Liberation of Cuba?Mating1 Laat night. Some throe or four hundred persons assembled in the neighborhood of the Mississippi Hotel last evening, in the expectation of hearing speeches ou the Cuban subject from somo of our influential citizens, but one only, Judge Meek, addressed the crowd. Ilis oration was of the kind usual on such occasions, and called but little feeling, most of those present seeming to regard the movement as premature and ill-illsltfWMtfl K v taruu /d* tinrr tut un av.

Aladdin's Lamp. At the opening of the Manchester Free Library, speeches were made by Dickens, Thackeray, Bulwer, and others. Among the good things said by Sir Edward, in las chareclemtic figurative way, was the following : "Gentlemen: You will remember that story of Aladdin, which we have read in our childhood?how a poor youth descended into a cavern, and brought back from its recesses an old lamp. Accidentally he discovered that at the mere friction of the lamp a mighty genius appeared at his command. Awed by the terrors of the spirit that he had summoned, he at first only ventured to employ its ]>owers to satisfy his common and his humblest wants?to satify mere hunger and thirst ?but gradually accustomed to the presen tklo i.~ i vv V? IIV uiup?*M l."W 11 to construct palaces, to amass treasures, to baffle armies, and to tru'oph over foes, until, at the e'o?? of 'be story, the owner of the wonderful lamp is the sovereign of a peaceful Mnpire, assured to his remote posterity. Gentlemen, that story u a type of labor at the command of knowledge. When we first find the lamp we are contented to apply its genius solely to our common and physical wants; but as we are accustomed to the presenco of that spirit which we have obtained a secret which places the powers of earth, air, and ocean at our command. That genius, left to itself, would be a terrible and threatning ministrant,became it is only rude physical force; but to him who possesses the lamp, that genius is a docile and benignant ministrant, because mere physical force is the slv, e of intellectual will. Now, gentlemen, in that same physical force, which, in the phrase of the day, is sometimes called the 'power of the masses,' lies a great problem for all thoughtful men to resolve. Knowledge has brought us face to face with it, and knowledge must either instruct that force or it will destroy the invoker. May, then, all those who possess the knowledge, who are gifted with the lamp, use it only for beneficent and useful purposes, so that the genius whose tread could arouse the earthquake, and whose breath could bring down the storm, may only come to enrich me treasury and assure the empire." tar At a public meeting held in Charleston, on the subject of Mr. Webster's death, the Hon R. Barnwell Rhett, made the following remarks; Ma. Mayor: My distinguished friend who offered the resolutions, remarked that but few of those present had had the opportunity of knowing Mr. Webster in society, or hat! heard his great efforts in the Senate. I fear.^that, Sir, that I am am the only person present who has had the opportunity he alludes to, and it may therefore not be improper for m? to address a few words to this meeting, expressive of my esteem of the great dead. One who saw deep into the responsibilites of our being has said?"No manjliveth unto himself, or dieth unto himself." This is true of the humblest as well as the greatest of us. In the usual course of things, every human being, therefore, must exercise some influence, for good or evil, upon the conduct, character, or destiny of others. But this great truth is more especia'ly flagrant in public men. Free government rests upon the virtue and intelligence of the people; and in Republics their public men are their epistles known and read, of all men. Not merely in the splendor of oratory, or the development of mighty thoughts, or the measures of masterly states manship, but in the humbler but not less potent influences of private character and private duties, the public man lives for his country. Mr. Webster was a striking exampliflcation of these truths. T?!. _ M uu innucnco was very great. As a statesman for forty years, he stood the unraveled, intellectual leader of the constitutional policy he advocated, a policy, whether for g<x>d or evil, destined, I believe, to be thj settled policy of the confederacy. As a speaker of English, he surpassed, I think, all his co-temporaries, either in his speech on Foote's resolutions the greatest oratorical effort ever made by ao American statesman. Not only in his speeches, but in alt the effusions of his mind, there is a dignity, purity and moral elevation, which ailing the mind with ar dent admiration, induced the pardonable appellation of being God-like. In hia private character, whatever may have been hia failings, bis death is a veil as it te his atonement. Free of every stain of our frail humanity, he doubtless now enjoys a b Hearts I immortality. The heat end duet of the course is behind him, and he has a on the prise? the only prise worth living or dying for?the glorious prise of acceptance with Mod. Doubtless lie had frailties?but with nil liis frailties, he had but little of that greatest, of all of out infirmities?j?ersonal selfishness. No man ever had a more free and generous nature Ilis heart was open as day to melting charity. His hand was ever extended tc relieve misfortune, or comfort the miser I ble, in calamity. Living as 1 did in tin same community with him for severa years, many instances of his unknown and | unostentatious kindness and charities U the ve ry humble,came to tnv knowledge Of his domestic habitudes 1 know bu: lit tie, but I am sure, from what I know, that ho was of a very sincere, affectionate atu noble temper in all his private relations lie buried his daughter near his home at Marshfiold, as lie said to a friend, "tha j I might every day look upon the place where she lies." Public life?absorbing and exture?had not turned his heart from its only source of happiness?the love we receive or boar to others. But, Mr. Mayor, it is not our purpose nor is it the priviliege of us t< eulogize the great man, whose departun we are Ussembled to commemorate. Tha will be done by others who knew him fa more intimately, and, therefore, can fa better perforin so grateful a task. W co.ne t>? discharge a duty to the illustriou dead. In Republics, public life mus always l>e the most arduous, as it is bu j too often the most thankless, of service? ! Did not Mr. Webster feel this in the si Sen j depths of a slighted and wounded spirit Liberty was never won, and cannot b preserved; without its martyrs. The pros idential laurel has not adorned the brow of Webster, Clay, or Calhoun; but as eael of tliem has dropped from amongst u? thousands have felt as if the fabric ti the Confederacy shook to its foundations Each of tliem stood, in the estimation o millions, a mighty element of power nn< patriotism, which would lift up and assur me neart in all aimcuit emergencies. Thei are gone?each, as he departed, looking with anxious and patriotic solicitude a the black clouds which lower over tin destinies of the Union. We assembli this day to cast upon the grave of the las of these illustrious inen a public testimoni al of our profound sense of his long am laborious public services?his noble genius his greatness and his far-spread renown If the resjKjnse of even a heathen orach is correct, that a man's death ir tin criterion of a happy life, the country alon< his cause to mourn. Mr Webster wa.< happy in life and happy in death. Yel to him to die, was doubtless great gain. Secretary of State. We have the satisfaction to announce that the 1'resident has aimointed the Hon I I Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, Secretary of State, to succeed the lion. Daniel Webster, signified his acceptance of the office. This is in every respect a most creditable appointment, and one which wt doubt not will meet with the approbation of the whole country. Mr. Everett has successively been a Representative in ConSress, Governor of Massachusetts, and [iniatcr to England; in each of which spheres of duty he has discharged his functions with unsurpassed ability, and with a purity and patriotism beyond reproach, He has had the enviable honor of being recommended by Daniel Welmtcr for tin I position next in rank and assimilation ol duty to that which he is now culled to fill and of having been endorsed for that position by Ilenry Clay. His literary and academical career, as linked with the North American Review, and with the Presiden cy of Cambridge University, has also acquired him an extensive ami enduring reputation for scholarship of the first order The country is indeed truly fortunate, ir view of the delicate state of its forcigt relations and the void left in the Depart ment of State by the death of Mr. Web ster, to have obtained a man who has no only an American, but an European rcpu Union as a diplomatist.?

