Yesterday's Salisbury Journal contains a report of
various interesting proceedings attending the " triennial
commemoration" of the opening of the Wilton Parochial
Library and Reading room. A public tea party was held
In the National School room, the Right Hon. SIDNEY Haw
sear. M.P., in the Moir. The room was Manfully deem-
rated with flags, evergreens, and pictures, many of the latter
being engravings of scenes end incidents in the Crimea.
In addition to the family and visitors of Mr. Herbert,
surly all the leading families in Wilton and its 'lenity
were present. Considerable:additional interest was exalted
by the presence of the Hon. and Bev. 8. G. Osborne, end
the promised narration by that gentleman of some of his
uperiences in the Rut. Mrs. Bracebridge, the andjelehr el
Miss Nightingale in her labour of benevolent)e k fate
esieemation of the military hospitals, wee also meek, in
gegegaisy with Mrs. Herbert.
The preliminary business of tea•driaking being over,
The Right Boa. 8. EnnosaY, M.P., said he had been
asked by the committee to preside one that saunas, sad
had great pleasure in complying with that request. Three
merinos • mania, wee held to consider the beet seamed
establishing in Wilton a mocha reading room which
might give to all asses the opportuity of getting same
not ealy to books, bet also to those periodieale which were
am suck interest by their accounts of those occurrences
whisk from day to day were taking place aroma us. The
moult of that meeting had been the establishment of the
mein room, which he believed bad been eminently sue-
Mink the members now numbering 80. They had a good
'apply of books, bat:that supply was limited, and it was of
importance to find mesas of increasing the library by ote
Sating fresh works when the old ones had been read. This
might, he was informed, be does by cosseting themselves
with a similar society, and es making en exchange of
waren when the old stook was 'Amsted. It was for them
locognike what were the beet meamires to adopt to make the
Sweang mess most efficient. The reading room was under
the managenseat of a manatee sleeted by the members, in
whose hands it rested to take what measures they should
think expedient to extend the usefulness of the society.
At the same time be would jut throw out a suggestion
bent what bad been doss in similar institutions, and
=
thought the suggestion a good one, they might
bow beet to carry it into effect. The suggestion
wee, whether it might be worth their while to hire books,
by doing which they would obtain • greater variety this
probably was stainable by other means. He had himself
inght some books with him, which he hoped the tau
gable would do him the honour of accepting, as some eon-
eributiou to the stock of the library. (Cheer.) They must
recollect that while the managing staff of the reading room
required but few individuals, if they wanted an increased
supply of books, periodicals, or newspapers, the first thing
was to increase the number of subscribers. The Chanoellor
of the Exchequer of that institution had placed in his hands
a statement of account, and he thought there were not
many Chancellors of the Exchequer to these times who
mold perform such a feat as to produce a budget in which
the expenditure did not exceed the Jerome by more then
thirty shillings. (Cheers) Another subject they would have
to consider was how to obtain the mums of having a series of
lectures at their reading room. He thought whes they
compered the present state of Wilton with its state three
years before, they would see • great improvement in all
things. For instance, the town itself was greatly improved.
He remembered when it was thought a very great effort
of municipal eaerity in Wilton to have • water cart.
(Laughter.) Latterly, however, they had not (rely got the
watercart but they had gas, and were about to have
drainage and other sanitary maths of improving the health
of tht,town. To return to the subject of lectures: he was
informed that by putting themselves in communication
with the Society of Arts they could get lecturers from
London perfectly masters of every subject on which they
VIM selected to lecture, and supplied with extensive 'pp'.
rates for illustrating them. Any of them might take down
• book from the shelves of their library and make himself
muter of its contents, but it they got down a lecturer from
London who was thoroughly muter of the subject on
whisk he lectured, he would give them a modenerd im-
pression of tt. They would neer Me !comic, sad abet vould
give them an interest in the subject upon which it treated,
and would lead them to study and read till they also were
masters of the subject. In considering the suggestiom he
