Responded to by Capt. Powell.
The following song composed for the occasion was led by Mr. McConnell:—
“THE HOUSE THAT JEFF. BUILT.”
“Air.—‘Auld Lang Syne.‘
“How oft within these airy halls
The traitor of the day
Has heard ambition’s trumpet-calls,
Or dreamed of war’s array!
Or of an empire dreamed, whose base
Millions of blacks should be!
