valuable gifts and endowments productive for the nathia's
benefit, this country will, with the blessing of Providence,
i. forms one of the extra-
and wise governing counsels, remain a bulwark of laboar's
distinguished progress. The labour of the increasing nun-
hers of the people of this countrordinary, raw materials that emp nyment must be provided
' for, and whether it shall continue to be exerted upon cottoa,
posterity may know, but we cannot, though in our age sad
generationtho may resolve at least to promulgate sound me-
nomical principles, and strive, in providing for the exigen-
cies of our own time, to leave behind us the heir-loom of •
national estate unincumbered with impediments to Industry.
the present and future source of wealth and comfort. It
may be well to advert to the vast extension of trade and
commerce, which may be effected by moral as well as me-
chanical advancement. if the labouring classes of the United
Kingdom were well educated, their superior attainments
would be alike more profitable to the ir employers by increased
skill, ands nearer approximation to per. action ; and to them-
selves, notonly in augmented rewards, but in the knowledge
that would promote their general comfort and each other's
welfare; fur could every worker be well clothed, dwell is
abodes furnished with manufactured products, and all
requisites for rendering the home fireside attractive, there
would arise an universal demand for the results of labour
beyond all precedent. If there be then no higher me-
tire fur removing the lamentable ignorance which per-
vades many of the labouring classes among us, why does
not even the censurable cupidity of the age remove the
stigma ? Upon the importance and necessity of this
country possessing a wellmilucated population, the ad-
mirable remarks of Dr. Lyon Pluyfair in his lecture givea
within these well, in connexion with the Exhibition, de-
serve the highest commendation and most serious attention
of every true patriot and friend of human progress.
In concluding my limited observations upon cotton as an
element of industry, I cannot withhold the expression of
my gratitude to his Royal Highness Prince Albert for bay-
ing become the champion of art, manufactures, and of pro-
gress, and for the interest which be has evinced in this IS
wed as in every other branch of trade and commerce. For
the royal visit with which our beloved sovereign, accom-
panied by her enlightened and distinguished consort, re-
cently honoured the nursery and abode of the cotton Ueda
I would record not only my own, but the dutiful thanks d
Lancashire. A warm.hearted and generous people main-
fisted their joy and loyalty for the presence of their
monarch, and also fur that recognition of their labour
which bad previously been almost acknowledged by, and
unknown to, the previous rulers of Great Britain. To
the Society of Arts, for its powerful aid in promoting
the succor of the late Exhibition, the industrial com-
munity of this and of 000ry renni.y is froqrl, indebted.
Another such Exhibition cannot be anticipated or ex-
pected by ourselves, but our successors may gather into •
more splendid palace than we have erected their achieve-
ments of labour, mental and physical, excelling their &there
in every proficiency that can adorn ani improve man's so-
journ here, and contribute to his domestic comfort and the
perfecting of his intellectual powers. To such " a consum-
mation so devout:), to be wished" may the heir apparent
of the British throne direct his future energies, his royal
parents being long spared to minister to the just wants of a
faithful and devoted people ; and may the sons of progress
from every country in an improving world assemble under
his auspices, again to proclaim from the side of another and
more magnificent crystal fountain, who there, in peaceful
array, shall have most promoted the interests of art and
industry and the solid and enduring happiness of the whole
human family.
At the conclusion of the lecture, which was loudly
cheered,
Earl GRANVILLE said he had been requested to propose
a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Bosley, for the very interest-
ing and clear lecture which they had just heard, containing
as it did so much practical knowledge and so much interesting
information, on a subject which was of deep interest to
every Englishman. (Cheers.) Several circumstances com-
bined to render it singularly appropriate that Mr. Bagley
should address the meeting on this subject. There was one
fact which was, perhaps, not generally known, and that
was, that no mooted paid more attention to the moral and
intellectual condition, and physical comforts, of those who
were so happy as to be in hie employment. (Cheers.) Ho
(Earl Granville) could not help looking upon it asone of the
signs of the time', that all the mystery and secrecy that used
formerly to envelope trade when only struggling late
importance, had been latterly diminishing. more and more.
and he believed that now it was in proportion to the intelli-
gence and skill of the manufacturer, they found him more
or less ready, to give score to his works, and information
as to his modes of proceeding. (Cheers.) Another sign at
the times was the meeting then assembled, an aseemblage of
ladies end gentlemen of different classes, engaged in dif-
ferent pursuits, and, probably, representing all the most it
sections of the inhabitants of the metropolis, and
met—be might say so much even in his royal highnem's
presence—under anriesident who bad fixed his name is
history as • most e tinned enommeger of everything that
could add to the tomcomfort and happiness of all classes in that
country which he had adopted as his own. (Loma
cheers.) It was remarkable that such en audience
should be assembled there—and it would not have
assembled a year ago in the city of London, to be in-
structed in matters of 'trade by • man from Manchester.
(Cheers and laughter.) He begged to do justice to so novel
and important an occasion, by proposing as their first vote,
one of hearty thanks to Mr. Bailey.
Mr. J. BARLOW seconded the motion, observing that
the valuable lecture they had just heard was • satisfactory
proof of the wisdom of arraying a *errs of lectures on the
principal contents of the Exhibition. (Cheers.)
The PRESIDENT—In putting this vote of thanks to the
meeting,. allow me to add my own, for the clear and cam-
prebennve manner in which Mr. Bagley has treated his
subject. Mr. lissley has given se many lectures on the
manufacture of cotton, especially one at his own factory,
which I shall always recollect with the greatest pleasure.
and also the wonderful skill, enemy, and arrangement with
which every department in that factory is conducted.
(Lend cheers.)
The vote was then put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. BAZLEY returned thanks.
The PRESIDENT announced that the next teethes
would be delivered by Mr. Bakewell, of Dudley, on the ilk
of April next, on iron and its manufacture.
Mr. M. OIBSON begged, before the meeting separated,
to • vote of their warmest thanks to his Royal High-
acutTritassee Albert, for his attendance that evening sad
he should take that opportunity of expressing in his Royal
Highness's presence the gratitude which all entertained
for the services he had rendered lately, and would continue
to render, to the Society of Arts. They were so familiar
with the fact that the sympathies of his Royal Highness
ware deeply interested in the cause of arta and industry,
that be would not dwell upon it, but would content himself
with proposing their warmest acknowledgments for hlsßoyal
Highness's kindness and condescension in presiding on that
Mr. HOPE seconded the motion, which was carried by
acclamation.
The PRESIDENT—I thank you for your very greed
kindness, and I can Mesh the society that I feel the
greatest pleasure in meeting them in this room, after carry-
ing out successfully that undertaking which had its origin
in this society. (Loud cheers.) I cannot forget that the
Exhibition could not have been carried on without your

