So with respect to the regeneration of mankind, and implanting in their minds the true principles of Socialism, the seed had been sown, and the storm could not uproot it. If any man despaired of the. future regeneration of mankind, let him learn from the school of experience. In times past was the steam-engine thought of ? and yet what could it not do ? Let them never despair of doing good, and bettering the condition of their fellow-creatures ; for " Thrice is he arm'd who hath his quarrel just ;" and as long as they had justice on their side, they need not fear.—(Cheers.) They were congregated together that day to honour one of the wisest and best of men, and resolve that society shall 0 purified of its errors aLid anomalies—(Cheers)—and by their love of :every thi r ,o - that was good and virtuous, and their detestation of eves thing that was vile and bad, they would be en abled to 14 - 0 forth until the whole world was regenerated. —(Cheers.) In conclusion, be trusted th a t th e U n i versal Community of _Rational Religionists would be the agents to obtain such a desirable state of things. Mr. BRADY, the Vice-Chairman, then proposed " Health and prosperity to the lecturers of both sexes of the Universal Community Society of Rational Reli gionists." It was unnecessary for him to say anything with respect to the talents of those individuals, as he was sure that all present must be aware of them. It was to them, next to Aeir worthy f a th er , th at they were in debted for the grea:. , progress they had made in the cause of Socialism. They had braved all the storms and reproaches of the world for the purpose of instilling into the minds of the country the true principles of Socialism. Mr. LLOYD JONES responded to the toast. The Social lecturers had applied themselves to remove the errors which existed among the people of whom they formed a part ; they were not like the missionaries of other societies—they had not been sent abroad to save the souls of the heathen—they were not sent to preach to the savage that which he did not understand—they were not sent to the Sandwich Islands to preach dogmas, that the natives could not understand. No, they had been kept at home, not for the purpose of converting the Pagan to the Christian religion, but to convert the man who called himself a Christian to the truth.—(Cheers.) In this they had succeeded to some extent,—thousands of those who thought they were wise, admitted that they had been in error, and that Socialism, as now explaioetl, was the true Christianity, —was the real and rational reli gion, that could only lead to peace and happiness. The Social missionary did all in his power to better the con dition of his fellow -men ; but the missionaries who were i sent into foreign parts, instead of healing, created divi sion and strife—(Cheers)--end while ;the foreign mis sionary was converting parties abroad, the Social mis sionary was converting those they had left at home. They had heard, now and then, of the savage being con verted by the eloquence of some of the missionaries • but while they heard of suc h thi ngs, t h ey had also heard: of facts which, if they had taken place in a Pagan land, would have been ascribed to the Pagan religion ; but when such things took place, as he could mention, in a Christian land, it could only be attributed to the bad state of society. The foreign missionary drew half a million a year to enlighten the savage (Hear, hear)—while a most dreadful state of things existed at home. The missionaries of the Socialists, however, were determined to put an end to such a state of things. It was true that in accomplishing the task they had much to contend against ; but he had no doubt that they would be successful, backed as they were by a reasoning people. That Socialism was strong, there needed no stronger proof than that Churchmen were dismayed. Their fears were the truest signs of its strength.--(Hear, hear.) They had had a series of bug bears with which to frighten the babes in grace by whom they were surrounded. First, there was Unitarianism-- that was a very dreadful thing.—(Hear, hear.) From that they passed over to Deism and to Atheism, and now it was said that thousands of the people were running after Socialism. It was whispered one to another, like the cholera, of which the people were afraid to speak. Every effort was taken to prevent its increase. Socialism, how ever, must go on. It would speak through the fears of their wives and children ; it would be heard ultimately in their own minds; and the Rational religion would be come the universal religion—the Catholic religion—the religion which would unite all hearts, make all of one family, dwelling together in peace and happiness.— (Cheers.) He was glad that on this occasion the services of the ladies had been associated with those of the gentle men. The force of truth was mighty, and in spite of every opposition, must prevail ; but when truth came clothed in the voice of gentleness, nothing could with stand it. Women had the best opportunities for dis covering the evils of the present state of society. Let them, then, maintain their position. Let them with con-' fidence, but with moderation, diffuse the benefits of Socialism in their own country, and when they had done this, and not until then, let them confer the same benefits upon the heathen abroad.