Mr. Sheriff Lute, a propmet the first Resolution tot the adoption of the 3leeting, and in doing so he expressei. hie teem at the interne. of S 1 r. whose all grasp for mind would have done so much justice to this important subject. He was gratified with the opportunity of stating hh o decided approbation of the object of this Meeting ; and if he felt any pain on the occasion, it was that he could not express such approbation in a more effective manner. Whet , be first came to London, onfriended and unknown, lie had felt the bruit of such en Institution as they were now, he hoped, about to establish. It would save thousands of mechanics from those runions Courses to which they now resorted. because they bad not better means of occupying their time. It was, however, gratifying to him to be able to state that amongst all those inquiries which in the discharge of his official duties, he deemed it right to make amongst the tried and untried persons .confined iu the City's Prisons, he found very few maehanies.—(Cries of hear and applaine.) There were many dreadful instances n e t t l e consequences of immoral. negligent, and evil courses, as well as gambling, of which an appalling instance now engrossed the public attention, hut in all the afflicting cases that came before him, there were few instances of the com mitment of- mechanics. The fact showed the general character and habits of such class of their fellow men, and establieheil them as individuals who were prepared to on. :operate in efforts to promote their advantages. They must remember .that the mechanics, in -fact, eonstituted the si news of the state. Poets by their imaginate powers might correct and improve the taste of a people; but the me clanice formed theireal strength of the country. Under all these circumstances, lie proposed the resolution. Mr. R. (Vrtu seconded the Resolution, which was una nimously agreed to. 31r. R. TAYLOR proposed the second Resolition.—He 10xpreseed the high satisfaction lie felt at 'teeing the plea for a Mechanics' I nstititte taken op so warmly by a Meeting more nomerous than he could possibly have expected .to see asmothled on the present occasion. Great benefit had already accrued from similar institutions, not only to the mechanics themselves, but to the interests of science.— The Learned President of the Liontean Society mentioned wish much respect a School of Natursli-ts in the humble walks of life at Norwich in the last century, to whom the study of Natural History was considerably indebted. Some of them were weavers, or journeymen in other brandies of trade, 'anti were not less remarkable for their general good conduct, than for their a al fur the acquire ment and promotion of knowledge. Of one, be observed, that " lie was still living, and bad as discriminate a knowledge of our wild plants as most botanists who had made a noise in the world." The short and simple annals of these humble and disinter ested admirers of nature might seem eearcety perhaps wor thy the attention of the accomplished naturalist; but those who had the test claim to such a denoinfnation would feel most interest in the success of their fellow labourers, how far so rter below their own. lie need not remind the Meeting of the number of distinguished mathematicians who had risen from the humblest stations. The mantes of Saunderson, Fer guson, Emerson, sod many others, would occur to them. Be sides the Institution at eilaseow, there was a very flourishing Institution of t .e some kind at Edinburgh, which had been f.tanded by Mr. Horner. Similar institutions had also been commenced in Birmingham and other parts of the kingdom. — He hailed with toe greatest joy this glorious Meeting, if he might be allowed to call it so; for tie had never been present at a meeting, woich, in,his opinion. was so likely to promote the true interests of the operativectasre , , and to contribute to ' the welfare of all classes of the cominuidty. Heroic:hided by proposing the second Redsolution. Mr. HULLO seconded the Resolution, which was carried una ninweesly. Mr. Jotter St nem. 'f AT Lon, Barrister, proposed the third Resolution, which contaitte.l an acknowledgement of grati tude to the mechanics of Glasgow, fur the inspiring-es ample they have given to those of other cities to establish similar institutions. lu such acknowledgment the name of its founder should not he ontutitfed. It had been said by a Sage of antiquity, that " Philosophy descended from Heaven to dwell with man.' She had hitherto dwelt only with one dais awl the classes of subordinate rink bad been taught to regard her as an incomprehensible and un approachable divinity. It was the merit of their ex cellent Chairman to have emulated the prejudices which meitttained this selfish doctrine ; to have thrown open the gates of the temple of civilisation to all the votaries of science; and to have marked out a new line of contioneication between man and the universe, of mind. (Apples...) He Understood that there were'eeme who considered that was the interest of the employer that his mechanic ghoul I be ignorant. He hoped this opinion was ratertained by few. He would desire the s. who cherished that opinion, to look to our West Indian Colo- nies, and to see there the Of et of a system which tolerated ' absolute authority OR one side, and imposed abject