It appeared to him that there as I think I cal, was an almost unqualified regret throughout the countr • y at L the adoption e th e disastrous affair of Navarin,—an affair which had le purpose of e f , created dismay and astonishment. Those who had agreed ss..(H us , hear; to the treaty, were placed in a dilemma from which they Its begun in tt could not extricate themselves, because the necessary con ag as I know, ' . sequence of that treaty, which he conceived to be impo this • Speech f' litic and unjust, was the deplorable event to which he had —that we she alluded.—(Hear.) —There would, he knew, arrive other ronest system ! times and opportunities for arguing this point ; but when rich is so Lapps' it , formed so prominent a part of his Majesty's speech, when men at all, tuat speech seemed in some de g re e t o countenance the whom I am c o s transaction, he could not suffer the to p ic to he p assed b y i n eit composed' silence.

And had ids of the Hon" they not, by the treaty into which they had entered , vio :hose from who', lated that law? The Learned Gentleman argued that this ar.) I c a nnot ' was a contest for liberty. He (Mr. Bankes) contended roe part o f the si, sl to that it was no sach thing. The treaty was founded on a which I confect, , 4 0 . 941 false pretence,—the pretence of liberty and religion.

Member ex are it with Id Pressad at the termination of the Por his House sail tuguese question ; but his satisfaction arose from a very ar)— nor W il , different cause. He was glad t o h ear t h a t the British ecording to lit troops were about to leave the country ; but he was glad to hoar this, because be believed that th e y h a d b een e nti persons to 'rely or Church, successful in the object for which they were employed.— who has ace` ‘l 2 England was bound by trea t y to prevent any i n t er ference m-alone re .' of foreign powers with Portugal. He would not, on that t any indivis' evening, enter into any discussion of a further question and having whi c h had been brought forward—the merit s or credit of luded from the new Administration. He should not conce a l his short sht wish to opini on on th e su bj ec t: it was one u p on which he enter er tained considerable apprehension. He felt no confidence the Army, whatever i n th e present Administratio n ; but h e would not titutional gr ° , Ire Nobility, °, state his reasons for that want of c onfidence until the par if the power tics who composed it were present in their places. Under Marquis, o r these circa stances it would not be ne cessar y for him (the i is not nay 14 Noble Lord) to occupy the attention of the House any old, is ans 4, longer ; but he distinctly added his protest to that of hi s ise whoever • Hon. and Lea rned Friend near him, against that part of s alone realS if} the Royal Speech which cast censure upon the conduct of ntment, wbe i the Officer who had commanded at Navarin. or COO& Lord PALNIERSTON agreed that it would be inexpe ter ; if he i9, 4 ;', . dient to enter at present into length upon many subjects Constitut i , ,o , which had been started in the course of the present even mode in whir,. „in., ing ; but there were one or two points among the observe y the Minv,o, , t , iii tions which had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman on the im. It is t li t ) '• - *tst. other side which his duty to the House would, not otios e ' id! , • try, how O s 0a • s • him to pilSl , unnoticed. 'The Hon. and Learned M e mber te a o Compensa tier , wi n ~ - on the opposite bench (Mr. Brougham), who had part ! none. I , ‘ si parti cularly taken objection to the Address, seemed to think it ;xaggerate. 1 5 „.."- objectionable, because it containe d certain e x p r e ssions, this count r irlo ,VIASS- amounting to disapprobation, of a late important occur than the t i l 1 ss , s ti' recce. Now he could not but think that it woulal have been rime Mio i ?,e ~ ' a great fault on the part of the Administration, if they hair d though, n5,,,r . ' . omitted to touch, in the Royal Speech , upon a topic of so dto that tP ' much public interest. And he was ready to admit that it A vald have been improper in the mover or seconder to ' call upon the House to sanction any Address, which would have committed the Hons.. , upon any question of national or general importance. But surely a very little of that critical examination which no man was more capable than the, Honourable and Learned Gentleman op posite of employing, would convince both him, and the Honourable Members who voted with him, that there was nothing in the present address which committed the House to any policy at all. The address only thanked his Ma jesty for the communication which he had been pleased to make, and did not commit the parties who supported it upon any circumstance whatever. