Both Mr. Bright sod DISRAELI, M.P., was called to address the meeting. He was received with loud cheering. Ha said Mr. Tramper sod gentlemen—l thank you for the permission which you have kindly granted me for the purpose of making some ob servations to you. lem quite certain that the subject to which I wish primarily to draw your attention, is one re 'petting which there me be no controversy. It is my wish to propose a vote of thanks, as cooling from this meet. ins, to the gentleman who has presided so ably over the meeting of this day. (Applause.) I look epee Mr. Tramper as being an honour to his class, and I think that the farmers of Buckinghamshire may well be proud that on occasions like the present, when betimes of the greatest importance has to be presided over sad directed, they can place in the chair an individual who is associated with them is their own pursuits, and who can 000 duct the hatinem with such dignity and with so much knowledge of the sub ject in hand. as well as with so much good temper—characi- Seriatim which, I most say, have always distinguished my einellent friend. ( Cheers. ( Gentlemen, I have attended your meeting this day, not merely as a ratepayer of th e Bounty—for the invitation to attend wan given to the rate payers—but because I thought that, as being one of your representatives in parliamt, a good opportunity would be odid en me of becoming acquainted with the 'feelings of my oonstituenta on a subject of each vital importance— (' Hear," and cheers)—sod that I m igh t become possessed of the experience sod the facts, the details of the informa tion upon which their opinions may have been formed. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I have listened with much attention to all that has taken place in this hall, and this I may truly say, that the views at which you have arrived have at any nit* sot been founded upon prejudic e, bat they have been founded upon due investigation of all the circumstances which are sonneated with the result which yen have in your resolutions so unanimously professed. (Hear, hear.) My own opinions on this matter are, 1 be lieve, not entirely unknown to you ; at any tate, it is, I think, not unknown that I voted in the minority at our last court of quarter semions—the highest court of the kind in this county—when the justice' arrived at the conclusion that they would appoint a committee to investigate the sub ject. (• Hear, " sad applause.) It would sot be becoming in me to obtr ude my opinions on the subject in public., for I will wait with respectful attention for the fi nal decision at which the court of quarter sessions may arrive. But in =sequence of certain remarks which have been made to. day, I feel bound to say, from my knowledge of the indi. viduals who oseipose that committee, I am confident that they will arrive at their deoisicia, whatever it may be, tut- I Mused by any selfish consideration, and that they will de -1 tide to adopt each Wogs as they believe are tionsiatent with the interests of the country and public policy. (Heth. bear.) Gentlemen. lam sure that the meeting of to-day will have its duo effect on the court of quarter sessions. It is quite imperil:de that the chief proprietors of this important county can be indiffe rent to the feelings and judgments of so Ism sod ineli giblel a dais, and so impose= a portion of the influential middle-clap= of Buckinghamshire. lam very glad to see that the farmers of this county on this matter, as they have been on other matters with which their owe interests are ' deeply °unearned. come forward to show that they are men who think deeply and properly on subjects in which those interests as well as the Interests of their neighbours are coossreed, and to assist other abuses by the advantage of their judgment. (Hear.) After the resolution to which you have already come, I will not diverge further from the real point which I have in head, and which hat called MO b : my legs, which is to propose • vote of thank' to the chair men for the able meaner in which be his conducted the business of this important meeting. (Cheers.) Mr. HOWLAID seconded, sad Mr. (hurts supported the motioo, and it was carried unanimously. A number of memorials against the adoption of the Highway Aet was then heeded in to the secretary, Mr. Geo.

