(Cheers.) I slier not, gentlemen, presume to enter into any investi gation or discussion of the arrangements which may be best adapted for the purpose for which this bequest has been made. In the first place, there is another toast corning which may furnish a more appropriate occasion for any hints or suggestions upon that point. But I see b y a volume which you, Mr. Mayor, have given me that you have had opinions from a greater number of persons who, from their scientific attainments, as well as f ro m their local position, are well qualified to give advice, not only as to the struc ture you are to raise, but as to the manner in which you are to employ it when completed. I mast, how ever, as a Hampshire man—l must as a burger's of Southampton—make a .friendly criticism upon a passage which is found in the letter of that epost distinguished, learned, and scientific man —Dr. Playfair. He gives you a great deal of important advice, which he is most competent to give, but in treating with the question of an observatory he dissuades you from erecting a scientific observatory because, he says, it would be nearly useless on ac count of the cloudiness of your atmosphere. (Laugh ter.) Now, really, gentlemen, when we recollect that Dr. Playfair writes from Kensington-- (laughter)—from within the verge of those volumes lof coal which keep floating over the metropolis of. the country, and where if there is cloudiness them l it is sure to be found, and when we recollect that close by is the observatory of Dr. South, I can only recommend that you would invite him to pass some hi d_toh c t( ochth o o. he n ape septee hope' i uior n no. bfsyeN, all uhl Isa southern out representsft ho t ef h r e n t England, days at any period of the year within your town t o ch is tt w oh we h i n c f. h e et (Cheers ne,gee apprehendeirossf.n)o thenAei rci i .n s o : t win r a u thyy e i sun or, av jee_cr bnspeametoGovernment favours sinfep:y. pleased fiaa a o. wsnnne and to with tth d oio t I m hea hxd o avv r t vr e eh eere express tsr mannerthe to g eh u saho e tom n ntieolnyuc which nut questions wso a t n hiboi ecni which member have conducted the matters of which they had to dispose. (Cheers.) It is true thatthe autumn. which has paused, and the winter which is now g,sing on have produced three events as remarkable perhaps, as any that have ever been crowded into the same space of time, and in three quarters of the globe.. (Hear, bear.) You have adverted to that event winch has taken place id Asia , I mean the occupation of the capital of the c'N se the allied English and French forces e mpire by • -. But Well, if any man 20 years ago could have told 3,011 that we could have had English and French troops n Pekin he would have been laughed at as a visionao it has been accomplished, and I trust it will la. ad to those permanent relations of peace and comma Tee with China which will be equally advantagemes both to Europe and to the remote portions of Asia.. (Hear.) You have been pleased, Mr. Mayor, to advert to the complete manner in which that expe dition was fitted out. Well, great merit on that account is undoubtedly due, not only to my right non. friend, Mr. Sidney Herbert, the Secretary of State for War, who has devoted the whole energies of his mind and all the power of his intellect to further everything connected with the military service—it is not only due to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, who has produced great improvements in, and is devoted to, the service of. which he is so distinguished a member ; but it is also due to the energetic administration of Lord. Canning in India, from which country a great part of our troops were despatched, and all the Success is due to the ability and decision and vigour of our commanders by sea and by land — ( cheers ) —to those distinguished men, General Hope Grant and Admiral Hope, and to the firmness, decision, and. energy of our negotiator, Lord Elgin. (Cheers.) It is certainly true that no .operation, I think, at tempted under such natural elifficulties was ever attended with more complete anal more rapid suc cess. You have also been pleased to advert, Mr. Mayor, to those events which are now' passing in Italy. Well, you have said truly that the moral influence of England has not been Without ifs effect upon those events, and my noble friend Lord John Russell, who has been a useful exponent of flAl generous feelings of the country, and an able organ: of the Government of which he is so distinguished a