AT length, then, we may congratulate one another that the war between Germany and Denmark is at an end. The Treaty was signed at Vie:iha dAy before yesterday ; Sunday, which so many Chris tian generals have made a day of battle, being on: this occasion selected for completing the sacred work of peace. The ratification is appointed to take place within a period of three weeks, and the evacuation of Jutland by the Germans is to be effected within three weeks from that act. Suc cessive announcements from Vienna bad rrepared the public mind for this iutelligence, but the feeling of relief natural under such circumstances is one which refuses to be anticipated, and which only the fact itself can evoke. We iu England have followed the course of events, so calamitous for Denmark, in the Duchies and in Jutlaud with a sympathetic interest of which we shall never need to be ashamed. We have seen our attempts, at first to preserve and then to restore peace, shattered ou the rock of German ambition ; we have seen a happy constitutional State broken in pieces and reduced to insignifi cauce, and for the last four months nothing has been left us to hope for but the speedy consumma tion of the work of iniquity. The last demands of the Austrians and Prussians have now been regis tered, demands such as we believe have never been preferred before in modern times. The Ger mans have actually required of Denmark, and extorted by the occupation of Jutland, an indem nification for the losses occasioned by the exercise of one of the most legitimate of belligerent rights, that of naval capture. They might as well have sent in a hill for the damage done to their artillery at Missunde, and had they done so it must have been paid. hut these things are at an end, and are about to enter into the do main of history. Denmark will once more enjoy—for how long who can say !—the peace which she so much needs. Europe does not and canuut recover the sense of security which this war disturbed and destroyed. An example of successful spoliation has been set, and it may be feared that it will work, for there are many other small States whose only protection is that public law of Europe which Denmark has found so mi serable a shield. But sufficient to the day is the evil thereof. THE intelligence from the manufacturing dis tricts of Lancashire and Cheshire, which we have recently published, will have informed our readers that cotton distress is not yet a thing of the pas:. During the summer we heard much—perhaps too much—of the gradual resumption of work, the closing of relief committees, the subsidence of manufacturing industry into its old channel. The Central Committee in Manchester contented itself with meeting only once a month, instead of every week, and curious people even began to speculate on the possible appropriation of the bslauce which would undoubtedly remain when is occupation was finally gone. It is pos sible that those who were concerned with the general working of the relief organization rather than with its practical details, spoke in too confident a tone ; it is certain that the rest of the country took up the idea that the distress was over with a feeliog of pleasurable relief, that a demand, which reiteration was beginning to make wearisome, was no longer made upon its benevolent sympa thies. Those who actually lived in the whist of the factories had more misgivings. They knew that the reviving industry, which so augmented the returns of labour and diminished those of relief, was local, and that some districts were almost as poor as ever. They knew bow many causes had been at work to disperse the lobouriug pootlation, some of which were of only temporary operation; and that when the approach of winter lessened the op portunities of out-door work, or sonic stagnation trade took place in Yorkshire, the number de pendent upon relief would be indefinitely in creased. To such it was a source of astonishment not unmingled with apprehension, to see how a district, which had a considerable part of its ma chitiery standing still, nevertheless managed to do without relief ; and to reflect that what looked like a gleam of returning prosperity, had been bought at the price of a diminished industry. It was plain that the renewed commercial activity rested on no sound basis, and that any disturbing influence, from whatever quarter of the compass it might come, would severely try its stability. It has long been predicted that a panic in the cotton market must inevitably be produced by the termination of the civil war in America. As it is, the barest rumour of the possibility of such an event, any unauthorised talk of peace between self-appointed commissioners, any turn in the c.ilupaign which all interested judgment could in terpret in the same direction, have sufficed to shake Ili.. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1864. the inordinately high price of cotton. Whenever the stock of cotton held in the Coohderate States is thrown upon the market, a sudden and great fall must ensue ; and for the time all manufac turing activity will be suspended. No man can work • mill when he sees quite plainly that within a week his raw material may lose five, or ten, or twenty per cent. of its value ; while the higher and the more exceptional the price to which that material may have been forced, the greater is the manufacturer's risk. Now the effect which might have been produced, and may still be produced, by peace in America, has followed upon the crisis in the money and produce markets. Cotton has lost something like one-third of its value. And although the stock in Liverpool is larger by some 300,000 bales than it was at the same period of last year ; although the shipments from India show that the supply up to Christmas will be abundant ; although • pound of fair Indian cotton may be bought for about a shilling —stagnation reigns throughout Lancashire, and relief committees have re-commenced their pain ful, but most necessary work. It will be observed, however, that the very nature of the crisis encourages us to hope that it will be but temporary. It has been a necessary evil, and one long predicted, even if looked for from another quarter. No serious reverse has been before experienced by the cotton speculators, and it need excite no surprise that when a loss of millions was in question they should hold on with despairing energy, and so make the period of de. dining prices, during which manufacturers have no choice but to wait, as long as possible. The failures both among merchants and manufacturers, inevitable at such a time, as well as the general feverishness of commercial life, have operated in the same way. With such sudden and violent squalls bursting upon the ship from every region of the heavens, there has been nothing for it but to run for harbour with close-reefed sails. But there are already indications that, for the present, the price of cotton has reached its lowest level ; and if these should prove to be trustworthy, we may confidently prophesy a quick and effectual re sumption of work. The public may rest assured that both masters and men are heartily tired of doing nothing. It may almost be affirmed as a general fact that those manufacturers who have worked least during the last three years have lost most. And no one who knows the Lancashire working man can doubt that all his earthly aspira tions are at present summed up in one—sixty hours' work a week, and a fair clay's wages for a fair days work. At the same time it must be remembered that if such crises as these are transitory, it is a part of their nature to recur. They are the necessary accompaniments of the close of such a time of stagnation as Lancashire has passed through. Whatever be the average price at which cotton, under the world's altered circumstances, will finally settle, there must be many fluctu,tions, arising from very different causes, before it can settle so as to be a firm basis for manufacturing prosperity. Whenever a sudden fall of price takes place, a tem porary cessation of production, such as that which we now see, is the necessary consequence. And therefore the Manchester Central C minittee acts with commendable forethought in husbanding, for future emergencies, the balance which still stands t 3 its credit. WITHIN a year of the death of THACKERAY, JoHN LEE.'II has followed him. We have lost the greatest of our pictorial satirists, and by a blow so speedy and sudden that it inevitably recalls the shock that went through the nation when the greatest of our literary satirists was taken. In their visible fate there is much that makes the coincidence more striking. Both were long fellow labourers in Poach, both died in harness, and both sank too early, worn out by the overstrain of mental work. A deeper resemblance, indeed, may be traced beneath the surface events of their live*. The genius of both was essentially the product of the age in which they lived, and suited to it ; their comedy was mixed with pathos, their tragedy dashed with self-ridicule, the genuine outbursts of nature mingled with the sneer of civi lization. Neither probably would have been as great had he bitten on any other time ; nor is it easy to say what either of them might have been had his inclination been less fettered by the exigencies of surrounding circumstances. LEECH, it is true, did not give, like THACHIRAY, any public indication of desire to break away into other paths. And indeed, whether we esteem it lower or higher, his was the more original line. No caricaturist before him habitually employed beauty as the instrument of his lessons. No satirist of mere folly has ever indulged leas in exaggeration. His success was achieved by the absolute truth of his representations ; the satiric moral lay simply in their selection. He seized the moment at which folly was self-convicted, and held it up as it was to inextinguishable ridicule. Vice, as such, he scarcely professed to attack. But as folly when rampant grows into vice, he is not to be refused the honour due to a teacher becaumi he limited himself to dealing with incipient and nascent evils. Society has been the wholesomer and the purer for his pencil, and therefore let him not be classed merely as one of those who tickle it into amusement by the exhibition of absurdity. But if his life and