NATIONAL AN.9IICIATION FOR TILE PRO-
MOTION OP SOCIAL SCIENCE.
_ .

1
The following are the concluding words of Lord
Ermigluun's inaugural speech :—The friends of Social
Science, iodiseoluhly bowel up as it is in peace, must
exult iii vonteinpleting the position of the counter_ ,
and in reflecting that the security of society cannot be
shaken by any politicians' scheme, ur any general's ambition,
or any monarch's caprice- .by the speculations of avarice,
whether in traders or soldier. ; the military genius of one,
or the restless intrigue of another. Against all we are,
heaven be thanked, prepared, for the people of our empire
have shown that they must be not merely sub-
dued, but extirpated, before an invasion of them
can succeed. Would that we had • like consolation in
casting our eye across the Atlantic, and regazding the
conflict which now shakes the greet union of
our kinsmen ! On this most unhappy subject it becomes
us to elestain from whatever might be deemed to indi-
cate an opinion upon the merits of the controversy. But
we should ill represent the friend. of the science we culti-
vate, if we did not breathe an earnest hope for the termi-
nation of • civil war, the real origin of which has been the
diaappoiatment of faction in the thirst for places, and
which, as if to make it more respectable and more amiable,
has assumed as its avowed principle the perpetuation and
extension of slavery, now for the tint time declared to be
gout iu ir,,,,1j, Surely, without offence to either parts-ice
this lamentable mutest, we may breathe a wish that the
least of the war's seas—its heave expense—were bestowed
upon the redemption of the coloured race, upon the ami-
cable removal of the greatest obstruction that exists to
American prosperity, the greatest blot that meta on the
American name. Humbly, hut deeply, may we be thankful
fur the blessings we enjoy under our free and well-poised
' Coestitution, which leaves us towanls othernations without
" hatred and all uncharitableness," and certainly without
eevy ; the blessing of being able to continue our labours
in secure possession of freedom from all tyranny, whether
of one or of the multitude—of individual caprice, so
galling to our pride, or of the more insupportable domi-
nation of the mob, oo omnipresent thet nothing is too high
for it to reach, nothing so humble and obscure as to escape.
' We have been surveying the progress of the put year,
! and have only had time to touch the higher points I. the
outline, leaving of necessity much that is of iniportanee
1 untouched. The past lends encouragement to the fir-
! tore. Let um Oen persevere to the end. But let us not
forget that all our efforts to improve the condition of our
fellow-creatures, soil make them worthy of their destiny, are
as nothing compared with the progress in higher things.
These are the great aim and end et our being. In all our
pursuits, in our whole existence, an instinctive sense attends
us that we are unsatisfied. The want of somewhat permanent
ever haunts us. Whatever exertions we have made, what-
ever ammo had, whatever gratification received, only
makes us feel bow hollow it all is—how much we desire
that which endures. The scenes of early days, which we
revisit, now become dim from time, peopled with the forms
of those whose memory they sadly recall, nukes us long for
the bright scenes that can never fade, and for rejoining
friends to part no more. The preempt doubt, and the struggle,
and the derkness, is for the hour ; the prospect is cheering,
and it is for ever—sodso it is without National Association,
which oonunands our allegiance, and justifies the hopes it
Umpires Undaunted by resistance—undisturbeil by faction
•—uodumayed by real coldness or affected contempt, we
persevere in our course of social labour ; but we lift
our views higher, to scenes far above the dark-
ness of ignorance that shrouds one region, the
mite of doubt that obscure, the storms of passion that Tex
another, and behold the loft' anima shining in the faith and
adoration of ( ;oil. glowing with universal beuevolence to num.
" As some tall cliff " (I gladly pronounce these noble lines in
the laud which gave them birth):
" As some tall cliff, that lifts its awful form,
Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm ;
Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread.
Eternal sunshine settles on its head."
At the close of his address his lordship was, as before
dated, warmly applauded.
His Excellency the Logo LIZUTINANT then rose amidap-
plamisand said—My Lord Brougham, ladies, soil gentlemen—
hays ocarina with the presumptuous intention of pointing
elder postirsylog the varied merits of that full, able, lied
skeletal address- to which we have just had the pleasure sad
playas'e of listening. (Applause.) Its rich copiousness of
topics belongs to the several departments of inquiry now
about to be opened in this present meeting. The eminent
and enlightened men who constitute those sections will bring
to that address all the discriminating attention which its
bipartisan so amply deserves. But about the anther of
that the renowned president of our Social Coupes;
though he himself even me warniof that panegyrics
are Dever popular, yet I must be permitted to say what
shall nevertheless be a very few word,. These words, indeed,
might be many if they endeavoured to follow the hellbent
track of his lengthened career, or to sum up the diversified
list of his powers or the thick amount of his achievement.—
(epplasissl —twill not rekindle the ashes of any ancient contro-
versy, nor tea the risk of awakening the sparks of new nem.
I will not utter even one of those breathing and burning
words which have formed tho bottle-cries of contending
parties, but I will only ask what great cause has triumphed
within the memory of tbe present century which is Dot
associated with the name, the labours, and the triumphs of
Henry Brougham and of Lord Brougham! (Lord applause.)
Without trenching too much upon what is merely personal,
I may mention the delight it has been to me to bring to •
meeting like this, as my honoured guest, the person who
above thirty years ago was my own colleague in the rem-
mutation of what was then by far the largest constituency
in the United Kingdom. (Applause.) Often have I bowl
him, as we mid of the great orator of old, whom he has
been one of the foremost to appreciate and approach,

