MEETING AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. A very interesting and important meeting was held yesterday at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of receiving a deputation of the Council of the Society of Arts, which had been instructed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert to ascertain the feelings of the inhabitants of the city of London with regard to the proposed exhibition of arts and manufactures; and to take such further steps as might be deemed advisable for promoting that object. Some members of the deputation have already visited most of the large towns of England, Scotland, and Ireland—and have received a very general assent to the principle, all parties appearing to concur in the great value and importance of such an exhibitiont The meeting of yesterday took place in the Egyptian Hall, and shortly after twelve o'clock several hundreds of the leading manufacturing and commercial inhabitants of the city of London were assembled. The Lord Mayor, in whose name the cards of in vitation has been issued, presided ; and amongst the company present we observed the Governor of the Bank of England, the Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, the Chairman of the National Bank of Ireland, Deputy-Chairman of the London and County Bank, Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., John Masterman, Esq., M.P., the Worshipful the Lord Mayor Elect, Sir G.

The manure thus produzed ii dcemel by scientific men to be equal if n.t superior in quality to Guano, and may be I.urchased at one fourth of the cost of that well known manure. The Directors have established these facts at their own risk, having for some tam the past had at experimental Station at work at Derrymullem in the county of Kildare, where, in addition to having satisfied themselves that they can make Peat Charcoal and sell it in London with a satisfactory profit at from 40s. to 503. a ton, their operations have proved that if duly supported by the public, they will be able to employ conk.ta dly and most beneficially thousands of the half-starved : , nil half naked Irish peasantry. Tne system adopted and proposed to be acted upon by the Society in the employment of the labourers is task worth, with a fair remu neration in money ; and the Directors feel bound to state, that so far as they have bee.i enabled to carry out this system, they have experienced froxi the labourers a degree of industry, alacrity, and docility, for which they were totally unprepared, The people em ployed have by severe labour clothe]. themselves and their families, cultivated their patches of laud previously lying waste for want of seed, and in some cases have purchased pits ; and they say all they want to make them happy is constant employment. • The Directors earnestly appeal to the public for support : to those desirous of promoting the permanent welfare of Ireland, the oppor tunity is offered, by contributing to the funds of this Society, of open Ing up in that country a new field of useful and profitable labour, to which a limit can scarcely be assigned. Those who feel interested in removing from the densely popu lated towns of England the cause of pestilence and death, may fur ther that object in the only rational, because the only natural way, by assisting to provide the antidote. The aid of Agr,culturists is looked for, because the labours of this Society promise to render available to them millions of tons annually of the most valuable manure, now worse than wasted. ! - Tenry Rogers, E=q.

For full particulars personal application should be made at the counting-house department of the above firm, between the hours of Elevm and One. EINOVELTY for the approaching season is in preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116, and 120, Regent-street, and 22, Comilla, as also THE TREBLE Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65) in its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warm to a. light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate. THE NICOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND. IRELAND, SCOTLAND, and the COLONIES; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or abroad, of Messrs NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENTS, and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

Also for Nicoll' a Morning Coat, now in almost universal request for the Country, Riding, Walking, Seaside, &c. Shooting Jackets adapted for the I' doors, &c.

WINDING UP OF JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES. On Tuesday last petitions were presented to the Lord Chancellor and the Masters in Chancery, pray ing for orders absolute that the Kilbricken Silver Lead Mining Company, and the Tontine Life As surance Company, may be wound up under the pro visions of the Joint-Stock Companies Ace. The first is on the petition of Henry Crockford, of Queens ferry, in the county of Flint, holding 650 shares in the Kilbricken Mining Company, and who states that in 1846 several persons resident in England formed themselves into an association for working these mines, which are situated near Ennis, in the county of Clare. The proposed capital was 13,0001., in 1,300 shares of 101. each, to be paid by two deposits of 5/. The company, which was managed by a com mittee of three, was established in King-street, St. James's; and it was proposed, without any deed of partnership being executed, to work the undertaking on what is called " the cost-book" system, as it exists in Cornwall. The two deposits of 51. per share were duly paid by all the shareholders; but soon afterwards it was discovered that no company, unless formed for working mines in the county of Cornwall, can be carried on under what is 'termed the " cost-book" system, and, consequently, the Kilbricken Mining Company never was and never could be so carried on, the mines being situated in Ireland, where the Court of Stannaries has no jurisdiction. Subsequently two fur ther calls, one of 10s., and the other of 1/. per share,were made, but not being paid, aff2,irs became embarrassed. New shares were issued with the intention of trying some other sytem of working, but the conclusion was come to, that it was useless to proceed further, as the liabilities exceeded 2,2001., including judgments against the company for 7001. The lease, assets, and materials of the mine were to be sold in April last, but they failed to realise sufficient to pay off the lia • bilities, and the debts still outstanding amount to 5001. The petition for winding up the Tontine Life Assurance is from S. Dee, of the Tower. It was provisionally registered in 1846, with a proposed capital of 400,000/. in 20,'000 shares of 201. each, with power to increase the capital to 2,000,000/. Offices were taken in fall-mall, and the first deposits were paid, but many of time shareholders did not pay the first subscription of 11 per share. After com ing on the business of gri.nting policies, the directors on the 17th of August last, came to a resolution, without calling the shareholders together, to dissolve the company, intimating tht.t they had transferred all the business to the Engine( ‘rs and Masonic Life As surance Company, in the Strand, and that the out standing 1/. per share " naust" be paid to avoid legal expenses. The outstanding liabilities are esti mated at 1,5001., and t.h directors state that the sums due to the company - on the 1/. deposit and loans amount to 2,0001., wlaich would " leave a sur plus of 1,4001., which might be returnable to the shareholders in the event of a prompt payment." The petitioner states his belief that two of the Tontine po licies, one for 400/. sad another for 1001., have lately become due, but that no pr ovision has been made for their payment.

