SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS.

Solicitor .General, that upon going to a foreign Court he was
taken for a general officer, and greatly to his annoyance and
somewhat to his danger he was mounted upon a high
spirited steed. I, however, hold a more legitimate military
rank than that. lam very proud of it, and in the name of
the Volunteers I have to thank you for the way in which
they have been recollected to-night. We are proud of being
conjoined with the army and the navy. We have no pre-
tence of competing with them in military skill and trials,
and the only equality to which we can lay claim is our de-
termination, which, I trust, if the time ever come, will be
shown, to defend the throne and the homes for the defence
of which we have enrolled ourselves. (Cheers.) We have
no deeds to boast of except this, that we have shown our
willingness. We did indeed prove, what I think was not
without significance, that in 48 hours, at their own charges
and expense, 21,000 men of broad Scotland, fully equipped,
could meet at any given point. (Loud applause.) I trust,
however, that the measure and limit of our numbers is by
no means yet complete ; but whatever their numbers be, it
will always be gratifying to them to feel that they have the
confidence which you have this evening expressed towards
them. (Cheers.)

have expected, never could have dreamed of receiving.
(Great applause.) I have canvassed in all directions, in the
most populous districts under the most varied circumstances'
of the great county of York, which I represented for a short
time ; I have canvassed in smaller counties, of an agricul-
tural character alone ; but in all these canvasses 1 never
have been received, even where I was what was called most
popular—in all of them put together I never have had the
reception which I have met with in Glasgow—(cheers)—
and even in the suburb ( f Paisley, this morning. (Hear.)
Now, as my right hon. friend says as t, his toast, that it
divides itself into two parts, so I may say that this reception,
this popularity of mine in these districts also divides itself
into two branches. One part—nine parts in 10 of the whole
—belongs to the Social Science Congress. (Applause and
cries of " No, no 1") It is a demonstration in my person, as
the president, as the leading member, it is a demonstration
which cannot be rebutted of the strength of feeling, of the
deep feeling, of the lasting feeling which pervades univer-
sally in favour of the Social Science Congress. (Cheers.)
With respect to the other trifling part, however gratifying
to me personsally, I account for it by the consideration that
I am regarded, not as the advocate of a party, not as hav-
ing any factious propensities—as having, if I ever had any,
outlived them. (Cheers.) I have had many much dearer,
many much worthier objects ; but still, if I ever was tainted
with party prejudices and party feelings, I have outlived
these prejudices and these feelings, and for many long
years past I have been at the service of tho people, of the
great part of the people, the advocate of principles which I
have always maintained, oven in the worst times of party.
(Loud cheers.) If any one who is a slave of party, be he in
office or out of office, be he an expectant of office, be he one
who has held office, or one who is devoted to party, as some
people are very sickly, and slavishly devoted to party—
(laughter)—who has had any hope of office or any wish of
office—if any of these different descriptions of party men,
with a view to party, had been present at any of these great
demonstrations which we have witnessed within the last
three days among all ranks of the people, from the demon-
stration of last Monday to the demonstration to which Sir
J. Pakington referred on last Wednesday night—they
would have seen—and so they would have seen to-day in
the great suburb of Paisley, in the reception which I met
with—a complete demonstration that the reign of party in
its bad sense, that the reign of faction as compared with the
reign of principle, was now at an end. (Loud cheering.) I
was very glad that my right hon. friend referred to the
wonderful meeting on last Wednesday night. He was not
more astonished than I was or more gratified than I was
with that meetiug. Three thousand and some odd hundreds
were chosen out—for my right hon. friend is aware
that there were about 30,000 applications, and we could
only take a tithe of them—l don't say tithe out of any dis-
respect to the Church—(laughter and cheers)—for I was
always as agreeable to pay tithes as to receive them—when
I say tithes, 1 ought to say teinds. (Laughter.) Teind is
your mode of saying tithes, though it don't quite follow, as
my friend the Lord-Advocate said, the same rule.
(Laughter.) But that tithe of the working classes—that
magnificent assembly of between three and four thousand,
some said it was even upwards of 4,000—1 never in my life
saw anywhere among any rank of the people, a more well-
conducted-r(hear, hear)—candid, fair, apparently intelli-
gent, well-behaved, and, as to the subject of the meeting,
discreet and judicious assembly, composed of any rank of my
fellow-countrymen. (Applause.) This, therefore, is one
of the greatest gratifications which we of the Social Science
Congress have had during the whole of our meeting.
(Cheers.) I could not avoid the opportunity of just men-
tioning these few things, in returning thanks for the honour
.you have done me personally, but above all, for the honour
and comfort you have given to that great association of
which in its congress here I have bad the honour of being
president. (Loud and prolonged cheering.)

