BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs.

WRECK of the ORION STEAM I POItTPATRICK, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19.—Thislriorn• jug, Wednesday, the - 19,h, I arrived at Portpatrick, ahe scene of this catastrophe. The town iS situate I, on a bold, rocky coast; the steam-ship Orion is sunk about 500 3 ards to the north of the mouth of the - harbour; the top parts of the fore, main, and wizen masts and part of the funnel appear above water, that hi all than fs vi ible, and part of the paddle-boxes at low water. The rock on which she struck on Tuesday morning, at one a.m., is but a f..v 3 ards from the shore, the current carried her off it about 300 3 ards' seaward, where she seek. A goal tar of an hour elapsed from the time she struck till sne went down. When she struck the passengera got into the boats; ilastead of lowering them down they cut the ropes and the passengers fell iiitathe:water, many of whom were drowned, some saved by the approach of a small h. at from Portpatrick. The chief =ate Informed me he and the captain held on by the rigging till taken off by a small bear. Yesterday upwards of4wenty corpses came ashore, all mostly cabin passengers, lying in a respectable house under; the care of the superina tendent of police. The Princess Royal, one of the com pany's steamers, called at four A.M. this morning, on her way to Glasgow, and took a .number of the surviving , passengers on board, who were clothed by the inhabit ants of Portpatrick in the best manner possible, many of them hiving no time to put on their clothes. Between 8 and 9 o'clock, A M. the steam-ship' Tartar, froni gow; the proterty . of Messrs, J. and G. Burns, the pro prittora of the Orion, 'arrived *ith'one of the Messrs. Baum and-eev‘rala- 1110 ;111atives of the deceased MS wagers, itlo went and iitintned the &ad bodies, and, some found their friends among them, • One of them was the Episcopal minister of Paisley, who lost his daughter. Another gentleman pointed out to me among o the number, who was the passage; she was taking o e t h a e r r e o i n f - h l a is w i t wale daughtero lay g rie l t i o t r t , had the melancholy duty to little girl, about 10 years of age. B M a v r . G d l3; r a n thes fi , nek - perform of looking after the remain s o f hi s distingui s hed brother, Professor Burns, of the College o f Glasgow, one loporoi proprietor, of the deceased passengers. The Tartar steam-ship brought between 20 and 30 coffins. About 12 at noon the Defiance steam-tug arrived from Liverpool. In walking up and down the quay the melancholy spectacle of coffins carried by the seamen to the steam-boats, containing the bodies of the drownei persons, presented itself every now and then. I understand it was the captain's watch on deck when the sad event took place. When he sighted Portpatrick lighthouse he left the vessel in charge of the see 'LI mate and went to bed, with orders to be wakened if anything particular needed his presence. I spokewitia the second mate, who informed me Portpatrick was visible enough, aad no mist, except a dark cicud, he said, which stood over a flagstaff standing on a rock celled Coolesmy Creigs, situated arn the' northrrn entrance of the harbour. • I inquired his reason fur standing su close to shore? his auswer was to keep out of he current; when he saw the ruck ahead he ran to waken thecaptain, when she struea. •An old gentleman informed me his niece saw the Orion from her window, which fronts the har bour, and wondered to see the steamer so close to shore. I had a conversation•with one of the seamen, wbo said ho never passed so near the Mull of Galloway light house, and inquired of the second mate the reason, who aoswcred bacallSo of the currents, but who said she was too near. From corm:- sations I had with several pc.)ple, I understand the night wag not dark and the sea perfectly calm. There were 112. cabin passengers, and between 40 and 50 steer age ones ; the supposition is from 60 to 100 persons were drowned. The ProcuratonFiscal of the district is making an investigation into the case, and more parti culars will be learned. As yet no attempts have been made to get out any of the passengers on board; this probably will be cline by divers. The next considera tion will be the cargo and the ship; all expedition will he needed,. as she may soon break up on such a rugged shore. GLASGOW, THUnSDAY Ennstisto.—TheTartar steamer returned this morning from Purtpatrick, bringing with ber the remainder of the passengers who had been saved, as well as several dead bodies, including that of Professor Burns, of ,Glasgow College, Ste. Tho total number saved amounts to fully 130, but nothing decisive can be said as to the numbers who have perished, for the pas- enger-list, the only jecord, is still in the ship. It is pos sible, therefoee, tlyet many passengers, such as tourists and foreignerss'on board, may not be inquired after for . months. The surviving passengers themselves estimate that the number lost cannot be less than 100. Only 23 bodie;s have been recovered, and it is possible that not many more will he found, for the currents are rapid at Pot tpatiiek, and might soon carry the remainder out to sea. The relatives of those missing, including a brother of Mr. McNeill, of Coilunsay, are at rorti.atrick, noxiously searching for the bodies of their friends. Many most harassing incidents have occurred. A Mr. Splatt, from England, with live of a family (principally daughters) took their passage by the Orion, intending to sail tc-day from the Clyde by the ship Admiral for Australia; but all pet ished excepting the father, who i. 