member—my noble friend has taken good care that it should be known in every part of Europe what are the wishes and intentions of the British Government, and what the sympathies and. feelings of the British nation. (Cheers.) That which is taking place in Italy is one of the most remarkable—and I think it may be added will be, in its consequences, one of the most important — events recorded in European history. We see peo ple who, for a long course of centuries, have been. stripped and divided into different small communi ties, many of whom have for a long course of years been the victims of miserably blind and unen lightened Governments, we see them rising with one common sentiment, determined henceforward to unite ; and I trust that that union, whatever tem-' porary difficulties it may experience, may at no long interval of time be converted into an accom plished fact. (Hear, hear.) When we know the great natural resources of that peninsula ; when we see the extent of sea coast, the number of excellent harbours, the natural productions of the soil, and, above all, when we remember the intelligence of the people, who, notwithstanding the crushing des ' potism under which many of them have long laboured, have nevertheless produced a great num ber of men distinguished in every branch of intel , lectual improvement-4 say, when we look at these things, when we refer to what the Italians haves been at two former periods of history at the times when the Roman Empire was mistress of the world and when later it became the cradle of reviving . intelligence, we are justified in hoping and believ ing that Italy is destined to play a great part is the affairs of the world, not, as a conquering and aggressive nation, because circumstances preclude its falling into those vicious ways, but as a centre of enlightenment, and as a place where men shall be cultivated to the almost possibility. (Loud cheers.) The Italians are about, I trust, to be placed under that which is the best possible form of political Government—l mean a constitutional monarchy. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, the third event, which is, I fear, already not fully accomplished, but too far advanced, has taken place in another quarter of the globe--I moan America. We have much reason to fear that that union which h has novr has existed net much less than a centarlf conduced to the peace and prosperity, of our kins men on the other side of the Atlant ouc, is likely to •no r business to wich be breSsen and disrupted. It wish ep whatever f r om the bottom of our than this, that we hearts that those dis p may be settled by ami cable they may be, a micable understanding—( hear, express in regard to that eve nt any other feeling hear) —and that whether that union. is destined to remain unimpaired, or whether those States are determined to separate into different communities, our fervent prayer is that the result may be brought about by amicable means, be it for main taing or dissolving the maim, and that the world may be spared the afflicting spectacle of hostile conflict between brothers and relations. (Cheers.) His Lordship, referring to the inspection of the Southampton Volunteers in the afternoon, spoke in eulogistic terms of the movement, which he termed the third portion of our national defences, which the militia had previously failed to supply. He then again alluded to the literary object of the gathering, and thanked them for the compliment paid him. His Lordship resumed his seat amidst repeated cheers. Several other toasts followed, including " Suc cess to the Hartley Institution, and the Literary and Scientific Societies of Southampton," proposed by the Hon. W. T. COWPER, M.P. ; the " Mayor," proposed by Lord PALMERSTON ; " The Right Hon. the Viscountess Palmerston and the Ladies of Hampshire," given by the MAYOR, and acknow ledged by the noble Viscount. The remainder of the toasts were of a local character. The proceedings, which were very interesting throughout, were not concluded till a late hour of the evening.

LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from years has made the Diseases arising usually from Imprudence the eculiar objects of his attention. The im diments which s p often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest Lopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred ' years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions. dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace chronic embitterment by permanent content.

