I cannot but believe that there are yet in store for us many great achievements, and that we and our brethren across the Atlantic, increasing in population and power, shall be the means of diffusing among the nations of the earth a better literature, a sounder philosophy, and a more Christian religion. (Loud and long-continued cheering.) The noble lord concluded by moving the fol lowing resolution :—" That it is highly important to esta blish throughout the kingdom institutions whose members associate for instruction and improvement, and by small individual eontrihutioas create funds for maintaining an efficient society, with the object of combining agreeable occupation fur leisure with useful culture of the mind." The Bishop of BRISTOL and GLOUCESTER seconded the resolution. Earl DUCIE then rose and moved the next resolution — "That such institutions tend to improve the moral tone of those who enjoy the benefits which they are designed to confer, to make them more intelligent citizens, and more useful members of society." Sir ROBERT PEEL, who was received with loud cheer ing, rose to second the motion. He said—l am glad of the opportunity of expressing the gratification which I feel for the honour you have done me in the invitation to attend here on this interesting occasion. When I came here, I proposed to myself to be an earnest, an anxious listener ; and I must say, that the expectations which I had formed of the interest of the speeches that would be delivered have been amply realised in the eloquent, the engaging, the fascinating address of the noble lord. (Cheers.) Ne man in England irmore fit to discourse on this subject than he. As the lord bishop of the diocese has just said, he has done more than any man in England to diffuse among the people the spirit of education. You are, perhaps, aware that, though the Parliament of 1833 furnished a sum of money from the public funds for the purposes of education, still the great glory was reserved for the noble lord of founding the Committee of Privy Council for the purposes of education in 1839, which, though it met with great opposition at first, has since worked admirably for the public good. (Cheers.) Both as a private individual and as president of a union of mechanics' institutions in the midland counties, I rejoice to be able to bear testimony to my sense of the value of the countenance which the noble lord has this day given to those strictly popular institutions, as they are repre sented by this Atheneum, and I congratulate the mem bers of this institution on the flourishing position which it has attained ; and I trust that those who are here to night will lend their co operation to place it on a solid and enduring basis. Though there are thousands of such institutions in the country, yet many have failed ; and why ? Because support was wanting in those very quarters for whose benefit .these institu tions are specially intended. (Hear, hear.) I am very glad to see, as one interested in the progress of these insti tutions, that there are in this important and flourishing locality increased facilities for the artisan and the mechanic to improve their intellectual resources, which, after all, say what you will, constitute the true vein and essence of progress in this country. (Loud cheers.) It redounds to the credit of the liberal and generous-hearted individuals of this town who have opportunities of leisure and relaxa tion, that they should have assisted to afford to others the excellent and commodious institution which we are now as sembled to celebrate. But it appears to me that, in an other respect, this meeting has an important bearing. At the present moment, when public attention was busily en gaged with events which were well calculated to interest all who have at heart the success and the renown of Bri tieh arms—at such a moment when it might be expected that the arts and questions of peace would be overborne by the tragic pictures and the horrors of war—at such a moment it is a cheering sight and a happy augury to find England's chief statesman, as he has well been called, t eking an opportunity to disencumber himself from the weight of political duties, and giving his countenance, support, and sanction to meetings like this. (Cheers.) It was only yesterday that I read the report of a similar meeting at Bedford, where the noble lord stated he would be happy to dedicate his moments of leisure to institutjons of this kind, which were intended for the special adv-n -tags of young men. Hero is the fulfilment of the pledge — (cheers)--and it is of interest to find that the noble lord can defer other considerations to unite with this honour able company in inaugurating your new building. I say that this is a matter of happy augury, because, instead of finding that the war absorbs all other questions, we find that institutions intended for the social g even of the people absorbedofthe humblestby the ofw ar, our fellowu t th. countrymene o f o wereth e ninot forgetten. (Cheers.) I hope the members of this institu tion will appreciate the compliment that has been paid to them, and they will render themselves worthy of it, be cause they must recollect that the cultivation of the in tellect is the duty alike incumbent upon the high and low, and that the increase of facilities for . enlightenment brings with it a corresponding increase of responsibility. (Cheers.) I ask every gentleman here whether this is a moment in which we ought to endeavour to shun the responsibility that has been cast upon us ? Look at the advantages we enjoy now which were