'left behind lamenting." Mr. Scott, a gentleman who had acquired a competency in Canada, and intended to settle iu Scotland, was on board, with his lady, his daughter, and his sister-in-law. He was joined at Liverpool by a young relative, Miss Jameson, who was returning from a boarding school to her parents in Glas gow. Mr. Scott and all his imrcediate party is drowned, but Miss Jameson has escaped. The bodies rescued have been deposited in an empty tenement in the immediate vicinity of the harbour, and present one of the most ghastly and melancholy spec tacles we have ever beheld. The bodies claimed are those of Mrs. Splatt and hdr two daughters, Ann and Mary Ann; Mr. Marchbank, traveller to Messrs. Clap perton and Co., Glasgow; Mr. Bennet, Chester; Mr. Ingo, Liverpool; Mr. Robby; two children of the name of Fraser, from New Brighton, Liverpool—one of these was an infant about 12 months, and the other a child of about three years; Mr. Ross, Glasgow; Alexander Gra ham, the steward; John Pearce, Liverpool; Mrs. ,M.Neill and two daughters; Harriet McKenzie Peughe, a daughter of the Rev. Mr. Peughe of the Episcopalian chapel, Paisley ; and Dr. BUrns. Perhaps we may not be able to give a better descrip tion of this fatal shipwreck then by transcribing the very brief statements which we have elicited from eye witnesses of the calamity. David Armstrong, a fisherman at Portpatrick, states, " That being in ill Leath he could not rest; and on Mon day evening was etandieg looking out of his window, which overlooks the bay, when he heard the noise of a steamer approaching. Wishing to sea her piss, he was surprised to observe her lights off the south pier, and he concluded that the vessel must be making for the har bour. lie was still more alarmed at seeing her pass on, as by the course ' she was steering he feared she would strike on the opposite rocks. He then hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out with all speed, but before he got out of the house he heard the crash and the yell that followed the striking of the noble ship. Ile rushed into the street, and giving the alarm that a vessel was on the rock , , ran down to the harbour and took his boat from the shore. Mr. Hannoy, the superintendent of public work., immediately came to him, and sent word of the event to Captain Hawes, the Admiralty agent, by whose exertions twelve boats were speedily manned, before a ny communication was made from the sinking vessel to the shore. He then put to sea and went out to the ves sel. He managed to pick up the captain and two other gentlemen, who were clinging to the mainmast. Ile also wished to bring off the mate, but he would not come down at first, because he wished to see if any more could pos sibly be, saved. He then came ashore, and assisted in p i c king up and carrying the bodies to proper places, and in endeavouring to resuscitate those in whom signs of life appeared. The weather was a little hazy, but not sufficiently so to prevent him seeing the steamer pass, nor from. :seeing the lighthouse or. the south pier, ar.d the rocks on the north side of the bay. Coming from the southward, the vessel might have seen the light house, although a vessel ao near the shore from the northward might not have seen it." Mr. John Cameron, commercial traveller with Messrs. John Cl a pperton and Co., Trongate, says—"l went on board the Orion, at Liverpool, with Mr. W. Marchbank, also of Messrs. Clapperton's house. It was a beautiful afternoon, and we spent it pleasantly on board, in com pany with Mr. Archibald, of Alloa, and Mr. John Hume, wool merchant, now lost. The steamer was ex cessively crowded with passengers, a large number of them being l a di es . Every berth was occupied, as well as the seats and sofas. I walked the deck with Mr. Archibald until, I think, about 1 o'clock in the morning, when I went down to my berth on one of the sofas in the saloon. The weather was then fine, and, indeed, it could not be 'said to be dark during the whole night. I cannot say that I saw the land before retiring, but we were convers ing together and not looking out for it. I threw off only my coat and bocts and laid down on the cushion, amongst the others, and immediately above the sofa on which Mr. Marchbank was asleep. I think about 20 minutes after I went down, and berore I had fallen asleep, I felt the vessel grate' along her side or bottom as it she was being ripped up with a saw, and at the same time the engines stopped. I laid a minute or so wondering what this could mean, as I had no notion that the Orion was to stop till she came to Greenock. A number of gentlemen who had heen sleeping around put up their ,heads on feeling the shock, and a few of them sprang from their berths and ran up on deck in their shirts. Up to this time there was no intima tion given from the deck that there was anything wrong. I then also got up, pulled on my boots, and at the ssme time awcke Mr. Marchbank—telling him to get up, as I was afraid there was something wrong. Hurrying on my cost and great-coat, I went on deck, leaving Mr. Marchbank in the act of rising to follow me, as I understood. On going up the stair I met the pas. sengers running down again, but I passed on without re mark. There was great confusit n on deck at this time, and a number of people gathered on the side next the land, which was distinctly seen from the ship, and I heard some ono cry, Lower