The Mayor of MANCHESTER having briefly ac knowledged the gift, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY Sa ladies, and gentlemen, in risin to prop ose th e first :Sir John Potter, resolution I must defend myself ainst the very pro bable charge that, as a strang , unniedurted with your great city, I presume to o rude myself on the no meeting.B director of th e institutionyi Sir John Potter, know w ce of very y t w his elltha tthe assigned to me the honour, and,, 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 desire for the honour and prosperity of the city of Manchester.—(Cheers.) Now, the re solution which I am called upon to move expresses— " That this meeting witnesses with great satisfaction the opening ceremony of the Manchester F ree Library, and desires to express its entire confidence that thi s noble institution will effect great and lasting goo d to the com munity for generations to come." (Cheers.) Sir, there will be no difficulty in obtain ing your concurrence in this resolution, and there will be as little difficulty in shoving the bystanders and the world at large the locil benefits that will arise from this institution. Bat we must go further than local benefits; and allow me to obse rve t h at, i n these days of pursuit and excitement, in th ese d ays o f novel projects and restless inquiry, in these days of accelerated intercourse, when time and space almost antidote t o seem mis e o x u t i i :f c t, thatyo u m a i r g e h t p repari otherwiseng t antidote an and, in set ting an example that may be imitated, and laying down a principle of universal application, you assert that the true end of commerce is b make the institu wfahmtly in of mankind.— days will m institu tions of the country subservient to its civilizaannd. ti k o i n,a! then its civilization subservient to the social and moral a( p Lm re e s 'ul u ido m rc e aht t ie o oenr q s. u s e f sti t o Nh n eo t w h w e growingsirhole' improvement of the men of commerce and of industry ? They no longer, as before, figure for a time, and then become a b sor b e d in the aseparate great mass and of independent proprietors basin, and cl a im t o be beard, 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 maintenance of every sound and great principle—may you, I say, thereby sanctify the possession and enryment 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. lie said—l confess that there are two things which I value still more 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 th e mos t genera], was a rate for the purpose of edu ca ti on _(llear)—" and that," he said, " is a rate w e never grumble at, because it is in education that we fi n d the principle of our safety." But, gentlem en education does not cease when we leave scho o l. Ed ucat i o n, rightly considered, is the work of a lif e, and l ib rar i e s are the schoolrooms of grown-up men. I was exceedingly touched and affected when, the other day, almost upon my entrance into your borough I was taken by my friend and amiable host, Sir E. Armitage, to see the library and museum at w hi c h I be lieve owes as much to the hil Peel Park, friend Mr. Brotherton as this library owes to Sir John p....anthropy of my Potter. I was moved and affected when I saw so s with many intelligent young faces bending over book such earnest attention, and when I felt what a health ful stimulus had replaced the old English excitements of the alehouse and the gin palace. Gentlemen, whatever minds may be destined to grow UP, and flourish under the shade of this tree of knowledge which you have now planted, none of us can conjec - excellent ture ; but you of the present generation have nobly done your duty, and may calmly leave the result to time, sure that you have placed beside the sorrows,. and cares, and passions of their common the still monitors that instruct our youth, that directd our manhood, and comfort our old age. Far blotene the sphere of our daily labour you have openea f our gates of that world which, like the divine poem ° own Milton, goes back to the infancy of creation, and forward ' to the promise of an infinite hereafter; thislibrary will that I may say to those students whom ~----- thm will call forth and create—l may say to n. almost in the very words in which that poem co eludes-- sensual life, " That world is all before you, where to choose ~ Your place of rest. Be Providence your guide. The resolution was carried with loud plaudits.tee most Mr. C. DICKENS, who was received with .. s, and cordial cheering, said—Sir John Potter, d gentlemen, I have been so much is the f other the la.t feesnieht, of relying upon the wordso t, h. people, that I find it quite a novel assure you I here dependent solely upon my own• g l of sliding feel at this moment in imminent dea-ardd esseol you into the language of my friend vibe a I ;ether miss habit ls an ie d w m ith an in y last, and, from the mere force o f habit, others, I shall trouble you with . the prompter.—(A laugh.)

And well assured lam that that gre at precept, and those other things I have hinted as p l e sant to have heard here to-day from a working a m an, will rise higher and higher, above the heating i r ' - h a mmers, the roar of wheels, the rattle of of machinery, and the rush of water, and be more and more clearly felt, through every pu l sati o n of t h is great heart, the better known and used this institution is. — (Cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, I hive great pleasure in mov ing the resolution which I have already read to you. Mr. W. M. THACKERAY, 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 mo re 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 refo rms which every man interested in the public welfart. ,11? anxious to push forward, the great measure of hooky 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 laught er —if they do brie g forth in us that p e ace and that feelin g 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 willnot grudge these inestimable blessings to th e poorest of our friends ; but will try, with all our m i g ht, 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 babit of 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 b e obliged, like myself, to appear for a moment before you; they have their poets and their philosophers; th eir 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 poor, that this resolution we have before US applies; and I am sure you will use your endeavours 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 to such a vast collection, the sort of works which l am in the habit of writing can but occupy a very small space. I know that our novels are but what we may call !arts 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 of the scholar and the student of every class, and in most branches of literature, science, and art, and 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 addieera, I nevertheless found myself truly unable to decline the invitation which has brought 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 governing mankind —where Wishart and Cranmer, Luther and Ridley, were trained up to be the martyrs of the cause of man's spiritual freedom—vvhere, emulous of their great predecessors, a Herschel, an Adams, a Whewell, 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 iu the bonds of poeco 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 i 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 its 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, but which they might with equal confidence have drawn I from that inspired canon which teaches that, if one 1 member suffer all the members suffer with it; and i f one member rejoice all the members rejoice with it. — "„ (Cheers.) Now, sir, between this great city of Manchester, the capital of our manufacturing indus try, and Cambridge, the eastern capital of the ecn_ and literature of England, there exists such . a o iv r e 'u" also ship.

