REPRESENTATION OF MAN-
CHESTER.

Mr. Bright has issued the following address to the
electors of the borough of Manchester :
" Gentiemen,—Tile sudden but not unexpected coali-
tion of a small section of the Liberal party with the
Tories has been followed by an attack upon me in the
columns of the Guardian newspaper this morning, which
I feel bound to notice, not so much from any influence
it may have upon the approaching contest, as from a
feeling that the character not of myself only, but of Mr.
Cobden also, is at stake. The charge may be briefly
stated to be, that Mr. Cobden, havieg no intention to
keep in Parliament beyond the last session, had con-
curred in a scheme concocted in the rooms of the League,
that I should be brought forward as a candidate for
Manchester ; that circumstances arose which entirely
changed Mr. Cobden's position and views ; and that I,
from motives of personal ambition, stood in the way
of his accepting the offer of the representation
of the borough, and refused to release him from
an implied engagement to me. The true circum-
stances of the case are these : when it was first
rumoured that Mr. Mark Philips intended to retire,
Mr. Cobden suggested to me the probability of my being
asked to succeed him, declaring that, though his own
name had been often mentioned, he would not, under any
conceivable circumstances, become a candidate himself.
In answer to my objection to his decision, he urged that
gratitude to the people of Stockport, his many pledges
to them, and considerations of his own greater freedom
and leisure to act upon great public questions, if not bur-
dened with the heavy private business inseparable from
the representation of Manchester, all determined him to
remain in his present position. I can honestly say that
I have combatted these views on many occasions, but
without success. During Mr. Cobden's temporary resi-
dence in Wales, just before he left England, I received
a very pressing invitation to stand for the Stirling
burghs. Before giving a reply, I wrote to Mr. Cobden
on the subject of Manchester, intimating my feeling
that circumstances had changed, and re-stating my opi-
nion that he was the most natural representative of the
borough, and urging him, if any change in his views had
taken place, to let me know it privately, as a friend,
and I would then accept the offer of some other con-
stituency willing to accept my services. To this Mr.
Cobden's reply was in exact conformity with his pre-
vious declarations; and afterwards, when I saw him in
London, his statement was most positive and emphatic
to the same effect. I declare solemnly that I have ho-
nestly and repeatedly pressed Mr. Cobden to accept the
seat offered to him, and that it is my firm conviction
that, were Mr. Cobden here, he would be the very
foremost to contradict, in the most explicit manner,
the unfounded charges which the Guardian of this
morning has put forth. I feel now, however, that the
contest, so far as I am concerned, is as nothing com-
pared to its importance to your great and honoured

constituency. You have always beaten th• Tory party,
and, single-handed, they own they cannot fight. A
handful of those who once were in the Liberal ranks
have joined the enemy, and by a coalition, discreditable
to them, it is sought to pervert the honest political
course you have hitherto pursued. The issue is unim-
portant to me personally; public life can yie;d me no-
thing beyond the consciousness of being useful. But to
you it is of much importance. You are not second to
any constituency in the empire, and your adherence to,
or rejection of, your long held principles, will deeply,
affect the character and proceedings of the coming Par-
liament.—l ant, &c.,

" JOHN BRIGHT.

LA J

AHOTTIERE IRON COM-
PANY.
(From the Mining Journal.)

A special general meeting of the shareholders was
held at 22, Throgmorton-street, on Thursday, the 26th
inst., pursuant to advertisement. Benjamin Ifill, Esq., in
the chair.

The advertisement, convening the meeting, and the
minutes of the committee, by virtue of which the same
was summoned, in accordance with the provisions of the
Ace de Societe, having been read, the clause (15) in the
Act, empowering a special general meeting of the share-
holders, holding more than one-half the number of
shares, to increase the capital on such terms as they might
determine, was referred to ; and, it appearing that more
than two-thirds the interest of the company was present,
or represented, the meeting proceeded to the business for
which it had been called.

