THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos ;essing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, 'or though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex mvaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and 'ashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art ',as at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. Fie would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that 'n his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has Tared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, hat, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that 1 is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which ttend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri ualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's exposé of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so siasily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited ind elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this imblic exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating , from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spirt 'gal Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hums :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques ion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family fferald, No. 645: This young man, who is a Scotehman by birth, and now n Italy, is a reasarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout he Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbu,g, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum is New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could he bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. lie inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not : hut, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts Lis belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t' be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which tis effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the dforninq Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the. North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring appliedto bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he aid Lord Brougham had their séance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship' s ' right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-inougers-Tthat the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the , .übject of a new wo r k, an d th a t a " spiritual convention , has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will f be received by the people of England as genuine honest at -1 tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even ing, the programme being continually changed.

Typifying the evening's entertainment in the production of the very volu minous from a small volume, in the extraction of magnitude out of minuteness, in developing bulk where no space appears for its existence, in discovering odd things in odd places, and ;n bringing forth unexpected wonders from the most unlikely place for to be found. Act 4, Magical Locomotion ; or, Transition without Trou ble.

Act 5. L'Ecrin de Verre; or, the Casket of Crcesus. Into which, though made entirely of glass perfectly transparent, and suspended so as to be visible to the eyes of all present, the Wizard will cause the money of his visitors to transport itself, and rain into the casket, though its lid be closed, locked, and the key in the possession of the audience.

We also hear, net unfrequently, science and practice, scientific knowledge and common sense, contrasted as antagonistic. A. strange error For science is eminently practical, and must be so, as she - sees and knows what she is doing ; whilst mere common practica is condemned to work in the dark, ap plying natural ingenuity to unknown powers to obtaia a known result. Far be it for me to undervalue the crew• tive power of genius, or to 'treat shrewd common sense as worthless without knowledge. But nobody will tell me that the same genius would not take an incompara bly higher flight if supplied with all the means that knowledge can impart, or that common sense does not become, in fact, only truly powerful when in possession of the materials upon which judgment is to be exercised. The study of the laws by which the Almighty governs the universe is therefore our bounden duty. Of these laws our great academies and seats of education have, rather arbitrarily, selected only two spheres or groups (as I may call them) as essential parts of our national edu , cation—the laws which regulate quantities and propor tions, which form the subject of mathematics, und the laws regulating the expression of our thought through the medium of language, that is to say grammar, which their rse study laws trains its purest expression in the classical languages. are not the only ones ; there are others which we cannot disregard—which we cannot do without. There are, for instance, the laws governing the human mind and its re lation s o a s t n d importan t e l evates the branches ied of B k a n t o t w h l e e y d knowledge e ; lation to the Divine Spirit—the subject of logic and metaphysics. There are those which govern our bodily nature and its connexion with the soul—the subject of physiology and psychology. More which govern human society and the relations between man and man, the subjects of politics, jurisprudence, and political economy, and many others. While of the laws just mentioned some have been recognised as the essentials of education in different institutions, and some will, by the course of time, more fully assert their rights to recognition, the laws regulating mat'er and form are those which will constitute the chief object of your pursuits ; and as the principle of sub-division of labour is the one most cons genial to our age, I would advise you to keep to this s esiality, and to follow with undivided attention chiefly the soienceaof mechanics, physics, and chemistry, and th e fine arts, in painting, acuiptuie, and architecture. You will thus have conferred an inestimable boon upon your country, and in a short time have the satisfaction of witnessingthe beneficial results upon our national power of production. Other parts of the country will, I doubt not, emulate your example, and I live in hopes that all these institutions will someday fiad a central point of union, and thus complete their national organisation. Thanking you once more for having allowed me to assist at the foundation of your institution, I wish it growth, vigour, and prosperity with all my heart. (His Royal Highness resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic cheering.) Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY proposed th e next 'toast, (` The Health of the Emperor of the French and our brave Allies," which was received with loud and pro tracted cheering. His lordship eu:ogised the gallantry with which the French had shared the perils of hardly. contested battlefields with our own troops, and observed that the Sardinians were a people on whose present con dition and prospects we must always look with the deep est interest, as they had shown that they knew how to rally round the standard of freedom, which they know how to enjoy rationally. As to the Turks, they bad shown that they deserved to be fought for, and that they possessed some of the greatest qualities of a great nation. But it was the frank and loyal conduct of the Emperor of the French which had especially gained the confidence and admiration of the people of this country during the present struggle. We all felt that the Emperor was a firm friend and ally on whom we could rely in every emergency. _ _ _ [PRICE 4D.

