IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing albs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 7d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own wagZons to any station in London.

MAN KILLED ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY.— On Monday morning a fatal accident occarred at the New cross station of the London and Brighton Railway to a man named Jambs Sayers, a platelayer, in the employ of the company. It appears that the deceased was engaged i n his usual occupation near one of the bridges situate a sh ort distance from the station, when ho stepped out of the w a y of an approaching down train. In doing so, however, he unfortunately appears to have failed to perceive the up Dover express train, and stepping immediately in front of it, he was knocked down and hurled a considerable distance. When picked up the body presented a frightful spectacle, one foot being completely severed, and the legs and thighs broken, and the head sustaining such injuries that death must have been instantaneous. The remains of the de ceased, who was a single man, and who had only been in the company's employ about two months, having been col lected, were removed to a neighbouring inn to await an inquest, ►wing ,ween L.

This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know-nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

STAMPED, SD. ours there wet inevit a bly exist wide differences in the rank, wealth, intellect, and position of people generally, but institutions like this by bringing into close contact, and into friendly relationship, persons occupying different positions in society, produce a kindly feeling between the upper and the working classes. Happiness, a s great i f not greater than what falls to the lot of rich, may be enjoyed by the sons of toil. A great English poet, Words worth, has beautifully expressed this : " Believe it not, The primal duties shine aloft like stf.rs. The charities that soothe, a nd heal, and bless, Are scattered at the feet of men like flowers, The generous inclination—the just will, Kind wishes, and good actions, and pure th ou g hts : No mystery is here ;—no special boon For high and not for low,—for largely graced, And not for meek of heart. The smoke avoids To heaven as lightly from the cottage hearth, As fronrihe haughty palace." (Applause.) And if, on the one hand, the influences of a Working Men's College inspire its members with feelings of respect for those who lend them help,—they also teach the wealthier classes that the more highly edu cated the artizan, the more valuable is he to society, and the better citizen does he become. They show both classes that their interests are always identical, and never antagonistic. This is a working age, and the path of greatness is open to all. Some of those who have amassed the largest fortunes in this king dom have been the sins of men little better than unskilled labourers; and it is the proudest boast of the free institutions of this free nation that where ever there is energy, perseverance, and ability,— wherever there are the " three P's"—as Mr. Train has so pithily put it,—the pathway lies open from the lowest and humblest walks in life to the highest and most honourable positions in the realm. (Cheers.) But there must exist in the mind a deter mination to succeed. Ambition must prompt you to work for greatness. Our poet-laureate has well described this dawn of ambition in a youth begin ning life : " Eager hearted, as a boy when first he leaves his father's field, And at night along the dusky highway, near and nearer drawn, Sees in heaven the light of London, flaring like a dreary dawn : And his spirit leaps within him, to be gone before him then Underneath the light he looks at, in among the throngs of men." (Applause.) But to go back again to the resolution I have been asked to propose, let me repeat that in stitutions like ours are deserving of support on ac count of the friendly feelings which they beget be tween all classes of society, as well as for the benefits they confer on the members. The success of this meeting is not due alone to the presence of the learned and eloquent gentlemen around me who have come from great distances and at much personal inconve nience to lend their help. We owe a great deal of thanks to the ladies who have so kindly presided at the tables, and who have taken so much trouble in making all the arrangements. lam sure Ido not know what we should do without the help of the ladies ! Whenever they lend their elevating and humanising influences to any institution it is sure to succeed. Let us then give a hearty vote of thanks to them for their presence and aid to-night. (Cheers.) Dr. Adam then read the following resolution— ", That the hearty thanks of the members be pre sented to the ladies who have kindly presided at the tables on this occasion." (Loud and prolonged applause.) Mr. HURST seconded the proposition. The Choir sang a