He knew that in so doing he had rendered himself liable to ,the charge of wishing to arrogate to himself the honour of being the first person to suggest such a course of proceeding. Such, however, was not the case; and he trusted that those persons who might previously have suggested the propriety of such a step would give their friendly support towards the accomplishment of the de sign. It had been objected that such a proposition ought not to have been taken up by any individual in a situation so humble as that which he occupied ; but the fact was, that the more humble the position, and the less claim which such a person would have upon public attention, the more strongly would it prove that there was something in the proposal itself valuable and important, when general concurrence was obtained in its support. Whoever might have originated the idea, he was only anxious that it should be honourably and nobly car ried out. With respect to the proposal itself, it was probable that there might be some differences of opinion. It might, and indeed had been said, that his Royal High ness Prince Albert already lived in the esteem and affec tion of the country at large, and further that the pro posed monument was perfectly unnecessary for the pur pose of convincing any one of the existence of such a feeling. Even the magnificent structure now erecting at Sydenham, and the exhibitions of industry and art which had been held in Ireland and other countries, the success of which was mainly to be traced to the Great Exhibition of 1851, had been considered as affording in themselves sufficient memorials of the Great Exhibition and its noble President. With these opinions he did not concur. (Cheers.) On the contrary, he thought that if so many examples had already been brought for ward testifying to the importance and value of such col lections of industrial art as that of the Great Exhibition, the great event itself ought not to be allowed to pass by without a memorial that it had once existed among the people of England. (Cheers.) He thought that the nation ought to have an opportunity of testifying their respect and esteem for his Royal Highness in connection with the Great Exhibition, and this he thought would hardly be afforded by the erection even of the beautiful statue of Marochetti. These were . the reasons which had induced him to take the steps which he had done, and he only desired that the proposal might meet with the widest possible success among all classes of his coun trymen. (Cheers.) The Lord Bishop of OXFORD proposed the first resolu tion, and in doing so said that he had great pleasure in proposing the adoption of the resolution. He thought it was of great importance in the opening of the meet ing that they should mark what should be the object of the meeting, and the resolution did so, and if they wan- , dered from the simplicity of this project he could see no objection to it, but if they wandered from that object, there would be many defections. Prince Albert had ex hibited great virtues, and was justly endeared to the people ; but it would be premature to erect a memorial of the Prince in his own lifetime. But when the propo sition was on account of the Great Exhibition, he thought the object appropriate and deserving; for as events passed on such things might be forgotten, and, therefore, they should commemorate the great fact of the Exhibition while yet the memory of it was vivid, and then there was the fact that the memory of the ob ject was in itself deserving. The Great Exhibition had added a new fact to the character of nations, and had stimulated the industry which the present day could not see in its full influence, but which had already exerted a great influence on the nations of the earth. This great act was an act which increased the commodities and the comforts of the whole world, and the way in which it had been taken up in other quarters was a sufficient proof of that. And no man could more appropriately call a meeting like the present than the Lord Mayor of London, who presided in the highest commercial city in the world. He was sure they would meet with a re sponse from all, if they did not come forward for the purpose of base adulation, for the Prince would be the first to §purn such an offering, but for the purpose of commemorating the great and beneficial influence of the Great Exhibition. He would conclude by moving the first resolution : 23 - 22 - • 3 - ii -7- liO A 8 - 110 ~ - •• 8 - 81 64 7 95 101 95 100 95 100 id par 1 1:39 141 ~. - ••• c., 1852 ......... 100 Do.