There fore the union of the two may eventutliv benefit -ach. But we invite you or your eons to those twenty fibre ri, sof which I have spoken, where let me sap 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, toe 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 nee without their inconveniences. It may be admitted that they tend to a desultory, discursive, and idle use of books; that, as John Bun yan might perhaps say, they deter many a student from c li m bi ng t h e hill o f diffi c ulty, leaning on the prickly staff of self-denial, that he may gather ripe fruits on the summit , and induce him to loit er in the valley below , a where, , by turning over cou ntless m leaves, h e y gather a few sweet • but barren flowers. But which is that of all• the blessings we possess of which some simile abuse is . not possible ? In Utopia they manage these things better ; but in this world in which we li w v e e we must begin by taking things as they are if all experience assures o lmprove them; and doubtless majority sthat this noble chamber will be filled by a large instruction, but pastime ; looko'f persons seeking not for narcotics. y ou Nevertheles;, ng not for tonics but a hole that of those Portals- will cherish who enter this temple of ;earning by these will, at least, find their ways- of delight, some thetshrineeltf wisdom ; and even if it should beoth tn e in afford ing to your fellow-citizens the means otherwise, i i s n e nocent and intellectual delight, you will have conferred on th e m an inestimable advantage.—(Cheers.) e But there will be other visitors in this chamber ; the will be persons coming here to satiate that inextinguishabler of craving of the soul of man for exact knowle dg estreet truth, and of comprehensive principles. Their b 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 he 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 en 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 employed. But before I quit this topic entirely, I cannot but in this presence take the liberty cf 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 es a tutor of youth, I cherish towards them.—(Applause.) The author that has been pleased to depreciate a little his own era the author of Vanity Fair, and the other author whose works in that kind are so numerous that I can hardly illustrate them, except by naming the Cextons—these great authors have a negative merit, the value of which will be best appreciated by those who are best acquainted with their continental rivals t h a t th e y have never caused —the merit, I mean, modesty to blush or virtue to frown.—(Applause.) But th e 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 to laugh most heartily at each other's follies, and to be dissatisfied with 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 on e another—( App l a use) —and hence it is not without reason that the latest of those works, which I have bad the good for tune to rend, w has taken to itself that fitting title of Household or d B. And now, unless I have—as I I have—entiresion ly efx would beg permis h or I hausted your patience, fear one short moment to make some allusiontot e third of those divisions of Lord Ba con inwhich I ch thatam my self more peculiarly concerned ---I meanof his tory. lam not going to repeat an old Cambridge lecture, be assured. I hope to speak here, my aca 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 it . It will the appropriate study of the great major y teaches are of peculiar be so, because the lessons i t 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. W e 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 revolutione, these unheard of migrations, this heaving of the lower strata of human society, this increasing power of the popular voice—all these things testify that we have reached the accomplishment of the prophecy of that time when " men shall run to and fro on the earth, and know ledge shall be increased,"—and therefore that we are approaching a great crisis and catastrophe of human affairs. To approach such a crisis or catastrophe in a right spirit, it behoves us all to do our best. You have done your best ; you have erected this temple of knowledge in the midst of a multitude, whom now, as we have heard so re cently, we regard with composure and hope, but whom altered circumstances might cause us to regard with very different feelings. The future, however, is in the hands of Him is with the preseut, or who rules us all—our businessAs the Noble Lord who with tit° presont du'le• just jaddressed you said, .t• Pre suming in some way to repeat words, though wan inferior auth • his s this authority, would say, " May God bles . institut . hon, and reward tla - ose y whose hut:stn..% it was devised, and by whose liberality it he Pee erected."—(Great cheering.) es Cha i r man and Mr. It.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think it imp'•bale to overrate the political utility of such an institution as this. Think what a book is —what every one of those volumes upon your shelves is. It is 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, think and what it is that this sympathy should be communicated to the masses of the people.