Scene Idea of the enorraOtts growth ad trade 5$ IRS Al visy be fossil tom the following Mato on the queetiou were solely due to his anxiety to clear the hon, member for Halifax, has induced the Star to refer to the parliamentary reports, and to give a narrative of the facts. The following extract will show what dependence s to be placed upon the explanations of the hon. member for Finsbury : "First, Mr. Cox put the memorable question about the stateenect made by the French Procureur-General and the house in Tharloe-square, and he added that he had found in the ' Directory' that his friend lived In that particular house, and he begged of his friend to explain the odd coin eidesice. So far that was all very well. and Mr. Stanfield thanked his faithful Pythias for giving him an opportunity of refuting a monstrous imputatioo. But Mr. Hennessy, M.P., declared himself entirely diseatiafied with the expla nation given by Mr. Stsnsfeld, sod moved an adjournment of the house, in order to have an opportunity of attacking that gentleman. And, be hold! Oox seconded Mr. Henneasy's motion, sod declared that he, too, was dissatisfied with Mr. Stanefeld's explanation. He declared that be expected to have beard something mash more satiataotory ; he again smeared the house that be had searched the' Directory' and found Mr. Stanateld's residence to be the same as that alluded to by the Procureur-General, and he urged that the house should be put more closely in possession of Mr. Stansfeld's domestic arrangement.. All this no doubt was quite in the beaten way of friendship. Bat some few nights after the question came up again on a tory modal, declaring that ' the statement of the Precursor-Geo.- ral on the trial of Greco, implicating • mem ber of this house and of her Majesty's go vernment in the plot for the anessainatioci of oar ally, the Emperor of the French, deserves the serious consideration of the house.' Now, as ordinary parson would not have regarded that motion as peculiarly friendly to Mr. Stens fold. The liberal members did not thus regard it. and ac cordingly voted against it. There IMO, however, two exceptions. and one of than was Mr. Cox. The boo, member for Finsbury voted for the tory motion. But Mr. CAM declares that this very act demon strsted the depth and sincerity of 'him friendship. The charge, be maintains. did deserve the @Grimm consideration of the house, in order that Mr. Mandela might be thereby enabled to prove his innocence. He (Mr. Cox) believed the charge to be untrue, sod therefore voted for the motion. Perhaps Mr. Cox's emotions were rather overwhelming on the oocsalou in question. His seal in the cause of his friend may have a little obscured hie wonted clearness of expression. During the debate Mr. Gladstone stood up for Mr. Stanfield, and contended that that gentle man's second explanation had entirely refuted the charge of the Procurenr•General. On this Mr. Cox instantly rose, aml, no doubt, out of the purest regard for Mr. Stansfeld, bleated that to his thinking Mr. Planetoid had ad mitted every word of the charge ! Here is. indeed, the oddest kind of backing of one's triennia. Mr. COS further argue that the two explanations given by Mr. Stanfield to were inconsistent, and with a friendly and flatter. iog peremptoriness he begged that Mr. Staosfeld would in timate which answer was to be considered as true. Thus, at least, is Mr. Coe reported in the journal which than commended his seal, but which evidently did not at the time quite understand, any more than ourselves, that the ' seal was diaphyed purely on Mr. Stansteld's behalf. This is the brief history of the transaction. We have thought it worth as into, if only to show what eccentric forms friendship may sometimes delight to sesame. Mr. Cox's I questions, doubts, denials, and votes in this matter were sadly misunderstood at the time both by the house and by the public. Ewen at this calmer moment we cannot help thinking that although they may be new.feehioced friend ship, yet they look very like old-fashioned enmity."

