Mom:Nest' 'ght a tititiseruus and most respectable party of Gelitlemen dined together at the Assenshly Rooms, in Newcastle, on the occasion of presenting a piece of plate to Mr. G. Stephenson, fir the ser vice lie has rendered to science mid humanity, by the Iliveittiun of his Safety Lamp. About si‘ o'clock the party sat down to dinner, when the Chair was taken by Charles John Browning, Esq. of Goa- Nth ; on his right were seated nits Earl of Strath. more, 11. G. Liddell, Esq. awl Mr. G. Stephen son ; and on his 141, Charles IVsn. Biggs, Rohl. M. Pearson, and Matthew Bell, I.:stirs. The Vice- Presidents' Chairs were occupied by Joint Brand liug and Richard Lambert, Emirs. Amongst the company we noticed— Sir Charles Loraine, Bart., Mr. J. Davidson, Dr. Demlimn, Mr. Pearson, jou., Mr. Grey, Mr. Coital:ill, Mr. Loraine, Mr. J. L. Loraine, the Sheelflof Newcastle, Mr It Wm. Bewail holt, .I r.

Ben , oit, Mr. tt ;two, Mr. John Watson, Mr. King, Mr. John 11111111411, dc. After the cloth was withdrawn, mid the Chair man had given the toasts of " The piing," The Prince Regent, and the rest of the Royal Family," which were di unk with the customary marks of re spect, the piece of plate, consisting of a very large and massy silver tankard, was placed before the Chairman ; who, after it had been submitted to a short inspection of the company, ruse, mid thus ad dressed the Aleeting :—He thanked the company fur the honour they had done him in placing him in the situation he then occupied, on an occasion which af f orded him the highest pleasure, and met with his most hearty concurrence. A great deal of controversy, and, lie was sorry to add, of animosity, had prevailed upon the subject of the Safety Lamps; but this, lie trusted, after the example of moderation that had been set by Mr. Stephensun'a ftiends, would subside, and all personalities cease to be remembered. As to the claim of that individual, to testify their gratitude to whom they were that day assembled, lie thought every doubt must have been removed in the minds of unprejudiced persons, by a perusal of the evidence recently laid before the public. A. it was not his intention to detain the company by any lengthened uddress, lie should only beg Mr. Stephenson'. acceptance or this small token' of their esteem, wishing loin health long to enjoy it, and to citable him to employ those talents with which Providence had blessed him, for the be nefit of his fellow creatures. lie then handed the tankard to Mr. Stephenson, and concluded by giving his health, with three times three; which was ac cordingly drunk with touch applause. After this had subsided, . . . . Mr. STEPHENSON, evidently much affected, rose, and addressed the Chairman iii nearly the following words :—" Sir, I rise with feeling s of the greatest gratitude , to return you and the Gentle men of this !Meeting, my humble thanks for the valuable present you have made me, for the dis covery of a Safety Lamp. And I shall ever re flect, with pride and gratitude, that my lahotiis have been hon o ured with the approbation of such a distitiguislied Meeting ; and you may rest assured, that and any talent I may possess, shall hereafter be employed in such a manlier as not to give you, Gentlemen, any cause to regret the counts/stance and support you have so generously afforded me." _ . _ This address was received with the warmest plau dits by the company. The Earl of STRATHMORE 80011 after rose, and proposed the health of their IVortfly Chairman, and thanks to him for his exertions in favour of the very worthy and unassuming individual (Jr. Ste phenson) on his right hand. This toast was in stantly drunk with three times three. Mr. BRANDLING returned thanks for the honour done him, of which, he said. he felt himself un woithy ; but, he trusted, that no exertions of him- . self, nor of Huy of Ms family, would ever he found wanting where merit was to be rewarded or oppre►- siou resisted. The toasts which followed ware, " Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg" (in whose sorrows, observed the Chairman, every one must sympathise), " The Duke of York and the Army," and " Lord Mel ville and the Navy." The CHAIRMAN then observed, that the next toast which he should submit to their notice, wa■ one which he was sure would meet with their most cordial approbation. It never had been the wish of those who supported the claims of Mr. Stephenson to injure the fair Lune of any man, or deprive an eminent individual of the merit to which lie was justly entitled. Under this impression, he felt no he•itatrou in rising to give the health of Sir H. Davy, for the ready manner in which he come for ward to lend his aid to the cause of humanity, end for the great and disinterested services he had ren dered to the coal trade, and to science in general. Ile felt sincere pleasure in paying this tribute to that gentleman, but could have wished that a simi lar spirit of liberality had influeoced those who had culled themselves his friends. Ile should propose the health of Sir liumphry Davy, with time limes three—which was accoulingly drunk. Mr. W. BRAN DUNG then ruse and observed, that as the object of 3lr. Stephenson', friends had been to testify their gratitude, not only to him, but to every one to whom they consider themselves in debted, which had been sufficiently exemplified by the manner the former toast had been received, he begged to propose the health of a gentleman to • The tankard here presented is of large dimensions, being capable of holding live pints, and the workmanship is of a hue hold character ; it was much admired. On the (runt of it M engraved the following inscription ! " THIS PIECE OF PLATE, Purchased with a part 4.f the Stint of a Subscription of raised for the Remuneration of MR. GEORGE STEPHF.ISSON, . . .

