ANNUAL SOIREE OF THE MENTAL IMPROVE- MENT SOCIETY The members of this useful and interesting society, and their friends, held their annual soiree on Friday even ing last, at the Royal Assembly-rooms, Great George street, on which occasion the chair was taken at a quarter to eight o'clock by the Rev. A. lime, LL.D. Around him on the platform were seated various deputations from societies of the same nature :—Mr. Roberts and Mr. R. Leake, jun., from the Mancheste r Athenaeum, Essay and Discussion Society ; Mr. Harry Rawson, from the chaster Literary and Scientific Society; Mr. Henry Danson and Mr. W. M. Ross, from the Roscoe Club ; Mr. Lafone and Mr. Kurtz, from the Chatham Society . ; Mr. J. A. Picton, Mr. J. D. Finney, Mr. Blenkinsop, Mr. Haylock, Mr. J. Edwards, Mr. Quaile, Mr. E. Edwards, Mr. C. H. Davie, and other_membersof the society. descanting on the benefits which the ment Society was calculated to conf two-fold—literary and benevolent Mental Improve- Its el :jects were The literary objects the so ty at least once a month, and were afterwards preserved under the name of the " The Po r tf o li o " o f th e - and also by means of discussion on various literary, historical and other subjects:Th; pointed out the various benefits which such exe rc is e s as th e soc i e ty _ _ provided were_ calculated to _confer on the members, and referred to the opinion of Bacon, that reading made a full man, conference a ready man, and writing He defended such societies from had often been made on them, asserting that when they were properly conducted, and in a proper spirit, they could not fail of being beneficial. The benevolent objects of the society were, in thy. first 1,.. —c funds of the society (after defraying ) the necessary expenses) to the admission to the evening schools of the Mechanics' Institution, of poor boys whose means were too limited to admit of their paying for them selves ; ,and in the, second place, by the members and their friends • Supporting, by their voluntary contributions, a free evening school, which had been opened by them in Wilde-street (four evenings per week), for the education of the lowest class of poor boys, engaged during the day in various d escriptions of work. .A.permanent teacher was ap pointed, who was assisted every evening that the school wt open, by two or three members of the society, who under took the duty in rotation. He highly eulogised the exec what i _ d lay in their power, and Were besides s e tti ng a n example to other societies, worthy of imitation. He was most happy to find - young men employing themselves in this way ; and the best proof of the benefits of the culture which the society afforded, was to t the members visiting our lanes yq, and rescuing 1, who otherwise were the best means of eliciting truth, why should such subjects not be discussed as admittedly affected the wel fare and'happiness of the human race ? Mr. KURTZ, Honorary-Secretary of the Chatham So ciety, thanked the members of the Mental Improvement Society for their kind invitation ; and, in referring to the progress of opinion, and the general improvement which had taken place during the last few generations, took occasion to defend our grandfathers and grandmothers from the ridicule which Mr. Roberts had thrown on them, asserting, that in their day and generation, their opinions were as good as ours are during our time ; and that our successors might as well, in a future age, ridicule the opinions we now held. Mr. Kurtz concluded an ex cellent address, by wishing the Mental Improvement Society ail success, and by regretting that the members of the Chatham Society had not been able to decide on hav ing such delightful meetings as the present. Mr. EDWARD QUAILE rose to return thanks for the 4onour which had been conferred on the society by the presence of the guests that evening, and also for the good wishes which they had been kind enough to express for its welfare. In a neat and pithy speech Mr. Quaile expressed a hope that the societies whose representatives were around him would also succeed and progress, and that the present would not be• the last occasion on which they would have the pleasure of their company. Mr. Join.; EDWARDS then, in an eccentric and highly amusing speech, moved a vote of thanks to the ladies for their company on the present occasion, and took occasion highly to compliment the fair sex for the happiness which they, conferred on man. On Mr. E. concluding his ad dress; the vote was carried by acclmation. Mr. C. H. DAVIE, honorary secretary of the society, rose as the self constituted representative of the ladies, to return thanks for the honour which had been done theM, for the - eulogistic remarks which Mr. Edwards had In the course of his observations he said that he was certain the ladies felt,.as much as the gentlemen, the benefit which the ragged school of the society was con ferring on poor boys; and why then should not they (the ladies) support a similar school for girls, for whom one was as much wanted as for boys ? To be sure, the ladies might not be expected to take the first step in , such a hut' if one or two