The signatures of the boys follow. The ceremonial over, the procession proceeded on to the site of the new building by the side of the Town Hall. (Here a couple of immense platforms-had been' erected ; these were occupied by the members of the Town Coun cil and many hundreds of ladies and gentlemen, who gave the Prince a hearty welcome on his arrival at the site. Here the arrangements made were very good, the place was handsomely decorated, and his Royal High ness immediately proceeded_with, the especial business of the day. Before proceeding to lay the stone, Lord Calthorpe advanced and read- to the Prince an address from the Council of the Institute. His UOYAL HIGHNESS replied as follows :—My lords and gentlemen,—l thank you very sincerely for your address. It is with more than ordinary pleasure that I have accepted your kind invitation to take part in the ceremony which is this day to mark the first step to wards the establishment of an institution, from which I join with its warmest supporters in looking for the most advantageous results. I cannot, indeed, doubt fur a moment that the expectations of those who believe.that the "value and dignity of human labour will receive a manifold increase, when guided by the light of scientific knowledge," will be amply realised. And it is most grati fying to me to hear the expression of your opinion that the desire for the "keener and more comprehensive study of the principles by which the exercise of man's productive powers is controlled," from which you anticipate such advantage, has been stimulated by the Great Exhibition of 1851, to toy connexion with which you have been pleased to allude in such flattering terms. I cannot forget that the example of such indus trial exhibitions had been already set by this town, and with the best results ; or that, to the experience so ac quired the executive committee of the greater under taking of 1851 were much indebted in carrying that w. Tit to a successful issue. As Birmingham was thus foremost in giving a practical stimulus to the works of art and in dustry, so she is now one of the first to encourage a scientific study of the principles on which those works depend for success. I trust with you, and confidently believe, that the "moral as well as the material welfare of this great community" will be advanced by the union, for t,cientific objects, of men of all classes, and of all opinions, in such institutions as that of which I am to day to base the honour of laying the first store. And most heartily do I join with you in congratulating the country, that not even such a war as that in which we are now engaged, calculated as it is to enlist our warmest sympathies, and to engage our more imme diate interest, can divert Englishmen from the noble work of fostering the arts of peace, and endeavouring to give a wider scope to the blessings of freedom and civi lisation. 'The Hon. and Rev. GRANTHAJI Yon then offered up a suitable prayer, and under the auspices of Messrs. Branson and Gayther, the eminent builders and railway contractors, the Prince proceeded to lay the stone in the usual form. Th - e Noble PRESIDENT said he found some difficulty in doing justice to the next toast. Whether he. looked to the patient endurance by our soldiers of privations and of disease—whether he looked to their indomitable conrAge in the face of the enemy—be confessed his admiration was much excited. It might have been thought that, after 40 years of peace, our soldiers had degenerated ; but no such thing happened ; and the same zeal, and the same daring, and the same devotedness to their country, bad characterised both the army and navy in a degree which must be gratifying to the pe n ile of this country. His lordship concluded by giving "The Army and Navy." coupling with the former the name of General , Sir Harry Smith, and with the latter the name of Sir Robert Peel. Sir H. SKIM was received with cordial cheering. He sail that, after the manner in which the toast had been received, nothing was left for a veteran like him to say than that the juvenile soldiers of our army had covered our army and themselves with laurels in the present war. The British army had not degenerated, and so long as the present alliance was preserved we should be victo• rious under all circumstances. Sir R. PEEL, as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, returned thanks for the navy in the following terms :-- "In compliance with the request which has beg* made to me, I rise to acknowledge the toast. I wish the duty had been placed in worthier hands, but as it is my..prida to fill any position, howe ver su b or di na t e , i n any branch of her Majesty's service, I feel it a privilege to acknow ledge the