That is an event that humanity may be proud of, 1 and it is not the subject for the political party to exult over or scowl over. (Cheers.) A people who can do that have given to the world a spectacle such as was never before pre. seated by any other people, and what have they clone? They have decided, after years of war, and after almost every household has lost a relative or an inmate, the coolest that ozone between General Welelhn, who desires to put down the war without making the abolition of slavery a conilition . and Mr. Lincoln who dor sires to pat down the war and extirpate slavery from the South. (Cheers.) Notwithstanding that that was the ap peal made to the whole people, they have preferred casting in the interests of humanity, for that can no longer be questioned. they have preferred the cootinuance of war rather than the continuance of degrading slavery. (Loud cheers.) Let us have no more of the Lae talk that this not a war to put dews slavery. Everybody now admits that what ever is the isms of the struggle, slavery will be abolished. Now, with regard to the issue itself, I told you two years ago that I did not believe that I should live to see two bide prudent :Sake on that Continent of North America. I have repeated that assertion sines, and I;now come to con firm that opinion, but with far more emphasis than I have ever expressed before. (Cheers.) I do not believe' that that country, in my day, will ever b e I separated. I look upon the geographical difficulties in the way of separation to be absolutely 1 insurmountable. (Cheers.) Take the cars of the Minis. I sippi ; that river, with its tributaries, flows through two thousand miles of navigable waters into the Gulf of Mexioo; and in order that the United States might have its mouth, in their own occupation, that they might, as It were,' have the keys of their own doors in their own pockets, they I purchased from the first Napoleon the State of Louisiana, withlthe money of the old Union, for three minima sterling. (Hear, bear.) Well, now, some two or three huodred thou. sand people could have squatted there. Some English, some French, and some Americans have taken into their beads that they will carry off this State, and place the mouths of that great river, the outlet of that vast country, in the hands of • foreign State. I have said that it would be far easier for Essex and Kent to carry off the mouth of the Thames, and set up an East Anglian kingdom, than for Louisiana to carry off the m oaths of the Mississippi and set up for an isdepeodent Sate. There are some few hundreds of thousands in the counties of Heat sad Essex, hat th• valley of the Mississippi will become the borne of 200,0013,000, and this makes it infinitely more impossible that the United States should allow the months of the bliasissippi to be carried off than that England should suffer the mouth of the Thames to be taken away. Why should they do so, when they can so easily by the smallest expense, retain possession of it ? for a few gunboats could easily blockade the outlets of that river. Even if the ' North cannot conquer Louisiana they might out the dykes' above New Orleans and drown the whole of that State. ' In laying this I am speaking of the motives and posai bilities, and not of wishes or feelings of my own. If you I think that Mr. Jefferson Davis would be contented with' the cotton states and not be allowed to extend into Texas " be would not thank you. They are fighting in the South I to carry slavery beyond Texas into the vast regions of Ceuta' America. Now I say that if the geographical features of the country had been looked at by the ruling classes and those who write in the newspapers, they would not have arrived at a conviction of the success of the Southern aide. Speaking of domestic reforms, that await our attention, the Edinburgh reviewer says, "At home we have still to apply to land and to labour that freedom which has worked more marvels in the case of capital and com merce." Now, that is not my language, it is that of the wbig reviewers ; but I say amen to it. However, if I had 25 or 30 years, instead of twice that somber, I would take Adam Smith in my hand, and I would have a league for free trade in had, just as we had a league for free trade in corn- There is just the same authority in Adam Smith for the one as for the other, and if the matter were only properly taken up, not as a revolutionary Chartist meeting. bat as • step in political eamomy, I believe success would attend the effort. (Hear, lisar.),tod I say this, that the man who can secure the applicaticn of free trade to land and to labour will do for the English poor more than we have been able to do by the application of free trade to commerce. Besides the question of parliamentary reform which lies at the bottom of most thiop thaw is something which mast be done next year In the way of revising our financial position ; and this will follow very much as a corollary to oar new foreign policy, sod as an illustration of the finite which may be reaped from its adoption. If you avow the principle that you are not going to fight for anything but your own interest and honour- —not the honour of the harrack-rown, but the honour of the great Christian country which need never, under a wise govern ment, be dinacciaterl from its interests—l say if you acknowledge that I defy you to find a necessity for keeping up your prosestrailitary establishment, and spending 25 millions • year on the army and navy. Already I see it an- Pounced in an authoritative quarter that there is to be • reduction next year, and I am glad of it very much, for the sake of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gladstone is the best Chancellor of the Exchequer that England ham ever lied—(cheers) ;--and I do sot ha sou to my so, recollecting that smog his pre damson was William Pitt. I am sorry, how ever, to add that Mr. Gladstone has been the most extravagant chancellor who ever managed the Trea sury; he has proved himself • master in adjusting the burdens of the country. I mean that he found the weighs placed on the animal in snob • my na to render it most difficult for him to miry it ; the burden woe tied round his knees ; it was festemed to his tail—(laughter)—it being hung over his eyes it blinded him, impeded his movement., and lamed him at every step. Then came Mr. Gladstone and mimed the