MECHANILS' INS I'!TU 10N. This useful institution is daily increasing its numbers, and proportionately extending its influence and ad vantages amongst that important portion of our fellow-subjects, for whom it was specially intended. The advantages deriva ble to society from institutions having for their object the im provement and extension of knowledge are now so generally felt, that it would be superfluous to enter into an enumeration of them. That the proud rank which Great Britain holds amongst nations, in literature, in arts, in sciences, is chiefly owing to her public institutions, cannot, we think, be doubted by those who take the trouble of inquiring -into the rise and progressive improvement in arts and science, which have cha racterized this country during the last century. The develop ment of man's intellectual powers has been the aim of the philosophic inquirer in all ages of the world, but it is the proud distinction of England, goat the government and people are united in this great aim, and that the rewards and honours heretofore lavishly bestowed upon and confined to the desolator:4 of the earth, are now granted by her to those who, from their discoveries and improvements in arts and sclencee, are justly ranked among the benefactors of. mankind. Of all the institu tions of the present day, we know of none Which in its results will be more beneficial to the country, and to mankind in gene ral, than the Mechanics' Institution. The facility which it affords to the Mechanic of acquiring a scientific knowledge of his art, is in itself a strong recommendation of this establish ment; but the higher recommendation is, that it presents the tradesman with a pleasing and profitable moral occupation for his leisure hours. The mechanic, heretofore unacquainted with the principles of his art, is, by this institution, furnished with the means of acquiring a scientific knowledge of his pur suit; his mind enlarged, and his faculties improved by know ledge, soon enable him to combine his experience with the theory of others, and become in the end an inveltor and im prover in his turn. But the aim of this Society is not confined to the acquirement of science alone, it embraces a wider field ; and from the trans action of their last meeting, it would seem as if they intended to take in the whole ranee of human knowledge, and bring its benefits, like those of the laws, " as it were," home to every man's door. As a necessary step towards this grand and univer sal information, it was suggested that a knowledge of the French language would be requisite, and a Philanthropist was not wanting to improve upon the hint accordingly. Mr. Black, Author of the Paidvhilean Systcm of Education, generously offered to give a gratuitous course of weekly lessons to fifty members. Such was the anxiety expressed to partake of this kind offer that more than double the number applied for admission to such lessons, a difficulty which Mr. Black remedied by saying if they divided into two classes, he would give two lessons in the week, and thus give all an opportunity to avail themselves thereof. It is a gra tifying spectacle to behold men of talent gratuitously devoting their labours to the dissemination of knowledge. It was the welfare of mankind that induced Dr. Birbeck, and his learned coadjutors to give Lectures at this Institution ; and the senti ments delivered by Mr. Bla':k, convinces us that he is actuated by the same praise-worthy ono ive. He commenced his Lecture by referring to the speech of the worthy President, upon laying the first stone of the Mechanics' Theatre, and after quoting a passage explanatory of the objects of the Institution, he proceeded nearly in the following words : " Some of us, Gentlemen, are destined to labour with the hands, and others with the head, but we are all born brethren, children of the same Almighty Parent, who has appointed each of 11 , 1 to our respective stations in life, and who has not left one single link deficient in the grand chain of creation, but has made each dependent on the other. It is the paramount duty of every individual to endeavour to contribute to the happiness of the general body, and the duty of the general body to contribute to the good of every individual. For my own part, I . feel fully conscious how touch I ant indebted to your united labours for the several comforts I enjoy, for the roof which protects me from the storm, the clothing which shelters me from the cold, the various machines which prepare my food, the cup which holds my drink, and the bed on which I nightly repose; in . deed I may assert, that the greater number of wed) , enjoy ments uny man possesses, so much the more does he become your debtor." • After stating that it was these considerations which induced hint to offer up his mite in the diffusion of knowledge, he stet. ed, that years of experience in this country, anti upon the Con tinent, enabled him to simplify and perfect a system by , which he would be able, in a few easy lessons, to COM. mrtnicate a better and a more correct knowledge of the French language than is usually acquired in months of unpleasant labour. The plan consists in presenting to the student a choice selection of extracts from the most esteemed French writers, accompanied by an interlineary ver sion, upon a plan entirely differing from all previous inter lineary versions, and of illustrating the principles of the lan guage etymolegicelly considered, and the rules of Syntax. from such extracts. He pointed out the great advantages of studying our vernacular tongue in conjunction with other modern lan guages, and called our attention to numerous words, which we, in common with the French, have derived from the Latin. The manner in which he analyzed the single French words, which we are compelled to render by two, three, or more, was to us