denied to those who wont before us. Look at the cheap literature of the present day— look at the well-selected libraries and the carefully pre pared lectures—and I ask you how degraded is the cha racter of that man who can be couteut to wander on through life in voluntary ignorance, when, by a little energy and perseverance, he might obtain knowledge enough to fit him for every station to which he may be called in this happy country, where, without distinction of sect or creed, the widest field of competition is opened to a noble imitation. (Loud cheers.) lam glad to laud, as one important feature of your institution, that your reading room is well provided with the current litera ture of the day, as represented by the newspapers. I once asked that veteran friend of education, Mr. Joseph Hume, what he thought of the introduc tion of newspapers into institutions of this kind, and he told me that he, for one, would never sup port any institution which did nut admit newspapers. (Cheers.) I know that some people talk of excluding poli tics from mechanics' institutions. Why, good Grid ! poli tical knowledge is that which we all feel to be of the ut most importance to this country • and I for one would impress upon all the artisans and mechanics of England that they ought to inquire into the nature of our institu tions, and, as the noble lord has said, into the history of our liberties, so that they may be fitted to take their part in the working of those institutions which are gradually and rapidly developing, so as to be extended to them. (Cheers.) It is only in this way that those classes can gain that linowledge without which popular power has snore than once degenerated into an instrument of oppression. And I would further suggest, that by reading the works of great and good men many prejudices would bo removed which have hitherto operated most bitterly to the preju dice of the working classes. (Cheers.) I have been given to understand that this institution was established in 1845, in order to afford rational occupation to those young per sons who are now released frem their hours of work at an earlier period than they used to be, through the generous efforts of another association—the Early-Closing Associa tion. Now, in connection with this subject, there is one question that has struck me, which would be of vast ad vantage to tee all to advocate. It is a question which is equally interesting to the industrious labourer, to the employer, and to the public at large—the question of hav ing public holidays at certain fixed periods. (Cheers.) I think that this question is one of great public import ance. I find that it is recommended in the report of a committee that sat lately on the subject of the Post office, so that you see it comes recommended by great authority. (Renewed cheers.) If you give a relaxation to the labourer — of course without diminution of his wages (cheers) oh, of course without diminution of his wages or salary—(cheers and laughter)—that must always be unders tood—l a m sure it will add much to the friendly labourers of this c ou ntry, I am sure it will v (Cheers.)

() every means in our power to increase the utility of iustitils tions like the present, recollecting that the aim of all these institution! is instruction, and that the situ of every kind of instruction is the exercise of all social and Christian virtues—(cheers) —that is to say, that if you cultivate the head you are almost sure to improve the heart ; and that in the very act of improving ourselves we shall be certain at the same time to benefit others. I, with you, have list ened to the eloquent observations of the noble lord ) end I draw from them this conclusion, that we ought all of tie to cultivate those noble faculties with which God has endowed its, and that so we may afford a salutary moral example to other countries, and confer dignity and distinction upon our own. (Loud cheers.) Mr. D. HILL, Csmnaissioner of Bankruptcy for Bristol, then moved the next resolution, expressing approbation of the plan of the Bristol Athenaeum, and recommending it to the support of the inhabitantsgenerally, which was seconded by Mr. SCOBELL, M.P., for Bath, and carried. Mr. SHAW, the Mayor, of Bristol, seconded by Mr. BER KELEY, M.P. for the City, moved a vote of thanks to Lotd John Russell, and the other distinguished guests, for their attendance. Lord S. IttlagEtt , shortly returned thanks, in his own name and those of the other visitors. He had learned that there was another Athenaeum in the City, supported by personr of humbler means than those who were members of the present. He believed the best thing to be done would be that no attempt should be made at a forced union of different classes—that the inhabitants should each join that institution which they could best afford ; and by that mean., he thenght, in time she whnle would receive edtt.ca• lion, 'Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting adjourned. involved labour that was no child's play. He spoke in the Hu he r e e h s e a n ci c e n o e f f ea a r n m y e f members co ncontradiction of d eti e t the e wh o en s e h o e f said Commons, that and t here was not a man in that assembly who worked harder for his own gain than the noble lord did in the service of his country. There were many other distinguished speakers ft or r a t d h d e r m e s sa h ll _ e i m n , e e a m n i e t d e o d n only t r h e m e y a state of the room—to give all speakers great attention, and m in i e g d ht fo b r e b h y l m the to cro so w l d ic e i d t to preserve perfect quiet.

