ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING.—(This Day.)

This afternoon a very large meeting assembled at the
London Tavern, at which Lord Brougham presided. His
lordship, in opening his address, said he was there that day,
after sixty years' warfare, to do battle in the cause of the
freedom of the slave. He thanked God that the inhuman
traffic in England was not now called a trade, but a
crime—(cheers)--but, notwithstanding that, Spain, who
had received so large an amount of the British
tax-payers' money for the suppression of slavery, still con-
tinued to foster and encourage it in the island of Cuba.
To that place all the ruined nobles of Spain were succes-
sively appointed governor-generals, in order that they
might reinstate their shattered fortunes. He asked the

meeting whether such a course of proceeding did
not merit their utmost condemnation. And he
trusted the influence of that great assembly before him that
day would tend to bring Spain to a full sense of her obli-
gations. After the noble lord had concluded a very elo-
quent speech, a number of resolutions were adopted by the
meeting, all expressing the utmost detestation of slavery,

Dr. Lushiugton having explained the circumstances under
which the case came before the Court, and stated that he
had advisedly withheld his decision on the admissibility of
the articles in the ease of Dr. Williams until the decision
of the Privy Council in the case of Mr. Heath had been
pronounced. The learned doctor admitted, in both cases,
some of the articles, rejected others, and ordered some of
the remaining to be reformed, with liberty to appeal
against the decision.

THE SOCIETY OF ARTS.

The Society of Arts gave a dinner last night in the cen-
tral dining-room at the Exhibition building, which was one
of unusual eclat. All the Foreign and Colonial Commis-
sioners, and a large number of the distinguished strangers
now visiting the Exhibition were invited, and most of them
were present. Mr. Gladstone took the chair, and among
the most notable of the English guests were Lord Lyttel-
ton, Lord Harris, Vice-Chancellor Wood, the Solicitor-
General, Sir W. Dilke, and others. After the healths of
the Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the Royal Family had
been drunk,
The CIIXIMIAN proposed " Prosperity to the Society of
Arts." After tracing the history of the society from its
foundation, 108 years ago, and pointing out the benefits
which it had conferred on the arts, industry, and commerce
of the country during its career, Mr. Gladstone said that
duly to appreciate its performances we must not look only
at the harvest which was now being gathered, but we must
go back to the day when the seed was sown—perhaps in
wintry weather, and with little encouragement for the
results which were to be obtained. The period in
which the society was formed was of marked stagna-
tion in most things pertaining to art and indus-
try, and we who now contemplate the immense
development which had since taken place, and
who looked with confidence to the future progress which
was to be achieved, ought not to forget what were the
earlier difficulties through which the society had passed.
(Hear, heaf.) Passing from the earlier history of the
society to its present position, Mr. Gladstone next alluded
to the loss which it had sustained in the death of the
Prince Consort, who, as its President, had been so
long and intimately connected with all its transac-
tions. It was within the bosom of this society that the
Prince had happily matured that great and fertile idea,
destined to take its place among the great discoveries of the
present century, of bringing together the members of the
various families of mankind by means of those great ex-
hibitions of the different objects of their arts and industries.
When first the Prince Consort was called on to stand the in
public and explain the object with which the Exhibition of
1851 was undertaken, he said it was to become a point from
whence all future progress was to be measured—a point at
which all past progress could be compared, and to afford
an opportunity to all the nations of the civilised world to
estimate their comparative merits and defects; to discover
what each of them could teach an I what each had to learn,
so as to enable each nation to develope still further its pe-
culiar excellence and to remedy its shortcomings. (Hear,
hear.) That the Exhibition of 1851 had served the
purpose was proved by the magnificent collection now
gathered under that roof. This Exhibition of 1862 shoe, ed
how far the Prince Consort was justified in saying that
the first Exhibition would be a point from which all
future progress would be measured or stimulated, and
it contained within itsufficient evidence of progress to
warrant the conviction not only that an immense advance
had been made by the industry of civilisation in (he limited
period of 11 years, but also that still further advance would
yet be made from the impetus which had been given from
the comparison instituted in 1851. (Hear, hear.) It was not
too much to say that these great International Exhibitions
were established now as institutions not only of this coun-
try but of the civilised world, and with the foundation of
these institutions will be established for all time to come
the illustrious name of the Prince Consort, which on that
ground made sure of its immortality. (Cheers.) But those
who recognised that title to immortality ought to bear in
mind the humble but true and faithful partner of the Prince
Consort's labours. The Society of Arts, over which he pre-
sided, was his partner either in the conception or develop-
ment :of that idea, and it was entitled to the second place
and to no small share of the honour of that great conception.
To have had a share in so great a work, and to have con-
tributed to the gathering together of the gradt
spectacle which some sixty or seventy thousand peoplehad
at
come that day to visit, dispensed with all attempts
laboured eulogium. Another recommendation of the
society was the efforts it had made for the e

from the first moment that he began to work. The right
hal, gentleman concluded, amid loud cheers, by calling
on the company to drink prosperity to a society which
had done so much to promote undertakings which would
teach the nations of the world to know one another, and to
accelerate the arrival of the time when peace would remain
among men, and the arts of strife and discord be no more
learnt.
Sir T. PHILLIPS, the vice-president, returned thanks,
and concluded by proposing " The health of the Foreign
Visitors."
M. MICHEL CHEVALIER, who was very loudly cheered
on rising, returned thanks on behalf of the foreign visitors,
who, he said, had been universally delighted with the wel-
come they had received here, and who had not failed to
learn many valuahlo lessons from what they had seen in
this country.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Health of the Royal
Commissioners of 1862," in returning thanks for which Sir
WEIcTWORTH Danum said that,whatever mistakes the Com-
missioners might have fallen into, they had, at least, pro-
duced an Exhibition with which, after all his experience in
1851, he was confident there had never been anything seen ..