beautiful glee, "Ye Gentlemen of England." Mr. BURRELL then proposed a vote of thanks to the members and gentlemen who had attended to aid their efforts by their presence. M. STANILAND, Esq., acknowledged the compli ment, and said it gave him great pleasure to meet them. Loud cries were heard for Mr. Train ; " Train," Train," was shouted throughout the Hall. At Length, Mr. TRAIN rose and said--The hour was late, but if they liked he would talk till midnight. He be lieved in the electricity of good nature. The last speaker (Mr. S.) had brought an idea to his mind of vital importance to the working men. It was in reference to the question of drink ; and he was happy to find that such a glorious meeting had been got together without the aid of intoxicating drink ; they might have been drunk intellectually but not physically. Nothing was so important to a working man as care in the beverage which , he selected ; and it was a remarkable fact that in all the public meetings he had attended in every part of the world, he had never seen a chair man dare to face an audience with a bottle of port or champaigne on the table. He had himself been in high life below stairs, and low life above stairs, but he had never drank a glass of intoxicating drink in his life. While whirling over 300,000 miles of travel he had always abstained. At Java they told him the water was bad and he had better put a little brandy in it, but he declined ; the same at Shanghai, at Singapore, at Nijni Novgovod on the banks of the Volga, and so almost in every part of the world the water was said to be bag unless it was diluted, but he did not believe them. The drinking habit was a very bad and mischievous one—it undermined the strength and sapped the system. He had long remembered Gough describe the gradual growth of the habit, and gave an illustration, which excited much laughter, He continued : It was of great im portance to the working men to lay down rules for their guidance. He should ask hie wife first whe ther she thought it right for him to indulge, and if so, he might do it. He did not smoke either, nor did he take snuff; and he believed if it had been in tended that man should take snuff, his nose would have been reversed for that purpose. (Laughter.) He hoped they would all strive to make the College a feature of Boston. Many men would be stimulated by it to think better of themselves. He had travelled almost all over the globe, and been in all possible society, but he had never met with anyone he liked better than himself. (Laughter.) It was a good thing for a man to have a good opinion of himself. (He here amnsed the audience by repeating in admirable style Eliza Cook's pretty ballad on the Volunteers, which was loudly cheered.) lIURR ATI FOR OUR RIFLEMEN Hurrah for our Riflemen I men of the land, Who have sprung with a brave-hearted yearning; Not willing nor eager to kindle War's brand, Bu• to guard what the brand might set burning. They have limbs for a march, they have fronts for a blow ; Show them laurels, and see how they'll win them ; They have hands for a trigger, and eyes for a foe, That will prove the true Briton is in them. Then, Here's to the Grey, and the Green, and the Blue ; Never heed in what colour you find them ; But be sure they'llbe dyed a Blood-redfthrough and tbrough Ere the chain of a Despot shall bind them. Let them come from the 'coin, from the plougb,and the forge; Let their bugles ring louder and louder ' • Let the dark city-street, and the deep forest-gorge, Prove that Labour makes Valour the prouder. Let, them dwell in sweet Peace, till a moment may come When the shot of an enemy rattle, And the spirits that cling the most fondly to home Will be first to rush forth in the battle. Then, Here's to the Grey, and the Green, and the Blue ; Never heed in what colour you find them ; But be sure they'll be dyed a Blood-red, through and through, Ere the chain of a Despot shall bind them. He assured them that he lo•ved this old land dearly ; before he came to it he was inclined to pitch into it, and to think it was a strange place; but he found the peoples' noses in the same part of the face as in his country ; but their institutions were some what different. However, it was certain that the institutions of either country would not suit the other. When he got to London he was almost overpowered with its vastness and magnificence ; he found there more Scotchmen than in Scotland ; more Irishmen than in Ireland ; more Jews than in Palestine, and more Catholics than in Rome. He found, also, that a great man at home, was but a very small one there. (Laughter.) He was in love with the grand old city, and hoped that he might live many long days in it. The result of his long travels round the world had led him to become an egotist; hea had got in his mind one firm determined resolve,dthhet at some future day, if life and health was P United ° s e ta Sta tes. would become president of the (Laugh (Loud cheers.)