The CHAIRMAN observed that, it appearing from the
representations made to the committee, under date
the 27th ult., that it would be expedient to
extend its operations by an influx of capital,
by the issue of new shares, or such other modes as
might be determined upon by the shareholders, the com-
mittee had called the present meeting. Mr. Lamie Mur-
ray, who was well informed on the several points of in-
terest and importance in the consideration of the ques-
tion, and who, moreover, had particularly directed his
attention to the subject, would submit to the meeting
the views entertained by the committee ; and, at the same
time, readily afford such explanations, or information, as
to the nature of the company's affairs, and the prospects
it presented, which might be required, and which, he
doubted not, would be deemed highly satisfactory.
Mr. L. MURRAY observed, that certain resolutions
had been drawn up, with the view to their adoption by
the meeting ; and, such having been read, it would af-
ford him pleasure to enter into the subject fully, and to

render to the proprietors present such information as
he possessed.
The resolutions having been accordingly read, Mr. M.
proceeded to observe, that in the establishment of the
company, as in all similar instances, diffilulties
had interposed, which, however, he was happy to
say, had been dispelled ; and that the drawbacks met
with had, on their being overcome, only convinced the
directors that the value of their property was fully
equal to their most sanguine expectations; while they
only required additional capital to develop its resources,
and derive those advantages which were apparent. The
Act by which the company was governed, authorised the
extension of the capital ; and the object of the present
meeting was to determine the amount, and, furthermore,
whether the result would justify such course. He, for
one, had no hesitation in expressing his opinion most
fully in favour of the accession of capital, and observing
the most liberal terms—considering, as he did, after the
outlay already incurred, that a further applicatio❑ of
capital, to the extent of that already expended, would
not only treble the make of iron, but quintuple the pro-
fits ; and hence the advantage of admitting other capi-
talists with them, while each shareholder would have the
option of taking additional shares, and thus increasing
his interest, or otherwise.

IL DuPam' begged to interrupt the speaker for a
moment, to inquire whether the 15th article of the Act
authorised the extension of capital, for the construction
or erection of mills and forges, or was rather confined
to the blast (haut) furnaces. A reference to the Act at
once settled this in favour of the proposition, advanced
by Mr. Murray, of applying the newly-raised capital to
the extension of the works, and the manufacture of bar
or rod-iron, sheet, &c., as might be henceforward deter-
mined upon.
Mr. L. MURiAT, in continuation, observed that the
present capital might be considered as about 500,0001 r.,
or 20,0001. ; while, to effect the desired object, it would
require a further outlay of 20,0001.—thus making the
entire capital of the company 40,000/., or 1,000,000 fr.
This increase, it was proposed by the resolutions sub-
mitted to the meeting, to create by the issue of new or
additional shares, of 1000 fr., 500 fr., and 250 fr.— it be-
ing understood that the power of voting was confined to
the scale laid down in their deed—viz., i shares of 1000
francs, 1 vote ; 20 shares, 2 votes ; and 30 shares.
3 votes : thus, it would require a party to hold
20 shares, of 250 francs to pl ice him on an equal
position with the holder of 5 shares of 1000 francs,
and thus pro rata. There could be doubt but that the
works would become of infinite importance, from the
facilities afforded for the manufacture of pig and bar-iron,
at a comparatively insignificant cost, as compared to that
attendant on the introduction of English pig or bar-iron
in France. He might observe that, in the prosecution of
the affairs of the company, he had taken upon himself a
heavy responsibility ; but it was highly gratifying to him
to be in a position in which he could congratulate the
proprietors, not only on the prospective returns which
might be calculated from the works, but on the actual re-
sults at the present moment ; as he had no hesitation in
saying, that not only might the outlay incurred be
realised, with a handsome surplus, but that the present
operations, confined as they have been, would leave a
profit of 30 to 40 per cent. on the manufacture. The
cheapness and excellence of the ores were undoubted, and
a reference to the weekly returns of the make and cost
would render this demonstrable ; the iron ore was most
readily fusible, and was of a produce of 40 to 45 per cent.—
only 2i tons being required in the manufacture of a ton of
iron, and which was rendered at 3if. per ton ; while
the quantity of coal might be set down at 30 cwts. to
the ton of pig-iron, but which was slightly exceeded
with the present make. He might here observe that, in
the first instance, nearly three times the quantity of coal
was consumed, arising from the ill construction of the
furnace, as affected the peculiar properties and richness
of the iron ore to be treated ; but this had been set
right, and hence the reduction in the fuel consumed. It
might also be remarked that, in the use of hot air, a
considerable saving had been effected by the application
of the gases, or heat, to raise the blast to the required
point ; breeze, or small coal, being only used as an ad-
junct. Some remarks had been made out of doors by
parties, who evidently had not troubled themselves with
the perusal of the prospectus, or an inspection of the
accounts, and whose expressed opinions were calcu-
lated to mislead, without explanation being afforded. He
should not occupy the time of the meeting by entering
into any detail, as the accounts, and every information
relative to the property, were available for reference, and
would at once satisfy the most sceptical ; while a comparison
of the advantages, or disadvantages, could at once be ar-
rived at. As regarded the manufacture of iron in
France, he believed he was correct in saying that
7-10ths of the quantity smelted there was from charcoal;
and it must be borne in mind that, with respect to the
monopoly which prevails in France, and which had its
natural influence on the affairs of the company, that
such must exist, if that the Government would not ren-
der that country dependant on supplies from the only
two countries in Europe who could render them, viz.,
England and Belgium ; at the same time, such a mea-
sure would desiroy one important branch of their na-
tional industry—one it would be so difficult to re-esta-
blish, after it had been ruined and its elements scattered.
However, other industries in France may be opened to
free-trade hereafter—there must ever be, from obvious
reasons, a protection on iron manufacture, equal to the
difference of cost price in ingland, in Belgium, and
France —or leave the latter country dependent,
under every circumstance, for a supply of a
primary article, either in France, or even on these
ironwo mightuntr ibees . T

