LONDON UNIVERSITY.

PRICE 7D.

The following account of a Public Meeting at
Stratford, on occasion of presenting a Picce
of
Plate to Dr. Conolly, appointed Professor of
the Natuie and Treatment of Diseases in the
University of London,: which we extract from
the Warwick Advertiser, is highly complimen-
tary to that gentleman, and affords anotherin-
stance of the regard entertained for gentlemen
elevated to the .Chair of that Institution in the
scenes of their activity :

PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO TM. CONOLLY.
On Thursday morning the plate subscribed'
for by the inhabitants of the town and neighbour-
hood of Stratford, was presented to Dr. Conolly,
in the presence of a very numerous company of
ladies and gentlemen, at a public breakfast, pro-
vided by Mr.- Arkell, in the Town Hall of that
borough. The plate consists of a very elegant
and highly wrought Salver, weight 134 ounces,
with a short inscription, expressive of the senti-
ments of the subscribers. -The company sat
down to breakfast about eleven, and the plate
was.afterwards presented by Sir Gray Skipwith,
who addressed Dr:Conolly in t 4 following kind
and handsome terms :

Dr. CoNoLLY—I never rose to address any
person with feelings so mixed as mine are at this
moment—l cannot but be gratified at being se-
lected to express to you the sentiments of your
friends on the present occasion ; but when I
consider that that occasion arises from the cir-
cumstance of your being on the point of leaving
us, in all probability for ever, I sincerely lament
the loss which we are about to sustain.

You, Sir, have been known to the inhabitants
of Stratford and its vicinity for little more than
five years, and in that short time have acquired
a greater portion of our esteem and regard than
the generality of men would accomplish in the
course of a long life.
Whoever, Sir, has had occasion to consult
you in your medical capacity, will long bear a
grateful recollection of the zeal and ability with
which you applied yourself to the relief of his
sufferings.
Whoever has had the good fortune to meet
you in private society or to attend you on more
public occasions, will never forget the good sense,
the urbanity of manner, and gentlemanly kind-
ness, with which you always. delighted to pro-
mote the good humour and happiness of the
party.
But, Sir, you by-no means confined the exer-
cise of your skill and talents to the service of
the rich—many a poor man, by the blessing of
God, is indebted to you for the recovery of his
health—the pennyless sufferers were always wel-
come patients of yours.
By your industry and your perseverance a Dis-
pensary is established in this town, which already
entitles you, and those medical gentlemen who
are associated with you in this work of charity,
to the gratitude of hundreds ; and I trust it will
long remain a benefit to persons yet unborn, and
a lasting monument of the benevolent interest
which you have taken in the welfare of the in-
digent.
Circumstances have arisen, Sir, Which have
determined you to leave us—we shall long feel
your loss ; but we are not so selfish as to repine
at your decision, for we anxiously hope that our
separation will lead to the improvement of your
fortune and the increase of your fame and repu-
tation.

It was impossible to part with you, Sir, and
merit such as yours, as we part with an ordinary
acquaintance ; and we resolved to request the
honour of your company at this breakfast, for
the purpose of offering you thus publicly a piece
of plate.
I, therefore, Sir, in the name of all your friends
in this town and neighbourhood, beg the accep-
tance-of this Salver, as a mark of the high esteem
and regard with which you have impressed us.
I beg further, Sir, to add, that wherever you
are, our best wishes for your health, happiness,
and honour, will always attend you.
(Several parts of this address were warmly
cheered by the company, every individual seem-
ing anxious to express her or his concurrence in
those feelings to which the Worthy Baronet gave
such effective expression.)
Dr. CONOLLY replied nearly in the following,
words :—Sir Gray Skipwith, Ladies and Gentle-
men : I trust it will be believed that I am fully
sensible of the great honour which has just been
done me, and of the kind and gratifying manner
in which the sentiments of the town and neigh-
bourhood have thus been communicated to me ;
for I find it quite impossible to express, in terms
at all adequate to the emotions with which I
cannot but at this moment be affected, my deep
sense of such an honourable proof of your esteem
and good wishes. At the same time, when I
contrast it with my own conscious undeserving-
ness, I may most truly say that the prevailing
feeling in my mind, on receiving this splendid
tribute, is one of unfeigned humility ; for I can-
not but ask myself what have I done to deserve
it, or to deserve what is far more valuable, far
dearer to me than the most costly tribute could
be—such a general expression of good will and
affection from those among whom I have lived..
To any services, or performances, or merits of
my own, I look in vain for an explanation ; and
I find it only in your extreme indulgence to
whatever attempts I have had an opportunity of
making. I read in the kind words addressed to
me, not so much what I have done and been, as
what I ought to have tone and to be ; and now
that I am about to leave you, and to quit a
neighbourhood which has been to me for the
last five years a home, in all the
_senses of
that delightful word, I feel that it is I who
should render thanks to you for the willing
assistance so often accorded to any attempts
I have made to be useful—attempts
I should not make any . allusion, if they had
ly sp
oken of,
not already been so flattering
and of which all I shall say is, to which
that they were
are of accomplishment, and
which
h
provements of the town (
with so much pleasure, and to fulfil duties which
p
I always felt were but too imperfectly performed.