It had been the theme of praise in every quarter, and for two years it was their disgrace that something had not been done to commemorate that great event, and they were obliged to the Lord Mayor for originating this meeting. He hoped the meeting would meet with that support which it deserved. The LORD MAYOR stated that he had received several hundred letters from different parts of the country ex pressing approbation of the object of the meeting ; but only a few of them would be read. Letters were then read from Lord Aberdeen and others offering subscriptions. Lord Aberdeen, Si. ; the Duke of Norfolk, 1001. ; tho Duke of Sutherland (no subscription mentioned) ; Duke of Argyle, 301. ; Mar quis of Breadalbane, 501. ; Earl Spencer, 501. ; Lord Ashburton, 501. All the other letters were in support of the object of the meeting ; most of them inclosing subscriptions. Letters were received from the Duke of Bedford, the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Roseberry, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Lord Campbell, &c. From these letters we select the following : " Argyll-house, Oct. 31, 1853. "My dear Lord Mayor—l ought to have returned an earlier answer t 3 your letter ; but I now hasten to say that it would give me much pleasure if my name ap• peared in the first list of the supporters of your' proposal as a subscriber of fifty pounds. " With the best wishes for your success, I have the honour to be, my dear Lord Mayor, very truly yours, ABERDEEN." " Inverary, Oct. 30, 1853. "My Lord—ln reply to your letter respecting the proposal to erect a statue to his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, on the site of the Great Exhibition of 1851, I beg to express my cordial concurrence in this undertaking, and my desire to contribute thereto. Will your lordship be kind enough to put down my name for thirty pounds ? " I have the honour to be, your lordship's obedient, &c., " ARGYLL." The Duke of Norfolk requested that his name might b e put down for 100/. ; the Marquis of Breadalbane, Earl Spencer, Lord Ashburton, and the Marquis of Westminster, stated their readiness to subscribe 501. each. A. letter was also read from a working man, who begged that his name might be put down as a subscriber of 1/. is. The total number of subscribers was stated to be about 600, and the amount of subscriptions nearly 5,000/. MORE THAN STRANGE, IF TRIJE.—A rumour is cur rent in Shields—and there seems some foundation for it in fact—to this effect :—a foreign seaman was taken ill of diarrhcea on board of a ship in the Tyne, and to all appearance died. Before he was taken ill he had sent his shoes on shore to be repaired, and the cobbler, having received no information of the man's demise, after finishing them took them on board of the ship, when he was informed that his customer was dead. He went down below, and found the body in a coffin. He looked at it and found the forehead was warm, and the purse still slightly throbbing. He gave the alarm, and the man was uncoffined. This was at 2in the after noon, and it is stated he did not die until 4.1. --Sunder• /ort,c/ News. The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution, which was carried amid the greatest acclamation. The PROVOST of ETON proposed the second resolution. He felt so deep a debt of gratitude to Prince Albert for his encouragement of education, that it afforded him great pleasure in proposing the resolution. He cordially concurred with what had fallen from the Bishop of Ox ford, that the testimonial should not .be one in honour of the general merits of Prince Albert, but of peculiarly applicable to the great event of the Exhibition. He be lieved there never was an association ccmbined together for the purpose of promoting peace which had such an effect to accomplish that object as th at of the Great E hibition. He knew of no better mo de of atinx d con ] ; But th g e the Exhibition than the one Pr object proposed would be carried°Lo se should be left to w ould, no doubt, the committee to be appo inted, give the 'subject thei r best convhsideration. He then moved the following resoluctioomn:— orative of the Exhi- "2. That a monu.menof whm em st ich a atue of his Royal biti on ought to bera,ise d ,t Hi g hness Prince A lb e rt should be a principal feature, to mark the sense en tertained of the great ability and zeal leidiothness displayed in carrying out that which his Rot' lotwithstanuing the numerous difficulties by object,whichitl was s urrounded." SADWEL MORLEY, Esq„ in seconding the resolution, said, it appeared to him that the Great Exhibition was one of the greatest educational exhibitions which had :, ~. ~- 8 5 3. ever been attempted, and he thought that the individual who was mainly the cause of it should be honoured with the testimonial proposed. Mr. JOHN WILES spoke in support of the motion, and expressed his hearty and cordial concurrence in the object of the meeting, to which he was sure the country would respond with alacrity. He could see no obli gation more worthy of the citizens of London and the country than to commemorate the merits of Prince Albert in reference to the Great Exhibition. The second resolution was then put and agreed to. Mr. Alderman WIRE moved the third resolution. The long list of subscriptions which had been read made it unnecessary for him to say anything beyond moving the resolution, which was— "3. That the following noblemen and gentlemen be requested to act as a central committee to carry out the objects in view, with power to add to their number." [Here follows a long list of names of noblemen and gentlemen.] The resolution having been seconded by Mr. Tite was unanimously agreed to. A vote of thanks was then moved to the Lord Mayor, and. the meeting broke up. THE LORD MAYOR'S D.Y.

