The occanlon of the season was tlio comparatively private but nrhtrche dinner given a few evening i ago to Prince Arthur and a few solect notables, b lion. Simon Cameron, the distinguished Senator from Pennsylvania. It was a memorable occanlo I for the Rcvcnth baby of the prolldo Crown-Mother o England. It Introduced the rollicking scion o British royalty to the cultivated statesmanship or the United Stales, and proved to him that, uud or our beneficent institutions, the humblest child of the Republic may attain dazzling greatness, through tti : most romantic and extraordinary vicissitudes of life As the bill ruthlessly thrust upon tho host or the sublime occasion by the caterer is still In dispute, I maliciously decline to state where the entertainment was had.

It is needless to describe the Interesting operation of masticating the tempting dinner. Ample justice was done to It, and It was not only a feast of the choicest edloles, but truly a "feast of reason and flow of soul.' After devoting three hours and thirty four minutes to satisfying tho animal man from the profusion of delicacies under which the table groaned, the cloth was removed, and the tall, Im posing form of the venerable Senator rose to Its fullest perpendicular majesty, his Intellectual face benignant with smiles, and with a force and elegance that could be;acqulred only by seventy years of cul ture and refinement, he lisped tho following senti ment: Our noble guest. Tho toast was welcomed by the entire company rising to their feet, and touching their lips reverently with their empty wine glasses. The Prince blushed, but after the murmurs of applause died out, ho cjl loctcd himself, and rose to acknowledge the compli ment. Ee said : Ilemnrka by Young Air. Guelph.

There was profound silence as the silver tones of the songster gently faled away into stillness, after which Mr. Cameron rose and said: Honored Guests: I regret that the wine is out. Until recently I bad an abundance. While Lsuman was a candidate for Marshal, I had plenty, but there liave been no liquor merchants candidates recently, and the cellar la empty. I am opposed, solely on the erlnolDle of the thing, to paylug the exorbitant prices oharged here for champagne, and as my last t'lft was a case of cheap sherry, I bare, without hesitation, appropriated an entire bottle for this fati occasion.

And It is charged that I do not ad here dogmatically to error when my reason is con vinced, ami duty demands that I should commend where I have censured.

How beautifully the inspired poet has written "Inconstant! are the waters ai That fall In showers on hill and plain Then, tired of what they find below, Itide on the sunboams back again ?"

(Confusion in the company, and dis approbation manifested in various ways.) But to return to more pleasant themes. I hare done with political ambition ; I have seen hundreds of tctts deserving men covered with garlands, but "I cannot call one single blossom mine." I was rewarded for my dislutcrcited devotion to my new party by being denounced ou the floor of the Senate as a defaulter; but the calm came after the storm justice followed the poisoned. shafts, and one year after the eharge was made, and just one year after everybody knew that it was untrue, our noble and generous host vindicated me on the same floor where the charge had been made. (Cheers by Cameron, Brewster, and Train.) I have In a desultory manner referred to these in cidents In my own career to Illustrate to our noble guest of the Royal Family of England, the beautr, simplicity, and purity of our institutions, and to de monstrate to his young and impressible mind how merit only can attain the high honors of a free peo ple.

