proceed from coe's Neighbours and friends, who sot only
watch one's public life, but also know MS pereenally is
one's private relations. (Cheers.) As a herpes, sad an
old barges—(cheer)—claimiag seniority in that capacity
over, I believe, Liman all those I have saw the beam
of meeting—(renewed cheers, sad cries of "All, all'')—es •
burgess of Southampton, therefore, I feel doubly gratified at
the cordial reception I have been honoured with this day by
the tows of Southampton. (Heir.) The occasion, indeed,
is one of deep interest. Those who have watched the peo-
ple' of this thriving and prosperous town mind have seen
bow rapidly its pep/Mies, its commerce, it. wealth, its is-
dustry, sad in kkelligeom, have of late years 'screamed ;
but hitherto it hes not pmesseed any of those public insti-
tutions upon • lugs scale which have grown up in other
centres of industry, of manufactures, and of commerce. I
trust that thebequest of which we are to-day commemorating
the foundation, will place the town of Southamptoo on • par
with the other pest communities of the country, and upon
• level with its public condition, and with the individual
and intellectual cultivation which prevails among its inha-
bitants. (Hear.) Oentlemen, we have laid the foundation,
and all things wen have a beginning ; bat se I mid this
morning, I am convinced that the foundation we have Lid
will be the foundation of • fax peater structure than that
you have contemplated in your proceedings today. When
it is found that we have these institutions, these means of
instruction, and them opportunities of reciprocal intellec-
tual intercourse, not only your own citizens, but others
who take an interest in your welfare, will, no doubt, year
after year, add to those mesas which, however they may
be sufficient for immediate purposes, will, I sin persuaded
and I hope, be inadequate to provide for the future in-
telligenoe of the town. (Hear.) As • Hampshire man,
es
• burgess of Southampton, I will venture to make a
friendly criticises on a paisage which is to be found
us the letter of that most distinguished, learned, sad mien-
tile man, Dr. Playfair. He gives you a great deal of good
advice, which he is most competent to give, but in dieing
with the question of an observatory, he dimmed.' you from
tweeting • scientific observatory, because he says ft will be
newly useless, on account of the cloudiness of the atmos-
phere. (Laughter.) Now, rattily gentlemen, when we re.
collect that Dr. Mayfair irritate= Kensington—(laughter)
—within the vileprithem mhos= el geld Whisk are con-
stantly floating esker the metropolis d the essintry, sad
where, if there be elendinsee it is ester to be food, and
when we recollect that does beside him is the observatory of
Dr. South, I am only eecommead thin you should invite
him to pass some days at any period of the year
within your town, to convince him of that
which I apprehend is true, that of all parts of
England there is none which the sun favours more
kindly than this southern pet of Hampshire. (Cheers.)
You have referred to some questions of public policy, and
ezproned opinions which I hope represent the feeling of
the country. (Hear, hear.) You have expensed your
satisfaction at the mouser in which the government of which
I live the honour to bs • member has conducted the public
affairs which we have had to dispose of. (thee•.) The
autumn which has lately passed and the present winter have
produced three events, as remarkable, perhaps, as any
which have ever been crowded in the same space of time,
and in three different quarters of the globe. You, Mr. Mayor,
have adverted to the events which have just taken place in
Asia—l mean the occupation of the Chinese capital by the
allied English and French forces. If any man twenty
years ago had told you that you would have English and
Erma troops in Pohl& be would have been laughed at
as • visionary. (Hoar, hear.) That, however, has
been accomplished, and I trust that the semi*.
plislunent of that event will lead to the establish-
ment of those pens/wet relations of pesos and cam.
merce with China which will be equally advantageous to
Europe sod to the remoter part of Asia. (Hear.) You
have bees pleased to advert to the complete meaner in
whisk the aspodilion was fitted out. The great merit of
that ie dee not only to my right hoe. friend Mr. fi. Herbert,
the aseretnry el !Nate for War, who devoted the whole
energies of his mind and the whole powers of his binned
to prawn everything connected with the advancement and
the welfare el the service, but abate hi Royal Highnenthe

ewe. (Cheers.) You hew been pLatord to advert to the
owlets which are now paring in Italy, and you have mid
Sealy that the morel inflames of England hes not bees
without its effect on those events—(cheen)--end my noble
bind Lord J. Russell, who has been the faithful espousal
of the generous feeling of the country—(renewed cheering)
—nod the able argon of the government of which he
is so distiapialted a member —my noble friend
ha. takes good care that it should be known in every part
of Eogland whet are the wishes and intentions of the
British government, and what are the sympathies and feel-
ings of the British people. (Loud and long continued
cheering.) That which has taken place in Italy is one of
the most remarkable and I think will be in its consequences
one of the most important events recorded in modern
hickey. (Near, hem.) We see a people who for a
keg course of centuries hare been split up and
divided into different small communities, many
of which have for a long cowed, of years been the victims of
miserable, blind, and unenlightened governments--(best,

hoar}—we see them rising with one common sentiment,
determined henceforth to unite ; and I trust that what.
ever the temporary difficulties they may experience ft
will is no long interval of time be converted into an accom-
plished fact. (Cheer.) When we know the great natural
110011reei of that peninsula—when we see the extent of As
seaboard—the number of its excellent harbours—the

natural productions of the soil--end, above all, when we
remember the intelligence of the people, who, notwith-
standing the crushing despotism under which many of them
have so long laboured, but who have, notwithstanding, pro-
duced a great number of men distinguished in every branch
of intellectual improvement-4 say, whee we look to them
things, when we advert to what the Italians have been in
former periods of her history, when Rome was the mistress
of the world and Immune the cradle of reviving intelligent*,
I ray we are *titled in hoping and'believing that Italy is
yet destined to play a great part in the affairs of the world.
