Knglnml should show that sho is r power
which can assort her itilluenco nt a nio

ent condition in that reapeot? Have we
been caught Jnrppin g ? 1 have no with now
to claim am- merit lor her Majesty' gov
rrninonl to which they ate not entitled.
1 am not quite sure that, whoever might
liava tioen tho Minister of the (juuen,
their toreipn jioliey would hav-o l en ex
uctly the ganio as ours, and that as regards
1 heir preparation for eventual dangers and
duties, tlioy would have adop'.ed the sittne
course as wo have done. It is. therefore.
Jiot in any boastful spirit, but with, 1
no), tne t)econiin ju iUe ol an hnglish
inun speaking to LnglisJjmen, that I tell
you what is our situation. You have in
Indiii llHi.OUU seasoned nnd valiant trooim.
such as tho world, probubly, never saw be-
iire certainly oritial to that nrniy which
Wellington rendeieu immortal. (Cheers.)
A great portion ot that force ought to quit
Indit for England. They aro at our com
mand ; und if they como hero it is not
from necessity of tins country, but because
t lie nappy course ot allatrs in Inuiu. and
tho position of the Indian government
make it desirable that they fliould return
home. Yon have in England ilself at this
moment lU(l,OO0 men, not equal, perhaps,
to these who have been seasoned in the il
lustiious campaigns of India, but diciplin
ed, and I need not mid brave soldiers,
since tliry ure your countrymen. (Cheer?.)
I was told by one of the honorable gentle
men w ho preceded tnethat nothing would
sati.-fy bin) but that we should have a
powerful ileet in the Channel. You will
have before six weeks have passed, not
only a powerful tleet in the Channel but
ulson powerful ileet in the Mediterraears.
(Cheers.) What nation in the world, then,
can compare with England? For, with
all these, you have a condition of your fi
nances which is li)Oit wholesome and
healthy; and theso great armaments,
which w ill never be exercised except for
your defence, or for tho maintenance of
your honor and the vindication of your
absolute interests, will bo supported by a
people lightly taxed, gteatly prospering.
and whose heart and soul are with the in
stitutions of their country, ('.'beers.) Why
then, are wo to be alarmed ? Why, ought
we not rather to feel that ours is tho po
sition to give temperate counsels, prepa
red as tv shall bo to support those coun
;els with that authority which belongs to
a counsellor w ho is known to be strong.
(I'iiecrs.) lid t what is tho condition of
other countries! I shall not single out
for remark any particular .State, .Sovereign,
King, Emperor or dominion ; but wo have
seen something of European war on a
great fci.lo within our recent exporienee ;
and let ns look to the ways and means by
which those haughty princes nnd their
mighty armies entry on war. Why, when
the second campaign comes the shoe al
ways pinches. (Hear.) 1 cannot seo that
there is any Continental l'ovtei' which can
enter upon a third campaign (Cheers.)
I know very well it is sometimes observed
thatnt the great French revolution Mr.
Pitt said that Franco was in such a state
ol insolvency ',hat she could not hold out
for two campaigns, and yet tho war lasted
twenty rive years. That is nil very true,
but then gre.tt French revolutions do not
happen very frequently. Little French
reolutions may. (Laughter and cheers.)
The great French revolution is to modern
what tho scigo of Troy was to ancient
history, and it is not going to be repeated.
We know very well that nar ,is ultvays a
Vi-ry costly operation, has immensely in
creased in its expenditure from the cir
cumstances under which it is now waged.
Your" armies ?.re larger, munitions ore
much more extravagant, your artillery
now costs as much as the whole of your
armaments in old days, and tho means of
destruction are much more complete.
Well, what is the condition of England I
Tho world has been startled by an an
nouncement made within these feivdays
that a grert sovereign Las gone down "to
his Council and obtained a vote of twenty
millions ot money to carry on tho war.
Tho world seems quite frightened at a
monarch who can raise twenty millions
tho funds fall, and everybody thinks that
even tho independence of England is
threatened. , What is twenty millious of
money by way of loan to carry on war?
It goes like water. A Voice, " But then
XStiO.OOO.noO. Why, X800,00(),(W0, if own
oil by on industrious at d free people, is a

