BANQUET AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS. dient. I believe much good in the proposed direction has been accomplished ; but, as often happens in experi mente, an indirect and unexpected benefit was also the result—namely, the gradual education of the people by means of exhibitions, museums, and schools', in the ap preciation of works of taste ; including, con- equently, a reference to nature, and awakening that aptitude for mental pleasures which is one of the criteria cf advanc ing c;vilisation. (Hear, hear.) The principle is, I believe, now admitted, that if work is to be provided for those who live by toil, their leisure should also be an object of attention. Apart altogether from the question respect ' ing the Sabbath, and with reference only to other periods of cessation from labour, it is felt that the means of rational recreation, reflection, and improvement should be in store for the working man's holiday. That such resources are indirect elements of culture we can no longer doubt. Many in the higher classes—with their powers of thought in grave matters heavily taxed from day to day—can rarely turn to the arts except as to ob jects of momentary amusement or of solace ; but to him whose labour is chiefly of the body, while his men tal powers are inert, a certain exercise of the mind even in his boars of relaxation is a wholesome change. It is partly for this reason that the fine arts are more directly means of instruction with the lower orders than they can be with others ; and for this reason the w orking man, long before he appreciates art for its own sake, readily consents to make a study, in con nection with history, poetry, or science, of that which to many is only an agreeable dilettanteisnr. (Hear, bear.) Far be it from me to undervalue that dilettanteism; far be it froin'tne to wish that enthusiasm to be less. On the contrary, I believe that the progress of con 'noissetthibip and the beat - .floas of living art, developed. and displayed by means of such an - institution as this, are as essential to the effects to which I have referrers as central light is iedispeneable to the remotest red c ti n. (Hear, hear.) It is to many in this assembly, and to many more whom this assembly represents, that the advantages which I have noticed are mainly to be ascribed. Our acknowledgments -are due to all those who, by the interest which they take in such pureuite, or by direct to - couraeerrieot, have contributed to that diffusion el love of art which in its censequercee may be regarded as a national benefit. (Cheers.) The Pre iddent, concluded by giving the health of the guests, winch was drunk with the usual honours. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—My Levis and gentlemen, —I wish it had fallen to the let of some worthier guest to acknowledge the compliment which you have jest to kindly paid, because I feel there is probably not one of those who have shared in the present honour with me who is not more competent and better entitled to un dertake this duty than I am. The greater part of my life has been spent in severer studies, which have wholly prevented the cultivation of a taste for those arts which refine and adorn society, and I can therefore offer only the tribute of an unenlightened admiration. But, etrarger as I comparatively am to puruits cf a lighter kind, I have always censidereel it cue of the privileges of offietal life—of which, however, I have not had fre queot experience—(s laugh)—to attend the great Annual festival of the arts, at which, in the company of the most distinguished artists of the day, and surrounded by the triumph of their genius, all our senses are at once gratified,—our hearing by instructive and agreeable dis course, our taste by the generous hospitality we enjoy —(1 laugh)—and our eyes by the splendid works which are diplayed before its. (Hear.) The opening of the Royal Acadarny is au event which is lo ked forward to with great. interest and anxious expectation by the whole of London. At the earliest opportunity the pub lic swarm numberless for the purpose of seeing dis played before them the result of the thought, the taste, the imagination, and the skill which have been labouring in secret for many months before fur the honour and glary of the nation. Nor are they doomed to be disappointed in their expectations. Year after year the stores of genius are presented to their gaze; they see them in various productions of historical illustration, of creative imagination, of imitation of nature, and of that which I may call the interesting and domestic branch of the art, by which those features which are dear to us are preserved, and, by a fortunate inspiration catching the happiest expression of the moment, are transferred im perishably to the cancan , . (Cheers.) Gazing upon the splendid works we see immediately before us, and recol lecting those of the other department of the arts,— " Where Sculpture with her rainbow sister lies"— we may venture to say with pride that our national taste Las not degenerated, nor is otfr national genius on the wane. (Hear.) Indeed, ther? is no country in the world which can produce such admirable