JONES, Secretary- now (at least I have found it so) without a depth f sp irit o store. so 180 , and a warmth of affection which the union of singular quells ...umber ties alike command. (Cheers.) I have made it my business to read what those of my predecessors bad said ; but this, while it ministered most highly to my excitement, has cer tainly in no way diminished my embarrassment,for I feel that it would indeed be an offence irksome to you and hopeless to myself toendeavour to recall, in fainter expression and with feebler colouring, what was portrayed by them with such richness and exuberance. I feel that at this time of day, and especially in this place, it would be at best an imperti nence to inculcate, that knowledge in any community will be a dangerous thing, that commerce, which originally formed, and which still ennobles such a community as this, is the national any of literature and art, and that the pur suits which may be here cultivated, and the happiness which may be here fostered, if rightly directed and R roj t erly guarded, are such u to give a grace and a_glory to toe and character of men. (Loud chcen.) I do indeed feel with the meet ardent and gifted of those who have preceded me, of those who now surround me, that the impulses and associations which are impressed upon our own times, are to be hailed with gratitude and fostered with anxious attention, to rivet and transmit them. I do, indeed, rejoice that English commerce seems in these our days, to be rising to the real height of its position, and to feel the true dignity of its calling. (Cheers.) But this the Tuscan, the Genoese, the Venetian may have done ; the worthies of our English commerce are content to be merchants, without being princes. If we have our princes, they are not intent upon seeking alliances with the thrones of Europe. But they feel that it ought now to be their true aim, to raise to the same level of knowledge, of happiness, of virtue, with themselves, the whole body of the people. (Cheers.) I rejoice that in Manchester, beyond all dispute the first city in the ancient or the modern world for manufacturing enter prise and mechanical skill, you have not been content with that display of wealth which may jostle in the street, or may be piled in your warehouses. You have not thought it suffi cient to raise factories tier upon tier, or magazines that will ac commodate the traffic of the world, but you have thought it your business, too, to build and set apart a home and a haunt fur innocent enjoyment, for useful instruction, for graceful ac complishments, for lofty thought, a strain and phalanx of feeling in a Christian land. Long may it be the resort with this and neighbouring institutions, which it does not seek to eclipse, but rather to encourage and excite—long with them it be the resort where all that are engaged and in the business or labour of this unparalleled live of industry may find repose for their flagging spirits, anenentral ground for their manifold differences, invigorat ing 'food for their reason, and an impulse onwards and up wards to all the best and highest tendencies of our nature. (Cheers) lam glad to perceive that while the benefits of your institution are not confined to any condition, to any class, to auy denomination, so also they are not exclusively ap propriated even to one sex. Women have always played an important part—perhaps I may dare to say not uniformly a beneficial part—in this world's history ; but, ea civilization advances, I have all confidence that they will take both a more recognised and • more elevated part than they ever yet have done. (Cheers.) Awl among the many currents which the restless activity of our time is ever eddying along, I trust that a prominent one will be devoted to make the education of woman sound, substantial, enlightened—all it ought to be,—to train those who, in any case, must be the real trainers, and may be the hest trainers, of all our itisints and all our workmen. (Applause.) From all I sea gather, the wholesome effects of your Institution have not been confined to its own walls and its own operations. IlVhlle it has walked its own ground, it has also been sag- Festive of many kindred processes, or. if I may borrow an illustration from one of the disputed problems of the upper sky, in its career of light and progress it has thrown off from itself separate bodies, which harden into distinct masses, and glow with independent lustre—(cheers)—for I may ask you whether it is not very muck owing to the impulse of the ideas thrown out and caught up here, at your lecture rooms, in your social gatherings, or in the more earnest friction of your discussions,—whether it is not very much owing to the agency of your members, your officers, your founders, that, to select instances, the public parks, which add so much both to the material and to the moral beauty of this great city—the public baths and wash houses, which are calculated to have deeper effects than on the mere skin and linen—(cheers)--and all the attention which has been be stowed on sanitary regulations do not, in a great degree, owe their rise. Can you look to other sources for the foundation of your industrial schools: for the weekly half-holiday in your warehouses (cheers)—or the early closing of your shops. (Cheers.) With respect to this last topic, one not remotely connected with the best interests and widest exten