fettered limbs, placing the harden most ingeni ously on the softest passible (pad on the animal's shoulders,' but we most not forget that the beast is still carrying the bathes, and • gnat deal more than he had to bear before this beautiful proms was commenced. (Hear, hear.) We never bairns had a government which extracted from the country 70 ;mations of income In time of peso& People exclaim about the American expenditure. A Mend told me the other day that the Americans were speeding 2,000,000 dollars • day, and asked me whit I thought of it. I mid I thought it was rather more ; but, having regard to the depreciation of American currency and the present rats of exchange, it was very Pear the amount which Mr. Gladstone, in time of peace, was drawing from our own country. (Hear, hear.) and mind you, as long as the people of England are apt to think with that comfortable oomplecomy of theirs that they can only go abroad to find objects of pity, they will always be persuaded that they are cleverer, happier, and doing everything better than their fellows. Why is it that the Americo States have laughed to scorn the predictions of all our financial magnates and our widen on fiascos, who told them that they could not go on with the war for six months without coming to Europe for • loan ? How is it that they have deceived and disappointed the whole of Europe? Hear, bear.) It is bemuse the American people have never allowed their government to make a war expenditure in time of pesos. That is the whole morel : they ware spending for the purposes of their government from 15 to 17 millions sterling per annum when the war broke oat, and the savings then made have enabled them to go through this terrific strain. Take ten millions of savings for forty years add together ten minims of swings for forty yeses, with compound interest, and you will see what a fabulous amount it comes to. This is what America did ; but what're you doing here? You are keeping up • war expenditure in time of pesos ; sod those gentlemen who are so ready to rush into a war would find that we are crippled by our prev inn expenditure. I hope that Mr. Gladstone will be enabled during the next melon to make a large rodeo don in the *stud expenditure. I duel want to look at der tails, and we are told--and we are thereby deceived am to the actual state of thisp—that so many excise and custom drake have been reduced and abolished ; but I look at the whole amount, and I find that the customs and exam together still amount to shout forty millions darling, or more thaa you had to pay before the reductions began. I want to see how much the whole income of the taxpayer is reduced, and I hope that during the next maim Mr. Gladstone will do justice to himself. He has told es that he considers the expenditure excessive ; bat it is sailing very nor the wind for any minister, after proclaiming that he is speeding more money than he ought to justify himself by saying, it is for you, the people of England, to carne forward and provost it. (Cheers.) Mr. Gladstone is the man who has by his talents and ability enabled the government to get this money ; but lam willing to admit that, on account of his services in other respects, Mr. Gladstone is justified in remaining in the ministry ; but he has nearly finished his career of =nit old * the sources of revenue. He has nearly completed his work. Any future services that he con reader, must be in reducing the expenditure. Lord Stanley, the other day, declared that be could sos his way toss annual expenditure of sixty millions ; and I suppose that when Mr. Gladstone sees a distinguished member of the opposition making each s detri ment, he will hasten on to that amount for fear he should be taken up by the other side. He has declared the present rate of expenditure to be profligate—that I think was the term. Mr. Disraeli,' also, has talked about bloated armaments, end eo we have things all round. I do not know how the public can interfere in Mr. Glad. donee budget, but I would advise him to appeal to the people at the next election, and 1 am inclined to think that this is the only way in which they an interfere in the matter with his budget. I hold that the Home of Com mons is more extravagant than the government. We have voted upwards of five hundred millions on the army and navy mime I have been in the house, and I never saw a eagle item reduced in that time, but I have seen votes increasing in amount. Government last session attempted to effects small saving on the yeomanry, but the country gentlemen came down to the house in • body, and carried the vote against them. I trust Mr. Gladstone will appeal to the British public on the subject of this expenditure, as the only way that can be effectual, at the electioas, end I am sure they will not fail to support him. (Hear, hear.) The Horne of Commons wants an infusion of the popular element, I see before me so many of the middle classes, and beyond them so many of the operatives. It is thought by some that in the House of Commons the middle claws predominate; bat that is • great delusion, for that house is becoming more and more • rich man's club. You ma only have an infusion of the poor man's sternest by the enlargement of the rights of the people, and I ad vise the middle classes not to regard this as a mere working man's question. The middle dames, too, are interested is having • reform of parliament, in order that their influence may be inorerned, for now we us but a very small ingredient indeed. (Hear. hear.) A friend the ether day said. "I will lay you • wager that the blacks in America will vote before the English working man." I should not like to say that, but this I will say, that you cannot with safety (=lode the great nom of the people from the suffrage. This question was never beforsin the po sition in which It now stands. The bon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst prolonged and enthusiastic cheering. The following resolution, moved by Mr. &ism BTore (the ex-mayor), was than proposed and carried unani mously :—" That this meeting, having heard the annual address of Richard Cobden, FAq., M.P., hereby expresses the heartiest approval of the course he has punned during the last erasion of parliament, again affirms its oonfidencs in him as their representative, and resolves to accord him in future a most cordial and enthusiastic support."

