The nnnounccmont that the Key. Newman Hall, D. 1-i of ,b0 Su"ey Chapel, London, would deliver a lecture on 'Tho Reiatiorn of Great Dritnin and America, in connection with the late War,"ilrew lordlier last evening alarijc audience, there boine; scarcely a vacant ecttt In the Bpacion Horticultural Hull. Tho ip?!ikcr was Introduced by cx-(iovernor Pollock, who paid a just tribute to tho efforts made by the iormer to preserve harmony ttud goo.l feeling lK'tween tho two nations. When Dr. Hall advanced to the front of the platform he was pteetcd with lond and hearty applauBo. lie commenced by ayinf that bW poHitlon was misumlrrtood by a preat many, lie had not come to this country on an i'iueriim lecturing tour, but simply as a private gentle man who de.-ircd to eee the couutry, and his numerous friends in it, for his own personal fcatij'aotlon. He had received am-nerous wel come, and hid received so ninny Invitations ti) lecture, at larqe foe. that the acceptance of them woull have enabled htm to return with a handsome fortune. Other kind friends had vol unteered and insisted up. to paving all hia ex penses durliig his tour, but their generous offers he had rejected. Then it win proposed by some of bis friends in New York, and he had favored the scheme, that there should be raised fcy contribution a fund for the crectiou of a XneiLOiial to Abraham Lincoln in London. (Loud applause.) The money, us fast as it waa collected, was to be placed In the hands of a committee in New York, who wore to invest it iu United SUiU s bonds, until such time as it should be needed. Finally, it being known that In consequence oi the approaching cxpirntiou of the lease of his church in London his congrega tion would soon be compelled to erect a new place of worship, at au expense of about ;!0,0(I0, owing to the high prici of the land, il was pro posed that he should deliver a few lectures in this country, the proceeds of which should be devoted towards meeting a portion of the costof tbttt building. It was in consequence of this arrangement that the speaker's audience had bem charged for admission to the Hall on this occasion. i Dr. Hall then said that he ha 1 been engaged for five years in cndeavoriLg to remove some of the misunder.rtaudings of his own countrymen tilth regard to Amcricn, and he thought tb.it Americans would bear with bim if he attempted to remove some of their misunderstandings with regard to Great Britain. But before he pro ceeded with his lecture, he defired the audience to cnitc In singing one verso of their beautiful national hymn. Iu compliance with tlm re. quest, some gentlemen upon the platform started the familiar words: My country, 'lis of thee, Sweet luuil ol litieity; Ui lute i Bin,'," the vast audience rising tpontaneously to their feet and joining heartily in tho refrain. Dr. flail then came forward and said: I venture to sny thut, while you were siugiuar these beautiful words, there were some among jou who thought of "God save the Queen." This intimation was also acted upou, tho audi ence again rising and uniting in singing the first verse ot the national anthem of Great Bri tain. These musical exercises over, the speaker resumed the floor, and spoke substantially as follows: Although you may have your own opinion of a monarchical lonu of government, Americaus cannot but admire and ret-pect (jueea Victoria. (Hearty chetrs.) When jou sing your on words to the tune we have just heard, you can not but remember that it is an liuglish tune. Indeed, there are many things in this country which remind me of my own. Were it not lor the aosence of many dear Iriends whom I value more than I do myself, I sliould often forget that I am not iu Old England, and that me broad Atlantic lies between me and my home. have many things in common. Tuo other day. when I stood on Bunker Hill and was tendered a public reception by the Mayor and a vast assemblage, 1 remembered that Englishmen rejoiced in the event which that noble monu ment is intended to celebrate, as well as Americans. There Is no true English man, from the highest to the lowest, who is not proud of Bunker Hill. (Applause.) It was not America that iought England tueu; hut it wus old England and America thit together fought against stupidity, Digoiry, ana eross tyranny. So, when 1 stood on Plymouth Rock, I remem bered that Englishmen, as well as Americans, liad reaped the benefits of the course pursued by the Pilgrim Esthers. You received them, but we nourished them. So, wfceu 1 looked on the mist which rises above Niagara FallH, like tho IMlar ol Cloud by day and the Pillar of Eire in the lunar lieht, I tnought it never so beautiful ss when spanned by a rainbow which rested on American and British soil. Just above, the stream divided, but it soon reunited below, a type of tlio harmony which ehould prevail between the two nations on whom tne cause ot civilization throughout the world depends. I now come to a considera tion of the relations ot these two nations, and in going over my brief in the case of America vs. (ircat Britain, I tear I shall weary your pa tience; but I will endeavor to economize your time ss much as possible. I do not come here toctiulets that we have done nothing but what was wrong, and to ask vour torgivencs.

