The POLICIES arc INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, the Company being prohibited, by the 514th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis putlng a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for tile first five years at little more than half the trual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security Of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER-HIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in- Vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered,from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

P.TEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Bald ness remove d an d pr vented, by the use of BRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENE RATOR. If You are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain throutt the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer. an lls. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, nighgath), which has been long known to the nobility and sentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, bat may be read in his pamphlet,, in which the bottles are e n closed. Eaeh pamphlet has the signature of William Orimstone, Merchant, ll erbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, un , er the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two Postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or Us., which in cludes the postage with the case. The I Is. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect far a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, You will remember the thousands of blind you meet with In your Walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because It cured Ophthalmia, Clutta Serena, Cater , ct, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was au act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Griinstone, bearing date 18th February, I 525. Tills was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family, But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped. GRIMSTONE'S MEDICATED EYE SNUFF, sold in canisters, inclosed in a pamphlet of medical and other testimonials, under the Government order, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. tid. each.

Loud roared the cannons' thundur, When princely Albert came; The air was rent asunder With the plaudits to his name. It was a glorious day, And one of proud display : Hearts were light —scenes were bright, On the day of Thames's Show. Now launched upon the river, The royal bark appeirs ; While smiling thousands give her A wt lcome in their cheers. For la, in that fair bark, The royal guests they mark : Hearts were light —scenes were bright, On the day of Th,mes's Show. The sight was one of beauty, In which E. M. and Son Proved they had done their duty, As they have ever done. Crowds elegantly dressed, In countless numbers pressed, To survey, objects gay, On the day of Thames's Show. The day in triumph closes, And what remains for us, But to aid the Mart of Moses. Whose dress attracted thus? This Mart in sight appears, Let's hail it with our cheers ! Much was done, by M. and Son, On the day of Thames's Show. LIST OF PRIOEt7. READ. MADE.

One hall the would era desolately single, and the other , apposing them married, questenedy contented. Diffidence, or a Jens° of right determine the former, and miscalculate 4 hopes em .itter the latter. The sc.litary ono may shield himself under the plea 3t caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un ,oelProsing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, uttt broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness content. The dowry should not he the enly marriage sat dement. Honour and justice denesuiti that health shouldform au item et the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er Reflect weend more sorely Lima poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little AEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in S vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, It. 6d. each). Let no Imaginatively refined, cr prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered sv misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining ram. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cteriesity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subsets, by unqualified authors, which alone or :ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, ay f est Is. 61.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Ivaid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamp Nets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings pf the hour, but the study of the author's !ife who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob serv.inca of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he woe.,,t he done nnte—to Uve after nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