BARTTELOT OF THE 21ST IiEGIMENT.—We reg ri t to record the demise of this young officer, which took place yesterday morning, under circumstances of a yes: ; afflicting character. Oa Friday, while calling at Ba nks's Hotel, Union-street, Lieutenant Barttelot was sr lenly seized with an attack of cholera, and notwithstanding skilful medical assist ance, continued to get grad .wally worse till death termi nated his sufferings at an e urily hour yesterday morning. His funeral took place in the afternoon, and was at tended by a large body o. F. the staff and the officers and men of the 21st RE gic lent, which is at present stationed in the Castle. I [is remains were interred in the Dean Cemetery with tl te usual military ceremonies. Lieutenant Barttelot had only recently obtained his commission, and was a you ox officer of great promise.— Edinburgh avertiser. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The present week sees the commence ment of the academical session in our two ancient universities, and will send some eight or nine hun dred freshmen to encounter the various chances of , college life, and the proverbial perils of college debt. These perils are not wholly imaginary, but so much misconception exists on the subject, notwithstanding its recent notoriety, that we may be doing some public service by supplying the materials for the formation of more correct opinions. There are four parties whose positions are to be considered in a sensible review of the question—the college authori ties, the university tradesmen, the parents of the undergraduates, and the undergraduates themselves. It is in the habits of this last class alone that the main source of the evil lies, and it is here alone that a remedy can be effectually applied. At the outset we should observe, that we do not admit the existence of evil to any such extent as has been sometimes described. It is not true that any considerable proportion of students seriously injure either themselves or their families by extravagant ex penditure during their academical career—such tales are mere idle exa ggera ti ons ; but it is true, w e think, that in ninety c ases ou t o f a h un dred expens es are incurred in som e d egree incommensurate with the means of the student's family, and wholly uncalled for by the .act ua l c i rcums t ances o f hi s posi tion. We do not mean that a ll young men are at this particular period of their lives extravagant, or that they are eveh induced to be so by example ; but there is undoubtedly perpetuated, at each of the universi ties, a kind of traditional spirit, which is taken to warrant a certain extraordinary expenditure. There is really nothing whatever, as we shall presently observe, in the contingencies of a college education, to justify this presumption, but it is nevertheless almost universally conceived, that when a man gets to Oxford or Cambridge the supplies which have hitherto sufficed for his needs will suffice no longer. It seems almost imagined that he is pushed up one step in society, and that for the three next years of his life he must comport himself as if his position were something superior to what it really is. This feeling is not altogether without its value , but it conduces in almost every case to some needless ex pense, and, in its excess, involves the serious em barrassments complained of. There Is no earthly reason why a man should spend more in Oxford and Cambridge than in Worcester or Huntingdon ; on the contrary, there are many reasons why he should spend less; but, either because in the equality and fraternity of academic life a few individuals of rank and wealth more readily give the tone to the whole, or because the traditional institutions of the place generate and encourage the idea, it is certain that even the most economically•minded do incur ex penses here which they would not incur elsewhere. These are not often, in particular details, either large or culpable, but the aggregate is beyond what it should or might be. Nor are the parents and fami lies of the young men always unimplicated in these results. There is oftentimes a kind of pride enter tained in the figure which the son or brother is making at the university, and if the cost of the display is but confined to reasonable limits, we are inclined to think that it is seldom taken with a very bad grace. The worst part of all this is that particular feature of the system which naturalizes the idea and practice of debt. It is held to be an ordinary and almost legitimate incident of a collegiate education, that at its close there should remain certain obliga tions which are either to be discharged by an imme diate sacrifice, or are to be borne through a burdened and embarrassed life. Credit is thought as available a currency as money, and necessaries are often pro cured by means of the former, while the latter is reserved for the enjoyments of the day. To show the strange acceptance which this system has now secured, we need only quote a few words from the address of a certain Oxford tradesman recently pub lished in defence of himself and his brotherhood. He puts two or three of what he thinks the most ordinary cases. " A g en tl eman on l eav i n g the university has possibly his bills for the last year or more, or less, unsettled. Preparations for continental travel take up all his present means, and he leaves his Oxford creditors unpaid; or he gets his commission, and his outfit uses up all his ready money ; or a young clergyman on taking to his living finds that the wants of his parish require all the resources at his command, &c." Now, these are - - - notst-in reality by any means ordinary cases either at