—(Cheers.) Mr. T. ROBINSON proposed the following toasts— " Prosperity to communities of united interest, without distinction of class, sect, party, country, or colour." It was easy to wish success to the cause, but they must endeavour by every means, in every action, at every moment to diffuse their principles. A better organization of the branches, and an increase of subscriptions were necessary, before their principles could be fully carried out.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that they would all redouble their exertions in the coming year. Mr. Rrony in supporting the toast, said the ground upon which these communities were founded, was one which must be obvious to all present. It was because England, said to be the most flourishing country in the world, was in the most deplorable condition. It was because those who produeed food were starving, those who produced clothing were in rags, and those who pro duced shelter for others were themselves destitute. They had been told by Lord John Russell and by Mr. Fielden, that the people of England were in a worse con dition than the emancipated blacks. How was this to be remedied ? Was it by individual competition ? They had had it in abundance. Was it by nation com peting against nation ? They had competed with the world. Was it by preaching sectarian doctrines? Eng land was more divided upon such subjects than any other nation in the w or ld. It was on l y b y uniting together for each other's good instead of each other's injury that this could be accomplished. They had purchased an estate in Hampshire for the purpose of testing their principles. In the first instance more went down to that estate than it was capable of support ing ; but that error had been corrected, and the commu nity was now in the most flourishing condition. That estate consisted of 600 acres of land, producing barley, wheat, potatoes, and turnips, and there were upwards of 129 cocks, hens, and chickens.—(Laughter.) Great in terest was felt in their movements by the persons resid ing in their neighbourhood ; and when they saw that they were gradually improving their land, and that their object was mutual benefit, many of the prejudices which they had first conceived • were removed. Not only farmers and landholders, but noblemen, who took part in Government affairs, hid visited and e xam i ne d th e i r community at Titherley. On leaving, they gene rally said, " Well, I am much pleased with all that I have seen, and I hope you will go on and prosper, but I must tell you that I don't agree with you." Of course it would not do to agree with them ; but he could tell that meeting when they would agree with them—namely, when they had shown the world that it was of no conse quence who agreed with them.—(Loud cheers.) On one occasion, when a meeting took place in that neighbour hood, the Magistrates received orders from the Duke of Wellington, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, tokeep a sharp look out and report progress. It *was twelve months since that order was given, and he thought it was quite time that his Grace should tell the country what was the report which the Magistrates had sent to him ; at all events they intended to petition the Duke to tell the world what it was that he had heard about them. If the Magistrates had reported correctly, they would have told him that the Deputy-Governor had sat in the parish church, and had conducted the parish business in the most fair and impartial manner. He was not one who NI: ould wish to disorganise any state of things ; in deed no good Socialist would ever attempt to disorganise the state of society until he could substitute in its place a better one. After the greater part of the business had concluded, one of the Churchwardens came up to him and stated that he had something which he wished to bring before the meeting. The Clerk of the Church, he said, had applied to him for an increase of his salary. He (Mr. Rigby) asked the Churchwarden how much the clerk's salary was ? and he was told that it was 50s. a-year—(Laughter) —and that he wanted it increased to 3/. Now he (Mr. Rigby) as Chairman, had no power to grant the request, and upon the sub ject being stated to the meeting,one individual said he would oppose any increase in the salary of the clerk, and, upon being asked• the reason of his opPosition he said th a t w h en his grandfather and father wer e a li v e , the salary was only 505., and he could not therefore con sent to its being made more now. Now, that man he (Mr. R.) called a true Conservative. He (Mr. R.) then asked what the clerk had to do, and he was told that he, had to attend the service twice every Sunday, that he had also to cl ean t h e church, and to brush the yard.— (Laughter.) He (Mr. R.) then asked the individual who opposed the increase of the salary, whether he should like to do the same duties for a similar sum.