I trust that my coming hither may be of some small use to the institution whose inauguration you celebrate, and some use to other similar institutions throughout the country; but certainly the reception you have given me far surpasses any one which my utmost expectations might hope to achieve. Let me address myself as soon as possible to the business of the meeting, and to the questions which lie before us. I cannot but rejoice to think that the progress which this country is making in education is so great, nnany will deny it to be rapid, but I trust it is a sure progress, and that its present extent is an augury of further success. In the course of the last half century we have had our day schools so multiplied, that in the place of one, two, or three handred thousand scholars, there have risen up more than two millions of scholars. We have also our literary institutions, literary societies, and Athenaeums spread over the country, and I trust that in this respect the west will be found to compete with the north in the value and extent of those institutions. We have seen within the last day or two the commencement of a, new system of reform within the University of Oxford, and I trust that that venerable institution, still keeping all it had that was valuable, will now extend it- benefits still more widely than it has hitherto done, and will more de serve the name of a national institution. (Cheers.) Such being the general aspect of education and of mental in struction, let me turn to the institutions which you have in this city. I find upon inquiry that this is far from being the only institution of the kind among you ; that there is also an early-closing society, which has its own lectures and its own establishiments ; that there is an other institution which has a most valuable museum; and that there is still another society, which has a large library and an extensive collection of books in every branch of science and literature. Many of these have sprung from low beginnings, ; and the lord bishop of the diocese many years ago inaugurated a society which is one of the branches from which the present Athenaeum has been formed. Now I trust that not only will these societies continue to flourish, but that they will receive great extension ; especially that tho library which is connected with this institution, and the library whicia has no other object, may have so valuable a collection of books that those who have leisure may by these means be able to improve it in the cultivation of their minds ; and that those who are engaged in heavy and wearisome occu pations throughout the clay may in the evening receive that recreation from literature which literature is so well able to afford. (Cheers.) Now perhaps, ladies and gentlemen, I may allow myself so far to depart from what is usual in assemblies of this kind that whereas it has been usual to fix on some author or collection of authors who deserve praise arid study, I wish to point out one branch in our literature—and that an important branch—in which, ac cording to my notions, there is a void yet to be filled up. I speak of no less a subject than the history of our own country. (Cheers.) We certainly are a people who up to this day—and I believe we show no signs of degeneracy— have been celebrated in arts, famous in arms, and we prize above all things our literature, our liberty, and our reli gion. Now we have—not to speak of living authors—but we have, in respect to certain periods of our history, emi nent authors who will always be read with delight and instruction. But at the same time something is wanting, even with these. The name of Clarendon will flourislathrough all times as the author of a history in which weighty periods and wise reflections ever captivate the attention, and whose portraits of character are worthy to be placed by the side of those which Vandyke has given us in painting. But Clarendon was himself an actor in the scenes which he de scribes, and he naturally puts in the fairest light the ac tions of those whose side he espoused. There are other periods of our history which have been depicted with the greatest force, and by living authors, on whose merits, if I were to mention living authors, I could dilate with the greatest pleasure. But with respect to general history— and this nation deserves a general history—(cheers)--I look in vain. When Lord Chatham wished a beloved nephew to learn the history of our civil- wars, he refers him to May's " History of the Past," an obscure and ill written work, however much its sentiments might have pleased Lord Chatham. Mr. Fox, in speaking to the tutor of a young men in whose education he was much interested, recommended him to read Rapin's " History." But Rapin's " History," diffuse and prolix as it is, will hardly be read by many in the present generation, There remains a distinguished author, the beauty of whose style, the skill of his narrative, and frequently the justice of his reflections, have made him a very pophlar author—l mean David Hume. But if we were to ask what qualifications David Hume had for writing the history of this country, we should find that in all those respects which I have men tioned—in literature, liberty, and religion—he was pre eminently destitute of those qualities which would fit him for writing such a history. Let us take, in the first place, literature. I was reading not long ago the character which he gives of Shakspere and Bacon. He represents the ex ample of Shakspere as well fitted to act as a warning to all persons who have no learning, and no knowledge of art, how they presume to excel in the knowledge of a great art. He says his genius is irregular, and that beautifully as he describes characters that are rare and unusual, he is totally wanting in propriety of diction, and that we can only admire him as we admire those gigantic forms which are often accompanied with deformity and mon strosity. Now, I ask you—and I am sure, if you read the passage, you will agree with me that I have given a tole rablyfair description of it—l ask you whether Shakepere is an