And of this I am persuaded, that there was great truth in the remark I once heard from that accom plished and experienced man Prince Talleyrand, when ambassador in London :—" Depend upon it there is no such thing as labour lost. Depend upon it, what • ever branch of study you pursue, and however re condite or remote its utility may seem, a time may come, and when you least expect it, that you will derive practical advantage from it, and sea the good effects of having turned your minds to it." I believe in the truth of these emphatic words, and repeat to you that there is no such thing in study as labour lost.--(Loud cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, I spoke just now of the greatness of the sphere of study, but in what I said I fear I did that sphere great in. justice, since I spoke of it only as subject to rule and mensuration and limits of space, and since I did not advert to the awakening of that immortal spirit within, as shown in various ages and in different countries, and which, as thus developed, constitutes the science of history. This is a branch of study al together different to that of the material world to which I have already adverted. I should be unwill ing to speak with any undue preference of any branch of study from which I have found especial pleasure, but I think I shall show no undue partia lity if I say that those who are inclined to pursue it will find that it :yr ields to few others in interest and pleasure.—(Hear, hear.) Now, to many amongst you it may be impossible to etudy at any length the more elaborate and extensive histories which are to be found of various times and of various nations; but what I do commend to you is to ascertain, either by s which h y p o r u e v a r i e l a e d d , 11 7 the d e ffo r e le c en t d u t gr ages,ee s o y the o a u n ds h t a e a t a l es r 0, the or manner at t nh h noe thoughts and feelings of the great and good in various ages of the world. These two branches, the state of manners, and the deeds of men who deserve to be held in remembrance —these two branches, not being of any great length, ' as to the manner of treating them, but admitting of easy elucidation in essays and short lectures, are within your own attainment. Now, ladies and gen tlemen, if on this point I may venture to give you any counsel, it would be this, —not to neglect any inci dent, however slight, however trifling, or unimpor tant it may appear to you at the time, either in manners or in biography, if by those incidents the accurate facts of the case and the true delineation of character can be brought out to you. Do not, from a false idea of the dignity of history, neglect the sources of information most r, adily accessible and within your reach ; for, in my opinion, great characters are often best portrayed by little circum stances. But, perhaps, some little instances may make my meaning clearer. I will mention an instance, not of any importance in itself, but merely as making clearer the meaning I am seeking to explain. Any one who has had occasion to look into the stirring time:- of the history of Scotland during the life of Queen Mary, may have observed there is very little known of the real life and character of the Earl of Marr ; yet the Earl was in those times a man of some importance, and, in the period after Mary was de throned, Regent of that kingdom. In the general history of Scotland you will find little of his charac ter; but if it so happened that any of you were in Scotland, and were ascending the Castle hill of Stir ling, whence so' splendid a prospect unfolds itself, he would from that hill observe a ruined edifice con structed by the Earl of Marr, and still bearing the name of " Marr's Work ;" and if he consulted the local history of Stirling, he wonld find that the Earl had constructed that place from the ruins of a neigh bouring abbey, and had thereby incurred much censure; and he inscribed on its portals these two lines— all parties may gladly combine.—(Hear, hear.) This is a proud national feeling.—(Cheers.) It is no reason whatever why you may not, if you think it desirable, urge any change in our laws or customs which, on reflection, you think right; but it is a reason why you should ale ays be proud of your country.—(Cheers.) Whatever course you may take in the future, looking back remember this, that you have a right to be proud of being Englishmen, and of feeling prou 1 in the name of Englishmen (Cheers.) I tell you that, looking to the course of the last few centuries, and to the position of English. men honour has become a part of your birthright, and I call upon you never by any act of yours to forfeit or forego your best inheritance.—(Great ap plause.) Much may not be in the power of every one of you, but something there undoubtedly is.— (Hear, hear.) It is in the power of every one of you whether he will add an unit to the debtor or to the creditor side of the account.—(Hear, and cheers.) It is in the power of every one of you to deter mine whether he shall add only more to the number of industrious and well-principled, and well-conducted subjects, or whether he shall add one to those who determinede flanc e. in spurn at knowledge, who d er id e goo d con d uc t, an d the by powersnch acts of o a n n y his one own who set, a s f ar as i n th em li es, l aw and principle at ofpyarott: heto shall augment or whether,iminish, as far as in him lies, the ancient honour of England. (Hear, hear.) And thus far, I think that the feeling 1 have mentioned is no idle vaunt, is not a mere retrospect of past glory, but should be instinctive in our minds, each according to the lights of his conscience—each according to what his judgment and understanding approve, to do that which he believes to be conducive to the good and the greatness of this his native country.— (Cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, there is yet another point of view in which I think that the study of manners and customs of various periods may be fraught with advantage. It may teach you to see that every 'state of society has advantages of' its own, that we cannot look at any as being fraught with unmixed evil or unmixed good.