" wards were devised with a " ledge of that class, and were well " considered. The purpose was excellent" object in view was, says Mr. Dissuru, to create in this class a feeling of self-respect, and we agree with him /bat it is a most excellent one. But how is this to be done f Clearly at the very outset it can only be effected by moral means. The very first step towards creating in a labourer a tue feeling of self-respect is to impress on him a sense of his individual worth and dignity and value. This can only be done by treating him with proper consideration and respect, by guarding against any infringement of his personal rights, any attempt to weaken or corrupt hi, respectful sense of ,-idi vidual freedom and independence. His common sense and moral sympathies must be appealed to through the powerful and persuasive medium of example. In a word, if he is to respect him self he must be treated with genuine respect by those who are socially his superiors. They must appeal to his sense of responsibility and his feeling of self-reliance by a uniformly just and generous behaviour in their dealings with him. If they are habitually careful to show this feeling of practical respect, even the most degraded and down-trodden working man will gradually acquire some sense of his personal worth, and set under a reviving instinct of self-respect. In a word, you must raise the whole character of the class by considerate and respectful treatment, if the feeling which is the reflex of per sonal worth is to be produced in it. Mr. Duman.' seems to imagine, however, that the creation of this feeling amongst this class is the simplest mechanical process in the world. Offer a prize for good conduct, and the thing is done. Affix to moral character and private virtues a low market value, and you will at once inspire them with s spirit of noble emulation, and create a genuine sense of self-respect. We do not wish to speak harshly of the right hon. gentleman and his friends. But a more grossly material, degrading, and utterly futile theory of social improvement than this it is impossible to conceive. And if the system of prizes it has produced is really, u Mr. Duutasu asserts, popular and successful, all we have to say is that the greater the success the more serious the injury it must inevitably produce. The spurious self-respect crested by the money prizes which Mr. DISRAELI applauds is at the very best a feeling fatal to all true self-respect, fatal to the love of freedom and independence and the habits of self-reliant industry it produces. This theory of prizes for good conduct rests at bottom on the principle that the labourer is after all only a kind of instrument or chattel, a superior beast of burden. On this theory he has no value for his own sake at all. Even his personal qualities, his moral character, have only an instrumental value, and are to be graciously encouraged by 11:, employers, as on the whole adding to his indus trial worth in the market. His employers, his social superiors, are the ultimate objects of all his labours and of all his efforts. He is to be virtuous not for his own sake, but for theirs. In his long career of service and good con duct he looks up to them, and they graciously ex tend the proof of "their respect and recognition "in the shape of a small pecuniary reward. To speak plair'y, this is simply feudalism in modern masque rade, villennage restored in a modern form, and under the auspices of a local aristocratic asso ciation. Ma. Disaszu has made another long speech in Buckinghamshire, without referring to a single topic of the smallest public or general interest. In this respect his address at Aylesbury on Thurs day is even more unsatisfactory and disappointing than the one he delivered at Buckingham a fort night ago. On that occasion he formally laid aside his official character as the leader of a great political party, and appeared amongst the country gentlemen as a simple " knight of the shire." But on Thursday he abandoned even this lower official position, and addressed his fellow rustics in the character of a venerable and experienced agriculturist, one of the oldest members of the local association, wholly devoted to its interests, andibsorbed in its show of stock and annual ploughing match. To do the right hon. gentle man justice, it must be allowed that he realized the character to perfection, and became for the time the slow and heavy-witted son of the soil whose position he affected. His talk was of bullocks, and be consistently displayed that absence of enlarged wisdom which the Son of Siasca attributes to those who are occa pied with the labours of oxen, who give themselves to the making of furrows and the foddering of kine. There might, perhaps, be no great objection to all this if Mr. DISRAELI occupied a less distinguished position, or had abundant opportunities;of speaking on the great questions which at this moment oc cupy and even absorb public attention. It may be well enough for the leader of a great party to combine with the public duties his position imposes others of a more private, social, and friendly cha racter. While be addresses the nation as a states man, there is no reason whatever why he should not talk to his neighbours as a neighbour. But the Member for Buckinghamshire, at