It anti) list he improper is add, that the tankard was Task by Mr. Robertson, of this town (Nettimtic., 'Juts hint gitat credit. hom lie ctins:,dererl tia.r warmed thanks were clue. Ile ullisiled to Dr. Claimy. That gentleman was entitled, in his opinion, to the high credit of having been the liist ho sugoested the idea of the possibility of constructing a Safety . Lamp. He had displayed the greatest ingenuity tie the pur. suit of that object, and lie had to a certain de gree ;terms) plisheil it. De cot troettd an instru ment 111164011 those I:lllleivivs tvliich the early experi ments of Sir 11. Davy, us drtatlyd iii his pamphlet, merely stibstinitiated. lle had sliewii that if all eau= plosive mixtule was thrown into an air-tight lantern, either no explosion at all would take phase, or if it did, it would be confined to the interior, and no mischief would ensue. It ought not to lessen our admiration or our gratitude, that the discovery of the extraordinary property of small tubes and aper tures Ittl to the construction of au inetrumetit of greater practical utility—hail that not been invent id, no doubt his lantern, in many cases, might have hers beneficially employed; why his claims had never been regularly brought before the coal owners, he was at u loss to imagine. The gentlemen of the Wear, in whose neighbourhood he lived, had wii.. nessed his exertions, and to the Society for prevent. ing accidents in coal mines, his discoveries, he under stood, had been regularly communicated. For himself lie could only say, that he should eagerly have embraced any opportunity, had one been given bin', of testifying his admiration of the abilities, and in sheoing a proper sense of gratitude for the services of the gentleman whose health he hail now the honour of propovitig. lie then proposed the health of Dr. Clumsy, which wus drunk with every mask of respect by the Meeting. Mr. %YAWN ruse and observed, that not fitting Dr. Clatiny present, and having at an early psriod taken an interest in his lamp, arid through the Rev. Mr. Turner been the menus of its introduction to the. Literary Society here, he would venture to state that had Dr. C. been present, lie would have grate fully acknowledged the honourable advertence thus made to his scientific exertions. To Dr. C. it had always appeared to the speaker, belonged the ',unit of having first called the attention of the public to the possiFde construction of a Safety Lamp for coal mines, and of having attracted to it the notice of other individuals, and among the rest, that of one of the first philosophers of the age. Mr. J. lIKANDLING then proposed " The Com mittee, and thanks to them for their most impartial and satisfactory Report;" with three times; three. . - After this toast had been drunk, the Cu 1111 l littee severally returned thanks. The toasts next in succession from the Chair were, "The Lord Lieutenant of the County," and " The Members fur the County of Northumbei land." Mr. LORAINE then proposed the health of " Mr. H. W. Brandling," which was immediately drunk with three times three, and much applause. Alter it had subsided, Mr. it. W. BRANDLINO returned his sincere thanks for the honour they bad done him, particu holy gratifying at the present moment. Convinced, from the beginning. that lie advocated the cause of truth mid justice, he was relieved during the progress of the discussion from any anxiety, or any tear, that the result would prove as it had dime, highly h•imurable to Mr. Stephenson. Lie had looked fur no other reward ; he had, however, received one of the highest it was possible to bestow. The Gentleman had left him nothing to wish. He was justified in believing that it was the opinion of those, whose opinion he valued, that his conduct had been proper, tied his judgment had been correct. He cordially united with those who wished all animosity to cease; he had studiously avoided encouraging any time.; of the kind, and had never mentioned Sir H. Darn'. name, but with proper respect. Ile had no intention of troubling the Meeting with those arguments which the bold, but unsupported assertion of the indiscreet friends of -that eminent chemist had made it necessary so fre quently to repeat; hut us this was the last time lie should ever perhaps have an opportunity of deli% er ing his sentiments, he could not help maim g one or two recent, and, as it appeared to I • , very ex traordinary transactions. Of all the publican tttt s, he confessed, to wind, the controversy had given rise, none surprised him so much as the resolu tions signed by the President of the Royal So ciety, and four other “entlenten of acknowledged talent. That they, in common with the rest of mai.kind, had a right to deliver their sentiments upon any question of science, he would be the last man to deny; but that they should erect them selves into a tribunal to judge of the comparative merit of individuals, to pronounce upon conflict ing opinions, that they should declare the resulu ' tions of tither persons to be erroneous, will:tint any communication, without a posvibilily of keiowing the evidence that was before them, in the tiain of Pleas that led to the ccoclusions they coodeunn ; that they should go forth and pronounce a most in genious and modest man, and, from his situation in life, peculiarly liable to be injured by such an attack. an unprincipled plagiarist ; Rod that they should expect the public