sion of this institution, my attention has been specially called to a meeting which I believe is proposed to be held on this same classic ground, by the members of the Manchester and Salford Early Closing Association. My duties would pre vent me from accepting the invitation with which I have been honoured to attend that meeting, and indeed I doubt whether it is precisely the matter in which a stranger ought to interfere ; but I can only say, that if any general arrange ment can be arrived at between the employer and the em ployed, which shall secure to the rising manhood and woman hood of Manchester a greater amount of leisure for blameless recreation—for mental culttne—no one will rejoice more cordially than myself. You will perceive that I have adverted to some of the more obvious topics in connection with this in stitution, which, indeed, my duty of opening the pro ceedings of the evening—in some sort necessarily imposed upon me. Let me for • little while now turn fro th Institution to yourselves —to you who are its member, and who constitute it, and who are its life and essence. perceive that one of the orators, by whose eloquence hereto fore you have been delighted, when addressing the youth of Manchester arrayed before him, told them, with emphasis, to aspire. Far be it from me to tell them otherwise. All who feel within themselves the sacred dame—who are strung to the high endeavour—who are girded for the immortal race—l would address in the same terms as those used by a great moralist poet, Dr. Johnson : Are these thy views pursued, illustrious youth I May virtue guard thee to the throne of truth! Let all your soul indulge the generous beat, Till captive science yield her last retreat; Till reason guided with her purest ray, And pours her mysteries out—resistless day!. --SYOND EDITION.

In consequence of the accident to the Ripon steamer, put into Torbay, the despatch of the Overland ria Marseilles, is postponed to Themlay. We are in hourly expectation of news from America, by the Great Western steamer, which was due yester day at Liverpool. No account of the India mail, which is probably owing to the state of the roads in France. The bridge of the Vierzon Railroad over the Loire, at Orleans, was carried away by the floods on Tuesday evening. M. Martinez de la Rosa, the Spanish Minister in France, left Paris on Wednesday for Bayonne, to re ceive the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier, who were expected there on the 25th. The amnesty bad not appeared at Madrid on the 16th. The English squadron passed Cadiz on the 12th, steering to the west. The following articles, agreed to by Roses and Oribe, form the basis of the arrangement by which Mr. Hood has proposed to compromise all differences between Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. Should either party refuse compliance, France and England will then withdraw their intervention, and leave the rival states to settle their own disputes. a 1. The governments of France and England, in conjunc tion with Governor Roses, shall procure a suspension of hostilities between the Oriental forces within the city of Monte Video and those in the country. "2. The armistice being obtained, the Ministers Plenipo tentiary of France and England shall require of the govern ment the disarming of all foreigners at present undet arms, whether in Monte Video or in any other part of the ter ritory. 3. Simultaneously with the disarming of the foreigners, Rosas shall withdraw the Argentine forces from every point of the territory. " 4. Immediately on the preceding stipulations being ex ecuted—that is to say, the foreigners disarmed, and the country evacuated by the Buenos Ayreans—the blockade of , the Argentine ports shall be raised, the Island of Martin ' Garcia restored to the government of Buenos Ayres, the vessels-of-war which were seized, returned, in as nearly as 'visible the same condition as when taken, and under a salute of 21 guns to the Argentine flag, and all merchant vessels captured on either side shall be restored to their re spective owners. " 5. The navigation of the River Parana shall continue to be considered as internal navigation, subject to the laws and regulations of the Argentine Republic alone, so long as that Republic occupies both banks of the river. " 6. It is recognised and declared that the Argentine Re public possesses the full and free exorcise of all the rights of peace and war which belongs to any other state ; and it is admitted, that the principles upon which the intermediating Powers have proceeded, in their temporarily interrupting the belligerent rights of that Republic, would have been equally as applicable, under similar circumstances, to Eng land or France. 7. An election of a President of the Republic shall be held in the Oriental state, strictly according to the constitu tional laws of the country, General Oribe previously binding himself to abide by, and conform with, the result of that election. "8. A general amnesty, reciprocal and complete, for per sons and properties ; an acknowledgment of the rights of all foreigners, and justice administered to their claims, if well founded. " Without prejudice to this amnesty, should Rosas find just reason to complain of those emigrants resident in the Onen tal Republic, through whose proceedings the friendly relations of the two countries may stand in danger of being compromised, such individuals can be removed to a distance from the coasts, under a guard, or sent to a foreign port by them named. 