The London Times of the 3th inst. pub- Ilehed a correspondence between an aboli tionist committee in Boston, rc..Ltnes 12En- PATH, BeCtetaty." and Lord BROUGHAM. An invitation, dated Nov. 2, 1860, invited Lord BROUGHAM to attende public convention, to be held in Boston on December 3d, there to readdress them in reply to the question, so vital to the Interests and the honor of our country and the progress of freedom in the world,—re How can American slavery be abolished?" The anniversary of the death of Tenn %tows, t; who, on the 2d of Decem ber, 1859, was killed for attempting to decide this problem in the mode that he believed to be the most efficient, is an occasion peculiarly appropriate for the discussion of our duty to the rase for whom he suffered, and more espe cially for the unfolding of practical methods for achieving the holy object he desired to at tain by his descent on Harper's Ferry, Vir ginia." The Committee (who aro t; earnestly desirous of devoting themselves to the work of eradicating slavery in the United States,") further intimated to Lord BROUGHAM that he, and others, who should attend, would be rr ex pected in his speeches or letters- to confine himself exclusively to the great question of the day, for it would be a work of supereroga tion now to defend Joint Paceem, and a use less waste of time to eulogize him. Leaving both of these duties to the coming ages, lot us seek to continue his life by striving to accom plish what he lefi , us to finish." The reply sent to this invitation is at once able and characteristic, and pretty considera bly throws cold water upon the doctrines avowed by the committee in their invitation to Lord BROUGHAM. Here it Is I " BBovaneir, Nov. 20 "Sul ; I feel honored by the levitation to attend the Boston Convention, and to give ray Opinion upon the question, How can American slavery be abolished?' I Consider the application is made to me as conceiving me to represent the anti slivery body in this country ; and I believe that I speak their sentiments, as well as my own. in expressing the widest deference of opinion with you upon the. merits of those who promoted the .Harprr's Ferry expedition, and upon the fate of those who suffered for their conduct in it. No one will doubt my earnest desire to see slavery extinguish ed; but that desire can only be gratified by lawful means—a strict regard to the rights of property, or what the law declares to ee property, and a constant repugnance to the shedding of blood. No man can be considered a martyr unless he not only suffers, but is witness to the truth : and he does not bear this testimony who seeks a lawful object by illegal means. Any other coarse taken Cot the attolitien of olqvery can only delay the consumma tion we se deiroqtly wish, bpsidea ee'posing the oommunity to the hazard of an itourrection, per haps lees hurtful to the master than the slave When the British emanolpation was finally carried it was acoomplished by steps, sad five years elapsed between the commencement of the mea sure in 1833 and its completion in 1838. "The deolaratlon of the law which pronounced a slave free as soon as he touched British ground (erroneously moribed to the limglish aonrts under Lord Mansfield, but really made by the judges in Scotland) may seem to be ineonsistent with the prinbiple new laid down. But I ant bund to ex press my doubts of such a deciston would have been given had Jamaica touched upon the coasts of this country. It is certain that the judges did not intend to declare that all property in slaves should instantly cease, and yet 11111013 would have been the inevitable effect of their judgment in the ease supposed, which somewhat resembles that of Amerioa " In the elevation of your new President all friends of America. of its continued Union, of the final extinetion-of slavery, by peaceful means, _tied of the utter immediate extinction of the exeorable slave trade—a/1 friends of the human rase must heartily rejoice They will, let us hope_prei,in him a powerful ally, as his country ar'see rule r _ finti ...1.11101. TO be, - I " Your faithful servant, "Baouomor James Bealpath, F:eq.. Boston, United States " The passages which we distinguished by putting them into Italics, are pregnant with matter for reflection. Lord Baonerum repu diates the principles and the practice of SOUR BROWN andhis adherents ; and his hint of what the British law-decision might have beon, as to the legality of slavery, had Jamaica touched the coasts of England, is extremely significant., Of course, the Duchessof —UTUERLAND, B. B. STOWE, and all of that school, will be horror-struck at 'Lord BROUGHAWO dictum. An Important Visit The