converted into pig iron or rough casting, at a price very
considerably less than that of Welsh pig, or other iron
after paying freight, duty, &c., while, by the use of
Welsh anthracite coal with the French ore, and availing
themselves of cheapness of labour, vicinity to markets,
&c., no doubt could exist of their returning large profits.
Mr. PococK observed that he c .nsidered the resolu
tions proposed far too liberal. He, in common with other
gentlemen, had risked his capital ; and although some
time had elapsed ere returns were made, yet he never
entertained a sanguine opinion as to the results. He,
for one, although he should not oppose the resolutions
read to the meeting, could not but express the opinion
he entertained, that the course proposed—that of ad-
mitting the public at par, was an act of excessive
liberality.
Mr. TABOR agreed, in a great measure, with the last
gentleman, but as it had been well observed by the chair-
man, and others who had addressed the meeting, the
position of the company was that of a certain capital
having been expended ; and in holding out to the capi-
talist to embark in common with them, by an equal
advance to that which they had made, they would, in
fact, place themselves in a far more advantageous posi-
tion, while the new shareholders would equally derive
with them the profits arising from the active prosecution
and further devolopment of the works.
In the course of the discussion which ensued, prior to
putting the resolutions to the vote, which in the end
were unanimously carried, it appeared that the intention
of the committee was the introduction of anthracite from
South Wales, whereby the ore could be reduced with
advantage, as had been proved by the experiments
already made at the works ; the comparative cast of pig
iron, smelted at La Jahotierre, and put in market, being
31. 1 ls. 4d. per ton—while the cost in Wales, and added
thereto the freight, insurance, duty, and other charges,
would be 71. 4s. I Id., or a difference of 3/. I3s. 7d. per
ton.

.
A vote of thanks having been passed to T. L. Murray,
Esq., and M. Duprez, and also to the chairman, the meet-
ing adjourned.

A GOOD REASON.—A gentleman residing not a
hundred miles from this town, made the following re-
turn to the Income-tax Commissioners :—" For the last
three years my income has been somewhat under 15OL,
in future it will be more precarious, as the man is dead
of whom I borrowed the money."—.Demiport Telegraph.