to receive all this upen , their bare assertion, is a display of self-importatice, and an assumption of authority, which neither age nor rank, nor talent, can justify, and against which every independent man was bound to ',roust. The opinion of those (he observed) dew; vedly eminent in any particular branch of science, ought never to be given to the world receipt it can be supported by incontrovertible evidence—and for this good reason, their names and char:tete's carry conviction to the minds of those who have neither the leisure nor inclination to judge fur themselves; with Mr. Stephenson's founds, stud the general mass of mankind, it is different ; they can have credit roily for what they can prove. A clear proof or the justice of this remark was furnished by the immediate consequences of the publi cation of this fulminating dreier. A meeting of the coal trade was called fur the osteosible propose of considriing the resolutions of .11r. Stephenson's friends. Those Geotlenien, us fronting a consi derable poitioo of that body, of course attended. Certain resolutions were proposed by their oppo twills, not roily foinalcil °hum the ol ti tt ion of those • five Gentlenieu, for no other new document was produced, but ',dually adopting the very words. of it. An amendment was proposed, mat a division was demanded, but the Chairman having decided, that the cost of the coal trade when considering their local and 4:0111111erCial interests, namely, that one partner or agent only should be allowed to vote for rlich conc.-10, should be adopted in u case where the lIMMIIIIMINIi general opinion of the hotly at liirge Wl , l reqiiired, Air. Stephenson's friends, uppnrei•tly a twijority, lefr the mom. Mr. tiratid ling coutentled they •ei e justi fied in so doilig. as this determination excluded not only three-fourths of the coal owners, hut tilos many of that respectable hotly, p►ofe.siostally em ployed in the management of the odor, from any exercise of their judgment. The resolution•, nevertheless, were passed mod circulated with mach industrc, es the general °pillion of the coal trade. Such proceeding* requited no coin• meta. tie would only observe, if any gen tleman 01111 d he gratified by such spnlause, his taste must Use vitiated itidee I. He concluded by obs serving, that it had been asserted by so moony 00000 us writer, that he load taken a pan in the business from personal hostility to Sir U. Davy. If that weir to he taken in the must sense, it ivas too contemptible to merit notice ; but if those gentlemen who had made a voluntary surrender of their mental freedom, meant to assert .that any one who chinned the pri vilege of openly, independently, but, at the same time s decorously, stating Itis opinion ui any sub ject whatever, must he the enemy of Sir H. Davy— then, though protesting against the monstrous cull. elusion, he was afraid he must consent to be so con. sidercarby those enlightened geutiamen fur the rest of his life. The Members for Newcastle, end the Members for the County of Durham, wire next g4en from the Chair. Mr. ititiN BRANDLING observed, be was sure it would he quite unnecessary ror him to vor any thin v: in recommendation of the toast whirh he shoo d next submit to them, as he wus cottfideut it woo d meet with their itioxt hemnty approbation. He should therefore, niihout further preface, propose to them the lie.itth of the Noble Lord with whose company they were that day honoured, This %%us received with the warmest plaudits by the company, Hod Isis Lordship's health was drunk with three times three. Lord STRAVINIORE rose, and returned his thanks for the honour the company had done him. He had, lie said, met with few things in life which had given him more pleasure and satisfaction, than low mg been a Member of the Committee appointed at a meeting held for the purpose of retnunerating the I humble and ingenious individual near him, for his valuable discoveries, It was by no means his wish to detract from the merit and scientific fame of Sir ff. Davy, or to undervalue the character of the learned bodies to which lie had appealed, but he tI must ever regret that an little liberality end can- dour had been displayed by that individual, in the discuasion which had lately taken place. This consideration suggested to him a sentiment which, with the Chairman's leave, he would propose to the Meeting— .' Rivalry iu science wili ~,,, t jealousy, •ind may ever ) one entvicil in useful rcsistuclics reap the benefit of Lis uwu labuue This sentiment was received with n burst of ay. plause, and was drunk in a bumper with three times three. The health. of the Secretary •nJ Treasurer to the Cointuittee (Mr. H.%V. I:noodling mid Mr. Lim bed) were nest given ; when these Gentlemen shindy returned thanks. The cheerful and convivial spirit displayed by the Chairtnan, soon infused itself into the com pany, and rendered this Meeting. from its c•uni mencement till its close, a scene of festivity and good humour seldom witnessed. This festive scene waskept up with great spirit till a I.►te hour, when Lord Strathmore ruse and proposed the health of the Chairman, will► the brat thanks of the company to him fir the able and agree tilde manner in which he presided at the ►Mlerung. Ilia Lordship then retired, and the greater part of the company followed his example. A imitator remained with the Chairman, but the Meeting soya after finally disper►ed.
