London, Euston-station, Sept. 22,1858. had declined during his tenure of office ; but such a supposition would have been disproved by the valuable and important reports which had been presented to the general committee. (Hear, hear.) It only remained for him to return thanks for the kind consideration which he had received from the present officers of the association, as well as from every member with whom it was his duty to -, !o-operate, and to resign the chair to one whose name would add lustre even to the British Associa tion, and whose high talents would no doubt be de voted to the advancement of its interests, and to the promotion of the objects for which it was founded. Professor OWEN, who was received with loud applause, then proceeded to read his inaugural ad dress, a very prolix document, which occupied full three hours in its delivery. He commenced by say ing, —We are here met, in this 0117 28th annual as sembly, having accepted, for the present year, the invitation of the flourishing town and firin seat of British manufacturing energy, Leeds, to continue the aim of the Association, which is the promotion of science, or the knowledge of the laws of nature ; whereby we acquire a dominion over nature, and are thereby able so to apply her powers as to ad vance the wellbeing of society and exalt the condi JJJ - tion of mankind. It is no light matter, therefore, the work that' we are here assembled to do. God has given to man a capacity to discover and compre hend the laws by which His universe is governed ; and man is impelled by a healthy and natural im pulse to exercise the faculties by which that know ledge can be acquired. Agreeably with the relations which have been illstituted between our finite facul ties and the phenomena that affect them, we arrive at demonstrations and convictions which are the most certain that our present state of being can have or act upon. Nor let any one, against whose prepossessions a scientific truth may jar, confound such demonstrations with the speculative philoso phies condemned by the' apostle,---ascribe to arro gant intellect soaring to regions of forbidden mys teries the acquisition of such truths as have been or may be established by patent and inductive re search. Fin. the most part the discoverer has been so placed by . circumstances, rather than by prede termined choice, as to have his work of investiga tion allotted to him as his daily duty, in the ful filment of which he is brought face to face with phenomena into which he must inquire, and the re• salt of that inquiry he must faithfully impart. The progress of natural as of moral truth has been and is progressive ; but it has pleased the author of all truth to vary the fashion of the imparting of such parcels thereof as he has allotted, from time to time, for the behoof and guidance of mankind. Those who are privileged with the faculties of discovery are therefore to be regarded as pre-ordained instru ments in making known the power of God, with out a knowledge of which, as well as of Scripture, we are told that we shall err. Great and marvellous have been the manifestations of this power im parted to us of late 'years, not only in respect of the shape, motions, and solar relations of the earth, but also of its age and its inhabitants. In regard to the period during . which the globe allotted to man has revolved in its orbit, present evidence strains the mind to grasp such sum of past time with an effort like that by which it tries to realise the space dividing that orbit from the fixed stars and remoter nebulie. Yet, during all those writs that have passed since the Cambrian rocks were deposited which bear the impressed record of crea tive power, as it was then manifested, we know, through the interpreters of these " writings on stone," that the earth was vivified by the sun's light and heat, was fertilised by refreshing showers, and - washed by tidal waves. No stagna tion has been permitted to air or ocean. The vast body of waters not only moved, as a whole, in or derly oscillations, regulated, as now, by sun and moon, but were rippled and agitated by winds and storms. The atmosphere was healthily influenced by its horizontal currents, and by ever-varying clouds and vapours, rising, condensing, diss o l v i ng , and falling in endless vertical circulation. With these conditions of life, we know that life itself has been enjoyed throughout the same countless thou sands of years; and that with life, from the begin ning, there has been death. The earliest testimony of a living thing, whether shell, crust, or coral, in the oldest fossiliferous rock, is at the same time proof that it died. At no period has the gift of life been monopolised by a few contemporary lndlvl duals through a stagnant sameness of untold time ; but it has been handed over from generation to generation, and suceessfullyenjoycd by the myriads that constitute the species. And herein we discern the greater beneficence and wisdom; that through death, whether sudden or preceded by a brief decay, the individual enjoys the various phases of life—healthy, assimilative growth, active youth, and vigorous maturity, with the procreative facul ties and instincts to boot—and as life rises in the scale, even