a most unex ampled conjuncture of public affairs, abandons his position altogether, and entirely neglect& the duties it imposes. It is the very time when the true leaders of men and guides of opinion would desire most of all to speak. The public mind is excited to an unusual degree by moral and military struggles involving the fate of friendly nations, and affecting the future of both hemispheres. The whole nation is roused by these momentous struggles. Throughout the length and breadth of the land Englishmen are feeling, thinking, and speaking of them, not only in pri vate, but in crowded gatherings, assembled for the expression of opinion. Bat the leader of a great party, who is still ostensibly looked up to as a guide of opinion, has not a word to say on these great conflicts, or tae serious issues they involve. In the midst of these straggles, Mr. DISRAELI elaborates by the hour tritesentences on the organization and management of a local society. Possibly the Right Hon. Gentleman and his friends may regard this indifference as something heroic and sublime. But others will regard it as a proof of the political scepticism which exclusive devotion to sectional interests and party aims must inevitably produce. This conclusion will impress THE QUEEN'S RETURN TO ENoLAND.—We un derstand that her Malady's return to England is fixed for the ilitb inst. It is to be hoped that this arrangement is preparatory to a public celebration of the Prince of Wales's majority.—United Service Gazette. THE RANGER OF GREENWICH IS !U -ntamed (says the Mired Service Gazette) that the Ranger. ship of Greenwich Park, vacant by the death of Burl Canning, is to be conferred on his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The ranger's house is being fitted up for the residence of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur. A letter from Dresden of the 29th ult. stater; that on the previous day the Prince of Wales attended Divine service in the protestant church in that city, and, after having visited, in company with the King, the Heredi tary Prince, and Prince Graorge, the fortress of Home. stein, dazed with the royal family at Pilnitz. On the fol lowing day there was to be a grand hunt soda state dinner at Moritzburg. A letter from Berlin says :—" The Prince Royal, who accompanied the King to Baden, will only remain at that place until the 2nd October. He will then proet • d to Coburg to meet Queen Victoria, several members of her family, and the Princess Royal." His Excellency Count Bernatorff, it is definitively arranged, will rerun* his post as Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of St. Jailleel. A telegram from Berlin conveys instructions to prepare the Prussian Legation for the count and counter's arrival in about a fortnight. His Excellency the Swedish and Norwegian Minister, Count Wachtmeister, his arrived at 10, Stratton street, Piccadilly, from Sweden. The Earl and Countess Delawarr and the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. West have arrived in Grosvenor-street, from visiting General and Lady Catherine Bulksley, near Salisbury. . . -- The Earl of Clare has left his residence in Soul street, for St. Leonard'a•on-Sea.. The Earl and COunteas of Shelburne have arrived at Lansdowne House, from visiting the Count and Counteu de Flehault, at Tnlliallan, Clackmannanshire. _ _ itself on the minds of reflective observers all the more powerfully from the illustration of ' its truth recently supplied by the public ad dresses of other distinguished members of the same party. Only a few days ago, for examp'e, Sir JOHN PAZINOTON addressed a large assembly of his countrymen for a couple of hours without alluding to any topic of public interest, or Ira out saying anything at all that was worth hearing or remembering. From the beginning to the end, his wordy harangue consisted of elementiv./ platitudes that might possibly have ken re spectable once, but are now completely worn out and exhausted. What is the use of a great party at all if its leaders cannot or will not ex press an opinion on the only questions that have any real public interest t For a great party to remain silent at aimoment when the forces and principles that determine the freedom and pro gress of society are in active conflict is little better than political suicide. After reading Mr. Duntaxm's recent speech we are not sure that he would not have consulted hie reputation and influence by being silent on social as well as political subjects. The main object of his address at Aylesbury seems to have been to defend the vicious and degrading system of giving good conduct prizes to agricultural labourers. The ground on which his defends rests affords a curious and very instructive illustration of the unconscious contempt entertained by the new and more enlightened Tory school for the classes with whom itprofeases to sympathise. Referring to the good conduct prizes, Mr. Disaasia says :—" What was " the origin of these rewards when they were first " instituted T We had to act upon a peasantry " who, through the maladministration of the Poor " laws, were not in that position in which we " wished to find the labourers of the land ; we had " to create in them a feeling of self-respect, and " to develop a feeling of emulation.

