Additional.] short, difficult for human beings to hordes themselves at all points against the impression and the charm of beauty. (Cheers.) Every form of life that can be called in any sews natural will admit them. I know not whether there is soy one among the many species of human aberrstion that residers • man so entirely callous as the lust .1 gain in its extreme degrees. That poem, where it has full dominion, excludes every ether. It shah out even what might be called redeeming infirmities, it blinds men to the sense of beauty as much as to the perception of justice and right. Oases might be named of countries where greedi ness for money holds dominion, and wham un mitigated ugliness is the principal characteristic of industrial products. On the other hand, Ido not believe it extravagant to say, that the pursuit of the element of beauty in the business of production will be found to act with • genial chastening and refine influence on the commercial spirit ; that up to a certain point it is in the nature of • preservative against some o f the moral dangers that beset trade and manufacture and enterprise, and that we are justified in regarding it not merely as an economical benefit —sot merely as contributing to our work an element of value—not merely as supplying a particular faculty of human nature with proper food, but as a liberalising and civilisiog power, ad an instrument in its own sphere of moral and social improvement. Indeed it would be strange if • deliberate departure from what we see to be the law of nature in he outward sphere was the road 1 1 to a close conformity with its innermost or highest laws. In the power of economical production Englund vas at the head of all nations ; and in poetry none but Italy can enter into serious competition with her ; but she has been far lees fortunate in that intermediate region where art is brought tato outset with industry. If she is ever as eminent for teas as for economy of production, the result will be pro bably due to no other single man in so great a degree as to Wedgwood. Kr. Gluteus then soused into s. subtle analysis of the peculiar genius of Wedgwood, glancing at the various excellencies of his various works. He did not in the pursuit of beauty overlook exchangeable value or practical usefulness. The first he could not over look, for he had to live by his works, rod it was from the profit derived from the constant 'ale of his humbler produc tions that he was enabled to bear the risks and Margie of his higher works. Commerce did for him what the Kings of Fiance did for Sines, and the Duke of Cumberland for Cheareavia, provided him with foods. And I would venture to say that the lower works of Wedgwood ars u much dis tinguished by the fineness and accuracy of the adaptation to their uses as his higher ones by the successful exhibition of the finest art. Take, for instance, his common plates of the value of a few pence each. They fit one another closely, as the cards in a pack. At least, I for one have never am any plates that fit like those of Wedgwood, and Lessee one solid mass. This seatraey of form must, I appreheed, th render them much more safe in carriage. (A 1•211 0 .1 Of e excellence of their plates we may take it for that they were largely exported to France, if sot when; that they were then printed or painted with buildina or scams belonging to that country, and thee sent out again as Delius! manufactures. (A laugh.) Again, take such a jug &she would have manufactured for the garret washhand table. I have seen these made apparently of the commonest material used in the trade, but instead of being built up like many more fashionable jags of modern manufacture, in such a manner that • crane could notget his nick to bend into them, and that the water cannot be poured out of them without risk of spraining the wrist, they are constructed in a simple, Capacious form of flowing curves, broad at the top, and so poised that a slight movement of the band discharges the water. A round cheese-holder or dish generally wench in its upper part a fiat space sur rounded by • curved rim; but • cheese-holder of Week. wood's will make itself known by this, that the flat is so dead • fiat, sad its curve so marked and bold a curve, at once furnishing the eye with • line agreeable and well defined, and affording the utmost available space for the cheese. I feel persuaded that a Wiltshire cheese, if it could speak, would declare itself is. finitely more comfortable in • dish of Wedgwood's than in any other dish. (A laugh.) Again there are certain circular la:istends by Wedgwood which are thus described in the 21st section of the catalogue. Great