PRESENTATION OF THE IVRIGHT

7ESTIMONIAL.—(This Day.)

The ceremony of presenting the testimonial por-
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 authorities
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 of
Shaftesbury rose, and in a very excellent speech
presented :the protrait (a full-length one and an
admirable likeness) of Thomas Wright, for the
acceptance of the City of London. His lordship
said the labours of Mr. Wright were best known to
those whose duty compelled t hem 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 his
life, and, springing from the ranks of the working
class, his meritorious example was worthy of the
highest imitation. Many a poor fellow-creature had
been brought back to the path of rectitude who
had lived to bless the day they raw Thomas
Wright. The Lord Mayor, on the part of the
citizens of London, accepted the portrait with
thanks, and said it should be placed amongst the
pictures of the other worthies which adorned the
Guildhall. Mr. 'Wright's exertions were well known
to all who took an interest in the reformation of
the fallen, and he could not call to mind a name that
deserved so much honour and respect as that of
Thomas Wright, who, although risen from the
working classes, had made by his purely disin-
terested d

The portrait was then delivered over in a formal
manner, amid loud cheers and calls for Mr. Wright•
The venerable old man then came forward, and
said he thanked them all for the honour they had
done him ; but he felt he did not deserve half the
praise lavished upon him, as he had only done 121$
duty to his God and his fellow-creatures.
Some other gentlemen having addressed the
Council, the proceedings terminated, and Mr.
Wright, as he left the Guildhall, was cheered most
enthusiastically, and heartily cheered by the whole
of the crowded assemblage within the court-hall.