—(Cheers.) He hesitated for a few minutes, and he then said, " Well, if no other person has any objection to the increase, I have none." The salary of the clerk was raised, and that too at a meeting over which he, a Socialist, presided. The Duke of Wellington, therefore, need not fear that those who wer e ca ll e d infidels, would not increase the salary of th e clerks of churches ; indeed, th e y wou ld even i ncreas e_ the the salaries of the p arsons if th ey wou ld o truth.—(Great cheering.) Some of them,n speak he was happy to say, were beginning to speak the truth, and it really wasastonishing how vise they were (Laughter.) The people had begun to ge tting of late.— o feel that the lan guage of the Socialists was the language of truth, and that it went home to humanity.—(Cheers.) found out, also, that the Social system was They had true Chris tianity- ; but then, it was said, the infidels got hold of it first..—(Laughter.) There were plenty of Social So cieties springing up—indeed, if he was correctly in formed, the Bishops in this country werebeginning to take up the cause, for they had found out if they did not, there would soon . . be en end of Bishops . altogether. He bad no hesitation in saying that the period gas not far distant when Socialism rod succeed, let it be called by whatever name it might.—(Cheers.) The parties who opposed it might send their agents to Highbury barn to distribute tracts against it ; but they would find LONDON, WEDNE6DAY, JUNE 2, 1841 R OYAL POLYTE CHNIC INSTITU TICK N.

At a Public Meeting of the Inhabitant Householders of this Parish, held in the Fe re-court of the Workhouse, on Tuesday, the Ist day of June , 1841—" To take into considera • tion the propriety of petitio ni ng Parliament for the immediate and total Repeal of the Cc re—laws ;" Mr. Churchwarden JAY in the Chair The following Resoludo] Is were unanimou s ly carried That the Repeal of the Corn-laws is indispensably necessary to enable all classes to i:lealise the benefit of open markets throughout the world, to . purchase corn at the cheapest rate the skill and industry of man and the bounty of Providence will permit.

The grand annual - 1 -11"—;-- estival commemoration of the 70th birth-day of Robert Owen, the philanthropist, and the sixth Annual Congress of the Universal Community of Rational Religionists, was celebrated yesterday at the Highbury Barn Tavern, by a dinner, tea, and ball, at which from 1,000 to 1,200 persons were present. The proceed ings of the day were commenced with a grand overture and a procession round the grounds. After which Mr. SotrinwELL, a missionary from Birmingham, ad dressed the ladies and gentlemen assembled on the green, near the large room, where the dinner took place, to nearly the following effect .—My dear Friends , and Brothers and Sisters in the great cause of Socialism— (Cheers)—The earth has run its annual course since we het met in this pleasant spot for the purpose of stating the progress we had made, and also to enjoy the feast of reason and the flow of soul. They had met to-day (conti nued Mr. Southwell) under most interesting circumstances. As they were going to have a good dinner, he hoped all would have a good appetite. He had just left Man chester, and he was happy to•say that their cause there was prospering admirably. Their opponents were doing all they could to put them down, and Mr. Brindley had stated that if he did not put the whole of them down in nine months he would suffer himself to be tarred and feathered.—(Laughter.) They were still, however, thank God, loving Socialists ?. but if they were not, he thought he might truly say there was more strength in their ghosts than their bodies.—(Laughter.) They were met there that day to give vent to their free thoughts, and to enjoy themselves rationally—they had met there to state the progress they had made, and the progress they were likely to make.—(Cheers.) They lived in eventful times, in times when all men were called upon to play most important parts. It was necessary that he should call the attention of those assembled around him to politics, as they were at this moment every man's business, because the statesmen ort both sides • Were playing their last trump card for office. At the present moment the machine of Government was at a dead lock, and neither Whignor Tory would do any thing for the benefit of the people. The time had arrived when the co-operative principle must be adopted ; instead of that principle which set nation against nation being made paramount they must adopt that principle of action on whose banner was inscribed, "Each for all and all for each."—(Cheers.) There was a great deficiency in the revenue in consequence of a profuse and increased expenditure, and with Whigs, Tories, Socialists, and Chartists, money was the sinews of war. He had no wish to make that a political meeting, but let them re member that the weakness both of Whigs and Tories was the real strength of the people.