TIM West Indian interest no longer ce,nceal their expectation that, in the next session of Parliament, the Beane Administration will propose to prolong, if not to perpetuate, a differential duty ..if about is. a cwt. ou foreign sugar. They go further, and boast that to such a proposition no serious opposition will be offered by some of the leaders of the old anti-corn law agitation. Therein, however, they will be mis taken; for the determination of all Freetraders, so far as in them lies, is to settle at once and fur ever tho commercial policy of the country on the basis of trade unrestricted by import ii.uties except for revenue purposes. To permit their of an exception to this great principle in too important an article as sugar, would amount to keeping open for continual discussion and for con stant irritation the whole question of free imports. It would be unjust to the people of this country, and it would be injurious to the colonies concerned ; for until they can be convinced that absolute freedom of trade in sugar is a fundamental and fixed polio, with the mother country, they will never adapt the.. selves to the actualities of their position. That the state and condition of the West Las Islands require grave attention and the most sarloas consideration—we will even add the liveliest lateral of the Government and public at home—ia Trey co , ta'. But that interest must be given on salad economical principles, in accordance with what jos tke renders due to the community hem, and to the real, not to the artificial, wants of these colonies. Now Protection to any amount or to any extent in the home market for their sugar is altogether an artificial want. It might raise the price of labour a little in the colonies; but it would aggravate their real evils, —which in the main are of a social character,--by in ducing their proprietary to lean on the aid of others instead of relying on themselves fur future safety. So thinks Governor BARKLY, of Guiana, himself a large landowner and cultiistor in that colony • for in ore of the latest despatches he addressed to Lord GREY, he sensibly remarked : The diaasten of the past must be regarded by the West Indians as irremediable; the d.ingers of the future are, I feel sure, capable of being surmounted by a vigorous and prnlent mune of action, provided it be heartily united is by the most infoeat,al !neaten of the community. If, instead of adopting these conclusions, such gentlemee con tinue to place their ode tiliance upon a restoration of pro teeond duties, sot only will much good be left undone, bat I !car that they may actually succeed is !wincing So pins %Omelet, these men prophet-see of utter runs. No doubt they will; and that is the danger of the West Indies. So long as they have any hope of per petuating differential duties on foreign sugar, so long will they "potter" on in an ill system of culture, neglect science in their manufacture, and allow the social organisatiln of the colonies to run riot, as it now does. Just read the following extract from a report in Ifiell of Stipendiary Magistrate Caaam on his district, in the colony imationed : leepruremaras us Aprecultsua owl liarstifiscarres introduced this llelneere.

And this is the style and system of agriculture which the I)EaBT cabinet proposes to protect at the expense of the English people. Why, it will be =ig sloth and negligence, and incapacity, and Ina country where labour is scarce, rational, earnest, enterprising men resort to substitutes for manual labour. Not so in the British West Indies. There, as the command of labour diminishes, they claim to be compensated out of other people's indus try fur its loss. "The use," says Stipendiary Msgis trite AC6IOI, " the use of the plough, reported in December, 1848, and Jane, 1849, appears to have been diatoontinoet• And because they won't put their hands to the plough, they are to be allowed to put them into oar pocket.. Part of the sesreity . of labour in the West Indies is, without a doubt, ow ing to protection. For whilst they had a monopoly for their produce, after full emancipation, in this country, the profits of that monopoly went to the labouring dames, who, in consequence of their numbers, had command of wages. The result is that in many of these colonies particularly—the present property of the emancipated peasantry exceeds in value that of their former masters; and being well off thereaids in towns and refuse employment insaw Bald.. I. other parts this scarcity of labour is owing to the superabundance of waste lands whereon the peasantry can squat. But for this squatting society In these possessions is mainly responsible. For what has it done to render continued residence within the pale of civilisation attractive ? It has placed no reliance on the civilising and binding in luences of sound social organnation, . operating slowly at first, but with a progresnve fares ; it has maintained high import duties on flour and luxuries, and so suspended the power of imported commodities to act as stimu lants to industry ' • it has not provided for the reli gions instruction of the peasantry or for the educa tion of their children, high isdatecnents though such agencies be to systematic occupation ; nor has it even established any effective system of police to restrain crime. Over and over did Earl GREY draw the atten tion of the to these matters ; repeatedly did be show li tt res ehat important abets on labour they would have; and frankly did he tell them that ahem all things what they first wanted was social orgombodom They . replied by talking of slavery, the