H e sail f.e ought, perbsps, to apologise for rising so immediately to address the meeting, btu as the distinguish al individual to whose' merits they were anxiobs to pay a just tribute, owed his fame to his scientific acquirement", and was a member of that Institution over , *lnch he (Sir H. Davy) presided, he would be permitted to speak N' his merits. The steals engine, before Mr. Watt's time. had t been a rude machine, and his improvements were not fortuitous. (Hear.)

His memory would live as long as chinned so. ciety existed, but it became those, who had known and regarded him, •to crests a testimonial of their gratitude, in memory of his many diewieings. (Hum) He should therefore move— " That die late Mr. James Watt, by the . profound science and original minims di s played in his admirable meentione, has, more than any other man of his age, exemplified the pracjeal utility of knowle4ge, enlarged the power of man over t*. i external world, and both multiplied and diffused the convenience and enjoyments of butnan life." Mr. BOLTON (son of the partner of Mr. Watt) seconded the *evolution. Ilia intimate friendship with Mr. Watt would not jus.

Bolton read from a written paper a very elaborate r imisfactory account of Mr. Watt's various inven. amen and conclusion gave his cordial support to the resolution. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Me. Hnsaissox, in moving the second resolution, observed, that if there were any individual who could doubt whether Mr. Watt deserved to be ranked amongst the first benefactors of man kind, that individual, he thought, had not well calculated the in flame of physical science upon the moral condition of mankind. (War.) The economy and abridgment of labour were, in his opinion, new facilities for improving die condition of society. They atford ed the means of exciting, even in the most untutored minds, flesh wants, and fresh desires; and if he wished to illustrate this he sash. say, that not half a century had passed since Cooke was wondered is tiered& Islands by savages, and how were those as tags since civilised, and how great were their mince, and how con.' Oda:01y were they Poised in the scale of civilise) meekly ? If this was the beneficial influence a economy and ahridgmet,t of labour at that distance, was it net fairly inferential, that, in this country, their benefits were much tno:e extensive. When they were led to consider the propriety of erecting a monument to bit. Watt, let not his unobtrusive omens while living be supposed to disqualify him from sharing posthumous celebrity with those whose minium, tho igh more brilliant, perhaps,' were not so substantial. (Hear.) be moved. that the benefits cohferred by 111 r. AVatt on the whole civilised ward, has been first and most experienced by his own country, which owes a tribute of national gratitude to a man who has thus honoured her by his genius, and promoted her well being by his discoveries. Sir J. hlace txwosat said, he had now to perform the duty allot ted to him, that of wonting tbt resolution proposed by the Right lion. Gentleman. He felt it would be dnbecoining in him to de cline the ho n our of parthipating in the sentiments common to ell who had with such ability spoken upon' this question. The name and character of Mr. Watt might justly be presented to them in a double point of view. Had he been known merely for his scientific ansinmente, his time would have been handed down to a late pos terity—had be been merely the inventor of useful arts, his Maas' would havemarked an epoch in the progress of mankind in the arts of life. Hot Mr. Watt alone, as far as he had heard, combined these two character', and having made the greatest discoveries in science, he had applied these discoveries to an immediate object. No man mamma entitled to the thanks of his country, and of all mankind. The debt of science to his memory had been paid by the President of the Royal Society. The debt of the State by the responsible Ministers of the country, of which he was one of the briediteet ornaments. The people generally were not deficient in acknowledging the merit of distinguished men. It was absurd to speak of Mr. Watt, but as one of the most illustrious bene factors to the world, and his achievements exceeded almost all imagination. His discoveries were truly wonderful. He really in contemplating such exploits could not help occasion ally indulging trembling hopes, that he would not willingly expose to the eye of dwocorcenthat there were undliscovered,in the volume of nature some mighty and magnificent projects. lie had himself, in company with a Mend near him (Mr. Brougham) witnessed a most delightful and interesting assembly—the Mechanics' Institu. tines and he there saw UM mechanics listening with the deepest at tention to the lecture of a scientific man, upon a purely scientific and epparesuly, to them — but only apparently—a remote subject, and when the lecturer had concluded an intellectual plaudit issued from that assembly. lie rejoiced that this personal was brought under the consideration of the Meeting in the same year that his Majesty. with a peculiar liberality, had given, not to the noble, or the tristocracybf the land, but to the public at large, an opportunity of improving and gratifying their taste, by witnessing some of the noblest spairnems of the Fine Arts that had hitherto been given to the world The Honourable Gentleman concluded by seconding the resolution. The question was then put, and the resolution carried with unanimity. Mr. Boottonam rue to propose the third resolution, and he was received with much applause. Ile said he felt thanklnl for being permitted to propose a resolution, embodying, in a pi eetical form, that which he trusted would be the unanimous sere ef this meeting. He knew that he had been selected for this euneve, in , consequence of an attempt which he had made, to Inen; science Within the reach of the humblest classes of the tt ken' of this country a and the effect of which effort, however :able, would probably be to draw forth from the humblest classes of ameety many men resembling him, whose name, once obscured, now shone forth with a lustre at once brilliant and enduring. lie bad had the happiness to be acquainted intimately with Mr. Watt,—and they only who knew him by his public me.its, prodigious as they were, knew but one-half of his worth. (Hear.) A mere candid— a more skilful—a more unmanning man—one more scrupulously just and nice in all his actions, he hail never yet known, and ape of the most extraordinary circumstances connected with his history was, that with the great versality and variety of his talents, an d his many accomplishments, he brought to every subject, not merely an accuracy of expression, but a critical exactness *et made his phrase as peculiarly felicitous as Isis disco veries were Moiety enginel. (Hear.) Such were some of the distinctions ohu man whose memory they had assembled to ce -5 leb-ate, and that man's memory he had to propose that a mo nuntent should to raised. This was not necessafy few his fame— his mem my would last as Img as that element which h: had IrsL But to preserve that memory fresh In the public ad to encourage in that class of society from which he shone forth, a generous spirit of distinction, and for their own gratification, they should place some testimonial to his memory in the elace where, of all others, it was most litting that he who In his life-time had so largely contributed to the benefit of mankind—not by die sword of slaughter, but by the arts of peace—should have some memorial placed in the T. mple of that God whose religion spoke peace and good-will to mantled. He should therefore move, that a monument be erected to Isis memory. either in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul's or in the Collegiate Church of St. Peter's, Westminster, and that a sub weription be forthwith opened for that purpnee.