works were the outgrowth and reflection of his age, his death has, in a sadder sense, been a sacrifice to its peculiarities. Living, as we all do now, at ten times the rate of our forefathers, those who supply our intellectual food must tax themselves to meet our demands. We read ten times as much, and, therefore, we must have ten times as much written and painted for us ; we pay ten times as much, and, therefore, artists and authors are tempted to ten times the exertion. For, unhappily, we do not pay in pro portion for the great work to which the care and labour of a lifetime has been given—the perfect work which will live through all time, like the Iliad or the Apollo. But what we are eager for 16 the shallow novelty, the sharp comment on daily life, the work that fatigues not the under standing, but strikes in a moment, and may at once be dismissed. So the lima labur et 11w/A does not pay, and, as a consequence, it is not given. Perhaps, but for this fatal temptation, Leei-ir might have added some enduring work of art to the galleries of his country. Our consolation is that he reached, if not so high, at least a wider public. He met the popular hunger, and supplied it with light and evanescent but healthy food. Only in doing this he lost his own life, as so many another artist and man of letters has done of late years. For it seems as if the creative faculty were that which kills the fastest. The lawyer lives long, though be works as hard as the poet, for many more hours a day. But the men of imagination, such as all artists and all literary men must he more or less, fall soon and fast. Would they but spend some of that time which is now spent in inventing new characters, new scenes, new stories, new argu ments, in the dull plodding routine of revising, recasting, and polishing, their works might live beyond the year, and many a useful year would be added to their own lives. But it is fruitless to preach prudence, or a noble ambition. when the lope of sudden wealth is the lure. We call for so much of literature and art that we cannot have it so good as it might be, and we pay so highly for novelty that we kill our authors and artists when their years are still green. It is a sad and lingering death, too. The no blest part is the first to suffer and perish, and mental failure precedes, * as it causes, the bodily decay. In the works of poor LEECH this process has been visible for some years past. The power and skill of hand still kept improving, and the grace and vigour of drawing grew ever more re• markable. But the wit of the piece was less. The scenes or the sayings selected for illustration were less intrinsically humorous, the fun was more forced, the characters and the situations partook more of mere repetition. The explanation of it all comes now. The cause, beyond a doubt, was that which hurried WALTER SCOTT and DAVID WILKIE to an early grave. The mind was over wrought, and the brain gave way. It is idle and foolish to suggest, as has been done, that the mischief had its origin in the "organ-grinding " nuisance." No doubt the sick and suf fering artist was half maddened by the noise, but it was because he was already sick. The morbidly excited brain felt acutely an irritation which in a healthy state it would have thrown off as a passing annoyance. It might as well be said that riding on horseback was the cause of his malady, because there came a stage at which riding increased it. The argument is a good one in favour of giving to the worn brain the perfect rest which may enable it to recover its tone. We have urged it ourselves, when seeking to retain the solitude and quiet of Kensington Gardens and other open spaces, as means of refreshing the weary minds of brain-workers. But the illness which has cut LEECH off in his prime was his own doing. He is but one more of the men of high talent who have failed to do what they might, because they strove to do too much and too fast. Some time or other, when the laws which bind the soul to the body are better known and better kept, we shall cease to be harrowed by these recurring moral suicides. Meanwhile, let us take warning, and at least learn by our heavy losses. LATEST INTELLWENUE. THE PEACE BETWEEN GERMANY AND DENMARK. The Berlingeke Tidende, of Copenhagen, of the 26th ult., referring to the conclusion of peace, observes that the conditions are far more rigorous than those which were stipulated after the battle of Novara, when Austria found herself in a position to dictate peace to Piedmont. " Apart," it continues, "from the amicable intervention of the European powers which took place at that period in favour of the vanquished, and which has been entirely wanting in our case, it seems that other considerations should have led the conquerors I to manifest towards Denmark more generosity than was shown in regard to Piedmont ; for Piedmont, even when beaten, remained a formidable adver sary to Austria, which Denmark will never be to Germany, and yet the first demands of Austria, which rose as high as 280 millions of lires, wore reduced to 75 millions, whilst the financial sacrifices which Lave been imposed upon us have not undergone any