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had a peculiar pleasantry and humour in his attacks, which made there amusing even to those at whom they were most particularly pointed ; but he certainly had not displayed good taste in the manner in which he had been pleased on that evening to advert to the military cha racter of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The claims which that Noble and Gallant puke had established to the gratitude of this country, stood upon a basis too firm to be shaken by any taunts or censures from individuals. But there was one question upon which he was glad to be able to relieve the alarms of the Hon. and Learned Gentle man himself : the military office formerly held by his Grace would not be united to the political. The Noble Duke had tendered to the King his resignation of the office of Commander-in-Chief, at the same time when he had accepted that of First Lord of the Treasury ; and although no successor to the post was yet appointed, the House might consider the resignation as accepted—the Duke of Wellington would cease to be Commander-in-Chief from the present time. Therefore, it was to be hoped that the fears of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman would cease : his apprehensions of the dangerous con sequences of military patronage, civil patronage, and church patronage, being united in one individual ; what ever danger there might be i❑ such an event, the House might be assured it was not going to occur. Another objection taken by the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman to the present Prime Minister was, that his habits and experience had been military, and not civil. But the Hon. Gentleman himself had admitted, that in the speech in which the Noble Duke, with an honourable modesty, had disclaimed the possession of talents such as should qua. lily him for the first situation in the country—that the very terms and manner in which that disclaimer was made, showed that the modesty of the speaker far underrated his own capacities. And surely the personal knowledge of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman himself must sufficiently instruct him that the whole of the Duke of Wellington's experience had not been confined to the army. The House at least would know that there had been scarcely an important transaction in Europe for the last fifteen years in which the Duke, at home or abroad, had not directly borne a part. Therefore, the Honourable and Learned Member could not surely recollect what had actually been the case, when lie spoke of the service and experience of the Duke of Wellington as having been entirely military. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, however, was pleased to state, that lie, for once, should prove a better tactician than the Duke ; and that he had got him into a dilemma, from which it was impossible for him to escape. Now he (Lord Palmerston) denied the existence of any dilemma; there was no dilemma at all. The Honourable and Learned Member said, that the Speech pronounced a con demnatii )n upon the battle of Navarin. He (Lord Pal merston) asserted that it did not do so; that it censured or condemned nothing. It contained no censure upon the treats , which had produced the battle, nor any blame of the Admiral who had commanded in it. The Speech said that the battle was " unexpected ;" and certainly there could be no doubt it had been so. Because, although some collision might have been expected, yet the affair of Navarin arose in a wa.y which could not be expected. It had arisen out of a combination of circumstances which could not be fore seen ; and therefore it must have been a collision entirely unexpected by the Government. He thought it impossible that his Majesty could be advised to allude to a battle taking place under such circumstances, without regret,—a battle, speaking without the smallest condemnation of it, which had nevertheless taken place between his fleets, and the fleets of a country with which we were not at war, but with which indeed we were absolutely on terms of alliance. The expressions used had not been meant as any reflection upon the conduct of the Admiral commanding, and could not fairly be so construed. The honours sent out to the Gallant Admiral were a sufficient proof of this ; those testi monies alone proved that his skill and gallantry were sufficiently appreciated. The Gallant Officer still con-.. tinned in his situation of high and important trust. Did, Honourable Members believe that this could be the case, if the Government felt it fit that any censure should be passed upon him? No censure was meant, nor was any expressed, and therefore the dilemma into which the Hon. and Learned Member proposed to involve the Duke of Wellington, was wholly without existence. The Hon. and Learned Member's apprehensions were not confined either to the treatment of the victors in the late engagement, or the combination of power in the person of the Duke of Wellington. He feared for the general and internal wel fare of the state, and trusted that the new Ministry were not going back into that system of home or com mercial policy, which he believed to be adverse to the interest of the country. Nothing could be more rills • chievoul or more improper than to declare beforehand what were the intentions of any Administration ; but when the House found the same Member at the head of Foreign Affairs who had held that situation in the ministry of Mr. Canning, the Hon. Member for Liver pool continuing to be Minister of the Colonial Depart ment; and the present President of the Board of Trade still charged with the direction of the commercial system, there was no reason surely to anticipate that any of these persons would depart from the principles upon which they had already conducted their offices, and which had met, almost universally, with approbation and support. He said only—" judge of the Government by its measures," not by any description from indivi duals of what those measures really were to be.