and truly that heart must be cold, which can remem-\u2022 her the flowery lanes, the wooded heights, the embowered churches, and quiet villages of the \u201c old country,\u2019\u2019 without feeling that no prosperity elsewhere, cau destroy that first love.The descendants of emigrants' to this Province, however, \u2022will have none of these sentiments.If they possess patriotism at all it must be Canadian patriotism, and this if it' be'not a miserable, contracted feeling of caste and party must embrace all who reside upon the Canadian soil.We feel this to .he right in the case of posterity : we know that I sooner or later it must take place, and that the l | true greatness of the country will not begin until 1 j distinctions of race and particular objects give 1\titpy! desires to work out common which five centuries after they became , one na- Ition on her soil, find themselves again in juxtaposition, in a world then unknown.With these conclusions of our reasoh all that we demand is that our conduct, should as much as possible j agree.Let the fathers begin that which they \\ know, must be accomplished by the children.In saying this we expect no, chimerical changes.We have no idea that an Englishman, Scotchman, Irishman, or French Canadian, can be induced by a newspaper article, nor even by the most thorough conviction of his own intellect, to abandon at once those peculiarities, which form as much a part of his being, as the limbs of his body.We must all understand this, even as a means to the' ¦union which we seek for; unless we do,-we shall each expect too much: from the.other.\u2014While unconscious of our own tenacity of adherence, we shall blame the stubborn obstinacy which will not adopt our ideas and our customs.The growing up of a broad national sentiment out of a variety of national peculiarities is a .process' that requires time, and in order that it should not be checked, duiing the period of progress; we must be disposed to 'overlook Or' indulge some antagonist notions, knowing that wê have the same need for indulgence ourselves.Indeed it is probable that the desired end is to be gained not so much by effacing present impressions, so as to reduce all to the same level, as by raising up objects of overflowing interest, to which the exertions of all may tend.In order to this, social and intellectual intercourse between all classes must be cultivated as much as possible, and this brings ns to the second object of this article\u2014the propriety of joining and supporting the Institut Canadien.It would seem not to be a very high object of ambition\u2014and though not essential to nationality would certainly be a striking badge of,it,.\u2014for every person born in Lower.Canada,of arriving here in early life to speak with tolerable fluency thé two languages of the country; and to know something of the history, the literature, and the predominant ideas of the two nations by which this colony has been peopled.Wé believe that, perhaps, circumstances' more than any direct bent of the will, have made our French Canadian fellow citizens a great deal better versed in English and English history, than those bt English origin are, in French and French history.Whatever may be the cause, the fact admits of little doubt.Rat Üie Institut provides'a means of correcting this inferiority on the part of the inhabitants 'of-British origin.For a small sub scription all may become members of a society which, while it excludes none, is yet, anti will long be essentially French in its leading characteristics.It .is an institution which seems espe cially adapted to draw together the different classes of society ; but especially to place our young men of British origin in a position to know, understand and appreciate their neighbors of another origin.Those who read our report of the reeent opening of thq\u2019new rooms of the I«s/i-tut, will not want any assurances that in its library and its discussions there is.the mtmost free-dom for all opinions, as well as for all classes of members.For young men of education especially, who wish' to perfect themselves in speaking one of the two languages of the country, the discussions of thé Society offer an excellent field, which we hope will be extensively made use of.Alexander Ramsay, Edward Maxwell,.William Spier, Wqlliam .Hutchinson, James M-avof, Alexander Fjeck,.MOHTilEAL MECHANICS\u2019 HALL.This Building, situated upon and forming the South West corner of Great St.James and St.Peter Streets, in the City of Montreal, was erected by voluntary contributibhs for the use and purposes of The Mechanife\u2019 Instituie of Montreal, in the year of our Lord Christ, One' Thousand Eight Hundred and Difty-fouf, and in the Seventeenth year of the Rpign of Our So* vereign Queen Victoria, His Excellency the Right Honorable James, Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, K.T., Governor General of British North America, Ac., (under the administration in this Province of Lieut.-General William Rowan, C.B.)

Before \u2019requesting you to proceed with that cefemqfiy, I would wish briefly to allude to , thé Institution, for the purposes of which this Hall is in course of erection\u2014to its objects, aims and prospects, and to the eircumstances rindef which this building has been commenced, and the means by which we have been enabled to dp so.The Meqhaaies\u2019 Institute.ofMontreal was founded in the year 1828, for the-objects common to such associations, and has, ever since that peri od, continued gradually to increase in prosperity and the means of usefulness.The number of members is now GOO, and the annual revenue averages £400.It possesses a well-selected Library of about 2000 volumes, a Reading Room, supplied with the.principal newspapers and period! cals of the day, and it has continued to organize each season courses of lectures and winter classés.In the year 1845, an Act of Incorporation was obtained from jthe Legislature of the Province, authorizing the Association, among:-other things, to hold real estate to a certain amount, and before, and ever since that.period, it has been the desire and aim of.the Institute to procure suitable and permanent premises for its uses, as the deficient accommodation and many inconveniences attendant on their want, had long cramped the energies and limited the usefulness of the In-'stitution.\t, ;\t¦ \u2022 After much preliminary effort and considération this lot of ground, was purchased, and an appeal for the, necessary means made to.the members of the Institute and the public in.general ; that appeal has' been.respon,^ed to by all classes of !he community in the most generous and liberal spirit, and thus encouraged by success, the plans were prepared,\"arid contracts entered info, during the latter portion qf the past year ; and now, at.this day, I do not consider that the committee\u2018are over-sanguine in thinking, as tkey.do, the principal difficulties surmounted and the success of the enterprise secure.Masons.Carpenter.Bricklayers.Plasterers.Painters.The Lebislatoiie.\u2014The Pilof, says, yesterday \u201c We learn from Qdebec that the Music Hall has been taken by the Government,, and that .there the ensuing.Session -of Parliament will be Sheid.The accommodatiqns, with ;

