Parents find it more pleasing to their children and more satisfactory to themselves than any other Excursionists discover it is expressly the dress they need, and Noblemen, Clergymen, Trades men, or Mechanics each give it their warmest approval, while all purchasers are convinced that its quality and cheapn es exhibit the triumph of E.

Your " Little Gold" should beco me the germ of " Much Gold," and if judiciously spent is sure to sue. ceed. " Much Gold" may ba expende I with Inexperienced Outfit tree, and little service will you get from their goods. " Little Gold" will procure at E. MOSES and SON'S an Outfit which will answer the most important purposes, from the time of your embarkation to the period when your wishes are realised in the possession of wealth. " Much Gold" may be consumed in separate purchases by Emi grants, but " Littie Go'd" -will procure such a collection of clothing and useful articles as are worth calling an Outfit, if E. MOSES and SON'S Establishment is the only place applied to. " Little Gold" in a good market is better than " Much Gold" in a } Jad one, as an unsuitable Outfit will be the most expensive as well as the greatest impediment to the Emigrant's success. E. MOSES and SON'S boundless, hut select and appropriate Stock shows the Emigrant most convincingly that he is at the best market in the world. " Much Gold" may be easily obtained in Australia at the "Di rgings," or at almost any other employment, but " Little Gold" spent at E. MOSES and SON'S will put the Emigrant in pos session of mare useful and serviceable goods than " Much Gold" will at present procure in any of the colonies.

This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if be shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct." —London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we havo scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Plckford ; but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 28,1852.

The best medical treatment afforded him no relief, the blood being so corrupt that was considered impossible to subdue the disease.

DEATH FROM CIIORTNG.-011 Tueeday afternoon Mr. William Baker held an inquest at the Grave Maurice, Whitechapel-road, on the body of Susannah Toffs, wife of a well-know n vender of fish in the Whitechapel-road, com monly called " Mackerel Bill.'

Mr. Godfrey, surgeon, 3, Mount-street, produced the piece of meat, three•quarters of an ounce in weight, which he removed from the throat of deceased, and the jury re turned a verdict," That the deceased was choked in attempt ing to swallow a large piece of beef."

THE MANCHESTER FREE LIBRARY, The ceremony of opening the new Free Public Library at Manchester was gone through yesterdaYs in presence of a very large and distinguished com pany. The building consists mainly of two lofty and spacious rooms, occupying each of the principal floors, the lower one containing the library for lend ing, and the other the books of reference. In the latter, or upper story, the company assembled, to the number of nearly a thousand persons, a large propor tion of whom were ladies. The noblemen and gen tlemen present for the purpose of taking part in the proceedings were the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Wilton, the Bishop of Manch es t er , Si r Ed war d Bulwer Lytton, Sir J. S tep h en Mr, Charles Dickens, Mr. Monekton Ma nes , M.P., Air. J o h n B r i g ht, M.P., Mr. W. Brown, M.P., M r. Thackeray, Mr. Charles Knight, Dr. V a u g h an , and Air. Felkin (Mayor of Nottingham). Am ong th e ladies present were the Countess of Wilton a n d the lion. M isses E ger t on . Sir J. POTTER took th e c h air at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock, and p roceeded to read a report giving a very full and suc c i nct history of the new in stitution. In the course of the chairman's address be pointed to a number of handsomely bound books behind him, presented by his Royal Highness ,Albert, amidst great applause. He eenctitd'h leye rraillY handing over to the Mayor of Manchester the title deeds of the building, and a transfer of the library, in trust for the people. The Mayor of MANCHESTER having briefly ac knowledged the gift, sl:aoinst the very p ro - The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said—Si r John Potter, propos e th e fi rs t bt unconnected with myself on the your rude ladies, resolutionand I m gentlemen,uat defend imyselfnrisin gable great char city, charge the., ai, presume as a strangerto o notice of this meeting. But you, Sir John Potter, know very well that the directors of the institution assigned to me the honour, and I undertook it most cheerfully, because, though not connected with this city, I am not uninterested in your welfare; and many of the former events'of my life have given me a deep and lasting de s ire f o r the h onour and prosperity of the city of Manchester.