care has been be stowed upon the mechanical arrangement with a view to the preservation of the pen and the economical and cleanly use of the ink. The prom are from sixpeoce to eight shillings, according to sue and finish. I have one of them, not, however, black like those mentioned in the catalogue, but of his creamy white ware. I guess it most have been published at the price of • shilling or less. It carries • slightly raised rectillueer ornameot which agreeably relieves storm otherwise somewhat monotonous. It is so tasteful that it would not disgrace a cabinet, so plain that it would suit a counting-house. It has no pretension. AU Wedgwood's works from the lowest upwards abhor pre. tension. (Cheers.) Wedgwood always seems to have in view • awaked of excellence indefinitely high. He never falls into extravagance or tame Of the par r:nal character of Wedgwood in its inner sense, the world has not yet been informed ; but I can sever presume other wise than well of one who in all those aspects which offer themselves to the view of the world appears to have been admirable. For our present purpose, let us consider him only as • master, which is • matter of more than common interest at a time when so ninny of the must eminent firms in the district have in a manner the most laudable themselves called the attention of public authority to the condition of their youoger labourite with • view of obtaining the friendly aid of legislative inter foresee for their instruction and protection. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, we may say of the all-important question of the people what we said of the condition of the beauty in manufacture. The demand for cheapness presses hard upon it, yet nothing which depresses the moral or physical con. dittos of the people below the standards of sufficiency and of heath can in the end be cheap. (Cheers.) In the year 1769, when Wedgwood was promoting the Grand Trunk Caul, and building hie works, and settling his colony at Etruria, Goldsmith published the beautiful poem of „ The Deserted Village," which he chose with strange caprice to tend ups the idle motion that it was the tendency of trade to depopulate the country. He gays : 11l fares the land. to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay. Nor does be only mean that trades ill regulated may be in jurious to health. After describing rural happiness he begins the lament— But times are altered, trade's unfeeling train Usurp the land and dispossess this swain. What is most of all singular is, that he associates this sub. siltation of towns for villages with decrease in the numbers of the people. (Laughter.) If to the city sped, what wane him there? To see profusion that he must not share To see ten thousand baneful arts condiln'd To pamper 'usury and thin mankind. Now at any rate Wedgwood does not appear to have been one of those "Matelot arts." Listen to the aooount given by Yr. Smiles of the way in which Wedgwood thinned mankind :—" From a half-savage thinly populated district of some 7,000 persons, in 1760, partially employed and ill rw movierated, we find them iio in the course of some twenty.fi ye years to about treble in population, abundantly employed, peospsrous, sod comfortable." (Cheers.) Nor was this multiplication only, without improvement, for he goes on to quote from John Wesley, who had been pelted at Bantam, in 1760, the following remarkable words : • 1 returned to Buralem. How is the whole face of the country changed in about twenty years, slue which ichabitents hare continually flowed in from every side ; hence the wilderness is literally become a fruitful field. Houses, villages, towns, have sprang up, and the country is not Inure improved than the people." (Loud cheers.) It is impossible to conceive • testimony more honourable to Wedgwood. Nor can I better conclude these remarks than by uttering the cordial hope that you, his successors, who have during late years earned so much honour for the taste and industry of the country, may profit more and more effectually by the lessons which your great forerunner has bequeathed you, and may find at least one substantial part of your reward in witneasiog around you • thriving and contented, a healthy and • happy population.