" Torreutem expleoi modenntem frena theatri ;"

•
and it is indeed now a rare and a refreshing spectacle to see
him, at the period of life which ho has railed, with a
milder end mellower wisdom filling up the large outlines of
his past career, and crowning his life-long work of public
spirit and benevolence. (Applause.) A few more words I
feel to be due to the occasion of our being here assembled ;
and I may. from the circumstance of the post which I now
bare the honour to fill in this country, avail myself of •
somewhat representative capacity in bidding welcome to
the Association for the Promotion of Social Science within
the ancient capital of Ireland. (Applause.) It has been
my lot to serve in the ranks of the association when it
held one of its meetings upon English soil in the greet
town of Liverpool, and I then formed a high estimate
of its capacity of usefulness. Besides the amount of
actual knowledge imputed and of ideas interchanged, the
main advantage derived from the concourse of so much
intelligence and benevolence is the stimulus and guidance
which it arfonls to private effort : and it may well happen
that statesmen awl legislatures may derive some of their
happiest and most pregnant inspirations from the hint*
thrown out and picked up in the quiet but earnestther-
ings of the sections of this association. (Applause.) The
association, ladies and gentlemen, has for two or three suc-
cessive years held its meetings is England and Scotland. It
now opens .his evcoing its beneficient mission •
quirk-witted, an impulsive, and a generous people among I
firmly trust that the results of its being gathered iu Dublin
and in Ireland will be mutually satisfactory and salutary.
I now beg to move--" That this Associstion offers to Lord
Brougham its warm thanks for the eloquent address now
delivered, and for his unwearied suctions in its support^
(Applatusej
The Right Hon. Mr. Justice FITZGIULALD seconded the
motion. . . .

The Duke of WiLLOGTON, who was received with loud
applause, in supporting it. said—l trust Isbell not be deemed
presumptuous if I humbly echo the gratulation' conveyed
to the addresses which you have just beard. Lord Brougham
has remarked that it was just sod proper that this meeting
of the assoeiatiou should beheld in Ireland, for where could
it be more fitly held than in a country where social de-
velopment has been, within a very short period, so rapidly
advanced ! Whatever may he the results of the labours
of the distinguished men who, during the ensuing week,
will take part io the proceedings of the meeting, all who
hear me mast agree that their exertions cutlet but be
attended with the greatest advantage, for they come to-
gether to advance objects which are connected with the in.
tenets of mankind in general, and which are likely to be
*Wilily beneficial to Ireland. I may now allude to Lord
Brougham himself, and express the pleasure with which I
support this motion for anise' log to him the thanks of the
society foe his eloquent address. I think I may sov of him
that, while no subject has been above his philosophy.
nothing human has been beneath his humanity. (Applause.)
It gives me great pleasure to support the motion.
The motion was put by Mr. Hustings, and carried by ac-
clamation.

