there been so great harmony am:lutist:llEolly as on this ova.
sion. They owed their success to the Mayor, the munici-
pality, the local secretaries, and, above all, to the ladies of
Bath, (Cheers.) His hon. friend the member for Bath had
taken a most active and useful part in the Association. It
wail mainly to Mr Tito that they owed the meeting of the
Association in Bath, having through good and evil report
fought the battle of Bath. (Cheers.) He had established
himself most firmly in the good opinions and affections not
only of his fellow-citizens, but of the whole British Asso-
ciation. They were all particularly obliged to Mr Tile for
giving ouch an admirable finish to the meeting of the ASS°.
ciation. He, therefore begged to give " The Health of Mr
Tite, and long may he remain the honoured member for
Bath. (Loud cheers.) He would only add this, that
although Mr Tite sat as member for the city on his own
well-known principles, he was equally approved and be-
loved by those of the opposite side in politics. (Cheers.)

The toast was drunk .with ell the honour:,.
Mr TITE thanked them from the bottom of his heart for
the manlier in which the toast had been proposed and re-
ceived. It had been well said that self was a subject about
which all men might be voluminous, but very few entertain-
ing, and therefore he should be very brief in his acknow-
ledgments. Lord Bacon, he believed, it was who said that
some would burn down good houses to roast their own eggs
thereat, but that was not his practice either in politics
or science. He never would consent to raise himself at the
expense of other people. (Cheers.) He was infinitely obliged
to them for the very acceptable compliment they had paid
to him, and he now begged to propose " The health of the
worthy Mayor of Bath."
The Mayor of BATH returned thanks in a most effective
speech.
The next proposed "The health of the Foreign
and English visitors—Prof. Kunckoff, M. Heber, and Dr.
Livingstone." (Loud cheers.) The hon, gentleman addressed
the foreign visitors in a French speech, and the toast was
drunk with all the honours.

Mr KtiNCEOEF and Mr HEBER returned thanks.

Dr LIVINGSTONE, who was loudly cheered, said he es•
teemed it a high honour to be called on to return thanks in
the name of the visitors for this toast. Ha had experienced
a great deal of hospitality and kindness in his travels. He
had received hospitality and abundant kindness from the
Dutch; ha had also received a great deal of kindness from
the Portuguese, and some of these tokens he should remem-
-

ber with gratitude as long as he lived, Some Frenchmen
also had shown him the utmost kindness. lie never hap-

pened to meet with a Russian, but he believed if he did he
should receive equal kindness and hospitality. Now, al-
though he felt abundantly thankful to all the representa•
tives of these different n itions, he had a weakness that in-

duced him to prefer the kindness shown by Englishmen.
(Cheers.) A Dutchman, for instance, asked him a great
many questions, such as where he came from, where he
was going,what he was going to do, and when he was going
—(laughter)—if he was married, and if he was not, wby he
was not ? (A laugh.) But the first question put to him by
his countrymen was this, " What will you have ?" (Cheero
and laughter,) That reminded him of the president of this
meeting, who evidently thought of the comforts of the Bri-
tish Association. (Cheers ) He looked on him as the real
typical Englishman, and in the words of one of the songs
that had been sung during the evening he would say,
" That's the man for me." (Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of the Local
Treasurers, Committees, and Secretaries," which was fol-
lowed by " The health of Professor Phillips, the President
Elect," which was drunk with all the honours.
Professor PHILLIPS returned thanks, and invited all
present to come to Birmingham, when he believed the as •
sociation would receive as hearty reception as that they had
received in Bath. (Cheers.)
The last toast was " The health of the Ladies," which
was drunk with all the honours.
Lord MILTON returned thanks.
The meeting then separated.
Mr Harker was toastmaster,