specimens cf living genius as we have the happiness now to behold. (Hear.) I am sure that our distinguished friends, the foreign Mi nisters who are near me, will pardon me this expression of national prig e, and will even feel eympathy with a sen timent which% tbie basis of that generous rivalq in which nations may enter upon a field of contest in which all - the victories are bloodless, all the triumphs without a stain. (Ceeera.) I believe it is the duty as well as the interest of a nation to cultivate and encourage the fine arts to the utmost; and there is nothing which will tend to foster talent or encourage genius more than the continuance of that which from my heart I sincerely desire, and which I no at call upon you all to join with me in drinking— viz., " Prosperity to the Royal Academy." (Cheers.) The toast was received with great cordiality. The PRESIDENT then said—My lords and gentlemen, I beg leave, on the part of the members of the Royal Academy and on my own, to return our respectful thanks for the honour you have done us. I beg also to express our acknowledgments to his lSrdship for the mannEr in which ho has been pleased to introduce and recommend the toast. (Cheers.) In speaking of the efforts that are being made to render art subservient on the one hand to commercial prosperity, and on the other to educa tional purposes, it appeared to me unnecessary to dwell on their higher r, cemmendatione. That part of the sub ject has, however, been eloquently taken up by his lord• ship, who bat spoken of the fine arts as their best frit nds could wish, and of the present exhibition in a manner calculated to encourage and stimnlate all those who hate contributed to its attractions. (Hear ) With regad this institution, aiming as it does, whatever be its prac tical shortcominge, at the highest development of art, the chief regret of its members has been, and is, that want of space which renders it impossible to do justice to all the exhibitors en these occasions. Attractive as this exhibition is said to be, it might, I believe, have been more so bad an additional room been at our disposal, while a far more important object would have been at tained by the display—or, at all events, the better dis play—of m any works of great ability, and the preven tion of disappointment of their meritorious authors. (Hear) But if we cannot at present indulge a hope that our domain may be enlarged, it is at least reasonable to expect that we shall not be unfairly molested where we are, (Ileac, and a laugh.) While it is complained, justly or unjustly, that every institution is constantly making increased demands on the financ-s of the coun try; the Royal Academy, with the Exception of its occu pation of these walls—the equivalent for its original local habitation, and for which it is admitted that it makes a fully adequate return—bas, from its founda tion, sever received from the Government a single grant —(cheers)—on the contrary, its members, in their private capacity, have often bequeathed their bard earnings and the result of theirlabours to the public; Bourgeois, Selene, Turner, Cbantrey, are instances to illustrate the truth of this remark. (Hear.) Let not, then, the economy of this institution be imputed to it, especially in these times, as a demerit ; ncr the fact, with all its gratifying infer ences, that during the existence of this institution, for nearly a century, it has received the unvarying moral support of every Administration, and the unceasing fa vour of the Throne. (Cheers.) I now beg to propose as the next toast the health of her Majesty's Ministers; and I take the opportunity of observing that the first occa sion when the advancement of the Fine Atts was noticed ' as an object worthy of attention in a speech from the Sovereign in Parliament was during the Administration of the E arl of Derby, in 1852. (Hear, hear.) I have the honour to propose "The Health of Her Majesty's Ministers." The toast was greeted with loud applause. The Earl of DERBY—My Lords, Mr. President, and gentlemen, in the name of my colleagues and myself allow me to return you my grateful thanks for the honour which you have done us in drinking our healthy. I thank you, sir, for the manner in which you have phi to us this personal tribute of your regard and goodwill. I say this personal trieute, because, on an occasion like the present, surrounded by men of all opinions and of every political denomination, here in an assembly, in which even for a abort time we can breathe the air untainted by the breath of political strife, it would be absurd and ridi culous if I were to attempt to connect with the toast just given any, the slightest, political significance. (Hear.) We accept it, gentlemen, as I am sure you mean it, as an expression of that kind and generous feeling with which every body of Englishmen regard those, whatever their opinions, who to the best of their ability nod judg • went are devoting their time, attention, and labour to what they conceive to be the public interest. (Cheers.) My noble friend the Lord Chancellor has said, it is one f the privileges of office to be admitted to participate in anniversaries like the present ; but, unfortunately, 1 can say for myself at least, and probably for all who have had FO short a period in which to familiarise them selves with the labours of office, it is also one dim penalties that we have not at commaud that leisure which would enab e us to avail ourselves of those advantages, and unhappily I may Fay, for myself, that both yester day and to-day my en time was soentirely engrossed by pubic engagements that it was only a few moments before we sat down to dinner that I ''a- able to enter these ro oms, and that, beyond running hastily through them, and having pointed out to me by sosee of my friends tii.