THS JJ tans II PAJ?L TABLENT.-The London correspondent of the Hews writes that Parliament has closed, and unless some great event should hap? pen, it will not meet, again until Feb? ruary. It was In all respects a curi? ous session, lt began last February. It was a new Parliament, led by a new ? ministry, who liad a majority bf 70. At the end of six mouths that minis? try is out of office, and the conser? vatives sit on thc right of the speaker. Noteworthy, too. aro the events of the past six months. The needle gun has upset all Europe und nearly crushed the empire of Austria. Tho British Parliament has had to deal with rebellion in Ireland, with cattle plague, with an unprecedented com? mercial crisis, with pestilence and rioting. Yet we may fairly say that the session, in respect to legislation, hos been wasted. Nothing has been done for Ireland except to deploro Irish grievances. Nothing has been done for the English poor but to cou ! fess how badly they are used. No i thing hos been done to ameliorate I the couditiou of the financial world. Nothing lias been done to settle the class questions, such as church rates and reform. There has been a chango of ministry, and that we must per? force regard as the main work of the session. GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENT. The recent action of Gen. Grant, in placing himself by thc side of the President, has created a sensation in radical circles. They do not well see how they can carry on, successfully, another war without him. Tho St. Louis Democrat lnrving de? nied the report that the sympathies of the General are with the President and his policy, the Memphis Commer? cial, which seldom speaks without authority, sa j's: Now wc assert, upon authority only second to that of General ( iran t's written statement, that he is fully in accord with President Johnson in his policy of restoring the Union, and that ho approves of the proceedings of tho Philadelphia Convention. M. Gillibert, a Frenchman, has in? vented au apparatus to enable a person to enter a buming building without being stifled by the smoke. It is simple, and consists only of a lire-proof air-bag, which is carried on the fireman's back, and from which he breathes by means of a tube pass? ing into the month, tho nose having been previously stopped up. Expe? riments made with this at tho Ports? mouth (Euglaud) dock-yard showed that a man could remain in the smoke for six minutes with ease, even if sulphur was added to the flame. ENGLISH AGAINST AMERICAN CLAIMS. A Washington correspondent of the New York Express, says that Mr. Seward is preparing to make another formal demand upon tho British Go? vernment for restitution for the damage inflicted upon tho property of the American citizens by tho Con? federate privateers'. England has of lato been putting in such enormous claims against tho United States for losses of English subjects in tho South by Federal se?2 tires of pro? perty during tho war that the ac? counts to bo rendered by either Go? vernment will very nearly offset the other's indebtedness. Sharp Yankeo trick. There is a bare-footed Methodist preacher in Titusvillc, Pennsylvania, an eccentric gouius, who declares that ho has fasted forty days and forty nights consecutively, and lesser periods at various times, but that being inspired by a spirit from Heaven, ho never felt any ill effects from this great abstinence. Ho also says he has hod marvelous dreams. He promises to preach regularly in Titusville. ?^?gg?gS???? '?" ? i i . In " 1 i - i i T? I -r j Tia? Presidejit's Speech. ll bas already been announced by telegraph that the popular and en? thusiastic -welcome' to the President, in New York, was rounded off by a grand banquet at Dclmonico's, and we published, on Friday, a tele? graphic abstract of his speech on that occasion. As this is regarded as a very important speech, we subjoin a full report, taken from our Northern exchanges: I know, as you know, that we have just passed through a bloody and perilous contest. We have gentle? men here associated with us on this occasion, who took nn active part in that struggle for tho preservation of our country-the army, on the one hand, (pointing to Gen. Grant,) and tho navy oa the other, (pointing to Farragut.) [Tremendous cheers.] Theso gentlemen have all performed their part in restoting the country to its present condition, and it would be very derelict in me if I should omit to ?ay that the Secretary of State has fully performed his part. [Cheers.