Macon (Qa.) Mettengtr. Death of Dr. Hendenhall. It is with feelings of sincere regret, thai we chronicle, this morning, the death o Dr. M. T. Mendenhall, which melancholy event occurred in this city, on Tuesday evening, occasioned by a severe attack o country fever, contracted at Camden, iti this State, which town he visited a fen days since for the purpose of being present at the ordination of his son as a member of the Baptist persuasion. Dr. Mendenhall was at one time a practicing physician at Newberry, from whenc< he came to this city, and engaged in mer can tile pursuits. Withdrawing, however from the cares of a oommerciaTlife, hewai elected to the highly responsible office oi Ordinary of Charleston District, and ec efficiently did be nerform hie du'ies, and so great was the satisfaction he gave to the members of the bar, and the community generally, that, at the expiration d * 1 X . ,. . bin first term of office, lie whs re-elected and continued to fulfil his functions will honor to himself, and advantage to tin citizens cf the District until the time o his lost illness. Dr. Mendennall wns a Deacon of th< ; Baptist Church, and a prominent lay mem > bcr of this denomination of Christian? . 1 and evinced in the uniformly upright teno I of nis life, his entire appreciation of thosi | divine truths of which lie was so ardenti ' follower. Ever attentive to the duties tha I devolved upon him, either in a public o > private capacity, he was not so engrossc* by the cares of this world ns to forget tin i aten.er obligations of religion, and al though his summons was hut brief?ii ^ , fact so brief that no member of his falni i iy was vvitli him at the time of his death . yet it cannot be otherwise than consolinj ^ to his afiheted widow and ehildrch, and t t those attentive friends who were in ntten I dance on liitn to the last, to know that h ' ' was fully prepared to obey it, and tlm C ; leaving behind him the rosjiect and goo< , ' will of all who had the pleasure of hi , friendship or acquaintance, he has gone t< ! reap his reward in a blissfully immortal . k 3 I S^~ According to a correspondent < 8 j the New York Titnrx Mr. Webster signe t j his will on the Thursday befoi" his deatl r I It was drawn up tinder his direction h ' Geo.