% grea t e st ornaments in your Ilection, which you a b ,w t forgive me if I do not venture to specify — d 0 in.o jgo./ar,d have had any opportunity of obeerving,.cbwier!a:a, our appreciating those triumphs f art by t rounded. (Cheers) But among the fewvifbto which nay at. for he, too, was a most distinguished ornament to his profession—sometimes indicate outwardly their fitness for deeds of daring ; or, as in the instance of Sir Henry Havelock, the highest military reputation and the steps which lead to it may be compatible with a life of ra tional study, of order, and of devotedness to the highest duties. (Hear, hear.) Recurring to that former war to which I have alluded, the achievements of which were commensurate with the magnitude and difficulty of the operations, I need not remind you—and yet it is a plea sure to remind you—that the earlier triumphs of that, war were shared by an illustrious prince who now honours us with his presence. His Royal High ness's name will be remembered with those who were prominent in the dangers and successes of some of the most arduous conflicts which this age has seen ; nor will it ever be forgotten that his Royal Highness's sympathy, humanity, and considerate arrangements endeared him, as they still endear him, to every soldier under his com mand. (Loud cheers.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was received with loud cheers, said, --My lords and gentlemen,—l rise to re spond, on behalf of the army, to the toast which has just been offered to you in such handsome terms by your President ; and in doing so I can assure you that to me it is a source of the greatest pride and satisfaction to feel that the army is at this moment meriting the good opinion of the nation, which is, indeed, at all times happy and willing to appreciate its -services. (Cheers.) Believe me, the army is always gratified, when absent on duty in a foreign land, to know thaiethe country is not insensible to the sacrifices and hardihips which it has to 'endure: 'fio - befeinember4 isitcefur gatherings like, this is to us at home as well as to those of us at a d►stance at once a solace and a pride. If ever there was a time at which the services of the army were highly appreciated by the country 1 believe that time is the present; and all I can say is that when ever called upon in period 3 f emtrgency the army will perform its duty conscientiously and in a manner of which the nation will ❑ever have cause to !se ashamed. (Cheers.) Allusion has been made to the campaigns in the Crimea ; but it would ill become ►ee to refer to any services of mine, except to say that I feel proud in having shared in at least some psi don of those operations. And I should be very ungrateful, indeed, if I did not express to you that all the went which has been a,cribed to me is due to those who series under me and with me. I only bore a part with them in their exploits, and, as one of the generals employed in the late war, it is only just to those who were engaged under me that 1 should pay to them the tribute wLich has now been accorded to myself. (Cheers.) As regards the duty which the army is now discharging, nobody, I think, will refuse to admit that the able and admirable manner in which my gallant and distinguished friend Sir Colin Campbe:l has conducted his operations in India is deserving of the highest praise. (Cheers.) I do believe that there never was an officer—not even excepting some cf the greatest captains of the age, who has exhibited more military talent than the Commander- MR. and MRS.

(Hear, hear.) I shall, however, ever think with pride and pleasure of my name baying been. mentioned from that chair, always connecting it:with the person who first sat in it. You, sir, know Whence ..r he came, and we, gentlemen, are all aware that the knight of Plymouth has not left theknight of Plymouth - behind him. (Cheers.) Sir Joshua Reynolds:was one of the most delightful of men, and to have been well spoken of from his chair is one of the greatest gratifica tions I could experience. (Hear, bear.) The men of my profession have long been connected with painters. I myself have bad the happiness to number several awl g the dearest friends of my life. You yourself, sir, have mentioned that Goldsmith always attended these anni versaries ; and I understand that Johnson too was pre sent in the very last year of his life. Despite the short- • !oessof his breath, he delighted, to vralk, -- up the tont stairs of thwaoiai ifiAw innai, Ntd-eit at the - feast of ,ft v 0 Qt Sir Jbahis.