— It was according to the course only which it actually and effectively pursued, that the new Government asked the ap probation of the House or the confidence of the country. To pass Irons the opposition of the Hon. and Learned Member on the other side, the Hon. Member for Corfe Castle inquired, whether we were at war or at peace with Turkey ? Certainly we were not at war with Turkey. Our Ambassador had quitted Constantinople ; but no change had taken place in our policy. Therefore, in fact, we were still at peace. With respect to our situation with Greece, he would merely say, that the treaty and protocol were before the House, but it was not intended by Ministers at present to found any motion upon them. It would be remembered that the negotiations connected with the treaty were not yet ended. There was no reason to believe that they would be ended, otherwise than to the advantage of the country ; but it was possible that discussion might ope rate to the prejudice of their conclusion. If, subject to this consideration, therefore, it was thought advisable to bring forward any motion, Ministers would be prepared to meet it; but none would originate at present with themselves. One other observation of the Hon. Member for Corfe Castle he could not pass without notice—he alluded to that which had been said on the subject of the affairs of Par tugal. The Hon. Member had stated and repeated, that the British expedition had been sent to Portugal in order to interfere with the internal arrangements o.ychat country.— He denied this : he said that the expedition had been sent out to fulfil the treaty of this country, by defending Por tugal from external attack. lie did not mean to say but that Le was gratified by the course which affairs had taken in Portugal. It was satisfactory to see that country with something like a representative form of government,— satisfactory, although it were only because be believed that our relations with every state were made more firm and safe by the admission of the people generally to some share in government, or at least by giving the public voice its power of full expression. The Noble Lord sat down by stating, that he had now done his duty, by replying to a few observations which had fallen from Honourable Members on the other side, and to which he thought some answer was neces sary. For himself, he would observe that rule which had already been too far broken for general convenience d ur i n g the present evening ; he had deprecated discussion, and he would not occupy the time of the House by indul ging in it. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that one word in explanation, however far he had gone in discussion. was necessary. The Noble Lord opposite had endeavoured to make it appear that h e had held lightly the military reputation of the Duke of Wellington. Now he asked every member of the House, without exception, whether the words which he had used had been not only entirely free from any such construction, but whether they did not bear an entirely opposite construc tion ? H e entirely agreed in the Noble Lord's proposition, that what h e said could not matter to the Duke of Wellington. All Europ e was aware of the Noble Duke's talents and de serts, hut it would matter considerably to him, if h e should be supposed so utterly foolish as to have uttered any senti ments but those of respect and gratitude to the Duke fur the military servi ces w hi c h h e h a d performed to this coun try. Did not the Noble Lord himself reco llect his (Mr. gone o ut of his way to remind the Brougham) having House that he himself; in that House, over and over again, when those persons with whom he was connected by party had been disposed to hang back, had absolutely urged the Government to place larger means at the disposal of the Duke of Wellington? What he had said on the present evening itlrA in dratving the line between the positions of a Finance Minister and a Commander-in-Chief. If saying that the Duke of Wellington was not qualified to be a Finance Minister was attacking his military reputation, those who took it to be so gave an original meaning to words, and one which, in the ordinary usage of society, they would not bear. Lord JOHN RUSSELL defended his Hun. and Learned Friend near him (Mr. Brougham) from the imputation of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Palmerston), and protested, for the general benefit of the House, against a style, in af fairs of business, which dealt less in argument than in de clamation. lie (Lord J. Russell) recollected, that when the Duke of Wellington, in the last Session, had proposed a clause extremely inconvenient to the interests of the coun try, relative to the warehousing of foreign corn--when that clause was afterwards commented upon, and objected to by several Members, it was said,—how can gentlemen possi bly make an objection to this clause, when they remember that this very day is the 18 th of June , the anniversary of the day on which the Duke of Wellington gained the battle of Waterloo ? Now he felt great thanks were due to the Duke for having gained the battle of Waterloo, but, neverthe less, the clause