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. Let

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

arms, ot magazines and repositories of
material of war lor the Fenmna

M.iiMi.uus utiuiusi vai.uou. now, it tne Alabama
hud been deelan d to be tit'ed out for the service
of the Sou hem States, and it had been reported
that her n aaz;ne of ponder nnd her arms were
intended tor tl.eild of the South, not a single
moment would have been allowed to pass belorc
tlic Alabama woul l havo been seized. 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

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

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,

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

land; perhaps it did not prevail here. Two
hundred women during the last fouryears lost
their lives from tho foolish custom ofwearin"

(Laughter.) 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

Jho church of which ho had tho honor of
being psstor was IdentlUed with the love of
liberty. When Mrs. Beecher 8 owe was ia
Ongland, she was entertained by hi parishiou
eis and the ladies of the church to which ho
belonged had presented her with a silver ink-
5hUh nF1,1!1' of reP'e canie totliat
church. 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

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.

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

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. (Cheers.)
Fnll on, oh ship of state,

Humanity, with all tlx fears,
H hU all lis hopes of future years,
lluiigH breathless on thy lata.
Happily we aie nowno longer haruing breath
less ou jour fate, but we can say with the same
poet:
Our bear!!, onrhopps are all with thee.
Our hearts, our hones, our prayei.t, our tears,
Our laiili triuuiLliuut o'er uur rums.

Therefore, I call upon all good citizens of
Amines, as I shall call upou all the good citl
zens of Great Britain on my return, to proserve
peace and good leel'uig between tho two coun
tries. 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. (Loud cheers ) .