—(Hear.) They had been told repeatedly during the past year that the social body were averse to discussion, that in peace they were as bold as lions, but in war as timid as hares. Facts were stubborn things, and there were abun dant facts to prove that the reverse was the fact. He had recently attended a meeting of the Manchester Town Mission, having had reason to sup pose that certain statements would be made injurious to the character of the Socialists. Those statements were made ; and, singularly enough, by a gentleman to whom ho had previously applied to hold a discussion with him either in the public streets or within the walls of the Manchester Institution. This gentleman, not imagining that he (Mr. Southwell) was present and listening to him, said he had attended at the Social Institution with a little band of fdllowers, to challenge discussion, but they (the Socialists) were afraid of discussion ; and in order to prevent it had used physical force. The moral feelings of those who could utter such falsehoods were in the most lamentable condition, and he (Mr. South well) and Mr. Campbell rose and wished to put a ques tion relative to this mis-statement ; but the Chairman would not hear them. After several vain attempts to obtain a hearing, they wrote on paper a challenge to those parties who had made false and injurious state ments against the Socialists. Of this the Chairman took no notice. If they were to be put down at all it would not be by such Means, but by sound reason and argument adduced in the face of the people. That whatever was true must be triumphant was acknowledged by . all parties. They had nothing to fear from fair discussion. They desired to educate and improve the people ; they held that the great sources of human misery and degradation was poverty, and that the only remedy for the multifarious evils of society was to be found in a sound education, based on the principles of truth, and on deductions from innumerable facts relating to the great business of hu man life and to universal nature ; and with such objects, pursuing such ends, they must be successful. When they were tempted to find fault with the vices of society, let them ever remember that people were made to be what they were by the organisation given to them at their birth, and by the effects of circumstances acting upon them from their birth upwards. When they under stood this philosophy they would have the philosophy of philosophy.—(Hear.) Ho could not concha ic without pointing out the absolute necessity which existed for se parating the wheat from the chaff of socialism, its phi losophy from any mere speculative philosophy. It had been the custom of certain parties to mix the two to gether ; he referred, of course, to the clerical party; that party which, in country, as in all others, had been opponents of human improvement.—(Hear, hear.) Op ticians told them that, all bodies . upon which light was reflected became themselves luminous ; but the clergy were an exception to this universal law ; they had abun dance of light reflected upon them, but they did not shed its lustre around • and until the people should raise up teachers who should go forward boldly to speak the truth, they would never obtain that happy state of society to which they all looked forward. Let them.then separate the things of faith from the things of philosophy, specu lative dogmas from the truths of science ; morality would be found all sufficient, and morality could have no other basis but truth. They were charged with throwing down the bulwarks which kept back human corruption. Let those who made those charges be told that they had been tried and found wanting, that their system had pro duced famine, war, vice, and misery, and that they (the Socialists) proposed another system, giving to all parties the fruits of their labour, distributing the produce bene ficially for all, and a system based upon truth, and both in its principles and practices diametrically opposed to that by which society had been so greatly injured. At half-past two o'clock the company present, to the number of 450, half of whom were ladies, sat down to a plentiful and excellent warm dinner, Mr. W. D. Saul in the Chair. On the platform were Mr. Owen, on the right hand of the Chairman, Mr. and Mrs. Gulpin, Mrs. Bug den, Mr. and Mrs. Fleming, Mrs. Austin, Mr. and Mrs. Carrs, Miss Gracock, the Misses Pearson, Mrs. Glen fell, and several foreigners. A large and able body of professional singers were in attendance, and Messrs. Griffin, James, Benedict, & c ., after dinner sung the chorus of " Nature's Bounty" in a powerful and very pleasing manner. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, as loyal subjects, and as friends of social order, as well as good Sociali s t s —indeed none could impeach their loyalty, and never would have occasion to do so—they would therefore commence the toasts with the usual loyal one. The first was the health of the Lady who was placed " He also at the head of the administration o f afthirs— the Queen, the daughter of his Royal Highness the Duke Her Majesty's of Kent, the friend of the cause of Socialism. Joined to grateful to it, he would propose " Prince Albert, the Duke of Sus pro- r e meeting—h e ri rationalists ast s alluded by 13\s)eioxisne, Ministers." t e n t and or s join t . he rTlle,lisittehyotfirantsheemal toastslnoy things tihn F ag a ts m o i t l fo y , feel them for, but more especially for their endeavours to o t f ha s t uc t h hey a educate the people—(Cheers) — and even within the last few days they had made an attempt that was well de servingto their attempt to feed cheaply those who were pining in destitution.