—(Cheers.) N ow, the re solution which I am ca ll e d u p on t o move expresses— " That ;his meeting witnesses with great satisfaction the opening ceremony of the Manchester Free Library, and desires to express its entire confidence that this noble institution will effect great and lasting good to the com munity for generations to come. (Cheers.) Sir, there will be no dificulty in obtain ing your concurrence in this resolution , and there will be as little difficulty in showing the bystanders and the world at large the local benefits that will arise from this institution. But we must go further than local benefits ; and allow me to o b serve that, in these days of pursuit and excitement, i n t h ese days of accelerated r p a r t o e j d e projects intercourse, and restless when inquiry, time m e in the se d a y s o f and al space almost seem extinct, you are preparing ther e by an antidote to mischief that might otherwise ari se ; and, in set ting an example that may be imitat e d, and laying down a principle of universal application, you assert that the true end of commerce is to make the institu tions of the country subservient to its civilization, and then its civilization subservient to the social and moral ' amelioration of the whole family of mankind.— (Loud cheers.) Now, sir, who in these days will presume to question the growing improvement of the men of commerce and of industry ? They no longer, as before, figure for a time, and then become absorbed in the great mass of proprietors ; they now stand apart, upon a separate and independent basis, and claim to be heard, as equal to the best in patriotism, principle, and intellectual power.—(Cheers.) You might have founded, if you pleased, an attractive little reading room, where journals, where newspapers, and occa sionally periodicals might have been found —you might have added to it, if you liked, the allurements of a smoking-room and a billiard-table, but that would not have satisfied the requirements of the age, nor the aspirations of the town of Manchester. —(Hear.) You have founded this great and glorious institution, large, liberal, and cosmopolite, and from my heart I say, may God prosper it for the purpose for which it was intended ; and may you, in the pursuit of wealth, and in the duties of commerce, in the exercise of every virtue, in the maintenances of- ettevusd-seirl' great principle —may you, I - say, there bf sanctify the possession and enjoyment of your riches, and may you enjoy for yourselves, and transmit to those that come after you, the citizenship of a crowded city, whose merchants are princes, and whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth.—(Cheers.) I have the honour of proposing the resolution which I have read to you.—(Loud cheers.) Sir E. B. LYTTON was next called on to address the assembly. He said—l confess th a t there are two things which I value still snore than even this library , itself ; and the one is, the generous spirit of emula tion with which the poor had co-operated with you for their own improvement ; and next, the proof you have given that you sympathize with all that can elevate and instruct the classes whose industry you employ. Gentlemen, the other day I asked the en lightened Minister of the United States what was the heaviest rate in America; and he told me rather to my surprise, that a poor-rate in some of the towns was almost as heavy as it is in this country; but he said that the largest rate, and the most general, was a rate for the purpose of education—(Hear)—" and that," he said, "is a rate we never grumble at, because it is in education that we find the principle of our safety." But, gentlemen, education does not cease when we leave school. Education, rightly considered, is the work of a life, and libraries are the schoolrooms of grown-up men. I was exceedingly touched and affected when, the other day, a l mos t upon I my entrance into you r h orough, was taken by my friend and amiable host, Sir E. Armitage, to see the library and museum at Peel Park, which I be lieve owes as much to the philanthropy of my excellent friend Mr. Brotherton as this library owes to Sir John Potter. I was moved and affected when I sa w 8 2 many intelligent young faces bending over books with such earnest attention, and when I felt what a health ful stimulus had replaced the old English ex citements of the alehouse and the gin palace. Gentlemen: whate ver m i n d s ma y b e d est i ned to grow up an d flourish under the shade of this tree of knowledge which you have now planted, none of us can conjec ture; but you of the present generat i on h av e nobly t o done y our d uty, an d may calmly leave the resu lt time, sure that you have pl ace d b es i de t h e sorrows, and c ares , and pass i ons o f their common sensual life, direct our still monitors that instruct our youth, t h a trect l our manh oo d, and comfort our old ae.