the Moats; she is sinking!' From the numbers gathered on this side of the ship I TM afraid that any boat that might be lowered there • viould be swamped, anti I accordingly wenn° the lar board oe left side. There were a few people round the boat on this side, who I think were mostly 'firemen and engiideeh; with one seaman belonging to the Orion, wlio wets crying for assistance to lower the boat. I said ,I would lower it on one side if he would lower on the other. At this time the bows of the ship Were visibly sinking in the water; the after part of the • • leapt ehtttei bulwarks pe rn kt i an w b a oi nsuo;fc:aetniu the canting dozeni ship, up men—scrambled i, p i( , , % %Id. a ii n ne d ag t t a lee considerablersopp a e rk ai s nn ttiforol l owering wenre b u. r e lin f n e lbg r e e trwh— t ac h y ; kneel were rushing up like trom a house on fire. We lowered the boat until she was flush with the at the same time. W hen we got down to the water, which was quite smooth, the sailor swung down by the other rope. The boat aas entangled, however, wite some thing like broad belts, which I cut away with my knife, and the n she floated clear cf the ship. We had no e ars, however, but when we called out for them a pair was thrown down to us by a passenger, who I think was Mr. Kidston, cf Stirling. We then discovered that the beat was making water rapidly, as the plug had Lot been put in; but a sailor, who was a passenger from Liverpool, got a handkerchief and partially stopped the, hole with it. We then moved round the stern, towards the Lighthouse-pier, which was not far distant, and ir} doing so we saw that the other stern boat had swamped, and that several people were floating in the water. Some .of our people proposed to take them in, but others objected, saying, 'They would drown us also, and that our boat wouldte: back immediately and render assist ance.' There were fqurteen, I mink, in our boat. I sat at the stern, holding the handkerchief in the plug-hole the greater part of the way, but I don't know who rowed or had charge of the boat. When we were about half way I saw the steamer make a lurch and settle down, disappearing all but a part of the funnel and the masts; and at this time the most heattrending screams •pro ceeded from her, both from male and female voices. We landed, and the two sailors immediately went back to reader help. When we reached the Tier thir isstste- in...- longing to the inhabitants of Portpatrick were pushing fast out to the wreck. I stood at the bottom of the stairs leading to the pier -head, and handed up all the passengers who were landed at this point. They consisted of both men and women, and almost all in a moat deplorable con dition. Miss M'Neill, of Collonsay, a fine young lady of nineteen years of age, was one of them. She walked up the pier stairs unaided, but I learnt that she died im mediately after. Many of these rescued passengers, especially the ladies, who were conscious, were in a state of dreadful agony regarding the fate of their rela tions, some of whom were saved by other boats, and others perished. I was engaged in this way till they began to land the passengers at another spot nearer the houses. I went there and remained till the captain, who was the last, came out, and I helped him to land. He had nothing on but his shirt and trousers, and I stripped and lent him my great•coat. I never saw my friend, Mr. lala.rehbank, again in life, but his body was brought ashore at eight o'clock. lle had remained to dress him self, not having on his clothes, and I suspect that this delay was the cause of his not being able to escape. My con viction is many may have been drowned in their berths, as she went down so rapidly, and the danger was so great, that all who reached the deck may have been taken up in the effort to save themselves, without giving notice to those who might be below. The number of passengers was very great, and I beard the captain say during the morning, that there were 170 cabin pas sengers, and 50 in the steerage. The humane conduct of the inhabitants of Portpatrick was beyond all praise. I left with the Princess Royal for Glasgow at four o'clock Wednesday morning." Mr. William Anderson, one of the survivors, who reached Glasgow by the Princess Royal, states:— " The Orion was advertised to sail at three o'clock on Monday from Liverpool, and cleared out of the Clarence Dock at four o'clock with a full complement of cabin passengers (110 berths), and a number to whom berths could not be assigned. It was computed by those on board that there might be in addition from 60 to 70 steerage passengers. The afternoon was delightful, the sea smooth, and every one on board enjoyed the highest flow of spirits. Up to eleven o'clock the night was spent in the most agreeable and cheerful manna. by all, at which hour the greater number in the cabin retired to rest. About a quarter 'past one in the morning, when everything was serene and apparently prosperous, the vessel struck violently on a rock about 3003 ands north of Portpatrick lighthouse, and 150 yards from the shore. To the few who happened to be on deck the shock seemed to be serious and alarming, but it failed to waken a considerable number below, who had to be aroused to a sense of their danger by their less drowsy companions. The engine almost instantaneously ceased to work, and within a minute or two water reached the engine fires, and was in the act of extin guishing them, when a gentleman connected with a rail way line urged the propriety