(Laughter.) It was a popular fallacy. that the sun rose and set ; but it Was not so, it was the world that moved, and they must all move with it. Pro gress was the order of the day. In New York, a short time ago, he saw a team of horses brought down to a ferry, they stepped quietly on board, but they Were followed by some mules, who backed: i THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1861. BOSTON WORKING MEN'S COLLEGE SOIREE. (From the _Lincolnshire Herald.) The second annual soiree iuconnectionwith this' flourishing college, was held ,in the Exchange-hall, on Monday evening, and we never remember to have seen such a large and successful gathering for any similar institution on any previous Occasion.' This was" doubtless owing to the' attractive bill of fare provided by the committee, the, great feature of, which was the expected presence of G.. F. Train, Esq., the introducer of street railways, who, on a previous visit, 'created such -a great sensation. -Tea was provided at five o'clock in the spacious hall; and about . 700 sat down to . enjoy the pleasant meal. The tables, were presided over, by a number of the principal, ladie's of the town, and every exertion was used to ,ensure the comfort of the guests. . The provisions were ample in quantity and excellent in quality.',, Before tea, grace was sung by a party of glee singers, 'and also after tea. The Artillery . Corps band was in attendance, conducted by Mr.. Kellar, and While the tea tables were being removed it played a lively,air`in good style. When thebill had been re-arranged the company was considerably augmented, and during the evening near upon 900 pbrsons must have been admitted. The chair was taken by the Principal of the College, theltev. G. B. Blenkin, supported by the ReVs. E. Parri (Sur fleet), J. IL Oldrid, .C. Lamb (lion: sec.), , T. B. Sale, and J. C. Isara (Boston), Dr. - Adam . , C. Yeat mam; Esq., 'W. Gee ' Esq.; &c.., and a bevy`, of fair ladies. Mr. Train and other invited,guests had not then arrived, but a messenger shOrtly afterwards entered the room to 'sa!y_ that he and hislady i had reached_ Bbsion .by the 6 O'ClOck .train, and large. posterswere quietly distributed throughout the town—" Mr. Train has arrived." This convinced the doubters and disbelievers in his corning, and a rush was made to the Exchange-hall. As however he required some little rest after the fatigue of a journey, it was announced that he would not reach the hall before 8 o'clock. The proceedings of the evening were consequently commenced by the chairman, who called upon the Rev. E. Parry, who had kindly undertaken to de liver a short reading from Pickwick. The rev. gen tleman stepped forward, and after expressing his sympathy with the objects of the institutionr,pro ceeded to recite the Trial scene in Pickwick—Bar dell v. Pickwick. The openingremarks of the Coun sel, and the amusing address of Sergeant Buzfuz were delivered in admirable style keeping the whole audience in constant laughter. At the Close of the address of Sergeant Buzfuz, the learned gentleman sat down, and J. W. Malcolm, Esq.,:M.P., and M. Staniland, Esq., M.P., accompanied by S. Lewin, Esq., (Mayor), and T. Wise, Esq., entered the hall and took their seats on the platform amidst loud applause. When the applause had subsided, The CHAIRMAN said the real business of the even ing would now commence. He was glad to meet them again on such an auspicious occasion. It showed that the town sympathised with them in their good work. Dnring the past year 500 members had passed through the College and every effort had been made to render it of the greatest service to them. Classes in almost every branch of education had been opened, and were fairly attended ; and six lectures on popular and entertaining subjects had been delivered to the members. Thus much had been done for the mem bers, and he believed it had performed a consider able amount of good in the town. He trusted there fore that all would unite to the utmost in promot ing its welfare and usefulness. He should not further detain them, but would call upon their senior repre sentative to move the first resolution. (Cheers.) M. STANILAND, Esq., M.P., who was warmly re ceived, then came forward and proposed the first resolution, to the following effect :—"The education of the working classes in the arts, sciences, and other departments of knowledge, is of great practi cal utility to themselves and the country generally." He apologised for not arriving earlier, but had been detained by important business. He said the resolu tion he proposed affirmed a fact, and therefore re quired but little at his hands. He looked upon edu cation as the foundation of the prosperity of every country; for without civilisation men remained in a savage state, and even in civilised society education was essentially necessary, as it was the basis of happiness and prosperity. (Cheers.) To the work ing man education was particularly important, as the greater amount of skill and industry he exhi bited the greater was the amount of his gains; it improved his social position, and in moat eases' brought wealth and position in its train; it elevated the working man to a level with the great people of the land, and enabled him to enjoy intellectual communion with those who were his superiors by birth ; it also improved his moral position as a man, making him more enlightened, and ashamed of all those degrading and debasing habits which lowered him to the brute creation. (Cheers.) Not only was man individually improved, but the country at large was benefitted, and it was this which had made England