For this reason, and many my convictions i n association others, I shall trouble you with a very short speech t o h p e es w , c a ,r n k d in m g indeed in proposing the resolution with which I have with this auspicious yh atono d e a : Lthat I cannot the honour to be intrusted. It so perfectly expresses do better than friend who addressed you provision has by means of a free in this institution special " That, es that lending library, this meeting cherishes the earnest hope of at l the books thus made available will prove a source a I? easure and improvement in the cottages, the gar rets , and the cellars of ho poorest of our people." (Cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, limiting what I shall say on this subject to two very brief heads, It w ould beg t o o b serve, fi rst ly, that I have been made ha ppy, sinc e I h ave been sitt i n g here, by the solution of a problem which has long perplexed me. I - have see n so many references made in newspapers, Parlia mentary debates, and elsewhere , to " the Manchester school," that I have long bad a con siderabl e anx i ety to i know what th at p h rase m ight mean , and what the A_ my scho o l might be._(Oheers and lau g ht er. ) my natural curiosity on this head has not been di minished by the very contradictory accounts I have received respecting that same school , some great au t .orities assuring me that it was a very go .d one, some that it was a very b a d one ; some that it was very broad an d compre h en sive, some that it was very narrow and limited ; som e that it was gi all cant," and some that it was all cotton. Now, ladies and gentle men, I have solved this difficulty by finding here to day that the Manchester schcol is a great free school, bent on carrying instruction to the poorest hearths.— (Cheers.) It is this great free school, inviting the humblest w or k man to come in and to be a student, — this great free school, muuificently endowed by vo luntary contributions in an incredibly short space of time—starting upon its glorious career with 20,000 volumes of di books—knowing nosti but the public want an d t h e public g ,ladies and gentlemen'building o this shall ha g ) netien no sect, no y, t and distinction—(Cheers)—nothin g npcierftor represent to me th e Manchester 8 Cehho school.—(Cheers. ) o e d r . ) ( good.—(Cheers. ) ee rr i ss n i ) t A o n w d ns l a p n r d ay ei t t o ies H , Heaven, moreover, an m y o h re i o n ver, that many great sionnavthealtonitgau authorities, may go to school a little in the M anchester g seminary, and teaches.—(Cheers.) in my sphere profit entl e b t n y e t n h e a noblend ladies, a zealous advocate for the diffusion of knowled ge ers among all classes and condition s o f men—(Cheers)— ) because I do believe, with all th e s t rengt h and might with which I am capable of believing • anything, that the more a man knows the more amply, and with the more faithful spirit, he comas back to the fountain of all knowledge, and takes to his heart the great and sacred precept, "On earth peace, goodwill towards men."—(Cheers.) And well assured lam that that great precept, and those other things I have hinted at, as plesant to have heard here to-day from a working man, will rise higher and higher, above the beating of hammers, the roar of wheels, the rattle of machinery, and the rush of water, and be more and more clearly felt, through every pulsation of this great heart, the better known and used this institution is. —(Cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, I hive great pleasure in mov s4 ing the resolution .whichLhave already read-to ybur'-f ftle:+fir:lVl.