Among the many benefits conferred upon maritime natiOns by men ol science, none, since the introduc tion of steam, rank higher in importance than the re- searches and labors ot Captain Maury. Perhaps the declaration of Humboldt, that to Captain Maury be- longedi tba distinguished honor,of having founded a that could be paid to scientific research. From this r t search tho Hutted Kingdom, as the bead and chief of maritime nations, is deriving un told advantages and wealth, and yet is the only mari time power in Europe that has not, publicly and offici- oilj recognised the eminent services of this distin guished nautical-Geographer.

As I have long known him personally as well as by his excellent works, effectively useful reshlts of far-seeing sud cumprehensito views, sixL-ss I have the -honor of filling sn office, hdpever unworthily, which was orii'iuew-d In eCmeeqataoeef his own exertions add advice, I suppose that no one con be much more interested in the Maury testimonial than myself. When Seccbi, of Roue,- mentions “H Maury;” he expresses tho feeling which ie-nog so widely and justly entertained for the man who has not only col- looted such stores of useful knowledge, but diffused it afterwards iu a most agreeable manner. His words have been translated into several lan gpoges*—a sure proof oi their value. Actual sfogou loads of Mtury'f charts and qnarto volumes of directions have been given away in Eng land, very many also in other oo|mtries.all distributed tree of charge to the recipients. Captains of ships have been tups especially favored. Opinions of their value have not varied since the first consignment reached the Board of Trade In 18544. No crltMiem can destroy the intrinsic value of such systems of average as those by which hid results were drawn from accumulations o: facta. Navigation has been greatly improved by his publi cations, and mm are' induced to use their own oppor tunities by studying his directions. I shall be proud of being enlisted in such a Com- sttee mb it is proposed to lorm, and although my owu time id ten much engrossed in pulic duties to admit of my tokiog au active part with you, my bedrty co operation otherwise, is uow, mud will be cheerfully tendered by Yours respectfully and faithfully, BOB’!

There ia some sympathy felt for bis untimely end from the fact that he has been at times an inmate of a lunatic asylum.