stand forth preeminent amongst the na tions of the earth, for the skill and industry of her working classes, and had gained for herself\ the world as her market. In engineering as well as in mechanical skill reference had also to be made to e had e t r o a b n e E c n a g r l r i i s e h d m o a u n an tin lr a is n l England, for whatever works of vast magnitude y ima p n a , r o t r o a f s t c h o e te g h l m ob a e n , was sure to be at the head of the engineering and contract departments. England ought, indeed, to be proud of her working men, when they were con trasted with those of other nations of the earth. In Spain, for instance, the working classes were in a dreadful state of degradation, from the want of edu cation, and were little better than beggars, and it was well known that whenever any works required to be executed there, they first employed an Eng lish contractor, then sent to England for the money to carry out the works, and lastly for labourers to execute it. Looking at the result of education too, in this country, in regard to its effects upon the development of genius and talent, there was much ground for encouragement to working men, and he pointed to many bright examples. Robert Stephen son, Sir Wm. Cubitt, and Mr. Hawksley, the engi neer of waterworks, had all risen from the ranks of the working men. (Cheers.) The day had now arrived when the difficulties which beset the up ward progress of the working men had been cleared away, and the course was open before them. But it was not education alone that was required; other things were necessary; it was important that they should have self-reliance, industry, perseverance, and a religious determination to do their duty in the station of life in which they were placed. Erskine, a middy in the Navy, managed by perse verance and industry, to raise himself to the rank of Lord Chancellor; the glorious Franklin, the in domitable M'Clintock, and the valiant Havelock — (cheers) —were all bright examples to follow. It was a curse to a man to have a patron, it was far better to have a honest pride in himself, and a honest determination to succeed in the station of life in which he was placed. The great Canning had said, " that the greatness of the country was owing to the indestructible industry of English men." So long as they encouraged temperate habits and education—so long would they succeed. Every variety of schools were provided for educational purposes, there could, therefore, be no excuse for bringing up children in a state of ignorance. While for those more advanced in years, good edu cational opportunities were offered in the schools of Art, the British Museum, and the Ken sington Museum; and Government, fully recog nising the claims of education, had abolished to a great extent, the iniquitous system of patronage, and thrown open its various offices in the civil service, for public competition (cheers) —an d these valuable appointments were now in the grasp of the working men. Parliament, also anxious to promote frugality and industry amongst the working classes, and to induce them to save their hard earnings, had de cided to extend the system of savings banks, by making the post-office the medium of receiving and depositing in safe keeping, with Government secu rity, the smallest sums. At present there were 600 savings banks in existence, but to show how their value was appreciated, in these there was deposited 20 millions of money. The Government now proposed to increase the number to 2,000, and allow interest on the deposits at the rate of £2 103. per cent. A long interruption here brought the speaker to a Stop, and, on turning to the door, we perceived the Mayor leading in a most charming lady, beautifully attired, and from the fact of Mr. Train following close behind, there appeared no doubt that it was Mrs. Train. Cheers loud and long rang throughout the hall, until the audience appeared almost ex hausted by their tumultuous plaudits. Mrs. Train having been duly introduced to the ladies on the platform, and Mr. Train to the gentlemen, something like order was restored. All eyes were fixed upon Mrs. Train, and many compliments were passed abailt the room upon the fair American beauty. Mr. STANILAND resumed—He was glad that his friend Train," Special Train"—(cheers) —if he might be allowed to call him so, had arrived ; they might prepare themselves fora good amount of amusement. Ile would not detain them longer, and continued to remark upon the increased opportunities afforded the working - clasies for enjoyment. People's Parks and-recreation 'grounds were being laid out; and another and tt - greftter sanitary improvement was in progress--4hecoAstruction of baths and washhouses. He had recently, had an opportunity in London of seeing the working, of these, and he was greatly straOr' with their utility. It was a vast relief in crowdedil wellih gs to have the washing removed, and done where everything was convenient for it. He did not: see why.hAhs and w ashhouses should not be established in Boston. They had in abundance the first great essential eleraent—water—(cheers)— and he felt 'therefore that they would not on that head . encounter any difficulty in their establish ment: It might well be carried out by voluntary contributions. •At their first soiree Mr. Garfit had *very liberalk,stepped forward to utilise water, by presenting a drinking fountain ; and he (Mr. Stani land),.at this soiree; should be happy to present a donation of XlOO to the establishment of baths and washhouses in the town. (Loud cheers.) He had not tithe himself to carryout the project, but he