The note of invita- tion to the festivities stated that “the principles ol commercial freedom taught in (hat immortal work are pre-eminently adapted to the highest development of our uational resources.” Is will, therefore, be readily conceived that the disciples of the free trade creed of Adam Smith, the great Scotch philosopher of the last Century, were assombled around the festive board in goodly numpers to do honor to the occasion. Among the distinguished gentlewen present were William Cullen Bryant, Secretary of State bigelow, Parke Godwin, Professor Barnard, Professor P. W.

In response to the toust to the “Wealth of Nation u Imperishaple Monument of Human G David A, Wells respouded. Mr. Wells gathered’ all bis multitude of facts bearing upon the subjgct of free | trade and preseuted them in bis usual cleat and forei- bic mauner, William Cullen Bryant made the principal speech of the evening. 1s was good because brief, and oriet b cause the previous speakers had extiaused all the most vuluable hours of the evening. Mr, Bryant said :— WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT’S SPEKCH, Mx. Presivkyy AND GkNTLEMKN:—Allow me to con- gratulate you on the ove: » which has brought you Together.” Iam glad to see such meu assembled tor such A purpose—that of commemorating the publica- tion of the great work which first clearly demonstrated Ww mankind the benefits ofa free exchange of com- Modities between the natious of the world, and the Inischicts ot that tyranvy which seeks to check this free exchange by the strong arm of the law, The doctrine of iree traue, placed on the mprognable basis of fact and reasoning, Was twin born with this re- public of ours, and I can only wish the republic a like perpetuity with the doctrines, It is now four years since a concurrence of circum- Btances to which I will do no more than allude, had the eflect of causing a movement ia tavor of’ tree trade, which was then in considerable activity and @pparently not without effect on the public mind, tw Stagnate and almost to sleep, And what yeurs, my fricuds, were \uese? Years of languishing enterprise, years of despairing industry, years of strikes, years omtention botween the employers und the em- _ployed, years which showed the epectacie of laborers y hundreds louking in vain tor occupation, and bun- ger-pinched fumilies shivering in their unwarmed garrets, All this while the protective system, as it is Called, has been in suil for Everything is pro ‘teeted—that isto say, everything important in the COUNITY is (axed as it hover Was taxed before. If tho Protective system be the ground of commercial pros- \perity the country should how be prosperous beyond ull its previous Cxperience; our miils, now sient, should be in their fullest activity; our laborers ehould de in constant employment; nota willing arm should De idle, not a spindle should cease to hum. Is it not time tor areaction? Are wo to go on in “this manner indeiiniteiy! We » tried the provec- tive system as fully a8 1s possible; we have tasted its fruits, and they are bitter, Let us now have a season i tree exchange. I bave no doubt, for my own part, What a livers! system of revenue laws, especially com dined with a return to specie payments, would make An insiantancous and most fortunate change in the Pondition of the country, Huudrecs of commodities, the raw material of us many forms of tudustry, would be released from the taxation which now | puts them beyoud the reach of as many classes of ‘rtisans, and new life would be at once communicated to the arts both useful aad ornamental, Tue old hapdieratt of shipbuilding, which made our barks the wonder of the world tor speed apd economy of mav- Bgement, would be revived. The very day that such a change jn our present unhappy policy received the aanction of the Executive would see the gioom of the Himes dispelied as suddenly asa bright morning tul- Jows a storm, and there ts no power able under these tircumstances to hold back our people from plunging into enterprises which they now shrink trom in do- spair. Yes, my friends, the time for a reaction has arrived, Bnd we are determined that it slall have a tair Held. Free trade has siept while ite enemies have been per- Jorming their unlappy experiments upon the public Wellare, and now we louk tu Seck it rise invigorated by its long slumber. Let me say bere that | am in tayor ‘of proicetion, but protection of a kind very differeut from that which for many years past bas deult so eruelly with the interests of the country. I am for protecting the consumers—the class whose numbers &re counted by millions; 1 am for protecting this class fo tts patural and proper right to exchange what it pro- duces in Whatever market tt can exchange them to most advantage. Iam tor rescuing it from the hands | into whieh it bas talien, and whieh plunder it with as | Uitte remorse us the rovers of the Barbary States in the early part of this cenvury pillaged the merchant Ships that entered into their seas, Depend upon it, my triends, this te a righteous com test on our part, and a biessing wili rest upon it. | | bave been Jong a soldier in this war, and have never n weary of i, I may not see the day of triumph, vut many oi you will. The torch which I bave borne for more than fifty years [ shall pass to abler, doubt Jess, though pot nore faithial, bands, assured that it will yet shed its rays on a glorious victory. Mr. Bryant wus followed by reepouses to toasts to “Commercial Freedom,” “international Freedom?’ ) and tbe science of litical Economy,’’ severally ro- Bponded to by Mr. Edward Atkinson, Mr. Henry Armott Brown, Protessor W.