Eible that the production of cotton there would have

Tree, however, to the despotism of the East, he
retained the sosffinelve possession of the soil, and his cultiva-
tion of it kegaished. Still the agricultural efforts; to grow
mitten in Amoeba and Egypt have been exceeded by the
*yokel and moshanical efforts of Great Britain and the
world to esteems It. Whether it would not have been wise
economy to the British government to have encouraged the
chiefs of Africa to have employed their negro population in
cultivating the cotton plant, instead of leaving them in the
tempting position of trying to elude the vigilance of an
armed fleet, for the purpose of selliag bodily, and profiting
by it, the labour which might have enriched and tended to
emancipate that unfortunate country, need not be inquired
into; but the fact may be truly and broadly stated, that
Africa has the soil, climate, and physical power to grow
cotton as good and extensively as the United States. The
British West India islands could grow cotton as well
sad as extensively as America. At Port Natal, cotton of
most excellent quality, and to any reasonable extent might
be grown ; and, in Australis, cotton equal to the finest of
the Ike, and almost without limit might be produced.
Bet last, though not least in Importance, in its capabilities
of cotton, is the great colony of the East Indies,
, beyond doubt, cotton is indigenous, and where
fir moo years it has been grown. Both in the East and
West radios a lethargic want of apprehension has been
sentifeeted in reference to the market that this country
boa be estaning to those colonies for almost any extent of
supplies of cotton wool which they could furnish. Indeed,
in the West Indies, the cultivation of cotton has greatly re-
trograded ; for when the mechanical means of spinning
smitten were fully developed, in 1787, the consumption
of all chases of cotton amounted to 20,000,000 pounds
weight, of which 6,000,000 came from the West Indies,
and the other 14,000,000 from the French, Spanish,
Portuguese, and Dutch colonies, and from Smyrna and
Turkey, thus proving that not only did this trade found its
industry upon foreign supplies of its raw material, but that
it has been doomed, in spite of British oolouial advantages,
to remain to the present moment still chiefly so dependent.