In 179' the famous Staffordshire potter, Josiah Wedgwood, died, and to-day the foundation stone of a worthy monument to his memory hes beau laid here by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Potteries, including Sctke, Hanley, Shelton, Boehm, Etruria, Fenton, Laneßed, and Dolph,. owe their prosperity, and in some instanoss their existence, to the labours, the enterprise, and the res nod taste ei Wedgwood. The &mous "batter pets "of the time of Illiabeth, made of the rodent kiod of ware, and roughly ornamented with pulverised lead ors sprinkled over them, gave place, under his enterprise, to some of the happiest specimens of ceramic ware. Instead of devoting himself to the production of such works as the Royal Oak Dish, then the chef dauvre of Staffordshire, which was ma immense soup plate, with Charles, sceptred and crowned. amongst the branches, his wig floating in vast redundance, and every golden acorn as large as the King's heed, Wedg wood set himself to effect reproductions of the MOM beautiful forms of classic art, and at tke present day the exquisitely.formed and delicate plaques and cameos win from the connoisseur prices equal to their weight is gold, and form the most valuable objects of study for the mast and workman. . . The present scheme of the Wedgwood Institute was mooted so Wag ago as the year 1858, but it had to couteod with unusual difficulties. There can be no question that Bun ion "ALA_ paramount claim to be the site pf nay sr kind. It was the birth-plane of Wedgwood, end,theearliestscene of his triumphs. Inßurs lem be saved money wherewith to found the grad manatee , tory at Knuth', which still continues in the hands of his descendanta, and have still, we believe, a monopoly of his choicest technical secrets. Donlan, though somewhat in ferior in population to Hanley, is more exclusively • pottery town than its rival ; and at all events it may claim to be the cradle of Staffordshire pottery. Neverthelem, its neighbours disputed its right to any exclusive benefit, and they supported a proposal for • public statue. This being a cheaper memorial carried the day, and the statue was designed, executed, and inaugurated at the railway-station of Stoke. Besides this rival scheme, the committee have also had to contend with a considerable fallingeff in the trade of the district in consequence of the American war, for it should be stated that a third of Its wane have hitherto found a market across the Atlantic. Nevertheless the committee did not despair, and at last, thanks to their seal, energy, and perseverance—end especially to the seal, energy, and perseverance of the honorary secretaries, Mr. Woodall and Mr. James Macintyre—the institute has been solemnly founded. A liberal sum has been rub earthed, an appropriate site close to Wedgwood's birth place and his old works has been purchased, the require ante of the government have been complied with, so that a handsome grant may be confidently looked for, and, above all, Mr. Ewart's Public Libraries and Museums Act has been adopted by the rate payers almost without a dissentient voice. This measure will authorise the levying of a peony rate for the support of the institution, end it is estimated that it will yield not less than 2001. a year. One peculiarity in the scheme remains to be noticed. An admirede claims for the building by Mr. G. B. Nicholls has been selected ; but at a conference 'of the subscribers held in February last, Mr. A. J. B. Bamford Hope suggested that premiums should be offered for the adornment of the principal facade in co. ramie work, with mouldings in terracotta, panels of dells robbia, or mosaics in tessera. The adjudimtion upon the competitive designs will not he made till next month ; so that the contract for the structure, the first stone of which was laid yesterday, only relates to the basement ; but it is believed that the whole will be completed in the coarse of • year or so, and if the facade at all answers the expectations that have been teemed of it, there can be no question that the building will be both striking and appro priate. Its internal arrangements seem to be all that can be desired in point of convenience. They will comprise schools of art, both for male and for female students, a fres public library, • library of reference, a museum, and • modelling room. It is needless to say that the ceremony excited the greatest interest in the neighbourhood, sod that the day was kept as a holiday throughout the whole of the dietrict. The printed request of the Chief Bailiff to the inhabitants to close their shops, and exhibit flogs, was very generally obeyed ; but some of these latter manifested more zeal than ap propriateness ; for some bore inscriptions of benediction upon the Prince and Princess of Wales, while others were national colours that had no apparent relation to the trade of Staffordshire. There was a very respectable trium phal arch acmes the main street, and the tent erected over the stone was also decorated with banners, evergreens, and inscriptions, amongst which were the