THE BANQUET IN THE CITY HALL.

The banquet, which took place in the City-hall, Glas-
gow, at 6 o'clock on Friday, was one of the mcst
description that has, perhaps, ever taken place in the city.
The dinner was served up by Messrs. Ferguson and For-
rester, and the viands were plentiful and varied. The ap-
pearance of Lord Brougham on the platform was the signal
for loud and prolonged cheering, the audience rising en
masse, waving hats and handkerchiefs. Sir A. Alison oc-
cupied the chair. The dinner having been partaken of,
and the tables cleared,
Lord BROUGHAM rose, amid loud applause, and proposed
the first toast. He said—My lords, ladies, and gentlemen
—I beg pardon, I should have said, " My ladies, lords, and
gentlemen" (laughter and loud applause)—more especially
convinced I am that this order should be taken when I am
about to propose to render homage, by drinking the health
of one who is an ornament to the sex. (Applause.) I be-
lieve it is quite unnecessary that I should preface this toast
with any further observation. Our Queen reigns on the true
and strict principles of the constitution. (Loud applause.)
She is eminently a constitutional monarch, and I think
we, in this Congress of Social Science, naturally regard that
quality as of prime importance. There is another thing
which comes probably still more near to our bosoms in the
admirable manner in which she has brought up her family.
(Loud applause.) The education of the Royal children
naturally assumes a large proportion in the eyes of social
aciologists. Comparisons are proverbially invidious, and
therefore I shall only say Royal children had not always
the reittnt. of ibttut it Utlugiiits np, tuttl the:, the country in
the same way has not had that benefit in the bringing up
Royal children in all ages ; but there is nothing invidious
in this comparison, that the Royal family are brought up as
well and as strictly according to the sound principles of
religion, of morals, and learning as any one family in the
whole of the three kingdoms—(loud applause)—greatly to
the praise, greatly to the :credit and honour of the Queen,
is that inestimable benefit which she has conferred upon
her country. (Applause.) I trust it requires no observa-
tion in proposing this toast. I would have merely to name
the Queen, and you would have responded at once, but I
thought it my duty, as at the head of this Congress of
Social Science, to preface it with one observation.
The toast was drunk with Royal honours.
Lord BROUGHAM proposed the second toast, " The Prince
Consort, Prince of Wales, and the other members of the
Royal family." His lordship said,—The Queen has had a
most useful and able coadjutor in earning that praise which
we all so freely bestow upon her for the education of her
family—l mean his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, to
whom also we of the Social Science Association ewe great
obligations for the admirable manner in which he has con-
ducted himself in all respects, with respect to our associa-
tion, and in the British Association also, which he presided
over last year, and the International Congress of Statistics,
over which he presided also lately, in all which capacities,
independently of his great merit as father of the family, ho
has uniformly shown the greatest integrity, great talents,
great learning, and in all those capacities has most usefully
conducted himself. (Applause.) And if you will add those
which are the fruits of all that training—of all that good
training—his Royal Highness Albert Prince of Wales and
the rest of the Royal family—(applause)—of which Prince
of Wales I have only to say that at Edinburgh, as my
learned friend Sir David Brewster, the Principal of our
University, can attest, he gained the universal respect and
esteem among all his teachers and his fellow-pupils ; to
which I will add that, soon after leaving Edinburgh upon
the late occasion last May, I found at Oxford he held pre-
cisely the same place in the esteem of his teachers and the
esteem of his fellow•pupils. (Heer, hear.) Therefore, if
you please, drink "The Prince Consort, Albert Prince of
Wales, and the rest of the Royal family."
The toast was drunk with honours.