seems quite frightened by our national
debt.' ("No, no," and laughter.) Let mo
tell you Low England carries on war.
An Emperor of the French, or of Rus
sia, or of Austria, has a loan of twenty
millions nil to be spent in a year ; and
allow mo to remind you that that is an
experiment which cannot bo very often
repeated. (A laugh.) But what doei tho
Queen of England do ? .She goes down to
her rarliamens, and with their concur
rence, by ono singlo tax, and that not
heavily imposed, can in an emergency
raise twenty millions per annum. (Cheers.)
Why, if the country were in danger, wo
cpul'd. by the aid of tho income tax alone ;
and God forbid that this should ever come
to rass, or that I should be the Chancel
nr of tho Exe.heouer to nronose it

When I know these things I am not in-

It is Europe that will be desolated, and
the very potentates whose prido nnd am
bition, and lust of conquest uto bringing
about this perilous state of affairs, will
und themselves at tho end in an interior
position to that which they now occupy.
(Cheers.) Gentlemen, wo lieur a gieat
deal of the balance of power, of the im
portance ot sustaining certain barriers in
Europe, nnd many other axioms, all of
which to a certain degreo are true, and
which mttv for a certain time continue to
prevail. But let mo take this opportu
nity ot impressing upon you tlutt tue U.iy
is coming, if it has not already come,
when the question of the balance of pow
er cannot be confined to Europe alone.
Sinco the time when that doctrine, ob
tained great communities huvo risen in
another hemisphere, who will not permit
tlio balance ot power to lie limited to l.u
rope. You l.avo on tho other side of the
Atlantic vigorous and peaceful communi
ties, who will no longer submit to vour
circumscribed theory of authority. The
Australian colonies, though now in their
youth, but in the youth of giants, have
already, as it were, thrown their colossal
shadow over Europe. And it is for old
huropo I lament that she is exhausting
he energies and her resources iu these
wars. I could wish that she would rather
prepare for that awful competition which
incoming times she must encounter. 1
would rather seo France, nnd Germany,
nnd Kus.sia develop their resources, im
prove their agriculture, incense their
population, and cultivate the arts of life,
social nnd scienlilic, instead of wasting
their strength, risking their stabilitv, otui
sinking when tho era to which I have re
ferred arrives, by their own mismanage
ment and want of prescience, into an in
ferior and exhausted position, Hetncri:
her always that England, though she is
bound to Europe by tradition, by affec
tion, by great similarity of habits, and all
those ties which time alone can create
and conseeiate, is not a mere I'owerof tho
Oid World. Her geographical position,
her laws, her language anu religion, con
nect her as much with the New World as
with tho Old. And al though she lias oc
cupied not only an emim nt, but I am
bold to say, tho most eminent position
among European nations for ages, still, if
ever Europe, by her short-sightedness,
falls into nn inferior ond exhausted state,
for England there will remain un illustri
ous future. (Cheers.) Wo oro bound to
the communities ot the ew World, ami
those great Stntcs which our own plant
ing and colonizing energies have created,
by ties and by interests which will sustain
our power und enable ns to play ius great
a part in the time yet to come as wo do
in theo days und as we huvo done in the
past. (Cheers.) And, therefore, now that
Europe is on tho eve of war, I say it is for
Europe, not for England, that my heart
sinks. And this I hope, that it w ill be
by tho influence of England that the un
happy struggle which has just opened
may bo one of short duration ; that it may
be limited in its range ami local in its
character ; and thot after some brief en
counters of arms both France ami Austria
may feel that it would bo well, by the in
fluence of those who have not been se
duced by their political passions, to ter
minate their strife and secure at the same
time the better government of Italy and
tho peace of tho world. (Cheers.)
Noni.E Sentiments. This is an agrcea
lle world after all. If wo would only
bring ourselves to look at the subjects that
surrounds us in their true light, wo should
seo beauty whero wo beheld deformity,
and listen to harmony where we heard
nothing but discord. To bo sure, there is
a great deal of vexation and anxiety, to
meet, we cannot sail on a summer coast
forever ; yet if we preserve a calm eye und
a steady hand, we can so trim our sails
and manago our helm, as to avoid the
quicksands, and weather tho storms that
threaten shipwreck. Wo aro members of
ono great family ; wo aro travelling the
samo road, nnd shall arrive at tho samo