(Hear, hear. So far ifs I. have been able to form, I can hardly say an opinion, from: the transient glimp4 which, as I have been able to obtain, it fully confirmed the report made to me by those more for tunate than myself, in having their time at their disposal, that the present collection may fairly vie with any of those which of late years have preceded it. (Cheers.) There was, however, one consolation which I promised myself in attending this banquet. I thought that . I . should have heed free for two hours at least from the im portunity of those requests which, sometimes in a milder sometimes in a more pressing tone, are urged upon the attention of the members of a Government.

You, sir, in the most persuasive tones and with mo-t flattering allusions to whet took place on former occasions, have hinted your confidence that Government would not be deaf to the claims of art ; you have inti mated that, great as are the services which the Royal Academy bas rendered to the country, and which I cheerfully acknowledge, they might be greater still if you enjoyed greater accommodation. " 0 si angelus ills, Proximus accedat." . (Laughter.)

(Cheers end le ughtece} —Asiositee4elsep4opeempiliaike for recorling that the first speech from - the Throne which ed verted to the improvement of the fine arts as an ob ject of public interest was one which I had the honour of advising the Sovereign to deliver in 1852. Sir, that also reminds me that in those days, when we w i re green in office—(laughter)—my tight hon. friend who then, as now, was Chancel l or of the Excheqt er, expree€el at one of these anuiv,rsary festivals, notoul , his hope and wish but also—deluded mortal I —(laughter)--his sanguine expectation that the next year would see the Royal Aca demy and the National Gallery united in a much im proved situation.

(Cheers and laughter.) With this experience I shall not repeat the errors ef my right hon. friend ; but I have this consola tion, that at least you will not think the present Go vernment lose attentive than its predeceesors—(laughter) and that, if we have net the good fortune to be re teemed a Govern= n% of progress, at all events we shall toat be considered one of reaction. (Cheersand laughter.) But, to speak seriously, I hold it to be one of the main objects of a Governs eat to promote the interests of the flee arts—l hold that, to be an object of high national importance ; and o far as the Chancellor of the Exche quer and the House of Commons will allow nie, I shal: have the greatest pleasure in c.eatributting to their ad vancemet tto the utmost of my power. (Cheers.) The noble earl concluded by repeating his acknowledgment for the toast. The PRESlDENT—Gentlemen, —The second leaf of our eatalogueshows chat the Royal Academy has its honorary members. Tho.e time-honoured offices date from the foundation of the institution and have been filled by dis tinguished names—from Goldsmith to Walter Scott, and from Gibbon to Lori Macaulay. The honorary office of chaplain to the Royal Academy having been vacant by the decease of our repp.cted Bishop Blomfiel I, the Bishop of Oxford was invited to undettake that office, and having been pleased to acclit it his lordship appears here to-day no loug , r as a guest but in his privileged capacity. (Cheers.) In making this aunounceinent I have to congratulate the members of the Royal Academy on the acces,ion to their liA of honorary members of an enlightened friend of art, who, I have reason to think, takes a warm interest in the w&fare of this institution. (Cheers.) The Bishop of OXFORD—My lords and gentlemen, I beg to return you my very hearty thanks for the honour you have thought fit to do me in acacciating me as an honorary member with this institution. I can assure you, sir, and your company, as well as your fellows to day; that I esteem it a very high honour and a great privilege to be connected by your choice with British art, and that not only because of my own great love for it and delight in its tvorle, not only because I thank fully acknowledge before you and your brethren of this institution the great debt which, in the education of my own mind, I have personally cintracted to those enno bling arts ; but because I believe also that that Holy re ligion whose officer in this land I am is hound by indis soluble bonds with yoeir pursuits. ',(Cheers.) Not only does the art of painting owe its rebirth among us to the influence of the Christain faith—not only did it find its earliest subjects in the catalogue of its objects of be lief, but even down to the present eay it is the high tone which the Christian religion maintains among us which opens the eye of many to understand nature around them, which accus'oms them also to Gornto . ° bend that conscietitieuenees and labour in dealing with their subjects are essential to their success, and that, theretore, there is a union between us ; tba . you give and receive ; that you receive from Christianity, and that in turn you render back to our great work ; that you hslp us in unnum bered ways in our special vocation in raising the ton and temp-r of the people of this land ; that you are fel. low-labiurers with us from the very highest rank of society down to the very lowe,t.