—(Cheers.) In a rational meeting like of the gratitu o d i e v wills sincerity but without noisy. ion of the Chairman attended to. that, he trusted they would not make the usual noise on such an occasion. They would stand up out of respect t t i o ri l i : ll gt t e o ctio s il tvo b i ae n Ts t itti s tt li t Chorus—" Hail smiling morn. The CHAIRMAN said on that happy festi ve occas i on, which he hoped .would be re peater; formany years to come, for it was his highest gratification to meet them ; they had met for the purpose of congratulating their ex cellent friend, on his 70th birthday, on the possession of health and strength of mind equal to that he displayed in his younger years.—(Cheers.) They would all loin with him in wishing health and prosperity to ..Robert Owen—(Cheers)—when they remembered the obloquy which had been thrown upon his exertions—when they had seen those exertions continued through good and through evil report—when they saw him rising in piers —when the time was fast approaching when they wouid see him no longer —but how would, then, his memory be revered not only in this country but in other nations.• They would join heartily in the toast. His life had in deed been one of most anxious labour and treuble, but at last it had been attended with success. The numbers present that day proved him to have been the most effec tive reformer that England had ever produced. Politi cal reforms sunk into the utmost insignificance when compared with the new arrangement of society which Mr. Owen had brought about, and without which becom ing general the happiness of mankind would never be fully accomplished. He knew they were all most anxious to see his views carried fully into effect, but how much were they indebted to the great perseverance of their Social father for the introduction of those principles, which would carry universal happiness to all mankind, without dis tinction of country, colour, creed, or class ? He had, during the period of his long life, been deeply ma ligned, but, knowing the truth of his own principles, lie laughed to scorn the shafts launched at him by unin formed bigots. He hoped many years would elapse before he was removed from the sphere he so nobly filled. He could praise him in energetic, but still ade quate strains, but he knew he would only distress his worthy friend ; he would, therefore, content - himself with hoping that all would leave that meeting with a full determination to follow the great, glorious, and noble example of their Social father. He would conclude with proposing, " Health and prosperity to Robert Owen, the great founder and father of Socialism." The toast was responded to with enthusiasm. Mr. OWEN rose and was received with much acclama tion. He felt deeply thankful to them for the manner in which they had received the toast. For the last three weeks he had been speaking from morning to night, but at that moment he really had nothing to say.—(A laugh.) Their worthy Chairman had said that there had been some interferences in his progress, and he would confine himself to that point. They all knew full well that his object and theirs was not merely the happiness of a class, or sect, or party, in any one country, nor was it confined to the inhabitants of any country ; his object had always been the happiness of the human race, now and during all coming ages, and to accomplish it, he knew it was necessary at the beginning of his career that he should determine that he would turn neither to the right hand nor to the left, until there was some prospect of his end being attained, or that he should sacrifice his life in the attempt.—(Cheers.) He had persevered without turning to the one hand or the other, until he had the gratifica tion of seeing that large assemblage around him. His worthy friend in the chair had said that he must ' have had many anxious moments ; he never was more mistaken in his life. He (Mr. Owen) had never suffered any anxiety at all. At his out , set in his Social career when he had not an individual thinking with him, he calmly and coolly looked at the justice of his principles, and conse quently the justice of the proceedings he contemplated. He was then well aware that former reformers, even those who had not attempted one tithe of what he con templated, had suffered persecution in fine, imprisonment, and even in death ; he saw all that before him. He 'never expected that he should have passed through life without suffering all these ; but instead of meeting those formid able obstacles, his path had been a flowery one.— (Cheers.) From an individual standing alone he had gone forth, and had been aided step by step by friends on all sides, until now that his new, extravagant, wild, mad notions had made almost all of the old world mad as well as themselves.--(Cheers and laughter.) Their mad ness was that of cool, calm, consideration.