9. These bases, admitted by Rosas and by Oribe, if the government of the Republic should reject them, the Mi nisters Plenipotentiary shall declare that they withdraw the intervention of their governments, and shall withdraw it effectually, if their persuasions are ineffectual." It is with these views by patient inquiry, by diligent study, by humble-minded searching after truth, that all real know- ledge is to be wooed and won, equally apart from that shal low presumption which sets up its own speculations and f sophistries in the place of a conscientious reason and a disci- I planed faith, and from that blind bigotry which bows down , fair argument, and decides against proof, and condemns I without a hearing. (Cheers.) I have said that I did not 1 wish—that I:could not wish—te damp or discountenance the i purpose of any of the rising youth around me to aspire. I I well know that genius is the property of no condition, the 1 appanage of no class ; it will be often seen to rise, like the fabled goddess of old, out of the ocean billow, from those surfaces of society where you would ]cast expect to find it, breaking through the surrounding uniformity, and shed a sudden radiance round the new horizon. (Cheers.) But while I am ready to track its shining course, and to bask in its genial warmth, I would also beg to remind you that there is something more admirable than genius, and that is virtue ; there is something more valuable than success, and 1 that is duty. (Cheers.) The hope to succeed in the world 1 and to play a shining part in the society around us, may 1 often act powerfully as an incentive, but it is to be feared that such a hope has too much engrossed both the efforts and the admiration of mankind. I remember being beau tifully struck once with an expression which was used by a friend of mine, though you will perceive at once that it is not to be understood in its literal acceptation ; but the ex pression was, " That heaven was made for those who had failed in the world." Now, there are all sorts of unbecoming and unamiable feelings which often may accompany and em bitter failure, as on the other side every bright and blessed quality of the heart and the mind may enhance and adorn success ; but to aim at success, to meet with failure and not to grudge it, to be outstripped by a rival and yet to hear a rival's praises with an unwounded ear,—these are efforts and triumphs, beside which the ordinary success of the world are light and trivial. (Cheers.) Success, after all in almost every walk of life, from the aspiring statesman down to the ambitious parish beadle, will very often be found to consist of very coarse, obtrusive, and vulgar ingredient, certainly of no heavenly temperament; while there is no grace of character, no spring of self-reliance, no element of progress with which failure, when not earned by our own fault, and when sustained with an even and brave spirit, may not allay it. Depend upon it the world, in more instances than we can think of, has never discovered or crowned its best ; there are diamonds in Golconda more precious than any that ever blazoned in the diadem of royalty—there are pearls in uno pened shells more lustrous than any that ever yet shone on the neck of beauty. The ages as they pass by have known their Homer, their Raphael, their Newton, and their Shak speare; but I doubt not that there are in the human crea tion, as in all besides, prodigalities which have never yet been fathomed. (Cheers.) But I believe it to be no less true, that nothing that was ever given to as has—except it be our own fault—been lost or thrown away. What, after all, is the material point ? Is it to be Homer—to be Raphael—to be Shakspeare—or to be merely thought a transcendent poet, or an unparalleled painter ? Is it to conceive in the inmost soul the lineaments of the Holy Mother and the Divine Babe— or the idea of Lear upon the heath, or Macbeth at the banquet ? Or is it merely that would-be critics should commend the victor, or that admiring audiences should shout " bravo " in the pit ? Carry away with you this great truth —carry it to your daily task, or to your evening leisure—to the quiet of your homes, or to the social meetings—that it matters comparatively little what you may seem to be—it matters even proportionately little what you may actually do—but it matters everything what you are. (Loud cheers.) What you may seem is subject to a thousand accidents and misapprehensions ; what you may do is even under other control than your own ; what you are is under your own control, and you may be all you should be. Depend upon it, however humble may be any of your positions in life ; however obscure the labour which engrosses the precious hours as they pass: however insignificant your whole life's drudgery in this mean and unenvied position, in this drudgery you may hold for yourself the qualities, you may build up for yourselves the character which princes, if they knew them would trust, which multitudes if they could discern them, would adore. (Loud cheers.) I feel that in touching on such high topics of morality and conduct, with scarcely authorised lips, I may subject myself to imper fect explanation and much misconstruction. I know that it is often thought that addresses delivered