, that none of the spectators could with- stand its influence. All yielded without reluctance fo the old law announced by Horace—Dyice est desipere in loco—which, after all, is the true moral of opira boufe, and all enjoyed heartily tie entire conglomeration of splendid nonsense, Indicrous anachronisms and serio-comic allusions to the pecu- lar absurdities of royal and dueal life in particular, and the universal fathlesses of human life in gene- ral, $0 admirably set forth in one of the liveliest oberas which Jacques Offenbach bas ever produced. We again decline to unrayel the piot of this whimsi- cal version of the story of Genevieve de Brabant.” We would not willingly deprive any of the future Spectators of the many reprosentatio o which we feel that this opera is destined, of the delicious sur- prises that they will enjoy. We muat say, however, that certain criticisms upon its first representation, which were manifestly written in advance and which betrayed far greater indecency than has ever been charged upon the extremest Mberties of which any opéra bousre has been accused, were yesterday even- ing rendered null and vold by the presence and the applause of ladies and genticmen who must be ac- cepted as representatives of the most refined and cultivated classes of our community. “To the pure all things are pure,” and false modesty alone could be offended at anything which the able and expe- rienced manager of the French theatre would permit to be represented. A word or two about the music, There are many clever imitations or burlesques of the grand opera scattered through this work, We will say with confidence that every repetition of it will place it, as far as the music is concerned, shove any of the three operas of Offenbach which have been hitherto produced tn thts city. Drogan (Mme. Rose Bell) has the largest bouquet of melodies allotted to her. The pie sot the charming serenade, the address to the Indies of honor, the succeeding trio with Geneviere and Brigitte, the trio in the ravine where the fugitives are pursued, her message when in the disguise of a man-at-arms and the de- quaitet were the principal selec- lightful ‘ers tions, in which her clear, thoroughly.trained and eard. Any of a 2 beautifully modulated voice was those selections will compare favorabiy with any- thing that ever Offenbach composed. Milo, Desclan- was has a pone eee voice also, and in the sere- nade duet the effect of both soprano voices was such as to call foran enrhustasticencore. The gendarmes, Pitou and Grabuge (MM. Gabel and Bourgoin), are suMcient to insure the success of any work. The duet which they sing on their first entrance will soon be hummed, whistled and eae by oyeny one who has an idea of music in his mind.” Gi isa host In himself. It would be impossible to conceive anything more ludicrous and irresistibly comic than his singing, action and make u| He possesses a fortune {2 iis mouth alone, which is one of the Inost expressive arrangements we have ever seen on the stage. He became a favorite at once on his frat appearance, and, with the dignifed Bourgoin, re- ceived no less than three encores for the duct “Ah! qd’ii est beau.” Carrier and Beckers did full Justice to the music of Sifroy and Oharies Martel. The choruses of this opera are really excellent. The finale of the first act, “Le clairon qui sonne,” 1s a dashing, spirited plece of music which eclipses any- in “La Grande Duchesse,” “La Belle Hélene"’ The chorus of the ladies of he farandole in the second act, terminatin; in @ cancan of the wiidest kind, and the return of the crusaders from Palestine (they look for all the world like the traditioual carpet-baggers), are the other noticeabie numbers in the opera. The music aione 1s suMcient to make “Genevicve" an immense success. Masical and Theatrical Notes. Toronto 1s lively with the “Octoroon."?