Sir J. PAK INGTON, who on rising was received with loud
applause said—Ladies, my Lord, and Gentlemen, I rise to
request your permission to propose a toast, and I do so with
the confidence which is inspired by the certainty that the
toast will be received not only with favour, but with enthu-
siasm. The toast which I have the honour of now submit-
ting to your notice divides itself into two parts. My first
duty in point of order is to ask you to join in drinking
" continued success and increased prosperity to the National
Association for the Promotion of Social Science." (Loud
applause.) I cannot propose this part of the toast without
expressing that which I am sure you must all feel—viz.,
the satisfaction entertained at the great and signal success
which has hitherto attended our association. (Hear, and
applause.) Never has that success been more remarkable
than during this week in the great city of Glasgow—a week
of which we are now joining in the crowning scene, in a
shape which proves that at least one social science is tho-
roughly understood in Glasgow. (Loud applause.) If I
wanted a proof of the general interest which this association
has excited, and more particularly among that class of
society whose welfare is most our object, I would appeal to
the magnificent gathering of the working classes which we
saw in this room on Wednesday night (applause) —a
scene the more striking and the more impressive from the
knowledge we felt that, crowded as this room was, there ,
were thousands of others who were kept away solely from
the impossibility of finding space for them here. If I
wanted to illustrate by proof the extent to which this asso-
ciation devoted its attention to the endeavours to devise
the means for promoting objects of the greatest national
importance, I would appeal to two discussions which it
has been my own good fortune to hear during the present
week. The first was the discussion upon that subject so
deeply important in this country, but especially to all the
manufacturing portions of it. I mean the discussion on
trades' unions and strikes which have occurred. The
other discussion to which I referred is one which I had
the advantage of listening to this morning up n how far
it is possible to adopt some practical mode of getting all
men to agree to some plan for extending and improving
the national education of Scotland. (Hear, hear, and
applause.) In that discussion I heard some warmth,
and I was glad of it. Men never show warmth except when
they are in earnest, and while I heard some little warmth, in
which, as I say, I rejoice, I heard at the same time much
sound sense, much good feeling, much practical wisdom, to
an extent that I am glad to say does make me feel sanguine
that difficulties will be overcome, and that the great blessing
of a sound, religious, efficient national education will be ex-
tended to the whole of Scotland. (Applause.) And, gentlemen,
if the deliberations of our association may be considered
hereafter to have conduced in the slightest degree to so great,
so sacred an object, I am sure you will feel, we may all feel,
that we have not laboured in vain. (Applause.) Those who
heard the impressive and able address delivered this morn-
ing by our friend Sir James Emerson Tennent—(loud ap-
plause)—must, I think, have been struck by that very
eloquent passage—and not more eloquent than truthful—
that eloquent passage in his peroration in which he referred
to the great changes which marked the age in which we live.
(Loud applause.) Let it be the function, my lord, of this
association to endeavour to devise means so to guide these
changes as to make them conduce to the utmost possible
increase of individual happiness and of national prosperity.
(Loud applause.) I cannot touch upon the past success or the
future prospects of this great association—no one can hear
them referred to without tlitir thoughts being at once turned
to our noble and venerable president. (Cheers.) The second
part of my toast, second in order but not second in feeling,
refers to my noble and venerable friend. Let us congratu-
late him upon the success which has attended the institu-
tion, of which we must regard him as the founder. Lot us
assure him of the affectionate respect and the heartfelt plea-
sure with which we see him devoting the evening of his
days to the promotion of those principles which have been
so conspicuous throughout his long and honourable career.
And let us, with an enthusiasm to which no bounds should
be put, drink to his health, and assure him of our hearty
wishes that he may long live in continued health, in con-
tinued happiness, and in well-merited honour. (Tremendous
applause.)