On the morning of the funeral, the fun " eral cortege wili be formed at the Ilor* t Guards, and will proceed by Charing Cross, the Strand, l icet street, and Lud gate hill, to St. Paul's.

Verily our land 44 floweth with milk end honey." ( M And what doea it behoove ua now to do ? heir Ae a grateful people, our firwt duty should aa be to acknowledge God's goodness by tenof dering him our sincere thunks for this rnaui' festation of his love to us, and in tho fulfillL,on ment of this duty, consider at the aarne time our duty to oursekpa, and our duty to our w,l! fellow man. The first law of our nature is 44 Man know thyself" Man Is formed for action, aa well Hie aa for contemplation. 4 For this purpose then tish are interwoven in bin constitution, powers, '}* principles, instincts, feelings and afleetiona, which have a nlfniwioa In l>U ?? at in virtue, and which "xclte him to promote the happinea* of other*." For man to re]_ know himeetf, he moat be arnaible at all tn(] time* of that which he tkould do, and that which he ahonid not do.

It is our dniy then, to be grateful to Rod for his mercies, it is atso our duty to give to our wives and children, those necessaries which during the - dry year," they were deprived of. Do not place the dollars and dimes in your trunk when you return from market and say, M I will lay this up for hard times." No, friend, it Is your duty to yourself, to your wife, and to your children, to make such a judicious c-pendature, that all and each will feel th? influences of a provident year.? Send your children to school, and you . ourself pay for their tuition. No one wishes the free school fund so apportioned that each, District will receive its relative proportion according to taxation and population more than we do, but shame, we say, and say it emphatically, that so much should be said about the fund, and advance it as the cause of our j children growing up in ignorance. There is not a white man in I/incnster j ? District but who can have I is child or chil- ! drcn educated, i;nd pay for the tuition himself, but with shame be it said, tli s In in generally the last thing thought of. I Thin is one of the hints to you fellow citizens, nnd if only from District pride, do think ; of it, if you do not take the interest in this | respect, of your children to heart, do for (jod's sake take the reputation of your Dis- c triet into consideration, and do not let it be " said, or let any one have any c nise to say, J that Iitincastcr District s the most ignorant j t in tho State. Vou owe a duty to your I r neighbor, nnd although we cannot tell . nu q all that this duty enjoins upon you, s'ill, there is one duty resting upon you, which we ] wish you to pay particular attention to, by \ the observance of this obligation, you will I 1 not only be doing a benefit to yourselves, but ^ ' doing an incalculable service to your fellow j man.