gimbals, protection, and such other idle babble, as if prorperity were to be imported like a bale of eaten goads, and profit for colonial roger was an obligation binding by the moral law on the con sciences .f the people of England. What the West Indies so&r from is not imperial legislation; for it, in emancipating the slaves, saved them from certain insurrection and probable revolu tions; and, in throwing open our sugar market to the world, it relieved them from the power of the peasantry over wageseffect of which was immediately to be seen and felt in increased production and e • of sugar. It is not im perial legislation, bat local disorganisation they suf. fer from. Society, under freedom, has been allowed to run to seed. Ths masters have sought only for, labour, without thinking of, caring about, or pro viding for the wants, moral and physical, of free labourers. They have neglected those duties which are higher than growing canes; but which, when fulfilled, would have had a powerful influence in the sugar fields. Dull, dense, selfish, and corrupt as a body, they have acted on their coarse, material, narrow, and short-sighted instincts, and never risen to any comprehensive view of their own best and permanent interests. As the language of CICERO to CASCA was Greek Indeed," SO the despatches of Lord Garr were unintelligible to the planters. But now, having got a congenial ministry in power, we at hems have, it seems, to pay the piper. West Indian prosperity is far more dependent on moral and social agencies than on anything else. Governor BARELY cleverly describes the ten deney of the negro to squat up rivers and oaths creeks of that colony far beyond cultivation as an "internal hemorrhage;" adding, "no stimulant, whether of immigration or otherwise, can restore a healthy action until it is stopped." Protection prices for,gar, it is clear, are powerlem to manage this bleed ing in the colony it is boll remedies and applications only that can be succeestally resorted to; and the chief of these must, it is self-evident, be to render cultiva- I tioa and employment more attractive than waste land sad idleness.

The Iranderer of Vienna states that the algoratio treaty by which Wurtemberg is to accede to the Amato-Bavarian treaty on the navigation of the Danube has been oonoluded, and that the ratification will take place very shortly. rho Presse of Vienna says that the lines of rail way which are to be established at the expense of the state will be constructed by the troops. The government is endeavouring at present to 'give a greater extension to the steam navigation of the Danube. It has engaged in Belgium fifteen captains for its vessels, who have already taken their depar tare for Ling. The Austrian steam service will extend from Vienna to the Black Sea. _ _ . The government has likowiso charged M. Mania, a geologist of Milan, to proceed to Greenland to examine the mines lately discovered there.

PARIS. haul BYRN !NO. MM. de Persigny and Biases baying returned to Paris, the Moniker contains Mims aplacing that the ail est. rim administration of the department of the Interior, entrusted to M. Magne, - minister of public works, and that of finance, confided to M. Abbatucei, minister of Justice, will cease from to-day. All the ministers who have been absent at the councils-general are expected in Paris by Sun day. 'the Mositeur contains a decree issued pursuant to the decree of March 27, Ili 2, relating to sugar manufactories, whereby power was reserved to the government to regulate the conditions of the exereire of the trade of a manufacturer and refiner of sugar, to fix a manimuni duty, the mode of collection, to de fine the products that may be received iu sugar houses, and what may be sent.out of them, and ge nerally to frame regulations for the conduct and sur veillance of the trade. By another decree 300 hectares of land near Con stantine, in Algeria, are leased at a nominal rent to M. Sint Cyr Lombard, for the purpose of a breeding stud. A report by Oeneral St. Armand states that the breed of hon ies n Algeria has become much deteriorated, owing to the long coutinuanoo of oar in that country, and the conquest of the native tribes. To remedy the evil, depots of stallions were established by the government is every province so long ago as 1842, These, although they have done much good, aro far from sufficient. M. Saint Cyr Lombard undertakes to keep forty mares and ten stallions, to be approved of by government inspectors. By decrees of the President a credit of 330,000 fr. is opened to the Minister of the Interior for the ex penses of the fete of the 13th August, and a credit of 40,000 fr. for the expenses of the colours of the national guards. It will be remembered that the above expenses of the fete are independent of an equal sum voted by the city of Paris, so that the whole cost of the metropolitan rejoicings of August 16 considerably exceeds 40,0001. sterling. The serious disturbances in Oaudaloupe that fol lowed the arrival of the red republican judge, M. Charles Dein, have not until today been alluded to by the government journals. The Patric now de fends the appointment upon the ground that the pre sent government derives a great part of its strength from a spirit of conciliation which tends to attract all penitents of whatever party, and to merge their for mer opinions in the idea of France regenerated by Louis Napoleon. The nomination of M. Dein was made in conformity with this principle. The go-' vernment had nothing to do with his political ante cedents. It was enough to know that he had com- ' pletely