It is a woman that keeps Ireland in chains. (Hisses and groans and upsetting of chairs here cut short the remarks of the eloquent Fenian.) The worthy host then, with an eloquent preface, proposed tho huiilth of Jenkins. A Few Word by Our Own." I rose much disconcerted, and alter saying that It was my vocation to record and correct the speeches of others rather thau to play the part of orator my self, 1 added that 1 would close by proposing the following sentiment : Our Host. The entire company rose, and there was a general Jingling of empty glasses heard through the din of applause. When quiet was resumed, the vouerable Senator rose, with eloquence beaming from every lineament of his classic face, and said: Kiiiu I'nmrrn on IiIh lew In IJeneriil. nml ou bin own Uureer In I'urltciihir. Friends, Countrymen, and Nobles : since the elo quent tributes paid me by tho noble Prince, our royal guest, and my plebeian but not less valued friend Colonel Forney, I cannot resist the inclination to portray some of the beauties of our free institutions by a brief history of my own humble life and its steady progress, over many obstacles, to the full stature of statesmanship. I commenced life when quite young, and had the usual miuchlcvouB pro pensities of boys, while boing flogged through the country schools. My 11 rat distinction in lire was as a financier. I managed to make myself cashier of the Middletown Bank, and made tho best possible use of the position. Indeed, by a bold and well-nigh original stroke of financial strategy, I attempted to distribute judicially the surplus fund, which had become cumbrous; but my patriotic purpose was sadly frustrated by the Impertinence and contracted views of the courts of my county. In an evil hour they made me refund the money and divide it equally with the stockholders, just as if It all belonged to them. I managed the Institution so well that 1 could often get liberal allewances for legislation, extra services, etc. But even with all the facilities I possessed, making money, the chief corner-stone of statesmanship, was, painfully slow. My ambition was to become a statesman, and receive the applause of ray countrymen ; but as they would elect me only by paying for their votes, and appluud me only as I promised them offices, I found it necessary to Uud gome more rapul way of getting money in my purse. At last a favorable opportunity presented for com bining philanthropy and profit in one great enter prise. The Lone Indians ol the Winnebago pereua slon were entitled to receive a large sum of money from the Government. I applied for the position of Agent to pay them, aud got it from my old friend General Jackson. I drew the gold, deposited it la my bank, and took to the romantic haunts of the Wlnnebagoes Its exquisitely engraved but sadly depreciated notes. Ou my clerical staff were several young and accomplished gentlemen, who had a nioBt patriotic and humane appreciation of the sons of tne forest. We soon saw that, while the Indians must be paid because the law required it, the less they really received the less rice would be engendered among them. We paid them in our beautiful notes, and then, having discharged our official duty, we devoted ourselves to improving the condition of the onoe noble Red Man. We did It in various ways. Not only did we furnish them bountifully, while their money lasted, with beads, trinkets, whisky, Jand other delicacies, which, by the merest accident, we happened to bare with us, thus improviug the moral status of the tribe, but the next year mere was visible and acknowledged physical improvement in the papooses of the Wlnnebagoes. (KntljuslasUc cheers by the Prirce.i We generously remslifl'l Willi the time until tii.-ir money ws all exchanged back to us for out articles of merehan dine; and then, as they hu l no money t tempt them to sin, or to tempt r-ad men to defrsu l them, we left, tlum wiser, and, I would lain hope, happier belnji.

(Applause by Forney.) 1 he accident of my devotion to the tariii; tosttstatn my furnaces, made me able to msko a guerilla dash lnv tne Senate In I94fi. over Judge Woodward. I seTv'T promised tho Whigs everything, and also secretly promised tho bolting Democrats every thing, so as to be partial to either. I was thus elected, and became a Statesman. (Applause by the company.) When my fraction of a term expired I fonnd t had won for myself a singular uniformity of appre ciation In both parties. Neither tt them elected any legislators favorable to my re-elcoHon. I bowed sadly to this palpable ingratitude, and became a rail road contractor and gave fat contracts to myself and confederate. I thus grew rich while waiting for a chance to buy fresh political honors. The op portunity came In ISM. I had been Impartial be tween the two parties made a speech for the Demo crats the night before