FEMALE PERSEVERANCE AND GENEROSITY,

India, a country which it must be admitted is still in a state of
unsocial ignorance. It was the remark of one, than whom,
perhaps, a more profound statesman never existed,
that lithe
English' had left India at the time to which he referred, they
would have left behind them few traces of their greatness, but
this could not be said now, for whereas the English name was
now known in India, education was also known, and it was
the avowed merit of The Government who thus were spreading
knowledge throughout the Empire, that no proselytism was at.
tempted. They conveyed knowledge, which was wealth and
power, to the millions under their rule, and left the rest to
follow in the usual course of events. Indeed so convinced 9104
the respectable portion of the native community of this fact,
that many men of wealth and rank among them had come for-
ward, unsolicited, and assisted them in their work, and ha
wished also to include them in the thanks he had just offered
to the Gentlemen present. The Speaker then reverted to the
exertions of the Lottery Committee, and to the paternal feel-
ing of the Government who had devoted such large sums to the
improvement of the City, independent of those arising from
the Lottery. Some of the Members of that Committee were
present, and he begged to return his individual thanks to them
for their able conduct in a very unthankful office, and one of
them in particular who was present (Mr. Ilarington) he re.
marked was peculiarly entitled to the thanks of the community.
Ile then returned his thanks to the fraternity of Masons, for
the manner in which they had always come forward on every
public occasion, and with this concluded."
Mr. Haat .7; GTON in reply remarked, that he did not come
prepared to speak, nor should he have done so now but for the

This concluded the business of the day, and perlieps awn.;
was never witnessed which conveyed a more gratifyiag
arice of perfect union between the European and S l„'l'o.lation of this city. Every house in the neighbourhood was cp•
vend with spectators, and as the procession moved from the
round an universal clapping of hands proclaimed the delie
with which the spectacle had been viewed, and the feeling whten
it created in the minds of those present.

There wax something very gratifying in the burst of llPin

juncture, and its philanthropic scope and tendency,
present might perhaps have calculated on. The Band h
conclusion struck up the national anthem of God save the sing.
The Lodges afterwards commenced their filing oil at the c!igt
corner, thus passing the anointed stone. The junior bodge leean
off, and on the whole having cleared the square, the Bred,riarna