about the corn was a very injurious one to the country ; and he protested against the practice hereafter, that, whenever the Duke of Wellington should propose any very objectionable operation, or make any financial blunder, as a Prime Minister, that the House should be met with a reference to his military services. The Duke of Welling ton having placed himself in a civil capacity, must submit to he judged of in that capacity. He (Lord J. Russell) could not help thinking that those very habits of command which had been most befitting the Noble Duke in his mili tary station, and to which much of his success probably had been owing, were likely to prove most objectionable and dangerous in the situation of the first Minister of a free country. Neither was he entirely satisfied by the state ment which the Noble Lord opposite had made on the sub ject of the command of the army. He must know how that situation was intended to be filled, before he should be convinced that some part of the patronage of it would not still remain at the disposal of the Duke of Wellington in his new capacity. He admitted that it was fair to wait for the measures of the Ministry before the House decided upon its character. He saw symptoms of danger in the formation of the Government, but he would not make up his mind definitively until he saw it act. There was one point which would come under its consideration, and which he would just mention, not less on account of its vital importance, than because it had not been noticed by any of the Hon. Members who had spoken before him—be meant the condition of Ireland. No Government should have his support, which did not adopt measures to improve the situation of that country. On the point again of the affair of Navarin, be regretted the phrases used in the Speech. He was bound to take the meaning of the words from the account of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Pal merrton) ; but certainly, if they were not meant to inti mate that the Gallant Admiral who fought that battle had fought it without instruction and unadvisedly, they were the most unlucky words for their real purpose that could possibly have been chosen. For himself, he believed the battle to have been a glorious victory, and a necessary con sequence of the treaty of London ; and moreover, as honest a victory as had ever been gained from the beginning of the world. With respect to the affairs of Portugal, he congratulated the House upon the termination of that affair, and of the probable restoration to peace and security of our ancient ally. This last expression put him in mind of a rather ludicrous mistake which was commonly made in discussing the affairs of Turkey. Turkey was spoken of constantly as " our ancient ally." Now the fact was, that there had never been any alliance between Turkey and this country prior to 1799 ; and it was not twenty years since, Mr. Arbuthnot had been compelled to fly private l y from Constantinople, from the fear that his personal safety would be endangered by a violation of the ordinary rights of Ambassadors. Mr. CALCRAFT rejoiced to hear the Noble Lord's (Lord Palmerston's) explanations of the phrases in the Speech. He had always thought it impossible that they should be meant to bear the construction which some of his Hon. Friends hail put upon them. Lord NORMANBY declared that he had no confidence whatever in the present Government. Lord PALMERSTON then moved that the House should adjourn till Thursday next. The House accordingly adjourned at 20 minutes past seven o'clock. DOVER ELECTION. DOVTR, JAN. 29.—The elevation of our late Member, Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, to the peerage, by the title of BarOn Skelmersdale, has occasioned a vacancy in the re presentation, which will according to present appearance be the source of another contested election at this place. Mr. Halcomb, the unsuccessful candidate at the last elec tion, immediately offered himself, and has been actively engaged iu canvassing the freemen. He is supposed to have a tolerable strength in the town, but the out-dwelling voters, in consequence of the recent attempt to deprive them of their elective franchise, are considered generally opposed to his pretensions. Mr. William Henry Trant, who re presented Oakh'impton in the last Parliament, is also a candidate, and having in addition to the feelings of the out dwelling voters, the support of the Treasury, and the Lord Warden, with very considerable individual support in the town, there is every reason to expect he will be the suc cessful candidate. A contest for Dover is rather a fearful concern. At the last election 1,067 in-dwellers, and 610 out-dwellers polled, and it was calculated that about 300 voters remained unpolled. It is mentioned here to-day that Mr. Trant is also a candidate for a seat in the East India Direction. FOREIGN IiNTELLIGE.NCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France of Jan. 28.) " FROM THE RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JAN. 6. " The interior of the Empire presents a great military spectacle, which calls to mind the critical days of the years 1811 and 1812. The armies are leaving their quarters, and are replaced by other troops. To judge by appear ances, it would be believed that something more was in view than the mere pacification of