visit of a committee of members of ' our Board of Trade of to a number of West ern cities,_ last fall, was not only gratify ing to those connected with it, but they were enabled to exercise a most salutary influence, by disseminating a knowledge of the great manufacturing and commercial facilities of our city, and by awakening among the merchants of the West and Northwest a desire to culti vate and establish more friendly and intimate business relations with Philadelphia than have heretofore existed. A. striking evidence of this fact is to be found in the circumstance that a large deputation is about to be sent by the Boards of Trade of Milwaukee, Chicago, and perhaps Cleveland, to make a return visit. They will probably reach here on Thursday next. Arrangements have already been made, and are now in progress, by the Board of Trade, members of the Corn xchange, and e i ther leadinF business men, to extend to those expected guests a cordial velcomo. W Kaye no doubt that the hospitalities of our city will be freely extended to them, and no effort spared to render their sojourn among us at once agreeable and promotive of the business Into rests of their own section and of our beautiful and flourishing city, There is a natural political, geographical, and commercial affinity between renn u lyania and the great belt of flourishing common wealths lying immediately west and northwest of her, which, if properly appreciated by those to whose keeping the commercial inter oats of this vast region have been committed, will forever cement them In bonds of indissolß7 ble 'friendship, and increase, with each new year, their intercourse as rapidly as the ad vancing tido of their population and wealth progresses. Whatever misfortunes may befall our nation, and whatever woeful changes or harassing events may betide us in this revolutionary era, the whole section to which wo have alluded has a common destiny, and its sons will stand shoulder to shoulder with each other, and never fqr a moment dream of converting the friendly relation which has always heretofore prevailed between them, into one of hatred and antagonism. Ono of the most pleasing features of the present aspect of the country in a mere mate rial point of view, is the fact that the energy and industry of the people of the great West, and the prolific harvests of last year, have ena bled her to rise Phoenix-like from the ashes, and to fully assume the wonted position of prosperity and comfort which the disas trons panic of 1857 for a time destroyed. Now that business in the South has come to almost a dead lock, it is more important than Aver that we should strain every nerve to im prove all the natural advantages we possess for ostensive business intercourse in ether direc tions, and it is particularly fortunate that at this period such gratifying evidence of the good will and kindly feeling of ono of the greatest and richest sections of the country is presented as the visit to which we have re ferred.

BUZ ACOURT OF ITS MlBoliflloll4, SCI4NERY, By Usekindness of the Presidents of the West Chester end of the new Baltimore Central roads, wrinade an excursion over the latter road on Wodmsday and nandsy of last woek. We were induced to do this by reason of the important purposes stitch the road Is destinedoo subserve, by the Intereting oharootor of the country which it has opensl up into direat cbmmuntoation with this city, and ilso by the very limited /bitch we made of it upon the occasion of its recent opening to Oxford The result of some superficial observations thus wade matey before the roadore of The Press .

The cost if the mule draught has been a serious expense n the corporation. During the summer, all traits started from Thirtysret moot, but many pamongors were aoriously inconvenienced by the clangs of terminus, and the old depot hos boon again restored. The following statement will exhbit the expense or tho teams from Novem ber 9,158, to January 1, 1860: Teaming passen gore, 3.1337.93; teaming freights, $1,50475; to tat, $6,152.88, Tolls paid to tho Pennsylvania and City Italroads for passenger oars, $2,919.87 ; for , freight, ;552.96 ; total tolls, $3,472 83.'

We cane to Media, fourteen miles from town, at nine o'obtk. The town is hidden from the road by roasm of the deep excavation through whiela the traol is laid. It is reached by a steep Stair way anda bridge arching the road. All that can be seen ire the jutting ends of the blasted ropks on one ale, and on the other some fields and woody bills etntahleg away. 4 half mile boyond, by n great Ridge, no arose Ridley creek, and behold from tbeoars a view indisputably superior to any thing anecedent.

