pose of presenting to the abovenamed gentlemen two gold
medals from the members, as a tribute of acknowledgmeet ci
their tsspecflve services to the public at large by their
and geographical researches.
The meeting was numerously attended by ladies and gen-
tleness.

Sir IL I. Moncznox, having taken the chair, delivered
to the American Kininter a graceful complimentary address,
in the awes of whisk he complimented him on the great
services he had renamed to society at large by his valuable
geological researches and discovertee. The medal which he
was Whorled to present to him was a token of the ap-
preciation, on the part of the society, of those diatingdiatted
servioes.

The CemixAN, amid the cheers of the audience, then
wrested Mr. Dallas with • massive gold medal, endoea
is a handsome morocco ease.

Him Excxxximcv, in acknowledging the compliment,
maid that nothing could be more gratifying to his feelings
than this token of respect for the trifling services he had ren-
dered, bat the gift was doubly gratitying, inasmuch as an
intimation of it would be conveyed to his country, where It
would be received as a proof of the estimation in which
scientific researches were held is England, as well as of the
cordial feeling that existed between both countries. (Cheers.)

to Captain Collinson, as a mark of respect for his indefati-
gable and adventurous exploits in search of "poor Franklin

Mg this medal to Captain Collinson woe, that the latter had
been uneuccemful in that laudable enterprise. Still the so-
ciety was desirous of showing their appreciation of the inv-
oices rendered, and they had authorised ►im to use this
mesas of expremeing ix (Cheers.) The Chairman then
handed the gallant captain a medal similar to that presented
to Kr. Dense. . _ _

ledged the compliment la suitable terms, and the proceedings

THE MEETING AT CAMBRIDGE MOUSZ.-...Esau
DWI' ARID 81111.11101111111T.—Barl Derby writes to the
Tisess:—.' Sly attention has been called to a letter in the
Time of last, fa which, after a week's °Guiders-
des, Lord Shiites writes:—' The prime minister, in the
debate of the 14th, stated that I had attended a political meet-
ing on Sunday at Cambridge House. The motive was so
manifest that I did not interrupt him and contradict his
I 'session. I made no such statement. What I did my is
correctly given by your reporter in the following words :
' I do not know whether he attended it, but I prams
he bed communicated to him the result of that
sesetisg.' Had I made such a statement publl
is his heariog, whatever ' motive' Lord
may be charitable enough to impute to me,Bl6=
hue thought, judging by my own feelings, that, lasted d
leaving it unnoticed for •• week, he would have at once con-
tradicted it in the presence of the assenabitd peers, who must
have beard the precise expressions used. If he were ulti-
mately lad to notice the alleged statement by the anony-
mous writers' to whom he refers, he had at least one oppor-
tunity subsequent to the date of his letter to you on which
he might have done so in my presence in the House of Lords.
To most peers that would appear the more courteous mode of
negn.—l em, sir, your obedient servant, DERBT.—
efs-ussre, May 24."
THE DEANERY OF Yon=.—A Yorkshire citrate
writes to a oontemponry :—" I sus by the more that the
deanery of Yank lase best orairred on the Hon. and Rex,
Aegean. Duneombe, brother of Lord Faversham, who, of
wares, is 'opposer of the present government. Now,
this bow and rev. gentleman, soon sixteen years slam was •
parish priest to a small village sear Pickering. Since the
year 1811, I understand, he has retired trom active
duffer And let me ask you, air, is he the most suit-
able man to appoint to stick FE iMpOTIMH.post as the deanery
of York I" I grant you be is AMID 01 :alone, of fate%
end of distinction; bat the question is, does he deserve the
promotion he has obtained in the prime of life ? Has he
• borne the burden and hest of the day ' in one of our large
manufacturing towns; or in • country parish, where work,
active work, way required P To this I can only answer what
I find in the Clow List—that his former living was 9601. •
year (doubtless • good del more in reality), and the popula-
tion of the village is barely 1,000. Surely In these days, ft
is high time that appointments in the church were not
gives merely twangs • person's father or brother or untie to
• supporter of government, or a duke or earl. Such appoint-
meets do an incalculable injury to the church."