Greece, and yet we hear of the perfect agreement of all the Cabinets parties to the treaty of London, and of the assurances of those Powers who have remained neutral, that they would do every thing to induce the Porte to give way, and that if their exertions should be fruitless, and a military occupation become necessary, they would observe the strictest neutrality. This excites serious reflections in many persons, as our financial system, which begins to go very favour ably under the Administration of M. Canerin, seems not to permit of any extraordinary disbursements without very good reasons. They ask wherefore these exertions ? Who will pay the expences if all these proceedings are to be in strict conformity to the treaty? It is said, indeed, that a convention has lately been signed at London, be tween our Cabinet and England and France, according to which the Russian army is to support the demand of the three Powers by land, while the combined squadrons blockade the Dardanelles. But we do not know on what this account is founded, and how far it has provided for every possible event, whether it retains the prin ciples of the treaty of the 6th of July, or whether it speaks of reciprocal indemnities for the expences of the war, of cessions of territory, or of other in demnities as is usually stipulated in such important conventions. Even should the Porte now yield, and its obstinacy so far have only rendered it necessary to snake a change in the positions of the army, this alone would be a sufficient reason to claim an indemnity. This question be comes more important if an actual war should take place, the success and duration of which nobody can calculate. The cause of the Greeks, however calculated to excite interest, cannot call for a forced contribution which would be occasioned by the motions of the armies. We should have paid dearly fur the peace with Persia, notwithstanding the cession of territory, had not General Paskewitsch ob tained IS millions, which partly meet the expences of the war. What large disbursements must a campaign against the Turks occasion, where greater efforts are necessary than in the late war with Persia." The Duchess of KENT and the Princess FEonoRE visited the Duchess of CLARENCE yesterday, at residence in the Admiralty. The Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied by the Princess CARor.Ant, honoured the performance of the Critic, at Drury lane Theatre, with her presence yes terday evening. Mr. HERRIES arrived in town yesterday from his seat at Moutrail. The Right Hon. Gentleman had an interview with the CHANCELLOR of the ExcuEguga, , t at his office in Downing -street. BRILLIANT Fox CllASE.—Colonel Jo- LIFFE'S hounds met on the 24th instant, at the Sun lon, Crawley ; threw off at Cuck s tield, and found in Bolney Wood, The fox took through the parishes of Hurst, Linfield, Hewartsworth, Baleomb, and Worth, a distance of at least 35 miles, and after a run of two hours and twenty minutes, he was killed in gallant style near Worth.

In an Extra Second Edition last night we were enabled to give the speeches of the Mover and Se conder in both Houses, as also a general sketch of the Debate up to the period of adjournment. From the lateness of the hour it was impossible even to correct the Press, or to give the speeches with the same fulness and accuracy as in to-day's impression; but judging that our friends in the country would be anxious to know the result of the first night's Debate—we sent Expresses, as on some former occasions, to overtake the mails, though they had a start of nearly an hour and a half. The term "untoward event" being applied in the Speech to the late affair at Navarin, gave rise to all the discussion which took place. It was regarded by some as a proof that our Foreign Policy was to be changed, and that Turkey was again to be bolstered up into an indispensable Ally, and protection for our Eastern possessions. For our own parts, we really cannot regard the epithet in that light, and do think it a fair enough term, on such an occasion, for a collision attended with such a tremendous loss of human life—and not preceded by the usual formality of declaring war. Many men may rejoice in the event, who, in so grave a document as the KING'S Speech, would object to demonstrations of triumph at a de parture from precedent, which is only justified by the stern necessity of the case. All, however, bore honourable testimony to the gallantry and unim peachable conduct of Sir E. CODRINGTON, and from the tone assumed by Lords LANSDOWNE, GODERIk.II, and DUDLEY, we are satisfied that the most fastidious will be soon convinced that the destruction of the Turkish fleet was an act justifiable in the sight of GOD and man. It will be perceived that the Duke of WELLING TON has given notice that the Corn Bill of last year is to be introduced during this Session—and, indeed such is the aspect of affairs, that the Times of to-day, in a very able and temperate article talking of the late Administration, asks, " But why being thus applauded, has it gone out ?" We are unable to answer this question ; but, if there be such an amalgamation on the part of his Grace and Mr. PEEL with those professing the principles of Mr. CANNING, we truly rejoice in the event, with out inquiring the cause ; it being a matter of indifference to us who are in