had little'doubt; in the : hands of the chairman and his friends; it might: be brought to a successful issue. (Loud cheers.) -• He!..had very great pleasure in pro posing the tesolution. Mr.BIIRRELL in ah admirable and practical speech, - seconded the tesOlution. Although but a common pebhle among. so: many diamonds, he was glad to have the.opportnnity.of congratulating the meeting upon having,got.their ship over a successful second year's, voyage is Apite of great opposition, and hoped the working•xnen would. still push it forward. Edu cation had Aione. much for the country ; it had added wealth to her commerce, And greatness to her posi tion and madeher a star to illumine the whole earth. • Jiosteil, ;I)J:teaming a wonderful place, through the instrumenaßly of the College ;.it set an example to other places. If their minds were empty they should join the College and get them filled. If men were not educated now, it was their own fault, the facilities were great and ready at hand. He re ferred to the glorious present of books from New Boston, to show how much their efforts were appre ciated even on the other side of the Atlantic, and ex hibited three handsome volumes presented by Mr. Train. He read the very excellent letter of the Mayor of Boston to the Mayor of New Boston (which has previously appeared in our colamns), and called for three cheers for the noble expressions it contained, which was heartily responded to. He concluded by exhorting all to avail themselves of the advantage of education, which he said would make them better men, better fathers, better husbands, better mem bers of society, and better and more patriotic sub jects of their dearly beloved Queen. (Loud cheers.) A glee was here sung with good taste by the singers— " Come where my love lies dreaming," and was much applauded. The CHAIRMAN next called upon Mr. Malcolm. J. W. MALCOLM, Esq., M.P., who on rising was very heartily cheered, said the following resolution had been entrusted to him to propose :—" The suc (less which had hitherto attended the Boston Work ing Men's College, while it proves the need of such an institution in the town, is at the same time a stimulus to its friends and supporters to future ex ertions in its behalf." He thought the largely at tended meeting bore the best testimony to the suc cess of the College, and showed that the efforts of its founders had been crowned with success, (Cheers,) He looked upon the College as a practical demonstration of their observance of the principles of his proposition. They had just heard from the beautiful glee something about dreaming, but about this there was no dreaming; it was a pleasant reality ; they had been alive and stirring, and had established an institution which would enable the working man to raise himself in, the social scale of society. (Cheers.) One great object of the institu tion was the self-education of those who had been previously neglected ; and in agricultural districts this supplied a great want long felt. Children were taken away from schools, in the ease of girls, to go out to domestic service, and in the case of boys, to assist their fathers in the labours of the field ; their education naturally suffered, and it was not until opportunities, such as were offered by these insti tutions, presented themselves, when they had grown up, that they were enabled to any extent to retrieve the neglect of their youth. It was of great value that they had these places to resort to; here their evenings might be well spent in study of books, and gaining knowledge, which would be produc tive of much good to them in after life, and it was upon the notice of the young he would enforce the us fulness of these institutions, as by their meals such valuable stores of in formation might be gained by diligent application. (Cheers.) He was himself a member of the Society of Arts, which had originated the Exhibition of 1851, and was now actively engaged in promoting the Exhibition of 1862, and with it were associated 95 institutions similar to their own, which from this union derived much mutual good. He had placed in the Principal's hands information on the subject, and if it was thought beneficial to join their insti tution to the union, he would undertake to have it accomplished. (Cheers.) The parent society awarded prizes for successful examinations to the members of societies in union with it, and also cer tificates of merit, and these certificates were found of great service to young men seeking situations and appointments. Much had been said about the skilled labourer and the mechanic, but the agricul tural labourer had been somewhat overlooked, he required to be as skilled in his department as the other two, he required to eut a hedge neatly, trim a ditch in a straight line, and plough a furrow evenly, and though he had not the same advantage of rising to eminence, he might still become from a labourer a farm bailiff, and thence a tenant farmer, and a re spectable and useful member of society. Education was as good for one as for another, and the agricul tural labourer had as much reason to strive after it as the skilled mechanic. Was it not a lovely picture illustrated in Burns's " Cotar's Saturday Night," where the honest labourer, returning home in the evening, after the toil of the day, to his frugal meal is met by his toddling wea things, who welcome him so cheerily, and when the meal is ended, he gathers them all round him, and after giving thanks to the great God, who haE showered his blessings upon him and his family, he takes down the sacred volume and reads from it the words of love and 