FAREWELL DINNER TO THE BRITISH CENTEN- MIAL COMMISSIONER—PBESENTATION OF A SILVEE PUNCH BOWL, Paivapenrma, Dec. 12, 1876, This evening a private farewell dinner was, given to Colonel Herbert Bruce Sandford, R. A, the British ‘Executive Commissioner to the Centendial Exhibition, who loaves for England tn the American Line steamer Ohio on Thursday, An opportunity was taken to use the oceasion for the presentation to Colonel Sandford of a silver punch bowl Among those present were Governor John F. Hartrantt, Mayor William F. Stokley, Samuel Davenport, Esq., Commissioner from South Australia; Roderick William Caineron, Esq., Comiis- sioner from New South Wales; General Joseph KR. Hawley, President of the Centennial, Commission; Alfred T. Goshora, Director General of the Exuibition; Jobp Welsh, Esq., Chairman of tho Centenniul Board of Finance; Charlies K. Kortright, Esq,, British Consul; Professor Fairmaa fogers, Colonel Thomas A. Scott, Henry D. Welsh, Esq. After the cloth was removed General Hawley, who occupied the chair, spoke of the oscasion which had drawn the company together and of the successiul services of Colonel Sandiord at the Exhibition, and called upon Mr, Joseph Patterson to express their re- gret at Colonel Saauiord’s departure and their appreci- ation of lis excellent charactor and eminent labors as British Cowmissiouer. Mr. Josepli Patterson, in a speech of some length, presented the silver vase to Colonel Sandtord, In tne course of his response Colonel Sandford One of the greatest pieasures which your Eng- lish Visitors have enjoyed thts year, in whichever part of the United States they have travelied, has arisen from experiencing the very frienaly feelings enter- tained by all classes toward the mother couniry. The participauion by Great Britain in the grand under- taking by which you so appropriately resvived to com- memorate the one hundredth auniversary of your *in- dependence has, indeed, been amply repaid to her by the cordial manper in which America las responded, und the year which celebrates an event, likeiy 1 some minds Vo have resuscitated jealous teelinga between the two nations, has, on the contrary, been marked by the display of most practical proofs of good will be- tween our respective countries, Our exbibitors im most departinents had come for- ward nobly to sustain the credit of their country— inany, as | Was personaily infuried by the gentlemen, pot werely in the tine art department, where there could be no douse of the fact, but iv other depart- ments—actuated more from a desire to show their gvod will to their American friends on such a histori- cw! vegasion than from any hope of gato, The grander the representation made by Great Britain and Ireland the greater becume the respousibility uf the staif in making ail the arrangements expceted trom them, and in obtaining every possibie facility aud oven indulgence they could acquire trom the American Commission. Aud their work would have, indeed, been up hill if tuey had been met with cold Jormality and red tupe routine. So far, however, was this trom being the case, that if the three chieis who are so highty honoring me this evening had determinoa that the Britush section should be the success of the Exhi- Uition, they could not have acted otherwise than they did. "And, gentiemen, you and your fellow citizeus were equally resolved that our lavors should bo light- ened by ag pleasant social 1utercourse as it was possi- ble lor the heart of man to devise.

AMUSEMENTS. CHICKERING HALL, A young Russian pianist, named Mille, Therese Jakoubovitsch, made a début at Chickering Hall last night bere a very slim audience. The young lady, ‘Wo regret to say, was not successful, She essayed se- lections from the works of Rubinstein, Liszt, Bee- thoven and Litolif, and in no tustunce did she display tistic merit, ‘There are hundreds of amateurs, pupils of 5.

His marvellous feats created unbounded enjoyment and not a little surprise, while his excellent performance on the planolorte merited high commendation, From beginning to end the audience were kept in the best possibie humor, the tounding “sight seeing” of Miss Heller eliciting en- thusiastic applause, Beyond question the cutertain- ment is unique and exciting, furnishing grounds for mucb speculation among sceptics aud affording pleas- ure to thoso in search of a refined and attractive source of innocent pleasure, ‘The periormance last evening seemed to give general satisfaction, not the least 1wportant cle.pent toward this result beg tho nal sallies of humor on the part of Mr. Heller self who is certainly an artist inthe highest sense of, tue term, KELLY AND LEON’S MINSTRELS.

EX-REVBNUE COLLECTOR BAILEY RETURNS TO THE: SCENES THAT KNEW HIM 8O WELI-— PRESIDENT GRANT RELIEVES HIM FROM PROSECUTION—WHAT HE HAS TO SAY FOR HIMSELY. Joshua ¥. Bailey, who seven years ago was Internal Revevue Collector in the Fourth afd Thirty-second districts, and whose fight from this city created quite tir at the tine, returned from his wanderings a few days ago. He cuntended that no inaictment was ever found against him, and that the President has re- Neved him from prosecutions that might have been commenced in the future on the strength of alleged violation of law had the Executive mot tuterfered. The actual deficiency in his accounts, he said to a Hwnatv reporter yesterday, instead’ of being some hundreds of thousands of dollars is which amount, ho states, bas been paid by his sureties, several. of whom were active in procuring the Executive action, The gov" ernment, he adds, appears satisfied that the deficiency did not occur through personal appro- Ppriation of money or speculation, but.in the prosecu- tion of offenders against the internal revenue laws and in defending himself against the ‘‘coucerted action of conspirators’? to destroy his character as an oificer of the United States. Mr, Bailey in a letter to President Grant in defence of himself refers to his flight a8 follows: — In regard to my abandonment of my office, it meditated.

Aruaxy, Dec, 12, 1876, The report of the State: Prison Investigating Com. mission upon the manggement of Sing Sing, will prob- ably not be ready for publication until early after the opening of the session. 1t will then be sent to the Governor, and, by him aransmitted to the Legisla- ture, It will be followed soon afterward by acon- densed report of all thesdevelopments mado in the inquiry so far, which willie considered their final re- port by the comuilssion, salthough the law expressly permitted their session until January. ‘There was no positive restriction against their holding a session be- youd that date, aud 11 18 mot likely they, will disband for somo months yet, ag tho two houses will vote among their earlivst prog eedings to prolong their ses- sion if such a vote is nece ssar. There is a Vacancy in the Commission, which will probably have to he filed by Goyernor Robinson, ‘The appointee, to re.ain the non-partisan character of the Board, must be a republican, and the Senate holds the power of confirmation.