severity on the other. '1 he evil that prevailed there, by the opera tion of these extrenie rinciplea, must convince them that there were reciprocal duties to he perforated between the employer and those when. lie employed, without the perfOrmance of which there could not be any secur.ty, confidence, or peace. The learned Gentleman concluded his epees h, which was generally and lundly applauded by enforcing the expediency of the members of the Institute being made as web as possible interested fur its success. Ma. J. Marra/Lae, who was announced as a painter and glazier, come forward to second the Resolution. He felt ninth satisfaction at witnessing Sr! large and so respectable a profoortion of the working tradesmen of the Metropolis as. sent Weil around him ; it was setting a praise-worthy example to those unfoitunste usen,who, by frequenting the pot house, instead of attending to their on ti interest, were hastening ra- . {idly their on u ruin, as well as that of their wires and fami lies. An I here be could not help conlret slating the City of London on having asone of its Slieriffs,slich a man astlieHon; Gentletnan near him (31r. Lurie) [applause]. That Gentle man had with a laudable humanity, looked into, with a view of alleviating as much as in his power, the situation of the prisoners placed tinder his charge. And it gave then (Mr. Whittaker) much pleasure to find, that of those pri soners.very few were mechanics, as from his own knowledge of the idle manner - in which many of that class of persons spent their time lie,bad reason to suppose that the propor Lion of mechanics in Newgate would have been found considerably greater than it turned out to he. • Let them look to the stile of the mechanic front the period of his being out of his time, and they would find that lie huil no one -gond example placed before Liiti ; he was proud to copy not only the art and habits of his trade, but the vices and follies of the journeymen arount him. He was thus thrown upon the *world, his friends perhaps_ living at a distance, without any friend to advise or control him, and having open before hint every temptation which the metropolis presents to the thoughtless and the unwary. i The intention of the proposed institution was to benefit the preterit'-as well as the future generation of mechanics, by affording them a rational, as well as a beneficial, means of spending tie leisure time alkede , l them by the nature of their professions. The Third Resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. J. PdARTINEAU, engineer, moved the fourth Resolution, and onserved that a similar institution had for some time been established at New York, under the complete management of the mechanics themselves. There could be, he said, but one opini‘n of the benefits that world result from the Institution, not only to the mechanics themselves, hut to society at large ; for to her mechanics was England middy indebted for her pre sent station in Europe. lid was in the habit of employing many men. and he could say, that to promote the knowledge of the workmen was promoting the interests of their employers. He called on all to assist in promoting the happiness of so large a portion of the metropolis. The CttAtRMAN hoped the Meeting would dispense with the formality of the Resolutions that were still to be moved being eeconded, as there was so much business before - the Aieetitig. Mr. Ald. K#v proposed the fifth Iteso!ottani which he vuof opinion would he materially conducive to the interests of the proposed Institution. He felt warmly disposed to aappott the enlightened views of the Worthy and Learned Individual who had opened the subject. He was himself connected with the mechanics of the country in the way of his lousines4, and he felt convinced, from what he had observed of their general in elligence and capability, that much might be expected from the facilities of promoting information, which this Instittrion would afford them. He could assure them, that as far as his abilities of influence extended, the Institution might reckon on his contribution, and co-operation, and also on the support of as the friends . . .. heeould influence. Mr. VA 1.1,1 NCE tilOnght it would be extremely desirable that the Institution should provide for the improvement of the working artisans and inerhanics the best praetical means of information. With this view moved the sixth Resolution. Mr. J. JOHNSON, of Vine Street, smith, who read his address trout a piper which he held in his hand, moved the 7th Resolution. lie hoped that abundant good would be done to the morals of the artisans and mechanics gene- rally from the merits of improvement which the proposed Institution would afford them. Let us then, said he, apply ourselves like gardeners in an evening, to the cultivation of our minds. Though each pos. teased of but comparatively little education, yet a number of small tapers produce a very height light.—(Loud cheers.) One great thing width he thought might be.espected from the founding of this Institution was, that it would withdraw aril. sans and mechanics during their leisure hours from the ale-horse and from violent and noisy amusements.--Once they lost a relish for things of this kind, they might possibly take a fanty to spend their evenings at home, where the females would find them more cheerful amusement.