The LORD MAYOR stated that ho had called the meet-
ing for the purpose of promoting friendly co-operation
in the erection of a suitable memorial of the Great Ex-
hibition of 1851, the principal figure of which should
be a statue of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. He
knew that in so doing he had rendered himself liable
to ,the charge of wishing to arrogate to himself the
honour of being the first person to suggest such a course
of proceeding. Such, however, was not the case; and
he trusted that those persons who might previously have
suggested the propriety of such a step would give their
friendly support towards the accomplishment of the de-
sign. It had been objected that such a proposition
ought not to have been taken up by any individual in
a situation so humble as that which he occupied ; but
the fact was, that the more humble the position, and
the less claim which such a person would have upon
public attention, the more strongly would it prove that
there was something in the proposal itself valuable and
important, when general concurrence was obtained in its
support. Whoever might have originated the idea, he was
only anxious that it should be honourably and nobly car-
ried out. With respect to the proposal itself, it was
probable that there might be some differences of opinion.
It might, and indeed had been said, that his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert already lived in the esteem and affec-
tion of the country at large, and further that the pro-
posed monument was perfectly unnecessary for the pur-
pose of convincing any one of the existence of such a
feeling. Even the magnificent structure now erecting
at Sydenham, and the exhibitions of industry and art
which had been held in Ireland and other countries, the
success of which was mainly to be traced to the Great
Exhibition of 1851, had been considered as affording in
themselves sufficient memorials of the Great Exhibition
and its noble President. With these opinions he did
not concur. (Cheers.) On the contrary, he thought
that if so many examples had already been brought for-
ward testifying to the importance and value of such col-
lections of industrial art as that of the Great Exhibition,
the great event itself ought not to be allowed to pass by
without a memorial that it had once existed among the
people of England. (Cheers.) He thought that the
nation ought to have an opportunity of testifying their
respect and esteem for his Royal Highness in connection
with the Great Exhibition, and this he thought would
hardly be afforded by the erection even of the beautiful
statue of Marochetti. These were .the reasons which
had induced him to take the steps which he had done,
and he only desired that the proposal might meet with
the widest possible success among all classes of his coun-
trymen. (Cheers.)
The Lord Bishop of OXFORD proposed the first resolu-
tion, and in doing so said that he had great pleasure in
proposing the adoption of the resolution. He thought
it was of great importance in the opening of the meet-
ing that they should mark what should be the object of
the meeting, and the resolution did so, and if they wan- ,
dered from the simplicity of this project he could see no
objection to it, but if they wandered from that object,
there would be many defections. Prince Albert had ex-
hibited great virtues, and was justly endeared to the
people ; but it would be premature to erect a memorial
of the Prince in his own lifetime. But when the propo-
sition was on account of the Great Exhibition, he
thought the object appropriate and deserving; for as
events passed on such things might be forgotten, and,
therefore, they should commemorate the great fact of
the Exhibition while yet the memory of it was vivid,
and then there was the fact that the memory of the ob-
ject was in itself deserving. The Great Exhibition had
added a new fact to the character of nations, and had
stimulated the industry which the present day could not
see in its full influence, but which had already exerted a
great influence on the nations of the earth. This great
act was an act which increased the commodities and the
comforts of the whole world, and the way in which it
had been taken up in other quarters was a sufficient
proof of that. And no man could more appropriately
call a meeting like the present than the Lord Mayor of
London, who presided in the highest commercial city in
the world. He was sure they would meet with a re-
sponse from all, if they did not come forward for the
purpose of base adulation, for the Prince would be the
first to §purn such an offering, but for the purpose of
commemorating the great and beneficial influence of the
Great Exhibition. He would conclude by moving the
first resolution :

" 1. That the Great Exhibition of 1851, which com-
prised the products of the industry of all countries, was
an event of the greatest importance to the nations of the
world by enabling them to observe the relative influence
of science, art, and national characteristics upon pro-
duction, by furnishing the means of a valuable review
of the past, and by marking a new starting point for the
future progress of productive industry, and giving it an
increased stimulus."

Captain SHEPHERD seconded the adoption of the reso-
lution, because he thought the Exhibition had conferred
great benefit on this country and the world. It had
been the theme of praise in every quarter, and for two
years it was their disgrace that something had not been
done to commemorate that great event, and they were
obliged to the Lord Mayor for originating this meeting.
He hoped the meeting would meet with that support
which it deserved.
The LORD MAYOR stated that he had received several
hundred letters from different parts of the country ex-
pressing approbation of the object of the meeting ; but
only a few of them would be read.
Letters were then read from Lord Aberdeen and
others offering subscriptions. Lord Aberdeen, Si. ; the
Duke of Norfolk, 1001. ; tho Duke of Sutherland (no
subscription mentioned) ; Duke of Argyle, 301. ; Mar-
quis of Breadalbane, 501. ; Earl Spencer, 501. ; Lord
Ashburton, 501. All the other letters were in support
of the object of the meeting ; most of them inclosing
subscriptions. Letters were received from the Duke of
Bedford, the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Roseberry,
Lord Robert Grosvenor, Lord Campbell, &c.
From these letters we select the following :
" Argyll-house, Oct. 31, 1853.
"My dear Lord Mayor—l ought to have returned an
earlier answer t 3 your letter ; but I now hasten to say
that it would give me much pleasure if my name ap•
peared in the first list of the supporters of your' proposal
as a subscriber of fifty pounds.
" With the best wishes for your success, I have the
honour to be, my dear Lord Mayor, very truly yours,
ABERDEEN."

" Inverary, Oct. 30, 1853.
"My Lord—ln reply to your letter respecting the
proposal to erect a statue to his Royal Highness the
Prince Albert, on the site of the Great Exhibition of
1851, I beg to express my cordial concurrence in this
undertaking, and my desire to contribute thereto. Will
your lordship be kind enough to put down my name for
thirty pounds ?
" I have the honour to be, your lordship's obedient,
&c., " ARGYLL."
The Duke of Norfolk requested that his name might
be put down for 100/. ; the Marquis of Breadalbane,
Earl Spencer, Lord Ashburton, and the Marquis of
Westminster, stated their readiness to subscribe 501.
each. A. letter was also read from a working man, who
begged that his name might be put down as a subscriber
of 1/. is. The total number of subscribers was stated to
be about 600, and the amount of subscriptions nearly
5,000/.

MORE THAN STRANGE, IF TRIJE.—A rumour is cur-
rent in Shields—and there seems some foundation for it
in fact—to this effect :—a foreign seaman was taken ill
of diarrhcea on board of a ship in the Tyne, and to all
appearance died. Before he was taken ill he had sent
his shoes on shore to be repaired, and the cobbler,
having received no information of the man's demise,
after finishing them took them on board of the ship,
when he was informed that his customer was dead. He