power, so long as they follow that enlightened policy to which only, and not to indi viduals, we feel ourselves irrevocably pledged. The Members of the new Cabinet will find the Ultras of each side endeavour to create dissension— by lauding them respectively, as if they were the Champions of opposite principles ; but we are confident that these individuals, in accept ing place, have agreed to lay aside all differences of opinion, and to act with that unity which can alone ensure success to the Councils of a Nation. The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Gazette de France dated Monday, have been received. The principal article of their contents we have inserted elsewhere. It says that the interior of the Russian Empire presents a great military spectacle, which calls to mind the critical days of theyears 1811 and 1812. In Poland, too, military preparations seem to - be the order of the day, but all these are supposed to be merely measures of prudence on the part of Russia, in the event of Turkey resorting to hostilities, which does not seem at all likely under pre sent circumstances, and the conciliatory tone of his MAJESTY'S Speech relative to the battle of Navarin. We feel convinced that the PORTE will see ate propriety, if not the necessity, of yielding up its dominion over Greece, and thus remove all cause for hostilities. If peace b. the natural state of society, it must be the interest of nations to cul tivate it. Dutch Papers of the 26th inst., just received, possess little interest HAGUE, JAN. 24. In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States Ge neral to-day, a Message front the King was received, ac companying a project of law, proposing that, on account of the increasing population of the kingdom, the period of ex emption from the land-tax, fixed by the law of the 23d Nov., 1798, for new buildings, be extended, with a view to encourage building. It was ordered to be printed, for the use of the Members. The First Chamber sent several messages, stating that it had agreed to eight laws, sent up from the Second Cham ber during the present Session. Among these were the Budget for 1628, the augmentation of the Loan for the East India Colonies, &c. Petitions were presented from a great number of communes against the intended division of the kingdom into arrondissements and cantons. Besides these, many petitions were presented against the proposed changes in the Tariff of Customs.

The operations in the English Funds, today, have, upon the whole ; been on an increased scale, and more acti vity has been shown than we have had to note for some time. Consols opened at 65i 86, both for money and account, reached 86, buyers for a moment, but have sub sequently receded to 85i Z, the present price. Not the least variation has taken place in the premium on India Bonds and Exchequer Bills; the former are 91 93—the latter, 60 61. Such is the abundance of money in the City, that hills of a certain estimation are eagerly caught at to discount at two and a half per cent., and the parties express their obligations for allowing them to give you cash in lieu at this discount. In the Foreign Funds there is little of importance to state.

At six o'clock, yesterday evening, the Friend s and Stu dents of this Institution, to the number of a hundred, sat down to a splendid dinner at the Albion Hotel, Alders gate-street. Dr. Clutterhuck took the Chair, and was supported on his right and left by several distinguish e d Practitioners. Among whom were Mr. Tyrrell, Mr. Bransby Cooper, Mr. Calloway, Mr. Bennett, Dr. Birk beck, Mr. Scott, and several others. The cloth having been withdrawn, and the health of the King, and all the Royal Family, having been drunk, the President, in a short speech, expressed the high gratifica tion he felt in not only being connected as a teacher with this Institution, but on being called on this occasion to take the Chair. He had ever felt the most earnest solicitude for the prosperity of the school ; the hopes he had entertained of its usefulness, had in a great measure been realised ; lie had now not a doubt that the most b9n,ncial results would he distributed throughout the community in consequence of this Institution; and, as far as regarded himself, no exertions should ever i.e wanting to benefit the pupils and further the interest of all connected with the , e l lool.—(Much applause.)—He now proposed the health of Mr. Frederick Tyrrell, whom he thought he mil ht call the Founder of the Institution, and who was the anatomi cal and surgical lecturer of the school. Mr. TYR-ernes health having been drank with enthu siasm, be ackuowledeed the honour that had been dune him. He could not help confessing himself to be the fat:ier of this babe, which, in its progress to maturity, and in the expectations it held out of diffusing the most beneficial results to mankind, by qualifying young men to relieve the sufferings of the afflicted, in the most scientific and judicious manner, bad, in fact, exceeded his most sanguine expectations ; and Le entertained not the slightest doubt that this son of his would, in the midst of prosperity, lay his father's grey hairs in the silent in theti most grav important e. —(H ear,hear. assistance) He,irohm theowevu ' had teachers received other school, but the merits of these gentlemen were so well known both to the students and the public, as to require but little eulogy from him. Had he been ever so ansiotiat to have made a change, he was confident he vouid re t have obtained more scientific assistance than he hat,' rendered to him, and to those who flocked tc. that Institution for instruction, than was aff,ided, by his present coadjutors, particularly the worthy Pre-, sident, the Demonstrators, Messrs. Quain sad Couleare, and Mr. Cooper, the chemical lecturer.