rallied to the policy of December 2, and that he was not guilty of the specific acts alleged against him by the colonists. Upon this latter point it is announced that M. Dain is prepared with proofs. A contradiction, by authority, will be published, and then it will bo for the people of Onadaloupn to ac knowledge that the conciliatory policy adopted by Louis Napoleon can alone satisfy all the interests which it is his duty to pretect. The Parity says that order is completely restored in the colony. This is, 1 believe, the case. But, judging from the tone of the petitions signed, as you may remember, by the principal inhabitants, there is much reason to think that the existing tranquillity is based upon the ex pectation of a different answer to their remon strances. They were evidently in no dispo sition to be made contented with their new judge by an official declaration that there is nothing against his private character. They kuow him as a prominent red republican socialist—as a leader of that band of " robbers " and " cut-throats," from whoa barbarous hands they have been taught to believe France was saved by the coup rtjtal, and they mistrust a sudden repentance, proved only by the acceptance of a place. The tress., registers its warning with the simple remark, that it is now on a par with the Constaler amine:, which has also received its two i warning. I fear that this is but a poor consolation. There s rea son to believe that measures of great severity are in preparation against the press of Paris. It is naively said in government circles that the present organisa tion of Journalism is anomalous, and that at no former period did the newspapers so little represent public opinion. In support of this assertion it is observed that out of 11 leading journals printed in Paris only 2 openly and avowe dl y support the government. A third Journal (meaning the ansaittaionosel) seems ani mated by good intentions, which however it manifests but seldom, and with reserves too subtle to be properly appreciated by ordinary readers. The minister of police is meditating how to bring the whole Pari sian press to an uniform sense of its mission, as he understands it. This worse, if persevered in, must end in the extinction of all the independent journals. The Indlpesdance Beige was again seized at the post-office yesterday. A seizure of arms has been made at Marseilles, in the house of a man named Moretti, who is in custody. The arms consist of seventeen carbines, twenty-one muskets, and several pistols and bayonets. But although the Cow/Tier of Marseilles speaks of the discovery as important, there seems little reason to doubt the truth of the story told by Moretti, which is, that the arms were deposited with him by an amourer as a security for money, and that they are part of a stock manufactured in 1848 for a company of foreigners. A dispute, in which swords were drawn and blows inflicted, took place on the 26th ult., at Saumur, be tween some officers of the cavalry school and some citizen& By the interference of the police the com batants were separated before anything very serious had occurred; one person, however, was wounded. The cause of the quarrel h as not transpired, but a legal investigation has been instituted. An exception to the general course of the munici pal elections has occurred at Toulon. Opposition candidates have been elected in 6 divisions out of 8. The cotton spinners of Lille have addressed a letter to the president of the Chamber of Commerce there, requesting him to represent to the council general the alarm which the new commercial con vention with Celgium has mimed in the trade. The Consultative Chamber of Roubaix has also made similar complaints. Since the terms of the maven , tion have been numerous orders have been counter mended both at Lille an: Roubaix, and fears are entertained that large muses of factory people may be throe n out of work. The Ihike de Broglie is at present at Copet, at the seat of Madame de Steel, of which he is the owner. M. Lamartine is negotiating for the sale of his estate in Turkey to some English capitali s t s . Th e affair is not without difficulties, because the common law of Turkey is opposed to the ? possession of any large quantity of land by • foreigner. The Sultan made an exception in favour of M. Lamartine on personal grounds, and it is not certain that he can be induced to allow his bounty to the poet to be made the subject of a transfer. Cardinal Wiseman presided on Tuesday at the in auguration of a new establishment of Franciscan monks at Amiens, where that fraternity has just purchased the house of the missionaries of th e Holy Ghost. The Bishop of Amiens, accompanied by his chapter and the clergy of the town, were present at the ceremony. Cardinal Wiseman performed mass, and afterwards delivered an energetic speech. He left for London the same evening. M. Jules de Lastcyrie has arrived in Paris from London. --------- , The La•lxds ha. the following on the official return. published by the administration of the customs : The customs .dmini•tratioo has jest published its annual tables of the exterior commerce of France in 18:$1. It is a large work of .100 pages, in which, however, everything is etym. , ' and damnified in the most intelligent way; and it Is certainly the best publication of the kind for all whe, from study or business, have to consult commercial sta tistics. A great improvement has added to Its value - for some years past—the reelastleit into &Mud or real value of the old °Adel vales whisk the esereee applied to goods during tweatr awe pan.