of instantly blowing off the steam, for the purpose of preventing the burs:ing of the boilers and the blowing up 01 the vessel, which was forth with complied with, and such a catastrophe averted. The danger becoming imminent, the engineers, firemen, and part of the crew, lowered one of the quarter-boats, and getting into it made for Portpatrick, on reaching which numbers of the inhabitants were aroused, and commenced to launch their boats for the purpose of her tuning to the scene of distress. On this boat leaving, the passengers on board, aroused to a sense of their perilous condition, rushed to the starboard lifeboat, which was instantly filled to overcrowding, and in the anxiety to get her launched the bow rope was cut, by which they were precipitated into the deep. The stern rope was thereafter cut, the beet plunged into the water, keel uppermost, and five or six persons were saved by clinging to her bottom. The captain who had been asleep in his cabin, now came on deck, and with the carpenter greatly exerted himself to undo the fastenings of the larboard lifeboat, which was no easy matter, the fastenings for a time baffling the utmost ex ertions cf the carpenter. Thu vessel was now fast sink ing by the bow with a lurch to starboard, and by the time the last mentioned boat was launched the larboard side of the unfortunate steamer was so high out of the water that the greater number of those who attempted to get into her dropped into the sea and must have been drowned. It would be vain to attempt depicting the horror, consternation, and agony of those who now oc cupied the small portion of the quarter• deck still above water. To flee to the rigging was now their only hope of escape. Here they clung in desperation till the boats from the shore were seen approaching as messengers of mercy; end all who had sufficient strength tu maintain their grasp were gradually rescued from their perilous position. Many were also saved by clinging to casks, deck luggage, &c., till picked up by the crews• of the boats. Different opinions are entertained among those saved in this painful catastrophe as to the precise time which elapsed betwixt the striking of • the vessel and her finally going down; but the general impression is that it did not exceed fifteen minutes. The persons who manned the boats from Portpatrick exerted themselves in the most efficient and praiseworthy manner. The exertions of the inhabitants, including the innkeeper., were incessant in ministering to the necessities and com forts of those who were thus unexpectedly thrown upon their hospitality and kindness, and such as to impress them with a sense of gratitude which %ill not easily be effaced from their memory. There is little doubt that many of the sufferers will take an early opportunity of testifying their appreciation of such well-timed and dis interested kindness and attention, which extended not only to the providing of shelter and internal comforts fur the body, but to articles of clothing. It may be stated that the narrator, who was aroused from his slumbers by a fellow-passenger, saved himself by get ting bold of a rope fastened to one of the masts, after having been plunged into the sea when the last part of the quarter-deck had sunk under the surface. He was eventually rescued by the boats from the shore, with many others, who were clinging on to the mast and rigging." Wo have learnt that the vessel at the time she struck recoiled, and this, coupled with the fact that the engineer let off the steam, and that there was is flowing tide, ac counts for her not striking a second time. The water was smooth as a lake, and although it is admitted by numbers of witnesses, both on board and on shore, that there was a little haze, it is confidently asserted by pas sengers who were on deck that they had remarked and were surprised at the closeness with which the vessel was run to the shore, and that the rocky coast was plainlyiperceptible. As the ship approached the rocks the man on the watch gave orders to starboard her helm, which was immediately done; but the vessel was by that 'time so' near the shore that she only got partly round before she came in contact with the reef. As soon as it was observed on board that the vessel was going down, everything that could float was thrown out by the crew.- Among the buoyant articles was a large parcel of returned spars from the Asia, boxes, trunks, &c. To this expedient it is probable that the saving of so many is attributable. DANGEROUS CONDITION OF BLACKFRIARS.BRIDGR. —At the Court of Common Council, Mr. H. L. Taylor said it appeared that, in consequence of some damage which had been done to one of the piers of Blackfriars-bridge, by steam ♦esseLs, there was reason to apprehend danger to the public• if measures were not immediately taken to repair the mis chief; and he moved that it be referred to the Bridge House Committee to inquire into the matter, and direct that imme diate steps be adopted to remedy the evil. The Town-Clerk said that Mr. Walker, the engineer, had inspected the bridge, and expressed his opinion that immediate measures should be taken to prevent the progress of the evil . The Court at once agreed to refer the subject to the committee, whose attention will be likewise called to the very bad state of the pavement of Blackfriars-bridge. Tell-tales are contemptible beings. To retail in one house what is seen or spoken of in another is a treason against society, which cannot too thoroughly be despised. —Eliza Cook's Journal.

