After the u:tial loyal and constitutional toasts,
The LORD MAYOR gave " The Health of her Majesty's
Ministers," and regretted that the late debate of the pre-
vious night h.sd deprived Min of the honour of seeing
Lord John Itutacti, who had expressed to him an anxi-
ous desire to be present on this occasion —(Loud cheers.)
It would have been a source of great pleasure to him to
welcome his Lordship to the Mansion-house among such
a distinguished company, whoso reputations were not
confined to this country alone, but were extended over
the whole world.—(Cheers.) The toast was duly ho-
noured.

The LORD MAYOR again rose and said, that honoured
as he was with the presence of such a brilliant company,
he confessed that however he might feel flattered in hav—
ing it in his power to give them a cordial welcome, yet
it was with no small embarrassment ho rose on the pre-
sent eccasii n to give " The health of the Earl of Rosso
and the Royal Society."—(Loud cheers.) But he hoped
their kindness would make allowance for him, and not
attribute his defects to any want of admiration for the
achievements of that society, or of respect for the mem-
bers personally.—(Cheers.) It was the more gratifying
to him, as chief magistrate of the city of London, to
welcome the members of the Royal Society to the Man-
sien-hetutie, because at an early period of the history of
that aocie'y they were closely connected with the city,
and held their first meetings within the bounds. He
was happy they bad since attained to such
a distinguished position in the eyes of the
nation and of the world at large. He would not be
guilty of the bad taste of attempting to particularise
all the distinguished gentlemen who had honoured hint
with their company; but there was one gentleman whose
presence was extremely flattering to him (the Lord
Mayor), and he would take the liberty of mentioning Mr.
'rite—(Cheers)—whose talents had added to the adorn-
ments of the city of London, and whom, at the same
time, he highly respected as a personal friend.—
(Cheers.) tie had had the opportunity, since he was
chief magistrate, of entertaining many personages of
high rank—it had been his privilege to invite members
of the Hoy al Family and other persons highly distin-
guished for their rank and services; but this he must say
that a more distinguished company than the present he
had not hitherto had the honour of welcoming to the
Mansion-house.—(Cheers.) With the toast he wished
to couple the Royal Academy; he sincerely regretted
that the distinguished president of that body, Sir Martin
Archer Shoe, bad not been able to be present; but he
would propose the Earl of Rosse and the H. Society,
and Mr. Jones and the Royal Academy.—(Cheers.)
The Earl of RossE was received with loud cheers. He
begged to be permitted. in the name of the distinguished
body to whom his Lordship had paid such honour, to
express on their behalf the admiration which he Mr one
fdt, and which he knew his friends er.tertained with
nun, for the honour which had been conterred upon
them. After the sr sch of the Lord Mayor, distin-
guished alike for its justness of application and its
kindly anti trit wily teeing, he felt. the more sorry that
come man of higher standing had net rissn to acknow-
ledge the honour. He was sure it would be useless to
say anything to the present company, even if he could
command their attention, in recommendation of the pur-
suit of science tor its own sake. It would be equally
useless in him to say anything of the influence of science
upon practice to the members of that society, which in
formsr days hod produced a Newton. It would be
useless for him to refer them to the records of the
Royal Society's proceedings, or to the records of the
society during the last few years. These w, re truths
which he was sure "no member of the society would
for a moment doubt. But there were others to
whom the facts might nut possibly be known, for they
were all too: apt to forget that speculations, even in the
most abstruse sciences, had for their end apractical bear•
mg—that they led step by step to practical results—
teat it taught mankind to shape the proceedings of na-
ture, which on all sides surrounded them, so as to meet
their wants and wishes. IVhein they were surrounded
with comforts and luxuries they were too apt to forget
that they were indebted to the labours of ingenious phi-
losophers, who hail followed speculation for the pure love
of science, for having brought to light the principles and
powers which were now applied in practice, and which
were acknowledged to be of the greatest practical utility.
As a proof of the bearing of theory upon practice, be
might mention that it was only a few years ago it was
discovered that electricity and magnetism had a myste-
rious connexion. That discovery had been followed up,
and one tit the results was the production of the electric
telegraph, which conveyed their wishes almost with the
vel scity or thought, and which had armed mankind with
a new sense. So, again, when enjoy ing the numberless
advantages which the system of railways conferred upon
the country, they were apt to forget that
those triumths of engineering skill were owing
to the labours of meet who had followed up va-
rious paths of speculation which for a long time appeared
to be altogether inapplicable to practice. In short, so
close was the connextou between science and everything
which the world called useful, practicable, or valuable,
that of late, in the whole range of matiufactutes, there
was not an article we possessed which science had not '
originated and applied to practice.—(Cheers.) A
country, therefore, which was preeminent in manufac-
tures must be pre-eminent in science also. Was it not
necessary that it should be Was it not plain that i:
they would retain their high position in manufactures
they must also preserve their rank in sciietce.—(Cheers.)
in thus glaiteitig at the Importance of ecience
as an age et fur coaverting to cur own use the materials
ef the glose which we inhabit, he was aware that he had
taken the lowest possible ground, and that he had looked
at the subject us a mere utilitarian. He might have
taken higher ground, and advocated the claims of science
fie- its own sake; tut that, as he said before, would have
been perfectly usele.s.s, la cause he was aware there was no
4entii.mati present who was not aware of the importance
science, as fitted to extend the mind of man, to endow
him with gifts of the highest, character, to raise.
elevate, and ennoble his coudition, sod gradually to raise
teem so that be may be able to comprehend the wonders
of creation, to teach him the works of the Creator, which
-vt rywhere surround him, and to show him that in these
works he may find the evidences of design as full, as
oerf,ct, ins as complete in the joints of the minutest
sninialcuire as in the most stupendous works of creation.
i h.ee, hOwever, e. ere points on which he would not
ouch at all, but would content hitusi It with again re-
.urning his cordial thanks for the honour which had lacen
conferred en Ow Reyat Society.--(Cheers )
Mr. JONEi, ke, oer of the Royal Academy, returned
thanks for that body.
The LORD elavea then proposed a toast which he was
sure would be highly acceptable not only in but as
a mark of respect to that branch of the Legislature which
tied produced so many men distinguished in the history
.4 the country. lie prop,sed the Marquis of' West-
minster and the House of I),.ers.—(Loud cheers.)
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER returned thanks.
Tne LORD MAYOR then rug.' to propose the hcalths
of the three distinguished prelates who had honoured
them with their company on that occasion—the
Bishop of London, the Bishop of L'andaff, and the
I.lbhop of Norwich.— (Cheers.) In a company of such
brilliant talents, it added gratification to him that
'hese Right Rev. Prelates were present.—(Cheers.) Of
the labours of the Bishop of London he could speak
with the utmost confi. once, for he had constant
. oßor
trinities of observing his attention to the ecclesiastical
and charitable cencerns of the city, over which he had
thy hr:qour to nreiide; and he could t,e•tr testimony to
the unwearied zeal and devotion of the Rigbt Reverend
Yrela e to toe duties of his (Ace. I was not much
within his province to come personally in contact with
the other Right Revereed Prelates, but they were
honourably known for their eevotiun to their spiritual
euees, a, Well as for their interest in the cause of science.
He begged to propose their good healtlis.—(Cheers.)
The Bishop of LONDON 6atd, in the dame of his Right