to the present highest form, foreknow ing of his end, death is still the condition on which are enjoyed man's purest pleasures--the reveren tial love of parents—the holy affections of wedlock —the fond yearning towards offspring. (Applause.) It has further been given us to know, that not only the individual but the species perishes ; that as death is balanced by generation, so exti nc ti on h as been concomitant with creative power, which has continued to provide a succession of species ; and furthermore, that as regard s the vary i ng f orms o f life which this planet hath witnessed, there has been "an advance and- progress in the main," Gosology demonstrates that the creative force has not. deserted this earth during any of her epochs of time ; and that in respect to no one class of animals has the manifestation of that force been limited to one epoch. Not a fish that now lives but has come into being during a comparatively recent period ; the existing species were preceded by other species, and these again by others still more different from the present. No existing genus of fishes can be traced beyond a moiety of known creative time. So the creation of every class of animals, reptiles, birds, or beasts, has been succes sive and continuous, from the earliest times at which we have evidence of their existence ; crea tion ever compensating for extinction. Such is a brief summary of facts most nearly interesting us which have been demonstratively made known re specting our earth and its inhabitants ; and when we reflect at how late and in how brief a period of historical time the acquisition of such knowledge has been permitted, we must feel that, vast as it seems, it may be but a very small part of the patri mony of truth destined for the possession of future generations. The President observed that review ing the proceedings, aims, and objects of the British Association during the last 27 years was like rea lising the grand philosophical dream or pre-figura tive vision of Francis Bacon, recounted in his " New Atlantes," in which, for instance, certain, members of the " six days' college" were deputed as " mer chants of light," to make " circuits or visits of divers principal cities of the kingdom." The observa tories, Royal and other scientific societies, British Museum, 2oological, Botanical, and Horticultural gardens, now combine to realise what Bacon fore saw in distant perspective. The universal law of gravitation, the circulation of the blood, the analo gous course of the magnetic influence, the develop ment and progress of chemistry, geology, and palaeontology ; the invention and practical appli cation of gas, the steam-engine, photography, telegraphy—such, in the few centuries since Bacon wrote, have been the rewards of the faithful followers of his rules of research. Dr. Owen then commenced his survey of the recent progress in the various kingdoms of science, with astro nomy and the physical sciences, touching suc cessfully on the laws of motion, gravitation, and light ; and he observed that in Bacon's time some of the natural sciences had not germinated. Chymistry was then alchymy ; geology and palmon tology were undreamt of ; while ma gne t ism and electricity had begun to be observed, and their phenomena comprehended and defined. About a century later the phenomena of repulsion as well as of attraction of lightbodies by electric substances were noticed; and Dufay in 1733 enunciated the principle that " electric bodies attract all those that are not so, and repel them as soon as they are become electric by the vicinity of the electric body." (Applause.) Passing on to the discoveries of elec tricity and mao:netism and the progress of the know l.:‘ 4t of their operations and law, lie sa id_m, s , estimable predecessor adverted last year to the fact that it was in the committee rooms of the British Association that the first step was taken towards that great magnetic organisation which has since borne so much fruit. Thereby it has been deter mined that there are periodical changes of the mag netic elements depending on the hour of the day, the 1 season of the year, and on intervals of about ten years. Also, that besides these regular changes there were others of a more abrupt and seemingly irregular character Humboldt's " magnetic storms"—which occur simultaneously at distant parts of the earth's surface. M ijor-General Sabine, than whom no one has done more in this field of research since Halley first attempted "to explain the change in the variation of the magnetic needle," has proved that the magnetic storms also observe diurnal, annual-and undecennial periods; But with whit phase or phenomenon of earthly or heavenly bodies, it may be asked, has the magnetic period of ICJ years to do ? The coincidence which points to, if it does not give, the answer, is one of the most remarkable, unexpected, and encouraging to patient observers. For 30 years a German astronomer, Schwabe", had set himself the task of daily observing and recording the appearance of the sun's disc ; in which time he found that the spots passed through periodic phases of increase and decrease, the length of the period being about 10 years. A comparison of the independent evidence of the astronomer and magnetic observer has shown that the decennial magnetic period coincides both in its duration and in its epochs of maximum and minimum with the same period observed in the solar spots. After re ferring to some further steps in this science, Pro fessor Owen said that the generalisation was estab lished, and with a rapidity unexampled, regard being. had to its greatness, that magnetism and electricity are but different effects of one common cause.