Honor to the American Embassndcr.
- At the anneal dinner of the members of the
British Association, held in Manchester, en Sa
turday, after the usual roojm&'of masts, Lord
Francis Egerlonrilie cliairmaii, laid that aiti"n
the distinguished foreigners present tliefewas
one whom, although he came from a far country,
from another hemisphere, and as the represemaiive
of a foreign state, atill he (the chairman ' would
not class a " foreigner" -(applause) nor would
he nor any of his countrymen be so considered in
this island. v They spoke a common language,
they had a common origin, and the same Anglo-
Saxon blood flowed in the veins of both. (LouiH
ana cort'inuea cneermg.j, it was only necessary
to-go from the factory exhibitions of Maijdiesier
to the quays and docks of Liverpool, forany niah
to lie convinced trratuoitissiorreotild be atnnce
more honorable or more important than that of
cultivating and cwinecting, if he may, friendly re
lations between two such countries as the United
States tifAmerica and England, which was, he
bulieveil. thi' main part of the mission of te dis
tinguished individual near him to this country.
(Hear, from Mr. Everett.) The high reputation
of his honourable friend has preceded him here;
and he (the chairman) was sure thnt England
would consider she could not have had a higher
compliment pakMfr fter-by the United States than
in sending Mr. Everett as her representative.
(Applause.) The health of his Excellency was
then drunk by iIih company standing, ;hkI with
marked enthusiasm. - .
. Hiss Excellency the American Minister then
rose, mid was received with loud cheers.' He said,
that he should he more or less than man if he did
not feel eonsidi'ralile emherrassment Til the man
ner in whii h the-4oariatHeen-rectivcd. He
was, however, relieved by the conviction that it
Was meant to reach far beyond himself across
the Atlantic and that it was meant for the peo
ple whom he had the honor U represent. (Cheers)
He accepted all their, kindness in the spirit of
frankness in which it was giveW Whilst he ex
perienced uch a welcome is the prpsent, he felt
indeed that he was no stranger amongst them, hut
ilial in crossing the wide ocean that separated Iris
country from-theirs, he had come into the land of
his lathers to receive the kindness and the churi
lies of hospitality at the hands of their successor.
((Jheers.) His excellency then adverted to- the
relations between colonics and mother countries
wnetner loimiled upon conquest or emigration.
IWP1, t recce, and Rome, had each had colonies
but there never had been, and there never could
he, sucli rel .lions between them as now existed
between the United States of America and this
country. (Applause.) Those relations were to
be found in the mysterious bond o'a common
language, a common origin, and a perfect convic
tion that they were destined to exercise an all
powerful influence on whatever they were des
tined, and to fulfil the highest ends in the order
uf Providence for the welfare and happiness of
both. When America was prosperous, the hand
loom weavers felUt, in England; and when man
ufactures and commorco in England languished,
the pulses of America beat feebly and slow.
With respect to the now staple commodity of
America, it was doubtless known that the culti
vation of cotton in the Uifltod States was but of
recent origin. So recently as 1784, tho first par
cel that arrived at Liverpool was seised-as con
traband, and supposed to be the production of the
Westlndies, Now, by the improvements made
in iheculture and treatment of the cotton in Ame
rica, more especially in the process by which the
seed wajWprrated from the fibre, ami by the-tni-proveineuiVeiTecied
hy Aikwrighl and his succes
sors in the spinning of it, the supply from Ame
rica would heW boundless from the former cause
as the demand i England from llio latter; and the
importance of that trade and manufacture could
hardly be overslateHl, when it was admitted that
its resources carriedngland through ihe crises
of the French revolution. (Cheers.) Republi
cans as they (the Americans) were, there was a
much greater affinity between America and Great
Britain, politically sneaking, than between anv
of the'European monarchicsVor between any two
nations pn the face of the earth. (Cheers.) With
the Americans as with the British, liberty was en
shrined in the constitution; and if llie pillars of
their monarchy. were laid deep in the minds and
the affections of the people, by which ihey wer -brought
to support the throne, the foundations of
American liberties rested upon trial by jury, ha-hut-
cput, freedom of speech, the I'berty of
the press, and self-government, tempered by sub
mission to lawful authority, (Cheers.) His Ex
('"llencv eoiii'luded by expressing t'hri happiness
l,e should feel in being instrumental in cementing
the best understanding between England and the
United States, ami resumed his seat among the
cheers of the 'assembly.
The remaining (,asls-or the evening were all
suitably introduced ano' responded to.

