Birks, M.A., said he admitted that there was a strong anti-slavery feeling in the country ; but. on constitutional grounds, there were many who sympathised with the South. If the Alliance intended to act on the principle that slavery was wrong is the abstract, that principle ought to be embodied in its WAY ; otherwise those who did not think it wrong In the abstract, though they might think it wrong in the concrete, were placed in a false position. The first mention of slavery is scripture was in connexion with a Divine promise,and in the last mention of it bond mid free were spoken of as in the same confederacy aphid Christ. Looking at the matter in the concrete, they would, of eourse, condemn slavery in every form, including the slave trade; but the moment they got beyond that, they entered upon delicate ground, involving difficult questions. If the Alliance entered into this political question, the doer would be opened ho collision ca other questions. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (lIIIITTEVE. TZLEGILLMS.) ITALY. TURIN, Ocr. 15.

Yesterday the British organisation.of the alliance commenced its sixteenth annual conference in the Free rosaons'.hall ; Sir CULLING EARDLNY presiding. There was a preliminary devotional service, at which the Rev. Dr. Macfarlane (United Presbyterian), of Clapham; presided, and delivered an address. The 'Rev. J. Davis, one of the secretaries, read the report, which was congratulatory in its tone. The year bad been beast with difficulties to the rogress of Christian union, the revival of historical recol lections bringing polo ta of ecclesiastical difference prominently before the public ; but the alliance had enlisted more mem. bees, lay and clerical. The last conference at Geneva had produced permanent results there and on the continent. lo connexion with the Exhibition, besides originating special services, foreign visitors had been entertained by the presi dent, and by private members of the alliance. The financial statement showed that the total income from all sources and for all purposes had been 2,0301. • and when all liabili ties had been met, there would be a b alance of 1921. against the alliance. The reporte were adopted ; and Sir Culling Eardley, who had hitherto been president of the council only, was elected president of the British organiantioo, fail ing health having rendered him unable te discharge the duties of the chairman of the council. Resolutions were then discussed and adopted relating to the internal operations of the alliance and to a week of special prayer at the commencement of next year. With reference to the persecutions of protestante in Spnin, the Chairman said that their brethren, Matamoros and Al bania, were in prison under • final sentence, and the only question for the alliance was— What can be done! Let it be known what the sentence was. On Monday, Mr. Renter telegraphed to Spain, asking certain specific questions, sad the intelligence in that morning's papers was an answer to those questions. Matamoras recently wrote to • friend in England that the Queen of Spain was expected at Grenada, ! in the course of a tour she was making to the chief cities of Spain. Her Majesty was to arrive at Grenada that day week ; and it was unlerstood that Sir Jehn Crampton, British Ambassador, was to have an interview with her there, and that the intention of government was that the Queen should announce the pardon of Matamoras and Alluuna. Instead of their pardon, intelligence had been received of their final condemnation. For some days it was considered that the two things might be compatible, sad that the government had so arranged that the trial and the final appeal should take place just before the visit of her Majesty, that she might have the honour of pardoning the prisoners ; but all hope of that was now relinquished. The telegram which announced the final sentence also stated that her Majesty bad been at Grenada, and had been received with demonstrations of loyalty and patriotism. Their brethren had been tried for the crime of protestantism, and nothing else. Efforts to bring other charges against them had been mad* and had entirely failed, and admittedly and avowedly they were to be punished for their religion. They were to be sent to • convict establish ment in Africa, sad there, in striped clothes, they were to taril gun.balls or do degrading work. The Spanish govern. malt was not proof against the power of concentrated public opinion. He suggested that in this country there should be extensively signed • declaration, very respectful in its terms, to the Spanish government and the Queen, appealing to the generosity and the justice of the Spanish nation, and referring particularly to what pro testant' had done for catholic in other countries, that the endorsement of our government should be obtained, and that this declaration should be taken to Madrid by an influential deputation. The Foreign-office was not cold on such matters, as some supposed ; it was a delicate thing for • minister to take the initiative ; but it was much less difficult to endorse the action of the church. Such an example would be followed in protestant countries ; and he believed that France and America would readily join them. If such a remonstrance as be bad indi cated were curried to the gates of the palace of the Queen, he