-Tilacx.Estax, who was much cheered, said—ln rising to second this resolution you will see that my trouble indeed is but small. The cause is so good, and the advocate that you have heard upon it has addressed you with an eloquence so noble and so heart-stirring, that it is useless for me to do anything more than to second him with all my heart, and to leave the case in the hands of this great jury. Of course, gentlemen and ladies, among the many sani tary and social reforms which every man interested in the public welfare is now anxious to push forward, the great measure of books will not be neglected ; and we look to this as much as we look to air, or as we look to light or to water, for benefiting our poor. If books do soothe, and cheer, and console—if books do enlighten, and enliven, .and fortify—if they do make sorrow bearable to us, or teach us to forget or to endure it—if they do create in us harmless tears or happy laughter—if they do bring forth in us that peace and that feeling of goodwill of which Mr. Dickens spoke but now, and which anybody who reads his books must have felt has come from them— (Cheers) —surely we will,not grudge these inestimable blessings to the poorest of our friends; but will try, with all our might, to dispense their cheap but pre cious benefits over all. Of the educated mechanics, of course, it is not my business to speak, or even my wish to pretend to be an instructor. Those who know the educated mechanics of this vast city, or of this empire, are aware that they are in the habit o f debating the greatest literary and political questions among themselves ; that they have leisure to think and talent to speak much greater than that of other men who may be obliged, like myself, to appear for a moment before you; they have their poets and their philosophers; their education is very much changed from that of 100 years ago; when, if you remember, Hogarth represented the idle mechanic as occupied with "Moll Flanders," and the good mechanic as having arrived at reading the history of that good apprentice who was made Lord Mayor of London. The mechanics of our days have got their Carlyles to read, their Dickens on the shelf, and their Bulwers by the side of them.—(Cheers.) It is now to the very poor, to the especially poo r, that this resolution we have before us applies; and I am sure you will use your endeavows to meet the purpose for which it is intended, and to carry the contents of your volumes among the cottages, the garrets, and the cellars. I am aware, gentlemen, that in such a vast collection, the sort of works which I am in the habit of writing can but occupy a very small space. I know that our novels are but what we way call tarts for the people, whereas history is bread, and science is bread, and historical and spiritual truth are that upon which they must be fed. Sir JAMES STEPHEN, introduced as the Professor of Modern History at Cambridge, said the resolution he had been called upon to propose was the following " That in the free reference library this meet ing hails with great pleasure a provision for the wants laf the scholar and the student. of every class, and in most branches of literature, science, and and art, records its firm expectation that by a continuance of liberal aid this department of the institution will long be a centre of intellectual information and improve ment." Stranger as I am (said he), and unknown by name to the vast majority of those whom I have the honour to address, I nevertheless found myself truly unable to decline the invitation which has breught me hither. It reached me at Cambridge, where, as Sir John Potter has stated, I hold the office of Professor of Modern History. It found me there, surrounded by every external aid which can promote the pursuit of knowledge, and in possession of everything which can recommend such pursuits either to the imagination or the heart. It found me an inmate of one of those ancient edifices, where the eternal and immutable re lation of the beautiful and holy was first revealed to Spenser, to Milton, and to 'Wordsworth, that each of them in his turn might be to his own age the apostle of that revelation —where Isaac Barrow and Jeremy Taylor where first taught to illustrate the whole com pass of divine learning, by lights drawn from the whole compass of human learning—where Bacon laid the deep foundations, and Newton reared the glorious superstructure of the inductive philosophy —where Cecil and Cromwell acquired the rudiments of the great science of goverhing mankind —where Wishart and Cranmer, Luther and Ridley, were trained up to be the martyrs of the cause of man's spiritual freedom—where, emulous of their great predecessors, a Herschel, an Adams, a Whe well, and many others whom I might name, but especially the professor of mineralogy, are labouring at this moment to scale every height and to sound every depth, both of natural and