perfectly novel, philosophic, and satisfactory. The study of languago thus considered is one of the most high ly interesting occupations the human mind can have, and not that toilsome, tedious labour one gener a lly finds it. Upon the merits of his plan he permitted all to remain sceptics uutil he prodaced something more convincing than assertion ; it was gratifying to perceive the earnest attention with which he was listened to even in those parts of his Lecture which must necessarily be dry and uninteresting to all who are not de termined to surmount those rude frontiers of grammar, and penetrate at once into the beauties of the language. Dr. Birbeck paid the Lecturer a high compliment, and said the Committee regretted extremely, they had it not at present , in their power to accommodate all those who wished to take lessons in the French language; in the necessity of precluding some applicants from the present lessons, the Committee had felt considerable embarrassment, but had come to a resolution, which they hoped would not be disapproved of, of selecting those for present admission, who were earliest in their appli cations. • • COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court of Coinnion Council was held at Guildhall, for the appointment of the several Commit tees f►r the year, and a variety of other business ; the principal of which was to receive the report of the Tithe. Committee, in relation to an intended application to Parliament, for the relief of the parishes subject to the claims of the clergy under the act of the 67 Henry VIII. BOROUGH COMPTEI2. The Loan MA on took the Chair at 12 o'clock, and laid before the Court a report recommending the removal of pri soners front the Borough Compter to Newgate, or sonic other prison wi!hin the jurisdiction of the City. • 31r. Alderman NVArrit MAN moved that a petition be laid before the house of Commons, praying a short Act to carry into effect the recommendation of the Committee,,which would be a great convenience, and save much unnecessary expence. 31r. FAN , el.t. entirely. .approved of the proposed resolution. .31r. Alderman Woon said, that the Court of Aldermen en tirely concurred in the necessity of the removal, which would be much better .both for the prisoners and the public. The continuance of the Borough prison would require a further ex penditure of at least 8,0001. Mr. S: Dixoti wished that the documents which had been. before the Court of Aldermen were presented to the Common Council, or at least to the Gaol Committee, before they were called upon to decide finally on this proposition. Ile made a 'notion to that effect. Mr Don at FOR D seconded the motion. . %Ir. Alderman. ' mTB MAN bad no objection to further ir vestigation, if it were thought desirable. It was then ordered to be referred to the (iaol Committee. Mr. HICK presented•a petition from the Steward of Kings ton-upon-Thames, praying for leave to make arrangements near the present Kingstombridge for the erection of a new onc.— Refeirtd to the Navigation Committee. NEW QUAY. Mr. Alderman WAITHmAx presented a petition from a number of inhabitants of the city, who were owners of wharfs' on the north banks of the Thames, against the projected quay ou tuat hue of the river, for the erection of which it was under stood an'application was intended to be made to Parliament. The new (lay, they contended, was only intended to be a n ob ject of fanciful improvement and a source of private profit, and not required by public utility. • After the petition was read, Mr. Alderman WAITIII/All said that he should approVe of this PrOposed plan of ithprovement, provided it were found beneficial to.the public, and that the in terests of individuals who owned property on eee spot were carefully 'consulted. He had, while Lord Mayor, had several interviews with Colonel Trench on the. subject, and it was per fectly understood that the City - would not - prondunee .a decisive opinion on the matter, until they were.satisfied of the public utility of the project, and that private individuals would not be injured during its progress. He was . anxithis that 'a 'petition signed as this was .ay above 2011 persons of property, be referred to the Thames Navigation Committ ee , where the interests of all parties Could be thoroughly considered. .. Mr. S. Dr Kw: said, that.this was a very important . quelition, and ought to be fully investigated befive the proceedings went further. It was of the utmost consequence to see who were the individuals appointed so carry the proposed plan of hyprove ment into efrect. At a former Court he had pointed out, • th a t however honourable these noblemen were, they were the : least qualified to estimate the value or importave of commercial and trading property. The Duchess of Ilufrand, for instance, was one el them.. and she came into the city to consult upon the plan, and said that she had no idea of the polished man ners of the City of London,' until she saw, on the occasion he• alluded to, the• late Lord Mayor---(Cries of " Hear," and laughter)—and the citizens assembled around him. As to nioney, there was always money enough to be had for any project however speculative; for instance, they now beard of a Milk Company, and were told, a: an inducement to sub scribe to it, that real Alderney cows' milk would improve the complexions of the citizens of London.