Sir R. Dluacitreox next rose and rid—Mr. President and
Gentlemen , In the various stations I hare held in the Bri-
tish Association, from its foundation to the present day, I
never yet had to perform so agreeable a duty as that which
is now assigned to me, of calling on you to return our
thanks to the men of science of other countries who have
honoured this Oxford meeting with their presence ; for on
no former occasion have we seen among us so many
representatives from various parts of the world, and
so many distinguished leaders in science, who have
willingly participated in our labours. To attempt to analyse,
at this, our parting hour, the various merits even of the
moot eminent of these individuals would be a task difficult
for any one—on my part, a hopeless effort. But whilst I
shrink from such an effort, I may be permitted to glance
rapidly over the long array of upwards of 50 names of them
distinguished strangers, and to make a few passing allusions.
And first, as to America: let us rejoice that cultivators of
science from New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Has.
sachumets, and other states of the Union, have been headed
on this occasion by Mr. Bancroft. Let me remind you,
gentlemen, that this is the third time we have been
honoured by the presence of representatives of the United
States, and that the last who so honoured us was
that eminent scholar, Mr. Everett, who now worthily pre-
sides over the Cambridge University of New England. On
this occasion we have had among us the accomplished indi-
vidual who unites in his own person the historian and repre-
sentative of his countrymen, and who specially love. to dwell
upon the deeds of their ancestors, our common fathers.
Turning to Europe, I will commence with the far north-
east, and, traversing the kingdoms of the continent from
north to south, will terminate with the country nearest to
ourselves. Front Russia, we have, indeed, a host in the
person of the renowned and veteran astronomer S•ruve, who,
gaining fresh laurels in each succeeding year, under the
auspices of an emperor whose munificence towards miener
is acknowledged by all, has completed an observa-
tory at Pultawa, which is justly the admiration of Europe.
It to not for a mere geologist like myself to attempt to praise—
for my praise would be valuelt se—the important discoveries
in sidereal astronomy of such a man as Struve"; but when
I know that through his indefatigable labours and clear
methods the greatest extent of triangulation in Ehoe
e 36,
been effected, already extending over upwards of 197 al
latitude, even I, a mere man of the earth, can a
such results; and, above all, what I do admire in sore e
man is, the love and devotion he has shown at this meedag 1
for the memory of his first instructor, Sir W. Herschel, in 1
urging the British Association, with that warmth et
heart and energy of purpose which so characrairiee
him, to honour the memory of that illustrious rut
by collecting together his various scattered offeffinbe
in one great work, thus doing due honour to the petted ti
our Bntish astronomers and ensuring from British met alf
science their grateful thanks to Struve. From Sweden srek
have received among us Professor Nilsson, of Lund, and one'
next volume will testify how much he has served our caws;
in working out the difficult subject of the tribes, or rates of
man, who have successively inhabited Scandinavia, and hap
proved to us how that continent has undergone depression
and elevation from remote periods to the present time, wrist
Professor Langberg, of Christiania, has, in his second visit,
testified, by an excellent memoir on the application of math. '
matics to thermal phenomena, the warm interest he takes
in the pursuits to which he is so efficient a contributor.
And, gentlemen, whilst I mention Professor Georgii M.
Svedbom, M. Esmark, and other Swedes and Norwegians
who are present, let me here include in the list of foreigners
to whom we are indebted, if not by his presence, yet surely
by his works, the heir to the throne of Sweden and Norway,
hi Royal Highness Karl Lndvig, the Crown Prince, who
can boast of a sire who has not only laboured hard and suc-
cessfully for the benefit of his people, but who has published
works on education and the reform of the criminal law
which do equal credit to his head and heart. The first
efforts of the eldest son. of such a father are the beautiful