- This has proved the first 'step to still grander abstractions, to that which conceives the reduction of all the species of imponderable fluids of the che mistry of our student days, together with gravita tion, chemicity, and neuricity, to interchangeable modes of action of one and the same all-pervading life-essence. Referring to the experiments of Gal vani and Volta, and- what had subsequently been done in the same line, the Professor continued— From the present state of neuro-electricity, it may be concliided that nerve force is not identical with clectric.force, but that it may be an:4 l l-r mod ,, of motion .of the same common force; it- is certainly a polar force, and, perhaps, the highest form of polar force : " A motion which may change, but cannot die An image of some bright eternity." (Applause.) The learned Professor next proceeded to speak of chemistry, and observed that the present tendency of the higher generalisations of chemistry seems to be towards a reduction of the number of those bodies which are called " elementary ;" it begins to be almost more than suspected that certain group,s of so-called chemical elements are but modi fied forms of one another. Already natural pro cesses can be more economically replaced by artifi cial ones in the formation of a few organic com pounds, the " valerianic acid," for example. It is impossible to foresee to what extent chemistry may not ultimately, in the production of things needful, supersede the present vital agencies of nature " by laying under contribution the accumulated forces of past ages, which would thus enable us to obtain in a small manufactory, and in a few days, effects which can be realised from present natural agencies only when they are exerted upon vast areas of land, and through considerable periods of time." (Ap plause.) Since Niepce, Herschell, F ox , T a lb o t , and Daguerre founded photography, year by year some improvement is made—som e advance achieved in this most subtle application and combination in photicity, electricity, chemistry, and magnetism. Last year M. Poiteven's production of plates in re lief, for the purpose of engraving by the action of light alone, was cited as the latest marvel of photo graphy. This year has witnessed photographic printing in carboh by M. Pretschi. Professor Owen continued by alluding to the application of photo graphy for obtaining views of the moon, of the planets, of scientific and other phenomena. After referring to the discoveries in electro-magnetism the lecturer continued—Remote as such profound con ceptions and subtle trains of thought seem to be from the needs of every-day life, the most astound ing of the practical augmentation of man's power has sprung out of them. Nothing might seem less promising of profit than Oersted's painfully pursued experiments, with his little magnets, voltaic pile, and bits of copper wire. Yet out of these has sprung the electric telegraph ! Oersted himself saw such an application of his convertibility of electricity into magnetism ' and made arrange ments for testing that application to the instanta neous communications of signs through distances of a few miles. The resources of inventive genius have made it practicable for all distances, as we have lately seen in the submergence and working of the electro-magnetic cord connecting the Old and the New World of the geographers. (Applause.) On the 6th of August, 1858, the laying down of upwards of 2,000 nautical miles of the telegraphic cord, connecting Newfoundland and Ireland, was successfully completed ; and on that day a message of 31 words was transmitted in 35 minutes along sinuosities of the submerged hills and valleyaform ing the bed of the vast Atlantic. (Applalise.)"This first message expressed " Glory to God in the - .highest ; on earth peace, good-will towards men." Never since the foundations of the world were laid could be more truly said, " The depths of the sea praise Him !" (Applause.) The practic ability of bringing America into electrical com munication with Europe has been demon strated ; consequently a like power of instantaneous interchange of thought between the civilized inhabitants of every part of the globe becomes, in my opinion, only a question of time. The benefits thence to ensue for the human race can be but ina dequately foreseen. Some results stand - out more prominently than others. (Applause.) The strides made in various branches of natural history were next passed in review. Since Bacon's day the chief steps by which natural history had advanced to the dignity of a science are associated with the names of Ray, Linnaeus, Jussieu, Buffon, and Cuvier. By the first tw o th e phenomena - were digested and classified according to artificial, but conveniently applicable methods—of