upon such occasions are too apt to minister to the pride of man, and to the undue adulation of the intellect. I disclaim all such tendencies when I tell you you may be all you should be; I do not ex clude from the method of being so thoughts and ideas which are too high for me to here to dwell upon I am as confident as any one that reason, as well as Christianity., makes humility almost its most prominent grace. (Cheers.) Who would not be humble who felt, as he ought, the loveliness of virtue and the magnificence of knowledge ? I should like to ask one of those fortunate men who have lately added a new planet to our system, or who, as was beautifully said on an earlier occasion, that lent the lyre of heaven The following is an extract of a letter from a pas senger on board the steam-ship Ripon, dated Torbay Harbour, October 21, 9 P.M.: "On the evening of the 20th, a few hours after we left Southampton, a gale sprung up, and soon atter the engines were found not to work properly ; we passed the night and the morning very uncomfortably, the water coming into many passenger' cabins. This morning the gale increased, and the rudder, as well as the engines, were found deficient. After some consultation, and at the desire of the superin tendent of the Post-office, we about-ship, and determined to run for the nearest harbour. Soon after the rudder broke, and w e were left at the mercy of the waves, the sea making a complete breach over her, and the water pouring in at every direction, nearly every cabin being saturated. Provi dentially we managed to run in here with the loss of rudder, one boat, paddle-box, and sundry other damages. It has bees a most providential escape. MANCHESTER ATHENIEUM SOIREE. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING. The grand annual soiree given by the members of the Manchester Atheneum took place last evening. The Free Trade Hall and Theatre Royal had been thrown together for the purpose of giving more accommodation for the ball, but for the principal feature of these entertainments —the re-union with which the proceedings open, the former building only could, of course, be available. However, the space in the hall was economised as far as possible by ex. eluding the refreshment tables, which have heretofore occupied the sides, and by this means the directors were able to issue 5,000 tickets, every one of which, we believe, had its representative in the meeting. It was certainly a large and brilliant gathering. The Right Hon. Lord % iscount Moe peth, M.P., presided ; and among the guests immediately surrounding his lordship we noticed his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Ebrington, the Right Hon. T. M. Gibson, M.P., W. Brown, Esq., J. Brotherton, Esq., M.P., E. Chadwick, Esq.,W.Chambers, Esq., C. Mackay, Esq., C. Swain, J. Heywood, Esq., and W. Ainsworth, Esq. The proceedings opened at 20 minutes past 7 o'clock, when Lord Mogeszx came forward, and was received with loud applause. lie said : Ladies and Gentlemen,—l trust that I shall be believed when I say that I appreciate my situation. Whatever incidents of distinction or responsibility I may happen to be invested with elsewhere, honoured as I am by the choice of no mean constituency on the other side of the hills which bound your prospects—permitted as I am to take a part in the highest councils of the state, yet I can with truth assure you that I found something very new, fresh, and Large in the honour of being called upon to preside at the jubilee of the Manchester Atheneum. And this sense of honour—and I may say, wish as much truth, of difficulty also—is certainly not lessened, when I call to mind those who have preceded me in the same post upon these brilliant occasions. The last echoes of this place, which I feel it a hardihood in myself to rouse again, answer to the accents, deep, gentle, and earnest as his own spirit, of Mr. Serjeant Talfourd. (Cheers.) Why, gentle. men, the name of the Atheneum itself suggests that it is a henefitting theatre for all the utterances of the Bard of lon and the Athenian Captive. Next before him I know your spirits must have thrilled under the spell of so potent a magi cian as Mr. Disraeli. (Cheers.) In the very hottest conflicts of political party, from which we are happily here sheltered, I think it would have been impossible even for his most ex- Poled victim to have been blind to the point, genius and bril liancy which played even around the wounds they made; but here, on this gorgeous stage, amid this congenial audi tory, on the topics so familiar to him of literature, and art, and of imagination, —I who could only read in cold print what he said, apart from all the kindling accessories of time and place, can easily believe how the admiration which is not withheld from him even on thetarren ground of political con troversy must have here swelled into enchantment. (Cheers.) On the first of these annual occasions, the first at least that was held upon this scale of size and splendour, this chair we' filled (and it never was and never can be be filled more worthily) by Charles Dickens. (Cheers.) That bright and INDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCT. 23, 1846. another string—l should like to ask uses whether their spirit hsa not rather recoiled in modest awe, than swelled in self-sufficient presumption, before the secrects of that space into which they have