Meeting OF Liberals at Chatham Hall.
On Sunday, about forty persons, of various shades
Of religion assembled ut three o'clock in Chatham
Hall, Chatham square, for the purpose ofheariag
lecture Free Discussion" and listening to dispu
taticns on religious subjects The lecture was in
tended to form Of series which are being deli.
vered at intervals, and on which discussion is inyi
ted On the present occasion, the lecture was
delivered by Mr.. Sheppard; but prior to that gem
tlemsn commencing his discourse, Mr.. Bum moved
that Mr. Holland take the chair, which having been
seconded and carried unanimously, Mr.. Holland
complied with the request, and opened the proceed
ings by reading the advertisement converting tho
meeting He then announced that Mr. Sheppard
would address the meeting, and that after the lecture
any one would be at liberty to discuss any point
which the lecturer might bring forward, but no
one was to continue an argument ger than ten
minutes.
Mr.. SHEPPARD began by observing that Bacon is
Justly regarded rs the father of inductiye phoso-
ply. for previously the right principles of philoso
ply were unknown. The science of tho oiden time
was mainly composed Of dogmas, having little Of
order or Dissemination. Bacon taught that the
right way 70 discover truth was to observe and
cord material and obvious facts and then 10 the
Judgment, and ascertain the principles to be reduced
theIefrom. Since his day, tho world has moved
on in accelerated ratio Of progression; but
notwithstanding that these axioms Of Bacon carry
conviction upon their face, from being based
upon sound logic, it is only within com.
paratively few years that they have boon &c
knowledged as correct; for whom they wore irst
propounded, and even for many years after,
| they met with great amount OF opposition
St at this late day, there is strong disnclins'ion