necessity the precursors of systems more expressive of the natural affinities of plants and animals. To perfect the natural system of plants has been the great aim of botanists since Jussieu ; to obtain the same true insight into the relations of animals has stimulated the labours of zoologists since the writings of Cuvier. Three prin ciples (of the common ground of which we may ultimately obtain a clearer insight) are now recog nised to have goVerned the construction of animals —unity of plan, vegetative repetition, and fitness for pm-pose. In maintenance of this proposition the President took a wide range of illustration and proofs from every class of living animal, and related many interesting experiments tending to throw light on the mysteries of organic life. The micro scope and microgcology were passed under notice ; then the President glanced at the geographical dis tribution of plants, with respect to which the stun of the relations rested, he said, on the assumption that each species had been created but once in time and space ; and that its diffusion was the result of the law of reproduction influenced chiefly by tem perature and moisture. Botany, at this phase, be came intimately related to climatology. Observa tions on `the geographical distribution of indigenous plants were generalised by •dividing the horizontal range of vegetation into zones bounded by annual isothermal lines ; by classifying plants according to the regions of altitude; and by classifying them by regions defined by the proportion of plants species peculiar to them. The modes of enun ciating the laws of the geographical dis tribution of marine animals were very analogous to those which had been applied to the vegetable kingdom, which was as diversely developed on land as was the animal kingdom in the sea. Certain horizontal areas or provinces had been characterised by the entire ,assemblage of animals and plants con stituting their population. The same physical con ditions were associated with a certain similarity be tween the animals of different provinces. A second mode of expressing the ascertained facts of the geo graphical distribution of marine animals was by tracts called " Homoizoic belts," bounded by cli matal lines. But the most interesting form of ex pression of the distribution of marine life was that which paralleled the 'perpendicular distribution of plants. Very much remained to be observed by naturalists in different parts of the globe under the guidance of these generalisations. The restrictive laws of geographical distribution seemed least ap plicable to birds, yet, like the plants and marine animals, they were similarly restricted. The laws of geographical distribution, as affecting mamma lian life, had been reduced to great exactness by observations continued since the time of Buffon. The most important extension of this branch of zoology had been due to recent researches and dis coveries of extinct species of the class mammalia. The learned professor then proceeded to remark upon the modifications of zoological ideas which had been produced by palicontology. It would seem that the deeper we penetrated into the earth, or, in other wor&, the further we receded in time, the more completely wei e we n: l 3selved from the present laws of geographical distribution. The considera tions arising from the modifications of geographical distribution of particulor forms or groups of animals warned us how inadequate must be the phenomena connected with the present distribution of land and sea to guide to the determination of the primary ontological divisions of the earth's, surface. But might they not, in aiming to define the primary zoological province of the globe, be trenching upon a province of knowledge beyond the present capaci ties ? After some observations on the probable causes of the extinction of species, Professor Owen re marked that the aboriginal laws of geographical distribution of plants and animals had been modi fied from of old by geological and climatal changes; but they had been much more - disturbed by man since his introduction upon the globe. The varieties of mankind and their distribution was then consi- dered. The practical results of the study of the ani mal kingdom in relation to sources of food and beasts of traction and burden were then referred to, and after some remarks on the great importance of natural museums of natural history, he added—The most elaborate and beautiful of created things, those manifesting life, have much to teach—much that comes home to the business of man, and also to the highest elements of his moral nature. The nation that gathers together thousands of corals, shells, insects, fishes, birds,_ and beasts, and votes the requisite funds for preparing, preserving, hous ing, and arranging them, derives the smallest pos sible return for the outlay by , merely gazing and wondering at the manifold variety and strangeness of such specimens of natural history. The simplest coral and the meanest insect may have something in its history worth knowing, and in some way profitable. Every o rgan i sm i s a c h arac t er i n w hi c h Divine wisdom is written, and which ought to be expounded. (Applause.) Our present system of opening the book