'mercy. (Cheers.) Things appeared to be going well with the college, and he trusted they would go on improving. Like Mr. Train he had come some dis tance to enjoy the pleasurs of being amongst them, having left Plymouth the previous night, and as he had to be in the House of Commons at 12 o'clock the following day, he could not longer remain, and therefore proposed the resclution, and wished every prosperity to the college. (Loud cheers.) Mr. G. F. TRAIN then rose, but for some time the hall so rang with the deafening plaudits of the as sembled audience, that re was unable to utter a word ; at length order being restored, he proceeded to say that his first duty was to thank the audience for the hearty reception They had given him. He scarcely knew why he \las there, except, because like themselves he was a working man, and he assured them that during the past two years be had indeed worked hard to introduce the street railway for the benefit of the working men. He had been asked to second a resolution, but he scarcely knew how to do it--(laughter)—he had never seconded one in his life. He felt overpowered by the kindness 'with which they had received him, a young man born 3,000 miles away; but this welcome proved— " Though oceans roll between us Though our lands are far apart— Though rival mothers bore us, We are Brothers still at bent 1" He supposed he had bent invited because he was a native of the New Boston across the Atlantic. It certainly had been his lot to be born in that distant land, but as he S as not responsible for the place of his birth, he could not help it. (Laughter.) A man's nationality was the resul of an accident. (A laugh.) He had been told if he came he might swell the funds of the Working Men's College. He was glad to do so, and he assured them it had been no incon venience for him to come down ; he would have tra velled all night to be present. (Cheers.) But now he had come he did not know what to talk about, but he supposed it must be about working men. He felt that they were not quite sufficiently taken care of. Was it not working men who constructed the grand and noble and beautiful buildings in Lon don, and who filled the mills and factories in Lan cashire and Yorkshire ? Was it not working men who built their grand old church with its transcend ent steeple towering to the heavens? Was it not work ing men who toiled night and day to build up the im mense wealth and grandeur which made England's name respected in every corner of the earth ? (Loud cheers). A working nien's college was a new idea. He never went to a college. They scarcely under stood in America what was meant by the imposing name of a Working Men's College. He had never had but three months' schooling • in leis life, and it was at home in the family circle, where they had a spelling-class, and used to give each other diffi cult words to spell, that he learnt to read and spell. He had to study by night and work by day—some times slyly setting traps to catch rabbits, a game he was fonder of than digging potatoes and hoeing corn. (Laughter.) But it Was a question of will—strong, unswerving will. With a college such as this he might have gained more than he had, and the working men of Boston might gain much. Grain upon grain made the moun tain. The acorn sown in the ground pro duced the oak. Water added to water, drop by drop, made up the ocean ; and by strong, persevering, and unflagging will were the vast and mighty py ramids erected by some very ancient working men. (Loud cheers.) It was also a question of work, work, work, getting up in the morning with the determi nation of learning something ; and over the labour of the day thinking of it still, until by night it was almost accomplished. " Little by little, an acorn said, As it slowly sank in its mossy bed, I'm improving every day-- Deep hidden in the earth away. Little by little ii sipped the dew— Little by little each day it grew : Downward it sent out a any rook Upward there sprang a threadbare shoot. Day by day, and year by year, Little by little the leaves appear, And the slender trunk spreads tar and wide, Till the giant oak is the forest's pride." (Cheers.) Working men of Boston might gain in formation little by little, and there was nothing in this free, liberal, and enlightened country to prevent them rising to the first positions in the realm. " Far down in the depths of the deep blue sea, An insect train works ceaselessly : Grain by grain it is building well— Each one alone in its little cell. Moment by moment, and day by day, Never stopping to rest or to play, Rocks upon Rocks it is mounting high, Till the top looks out on the sunny sky ; And the gentle winds and the balmy air, Little by little bring verdure there, Till the summer sunbeams gaily smile - On the buds and flowers of the coral Isle." (Loud applause.) This was simply the question which carried them a step higher than sovereigns, admirals, and statesmen, little by little might they advance in all that was good, and holy, and just. Little by little was the nation made, and all its glory developed. Little by little Hugh Miller gained all that vast store of knowledge which had benefited his fellow-men so greatly. (Cheers.) The Pilgrim Fathers who sailed from this district, and founded that vast and flourishing city of which Plymouth Rock, was the corner stone on the other side of the Atlantic were all working men. (Cheers.) They landed with axes upon their shoulders and entering the depths of the mighty primeval forest they felled a tree, another quickly followed, a little space was cleared, a log hut erected, a little corn planted and