and although a large sum ifas thus still to be provided, yet, as the largest portion of the purchase-money of the lot forms a constitue, it is confidently expected that the subscriptions winch\u2019 will yet be obtained,- and- the t-even'tfes which will be derived from the building itself, will, in a very few years, entirely liquidate any debt which may be on the building, on its completion.Then; when the whole revenue' of building and Institute are devoted towards the increase of\u2019its library, reading room ahd museum, and the br-ganizatibn of an effective system of classés arid public lectures, I feel eohfident that the succéés of the Institution, and the good Which it will effect, in being the means of disseminating \\Videly among a large and important portion of our community that desire for useful Information and triste f'or.literary recreation that makes the mechanic not aione the working, but the reading and the thinking man, I am confident that that success which we anticipate will richly reward every effort which has been made, ahdjiis\u2019tify thé liberal assistance which; irrespective of profession or occupation, the citizens of\u2018Mbntreal have extended to the Mechanics\u2019 Institute of this city._ Under these circumstances, then, and in consideration of-the purposes to which this building is to be devoted, the members of the Institute de: sire that tlie chief corner stone should be laid with all the ceremonial honors appertaining to your most ancient and honorable fraternity, afid'\u2019 I have now,.Most Worshipful Sir, to convey jftsf desire to you, and to request that you .will be pleased to accede to it.' jrnT I JninT boarO edi riliw hslaaMnoo gni The Grand- Master consented, and forthwith \u2022 delivered to the people the following:-\u2014 Men, Women and children here assembled today to behold this ceremony, know all, of you that we be lawful Masons, obedient'to and recognized by the laws of the State, true apd hearty in our love to bur cbuntly and pur loyal attach-ment to our Sovbiéign.We have been es.tabUsh-ed of old in mb'st Civilized countries with peace and honor, for the purposes of our enlarged benevolence, to do good unto rill'men, hut especially our: Brethreri of the Order, to build , great buildings, to feitr God who is the Great Architect of all'things, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.'We have amongst us, concealed from the eyes of all men, \u2019 secrets that, may not be revealed, but these are lawful and honorable for Mrisons to know who only have the keeping of them to the end of time.Men, ignorant of the real objects of Free Masonry, may misrepresent ls.bht- whilst we are good, and peaceable citizens, and whilst men the most renowned foi- honor and science\u2014men of unquestionable piety and religion\u2014men who have lived in the practice of every , public and private virtue, and who all, in.all ages, have, been most zealous for the.present welfare and future prosperity of our Order, we may justly claim the respect and confidence of the community for our ancient Fraternity, as beipg the opposite to anything wicked,' trifliUg and irréligions.From thé remotest times, no other institution has been permanent or universal; whatever were its laws, however excellent its system, conquests, and the elevation of one people above another.It could not, therefore, be rendered congenial to the interest, nor reconciled to the fancy, of every nation.Philanthropy was not the basis upon which these systems were founded\u2014the love of country , badly Understood and carried to excess frequently destroys the love of hnmanity.Mankind are not essentially distinguished by thfe difference of the language they speak, the garb they wear, or the dignities with which they are invested.The whole world is one great, republic, of which every nation is .a family arid every individual a child : to revive and spread-abroad thèsé maxims drawn from the nature of man is one of the great ends of our Institution, and thus are our principles identified with those of all mortals ; and hence the \u2019 boundless extent, unceasing duration and remote antiquity of our Order.Unless, therefore, 'our cratTwere good and praiseworthy and pur calling honorable, we -should not have existed for so many centuries, nor should we have had so many Royal, Noble and lilustrious Brothers in our Order, ready to sustain the laws of the Craft, and promote onr interests.' To-dayj'we are' assembled in the presence of y oil all to build a housè for the encouragement of mechanical skill and industry, which,-we pray God may prosper if it seem good to- Him, that it rnay become a build ^ ing not only for the i promotion of cultivated science and artistic skill/bat for good men and good deeds and advance-thé jntdlfi'gen\u2019ee of (ha Mechrinics\u2019of Montreal to thetend; of fimë'.- So mote it be.By the request of tire Grand Master.'Mr.Foot-nef, the Provincial Superintendentof Works, then read the follpyingvouiS Was sdJ V INSCRIPTION ON PLATED3 V** | MEG HA-Nicfe\u2019 HALL, Erected 1854.,.' .\" architects, Hopkins & Nelson, -rtj tj a j The Building Oommiltee Superintending.BUILDERS : .Mavor & McDonald.abflU edj .-BdwandpMaxwell.7leQ.___Wyatt & Jackson.Aitkehf&TM'OWlsSn.Ramsay & M\u2018 Arthur.The plate was deposited in a crypt in the stone, tôgether'-wîth the following objects, :\u2014 A Sdvier'eignMf ib.fe 'pfe^nt reign ;.British Silver Ciowo, Half Crown, Florin,.Shilling, Six-; periefe, Fburpenée, Threepence; One Half Penny, One Penny ; Shilling Géo.3rd ; East India Two Annas; Copper Penny Geo.Sid, do Wm.4th, ; do'New Brunswick, do Canadian Quebec-Bank-, do do Bank of Upper Canada ; Half Penny Géo.,3rd, db Victoria Jersey, do Isle çf Man, do Model, Silver , Céritrè, do Canadian QiiebecgBarLki/do .- Bank of Upper Canada; Farthing Guo.3rd, do \u2019Wm.4th, do Victoria ; Half Farthipg Victoria; Bfohze Séijvice Metlal pf jffô A.Perry;, for Services Tndnsti-lai Exhibition, 1851.'