dered useless by the loss of any of the natural teeth to which
they are attached, but by this patent they are not impaired

just these teeth in any of the above cases without the aid of a
dentist.

sultations Free. Terms strictly moderate.-5. GROSVE-

Lord BROUGHAM then said—l have now to propose that
we pay our respects to those important bodies of our fellow-
citizens, " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers."
(Cheers.) Though the Volunteers are named last, I do not.
reckon them the least of the three. I hail their services,
their coming forward with enthusiasm, and their gallantly
performing their duties in defiance of ease and indolence,
and whatever most disinclines men to work, as they would
gallantly perform the same sen;ces in defiance of danger,
if unhappily they should be called upon to encounter the
danger. (Applause.) Of the army and navy it would be
wholly superfluous to make any panegyric or to say one
word except this, that as we fervently hope there may
never be any occasion for their services either by sea or
land, yet that if such occasion should arise, we have the
most perfect, unabating, and indomitable confidence in their
gallantry, and in their successfully performing their duty.
(Great applause.) Heaven forbid that we should show any
mistrust of the continuance of peace 1 but as we wisely
prefer trusting ourselves to any confidence, how well-
founded soever it be, that we can repose in any other quar-
ter, I say again we have trusted ourselves, the Volunteers
help us, and show that we do trust ourselves, and we are
'now completely defended. (Cheers.)
Colonel ALISON, who was received with loud cheers, in re-
turning thanks for the army, said—l will not detainyou a
single moment. In the presence of so many eminent in
politics, in science, and in literature, you have other things
to do than listen to a soldier's word. I would only say, in
one sentence, that these are days of education and competi-
tion, and that the modern English army has lately received
a rough and, I believe, sound education. (Cheers.) It was
christened in blood on the green hills of Alma, confirmed on
the mist-clad rocks of Inkerman, trained in the long
trenches before Sebastopol, and met its first check by the
red salient of the Redan. (Loud cheers.) I trust that it
has profited by that education, and has improved by that
experience. (Hear, hear.) The capture of Delhi, the de-
fence of the Residency of Lucknow, the trampling out of
that great rebellion which threatened to sweep our name
from the plains of Hindostan, afford, I trust, some proof of
that; while Nicholson (loud applause), Havelock (cheers),
and Clyde—(loud cheers)—will show that we have officers
both able to lead and willing to die. (Hear.) Should it

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.

The toast was drunk amid great enthusiasm, the band
playing " Will ye no come back again ?"
Lord BROUGHAM, in reply, said—l believe it is wholly
unnecessary and superfluous that I should express, if indeed
I have the power of expressing, how grateful I am for the
kind manner in which you have received that part of my
right hon. friend Sir John Pakington's proposal which re-
ferred to me personally. But the great and important topic
upon which he dilated is the great, grand success, greatly
above any that has attended the important National Asso-
ciation of which I have the honour to be president—not the
founder certainly. Mr. Hastings is the founder. I co.
operated with him, and came into it as soon as it was pro-
posed ; but in him it originated, and he, as you well know,
performs to this hour the important and difficult and la-
bourious office of our general secretary. (Cheers.) But
well might my right hon. friend say that on no former oc-
casion had our congress been attended with greater success
than here at Glasgow. I will go a step further, and :say
that at no former congress had we anything equal to the
success which has attended us at Glasgow. (Applause.) In
every respect, in all points of view, with all classes, from
the humblest to the highest, we have been received, we have
been welcomed with a cordiality Nvhich can only be accounted
fur—and that is a most comfortable conclusion—by the deep,
lasting interest felt in social science. (Cheers.) I may add
that certainly the reception which I personally received in
all parts of this the great capital—for capital I call it—(hear,
hear)—spud from all classes, —hap boea rich as I never could