the election, and joined an Irregular Know-Nothing lodge the noxt night, when It was certain that i they had swept the 8tat. Some men war with fate. I do not. I accept, the result of elections I bow to tho will of the people. (Applause by the company.) The party that the people put in powor Is my party. Vox pnwli vox Uei ! (Thunders of ap plause.) I at once became a Know-Nothing candi date for United States Senator. I bought all I could with promises-some obstinate aud distrustful men had to pay down, and many others would not be i i I. latall. In short, I was defeated, and a com iti tor Investigation was reckless enough to put the records of the Legislature that I was a vena man. Some ol them have r luce gracefully repented, as 1 gavo them comfortable ottlces. In 19M another opportunity offered. The Demo crats had three majority lu the Legislature. My magnanimous friend, Colonol Forney, became the Democratic nominee. The Republicans could not elect a man of their choice, they could succeed only with a man, like myself, sufficiently energetic to attract several Democratic votes. 1 entered the flght, consolidated the Republicans, and Lcbo, Maneer, and Wagonseller come Into my camp and elected me. They did it honestly (Forney, otto vocr, "a lie"), aud I honored them for It. They were persecuted for my sake, and have keen made wanderers on the face of the earth, but I have ever felt grateful to them, and I hope that posterity wilt do them justice. Another Investigation followed, and again the black blot of venality was, upon the most frivolous pretexts, put on record against me. In 18C0 it was manifest that tho Republicans would carry the State and natiou. I was sintering for want of a character. My last place of service In the Democracy not only refused to recommend me, but actually used harsh names in characterizing my public and private acts. 1 found fiat Penn-. sylvania had uo candidate for the Presidency. I entered tho Hell; not seriously, as every body of sense knew, for I have always carefully avoided seeking oilioe through the glo rious uncertainty of elections, but I wauled to get a Presidential certificate or character. I promised wealth to the venal, distinction to the ambitious, and honors to fools. I hud no competition, but never theless one-third of the convention voted egalnat me, and I had to barter Covodo oir to Mct'lure for Curtiu to get even a rump President nomination. But I was named for President, and thus got a char acter. I made fair weather with Lincoln ; I collected money from my rrlends and generously contributed it to Senatorial candidates, who would have a vote for the next United States Senator, and took their notes for It. I also collected liooo and made a gift of It to carry Lincoln's Senatorial district, by which Senator Trumbull was re-elected. These princely contributions I made to the Republican cause were published in the newspapers, aud I claimed a Cabi net appointment from Lincoln. It Is due to truth to say that Father Abraham reluctantly pnt me in his Cabinet, aud gladly turned me out the first chance he got. An obstinate aud discordant Con gress censured me, by resolution, for wasting the public money upon friends and relations, aud capital ists had the audacity to refuse loans to our struggling Government unless the. wholesale stealing of the War Department should be arrested. I resigned. After the President had dismissed me, I thought it proper to tender my cordial resignation, and It was gratefully accepted. (Applause.) I went to Russia, but found nothing to my taste there. The Eaiperor hod removed the crown jewels to Siberia, and con tracts were not to be had. In 1SG3 a vacancy occurred in the United States Senate, and I returned home to look after it. I col lected all the money I could from contractors, aud loaned much of it to legislative candidates, some times even without security, and tried to carry tho Legislature, but the people were unappreclative, and elected one Democratic majority. I resolved to buy one of the majority ; I assessed the cost (820,000), with fifty per cent, excess to cover Incidentals, from my pet contractors, and hired Mr. Boyce to give me the needed vote ; but he betrayed me and "squealed.' I therefore not only lost my election, but lost some or the money I had collected, and narrowly es caped disgrace. Another investigation was had, and another malignant charge or rascality was trumped up against me to disfigure the records or our State. Tho illogical result or the inventigation was the adoption of a resolution requesting the At torney-General to prosecute me for irregularity of conduct. During the remainder of Lincoln's relgu I devoted myself to disposing of ofllces uud contracts, and when Johnson whirled off I whirled oil' with him, as long as he had anything worth whirling for. When he became the setting