It is impossible to appreciate words spoken at such a moment as this; but perhaps it is not invidious to name Mr.MARKHAM as the orator who above all others appealed to those who were privileged to hear him.

It was he, too, who told us explicitly what others had merely mentioned, to the effect that the success of the American efforts was entirely due to Mr.
JULIAN FELSENBURGH.

As yet Mr.FELSENBURGH had not arrived; but in answer to a roar of inquiry, Mr.MARKHAM announced that this gentleman would be amongst them in a few minutes.

He then proceeded to describe to us, so far as was possible in a few sentences, the methods by which Mr.
FELSENBURGH had accomplished what is probably the most astonishing task known to history.

It seems from his words that Mr.FELSENBURGH (whose biography, so far as it is known, we give in another column) is probably the greatest orator that the world has ever known--we use these words deliberately.