drawn by a pair of spirited hones, was coming on
Mit
from the stables in Brook's-mews into Dories-
gun rkelerequare, from some cause they became no-
sunageable, and the driver losing all control over them.
they dashed against a shay window opposite to the
maws., the shutters of which were closed, tearing away
the iron railing in front, and doing considerable
damage. The coachman was thrown by the shock
nom his boa upon the tells of the carnage, to which
he dung, not losing his hold of the rein!. The
home then turned round, starting off again down the street
at a fearful pace, the coachman all the while on the pole in
Imminent danger, yet making the Mosagest efforts to step
them without effect, until a cabman, rushing from a by-
street, succeeded in arresting their prover by hanging to
the hones' heads at great personal risk to himself. The
animals were, to the surprise of all the bystanders, found to
be but ale injured, though the rarriage sustained mash
damage hom having, in its course out of the stables, swami
viol's* avian a post at the corner of the street. Mr.
U n•ier-Sherif Hopwood's carriage, with Miss Hopwood earl
we other ladies, wes sausdieg at the shop door of Mr.
Osmond, ladies' shoemaker, at the time, and the ladies
narrowly escaped fearful iajury, Lord Burghley's carriage
being whirled past with terrible velocity within not many
inches hem them. Fortunately, however, they ezperienesil
no other iseonvenieuee than the alarm they naturally felt,
not only oa their own account, but at the perilous situation
of the driver, who had a meet miraculous escape.
THE POOR LAW BOARD AND THE DIRECTORS OP
Sr. PA.:II:MAR.—At a fully attended meeting of the Vestry
of St. Pancras, Mr. Churchwarden Baker in the chair, Mr.
O. W. F. Cook, the Vestry Clerk, rend the following COM-
: mutilation front Lord Dudley Stuart : "6, Stratford-place,
, March 29, Mk! —Dear Sir,—You will perceive by the
paper'', that Sir John Trollops- , this evening, in answer to a
question I put to him, stated that it was the intention of the
government to introduce, during the present session, a bill
for the continuance of the Poor Law Commission Act. From
subsequent private converiation with the right hon. baronet.
I find that it is to bo a mere continuance bill, without any
alterations oliatever, end I have reason to believe that It
will be continued for one year only. I am, ice., DunLIE
COL:7 Tv SIT ART." Upon the motion of Mr. Brettinghans, it
was Agreed that the communication be entered upon the mi-
nutes. Mr. Wells then gave the following notice of motion:
" That a committee he immediately appointed to watch the
progress of the bill intended to be brought before parlia-
ment, to continue the posies of the poor-law commissioners,
and to collect information for counsel to oppose the rids
for • mandamus intended to be moved for by the poor law
board relative to the dismissal of the late master of the
workhouse." It is understood that the pose-law commie-
son. rs *redetermined to try their power in parishes not in
union k and there appears to be an impreiVon among many
of the inhabitants of such parishes that Um ommalssioasta
have the right to interfere.

With the teachings and advantages afforded by the late

industry must proceed in the onward career of improve-
ment. A stationary position will be impossible ; a retro.