—(Hear.) Now, if we look even, for instance, at the very rough state of society before this your flourishing town was called into being, when the hills and molds of York shire were only roamed over by the shepherd or the herdsman, or at best the farm labourer, even in that rough state of society we cannot deny that there was the advantage of pure air and healthful exercise. We must acknowledge that of the working man it might then be said, in the words of the poet— " Early at morn he starts from short repose, Breathes the' keen air and carols as he goes." But, on the other hand, when you look at a later state of society, see how many comforts and advantages which did not then exist are within reach, and, above all, what especially concerns this institution, see what sources of intellectual pleasure and instruction are now to be found which at that period were not only altogether wanting, but altogether unknown.—(Hear, hear.) So that you see, that while we lose on the one side, we certainly gain greatly on the other ; but I should be disappointed if the study of these two periods did net also suggest a further lesson. Might it not be passible to bring the advantages of the first period home, in a great measure, to the people of the second?—(hear, hear.) Why need we despair of , eeing, by improvements, that pure air and pure water which farmed one great advantage of the rougher state of society, brought home to you, even to the most crowded nooks and bypaths of our most peopled cities.—(Loud cheers.) You should not be content merely with the abstract theory that there were advantages here and there, but you should apply your minds as you may be able, re taining the advantages you possess, to acquire those which your forefathers held before you.—(Hear, bear.) And I do think that with regard to these measures of health—measures not belonging to one party, but which every party must agree to promote —I do think with regard to those measures much has to be done by the industry, information, and intelli gence of such meetings as that which I have now the honour to address.—(Hear.) It is an object which I hope will be present in your thoughts and wishes, and which, if present in your thoughts and wishes, I shall trust to see at no distant day accomplished; and I am sure it is to be promoted in no slight degree by those habits of order and study, and by those habits which are the consequences of those pursuits, result ing in no small measure from institutions such as that before me.—(Hear and cheers.) Ladies and gentlemen, I will now no longer detain you. Residing, as I do at a great distance from you, to the south of the Thames, I know not whether it may ever be my good fortune to meet you here again ; but of this I am certain, that whether I look to the national interests with which your own are inseparably bound, or whether I remember the kindness and warmth with which you have this evening welcomed me —whether, I look, I say, at public motives or at private—l can never think of you with any feeling approaching to indifference ; and wherever I may be, or in whatever pursuits engaged, I shall always joy to hear, as I trust I always may do, of the prosperity ! and welfare, the moral and intellectual improvement, of the people of Leeds. (The Noble Chairman con cluded his speech, which occupied three- quarters of an hour in the delivery, amidst loud cheers, which were continued for several seconds.) Mr. T. WILSON, the President of the Institution, read letters from the Earl of Harewoed, the Rev. Dr. Hook, Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. J. G. Marshall, M,P., and other influential persons who had been invited to attend the soirée, but were not able. lle then pro ceeded to call attention to the present condition ' and prospects of the institution. It was form d, as is known, by the union of two other insti tutions, in 1842 ; at that time they had 667 members ; in 1843 they had 750 ; in 1844 they had 770 ; in 184(1 their members had increased to 1,244; in 1847 they were 1,554; and the last time they met in this way they were told the number of members was 1,868. The number on the books at the present moment was 1,820 ; and when it was considered that this was taken at an earlier period of the year, and when members were invariably less numerous than they were a month later, they must regard this number as quite as favourable as at the period of their last soirée. —Wear, hear.) Then as to the number of volumes in their library; when they were first united to the Literary Institution they possessed 5 066 volumes; and this number had gradually increased until they now possessed 7.270. Within six years there had been an increase of 2 000 volumes, and there would have been half as many more if the members had been more careful of the books they had taken out.— (Hear, hear.) The number of volumes issued during the year had been 42,702, and of periodicals 7,101. The Hon. and Rev. the Dean of RIPON, in an argumentative and eloquent speech, proposed the first resolution : THE LEEDS MECHANICS' INSTITUTE. LEEDS, SATUEDAY•—The annusl festival of the Leeds Mechanics' Institution and Literary Society was held yesterday evening in the spacious Stock Exchange, Albion street, Leeds, under the presidency of Lord Mahon, M.P., who had been specially invited to take the chair. Amongst the other distinguished guests present were, the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Ripen, Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., Mr. R. M. Milnes, M.P., Mr. J. 11. Shaw (the Mayor of Leeds), the Rev. W. Sinclair (President of the Leeds Philo sophical Society), &c. Altogether upwards of 600 persons were present, including members of the chief families in the town and neighbourhood, and