only three-fourths of the coal owners, hut tilos
many of that respectable hotly, p►ofe.siostally em-
ployed in the management of the odor, from any

tleman 01111 d he gratified by such spnlause, his
taste must Use vitiated itidee I. He concluded by obs
serving, that it had been asserted by so moony 00000 us
writer, that he load taken a pan in the business from
personal hostility to Sir U. Davy. If that weir to
he taken in the must sense, it ivas too contemptible
to merit notice ; but if those gentlemen who had
made a voluntary surrender of their mental freedom,
meant to assert .that any one who chinned the pri-
vilege of openly, independently, but, at the same
times decorously, stating Itis opinion ui any sub-
ject whatever, must he the enemy of Sir H. Davy—
then, though protesting against the monstrous cull.
elusion, he was afraid he must consent to be so con.
sidercarby those enlightened geutiamen fur the rest
of his life.

Mr. ititiN BRANDLING observed, be was sure it
would he quite unnecessary ror him to vor any thinv:
in recommendation of the toast whirh he shoo d
next submit to them, as he wus cottfideut it woo d
meet with their itioxt hemnty approbation. He
should therefore, niihout further preface, propose
to them the lie.itth of the Noble Lord with whose
company they were that day honoured, This %%us
received with the warmest plaudits by the company,
Hod Isis Lordship's health was drunk with three
times three.

Lord STRAVINIORE rose, and returned his thanks
for the honour the company had done him. He had,
lie said, met with few things in life which had
given him more pleasure and satisfaction, than low-
mg been a Member of the Committee appointed at
a meeting held for the purpose of retnunerating the I
humble and ingenious individual near him, for his
valuable discoveries, It was by no means his wish
to detract from the merit and scientific fame of Sir
ff. Davy, or to undervalue the character of the
learned bodies to which lie had appealed, but he tI
must ever regret that an little liberality end can-
dour had been displayed by that individual, in the
discuasion which had lately taken place. This
consideration suggested to him a sentiment which,
with the Chairman's leave, he would propose to the
Meeting—
.' Rivalry iu science wili ~,,, t jealousy, •ind may ever) one
entvicil in useful rcsistuclics reap the benefit of Lis uwu
labuue

This sentiment was received with n burst of ay.
plause, and was drunk in a bumper with three times
three.

The health. of the Secretary •nJ Treasurer to
the Cointuittee (Mr. H.%V. I:noodling mid Mr. Lim-
bed) were nest given ; when these Gentlemen
shindy returned thanks.

The cheerful and convivial spirit displayed by
the Chairtnan, soon infused itself into the com-
pany, and rendered this Meeting. from its c•uni-
mencement till its close, a scene of festivity and good-
humour seldom witnessed.

This festive scene waskept up with great spirit
till a I.►te hour, when Lord Strathmore ruse and
proposed the health of the Chairman, will► the brat
thanks of the company to him fir the able and agree-
tilde manner in which he presided at the ►Mlerung.
Ilia Lordship then retired, and the greater part of
the company followed his example. A imitator
remained with the Chairman, but the Meeting soya
after finally disper►ed.