following " Burslern, the birthplace of Josiah Wedgwood, F.R.S. ;" "Burdens, the mother of the Potteries ;" " May honest industry prosper ;" " Prosperity to the Wedgwood Institute "May England with honour be united to all canoes ;" " A Welcome to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., D.C.L.," &c. The 'unusual good fortune of the committee in securing three cabinet ministers, however, imparted to the occasion an importance far trait melding any mere local interest. At one o'clock the Chancellor of the Exchequer entered the nest under which the ceremony was to take place, and he was received with enthusiastic cheering. There were present Earl Granville, the Bishop of Lichfield, Viscount lopstre, Mr. Lowe, M.P., Mr. Adderley, M.P., Sir James Duke, M.P., Mr. Greaten, M.P., Mr. Ewart, M.P., Mrs. sad Ms Medians', ho. The proceedings were commenced by the presentation of as address to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Parts Bonzes, • working man, also presented an address to the right bon. gentleman, remarking that he hoped the right hon. gentleman would be able to attend also at the opening of this the Working Man's College. (Loud cheers.) The &iAxesizoa of the Ercneuccit bristly acknowledged the complimenta paid to him in the two documents. The foundation Moos was thee laid with the usual mob mooiss, prayer having first been offered by the Bishop of Lichfield. Mr. Gummi then read a paper in which he treated the purpose in hand as of national interest. He showed how high an estimate he had formed of Wedgwood, in relation not merely to his particula r business, but to the general laws of industrial pro duction. His peculiar pre-eminence was in the emaciation of beauty with utility. " Beauty," said the right hoo. gentleman, "is not an accident of things. It pertains to their sums, it pervades the wide range of creation (cheers) end wherever it is impaired or banished, we have in this fact the proof of the moral disorder which pervades the world. (Cheers.) Iteject, therefore, th e false philosophy of those who will ask, . • What death matter, provided a thing be metal, whether it be beautiful or not'." and say, in reply, that we will take our lesson from Almighty God, who is Hie works bath shows us, and in His Word also bath told as. that He bath made everything —not one thin or another thing, but everything—" beautiful in his tkno. ^ (Cheer.) I Among all the decrees of creation, there is not one more ; wonderful—whe.ber it be the movement of the heavenly ! Indite, or the succession of the seasons and the years, or the adaptation of the world and its phenomena to the 000ditioos of human life, or the structure of the eye or band, or any other part of the frame, of man—not one of these is more wonderful than the pro fusions with which the mighty Maker has shed over the works of His bands an endless and boundless beauty. (Cheers.) And to this constitution of things outward the constitutional mind of man, deranged although it be, still answers from within. Down to the humidest condition of life, down to the lowest and moat backward grad* of del. Lion, the nature of man crave., and seems as it ware even to cry aloud for something—some gigs or token, at the least, of what is beautiful io some of the muy spheres of mind or soon. (Cheers) It is that which makes the Elpitalfields weaver, amid the murky streets of London, train ossarke and &deans' to sing to him at his wait, that alb with gowerpota the window. of the poor, that Inds the peasant of Pembrokeshire to paint the outside of hie cottage in lively colours, and prompt' in the humbler clams of women a desire for some little personal ornament, artainly sot without its dangers (for whet sort of isdalpec• cam ever be without them(!), yet sometimes, perhaps, too sternly repressed from the high and luxurious places of society. We knee the operation of this priscipte yet more conspicuously in • loftier region ; i n that instinct of rational sod Chriatian piety which taught the early masters of the fine arts to clothe the noblest objects of our faith, end asps the ides of the sacred person of our Laid, in the noblest forms of beauty that their minds could ooeoeive, or their heads could execute. "(Cheers.) It is, la THE BUDGET OF TURKEY. A long balance-sheet of the finances of the Turkish Empire has been published. The sources of revenue are divided into five classes, viz.: 1, direct taxes • 2, indirect taxes ; 3, postal service, crown lands, and the profits of Imperial Printing office ; 4, rent of government farms, salt monopoly, mines, tax on land Sales, forests, &c. • 5, Egyptian, Wallachian, Moldavian, Servtak.:ste., tribute. The expenditure is distributed under the heads of foreign debt, home debt, and cost of administration. The result is as follows : Purses. Piastres. Total receipts 3,010,5.19 51.5 = £13,631,271 Ditto expenditure 2,969,004 492 = 13,493,477 Surplus .... 