John Macdonall Stuart's last Journey of Exploration to Northam Anetralia, with en ameonot of the country about to be colo nised the banks of the Adelaide River. By John Maatasall Staid. The last meeting of this unfortunate company, which was inaugurated with such glowing prospects about twsuty-two years ago, was held yesterday, at the Clarendon. rooms, Liverpool. There was a very limited attendance, including Mr. Ambrose Laos, Mr. John Laird, ILE. Messrs. Harold Littledge, Robert Barbour, W. L Bailey, Henry Laird, Orothie, sod ChippeudalL Hr. A. Lacs, having been called upon to preside, men tioned that he held maim representing 300,000 k of capital. Re read the report submitted by the directors, which slated that the shareholder, had not met sines fekenery 28, 1836, when the directors submitted a statement of the applieation of the 4 par rest. bonds of the corporation (of Liverpoool) towards dis ohargiag the liabilities ol the company. At that period a distribution of 10s. in the pound on the capital of the company Lad base made to the shareholders on the ten fam' bonds of the corporation , and in th e years 18364 , 7 a urther distribution of like bonds to the extent of ls. the pound on the share capital was again nods. Since that time the directors had been engaged settling the outatanding liabilities of the oompssv, which is now boo*. The prin cipal of these was the liability to make good two-thirds of the deficiency in the purchase money sod interest which might be found doe to Mr. Adamson for a teed of land on the shore of the pool which the Birkenhead Desk trustees had contracted to purchase from him, and a portion of which they had resold to the Chester and Birkenhead Railway Company. and which liability was part of the ar t by which the tint for the sale of the Birkenhead properties to the corporation of Liverpool. The directors could not take the lead in the deter. misation of the queen= between the Burkesheed Dock trustees and Mr. Adamson, but did all they amid to forward the settlement, and in 1861 the pur chase was completed. 8o far, however, from the sum payable by the railway company being sufficient to pa Mr. Adamson, the company had to pay the sum of 8, 5441. 18a. 2d. for their two-thirds of the deficiency. Nor.was this all. Au intimation was made to the directors that the railway company had not got the whole of the land agreed to be sold to them, sod that they should seek to recover back a portion of the purellase-money paid. This spit caused delay, but in June, 1864, the question was settled advantageously for the dock company, by payment of 333/. fis. Bd. as their propottioe, In the meantime Tatham other claims on the company were adjusted. The cash account, appended to the report, showed that there was now • sum of about 17,0371. available for final distribetioe, which would yield rather more than 4d. in the pound oe the capital, but there were etill one or two sums which would have to be paid out of that. In answer to Mr. LAM, M.P., The CILAIBMAX stated that the labs Mr. Resided, the en gineer, led the dock wmpany to believe that the purchase mosey to be paid by the Charter and Birkenhead Railway Company would more than cover the claim of Mr. Adam son, but it turned out that them was 14,0001. beyond the proceeds of the We to the railway company at the ode nal estimated price. Sir F. Goldenlid, whoa before the parliamentary committee on the transfer of the decks to the corporation of Liverpool, knew nothing of the details of this matter, though it was supposed ha world how every thing. The priori awarded to AU. Adamson wee 2/. 10s. pm square yard for his land, but Mr. John Stewart, in award ing the price to be paid by the railway company, allowed Daly itle, pee square yard.