'the spot bee a wild and fantastic appearance, not unlike some of the scenes upou the upper Juniata and Lehigh rivers Tho houses are built of varicolored steno,yatiegated fa places with blooks of green steno, which combine in them great strength and aonsidorable graco The hills now assume bolder outlines of curve, and rooks of great elzo crop out in places, We enter upon a domain of history almost coo -4al with that of Philadelphia. Here the Lennt Lune were the ancient dwellers; their villages clustered upon the banks of the streams, and the gray rooks that still lie on the steep hill-sides aro older than their traditions. The road to West Chester goon off to the northwest throup a deep cut, and we dad at the triangular depot at the junction a locomotive and three substantial oars awaiting us. These ears were built at Kennett Square; they aro solid specimens of Pennsylvania handicraft, end the interior arrangements, though plain,, are very ()haste and durable. No dash wogs the creek upon a heavy timber bridge of Burr's patent, and come in sight of It again at intervals. The dwellings begin to assume a massive and an ancient guise, as if built in the days of the Revolu tion. Many of them point their one•eyed gable• faces to the road, at.d the blocks of syenite and greonstorto that peep out seem almost perpetual. The biros are frequently built in the same sub stantial manner, and fat kind that are grazing on the slopes lift their hoads lagily to gage at the retreating care. The mist of the morning had not amended from the ground when we entered this beautiful coun try. Shortly after nine o'olook the sun came out from the smoky clouds, and the frost that had co. vered the car windows ran off like drops of deiT. Almost simultaneously, like the going up of a cur tain, the mist arose from the Mils. We caw Chester Creak, a rivulet almost, flashing beside us, and flowing towards the lowlands we bad loft behind• And thus we came to Ivy mills. Here the Messrs. Wilcox have establiehed their renowned manufao- tory of banknote paper. Soma of the machinery used in this mill is said to have been Imported from England by William Penn. Immediately adjoin• tog <be Penn mill Is an old, deoayed structure, plastered white upon the exterior, and rapidly tumbling into ruins. The window-framea and sash of this mill wore also made in England, and the promisee are renowned in the history of the State as furnishing to Benjamin Franklin the paper he first employed. There is seemly a farmer in the county who has not some fragment of the picots, as a relic of its One. At Concord station we see in the distance the ancient meeting house ono of the oldest edifices in the country. A dwelling of faded gentility, with four gables and sundry ecoontrio roofs, was once the residence of a wealthy eolonlal family. The bricks in the building were made in England, shipped to Philadelphia and thence carted to this place. As we leave the sources of Chester creek, and climb by a pleasant grade the bilis that divide it from the Brandywine ' the views enlarge and be. some more beautiful. There are cedars on the bills, and some traces of snow under the fences. The latter are of the sigeag character, usually de nominated " worm," or " snake." All the oaks are leafless ; the woods at the roadside are bare, and the brown leaves are soaking in rain water. We venture Into some deep excavations and flash out again into the sunlight. Seine tiny stream are crossed by ribbed bridges—and the air is cliar and cold. We are at Brandywine Summit, whore the train halts to give us a glimpse of the scenery. Afar off, the curves of the hills cross each other ; we look down to the east and the west upon a hundred farms, and see that the brooks behind go down to the Chester creek, and those before slope off to the Brandywine. On every crest and slope, as if great sentinels, with wondrous eyes, crouch the dwellings of the yeomen. Bettor read men the State does not know. At all the stations there are eager hands stretched out for the morning papers, and it pleases us to see that the favorite sheet everywhere is The Pr's. The intelligence of these Pennsylvania farmers is evident in the ar rangement of their dwellings. Neatness is writ ten on all the houses, and the country bas been so long in cultivation that oven the rooks seemed turned into use. Wo go down gently toward the Brandywine, and the ever-memorable Ford. where the water was red, like blood. The tiny Pecapsip that flows athwart us suggests its Indian reminiscences. This port of Chester county was settled originally by Welsh. They became Friends shortly after their arrival, and Wm. I'onn, on visiting them, found that neither could discourse upon things spiritual, for neither knew the other's tongue. Per haps it was as well. BRANDYWINE DATTLE.GROUND We reach Painter's Crossroads and feel that the battleground of Brandywine is at band. A blend points out to no the headquarters of Lafayette, where he slept on the eve of the struggle. It stands upon a road running parallel with the track a small dwelling of frame, with u blittlitad Welt in front, now owned, IRO believe, by Won Oilpin. The little hamlet of Chadd's Ford stands to the cost of the amok, consisting of a fow anolont houses clustering about a small tavern. Washington's headquarters twos easily recognized, fronting the Toad—a handsome dwelling with three ottipners, a nd a willow tree in the front yard. Behind it, Chadd's old house, sheltered behind a tall poplar, and a few dwellings of more modern construction, tussle up the town. The battleground looked of to the north, a series of steep bills, created with farm houses A road runs parallel with the Bran dywine to West Chester, passing west of the scenes of the battle. We