I heartily rejoice as a Bishop of the Church of England, to have been honoured by you with that distinction in virtue of whieli I have troubl-d you with these imperfect remarks. (Cheers ) The PRESlDENT—Gentlemen, —During the last session *of Parliament some important observa , ions were made in the House of Lords reepectini the Turner bequest. As I hal subsequently the opportunity of offering some explanations to my Lord St. Leonards • with regard to the Royal Academy as concerned in that bequest, I need I not recur to that part of the subjec+, more especially as the arrangements of the Academy in reference to it are not yet completed. But on the part of the friends of Turner, including, I need hardly say, every member of this institution, I beg to thank his lordship for his ad vocacy of the cairns of Turner, in recommending that a suitable place should in due time be provided for the noble gift which the painter bequeathed to the nation. I beg to propose " the health of Lord St. Leonardo." (Cheers.) Lord ST. LEONARD% in returning thanks, observed that the bequest which Turner, after a long life of suc cessful labour, had gathered together and left to his coun try would descend to a grateful and admiring posterity as an inestimable legacy. He agreed with their excel lent president, that the nation owed a debt to the Royal Academy. If they looked at the Turner col lection in the mere light of its pecuniary value, they must feel that the collection, envied as it was by foreign nations, and placing Ode country, as it did, in the highest rank in Europe for the cultivation of art, was a treasure the worth of which could hardly be calculated in money. Let any man visit Marlboreugh-house and gaze on the productions of Turner's glorious geeing which were now displayed there to the greatest advan tage that the capacity of the building would allow, and he would naturally ask himself whence did the country derive such a precious legacy ? It had been derived from the splendid talent, the untiring industry, and the patriotic self-devotion of a member of the Royal Aca demy. The country, then, owed it to the institution to which he belonged to make a suitable return in patron age and in money's worth for the invaluable gift which he had bestowed upon it. The finest building that could be found would be but a poor acknowledgment for the munificence of a Turner, and other nations would be glad to place his bequest, if they porseesed it, in a fitting receptacle. So great was Turner's public spirit, when he had painted a picture which be thought worthy of the nation, and with which the nation had become familiar, he resisted all a tempo to buy it. He was willing, indeed, to produce a triff re, t picture, but no thing could induce him to part with the first. So rich was his genius that his mere drawings and pencillings were perfect models for the student. Indeed, it bad been wittily remarked of Turner that, although a great artist, there was one thing, and only one, which he could not draw, — viz. , his own will. (Laughter Turner's testamentary dispositions have given is to _r • lei little dispute as to their meaning ; and he ( 1 :i Leonard , ) had laboured long to construe Tarr. 6 , 12 ; e it but his labour had been in v a in.

It was attended with befitting pomp and circumstance. Ministers cf State, legislators, chiefs of the army and navy, dignitaries of the Church, the judicial bench, the representatives of literature, science, commerce, and manufactures, all assembled on the occasion to pay their common tribute of homage to art in its own chosen temple. The doors of the Academy were thrown open to the guests of the institution at 2 o'clock, and soon after that early hour a very distinguished company, which received continual accessions to its numbers, arrived to avail themselves of their enviable privilege. As the afternoon wore on the rooms appropriated to paintings and scalp tore were comfortably filled, and many separate groups of eminent statesmen, ecclesiastics, and warriors could be seen engaged in lively converse on the merits of the various works which challenged their criticism. The dinner commenced at 6 o'clock, Sir Charles East lake, the president of the institution, occupying the chair. It took place in the East-room, the walla of which were literally covered with the newest and most fascinating specimens of the painters' art. The aspect of the Ban quet-hall, thus characteristically decorated, and filled to its utmost capacity with an imposing array of distin guished and delighted guests, was brilliant in. the ex . teettle .; • but the splendour of the scene teacheelith dinner when, "the health of her Majesty" having been given, the singing of the National Anthem by the vocalists was the signal for the turning on of a perfect blaze of gas from 100 jets in the ceiling. This transformation, which from its suddenness appeared quite magical, was for a time a little overpowering ; but when the dazzling effect of the first surprise had subsided the pictorial embellishments of the hall, radiant with the richest colours and set in the freshest of gilding, were exhibited to the most wonderful advantage. Among the guests were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, his Excellency Baron de Cato, the Duke f Newcastle,. the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of North umberland, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Warwick, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Stanley, Lord J. Manners, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, SirJ. Pakington, Mr. Walpole, Lord Censer eon, Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Lord Gran worth, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord Palmerston, the Master of the Rolls, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Carlisle, Earl Granville, Lord Sr. Leonard., Lord J.