Oxford or Cam bridge, but the assumption pervading the whole ar gument is that a man has debts and creditors, to a greater or less extent, as naturally as he would have brothers or sisters, and this we suspect, though less at Cambridge than Oxford, is too often the case. As to the tradesmen who practise under such a system, it is wholly preposterous to expect that they should busy themselves about the means of bringing it to an end. It is not in human nature that reforms should be originated in this quarter, and the outcry occasionally raised against them is alto gether unreasonable. They get their bread, like others, under the conditions in which they find them selves. At the same time, it is wholly false to assert that they are a sworn band of harpies livi▪ ng upon plunder. They are nothing of the kind. With cer tain exceptions, not peculiar to the two universities, except in the prominence which they have lately ac quired, they are, in their own vocations, as respec table, and in many cases as respected, as any speci mensyi of their class throughout the kingdom. 'They are, of course, habituated to customers of a peculiar character—men presumed to possess certain means, seldom careful of small expenses, not often inqui sitive about prices, and more or less i▪ nconside rate in their orders. Their dealings inevitably assume a corresponding character ; but to assert that they are dishonest, or that they ma k e their fortunes by impure gains, would be an unwar rantable libel. They sell good articles at a high price, are accustomed to -gips credit, and to witness unnecessary expenditure, but the supply must always, by eternal laws, answer the demand, and we do not believe that any class of individuals better calculated to deal with undergraduates could anywhere be interested in Neither are they unconditionally in the maintenance of the present system, for they, as well as their debtors, frequentls? suffer. In fact, we suspect that if the statistics of Oxford and Cam bridge trading were compiled, it would not be found that those who ministered to luxury or extravagance had been the most fortunate in business. The men who retire with money are not so much the horse dealers, the wine -merchants, the tobacconists, or the confectioners, as the booksellers, upholsterers, and grocers, or such tradesmen as have commanded a large sale of real necessaries at good prices. Alto gether, we . believe that the un i vers ity tradesmen would be just as willing as any other parties to receive smaller gains and more regular pay. It is obvious that a system so grounded and main tained as we have described this to be can be no more changed by any decree of the university au thorities, than the social character of the people can be changed by a Royal proclamation. All that can be done by the governing bodies of colleges is to exercise such indirect influence as lies in their power, and to limit and curtail the necessary expenses of a student. How far this has been done it is in the power of any person to, ascertain for himself. What we are going to say may excite no littl e surpr i se ; b u t we speak neither without experien ce nor i n f orma ti on when we assert that in no single college in Oxford or Cambridge need the yearly expenses of a student ex ceed 1001., and they are often actually brought con siderably within this sum by men maintaining in all respects the character and position o f gent l emen. There are no lodgings in England so cheap as college rooms, no dinners in a London club-house so cheap as college dinners, and few lectures at a popul ar insti tute so cheap as college tuition. For 151. a year a man may have as good rooms as he can poss ib ly need ; the most expensive set in the college would probably not exceed 301. hose of our readers who have ever taken respectable lodgin gs i n a country town will know how to estimate these figures. The charge for tuition, including lectures on every sub ject required for the academical degree, is 2/. 5 8 per quarter at Cambridge, and 41. 4s. at Oxford, and every single necessary charge for board, lodging, and education may be, and often is, br oug h t under 251. a-term. The addition of another 1001. a year for personal expenses, is amply sufficient for the wants of any right-minded student during his academical career. All above this has reference only !to those demands to which we alluded at the commencement of t of our remarks, and which ar e so l ely with the hazards of a college life. The relations, as they exist at the present day, b etween tutor , and pupil, preclude any such personal superii- ten denee of the former as could check or gu id e the per sonal expenditure of the latter. The chenge can only be radically effected by that revolution in the general feelings of the mass by which social reforms ere ordinarily , brought about. Tu promote and en courage this feeling is the s p ec i al duty of parents themselves; and a parental app ea l to the honour of theiri children on entering the threshold of univer sity life would probably save many a thoughtless youth from destruction. Timely war ning may do something for individuals, common sense may do more; but the true remedy is only to be looked for in the correction of that traditional tone of academical society which now, unfortunately, acts in the opposite direction. The following gentlemen composed the deputation of the Society of Arts :—Vice-Presidents—Baron Goldsmid, W. Tooke, Esq., B. Rotch, Esq., T. Uwins, Esq., R.A., T. Webster, Esq., M.A. Mem bers of Council—H. Cole, E. W. Dilke, J. H. Bowen, J. Bell, and S. Winkworth, Esqs.; Professor Wood croft, J. Scott Russell, W. Tite, A. Pellatt, P. L. N.