FRIDAY ETTIMIO. The France has the following canard from Genoa, which it represents as "worthy of the most serious attention :" . Garibaldi, who has just issued en eddied!, to his partisace in which he declares that Italy has no hope of salvation but in the protection of England, lately told some friends who paid him a visit ►t Varignano that he had an understanding with agents of the English government on the subject of Rome. The object of this understanding was to bring the British cabinet to declare to France that she could no longer be suffered exclusively to occupy a portion of Italian soil, and eat, in consequence, England would occupy Sicily until Rome should be evacuated by the French army. This combination is connected with long-standing projects, and the constant ambition of England. It is well known that all the mineral riches of the island are in the hands of Emilia subjects, and that at this moment English agents I WWII in every part of the country. We doubt much, however, whether the Queen's government, in spite of it s stapressive tendencies, will lend itself readily to these prompting& Nevertheless, when we consider this news in asonexion with the meetings iu England, with the Gari baldi proclamations, and the mysterious minion of Dr, Partridge, it is impossible not to be struck by all these symptoms which reveal the most complete alliance be tween the party of action in Italy and English interests. These are the things for promulgating which Viscount Gueronnibre gets 25,000 fr. a year from the Empress's private purse besides his salary and his senator's pay. The France pretendsto know from Turin that &dis solution of parliament is resolved upon, and that the new elections will take place about Nov. 29. If (it continues) the result of the dissolution should be the retirement of Rattsszi and his colleagues from office, a new ministry will probably be formed, consisting of the old "right centre"—men devoted to Victor Emmanuel and his family, and who have always beeu opposed to claiming Rome for the capital of Italy. If the above news is true—and rumours to that effect were set about at the Bourse to-day—Victor Emmanuel is embarking on a most perilous course. "Devotion to him and his family" is no sufficient motto for an Italian ministry at this crisis. If he abandons thebroad policy of King of Italy, which he has proclaimed, the great Italian cities will cer tainly not resign themselves to be appanage of the House of Savoy. A correspondent of the Prase, writing from Turin on October 1, expresses great anxiety about the state of Garibaldi, and, contrary to Professor Partridge's opinion, thinks that the ball is still in the foot. He says that besides Dr. Bertani, an eminent surgeon, who has always maintained the presence of the ball, Dr. Cipriani, who has lately come to Varignano on the part of some of Garibaldi's friends, has published a letter, "ex pressing the fear, and alMost the certainty," that the ball must be in the wound. There has been an immense rise at the Bourse. The operations of certain powerful millionaires were aided by the rumours of an amnesty having been signed at Turin, and also by the report (a very sus picious one) that Victor Emmanuel has promised the Emperor to give up all hope of Rome. Rents rose lfr. 25c. for cash, and lfr. 15c. for account, closing at 71fr. 80c. and 72fr. Mobilier rose 60fr., and the Italian Losn lfr. 75c. A very large and wild business was done in the latter. The Orleans Railway rose 23fr. 75c., and Lyons 17fr. 50c. ; Southern fell 7fr. 50c. ; in the other lines there was no great change. The French Rear-Admiral Road, now at Vera Cruz, addressed the following letter to the Ameri can consul there on the subject of a dastardly attack upon the band of a French regiment, while giving Admiral Rom; a serenade on the occasion of his promotion : Vera Cruz, August 29. To the Consul of the United States of America. Sir,—l have received the letter which you did me the honour to address to me on August 28. You are aware that on the evecing before a military Site en /amine was very nearly being transformed into a scene of mourning by the act of a vile assassin. While the band of one of our regi ments' was playing under my balcony, a great stool thrown from the house of the person whom you take under your protection struck one of the musicians, and, had he not been protected by his instrument, would in all probe bility have killed him. I do not amuse M. Marquard of inch a cowardly, odious, and savage act ; bat it was com mitted in his house, and I hold him responsible for it. If I had not restrained the just indignation of my soldiers most certainly his house would have been usaulted, and no t one stone left upon another. A reparation to my troops is necessary, and I owe it to my troop to insist upon it for them. I will not release M. Marquard but upon condition that a sum of 200 piastres be paid to the regiment of Zonaves, to be distributed among the band upon whom this vile attack was made. G. Rom Pursuant to this peremptory requisition, the money was paid and M. Marquard set at liberty. The Prince Jerome, having been repaired after ita collision with the Russian vessel, left Toulon this morning, with the Prince Napoleon on board, for Corsica and Egypt.