41,534 343 = £188,794 DRAMA. HAYMARKET. After a enooeseful career as an " entertainer " exteading over several anew; and • abort but triumphant summon in Paris as • vaudeville actor in French, Mr. Charles Mathews returned owe more to the English stage last night at the Haymarket Theatre, and was received with an enthusiastic welcome. As his crop of French hooours have been lately gathered is the character of Un Awhile Tintide, he naturally selected this congenial part for his re-appearance, and never was the rattling faros of Cool as a Cucumber acted with more spirit. Mr. Mathews appears thinner than when he left the stage about two years ago to devote himself to his "entertainment," but, with the ex ception of • little decrease of galvanic restleeenese, he shows few signs of diminished power. He is still as finished, as voluble, as amusing, and as original as ever, and seems to be gifted with the charm of perpetual youth. To further signalise his return to • stage that can so ill spare him, and to afford Mrs. Charles Mathews an oppor tunity of doing something more than look like a pretty doll, Mr. Plaaches old classical exteavagaera, The Golden Fleece, wee reeived.with thislady in the part of Medea. The Golden Fleax—as old playgoers may remember—was originally produced at the Haymarket Theatre about twenty years ago, to eat - vise the form rather than the spirit of the Greek drama. The performance of A atigone at Covent-garden gave ,I en muse for the parody, sad Mr. Flambe was fortunate in I having such exponents as Madame Vestris, Mies P. Horton, and Mr. Charles Mathews. The piece was so snocesful I e that it was afterwards revived at the Lyceum Theatre, and I now it promises to take a third lease of life. The severe form a jof the Greek drama forbid much display in scenery and dream, sad many of the attractions of modern burlesque M aseemarily wanting ; but the witty dialogue and the diver " patter " songs (partly retouched), sung chiefly by Mr. Charles Mathews, in the character of Chorus, save the little drama from the sin of dulness. The story is a distorted version of Medea, with an original first pert, which represents the courtship of Juno sod the heroine. The character of Medea was played by Mrs. Charles Mathews with • determination to make it forcible, and in this she succeeded. Her burlesque ranting was as good as any other burlesque ranting—and her pantomime was ex. . premise. She delivered one of her songs with such &moi -1 fag vigour of voice and action that it was loudly redo 'mended. Miss Louisa Keeley played Jason, and wog • waltz brarura so charmingly that it received the same I honour ; and Mr. Compton, as usual, acted the burlesque King with becomiog resignation. Mr. Charles Mathews, of mune, was pleasant and self-possessed as the Chorus, and when he had little to say he made the moat of his by. play. The house was crowded, and the burlesque, which is abort, seemed to give general satisfaction. OLYMPIC. h.! Ticket of Leave Man reached ita 131st repre sentation last night, with no signs of weakened popularity. Perhaps no piece containing so many varied characters has been so well acted in! all its pelts since the production of Sir E. Bulwer Lytton 's comedy of Mosey. Last night Mira Latimer made her first appearance this season as Emily St. Evremood—replacing Miss Bushes, who is suffer ing from temporary illness. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. CENTRAL RELIEF FUND.

The following letter appears in this morning's Times : "Most people would imagine that a voyage from South ampton to Cowes would be a very quiet and unexciting affair, particularly ce • brilliant autumn day with the sea as smooth as glass. Thanks, however, to the captain of the Lady of the Lake—if they will only patenting that distin guished steamer—they may meet with sights and sounds that will haunt them through many a night to come, and, if they chance to be iovalida, sustain • shock from which they may never recover. I will warrant them sane . arartioaar ha:ideate if they only Lie as I did. As to the boat itself—one of these much advertised pie rester steamers—when I went on board on Saturday It was crammed from stem to stern with sheep, so closely packed that any attempt at forcing • merge through them was hopeless. The stench arising from these panting and frightened animals must have been particularly soothing to the serves of any