We mast not, however, lose sight of the im- Portant* of war colonies, under the double relation of ' maritime interest and a national market ; and it is to be remarked, besides, that their exchanges with the mother wintry were increased in 1851 by nearly 60,000,000 fr. Another observation arises from the examination of these tigers', namely, the eaormous superiority of exports over import.. The former exceeds the latter by nearly one half That may be explained by the fact that we purchase from foreign countries a good deal of raw materiel, which we after , , wards export after giving it a high value in its manufactured state. The difference, however, may be partially made up by movements of money, which, represented by paper, neces sarily escapes the control of the customs. Now if the general figures just cited, be reduced to their real value, we find the imports fall to 1,094,000,000 fr., and the exports to 1,620,000,000 fr. The total of real values is then 2,614,000.000 fr., the real amount of our foreign commerce. This makes a difference between the two compared velucs of 173,000,000 fr., which may give the sufficiently exact ex pression of the fall which has taken place :n merchandise within twenty five years. That valuation must be two into account in the figures which follow : Out of the 2,7117,000,000 fr. of goods which we exchange abroad, 767,000,000 fr., or abseil 28 per ant., belonging to transit, and re-exportation; and thus represent the share which foreign goods take in our na tional commerce properly so called, that is what is designated special commeree • this, in 1851, was 2,020,000,000 fr., or in actual value, 1,924000,000re—0f which 766,000,000 fr. were imports, and 1,151.000,000 fr. ex ports. In those figures we see, and in a stil more marked manor, the ruperurity of oar sales over our purchases abroad. But what is remarkable is, that this superiority exists only for the commerce by sea. For the operatloas by land, it is the contrary, ea will be seen by these figures: —Commerce by sea :—lmportation, '736,000,000 fr. ; exportation, 1,366,000,000 fr.; total, 1,999,000,000 Ir. —Commerce by land . —lmportation, 423,000,000 fr.; ' expertatioo, 365,000,000 franc, ; total, T 88,000,000 • franca. Thus, cur maritime commerce amounts to nearly 2,000,060,000 francs, which is about the third of that of Great Britain. Of that there is conveyed by na tional vessels 953,000,0001r. ' or 48 per cent.; and by foreign vessels, 1,046,000,000 fr., car 62 per cent. Their part is, our ' readers sea, a little larger than ours ; but in the tonnage, Ike properties is still more favourable to them. Foreign toady TY& bring us almost all heavy or cumbersome ' utiliser* 2,389,000,000 tons, whilst the French have 1,699 tau; that is the foreigners have 68.4 per cent., , and t Frisch 41.6. And the latter proportion has de clined, it having been in 1850 43.5. Our maritime corn ' merce is then far from being in a state of improve ment, and its situation amidst the general progress of other countries appears to us to demand the most serious attention of the government. To complete the general Ilene( the foreign comment of France which we have traced,' we must make known the variations it underwent in 1851. • In vain*, it increased on the whole by 82,000,000 fr., of which 76,000,000 fr. were in our own exchanges, and 6,000,000 fr. in transit. In 1850, our commerce increased by 140,000,000 fr. • in 1849 by 650,000,000 fr. ; after having fallen 600,000,000(r. in 1848. The increase of 1851, though notable, was far from equalling what it was previously. The augmentation was besides only in exports; in imports I there was even a decrease of 16,000,000 fr. On the whole, . however, the commercial year 1831 may be considered a good one for France. At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. rose , 40c., closing at 105.70; the Three per Cents. rose , 35c., and closed at 77J5. Bank of France shares , rose 10.

Letters from Rome speak of new arrests at Spoleto and other parts of the Roman territory. Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 27th August, states that the Pope was reported to have manifested his intention of setting Murray at liberty on condition of hisleavingtheßoman States forever. A clandestine pamphlet on Murray'scase had been pub- I ished,called " English diplomacy and Roman liberty." some of Murray.' fellow-prisoners were expected to be executed.