toast on behalf of the navy. The Royal navy of this country needs no encomium from me. (Cheers.) The reputation of England is our glory, and an holiest rivalry of fame animates both our army and our navy ; but, whatever may be the peculiar exoellensies or dis tinctions of the two services, it is upon the united dis cipline and character of both services that the reputation and the strength of old England are based. (Cheers.) The achievements of the 'navy are recorded in the annals of our country, and whatever services it may have occa sion to perform, we may rest well satisfied that the same loyalty, the same readiness, and the same courage which have hitherto maintained unsullied the reputation of our arms will still be conspicuous. We well know that from the highest officer who holds command in the navy down to the humblest sea-boy before the mast, all are ani mated by but one feeling, and that, as they walk the • decks of their vessels—those decks which have been the field of our national fame —they are not unmindful of the reputation of the past, and they are prepared to up hold the power and the fame of our country. (Cheers. I may be permitted b I ,before I sit down to say—and think I am giving utterance to the sentiments of this vast assemblage—thatldo not believe either those proud leviathan vessels that sweep the seas, or the number of those brave battalions for whom the gallant general near me has tendered his acknowledgments, constitutes the true and real security of this country ; but I think the best guarantee for its power and security is to be found in that unanimous feeling which animates every class of her Majesty's subjects—(cheers)—a feeling which has been so remarkably conspicuous on this most important occas i on . I must say it is a matter of p r id e to reflect that, in spite of all the pre-occupations of the present period—in spite of all those necessary privations and self-denials which the circumstanoee of the moment en tail—we should, under the noble auspices of the Consort of our Sovereign, inaugurate a work of peace and moral advancement. I think it is a proud day for this, the pro• vincial capital of one of the most busy districts of Eng land, when so many hundreds of persons assemble to in augurate and promote a work which will effect great social improvement. It is with great pleasure that I see here to-day the Consort of our beloved Sovereign, and I trust the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood wi put forth their en erg i es in or d er that the future success Pt the institute m a y b e commensura t e w i t h the dignity of this occasion, for by so doing I conceive they will l best by the presence of his Royal Highnes is s.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Nov. 22.--The market continues dull, and prices are slightly in favour of the buyer. In the yarn-market this is principally from a suspension of operations by the China trade, who have recently been buying rather extensively. The de pression is consequently felt very much in water twist for that market. Mule twist is very generally about id. per lb. lower than last week, and in some kinds of cloth buyers are able to suit themselves at lid. per piece under last week's rates, and in some cases on even easier terms. The home demand continues dull, and the busi ness doing is less than usual at this period of the year. REPRESENTATION OF TAUNTON.—The Right Hon. H.

Whenever the meeting of Parliament shall make the Speaker issue a writ for your borough, it is my intention to ask at your hands a renewal of the trust which for the last six-and twenty years you have committed to me. My conduct during that long and eventful period is well known to you, and it cannot be necessery for me to make any ' general profession of my polities] opinions. 1 bad no personal desire to return to official life, but I had not thought myself at liberty to decline to do so when I found that it was considered by others with whom 'have long acted that I could in any degree promote the public service at the present juncture. I believe that I may confidently appeal to the desire which prevails among you, as well as in the country at large, to give an effec tive support to the present Government in the vigorous prosecution of a war which has been forced upon us by unjust and systematic aggression, as the only means of securing, as soon as possible, the blessings of a durable and honourable peace.", [ADVERTISEMENT.] —It is over a pleasing duty of a jour ceopmsiptints, Cough, Flatulency, jour nalist to introduce to his re aders some new di scovery cal culated to benefit that vast p ortion of our fell ow - creatures which has the strongest cla ims u p on our s y m pathies.