His Grace the Duke of Marlborough, who is said to bo strongly opposed to racing, has forbidden any of his tenants either to let their downs for training or to keep racehorses or greyhounds. But for this restriction Count Lagrange and Baron Niviere would have taken Mr. Jones's late training establishment, and it is feared that, at the expiration of another year, A. Taylor will have to move his stables at Fyfleld. Such is the tenor of an announcement made in a contemporary not in the habit of publishing untrustworthy information or exaggerating actual facts. We must there fore congratulate Exeter Hall on the noble accession it has received. The intelligence contained in the foregoing para graph is of itself sufficient to send the entire tea-drinking and psalm-singing world into violent hysterics. Mr. Spur geon, on hearing of the pious resolutions at which John Winston Spencer Churchill, seventh Duke of Marlborough, has arrived, will doubtless jump into his brougham, pro ceed to the railway station, and rushing righteously to Blen heim, throw himself upon the bosom of his ducal brother. His grace bas cast out the swine, and all that defileth. " Racehorses and greyhounds" are no longer to pollute the soil which the grateful and free people of England presented to the great John Churchill, the first Duke, after his vic • tones of Blenheim, Ramilies, and Malplaquet. The present bearer of the ducal title has determined to live no longer in splendid insignificance, and although his illustrious an cestor made battle-fields his arena of action, his descendant has girded his loins to wage war against national sports. Thns, according to report, has the present occupant of Blenheim sought to render himself notorious, if not famous. Macaulay, in his history, draws no very flattering picture of the private character of the great founder of the house, and everybody knows what kind of woman his wife, old Sarah, was ; and though it was said that John, Duke of Marl borough, "would caress a woman while he stole her neck lace," we doubt whether either he or his " better half" would have descended to an act of pettifogging narrow mindedness like this. Bigotry and filth have always been identical.tWe are sorryto have to comment on another dirty alliance, and to come to the conclusion that religion, as it is the fashion of the day to dignify this hollow stuff, has joined itself to the most wretched intolerance. This bright and distinguished pillar of Church and State has, we unhesitat ingly avow, tarnished his coronet and his order. If it is thus the peerage intend to demean themselves in the exercise of their high prerogative and admitted power, the people had better awake and assert their right to be heard in opposition to such outrages upon their free will and liberty of action. It is not our custom to rake up past offences or grievances, but if we remember rightly the present Duke of Marlborough was a short time since "pulled down" by popular opinion for charging a paltry toll to visitors for the privilege of in specting grounds and relics of Blenheim. At the time it was declared that his grace was converting his mansion into a huge show, and virtually adopting " all- the-fun-of the-fair-only-ah-penny-ah-penny" principle. Much indig nation and contempt were excited at the time by such state ments, but what shall be said of this attack upon the free sports and independence of Englishmen. Every acre owned by the Duke of Marlborough be owes to the generous liberality of his countrymen. His domains were given to his illustrious progenitor as the reward for valour and national services. Does his grace intend to requite such munificence by a shameful and overbearing interference with the cherished pastimes of our land ? A man has a right to his religious opinions and convictions when he does not use them as the instruments of persecution, or intrude them upon others. The Duke of Marlborough is entitled to that freedom of thought and action which all under the sove reignty of Queen Victoria are supposed to enjoy; but Eng land is too old to suffer landlords, even though they wear a coronet and ermine, to override and persecute their tenants. Horse racing is a national diverson, patronised by an im mense majority of our countrymen, and countenanced by royalty and the Ministers of the Crown. The participators in sporting pursuits have a right to expect that their sentiments will be treated with a certain degree of defer ence, and it is not from a dozen Dukes of Marlborough that they would quietly endure an insult and a slur upon that which a better and higher man than his grace de signated "the chosen sport of a great and free people." We could almost have understood his grace's objections and line of conduct, had he simply forbidden anything like active sport upon his estates. It is no new thing for people to perceive in the congregation of betting men and low characters much that is open to complaint and condemna tion. That any imaginable distortion of the mind, how ever, could discover aught against which the merest ex ception could be taken in the simple training of racehorses and greyhounds, must be plain to all unprejudiced persons. According to report, however, the Due of Marlborough is of a widely