of nature to the masses, as in the galleries of the British Museum, without any pro vision for expounding her language, is akin to that which keeps the Book of God sealed to the multi tude in a dead tongue. (Applause.) The learned professor next went on to inculcate the importance of a practical knowledge of sanitary science, and re ferred to the ignorance which had for so long pre vailed on all questions involved in such science, and in t'l , ‘ p 7111 re AKI: of this ignorance, presented not only in large workshops and densely populated towns, but in our naval and military arrangements, as shown daring the Crimean campaign, especially noticing the awful loss of life in the French army at Varna and in the Dobrudscha. He referred to the successful sanitary operations at Croydon and Ely, and added—lt has been shown by the Sanitary- Commissioners as a general,result that nearly one half the prevalent diseases are due to one or other form of atmospheric impurity; impurity from decomposing fecal or animal an d vege t a bl e matter within and without human habitations and beneath the sites of atmospheric impurity from over crowding. For the prevention of the diseases aris ing from these causes the sanitary physician must direct his requisitions, not to the apothecary, but to professors of new arts which are only partially created—the art of the sanitary architect and the art of the sanitary engineer. The latter has already officially shown how he may collect water from natural and artificial springs, convey it into houses unintermittingly fresh and without stagnation, and by its means remove from houses, through self cleansing drains and self-cleansing sewers con stantly, and before noxious decompositions can com mence, all the fecal and waste animal and vegetablo matter. In our time physicians have ably exerted themselves in aid of the sanitary engineer and ad ministrator, but it is to the landlord—to the repre sentative landlords and owners of habitations—in Parliament to whom exhortations are now required to be addressed to raise their minds above " the sordid considerations" of the expenses of cure, that is, of the expenses of those sanitary works of com bined drainage and water which it is their province to supply. (Applause.) Agriculture has of late years made unusual progress in this country, and much of that progress is due to the application of scientific principles ; chiefly of those supplied by chemistry ; in a less degree of zoology and physio logy. Geology now teaches the precise nature and relations of soils—a knowledge of great practical importance in guidin g th e drainer of land in the modifications of his general rules of practice. Palm ontology has brought to light unexpected sources of valuable manures, in phosphatic relics of ancient animal life, accumulated in astounding masses in certain localities of England, as, for instance, in the red crag of Suffolk and the green sands of Cambridge. But quantities of azetic, ammoniacal, and phosphatic matters are still suffered to run to waste; and, as if to bring the wastefulness more home to the conviction, those products, so valuable when rightly administered, become a source of annoyance, unremunerative outlay, and disease, when, as at present in most towns, imperfectly and irrationally disposed of. (Ap plause.) For the most part, thought is taken only how to get rid of these products in the easiest and quickest way. The metropolitan authorities have hitherto carried the chain of reasoning no further. They have turned them into the Thames, the receptacle nearest at hand ; but in so doing have failed in their prime intention. The metro polis is not even rid of its excreta ; but they are returned upon it and accumulated with increased noxious and morbific power on the strands of the valley that bisects it ; appealing, as is notorious, summer after summer, to the very Legislature itself, with unintermitting and importunate odours, compelling the attention of the possessors of land and houses to this important subject. (Applause.) and here I would beg leave to remark that in the operations of nature there is generally a succession of processes co-ordinated for a given result ; a peach is not directly developed as such from its elements; the seed would, a priori, give no idea of the tree, nor the tree of the flower, nor the fertilized germ of that flower of the pulpy fruit in which the seed is buried. It is eminently , characteristic of the Creative wisdom, this far-seeing and provision of an ultimate result, through the successive opera tions of a co-ordinate series of seemingly very dif ferent conditions. The further man d iscerns , in a series of conditions, their co-ordination to produce a given result the nearer does his wisdom approach —though the distance be still immeasurable—to the Divine wisdom. One philanthropist builds a fever hospital, another drains a town. One crime-pre venter trains the boy, another hangs the man. One statesman would raise money by augmenting a duty, or by a direct tax ; and finds the revenue not increased in the expected ratio. Another dimi nishes a tax, or abolishes a duty, and through the foreseen consequences the revenue is improved. The latter is the wisestatesman. Quarantine