Letters of apology were received from many gen tlemen who were unable to attend, but all of whom expressed their hearty concurrence in the objects of the meeting. The following is from Mr. Moffat, : "My Lord,—l greatly regret that an unavoidable absence from London will preclude my attendance at the Mansion-house, on Wednesday, to aid in the demon stration in support of the proposed grand exhibition in 1851. " I believe it would be difficult to overstate the mate rial benefits likely to accrue from such an exhibition, not to this country alone, but to the whole world. " It is scarcely possible to conceive a more interesting and useful combination than that in view. England is at this moment to a large extent practically ignorant of the arts and manufactures of other countries—other countries squally uninformed as to those of England; and the whole wurld must gain by the diffusion of practical information consequent upon such a gathering as that now contem• plated, which I trust will have the hearty and entire support of the city of London.—l have the honour to be, your faithful servant, (Signed) " Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." At half-past twelve o'clock the Lord Mayor, the deputation, and the gentlemen who took a more im mediate part in the business of the day, entered the hall, and were loudly cheered. On taking the chair, The LORD MAYOR said it would not be necessary for him to occupy much of their time with any ob servations of his own with regard to the occasion of bringing them to the Mansion-house that day. He would observe that he was merely the organ of the gentlemen who were present as a deputatien from the Society of Arts ; for, although the cards had been issued in his name, he had placed them at their disposal, as he was anxious at all times to make such use of the Mansion-house as would be most beneficial to his fellow-citizens and to the public.—(Hear, hear.) On the l 2th September last he had received a letter, which be held in his band, from Colonel Phipps, private secretary to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The letter was as follows : . 4 ‘ GEORGE hiONTAT. " My dear Lord,—You will probably have heard that his Royal Highness Prince Albert is at present engaged in causing inquiries to be made with regard to the pro bable success of a great exhibition of the works of in dustry of all nations, proposed to take place in London in the year 1851. " The result of these inquiries, so far as they have proceeded, has hitherto been most favourable, and I have now received the command of his Royal Highness to introduce to your Lordship Messrs. Henry Cole, Fuller, and J. Scott Russell, three members of the Council of the Society of Arts, wt,o have been actively engaged in pro secuting these inquiries and in endeavouring to promote the success of the proposed exhibition. These gentlemen will be prepared tally to explain to your Lordship the objects and nature of the undertaking and the progress that has as yet been made; and the Prince has com manded me to assure you of his Ruyal Highness's con viction that your Lordship will be disposed to afford these gentlemen such assistance as may be in your Lordship's power towards the formation of a City com mittee for the purpose of inquiring into and promoting this great plan.—l have the honour to be, my dear Lord, very faithfully yours, " C. B. PIIIPPS. " Osborne Cottage, Sept. 12, 180." The present meeting had been convened with that ob ject, as he thought it desirable to ascertain, so far as he coul.l, what were the feelings of the citizens of London with regard to the views taken by his Royal High ness for having a large exhibition of the industry of ' all nations, to be held in London in the year 10,51. He had been at the same time favoured with a book showing him what had been the opinions expressed in various large towns in the kingdom, and he had found that all the public authorities and others had most cheerfully given their signatures in the book as expressive of their approval and support of the views of his Royal Highness.—(Hear, hear.) Although the city of London had come last, he was sure that it was not intended to be less respectful to it than to any other part of the kingdom, but that the object was, having had before them the evidence of the general feeling of the country, that that would be confirmed by the approval of the city of London. It was not necessary to detain them by any lengthened observations as to the advantages likely to be derived to nation at large from the views and suggestions of his Royal Highness. They were all sufficiently aware of the blessings they enjoyed from the maintenance of a long peace, and there could be, in his opinion, no course more likely to consolidate the blessings they enjoyed from it than the inviting all nations to bring the products of their industry in arts and manufac tures to that great metropolis for exhibition.— ' (Hear, hear.) No doubt the metropolis itself would be greatly benefited by the circumstance of so many strangers coming there from all parts of the world upon so interesting an occasion. But although he would rejoice at the metropolis deriving all possible benefit from such a meeting, he could not forget that there were still higher objects to be gained, and still greater advantages to the country, by a large exhibi tion, which would enable them to show how much the country had improved in arts and manufactures, and how well able it was to stand in competition with the rest of the world.