The au thorities have taken every possible precaution, con sistent with the public form of the trial, to exclude spectators from the audience hall, and to prevent them from lounging about the neighbourhood. The greater part of the hall is appropriated to the bearers of tickets, which are very difficult to obtain, being only granted by the president of the tribunal. The foreign legations have been but meagerly supplied, only one ticket, and that not transferable, having been sent to the head of each mission. The small portion of the hall open to the public is filled at an early hour, and the gendarmes then prevent any one else from approaching the entry. Yesterday the proceedings of the tribunal com menced by the reading of the act of accusation. After this document was read, the President pro ceeded, according to law, to explain it to the pri soner. After these preliminaries will come the question of the competency of the tribunal, Guer ra:xi having declared his right, as minister of a constitutional sovereign, to be tried by a court of senators. This will probably bring on a long discus sion, but the lawyers may talk as much as they please, the government has its own plan of action, to which it will adhere. Colonel Spanocehi, whom I mentioned as having been arrested at Sienna, has been taken to a mad hospital, in accasqoanoe of his refusing to take any nourishment. la the hospital, food has been admi nistered to him by forte. It appears that the police delegate at Sienna, named Mori, was stabbed about three weeks ago, and sea town fell upon a certain Cimballi, who was arrested in consequenon Nothing mild be proved against him, but in the progress of ppnifieng him with respect to the movements of the liberal party, he made some revelations which led to extensive arrests. The Grand Doke has left the baths of Lucca. People seem to interest themselves very little in his movements. Sir Henry Bulwer is still in Florence. The Gonfaloniere of Florence, Capponi, has this morning published a notification, reminding electors that the municipal council is to be renewed on the 20th of November. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 28th ult. publishes a royal decree, appointing a commission to report as to whether it is practicable to abolish the tax upon tobacco and salt, and adopt other and satisfactory means of supplying the deficit which this abolition would cause to the public revenue. It appears that the tax on tobacco produced in 1851, 187,645,313 reels; but the cost of collection was not less than 75,314,616 reels, so that the net returns to the state were little more than 112 millions. The gross returns for salt were 98,171,687 reals, but the net return* were only 74,108,237 teals. A Madrid letter states that the government has approved of the propositions that have been made to it for the con struction of a railway from Cadiz to Seville. The above journal of the 29th publishes royal decrees opening credits for the expense of clothing and arming the levy of 10,000 men decreed in March last, and for the preliminary expenses of surveys, &0., f or rail. roads. PORTUGAL. The Oriental Company's steam-packet Madrid, Captain John Weeks, arrived at Southampton yes -1 terday, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. Thomu White Purver, R.N., admiralty agent. Her dates are, Gibraltar, August 24 ; Cadiz, August 2 , 5; Lisbon, August 29; Oporto, August 30; Vigo, ugust 31 The Madrid brings 31 first-class passengers, among whom are Sir James Cochrane, lady, and daughters; Countess Ilurcellos, Don Agustus Mendonea, from Lisbon; Lieut.

Marshal Saldanha and his colleagues de clare that, considering the powerlessness of the Chamber to carry out the numerous reforms impe ratively demanded in the public interest—an inabi lity, which is ascribable to the divisions which reign in the parliabent—tho government has preferred to take upon itself the grave responsibility of extraor dinary measures, even to dissolving the Cortes and decreeing taxes, rather than prolong a situation which ism the highest degree prejudicial to the wel fare of the nation. The government is well aware that, in taking this course, it exposes itself to the risk of being blamed by a future Chamber. It is exosedingly averse to exceptional measures, but it has no alternative. All it asks is a truce, in which useful and loyal work may be done, and the country be led back to a state of political tranquillity and public reform. LISBON, Aro. 29. The dismissal of the Viscount de Garret bas been fol lowed by that of &Tibor Seabra, minister of justice, whose portfolio is now provisionally held by the minister of the interior. Notwithstanding that the decree dieolv;ng the Cortes appoints the first day of October for the meet ing of the new chamber, it cannot be said that the end of the dictatorial reign is even in sight. No progress whatever has been made in preparing for the new elections, nor can there be before the promulgation of an electoral decree. Of course the government cannot hold out the hand to the Cabralists, and with the Progresistas it is as far as ever from a union. Meanwhile decretal legislation goes on. The reduction in the customs duties on certain articles is a wise measure, and the result of the report made by the commission appoiated last year. The commission still sits, and is likely to pro• pose important reductions in respect of colonial produce. Military insubordination, almost amounting to attempted insurrection has taken placeatValencia, the watchword being " Viva the Count de Santa Maria," " Death to the old one (Saldanha); but the energy of General Cabreira speedily re stored order. These efforts are m uc h t o b e regretted, as they show that private soldiers would run such risks unless the secret springof some near authority impelled them, and who would be ready to sustain an act when it could show a bold and menacing front. It appears that the Portuguese possessions in India (Goa) are still a prey to civil war, ezeited by the arbitrary mode in which the local government has been and is car ried on. _ _ --- 'l ; laTPrince Regent, Albion, Retribution, and Leander nine to anchorage in the Tagus yesterday about noon.