author who ought thus to be dismissed in a history which pretends to treat of our national literature? (Cheers.) So he speaks of Bacon, who was at all events a great philo sopher, whose sagacity enabled him to take a correct view of the progress of philosophy, and to point out the mode in which modern science would finally excel the ancient. Mr. Hume mentions him with some commendation indeed, but at the same time he takes care to point out that Ga lileo was far his superior—that Galileo actually accom plished that which Bacon only pretended to teach. Well, ladies and gentlemen, Galileo was a great man—no one doubts it; but is not that a most unfair way of diminish ing the glory of Becon ? (Cheers.) But, in fact, Mr. Hume being reeeustomed all his life to French models (ad- miring the regularity of the French models--atni no doubt the writings of the French authors ere excellent in their way), was unable to pereeire the transcendent excellences of the English anthem 'Text, with regard to freedom. Mr. Hume never seems to have perceived what it was that made this country so great, and which so well Justified her people in making their struggles for OA enjoy went. of our present privileges. In early times—in the time of Edward IV.—he mentions at something remarkable that the Par liament took no interest, and, showed no sympathy for the Duke of Clarence, when the murder of that prince took place, while they showed themselves very chary in granting supplies to the Crown. Now, there was no reason at all for the people caring whether the tyrannical princes of those days acted unjustly and oppressively towards each other—it was but a change of tyrants if one succeeded the other. But, in voting money, the Parliament felt that if they gave that money lavishly they were giving up all the means by which their freedom could be secured. Again, in the reign of James 1., Mr. Hume, in mentioning the impri sonment of those eminent men, Coke and Selden, for ven turing to speak their mind in Parliament, he has no sym pathy for those great men by whose sufferings our liberties were purchased ; he has no indignation or censure to cast upon the prince ; he mentions it merely as an act of rash ness and imprudence on the part of the sovereign. On the third point—that of religion—l do eot think that is a topic on which it would be fit to dilate in this place, and there fore I shall only say that Mr. Hume—a sceptic of sceptics —a man who made it his sport to destroy all belief and all faith, not only in revealed religion, but in the very exis tence of the mind, and who indulged in speculations of this kind as it were to show his great wit and ingenuity—Mr. Hume was hardly the man to show sympathy for the religi ous struggles in which the people of this country have been engaged. I have endeavoured thus shortly to show why I corn e to the conclusion that, among the wants of the literature of this country, we want a writer who shall write the history of this great people with a clue appreciation of their great qualities—who will celebrate, as they ought to be celebrated, those men among us who have been eminent in literature and science—who will appreciate, as they ought to be ap preciated, the contests of the great men in former days, who fought, at the sacrifice of their limbs and their lives, in order to obtain freedom for us ; and who will appreciate likewise that liberty of conscience by which a people so great in other respects have made themselves deserving of everlasting remembrance. (Loud cheering.) He who at tempts this work—he who attempts to give us such a his tory—will certainly not have the mournful reflection which some of the Greek and Roman writers had, that they were depicting the virtues of past days ; that they were delineating qualities which had altogether d isappeared; because we may say that up to this time certainly we value liberty, we value the benefits we enjoy, and the last three months have shown that for valour in arms there never was a time when Englishmen stood more justly distin guished than at present. (Immense cheering.) And now, ladies and gentlemen, on venturi ng t o t rou b le you with these observations, let me only further say that I shall ever be grateful to you fur the reception which you have given me to-clay. (Cheers.) I trust that this institurion, anti nil similar institutions, will take care to foster solid Ivrirnin . ; , in the lectures and general instruction they may impart, end that while the and flowery paths of literature are not neglected, solid philosophy and the great wasters of English literature will be duly cultivated, so that we may trust we shall produce in future times works Mr. Mare's Tynemouth (G.

These positions were maintained to the end, Poodle winning cleverly by a length. A long interval between each of the others. When half way between the Duke's stand and the chair, Grapeshot ran out several lengths to the left. Plenty of sport, and an agreeable change in the wea ther, rendered a visit to the heath quite enjoyable.

He contended that it had not been proved that the prisoner had been guilty of fraud, or that he had told a falsehood, and as those had to be proved before they could find him guilty, he called upon them, however much immorality has been committed, to acquit him. The Recorder then summed up, and the jury. after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of guilty on all the counts of the indictment. The prisoner was then sen tenced to two years' imprisonment. with hard labour. Mr. Seymour asked the Recorder to grant a case, in order that it might be taken to the superior court. The Recorder said he bad not determined whether he should grant a case or not ; but the matter should have his serious consideration. On Wednesday morning the prisoner was again placed in the dock, charged with committing an assault on the prosecutrix. He was found guilty on the charge, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The discussion relative to the granting of a case was resumed, and ultimately the Recorder refused to grant one.—Eastern Counties Herald.

