He reviewed the history of the Society from its formation on Sunday, Feb. 2 3rd, 1840. As the Hon. Gentleman has been an eye-witness of every event con nected with the Society from its inception in 1840, his address was listened to with great attention and interest, and, on resuming his seat, he was most enthusiastically applauded.