been enable.' to dart a more far-seeing gaze than any of their fellows. (Cheers.) And so it will be when the time is come which shall, in our large and irdperfect vision, unfold the whole bright mechanism of stars, signs, and sysit'as, The laws which will then serve to explain to us why their stations are fixed, or that their masses are guided, will only supply us with fresh reasons for being more reverent, more efficient, and more lowly. ' But I feel that I ought to come down from the clouds, and indeed from everything else ; and I certainly could hardly have alighted on a more radiant spot on earth than this pmeat assembly. (Cheers.) I have now to hope that all who shall have partaken in its excitements will bear away with them not only the transitory emotions which the scene might so easily excite, but a settled determination, followed up by a corresponding practice, to give fair play and full scope to all the highest purposes of which this insti tution is, and may be yet more, capable of. This must be done by associated effort, but you will hardly have failed to ob serve, at least such is the case with most institutiocs of • similar character, how very much of the work is done by a few out of the whole number. Now I want to inculcati on of you with the same active and enlightened spirit. I wait to call upon you, each man and woman among you, to make the work your own, to put more individual energy into the collective body, so that no member of the Manchester Athenaeum shall think that he has done his duty, unless he has done something according to his individual opportunities and abilities to give encouragement, efficiency, and credit to the institution of which you have such reason to be proud. As to myself, I have only further to say, that when the gay glitter of this scene has passed away, when the strains of music are hushed, and silence has fallen on the voice of the speaker; if, in the stillness of your quiet homes, or amid the clang of your daily labour, you shall have derived a single encouragement to ennobling reflection and to worthy pursuits ; or if, still more, any one of you—for such times will come on all us—when he smarts udder the sting of disappointment, or under the sense of the world's coldness and aleniation,shall be reminded how little this really signifies, and that, as I have ventured to say, failure is one of the appointed means of access to heaven ; and if any word of mine shall have contributed to this encouragement, or to this alienation, I shall then feel that I have not come to Manchester quite in vain. (The noble lord sat down amid loud and repeated cheers.) The Archbishop of DOBLIN, at the call of the noble chairman, then came forward amidst loud applause and. said—When he was invited in the first intence to attend the meeting, he was requested to make some obsei cation upon whatever might occur to him with respect to the subject of it It would be quite superfluous in him to detain them with any observations on the beneficial tendency of such an insti tution ; for he thought that the very circumstance of his haying left very important parish business in Ireland, and coming over to Manchester, showed how ho valued an insti tution of this sort, and how much sympathy he felt with its supporters and members. (Applause.) lie would, however, take that opportunity of sayin g , now that he had come and had visited and had ins aired into it, what he thought of it. He thought it quite sufficient for him to say that he was not disappointed. (Applause.) He felt that it would be a re proach to so active and so commercial a city, to have paid attention to every subject connected with gain, and to have neglected an important institution for the purpose of inx. proving and enliehtening their fellow-citizens; and he hoped that they would not think it an insufficient phrase if he said that they had done their duty. He had been greatly inte rested in hearing of such an institution so important a por tion of the United Empire—in a city which he thought might be regarded in some respects as a kind of representa tive of the empire—and without any flattery he would state that he never felt himself more completely in England than when he came to Manchester. He understood that the fruits of the institution had been seen in the rising character of the rising generation. He had much less knowledge than they had, not only of this particular institution, but of the means of the institution. Although he had been engaged for many years in the diffusion of knowledge, yet he had never been specifically connected with any institution of this precise nature. It was with the higher and lower institutions with which be had been officially connected. He had been connected with the education in one of their Uni versities, which were the seminaries for the highest class of the nobility and gentry and the learned classes. He had also been connected with charity schools, but with that which tended to improve the classes between thel lowest class and the learned professions, he had not been so closely connected; but still he had been connected with education in some shape or other, either by actually engaging in it himself, or by publishing works relating to it, or by super intending instructions for its propagation in some shape or other. Altogether lie had been connected with it 38 years, and he presumed that those who had done