PRESENTA7'ION OF THE WRIGHT
7 ESTIMONIAL.—(This Day.)

The ceremony of presenting the testimonial pot.'
trait of Thomas Wright, the prison philanthropist
to the City of London, took place to-day, in the
Guildhall.
A Court of Common Council having assembled
in the Guildhall, the Lord Mayor in the
chair, and the whole of the civic authoritiee
being present, Mr. T. Henry, M.P., the chairman
of the executive committee having informed the
Lord Mayor that it was intended to present similar
portraits in Manchester and Salford, the Earl a
Shaftesbury rose, and in a very excellent speech
presented :the protrait (a full-length one and a°
admirable likeness) of Thomas Wright, for the
acceptance of the City of London. His lordship
said the labours of Mr. Wright were best known t°l
those whose duty compelled them to visit prisons, and
from the time of Howard no one had done more to
reclaim our fallen fellow creatures than Mr. Wright'
He had made his charitable mission the work of 111.4
life, and, springing from the ranks of the workia
class, his meritorious example was worthy of al
highest imitation. 'Many a poor fellow-creatureb%
been brought back to the path of rectitude wh,
had lived to bless the day they saw Thon3ve
Wright. The Lord Mayor, on the part of tbli
citizens of London, accepted the portrait w°
thanks, and said it should be placed amongst thee
pictures of the other worthies which adorned tl3
Guildhall. Mr. Wright's exertions were well kncl:f
to all who took an interest in the reformation
the fallen, and he could not call to mind a name tlitif
deserved so much honour and respect as that°o
Thomas Wright, who, although risen from t,„
working classes, had made by his purely dig' .
terested and perfectly independent motives a De°ll
that would long be remembered with respect I'
veneration in England.

The portrait was then delivered over in a forifro,
manner, amid loud cheers and calls for Mr. Wris
The venerable old man then came forward, 1111 d
said he thanked them all for the honour they 13„0
done him; but he felt he did not deserve half t;/
praise lavished upon him, as he had only dale

duty to his God and his fellow-creatures. the
Some other gentlemen having addressed y,
Council, the proceedings terminated, and col
Wright, as he left the Guildhall, was cheered 000
enthusiastically, and heartily cheered by the Tib
of the crowded assemblage within the court-101i.