strained our eyes in vain to see Birmingham Meeting Bones, where the wounded soldiers died, and where blood marks aro still writ ten on the floor. Just beside us, where the railroad creases the croak on a bridge of trowels upwards of five hundred feet long, Is chadd'e Ford; a broad, still place in the creek, crossed by a bridge of boards. Just above, where the slope is fringed with grass, not yet withered in the snow, 11.nyphausen and Wayne contended. The wily hessian planted his cannon on those hills to the west, and made a great ado with musketry, while Cornwallis was sneaking through the ravines behind him to cross at the distant Ford and make havoc in the mums peoting rear. Around ns, on every hand, the sod is consecrated. Them Nide, now dripping and half white, worn trampled with thousands of feet, and the sky, so still and olear, rang with the shouts of Oontending armies. The train paused to take in wood. We perched ourselves upon a trunk In the freight oar, end vroadered if all the picture wan not the pencil liege of a dream. Wore these hills, peaoeful and stretching to the copse of the creek, under the Bunbeams, the site of a deadly feud, written in history ? The dream of childhood lay under our lashes, and the buried mon whose deeds made up a nation's history, once sheltered In these cosy homes and walked that narrow roadway with heav ing fears and hopes. Mad Anthony, "his foot upon his native heath," Sullivan and Greene, Stirling and Muhlonberg, Lafayette and Washing ton TO ICENNZTT SQUARE The whistle of the engine was too shrill for a dreaming event, and as wo crossed the tressel-work bridge very Slowly, the scenes of Ohadd's Ford went out of eight. We presume that Mass Mum bridges are intended to subserve only a temporary purpose. They should be removed before many seasons go by. However strong they May be, the feeling of security will be feeble in the mind of the traveller, so long as the immense weight of a loco motive and train quiver in. the air over their tim bers At Chadd'e Ford, it is thought by many, the Brandywine " 'Valley Railroad, ill oross the Balti more Central This road, is to be made from "Wilinington to some , point 'of the Pennsylvania Central road. It is not improbable, hoirever, that it will! take the , line of Red Clay Creek, via Kennett . Scitiare, to Ooat3villo. We understood that the greatest amount of stook could be secured by taking the latter route. W endeavored without guesses to catch glances Of the old Kennett meeting-honse and•Welch's oirnt tavern, both noted in the history of the Re volution. At ten o'clock we reached Kennett Square. This le one of the oldest towns in the State, and," 113'n:they respects, one of the moat interesting. It 'stands upon a gentle hill, a few hundred feet to the right, and presents a handsome spectacle from the railroad In the centre is the town hall, a large brick edifice, of which the *likens are deservedly proud. Adjoining this is the ancient hotel where General Rowe slept on ills eve of tho great battle, •and, d fine old atone dwelling on the main street was the birth•place of Bayard Taylor, the author travoller. Mr. Taylor now has his summer real dente (" Cedar Croft ") about a half-mile from the town. It stands In what was formerly a sort of common, hidden behind a stately woods. The edi fioe Is built of brisk, made upon the promises, and roofed with elate from Peaohbottom, Lancaster county, a short diatanoe from the present terminus of the road. Tho house was designed by Mr. Taylor, we believe. It is of a semi-Gothic style, very large and spacious, with massive oaken floors and stairways, and crowned with a tower. A stone in front bears the name of the owner and that of his lady. The old common, or moor, has been wrought into an exquisite lawn, which the stunted cedars alone adorn. Tho gateway is lammed in with the grove of timber. Mr. Taylor has pre• served hero many memorials of his long tramps. The pikes with which he climbed the Ales aro shown to visitors. He has also the sword of Fried rich Schiller. Across the way live Mr. Taylor's father and brother. Kennett Square is, also the abode of Mr. Cham bers, an inventor of 'some note. A fine ear manu factory, in the town, has been doing an excellent business sines the road was opened. It is now fni filling a contract for upwards of thirty oars, which have been ordered from Wisconsin. Last fall an Abolition Convention was held in Kennett, the pub lished proceedings of which made some sensation, and gave an unworthy notoriety to the town The intelligence of the people on the line of this road has been adverted to. The same is particularly no ticeable at Kennett Equate ; although by no means tho third town in point of population, it is the third post-office town in Chester county. Some fifty copies of The Press go there daily, and the numbeir of Tribunes, megaztnes, oto., is very great. A lecture hold in the town hall referred to last winter, netted the managers $1.60 at the cost of five cants per ticket A fine nursery has been established at this town by a gentleman named Lang, and the fielde be• tweon the railroad and the town have been laid out in building lots. The streets leading to the place axe found inesproseibly muddy; in fast, al• moat impassable. AVONDALE AND ELK Leaving Kennett Square, we entered a beautiful of whin the Indian name was gqp out, antrtheitenlitrailfriaviaetr. command $l5O, andriven 5120 Q, per acre. The track Is laid in the centre of this valley. We pass on the way 'the old Jackson mansion, so sailed after the patriarch of the valley, who took up the last vacant traot of land In tbo township, (London Grove,) as early as 1725. 