Lord MuneGrum said—l assure you I feel moat seivii•
tively the great kindneem with which you have received the
proposition of my noble friend the Lord Lieutenant. my
ri4ht honourable and learned friend, and my noble friend
tie duke who supported it. I would also add that I con-
sider that I am deeply indebted to the people of Dublin
for the kind and affectionate reception which they have
given me this evening. (Aplause. )
Lord etRIIIHILL moved a vote of thanks to the Lord
Mayor, who had kindly put that splendid hall at the Ger-
rice of the aseociatioe.

Mr. Recorder Hna., of Birmingham, seconded the motion,

TLe LORD M►ton having briedv acknowledged the com-
pliment, the proceedings terminated.

CHURCH-IATh CONTIDT AT WALTHAMSTOW, —The
annual chnreh-rate easiest which takes place in this suburban
village is going on at the present time. A vestry was held
yesterday morning, when it was proposed to make a church.
rate of 'did. in the pound. The proposition was rejected by
a majority of live votes, and the churchwardens then de-
""mied a poll. The polling will take placo during to.day
(Friday), sod will close at 9 o'clock this evening. It is
satisfsetory to find that while a feeling of apathy on this
question has been displayed in some quarters, the anti-
, church rata party is still alive to the importance of local
opposition.

CHESS.

M. St. Amant, the well-known player, publishes I
the following sketch in the Sport :—" During a late
visit to Loudon, we witnessed, at the City Chess Club,
a very interesting match between M. Kobuk and If
Andersson. The latter gentleman, Professor of Maths-
=the in the University of Breslau, had availed himself
of his yearly vacation to make a trip to London, in order
to try his strength with IL Kolisch, who had become the
terror of chess-players on the banks of the Thames, and
whom the laurels of theadmirable Sforphy atio prevent from
sleeping. These able players, both Germans, began by a skir-
mish of four games, the honours of which were equally divided,
and then, in order to decide a more serious match, the prime for
which (ten guinea.) was subscribed by the members of the
club, they began a series of games, in which he who should
first gain four was to be declared the victor. After various
alternations of loss and gain, as well as drawn games, though
only one game was played each day, beginning at noon pre-
cisely, the score on the let instant showed the following
remit :—Two drawn games, three games won by N. Ko-
Bach, and four by M. Andersen. who was consequently
declared the winner. Though Kolisch was beaten by
losing the last game (which ended by an announced check-
mate in five moves), be is young, and has plenty of time
to take his revenge against the veteran Anderssen, who
this time bravely came to challenge him, and dis-
played great skill, especially in the two concluding games,
which he gained rapidly, having previously appeared some-
what inferior to his antagonist. The games played were
certainly fine ones, though often disparaged by mistakes
unworthy of such able champions, and they also showed a
feeling of mutual apprehension. What particularly pleased
us in this match was an innovation a reel progrom, without
which it is no longer possible to undertake a serious struggle.
This innovation, which we have always advocated in the
Pstamt,de, and still more recently in the Sport, consists in
fixing a MR/6M= of time for the moves ; for it is necessary
that a gains should not he interminable, and that the
conditions should be equal for both parties, whisk they
were not when one of the players was allowed, by inten-
tional slowness, to weary out the patience and faculties of
his antagonist. As long ago se UM (see Palanikk,
t. I. p. 10) we ourselves were authorised to propose to the
English, in the name of Deschapelles (our illustrious and
regretted master), on the occasion of his challenge, to este!).
111111 a measure of time ; the practical means of execu-
tion selected was the hour-glass of old '..aturn, which
we borrowed from the mythological deity to recommend it
' for adoption ur insular neighbours, who take for
their device "TiTime is money." A querter of a century has
elapsed before our idea has prevailed, simple and excellent
as it is. The London Chess Club has now adopted the
emblem of the fabled god, and we found Kolisch and An-
dersen separated by two gigantic elypeedru, or rather sand
each made to measure the space of two hours.
glasses
sand is running through the player is bound to
make 24 moves, which gives au average of five minutes for
each ; but the player is at liberty to give more or less
time to any move he pleases, provided the 24 moves are
made in 120 minutes. We are happy to state that this first
trial was most satisfactory. The two antagonists, though •
little moved at first on account of the sword of Damocles
suspended over their combinations. soon got used to it, and
not the slightest inconvenience was experienced. Seeing
that a great many moves, especially at the opening, may be
played tepidly, as much as half an hour, or even an hour,
may be taken for a decisive move at the dose. In the match
we have just witnessed the shortest game took two hours,
and the longest urea."