The Emperor, the Empress of the French, and thirty persons of their suite left the Villa Eugenie three days ago to make au excursion to the mountain of La Rhone. M. DibursubehZre, who resides in the neighbourhood, had been requested to organise everything that wee necessary to facilitate the ascent, and he accordingly met the imperial p ar ty at Sere at 3 o'clock. Their Majesties found in retai -1 nese for them 12 well-caparisoned mules for the use of the Empress and the ladies of her suite, and 24 saddle horses for the Emperor and the gentlemen who accompanied him. Amongst the persons present were MM. de Toulongeon, de Ls Grange, de la Papule, blushed Niel, Count and the Countess Sclafani, lime. de Rayneval, M. and Mme. de Is Pau, and M. liamelis. Before leaving for the recent their Majesties partook of refreshments offered to them by the foor daughters of M. Dibursubehere. Nothing could be more picturesque than this numerous party proceeding along the sides of the mountain, with thirty fine young men acting as guides. The travellers were delighted with the fine views which constantly present them- selves. The summit of the mountain was reached at five, and after a short halt the descent took place, their Majesties and those who accompanied them halting on the plateau of the Petite-Rhone, after which the remainder of the excursion was got over by torchlight. Two bonfires were lighted on the heights, and the party arrived at the s'llep of Sare about seven. The houses were all illuminated, and their Majesties were greeted with loud acclamations While the Emperor was addressing questions to the authorities abort the wants of the country, the Empress and the ladies of her site meted for s short time at the house of Y.

Last night the inauguration dinner of the newly-elected sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Mr. Alder man James Clarke LAIWTODOO and Mr. Hugh Jones, took I place at the Albion, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRINCIi occupying the ch air. About 150 perms sat down to dinner. 1 Grace having been rid by the Rev. T. Madge, the 1 " Health of her Majesty the Queen," of the " Prince of Wales," the " Army, Navy and Volunteers," were given and received with the usual and of loyalty sod enthusiasm, General Pollock responding on behalf of the Army, aod Captain Roes on beLalf of the Volunteers. The health of the Lord Mayor was then proposed by Mr. Sheriff Jones, after which Mr. Sheriff Lawrence the health of Mr. Aldermen Bose, the mayor elect. T .(i _ res po nding to the toast, the Lord Mayor elect said that although he knew he had • difficult and responsible office to fulfil, he hoped it would lose none of it brightness in his hands, and that, with the kind assistance and advice of those who had preceded him, he would be able to discharge the dutioilwhich it imposed with satisfaction to his fellow citizens. The Lord Mayor elect concluded by proposing "The health of the Sheriffs." In responding to the tout, Mr. Sheriff Lawrence said that he should endeavour, dur ing his year of office, to fulfil the anticipations of his friends. But he must look for much con sideration from the kindness of those friends, and he hoped to meet with none but friends during his year of office. In this way he hoped the office would be alike pleasant to him self and all those with whom be was associated. (Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff Jones also returned thanks, and was most warmly received. Mr. Locke, M.P., responded to the toast of "The Rouse of Commons." The other toper of the evening were "The Magistrates of Loudon," ootiF 3 l: d . with the name of Alderman Sir R.

