ties. and ma received with the mat enthusiastic cheers. The
moieties which bad bean placed ia his hands was to thiseffut
" That this meeting is of crudes that the (node requisite
for earrylig out this peaceful imbibition should be provided
by the ',Watery subscription of all classes, imunach as all
common will be very materially benefited, and the em-
ployment of the working classes greatly promoted, from the
Medi OCT it will have to bring into more general see the best
productions." The hon. gentleman proceeded to or, that if
there was one thieg is which Englishmen weld pride Mem
'elm., on being able to excel all other countries in Europe
it was in the power they had to catty out great objecs by
volestary associations and voluntary efforts. (Hear.) And
it wee is harmony with %kit characteristic of our country
that he would state his conviction that the pecuniary resources
pensary to carry out the great undertaking in gaieties
should be raised by voluntary contributions. la order to
prove to the people of England that the arratigessats would
be such as to g.ve satisfacko• to all nations, he might observe
that every country would have • particular space assigned to it
is the exhibition ; and he might (unbar state that
every civilised and uncivilised nation which bad already
expressed their desire to support the objem of this under-
taking, bad fumed their own committee with a view to
make a selection of the puticalar articles they proposed to
exhibit, sod limiting themselves to the rpm which would
be allotted to them in the exhibition. In reference to the
impremies which seemed to have pined potted as to the
probability of the London market being ' glutted" with
etenuodiuts from foreign countries. he had it in his power
to tall them a secret --vdt., that there was at this moment a
project is the United States for purchasing the goods in the
exhibition as aeon as the proper time shall Lave expired,
and sending them bodily to America. (Laughter aad
cheers.) Now. if suck a project had originated in any
other counts" than America he might have laughed at it
as chimerical • but kaowiog that the idea had emanated
from people Of large capitel, and that one of the proprietors
of the London and hew York line of packet ships was
amongst those who suggested the speculation, he felt
warranted is saying that such an undertaking would is
all probability lead to the most probtable results. He was
1100T110•111 happy to say that the Intention in America was
to buy the exposition with a view to make use of it epee
precisely the tame grounds which had formed the basis of
the proosallep in this country, the opinion is the Usitml
States being that it would afford the people of their
country as oppertusity of withessiumt productions which
might be well deserving of their imitation and encourage-
ment. A great deal had been said about the conduct of
Priam Albert, in reference to this exposition. Now
he did not wish to flatter anybody. He did sot (me
here for any such purpose, but he could my, with all
truth and sincerity, that baring eat at the setae board
with the Prince, he could speak of Ida acts, not as a prince,
but as a working man—(Ceeen)—and he (Mr. C-hden)
wet quite sure there was no member of the ammission who
had one half the labour that his Royal Highness
bad w the carrying out of this scheme. (Cheers.)
He ventured to say, that whether the Prince
be ea parted, or not, is the grand undertaking he bad pro-
les:ad, tie would have from the present moment until the
'month of May next, as large ea amount of daily labour and
perplexisg toil as any wayless-ma is this kingdom.
(Loud cheers.) He might observe that the Prime, from
his wise abs:tnecce from all parties of the state, had proved
bowel( the only me who could have brought together the
heterogeneous elements which surrounded M mull-board
of the Royal Commiemion. He (Mr. Cobden) in the fulfil-
ment of his duty as one of the coaaisaioners sat at the same
board with Lord Stanley, Sir Robert Peel, and Mr. Oled-
stose—(A voice—" The happy family !")—and it war a
pitmen Whim to think that they all met upon neetrel ground.
(Hsu) (the hon. gentles= am eat down amid loud and
protracted cheering.)
Ms. BEALES isecooded the resolution. which was car-
tied umaiimously.
The following resolutions were then euecemively proposed
sad adopted
" That this meeting views with great satisfaction the oppor-
tunity that will be given for the promotion.' science by a
comparisoa of the merits of thou inventioes which will be
Ibronsht together in the Exhibition of 18.51."
" That this muting espies to us its most etnessous *s-
inless to promote the seems of this great undertaking, and
for that purpose a committee be now formed to aid in the
collection of subscriptions, and to afford every ueieiasee the
royal commissioners may require, and to recommend for op-
poiatment local eommistioners for the borough, sad that the
tollowies gentlemen be constituted a committee to carry out
the objects of this safeties.",
Dim resolutions were then visaed respecting the appoiet-
sent of a treasurer and other Olean, with* views, promote
the object' of the Exhibition throughout the Borough, sad
