On the health of the Rev . John -Kenrick , the classical professor of the college , being drunk , that gentleman addressed the company in a highly interesting speech , of which we regret that we canuot give a full report . In alluding to a sentiment , which had previously b ? en given from the chair , iC Education without subscription to articles of faith , " Mr . Kenrick traced the his'ory of the college from its origiual establishment at Harrington , upwards of seventy years since , and its revival iti Manchester , iu the year 1786 . He claimed for the founders and supporters of the institution the honour of haviug led the way hj the establishment of those great principles of free and unbiassed education , which the most distinguished men of the aqe hare adopted as the ground-work of the London University ; principles , he said , which , though they are now axiom ? ,
were discoveries fifty years ago . Mr . " Keurick ' s account of the present state of the college , its discipline , the good conduct of the students , and the high promise of several of them who are now educating for the ministry , was a most gratifying one , and was received by the company . as a pledge of the continued and increasing prosperity of the institution . In the course of the evening the
company was addressed by the Rev . William Turner , Jun ., the late mathematical professor ; the Rev . J . G . Robberds ; the Rev . J . J . Tayler ; Mr . Thomas Boothman , who alluded , with much eloquence and feeling , to the measures then in progress through Parliament for the relief of his Majesty ' s Roman Catholic subjects ( of whom Afr . Boothman is one ); Mr . Richard Potter ; Mr . Hampson , of Duckinfield : and several other
gentlemen . Mr . Wood left the chair soon after ten o ' clock , and the company separated , highly gratified with the enjoyment of the evening .