many of the middle, but few of the lower classes. Soon after seven o'clock, tea having been fully par taken of, Lord ikariciez took the chair amidst great cheering. After the applause had subsided, the Noble Lord said —Ladies and gentlemen, it is with much gratification to myself that I have come amongst you to make myself acquainted, as I have done, with the details of your institution, and to congratulate you, as I now do, on the course you have pursued. You have chosen to cultivate a taste for reading in literature and science, not merely as an occupation in itself, but as a relief from other occupations. You have felt that after the duties of your daily toil have been performed, and whilst resting in the body, you might still employ the mind. Well and wisely have you chosen—well and wisely, even, had you no other end in view than the passing gratification of the hour; for if it be true, as we often hear it said, that knowledge is power, it ' certainly is not less true that knowledge is pleasure— (Applause)—and, like other pleasures, this pleasure has no bounds or limits on this earth; it can never be fully attained or overpassed, but, like the horison, the further we advance, the more widely it spreads out before us.—(" Hear, hear," and applause.) I think, ladies and gentlemen, that in whatever atten tion I have been able to give to this subject there is nothing which has struck me more than to find how nearly immeasureable is the sphere of human know ledge. We have not yet been able to discover the extreme limits of the realms of space or yet of mie nute smallness. II we look at the discoveries of the microscope, we shall find they have been carried to a great extent by Professor Ehrenberg and other phi losophers now living; they have carried them so far as to discover animals so tiny that several millions might stand altogether on a space not larger than a thumb-nail. But then our discoveries only seem limited by the the imperfection of the instruments we use, and there is no reason to doubt that by further improvements in them we may, as heretofore, find new races of beings starting into view. O n this side, therefore, the extreme limit, so far as we can see, has not yet been discovered. If we look to the other extreme, so far as the realms of space are concerned, we find that by the telescope lately constructed by the Earl of Rosso, with so much of well-directed skill, and so much of liberal expense—that telescope has shown us that what we before looked upon as luminous clouds re solve themselves into clusters of stars, each star the centre, no doubt, of other worlds revolving around it. Thus in this direction, also, the sphere of discovery has been limited only by the imperfection of the instru ments we use ; and it has been supposed by Sir John Herschel that some of these bodies in the spheres of space are so remote, that although their light must have been thousands of years in travelling towards us —and although light travels so fast that from the sun to the earth it passes its course in a few moments — yet the light from these further bodies might even yet have scarcely reached us. Thus, then, on either side, see how wide the extremities are apart from each other ! See how wide is the sphere of knowledge, itself the if imagination even endeavours to grasp to the space between, it is almost overpowered by the greatness of the intervals, and can scarcely form to it self . such immensity of space. This, then,is the sphere of knowledge. It may be said, indeed, that the greater part by far of this sphere can be an object only of conjecture, or, at the best, of calculation, but if even we limit ourselves to those objects contained in this globe on which we stand, and to those objects which our unassisted vision can perceive, even then how vast, how various is the sphere before us—(Ap plause) —and how may we with one traveller in one region of the world ascend the summit of the Andes or of the Alps, and with him assume, in the fine language of the poet— " Espy. Speak forth. I care not. Consider well. I care not." Now, I ask you, ladies and gentlemen, whether these two haughty and definite lines, slight though they be, do not give you a more vivid picture of character — do not bring the man more vividly before you—than many a score of general and rounded paragraphs ? (Loud cheers.) This is but a slight incident, yet it may serve to explain the meaning which I wish to dovelope and the counsel I am seeking to impart. But I will give you another instance, from times more near to our own, and with respect to a far greater man. I will give you a case from the life of Lord Nelson. Sir David Wilkie, the eminent artist, whose personal friendship I had the honour of enjoying, told me on one occasion that he had received a commission to paint any scene from the life of Lord Nelson which lie might select, the selection being left entirely in his own hands. He told me it was therefore his inten tion to study with care the career of Lord Nelson, and t:: paint whatever scene in it he might think most descriptive of the hero's character. On the next occasion when I saw him lie told me he had selected for his picture a circumstance so slight that many an earlier historian, I am quite sure, would have passed it altogether, although it did not escape the eloquent and discerning pen of Southey. I dare say from Southey's works the story will be known to you. It is merely this—how during the siege of Copenhagen, Lord Nelson resolved, from motives of humanity, to send off a letter with the proposal of ceasing hostilities, how he desired of an attendant to bring a lighted candle to seal the letter, how the attendant was struck down by a shot, how Lord Nelson desired another candle to be brought, and how when the captain suggested that a wafer would suffice, and that the hurry of the moment would excuse it, Lord Nelson said, " It is to show that we are in no hurry, that we are in no fear for ourselves, and that we act only from a motive of preventing the bloodshed of others."