—(Cheers.) lle would merely add that, having the honour to see there several gen tlemen connected with the Society of Arts, he could assure the meeting that they would much better ex plain the objects in view than he could, and supply any omissions he had made. He was satisfied that that respectable meeting, comprising, as he saw it did, so many gentlemen of station in the city of London, would be the best evidence of the interest they took in the object his Royal Highness had in view, and of their anxiety to promote the welfare and honour of the country.—(Cheers.) With these observations he would call on Mr. Cole, a member of the Council of the Society of Arts. Mr. Elnisnr COLE said—Before he submitted the outlines of the proposal which his Royal Highness had charged them to communicate to the city of Lon don, he wished them to bear in mind that these pro ceedings were strictly preliminary. His Royal Highness wished them not to take anything as abso lutely settled, beyond the mere fact that it was in tended to have a great exhibition; and his Royal Highness wished that he should lay before them some details of the scheme, which he would do with all the brevity he could, in order that, at the proper time, they might be prepared to bring their counsels and advice in aid of his Royal Highness, if they so thought fit to carry the proposal into effect. The matter had been under the consideration of the Society of Arts, of which his Royal Highness was president, for at least five years. But during the last two years, his Royal Highness had been watching the symptoms of public feeling on this question, and the members of the Council well knew that on all occasions he had taken an active interest, as president of the so ciety, in further educating the public to appreciate meetings of this kind. This year, at the institu tion, they had had the finest exhibition of precious metal work that had ever been seen in modern times. The chief specimen was sent by her Majesty herself; And upon the whole it was con sidered that so great a point was made at that exhi• bition, as to warrant the Prince in considering that the time was arrived for maturing the preliminaries towards this great exhibition. Accordingly his Royal Highness commanded the attendance of some mem hers of Council and the secretary at Buckingham Palace, when his Royal Highness went over with them the details which he considered ought to consti tute the chief features of the proposed exhibition. On that occasion his Royal Highness directed minutes to be kept; and the minutes both of that and of subse quent meetings were seen, revised, and approved of by his Royal Highness. He thought it right to mention these matters, to show that his Royal High ness took a direct personal interest in the question, and that he was not acting merely in an official man ner as President of the Society of Arts.—(Hear, hear.) In the course of the observations which he had to address to them, they would see that his Royal Highness had himself worked out many details as far as they had yet proceeded. It would, perhaps, conduce still more to the understanding of the subject, if he were to read some extracts taken from these mi nutes. At Buckingham Palace, 30th June, 1849, his Royal Highness communicated to the members of Council his views as to a greatcollection and exhibition of works of art and industry, to be held in London, in 1851. On this question, the first point for con sideration was whether the exhibition should be limited exclusively to the productions of this country. Perhaps he might be allowed to say that the para graph he was about to read was one which the Prince himself had inscribed on the minutes. " It was a question whether the exhibition should be exclusively limited to articles of British industry; whilst it would be an error to limit an exhibition of articles of ma chinery, science, and taste, which are of no country, but belong to the whole civilized world, considerable advantages would result to British industry from its being exhibited in open competition with the products of all other countries."—(He a r, hear.) That seemed to be the fundamental principle on which the Prince acted; and with this feeling all the meetings he had addressed were in absolute unison. There was only one gentleman out of 600 or 700, whom he had con sulted, who thought that in the first instance the ex hibition should consist of British industry ; but when that gentleman came to see his own opinion put into print for the Prince's perusal, it seemed to be so sin gular, that he requested it might be cancelled, and stated that in the mine of six weeks he had totally changed his opinion. Mr. Cole having read the opinions of various parties in Scotland and England on the subject of the exhibi tion, stated that he thought the citizens of London would as well as the parties he had quoted agree with Prince Albert, that the exhibition should be open to all nations. The next point was the subjects which should be comprehended in the exhibition. His Royal Highness considered that it should consist of the following divisions :—raw materials, machinery and mechanical inventions, manufactures, sculpture and the plastic arts generally. Now, they would bear in mind that this would not be an assemblage of ordi nary productions, but the best works in all the classes which the world could furnish. One great feature in this exhibition would be that they should see there the best of what every land could do. There would be raw materials—animal, vegetable, and mineral— whether produced in the earth, or on the earth. In animal productions, for instance, they would have enormous elephants' tusks from Africa, with their conversion into Sheffield handles. They would have leather from Russia and Morocco; beaver from Baffin's Bay; wood from