Drummond, M.P., Professor Faraday, Mr. Alderman Salotnone, the Presidents of the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, Mr. C. Dickens, and Mr. Thackeray. The PRESIDENT rose and said—My Lords and gentle men,—The first toast which it is my privilege to propose is the health of her Majesty the Queen, the gracious patron of this institution. (Cheers.) I have great satis faction in stating that her Majesty, having recently honoured these rooms with her presence, was pleased on that occasion to express her marked approbation with regard to the merit and interesting character of the productions this year submitted to her inspection. (Hear.) Gentlemen, I give you "the health of her Majesty the Queen." The toast was received with the usual demonstrations of loyalty. The PRESIDENT—The toast which I have next the honour to propose is "the health of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort." (Cheers.) A desire to promote educatioial and commercial objects, including those which the fine arts can directly or indirectly assist, has more than once prompted his Royal Highness the Prince t)onsort to co-operate in important undertakings con nected with the advancement of those interests—under• takings which have been attended with the most satis factory results. The exhibition of works of art at Man chester, although a past event, is too fresh in our recol lection to permit us to overlook the fact that, like its great original in 1851, it received, from the first, the most cordial support from his Royal Highness. (Hear, hear.) Such enterprises, from their public nature, and from their useful and comprehensive effects, have only to be named to awaken a feeling of respect towards their enlightened promoter. Public experience will also respond to expressions of acknowledgment for the humane assistance which his Royal Highness is ever ready to extend to well-conducted, benevolent, and cha ritable schemes. But with regard to the fine arts—the subject to which lam chiefly privileged to allude—l may observe that his Royal Highness's thorough acquain tance with every branch of those arts can be known to those only who have intimate opportunities of observa tion. (Hear, bear.) Many an individual votary of art bears witness to that consummate critical knowledge which his Royal Highness can always render compatible with the most encouraging kindness, and to a love of excellence ever accompa nied by indulgent liberality. 'Cheers.) (The President then gave the toast, which was drunk with much coidiality.) The PRESIDENT, in proposing "the health o f his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," observed,—Tile interest with which the people of this country have been accustoed to re gard the family of our gracious Queenmmembers and her the illustrious Conscrt will long acco m p an y of that Royal circle in their future career. How strongly, how touchingly that interest was ma nifested on the oc casion, in the early part of this year, of the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Frederick William of Prussia will be remembered and felt by all. (Hear, hear.) His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales ap proaches manhood endowed with a nation's attachment —that best guarantee for a noble return in public duties fulfilled, in public benefits conferred, and in the silent influence of private virtues—qualities which his Royal Highness has, from hie earliest years, witnessed and learnt to revere in the example of his illustrious NO MORE FILLS NOR. ANY OTHER MEDICINL parents. (Cheers.) In proposing the health of his Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Constipation, Flatulency, Phlegm, Nc Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and that of the vonsness, Biliotuness, Liver Complaints, Hysteria, Neuralgj a, rest of the Royal family I beg to call your remembrance aleereessne.ss, Acidity, Palpitation, Heartbui a, Eruptions. het. purities, Irritability, Lou Spirits, Diarrhoea, Hemorrhoid s, that title, the Ist of May, is the birthday of his Royal Headache, Debility, Despondency, Cramps, Spasms, Nausea, ariC Highness Prince Arthur, as it was also the birthday Setness (during pregnancy or at sea), Sinking Fits , Coug' Asthma, Bronchitis.