active members of the society, ..vprp to canvass them- matter Dr. Hume then vac Mr. Finney. to the call NI ;hair, which was taken by chair Man. He said—Dr. Hume, in the course of his ad mirable address, alluded to his former connexion with this Society, or rathei-,iwith the Discussion Class, out of whose ashes, .this Society, Phoenix-like, arose. He did not however.tell you, what is nevertheless the fact, that to. _ . certainly for baps mainly indebted for its existence, and itch of its prosperity and usefulness ; for iot only did he heartily assist the projectors trangers.to each other) in its formation, but by ti e period—(a rnasnner'*l s•- ierved the utmost decorum, w - • • • ^ calculated to draw out the latent faculties of the most • diffident members,)---he was instrumental in greatly fostering, if not generating, that friendship and cordiality of feeling, which is so es- from vice.those poor neglected creatur wou' connection with the tound in our gaols.—ln allUdinrg to his Mental Improvement Society, he stated a , .. , ~g,..,,,ugw a s small, it had strengthened as it got older; and now he had the satisfaction of seeing it a full grown parent, who had just given birth to a strong and heelthy baby—the Wilde-street Ragged School. (Muili applause.) The worthy chairman then proceeded to give the mem- • uo vue neces sity of their economising their time, and the moral and physical advantages of continual activity. With ACTIVITY and SYSTEM, one man would do more in a - - - - - 1:,..! .• I do in t 3ree or our own. Those over whom he presided.are now scattered about the . in in buying cotton the Valley of the Nile; acterised another in Cultivating he sugar egne.in Jamaica, are pushi :Imes in the '. far West; other •,, • - ,is are , flounsning the distant isl an d of Ceylon ;—and I -am sure, if any one thing is more calculated than another, to excite their regret at being absent froui this brilliant as 'sembly, it will be, that they cannot join in welcoming Dr. Hume once more amongst us, and publicly acknowledg ing his past and present services to the Society. I doubt not Dr. Hume has often. since he left an interest - Torts fe _in our et,. Jr mutual improvement, and I can assure him we have not been unmindful of his own career ; but that whenever he has endenvnnrpd: (in narli- Lion to his ordinary engagements), to deli and elevate his fellow-creatures, we have always sympa thised with his exertions, and in spirit bid him God speed. That he has done so on many occasions, I have only to instance his interesting lectures at, the Colle'giate Insti tution. his researches into the 'geological structure of the neighbouring Peninsula ; his brief, but masterly expose of the fallacies and inaccuracies of that remarkable book, `• The. Vestiges of Creation," his history of the learned societies of the country, his generous aid to intended na tional school-teachers ; and lastly, his most laborious and nohleSt"wmk, the statistics of the Vauxhall district, the publication of which cannot fail to be most beneficial to the community at large. The resolution I have the honor to propose, will be understood then, I trust, not as a mere formal piece of complaisance, but as an emphatic expression of our respect for his varied and never-ceasing efforts for the common good ; and in conclusion, I venture to exjress d hope that be 'will have the, satisfaction of :ht OP inst: adviseC erence ,t those who had little to spend in books, Sholli lay out that little in the purchase of WORKS OF REFER ENCE. This was advantageous not only in a pecuniary' point of view, but also as being a saving in time, which he was then considering. As an example of what one person might do, by dint of activity and system, he stated that an individual whom he knew (he would not state whe ther he was then in the room or not) had, during the past year, taught daily 'for four hours and a half, preached seventy-six sermons; written two octavo volumes, (one of which had been published,) three pamphlets, and two thousand letters ; besides which, he had emblazoned four hundred heraldic shields (a hobby of the person's of whom he was speaking). In .addition to this, he was a member of about fifteen societies, committees, &c., and from the 'meetings of two or three he had never once been absent. His hearers might think that this wan sufficient for one man, even if he continually stayed in the house ' • but so far from this bei ng th e ca s e , th e p erson o f whom he spoke had, during the year, sat at the tables, and accepted the hospitality of his friends upwards of three hun dred times. The rev.gentleman concluded by paying some deserved compliments to the society, whose members he was addressing ; asserted, that if he required assistance in carrying out any philanthrophic object, by visiting our courts and alleys or otherwise, he could not wish for more zealous assistants than a band of the active and enthuii astic young men whom he saw around him.—(Applause.) Mr. JOHN D. FINNEY, one of the vice-presidents of the ••••••-• 11 L 1.11.1, Lll CL.LL-L LLLL" , Zt:eU, 4 - o w n in t ins society, then rose and addressed the meeting.