maps developing the natural productions of Sweden, entirely
executed by his royal Matures, and which have been
so well explained by Count A. Rosen. Whilst our
great scientific infantry of the last year was Oer-
sted, of Copenhagen, I may onnounce, that if that
great philosopher cannot be among us, because he is now
preparing the meeting of the Scandinavian men of science,
about to be held at Copenhagen, he has sent to us good re-
cruits in his young disciples, M. Puggaard and Dr. Shaw.
Holland has furnished us a strong column in the persons of
that distinguished naturalist and comparative anatomist,
whose works have been so justly appreciated, Dr. Vaa der
Hoeven, end in the prote•sors of ' botany and chemistry, De
Vry and Groshans, of Rotterdam; whilst the celebrated
chemist, Professor Molder, has contributed a memoir to our
second section. Of Petunia, must I not my, that her
enlightened monarch, ever forward in advancing knowledge,
is here represented by the profound scholar Bowen, who
has given fresh proofs to w at this meeting of how the
early history of man and the science of ethnology can be en-
riched by hi. pen; and have we not here, from this same
Prussia (the country of Humboldt, Von Buck, Karl Ritter,
and from which we have derived our own Schonaburgh), the
philosopher who has revealed to, and described to us, mil-
lions of created beings hitherto unknown, through the
powers of the microscope ? And let me say that if our
illustrious forciga momenta Ehrenberg was gratified when
we geologists gave to him the Wollaston medal, and whale M.
oration war offered to him when he first attended th• British
Association at Newcastle-upon-Tyne--let me my that his true
glory was best seen when he was surrounded last night in
the boantifel Radcliffe Library by the profusion of
those mieroecopes with which our countrymen are mdse.
vowing to imitate his bright example. I cannot traverse
southwards from Germany, in which the names of visitors
from Austria, Bavaria, as well as from smaller state., might
be enumerated, without saying that Switzerland has fur-
bished a good contingent of a young guard who are destined
to replace our old troops, among whom are Dr. Sabine of
Assess, with Professor Mmaire, Dr. Plantamonr, and M.
Gautier of Geneva. As soon, however, as I pass the Alpe,
and notice the names of Comm° end Oorini, it is with true
delight that I see Italy represented by my old and valued
friend, Charles Buonaparta, Prince of Canino, who, from his
earliest youth, has devoted his fortune, his brilliant talents,
and hi. untiring energies, Lathe cultivation of natural &Aim*.
The solid zoological works he has produced on the ornitho-
logy of America, and on the fauna of Italy, are indeed •
noble mo ument, which he has reared for himself, and which
will render his name imperishable ; and let us' who heard
him speak, on Monday evening, at the festive board, when
he propesed the health of our president, never forget the
sublime sentiment& which fell from the lips of the nephew of
the great Napoleon on the supremacy of intellectual and
scientific pursuits over all the glories of war. Lastly, gen-
tlemen, let us turn to oar nearest neighbours, the French,
and see how nobly they have responded to our call, end how
they have honoured us by sending hither their countrymen,
from Paris, Bordeaux, and Moiatpellier, with each men as
Milne Edwards and Ls Verner at their head. Them
two eminent members of the French Academy of Sciences,
the one well known for researches in physiology, which have
placed him at the very summit of his science, the other for
the grandest astronomical discovery of our epoch, need no
eulogy of mine ; and your thanks to them are, I know, most
warm and sincere for their lively participation in our labours
on this occasion. And here it is my duty to state, that these
two eminent members of the French Institute, Le Terrier
and Milne Edwards, come hither net simply as individuals to
greet us, but also as deputies from the University of
Paris, and its grand master, M. Salyandy, the Minister of
Public Instruction, thus to testify in the most public
manner the respect of that great and ancient seat of learning 1
for the cultivators of science In Britain, and specially so now
that they hold their meeting within the walls of the ester
university of Oxford. It has, gentlemen, lam sure, pretti-
fied you to see the cordial manner in which the Le Terrier
Of France has co-operated with the Adams of England, and