Theiefoie I am glad at the feeling you mani fested towards us, Lecaue it shows that in the preat heart of the American nation there is an ipectaiion and a longing for love fron Great Biitain an expectation which I am surd will not be disappointed.

J ; war commenced and Mr. Lincoln Issued nli Proclamation of Emancipation, you naturally expected that bis action would receive the cor dial endom nient of these people. And I dou't wonder that when that proclamation was isued nd found Its receptioo the reverse of what you m pec ted, that you should have felt surprised and hurt; on the contrary, 1 wonder that our indignation was not greater. (Applause.) Then, wheu you In aid tbat Alabamas were being httcd up in our ports to pr y upon your peaceful commerc", and when British Kif-rcnaiits beeanto break through the blockade.you might well leel that that was a maniiestutiou you had no rnbt to expect. My feeling of surprise was not that your indignation was so gn at, but that it was so slight, And jottheieare words in miti;a. tion ol the judgment which was passed. I would uot say one word In initiation ol the judsment, but would pay something tn mitigation of tho.e who called for the judgmnt. Tho-e men said the Nor h reconi.ed ihe Southern B'i as a hi lligetent power, and therefore that Knalaad was justified in recoi'ntzintr them as a bellige rent power. They said when tin) Noah pro nounced a blockade they recognized tho Rotith n a belligerent power, and not as a mere Hebffl lower. It was a mistake, no doubt, to accept the proclamation of belligerency as equivalent to a recognition of tho Southern States. With reference to the blockade and blockade-running, our oppone nts, your opponents, argued that it w as u mutter ot speculation ; and upon this view of the case a number or merchants were willing to run the risk. These men titted out vessels of wi.r, wlin arms and equipments. This could not be prevented. The men ran the risk an I nciep'id the consequence. I know a man, nmelf, a merchant in Hull, iu England, who ran the blockade, and whom, 1 am happy fo ft y, failed afterward.; for a sum of 100,0(10 stni i.i l. (ur opponents point to the ca-o of the Alabama. Now wi'.h regard to the circum stances connected with that vessel, they b-?ar fair comparison with reeard to 1 iwsu'its in imcral cases. If the lower court decides ad versely acainst a litnzaut. he anneals to a bieher court, iu. d tlio U;au who fancies bimolt ag- gtievea mu wait for a decision. Tun ninv involve expense, but the atmrieve.l must. nevertheless, await the decision of the higher couit. It may bo said in idea of ludLrmeut on the Alabama claims that old ueonlo do not en ahead as fast as the young. Tho young should not Mid fault with the old because the old could not run as fast they couM. It was contended that the Alabama was fitted out professedly tor. the seivico of the Krnopror nf f'hi believed that. No one eertainlv knew what the vessel was for. tliouph. tin rinuht. mnnv ana.. pectcd her true mission. It the Alabama had been fitted out and nreuared nio'essedlv tnr Uia service of tbeEoulheru States, she been stopped immediately. In Great Britain we repeatedly Pear ol largo stores of arms, ot magazines and repositories of material of war lor the Fenmna and of headquarters where people muster tor a certain purpose.