P BINGE ALBERT AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY. Prince Albert honoured this town by a visit to-day for the purpose of laying the first stone of the Birming ham and Midland Institute. The Prince had twice pre- viously visited the town ; in the year 1844, when her Majesty was the guest of Sir Robert Peel (at that time Prime Minister), at Drayton Manor ; and again, exactly six years ago, his Royal Highness came down for the purpose of inspecting the Exhibition of Manufacture- , , then open at Bingley Hall. To-day the Prince has come amongst us to give eclat to the commencement of a work which, when fully carried out, cannot fail to he of the greatest advantage.to the, town, and to the vast industrial and mineral district surrounding it. The want of a Literary and 'Scientific Institution in Birmingham, commensurate with the character and re quirements of a town where the occupations of the great majority of its artisans demand a certain amount of mechanical, chemical, or artistic knowledge, induced a number of gentlemen to endeavour t ) supply that de ficiency. In Jan., 1853, they obtained the sanction of a public meeting, presided over by the Mayor, to the scheme of a Literary and Scientific Institote ; in 1854 the Institute was incorporated by Act of Parliament, and the Town Council granted a site adjoining the Town Hall for the proposed buildings, on condition 'l that 10,0001. was raised and available for their erection. The liberality of the noblemen and gentlemen of the neigh bourhood, of the ironmasters of the district, and of the inhabitants of Birmingham, has placed a considerable portion of the required sum in the hands of the Council of the Institute, and several friends to the undertaking having entered into a personal guarantee for the balance of the stipulated 10,0001., the Council are now in a posi tion to commence the erection of the buildings. The full development of the scheme of education will require at least double the amount of the funds now in hand. A more specific and detailed account of the scheme of the Institute is contained in the address of the council to Prince Albert, which we give below. A short time since a dozen designs for the intended building were sent in ; and from these the council se lected that of Mr. Edward Barry, whose father has al ready contributed to the architectural ornamentation of the town, in his magnificent design for the school of King Edward VI. The building now about to be erected is in the modern Italian style--simple and extremely elegant, though almost devoid of ornamentation, if we except the slight window dressines, mouldings, and rus ticwork, which, skilfully handled, render this style the most pleasing as well as convenient for almost every description of street architecture. Yesterday, although the morning was gloomy and towards nine o'clock the rain came down steadily, the bustle of the inhabitants, engaged in daily decorating their houses and the peals from the bells, commenced at a very early hour. The Great Western Canipany's station was decorated and smartened as much as circumstances would admit of ; and up Livery-street, along Bull-street, High-street, New-street, and Paradise-street (the line by which it had been arranged the Prince should pass to the Town Hall, and the site of the new building), from every house there streamed handsome banners with va rious inscriptions, all expressive of loyal sentiment and of hearty and kindly greeting. In all the streets skirt , ing the route banners streamed from the houses far away in the distance ; in front of King Edward's School the governors had caused a platform to be erected for the scholars of that truly royal foundation ; and everybody who could contribute did contribute in every possible way to give the Prince a thoroughly hearty English re ception : far his Royal Highness's encouragement of art as applied to manufactures is nowhere more fully appre ciated er more highly valued than in Birmingham. As 12 o'clock drew near, shortly after which it was known the royal train would arrive, the streets became densely thronged : a November rain and fog did not damp t he ardour of the people who thronged the streets. In Bull-, treet the flags floated from the windows on either side, and formed one vast triumphal arch. The front of King Edward's School was decorated with evergreens as well as flags ; so were many other of the principal houses, and through the fog and wet the gay colaurs , trea,ined gaily—the desperate effort of the weather to be unpleasant scarcely to any extent marring the enthu siasm of the people. The police kept good order in the streets ; and a troop of the 98th Regiment, with the 6th Carabineers, were in attendance as the guard of honour. The Great Western Station had, as we have said, been tastefully fitted up. There was a reception room and a retiring room for his Royal Highness. Both of these were elegantly fitted up, under the auspices of Mr. Smith, of the Hen and Chickens Hotel ; Messrs. Jen nens and Bettridge contributed a handsome suite of papier mache furniture, and many pictures were lent to adorn the walls ; in fact, altogether, the room pre sented a very elegant appearance. Mr. Andrews, Mr. Hewitt, and other officers of the rail way company, made complete the arrangements at the station, the platform of which was covered with crimson cloth. The members of the Town Council arrived at_the railway station at 12 o'clock. These took up a position on one side the line of the platform at which the royal carriage was to draw up ; the council of the institute, headed by Lord Cal thorpe and Capt. Tindal, on the opposite side. Exactly at 30 minutes past 12 the cheers in the distance an flounced that the train conveying his Royal Highness was upon the viaduct by which the line enters the town. In a minute or two the cheering became louder and more distinct, and the royal train ran into the station. As it did so the Mayor (T. R. T. Hod g son , Esq.) approached the royal carriage, arid the Prince followed his wor ship into the reception-room, in which were the Recorder (M. D. Hill, Esq., Q C.), Mr. Edmonds, the clerk of the peace ; Dr. B. Davies, the borough coroner ; several of the borough magistrates ; Lieutenant- General Sir Harry Smith, and his aide-de-camp, Colonel Houlditch ; Colonel Slade, commandant of the district ; Colonel Gordon, Colonel Rainier, Lieut.