PALACE COURT, FRIDAY ' JuxE 18. HEATHER y. )ATAXY. in this ease Mr. Ta Essit:Eß had obtained a yule to show cause • why the defendant, who is an officer ofplie Court, should not pay the debt and costs in an action entitled " Blether v. Stubbs," for tak ing insufficient bail. The ease in support of the mie wee ar Upon the metier' being , brought agairst Mr. Stubbs, the after( Bqant) who had the ' was cautioned repeatedly against taking the bail of two aim named Winter and Tuite, who were alleged to be " men of straw;" but, notwithstanding all injunctions he did take their ball, end the con- ' sequence was, that the bail bond was proceeded upon, and judg ment entered up against Winter, and hoe left without taking out an execution, as their insufficiency was by this time visible. The consequence of this was the present motion, which, Mr. Thessifrer cer.tentled, it was the practice of the Court to grunt until a few years since. EBLE now showed cause against the rule, and observed such a proceeding would allow a plaintiff various waysof recovering his claim ; for, that if the least difference should arisen to these. sponsibility of the men accepted as bail, be would be at liberty not only to move the Court against the officer fbr the amount of debt, but lay to his charge censure upon censure. Now he (Mr. Erie) would prove that the affidavit of Spilling, loon which the motion was granted, was wrong in every p art of it. The fact was, the writ was given to an o ffi cer, named Lee for execution. Lee arrested the defendant, and, while in custody in Chancery-lane, he sent a man named Friend to Bryant, to request his attendance. On Bryant's arrival, the bail were in atte nd ance. Lee said the plaintiff* was a friend of his, and he did not like tooffend him, and therefore begged Bryant to scum the bail. And Spilling (Lee's assistant), who, his affidavit, swore that he cautioned Bryant against taking the bail, was, in fact, the very man who himself mid he bad inquired into the responsibility of the bail, and found one keeping a very large lodging-house in Arundel-street, Strand, and the other tent ing a house above 40/ a year, and by trade a hosier, in Smith street, Westminster, and that they were sufficient men. Bryant made inquiry, and found the bail as stated. He then, at the request of Lee, gave a receipt for the body of the defendant, whole, after accepting the bail he set at liberty. He had acted coasciandously in the discharge of his duty. The men, to all ap at the time their bail was taken, were very sufficient ;an if they failed afterwards, no blame was to be attached to the Aka. BoWst, the Palace Court was a Court for speedy jeodoe, Ind dee, this ono hod stood over since last September, and nothing hod bhp hard of it till now, when a motion, the most extrooodimiy OM booed of, was trade against the officer, who, be (Mr. Bel4•aoloipi, should have been ruled to hove brought in the body_, w itopft be would hare been exonerated.

There must have been gross nerjory somewhere it was clear ; but he should rest on the practice of the Court, and he was confident when the Learned Judge considered it, he would yield to the weight of his affidavits, teat caution, and great caution, had been given.

He would look into the ancient and modem practice of the Conrt, and defer his judgment till Friday nest; the case was one calling for very grave consideration, as it affected all the provinces of the Knight 3larshall, and was certainly of a novel description.