Australia, Thibet, and Sussex ; silks from Asia and from Europe; and furs from the Esquitnaux. They would, perhaps, have some valuable and hitherto unknown manufactures from the East Indies ; for he was happy to tell them that the Court of Directors intended to exhibit the beet of everything that India could furnish. They had reason to think also that the Australian and other public companies would not be backward i in aiding them on this occasion. With respect to 1 vegetable productions, they would have the cotton of Asia to compare with the cotton of America ; they would have corn from Poland, Russia, and all the English counties, as well as from what he might call the virgin soil of Connemara. They would then have cora from the Baltic and from England—they would have spices from the East—Kent and Sussex would send their hops—Malabar its raisins, and the Pyrenees their olives. The exhibition, therefore, would be of universal interest to all who cultivated the soil. IVith respect to minerals-----there would be gold from California and from the East Indies, silver from Mexico and from Russia, iron from Wales, from Wolverhampton, and perhaps from Tonbridge Wells; for perhaps the meeting did not know that the iron rails round St. Paul's Church were manufactured at Tonbridge "Wells from ore found in the neighbour hood. They would have clays from Bideford, from Truro, and perhaps from Putney; for the meeting might recollect that close by Vauxhall-bridge there was an enormous manufacture of certain d scrip tins of pottery ware carried on. They would have steam-engines in endless variety, and in all their applications, with machines of all descriptions, including the most ingenious invention of Messrs. Whitworth, of Manches• ter, which would enable those who desired it to measure the 50,000 th part of an inch. They would have looms from Dacca to contrast with the last new power-loom, and the old spindle, that was still in use among the Egyptians, to be placed side by side with the modern flax-wheel from Belfast. They would have paper machines of every description; and one eminent manufacturer had said to him, that if it was practicable, and he thought it might be, he would bring up a machine where a bundle of rags was put in at one end, and twenty feet farther on a large sheet of elephant drawing-paper would be produced. In printing presses, they might expect Mr. Applegarth to produce his machine by which 10,000 perfect copies of the Times newspaper were completed in one hour. With regard to manufactures, he need hardly detain them with the details of what was ex pected in that class. From India they would have manufactures of which they knew nothing. The nankeens of India were hardly ever seen now; for the Indian consumers found it more profitable to send the raw material to this country to be spun and woven here, than to do as they had been accustomed to do, make the fabrics themselves and send them to this country to be consumed. But still there remained in India, as in other parts of the world, various in digenous manufactures, which might furnish hints to the manufacturers of this country. In the de partment of plastic art and sculpture there would be an exhibition of all articles relating to the building art and architecture, to ornamental metals, and to bronzes. He now came to the question of a site for this exhibition, for which, at least in the first instance, the buildings must be temporary. Government had offered the area of Somerset House fOr the site of the exhibition ; or, if that should not be considered de sirable, on any other ground of which they might have the disposal. His Royal Highness had suggested a piece of vacant ground on the south side of Hyde park, running parallel with what was called Rotten row. The particular advantage of this site, in the eye of the Prince, was—that for rich and poor it had an equally good access—that whether a visitor rode in an omnibus or drove up in his private carriage, he w ould be equally w ell off in the approach to the ground.--([dear.) The next point to be settled was as to the expediency of giving large prizes. Foreign Governments ,were accustomed to do so, and it was deemed necessary to give large prizes in order to in duce the manufacturers of the world to enter into the competition. He should say that 20,000/. would be offered in prizes on this occasion ; but how it was to be apportioned would be matter for subsequent consideration. It was proposed to crganiz,::, an executive to arrange matters, with the co - operation of the Government, and all details would be settled by the executive. The next question was, how the funds were to be pro cured ? A good deal of trouble had been taken to investigate that question, and the result had been, that it was thought better for every one to pay what he pleased, than that the expense should be taken com pulsorily out of the general taxation of the country. In other countries, no doubt, Governments were ac customed to do these things ; but other countries were accustomed to do a number of things which he, for one, believed Englishmen were in the habit of doing much better for themselves.—(L ou d cheers.) Ile believed that no Government works were ever completed so peitectly as cur countrymen were in the habit of doing them fbr themselves. Throughout Eng land he had found there was a unanimous feeling that the Government should no t b e ca ll e d upon to pay any part of the exp ense , b ut t h at every b o d y shou l d pay his half-crown, or what he pleased, towards the exhibition. There was a little mixed feeling on the subject in Scotland.