believed that the whole Spanish nation would respond, and would refute to remain the only persecutors, with the exception of the Pope, on the continent of Europe. (Hear.) He had no doubt that the Prime Minister of Austria, Count Schmerling, would endorse such a prooesding. When General Alexander went to Madrid he had the support of the ambas sador of Russia, and he was also the bearer of a letter from M. Thouvenel to the French minister at the Spanish court, *perking in the noblest and most generous terms in favour of universal religious freedom. Marshall O'Donnell, the Spanish prime minister, was in favour of religious liberty ; but he had to contend against backstairs influence in the palace, and against all the power of the priesthood. If all Europe united in this appeal, the Spanish prime minister would feel strengthened to do what as • church man and a gentleman he was bound to do, viz., to liberate the sufferers, and to reciprocate towards protestants the generosity they had manifested towards his co-relir,ionisto (• Hear, hear," and applause.) The Rev. Dr. Massey moved a resolution expressing regret at the sentences and the non e:emit' of the royal prerogative, and remitting it to the council to take such steps as they might deem advisable under the circumstances. It also thanked Major-General Alexander for the services he had rendered by making • visit to Madrid with the object of obtaining the liberation of the prisoners. The resolution was briefly wooded by the Hon. and Rev. Leland Noel, and unanimously agreed to. In the evening there was a discussions pon - tii; best means of promoting Christian union, over which Mr. J. Hender son, of Glasgow, presided. The Secretary read a communi cation from Hr. Fish, the secretary of the Paris brinch of the Alliance, on the subject of the war is America. Sir Culling Eardley baviog addressed the meeting on tl•e same subject, a prolonged discussion took place. A committee was appointed to consider in what way the communication from Paris should be disposed of, and to draw up as address or resolution, if it were agreed to recommend one for the adoption of the Conference.

These lines were promoted by landowners sod independent companies, and opposed by the Great Wedeln Company, who, in the words of Nr. Noon, at the half-yearly meeting of the Loudon and North Western Company, must have spent sums "al. most fabulous" in doing so. They were, however, beaten, though they succeeded in cutting off a portion of the original scheme. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is, by property and family ties, intimately connected with the county of Flint, through which a considerable portion of the line ' ll ° B 9 lll db° hag *emoted to be present at an important ceremonial in the history of this railway. Wednesday next, the 22nd inst., has been fixed foe what is culled "cutting the firm sod" of the line, which task Mrs. Glads Moe, wife of the Chancellor, has undertaken to perform. In the afternoon of the lamp day the Chancellor of the Exchequer will preside at a cold collation at the Wyoustay Arms Hotel, in Wrexham, where a la le expected to assemble. Oa the morning of the 22nd the eorporatioa of Wrexham will present him with au addreas. The day will be observed se a pond holiday in the toms. LORD PALMERSTON AT SOUTHAMPTON. OPENING OF THE HARTLEY INSTITUTION. SOUTHAMPTON, WZMIMIDAT Emma. The Hartley Institution was opened with great ceremony to-day. The Mayor of Southampton (Mr. P. Perkins) and the corporation assembled at the Town-hall at noon, and from thence proceeded to the sewed Oessroseigate, the boundary of the borough, for the purpose of meeting Lord Palmer ston, and there • procession was formed. His lordship on joining the procession was greeted with enthusiastic obsess, and his passage through the town to the institution was quite an ovation. The areaway of inauguration took plaos in the lecture hall, whisk was closely p►cked, admission being by tickets issued by the corporation and the Hartley council, and the assemblage comprised • goodly porting' of ladies. Lord Palmentc•, on entering the room, was received with most entituslasSe plaudits. His lordship and Lady Palmerston haring been conducted to the platform by the Mayor, The TOWN CLUIL then read the address to his lordehip, which had been agreed to by the corporation. Lord PALIIIRSTON, on rising to reply, was repeatedly cheered. The of Boomer= then read several purees of Scrlp!iead 'evoked a blessing, after which the lateens _ Venal Ode was performed. The MAYOR rose, end, addressing Lord Palmerston, ob served that, having just bad the privilege of presenting to his lordship an address voted by the corporation of the town be now wished to request him, in the name of education and science, to confer an additional honour upon the town of Southampton by inaugurating the opening of the institu tion. (Cheers.) It was only a short time ago—indeed it seemed but yesterday—that the foundation stone of the building was laid. Upon that occasion the noble lord honoured them with his presence and support. After the lapse of nearly two years the noble structure had sprung into existence, end he thought Lord Palmerston would agree with him that it was • credit to the town. (Cheers.) It warns matter of congratulal ion to people living in these days, that they were enabled to enjoy the