His &ova fluntuus replied as follows :—lly lords and
gratlemen,—l thank you very risen* for your addition
It is with more than ordinary pleasure that I have accepted
your kind invitation to take part in the esremony which is
this day to mirk the Ant step towards the establishment of
_ . .

an institatkm, hem whisk I join with its warmest our
porters la looking foe the most advantageous molts. I
oanaot, indeed, doubt fort a momeat that the expectations of
those who believe that the "value sad dignity of halm
labour will receive a manifold biallaso, when guided by the
light of scientific knowledge," will be amply realised. And
it is most gratifying to me to hem the expression of your
Opinion that the desire for the "helmet and moss Goa-
ploiseusive study of the priagiples by which the exercise
el man's productive powers is sontrolied," from which
pa anticipate sulk advantage, has hose stimulated by
Ss Great Exhibition of 1851, to my coonexion with which
yes have been pleased to aikido ia such flattering terms.
I cannot forest that the ezample of sack industrial inhibi-
lions bad been already set by this tows, and with the best
results; or that, to the 'aperient* so acquired, the executive
committee of the greater undertaking of 1851 wore mush
indebted is carrying that work to • sweeissehal issue. As
Birmingham was thus foremost in giving &poetical stimulus
to the works of art tad industry, so she is now one of the
first in the field to encourage a scientific study of the prin-
ciples on which those works depend for manse. I tweet
with you, and oosildently believe, that the "moral as weal
as the materiel welfare of this great oosnassaity ' will be
advanced by the unless, for 'details objects, of men of sal
classes, and of all opinions, in such lastitutions se (hit Of
which I am today to have the honour of laying the lust
stone. And most heartily do I join with you in congratu-
lating the country, that not owes sash • war as that in
which we are sow engaged, colculatod as it is to enlist our
warmest sympathies, aad to espy our more immediate
listener, can divert Englishman from the sob!e work of
fostering the arta of peace, sad eadeavouring to give a
wider scope to the blearier of froodons sad eivilisatioa.
The Hon. and Rev. GRANTIILIS Touts then offered up
a suitable prayer, and under the auspices of Myers. Bran-
son and Gayther, thi eminent builders sad railway con-
tractors, the Prince proceeded to lay the stone in the anal
form.
THE LUNCHEON

I do not hesitate to say, that beloved as her Majesty is as
our sovereign, she is so less admired as a wife and mother.
(" Hear, hear," as d load cheers.) I beg to propose Her
Mejesty the Queen." The toast was followed by the
uncial nth's, which was sang with thrilling effect by a
tall choir, aecompanied by the megaifieent organ.
The noble Passiviir, on again risisg, said—My lords and
gentlemen, I feel somewhat embarrassed is proposing the seat