—(Laughter.) One gentleman, an eminent manufacturer in Paisley, whose name he would not mention, said he consi dered that this was a great national work, to be car ried on for the national benefit, and therefore he thought that Government should bear a moiety of the expense ; and he carried a number of gentlemen with him in a resolution that it was expedient to ask the Government to pay one-half the expense. lie (Mr. Cole) did not think such a proposition had yet been made to the Government, and therefore he could not say how it would be received; but the feeling of the Society of Arts and the Prince was, that it would be nobler for his countrymen to do the thing for them selves, rather than to ask the Government for any assistance.—(Hear, hear.) The meeting appeared to receive with some merriment the face that some . Scotchmen would like the Government to pay; but he must add that in Glasgow the feeling was, as ex pressed by an eminent manufacturer, " That the less the Govern men t did f or t h em the better, and that the more the manuf ac t urers su b scr ib e d th e better :" and he might add, that in the course of his travelling he met with an old lady who told himthat she would not be able to attend the exhibition, but that she would give a crown towards it, provided the Government gave nothing. The Lord Provost of Glasgow said the exhibition would be far more popular if no public money were required ; and at Canterbury, Mr. S. Lushington said he was glad the expenses of the exhibition were to be voluntary, for he was satisfied that if they sought the aid of the Government the people would consider themselves relieved from giv ing, and far less would be realised. The meeting would see that if any proposition of the kind was made in the House of Commons, there would be almost inevitably a division, while according to the plan proposed, the parties concerned would decide for themselves, and there could be no division. He hoped that the meeting would agree with the views of his Royal Highness that the whole object should be car ried out by subscription. In Dublin they were very sanguine about the matter, for there they said that to get together 150,0001. or 200,0001. would be the easiest part of the business. Yesterday he had an interview with a gentleman who had one of the longest heads in the city of London, and who was one of the richest men in it, and he said that there would be no difficulty as regarded money, but that there would be a difficulty in preventing the exhibition being en gulfed by its very magnitude ; for everybody had a direct and obvious interest in it. It was therefore proposed that, the funds being forthcoming, the Go vernment be requested to appoint a Royal Commission to expend that portion of them which was to be ap propriated to prizes, so as to secure the utmost im partiality. The Society of Arts felt that it would not do for them to undertake the very delicate task of distributing 20,000/. in prizes, and it was there fore conceived that the best course was to ask the Government to nominate such a commission, in order that a tribunal should be appointed which should be above all possible suspicion. This commission would determine the amount of the prizes, and the selection of subjects for w hich the prizes should be offered. The prizes proposed to be submitted for the consi deration of the Commission, to be medals with money prizes. It was proposed that the first prize should be 5,0001., and that one at least of 1,0001. should be given in each of the four sections. Medals conferred by the Queen would very much enhance the value of the prizes."—(Hear, hear.) We are not privileged to say more than that, but that perhaps will be sufficient to show the interest which we may hope that our Sovereign will take in the subject.—(hear, hear.) I end with this statement, gentlemen, without attempt ing to advocate the merits of the proposition before you ; standing here, as we do, to represent the views of the Prince, we have thought it would be most be coming to appear as little as possible partisans. We have laid before you what is the proposal of the Prince, and we leave you to deal with it as you think fit.— (Hear, hear.) I will only say, that if there is a place in the world interested in the matter it is London. I think we may expect some hundred thousand people to come flowing into London from all parts of the world by railways and steamboats to see this great exhibition. I think we may calculate on foreign merchants who may want to buy, pleasure seekers, men of science anxious to see what has been done. In short, London will act the part of host to all the world at an intellectual festival of peaceful industry, suggested and provided by the Consort of our beloved Queen, seconded by ourselves—a festival such as the world never before has seen. Mr. Cole was very loudly and generally applauded on resuming his seat. Mr. PRESCOTT, the Governor of the Bank of Eng land, proposed a resolution tendering the thanks of the meeting to his Royal Highness Prince Albert for his proposition of establishing an exhibition like the ono suggested, and offering their cooperation in carrying it out. He thought the exhibition would not only be pro ductive of the greatest good to this country, but to every nation which might send specimens for exhibition. The exhibition wculd engender a feeling of industrious rivalry among all nations. Mr. R. C. DILLON seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr. LlustE, M.P., proposed the next resolution, which was in effect that the meeting was of opinion that the funds necessary for the exhibition should be raised by subscription, end should not be taken out of the taxes of the couetry. Ho strongly deprecated any Govern ment aid. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS seconded the motion, which wati agreed to. _ A rote of thanks to the Chairman closed the pro ceedings. SUPPOSED CASE OF CATALEPSY. BRISTOL, OCT. 15.—A most extraordinary instance, as connected with the present visitation of cholera, has just occurred here, and which, however the in vestigation to be instituted may ultimately end, can not fail of proving of the greatest interest to scientific men and the public generally. On Friday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, Mr. Byroa Blythe, residing at Orchard-street, in this city, son of a gentleman of independent property residing at London, and ne phew of Mr. Blythe, of the firm of Blythe and Green, the celebrated shipowners, of London,was apparently taken with cholera, and the disease, in spite of medi cal aid, soon assumed a most alarming appearance, and notwithstanding the unremitting attentions of Dr. Green, Dr. Wallis, and Mr. Kelson, he gradually sank, and about half-past two o'clock on Saturday morning it was supposed that he had expired. When Dr. Green left him late on Friday night he considered that there were exhibited evident symptoms of his rallying, and at the early hour of six o'clock on Satur day morning he got up for the purpose of visiting him. On his way he wus met by a person who told him that Mr. Blythe was dead, but that if he wished he could see the body. Dr. Green was rather surprised at the suddenness of the occurrence, and on examining the body he found that it was still warm. He, however, at the time did not think much of this, and gave a certificate that the supposed deceased had died from the effect of malignant cholera. He added that he would call on the following morning. lie did so, and found that in the interim the body had been screwed down, but as the carpenter was present he insisted upon having him unscrewed. The bcdy was covered with sawdust, ou the removal of which there were no traces of decomposition, and it was still warm. Dr. Green accordingly ordered that the body should not be, interred till he had again seen it, and he proceeded to Dr. Wallis and Mr. Kelson, and informed them of the circumstances of the case. All the medical gen tlemen again saw the body at nine o'clock on Sunday morning, and appointed another meeting for twelve o'clock, in the meantime directing that the funeral should nottake place. At that time they were accom panied by Dr. Gillow, of Clifton, and Mr. James Ford, merchant, of this city, with whom the deceased had been placed for instruction. Mr. Go] e, the celebrated galvanist, was like wise present. The body was still warm, and they accordingly resolved to make some experiments upon it. They first injected the veins with warm salt and water, but without producing any effect. They then subjected the body to powerful galvanic shocks, which bad the effect of changing the colour and ren dering the hands more supple. It likewise produced a frothing at the mouth, but there were no other per ceptible signs of life. The body was then ordered to be laid out in the usual manner out of a coffin, and without any sawdust or anything about it. After lying the whole of the night up to the hour at which I write (five p.m.), this day (Monday), the extraor dinary appearance of warmth still remains, and, cone trary to the ordinary appearance of a body deceased of cholera, there are not as yet any signs of decompo sition. The body will be removed this evening to the Cholera Hospital, at St. Peter's, when some further experiments will be instituted. It is a somewhat sin gular fact that about a fortnight since the deceased, if deceased he be, in conversation with the landlord of his house, said, " that if he died of cholera he should like to be stabbed in the heart, so that he might be certain not to be buried alive." This case exhibits perhaps some of the most singular phenomena on re cord, and the results are looked forward to here with the highest interest. A srecial messenger was dis patched to London to acquaint the relatives of Mr. Blythe with his supposed death, and they have since arrived at Bristol. BRISTOL, OCT. 17.—A1l doubts as to the fate of the unfortunate young man, Mr. Byron Blythe, are now set at rest, decomposition having set in. To the surviving relatives it must be in the highest degree satisfactory to know, not only that the utmost medi cal skill of Bristol Las been employed, if it were pos sible, to preserve the vital spark. By direction of the coroner, at the request of the friends of the de ceased, an inquiry into the circumstances of the case was commenced this day at the Albion Tavern, Princes-street. No evidence was taken, but after the jury had viewed the body, the inquest was adjourned for some days. For the convenience of inspection, the body had been removed to Less is's stables, Middle-avenue, Queen- square, leading to Princes street, and on viewing the body, which was laid in a coffin dressed in the cereclothes, the head and face were found to exhibit signs of decomposition ; the arms also were quite blue, and the body presented traces of decomposition. The undertaker, who was present, by the direction of the coroner, ripped up the cereclothes, so that the arms might be distinctly vi sible. The body will be interred to-day in the ce metery. As some valuable medical testimony will be adduced at the approaching inquest, it would be pre mature to enter into any; explanation of the causes of the somewhat singular phenomena which have been exhibited in this case. It is stated that a post mortem examination will be made by four me dical gentlemen prior to the interment. NEW WORK, by the Author of " JANE EIRE."