moral science—and where, thanks to the pious zeal, and to the princely munificence of our founders and benefactors, twenty noble libraries are thrown open to every member of our academic body. Now, if in the midst of such as sociations and of such associates I had disobeyed your summons to come hither, and to show by my presence, as far as I could, the profound interest which the teachers of youth at Cambridge feel in the moral and in the intellectual welfare of this great city, I should not have known how to justify to myself this strange superiority of my own accidental fortune ; and I should have failed in one of the most grateful of the duties which I owe to my own university.—(Cheers.) Well assured am I that none of my colleagues there —and, I trust, none of my pupils—are so heedless of the lessons of history as to contemplate unmoved the state or prospects of this mighty population. At Cambridge, as everywhere else where educated men are brought together, Manchester is a name of deep and even awful significance ; for here is the metropolis of that Titanic industry, on the con tinued success of which England has delibe rately pledged her station and her authority among the nations of the world.—(Cheers.) Here are daily exhibited, in the light of day, miracles which no scepticism disputes—the miracles wrought by me chanism and by capital in the hands of a skilful, an energetic, and an united population. Here is the mainspring of that mighty commerce by which we are united in the bonds of peace to every kindred, tongue, and people of this earth. Here is the theatre of that domestic union where meet in friendly con cert, or in generous rivalry, manual labourers from each of the three kingdoms of our gracious Sove reign —intellectual labourers from every field of science which is tributary to art—spiritual labourers from each of the churches which collectively consti tute the church universal. Here is the sphere of the great and tremendous experiment, how physical force in its most formidable aspect, may be brought into a glad subjection to moral force in its gentlest and it s kindliest forms. Here has been proclaimed, with un exampled success and eloquence, the truth of that which the French would call the solidarite of man kind ; the truth that the members of every human society, from the domestic household to the great commonwealth of nations, are knit together for good or for evil by links wrought by the Almighty arm, and which, therefore, it is not permitted to any human hand with impunity to relax, which the advocates of free trade deduce from political science, aided by their own extensive experience, they might with equal confidence have drawn e from that inspired canon which teaches that, s it nd u if but which member suffer all the members suffer with one member rejoice all the members rejoice.vviti!!'—of (Cheers.)

The wealth which your enter prise creates gives to your sons the right to compete for all the highest dignities —Parliamentary, mili tary, intellectual, commercial, or what else, which England has to bestow ; and the scholastic apparatus which we possess gives to us the power of training them for success in that noble competition. There fore the union of the two may eventually benefit each. But we invite you or your sons to those twenty libra ries of which I have spoken, where let me say there are diggings infinitely of richer value than those of Australia. And you will perhaps now permit me assuming, with but little pretension to assume, the character of the temporary and monitory represen tative of that illustrious -seat of learning, you will perhaps permit me to offer some short suggestion as to which your own library may be most judiciously collected and employed. Sir, if we had now among us that sententious sage of ancient Greece who de clared that a great book was a great evil,' he would probably extend his maxim further, and say that a great library was a greater evil still. And doubtless such collections are not without their inconveniences. It may be admitted that they tend to a desultory, might perhaps say, discursive,' and Me use of books; that, as John Bun yanfrom climbing theof they deter many . a student prickly etaff_of s difficulty, leenicg the valley below, where, fruits.