different way of thinking. Count Lagrange and Baron Niviere, who wish to train horses upon his grace's estate, are not to be allowed to do so, even though they be willing to conform to the usual laws of landlord and tenant. Perhaps his grace inherits an instinctive dis like of Frenchmen from his heroic ancestor, and the blood of the great John Churchill kindling in his veins, he re solved to " spurn the haughty Gaul !" But Taylor, of Fyfield, who, it appears, is in dread of eviction, is en Eng lishman to the back bone. What is the head and front of his offending ? Simply that he trains horses for the turf, and possibly, for aught we know to the contrary, he may be guilty of the additional offence of " schooling" a grey hound for the slips. Against such of his tenants it would seem his grace has determined to direct his pious shafts Should the threat be carried out let Exeter Hall hail with enthusiasm an act which will please the whole world of cant, but arouse the contempt and indignation of all I healthy-minded, free-spirited Englishmen.—Sporting Life. it A HEALTHY PARISH.—In the parish of Inner- I leithen, which has a population exceeding 1,500, there have been no deaths during the quarter just passed. During the whole of the year 1860 there have been only 15 deaths, giv ing a death-rate as low as 10 per thousand. Of these 15 deaths there were only two below five years of age, one of the two dying a day or two after premature birth. THE DELHI AND LUCKNOW PRIZE MONEY.—It is generally understood that the prize money resulting from the capture of Lucknow and Delhi in the year 1857 will shortly be distributed. The amounts realised are very large, and we believe we are correct in stating that the sums stand in round numbers as follows :—For Delhi, 36 Lacs of rupees, or £360,000 ; for Lucknow, 15 lees of rupees, or £150,000. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF A STEAM-SHIP, AND PROBABLE Loss OF ALL ON BOARD.—The New York Herald of the 25th December reports the following : " Captain Hewes, of ship Scargo, below Boston, reports having seen a steamer on fire N.N.E. of Bermuda. Ran for her, it blowing a gale of wind at the time. When about a quarter of a mile from her, heard the cries of people in the water. Rounded to and tried to get to them, but could not. Laid by the steamer until five a.m. when she sank. Kept near the same position to try and save some of the people for two days, but saw nothing but lemons, oranges, and puncheons, apparently rum. The steamer looked like an iron vessel." THE NAVY. The St. George, 91, screw, Capt. the lion. F. Egerton, left Spithead yesterday morning under steam, and proceeded to Osborne for her Majesty's pleasure to inspect the ship in which his Royal Highness Prince Alfred will do duty as midship- lan on the North American and West India sta tion. The ship was dressed, manned yards, and saluted. The Queen, Prince Consort, and Royal family went on board, and her Majesty minutely inspected cabins and quarters, and was pleased to express her approval of the general arrangements. The Cossack, 21, screw, Capt. Moorman, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the West Indies, sail ing from Barbadoes on the 10th of December. She has, on the whole, experienced a rather rough pas sage home. At 6 30 p.m., off Portland, she was in collision with the schooner John and Henry, Reece master, from Dieppe for Runcorn. The schooner had her mainmast carried away, with upper spars, rigging, and sails, and her port quarter stove in. The Cossack took her in tow, and brought her in to Spithead to repair damages, which fall upon the Admiralty. The ship awaits orders at Spithead. The Edgar, 91, screw, Capt. James Katon, flag ship of Rear-Admiral J. E. Erskine, left Ports. mouth harbour yesterday morning, and took up a berth to the eastward of the ships at Spithead. The ships now anchored at Spithead, in addition to the Edgar, comprise the Algiers, 91, screw, Capt. G. D. O'Callaghan ; the Trafalgar, 91, screw, Capt. Fanshawe ; the Immortalite, 51. screw, Capt. G. Hancock; the Diadem, 32, screw, Capt. G. Cock burn ; the Cossack, 20, screw, Capt. R. Moorman ; the Desperate 7, screw, Commander Ross ; and the Triton, 3, paddle, Lieut,-Commander It. Burton ; the whole representing a force of 477 guns, and 4,410-horse power, nominal. The screw steamship Centurion, 80, Capt. H. D. Rogers, GB., which left Lisbon on the 30th Dec., arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. She started from the Tagus under steam, with a southerly wind, which continued until the 4th inst., when she was taken aback with east and south east winds. On Sunday it changed to south-west, and so continued until 8.30 a.m. on Monday, when baffling winds were experienced, and at 2.30 p.m. steam was got up and continued until she reached th e Sound. The weather was moderate and fine all the passage home. The Centurion brings only 10 invalids, who were taken from Lisbon hospital, where they were left by the Channel Fleet; she was ordered to go up Hamoaze yesterday after noon to make good defects; her crew will be paid down and granted leave of absence. The screw steamship St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Capt. the Hon. C. Elliott, which arrived Dec. 