—(Hear, hear.) Now,. i this is but a slight incident, yet that celebrated painter se lected it in preference to any other scene n Lord Nelson's life ; in preference - to any scene in the glories of his exploits abroad and the pageantry of his recep tion at home.—(Cheers.) I cannot but think, ladies and gentlemen, that I am justified in telling you, from such instances that you are not to weigh the question whether the incidents are trifling or not, but to con sider whether they clearly illustrate the point before you ; whether they clearly illustrate the manners or the character which you wish to study; and that is the point which in these two instances I have endea voured to bring before you.—(Loud cheers.) I think, ladies and gentlemen, that with respect to descrip tions of manners at particular periods, there is one reflection which you may make in the course of any such reading, and which I think must be gratifying to you, as I myself have always found it—it is to find how high, at various periods, England has always stood among the nations of the world.—(flear, bear.) I think you may see instances where persons, wholly unconnected with this island, having no bias or partiality in its favour—how those men, writing at a distance from us, are yet compelled, with the force of to uth, at various times of history, to bear most striking testimony to the value of our liberties and laws. Nay more, even those periods which, looking at them by themselves, seem to us disastrous, were yet not disastrous when compared with the same period in the annals of the other states of Europe. Even when we were, practically speak ing, not high, we were comparatively high with regard to the other nations of the world. Of this, with your permission, I will give you one single in stance. Perhaps there is no one single time in our history which seems to us more disastrous than the period of the wars of the Roses, and the period which followed it. It was a scene of bloodshed and havoc, and the devastations from which, by the way, no county suffered more severely than this, your own county of York. It was a scene of so many and such various sanguinary outrages that, if I re member rightly, Hume says, in his History of England, that these things had tended altogether to confound historic truth, since the writers of the period were unable or unwilling to distinguish between those acts of havoc and slaughter which so nearly resembled each other ; and thus in their annals they are mixed and confounded with each other. This, then, was a disastrous period, followed by another disastrous period of misrule and oppression by the chiefs of the Government of England. But see what is said of England in that very period by a foreign writer of high authority—l allude to a French histo rian of great reputation, namely, Philip de Comines. He had no bias nor prejudice in favour of England. He sometimes sided with the King of France, and sometimes with the Duke of Burgundy; but to Eng land he had no tie whatever. Yet, when he comes to mention England in his history, h e no ti ces h er i n language something like this :—" Now, in my think ing, of all the seignories (he means states or dominions) of this earth, so far as I do know them, that state where the public weal is most cared for, and where the commonalty suffers least of oppression, and where the fewest houses are burnt or razed to the ground, or laid waste by men at-arms, that state is England.' Now is not this a high testimony, borne at that very period of misrule, by a writer of no bias in our favour ?—(Cheers.) I believe in the ensuing cen turies it might not be difficult to adduce similar tes timonies, from equally impartial authorities, showing how high we have ever since stood among the nations of the world. Now, clearly this is a feeling in which - - " To breathe The difficult air of the iced mountain's top, Where the birds dare not build nor. insect's wing Flit o'er the herbless granite;" while with another traveller, in a far distant region, we may dive into the recesses of the earth and ex plore the swarthy secrets of the mine. How great, then, how vast is the sphere of knowledge before you. In the pursuit of this knowledge I earnestly wish it were in my power, when now appearing hetore you, to offer y ou any word of counsel or of guidance that could by possibility be of advantage to you. Let me, in the first instance, express my hope that whenever you open the great book of nature you may always do so with a devout and reverent feeling towards the Almighty Author of all.—(Hear, hear.) I am not unmindfnl of the fact that I am here addressing mem bers of other forms of Christian faith besides my own. Nothing shall pass my lips in the shape of controversy, or which can give pain to others, but I desire to warn you against that irreligion which is their and our common enemy.—(hear, hears) Be assured that those minds most deeply embued with the discoveries of science are the least inclined to treat sacred subjects with anything approaching to irreverence. It may have happened to many among you in passing some church or chapel. or other place of worship, to observe whilst the worshippers were busy within, there were some scoffers at the doors. Just so is it with the temple of science. It is only at its portals that the scoffers can be found.