This is what our opponents might sny iu nrrest of judgment, luiitvidunlly, 1 have not a word to say in apology fr tho tifinfr out of the Alabama; or for the delay which is experi enced In Bettlingtbc claims againstGrcat Britain on her account. All I do say Is, nothing would te more dcnrable to Great Biitaiu, nothing would give the masses of the people greater satisfac tion than 1o tee the Alabama question equitably settled. And when it shall be decided 9y the tribunals that Great Britain was culpably negli gent in the matter ot a settlement, not only will the people be willing to pny the last dollar, not only shall everything b-clone in justice by the pn tit masses of the people, but they will demand that every dollar justly claimed shall be paid. (Applause.) When the war broke out it wa3 well understood In my country that It would not be settled in ninety dnya. The dlflionUy In Kupland was that the people did not understand your Constitution not au easy matter If wc nre to judceof it by the Southern contruction of it. We only knew tbat the Government ot the Url'.ed .States was composed of a combination of separate nations, eaeh with its own lnsys and institutions, each nation having surrendered a certain number of their sovereign rights, and that the regulation of these mailers thus sur rendered were v the hands of C'ougress and the President, and that the Government had no power over those rights reseivtd by the separate nations. If the principle of the Government and the Constitution hud been understood, tho people ot Great Brita'n would not have re proached the United states for sanctioning pro ceedings in the several states which, according to the Constitution, the Government had no power to interfere with. 8o we saw that altboueh slavery existed in the Southern Slate", the Government of the United States, as such wns'not resrontiblo fur thi institution , elaveiy. We saw in ray country, however, that there were principles at work which would eventually destroy the sjstem of slavery which the Constitution never did sanction or annrovn We read that Washington emancinar:i i.i slaves; wc read tbat Jellersou said. "I tremble or my country when I cousider that God is lust;' we saw the contiinal coutest between the States on the question of slavery ; we saw that slavery in the territory north of the Ohio was prohibited, the Missouri (!nmnrntni. the fugitive Mavc law. and we mi me coninci mat was pntu, nn Kt , the slave power and the advocates ol freedom. Ihen came the publication of thnt book, the r..j...u un, uiuu vmuicaieo, ana which done so much in creating public sentiment, and In biingiiig about the greut results in which all rejoice. 1'hen came the Ured Scott decision that terrible dictum which declared that the black man bad no rights which the white man was bound to respec t. And we marked the agi tation which shook the land. We marked how fierce was the struggle in Kansas b-twecn the fiee-soilers and the slave party. We also, watch ing the course of events, felt that tho condem nation of th it old man, John Brown, to death, was the knell ot shivery. And when that sen tence of death was passed, the South little thought that, in so short a period of time after wards, twenty thousand colored troops would be seen marching throuih their priucipal cities, singing the now f optilar song: "John Brou ii'B bcirfy lies mouldering In tbe t'ruve, But liia suul goes inarching on." And we saw how the ladies of tho South dis graced their sex by their unchristian feelings; and wc saw, also, that the turning point of tne war was slavery or freedom. We saw that the seccsion or the South wus all in tho cause of slavery, an I thut tho proclamation of the State of South Carolina declared .that slavery was the comer-ktone of their i.ew empire. And having studied tbe quo-lion, we saw that the question was law versus anarchy, the Constitution versus octarchy, freedom verms slavery. (Applause.) Allow me to sav two things to provo the fact that the groat' majority of thoso who, in my judptrent, orposid American policy, were not opposed to the Ann icau people. Tbejo were not epposr d to you from antipathy to you, but beenuse they misunderstood the question at issue. I admit ttcro were some oppose! to you who reully did not like you as a people, and who did not like vour Government.

Mates leceded from Great Britain, the Southern nauaiiaaa rigiu to socene irom ine union. These men did not approve ol Sontheru slavery; that question, In their mind, had nothing to do with the right of the people of tbe South to be governed as they desired, and the oft- repeated argument went round, why has not tho South the same right to secede from the United States as the United Rtnteii hnd tn secede from Great Britain! These and others fur her contended tbat jour own Constitution gave to Ihe t-outhern Elates the inherent right to secede whenever ihey should please to do to. This was the ground of their sympathy; the States un ink Tuiuimiiiiy unura, tney tnougni incy mlcht VOllJILtnrilv urrpdn. Tills fnnlinrr laprrplv prevailed.