Henry Sexton, • bras, finisher, stated that he had worked with dec eased in the service of lir. Darker. On Thursday afternoon last, the deceased had charge of a wrought iroo boiler, which was intended for an hydro electric machine, ordered for University College, which they were fitting up wesserling to the original plan.

The deceased thoroughly understood the nature of the work he was en gaged in, and although only a small portion of the boiler had been In d witness cod not believe it was defective in any way. The boiler was always tested and heated by placing Ito, the forge fire. They had tested many others in the same way, but had an accident before. Mr. Darker was also mach Injured about the head and body, and at present was lying in a very dangerous state. William Weaver, another workman, was examined at great length, but he was unable to account for the bursting of the boiler. He did not consider it dangerous to test them in such a manner. It the Iron was defective, they had no other means of detecting their imperfections. James Farebrother said the deceased made a statement to his wife before he died to the effect that be had got the steam to • proper height, when Mr. Darker requested him to test it more. Deceased told him that it would be dan gerous, but Mr. Darker shifted the weight to the end of the lever, and directly afterwsrds the boiler exploded. The deceased's wife requested wittiess to make these facts known to the jury, as she considered them important. Mr. Ransuill, the house surgeon, deposed to the deceased being admitted on Thursday afternoon, suffering from severe contusions and bruises on various parts of the body but, although every assistance was rendered, be expired on Friday (yesterday) morning. Witness had since made a post issorkon examination, and found that the deceased had died from an extensive rupture of the intestines, which had no doubt been caused by some heavy substance falling upon him. The deceased told witness he had been testing a small boiler intended for an hydro-eleetrie machine, when it burst. Other evidence having been adduced, the coroner re marked on the case. He thought there was no blame to be attached to anyone, for the deceased was considered Dilly competent to teat the boiler which had exploded. It was probable that the iron might have been defective, and caused the melancholy disaster; but they were to say whether any individual was to blame. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-0110 night last week, es GERMANY.

In consequence of suspicions entertained by the Postmaster-General that fraud to • considerable extent had been committed by some one eonneeted with the post-office at Ipswich, Mr. John Ramsey, the root-office Inspector- General, was sent down on Monday last to make inquiries.

The new ground extends from Swansea, the present western terminus, to Carmarthen, the capital of the southern prin cipality, end serves the towns, port, and villages°, Llanolly, Hurry Port, Pembray, Kidwelly, Llanatephan, Ferryside. and Carmarthen, about 30 miles of new railway, making altogether about 130 miles of line which will then belong to this company. An experimental trip has already been made along the new line. The event will be celebrated with general festivities, for which active preparations are in program. At a special meeting of the Carmarthen Town Council held to consider what steps should be taken to celebrate the auspicious event which will be of so much importune to the district, the mayor, W. Morris, Esq., with a high spirit of generosity volunteered to take upon himself the management of the intended festivities, and to defray their cost out of his own private purse. The council thankfully accepted the pro posal, and the present arrangements are that a spaniel train shall leave Swansea about mid-day, and that the directors ' shall be publicly received at Carmarthen, and entertained to a sumptuous defreater. The festivities will conclude with a ball in the evening. A considerable portion of the new line runs along the sea vide. OPENING OF THE MANCHESTER FRES LIBRARY. The public meeting on Thursday evening was very numerously attended, and took place in the institution, fa the same room as the meeting which had been held in the morning. Sir JOHN Porten occupied the chair, and opened the proceedings by calling upon Mr. Paul, secretary to the working men's committee, to read • report which they had prepared. The Bishop of MANCHESTER was received with loud cheers. He said The resolution which I have bees called upon this evening to propose is—" That this meeting hails with meet medial satisfaction the establish meat of the Manchester Free Library." I might stop there. I might say that the mere fact that the means of instruction and self-improvement arc open to a large body of our fellow-townsmen and our fellow-oxen is, in itself, an object of deep and cordial satisfaction. Bat the language of the resolution which I am called upon to move goes hardier; it enters into detail, and every circuit. stance of that detail, as we proceed, is moat sate.fiertory, and affords the moat ample grounds of congratulation " That this meeting hada with most cordial satisfaction the