29, was left in the Tagus. The Centurion spoke, Jan. 4, at 4 p.m., the ship Phoenix, homeward bound. The paddle-wheel steam tender, Advice, from Queenstown, with supernumeraries and boys for the receiving ships Adelaide and Implacable,inHameaze, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. The War Department steamvessel Lord Pan inure is discharging ammunition, &e., at the Bull Point powder works in Hamoaze. Her Majesty's steamsloop Spiteful arrived at Falmouth on Sunday afternoon from Plymouth, to tow the ship Epsom, which put in there on the 3d inst., with detachments of troops from Hong bong to the first-named port. The Spiteful, with the Epsom in tow, left at 9 a.m. on Monday. The Trincomalee, 24, sailing ship, destined for a training ship at the port of Sunderland for the newly-entered men of the navy, was commissioned at Chatham yesterday by Commander Thos. Heard (1850). As soon as she has completed fitting at Chathani she will proceed to her destination. The Linnet gunboat, 60 horse power, left Sheer ness harbour yesterday for the trial of her machi nery and speed at the measured mile off Maplin Sand. The vessel was under the superintendence of Capt. Schomberg, of the steam reserve at Sheer ness, accompanied by Mr. W. Price, inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr. J. Baker, chief engineer at Chatham dockyard. The machinery of the vessel is built by Messrs. Maudsley, Son, and ield. The results of the trial were successful, both the machi nery and the boat giving the greatest satisfaction. Draught of water aft, 7ft. 3in. ; forward, 6ft. Sin. ; high pressure of steam, 60; revolutions, 150; speed, 8.4. Her Majesty's troopship Dee, Mtister. Commander Thos. C. Pullen, having undergoioe repairs of ma chinery, left Woolwich yesterdafladen with boilers and steam gear for the screw steamship Black Prince, under construction at Glasgow. On ac count of the enormous bulk and weight of the boilers—namely, 23 tons each, and the total ab sence of any arrangements for their being stowed below deck on board the Dee ; Ind the Rhadaman thus, it was deemed unsafe to transport more than two on each voyage, exclusively of machinery and small gear. The engines of the Black Prince, in tended to work at the nominal rate of 1,250 horse power, will be supplied with 10 of these huge boilers, two of which were conveyed by the Rhadamanthus, and six others are in readiness for shipment. The greatest prectration has been ob served in loading both vessels to avoid encumbering the decks, and to provide against the risk of the boilers filling in case of a heavy sea. On account of the increasing severity of the frost the Vivid, Bustler, and other ships lying in ordi nary at Woolwich were yesterday ordered to slip their moorings and haul alongside the wharf, to facilitate communication with the shore, which had become a task of some difficulty. Yesterday morn ing, on attempting to send a boat off, the proceed ing was not accomplished within a full hour, in consequence of having to cut through the flakes of ice which had collected during the night, and had frozen in a solid mass from the - wharf side and the pier to the line of the river teken up by the flag ship and other vessels stationed for service off the dockyard. On the flow of the tide and some heavy gusts . of wind from the north-e act the ice broke up, and the impediment was thoroughly cleared away, when the ships were brought al'angside and secured for the time. The Black Eagle. returned from Os tend on Monday with Prince Alfred, and is now coaling alongside the Hebe hulk. She is also under orders to make fast at the wharf in a similar man ner. The following sailing vessels Ictave been taken up by the War Department under contract to ship from the Military Store Depart anent at Woolwich for foreign stations, viz.—the Providence, Era, Af rican, Refuge, Medea, Cyclops, %V*terlily, Shannon and Lilly, and steamer prompt.

A new transport -carria g e for the remo val of heavy guns has been forwarded to Portsmouth ror ltahregpeuczosseorodanfntestciengto its powers in the removal of and from different parts of works, and has been found to answer admirably,. contrasting very favourably when compared with the old sling waggon. The .new carriage is very simple in character, and consists of four parts. A pole wail axle, with two wheels, with a projec ting fork and upright pin over the axle ; in fact, a " roller handspike" mounted on wheels.. The pin, on the pole being raised, fits in a plate in the rear and under part of the slide of an eight.inch gun carriage, and by pulling down the pole, precfNely as the handspike is used, the weight of the Bildt', carriage, and gun is taken off the ground and thrown on the fore axle of the transporting carriage. At the fore and under part of the slide, in a line with the fore chase of the gun, are fittings to receive an iron axle, which is clamped into its place and then fitted with its two wheels. On or dinary roads th 4 heaviest ordnance mounted on their carriage and traversing slides may thus be transported to any distance. A courtmartial assembled at the Marine bar racks, Forton, near Portsmouth, on Monday, for the trial of Henry Cragg, private Royal Marines, on the following charges :—" 1.

