a had no doubt it would produce lasting good to the
t n and surrounding neighbourhood. (Loud cheers.)

W. H. BARROW, M.P., in seconding the resolution,
ca. many persons had imagined that these institutions
would be productive of more evil than good—they were
afraid of encouraging the evil, and therefore were un-
willing to run the risk of promoting the good. That had
not been his own feeling, because ho had always con-
sidered that thn intellectual faculties implanted by a wise
and beneficent Creator in the human mind, and whick
distinguished it from the brute creation, could only have
been implanted there from motives of the greatest kind-
ness to the human race.

The resolution was carried.
Mr. G. E. H. VERNON, M.P., proposed the fourth Ts-
solution, " Thut although the Newark Mechanics' Insti-
station is increasing in prosperity, and has during the
present year offered greater advantages than heretofore,
by the establishment of a general newsroom, and by
becoming united with the Society of Arts Union, yet in
the opinion of this meeting it is the duty of all well-
wishers of the institute to endeavour still further to
extend its usefulness, by providing the meats for gra-
tuitous lectures, museums, exhibitions, and classes."
(Cheers.) Ho considerec', that the reel practical advan-
tage of these institutes was two. fold. First, that they
contained expensive works of reference. He remembered
when gazing upward one glorious summer night at the
firmament studded with star 3 that shone through the
clear atmosphere which floats above the Mediterranean
Sea, how he wished, as he gazed on those orbs of heaven,
that he were better versed in astronomy. So with ,every
man must the wish oftentimes occur that he were pos-
sess( d of knowledge ; and proportionately great must
be the satisfaction when the means of easily acquiring
that knowledge are opened to him. (Cheers.) The se-
cond and chief object was to enable those who coal('
have but few books of their own to obtain them, and
carry them home to read. lie could picture to himself
the family fireside of the arti,an who, instead of seeking
for amusement at the public-hpuse, receive comfort and
instruction from the lips of his child, who, educated at
one of the improved schools which are now rising among
us, had been taught, not only to read correctly, but also
to enunciate agreeably. To such a scene we might apply
the beautiful words of the poet:—
"Such strains have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
"Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the thyme of the poet,
The beauty of thy voice ;
"And the air shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tent like the Arab,
And as silently steal away."

The hon. member then resumed his seat amidst :loud
cheering.

Mr. 'l. F. A. BuRNAnY seconded the resol atior,.
which was carried.

The CHAIRMAN said that a letter had been r,tee'rred
his inaby to
from Lord Robert Clinton, regretting
attend. A similar letter had been received fr jm Lord
Yarborough, and another from Lord Newark, who had
sent a donation of 51. (Cheers.)
Dr. BEEVOR moved a vote of thanks to the , Chairman,
which was seconded by Mr. W. H. HALL, th XI ex-mayor.
The CHAIRMAN having briefly acknowledged the
compliment, the business of the meeting was brought
to a conclusion by a concert.

OPENING OF THE CRYST AL PALACE

ON SUNDAYS.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the clergy belong-
ing to and resident within the archeicaconry of London
was held at Sion College, London• •wall, at two o'clock
" to consider in what manner the, clergy may best ex?.
press their opinion upon the eac,Juragement which will
be given to increased desecration of the Sabbath, if the
Crystal Palace, now erecting Sydenham, shall be
opened as a place of public recreation on the Lord's
day." The meeting was convened by circular, addressed
to the clergy, by the Rev. W. 11. Hale, archdeacon of
London; and the attendance ou the occasion was rather
numerous. Amongst those present were—The Vene-
rable Archdeacon (who occupied the chair) Dr. Croly,
Dr. M'Caul, the Hoyt. Messrs . Haddock, Wicks, Wilson,
(vicar of Islington), Cox (vie ar of St. Helen's) Macken-
zie, Good, Murray, Horne,. C. Marshall, E. Auriol,
Howe, Toogood, Povah (ruiner Canon cf St. Paul's),
Doare, Short, T. B. Murray, tabbies, &c. The proceed-
ings having been opened by prayer,
The ARCHDEACON said that it was right that he should
state that it was not in compliance with any requisition
from any body of the clergy that he had taken upon
himself to call ihe present meeting of the clergy and
archdeaconry of Loudon; but he was well aware, from a
conversation which he had had with ono or two influen-
tial persons among their number, that it would be agree-
able to them to be called together. (Hear, hear.) The
course he thought that they must adopt would be, to ap-
point a committee to draw up borne declaration of their
feelings—(Hear, hear)— but what that declaration should
be, and to whom it should be addressed, were now points
for consideration.