I know that the feeling of my gallant friend towards his treops is that their behaviour has been most gratifying t him ; and in saying this I am sure it will be understood that that behaviour must have been of an order worthy of this nation. (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, in an assembly like this, met to do especial honour to the arts of peace, I fear that theme allusions to the arts r f war may be thought out e.f place. Yet, in order that we may con tteue in the uninterrupted enjoyment of the luxuries and refinements with whoa we are permitted to regale oar selves to-night, my advice to you gentlemen is, " Pray don't forget the army ; but maintain it in such a state that we may never find ourselves in less agreeable society than we do at present." (Cheers and laughter.) I am sorry that I cannot claim for myself the merit of being in any respect an artist. When I was a little boy io b n u s t that regret I should t t h u a r tn, like y days to think the study ver y troublesome, and attention d h t s e o r w t y h e a e r :o f t v g n e e r y a r atsn people, I was sorry enough in those x ; accordingly did not make the progress which my guardians had at heart. (A. laugh.) The cons' sequence is that I now stand before you extremely ignorant of refined pursuits. I hope, however, that I can appreciate 'them to some - humble extent, though my taste may be But imperfectly tutored ; and as far as my cursory observation of what you have achieved goes I think I may congratulate this assembly on the scene presented by these wells. (Cheers.) My praise, as I have already intimated, may he of little worth, for I have no pretensions to be an artist ; but hav ing lived a good deal in the world, and seen many picture galleries, not in England alone, but in various parts of Europe, and having inspected the colletitions exhibited year by year in this metropolis, I take leave to congratu late you en the success of this year's exeitinne. I often hear it stated that soldiers are not fond of science or of art; but lam glad to say that this is a mistake. I be lieve that among :he members of my profession, there is a genuine appreciation of your productions; and I trust that we are not the worse sabreurs on ttat account. (Cheers and a laugh.) The army admires art as warmly as any other class, and its authorities are willing and anxious to promote all those peaceful purmits which, as your president hasijustly observed, do not at at. interfere with the duties of a military man. (Hear, hear) Gen tlemen, I am happy to Dave this opportunity of assuring you that, as far as my humble efforts extend, and con sistently with keeping the army efficient for the aelunus and onerous duties intrusted to it, we shall not tlink it beneath us to direct our attention to those peaceful and agreeable pursuits the triumphs of which we havenow the pleasure of beholding. (Cheers.) Sir J. PAIOINOTON—My lords and gentlemen,—invir tue of the office which I have the honour to hold, the duty devolves on me of acknowledging the compliment you have been pleased to pay to that noble service with which I esteem it a high privilege to be officialy connected ; and though the gratifying scene which aov surrounds us, as his Royal Highness has reminded us, is rather the result of peaceful than of warlike arts, I am sure I may say for the enlightened officers of the navy that they share largely in the pride we all feel in everything, whe ther it relates to peace or war, which tends to promote the improvement or raise the reputation of our country. Adverting to the reference which you, sir, were pleased to make to the services of the Royal navy, I may be allowed to observe that, though the struggles in which we have lately been engaged have not been such as to lead to great naval actions, the gallant conduct of our naval forces on shore, headed as they have so admirably been by the c:allant Sir Wm. Peel—(cheers)—and the other officers serving in the same brigade, are a proof— if proof were needed —that the navy is as able sad wil ling at this moment as it ever was to render efficiett ser vice to its country. (Cheers.) The PRESIDEAT—The toast which I have next to in troduce to your notice is "The Health of the Foreign Ministers" who on this occasion honour .1.13 with tleir presence. (Hear.) In proposing this toast I have still to express a hope that the time may come when, with in creased local accommodation, we can safely invite foreign contributors to add to the attractions of our exhibitions (Hear.) At the present those foreign artists, knowing that the space at our command is insufficient even for our own exhibitors, are reluctant to add to our difficul ties by sending to us their works; Among the few speci mens by foreign artists which the present Exhibition contains I may' mention a work of great merit by a lady of Copenhagen, Madame Jerichau. The toast was received with much applause, and was briefly acknowledged by the Baron de Cetto, the Bava- rian Minister. The PRESIDENT then rose and said—Gentlemen of the Royal Academy, the toast which I have now to propose is "The Health of the Noblemen and Gentlemen who I state only this day honour the Academy (Cheers.)with their presence." chat is generally felt when I say that the present relation of the fine arts to society important than it has been peculiarity of that rela e rmsists in the still gro wing influence of the fine arts of the p eo p l e at large. I need not endea vour to trace the steps by which that influence has be come remarkable ; but, whatever may be the moans and operations by which the effect is being produced, there can be no doubt that the chief cause has been the warm interest which bus been taken in the subject by en lightened amateurs, such as those to whom we now desire to express our acknowledgments. (Cheers.) The higher interests of art—by which I understand the en couragement of its best eff,rt,l, and the appreciation cf is best prodoctions—may be considered to he safely identified with the intellectual wants of cultivated people.