— (Cheers.) Those who hive entered that temple, who have studied its mys teries, who have heard the voice of its oracle, are the most deeply impressed with the truth that there is an Almighty Being above us, and that he has deigned to reveal himself to man. You must bear in mind that such men as Newton;and Pascal, and some of the greatest minds this world has ever known, were not at the first free from doubts and scepticism, but as their experience increased, as their observation ex tended, as their judgment became matured, they be came devout and reverent believers in a Supreme Power.—(Hear, hear.) Bear this truth in mind. Many of you may not have leisure or opportunity to examine for yourselves the arguments on which these truths are founded, but bear this fact in mind, that these arguments have subdued minds infinitely stronger than our own—minds, so far as philosophy and science are concerned, infinitely greater than any of the present age. This is surely no unimportant reflection, and one which I commend earnestly to your serious consideration and thought. Ladies and gentlemen, there is another counsel, though of far less importance, which I will venture to give you. I advise yor. not to aim at mastering too many sub jects of study at the same time. Vor whom am I addressing now? I am not addressing those who have it in their power to devote their whole lives to study and science—l am addressing those who most meritoriously are anxious after their daily toil to give what hours remain to them to these pursuits. Well, then, if in these few hours you aim at too many sub jects of study, the consequence must be that you will fail to attain proficiency in any one ; you will never have the instruction you seek, nor even the pleasure you are desirous to attain; for, depend upon it, plea sure is not to be found in mere superficial acquire ments.—(Applause.) I would therefore recommend you to aim at only one or two subjects of study con jointly, and make yourselves masters of them before you aim at anything further. Then, when you have really obtained a well-grounded knowledge on these subjects—then, and then only, will you have the pleasure which a mere hasty glance at such subjects will altogether fail to impart. If you ask me to what subjects you should apply yourselves, I say, that on this poi;;t you should very much consult your own inclination ; for, observe, I am not now speaking o f the points to which your calling or your walks of life may claim your attention ; I am speaking of 3 our "In proportion as the elementary education of the people increases in amount, and improvs in quality, the greater will be the necessity for institutions like this, to maintain the instruction that has been acquired, and to gratify a desire for a higher and more extended know ledge, that will be awakened." ' ' Kir. E. BAINES hrialy seconded the resolution, which was adopted unanimously, as were all the subs( quent ones. Mr:lt. M. MILNEs, MT in an eloquent speech, proposed the following sentiment : " To impart a taste for artistic beauty, and to give familiarity with the principles on which it rests, should be one of the objects of popular education." Mr. J. A. ROEBUCK, 11I.P , then rose and was received with loud and reiterated plaudits. When these had subsided he said—My Lord, I am always puzzled when I am called upon to address a meeting of this sort. I know not why I should be thought at all able, on an occasion like the present, to address an assembly like this with any hope either of amusing or instructing them. I am a plain working-man.— (Laughter.) My business is so much with this life, that in these mere displays of artistic lore, or rhetoric power, I cannot pretend to address myself with any success ; but I do see, from what I have heard tonight, that there are things of practical ap plication in meetings like this; I can watch you, my Lord; I can watch the Rev. the Dean; and I can watch the Hon. Member for Pontefract, all addressing themselves to some particular idea as connected with the working classes of this country. But there is something beyond all this. I ern sure my Hon. Friends need not suppose I am going to impute to them anything that is not of the highest honour. But what makes us all here to night so different from our ancestors? What is the distinctive mark of the present generation, so different from those which have preceded us ? What calls me here ? What has called the Rev. Dean lwre to address you? and what induces the Member for Pontefract and all of us to congregate together here to-night ? It is this, that there is a new element in the social and political life, which has reared itself, unaided, into a formidable position, which excites attention, and, in some minds, creates alarm. And then those minds, which like yours, my Lord, look into futu rity, and see what may come, watch, and see, and feel, that there is a power, which it may be well if they can direct; there is an influence which it may be well should not be malevolent.—( They watch the signs of the times—and so do I. I glory in that tone which is thus manifested to night.—.. (Cheers) It is the popular influence that is at work ; and my Hon. Friend the Member for Ponte.- fract is right when he says that he has not to defend AND 96 Ana mp to E mi p c i al mE C w olo T nre s T a ct En mA gra ßß yin T : G on goy; Edition, enlarged to 196 Steel. c r i a T t y cd , by THIRTIC-FIRST EDITIO N.