—(Cheers.) It was a madness that induced them to investigate the fundamental principles on which society was based, and to find out whether they were principles of nature, or whether they were founded in error and prejudice, By such an investigation they had found out the cause of all the misery existing in the world. Man, the noblest work of an incomprehensible Power, under the old sys tem, was said to be bad by nature. There never had been a greater libel spoken than that. Fortunately for themselves, and for all generations, he had lived to dis cover that man was good and excellent by nature.— (Cheers.) Why had such an error become so common as to make it an axiom that man was bad by nature ? Why, solely because man, throughout all past ages, had been badly educated ; that was the simple cause of all the misery which man had experienced from the beginning of the world. Were they and their children to be in structed in a proper manner, happiness must be their portion, but they might be instructed for thousands of years in the system of the old world and they would never know what charity and love for the human race meant. The Socialist principles alone could instruct man in the manner in which he ought to love our neighbours as ourselves, and to bear charity to the human race. It was well known that we had now fallen so low as to look at only what was agreeable to ourselves, and to dislike what was disagreeable ; but a change was rapidly taking place, and the time was not far distant when each would look upon his neighbour as himself. But to bring about that period—that happy and much longed-for period, they must adopt prompt and decisive measures, so to bring up the rising generation as to oblige them to love them. Hitherto we had had much of precept and but very little practice, but they had now come to times when they would have practice, and they would leave the precepts to others who knew not how to carry them into effect. He had just returned from a Congress held in Manches ter, which had been sitting for nearly three weeks, and there for the first time they had laid the foundation—a solid and immoveable foundation—for the success of those principles by the unity of all parties professing themselves the disciples of Socialism, which must succeed. Hereafter, when any one showed anger or in dulged in hasty or degrading language, let them at once say that that person is no Socialist, for with a knowledge of, and acting upon their principles, such conduct would be impossible.—(Cheers.) When they found love and affection for man, whatever his country, his colour, or his creed, there let them sing " Oh, be joyful!" for the time was then come when the old moral world would die, and they would be entering upon a now one, in which peace and good-will would predominate—a new world, in which charity would prevail—a new world, in which there would be no fear of poverty—a new world, in which all misery would disappear ; and in place of all these evils would arise a new combination of external circumstances in which poverty, disease, vice, crime, and misery, would find no cause for their pro duction.---(Loud cheers.) He had investigated the cause of each of these things, and he had found what they were, and that they could be removed from society ; and as soon as Socialists would unite and practice these principles, when he heard that the members of each branch were cordially united, when he heard that the branches acted in union with the Central Government, from a knowledge of their principles as Socialists, to for ward the good work, then would he know that the time was come when all those troubles would cease, when swords would be turned into . ploughshares, when every man would sit under his own vine and fig-tree, and there would be nothing on earth to make him afraid, for every one would be studying the happiness of his neighbour. Let them all leave the meeting with the determination on their minds that the happy period was near at hand.— (Loud cheers.) He was going on to say,—but he was a visionary, he was a ,madman, he was wild,—but still lie was going on to say that they had held within their own hands the means of obtaining that state of society which had been described under the ap pellation of the Millennium.—(Cheers.) They had land, capital, labour, and skill—they had all the materials that could be desired ; there was only one single ingredient wanted— that was unity amongst all. Be trusted that unity would become universal during the year. He would not detain them longer ; but with the kind per mission of his friends, he would propose the health of their kind friend the Chairman—might he live many, many years, and might he (Mr. Owen) be there to see him:—(Laughter.) The toast was drunk with applause, and The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and promised to be a Socialist for life, because he was one from conviction, and he would use his utmost endeavours to promote the objects of the Society. