MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.

The following letters have been addressed by Lord
Sandon and Mr. Ewart to R. V. Yates, Esq., President
of the .Mechanics' Institute of this town

Sandon, May 26, 1833.
Dear Sir,—Being in the country for two or three days during
the Easter holydays, I have only just received yours of the 18th
instant, in which you convey to me the thanks of the Liverpool
Mechanics' Institute, for my attention in forwarding to them
various parliamentary papers.
May I ask you to acknowledge, in my name, the obliging
attention of that body, and to assure them that I will take care
to furnish them with such other public documents, in future, as
shall appear likely to be of interest to them.—l am, dear Sir,
your faithful servant, SANDON.
Richard V. Yates, Esq.

London, 23d, May, 1833.
My Dear Sir,—lt will afford me sincere pleasure to comply
with the request contained in your letter of the 18th instant.
I have always contemplated the formation of the Mechanics'
flnstitution with genuine feelings of gratification,arising equally
rom the general good which it diffuses, and from the local
benefits which it confers on Liverpool. I trust that the day
already has arrived when our great commercial and manu-
facturing communities feel that they have no duty more sacred,
no more genuine interest, or any greater source of power than
the moral and intellectual advancement of the people. Edu-
cation has been too long a monopoly in this country. I hope
that we shall see the day when some great and real university
may rise in our own district. Commerce and mechanical em-
ployments are naturally connected with science and with art.
They should reside together and shed a mutual light. You
will be rejoiced to hear that efforts will be made in Parliament
to procure a charter for the London University. This is an
object of great importance to the cause of education, in which
it is indispensable that we should have a free trade: with less
we ought not to be contented. lam extremely sorry that the
constancy of my general occupation prevents me from bestow-
ing a greater share of attention than I do at present on your
excellent institution. No one more cordially desires its suc-
cess, or feels more zealous to promote it.—l remain, my dear
Sir, yours, faithfully, WILLIAM EWAR'F.
Richard Yates, -Esq., President.