The people will educate themselves; and here is my Hon. Friend Mr. Baines behind us, who has not spoken because he found that he was triumphant to-night—that the people do educate themselves, and will educate themselves ; and that an institution like the present is one of the e:rongest arguments against me, when he is in favour of the • voluntary education of the people. It is a great thing; and I say it distinguishes the present time from all others. It i s a l toge th er a c i rcumstance which marks you out and t a k es you f rom b ygone centuries. And though there are many who mai sneer at us, and look co n t emp t uous l y at Mechanics Insti tutions, yet depend up on it th e n i neteenth century is by nothing so much marked as by this I see here, and which that eccentric n o bl eman , re f erre d to b y the Dean of Ripon, had much to do with bringing out, but which we, I believe, have carried far beyond his highest expectation.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Chairman has endeavoured to advise you in respect to your studies, and I was a good deal struck by his observations, for I found, from what he said, that he did not altogether appreciate the present state of things among the labouring population of this coun try. Now, in acquiring knowledge, depend on it that the large mass of knowledge is acquired by every individual by himself—it is not taught him ;it is learned, it is acquired. And with respect to the class of which my Hon. Friend has spoken, which has leisure, Ido not believe that the leisure which they have prepares them so well for the acquirement of knowledge, as that industry which is of necessity the portion of the labouring man, and which he brings, in the hours which he can spare, to the acquisition of knowledge. And I prove it in this way—all the great advances of knowledge, all the great works which have been done for mankind, have not been done by the leisure class—(Cheers)—but have been done by the labouring classes, those classes who have had to work for their livelihood ; and who, after acquiring those habits of industry, bring those habits to the acquirement of knowledge ; and, using those stern habits in the race with the dilettanti, press upon and outstrip them, because the latter is as dilatory in his modes of pursuing knowledge as in his habits of pleasure. Therefore, I believe that the Noble Lord mistook when he advised you to take up any particular branch of study; and I take up his Lorchhip, who being himself an historian, illustrates ' everything by history, just as my Hon. Friend the Member for Pontefract, being partly a poet and partly a politician, has illustrated his arguments by these two things.—(Cheers.) But if I were to take the working man and ask him to illustrate to me the benefits of knowledge, do you think he would speak to me of the danger of diffuse study ? Do you think he would simply illustrate from the peculiarities of antiquarian lore and history? No; he would take a far wider field, a far more philosophical view of what he derives from knowledge. He would say, there is that knowledge which for himself alone, without regard to others, gives to life its salt and savour; and there is also, beside all that, the knowledge which makes him to his fellow beings a worthy associate and a means of beneficence to those around him. Now, mark, that is not the dilettanti mode of illustrating that of which I have been speaking. He says—here is a knowledge which I love for its own sake ; it is something which is to me the salt and savour of life.—(bear, hear.) It is not to genius we speak. Associations like these are not made for genius: that has inspirations and aspi rations of which we know nothing—genius " Sees a hand we cannot see That beckons it away, And hears a voice we cannot hear, That bids it not to stay." —(Cheers.) Therefore, with its aspirations we have nought to do. We have to consider man—the ordi nary man, and what he derives from knowledge. I know it is usually the habit in associations like this to pick out persons who, under difficulties, have raised themselves from the lowest to the highest ranks, and altogether made themselves different from what they were before. Now, I confess I do not look on this as an advantage. I like to see man in whatever position of life he is ; if he is a genius, he will mount out of it, whatever happens. But I want us all, in whatever sphere, to be happy and virtuous.—(Rear, hear, and applause.)—Knowledge makes us so, and it is for that I wish to acquire knowledge.—(Hear, hear.) I have no care whether or not it frightens anybody that people should be learned. I have seen states—we know them, my Lord—in which there are classes who are forbidden to learn. In this country, centuries back, we were like this, but we have outgrown these things; we have forgotten them, and all are on a perfect level as to the acquirement of knowledge ; and no class can be distinguished from another by the mere acquire ment of science or literature. We are all alike ; and, as in social life, the peculiar advantages of scientific knowledge are placed within the reach of all, so far as knowledge is concerned, each is placed upon an equality with every other man ; and that to my mind appears the true equality and the true fraternity which philosophers desire; and which do not mean those fanciful notions which are elsewhere held. True equality is that of a man standing by himself alone, his knowledge acquired by his own means, and having that supremacy above the lower animals to which man was destined—that supremacy of knowledge which leads to virtue, without which we cannot be happy.—(Hear, hear.) It is for this, then, that I look so favourably on an institution 'like this ; it makes us all, my Lord, entertain right notions of true equality, it teaches us to have those sympathies which nature intended, and which you have always felt vehemently; it makes us all under stand each other as true men ; it is the bond of know lQdge which is the tie which shall unite us to each ether.—(Cheers.) Now, the clock, my Lord, ad monishes me that I ought no longer to detain you.