About six hundred persons attended, the hall and anteroom being crowded to inconvenience. The chair was taken by Sir E. A. H. Lechmere. The House of Lords having been proposed by Captain. Candler, the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot responded. The House of Lords, he said, was an institution highly valued, and, if he might be allowed to say so, deservedly esteemed by the nation. It had often been said by noisy democrats and clamorous republicans, that the House of Lords was of no use. Reference had been made by previous speakers to the unhappy contention that was going on on the other side of the Atlantic. (Hear.) In America they saw democracy on its trial, and they saw how it failed. (Hear.)

The early form of steam-generator was a sphere, as seen in the Aeolipile of Hero; the boilers of Worcester, Papin, and Savery. The flue wound spirally around the outside. For this was substituted a boiler with a hemispherical top and flat or arched bottom; as in those of Newcomen and Leupold. The wagon-boiler — so called from its shape, resembling a wagon with a tilt — was used by Watt, and continues to be used to the present day. It has some variation in its forms, and the sides are sometimes strengthened by stays against collapsing or bulging. It is only used with low pressures.

His personal demeanor was that of a shy and modest maiden. He always greeted me with a cheerful word and a most radiant smile. The notion of arrogance, as a quality in the character of Charles Sumner, can excite in me only the emotion of ridicule. Mr. Sumner was admitted to the bar at Worcester in 1834, and commenced the practice of law in Boston. Thoroughly prepared as he was for meeting the demands of his vocation, he soon came to enjoy extensive patronage. He was shortly afterwards appointed Reporter to the circuit court of the United States; and while serving in this capacity published the three volumes now known as Sumner's Reports, embodying the important legal decisions The following compliment was paid by Baron Parke to Mr. Sumner, and his Reports of the Decisions of