Tbirewas sn argument used which was very olllicult to answer. I could answer; but just as lawyer knows the strong points and the weak points of Ins c-ise, so I knew this was a weai I'oint. It was reprce nted to us that your Gov ernment were williner to retain nil the old slave laws of the South it they would only comeback and be united, Wo were even told that at a gieat ; national convention It was reeom.ncndeil tli at laws shouid bo passed not 01 ly to perpetu ate slavery but to extend it. ho it was thought il the Union was maintained, a slave, to g.iin his fnedom, vould have to cross the whole United States to Cauada, but if the separation tok plaeo there would only be aline on a small river to crots and they would be free; and tuts would be the death-blow of slavery. So honestly and truly ninny people in Ureat Britain, who really desired the freedom of the slave, desired tho separation ol the North from the South, so long as the North teemed to desire the continuance of the i'ueitive Slave law. ft used to be said, nnd I have said it mjeelf, that better for the Union to be broken Into ten thousand fragments then retniD the Fugitive Slave law. But I said, this Will Tint hp. Thin Kohollinn mill tin mil down, and slavery will be put down too. Yet I nun juu uuu uiuicifctanu now inece misunjer staLdineB occurred: tor. with regard tn tnij prnnrirtnutinn riinfltimri,in w..a i, n.l t-nwl that when Mr. Lincoln could liberate the slaves mail", in tne lojai btatrs ne did not, aud Where he could not liberate the slaves, thrrp lie, nroelaitned their inch nendenep 1 Ynn must admit this was a dillicult dilemma. Tucre were alto many persons who were opposed to the war on other eruundf. The Anti-laverv Society is (omptfed largely of Quakers, who, of course, are opposed to all wars. There were others who mid. lor thpsnkenf thp Xnrth it hnitpr the South should mircepd ui niwe. In nil liio- tory there is no case of a country so extensive as the South rebelling, with tho whole people earnest in the cause, and of that rebellion being nut down. The North canrot deeat them. or if it does. it cannot sufcjugtite them. It is a cruel war, involving au immense sacrifice ol human lite and money. For the eaki; of the North itself, therefore, before the North is thoroughly ex- uuumi'ii, 11 ia outer 10 recognize tue soutn at ufcer. iien jou cousiucr ait itiese tiling you enn well see how well-meaning individuals may huve been influenced by tome of these conside rations, without being actuated by ill feeling towards America, to regard mistakes as crimes. A great many persons in his country were gov erned by fashion. It was not the fashion to call England a rtr ublic, but he might call it a re publican monarchy. There were people in every coun'ry governed by fashion. In pl.cce of ask ing what was true and convenient, they were afk;ng what was In fashion. And how did the nrUtociacy stand ou this question? It. was said that Britons should never bo slaves, but there were many persous who were utterly the slaves ol liithioii. It a lady wanted n bonnet sho would not auk what was useful, but '-how can jou des me?" Thnt custom prevailed in Eng land; perhaps it did not prevail here. Two hundred women during the last fouryears lost their lives from tho foolish custom ofwearin" crinolines, which were hideous machines.