him the honour of calling upon him to address the meeting, had done so under the supposition that he would be able to communicate to them some of its results, and also that he would be able to make some observations emanating from his own experience. He would do so; and, in the fleet place, he would ask them to bear in mind, that when he men tioned 38 years, he did not mean that ho had been making speeches, but he had been in prcctical work. Having made some observations in reply to the so-called arguments of the opponents of the diffusion of knowledge, he (the Archbishop) said that he admitted that there were some dangers to be guarded against, and he did not differ upon that subject from the noble lord who had preceded him, but the dangers of knowledge were not at all to be put into comparison with the dangers of ignorance. It was impos sible by keeping men in darkness to keep them from temptation. It would not be possible to do that if they were to shut them up in the cell of a hermit, for they were certain to be tempted in some way. The advantages of the diffusion of kbowledge were not so generally ad mitted as might be supposed. There were some persons who advocated the doctrine, but took care to withhold knowledge till they found that they must give it or sink or swim in the siream when they cannot any longer oppose it. A:knowleelga of letters could not make a man unfit for his lot of a labouring man, and perhaps a little more knowledge would mate the man fit for something else. If a mau ofcultivated intellect was a bad i man, he was of course more dangerous than he wcs before his ntellect was culti vated—a man who had the use of his limbs would be more dangerous than a cripple, and a men who had eyes would be mere dadgcrous than one who was blind, or than a deaf mute. If there was a disposition to evil by rebelling against God's providence, it was no ground to refuse education on the ground that it might be abused. Ile conceived that the best way of guarding against the danger that might arise from bad men, was to advance as far as possible that power which knowledge conferred; but he was convinced that it was the tendency of knowledge, not necessarily to secure a good moral character and conduct, but to fnrther and promote it. lie wished to be diistiuenished from those persons who thought that the mere infusion of knowledge constituted the whole of education. He did say that it was a good thine, but he did not say that it was the whole of education. lie wished no man to go away with the idea that a man was any the better for all he knew and might obtain, unless there was a well-regulated and judi cious balance of moral principle. He warned them ageinst the dangers of ill-balanced knowledge; for person who had devoted himself to the cultivation of his intellect and had neglected his morals—that might be diffusion of knowledge, but it was an injudicious and hurtful education. It was not the knowledge of some things that d:d the harm; but the ignorance of others. He had had difficulties to encounter during the fourteen years that he had been engaged in the work of education. They would understand that he alluded to the introduc tion of national education in Ireland, and sympathizing as warmly as he did in the proceeding+ of the directors of the Athenaum, he had no doubt but that - the meeting would feel some sympathy with what was going on in the sister country, and with the difficulties of those who had been labouring to enlighten and improve the people of that country. (Applause) He could not suppose that they looked upon the Irish as aliens, and as being unworthy of their regard, and he could not suppose that they would grudge the Irish that knowledge which they were so eager to diffuse amongst themselves. He did not suppose that they considered the people of Ireland to be a parcel of irreclaimable barbarians. He had made great struggles on the other side of the water, and he was happy to say that in spite of all the storms that had arisen they were advanteing towards the right path ; and he believed that under the blessing of Divine Providence the national :system of education in Ire land. when it should have had time to be felt throughout the country, and when a new generation should have felt its beneficial tendency, would prove one of the greatest blessings to the empire and to every part of her Majesty's dominions. Influenced by these feel lugs, he should be wanting both to himself and the govern ment who were supporting that institution—he felt that he shonld be wanting in his duty to the cause of education, and he thought he should be wantin: in respect to the anima of the poor Irish, if he did not give a flat contradiction to some of those calumnies with which the Irish national system had been assailed. (Loud cheers.) He (the Archbishop of Dub lin) would not have the Manchester institution assailed with any calumny that it was in his power to repel, and he be lieved that none of them would willingly listen to any ca lumny that tended to disparage the merits or defeat the objects of such an institution as the Irish National Board.