bad jut made, it had occurred to him to write to a gentle-
mile who bad slow taken the liveliest interest in matters
of this kind, and be had asked him to come over and give
them • lecture on the present Occasion on those great events
which during the lost twelve mouths had filled every house-
hold eithtc with the greatest exultation or the deepest
grief. He felt proud of the courage and conduct so nobly
displayed by our army during the war in the Crimes. lie
connoted that he was not one of those who were disposed
to find fault or to depreciate the efforts made by the Eng.
fish suss in the lees siege. He thought, on looking back
upon the history of British war, they would hardly find an
name* is which in so abort a time such emi-
nent and decisive successes had bean gained se
those lately achieved by our army in the Cri•
men. (Cheers.) When did they ever me in so
brief a period such victories as were commemorated
by the names of Alma, Belaklevs, and lakermann—names
which would ever be hoittehold words is Englend
(Cheers.) They bad on the walls of that zoom pictures of
these battles and these great events, and limbed also the por-
trait of a lady whom they an knew—Miss Flerence Night-
joule whose exertions, whim sacrifices, and wham self-
devotion had won for herself an undying name. (Cheer-)
Min Nighttegale was not among them that evening, though
they had among them a friend of hero, who bad shored
with her, and could bear testimony to, the dangers and hor-
rors which, in the discharge of her high minion, she had
goes thrcagh. To that friend he would Wader his thanks
on their 0022111011 behalf, bat yet they might believe him
whet he said that whatever thanks—whatever honour—
whatever reward they might give here were as nothing
compared to the reward hereafter. When he wished
to open that evening's nesting by some observations
from one who had himself visited those menu of
interest, it occurred to him that the Rev. 8. G. Osborne
also went out on a mission of mercy. To Mr. Osborne be
also would teader his thanks for the efforts be heel made ea
behalf of the suffering army. That gentleman had wit-
nessed thou segue of suffering, sad had shared is their
alleviation. He had consented to come over to Wince that
evealag, and be was glad of the opportunity of introducing
him to his friends present. He was sure they would give
Mr. Osborne every attention while be made some observe-
tams es what he had seen. They would listen to him with
the greatest pleasure while he was addressing them on a
subject of so mach interest as those scenes which be had
personally witnessed, and was now about to describe.
(Cheers.)
The Hos. and Rev. 8. G. Osaomes who was reserved
with loud cheers, said be had unexpectedly received • letter
from Mr. Herbert, @shine Aim to come over and give the
people of Wilton a little Crimean Wk. The cely mistake
Mr. Herbert made is that applicatioa was that be had never
bees is the Crimes, sad consequently could not of his owls
experience tell anything about ft. Bat if be bad not
walked in the segues of was himself, he bad withal in the
dark shadow of war—if be bad not witnessed the e
sad the glary of the battle-field, he had seen the wota
arts
and sufferings which succeeded it. Allusion bad been made
to one sot there peasant, Miss Nightingale, but there was
one maw them, Mrs. Bracebridge, who had nobly ear
ported her in her labours. The work they had done, the
toils they had endured, would have bees too much for the
endursues of as Englishman, but they were not too much
for that of Englishwomen. (blears.) Wbea the future
histories shell give in a future readiogrome his memiat of
this campaign, not the least proud passage in it will be that
which tells at ours bow Englishmen fought at 'thermos
and Alma, tad in the fearful fire of the Redan, end hew
Itnelishwomen Ole were found to shrink from ne
work, however appalling, to which duty called them
(Cheers.) To those works they were moved by no
motives of worldly fate, bat by those only of tried Chris-
lien feeling. There were some things in which, when men
failed, wastes could seamed, sad Miss Nightingale sad
Mts. Bracebridge, who supported her, would not be the
least honoured in the binary of that Rashes campaign
To tarn to lighter subjects, he bad brought with him two Of

includicg some English and French business men, three
hearty cheers were given for the fall of Sebastopol. Oa

venation, and many mutual congratulations were embossed.
In the evening the anal resorts of our French citizens,
including Delmonieo's and several other rsetaa►snts, were

the free use of champs. se andother wines, which wee kept
up until a late hour of the eight.