IPSWICH AND BURY Si. ED-
MUND'S RAILWAT.

The experimental trip of the engineer and contractor
to test the solidity of this line, and fitness for work-
ing purposes, took place on Thursday last. No public
announcement having been made, the whole matter was
kept as quiet and private as possible.
The train consisted of a fine new engine, called the
" Bury St. Edmund's,"-decorated with flags, and two
first class carriages, one of which was the new smoking
saloon, fitted up in the style of the smoking saloon be-
longing to the Eastern Counties Company ; one second
class, and two third class carriages, the whole forming a
very neat "turn out," and in every way calculated to
prove the soundness and durability of the works along
the entire lino. Upon the engine we observed Mr. J.
C. Cobbold, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr.
J. F. Sauuders. Secretary to the Company, Mr. P.
Bruff, the engineer-in-chief, Mr. Footman, managing
director, and Mr. Martin, superintendent of the line.
The engine was driven by Mr. Taylor, superintendent of
the locomotive department. In the smoking saloon and
the other first-class carriage, were Mr. T. D'Eye Bur-
roughes, Mr. G. Josselyn, Mr. A. Cobbold, Mr. A. Ran-
some, Mr. W. May. Mr. Ogilvie, acting manager in be-
half of Mr. Brassey, the contractor, Mr. Young, cashier,
and various other gentlemen.
The whole being in readiness at the Ipswich station.
the train was backed on to the Bury line, and the first
start was made in the finest possible style precisely at
twenty minutes to eleven, amidst the cheers of the pas-
sengers which were echoed back by the groups of people
assembled on either side of the deep cutting. Little
time was allowed for re flection—shriek went the whistle
of the engine, and amidst shouts of " down with your
heads gentlemen," to those who travelled as " outsiders,"
the train shot into Stoke tunnel, and was soon threading
its dark recesses. The scene was extremely novel to
those who had never before travelled through the be wels
of the earth—the shrieks of the engine, the clatter of the
carriages, the whizzing of the steam, the shouts of the
passengers, mingling together in uproarious and
strange confusion. The 380 yards, the length of the
tunnel, were done in 1 minute 30 seconds, and the train
emerged at the Ipswich end, amidst the hurras of the
labourers, and other persons assembled about the
works. Pas-iag through the cutting at Crane-hall hill,
away the train speeded through the valley to Bram-
ford, reaching the Blakenham station at '2 minutes to
eleven., where the first stoppage took place. Thence
it gontiaiied'its course through the valley affording, on
the right, a-fine view of the splendid seat of Sir W. F.
F. Middleton, Bart, and reached Needham-market at
ten minutes past eleven. Here a ntiMber of people were
assembled, who appeared to be highly amused with the
novel spectacle. Tne engine being again put in motion,
the train rapidly approached what. had formed the most
perplexing portion of the works—the carrying the line
over what has been termed " the bog." The train pro-
ceeded at a good pace amidst the cheers of the passen-
gers, answered by crowds of people on either side of the
line. It soon became evident that engineering skill had
surmounted all difficulties—the line without the slightest
undulation of any kind, proved sound as rock, and
precisely at twenty-five minutes past eleven, the
ponderous locomotive and train of carriages, were
brought to a stand still in the very centre of what
can now no longer be termed " the bog," but as
sound a piece of railway as any in the kingdom, its suc-
cessful completion affording the highest possible credit
to the engineer. Hundreds of people had turned out to
witness the arrival, and they cheered lustily, as flags
flaunted from various points, and the bells rang their
merriest peals. Passing through a long sweep of valley,
Elrnswell station was reached at eight minutes to twelve,
where a number of people were assembled, whose
curiosity being amply gratified, the train emerged into
the deep crating through Norton wood. Here,
for about fifty yards, the only oscillation was ob-
served, this portion being the most recently finished on
the line. The train slightly "bumped " here and there,
but not so much as some had expected, and perhaps not
more than is observable upon many parts of newly
formed lines. Thurston station was reached at 11m.

