AIRBUSTUS F it EDI RICK, Duke of SUSS FX, Chaim:to. I LANCASTERIAN DINNER. r ' 6 .* 'Ol According to their custom, he begged to call for " Non Nobi6," which was sung in excellent style by the musical gentlemen present, among whom was Brahani, Taylor, Leet, King, &t. The Duke of tivsstx then rose, and observed it was quite unnecessary for him to make any prepa ratery remarks to the toast he was abotit to propose. He the,, gave 6 6 The King—The Patron of the Lanceaterian Plan of Educa tion, and Friend of the Poor." which was received with unbounded applause. The Cumnxior then stated, that as heunderstood Mr. Braham was obliged to leave the company at an early hour, and had kindly offered to sing au Ode written for the occasion, he hoped it would not be improper at this period to request the atteption of the company while it was sung. Mr. Braham then gave the following Ode, written by Mr. Montgo mery ‘‘ Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get Wisdom; and with all thy getting, get -Understaoding."—Peoveans, ch. h. ver. 7. Of all that live, and move, and breathe, Man only rises o'er his birth ; He looks above, around, beneath, At once the heir of heaven and earth : Force, cunning, speed, which Nature gave The various tribes throughout her plan, Life to enjoy, from death to save, —These are the lowest powers of Man. From strength to strength he travels on, He leaves the lingering Brute behind ; And when a few short years are gone He soars a disembodied Mind : Beyond the grave, with hope sublime, Destined a nobler course to nm, In Air career the end of Time Is but Eternity begun 1 What guides him in his high pursuit, Opens, illumines, cheers his way, Discerns the immortal from the brute, GOD'S image from the mould of clay ? 'Tis Knowledge :—Knowledge to the Soul Is Power, and Liberty, and Peace; And while celestial ages roll, The joys of Knowledge shall increase. Hail to the glorious plan! that spread This light with universal beams, And through the human desert led - Truth's living, pure, perpetual streams. —Behold a new Creation rise, New spirit breathed Into the clod, Whereer the voice of WISDOM cries, " Man, know thyself, and fear thy Goo I" The above was sung by Mr. Braham in his best manner, and he retired amidst the plaudits of the company, who were highly delighted with the dis play of talent which this great master showed on the occasion. The Duke of SUSSEX then said, he should make but one remark on the toast he was about to propose : " I have to inform you, Gentlemen, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent has sent 1001. as a dona tion to this Institution ; a proof that the Lancasterian Society has not been abandoned by his Royal High. ness."—[Applause.] The Prince Regent was then drank.—" God Save the Kiag," was now sung, the whole company standing and joining in chorus. Next followed The Queen, and the Femnle Branches of the Royal Family, Patronesses of this Institution. The Royal CHAIRMAN observed, that in proposing the health of a near relative of his, then seated on his right, he should say little on the occasion. 66 Lowe posing the health of the Duke of Kent I owe much to him. I beg to introduce this Illustrious Personage as the first who•directed my attention to the Lancas terian System. Before that period I entertained cer tain prejudices inimical towards it, which prejudices my Royal Brother completely removed. I shall say nothing more, Gentlemen, of him than by stating, that be was the first who introduced our system into the army, by which the soldier was rendered the har. binger of peace and instruction." The Duke of Kest was then drank with three times three. His Royal Highness rose amidst the acclama tions of the company. He thanked them for the ho nour they ,had done him; and he also begged them to accept his grateful acknowledgments for the warm pecuniary support which on that and other occasions, but especially at present, they had given to the In stitution. Having a few days since been Chairman at a meeting of this society, at which Mr. Lanekster read his report, it became his duty to make it known to the public, that the private Committee had carried on the cause at their own individual expence. They were now in advance 60001.; " let us then, Gentle men," continued his Royal Highness, " this night make a grand effort to reimburse the Committee.— There is one consideration, Gentlemen, that if this money be raised, it will not return to their own pockets. It will again be occupied in the laudable promotion of the Laucasterian Society. In a few years, I hope it will extend to the remotest parts of the globe. We have now, Gentlemen, several in stances of lads, educated by Mr. Lancaster, wire have been able in two years, to become masters of schools for a thousand boys. Two things I wish to state :—First, I hope you will reimburse the Com- i mittee; and secomlly, that you will from your su: perfluities, add to the fund for the instruction of Schoolmasters." His Royal Highness then apole. gized for occupying so much of the time of the com pany. He had stated the case *fairly and candidly ; and hewas convinced, that nothing would be wanting from the generosity of the public. Mr. LANCASTER then said, that he had recently travelled 5000 miles, and rejoiced to say he found the Princes rising into dignity in the estimation of the nation. He adverted to the regiment of the Duke of Kent, in which' 1000 soldiers had been in structed. During his recent tour in Ireland, he met with great encouragement ; the Magistrates had set up schools in several towns, which he bad seen flourishing. Puring the time he was at Edinburgh, 3000 persons had attended one of his lectures. If this was not a proof of the prevalence of the system, he was at a loss to tell what was. The Magistrates of Stirling had transmitted an official vote of thanks to the Duke of Kent, for having introduced the Lan- casterian System into his regiment, now stationed at that place. By means of these soldiers the Magis trates had been enabled to introduce this mode of Education among the youth - of Stirling, and a sohool was now flourishing there. At Glasgow the Magistrates were particularly anxious to promote the j ....rifj......- On Saturday the Anniversary of the foundation of the Lancasteriatt Institution was celebrated by a Dinner at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen. street, Lincoln's Inu-fieldi, blit Royal iliighweas the Duke of Sussex in the Chair. The Meeting was more numerously attended than ' on any former occasion, about 500 having sat down to dinner, among whom we observed his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, his Grace the Duke of, Bedford, who sat on the right of the Chairman, be tween the two Royal Brothers; Lord Fingall and the Marquis of Tavistock, who were on the left of the Ouke of Sussex ; Earls of Rosalyn and Selkirk ; Lord Carrington, the Hon. Mr. Elphins'on, Sir T. Baring, Bart. M. P. ; the Rey. Doctors Maltby, l Wallis, and Crombie ; Reverend Messrs. Malthus, , Humphrys, Eva n s, an d Hughes ; Messrs. Whitbread, Brougham, Parnell, Lyttleton, flume, Jackson, Wm. Smith, G. Smith, M. Fitzg erald (Knight of Kerry), Curran (M a ste r o f th e Rols—lreland), H. Grattan, M. Burgoyne, Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Sheriff Heygate, Col. O'Kelly, Sir Francis Goold, Mr. Burke, with a large party of Catholic Deputies, and a number of other highly distinguished Patrons of this invaluable Instituton. The dialler was most excellent, rind gave universal satisfaction. After the cloth was removed, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex rose and stated, it was his particular wish that, on this occasion, every Gentleman should be allowed to follow his own tenets. He was convinced that that conduct would give universal satisfaction,' THE SiATESM . ion. thet company, and, in n at tn io e n u s t . , would refuse a their li a "---....""""--"------.