diminution, and have even been rather augmented. But, however hard may be the conditions to which we shall have to submit, we must desire that a war which has been so disastrous for Denmark may be at length terminated. We have already alluded many times to the misfortunes which have over whelmed Jutland, and our readers know Low cruelly that province has been afflicted by the decree which prohibits the exportation of agricultural products. But if the inhabitants are not to be completely ruined, it is necessary that these rigours should end before wiuter crones to prevent exportation by sea. We hope, then, that when once peace is signed the evacuation will take place without delay ; but if, contrary to our ex pectation, thin should not occur till after the exchange of the ratifications, we do not think it would be very exacting to ask that, at all events, all restrictions which fetter commerce may be immediately removed, especially as this de mand is iu perfect accord with the text of the preli• roinaries. After a lung and laborious campaign, iu which our navy has worthily sustained its ancient reputation, and has signalised itself by brilliant ser vices, our ships are beginning to return by degrees to Copenhagen to be disarmed there, and everything seems to indicate that the other vessels of the fleet will swim be recalled. This confirms the order of the day which Admiral Van Duckum has lately published ou giving up the command of the Baltic squadron, as well the following proclamatiou which the King has addressed to the navy : Events have now entered upon a more pacific path, and most of you are now going to return to your hearths. I have followed you with joy in the course of your brilliant campaign. Whether you have had to combat the entailed of Danmark, or to struggle in the depth of winter against the posse of the elements, you have always diiiplayeal the same courage and the isms perseverance. Preserve in the midst of peami your love for your king, your country, sod the flag under which you have fought, and if you should be summoned again to take up arms for the defence of the land, be always reedy to come and range your. selves beneath the folds of the old Ilianebrog. Officers, sub-officers, and sailors of the navy, I send to you all my royal education, and thank you for the task you have so bravely accomplished. (Signe.i) CHRISTIAN R. (Corm tersigued) 0. LUTKEN.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESA OF WALES To LIVERPOOI.—At the meeting of the Liverpool Town Council .yeeterday the Mayor stated that having heard of th e intended visit of the Prince of Wales to the Earl of Derby, at Knowsley Hall, he had thought it his duty to communi cate with his lordship on the subject, in order that the Council might he prepared to adopt any Tl36lllllfes which might be considered desirable on the occasion. !lobed received the following reply from the Earl of Derby, i—" Knowsley, Oct. 23, 1644.-1/ear Sir, I regret that I cannot give you lany certain totelligeoce as to the time of the Prince of Wales' visit here, except that it will not be early in November.

MONDAY EVERNO. My anticipation that the newe of the two journals which affirmed that the Emperor of Russia was coming to Toulon and Paris would turn out to be false is confirmed by the fact. The Czar is at this moment travelling through Germany on his way to St. Petersburg. Not a whisper is uow heard of any political result of the interview. I believe there is nose. The Patric announces that the court wilt go to Compiegne ou Monday, Nov. 7, to stay there one month. Without knowing how far the impression may be reliable that the change in the Austrian cabinet indicates a more friendly feeling towards France, I cannot but notice that the semi-official organs here interpret the event in that sense. The Pays to-night has two paragraphs calculated to curry favour for Austria in France. One says that the raising of the state of siege in Gallicia (of which province the new minister, Count Mensdorff Pouilly, was lately governor) has been resolved upon " on principle ;" and that the measure will probably be decreed at the opening of the Reichsrath, the government embracing that occasion to " mske " (fairs) the elections. This candid use of the term fair in reference to elections is almost in itself an indication of a French alliance. The other paragraph gloats over the idea of coming dissensions between Austria and Prussia. The re treat of Count de Recbberg, we are told, is generally considered at Berlin as an event which must affect the existin4 relations be tween those two powers, and differences, of perhaps a serious nature, may be expected to arise upon the two important questions which yet remain to be settled ; viz., the succession in the duchies and the customs question. The Bourse has been somewhat better than on Saturday ; but in consequence of the holiday to morrow (All Saints'-day) a great many speculators abstained from entering into fresh engagements. Reute rose 10c. for cash, closing at 6-tfr. 75c. Fur account there was no change, the last price being 641 r. 65c. Mobilier rose 7fr. 50c. Railways were about `..'fr. 50c. higher.