—(Cheers and laughlne.) lie anticipated much from the spirit and zeal which had eiready been displayed.--If they went on es they commenced he had Buie or no doubt that their now latent fires would break out and shed over their horizon a lustre brighter than that of the muthern lights, or even equal to the starry heavens.—(Cheers.) Mr. HooceiN proposed the Eighth Resolution, in an ap propriate speech, in the course of which he took occasion to impress upon the meeting the propriety of becoming, as early as possible, suthcribers to an institution, which would not only confer honour and profit upon themselves, but would also be productive of the greatest benefit to posteri. ty. 'rite Committee bad already received the Quince of more than 150 mechanics, and these were not a tithe of the men who were most anxious to contribute to the advance ment of the proposed institution. The Bth Resolution was put and unanimously agreed to. Mr. BEVAN. Engineer, rose to propose the9th Resolution. I At that late hour of the evening, lie felt he shoal I but consult the convenience of the Meeting, as well as to his own, by simply reading the Resolution. He was the more impelled to this course as heperceived that there were many Gentlemen ready to address them.—The Resolution was then read sod carried unanimously. li was next put and carried, that the following Committee should he appointed, with power id' add to their nowhere. Dr. Birkbeck, Richard Taylor, Esq., John 51artineas, Engineer, City Road, J. Raynhem. Engineer, Pentenville, James Parry. shoemaker, Thomas Hawes, Engineer, Lambeth, John Johnson Smith, James Nichols, Mr. Nash, IJ. 519dillan, Robert Motherhead, Thomas Alford, John Whittaker, painter and glasies, liuodge Street. These names were all agreed to as the standing Committee. A tientleman, who stated himself to be an itinerant lecturer of practical mechanism for shove 23 years, r se, and entered at some length into the objects which ought to call up and awaken the attention of the members of this infant Society, and said Ire should feel gratified at lecturing gratis on the opening of toe Institution on any subject which might be considered valuable.—(Bravo, bravo! and cheering. Mr. Robertson and Mr. Hoskins were then requested, by a Resolution put from the Chair, and carried, to retain their piesent situations as acting Secretaries to the lead. lotion. . • Tbe SiCRIITART then read the following Damn tied donations;-11. Brougham. Esq. M. P. WI. • Dr. Itirkbeek. 501.; hie. Alderman Rey, ; John C. WI. En. M. P. 101.; B. Railer, Esq. 10.; John Valiance, Esq 51. 55.; Mr. Francis Place, 51 ss. ; Mr. C. Donkin, 5..; Cot, Torrent, 51. 55.; Mr. Sheriff Laurie. 51. 55.; Mr. W. Cob. bet,sl. 55.; Mr. 0. Lney,sl. Sa. There were besides various names, with the sum one guinea added to these names. Mr. Counter? said,he It id hut one word to intrude on their attention at so late a period of the night. lie had been cull vinced early by the arguments he had heard,that albeit° were thefriends of tlm mechanics of this country ought to give the Institution their countenance and support. With this impres sion be had given the Chairman his five gnineas.without the slightest wish to be either a founder or a member thereby. It was fit that lie and others snould be. subscribers, and send their money or mite of assistance ; but it was not at all desirable or proper that they should he members. These were the groueds of his objection: for if they allowed per sons not being mechanics to he Chairmen, and Directors, and Governers.-too soon they could find to their cost, that these persons would put the mechanics entirely on one side, and become th eniseivis their governors and masters. — This sentiment was mill) , in conformity with the opinion of Mr. Brougham, who recommended similar caution. He still recullecfed the mra of the founding of the Literary Fend, by a Dissenting Minister named D. Williams,whieh wasexpreesly intended and appro. primed ass fund for decayed authors, or the relatives awls authors, who had distinguished themselves or their writings by the inculcation of religious and moral sentiments, and ! • their defence of liberty. Bye and bye the Association became flourishing and valuable; persons of a different character from Mr. Williams set shout to get it into their , hands, and unfortunately succeeded ; since which net one shilling. be believed, had been paid into any hands, but those who wrote only in support of slavery. (Loud cheering.) Messrs. Taylor and Martineau were announced as sub scribers of ten guineas move. Sir. Binley and Mr. Richard Taylor five guineas. the thstiks of the meeting was then unanimously voted to the Chtirman for his able conduct in the Cnair, and the meet dispersed. 'WI learn from Clare, that on Wednesday morning, as the Rev. Sir W. Bead was paying from his own hour to a Bishop's Court at Killaloe, he was fired at near Itslimn, and two balls were lodged in his body—one near the left' shoulder, and the other in the thigh. The balls have not been extracted, and fears are entertsined for the unhappy gentleman's recovery. There was lately some slissenitoes between himself and his parishioners about the Tithe Comm ' mutating Bill. He was o;ferttl 2s. an acre on an nonsense tract of country, and he wonlil take no less than 3s.