The above work is lut,sded for the perusal of those who
have in early life been induced to swerve from the strict rules
of morality. In .its pages facts of paramount utility are
brought together, wholly divested of tne delusions and incon-
sistencies so largely introduced into certain quasi medical
publications given to the world gratis, under the guise of
philanthropy, or as "acts of gratitude," by pretended clergy-
smell and others, whose tamperings with the coustitutipn are
regutntly followed by serious ooffeequeocr;

great competitive examination, or campaign, on Eurcpean
ground, with European armies, I trust and believe the young
army of England may be found no unworthy successor to
the veteran band who in former days hunted the veteran
legion of the greatest of French Emperors from the hills of
Spain, and maintained and secured for nearly forty years
the independence of nations on the plains of Waterloo.

The LORD-ADVOCATE—I find myself in the unexpected
position of having to return thanks for the third branch of
the service which has been commemorated on this occasion.

Lord BROUGHAM, in proposing "the distinguished
foreigners who have attended the congress," said,—You
are aware that this congress has been attended, honoured,
and benefited by the attendance of several distinguished
foreigners. Of these, the most distinguished, perhaps, are
my hon. friend, M. Gamier Pages and my hon. and
learned friend M. Desmarets, a member of the French bar,
from whom we had an able and interesting paper, read to-
day at the section presided over by Sir James E. Tennent.
These gentlemen have come from a country which is our
next neighbour, and I hope will be always our steady and
constant friend. (Hear, hear.) There is which hinds us
this tie—the tie of proximity, near neighbourhood. But
out of that tie arises another of no less pleasing a nature,
and of no small interest to men—their own self-interest ;
and I defy any human imagination to point out anything
more to the interest of France and Britain than the preserve
tion of peace between them. (Cheers.) For the very reason
that they are our nearest neighbours I trust that that old
and, I hope, for ever-exploded notion that they are therefore
our natural enemies, is exchanged for the notion that they
aro our natural friends. (Cheers.) They and we can do
each other more good in peace and more harm in war than
any two other countries on the face of the earth. Therefore,
if men were not absolutely frantic upon certain subjects
there could never be war between the two countries, and I
hope and trust there will never be the occasion. (Cheers.)
That, however, you will say is rather too sanguine a hope,
as long as men are men. Notwithstanding I really do think
we have a fair and reasonable prospect of the continuance
of this blessed peace—blessed as much to the one country as
to the other ; for it is undeniable that they are both equal
gainers in amity, and we are both losers in hostility. I,
therefore, have great satisfaction in proposing to you " the
health of our distinguished foreigners," two of whom we
heard to-day enforcing that doctrine I have promulgated in
their able and interesting papers. (Cheers.)
M. GA.RNIER PAGES and M. DES ASSTS returned
thanks.
Lord BROUGHAM—The Council of the Association have
added one department more to the already exis g tin
his
that at the suggestion of the foreigners present at t ,and
gross. It is named the International Department, and I
hope it may serve all the purposes intended. (Cheers.) I
beg leave specially to propose the health of Mr. Hastings,
the general secretary, who, with myself, were early in the
institution of this association. (Chears.)
Mr. HASTINGS said he had great pleasure in acknowledg-
ing the toast, not only for himself, but for the local secre-
taries who had assisted him in the work, and through
whose aid the work had been successi.ully carried out.
Dr. MACLEOD rose and said—Beim e parting with " the
old man eloquent," at the close of this meeting, I propose
we gise him once more three hearty chetors. (Applause )
Lord BROUGHAM—Instead of that I -will do a much bet-
ter thing : I will tell you a story. (I teak Cheer uanpdon myself 0
laughter.)