sun I turned and bowed to the rising political luminary, aud voted to impeach Johnsou. I bad good reason to know that he de served it, aud I scorned the corrupting Influences which ciTected his acquittal. (Applause.) In 18CT another Senator was to elect, and as the lengthened shadows ef my days admonished me that I must be elected then or retire rorever, I struck out from the shoulder from the start. I collected 1100.000 from my contractors to foot ex penses. I loaned it rreely to legislative candidates, but two-thirds or them came to llarrislmrg cither Bledircd or instructed for Governor Curtiu. Never was there such a popular infatuation; and I had to resist the sweeping current with cash and promises. I hired a clear majority of the members at a nominal cost of 1250,000, and carried the election over such giants as Stevens, Curtln, Forney, Grow, Moorhead, aad others. To save my money, I immedi ately raised an Investigation of the election by a committee that was hired, out unpaid, and thus deferred most of the payments until flie close or the session. In that way, and by promising all the Federal ofllces for six years, I set tled the t'260,009 with about $71,000, and had the oince and a margin in cash by the operation. (Cheers by the Prince.) But If there is a silver lining to every cloud, there is also a sting to every flower. I love my friends, and am always willing to reward them when It costs me nothing. I mourn their decline and fall, and so perverse ran the current of the popu lar mind, that of those who voted for me hardly enough survived to have saved the Clttis of the Plain. New men usurped their places, and old and valued friends were piled up In hecatombs along the path of ray aa vancement. (Spontaneous applause by Forney, but suddenly ohecked.) Graut came Into power, ne Judged me harshly. I piped, but he danced not ; I mourned, but he wept not : I begged, but be responded not. I found that I must be mora than myself to compass bis favor. I must have an agreeable and pliable associate. I plunged Into the Legislature, bought It, made tho Treasury pay what little was paid of the large i amount promised, and gave Mr. Joliu Scott a seat by my aide In the Senate. Thus with the power of two Senators, I have hail trouble V hold my own with the Administration, turtin was appointed and con firmed In spite of me, ami many ofllces have been disposed of to strangers to my circle that t had promised to my friends. I came within ono of hav ener my son placed In the Cabinet, General Grant opposed It, ann il Il'.-i Tmaiiy MevaUed over my w!?!?s In tho matter; but I he recently bech per muted to dine with .

Such, my friends, Is the thorny way to distinction In American statesmanship. It is narrow way, and few there be that go tu thereat; but It has Its rich compensations in the admiration and gratitude of the people. My history beautifully itlugtratos our free Institutions the happy blending of morlt and fitness necessary to attain renown tn our Govern ment ; and here, before the royal blood of England, I drink to "My own, my native land I" (Vociferous applause.) Senator Cameron then proposed : The late and prospective Attorney-GeneraL Th Kx-trnordlnary ind Fn-peclnnl II. If. B. Mr. Brewster, who was attired to a clarct-colorcd dress-coat with white satin facings, a buff waistcoat with brass buttons, frilled shirt and cuff, rose to his feet when the applause bad subsided, and, clearing his voice Willi a stiff alass of tan lie vir. spoke as follows : Alfred! Patrick! Albert! Pardon the fami- millarlty wlUi which I greet you, but from the mo ment you were sprinkled at the baptismal font until the present hour I have never ceasod to desire that I might behold the royal presence that bore so glo rious a trio of names Alfred the good king, Patrick the patron saint of a great people, Albert the wise statesman and illustrious sire. Alfred! Patrick! Albert! A. P. A., worthy representative of a great Protestant people, I welcome you. It may be unknown to those who are aiding me here this evening in tendering to you the hospitali ties or the occasion, that your good mother deemed It eminently proper you should bring with you, rrom across tho ocean, letters of Introduction to the re presentative men of the Great Republic, and I am proud, your Highness, to have been the recipient of three such missives from my nobie friends of the T. pper House In Westminster. In presenting you to my "generous custody," to quote their language, they knew I should never be unfaithful to the trust; for they are well advised that my reputation for chaste decorum whllo upon foreign shores equalled that which I am proud to bear amongst my fellow citizens at borne; and If, sir, the allurements of vice which prevail amongst a growing and a prosperous people should for the moment tempt you (as I am sure they