At the Annual Meeting of the 2:'ptit Foreign

preacher, gave an interesting account of the in

The following extract from, the Bubbles of the
U runners of Nassau, contains some curious reflec
tion on " the pig," which will doubtless prove
interesting to those who have never read the work
alluded to, or thought tfeeply on t he subject :
" There exisU prehaps in creation no animal
which has less justice and more injusiice done to
him by man than the pig. Gifted with every fa
culty of supplying himself, and of providing even
against the approat hing slorhi. which ho creature
is better capable of foretelling than, a pig, we be-

me, than to witness an indolent man eating his

sits leaning over it, I own I always feel it is so

.1 Mother's Love. Mitchell, the forger, when
the sentence crninigiiing him to the State prison
was passed the other day, had uo Iriend by him
in that h.ntrof need except his mother! What
deep, cngr.sing, self-sacrificing affection! How
worthy of better reward! There is a great amount
of wrong in this world. None is. frit with more
keenness than the ungrateful conduct of children.
An hjle, dissolute, heartless son, is such a com
plicated cause of suffering, that parents may some
times murmur, if anything will justify it, at the
decrees of J'rovidence. Especially when any
thing which pafeutftl affection and filial watchful
ness can suggest, Is turned to wrong doing.... Jlow
inaity days of anxious caro have been bestowed,
upon children who become reprobates irwiociety.
How many hours of sleepless anguish and weari
ness have filled a mother's heart, that her son may
fill some honorable station in tho world. How
cruel is Unit decree which decides that her instruc
tions ph:dl lie disregarded, her expectations thrown
to thii wind, and lier fondext hopes blightedUyet
a mother's lows does not abate with the depar
ture of virtue or the consnmmation of evil in her
'child. The more the world scorns hin, the clo

around that of her ungrateful son. Yet this love
js abused the affection is unrequited this acute
lil'iilernal anguish is daily caused hy the miscon-i

Faltooi Ont Steamboat.
; FuvtoH, in a conversation with Judge 8lory,
gave the foflowiog account of this experiment.
W hen (said he) 1 was building my first boat,
the Clermont, si New York, tha project was view
ed by the public either with indifference or con
tempt as a visionary scheme. My friends were
civil, but they were shy. They listened witb pa
tience to my explanation, but with a eilled east
of incredulity on their countenances. I felt the
force of the lamentation of the poet, .
rTiuth would you lasch, to ears sinking land, , "
All shun, non aid you, and few undarsland. '
As I had occasion Jo pass daily to and from my
building yard wh.le my boat was in progress, I
had often loitered, unknown, near the idle group
of strangers, gathered in little eirclrs, and heard
various inquiries relative to the object of this new
vehicle. The language was uniformly that of
scorn, sneer or ridicule. The loud laugh rose at
my expense. the diy jest, the wise calculations of
losses and expenditures, the dull but endless repe
titions of Pulton lolly. Never did a single en
couraging remark, a bright hope, or a warm wish
cross my path. Silence Itself was but politeness
veiling its remarks or hiding its reproaeheej , At
length the day arrived when the Experiment was
brought into operation. To me it was a most try
ing and Tiitercsiinjf occasion; 1 invited my friends
to go on board and witness the first successful
trip. Many did me the honor to attend as a mat
ter of personal respect, hut it was apparent they
did it with relucTarjcoT fearing to be partners in
my misfortunes and not of my triumph. , I was
Well aware that in my case then there were reasons
to doubt my own success. ., :, , ,f
The machinery ,wss new 'and ill madcy and

rived when- the word waslo bcgiven lor the ve-
sei to move my irienus were in groups on ine
d'eck. There was anxiety mixed with fear among
them. They were silent, sad, ai d weary. read in
their souls nothing but (lit aster, and almost repent
ed iny efforts.'-.'-The signal was given, and the boat
moved on a abort distance and then stopper! and
became immoveable. 'Prthfl silence of the pre
ceding moment; now succeedettjnurmnrs of dis
content, and agitations, and whispers and shrugs.
I could hear distinctly repealed,'' I told you it was
so ; it is a foolish schemesTHvish we were well
out of it.', I elevated my?elf on a platform, and
addressed the assembly. I stated that 1 knew tint
what was the matter, but if they would bo quiet,
or indulge me for half n hour, I would either go
on orabundou the voyage Vor the lime. The short
respite was conceded', to" without objection. f I
went below and examined the machinerf , and die'
covered that it was a mal-adjustmeni of some of
the work. Inia sfiort period it was obvisted.
The boat was again in motion ; she cflatinijeft- to.
move on ; all were incredulous; none eeemeu wil
ling to trust their own senses. We left the fair
city of New York, we passed through the -ever
changing scenery of the highlands ; we descried
the clustering houses of Albany we reached its
shores, and then, even then, when all seemed
achieved, I was the victim of disappointment.
Imagination superseded the influr nee of fact. It
was then doubted whether it could be done again,
or if done, if it could bo made of any value. .

