Several other gentlemen having addressed the meet-
ting, including Mr. Hutchins who delivered an eloquent
speech which was loudly and deservedly cheered.
Mr. JAMES HEYWOOD, M. P., was next called upon, an
on rising, was received with great cheering. He desired, he
said, to add his congratulations to those they had already re-
ceived on the opening of this excellent institution. He then re-
marked that the first thing that struck him on entering the
hall was that it was not unlike the House of Commons but
there was this difference between it and the Houses of Parlia-
ment, that whereas this would not cost more than £5OOO,
and seemed to give general satisfaction, the Houses of Par-
_

liament would'eost'nearly two millions, and yet the n

bers were not satisfied

member then called attention to the fact, that owing to a
knowledge of foreign languages not beinc, generally acquired
by our young men, large numbers of foreign clerks were
now engaged in Manchester, and other large towns. Such
institutions as this showed that there was, on the whole, a
good feeling existing between masters and men in this
country, although that good feelings might be accidentally
broken into, as now, by turn-outs and struggles. When peo-
ple thought over their present disputes quietly, they would
perhaps find out that there had been a little error on both
sides. (Loud applause). Mr. Heywood next remarked
that one reason he came here was, that he wished to see his
friend, Mr. Thicknesse, with whom he deeply sympathised.
The remaining subjects glanced at were, the comparative
amount of education possessed by the Greeks and Turks, and
the bearingthis hadupon the present state ofthe Eastern ques-
tion, and the Manchester Free Library. He also eulogised
the conduct of the Mayor for taking so active a part in the
formation of the Wigan Mechanics' Institution. The hon.
gentleman was repeatedly applauded, and created much mirth
by his remarks.

Several other gentlemen having add
the proceedings terminated.