will not), these noble friends of mine will know that my restraining luftuence would Instantly be exerted. But, Mr. Senator, I did not rise to speak of our distinguished guest. The young Prince doubtless would prefer hearing -of those who surround him; and in response to the handsome sentiment with which you have been pleased to honor we, I can only say that I am simply what I am no more, no less. The estimation lu which I am held by the people of this i ation, and especially by those discriminating and Judicious citi.eD.s or my native city, must bo taken as the true measure of my deserts. lour Highness, it was early in the seventeenth century that my ancestor, a dissenting peer of tho lealm, became a deck hand of the May Flower. The self-sncrlllciug sense of duty which actuated him .upon that occasion has been the pillar of Are and cloud which has piloted my footsteps through a somewhat eventful life. Pure, pious, self-denying. modes-t, unassuming, virtuous, trutiiful, like my Illustrious Puritan progenitor; I have endeavored to be, and how far I have succeeded these my friends around you cau best testify. (The Prince at this moment made a hurried survey of the faces at the table, and was assured by a concerted nod all around that die eminent speaker Inadequately expressed his oivn high merits.) When quite a lad, my beloved father marked out for me a career as an oic lawyer; no prizes or the forum were to be within my reach; but at an early age I broke these parental shackles and flung my self with such vehemence into the forensic arena that L outstripped my competitors, nud was early proclaimed the Nestor of the bar. Clients flocked In upon me, tho wealthy planter of the South was my best patron, and when 1 cease my gratitude to that distinguished race of true gentle men, may I cease to bo worthy the homage of those who now so Idolize me. The legal lore of the days when Lord Clive with the sword, aud British legisla tors and jurists with tho statute-books, administered justice to a rebellious people In Himloostan, stood mo well upon those occasions ; and many a time the emergencies of the occasion compelled me to Illustrate my cause with the torture of the Sepoy. In defense of the law of Congress familiarly called the Fugitive Slave law, I W8S the champion of a proud and chivalrous section ; but, sir, when the light or their greatness became suddenly dimmed by the unpleasantness or 1SC1, and they threatened to destroy the rubric of oar Government, at great personal and pecuniary sacrifice I became their im placable foe. Time rolled on, aud the day or my compcnKalion by a gratoful peoplo at length arrived, and to the distinguished statesman who otllclates at this board am I Indebted for being made the first law oillcer of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But, your Highness, be not astonished at the lilgh-souudlng title, as I see you are, for assuredly you will be deceived It you imagine it bears any analogy to the ofllce of Attorney-General of your kingdom. Here, sir, I was compelled to exist upon tho pittance of 700 per annum, forbid den to accept fees other thun my oillciul emolu ments (and or course, as a man of honor, descended from a Turitan ancestor, I never did rccoivo any) ; the result of which was that I was compelled to sell my carriage, horses, uud footmen aud curtail my household expenses. (Here tho Prince interrupted by asking what ho got ror his root men, at which tho orator expressed surprise, for he was sure he hadn't said anything about selling his footmen; but Colonel Forney whis pered to his Highness something about the Emanci pation Proclamation, the urteentu amendment, aud the word "white." and Mr. Brewster, taking another haul at the brandy, continued) : After devoting myself unremittingly for three years to the interests of the Commonwealth, I was compelled, lu obedience to the demands of several corporations, clients, to decline a reappointment, but the distinguished Ciller Magistrate of the State Insisting that I should nominate my successor, I did so, and he now gracefully Oils the ofllce. I have really, your Highness, said more than I Intended to about myself, but it is a subject upon which I am accustomed to grow eloquent, and you must pardon me. I trust, sir, before you take your departure I may have the honor of a visit from you at Washington, where it is probable I shall be ca.led upon urgent business which may detain me for a couple of years. Gentlemen, I propose to you the health or Her Majesty the Queen or Great Britain and Ireland, the domestic mouarcb ; may we emulate her domestic virtues. 'Klrbard'a Illmiielf Axalii," Once More. The sentiment, Our ex-Mayor," was then given by the Hon. John W. Forney. The Right Hon. Sir Richard aux, ex-M. p., Esq., slowly and majestically rose to his reet, aud spoke as follows: The Hon.