OPENING OF THE SUNDERLAND This vast unierlaking, whose opening was cElebratei on Thursday list, in every respect, in itself, a; work of the higtn?st scientific and mechanical excellence, effected by immense corporeal labour, day and night, through every season and period of a northern year, in its probable results to this great and increasing port, is of the highest conceivable importance. 'At art early hour, the feeling c f the whole town was Manifested by such crowded streets—crowded, in t very district, by dense assemblages of well-dressed and vell conducted persons —as we have never before witnessed; and the ruerning was, providentially, in the happiest union with the joyous and genial occasion. Light clouds tempered the heat of the sun, without lessening, ) materially the brilliance and gaiety which every wall wisher to SunJerland and he r new docks cordially de -sired should give due . splendour and joyousness to the scone; The bells of the different churches rang out accordant peals, guns were fired at intervals, and the- High-street ptesented tho matt imposing as pect, the pavements, windows, parapets, and reols of every building being densely crowded with :anxious ' and impatient spectators. At a quarter past' ten the space in front of the Dock-office, West Sunniside, Bishopwearmouth, was occupied by all the official persons, municipal and maritime, whose, presence was justly required, _together with the baud of the 33d Regiment. All things were in unison; on every hand differences of feeling and opinion in other respects were laid aside altogether; a wise and good impression seemed.to prevail that there are times, seasons, and oc casions, when " party" and its virulent spirit should be sent" to the right-about," and men of all opinions and politics 'should forget the turbulent past in the genial and kindly .p.tesent. The procession, that is to say the Corporation (headed by its Mayor), and other public bodies and functionaries, began to move almost instantly alter being joined by the Chairman,- Mr. George Hudson, M.P., and proceeded through the :crowded High -street, which we believe never presented a sceae at once so joyous and impres- sive, certainly never one so justly joyous and impressive as on this memorable occasion. Guns fired, banners waved, shouts of acclamation arose; the bells of the different churches rang out merrily, and, with these pleasant accompaniments, the procession reached the river side, at the old " Ferry boat Landing," and em barked in various vessels,' put in requisition fur the purpose. 'raze Lord Durham was the first steamer which entered the dock, with gay colours flying, ai were all that fol lowed; it was preceded by the two life-boats of the port, f .ur steam-vessels, officially engaged, came next, and ii the following order:-Ist, The William and John, with the Ma)or (William Ord, Esq.) and Corporation of the. Borough. 2ad,' the Seahorse, with the Com missioners of the River Wear; 3d, the Pilot; 4th, the Fir( brand, with the Directors of the Dock Company; and sth, the Earl of Sunderland, from Seaham Har bour, with vrrwded decks, on which the band of the Most Noble the Marquis of Loodunderry stood in Lull costume, and es the Sunderland boats wont a-head, play ed the genial air of " Auld lang syne," with a mingled good • taste, good feeling, and good, musical ex ecution. , • Tho river itself was studded with every_ variety of craft that human beings could crowd intuit; and every . ves, , el of every description, afloat or on the stocks, was radiant above with gay flags, and below with happy faces and holiday garbs. . ; The banks, • the quays, the windowa, roots, parapets, and chimneys - of every building overlooking the river (even to the very platform of the chnrch- tow ere), were so densely crowded, that a feeling of, surprise naturally arose where the immense residue of spectators in other parts could possibly have proceeded from. This feeling deepened . as the vessels advanced slowly to their desti nation, guns firing, bells ringing, all the rainbow-hued, flags of all vessels (Unirm-Jack and " Marriott's Cade " included) gaily flying from all, mastheads and riggings, and every conceivable place of footing for human beings, on both sides of the river, thronged with gaily dressed spectators. A little before reaching the point opposite the River Commissioners' Office, Sir H. Williamson, Bart., M.P., came on board the Corporation steam-ves sel. The entry into the great dock, the excitement of the thousands that densely lined its banks of massive masonry, and the enthusiasm with which the first vessels that ever entered its magnificent basin were hailed on every side, was a scene never to be forgotten—a sc ene, indeed, equal to anything of a correspondin g nature which has been witnessed in this empire—as the great itself is equal to anything which the annals of ma ritime enterprise can boast of. The procession then landed, and sat down along with ! a numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen to lunch in a capacious superstructure on the coal jetty. The chair was taken by George Hudson ' Etq., M. P„ sup ported by Mrs. Bramwell and Mr s . Robinson Robinson; among. those. present we observed Sir Bedworth Wil liamson.