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Prosperity to the Universal Community Society of Rational Religionists throughout the World," which was drunk with applause. Mr. BocHesert said it afforded him much pleasure to see so many of both sexes assembled to promote a moral reform that must in a .very short time regenerate the whole world ; which must, before long, extir pate all ,the evils—the many evils which now existed in society. After highly eulogizing the charac ter and perseverance of Mr. Owen, he said that it was now impossible to put down the Society. In consequence of the late persecutions they had sent out many faithful and able preachers, who worked the whole seven days of the week; and they had:now Halls of Science in Manches ter built at an expense of 7,0001., another in Liverpool, which cost nearly as much; and they had balls in Hall-- fax, in Huddersfield, and many other places, built at an expense of 30,000/. Besides, they had an estate in Hamp shire upon which 5,0001. had already been expended, and 3,000/. more was about to be laid out ; and all that having been done by a Society of only five years' stand ing, showed that they had a strength that would enable them to combat with and beat all their enemies. In succeeding as they had through the last five or six years, they had much encouragement for the future, for they had done more than they could have expected when they took into consideration the giant pr eju di ces w i th which they had to battle.—(Cheers.) As Mr. Owen had truly said, the world was a great lunatic asylum, it was a field of error and crime so gigantic as to frighten the boldest mind from its propriety, and reduced man to the lowest state.—(Cheers.) Man was, by nature, cold and cruel, and required regeneration ; and those that did not acknowledge that there were errors in his nature, must be wild indeed.--(Cheers.) That regeneration it w as the business of the Socialist missionaries to endea vour to effect: and in that great work, . notwithstandia 7 tl:c difficulties that had :surrounded them, they had been eminently successful.—(Cheers.) The thorn might tear the branches from the tree, and scatter its foliage, but it could not destroy the seed, which would ger- ADVANTAGES OF TILTS ASSOCIATION.

If they only ace id with one heart and one mind, no p swer under Heaven .could put them down. Mr. FINCH also responded ter the toast.. The millen nium were now come—all things were now ready—and there wire only two requisites necessary for the full ac complishment of the principle they had in view ; those requisites were unity of principle wed unity in the pro ceedings of all the different branches I.sf the Society, an d the bringing forward of the cash.—(Ci,•eers.) Commu nities of united interest had existed all ages, and they had always been found to produce hakOiness among mankind.—(Cheers.) Mr. G. A. FLEMING said the Commitee of . Manage ment had entrusted to him the performance of a t. l iffieult and somewhat delicate task ; for such it was mit.'s by the prejudices of society, and by the obloquy whiet was attached to the name of Socialist. He had to per 'pose " Prosperity' and emancipation to the female portio e the human race." The toast was "Prosperity and e m en cipatioa." Emancipation from what ? .From social j 0- equalities ; from erroneous mental training ; frompoi. t e tied disabilities ; from those thousand influences which from infancy surrounded the female sex, which made their position so different from what under happier and fitter circumstances it would undoubtedly become. When Socialism was referred to in conversation persons would often say, " Oh, you mean a system for letting you hew, as many wives its you please and making them all in common." The ideet was that they were in favour not ef a community of goods but a community of wives. A more erroneous idea of Socialism could not possibly be entertained. If there was one party in the State the' ; desired more than all others to elevate and purify th female character that party was the Socialists.—(Hear Much as they desired to emancipate men from , and religious disabilities, they desired still mere tre'erdtly to elevate women to the same enjoyment and priiileg e s as themselves. The Chartists desired to enfranchise aislil men at twenty years of age ; one party propose d one thing, and another party another ; but neither i 'me g nised directly or indirectly, the existence of 'one-lit - 4f of the human race.—(Hear. hear.) Yet upon that half depended the moral training of mankind. If they do sired to have a free. moral, elevated people, they must ; not neglect to purify the fountain. One of the great iene fits conferred upon the Society by the aged and be; levo cot philanthropist whom they had met to honour', was that lie had claimed for woman full, free, and equ: a en joyment of all those privileges which belonged to her as a human being. When they saw their wives and et negh tees sitting down with them at their festive board, i eskeed of being altogether excluded or pushed into the gallery to see the Lords of the creation enjoy themselves-- (Loud laughter) there was a convincing proof afforded that the time was not far distant when institutions which would secure for woman the fall and equal exercise of all her faculties would be established all over the world. They had heard of the millennium. The millennium was come, when men assembled together in the broad light of day to proclaim their entire absolvency from all superstitious notions.