--(Hear, He had embarked a great deal of his fortune in rais ing this Institution ; he had devoted the greater part of his time to it, and he had fully deter mined that no circumstance short of death should impede his fostering the growth of his son to full maturity. A report had been circulated that this son of his bad been sick, and that it was art articukt mortis, but which he was sure his friends around him could nut now but decidedly contradict, from the overflowing room in the midst of which he stood, and the enthusiastic manner in which his name had been received by that assembla g e of friends, ?it be rather chose to call them than pupils, and for whom he cherished the most affectionate regard.—(Great applause.) The health of the Demonstrators was vest dank, three times three. Mr. QUAIN, on behalf of himself, as well as on tiv,t. of his friend and colleague, considered the ruaaaet in which the toast had been drank, and the re.- _ marks with which it had been proposed, demanded e. warm acknowledgment, and a full expression of the sense they entertained of the cumpliment it implied. To be es ciated in any undertaking with those whose acquire .. ments and character were such as to command individual respect and consideration, could not fail to awaken. feelings of honest emulation, at the same time it left a constant stimulus to exertion ; but to be associated with such men in the business of public instruction might fairly be esteemed an 'insurable distinction.—(Applause.) hatever responsibility attached to such an association, whatever the difficulties might he that arose cut of the duties it imposed, they were considerably lessened by the spirit that animated, and the conduct pursued by, those who were tow assembled before him. They were, it was true, engaged in prosecuting their studies at what vas termed a mediae; school, but they no longer considered themselves merely. as pupils, but as professional gentlemen, assembled for a common purpose—(applause), and who, frotti a sense of the seriousness of the duties they bad to dis- , charge, as well as of the importance of their pro fession to the community were resolved to devote the whole of the period allotted for their stay at the school is the acquisition of useful knowledge.—(Hear.)—lie was fully impressed with these sentiments, as he could truly affirm from a constant and daily intercourse with those •trontel him. When such principles were fully recognised and adopted as the rule of conduct, a marked change• at once took place in certain subsisting relations,—tilat of master and pupil merged in the far more agreeable one , of senior and junior, and in directing the progress of improvement, the seniors had only to lead, the juniors would assuredly follow ; and when by any public act it was shown that the seniors had fairly dischrrged their du:y, it was by far the best requital that could he conferred no the most acceptable; and indeed whatever the value of that expres sion might be considered in itself, it Lad been in no small degree enhanced by its leaving been conveyed through the I'resident on the present o ccasion.--(Peals of Applause.)—... The health of Mr. Cooper was given with three times three. Mr. COOPER entertained the most anxious desire for the welfare of the Institution, and had no small degree of gra tification in finding that his Lectures Lad been attended in the most solicitous manner by the pupils, and that they had improved under his endeavours to the utmost of his wishes. His exertions should nut be the first that would flag. 't he healths of Dr. Bill:beck, Mi. B. Cooper, Mr. Bennett, of Dean-street, Mr. Scott, surgeon of the Op.. thalmia Infirmary, and several others, were respectively drunk, who all neatly returned thanks. Though most of them might be considered as teachers in rival schools, yet so anxious were they for the prosperity of the Aldersgate-street School, that should ' the number of the pupils in the latter be increased at the cost or diminution of the former, instead of having any thing like an angry feeling, they would the more joyfully sur round the next anniversary table.—(Applause.) The health of the StUdents and Stewards respectively were drank, and the Teachers and Visitors ; and appro priate thanks returned by Messrs. Blount, Foote, Gatley, and Gradbridge, but the Parliamentary Debates prevent our giving the speeches in the full manner we otherwise should have done. During the evening several songs and g lees were sung by eminent singers, and the harmony of the evening k ept up till a late hour, with the most lively spirit and g oo d humour ; the arrangements having been conducted on th e best possible principle. ---- r transacted intention of liquidatin g all claims upon their n i a n l Lis. —2l:Lnc/tester M , i'curli• e ted Right hu,ine s H s f t n o o ie u r Colonialab 1 o E s fli E ce ): y F . m i t t.