invalid who might happen to be on board. It was bad enough for a strong man to bear. Anyone who remembers Smithfield at its fullest and dirtiest will have some idea of the state of the deck immediately in front of the chief cabio, across which women and children were com pelled to walk or wade. It most, I should think, be the usual condition of the vessel, for the captain and crew re garded the sufferings of the passengers with such oomph,- covey as only long habit could have inspired. But the sheep were fajoyabie sompared with what was to follow. Half way down Southampton Water we ran into a boat pulled by ens man, who certainly plied his oars with the energy of despair to get out of our way. Nobody thought of getting out of his way. The captain was seated on deck chatting with • friend, and there was no lookout forward, so we ran into the poor fellow and smashed his boat into a hundred pieces. He clutched at a plank scarcely large enough to float a dog, aad bravely did he tight against dea for ten or twelve minutes at leaat. The nom of the crash th ing boat around the captain, and the steamer was Mopped, and this was evidently thought enough, for the lifebuoy was not thrown overboard, nor was the vessel backed or put about. Those of the crew who came aft contented them selves with staring at the man's dying efforts. But when was the best! Why, lying on the poop, in t:umbering the narrow span left us by the sheep, instead of hanging over she side on the davits. The tackle was also obstinate, and when at lest it was lowered, at the instigation of some of the pamengers, it wan found that there were no thole-pins, and only one oar and a boathook. So little did the crew appear to realise the situation that one ruffian oc cupied himself with abasing the passengers who were en cooragiog them to their duty. The lowering of the boat• consumed full ten minutes, and by the time it reached the water the poor fellow was gone. Nothing could excised the indignation and horror of the passengers, who declared that he had been murdered, and many of them left their names in the hope that the captain might be brought to justice. That human life should be sacrificed thus wantoely ou highway like Southampton Water is an outrage on society. If a passenger should ever fall overboard from one of these steamers he knows what his fate must be. Therefore, let him provide himself with a awuniniug-belt, or stop on dry land till such fellows as the captain of the Lady of the Lake have been taught bow to respect human Ile. Of the shock sustained by the passengers in witnessing the dying struggles of the poor fallow and hearing his cries I need not speak. They have seen that which they will not easily forget. But there is me thing, sir, which I hope to see, through the , intervention of your powerful journal, and that is soma decent provision made for the lives of passeuger. and others in the cam of accidents. They may as well bang fish-basketa over the sides of a vessel as the boat which I saw lowered from the Lady of the Lake.—Your obedient servant, "Ventuor, isle of Wight." REGINALD N. Suorrs. • Another psuenger writes :—"Thia morning, in bright sun. light, a man was run down, while fishing iu Bouthampum Water, by the steamer, lady of the Lake, going to Cowes. Lookout there was noise, for when the crash was heard no one was aware what had happened till, on looking esteem, a man was seen floating among the fragments of his shattered host. As he made successful efforts to keep himself afloat I thought him in very slight danger. To stop and reverse a small steamer, to lower a boat, and throw out a lifebuoy, seemed the work of a few minutes. Alas! the criminal neglect of running him down was a fitting prelude to the shameful scene which tollowed. Will it Le credited, sir, that though on each side of the steersman there were two lifebuuys, none was thrown out ; that the steamer was stopped and reversed, but by some mishap did not bring up near him ; and lastly, that, when goaded by the indignant remoustmoces of the passengers, the boat was clumsily lowered and the doomed males strewth was fast failing him, I saw, with horror, only one oar was available to scull with. Before this reached him be gave one despairing cry, and then sank to rise no more. A widow sad ten children (I am told) are the victims of this immures' treasactiou, which of course cannot rest here. The peamagers by the company's boats will judge what security they poseses in the commanders and equip ments of their leek each of which carries, ostentatiously framed and gland, the certi fi cate of the Board of Trade that they are well friend in all needful respects."