We might not entertain this opinion in the abstract, but, practically, such would be our answer to the question. In a commercial commu, pity like this, gold was the great inducement to hones industry- but when it was obtained, the man's responsi me greater, and the proper performance of his ship depended on whether or not he had devoted any of his time to mental cultivation. An entire devotion to business warped the judgment and obscured the intel lect. They would recollect the story told in our school book, that when a certain town was threatened with invasion, the sages met to consider the best means of fortifying it. The mason extolled the suitable qualities of oak ; but the currier gravely Eliook hi preferred the hardy s head, and insisted lowing like leather."

He gave some instances, too, of the relief which change of occupation afforded to the overwrought man of business, and scouted the idea that clerks and others ere sure to be spoiled for business, if they had literary pursuits. He appealed to the ladies, as to whether such societies as those with which they were connected were not calculated to make better husbands of the members ? and concluded an excellent and humourous address amidst h ear ty a p p l ause..

In the course of his address, Mr. Rawson mention e d that the society.of which he was a member had not yet got the length of admitting ladies to their meetings ; but whether this was attributa ble to the modesty of the members, or to any other, cause, he could not say. One circumstance he had observed; namely, that they had lost many excellent members of their society by marriage. Now, he did not see why, after marriage, gentlemen shouldcease to attend such so cieties. After paying a deserved compliment to the mem. hers of the Mental Improvement Society for their efforts in the cause of humanity, Mr. Rawson sat down am id st uith of the me m b ers of much pleasure; much applause.

The Foreign Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty ! (Sensation, agitation.) When noble peers stand up in thiS tribune and speak what they think of the Emperor of .Austria, and of Prince de Metternich, [may surely declare my opinion of Lord Palmerston. It is he who, in my eyes, is the executioner of the independence of Switzer land; it'is he who, at the moment of makinff a manifeAtn- Lich have non in, favour ,ot the good right, insisted on a p rev i ous understanding among the Cabinets, and so produced pro crastinations, during which lie pressed on hostilities in Switzerland. And at a later period, when the work of iniquity - Ix-as accomplished, it is he -who declared in the House of Commons that he had nothing to say to the ex cesses which were being committed ' • it is he, in fact, who enveloped by his patronage those who put down indepen dence and justice in Switzerland. I have always been a par tizan of the. English alliance: I have defended it, under many circumstances, against the attacks of its adversaries ; moreover, I am a passionate admirer of that great English nation who first . presented to Europe the model constitu tional government; but these sentiments cannot stifle the expression of my opinions and my judgment on the. pre sent line of policy pursued —a policy everywhere the same. Where is the great man who at this moment represents England in Switzerland going when he.quits Berne ?. To Constantinople —and why To. nromm— - C ,recce, on that young monarchy which is the enfant cldit of Europe, and one of the glorious works of the present day.

There are no Jesuits in G r ee ce . (Laughter.) No, but there is French influence, and he cannot suffer .that,-and if he has opposed justice in Swit zerland, it is because the cause of justice is the cause of of France. (Hear, hear.) We have-also had in our his tory many gloomy days, but never such sad pages. We have had our ; . days of despotism, but it was a glorious despotism. Anarchy has also been, at other, periods, carried iu Europe. at .the point of our bayonets ; but then at least we prpseyved at home peace, order, security, and justice. (Hear, .hear.) It is, not with impunity that England will have followed her po licy. The encouragements given . Anarchy in G r e ece , in Switzerland, will not remain unpunished ; the flames of that conflagration will cross the Channel, and will show England that propriety, justice, and liberty are not the privilege of one nation alone."