nearly all they knew of the motion of the bodies eisapeelsg

the observations of British astronomers. (Hear.) Perhaps,
during the last fifty years, in no country had astronomy been
so much promoted as in Russia. By command of the Em-
peror, stations were azpointed for taking obaervatioea, and
these were provided with instruments of the most reset
tioraret. He had the honour of being at the head of the
of these stations, the astronomical establishment at

would ggive him more pleasure than' the knowledge that he

Oxfordism (Cheers )
Sir H. 311016111110 N must be allowed to supply an omission
into whisk- be band he had fallen. He found he had (or-
CuPiel ids enumeration of the countries from which they
egessentatives at this meeting, to refer to Denmark.
•Bo User now to extend the expression of the thanks of
the nosatiog to those gentlemen of Denmark who had
hentlesied association with their presence. (Hear, hear.)
• M. La 'nazism then speaking in the French
expressed hlo Aria to the amsciation and the university or
the kindness they had exhibited towards him. He felt the
honour done to him was an honour done to his country, and
on the part of the French nation he thanked them. This
meeting of the British Association at Oxford, and the hospi-
tality he. had there received, would always be present in his
mind, and the pleasure and insbuotion he had derived from
the scientific men with whom he had then been associated
would be lasting. (Hear, hear.)
The Marquis of Nonneamerox then moved that the
thanks of the meeting be given to the Vice-Chancellor, and
other authorities of the university, and to the local treasurer
and secretaries for their hospitality and admirable arrange-
ments ; to the mayor of Oxford for the use of the Town-hall,
and to the trustees of the Radcliffe library and the curator for
the nee of the library for the evening meetings. The meeting
at Oxford must always be remembered with gratitude ; but, if
they were grateful for their reception on this occasion, they
should be much more so for that which they had received in
the same place some years ago. (Hear.) Upon that first re-
ception, the existence almost of the association depended.
Oxford then, without thinking that, if the association didnot
succeed, some of the odium of failure would attach to those
who had encouraged it, received and cherished it while a
tender plaint, and now it returned to her a full-grown use.
He differed with the president in thinking that philosophy
and religion were separate studies. He thought philosophy.
ersediseply and intimately connected with religion. He had
aeon heard higher philosophy than in the sermon preached
by the Bishop of Oxford on Suncity, in which they were
told that a religious spirit was that which was best calcu-
lated to foster high philosophy, and that without it true
yellesophy could not exist.
The Prince of Canino seconded the resolution, and
observed that his insufficiency to address them must, in this
ease, yield to his gratitude. He, as a foreigner, had to
thank them, not only for that kindness and peculiar British
hospitality which makes the Englishman's home the borne
of his guest, but he bad to thank them for the mass of isa
(ormatie. he had be.. collecting at tais festival of science,
and in that teemed intelleatual life. (Hear, hear.)

mor.da, Ibs IfisoZbencelier, and the Principal of Oriel,

meets n& ellft then, on the motion of Sir T. D. Acland,

haying been duly acknowledged, the meeting adjourned till
the 9th of August, 1848.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Juin 29.
A struggle has been going on between the chief
commissioners and relief committees, and between the
latter and the claimants for relief, as to the expedi-
ency of issuing food in a raw or prepared state, as well
as, in the latter case, of having the food, to be used as
rations, whether in the shape of meal, flour, rice, or
biscuits, thoroughly steeped. The order of the com-
missioners, resisted in various districts, has been con-
firmed by the Lords of the Treasury, and the inspectors
are required to have the order carried into effect with-
out a single exception. If the local committees should
not comply, the advances from the Treasury will be
stopped, "That," says the secretary, " beiag the
only remedy."
The statistical returns of the Dublin metropolitan
police exhibit the social state of the capital up to the
let of January last. From these, it appears that the
total number taken into custody for the year 1846,
was 38,226, the proportion of males to females being
as 21.6 to 16.6. The crimes varied from murder,
which was confined to a single case, to drunkenness,
for which were committed 7,354 males, and 5,813
females. Of these, 1,068 males and 716 females were
for trial. The greatest number of committals was
between the ages of 15 and 20. In respect of edu-
cation, 7,183 males, and 10,720 females, could neither
read nor write ; read only, or read and write imper-
fectly, 12,542 males, 5,812 females; read and write
well, 1,658 males, 78 females; of superior education,
238 males, females none. Of the number tried sod
convicted—namely, 1,068 males and 716 females-304
males, 265 females, could neither read nor write ;
282 males, 141 females, read or write imperfectly;
21 males, 2 females, read and write well; of superior
education, 5 males. Compared with 1645, there was
a diminution of 2,453 in the numbers taken into cus-
tody, of 48 in the number of acquittal, ; and in the
convictions as increase of 292. Cases in which pro-
perty ties lost, 14,469 ; amount recovered, 3,792 ;
oohed ham, 10,677 ; compared with 1845, a clam-see
414466 eases. Proportions of recovery to loss, 26
gger amt. ; of recovery to total number of losses, 32
per sent. Number reported more than once for fe-
lony, 328 ; of these, 10 have been reported more than
five times ; 3 under 15 years of age, 4 under 25, and
3 under 30. Total reporte against carmen, Bc., 3,272;
of whom, 1,881 were convicted, 1,391 dismissed.
There were 699 complaints against public-houses, of
which 430 were convictions, and 269 dismissals ; 116
against grocers: 56 convictions, 59 dismiseals ; 7
against tavern-keepers: 4 convictions, 3 dismissals.
Number of gambling-houses, 128, of which 26 are
superior, 103 inferior; 14 billiards, 51 cards; other
games, 63. There are 7 houses in which gaming is ex-
clusively carried oei ; other places, such as cigar divans,
121, of which 18 are frequented by imperior, and
109 by inferior persons. There is no hazard hell.
In this latter class there has been an increase of 4,
and a decrease of 7 in the year. 14 suicides, all
males ; acts prevented by police, 29 ; by others, 18.
Common mode of self-destruction, drowning. 12
infanticides, of which 9 were from wilful neglect.
Number of deserted children, 160. Of deaths, with
inquests, 224 males, 112 females ; 20 from drunken-
ness. Fires, 29; property lost, 9,7344 ; saved under
roof, 17,6061. ; lives lost, 3. Number of mendicants
seen in Dublin at S and 9 o'clock P.M., on the 27th
of March last :—Men, 743 ; women, 1,588 ; children,
1,323; total, 3,654. At same hours on the 3rd of
; April:—Men, 899; women, 2,023; children, 1,822;