past 12, in capital style, and during the few minutes so-
journ P. Bonnet, Esq., M.P., with some private friends,
joined the directors in the smoking saloon. Emerging
from the cuttings, upon the embankments on this portion
of the line, Bury St. Edmund's was soon descried in the
distance, and, after a fine run, the train approached the
noble bridge at the end of North-gate-street, and
stopped precisely at 30m. past 12, having accomplished
the whole distance from Ipswich to Bury St. Edmund's,
according to railway time, in 1 hour and 40 minutes.
exclusive of stopp.ges at the various stations. Green
and red flags flaunted from the parapets of the bridge,
and a large number of people were assembled in North-
gate street, who welcomed Mr. Cobbold, Mr. Bruff, and
the directors, as they alighted, with warm acclamations,

It was stated that thousands would have been assem-
bled, but that the arrival had not been made public,
though in the vicinity of the station great bustle was
observable, not the least prominent of which was the
assemblage of omnibuses and cabs, to convey the pas-
sengers to their respective destinations.
A splendid dejettne was given at the Angel Inn, by
Mr. Cobbold and the directors, at which were present
about 30 of the principal inhabitants. M. Cobbold took
the chair, Mr. Saunders officiating as vice president.
Mr. Ogilvie also gave a handsome dejeurd at the Globe
Inn, to about 130 gentlemen. At both entertainments,
after the usual loyal toasts, " Success to the Ipswich and
Bury St. Edmunds R t lway," was drunk in bumpers,
and mutual congratulations were exchanged upon the
successful completion of the works, whether as it related
to the entire line itself, the works at Stowmarket, or the
series of bridges along the route, all of which were pro-
nounced to be most sound and durable in construction.
Little time, however, was allowed for discussion. By
two o'clock the parties re-assembled at the station, Mr.
Cobbold, Hr. Bruff, Mr. S tunders, and the directors,

And they: had good reasons for the exchange of gra-
tulations. Perhaps an experimental trip was never
more successful ; not a single accident or impediment
of the slightest description, was experienced along the
whole route ; and the pleasure arising from these cir-
cumstances was heightened by the extreme fineness of
the weather. Nothing could possibly have been better
than the arrangements made by Mr. Martin ; and great
credit is also due to Mr. Williams, for the care with
which he had made his police arrangements, every sig-
nal man being found faithfully at his post. Nor should
we omit mention of Mr. Taylor, who as usual drove the
engine in a style in every way calculated to uphold Vie
public confidence in this very important department.
At half-past five o'clock, Mr. Ogilvie gave a sumptu-
aosussistdainntnr