privileges and advantages which were to be derived from institutions of this character— privileges which were altogether an known to their forefathers, who had no institutios to fall back upon for the eolarge. meat and cultivation of their minds. (Hear, hear.) He thought they should be grateful that they lived in • day when in almost every great town throughout the king dom even working men had raised up temples dedicated to the promotion of • taste for literature, science, and art. (Cheers.) England was the foremost and the freest nation in the world, and it was pleasing to think that that result was owing in a great measure to education. Hie lordship I had ever been des iro us of doing all in his power to advance education, and it was most gratifying to find him among them, giving the prestige of his presences and sup port eieg to wtom .r the people . of h e n h ur m) pto T n be m re ore deli ws nglo man ited to honour, and they were proud that he had come persinally among them to inaugurate the opening of the institution. (Loud cheers.) Those who were now present would re member with satisfaction till the last hour of their lives the day when the premier of England, who in his hours of re laxation never thought of himself if be could gratify the people with whom he was identified, came forward to associate himself with them in the great cause of educa tion. (Cheers.) Lord Penteasrog, who on rising was received with re newed cheering and waving of bats and handkerchiefs. said : Mr. Mayor, and ladies and gentlemen,—l can assure you I that I feel that if honour there be on one aide or the other, the honour has been conferred on me, by being allowed to be present on this interesting occasion. It is interesting to me, because has ing been permitted to assist, I may say, at the christening of this child—(laughter)—l am sow present at its confirmation. (Cheers.) I trust its future life will be prosperous to itself, and will be an honour to the com munity to which it belongs, that it will be an honour and an advantage to the country. The people of Southampton are • gnat, flourishing, and prosperous community. You have a port admirably adapted to purposes of commerce ; you have docks fitted to receive—l am 'lorry to say—fitted to receive a larger vessel than her Majesty's dockyards can at present hold. That superiority on your part, I trust., will be of very short life. Youerill permit me, without offence, to say so. (Hear, bear.) You have an increasing popula. tion ; you have all the elements of worldly wealth ; but hitherto you have wanted that which is the completion of that state of existence—you have wanted an institution lik e this, where knowledge, where science, literature, and art might be cultivated as much as commercial progress in your town. That want is now supplied, and with the sup. plying of that want will go hand in hand the increase not only of your welfare but of your power ; for it is well said, and must be felt by all, that " Knowledge is power." Not I power simply is • community, but power in every individual member of that community by whom that knowledge is acquired. We have only to look around us in this great country to see examples of men rising from comparatively humble origin to great wealth, to high dignities, and to high employments in the state—and bow Why, by the cultivation of mind, by the know. ledge which they have acquired, and by the application of that knowledge to the business of life in which they may have engaged. Your courts of law, your parliament, your manufacturing communities, all abound with men Ailing to diatirction for themselv as, and performing great service to the country, owing estirely to the cultivation of those talents with which Providence at their birth has endowed them. Therefore I say that this town will greatly be ad vantaged by as institution like this, in which knowledge will be freely communicated to all who choose to come and drink at the fountain, where opportunities will be afforded to cultivate knowledge of every sort and kind, adapted to the natural talents and worldly occupation of those who are seeking it. But knowledge, ladies and gentlemen, is not simply a source of power. You may say that the love of power is a pushes duly implanted in the human mind; but that it sometimes may Ind to • course which may not re dound t 4 the credit of those who pursue it. But know. ledge is not always a source of power. It is a source of the purest enjoyment to those who possess it, and there is a natural tendency happily in the human mind to pursue knowledge. It is enough for a man to have gained knowledge to in ' duce him to go on kneeing, and every fresh addition which he acquires to the knowledge he has gained is au additional source of pleasure sad happiness to bin, as well as an ad ditional element of good conduct in the career which he pursues. The love of acquisition, the love of accumula• tion, is • natural instinct in the human mind. When • MAO begins to collect books, be is never satisfied without having more than his house will hold. (Laughter.) The man who collects medals fills all his chests of drawers with things that perhaps he may look et ; the man who collects pictures has his walla covered with the best speci mens of art which he can collect. In the same way, that principle of adding to that which has been begun