— (Cheers.) Mrs. Minnie then rose to address the assembly. She said she was aware that she was at that moment ocupy ing a position which it was very unusual for women to occupy, and it might be expected by some that she should sa y something in defence of that position. She would. however, take it for granted, that the hearts of all pre sent ever.' as much alive as her own to the emancipation of the whale human race, and t a ki ng th at f or ranted, she was sure they would not wish that one disability should be laid upon her sex. If no other, why this one ? Why should they' not enter into those plans which were adapted to improve the understanding, or to amuse the passing hours of life If the human race should ever be improved, it would be by intermixing in all human actions those qualities which could not be found in one sex only, but must be sought for in both. She had grown up from infancy with high thoughts and strong hopes of an improvement in the condition of her sex. For a long time there she found none to sympathise with her. But three years ago a new sun broke upon her, and that was Robart Owen.—(Cheers.) On looking at the position of woman, he had seen that all remunerating employment was taken from her,—that all institutions for mental improvement were confined to males, and that even the morals of the female sex were of if different stamp to those of the male. She saw no remedy for this till she saw the remedy of Socialism. When all should labour for each, and each be expected to labour for the whole, then would women be placed in a position in which she would not sell her liberties and her finest feelings. Many were the schemes for improving men, but none were proposed for advancing the rights of women, and Socialism was opposed by a large class in society, because it would give to them independence, and release them from dependence upon the caprices of the other sex. When men remembered that it was upon their laps that they were nursed, that upon them they were dependent for a considerable portion of that advice and instruction which they received through life, they would see that it was only by purifying, and elevating, and ennobling them, that they could elevate, and purify, and ennoble their children. Did they call themselves politicians ? Did they set themselves up as moral teach ers? Did they profess to improve the human race ?—then let them secure the foundation, if they would not have the winds destroy the superstructure. Robert Owen had bound together the broken leaves of the volume. He had not dug for the quicksilver, but he had put it behind the glass, and he held the mirror. They had seen there the deformities which marked the present state of society, and they had seen the beauties with which nature intended to adorn both sexes. Let them take care that neither were hid from the world. They were a book read and known of all men ; and, notwithstanding the abominations which had been attributed to them, she trusted they wouldrone day be acknowledad as untarnished, go through ten thousand editions, and do good to every being of the human race. Mr. H. JEFFERY proposed, Success to the measures of the Annual Congress, and may we live to see a Social Congress of all the nations of the earth." When he thought of the magnitude of the object they had in view, and the great reforms they contemplated, he did not won der that they had done so little, but he was surprised that they had done so much. The moral effect of So cialism could hardly be defined, but no person could deny that its effects on the working classes had been wonder ful in the extreme.—(Cheers.) After seeing what had already been done by the Socialists, he was convinced that if they would only preserve union, and be deter mined to persevere, they must ultimately succeed.— (Cheers.) Mr. R. BUCHANAN responded to the toast, which was drank most enthusiastically. Mr. J. N. BAILEY then proposed the following toast The Press, particularly the New Moral World, the Ga zette of the Universal Society of Rational Religionist s, and the advocates of truth in all parts of the globe." It was impossible not to see the great advantages which had been conferred upon society by the press ; and ho had no doubt that when it should be unfettered from mercantile competition, it would be one of the greatest blessings that had ever been bestowed tipon men.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. G. A. FLEMING supported the toast in a speech of great power, in which he traced the progress and in fluence of the press from the invention of printing down to the present time, and expressed his belief that it would be yet more extensively beneficial. Dr. BLACK proposed a vote of thanks to the Chair man for so ably fulfilling the duties of his office on that occasion. Mr. J. A. FLEMING seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks. The assembly then retired. In the course of the evening the meeting was enlivened by several excellent glees and songs from professional singers who were in attendance. A ball took place after the meeting, and the festivities were kept up till a late hour. - -- SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS SPOKEN (TLIII. i_T OY lae D'S.
