CAPTAIN PARRY.

The Meeting held at the Guildhall, Bath, on Wed-
nesday se'Aitight (for the Resolutions see our front
page), was most respectably attended, but the weather
proved an obstacle to a very numerous company ; it
was in unison with the subject, but-discordant to the
attendance. His Grace the Duke of Soy ERSET moved
the first Resolution, in an eloquent, perspicuous and
able speech. After tlacin7, the various expeditions
which had been fitted out in preceding reigns, with
a view to explore the arctic seas and the numerous
and useful discoveries made by each, his Grace pro-
ceeded to observe, that the expedition under Captain
Parry was one which deserved to be ranked among
the most memorable—whether we regard his ability
in conducting it, the privations to which he was
exposed under so severe a climate, the excellent dis-
cipline maintained in the vessel under his command,
his extraordinary attention to the health of his crew,
or the accurate information which he had- obtained.

He was seconded by Sir J. C. HIIIPISLEY, who ex-
patiated at large on the object of the Meeting, and
made many highly appropriate observations. The
worthy Baronet presumed that the honour of second-
ing the motion had devolved on so subordinate a
link in the chain of society as himself, in consequence
of his having presided at the late Meeting of the
West of England Agricultural Society, when the
Bedfordian 4..1d Medal was presented to Captain
Parry. He also entered largely into the merits of
the Commander. of the Expedition, during the long,
dreary season, where they were Enclosed in thick
ribb'd regions of the Polar ice," and animadverted
on his excellent conduct towards the men, in invent-
ing amusements at a time when there was. so little
to inspire hope or alleviate fear. He concluded
with hoping the result of the day's meeting would
be the purchase of such al massive, elegant piece of
Plate, as would be worthy of the donors and worthy
of being accepted by the gallant Captain, and that
it might descend to his latest posterity as a signal
mark of his own intrepid conduct, and the admira-
tion and esteem of his fellow-townsmen.

I lASTINGS ELWIN, Esq. moved the socond Resolu-
tion, in an energetic and manly speech. He marked
with great truth and propriety the feelings that should
operate with regard to testimonials, such as the Meet-
ing had this day resolved upon; pourtrayed the merits
and deserts of the Navy and Army ; and concluded
with a peroration that did honour to his head and
heart. Among the many forcible observations which
this eloquent Gentleman impressed on his auditors,
was one deserving the particular attention of the
Public ; it was, that as a large number of subscribers to
the intended Testimony was an object at least equally
desirable as a large nmuint, he earnestly recommended
that mail subscrsptioks should not only be received,
but encouraged, in order that all classes of Captain
Parry's fellowicitiz,ns may have an opportunity of,
recording their gratitude for his meritorious services.
The Rev. JA ains Ha %/ma ND then read several Let-,
ters from Noblemen and Gentlemen, in answer to
one he addressed to them, highly approving of the
object of the Meeting, and expressing in strong erms
their sense of the gallant and meritorious services of
-Captain Parry. He said, that after the sentiments the
Meeting had just heard from the Noble Mover-of the
first Resolution, it might appear unnecessary that he
should read his reply ; but he could not refrain, be-
cause he thought it would, if possible, give additional
pleasure to the Meeting. The Reverend Gentleman
then addressed the Chair, nearly as follows --" Sir,
after the able and luminous speeches this day deli-
vered,. I shall not presume to offer any observations
on the object of this Meeting ; more especially as I
have so lately expressed my sentiments, when I made
the motion at the Annual Meeting of the Bath and
West of England Agricultural Society, that the Bed-
fordian Medal should be ',resented to Captain Parry.
I shall only propose what I feel confident will meet
a most cordial reception, and the unanimous appro-
bation of the Meeting:'—The Rev. J. Haviland then
moved the third and fourth Resolutions.

The Duke of SONIMISET then moved, secondeld by
Sir J. C. ifirmr.ey, the ThanLs of the Meeting EV
