Dix, whilst Senator in Congress. Many even 6bjeeted. to the receipt of the bequest pf Mr. Smithsoft, (an English bachelor gentleman of fortune, the natural son of the Duke of Nor-' thninhorland,) and some were for returning it, though General Jackson had appointed Mr. Bash' to a special mission to England, to procure it from the British Court of Chancery. • .. t .After.the receipt of the largo sum bequeathed.by Smithson " for the establishment at Washington of ap institution for the increase and diffusion of hiawUdge among men,” it was unfortunately in rested in/Arkansas State stocks,' whioh- shortly after, greatly depreciated. Dot the Federal Go vemiqentr >rery properly assumed the. debt, and mode up the defioicnoy. No little diversity of opinion existed in tho outset with respect to the character.of the. institution to be established, as in dicated by the terms of tho bequest quoted. Some thought a large library should be founded—others woreinfaror of.the organisation of anaoademy for adults. .General Dix hit upon the true inten tion of the testator in the act of incorporation pro posed by him, and pawed by Congress in 1818. By that act, and by the proceedings of the Board of Regents under it, tho institution has been orga nised os ,a •scientific corporation; is principally devoted to the diffusion of knowledge, by premiums to our scientific and literary ciUsensfor tho delivery of lectures, and publication of books (under the sanotion of tho institution) on scientific and literary subjects of general interest- , % The late, professor Hare, of your city, donated to the . institution his splendid philosophical and chemical apparatus.' Many other highly valuable gifta and'bequests have boon made, to it. The In stitute has published many Important works, and continues such publications regularly, which are exchffiagod with other institutions, or gratuitously distributed, and the savans of, this country, take pride, in contributing.,thoir.efforts, to. promote, its objects. . „ , ; Profespor .Joseph Homy, who is at the head of the, Smithsonian Institute, (bom in Now Jersey,) Is one of tho moat remarkable men of tho age. Self taught, without.the:.benefit,of an early classical education,-his, inquiring. and .vigorous mind and uhwoarying industry, even -in his;youthful days, called him Aem the huinbler.walks in. priyatelifo to the professorship of one of the oldcstpublio schools of the country, at Princeton, in his own State. His discoveries in electricity are, in tho Unltod States, second only to those of Franklin and. Ritton house. You must havo noticed that within the last fow days he presented to the association for tho pro motion of American Science, which met in Spring field,' Maes., a paper of remarkable character. This document; in referring to the various theories in re lation to winds,;&o«, assorted os a foot that he had ascertained by experiment, the truth of a statement mode by him, that howos onabled by telegraphic, information received at Washington, from Ginoin nati, and othor points, as to winds, to predict with cbttainty,. at Washington, whether, tho noxt day would be clear or-cloudy, warm or cold, and whotber it would rain or shine, and thus, to. nse hla own lan guage, (( deride whether or not to have a meeting of the Smithsonian Institute to hoar a lecture on the noxt ovenieg, or to postpone it.” The correct ness of this novel theory, I- learn, has been verified again and again at this place, and Is the most import ant practical fact that has been elicited during tho several years of tho existence of tho scientific asso ciation. ! This is only one of the achievements of -Professor Henry, and 1 mention it to show you the character .of tho man who regulates tho Smithso nian Institute. - , • The edifice in which tho institution is located (though much criticised) is, In my Judgment, tho most appropriate structure in the t United States- The design, though in some .respects fanciful, pre sents to tho mind, os, was intended, striking em-‘ blems of the progress of man since tho dawn of Christianity. Wo have the Norman or Romanesque, style illustrating the, early ages—the fortress and the monastery. {then literature, tho arts, mechanics, music, chemistry, Ac,, ending with the typo of liberal Government, civil liberty, and afreo churoh. The length of.the building is 450 feet { Us breadth,. 140 feet; and it has.mne towers, some of which are. geyenty-fiyq feet high. The lecturo room Is ca pacious enongh to hold two thousand auditors. The museum of natural history is two’hundred feet in longth.. Thero is a superb laboratory, and library .room large enough for ?no‘ Hundred thou sand volumes, and ngaliniy for pictures and sta tuary,.one, hundred and twenty-foot In length, which may be foundsomo Very interesting—thought not,in,every caflOQrti|tio— portraits. In all such enterprises ns this there must bo a beginning, and has been freely indulged in regard to tbo Stpithsonlan Institute. Ugly quarrels have, arisen between various scientific men. Thbro were early &otions in tho Board of Regents, how, happily stiltod, and Professor Henry haS had a merry time of it since he hashed tho relps, The conflict be- THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1859. tween Henry and fewett, with all its details, re* t minded me of manyjauuther intestine warfare, which, while those .imme diately engaged, waff^lßfemibly,amusing to'the. outside Professor Hcnry oop- ; quered, and Jjis'di&cpmfltod- adversary "com pelled to withdraw vss' beaten forcer, froni the field.

The opponents of tho institution urge against it that it is a contrivance tb drill science in to official rontlne, and to control and monopolize, and thus cramp and fotter, the.osplrant of talont, unless he first recoivo - tho imprimatur of .the institution, and that too many of tho Regonta are mere polUiotans with scarcely a smattering' of eoientifio 1 knowledge. Many advocate the adoption by tho institution of some practical means for. the benefit of th# agri cultural interests of the country, by soiontlfio.agri-. cultural essays, and the removal thither of all apper-' taming to agrioulturo from tho PatontOffioe, whioh. has become a mere machine for tho gratification of tho little personal partialitlesof the members of Con gress, and whioh, In the ohaige of’.tho Smithsonian Institute, would bo administered With a strict, dn* selfish, eye to the welfare of'tho vast agricultural interests of the country.''

In making the'introduction, Mr. Florence perpetrated*a very painful pun, in representing them os “ having abandoned .the Shooting stick, and - taken up the walking-stick,’? ■ bint he left. out' the ,composing stiok, which is probably owing to the foot that tho Colonel was' bred to another occupation, is not a printer, and never was; Tho remark of the - Colonol, that the gentlemen he introduced,though not ag wiso as serpents, were as harmless os doves,” was aaomo wbat equivocal compliment; Happening to bo pre sent at this interview, and hearing Col; Florence (who has been oonneoted wUha numbor of profit less newspapers in Pennsylvania, and who is an exceedingly obliging and clever gentleman) tnlk all this nonsense; about things whioh ho. did.not understand, Hooked steadily upon the President, and saw at once that he was not disposed ta,tom mit himself by making a speech. Of all men on earth, the journeymen printers—particularly dhose identified withnewspapora-rnro the mostdisorimi nating; and, as I know that there was more than one of the company present attdehis of The Press, the President must have anticipated thut thor® was “ Acbiol among them takin’ notes, " - au. f faith iie’ll pront'em;” and therefore ho gave the typos a graceful shako of the hand and bade them good-bye.