— Hs lordship then defended the Irish national system of edu cation faom the calumnies which had been heaped upon it, and concluded amidst loud applause. G. DAWSON, Esq., was next called upon, and briefly addressed the meeting. The Right lion. Lord EBRINOTON was then introduced to the meeting, and received with great cheering. He said, though he thought he had some right to complain of his right hon. friend in the chair, for having given him no longer warning than a minute and a half that he was expected to addressed the magnificent assemblage before him, he never theless,—having come, thanks to the wonderful invention of our age, from the downy wilds of Wiltshire that very morn ing, and find himself here, in a very different county, and in the thron ged centre of the thronged district of Lancashire, teeming wit h industry and full of machinery,—and teeming, moreover, with intelligence and activity of mind, to which we must look as likely to led to greater things than the mere ma chinery which was jurring and clanging around us,—he said it was impossible, finding himself here, not to irespass upon their attention, though unprepared, with a few words, under the impnlse o! feelings more easily conceived than ex pressed. They bad been told already, and by none more eloquently than the Last speaker, of the advantages which such an institution as th„ , Athenaeum afforded—of the con veniences, comforts, intel:ectual resources, and innoocnt re creation such a home furnis2 4 ed those who might be at traded from afar to seek their fo.tunes ;.1 this seat of com. merce and of wealth. Bat he (Lord Ebrington) would venture to remark that there was one source of advantage connected with an institution like this, which he had not pointed out. He had not shown them that it was better to wear out than to rust out—and how many there were who for want of making any provision for themselves of enjoyment ur occupation beyond that in which they were ordinarily engaged, had no resources left in their hours of leisure or retirement. (Hear, hear.) How often had they read, in their biographies, of persons eminent in their profes sions, who, when worn out with toil or wishing to retire from business, had been withhe:d by not knowing to what enjoyment they could seek a relaxation. Now to those who had made use of the advantages which an institution like the Athenmum afforded, heart-weariness and bore would be words not known. (Applause.) They would find an inexhaustible and unwearied source of pleasure in communing through their library with the spirits of old, they would find in it net the magician's spell which should make them alone forget the weariness of penury, but which should relieve them from that weariness of spsrit, the result of an unoccupied mind, which he believed was more irksome than eves tthe misfor tune of penury and want. Nothing, he believed, had tended to promote and perpetuate that most foul and mischievous feudal prejudice of the degrading influences of the pursuit. of industry and its incompatibility with refinement of the mind, and with the elegant accomplishments, so much as the conduct of persons who spoke from prejudice, and who had not taken the means of acquiring correct views on this subject. (Loud applause.) His lordship referred in re futation of this prejudice, to the encouragement given to literature and art in the earlier seats of commerce. He contended that so far from the pursuits of industry being incompatible with elegant accomplishments and refinement of mind, they had done more to promote these ends, than all the overvaunted glories of war. or the pursuits of ambition. W. Cnamszsts, Esq., of Edinburgh, then responded to the call with no small degree of trepidation. Ile telt no small pride and satisfaction in being thus honoured, and he could conscientiously say, that he had never before experienced such gratification as he had this day enjoyed. It was im possible for a stranger to visit this large and wealthy city without feeling that he had solved the riddle which had puzzled continental Europe as to what had raised England to such a mighty pitch of grandeur. It was not to science or the form of government, or the warlike arrangements o the country that this grandeur was attributable, nor to any thing connected with our social manners or national arrange ments, but it was owing, in his opinion, to one single quality in the English mind, its intense industry. Th;spromment quality bad latterly assumed for this country a magnificence which could find no parallel in any previous period. In Lancashire it had assumed its most important and interesting features. The wonderful realities of machinery bad assisted in this work, but it could not have been accomplished without the intelligence to create, and the perseverance to sustain, which had distinguished this part of the empire. In no part c: the kingdom had there been a wider diffusion of literature than in the 000nty of Lancashire. He would compliment Man chester on the po.szasion of so interesting an institution as tlse Atheneum ; but he would still more compliment this town upon the intelligence of establishing such an institution. Mr. CHAMBERS having pamei a high eulogium on Richard Cobden, moved a vote of thanks to the Directors of the Man chester Atheneum for the efforts they had bestowed in ma king the meeting interesting and instructive, which was passed. A vote of thanks to Lord Morpeth was proposed by Mr. M. Philips, and seconded by Mr. W. Browne. His lordship having acknowledged the compliment paid him, the company adjourned to a ball, which was opened with great spirit, and dancing kept up to a late hour. COMMERCIAL 4- MARKETS.