-tho mayor;thristopher Bramwell, Esq., John Scott, Esq., David Jonassohn, Janies Hartley, Nicholas Wood. Esq., John Murray, Esq., Dr. Brown, John Denton, Esq., Mayor of Hartlepool, Joseph Simp son, Esq., Alderman Allison, the Rev. Mr. Peters, the Rev. Mr. Wellice, Rev. A. ILthune, Seabam, Rev. J. N. Brown, Dalton, the officers of the 33d Regiment, Capt. Allen, Blackwell Dull, Messrs. G. W. Wright, J. J. Wright, George. Spark, T. B. Ord, &c. 'There could not have been fewer than 700 or 800 present. Due justice having been done to the tempting delica cies—under the weight of which the tablex almost liter ally groaned—the Chairman of the Dock Company, Mr. Hudson, who presided at the luncheon, rose and pro posed the health of her Majesty, which was drunk with all the honours. The other usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been also drunk, The CHAIRMAN rose and said—Ladies and gentlemen, —I will now crave your attention for a few minutes while I make a few observations in giving what may be fairly called the toast of the day.—(Cheers.) I shall endeavour, it possible, to make myself heard in every part of the room, and I hope that the toast I am about to propose will be received and responded to in a manner worthy of the importance of the great work, the completion of which, or rather, I should say, the completion of which to a certain extent we have this day met to celebrate and rejoice over.— (Cheers.) Indeed I am sure it will be so received, as you have already evinced your feelings by the manner in which you responded to a few well-timed observations which fell from the Hon. Gentleman who last addressed you and returned thanks for the toast of The Army" (Capt. Digby), and therefore my task becomes co a ratively an easy one. I cannot but regret that I have not the abilities to do justice to the toast, the impor tance of which, I can assure you, I feel from my heart. Had I consulted my own ease—had I acted in accord ance with my own feelings—l should have wished the toast to have been entrusted to some other gentleman; but my colleagues have honoured me by leaving it in my hands, and I will therefore endeavour to justify their confidence, and, as far as possible, do justice to a toast the importance of which, as I have just stated, I most deeply and heartily feel.—(Cheers). The Rev. Gentleman who acknwledged the toast of " Thu Church" (the Rev. Mr. Peters, rector of Sunderland), whose address, I fear, from the crowded state of the room, was only heard by com paratively few of us, in the course of his admirable ob servations, said that nothing could be successful unless it had the blessing of that divine and beneficent Being to whose will we must all bow. I am satisfied, as I have no doubt you will all be, of the truth of these words. Indeed I feel that the blessing of God has rested peculiarly on this undertaking, for there was never so great and magnificent a work carried out with fewer accidents or less expenditure of human life.— Cheers.) When the promoters undertook the execution of this great work, they did so with the utmost diffi dence, anxiety, and doubt—doubt even of its success. Our engineer had proposed a novel plan of confining Neptune within proper limits, and recovering from the sea that which he had taken from us; and this day you and the inhabitants of Sunderland have had an oppor tunity of witnessing our success.—(Cheers.) I can as sure you, gentlemen, that during the progress of these works I have felt the greatest anxiety for the result; but I I have been sustained in all my anxieties by the kindly feeling always evinced by my brother directors and the inhabitants of the town towards me.--(Cheers.) What ever differences in political feeling may exist amongst us, I am sure that there can be no difference of opinion relative to the importance of the great work we have accomplished, and no one can doubt that it is likely to prove must bee neficial to the interests of the town and port of Sunder land.—(Cheers.) Ladies and Gentlemen, in carrying out this great work by private enterprise, u na id e d by the Government, we have set a noble exampl e to the world. —(Cheers.) While other nations, if they want to con struct a great national work, hav e to apply to their Go vernments for assistance, we have beenenabled to com plete this dock by our own private enterprise, unaided by any extraneous assist ance whatever. (C s h e e ers.) No thing astonishes foreigners more, and I know it from having had considerable intercourse with them, than to see the great, magnificent, and splendid works which in this country are projected and carried out by private enterprise; and there is none of those works of which we have greater reason to be proud titan these docks, the construction of which reflects the greatest credit on your engineers, being at once ornamenta l, solid, and useful. As I have said before, we have had considerable difficulties to contend with, but knowing that we bad a national work in hand, and that it must eventually remunerate us for our outlay, we proceeded steadily in one undeviating course, without looking either to the right or the lett, and the result is, that we have so fir accomplished our work as to be able to open the dock this day—(Cheers)—and I am sure the day must be a proud one, not only for us, but for the inhabitants of Sunderland.