applies to knowledge as well as to everything else, and the more • man knows the more he wishes to learn. and the more he ie able to learn, because knowledge of one sort lends easily to the acquirement of knowledge of another and a different kind. Well, then, I trust that this institution will not ably be • source of prcaperity to the town, but will hen source of happiness to the individual members of the community. As to the effect of knowledge upon national interests, your worthy mayor has just now pointed out that the great power, wealth, and prosperity of the country arises front the development of intellect, and from the progress of scierce amougst the different members of the community. Where should we be if it had not been for the researches of those great men who have given to the country all those resources of mechanical irdustry by which the wealth of the community and the power of the country have been nis:d to the position which they now fortu nately bold! In this institution you will no doubt have young men who here will acquire that knowledge and cultivate those talents which will not only raise them to a high position in the country of which they are membsti ; but will add materially to the wealth, prosperity, happieses, and power of the country in which they have been bon. You, Mr. Mayor, have called this building a temple. It is, uo doubt, to use classical ,I language,) a temple to the Mass—a temple dedicated to purposes more cougenial to the state of religion which happily prevails. It may be deemed to be not only a I temple of the Muses, but a temple also for the improve meat of religious feeling amongst the people of the country. I Some persona, in other times and countries, have held the ' doctrine that the knowledge and the cultivation of sei•oce were incompatible with true religion. Mere cannot peen- ' bly be • greater error god mistake than that. (Hear.) Suppose au ignorant man takes up • watch—suppose him to look at a steam engine. He will naturally imagine that the watch of its own accord tells him what is o'clock—that the steam engine of its owe accord twist, all those spindles which he sees ravelviog. He will never think how it is done ; be will be oontent with the melte. He will have no notion in his mind of the degree of talent which must have been required on the part of those who made three things. He will have co idea of the wonderful mechanism even by which those outward movements have been prodused. He will be content with results without thinking of OMNI& But show him that iugemous mecbaniam which makes the hands move, following the sun. Tell him of that wonder ful contrivance by which the steam elegise is worked, and then he will trampler is the maker of the ems and to I the author of the other those feelings of admiratjos which had not previously existed in his mind. In the same way, gentlemen, she ignorant man ems day end night suc ceed each other ; he sees the season, mucosa each other ; he sees the seed he has put into the ground rise into a profitable mop ; he sees all the op cations of nature, and it sever ocean to him to ,undress how all these wonderful opera tics, are brought about nor by what power they originate. He is conscious of his own ezietence ; he feels his body healthy or sickly as it may be ; he feels hunger come at on and thirst at another, and knows how to satiate both, but he is utterly ignorant of what a wonderful chem.= he is himself, sod his mind bee not bees lad to that source from wheats that wonderful mechanism has arise°, but when knowledge enlightens his mind, and when he sees the wonderful effects and contrivances of that Almighty power by which those results have bean brought about I say he must be • strangely orsistitated beirg indeed, if the feelings of religion are not more am ong in his mind, lead if the knowledge which he thus acquirel all the wonderful laws and contrivances of what we all nature, do not raise his mind to the Author of all these things and implant in his mind a feeling of religious awe and veneration, which strengthens those precepts which be may have received from his religious instructors. I say therefore that this is not simply a temple of Muses, but it will turn out • temple of those studies which tend to M- I crease and streughen the religious feelings of thosewho come within Its walls. I would only say therefore that I hope and trust that thin institution will long prosper, and that it will attain the end for which it hag been founded. (Cheers.) Now there are different ways by which knowledge may be acquired. Some contend that knowledge, in ceder to be deeply engravenin the human mind, mast be acquired by r u ttivestigation- i must be worked out by the individual No doubt that is the beet way to engrave know ledge on the mind of the man by whom It is attained ; but the pursuits of life prevent all but a very few from following that coarse. It is for those whose time is occupied in other pursuits that institutions of this kind are particularly valuable. You will have here men harmed m different walks of science, who will come and give you in a lucid, plain, and intelligent manner, the results of those long and laborious studies, of those patient sad long confined investigations by which they have arrived at their conclusioes. Those conclusions may, perhaps, not be so firmly impremied upon the minds of their hearers as they am on their own understandings, but still much will be learnt ; and it would be u idle and vain to say that mesh useful knowledge is not to be pitted by those lectures which will be I trust delivered within these walla, se to say a malt cannot learn geography by maps, but must go over sad sur vey the country bianaelf. It would be idle to lay that a man cannot acquire a deeply•rooted knowledge by listening to the discourses of those who have worked out results, although he might not be able to follow them in ill those intikate melee into which they got before they arrived at those useful result*. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I coops talste you most sincerely in having in your town an institution of this character. lam persuaded that all who can derive benefit from it, but more especially the younger part of the community, will take every possible advantage of it, and that it will tend not only to the prosperity of your town, bat also to raise the minds of all who oome within its walls to • higher scope of intelligence, by developing those talents with which Providence has endowed them, and by fitting them better than they otherwise would have been fitted to follow advantageously those different careers of life to which their fortunes, or tetrads and dispositions, may lead them to devote themselves. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Alderman BLATCH, chairman of the council of the institution, thanked his loedship in the name of the corpo ration, the council of the institution , and the town for attending to open the institution, an act which he said would long be cherished in the memory of the inhabitants. Professor Owes, in the absence of Sir Roderick Murchi son, who was unable to attend io consequence of ill health, briefly addressed the meeting in congratulatioe on the op portunities the establishment of the institution will afford to the advancement of science and the cultivation of gene ral knowlede. Professor g race also addressed the audience in a similar MATOC then called upon Lord Palmerston to form ally open the building. Lord PALmuresrox then came forward in the midst of greet applause and said—Mr. Mayor, ladies, and gentle men,—With your permission, Mr. Mayor, I will proceed to state a fact—l would hardly venture to make a prophecy —that this institution is now fully open. (Cheers.) if I were to presume to take on myself the gift of prophecy, it would be difficult to foretell the success which, I trust, will await its future career ; but I declare that the in stitution is now, under the =tiptoes of the Mayor, fully and completely open. This announcement was followed by enthusiastic applause. The proceedings terminated with three cheers respec tively for Lord Palmerston, Lady Palmerton, the Institu tion, sad the Mayor. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY Evicirnio. At the dinner given by the Mayor, among those present, in addition to the noble Premier, were the Bishop of Rochester, the Earl of Hardwicke, Colonel Sir Henry James, Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis, the Right Hon. W. Cowper, ML P.. Mr. W. Digby Seymour, M.P., Professor Owen, Ito. In responding to the toast of "Her Majesty's Ministers," Lord P.u.uxitirrou said—For myself and in the name of my colleagues, I beg to return you my most sincere and cordial thanks for the honour you have done us in drinking the last toast, and I only regret that some more of my colleagues should not have been present on this inte resting occasion, to see the manly and enlightened spirit by which the people of this town are animated in a matter of public interest and so conducive to the general welfare of all those who are concerned in the institution we have this day seen opened. I can assure you, gentlemen, that her Majesty's ministers are deeply sen sible of the great importance of encouraging by all means within their reach the diffusion of education within the United Kingdom. It has been our anxious desire that edu ction should be based upon a useful principle, that it should in every class tend to discipline and instruct the minds of those to whom it is administered in such manner as to render them during the rest of their lives not only useful members of the community, but also able artificers of their own fortunes. I may say, too, speaking in a town which is remarkable for its prosperity—l may say that it has been the constant object of her Majesty's government— and I will not take credit in that respect simply for those who now administer the affairs of the country—but it has been the constant object for • long time past of all who have been responsible for the management of national af fairs, to free the action of industry and commerce from all those shackles which the leas enlightened legislation of former periods had thought beneficial to be imposed upon it. It was thought, in times gone by, that although nobody would have taught a m►n to dance in fetters, it was useful for him to trade in fetters, and that the more industry and commerce were shackled by what was called protective legislation, the less free men were to employ their industry ►nd their capital in the manner which might appear to them to be the best, and the more would the prosperity of the country thrive. I remember that a foreigner who