When the question was not one of principle, ho thonght they should do as their neighbors did; but lie was sorry to say that a gieat class ot people prevailed in England who took up their political as well as their religious opinions because thev were fashionable. In seme of the papers opinions were expressed in favor of the South and the cause In which the South was engaged. In fashionable papers, when il beeame fashionable to speak of tho South, opinions on that side were taken up" And if it had been fashionable when the strug gle between tbe North and South was poing on to express in England ouinlous in favor of tUf North, many persons would have taken up the opinion that was fashionable. He (the lecturer) said that in order to ubate a misapprehousion, and in mitigation of punishment. He respected Mr. Lincoln. He had preached a funeral sermon on the occasion of his lamented death. It was said that Mr. Lincoln had stated that ho was iu favor of the restoration of the Union with or without slavery. These opinions had been ex pressed in English newspapers. He was present at a meeting in New York tht other night, and he there heard expressed sentiments of hatred towards England, and a determination to keen the negro race dow u. He bad never heard such sentiments expressed in hisown country against England as he had beard at tbe meetiiie in question. Let them remember that thete ex prcssions were made use of in their own city Not one in a hundred in England knew the dif ference between a Copperhead and a republi can. Americans would not like to expie.-s on position to their own couutry, and when it is rrm.micred that opinion bad been expressed in i,V . ltU,hlitwa9 0,'b the opinion of a cer tain pa.t.v, and not of a whole people inimical to the republic.

They rild not ask what peoplo be lieved. if taey beheved in tbe Loid Jesus Christ. If people who had been slaveholders came over to them, they asked them it that was so, and if thev saicf it was o, they were asked to leave. (Cheeis.) He did not say that a slaveholder could not get luto heaven. By Si., i P"' h mlpht get In there. (Laughter.) Ihe Church should be very careful how it held tip a doctrine thej oilht think was wrong. He bad Introduced a lady to a sentleman. She asked him If he was a slaveholder, and held back her hand. The pcntleman defended the Ins'ltntinn of slavery, and the asked htm if he would keep np the system out ot reverence tor the Bible. (Laughter.) At the corners of the streets ot London there were immense gin palaces, and he was sorry fo say that a rreat mass of bis own countrymen were addicted to intemperance, which was a great cause of crime and insanity. And he le rretted to add that he had seen more intern, peranc in the streets of London in one night thnn be had seen in some weeks in New York. Tho people wanted places of healthful amuse ment and Instruction. They required play as w ell sb work ; and if tho people did not pl.iy and an, use themselves they would go to the public house and there destroy themselves. Ho spoke of large churches, and of bow they were conse crated to the worship of God. Would they, he asked, be less consecrated If they were filled with working people? He opened his church at hsl -past 8 o'clock on Monday evenings, and , instruction at that hour was given. During the Rebellion they instructed Ihe peoplo as to the rroeresa of the war, and kept them right on the various questions that then arose. Their speeches were reported in fhepnpeisandquot'd in the country. They kept tho people tight all ttrotiph this great struggle. The reverend gen tleman irferrcd to a speech which be had de livered iu I.'ccember, Ufil, about tho time of the Tient allalr, and quoted a lengthened extract fioni that oration, which wound np with a de claration that "never should the flag of Kng land be hoisted on the side of tyranny and oppression." (Cheers.) He l.nd the pvivil gc ot going through England while the war was waging in America, and of delivering lectures and speeches in reference to ihe contest and its causes. lie bad never heard of any person In Gieat Britain, who was iu favor of the North, receiving a penny for working in the carrving oil of the agitation. Many persons went about tho country fur the purpose of upholding the cause of the North ou their o wn responsibility. Ho hud teen oiten nut ot pocket for ex penses, nnd so it was with a greut many others in the country. At the time of the Alabama, he also delivered some lectures. Iu Liverpool tin re whs a great meeting in favor of the N rtb. Si me men In the gallery said they were in favor of the South; but when he expressed strong tentimcnts against the 6lave trade they were received with applause. He quoted from another speech, delivered October 20, )8(i2. In this speech the South and its institutions were severely ul tided to. The extract read by the speaker contained stinging references to "the w hip," "diabolical teaching," and