— (Loud cheers, and cries of "Go en.") There is one observation I would make, with the greatest humility possible, and without attempting at all to touch upon one particular which some persons think ought to be excluded from all associations like this. But you will perhaps say, every man to his trade. I cannot help looking at associations like this with reference to the government of the state. I cannot help it. .1 dare say the Reverend Dean looks upon them with refer ence to a higher class of thoughts and feelings than in ordinary circumstances would enter into my mind. I cannot help looking into these institutions with reference to the government of the country. I would wish to speak of them—of course not using the word in a theological sense—with a truly catholic feeling, and I should like to see a truly catholic spirit with reference to all classes of knowledge pervading them. —(Cheers.) Whether you discuss questions of poli tics, or the sides of a triangle ; whether you investi gate religion ; whether you inquire into analogies, or rest simple dynamics, which you can reduce to a formula, it is my desire to see you actuated by the same calm and philosophic spirit in the one case as in the other.—(l.lcm-, hear.) I therefore wish to introduce habits of research into assemblies like this —I speak not of this assembly, but of the institution —and you should go one step further, and look into metaphysical and political knowledge, and instructing yourselves not only with regard to the civil and mer cantile relations of life, but look also into the moral influences by which our whole lives are governed. And if we could by such questions—which usually end unfortunately lead to habits of quarrelling and antagonism—attain habits of quietness while probing these questions, I should say we have done mere to produce quiet, happiness, and good fellowship among us all than by any other mode which could by pos sibility have been pursued. Now, I have spoken with a desire to throw out an idea. I have spoken upon the matter in' the most guarded manner, in the hope and desire that some of you may seize upon that idea and see to its being carried out.—(Hear.) Without wishing to take up another moment of your time, I would ask of you, in support of institutions like this, to divest yourselves as much as possible of all feel ings, of caste and class. The Dean has spoke, nof washed-up artizsns , and, as this is a mechanic in stitution, I hope that it will be the means of doing what it does not at present—of bringing the artizan amongst us, and introducing a close ehi alliance tiereis w between no all classes of society, without Ii safety ; and that we shall be with which in the bro therhood of knowledge and of feeling, and make this what it now calls itself , but which, I fear, it has not been—a mechanics' institute.—(Loud applause.) Mr. W. E. FoasTea proposed, and Mr. W. BRAY LET, of London, seconded , "'That the effect cf institutions for popular instruc tion, as proved by large experience, is in many ways to promote the study and successful pursuit of industry, and thus to advance both the happiness of individuals and national prosp Thy." The Rev. W. SINCLAIR, who was much cheered, proposed too following sentiment:— " That the union of men institutions of different classes and par ties in these and at their mutual meetings tends to the r emova l of pre j udice, and the cultivation of friendly aed harmonious feeliug, and thus to the knitting together of society with advantage to its moral interests and the general good." The Rev. 11. R. REYNOLDS (Independent) se conded it. The MAYOR of Leeds proposed, and Mr. CHunca seconded— Mr. Mr. Mr. " That the boil thanks of this meeting be given to Viscount Mahon for the honour he has done the Lisa " .nat the thanks of this meeting; be given to tko Doan of RipJn,. the Members of Parliament, and the other friends of education who have hinoured 113 svith thcir company on the present occasion." Mr. R. W. HAMILTON proposed, and Mr. ST. 3. Wan ELIIOUSE seconded-- " That the thinks of the meeting be given to these ladies who h ave ki ndly presided at the tables.

At the meeting of the City Commissioners of Sewers to be held this day, the following motion by Mr. Under-Sheriff Millard will be taken into considera tion i l mediately aft( r the reading of,the minutes and the petitions to the Court :—" That the salary of the prin cipal clerk, in consideration of his long services and in creased duties, be hereafter 6001. a-year." The length of service of the chi( f clerk, who has been an indefati gable servant of the Court, is eighteen years, and the increase of his duties includes everything contained in the sanitary regulation of the City of London, besides the usual and ordinary duties of the clerk. The City of London Sewers Commission, it is proper to say, compre hends a much more extensive range of business than that appointed for the metropolitan districts, which is for sewers alone., for the former takes in lighting, pav ing, cleansing, and improvements, embracing a great variety of duties. THE RECENT CAPTURE OF A WHALE AT GRAYS. —The whale which was recently captured at Grays. on the Essex coast, has been put up to auction, but, owing to the limited notice of the sale which was given, there were but few bidders, and it was bought in for 20!. The purchasers are expect( d to realise 150/. by their bargain. The Lord Mayer, us Conservator of the River, claimed the whale, and, having asserted his right to it, gave it up to the captors upon the condition of their not taking it to any poplous ph.c.) for show, in consequence of its offensive smell. The process of cutting it up and boil ing it was performed by Messrs. Griffin and Edevain, oil merchants, of Maiden-lane, and occupied seven men during eight days. About thirteen tons of blubber was cut off, leaving upwards of twenty tons of meat on this enormoue, animal. It will produce about eight tons of pure oil. It took eight horses, with double tackle and falls, to turn it ov, r. OPENING OF TIIE COAL ETCHANGE.—Messrs.