The musical pro gramme was carried out under the direction of Mr. Glenn Wesley, who was most efficiently assisted by Madame Louisa Vinning, Mir Ryles, and Mr. Lewis Thomas. Mr. Barker was toastmaster. "tk .TEBVINTICI lIASIBLE SOLUTION OF ' ROMAN QUINTION. The indeperslance of yesterday contains the following : We are smeared that immediately on the return of the Emperor to St. Cloud, important steps will be taken for the settlement of the Roman question ; and if we rear credit the information of our correspondent, the object of the negotiators will be to obtain the assent of the Italian government to the project submitted to Cardinal Algonalli by M. de Lavalette, without the guarantee offered to the Pope for the possession of his actual territory. The cabinet of Turin should engage not to invade the pontifical states or to permit the invasion of them by volunteers from any part of Italy ; upon which France would recall her troops sod leave the temporal power to its own resources. If, however, after the withdrawal of the French troops, the inhabitants of the peps] states, restored to entire freedom of action, should decade upon separating from a government to which the strength and will of France alone hassnbjected them : if disposing of themselves, they should manifest I their strong determination to be united to the net of Italy, the imperial government would offer no obstacle to the fulfilment of such a desire, and Victor Emmanuel world be at liberty to accept from the hands of the Romans that capital which France has not the wish or the power to give him. This combination would be perfectly acceptable to Italy, for it would open out the only way to the aooomplsh• mint of her aspirations ; and we cannot see what serious objectiors it could meet with at Twin. PRUSSIA. M. von Bismark, the new Minister of Prussia, in giving some explanations on the part of the government to the commission on the budget with regard to the financial question, at present so hotly contested between the crown and the Lower Chamber, made some observations also on politics. The new President of the Council admitted that the institutions of Germany were not perfect, and required amendment, and that urgently ; "but," he added, "this end is not to be attained by speeches and votes, but by steel and blood." Accord ng to the Peoples' Gazette of Berlin, the colonel of a regiment, in dismissing men whose period of service had terminated, spoke to them as follows :—" Hold no friendly relations with the democrats, whether liberals or progree sista, for you will soon have to meet them in a dif ferent way."

A report was brought up from the Streets Committee recommending that parties on making applications for licenses under the Petroleum Act be required to send in full particulars of the premises proposed to be used or adapted for the storing and safe keeping of petroleum, with • view to each place being examined and reported upon by the superintending architect of the board. Yr. PHILLIPS moved that the recommendation tbe com mittee be agreed to, which was seconded by Ilr. DIFFAJIGEB and unanimously adopted. The Superinteodiug Architect brought up a report recom mending that no license for storing petroleum be granted unless the warehouses were sunk below the ironed, and that the casks should not be deposited in more than one tier, sad not placed on the top of each other. The report was ordered to be printed and taken into con sideration on • future day. Mr. Bar.surerrt, the chid engineer, presented the fol lowing report on the progress of the main drainage works : "The mein drainage works are progressing satisfactorily. On the middle level sewer Misers. Braseey and Co. have constructed about six miles 3,720 feet of sewers, ranging in Mu from 4ft. Sio., 3ft., to 12ft. by 9ft. 6in., at a probable cost of about 168,0031., of which 150,0101. has been done during the past two months. On Mr. Turner's contract for the northern outfall sewer, the whole of the concrete em bankment extending from the river Lee to But Ham Church, a distance of 4 miles, is now completed. The substructure and foundation for the remainiog lenigth of cowers from Eut Ham Church to the river Thames is also completed. About nine miles 2,040 feet of double and treble lines of sewer, 9 feet by 9 feet, have been built, and the earth embankment over the same is being rapidly pushed forwent The outlet into the Thames, near Barking-creek has been commenced and is feat progressing. The iron bridges have not progressed with equal rapidity, owing to some delay with the partite furnishing the iron work. The amount of work executed is estimated at 426,1401., of which about 78,0001. has been done during the past two months. Mr. Welsher has made a vigorous commencement on the Southern outfall works at Crassness, and has brought upon the ground a large amount of plant. About 30.000 cube yards of excavation have been excavated. At the Deptford Pumping-station, under Marrs. Aird's contract, the engine and boiler houses are being slated, the chimney shaft, cad sheds, sewers, penalook chambers, he., are finished, and the river wall is about throe-fourths oompleted. Mune. Slaughtm. and Co. have get in the boilers and most of the pumps, lifting beams, ko. Work to the value of about g has been done at Messrs. Aird's contract, of which about 7,0001. has been executed since my last monthly report. On the southern high level, Messrs. Lee and Bowles have com pleted works to the value of about 184,000/. Their work is being carried on actively at Church-street, Deptford ; Hanoverotreet, ityedsee ; and in De Crespigny-road, Den mark.hilL There is every probability of the contract being completed in the course of the present year. On the southern high level extension Mr. Pearson has completed about It mile of sewer, to the value of 8,5001. At the Hint sewer, Brixton, Mr. Webster has done about 1,600 feet, to the value of about 3,2001. On the low level sewer, Bermoodsey branch, Messrs. Aird have been busy making preparations for commencing their contract, getting on of the laird, sinking deep sumps or wells for the rrut l.i ige of the work. The Southwark new street was opened on the 28th of July last, between High-street and the Southwark-bridge road, and is now being continued to Great Guildford-street. About 1,320 feet of subway, and 1,375 feet of sewer have been constructed at a cost of about 72,0C31., Wag 2,0001. more than at the date of my last report. The borings for the Thames Embankment along the foreshore of the river between Westminster and Black friars-bridge, will probably be completed before my next monthly report. "J. W. BazawrrTx, Engineer." The report was unanimously received, and ordered to be minted. TUZ WESTERN MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS. A report was brought up from a committee of the whole board, stating that the sureties proposed by Messrs. Moron for the execution of the western main drainage works were quite satisfactory. The works will therefore be proceeded with. Some routine business was then disposed of, and the board adjourned.