Robertson, of the Ist batta. lion of the Bth Regiment, the president of the said court, which struck him on the breast, while reading the minute of the proceedings preliminary to the swearing of the members; and for having, when ordered by the said Lieut.-Col. Robertson to be removed from the court, resisted the escort ordered to remove him, and attempting to snatch from the table a copy of the Mutiny Act, such conduct being subversive of good order and military discipline. 2.

IHE SOUTHAMPTON HABTLBY 111 7 TI TUTION. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY. Lord Palmerston has this day paid us his pro mised visit, and assisted in the ceremonial of laying the corner-stone of a noble edifice now erecting in the High-street, to be hereafter devoted to the en nobling pursuits of literature and science. In the afternoon a dejeuner was given by the Mayor at the Audit House, his worship occupying the chair. The MAYOR proposed " The Health of Lord Pal merston," which was received with loud and en thusiastic cheering. His worship referred to the efforts of his lordship in the cause of civil and reli gious liberty ; the moral support which his lordship had given to the struggles for liberty in Italy under the patriotic Garibaldi; and to his characteristics as a landlord and a Hampshire man. He congratu lated them all on the successful issue of the Chinese expedition, and on the fact that we were at peace with all the world, thanks to the efforts of the Government of which his lordship was the distin guished chief. The toast was drunk with every demonstration of welcome. _ • Lord PALMICRSTON, on rising, was received with loud and prolonged cheers, on the subsidence of which he said,—Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, I can assure you that I am not using an ordinary figure of speech when I say that it is impossible for me to find words adequately to express my deep feelings to you, Mr. Mayer, for the kind and too flattering manner in which you have been pleased to propose this toast, and to you, gentlemen, for the way in which you have been kind enough to receive it. To those who are engaged,in official and in Parliamen tary duties the occasions are few when they are able to meet, as it has been my good fortune to do—to meet their friends and neighbours in convivial assemblies like this. But in proportion to the seldomness of those occasions so is the gratification which they afford, and we regret that it is not oftener in our power to meet in convivial sociality those with whom we are neighbours and friends. (Cheers.) I look upon myself here, gentlemen, as at home. (Cheers.) It is the more gratifying when one receives tokens of goodwill and approval —it is the more gratifying when those tokens pro ceed from these who are one's neighbours and friends, who not only watch one in public life, but also know one personally in private relations. (Hear.) As a burgess and an old burgess of South ampton, claiming seniority in that capacity over, I believe, almost all those whom I have the honour of ineeting—(cheers) — as a burgess of Southampton, therefore, I feel doubly gratified at the cordial reception with which I have been honoured this day in the town of Southampton. The occasion, indeed, is one of deep interest. Those who have t • its watched the progress of this thriving an d prosper ous town have seen how rapidly its p o p ulae ri commerce, its wealth, its industry , i ts intelligence have of late years increased. But h itherto it has not possessed any of those large pu blic institutions upon a large scale which have g row n up in other centres of industry, of manuf a cture, and of com merce. I trust that t he bequest of which we are to day commemorating the foundation will place this town of Sou thampton upon a par with the other great comm unities of the country , and upon a leve l in its public condition with the individual and in tellectual q ualifications which prevail among its inhabitants. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, we have laid the foundation, and all things must have a begin ning ; but, as I took leave to say this morning , I am convinced that the foundation we have laid will be the foundation of a far greater structure than that which you contemplate in your proceedings to-day ; and that when it is found that you have this insti tution—those means of instruction and those oppor tunities of reciprocal and intellectual intercourse— , that not only your own citizens, but others who