-Colonel Bam ford, Major Wynward, Lieut. Cannon, &c. Prince Albert re,ired for a few moments and then re turned to the reception room, where the members of the Town Council were ; then the Prince took his station on the Mayor's right hand, and the Recorder (in his official robes), advanced and read the following address : auspiciouso of To mtia ry b' ro i i Fie-Marshal o l c pg l - hl Meammasre event whichs i h o a l your h Royal s has Saxe Coburg and G o th a, K .G., &0., &c. We, the M a y or , Ald ermen, and Burgesses of the b oroug h council assembled, proeur edf a o v r a u i 1 8 ourselves of honour rf and the gratification of your presence among us to express our deep sense of the manifold and important services which you have rendered to the country of your adoption. Manufactures, commerce, and agriculture, the three great sources of British wealth, have each derived benefits from your exertions, and for these benefits we respectfully offer you our cordial thanks. But, sir, we appreciat e s till more highly your unremit ting zeal for the advancement of religion and learning, of the sciences and the arts, and for their widest diffusion among all ranks of our fellow-subjects. Permit us, also, to thank you for the earnest and abid ing interest which you manifest in every institution hav ing for its object to succour and instruct the destitute, to reclaim the erring, and to restore both classes to society so trained as to have become honest and industrious citizens, fearing God and honouring the Queen. Thus, sir, have you nobly employed the opportunities afforded by edby your exalt e d s t a ti on f or a idi ng our rev ered So vereign in he r l a b ours to enhance the true sp l en d our o f her Grown augmenting its utility to her people. Nor amidst this multiplicity of your public avocations have you neglected to cultivate thedomestic virtues which, whether found in a palace or in a cottage, must constitute its richest treasure. With sedulous care do you minister to the happiness of our beloved Queen, and united with her in fulfilling the holiest of parental duties, anxiously do you watch over the education of that Royal offspring in whom we confide to prolong into a distant future the blessings of this most beneficent reign. That it may please the Supreme Ruler to preserve for many years a life so precious to your consort, to your chil dren, and to the nation, is our devout and humble prayer. Given under the Corporate Common Seal of the Borough of Birmingham, on the 22d day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-five. (L S ) His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied as follows—Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen—The cordial reception I have met with from you demands my warmest acknowledgments. You only do me justice in giving me credit f r a deep interest in whatever can tend to the advancement of either the moral or material good of the people of this country. But you allude in too flattering a manner, and attach too high a value, to any services that it may have been in my power to render in this cause. I feel it to be a high privilege to be associated in any way with those who are making such noble efforts—and nowhere with more energy and perseverance than in the town of Birming ham—for the improvement of their fellow-countrymen ; and to be allowed to witness the success of those efforts will be more than a sufficient reward for any assistance I may myself have been enabled to afford. The Town Council then retired, and the members of the Council of the Institute were introduced to his Royal Highness by the Mayor, after which the proces sion was formed, and the Prince proceeded in the royal carriage (which had arrived on the previous day), on his way to the hall, his worship the Mayor and Lord Cal thorpe, as president of the Institute, being seated in the carriage with his Royal Highness. To describe the progress from the railway station to the Town-hall would l b i e n e t o e f d t e h s e c r i r b o e ut a e c t o h n e t i e n h u e e e d r o n v e a v t e i r o c . e a sAlonged. In th e h f e r o w n h t ole of Bing Edward's School the royal cortege stopped ; .there three addresses were presented to the Prince—oneefdr?m the governors, another from the masters, present the the Rev.

About 400 gentlemen sat down. The galleries were filled with ladies, and Lord Calthorpe presided. A very handsome chair was provided for the royal guest, who sat on the President's tight hand, he having the Major on his im mediate left. During the luncheon, and subsequently to it, there was an interesting musical performance. Mr. Stimpqon presided at the organ ; and more than 200 voices took part in the choral selections, which included the compositions of Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, and other eminent composers. The following choral ode, written for the occasion by W. Bartholomew ; set to music by Mrs. Moun4ey Bartholomew, was sung in the course of the proceedings at the luncheon : WOMEN. Is glory only won By deeds of valour done? MEN. Though-glory's brightest rays Adorn the victor's bays, Its purest beams alight On all who take delight In wisdom's ways. WOMEN.