11e had dreamed in Ireland of a far•off 'valley in the baokwoods, where a stream of spring water rippled down the hills. As it guided by the recollections of his dream, be came to Dough reehnsmon, and saw with attain all that he had imaged in sleep. The spring of which he dream ed rises in the present garden of his descendants. The next station (New Garden) stands adlacent to the " Rammer and Trowel," uyeryy old tavern of the Conestoga time. Sara the road mosses White Clay creels. We reach Avondale at half past 10 o'clook, on the brink of tho famous Elliott estate. This land, a tract of 800 cores, is still undivided among the heirs of its anolont owner. Its value has been fixed at the low figure of $130.000. It is in con templation to divide the estate into building lots, and locate a village upon its site:: Van Amburgh's splendid horses were pasturing bore as we passed. We aro told that more passengers are taken at this Malan than at any two stations on the line of road, excepting Oxford. Within three miles of the sta tion there are not less than fifteen water powers. The extensive lime-kilns of Hughes & Co. here jut out from the hills, and a branch railway leads book to the qnarries and kilns of Baker dt Phillips. This station will doubtless supply lime to the en tire lino of railroad. At Westgrove" station we gee the old Quaker dwelt, built In 1700, and at "Penn" go through a deep out and emerge upon another line of trussels, four feet high and nine hundred feet long. Wo reach Eikview, forty miles from Philadelphia, and four from Oxford, shortly before 11 o'clock, Until the late opening of this road to Oxford, this was the terminus. A dingy frame oar house adjoins the road—now almost de serted. The view down the Elk discloses a vast extent of short timber, or brush, stretching off to ward Maryland, and a brawling stream, perhaps twenty feet wide, flowing through a sort of morass. The bridge here is fifteen hundred feet long and ninety five feet from the atrearp at its highest part. The ascending grotto west of the Elk is at the rate of sixty feet to the mile. We reached Oxford at eleven o'clock, with the appetite of a cormorant. The train bore halted until the middle of the afternoon, and we followed the conductor up an exceedingly muddy street to sort of primitive hotel, around which, upon sundry poles sundry nags were tied. It was the day for election of direotore at the Ootoraro Bank, a brick dwelling across the way. The barroom was orowdid with hungry bipeds, and by a card against the wall we found that two stage lines centred m the town, One of whiob has its termination at Newark, Delaware, via New London; the other at Peach. bottom, in Lancaster "'aunty. Oxford and its vioinity were settled by the Scotch Irish, of the Covenanter faith. The dwell. Inge in the town are all of substantial brick ; the streets are horribly muddy, and the soil of the Outten thereabout is of a very nasty, red clay, that approaches one's ankles, and, in some places, even his knees. Before the Baltimore Central road was opened, the market teams for Philadel phia drove from this place to Parkesburg, fourteen miles, and shipped upon the cars for Philadelphia, about forty miles more. Beyond the town a few miles, the celebrated serpentine raglan is found. This is a part of the soil almost barren . for the pur poses of agriculture, but abounding in rich de posits of chrome. Most of these chrome claims have been bought by Mr. Tyson, of Baltimore, otherwise known as Bing Chrome. Eight miles from Oxford, on the Oetorare, is his shipping place. The point at walla' the Susquehanna is intended to be erased by the Baltimore road, is situated fifteen miles from Oxford, below the mouth of Os. torero creek. The river is here a half mile wide and exceedingly rooky. Two and a half miles be low is Port Deposit, a famous lumber and lime stone port They have already authority to cross ,he river for which purpose $200,Q00 will be re quired. .ight miles of the way beyond Oxford are already graded, and the determination of the company is understood to be to place a line of steamboats upon the Chesapeake Bay, auxiliary to the road, and make the through fare by rail and river $2 to Baltimore. The importance of this de. sign will be estimated when it is remembered that the old Baltimore road expended a half million of dollars to destroy the New Castle and Prenolitown road, which was connected with a similar bay line The new road has been almost in the grasp of its rival several times Last year, we believe, but a few votes Were lacking to lease ' it to the old road. In that event, it is said, a branch road would have been constructed from Avondale to Wilmington, and the rood extending above Avondale no longer employed. Beyond the Susquehanna the Beiti more Central will avoid the yariope inlets of the Chesapeake, now bridged by the Wilmington Iced, and along the entire distance will possess the supe rior foliates el a continuous line above tidewater. It mot he finished, if finished at all, by the people of Maryland. The mon:Manta of Baltimore are new directly interested In its success. The whole line, we believe, is about three miles longer than the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Balti more road. By avoiding the ferry at the Sus quehanna, and the bridges over the Gun powder and Bush rivers, the trip between the two can be made by the Baltimore Central road at least a half hour quicker than by the other line. The vast !amber trade of the Susquehanna will tall directly into its hands; and Ma lime, grain, elate, and produce of the valleys and fertile sec tions which it intersects, will eventually make the Baltimore Central road one of the leadinglines coo votglog at this atty. The fowl Is now Wet 03• °ohm, management. It has a ro;ling, steak of $lO.OOO, suffmient for immediate exigencies.