' of the Hidden Hand —the chief drama with which Mr. Horace Wigan will in augurate his management to-morrow—waa given last night at this house in the preemies of • large and feahiocable company. The piece is an adaptation of L'Aatile, and the cast of characters comprises Mr. Henry Neville, Mr. Coghlan, Mr. Maclean, Mr. Vincent, Mr. Cooper, Min Kate Tern, Mire Louise Moore, Miss Bowring, and Miss Farren (their first appearance here), and Min Lydia Foote. The other pieces will be The Girl I Lilt Behind Me, an adaptation, by Mr. Oxenfonl ; and My IrtiCe Bonnet, an adaptatine, by Mr. Maddison Morton. Mr. Horace Wigan will not play on the fist night, but the two farces will be supported by Mr. J. G. Taylor, a new low comedian, from the country, Mr. Soutar, Mr. Andrews, and some well-known members of the last Olympic company. The house has been thoroughly cleaned and re-decorated, and it now presents an exceedingly cheerful appearance, in which crimson is the predominating colour. The new drop scene is a well-painted fancy Grecian view—a pleasant change from the old Venetian drop which we had got heartily tired of. The seats have been re-arranged, the ventilation and lighting have been improved, and every care has been taken to provide for the comfort of the audience. The new lessee and manager (Mr. Horace Wigan) is one o the most satisfactory and versatile actors on our stage, and we Lave no doubt that his management will be marked by sense, enterprise, and talent. ADELPHL Mrs. Stirling re-appeared last night at this Louse is one of her favourite characters—the mother-in-law in the comedietta of Hot and Chicken& Her appearance was welcomed as it deserves to be. The Colleen Bann is an nounced as being in preparation. NEW THEATRE ROYAL, BIRKENHEAD. The new theatre erected by a joint stock com pany at Birkenhead was opened last night, when Miss Lydia Thompson and a powerful company appeared in fib. Bur. nand's burlesque, Lei.n, and other entertainmenta. The building is sutSciently large to accommodate about 1,600 persons, and the seats are large and comfortable. The front of the theatre faces Conway-street, one of the prin cipal thoroughfares of the town, and the approach to the pit and boxes is through • handsome corridor. The stage, which is of amply convenient size, is fitted with extensive mechanical apparatus. arid furnished with a liberal stock of excellent winery. Mr. Dalby, who is locally celebrated as a scenic artist, has painted • charm ing act-drop. The decorations of the proscenium, the dress and gallery circles, and the ceiling are light, chaste, and artistic, gold moulthogs on delicate tinting* forming the prominent feature of ornamentation. The ante rooms for refreshments and promenade are numerous and roomy, and every device which care for the convenience of the public could suggest has been applied in the con struction of the building. Mr. Henderson, the lessee of the Priors of Wales Theatre, Liverpool, hen taken the house for the first six months, and announces • series of perfor mances of high-class character and interest. Lrion, Mr. Burnand's.popular burlesque, has been produced, Miss Lydia Thompson sustaining the principal character. Yr. E. A. Sothern will perform during the week; Mr. J. L. Warner, the Australian tragedian, is eng age d for • series of representations ; and other "stars" are in reserve. A local pantomime, by Mr. Charles Milward, will be produced at Christmas. The management of the Prince of Wales Theatre gives grounds for high expectations so to that of the Birkenhead Theatre ; and it is confidently believed that the large population of the borough and adjoining townships will prictically appreciate the first effort made on an ex tended scale to rive them entertainment. of a high order. NUTS FOR NATURAL PHILOSOPHERS. Ac the workmen employed at the steam saw mills of Meru. Douglec and Co., Lhuiellv, Caimarthenshire, were engaged in sawing a large balk of Ligliab oak, they found in the centre of the tree 21 outs. Singular to state, not the least tlaw could be discovered in the tree to amount for the nuts getting inside. The nuts are of the colour of mahogany, and the kernels are as sound as when they were first ripe. Tile EASTERN FISHERIEs.—Very large quantities of herrings have bees landed at Great Yarmouth during the past fortnight—in fact, there has beau almost a glut of fish. From 150 to 200 lasts have been lauded daily, each last com prising 13,200 fish. Prices range from kV. to 121. per hat. At Lowestoft, also, considerable catches have been landed, which have sold at la. 6.1. to la. 1041. per 100. The quality has improved. California has given over 700,000 dollars in cur rency to the Federal Sanitary Commiaaion ; Nevada, 92,000 dollars in gold, which would be, at currency rates, at least 250,000 dollars ; and both keep (ivies, and devising all manner of mantis( and beautiful wave of doing it, and of selling things of small values till they produce hundreds and thousands of dollais.

