• The Menillie of LANSDOWN IC. who presided, eeid—Ae you
have dom me the honour of desiring that I shoold tali
the chair oa this oceasios, although the objects of the meet-
iag are sullatiently set forth is the requisition, which has
bees printed and simulated, and is in the bands of nearly all
the gentlemen menu, and which seta them objects forth
pretty folly, severthalses it may be expiated, as I take the
chair, that I should my a few words with regard to what I
consider to be the objects of the meeting. For myself I
may say that at the time of the Great Exhibition I sever
approached it without belay struck with the high order of
merit of the equestrian statue to which this meeting relates.
(Cheer..) I never west there without stopping to admire

it, and when that Exhibition and all its component parts
was gone there still lingered about the place • lively, •
pleasing, and • striking recollection of that moot mighificent
work at art. (Hear, hear) That was my impression, but
that signifies little • but I rtainly did gad, on sobnquent
iatercouise with Meiety, and in communication with indi-
viduals of all degrees, more especially those who might
be considered more competent Judea than myself,
that there existed • singular, I might almost say
• complete unanimity of opinion as to the merits
of that statue. (Chien.) Nevertheless, I really do
believe that them transient sparks of admiration would
bare boon evanescent, and would have subsided, as
all such things so, had it not been fur the industry and acti-
vity of my noble frierd near me (Lord limberton), assisted
as De was by many gentlemen who ere now present, end
through whom aid, if I may use the expression, these sparks
lave been fanned into du d.me that has broken out hero
this day. (Hear.) I therefore teal confident that it will Ili
your earnest desire to proceed to carry that object into
effect. (Cheers.) lam happy to be enabled to say that the
mot dionguisked persons in the country, although unable
to be here present, are not lees c. edially disposed to forward
that which I have no doubt will become • national object
and • national undertaking. Pint and foreman ameng

Ques,whohm been singularly alive to this subject, end the

to give her royal concurrence and support to such steps es
might be deemed expedient to give affect to the objects of
this sneetieg, and peilups you will allow me to *aprons, in
the words written by her M.ijesty's owa immediate com-
mand, the approbation she has condescended to give to this