AMERICAN EXPEDITION TO JAPAN. The IVashington Union publishes extracts from a de snatch received at the Navy Department from Cont. M. C. Perry, commanding United States East India squadron, dated at Napa, Island of Loo Choo, June 25, 1853, respecting the purchase of Port Lloyd, in one of the Bonin Islands in the Japanese Sea. The Bonin Islands extend in a direction nearly north and south between the latitude of 26 deg. 30 min. and 27 deg. 45 min. north - the centre line of the group being in long. about 142 deg. 15 min. east. The principal islands, and indeed all of them, have been named by Captain Beechey, of her Majesty's ship Blossom. The northern cluster he called " Parry's Group ;" to the middle cluster, consisting of three larger islands, he gave the names re spectively of "P ee l , " " Buckland," and "Stapleton," and the southern cluster he called " Baily's Islands." Port Lloyd is situated on the western side, and nearly in the centre of Peel Island. It is easy of ingress and egress, and may be considered a safe and commodious harbour, though of deep anchorage, ships usually anchoring in from 18 to 22 fathoms. The safest anchorage is to be found as high up the harbour as a ship can conveniently go, having regard to depth and room for swinging and veering cable. Wood and water can be obtained in abundance, though the former must be cut by the crew, and of course taken on board green. The water u is2 y b . - tained from running streams, and is of good quality The few settlers still remaining on Peel Isla other islands being uninhabited raise cninons, taro, quantities of sweet potatoes, Indian corn, ° 1). are water and a few fruits, the most abundant of which o leratbilee melons, bananas, and pine apples ; a few d sale poultry are also raised.

Thes excellent os ling that of Madeira and cultivation, very much rattertehe being in the same parallel the Canary Islands ( auently is admirably adapted for c ?, n e s vine, and of wheat, tobacco, sugar of latitude) and the cultivation of tla cane , and many ot h er valuable plants. Of sugar and tobacco the settlers a lready cultivate enoug h for their own consumpt io n. Timber for building purposes is ra ther scarce , and would soon be exh aus t e d i f any in crease of population were to call for the erection of many buildings. The best kinds are the tamana and the wild mulberry. The former is similar to the red wood of Brazil and Mexico, and is very enduring. Commodore Perry caused the island t o b e thoroughly explored by two parties of officers, and their reports will be duly filed with other similar papers. The master of the Saratoga also surveyed the harbour. Having long been satisfied (writes the commodore) of the im portance of these islands to commerce, my present visit has been induced by a desire to examine them myself, in view of recommending Peel's Island as a stopping-place for the line of steamers which, sooner or later, must be established between California and China. To this end I have caused, as before-mentioned, the island to be ex plored, and a few animals placed upon two of the group as a commencement of a provision for future wants. I have also distributed garden seeds of every description to the present settlers, and have held out hopes to them that I may furnish them with implements of husbandry, and a greater number of animals. Indeed, I have gone so far as to secure a suitable spot fur the erection of I offices, wharves, coal sheds, f&c.". THE WAGES MOVEMENT. The unemployed weavers of Preston attended in large numbers at a meeting held in the orchard at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. it was announced that the amount received by the committee exceeded 2,000/. being about 2001. more than had been obtained in any previous week. Mr. THOMAS RHODES (who presided) congratulated the assembly on the augmentation of their resources, and gave promise of still further increase a fortnight hence. Mr. GRIMSHAW moved the first resolution, which was as follows :—" The operatives of Preston, in public meeting assembled, having read the decision of the em ployers on the 4th inst., not to re-open their mills only on condition that the wages of, the operatives be re duced the 10 per cent. granted to them in August last, hereby most solemnly declare their unalterable resolve not to accept such terms, but to maintain inviolate their just demand— namely, an unconditional 10 per cent." It had been said that they were not good generals in making their demand now, when trade was bad, food dear, and winter approaching. Now, in his opinion, this was just the time to try their strength, and to show their mettle. If they could manage this winter—if they could stand the frost and snow, the highness of provi sions, and bad trade, they should be able, when trade revived, when provisions became cheap, and when sum mer returned—they should then be able to redeem labour from* that degradation in which it had hitherto been engulfed. (Chen-s.) They had every confidence in being able to weather the winter ; for sooner than they should be defeated, their fellow-operatives in other town had promised to send the entire proceeds of one loom each, which would amount to 4,0001. or 5,0001. a week. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GEORGE COWELL seconded the resolution. He said he had been told that the operatives were robbing the whole of the shopkeepers of Preston. He had no doubt the shopkeepers were suffering, and suffering ma terially ; but he scrupled not to say that whatever might be the amount of suffering, of privation, and of poverty existing in the town, the operatives' committee were not responsible for it, but the parties who had closed their mills against an unoffending people. (Hear.) Although the manufacturers were scampering about the country in order to curtail the subscriptions flowing into Preston, he was happy to say that those subscriptions were weekly increasing. According to the statement of a delegate in town yesterday, one of the principal mill owners in Blackburn bad given 6d. a loom to every weaver who came to the help of the factory workers of Preston. (Cheers.) He held in his band a letter stating that the manufacturers of this town had been to Bolton for the purpose of persuading the masters there to close their mills ; but he was thankful to say that hitherto their mission had been fruitless. (Hear, hear.) The writers in those newspapers which sought to run the operatives down, did not attempt to prove that trade was in such a position as not to warrant the advance of wages now claimed, because Blackburn, Stockport, Accrington, Darwen, &c., were paying that advance, and none of the manufacturers in those towns murmured about it. He therefore contended that those millowners being in a posi tion to give the required advance, the imllocracy of Preston could do the same if they liked. (Hear, hear.) This week, when all the money had arrived, they should have ' 3001. more than last week. He had no doubt the sub scriptions would continue to rise ; and if it had not been for the manufacturers getting Bacup, Bromley, Padiham, Newchurch, and the surrounding districts to close their mills, the committee would this week have had 3,0001. But never mind that. They should still go on increas ing until they had 3,0001. for the weavers alone. New channels were daily opening up ; every post brought fresh overtures of sympathy and support, and they might depend upon it victory would be theirs, (Cheers.) The resolution was then submitted to the meeting, and carried by acclamation. Mrs. MARGARET FLETCHER addressed the assembly on the impropriety of married females working in factories and neglecting their children and household duties. Every man was entitled to a fair day's .wages for a fair day's work, by which she meant that he ought to have such remuneration for his labour as would afford him the means of maintaining himself and family in comfort, of keeping his wife at home to attend to domestic duties, and of educating his children. (Cheers.) The speaker concluded by moving the annexed resolution :—" That the married portion of the females in this town do not intend to go to. work again until their husbands are fully and fairly remunerated for their labour." Mrs. ANN FLETCHER (sister to the last speaker) seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN announced that when the 10 per cent. question was settled, there would be such an agitation raised respecting the employment of married women in factories as the millowners of this country little ex pected. (Cheers.) Several other addresses having been delivered, the meeting separated. WIGAN. The town has remained perfectly quiet since Friday, and nothing has occurred at all likely to call for the interference of the military force, a detachment of which is still at the Saw-mills, the scene of the attack on Mon day evening last. A. meeting of the magistrates took place at the Town-hall yesterday morning, when it was resolved, in accordance with a recommendation from Lord Palmerston, to summon 500 special constables