so forth. The extract closed with these words: "We cannot have sympathy with slaveholders. They are trampling on the gospel they have the audacity to proiess. England may alienate the North, but she can never embrace tbe South." (Cheers.) Au empire f junded ou wrong was rotten through and through. He bad not been deputed by any ptrEon or body as a missionary to come to tLis country, lie came here as a private gen tleman to visit America and sec hio frleuds. lie trusted that he could return thanks to America. In a lew jenrs ho would have to build a church; they were going to do it. Thy wautcd thirty thousand pounds, nnd they could get It. It would be a good thing If they could put up a monument to Lincoln nearthaicliurcb; it would be a capital idea to show the Union that existed between America and England. Some friends hud taken the matter up. He had not aked any iedtvidval to subscribe to it; he merely men tioned it to his friends that they might know it. Having staled that the hud received some sub scriptions, he added I have not received a cent for expenses. I have refused cverv fee. A pen. tleman oflered to pay my expenses here, bat I sum iv w as my own piivateanair, and 1 declined Ins proiiered aid; and as to this meeting, I am Lot responsible tor any arrangement that has been made. You say the aristocracy of Bugland were against you. Let mo point you to Prince Albert (cheers) and to our gracious Queen. 1 had the pleasure of an interview the other day with Mr. liobert Lincoln, and he told me the reason why the Queen's letter to Mrs. Lincoln, on her bereavement, had never been published, was because it was so nre-emi- nc-ntlv tbe outpouiingni one woman to another, was so lull and so outspoken, that it would bo iudelie ate to rrake it public. On this declara tion I think I am entitled to claim Queen Vic toria s.o a friend of America. Among other friends the sneaker went on to notice Karl Tina. sell, who. tbougb he had erred, had had the grace to acknowledge his error; Lord Amber- ley, r.an itussell s ton: (Jladstoue. Milneriilh. son, and the l)uke of Aigjle, all members of the wovernnjcnt it power during the American war. Among members of Parliament hp men. tioned Tctcr Tavlor, Mr. Gilpin, Edward Baines, ol the Leeds Mercury, and John Bright. (Tho mention of Mr. Brighi's name was the signal for a tumultuous burst of cheering, wbieti lasted some time.) Aniens nhilosoohem tiiprp Professors Nnller, Cannes, Gold win Smith, and John Stuait Mill, who had remained stauuch to America; auu among prtvaie citizens the Hon. Mr. Stanley, scion ot a noble house, and Mr. Potter, Cobden's successor at Rochdale, who Lad spent $40,000 iu printing pamphlets for gratuitous distribution on the American question. Among the clergy he particular ized the Hon. and ltev. Baptist Noel. But it was said tho press was against America, and particularly the London Times, Ho denied that the limes represented the sentiment of the English nation. It was read by everybody be cause of the accuracy of its nows, aud the force and beauty ol its English, but no one minded what it said. There weto other Journals that day after day devoted themselves to the dissemi nation of correct information on American questions. Who was it. then, that was the enemy of America? Whom did they call the people? Those who gave large dinner parties and lode in carriages? Surely this could not be the opinion of America, where a man who was honest and industrious, thouph he enrned only five hundred dollars a jesr, and did not know bis own grandfather was regarded as Just as good a man as he whose income was five millions a year. The people of England, who stood side by side with Cromwell; the people from whom the Pilgrim Fathers sprung; tbe people who broke asunder tho fet ters of their own slaves; the people who, year by year, have been agitating for Parliamentary auel other reforms, were true to cmuuclpatiou and the Union.

By the graves oi our common ancestors sleeping ;ucath the ivy-covered towers in the peace! ul jraveyurds of the Old World, by the mi mrries ot Kunnymeade, of the ftpanibh armada, of Cromwell and the Pilgrim Futhers, by the great work of missions in which we are jointly e-ngaged, by the Saviour who Is the Sa viour of us all, I appeal to you to do all you can and pry all you can that our two nations may never be divided. Never let those two flags the stars of the one signifying tho stars of heaven, the cross of tho other reminding us of the great Emancipator of mankind never lot ihose to standards be borue against each other, or be ever engaged save in tho cause of truth and Immunity. Never let us give demons and despots such cause of Joy, and ungels such came of lamentation; but ever lot us two nations, mother aud daughter, or, if you prefer it, elder sister auu younger, go uanu in band through the world, promoting together the great interei rrests of peace and civilization, our only h l ry the rivalry of love.