—(Cheers.) It was observed by the gallant officer who returned thauks for the navy (Captain Read, R.N.), in an early part of our proceedings, that he was glad to see that, instead of wasting your money i n the horrors of war, that you were now spending it in useful works, w hi c h would remain as monuments of your energy and your enterprise to after ages. And I am sure that any man has reason to Is el proud of th e monu merit which we have raised by the construction of our dock In tie present day we are essentially a travelling people; but few in at home; and no doubt you have ail seen the docks remain in other towns, and I ask you can didlywhether, in the course of your travels, you over saw a . ) ( • 4 work- efgreaten m nitude than ours? Theyp may b e Vlarger docks.—(2•ies of "None!" " Liverpobi!" and " No, no.") I ens told that there are no larger docks - than ours, but I was going to say that, thodgh there might be larger docks, I believed that there was no instance on record where a dock of equai magnitude had been completed as ono work.—(Cheers.) Other parties have not done all their work at one time, but we, having undertaken the construction of a dock as large as any in the world, have accomplished it by one greiit effort, without waiting to see whaler it would prove pioduo tive or not.--(Cheers.) . My friend on my right, Mr. Murray, the engineer of the docks, in the carrying out of this notional work, has, by his untiring indritry, zeal and talent, accomplished that which has not before been accomplished in eny part of the world—(Cheeis)—and that, ladies and gentlemen, in the face 'of great and peculiar difficulties with which he had to contend. Every man would be great and prosperous if he had noldifficul ties to overcome. If all .were smooth sailing men would be able to undertake any work, but it seas when there were difficultiesgtroecaotetaile,irdhs::thaith.lattat%hvaer,aaardscitheer those nedertaking work, the openine if which we have met this clay to ce lebrate, shove teat perseverance, resolution, end indus try will successfully surmount all ditliculties.—(Checre.) There is another point,, ladle; and .g ee n e „, e „ , tv which I wish to call your attention, viz., the time is which the veer!: nos °eel aetenneliehen.

Ladies and gentlemen, I um sure that I need not remind you that I take the deepest. interest in everything con nected with this - eistrice—(Cheers.) Thought I have net enjoyed so lung a connexion with you as other men have, I can assure you that, whether as your repreaen tive, or in my individual capacity, it will giver tee the greatest pleasure to do everything in my power to pro mote the commercial enterprise of your town, in which I cannot help feeling the deepest interest. I shall not, in the presence of your engineer, endeavour to enter into any description of the works already perfornied, as, should it be necessary, I am sure he will be able:to give you aMuah better description of those works than I can ' pretend to do. I may-be allowed, however, to .statie, what: I am sure must. - prove most gratifyiisg, that the works have so far been completed within the estimate—that we have a dock of twenty-one acres in extent, the average depth of which will be almost equal to that of any other dock—and that, when:the - southern outlet is completed (which I can assure you will be prosecuted with all speed, and, from the manlier the directors have hitherto proceeded with their work, may be sure they will not stop until it is completed), we shall have a depth of water equal to that eeesseescteby any dock in the king dom.—((sheers.) .. At present we have a depth of 26 or 27 feet, which is equal to the requirements of any ton nage which is,in the habit of coming into your harbour. —(Cheers.). I trust that the opening of this dock will prove the commencement of a new era in the history of Sunderland, which Las such a large and m increasing population. Indeed, fro' the seemin g population I have seen this day, I almost doubt whetbereven London itself could hove presented us, with a more gratifying sight than that which we witnessed at the opening. of the docks. Gentlemen,-that sight was one which 1' would willingly have tra.velled 1,000 miles to see, and I can not but think my friend Mr. Murray Must have felt highly gratified at it—(Cheers)—especially as it wits graced by the . presence of so many of the fair sex, by many of who'll I' am happy to see we are now sur rounnede—(Chters.). Daring the short opportunity I had I could -not help pointing out to those by ihom I was accompanied several beautiful specimens of woman hood; and I cannot but feel that, celebrated as this dis trict is for her commercial enterprise, she is, or ought to be, equally celebrated for her beautiful daughters, who are fair andscothely to look upon.—(Cheers.) lam about to give you "Prosperity to the Sunderland Docks," but this, I have been told, has been alreedy answered, for, as we were entering them to-day, the' sun suddenly broke out, which a lady who stood near me as• sured me was an omen of complete success.