Nev e rth e l ess , temple will a hope that of those who youenter cherish this of learning by these port a l s of delight, sh some will, at least, find their w a y t o the of wisdom; acid even if it should b e otherwise, afford inginrine to your fellow-citizens the means of i nnocent an intellectual delight, you will have conferred on th em l an inestimable advantage.—(Cheers.) But there will be other visitors in this chamber; there will b e persons coming here to satiate that inextinguishable craving of the soul of man for exact knowledge of ab stract truth, and of comprehensive principles. Their reading will be nutritive, because it will be systema tic and consecutive, and assimilated by meditation to the general mass of their own thoughts and mental habitudes. To gratify the sacred thirst, you will make provision proportionate rather to the worthiness than to the number of those by whom it may be felt. But thus to classify your library into the two libra ries of entertaining and of useful knowledge is truly unworthy of the nobleness of your purpose. This room should rather be, and will rather be, a palpable and a visible commentary on the text of Francis Bacon—that text, I mean, in which be declares that the surest division of human learning is that which is derived from the three faculties of the soul, the seat of learning; philosophy being relative to the reason, poetry to the imagination, and history to the me mory. Now, with regard to philosophy, there is nothing which I should presume to offer. Divine philosophy will assuredly not miss of her due precedence in this place, when they by whom the choice of books is to be made will be able to avail themselves of the counsels of the Lord Bishop of this diocese, and of my excellent and very learned friend the President of the Independent College of this county.—(Cheers.) And among the fellow citizens and associates of Dalton it is not for me to offer any suggestion as to the choice of books regarding human philosophy. Neither will I attempt to say much re specting the second Baconian division, which is poetry ; for poetry, whether she express herself in verse or in prose, whether she shall assume the character of the epic, or the drama, or the romance, or the fable, or the ode, or allegory, poetry has been to every one of us, for many a long year, either as a handmaid or a mis tress ; and I firmly believe there is no one here pre sent who could not extemporise an excellent catalogue of the works of that kind which it would be most desirable to purchase ; nor any one who could not more or less, from his own experience, illus trate in what manner such works would be most ' fitly Bat bdOrel lin - rtAry; I cannot but in this presence take the liberty expressing to the three great masters of the dramatic romance of our own time and country the gratitude which, both as a father of a family and as a tutor of youth, I cherish towards them.—(Applause.) The author that has been pleased to depreciate a little his own err, the author of Vanity Fair, and the other author whose works in that kind are so numerous that I can hardly illustrate them, e xcept by naming the Caxtons—these great authors have a negative merit, the value of which will be best appreciated by mhos.- who are beet acquainted with their continental rival: —the merit, I mew, that they have never caused modesty to blush or virtue to frog n.—(Applause.) But the merit of the writings of the third is of a yet higher nature ; it is that amid all the riot of their fancy, their humour, and their whim, while , they teach us t o l aug h most hearti l y at each others follies, and t o b e di ssa tisfied wi th each other's faults, they still have in common the one unbroken aim to teach us all to assist, to pity, to forgive, and to love one another—( Ap plause) —and hence it is not without rea s on that the la test of those works, which I have had the good fortune to read, has taken to itself that fitting title of Household Words. And now, unless I have—as I fear I h a ve--entirely ex haustedone short moment to make some allusion to the third your patience, would beg . permission . for of those divisions of Lord Bacon in which h l am f my mean old Cambria ? self more peculiarly concerned -- I tort'. I am not going to repeat an Cambridge peak here, my ace lecture, be assured. I hope to s demical dress being laid aside, like a man of this world. But while philosophy will be the pursuit of the few—the remarkable few—and poetry will be the delight and solace of the multitude, history will be the appropriate study of-the great majority. It will be so, because the lessons it teaches are of peculiar importance to men in their relation to the common wealth, to men as citizens ; and it will be so especially because whatever is done in that matter forms the basis, the skeleton of all the future knowledge which the reader can acquire, and gathers around those dry bones and imparts to them the beauties of form, of colour, and of vitality. We are living, Sir, at a time when it is not permitted to any man to withhold the little which it may be in his power to contribute towards the advancement of such objects as this. These mighty discoveries and strange inventions, these gigantic revolutions, these unheard of migrations, this heaving of the lower strata of n human society, this increasing power ofe e popular theave reachedwhe voice—all these things testify that w the accomplishment of the prophecy of that time " men shall run to and fro on the earth, and know ledge shall be increased,"—and therefore that human e m a a r n e a a ff pp af r r o s a . chi T n u g agreat approach such a erisisand crisis or ca t as t rop h e i n a right spirit, it b e h oves u catastro r p e h You have doneus all to d o ou r best. this temple of year best; you h av e erected now, knowledge in the midst of a multitude, whom with , c a o s in w o e su h r a e ve an h d escl rs re cently,we regard hope,o but whom altered circumstances u p light cause us to reg ard with very diff erent feelings. The future, ho wever, is in the hands of Him who rules us all—euebusinisss is with the preseut, or with the present sliming in some I, re the Noble Lord who just addressed you Toil; h with G d bl g ess this inferior authority, would say, " May hose humanity Flay to repeat his svordstot_ institution, and reward those by lit it was devised, and by whose libera Y it has been erected."—(Great cheering.) Chairman and Mr. R.