The Rev. Mr. RuDnoca., president of Non 'College,
said he weuld advocate an application from that body
directly to the Houso of Commons, and should certainly
be entirely averse to any application front tbe_Qhd,,,,,y to
the private corporation of sharLholdera of the' Crystal
Paluee.

The Rev. Mr. SHORT would suggest that, on such a
momentous question, the Bishop and clergy of London
should approach the foot of the Throne, and represent
the strong feelings which animated them to their gra-
cious Sovereign.
The Rev. Dr. CROLY said, that after the observations
of the archdeacon and other gentlemen, very little was
left for him or anybody else to say. Ho thought the
first question was, whether they had sufficient grounds
for moving in this matter. It seemed to him that there
could be no question on that point, from the circum-
stance that the Archbishop of Canterbury and two other
bishops had already taken the matter in hand, and acted
upon it. The next point was, as to the persons to whom
they ought to apply. Ho thought it would be rather a
degradation for the clergy of London to appeal to a
joint-stock company ; and as to the House of Commons,
he did not think the affair sufficiently advanced for them
to apply to it; but if the giver of the charter was Lord
Derby, he thought the man who had to give it was the
uegiht that b
mbefore adopting
man to be applied_t,o_,AtuoLrett
The Rev. Dr.
anything else the first step they should take was to agree
to the general principle, that they viewed with horror
and alarm the very idea of opening the door to the na-
tional violation of the t-.,;abhath coy—a measure which
they believed would bring down the wrath and displea-
sure of God on the whole nation. (Hear, hear.) He
should, therefore, move " That this meeting views with
horror and alarm the possibility of the opening of the
Crystal Palace at Sydenhsm, or its grounds, by any
public authority, on the Lord's day, thereby giving a
sanction to the national violation of the divine command,
and calling down upon this nation those judgments de-
nounced in the divine word against those who profane
the Sabbath day."
The Rer. I'. B. MURRAY seconded the motion.
The resolution moved by Dr. M'Caul was then put
and carried ni,auimously.
The ARCHDEACON then read an address which he had
prepared, and which, if they agreed to adopt it, might
be sent by a deputation to Lord Derby.
The Rev. Mr. Cox moved that the address just read,
be adopted substantively by this meeting.
Dr. CROLLY seconded the motion, which was put and
carried nem. con.
A committee, consisting of the Archdeacon, the Rev.
Mr. Ruddock, Dr. Croly, Dr. M'Caul, and the Rev. Mr.
Good, as then appointed for the purpwe of making such
verbal corrections, in the above eddrcss as they might
find necessary prior to its receiviog the signatures of the
clergy of the archdeaconry; after which the aforesaid
committee, with the addition of the Rev. Mr. Cox, are
to Corm a deputation for the purpose of presenting the
document to Lord Derby.
The Rev. T. H. HORNE then moved, and the Rev. S.
WICKS seconded, a vote of thanks to the Archdeacon,
which was uutinitnouslj passed, and the proceedings then
terminated.

THE LATE DUKE OF WELT INGTON —The Man-
chesti+r Town at a meeting Council, '.
held
on Tuesday,
unanimously agreed to the following resolution on the
motion of Mr. Alderman Neild, seconded by Mr. Alder-
men Hopkins : " That this council is deeply impressed
with the sad event which has removed from amongst us
the most illustrious men of his ego and country, and
sympathises in the desire universally felt to uniie in any
manifestation by which the nation has reeolvrd to expr, as
its deep regret for the loss which the country has
sustained, and its gratitude fir the great services
rendered throughout a long and eventful life by his
grace the late Duke of Wellington. That the grief felt
is mitigated only by the reflcotiou that after the toils of
warfare the Delco of Wellington was permitted by an
indulgent Providence to close his long and eventful lib
in the bosom of his country, surrounded by all that a
gracious sovereign and an admiring people could
bestow as the reward of his splendid achievements.
That, in accordance with this resolution, the mayor be
respectfully requested to ascertain in what manner the
sentiments of tl.o community may be expressed in
connexion with the funeral ceremonies of the Jato Duke
0 tWellingtein."