THE MEMBERS 702 HOUNSLOW, Famoy. The annual meeting of the South West Middle sex Agricultural Association was held at this town to-day. After the show the members dined in the Town-hall ; Lord Minim) in the chair. There IMF* also present Mr. Han bury, M.P., Sir John Gibbose, Mr. Gotolee, Mr. J. Mont gomery, the Rev. A. Scrims, E. Bast, and J. Spooner, he. la proposing the " Health of the Bishop and Lord !mm= stated that it was currently reported in well-informed quarters that their respected diocesan ithe Bishop of London) was about to be translated to the see of York. He believed that there was some foundation for the report, sod although they would all regret the loss of so valuable and respected a diocesan, yet they should rejoice at the distinguished position he would attain, sou feel satis fied that oo better selection could be made. (Hear.) Mr. Seommu proposed the "Health of the Members for the County." Mr. HANNUIT, M.P., in acknowledging the WEN, ex pressed great gratification at the progress which agriculture was making in that part of the county. It was said that the construction of railroads had thrown some 10,000 saes of lead out of cultivation, but he thought they derived a more I dea erspeneihng advantage in being brought into closer Garrido& with ether counties. Para of the kingdom which were formerly arid waste* were now fertile, and added to the pascal production of the land. Alluding to the sanguinary straggle now waging in America he expressed his approval of the conduct pursued by the government of non-intervention, and hoped that they would continue in that policy. During the past session he admitted that the House of Commons /1111 not been very actively engaged in the work of tia tion, bat he thought the absence of agitation, instead of ing a fact to be regretted, was a proof that the country was con tented and happy. Inthefuture session probably the Housesof Parliament would do well to direct their attention more than they bad hitherto done to church and educational matters. It was not for him to prognosticate what changes would be made, but be trusted that whatever they were they would all toad to the maintenance el true relig ion and piety. Lord ENFIELD, who was received with loud cheers. also responded. He said—l have sien in the observations of some of my brother members of parliament in addreasi og mitherinp like the present, that they have made apologies for the short comings of the past session. It is perfectly true that no mea sures involving any great political opposition have either been or defeated • but if you look back to our statute Clr e , d and find that'measures counected with such important subjects as the education of the people, the relaxation of our ••ititiLlizt . t . to meet great existing, and perha sti ll more severe distreas in our manufacturing • • measures coe=seist with our merchant shipping, our parochial suer meats, and the management of our highways, and other mat ters to which I need not refer, have been considered and have been passed this year, I do not think you will regret the absence (to use a cant term of the day) of what might be d asensation amnion. (Heir, hear.) Look at what ha e = one during the last 30 years Yon have bad re ligious freedom secured, political freedom ca rried, and com mercial freedom advanced. (Cheers.) It is impos sible to expect at the present day that measures of such paramount importance can every year amass our attention, and I should say happy is the legislature sod happy the people whom annals arena marked by any great events, but who going oe in the even tenour, reforming where necessary, tonsemin what is good, and maintaining, se far as Mimeo foresight can, that aloe balance of our constitution which ie our happiness, and of which we may be justly proud. (Cheers.) There is one subject which, whenever rural news is canvassed, engrosses the attention of all English men. I need not say that I refer to the desolating contest in America. I, who have recently returned from • day of bie weeks in the heart of Lancashire, can bear wittier to the sufferinp produced is this country by that war. So far as human foresight an predict there is no prospect of the early terminatiou of this unhappy struggle. I believe that parliament rightly interpreted the feeling of the country, when this year, with but one single exception, it refused to debate and consider that question. We felt that we were united by the most intimate ties—ties of oonamplinity—ties of commercial intercourse—with our brethren in America ; and lam sure that it