On Saturday last, at the Bradford Courthouse, Mr. Thomas Booth, woolstapler and top-maker, of Windh 11, neer Shipley, was charged before the mayor with stealing " one original sample sliver of mohair tops." Mr. Tarty, solicitor, on the part of the prosecutor, Mr. Jonathan William Anderton, commission merchant and dealer in wool tops and yarns, at Bradford, said, he much regretted that he had to appear against a person in Mr. Booth's posi tion of life to prefer such a charge as that which ' was stated in the summons ; but if he succeeded, as he believed he should, in establishing a prima facie care of felony against the prisoner, it would be the duty of the bench to commit him for trial, leaving a j❑ry to decide as to whether he had taken posses sion of the property in question bona fide, believ ing that he h ,d a right to do so, or what the intent was. After citing several cases somewhat eimilar to the present, in which juries had convicted and judges had confirmed convicions, Mr. Terry pro ceeled to call evidence, from which it appeared that on Thursday, the 22d ult., Mr. Colefax, mana ger for the prosecutor, purchased from the prisoner, on Mr. Anderton's accoont, 1,000 lb. weight of No. 6 mohair tops, worth about 4s. per pound, and similar to a sample that had been received from the prisoner the day before. On Monday morning last a bag of tops, weighing from 200 lb. to 300 lb., was received at the prosecutor's warehouse, having keen sent by prisoner on account of the contract. On comparing these tops with the sample Mr. Cole fax found they were interior in quality and colour, and forthwith wrote to the prisoner a note, of ---- which the following is a copy : " Piece Hall-yard, Bradford, April 26, 1858. " tops you have delivered are inferior in colour and quality to your sample by which they were sold, and they cannot be taken to account ; they lie here waiting your instructions for disposal, and I must re quest immediate fulfilment of the order with proper quality. " (P. pro. J. W. Anderton.) J. S. COLLFAX. "Mr. Thomas Booth." Oa Wednesday morning Mr. Booit called at the prosecutor's warehouse, and Mr. Colefax showed him the original sample sliver, and also a sliver out of the tops delivered. He asked Mr. Colefax if he could see any difference between the two, and, upon the lager observing that there was a great difference in colour and quality, the prisoner rolled the two slivers up together, and said he would send no more tops if those which had been sent were returned. He then put the two samples into his pocket and went away. He was cautioned against taking away the original sample, as that was the basis of the transaction, but he refused to leave it, saying that Mr. Anderton had not paid for it, and it was not his. In cross-examination by Mr. Lees, solicitor, who appeared for the pri- I n oe w h s oner, Mr. Colefax said that on Tuesda y mornin g that the letter the last the prisoner went to t he p rosecutor's ware house with the letter, of which a copy is given above, and asked what it m itsilffi c o it :i iit the l Yex c p ou la t i i lli te e r and d i elf, ei4 went n • nt He which away.as e told leftTo Court Mr. Booth said, " When I took away the slivers I comiderei them my own property, the bargain having been annulled by the letter I re ceived from Mr. Anderton." The Mayor, after hearing the evidence, said it was his painful duty to send the case for trial at the sessions. Bail was accepted for Mr. Booth's appearance to take his trial.

Not merely in its remedial, but in its preserva tive capacity, as a protector, as well as a restorer of health, its efficiency is attested by the grateful evidence of those who have had experience in propria, persona.--The cir cumstances brought to light in connection with its use as food for infants, show tuat whilst it prolongs the lives of thousands of adults, it is calculated to cause many to reach maturity who would otherwise perish in early childhood.