It is unbecoming then that brother should
bate brother ; it is not proper that friend
should decoive friend, it is not right that
neighbor should deceive neighbor.
We pity that man who can harlor en
mity against his fellow ; ho loses half the
onjoment of life ; he ombittors his own ex
istence. Let us tear from our eyes the
colored medium that invests every object
with tho green hue of jealousy and suspi
oion ; turn ft deaf enr to tho scandal ;
breathe a spirit of charity from your
hearts ; let tho rich gushings of human
kindness swell up ns a fountain, so tlit't
the, 'golden age" will booomo no fiction,
and the islands of the blessed, bloom in
more than "Hyperion beauty."

Scene in a Railroad Car.
Last Snlurdnv an exciting incident oc
curred on the 1 lover I'lnins train of tho
Harlem Railroad, which leaves Twenty
sixth street at four o'clock, P. M., A cen
tlemnn entered tho car at tho depot at
Twenty-slxth street, nnd being tho first
or ono of tho first in tho car, selected a
pleasant seat. .Shortly after another gen
tleman entered tho kudo car, deposited
his shawl in the seat behind the first, and
then left tho car. Some ladioi entering
afterward removed tho shawl, and placed
it in the seat by the first gentleman. The
owner of tho sliuwl come back, rather rude
ly informed tho other that he had taken
his sent and had moved his shawl. The
gentleman who occupied the seat inform
ed llio other that such was not tho caso ;
that ho had len tho first man in tho car,
had selected that scat and had retained it
till the present time. Tho other then
said, "You may as well tell mo 1 lie,
then ;" and after some other words the
lie was given on both sides. F. Williams,
Esq., who sat near, informed the owner of
the shawl that he was in the wrong, nnd
stated to him the facts of tho cose. Tho
ears moved ofi'.tuid the belligeranU sat
tide by side. The quarrel, it seems, was
resumed on tlie road, and at Tremont, we
believe, the gentleman who first occupied
the seat told tho other ho would slap his
face, nnd nrose and went out, tho other
followed him. They stood facing one an
other, and tho gentleman was ns good as
his word, and slapped tho other's face.
The one who was slapped thereupon drew
a heavy bowio knife, nnd attempted to
stab the other, who caught his arms and
held him off for n moment.' But the one
with tho knife wrenched 'himself free,
made n stroke nt tho other, who was on'
tirely unarmed, nnd followed him up the
platform, striking blows, nt pvery step, us
ing the knife as a heavy sword. The cars
began to move ofT, the tunn with the.knife
sprang on board, and the other was left
nt the station. The greatest exciteuent
immediately prevailed on tho car. Jlr.
X.C. Hart asked the assailant for his name.
He said that his name was Tucker, but
refused to give his address. Ho. was sur
rounded by the passengers, who were loud
with their expressions of indignation.
Several gentleman endeavored to obtain !