establishment of the Manchester Free Library in its two fold character, as a library of reference and as a lendi ng library." Now, what are these two characters ? I assume —I am PUTS—that I am addressing those who are friendly to the institution of the Manchester Free Library. I "mum, and am sure that I am addressing many of those who have formed part of the 22,000 who have so liberally come for ward, as we were informed by the report, to centribute their means of aid and support tothis institution. And beton I go further, let me say that I am sure I represent the feelings of a large population —nay, I may say of the whole of the subscribers of larger sums to this institution, when they wish their gilt to Ice considered not as a charity, but as a bond of brotherly and friendly union—(applause)—not as a means offered to the lower classes of redeeming themselves from an imaginary degradation, but as • tribute of respect and sympathy to those nobler parties among the lower classes whom they have seen, and know. sud loved, and taken to their hearts in respect and in affection, as seeking to ennoble. and to raise, and to dignify their class. (Ap. Plane.) It is, then, as a library of reference and as • ending library that we are called upon to express our satisfaction that this institution has been established ; as a library of reference, bee,use here we offer to the working man of Manchester the means of ascer. taming for himself, weighing for himself, searching for himself, the opinion of whatever mind he may re quire, or whatever branch it may be which Providence may have placed it in his mind to be anxious or eurioas about. Hut the resolution with which I have been entrusted goes yet farther. We are told—" This meeting desires to et. press its earnest conviction that this institution will conduce in }he highest degree to the intellectual and moral elevatem of The working classes." I have said already that, in addressing the meeting whom I have the pleioure of seeing before me on this occasion, I have iosumed that I am addressing these who are favourable to the pre. sent institution. At the same time, however painful may be the reference, while I recognise with plea.ure, and de light, and satisfaction, the interviews which, on many oc casions, I have had, both here and in London, with its u. tations and in lividuale of the working claims of Man chester and other diocese, I cannot but call—with rehire lance, yet at the same time under a sense of duty—their attention to the fact, how many there are among them who are not duly sensible of the dignity of labour, the privi. lege of work. I would ask all here present to go forth on • high and holy mission—the mission of al eking to impress their fellow-townsman with the advantages of institutions like this. I would ask them to end. avour as far as they can, publicly and privately, by le rsonal communication and by personal exerople, to show that every man among the working classes who endeavour. to raise himself, to raise that clue to whom he helongs, is the most real and vital benefactor to this great kingdom that can possibly be conceived. It is impos. sible to disguise from ourselves the paramount im portance that that public opinion should he rightly in formed, rightly instructed, and rightly directed. (Applause.) Have we selfish motives ? We proffer you no dogmas—we present to you no opinions of our owa—we point you to these walls, rich in literary treasures of past ages and the present, and we invite you fairly and freely to come for yourselves, seek for yourselves, inquire for yourselves, and umbly, earnestly, cautiously, carefully, and prayerfully to judge for yourselves . (Applause.) The resolution "aye that " the intellectual portioa of Manchester may, under Prori. dente, be largely beneflteed by this institution." I doubt it not. Ido not hesitate to appeal to this meeting, although am aware that there are present here some who differ, and widely differ from me as to the means by which that mea sure should be carried out. Ido not hesitate yet to appeal even to them to join with me in earnestly, sincerely, de terminedly, devotedly joining to sacrifice individual feelings and prejudices, and to determine under Providence that wo will never leave our efforts till we have secured to our poorer brethren the means of an unselfish, unbigoted, un pary system of education, in which all may partake. (Loud cheers.) I tell those to whom I am opposed upon thia question that, however much I reverence their zeal, ad mire their talents, or sympathise with their efforts, I foe one will never willingly forego the privilege of being allowed to carry out the duty which !dare not Orrick from, of teaching to all willing to receive it, the truth of which I am myself the professor, and in which I am a sincere be- Hever. But I tell them too, Iso far sympathise with them, I never will join in forcing it on the reluctant and un willing. (Cheers.) After an address from the Earl of SH•evzsavity, Mr. THA ex naa mid—Gentlemen an d I adin, I asked lean to address you, not because I knew how to speak, but be cause I think I have something to say which arises out of the speeches which we have heard just now delivered, in • very