} As to what part the hum? ble individual who now addresses you took in that struggle for the sup? pression of the rebellion and the re? storation of tho Government, I will say nothing now; but I will say, in summing up-though I may, perhaps, be included in that summing up-I will say that I feel that the Govern? ment has discharged its duty. But there is something oise to be performed-the work is not yet done. Though we havo passed through fields of blood, and at times almost forced to the conclusion that we would be compelled to see tho Goddess of Liberty go staggering through carnage and blood, and om Government a failure, yet, by the blessings of Providence, matters have been brought to a di li?rent termina tion. So far we have boen saved. But, while the enemy has been pul down in the field, there still remaiiii a greater and more important worl for j ou to do. I must be permittee to say-and I wish not to trespass upon your time-I must be permittee to remark, in this conncctiou, thu the Government undertook the sup pression of this rebellion for the ex press purpose of preserving the unioi of these States. [Great applause.] That was the declaration it made a the beginning, and under that declare tion it went into the war and cou tinued in until tho rebellion was sup pressed. By the suppression of thi rebellion, the Government establisher and announced the great fact, thu theso States have not the power nu the right, either by forcible or peace; ble means, to separate from cac other. [Great cheering. [ That wa determined and settled by the G< vernment of the United States-tli Executive Department of it. Bi there is another department of yoi Government which has declared, b its official action, that, notwithstnm iug the rebellion was suppressed fe the purpose of preserving the unie of the States, and to establish d< finitely the doctrine that no State h: a right to secede-I say there is a di partment of your Government whic luis practically assumed and declare* and, np to the preseut time, earrie ! out, that tho Government was di j solved, and the States were out of tl I Union. [Groans.! We who contended for the opp site doctrine, years ago, contend? that States had not the right, eve peaceably, to secede; and, one meal of peaceable secession was, by a Sta withdrawing its representatives fro the Congress of the United State and that would bo practical dissol tion of tho Union. Wo denied th a State had any such right, and whe subsequently, they attempted to wit draw, wo again asserted that they hi no such right; and now, when t eloctrinohad been forcibly establish' that a State has no right to leave t Union, and when the States arft aga resuming their relations with t? Federal Government, as far as in the lies, we find that, when they seek havo the?r representatives admitt to Congress, there are men in tl body who, in violation of our gre charter of liberty, deny their rig to be represented, and refuse to a<ln their representatives into the CV gress of tho United States. The query then comes up, in ? struggle that is now before us, V we submit-will tho American peoj submit-to this practical dissolutic aud this practical assertion of t doctrine that they have already : pndiated and overthrown? [Cries "No, no."] The issue is before ye Will these States be permitted to ; main as they aro, so far as represen tion is concerneel, in a state of pr? tical secession and disruption? it giving tho lie elirect to every pc tion, it is subverting every positi takon by us since the rebellion co menced. Are wo prepared now, af having passed through our terril war, after the immense amount blood that has been shed, after hi ing accumulated a debt of ova thousand millions of dollars, af tho injury that hos been inflicted tho country, North and South, i we, prepared to permit this disrupi arid disrupting condition of nffain continue? Well, gentlemen, what is said n after the Philadelphia Convent: has met and pronounced on tho e< dition of the country-what is n said? Why, that those men who r in that Convention were iusince that their professions were wo Magul nothing, and were not to bo believed. Gentlemen, what better evidence can you have cf loyalty than those men give? ; Who has fought this rebellion with more consistency and determi? nation'" than I have-who has" sacri? ficed or suffered moro for thc coun? try? But because my sacrifi. s and sufferings have been great, as an in? cident growing out of a great civil war, should I therefore become in? sensible to truth and principle? We are told that those men, notwith? standing their professions of loyalty and devotion to the Union, are not to be believed; but I ask you what bet? ter evidence you can have ot loyalty and devotion than profession and action? Who dares, in. this day of political and religious freedom, to sci up an inquisition and go into the human bosom to search for motives and sentiments? How many men have lived under this Government all along, from its origin up to the pre? sent time, who have loyally obeyed thc laws and payed their taxes, and aided the Government iu every way required of them, yet who, perhaps, would much have preferred to have had it greatly modified in form, or even to hare lived under a monarchy? The best evidence that cnn bo shown of loyalty are loyal professions and loyal actions, and when those gentle? men, met in convention from the North and South, como forward and profess devotion to tho Uuion and Constitution, and when their action? and professious correspond, who shall dare to doubt them? Have we reached that point that all confidence is lost in men? If we have, I tell you that your Government i.s not as strong as a rope of sand. lb has no weigh!.. and will tumble to pieces. ? -* *? X Tho adhesive power of this Go? vernment is in tho confidence which the peo pie put in each other. [Grout cheering. ] Theses men who sat in convention sut iu a city tho profes? sions of whoso people in tkutus gone by were that they wore a pouo?