Mr. Ogilvie took the chair, supported on the right by
works. About 140 partook of the entertainment, doing
Mr. Winterbottom, on the left by Mr. Martin ; Mr.
Young officiated as Vice-president. There were also
present, Mr. Watson, Eastern Counties' Agent at Col-
chester ; Mr. Eyres, Mr. Sheppard, Mr. Richardson,
Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Russell, together with Mr. J. D.
Harmer, Mr. G. Ransome, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Chap-
man, and a number of other private friends. At a late
period of the evening, Mr. Broil' and Mr. A. Ransome
arrived, and were received with shouts of welcome.
After the usual loyal toasts,
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting upon the
happy auspices under which they had assembled, and
jocularly remarking that they had triumphed over the
bog at Stowmarket, gave " Success to the Ipswich and
Bury St. Edmund's Railroad."—(Three times three, and
" one cheer more.")
"The health of the Chairman and Directors of the
Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's and the Eastern Union
Railroads."—(Three times three.)
Catch—" For they arc jolly good fellows."
Mr. A. RANSOME (who bad but just entered the room)
rose amidst renewed applause, and said, though not a
director himself, yet he could not allow the toast to pass
with..ut availing himself of the opportunity of paying his
humble tribute of respect, and of bearing his most willing
testimony to the private characters of the gentlemen who
formed the board of directors. He thought that those
who recollected the circumstances of doubt and difficulty
and discouragement under which Mr. John Chevallier
Cobbold had to bear up in the first instance, could not
but admire and applaud the stern integrity and indomit-
able courage with which he had succeeded in carrying his
plans asd in defeating his opponents.—(Cheers.) Nor
were they less indebted to those gentlemen who had since
associated themselves with Mr. Cobbold in the comple-
tion of these great undertakings ; for those who know
the characters of the gentlemen in question would bear
testimony, not only to the zeal, and diligence, and
urbanity and courtesy, which had distinguished them
umier all circumstances, but also to that, unquestionably,
which was the highest honour to a board of railway
—their unflinching integrity.—(Cheers.) It was said
that railway enterprise was undertaken for per-
sonal aggrandisement. He thought that the Eastern
Union and Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's directors
formed an exception to that rule ; for, to his own know-
ledge, not one single transaction had occurred during the
whole progress of their undertakings that need raise a
blush on the cheek of the most fastidious.—(Cheers.)
He looked upon it as an honour to be associated with
men of such character ; and he had no doubt that, with
Mr. Cobbold as chairman, and with Mr. Footman as vice
chairman, flanked by such names as Josselyn and Alex-
ander, there would be no fear that, with gentlemen of
such integrity and perseverance, by a long pull, and a
strong pull, and a pull altogether, both schemes of rail-
way enterprise would be abundantly crowned with suc-
cess.—(Cheers.)
Mr. WINTERBOTTOM, in an eulogistic speech, pro-
posed the healths of Mr. Brassey, the contractor, and
Mr. Ogilvie, the acting ma:lager ; observing he had
been engaged in the undertaking which had been so sa-
tisfactorily examined and tested, and could bear most
willing testimony to the zeal, energy, and integrity of
the gentlemen whose names he had the honour to pro-
pose. He wished them their good healths, with all his
heart. Three times three, and " one cheer more."
Catch, " For they are jolly good fellows," and uproar-
ious applause.
Mr. Ocriviz thanked them cordially for the manner
in which they had responded to the toast. He had met

them on two former occasions, but the pleasure was very
much enhanced to day, by the circumstance that they
had overcome two of tho greatest difficulties they had
had to contend against—he alluded to the tunnel and the
bog.—(Laughter.) He felt, however, that to Mr. Bruff,
the able engineer, the credit was due.—(Loud cheers.)
Without his skill, and the aid of his able assistants, he
thought they would have stopped in the tunnel and been
lost in the bog.—(Loud cheers.) They were met to ce-
lebrate their conquest over both difficulties—he hoped
they would also overcome all others, and be—
" O'er all the ill• of life victorious."
(Cheers.) He had now the pleasure to propose the
health of Mr. Bruff, which they would all drink with
enthusiasm. He was soi ry Mr. Bruff was not present,
and he should, therefore, call upon Mr. Richardson to
acknowledge the toast. Three times three, and " one
cheer more."

Catch, " For he's a jolly good fellow."
Mr. BICRARDSON remarked that he felt it to be a
great honour to have hls name associated with Mr.
Bruff. and as one of Mr. Bruff's oldest assistants, he
sympathised heartily in the successes that gentleman had
achieved. They would allow him to remark that the
making and drawing of lines was a very ancient affair.
Hogarth had drawn his line of beauty. They had now
their " line of beauty" from Ipswich to Bury St. Ed-
mund's, and they wore as proud oftheirs as Hogarth was
of his.—(Loud cheers.) lie again thanked them for
the honour they had done Mr. Bruff ; he drank his
health with all his heart, satisfied that the country did
not possess a better engineer, or the private circles a man
more universally esteemed as a gentleman.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BARNES proposed the health of the Secretary, Mr.
Saunders, observing that in every position in which he
had been placed, he had done full honour to the com-
pany with which he was connected. Three times three.
Mr. ETRES acknowledged the toast and was warmly
applauded.
The CHAIRMAN proposed health and success to the
resident engineers, Mr. Winterbottom, Mr. Mitchell, and
Mr. Sheppard.—(Three times three.)
Mr. SHEPPARD returned thanks. They had had many
difficulties to encounter, and he thought the 'need of
praise should be given where it was deserved. The line
had been completed by some of the best workmen in the
kingdom; he therefore gave them the health of the sub-
contractors, hoping that the success they had achieved on
the line, would attend them in future undertakings.—
(Three times three.)
Mr. DOUGLAS returned thanks, expressing the pride
he felt in being employed under such a contractor as Mr.
Brassey, and remarking upon the state of the works.
Danger had been apprehended by some respecting the
boggy place down yonder; but they had got over it; and
he thought that under such men as Mr. Brassey and
Mr. Ogilvie, and with the assistance of such an able
engineer as Mr. Bruff, they could almost do anything.
The healths of Mr. Bruff's assistants.—(Three times
three.) _ _ _