will be • subject of deep regret to any members I speak for myself oe this oar sion, but I believe that I can also speak for the majority of the House of Commons—that any word uttered in this country should tend to protract that unhappy contest—s contest which, melancholy and miserable as all such wars must be, has been unrelieved by soy of that chivalry which has generally characterised other wars. The 111112111 of Gemmel Butler and Colonel Turchin, will, I think, vie with the names of any of those men who disgraced the uniform of • soldier during the Thirty Years War. (Cheers.) I have strong opinions sad stem's feelings in regard to the erosion of the Confederate States. I saw recently that a distinguished member of the House of Commons stated that he felt bimeelf, when addressing his constituents out of the house, emancipated from the restraint which was imposed upon him in it. With all respect for that distinguished member, I cannot concur in that sentiment . I feel th at what I have not a right to say in the House of Commons I might not to say upon any other platform. Therefore the only remark I shall make now is this, that from the bottom of my heart I earnestly hope that • better brae of mind will come over the two conteading parties—that the North may feel they have done their best to preserve that union of which they were justly proud, and which in the outer they were justified in endeavouring to preserve. But enough of blood, enough of treasure, and enough of valuable time have been wamed, and I trust that by some mean—by some honourable understanding between the contending perties— the seceding states may be recognised, and that two great republics, or perhaps three, may arise out of the wreck of that greet republic which, whatever its faults may have I teen, was one worthy the respect and esteem of Englishmen, and that in that case those three republics will yet be able to confer a blaming upon the civilised world. More the, that I may feel, but more than that I will not gar, humu dis members of the House of Commons, by • eauteed inidsmteadieg, basing placeda restraint upon Damn eder is the desire that no vote or expression of theirs should carry either deduces or insult to the people of Ame rica, I feel that that is a rale which ought to be observed by individual members without the walls of parliament. (Hear, hea r .) _As to the future it is impossible to foretell what legislation may be impending, but in my opinion there are two or three great subjects to which the minds of big nehmen should be directed, namely, our finance and oar foreign relations. I monist conceal from myself the mound that in a time of profound peace, so far as we are when we have assurances coming from the higher quartile that our relations with foreign powers are on the mod satisfactory footing, • war expenditure is still kept up ; but I feel that in this, melancholy as it is, the House of Cleariess is but the reflex of the public mind, and if other satirise feel themselves bound to expend their treasure in the production of materiel connect with war it is Moo sible that England an remain inactive. (Hem, hear.) Therefore if we wish to maintain our supremacy—not to of say one, but not to abate one iota of the position we have attained, and which we Meted to keep, we most be prepared to make great sacrifices. However reluctant I ray be to take money out of the pockets of the taxpayers, still I feel that I am representing my coosti. Manta when I do not grudge the outlay which the minister tells me is necesemy for the pre servation of the safety and honour of the country. (Hear, bear.) Foreign affairs will also engage our attention. I Deed not say that the eyes of England have been directed with interest, and more or In. of admiration, to the went liberties of Italy ; and f hope that no false step and no false policy will prevent that country from becoming united and free, and enjoying those constitutional liberties we enjoy, but which we have won at the risk of some blood and after a draggle extending over some time. (Cheers.) I trait that she will follow in our footsteps, and that she will be come one of the great powers of Europe—great in the worthiest and beet sense, namely, united, happy, and free. (Cheers.) Without trembing upon the stump& bilitiee of any gentles's& here present whatever our opinions may be, whether hbentl or conservative, we all wish that other nations should enjoy the benefits of that constitution of which we are so proud, and which you send et to protect in parliamest as far as is in our power.