Tucker, we are informed, is the same who j
challenged Daniel E. Sickles. No officer j

The Deacon and the Irishman.
Under this bead we find the following
amusing story going the rounds.
A few months ago as Mr. IngalN, of
Snapscolt, 11. I., was travelling the west
ern putt of the Stale of New York, lie
fell in with an Irishman who had lately
arrived in this country, and was in quest
of a brother who cfttne before hint and
settled in tome of the diggings in that vi
cinity. Pat wns a strong athletic man, a true
Catholic, and had never seen the inside
of a Protestant church. It was a pleasant
Siiudav morning that brother Ingalls met
Pat, who inquired the road to church.
lie tnl Pat lie was going to church him
self, and invited his new acquaintance to
keep him company thither, (his place of
destination being a small Methodist house
near by.) There was a great revival there
nt the time, and one of the Deacons (who
by tho way is very small in stature) in
vited brother Ingalls to take a seat in his
pew. Ho accepted tho invitation, nnd
walked in. followed by Pat, who in vain
looked to find the alter, Ac. After he
was seated ho turned to brother Ingalls
nnd in a whisper that could bo heard nil
around inquired :
'Sure, and isn't this a hirrilick church ?"
"Hush," said Ingalls, "if you speak a
loud word they will put you out."
"And faith, not a word will I spake at
all." replied Put.
The meeting was opened with a prayer
by the Pastor. Tat was eyeing him very
closelv, when an old gentleman who was
standing in the pew, directly in front of
Pat, shouted "Ulory : '
' .list, ye clear demon," rejoined Tat,
with his loud whisper, which was plainly
heard by the minister, "be daecnt ond
don't make a blackguard of yoursel1'."
The parson grew more and more fer
vent in his devotions. Presently tho Dea
con uttered on audible groan.
"llist-t t, ye blackguard, hnve ye no
daeency at nil ?" said Pat at the same
moment giving the deacon a punch in the
ribs which causod l.im nearly to looso his
equilibrium. Tho minister stopped, and
extending his hand in a supplicating
manner, said
"Brethren wo cannot bo disturbed in
this way. Will somo ono put that man
out?" '
"Yes your rivironee," shouted Tat, "1
will," nnd suiting tho action to the word,
he collared the Deacon, anil to the laugh
ter ond utter astonishment of all present
including the pastor nnd brother Ingalls,
ho drugged him through the aisle, and
with a tremendous kick he landed him in
the vestibule of tho church.

engaged in hauling ashore a net, was

Interesting Surgical Operation
A caso of surgery recently occurred in
this town, which has excited much inter
est oven beyond the parties immediate
ly concerned, and wo have obtained the
following particulars of tho operation,
which seems to us intetesting :
Mr. J. IS. Phelps, o much respected cit
izen of L'upei t, in this State, had tho mis.
fortune, about eighteen mouths sinoe to
break his arm in two places, bolow tho el
bow. The arm was set by physicians, hut
tho broken bones failed to unite at either
break, nnd tho orm and hand bceamo en
tirely useless. .Some months after the no-'
cident, Mr. P. in the hopo of relief, placed
himself in a hospital in a neighboring city,
and there underwent ten severe opera
tions for tho purpose of inducing union of
the broken bones, hut with no cllect.
Under these circumstances in December
last nearly a year after tho accident, Mr.
Phelps applied to Prof. Sanborn (of Castle
ton Medical College,) who advised and
performed an operation which saved and
entirely restored I ho injured limb. It
consisted in first cutting down and expos
ing the broken ends of tho bones dissec
ting out the pristh' substance thai had
form ad between and lo.ul tho ends of
the fragments then drilling Holes through
each broken piece and lastly insoithiga
stout silver wire, and twisting it tightly so
as to bring tho fractured parts together.
Duly ono uf tho fractures was thus treated
at the first operation. At tho end of six
weeks tho hone operated on had frown to
gether, and the wire was removed. After
an interval of three weeks tho remaining
fraeturo was treated in the tome man
ner nnd in four weeks tho bono was
firmly united, nnd tho wire was removed.
The euro is complete thenrm is as strong
as ever and every motion unimpaired, not
withstniling the severity of these operations.
Mr.Phelpsprofered to undergo them with
out tho use of ether, nnd he returned
home last week in high spirits at tho res