-loving and a war-hating people. These men sat there in convention in the inter? ests of peace, and their professions are doubted. These people say to thom, we won't believe you, and, therefore, this present state of prac? tical dissolution of the Union must continu? to exist. Why, as a South? ern man-though 1 ?lo not speak here to-night as a Southern man, be? cause I first saw the light of Heaven in a Southern State-thunk God, I feel that I entertain opinions and ideas that aro co-extensive with all the States and with the people of them all. While I am a Southern mau, I am a Northern mau also that is to say, I am a citizen of thc J United States, ?md am willing to cou I cede to other citizens what I claim for myself. Hut L was going to call your atten? tion to a point. The Southern States or their leaders proposed separation, j Now, what was tho reason that they did so? The time has come to eon suit our reason, and not mere impulse. What was tue reason, or one of the reasons, that the South gave for de? siring separation? They said they feared that tho Constitution of thc i United States could not be enforced, aud that their rights could not be se? cured in the Union; that was the reason they gave. They said the Constitution cannot be enforced, iu ! the Uuion. and, therefore, we will separate from the Union, and we will form a now Government for our? selves, and will toke tho Constitution ?>f our country and enforce it there. I That was separation; it was against ? the Union, and I was always opposed j to anything that was opposed to the ! Union. 1 took my positiou in the j Senate of tho United States, and as ! sinned then, as I have sine. that '? tins Union was perpetual; ti;..: it was ? a great magie circle that cou! never bo broken. [Applause. | Hut the reason the South gave was, that the Constitution could not be enforced under the then existing ! combination of States, and, therefore, that it. might be enforced, they wanted separation. They attempted to .?.eparate, but they failed. Hut while the question was pending, they established for themselves a form of i Government, and what kind ol' a Go \ vernment was it? What kind of a ! Constitution did they adopt? Was it j not tho same old Constitution, with sume few variations, the Constitution ! of the United State.-? You know I that it was, and that they desired to i live under that Constitution, and en I force its provisions, under a separate k Government of their own. We said, I no! you shall remain with us, and the Constitution shall be preserved and enforced. We fought on until the rebellion was suppressed; and when the armies ol' the rebellion were over? come, they accepted the tenus that j tho Government gave thom. The I Government sa: to them, disband your armies and return to your origi? nal positions in tho Uuion, and we will receive you with open arms. Hut iu tho West they have a way of playing hammer and anvil. While Davis and others of that class were talking ol' separation at thc South, i there was another class at the North, I made up Phillips, Garrison, and such ! men, who-were talking dissolution at I the North. These were the two ex ! triemos-tho one the anvil and the j other the hummer; and when the rebellion broke out, ono end of the line joiued in with those who were trying to suppress it. The rebellion has been suppressed, but wo have not ? yet ceased to play that gamo of ham? mer and anvil I am for tho Union, and I am against all those who are opposed to tho Union. I ?rn for the Uniom the whole Union, and nothing but the Union. [Vociferous ap? plause. J I helped my distinguished friend on my right (General Grant) to fight the rebellion at the South. You all remember hispeculiur-phraae, "That he was going to fight it out on that line. " f Laaghtor. j I was with him, and I did all that I could. " "We whipped them at that end of the line, and x want to say to you hero that I am now fighting at the other ?nd, [laughter and applause,] and if he is : not in tho field noa- in tho military sense, ho is where he does good ser- ; vice. It is a struggle for the Union i in which we are engaged. The Union is essential to us. The North cannot got along without the South, nor the South without the North. But men say, do you want to be governed and controlled by rebels? I answer, no! We want to let loyal men in, and none bnt loyal men; [applause] and I ask here to-night, upon what reasonable ground rests tho fear that men coming into Con? gress from the South would control tho country to its destruction? Take the entire "delegation-58 representa? tives, compared with 2S??