S ., &c , &c , supported in the vice-chair by J . E . Taylor , Esq ., presided at the dinner which took place ou the occasion .
The interest experienced at this religious festival was of the most intense kind , while the spirit of Christian love , embracing the great brotherhood of man , pervaded every heart and brightened every eye . This latter effect was chiefly owing to the truly Christian temper of Dr . Ledlie ' s valuable discourses—the
former to the philanthropy , the ardour , the poetic imagination , the brilliant views , the devout inspiration of the Chairman ' s mind , which created in the audience a height aud depth , a length and breadth , of emotion in favour of the great interests of the human race , such
as have never before been felt by ourselves on any similar occasion . Delightful day ! the remembrance of it will live in near two hundred hearts , cherished and pleasurable till all earthly emotions are obliterated , and those scenes are unveiled of which the brightest days on earth are but shadows .