from the list of 101. householders ; or, if the number cannot be made up from that list, the deficiency is to be supplied from other classes, at the discretion of the special con stables. It was also resolved to recommend to the Watch Committee, at its next meeting, a considerable increase in the police force of the borough. Only one new prisoner has been made. He was brought before the magistrates yesterday, and remanded till Wednesday ; the other three prisoners, who had been remanded, being then committed for trial at the assizes. It does not appear that any of the turnouts have yet availed themselves of the opportunity afforded by the masters of returning to their employment. About 6 o'clock yesterday morning about 40 of the hands in the employment of Messrs. Woods and Son, Trencherfield works, presented themselves at the establishment, and were recommended by the managers to try and assemble the whole number, which comprises about 1,000 spinners and weavers. At 10 o'clock about two-thirds of them were collected, and there appeared to be a mutual expectation on either side that the other party had sought the meeting in other to yield ; but, on the workpeople being informed that they might resume employment at the prices which they were receiving in May and June last (which would in some cases amount to a reduction, and in others to an increase on the rates paid at the time of the strike—six weeks ago), they declined to do so, and quietly dispersed. This cir cumstance will probably have its effect •n persons who p ha le v a e d b ing eenthsaotlitchiteey w df eie willing or.almsby the turnouts, the latter to return to work, but that the masters would not allow them. A meeting of the turnouts was being held at Wigan yesterday, and another at Sch . oles ; but th e resu l t h as not transp i re d , t h oug h the circumstances was considered symptomatic of a disposition to yield. An official report has been received by the authorities, statino , that the colliers at Messrs. J. Blundell and Sou's, Pemberton colleries, who returned to their employment on Wednesday and struck again oon the followi ng d ay , w ith ou t a ny apparant reason, again resuming work on Saturday ; but we are positively assured, on the other hand by persons professuig to be well informed, that this is not the case, and that four miners who did attempt to go to the pits were waylaid by the other turnouts, and compelled to go home again. The meeting of the elergymeen,e4nagdeasnmdenad, i md rn o e th d e t iis il , which was held on Thursday v Saturday, with the view of adopting some steps for the removal of the distress occasioned by the continuance of the dispute, resulted in the appointment of the Bev. Mr. Cronshaw and three Dissenting ministers as a de putation to wait upon the employers. MR. ROEBUCK ON EDUCATION. An interesting letter from Mr. Roebuck has been sent to the Mayor of Sheffield, in reply to an invitation to attend a soiree of the Mechanics' Library : " Milton, Oct. 31, 1853. "My dear Sir,— I am sorry to say No to any request as my great object is now to take my of you bu place in rs t heliouse of Commons s next year, I rigidly ob serve every rule of conduct precribed to me by which my a ppearance at the Cutler's feast. proscribed ; lam told I shall he able to obtain my wish.

B u t and the private interests that thrive upon division in the way of all improvement ; and it would seem that to some minds ignorance of everything appears better a creed diff • ern-Igfrom their own. Those people seem to forget that morality among the various sects of England is the same, and that a man may be honest and a good citizen, no matter to what sect he belongs. But the fact is, that it is not religious belief that stands in our way so much as human pride. What is feared is the top of power, not error in belief. But, whatever may be the cause of I opposition, the opposition itself to all attempts at legisla tive aid in support of education is at the present time so formidable as really to be a complete obstruction. In this state of things I look upon mechanics' institutions as neutral ground, and one of our chief means of educating the people. By this means the people will, I hope, be able to do for themselves what the State ought to do for them, and they, therefore, have my wannest support. Again I say, would that could be with you ; but my I first duty is to be again, if possible, in Parliament—to 1 that I make everything yield ; and I therefore most re luctantly deny myself the pleasure of being at your soirée.