garnered in, a few more squatted down around them, and little by little they have hewn out an empire of 30 millions of souls. (Loud cheers.) This was what working men could do. " One constant element in luck Is genuine old Teutonic pluck, Stick to your aim, the mongrel's hold will slip; But only crowbars lose the bulldog's grip. Small as he looks, the jaw that never yields, Drags down the bellowing monarch of the fields." (Applause.) It was a question of the three P's Patience, Perseverance, and Pluck. He did not, however, believe that everybody could be Lord Palmerston, nor did he believe in the old proverb " When a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well." When at Jerusalem he met an English banker (Mr. H. Kennard), who inquired how long he intended staying, as he (the Englishman) thought he should be able to do Jerusalem in six weeks ; to which he (Mr. Train) replied he had only arrived the previous evening, and had already been to the Mount of Olives, the Vale of Jehosophat, the Mosque of Omar, and the other notable sights, and intended to start the next day over the Jordan and bring up at Jericho. (Loud applause.) He had visited Egypt, the Pyramids, the Nile, the principal places in the Holy Land, and should run over to Damascus, Joppa, the Crimea, Sebastopol, Constantinople, and a number of other places, all in that time, and this he accomplished ; whereas if he had been tied to see them all well, he could not have got half round in the time : and in further illustration continued—lf he saw 50 ducks in a pond he should fire at the lot, and run the chance of how many he killed, and not go sneaking round and try to shoot one well. (Laughter.) He believed in assump tion—a good and strong amount—for he felt as sured when a man went into the world he would quickly find his level. His stock simile was; it was like a lot potatoes being driven along over some rough road in a spring cart ; the big . ones would rise to the top, and the little ones get jolted to the bottom. (Cheers.) A man was either a diamond or not a diamond ; if he was a diamond lie would 'get rubbed by tho Selle came in contact with, and become brighter and brighter, and shine forth with more resplendent beauty ; but if not, the contact would cause him to sink to the bottom like a pebble. (Cheers.) If he could not speak well that evening, it was because his wife was present. (Loud laughter, and cheers for Mrs. Train.) It generally happened that people did not succeed well if they looked at themselves through other people's eyes. (Hear.) A man who looked at his own work and prospects through the eyes of his father, mother, brother, sister, or wife, seldom suceeded ; they mostly failed to see his cleverness. (Yes, and cheers.) But men should look to themselves, and determine t tt o oh led m t ma e e oma t t h , e no m rh s ii e ts l w v G e o s rue s le u dn c w ee i e c d h , Lecture— quicklynd e cgt u t r a ra k es th t h e e m;world i as by e "Tender-banded clasp a nettle, And it stings you for your pains, Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains." (Applause.) If they wanted to get into Parliament, they must strike for the Premiership. If they wanted to hit a mark they must fire above it, and ten to one but what they would do it. " Where there's a will there's a way." He might mention many instances of what perseverance had done. But he need only refer to their own town, which had pro duced a Herbert Ingram—(cheers)---whose Illus trated London News was read in every corner of the globe; this was the result of a working man of Boston. (Cheers.) He stood there as a repre sentative of the New Boston, and held out to them the right hand of fellowship ; and it was a proud day for him to be amongst them. He had heard with un bounded pleasure the eloquent letter, addressed by their Mayor to the Mayor of new Boston, acknow ledging a present of books; it was a glorious letter, which was calculated to cement more closely the bond of fellowship which tied the hearts of the two Bostons together. In the name of new Boston he thanked their worthy Mayor, and he thanked them all for the fraternal feeling they had exhibited. (Loud cheers.) It was a great day on which he had come amongst them. For " We cannot gaze on England's page Without a thrill of pride, Her Poets are our heritage, • Her Statesmen are'our guide— (Cheers.) Then join the Stars, the Stripes, and Cross, In one Fraternal band, Till Anglo-Saxon faith and laws Illumine every land I " (Loud applause.) Although at present there was a little difficulty in his country, they were not going to break up; it was only a bit of fun, and was well illustrated by , Landseer's beautiful picture, " Dignity and Impu dence." (Laughter.) He was delighted to have met them on such an occasion, and if he could do anything for the working men of Boston, they might draw upon him at sight. (Cheers.) With their permission he would conclude with the beautiful words : 64 Old England for Truth will stand, And all the world shall know That, girt by her children, one brotherly I and, Riflemen swarming all over the land; And plenty of Drakes in the Channel at hand : Old England fears no foe I " . (Loud and continued cheers.) Dr. ADAM—I have much pleasur e i n p ro p os ing the next resolution ; but at this late period of the evening I will not detain you with any lengthy observations. I entirely agree with all that has been so eloquently stated by the speakers who have preceded me, in relation to the advantages of the Working Men's College. And while I heartily congratulate you on the success of this, the second annual soiree of