Mr. RUSSELL and Mr. BARNES respectively returned
thanks, remarking upon the agreeable unanimity of feel-
ing which pal vaded all departments.—(Cheers.)
" The healths of the Contractors for the Stations—
Mr. Saunders, Mr. Revitt, and Mr. Read." Three
times three.

ZAt this' period Mr. Bau entered, and upon being
informed his health had been drunk, and upon its being
again proposed and drank with all the honours, returned
thanks in a very feeling speech. Ile said he hoped he
should always occupy the same place in the estimation
of his friends which he did at the present moment.
Whatever little success he bad gained in the position he
held in this locality, could not be wondered at, when he
had so many good friends, who had aided him by their
exertions.—(Cheers.) Nobody could fail with such co-
adjutors, and it was his fervent hope that with his pros-
perity theirs also might increase. They had gone on
hand in hand together, and be hoped that their pi esent
successes might be the forerunners of many others
in time to come.—(Cheers.) They had had some work
together ; he hoped they might have much more ; and
that they would continue to go on. liking each other the
better the more they knew of each other.—(Cheers.) In
conclusion, he paid a handsome compliment to Mr. Ogil-
vie, stating that he was the man to encounter and to
evercome difficulties, and that in all future works he
hoped to have his able co-operation, and at his back the
capital fellows he saw assembled in that room.—(Cheers.)
Mr. OGILVIE could only repeat that the credit attend-
ing the successful completion of the works was due to
Mr. Bruff ; without his able assistance, and the aid of
his engineers, he had no doubt they would have stuck
fast in the tunnel, and lost themselves in t*ie bog.
Other toasts were drunk, and several songs were sung,
and the parties separated at a late hour. The kindliest
feelings predominated throughout, and a merrier or plea-
santer party never spent an evening together upon such
an occasion.

A numerous and most influential meeting was held
this forenoon at the Town Hall, in aid of the Society for
the Propagation of the GospeL There were present the
Bishops of Oxford and Newfoundland, the Vice-Chan-
cellor, the Master of University, the Provost of Oriel,
Queen's and Worcester, the Rector of Exeter, the War-
dens of New College and All Soul's, Archdeacon Clerke,
the Rev. C. P. Eden (Vicar of St. Mary's), the Rev.
John Hill (of St. Edmund Hall), a considerable num-
ber of masters of art, and junior members of the Uni-
versity, the mayor, and several of the principal inhabi-
tants. Some able and animated speeches were delivered.
The Rev. Mr. Hawkins, of Exeter College, the Secretary
of the Parent Society, remarked " that the Church must
throw off some of her coldness and dignity, and unite
for work," a sentiment which was loudly cheered. It is
hoped that the funds of the society, through the power-
ful impulse ROW given to it, will in future be better sup-
ported than they hitherto have been in the University,
particularly among the under-graduate members, many
of whom, we know, are animated with the warmest feel-
ings in its favour.
The Professor of Poetry will deliver his terminal lec-
ture at the Clarendon, on Monday, Dec. 7, at 2 o'clock.