I remem read them ma ny k piles of books I have there seen resting b walls, which I could have wished a a nd hear til y of our desired to see in the hands of the poorest n e her how dust u p on t he f e llow-men.—(Hear, hear.) I have remem bered, too, not without shame, how many of the class to which I belong possess magnificent reposi tories of books, from which hardly a volume ever descends from the shelves.—(Laughter.) I there fore will take another line of congratulation from that which has been offered to you. You have been con gratulated, red justly an, on your own munificence and liberality and sound judgment in raising this in stitution, in purchasing this noble building, in filling these shelves as they are filled,—but let m e congra tulate you on having a population which can read them.—(Cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, I think it impessible to overrate the political utility of such an institution as this. Think what a book is—what every one of those volu m es upon your sh e l ves i s . It i s a portion of the eternal mind, caught in its progress through the -world, stamped in an instant, and pre served for eternity. Think what it is—that enor mous amount of human sympathy and intelligence that is contained in these volumes, and think what it is that this sympathy should be communicated to the masses of the people. Comptire the stall of the man who is really well informed with the whole of that part of literature upon the subject on which he is speaking, and with which his mind is embue.d, with that of the solitary artisan, upon whom, perhaps, the light of genius has dawned in some great truth, in some noble inspiration, in some high idea, resting there, unable to accomplish itself, unable to realise its meaning, and probably ending in nothing but dis content or despair.—(Hear.) Compare the state of that man, such as he would be without book., with what that man may be with books. So that it is only books that can save him from the most exag gerated conclusions, from the falsest doctrines, and ail those evils which may damage and even destroy the masses of mankind. It is only ,remember, what lies in these books that makes all the difference be tween the wildest Socialism that ever passed into the mind of a man in this ball, and the deductions and careful processes of the mind of the student who w ill sit at these tables—who will learn humi lity by seeing what others have taught before him; and who will gain from the sympathy of ages intelligence and sense for himself.—(Cheers.) I believe, too, that even in the mere and more mate ' tial form it will be of the greatest advantage to this population. When the Committee of the House of ' Commons on which I sat, and of which a gentleman whose name should not go unmentioned in this hall, Mr. E wart, was chairman—(Cheers) —and a most inde faiigable and zealous chairman he was—among the great amouot'of evidence brought before us in that Committee I am not aware that any one sentence touched me more than the evidence given, if I re member right; by some person intimately connected with the menufacturine districts, that bouke were a good deal more sought for aid read by artisans when they had short time and less work than when they were in full -employment. I own I thought that I saw in this something more than-met the eye. I saw thatit-wasTossible fer..the artisan not enjoying the iiill pi'atitalit .II ra`stretii Is and his labour to find at least some consolation for the increased difficulties and self-denial to which 'he was subject, and, in commu ; fl ing with the minds of others through the various channels of literature, deriving perhaps comfort and advantage to himself in seeing how other men had toiled and suffered before him, and beginning to hope for the future time by seeing how full of glorious prospects this world is for the good of the industrious man.— (Cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, the resolu'ion which has been placed in my hands is of s• me special import to me, because it refers to the books which are placed in this room, which are not to be taken out of it, but which are to he enjoyed in fall community by all the inhabitants of this place. It is therefore truly touching to us to feel that these volumes, pre ktnasino: you for pre sented to us by Royal munificence, will be shared equally by the wealthiest and the most intelligent among you, and by the poorest and simplest student. These, gentlemen, are real principles principles of equality from which the most timid need of equality, not shrink, because we know that they only substan mgwwroeoaerrdtil,dad date this solemn truth, that, beyond sod behind this t, and w nno ndi whichst inl 1, and a w l l hi thereit es htitles , changesthe iasu equality,d poorest a positions,n d ina chances, which there leasth i c with all its a p b ro o u ve de b s i t in —tio (C k h n e o e w rs e .) w . h e th er he may not be a deal having asked me here to-day. therefore for for having heard these few poor observ e L r a e t e l i y o h in icistu s l hu'ea o au t n f ni which I belong, and of the common citizenship and I thank you, in the name of the .isnsahiurethtaot and preserve a na tion.