Thenlail, all hail, Prince Oonsort of Victoria 1 Hail, patron of the arts that dignify her crown. May grace divine Exalt her line! Her glory and renown Encircle thine The Noble PRESIDENT; in giving the first toast, said — May it 'Awe your Royal Highness, my lords and gen tlemen,—l beg to propose a customary toast—that of " Her Majesty the Queen." (Loud cheers.) I say cus tomary, but I am convinced that in this place there will be no want of heartiness in responding to it. We hive great reason to be thankful for the blessings we enjoy under the mild and constitutional sway of her Majesty, and tar the bright example which she shows to all. I do not hesitate to say, that beloved as her Majesty is as our Sovereign, she is no less admired as a wife and mother. (Loud cheers.) I beg to propose "Her Majesty the Queen." The toast was followed by the national anthem, which was sung with thrilling effect by a full choir, ac companied by the magnificent organ. The Noble PRESIDENT, on again rising, said—My lords and gentlemen,—l feel somewhat embarrassed in propos ing the next toast, inasmuch as it relates to the illustri ous Prince on my right hand. I will not offend or wound his delicacy by saying in his presence what I might otherwise have been tempted to do. But this I will say, that Birmingham is deeply indebted to his Royal High ness for his presence here to-day, and I trust that the building begun under such happy auspices will be ere long completed, and that when completed the instruc tion and means of improvement will be imparted to the working classes which the illustrious Prince is so anxi ous to promote. (Loud cheers.) I therefore beg to propose without further preface, "The Health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert." (The toast was re ceived with great enthusiasm.) His Royal Highness PRINCE ALBERT said in reply — My lord, I am much obliged to you for proposing my health in such kind terms, and I cannot but be much gratified by the cordial reception which you, gentle men, have been pleased to give to this toast. It has been a great pleasure to me to have been able to participate, in however trifling a degree, in a work which I do not look upon as a simple act of wcrldly wisdom on the part of this great town and locality, but as one of the first public acknowledgements of a princip • e which is daily forcing its way amongst us, and is destined to play a great and important part in the future development of this nation and of the world in general—l mean, the introduction of science and art as the conscious regulators of productive industry. The courage and spirit of enterprise with which an immense amount of capital is embarked in industrill pursuits, and the skill and indefatigable perseverance with which these are carried on in this country, cannot but excite univer sal admiration ; but in all our operations, whether agri cultural t r manufacturing, it is not we who operate, but the laws of nature, which we have set in operation. It is, then, of the highest importance that we should know these laws, in order to know what we are about, and the reason why certain things are, which occur daily under our hands, and what course we are to pur sue with regard to them. Without such knowledge we are condemned to one of three states :—Either we merely go on to do things juat as our fathers did, and for no better reason than because they did them so—or, trusting to som e p ersona l aut h or it y , we adopt at random the recommendation of some specifics il a speculative hope that it may answer—or, lastly, e! d !! this is the most favourable case, we ourselves .imr si y; upon certain processes; but this can only b e b u tn7Z and of an experience hardly earned and comp y From which, after all, can only embrace a c d o e nl p p l ir al raSvf l Y space of time, and a small number of exp progress ; for none of these causes can we hope for muc h o aterials to work the mind, however ingenious, has no ens the causes of pbenorn with, and remains in presence But these laws of nature painting nti ng thoseand regulating th e of which are hidden from it. of b e ing discovered —these Divine laws—are capable L. an d sa ugw, made our own. and understood, and of being d whilst science discovers This is the task of science-and teaches their application.

We have seen, accordingly, many of them slumber for cen turies ; but from the moment that science has touched them with her magic wand, they have sprung forward and taken strides which amaze and almost awe the be holder.

Its perusal is ,articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled: Is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are nneiples of personal management which cannot be violated without lcurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed .us heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties sy be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, tnd how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, It there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional i r ,angement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