Nkw York, August 10, 1808,;
Sir: I arrived -this afternoon t 4 o'clock in
the Steamboat from Albany. As the, success of
the experiment gives me great hopes that such
boats may he rendered of much importance to my
country, wi prevent erroneous opinions, and give
some satisfaction to the friends of useful improve
ment, you will have the goodness to publish the
following statement ol facts I M
I left New York on Mofiday, at 1 o'clock, and
arrived at Clermont, the seat of Chancellor Li
vingston, at 1 o'clock on Tuesday : time, twenty-four
hours; distance, one hundred and ten mill's.
On Wednesday, I departed from the Chancellor's
at 9 in the morning, and arrived at Albany, at 5 in
the afternoon, distance forty mil's ; time, eight
hours. The sum of lhis is one hundred and fifty
inile in thirty-two hours, equal to nearly five
miles no hour.
On Thursday, at 9 o'clock in t'tc morning, t left
Albany, and arrived at the Chancellor's at S in
the evening. " I started from thence at 1 nrid ar
rived in New York on Friday, at, 4, in the after
noon ; time thirty hours, space rtitf thVoitIi b lie

dubious. ' The passage of the Cok mbia steamer
to England is nnera in atesm navigation, show

duty, the steamers go on progressively improving,
and that so far from the slightest manifestation of

ponents of these enterprises have been utterly
disappointed in their prognostications i.s to a con
tinuation rrf success; and the friends of extended
commercial prospects have equal cause for de
light, in knowing that steam voyage b' twecn
the countries, if properly supported and encour
aged, will not only go on in their carter of use
fulness, but th it in proportion to the increase of
support awarded, so also will be their determined
spirit of continued energetic success.'
Nothing can exceed the universal feeling of
pleasure which has marked this late notable feat
of the Columbia home; and when we tell our rea
ders, that in eleven and a half days from the time
of American papers being printed, the same jour
nals and part of the mails were actually delivered
in London, weinow llicy must joig in rendering
all jusi prase to that admirable system of elli
cieiicy which cquld bring about such marvelous
consummation. The whole mercantile body of
England, and the continent of Europe, were per
fectly amazed at so early, a delivery of their cor
respondence; and, although we have now gradu
ally become accustomed (o extreme regularity ol
communication, and to constant and invariably
quick steam pa-vflge, yet we must confess, thai
to. hear of a vessel crossing the mighty Atlantic
Ocean in nine dayt aid a half, dots, certainly,
give rise to ideas that some supermundane sort of
influence tn .at Im brought 10 bear, in order to pre.
serve such a iaie of pced. , Terhaps the most re
markable, and certainly, not the least desirable,
poiul in tho matier, is the perfect order and effect
ive sirengtli which the 'steamer show oii the ter
mination ol'i their passages. The machinery is
almost jn a most jrfcci and coinplctu state, no
straining or appearance of overworking; every
thing seems lo go on with precision, nod exact
ness; 'and the frame work of those noble monu
ments of marine architecture, are now serving as
models of excellence . to ill parties interested
in the erection of steam vessels. When the
Columbia arrived, aftei her recent passage of sine
days and a half, she was in the must perfect con
dition, -nd ihe most scrutinizing eye could not ob
serve but th .t she was enteriug upon an outward
passage, rather than just returned after perfecting
ihe greatest feat of speed ever recorded 1 . . ..
In "England these1 unvarying lapid passages are
producing their natural result m the miv! of all
observers j and we can safely 1roel the fairnens
and candour of an American public to deal justly,'
and assist in supporting such enterpjisesv 'The
American press toof now so rapidly rising in pow
er, and widening 'its sphere of usefulness to such
a vast extent, will doits duty in keeping the citi
zens rightly informed as to the good yet to h at-'
tained i'ronf steam communication ' with Great
Britain: as also to dispel those fears which have
hren ullowed to operate, in ' preventing; persons
the enjoyment of those advantages which such a
certain and speedy mode of transit offers lo them.
The entire American press is deeply interested
in this subject. It is a matter of vital importance
lo its increasing success, that such regularity
should lie maintained, and that these effort of me
chtmical skill should be bound up and untied, as
well as zealously aided, by the newspapers of
both countries. An immense" increase i already
shown io the demand, on this side, for American
papers and publications, since the running of the
steamers. Each of those North-American steam
ers brings over loads of them; and, as steam goes
on prospering, so will ouf friends of the press
on the other side- find new fields 'oprt - to them
on this-skle, -nd -wHI slso derive equal benefit
in the continued receipt of their European in