WORKING WOMEN'S COLES The opening of this college at 29, Queeu-square, Bloomsbury, took pleas on the 26th Oct., when the fol. lowing address, explaining fully the aims and object of the institution, we, read before a crowded meeting of teachers and students by the secretary, Mrs. F. Malleson. Mr. R. Lrrcurtaw in the chats. Students, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—lt has cost roe a pair,. fol effort to resolve to say a few words to you to-sight, but my " few words" were ready to be spoken, and it seemed to me, at the opening of a college ter women, that it was not fitting a woman should shrink from the self-iio posed task of their utterance because it cost h r o sacrihoe of personal feeling. We meet together to•uigh: to nose this place for its appointed business, and it seems appropriate, seeing that we have under taken a common work—se our name " College" uo plies—a common work involving common responst bilit es, that we should impress upon ourselves and each r Cher we hope to gain by this association, i.e.. what we aim at ja our labour, and how we intend to carry it out. refer t, what we stated in our original prospectus, we open t.. 3, college that working women may have an opportunity ..f supplementing the education they have receivol,thor e or le.; sausfactonly, as school children. We use the ti em won 33. ; wools° to represent all the various classes of %onion oslo, are obliged to work for their living, and who therefore, for that reason alone, cannot obtain teaching doom; tee dat. The venous classes of bread-winners, teachers. 5i0pe3 , 33,,.., workers in all kinds of trades, domestic servauts, enjoyed, very probably, endelydifferent oppurtuunim of ed:.• oation.and coming to a conviction that schooliffie "3- Lou: I io,t cease," to use some words of Mr. Maurice's. "hot toot lessons of life and the lessons of books should mien,' together, illustrating and interpreting each other," it • will commence self-improvement from chtferrot .t a r;. 3 points; some will desire quite elementary teacbing in r,... iog and wnting, while others wish austruction in phymi, , Latin, etc. In the arrangemeuts of our clavos we studied to supply these varying needs, while io the s o .1 life of the coffee-room we hope all students, w Aber hold the preparatory clamed or from this college dames, will meet on septa] groileis, seeking self-improvement, all helping to cr. ate Lem an atmosphere of happy interest and friendly inteicturse. We take as the model of our mode of wortiog, r, Working Men's College in Great Ormond-street, in 5;,. . ¢ teachers who have enjoyed large opportunities of knowledge and culture give instruction and routpa3a.a.,... to those who have less leisure, nod barn 1.,l less happy advantages of learning, as a tu.lltr of simple duty belonging to their larger fa.,,, of usefulness ; and this system of volunteer tc.ichit,g in so many more ways than in mere instruction, iog into pleasant intercourse those who would ottorisise remain apart by their different habits of iife and manna thought, and bears so largely upon the genera. e 33 cation and culture of the students, tint I 13 .3.: very earnestly we may be equally success ill in care,. iog it out. 1 think we should be so the young women who are now being educaied at La ladies college, possess year by year larger and better opi.or. tunities of culture ; and women, as a rule, coin for learme; purely and simply for its own sake, less, I think, Loon men do, desiring to put their acquisitioa to some use for utLoi,. To such we say, " We have plenty for you to do, pleasant work to offer you, if you will train your,o3vc- , teach with us." We possess a great advantage. see., 14 till co-operation of men with women in our uodertailti3,g, tog college receiving their generous, devoted, and ~3.1, not only in teaching, but in all other parts of 133 e, 1.,3-• o connected with it. This I regard as good security that L.A. shall be in our work a right and harmonious adjustment •4 power and influence, that its details shall be subservient to to general and large principles. Our programme of dames has been characterised rather frequently as " ambitious. " What is the use of latio, or drawing, or boffin, iog people!" we have been ,aked • "You ehoold women things which bear upon their delly life." Toe tea, briii of the several claws put down in our programme • ill I re• seutly speak on behalf of the value of their 4/%lBl.l l ,jeCts. I would merely say now, that we hove no doubt that spee3.: training of various kinds is valuable, we have a hil.h respect fur it, so that it be good, and thorough, and tea es pupi:r to work with their whole mind sod endeavour. whether it be at the scrubbing of a floor or the keeping of books ; but we do not intend to suppl) tims need, tee do not take it as our business ; and thougb w, utter lane for special traioiog of WON sorts, these faciaties are merely included in our larger plan. For, to say the truth, we are " ambitious" for wmlciog women ; we hope to at• tract to the college these who tie in our sews " ambitious " for themselves—those who feel time they oat e poatniut luta. ligeoc, and emotion which they have lonianto not culti vated @Donk—those who would humbly learn to perceive a little more of the wonders and beauty which lie hidden around them in this wonderful world—those sib° feel that uncultivated and thoughtless women cauuut tie the teal companions and helpmates of cultivated lied thought ful men—those who see that by endearoai iug to make themselves nobler human creatures they not only make themselves more fit to fulfil the large duties of lase, but the smaller—l would even say the smallest. For what are called the " special duties" of women, too +am...nation of home, the management of children, I may be permitted to say no culture can be too wide