The Meeting was held in the Large Room, and by half past seven o'clock it Was eery crowd. d. At that hoer, Dr. Birkberk, Mr. Sheriff Lactic, Mr. Aid.

Dri liirkbee.c,on motion of Mr Piece, was called to thee Chair. Heyrocreded to advert to the object of the present ► 'arming, +•t the same time noticing the rise of the Me chanics Institut«, in Glasgow, which had originated with him about 20 years ago, a lien Professor of Natural P. 00100 j and Chemistry, in Anderson's I netitutionin that city. At that period, after leaving visited various rnanu fat iurie and u orkehops. he was for. ibly imp d with con• viriien that a ould result to the men theineelves, and the Seeirty generelly, if means could he adopted fur the mild. 'yahooot their reaaen—" He oven's lamp in man," and the advancement of their scientific knowledge. He immediately pauficeesi the formation of a Mel banks' Institute, and •predfered to deliver Lectures illustrative and in . proniotieti • of the objects lie hail in view. His projects sere derided • by some, and others thought them unworthy even of a sneer. It was stated that the Mechanics would • Not tare about attending ; that if they did attend, they • wiMhl not comprehend the reasonings and details of the :proffered lectures, and that even if they understood such Lectures, they would afterwards be disregarded. He thieve% er persevered. The men attended, and very soon in great numbers. They not only listened to what they beard, but they comprehended, they persevered. and they ronq vered.—(Applanre ) 'I he advantages of the Institute were soon perceived and felt. The lectures were attended by thousands of mechanics. It was seen•that they at once • peomoteil the moral advantages and social comforts of the men ; together o ith the trading and commerci el prosperity of Glasgow. The lectures and the institution were then supp irtril earnestly by all elaases ; and the maintenance of the Institute, in a few years, was mainly in utagel, as such an institution . ought to be, by the mechanics them selves.— (Hear, hear, and applans-.) Though he hail long ceased to give .lectures before the Institnte in GI isgow, as lie had heretofore June, it gave his mind great satisfaction to be able thus to speck of the rapid success and continuing % prosperity of the parent Institution. On the even g on which they were met for the firm ition of en Institute for the Metropolis, and at that hour too, thousands of mechanics in Glasgow were proceeding to • hear the lectures of their Institute. Thus far, and satis factorily, h it prospered that Institute, the criginal propo sition for %hide less treated as the impracticable ebullition of youth !—(Applanse.)—lt was then his sincere wish to see the Mechanics of the lira city in the world possess snch an institution and risks) , similar advantages: and he trnsted the numerous audience which he lied then the, happiness to address wool , ' not be insensibte to the example which their Scotch brethri n hail set them. It required bat their determination to be accomplished. and their will would be snfficient for that purpose. It had been well observed by Degald Stealer , that when theoretical principle was seen combined with practical knowledge, we witnessed liftman intellect in its highest degree ofperfection•NowsOrnc• trail knowledge was the peculiar possession of the mechanic, vrhyshould lie not acquire the remaining requisite to this grandelevation of mind ? It was from mechanical percep tion that all the splendid eliscoserice of science had been made. It was from observing the oscillation of a Limp bung from the ceiling that Gadd. o laid the foundations of a new and important system relating to the laws of motion. From die reflection ended by the falling of an apple, Sir Isaac Newton had redured the laws which regulate our planetary system, and which !tweedy the most distant parts of space. In modern times be nerd only mention the names of Watt, Bratnali and Perkins, to illustrate the important cotinexioo of inrchanieal propertirs with the promotion of science. The first Resolation which would be proposed, declared that it was highly desirable that ao institution for the advancement of mechanical knowledge in London should be founded. To this he should only achl, that he would give his utmost aid towards the completion of so ext client an object.—Before he sat down, he bad to s announce to diem that Mr. Brougham hid promised himself the pleasure of attending the Meeting. but had been prevented doing so by insuperable causes. lie had, however, sent them a letter which would be read, and he had promised them his best assistance throughout the course of their esertions. • The letter from Mr. Brougham was then read. It ex pressed his concrirrence in the propriety of the proposed plan for establishiag a Landon Mechanics Institute, and his warm wishes for its snecess ; anti pointed out the necessity of its being tweintai fled strictly tinder the control and ananagement •of the mechanics themselves. In the letter was enclosed a donation of 201. It was also in • Booted, and received with much applause, that Dr. Birk beck bad presented a similar sum towards the interests of the sieving.