is thought to be • great theoretical philosopher, ad mitting that England prospered the more since the freedom of commerce had bees established, said, " Aye, it is true ; but you have been enabled to render commerce free by the prosperity which you have maintained under the shackles beneath which your industry has laboured, and therefore your mainpla is not one to be followed by other countries. We must wait till we have grows rich by impediments and obstructions before we can be willing to grow richer by having our limbs and our intellects rendered free." I say then that I think that corporate bodies, I will call them, of public men who from time to time have been called upon to incur the responsibility of conducting the affairs of the country are entitled to the ►pprobation of their fellow countrymen for many other reasons, but for two in particular which are most likely to be valued and appreci►ted by the assembly 1 am now addressing —first, by their anxiety to diffuse, as far as possible, among the people of the realm the blessings of enlightenment and education, and by their constant endeavours to free industry and capital from all those impediments and shackles skink oppressed this nation in former periods. The Earl of HARDWICK'', in responding to the toast of "The House of Lords," expressed his satisfaction at the discretion which up to this moment her Majesty's ministers hail displayed in the policy of non-intervention they bad adopted in the internecine struggle in America. He also expressed approval of the sentiment enunciated by Mr. Gladstone in his recent visit to the north, that Jeff. Davis had succeeded in forming in the Southern States • great and independent nation. (Cheering and marksof disapprobation.) Alluding to the topic of education the noble earl praised the efforts which had been made to promote that muss, urging that the item which had been taken in that direction had dorm more for the general advancement and well-being of the people than any extension ol the elective frasehise could ►ave dons. The Mayor of Soirrntirrron, in proposing the health of Lord Pennington, highly eulogised the services which the noble lord had rendered to she country during the Let sixty rum and declared his strong geonvietion that, so bon as the interest* et Weed were intrusted to his guiding's, there could he no fur that the ship weld weather any storm it might hare to encounter. The taut was drunk with peat enthusiasm. Lord PLLICMISTON in acknowledging the toast, after a few prolimbrity observations, proceeded as follows: With roped to thou particular public teiniacticiss to which my worthy friend the mayor has alluded, las take no pe culiar merit to myself individually. I have seknowledpd, in combination with public men of the highest order, that no peat national effort, whether it be for internal improve mut, national defence, or the assertion of national dignity and honour, can be asoomplished by any one single man. It requires • oombination of ability, energy, integrity, and skill, and that combination must be found in the members of the government in the first place, in the departments of the State in the next place, in the two services of the army end the navy In the last place ; and their combined action must be supported and confirmed by the voices of the representatives of the people in radium:it, and by the unanimous feeling of the British nation at large. (Hear, hear.) These are the conditions upon which ekes a snooessful adroinistastion can be carried on ; and I tetra that these conditions have been fulfilled in the tranuetione to which the mayor has referred. I can assure you that so long as we have the honour of receiving the confidence of parliament and our Sovereign, backed by the goodwill and the confidence of the country, we shall be encouraged by the support which we have hitherto received to puma that course which in our haslet and sincere consciences we may think beet ailenhned to promote the interests et the country and to cast aside all those political serums which parties bandy against each other. I am perfectly convinced that no administration—whether it is ours or that to whisk my noble friend belonged, and which may succeed us—that no administration of this country can continue for any time, however short, that does not act on this principle. I have that high opinion of the public men of this country to feel that from whatever side of the house they may come they will act on this principle, and will deserve, as long as they may hold office, the confidence end support of the country. I would only, in conclusion, relieve the mind of my noble friend (Lord Hariwicke) from any apprehension that by some peculiar construction of the toast in which he joined (" Her Majesty's Ministers "), he may have summed something like • want of allegiance to the party to which he beluga. (Laughter.) Let me insure him that verbally, critically. and logically, the toast which be drank was perfectly consistent with the views which he afterwards expressed. He drank the health of her Majesty's ministers. Now every man, let him be *verso little conversant with medical science, will know that the health of man is beet promoted by country air— (laughter)—by rural sports, by an abundance of exercise, by the absence of are and relief from labour—(laughter), —and, therefore, in