-do you fear that 58 men will control all the rest? [Laugh tei*.] Oh, men say, they will repudiate our publie debt. Now, place these 58 men in the most powerful position that you possibly : can, and you have 150 or 180, an* overwhelming majority against them. Surely, enough to keep them from doing serious harm. [Laughter.] Are wo a great people? Are we all cowards? [No.] Lid they control you before the rebellion commenced, and will they have any more power now than they had before? * * * * * There is another thing. You have about -3:1,000,000,000 in bonds. How aro you going to preserve the credit of them? Will yon tell mc how tho security, how the value, how the ulti? mate payment of the interest and principal of those bonds is to be se? cured? Is it by continuing this Go? vernment, disrupted as it is, by crip? pling our energies, and dividing us up into half a dozen petty States? Let me tell yon, and mark what I I tell you, that there is no way by j which those bonds can be ultimately paid, interest and principal, than by | the consolidation of our nationality, j the perpetuity and completeness of the union of the States. [Applause.] Pardon me, when I say I understand i this question; and I tell you that you play a false part now, and play into the hands of your enemies and the enemies of your country when you aid those who would keep the Go vernment disrupted. Let us unile all portions of the country firmly together, and you will j have more capital than you need. I ': am proud to say, on this occasion, not ly way of flatt cry or compliment to tho people of New York-I am proud to say that I lind a liberal, comprehensive, patriotic and ex pansive view of this whole question ; among the people of New York. 11 am proud, also, to lind that you do not feel that your existence depends on aggression aud destruction; that, while you are anxious to live, you are willing to let others live, and do not wish to live by their destruction. New York is a great commercial city. I was asking a man, the other night, what amount of taxes yon collect in the eitv of New York. I was told it was r?10,000,000 or $18,000,000. You remember what your Government started from. You remember that, when George Washington was inau? gurated President, the total cost of the Government was $2,500,000, while here, to-day, my distinguished friend upon my left (Mr. Hoffman) is con? trolling the destinies of a city whose taxes ?..mount to 18,000,000; and your State, with its population of ?,000,000, has a system of govern? ment, general and municipal, more eon- I x and costly than tho whole Federal Government at its origin. ** *? * ? For myself, I am contented to be guided by the example of the Saviour of mankind. If I have pardoned many, it has been because I thought it was for the best interests of the country, having found them repent? ant and anxious to be pardoned. Gen? tlemen, I have talked long enough, it has never been my habit to pr?? paie speeches, but rather to take up u subject, having previously thought upon it, of course, and talk about it. The very idea of making a formal preparation always disqualified mu. Gentlemen, your country is in your bauds. The issue is before you. I stnud here, to-night, not as the Pre? sident of the United States, but rather as a citizen, advocating the re? storation of the Union. Since I heve been the Chief Executive of the na? tion, I have tried to discharge my duties in tho way that I believed would most surely tend to bring back harmony to all sections of tho coun? try. What have 1 to gain by any other course? I have filled every office, under this Government. You may talk about mo as you w?l. Men may traduce and villify me. Menda? cious and unprincipled writers may attack mo as they will, but all of them cannot drive mo from what I feel to bo right. [Great cheering.] What have I to gain? . From the lowest office in your city to the Presi? dency of the United States-I havo filled every office. Who can do more? Ought not any reasonable ambition to bo satisfied with that? I tell you, gentlemen, that the summit of my ambition lias been reached, with the exception of one thing. Will you ig??g???S???????? 1 ' I " '111 tear what that is? It is that, if at this particular crisis of our country'* history," Anding the union of "these Slates imperilled', I can be instru? mental in the hands of the people in restoring the Union and making it complete and perpetual-if I can do that, I viii be willing to exclaim, UH Simeon of old, when bc saw the babe that had been born in the manger. ..Now that I have seen the glory of thy salvation, let thy servant depart in peace." I would rather live in histo? ry, and in the affections of my coun? trymen, as the one who had consum? mated this great result, than be Pre? sident of the United States forty times. Secretary Seward then rose and proposed "three cheers for Andrew Johnson, the restorer of the Union." to which the President responded, and proposed "the union, the perpe? tual " union of the "States." Uoth toasts were responded to with a wjll, whereupon the Mayor offered a toast complimentary to Mr. Seward. A MARRYING MAN.-Bev. Jesse Lamberth, the popular Ordinary of this County, has probably married more couples than any mau-'' of his age in the United States, lt is-now thirty-five years since he commenced performing the ceremony as a justice of the peace, and since then ha* joined in the holy bonds of wedlock 1,626 couples! He has performed the ceremony as justice of the peace, as justice of the inferior court, but mostly as minister of the gospel. In many instances he has married the parents and their children, and in several cases he has married the same individuals twice, their first consort having died; and has married over forty couples in his office room at his dwelling in this city.
