The That Lord of the Admiralty attended a
dinner held hers yesterday evening to celebrate the estab-
lishment of the Worcentershire Union of Meehstaics' Insti-
tutes, whisk had been mit on foot a few months ago by his
sat, Mr. J. 8. Pakingtcm. In the course of the after dinner
proceedings,

positions in the particular condition of life for which

Welted this union of institutes would persist in the good
work which they had began. It was a work of great impor-
tance, and one whisk deserved and would receive the grati-
tude of the public. The neoessity for the general extension
of knowledge among the people manor, generally admitted ;
the only question was as to the means. Every reflecting
mind would acknowledge that it could not be the will of God
that am should be allowed to live in looms.* of thin*
past and to come, things human and divine, great and mask
on the earth or in the heavens, or that the noble gifts given
to man ehoold be left uncultivated, any more than it could be
the will of the Almighty that the soil of the earth should
remain barren sad untitled. (Hear, hear.) It was our duty
as citizens, es philanthropista, and as politicians, te promote
education and the general diffusion of knowledge, and no run
would now in this free country discourage the objects which
these institutions bad in view. (Hear.) He himself had
no fear of the result of extending knowledge, and without
pretending just now to expound any whams of political re-
form, be would say that one dour drat duties was to see that
those who had to exercise civil rights were made by education
fit and competent to ellmehrge them. (Hear, hear.) It had
been said that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
He was not afraid of knowledge, but he was afraid of igno-
with its Iseadetrong passions and prejudices, and it
was the r duty as good citizens to extend as far es they could
the spread of imowledge, sad to pat an and to ignorance. hie

Mr. SLAW'S .P., oleo Inpreilled his approval of the