drinking the health of her Majesty's ministers, critically, literally, and logically, my noble friend wished that we might aa early as possible he placed in the position which would be meet conducive to that health which he wished us to enjoy, and there are none of his political friends, however apt they may be to draw nice dis tinctions, who eukl reproach hint in the slightest degree for • having joined in that toast which was proposed and which he drank without the slightest hesitation. (Great laughter and cheers.) Lord Palmerston concluded by thanking the Mayor for the manlier in which his health had been drunk, and by seeming all present that the reception he had met with would be indelibly impreseed upon a grateful mind. The proceedings did not terminate until a late hour. THE SECRETARY AT WAR ON THE AMERICAN STRUGGLE. HEREFORD, WZDfIBDAT. The Herefordahire Agricultural Society held its annual meeting here yesterday, wham there was the usual great display of Hereford cattle, miter which the agricultu rists dined together. There was au unusually large muster at the dinner table, it being understood that Sir G. C. Lewis, her Majesty's Secretary at War, would be present. The chair use taken by Sir VELMA CORNWALL, and among the inane at the crow-table were Lord W. Graham, M.P., Sir T. E. Winaingtos, Bart., M.P., Mr. Mlldmey, LP., Yr. King King, M.P., Colonel Clifford, M.P., ice. Sir G. C. Latvia, in reply to the toast of his health, con curred in • wish expressed that war and war secretaries could cease ; but if it happened that • foreign nation thought we were unprepared, and wu tempted therefore to make a descent upon our shores, it would neither lead to honour nor to the intermit of this country that we should be found unready. He referred at some length to the distress prevailing is the cotton die tricts. lie expressed a hope that it would be of short duration only, and that the war which was now going on in the United States, and the blockade of the Southern States, which prevented the cotton from coming to this country, would before long come to as sod. That was • were commanded, and to the pertinacity with which the contest on their part had been waged, it could not surely be denied that they deserved the name of " belligerent " in reference to the unmoor la which they bad carried on the war against the United States. Godw these circumstances it seemed to him (Sir G. Lewis) that • more unfounded charge could not have been made against the government of this coootry than that of having deputed from the principle of strict neutrality by recognising the Southern States as belligerents. (Hear, hear.) But when the rovers meet was asked to go • step farther, and to say that the Southern States have constituted themselves an independent power, them it seemed to him that international law would not be on our side. Everybody who read the accounts in the newspapers of what was doing in America could see that although there was • war there between these two contending powers, it was • war which was as yet undecided—a war which was waged on the part of the Northers States for the pur pose of restoring the States to the condition of union they were in before the war began ; and on the part of the Southern States it was a war to establish their inde pendence. But the war must be admitted to be utdecided ; the battlefields were still reeking with the blood of thou sands of soldiers killed on both sides ; sad until the war had beau derided no one aide or the other, or until it had been decidedso far in favour of the Southern States as to induce the Northern Steen to recoguise their iodepandence, or to prove he foreign States that the contest was exhausted, sad that the Northers States were incapable of continuing the contest, until that moment arrived it could not be said, in accordance with the established doctrines of international law, that the indepeademosof the Southern States had been established. (Hair. hear.) He believed it was the general opinion of the ppeeoopple of this soustry that the contest would issue in the estaWshment of the iadepeodetice of the South. He himself did not express that opinion. but that was the general opinion in this country. Let them look to the state of ibises established between the par ties. It could not be said that the Southern States of the Unio.l bad de facto established their independence. That being • matter of notoriety, he could not think they wens guilty of any neglect is act in. cognising the independence of the Southern States. Hie noble friend (Lord W. Graham) had expressed a wish that be should give them some informatios as to the probability of our making • redaction is the national expenditure en account of the army and navy. He was afraid no great dimiontiou could be effected in the public expenditure on that account without sensibly diminishing the power and efficiency of those forces. (Hear, hear.) It might be that the allowance to the army and navy was greater than was required, and that mine redaction might be made next year; but the recent discoveries in science, and the consequent change in the arming of both army and navy, had neces sarily entailed great extra expenditure. The right hoe. gentleman concluded with some brief remarks ou the dis tress in Lancashire. The other toast" were chiefly of • local and personal character.