total, 4,743: increase on week, 1,078. The execution
at the Fever Act since these dates has cleared the
streets, and rendered the police labours in this respect
more light.

Tiita lamp Corwcia...-This body had a meeting to-day—
the last until alter the beet madam. The High Sheriff of
the Clesea's emeatt emoted lb_eibedr. A motion tor • nib-

Siund esiess Mr.Webber,bowever,enuasiated one propo-
si:ien which deerreee to he remembered ; it was this,that
evs. r should be done for the Irish fisheries /MIS be done, not
through bounties or protections, but through the organisa-
tion r,f private capitalists. Mr. Chetwetho supported the
ocenstetee, u a means of pediseing an Irish navy, and turn-
leg the tide of American and British emaammte to Ireland,
as the groat and the beet mob et intintenlmunication be-
tween'Enetnd and Aameita. • Mr. Merell proposed a com-
mittee upon poor laws. His view et the 'abject appears to
be briefly Rae : In the county of Dorset, the meaty of Eng-
land possessing the moat dense population, the proportion of
population there to rating was one man to every 41. Ss. of
rating. In one- fourth part of Ireland the population
was two millions, end the rating in that part of
Ireland we. 1,901,0001. only. Mr. Monsen cos.
tended, therefore, t'et some means most be provided
either of =tenoning or removing the population in that
one-fourth of Ireland to as to bring it, at all events, to the
same proportion as the agricultural labour of Donwtehire
before they should rest satisfied. Mr. tdonsell real a good
deal of statistics to the same effect, and then proposed his
committee. Mr. Wilson seconded the motion condemning
the employment of the people under the Labour-rate Aot, and
stating, in which the gentlemen present expressed con-
sul:rent* in the usual manner, that while the landholders
paid the levies for reproductive works, they should by every
legal means oppose the repayment of the money expended
spa reade.--[The meeting had not concluded at poet hour.]
Ora: Bt.scrioir.—This election opened on Monday. Mr.
Freeman, of Castleoor, proposed Mr. Lender. He de-
nounced the late government for it. abandonment of the
landlords ; he denounced the present, and promised that
Mr. Leader would oppose this government ; he would also
7:M repeal. Mr. Townsend seconded the nomination of
ader.
Mr. Luke J. Thea, J.P., proposed Dr. Power
se a repealer end a supporter of tenant-right. The Rev.
Mr.. Doheny, P.P., Dunmanway, seconded the nomi-
nation. Mr. Leader came forward, and said the
landlords asked, through him, the support of the
people. In political principles there was little diffe-
rence between him and Dr. Power—the latter began
with repeal, he (Mr. Leader) looked on it as at best
a measure to be tried after all others. He attributed
all the poverty of the country to repealer, not looking for
poetical measures. He professed himself favourable to emi-
gration, and to a settlement between landlord and tenant on
a basis of 19 years lessee- (This latter sentiment was loudly
groaned.) Dr. Power then came forward. The doctor of
course enforced the necessity of repeal, attributing all the
evils of the country to Mien legislation. He was for the
Ulster acceptation of tenant-right—for leases of three lien
and 31 years at least, end with a right to tenant compense-
sation at the end of it. The Sheriff having called fora show
of hands, pronounced it in favour of Dr. Power. A poll was
demanded on behalf of Mr. Leader, which being granted, ;he
court adjourned. Mr. Smith O'Brien was present, as &voter
of Cork, to support Dr. Power.