EADVERTISEMENT.]—A remarkable Case of Scro fula cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The son of Mr. Alliday, 209, High-street, Cheltenham , when three years old, was afflicted with scrofula in the neck, and the disease in creased so fearfully that in four years he had ten ulcers on his body, besides a tumour between the eyes. The best medical treatment afforded him no relief, the blood being so corrupt that was considered impossible to subdue the disease. At this crisis Holloway's Pills and Ointment were resorted to, and with great success, for in two months the boy was soundly cured by their use, and he has continued P ell rofessor for the last three years.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Holloway' s Establishment, 244, Strand, London. DEATH FROM CHOKING.---011 Tuesday afternoon Mr. William Baker held an inquest at the Grave Maurice, Whitechapel-road, on the body of Susannah Toffs, wife of a well-known vender of fish in the Whitechapel-road, com monly called "Mackerel On Saturday night last, soon atter twelve o'clock, the deceased and her husband, having shut up their fish-stall at the corner of the Star and Garter, Whitechapel-road, proceeded home to their residence, 7, John-street, Buck's-row, and their daughter having c , oked some beefsteak for their supper, deceased, who w as ravenously hungry, took up a piec e which was lying in the dish, and was in the act of eating it, but not having half masticated it, it stuck in her throat, and although a medical I man was immediately sent for, she was dead before he ar rived. Mr. Godfrey, surgeon, 3, Mount-street, produced the p iece 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."

So that it is only books that can save him from the most exag gerated conclusions, from the fahest doctrines, eta all 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 hall, and the deductions emd careful processes of the miarl of the student who will sit at these tables—who will learn hurnie lity by seeing what others have taught betore him; and who will gain from the as- mpathy 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, nod of which a gentleman whose name should not go unmentioned in this hull, Mr. Ewart, was chairwan—(Cheers)—and a most inde fa,igable and zsa.lous chairman he was—among the g reat_ amount of evidence brought before us in that C o mmittee I am not aware that any ore sentence t o uched me more than the evi dence g iven, if I re member right, by some person intimately connected with the manufacturing districts, that hooks were a good deal more sought for and read by artisans when they had short time and less w crk than wi m they I were in full employment. I o wn I thou g ht that saw in this something more than m et the ea e. I saw that it was possible fn. the artisen not enjoying the full produce of his strength and his labour to find at least some consolation for the increased difficulties and self-denial to which he wes suVjact, and, in commu ning 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, end 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 same special import to me, because it refers to the books which are placed in this room, which are not to be taken cut of it, but which are to be eejoyed in full community by all the inhabitants of this place. It is therefore truly touching to us to feel that tbeii i.lt' tikem,ge 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 of equality, principles of equality from which the most timid need not shrink, because we know that they only Eubstan tiate this solemn truth, that, beyond nod behind this world, with all its changes and chances, with all its gradations, and titles, and positions, there is a spirit world in which there is equality, in which men must meet, and in which the poorest ii at least equal to the proudest—who knows whether he may not be a deal above him P—(Cheers.) I thank you, therefore, for having asked me here to-day. I sincerely thank 3 On for having heard these few poor observations ot mine, and I thank you, in_ the name of the Legislature to which .

It is as follows : e That in transferring to the corporation of Ai sne chester their farewell offering, us embodied in the free library, the contributors Express their full, st 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 chose 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 levi ing of the large revenues of the town, there can be no doubt whatever that they can be equally trusted with the management of this most interesting insti tution. But when this resolution was put into my hands it was hinted to me by a gentleman very likely to know, that I had better say very li , tle about the corporation—(Hear, hear, and laughter)—that, in point of fact, there were per sons who took an exage 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 local 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, as 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 c orporation 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 these 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 inefficient and incomplete measure, and I was 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. Ewart 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 entirely from that aide ot the House which is composed of country gentlemen, a great portion of them having had, no doubt, an education at one of our great universities. Those gentle men opposed this Act on the ground, and I hope by this time they have found it was not a very jud i " (nous ground, that there were certain boroughs in certain agricultural districts that were incorporated, and that it would not be a judicious and proper.tbingf this nature. to add to the burdens on land by passing • a Bill f or° any class to say that those connected w i t h sg ric,ult e ti nse t can d d I t s: Now, I am quite sure that t is not r or those connected with manufacture' , with such instruction as this library a_ people. lam sure it would be coun try, better for every manufacturing anu the laorbourer and wellevery agricultural labourer, every pitalist and every farmer, if they we well instructed in all those branches cessible in this library to theevpeorpu for this which are no read and question may better this viinere n of Manches ter ; end I hope that come before the House w o i r n c e mnions we 1,11911 find on which has now the Govern that side of the 1-1 with regard to the objects and ouaugseready and cordial agreement and such as this.—(llear, hear, betweenmot in itsthe them and d s advantages of ihthink, as we have a distinguished and cheers.) 1 d now as one of the Members for an —distinguished . . distinguished from his literary position here with us, and who has English h that I listened to with extreme plea g en: l e s n made , speech . _ _ behalf of the meeting, ' I ;ill y I think 1 may, on . acn[unty, sitting sue — en any further measures of this nature treat him, when he shall take his place in the House of Commons, and shall be brought betor e Parliament, that he will en deavour to induce those among whom he sits to give their cordial co-operation and favour to any further judicious and wise legislation with regard to the es tablishment of free libraries by the corporations of this country.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution I said was not necessary, because it merely expresses what I am quite sure the corporation 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 Manchester, and to the authorities 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.) .0 Mr. C.