exemplifies only the first step in the pro g ress of thought, bearin g on the prevention of a dreaded distemper. It is a system which might keep out contraband goods or uncertified strangers, but it is powerless against the gaseous factors of plague, cholera, or yellow fever. No country in Europe has suffered more from such maladies than Naples or Portugal, where quaran tine regulations are most stringent. Science is deeply concerned in one progressive step—the uniformity of standard in measure and weight throughout the civilised world ; in urging on which step energetic and unwearied efforts are now being made by a committee of our fellow labourers of the Royal Society of Arts, among whom the name of the prime promoter of this and kindred reforms, Mr. James Y a tes, deserves special and honourable mention. Chemistry is more concerned in the uniform expression of the results of her deli cate balances among her cultivators of different countries; natural history is no less interested in the use by all observers of one and the same scale for measuring, and of one set of terms for expres sing the superficial dimensions of her subjects. In reference to the relations now subsisting between the State and Science, my first duty is to express our grateful sense of such measure of aid, co-opera tion, and countenance as has been allotted to scientific bodies, enterprises, and discoveries, — more especially to acknowledge how highly we prize the sentiments of the Sovereign towards our works and aims, manifested by spontaneous tributes to successful scientific research, in honourable titles and Royal gifts, and, above all, in the gracious eNi pressions accompanying them, with which her Majesty has been pleased to distinguish some of our body. Happy are we, under the present benignant reign, to have in the Royal Consort a Prince endowed with exemplary virtues, and with such accomplishments in science and art as have enabled his Royal Highness effectually, and on some memorable occasions, in the most important degree, to promote the best interests of both. We rejoice, moreover, in the prospect of being honoured and favoured at a future meeting by the Presidency of the Prince Consort ; and that ere long the Association may give the opportunity for the delivery of another of those " addresses" preg nant with deep thought, good sense, and right feeling, which have placed the name of Prince Albert high in the esteem of the intellectual classes, and' have engraven it deeply in the hearts of the humblest of her Majesty's subjects. (Loud applause.) On the part of the State sums continue to be voted in aid of the means independently noses eel 1w 1 1, p B Muc . erim and. the itoyal Society, whc:rcny the Natural History Collections in the first are extended and the more dirCct scientific aims of the latter int itution are advanced. The Botanical Gardens and Museum at Kew and the Museum of Practical Geology in Jermvn-street are examples of the national policy in regard to science of which we can hardly over-estimate the importance. Most hi g hl y and gratefully also do we appreciate the co-operation of the Board of Trade with our meteorologists by the recent for mation of the department for the collection of meteorological observations made at sea. But not by words only would or does science make return to Governments fostering and aiding her endea vours for the public weal. Every practical appli; cation of her disCoveries tends to the same end as that which the enlightened statesman has in view. (Applause.) The steam-engine,- in its manifold applications, the crime-decri lightning conductor, the el law of storms and rules for t' in them, the power of rend tions painless, the measures hcalth, and for preventing or —such arc among the more important practical results of pure scientific research with which man kind have been blessed and States enriched. They are evidence unmistakeable of the close affinity between the aims and tendencies of science and those of true State policy. I n proportion to the activity, productivity, and prosperity of a community is its power of responding to the calls of the Finance Minister. By a far-seeing one the man of science will be re garded with a favourable eye, not less for the unlooked-for streams of wealth that have already flowed, but for those that may in future arise out of the applications of the abstract truths to the discovery of which he devotes himself. (Applause.) After pointing out the benefit which had arisen to the State from the discoveries of Black, Oersted, Hunter, Priestley, and Bahl:lnc, and the advantages accruing from the establishment of the British Observatory at Kew, and the application of pure mathematics and astronomy to trade and commerce, in making voyages safer and speedier, and after acknowledging the aid which the Government had afforded to scientific expeditions recommended by the association, to the Kew Observatory, and to other institutions, the learned professor concluded as follows 3--" It now only remains for me to express how deeply I feel the honour conferred on me by the position in which, through your kind ness, I am now placed ; how highly I esteem the opportunity afforded me of addressing so distin guished and