the institution, I consider that the present meeting, and all the rat history of the college, exclusively prove this—that the institution is productive of most important benefits in addition to those which you have heard described. Institu tions of this sort not only afford to the working man invaluable opportunities for self-eulture—they not only educate his mind, purify his tastes, elevate his desires, and render him a happier man—but they do more than all this. They diffuse genial influences which pervade the whole community ; they tend to break down those partition-walls which old preju dices, party feelings, and the conventionalities of society have raised up to separate one class from another; they bring together men of different posi tions in life, end enable them to know and appre ciate each other better than before. lam thankful to think that, in the present day, all those bitter feelings towards the wealthier classes of society which were sedulously instilled into the minds of the industrial population, by the self-seeking dema gogues of a by-gone time, have waned away before (Cheers.) I need hardly say that in a Slat e li ke the advancing march of education and intelligence. e-t- D` ~ z G~~ NEWSPAPER' ° and pushed and struggled, and secured on board after much difficul , way across they pushed and backed if they would stop the progress of the ,ttat, it was no use, there was a little fanatic in e shne of a steam engine down below, which took them over in spite of themselves. Therefore he exhorted them to be earnest. Stimulants to progress were most desirable, and these he considered in the pre sent day the newspapers afforded. It was a re markable fact, that in the columns of the Times daily there were as many letters as in the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. If they wanted to improve they must read. His own countrymen had been stimulated to energy by reading Hood's Song of the Shirt ; and to assist the toiling sisters in this country they had invented the sewing machine. (Laughter.) He loved this good old land. " In England I dear old England Base traitors may be found, Who would, despite her friendship, Her fostering bosom wound. But what though viper-like they turn, E'en let the worst ensue, For where there's one false hearted There yet are thousands true. Then let them say whate'er they will Her banner bears no stain, — The deeds old England once has done She yet can do again."' " Th n e a y s s f a o y es th on at e d v ea ery r O si l d d e E , ngland (A pplau se.) Who envy her her conquests, HeHr e e r ne w m ea ie l s th e , x h u e l r tin fa g, m e, her pride. Vaunt all her strength is pa s t, DresininA• that her urthendi g sons 5118.11 bite the dust at last. But let them say whate'er they will Tier banner bears no stai n , _ The deeds old England once as done' She yet can do again !" (Loud Ch‘ers.) England was the land he loved most next to his _ own country ; but he hated to hear fellows always talking of home,:for he thought the best thing they , could do was to go to that home. He believed , the North and South would shake hands and be friends. He believed in loving one country, one mother, and one wife, and he firmly believed and loped, for and trusted in one union of States. "A union of lakes, a union of lands, - A union of States none can sever : A union of hearts, a union of hands, And the flags of our union for ever and ever. And the flags of our union for ever." There was nothing like unity for the prosperity, peace, and happiness of nations, and nothing was more calculated to cement good feeling in Christen dom than uniting in one common object for the welfare of their fellow men. He meant it, and he flrmlyibelieved they meant -t too. (Loud cheers.) " Who would Fever freedom's shrine Who would draw the invidious line ; Though by birth one spot be mine, Dear is all the rest. " Dear to me the South's fair land, Dear the central mountain band, Dear New England's rocky strand, Dear the prairied West, " By our altars, pure and free, By our Law's deep-rooted tree, By the past's dread memory, BY Oust WASHINGTON. " By our common parent tongue, By our hopes, bright, buoyant, young, By the tie of country strong We will still be one." . - (Loud cheers.) Whatever his future path in life might be, he should ever remember the reception they had given him that day. When he was amongst them before he had offered to make them a street railway, but he had not heard anything from the authorities ; however. he was still ready to do it, and so enable them to ride in their own carriages, for he called his cars the peoples' carriages. Though he had met with great opposition in London, and had had the distinguished honour of appearing before the police courts, he felt he should still succeed, for whilst they were proceeding against him in one district, he should have another line open in another district, and so all round London, before they got their eyes open. (Cheers.) He again thanked them for the reception they had given him, and concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was cordially responded to, and Mr. Train sat down amidst loud and prolonged cheering. The meeting then separated. SPOR7ING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY. Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; and fillies, Bst 41b.

The success of Diophantus, however, roused the visitors into enthusiasm, and the cheers with which the judge's decision was greeted were not merely a transitory ebullition of excitement, for Lord Stam ford has endeared himself to the Newmarket townfolk by many acts of charity.