THE ASTEONOMER ROYAL IN A COAL PIT. NEWCASTLII, Oct. 25.—The Astronomer Royal, Pro feseor Airey, has been engaged in the North during the past three weeks pursuing a series of interesting and delicate experiments, with a view of determining some important questions with regard to the density of the earth. The learned savan has been assisted in his im portant investigations by a staff of assistants from dif ferent observatories in the kingdom. Mr. Dunkin, of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich,. who, in the absence of the Astronomer Royal, had charge of the experiments ; Mr. Ellis, also of the Royal Obser vatory ; Mr. Pogson, of the Redcliffe Observatory, Ox ford ; Mr. Rumker, of Durham Observatory ; Mr. Cris wick, of Cambridge Observatory ; and Mr. Simmonds, of Mr. Carrington 's private observatory, Red-hill, Sur rey, have been engaged making daily ebservations. Horton Colliery, which was the scene of these im portant observations, is about two miles south of South Shields, and is well adapted for the purpose, being one of the deepest coal mines in the neighbourhood. The lowsr station was 1,260 feet below the surface of the earth. The observations consisted in noting the vibra tions of an invariable pendulum on the surface, and another at the bottom of the mine, both being mounted on iron stands similar to each other. These pen dulums hang on knife edges, resting on agate planes, thus sustaining little resistance from friction. If swung in vacuo, the vibrations would probably have continued for Swenty-four hours, and in their state as used, though liable to hindrance from atmospheric causes, yet the • vibrations continued at least eight ar nine hours. Cor rections were applied to the results from the effects of temperature, and also for buoyancy, or the effect pro duced by the pressure of the air on the pendulum. The vibrations were counted by the assistance of a clock, which was mounted immediately behind the detached pendulum ; and thus, by the aid of the clock, the number of vibrations in a certain time could be easily noted. The method was simply this ;—To the centre of the bola of the clock pendulum was attached a small oval-shaped disc, covered with gold lea f, and illuminated by a lamp. It was necessary in the adjustments that this disc, when and stationary, that tshheorueldshboeuldhibde by a th ,,l ttt it d , e n tac t l i i ie ed c cn kdhere ucl n a s m e which shou l d also be ju st covered by it. A line, t here fore, fore, drawl through the centre of the telescope, w was placed at a little distance through the detached pendulum, the slit in the clock case, acid the Wilma nated disc on the clock pendulum should be a straight lino: Suppose the two pendulums wore set swinging, we should then perceive that one was vibrating faster than the other, and that the disc would he gradually approaching the detached pendulum until it would be completely hid, and both pendulums would be going exactly together. This was called a coincidence, and wits carefully noted to the nearest second of time. When the illuminated disc reappeared, which was generally in a few sec - made, one pendulum still continued gaining on the other, until another coincidence took place, the time was again noted, and thus we have the interval of coincidence, or the time occupied in one pen dulum gaining two seconds over the other. The rate of one pendulum was easily found ; and as this operation Was performed simul taneousl y at the upper andlower stations, nothing remained but the comparison of the two clocks. In the Astronomer Royal's former effperiments in Cornwall this wa s the most difficult part of tho opera tion. It that time it was necessary to fasten the clasono meters to the body by means of straps, and ther to as cend or descend by perp endicular ladders, a j ourney which occupied considerably more than an hour in its accomplishment. In the present experiment this section of the observations was qnite, if not more satisfactory than the observation of coincidences, owing to the adap tation of galvanism to astronoraleal purposes, and by this means the comparison of the clocks was effected. A wire coated with gotta percha passed from one pole of the battery through aclock, wh i c h was so arranged as to push a spring, causing a galvanic circuit every 15seeonds, from the clock the wire passed through a galvanometer at tached to the clockcase at the upper station, thence un derground to the shaft, down which it descended to the lower station, when it passed through another galvano meter also attached to the lower clockcase, it then re turned up the shaft to the other pole‘of the battery, and thus the circuit was completed. Signals were simultaxe ously observed by the observer at the upper and lower stations, which gave a direct comparison of the two clocks. By this means every element for the determination of the gain or loss of the tipper pendulum over the lower, and consequently the difference o f the force of gravity acting on both pendulums, was formed by calculation. The observations extended over a period of three weeks, the pendulums remaining the first week in the same posi tion. In the second week they were reversed, so as to elimi nate any error which may attach to either pendulum. In the third week they were reversed in the middn of the week. No result has yet been obtained, as tha dis t mission of the large mass of obse rvati o ns will require anasiderable time a nd attention, but cnoagh has been done to show that the observations are of a very superior I character, and it is the Astronomer Royal's opinion that most valuable results will be obtained from theta. 1 I