—(Cheers.) I almost feel.thut I have trespassed too long upon your attention in proposing this toast, as I am sure it will be at once responded to from your hearts, when I give 'you " Prosperity to the Port and Docks of Sunder land"—(Cheers)—assuring you, as I do, that the dock directors will lose no opportunity of endeavouring to make Sunderland the first port ha the kingdom. T . The toast having been drunk with three times three, Mr. J. J. Vinicirr roar, and said that, having ex pressed their ardentevishes for the success of the Sun derland Docks—a success which lie trusted would be speedily realised—he was sure that it would occur to all of : them what toast should properly fallow that which they hid just drunk, v i z , health and prosperity 'to the distinguished geutleinan to whose great energy they were indebted for tire construction of the Sunderland Docks— (Cheers)—without whose invaluable aid and attention he felt assured they never could have been carried out. —(Cheers.) In proposing the toast which he was about to bring under their notice, it was his express determi nation to abstain from touching upon any political or general subje.:t which might open the way to di s c uss ion, or was likely, to lead -them into disputes.—(Cheers.) His remarks, therefore, would be principally confined to a consideration of the accommodation which the docks would give to the trade of the town, and to the part which the chairman heel taken in procuring their construction. He might crate that the remarkable gen tleman who filled the chair had long been before the country and before the world, and he was sure that those who had witnessed what he had accomplished by his indefatigable energy and talents would agree with him (Mr. Wright) that Mr. Hudson ought riot only to be put in the first rank among the most remarkable characters of the age' - -ranking as the best friend which that town,ever possessed—but he had almost said that he ought to be ranked amongst the most eminent bene factors of the human race.—(Cheers.) . They wore met that day to celebrate the opening of a great and useful work, which he was sure they would agree with him, were calculated to make that town as prosperous as any in the British ezapife.—(Cheers.) He had no intention of entering-into the dispute of the railway world, but he Might be allowed to observe that he had recently at tended a railway meeting where those docks which they all so much a d m ir e d , were d enounce d as a flagrant jo b :—.(Cries of " No, no!")—as a great sin to be laid at the door of their worthy chairmau.—(Cries of " No, no!") He would not then dilate on the advantage - which the docks would be to their town, but he- would repeat that ho had heard them denounced as a flagrant job—a political device—almost a public robbery. He would say no more upon that point, knowing, as he did, how fully the inhabitants of that town appreciated the *slue of .the docks,' but merely remind the gentlemen present that the *uaderland Docks did not present the only claim wirieh Mr. Hudson had upon the gratitude -uf the locality: They must not forget that the nobl e bridge -over the Tyne, which presented such an inte resting entrance into Newcastle, owed its origin and con struction to the enterprise of Mr. Hudson.—(Cheers.) They might place whet monument they chose upon that bride, betels() bridge itself would ever be a great mo nument to the genius and perseverance-of George Hud son; aud, as long as it lasted, his name and public services could never be forgotten. (Cheers.) lie trusted also, that they would not forget that, through the exertions of Mr. Hudson in promoting those wores which had extended themselves throughout the country, a large supply of labour for the working classes had been provided at a time when it was most . peculiarly needed, and he believed that it was owing In a great measure to that circumstance that they had remained free from thop disturbances which bad plunged the continent into revolution.—(Cheers.) He had himself been fur twenty-five years endeavouring to have these im provements in their docks carried into effect; but he felt convinced that, hod it,,not been for the exertions, in.. flencr, and energy of Mr. Hudson, no min, or no body of men, could have secured , the construction of these great and magnifident works. — (Cheers.) In conclusion, he begged to propose health and prosperity to George Hudson, Esq.—(Cheers)—who having accomplished the great work, the success of which all so ardently desired, was entitled to their w armest gratitude.—(Cheeri.) He would now give th em ‘4 Th e health a • G ea i ge Hudson, Esq., M.P.," with a Sunderland nine times nine. The toast • was drunk most rapturously; at the can elusion of nine ti mes nine, one cheer more b e i ng g i ven for Mrs. Hudson and one for th e family. The lIItIMIIAN, in rising to return thanks, said that it was alway s to hint a most difficult and painful task to speak of himself, -but that difficulty and pain k l n as d re 'doubled on the present occasion frometcheeivveedryHis and hearty Mattlley in which he bad i b e e n en of v him ine manner fur excel lent friend, Mr. Wrig ht, had expression for the depth 'of which he could not give ld ex fo r jaw the example set him by gra titude felt. in the course of the few remarks his wh i e e x h ce h l e le s n h t o f o r l i d e li n s d e d , s a h dri du .ss to them, endeavour to say no thing which could offend any person:—(Cheers.)

It _was not only to his friends that he was indebted, b u t he must be' allowed , to observe that his political opponentetia' always treated him with the utmost kindness', andlte had never had a single harsh expression eeideessestite him in that,' town.—(Cheers.)

He trusted thaV,When their southern outlet was completed that the docks would be graced by the presence of Royalty, and that her Ma jesty would have an opportunity of seeing the great and noble work which had been accomplished by the exer tions of the people of Sunderland.—(Cheers.)