—(Loud all enjoy, for having consummated one of p those great acts which animate, educate, cheers.) The Earl of WILTON seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., then rose and said—The reso lution which the committee have placed in my hands is one which to my mind appears to be not very necessary for the objects of the meeting and for the success of the institution, becau se it merel y asks the Town-council of Manchester to do t heir dut y with regard to it. It is as follows : e That in transferring to the corporation of Man chester their farewell offering, as embodied in the free library, the contributors express their fullest confidence that the trust reposed in the municipal body will be ful filled so as to realise the most sanguine expectations of its founders." Now, the corporation of Manchester representing the borough of Manchester, they represent, no doubt, nine. tenths of the subscribers to the institution.— (Hear.) The corporation of Manchester is one of those not of very ancient standing, but which has been and is characterized by the activity and energy of its operations since it was first established. And if that corporation can be trusted with the police, the draining, the lighting, the supply of water, the ma nagement of the improvements of the town, and the isys hie se the liree revenues of the town, there can be no )BOubt whatever that they can be equally trusted with cne mansgetnent of this most interesting insti talent- init .- ViEitc It& - reeoltittar'weil gut - into my heads it was hinted to me by a gentleman very lit elyth know, that I had better say very little about the corporation—(Hear, hear, and I.ughrer)—that, in point of fact, there were persons who took an exag gerated and perhaps unfair view of what it is ; there were others who felt the corporation rather as the instrument for the levying of the I, cal taxation. Well, but let every man bear this in mind, that all persons who have examined the condition of Manchester some few years ago, and know its condition now, believe that there is not, us I believe there is not, a cor poration in the United Kingdom that within the last ten years has done so much for the permanent ad vantage of the town with which it is connected as the corporation of Manchester.—(Cheers.) And although the burden of rates, as we all feel, is not inconsider able, let us, at any rate, if we cannot get rid of there rates, look at the bright side of the question, and see the advantages which we derive from their expendi ture. The council, as you have heard, have not the power to increase this library. I doubt if it has the power, to the extent which the founder of the library intended, even to conserve the library in the position in which it is now before you. The Libraries Act, as you are aware, is a very ilieffisient and incomplete measure, and IWIls in the House of Commons when it passed, and if it were not keeping the meeting with what hardly belongs to it, I could describe some of the difficulties which Mr. E wart and Mr. Brother ton, who were the parents of this Act, had in pass ing it through the House of Commons. And it is an extraordinary fact that the opposition to this Bill came almost enti re l y f rom that side of the House which is compr ise d of country gentlemen, a great portion of them having had, no doubt, an education at one of our great universities. Those gentle men opposed thin Act on the ground, and I hope by this time they have found it was not a very judi cious ground, that there were certain boroughs s te l d ri certain agricultural districts that were incorporated, and that it would not be a judicious and prope hi Bill of to add to the burdens on land by this nature.

The resolution I said was not necessary, because it merely expresses what I am quite sure the Corpt ration already feel, that it is their duty to conserve this institution to the utmost of their power. It has been raised by the joint sub scription of all classes ; it is intended for the benefit of all ; there can be no result come from it which is not creditable to Ma nc h ester, and to the aut h or ities of Manchester, and therefore I feel the greatest confi dence that the institution will never be found by any of its friends in a less efficient and complete condition than it is on the day of its opening.—(Cheers.)
