Mr. -Brown rose amid 'loud 'applause; After thanking
the company for their reception of him, he:said he felt
bound to take that opportunity of stating that, as soon as
the present Parliament should be •dissolved, it was his
detertninationas time would not wait for him—to make
his bow to them'in respect to the representation of the
county. gg felt that he could not keep the Mato hours
which the dulties.of a representative rendered necessary
in, the House-.of Commons,. and therefore he should-
be obliged: to • _neglect the duties if he were to
continue any longer to hold the office. of their
representative' -He was quite aware that he might be
returned again without opposition, as he had been upon
former occasions (hear, hear, and loud applause) but,
under all the circumstances, he felt bound to make the

announcement he had done He knew it was the practice
at that table, and a very good custom, not to introduce
,politicaLsentiments, yet le could not help.expressing his
great regret that the country seemed at present to be upon
the eve of war, by which, if it should occur, a great deal

let the people of, the continent go to war without having
themselves a finger in the pie. (Hear, hear.) Passing
on to_ancithor subject, the meeting would be glad'to hear
that the Social Science Conference which was lately held in
Liverpool, had spread its influence already over the western
world. He had received letters froin America, begging that
all the documents.published upon that occasion might be
transmitted there. (Hear, hear.) They wanted advice
in America, how. to proceed upon many important
matters—such as the arrangement of towns, the sanitary

condition of the country, and particularly 'that of 1,N7
York. It .was a deep source.of regret that New York,
With so rawly advantages, was still the most unhealthy
city in the States, notwithstanding that Charleston and
New Orleans, and some other southern towns, were almost
periodically visited by fever. lie therefore trusted that
the Social Science Conierence, in Liverpool, would be
productive of equal advantages in the weAcrn world, as
he felt convinced it would be in this country: Mr.
Brown then again expressed his thanks for the honour
which had been paid to him, and resumed his seat amid