--( Renewed laughter.) Mr. Fay Et.r. also approved of the reference to the Com mittee. lie was an advocate of general improvement, and did not wish to throw a damper on such a magnificent project as this, which was in unison with Sir C. Wren's original idea of renovating the city Mr. Ot.nnam thought the proposed plan both beautiful and noble, and that money might be provided for carrying it into effect. lie was anxious, however, to have the subject fully considered at the outset. Mr. Alderman Woon said, that he entirely approved of dis cussing the subject in the fullest manner, to see that the inte rest of the citizens of London, during the progress of the pro jected improvement, was preserved. As far as he was informed, the interest of the wharfingers from Waterloo-bridge to White hall would not only be preserved, but considerably improved, and the fullest compensation was intended for any individuals who might sustain injury. The plan, under these circum stances, he trusted, would be found beneficial. Mr. Alderman iVA urn st.ts; hoped the Court would never lose sight of the necessity of local improvements in the city of London, which were so essential for the preservation of their trade. The petition was then ordered to he referred to the don Committee. SPANISH REFUGEES. Mr. OrmfrAbt gave notice of a motion for the next Court, for recommending that the Corporation do vunscnb:.. a specific sum in aid of the funds for the Spanish Refugees.—(Hear !) ST. CAT!' ER I N E'S DOCK. A petition was then presented, announcing that it was in tended, in the ensuing mission of Parliament, by the petitioners, to apply for a Hill for making the St. Catherine's Dock.— The petition was referred to the Navigation Committee. A petition was presented from the owners of property below London-bridge, complaining of the inundation. of their cellars by the works carrying 'on . at the New' London.:bridge, and • was referred to the Committee of the New London-bridge. A petition was presented by Mr. Alderman WArrumax,. front the Licensed Fellowship Porters of the City of London, complaining of their being intenuir.ed by 'a wharlinger, and others, in landing malt at Quetnhithe, in violation of their un doubted right to the exclusive porterage of the city, and they (Aldine(' the assistance of the Corporation in support of their privilege.—The petition was referred to the Coal and Corn Committee. ST. 11 It 11) E'S Cli li It Clf. 211 r. SLADE presented a memorial from several of the citizens Of London, praying that the Corporation would assist them in carrying into effect such measures as were necessary f i r keeping open the area in front of St. Bride's Church, and giving the :Metropolis the full advantage of the architectural beauty of the fine steeple erected by Sir I 'hristopher Wren, as Well as a bet. ter avenue to the Church for the inhabitants of the populous district in which it was situated. 31r. Man atoTT, one of the petitioners, disclaimed on their part any pri% ate feeling in this recommendation, which was solely dictated by a sense of its i.ublic utility. Mr. SLADE remarked, that upwards of 1,0001. had been al ready subscribed by the inhabitants in the vicinity and others, for carrying this recommendation into effect, and strongly en forced the propriety of the Corporation assisting in an under taking so full of public utility. He was very anxious to see a public fund established by the Corporation, applicable to pur poses of local improvement: there was a fund of that nature, which had passed into the fund for general purposes. He tXm trasted the local improvements of Dublin, with the inadequacy of those in London, and urged the necessity of their co-operat ing to promote objects of such paramount importance. li e then moved that the memorial be referred to the Committee for Lo cal Improvements, to report thereon. 111 r. }'Av E 1.1. seconded the motion. Mr. Alderman Warcumnar said, that he had almost uni formly supported all questions of public improvement, and had worked in that pursuit with his worthy friend (Mr. Slade) for upwards of 20 years. The Court, then, would hear with sur prise, that he, thou g h th e Ald erman o f ie Ward, and.an inha bitant residing on the spot for 39 years, paying throughout the whole time nearly as large an amount of rates as any other in habitant, had never been consulted upon this proposed improve ment.. lie hoped that this neglect was not imputable to any paltry party-feeling, which would be peculiarly censurable at this moment, when all such feelings were in less operation than at any former period. Situated as he was in that ward, he must be always anxious tin the display of its local embellish ments, but he must complain of this want of courtesy towards him on the present•business, which, indeed, amounted to a Per sonal insult : he had expressed to the parties what he felt upon the business, and they had not denied the offensive intention, tbr they did not reply to his complaint. He hoped that on all occasions he should not suffer political feelings to interfere with his sense of public duty. Always anxious for public improve ments of whatever kind in the cosy of London, he wOuld ethic . = in this project, and overlook the private feelis which had been excited by the neglect to which he had allude.—Blear! ) The Loan MAYOx said, that when called upon to take the chair at the previous meeting respecting St. Bride's Church, he had asked whether the improvement was not a local one, and whether they ought not to refer the matter in the first instance to the Alderman of the ward. The parties replied, that they considered it rather a public than a local improvement, and therethre did not see the necessity of taking up. the subject as a local matter. Under these circumstances, he consented Is take the chair.. 31r. Alderman WA' T 1114 Aw was perfectly satisfied with his Lordship's explanation, so tar as he was concern e d. Mr. Deputy BrEvies was happy to support the present motion. Mr. GALLOWAY regretted that any unpleasant sensation had been created in the Worthy Alderman's (Waithnian'a) mind. by any thing which had occurred. The suggested improve ment was, he thought, highly necessary and advantageous to the city of London, and ought to be referred for the considera tion of a Committee. .•The Memorial was then referred to is Committee.