different strain, and in an eloquence much nobler and loftier than any that I can aspire to. You perhaps know that my calling in life is that of a maker of novels, a poor fabulist, whose good, so far as he can do it, is to represent the truth as ably as he can, and to find at 1 the end of his work a moral fo r his fable. (Cheer') If I had to write a novel now, gentlemen, or to make a fable, out of what is the reality, I would recur to books which of course I am in the habit of reading, u I am obliged to read them ; I would refer to some novels which a great number of you, I dare say, have read, and which I hope never will be upon any corner of this library—l would refer to a very celebrated French novel, which some of you have seen, and a very celebrated English novel, which I know has been sold ten, of thousands through all the tow ns o f th e world. The novels bear the same title ; one is called" Loa Mystery de Louden," or " the Mysteries of London ; " that is the Pa risian title ; and the title is the same, I believe of the English one. In the " Mystery" de Londres," I found a comic story which I think has rather • serious moral con nected with it. The famous French writer, who paned, I have no doubt, a fortnight is our metropolis, and who de. scribed our manners to a " T " afterwards—(Laughter)—• supposes himself at the Italian Opera in Loudon ; and he describes as seated in the omnibus box, my lord the Arch• bishop of Canterbury, witnessing the ballet, and delighting in the gyrations of the dancers; while all his ecclesiasti cal business was performed by a curate with 2001. • year. (Hearty laughter, in which the bishop joined.) I pledge my self to the exactness of the quotation, if any one will refer to to the venerable work in question. With regard to the "Mysteries of London," I have only tweets in my life engaged In the perusal of a part of that astonishing romance. On the first occasion, going through Brigh ton, and passing by the Brighton station, I pur chased sixpennyworth of this profusely illustrated document and I found that all through the sixs pennyworth, the late august, religious, and gracio us ki n g, his late Majesty George IV., whom I mention, I need not my, in terms of the deepest respect and grief,—his late Majesty George IV. was enraged, all through the sixpenny worth of numbers, in contriving the most atrocious schemes against the welfare of the female citizens of the middle and lower class. I lest sight of that book for two years; and again going upon the Brighton Railway—(a laugh)—l in dulged in sizpennyworth of the forbidden joy; and after two years, I give you my honour, I found his late lamented Majesty George IV. still going on with the same atrocious games which had frightened me on the former occasion. (Laughter.) And not only was the prince so engaged, but every nobleman of his court was similarly occupied, in destroying the peace of mind o f i n f e rior parties around him ; and every knight was emulating every sohiensan ,• and, in fact, the whole uppe r wor ld was suppose d to be in an immense corruption and a conspiracy f att e n% ) 1 the The.a w moraler world,of the to of w a ry you gentlemen, a and formadl . of part my ?able, comes now—and has been spoken to you, I think, in the noblest and most generous language by the revered prelate and by the beloved noblema n w h o have just ad. dressed you. Do you believe that these men are occupied in examining dancers from opera boxes, or in contriving ruin fur ladies' maids? (Cheers.) Do you not believe that these men are honest as yourselves, generous as yourselves, friendly as yourselves, eager to help you, and eag er to grasp the hand which I hope you are eager to render to them/ (Cheers.) I have passed many a year of my time as a liberal writer; please God, I am not going to recal the sentiments have been uttered by me in former days, not all of them ; but thank God, th a t I can rival a great deal of the ill feeling, which I telt in former days; thank God, that with a greater experience I have a greater charity; and it is from this, only from my feeling, that our cause, that our cause, my cause, and their cause, are in common, that I have dared to address you to night. (Great cheering.) The resolution was then put to fhe vote and carried unanimously. Mr. BRIOHT, M.P., proposed the second resolution, te this effect That this meeting regards the subscriptions of upwards of 22,000 persons connected with warehouses, factories, and workshops, in all parts of the borough, as conclusive proof that the working classes feel a sincere interest in the institution, and are prepared to benefit by the advantages which it provides." Mr. J °sera BILOTIIERTON seconded the TESOIRHOIS, which was carried unanimously. Mr. M. Mittens, M.P., moved "That this meeting de tides to express its gratification at the triumphant result of the late poll for a library rate, and to recognise the im portance of the rate in principle, as a guarantee for the per manence of institutions thus supported." The meeting was afterward. addressed by Dr. Watts and several other speakers. All the resolutions were car ried unanimously; and the proceedings terminated about half-past eleven o'clock.