BRISTOL, Ocr. 22.-We have wet and blowing weather, no foreign arrivals, and our supplier of Irish grain to this market are confined to a few cargoes of Oats and Barley, with small lots by the steamers. But our farmers have afforded their Wheies freely at 586. to 645. per quarter, very fine up to 708., and English Flour is advanced to 60s. and 525. per sack. Few barrels in first hands. The sale of foreign Wheat is in moderate quantities at prices asked, say 68a. to 665. per quarter for Black Sea, and qualities are above our farmers' rates. Oats scarce, and 21s. to 34*. per quarter. Barley, for grinding, 336. to 36a. per 4001 b., scarce ; ditto, malting, 40*. to 485. ; fine Norfolk, 485., 495.. 60s. to 525. per quarter ; finest distilling Barley, 355. to 365. per 4001 b. Much demand for grinding Barley, but the high prices asked for fine malting checked the sale. With full attendance at this day's markets, I do not think that much business was done. BRADFORD, OCT. 20.-A larger quantity of Wheat than usual was pitched at this day's market, most of which was in prime condition, and the quality of many of the samples was of the choicest description ; there was a flatness about the market, and many of the parcels remained unsold at the close of the day, and prices must be quoted at about the same as before. In Barley the trade was more brisk, and making samples were dispoeed of at rather higher prices. Old Beans and Oats of good description found purchasers at higher prices, most being sold. Peas remained unaltered. BIRMINGHAM, Ocr. 22.-During the present week few transactions are reported in Wheat, but for what has changed hands full prices were obtained. Barley has realised an advance of ls. to 2s. per quarter. For Oats, we have a slow sale, at former prices. Beans, Is. per quarter higher. At this day's market there was a large supply of English Wheat, and rather higher prices were obtained at the com mencement; but it clased dull at the currency of this day se'ennight, and a good deal left unsold. Barley, 2s. per quarter higher. Oats sold very slowly, but lower prices were not submitted to. Beans and Pea la. per quarter higher.

The best samples sold at about Is. a quarter above last week's prices, but the inferior lots were dull of sale. Barley was in fair supply ; there was a brisk demand for the ben qualities, which were rather dearer. Nearly everything was sold. The supply of Oats was good, and the sale dull. The same may be said of Beans. Peas were in short supply, and but little business doing. The supply of Rye was short, and the trade slow , price, from 203. to 21s. a sack.

NEWBURY, OCT. 22.-The supply of Wheat was less than usual. Best white may be quoted 2s. dearer, and red do. nearly the same. There was a brisk sale of every quality, at an advance of at least la. per quarter. Barley, bright, and weighing 10 score 10 lbs., made the high price of 48s. per quarter; do. 10 score 4 lbs., do. 42.. per do. Some light, weighing not more than 9 score 10 Ir,s., from 355. to 38s. do.; goo 4 Barley Meal, from 20s. to 21s. per qr.

Oats, weighing 44 lbs., brought 335., and prices to 275. Gd. Beans and Peas, weighing 631 lbs., brought 523. per quarter. EDINBURGH, Ocr. 21.-At this day's market, we bad a very large supply of all sorts of corn from the growers, the quality of which was much affected by the continued wet weather we have experienced during the past week. Wheat met a very limited demand, at a decline of Ir. to 2s. per quarter from the rates of last Wednesday. During the week there has been no alteration in the value of free foreign or English Wheat, but buyers having got into stock for the time, salea have been very dull; and on the moderate business done to day, they generally had the turn in their favour. Barley fully maintained the prices of this day se'nnight. Oats were a very dull sale, especially secondary qualities, and all kinds must be quoted Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper.

GL.ISGOW, Ocr. 21.-Since the 14th inst., the arrivals at Grangemouth have consisted for the most part of 2,800 qrs. Wheat, 4,700 qrs. Barley, and 700 qra. Beans from the Coast, and about 3,000 qrs. Barley from abroad. The im ports from Ireland have been trifling; but some vessels with Oats are reported to be in the river, and a cargo of about 2,300 qrs. Wheat from Odessa. Transactions in Wheat to a fair extent were renewed at the close of the week, without any change in prices occurring . Fine qualities of white have been most in request, and 363. per 2401 be. has been obtained for Wisliesch. Flour has met a good demand at 365. per barrel, at which rate holden were not free sellers.