or too deep, and I think it would not be difficult to show that a girl who trains henna by the learning of a language, or the study of physiology, or history, or drawieg, in hahita of does attention to small things, of persistency of work and torment patience, would make a better shopwoman, a better servant, a more valu able worker in any and every department of labour. In the teaching of the college we especially desire to lead one students to look up to subjects reverently, not into them with conceited cleverness. We shall aim at giving thoroughness to whatever we teach; we know that all really valuable results in education must be of sloe growth, and we shall be content to wait for these, if we see good reason for hoping that they are coming, that they will come at last. We look to the students so share our pa tience. You of course will have trials as all student., have ; you will sometimes be discouraged with the difficulties of ylur work ; you will be tempted to abeodor it, in the hope of finding something cattier ; some of yon may think it hard to be made by your teachers to travel over Scale a road which you thought you were familiar with, but remember that real honest work will bring its reward to you at last. " No matter how often defeated, you are born to victory.' We hops, for the future honour of oar college, some of our students may attain worthy intellectual distinction; I think the students will echo this wish. To the larger number of those who come to us feeling that they have little time at their disposal, and mn.li to do to improve themselves, I would say :—Work bttadily and thoroughly at the ooe subject you take up, and always re member that if through your work you train your minds to habits of careful attention and thought—if you redly use your minds in your work—the training is wont, mire than that which MI really acquire; for in the one case you have gained • little knowledge—a few facts out of the stores that lie beyond ; in the other, you have strength aced yourselves to gain, collect, compare, amd see 000stantly and always new facts nod nines knowledge, and can take cars for yourselves, one and all, that the strodard of education in the general lody of our student. is no mean one. It would be good that our students should read our best literature with appreciation and tote. should express themselves in writing and speaking with correctness and clearness ; should write clear, legible hands; that they should not be puzzled with simple accounts. that they should see things by the light of reason as well as through instinct, that they should know sofficieutly of the elements of sciatic* to choose some one study to pursue, that they should have their interest awakened in the history going on around them, and have a genuine care, foe instance, as to whether slavery is abolished thron4h. nut America or the franchise is extended in Eogleod. But beyond all this, I hope those of us who belong to the college will remember always the one end nod situ of all in tellectual advancement. I trust that the life here enriched by devotion, unselfishoess, earnest *Utah,' after good. nisi givo to us all a yet higher idea of duty, of thankful senior to God, and that the college may he an instrument helping us all to lead more unselfish, more dutiful, more noble If it fail in doing this it will, I fear, fail altogether. thou,:b our students should be numbered by hundreds. That the college succeeds in its purpose will be shown in the steadiness, order, and devotion of the class work here. It will Ire shown in the coffee-room, whore girls give a welcome to all new comers with a sisterly sympathy —where they strive to make the sad more cheerful. the lonely less lonely, arid do their pert to create as atmosphere of rest and peace, as well as atirriog interests for those whose days have been filled with toil aid small anxieties. It will be shown in the homes of our students, where women's strongest and happiest influence lie., in mire deeply loving hearts, in more perfect relations, end where ever our students put before them as the ideal of woman hood— A Being breathing thoughtful breath. A Traveller between life and death. The rearm firm. the temperate will. Endurance. fortsight...trengtb. and A perfect woman. n My planned. To warn, to comfort. and command ; And yet a spirit still and bright. With something of angelic That this college may succeed in the true sense of the word, we will devote our best efforts, our love ; and in our of its life we are not drawing upon our imagination only. The Working Men's College has attained some of this.l ven ture to say, truest sumess. Ton years ago, whets the college was first started, I heard of its establishment and pl►n with a thrill of pleasure and thankfulness which has left its re membrance and its seed in my mind ever risco. It first opened classes of working women ; ■nd since it has been my privilege to know more DeArly something of the college life, it has won my reepeet and admiration more and more. The Working Men's College of London represents not only a noble thought and a noble endeavour, but shows as results of its life and labour a body of students, truth-loving and manly, hotrod together by ties of brotherly friendship and sympathy, ready to help one another in times f need and sickness, even to the parting of death—men peeking after good, delighting in simple pleasures, and cultivating refined tastes, men tender to little children and to women. t me of the students, one I felt it a happiness to know, spoke tome when near his death of his connexion with the having been one of the great privileges and joys of his life. If at the cod of tea years our college shall have created in a few women as well qualified to judge such a feeling, ae shall not have existed and laboured in vain.