influential an audience in this most noble hall ; and how sincerely I thank you for the patience mid favour with which you have received the address." (Load applause.) The MAYoe, in proposing a vote of thanks to Professor Owen, observed that the assembly must all have derived an immense amount of information from the general review which had been given of the practical sciences of the present day. Without, however, saying more at th a t l a t e h our, h e could not refrain, on behalf of the corpontion and the inhabitants from bidding their chairman a hearty welcome as the representative of the British Asso ciation. He felt proud in having the Association there on that occasion, and he hoped that the accom modation provided, and the cordial reception the members would receive, would induce the Associa tion to visit Leeds again in its regular order. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Dr. HOOK, the Vicar of Leeds, seconded the resolution. He could not, he said, restrain from offering his congratulations to the British Association on this its fourth visit to its native county. When a voice from Scotland, evoking the practical energy of Yorkshire, called into exist ence the British Association, the state of science in England was such as to provoke the remarks of foreigners, and to excite regret among themselves, not only of those devoted to scientific pursuits, but of every one who was anxious for the honour of his country. Through the influence of that association their country had advanced to its proper, that was the foremost, place in the field of science—the posi tion it occupied in every other department - of human learning. (Hear, hear.) It would he impertinent in him to attempt to pass a eulogy on Professor Owen, whose &me was world wide, and it would be equally presumptuous if he were to make any remarks on the address .in which their president had photo graphed the discoveries of science, but he could not withhold his thanks for the general tone of that address: (Applause.) It would confirm the grow ing feeling that science, instead of being, as it was once supposed, the opponent, was really the hand maid of Christianity. People were beginning to see that the philosopher might carry out his re searches into the secrets of nature fearless of con sequences and regardless of results ; and that, at the same time, the theologian, with equal tenacity and boldness, could assert the facts of revelation, since the author of nature and the author of reve lation was the same blessed Being. They might also rest assured that the facts of science were reconcileable with the facts of Scripture, though in their ignorance they knew not how to reconcile them, nntil the Christian philosopher came among them, and was able to unite, as Lord Bacon said, a deep knowledge of the works of God with a know ledge of His Word. (Applause.) The motion was carried with acclamation. Professor PHILLIPS then stated that tickets had been taken by 150 old life members, 31 old annual members, 26 new life members, 62 new annual members, 519 associates, 415 ladies, and six foreigners; making a total of 1,259, whose sulaserip tions :mounted to £1,400. (Applause.) • The meeting-8 of the several sections have been well attended to-day, the aggregate number of per sons present not being far from 1,800 or 2,000. Among the papers put down to be read to-day were the following : SECTION A.—MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " Perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. lie then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which earried ofF the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for It can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a parhphlet which is sent post-free. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. LEEDS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

Yesterday evening there was a very numerous assembly of ladies and gentlemen in the spacious and handsome hall of the Town-hall, when the Rev. Humphrey Lloyd, 1).D., resigned the presidenti a l chair to Professor Ow en . lire understand that the attendance was larger than at the meetings at Liverpool and Leamington, or indeed at any inau gural meeting of the association. The Dr. Lloyd took the chair at half-past 8 o ' c l oc k, an d im mediately around him and in other parts of the room were most of the persons w h ose names are given in the above list. Before Professor Owen commenced his address, The Rev. Dr. LLOYD, the retiring president, briefly addressed the assembly. He said that the task he had to perform N vas a very s i mp l e one— namely, to resign the h i gh trust which had been conferred upon him by the members of the British Assocation, and to give place to a successor whom he felt to be in every way more qualified to dis charge its duties. In looking back upon the labours of the association for the past ;year, it was gratify ing to him to know that the interest and the im portance of its proceedings had not lessened in any way since the time of its first formation ; small as was the share which the annual !officer: could have in such a result, it would be a source of deep pain t) him to feel that the efficiency of the association PRICE 4 D .
