The annual meeting of the National Amociation far the Promotion of Social Bcieoa area opened in °lasso* yesterday (Monday). A buSii;ess meeting of the council and other preliminary meetings took place during the day. In the @veiling, the city hall wee crowded with a brilllent aasemblage to hear the inaugural eddies@ of the prosiest, the Right Hon. Lord Brougham and Vauz. The following is an abstract of it : "It is impossible to open the congress without ex pressing the satidaction felt by all that this, our fourth niesting, shagld be held in the great capital of the west of floothind—the centre of her manufactures, and the em poritun of her trade. But we are also highly gratified at finding ourselves in a place. not mor renowned in the history of commerca than in that of philosophy, and of those branches of philosophy which have exercised the most important influence in the promotion of social science. It was here that Black mad* those discoveries which have changed the face of natural Kidelle more than any since the days of Newton ; that Watt gave the great invention to the world which has nude such an alteration in its aspect, and such a revolution in its foe %Mu i felt *SIM! alol.o4.mei-Minepeenlienfll4-10•6110 civet geometry Which he restored ; that Reid placed the philosophy of mind upon its firm foundations, and freed it from sceptical gee* ; that Milian tinned the history of the constitution, and freed it from vulgar errors of an empirical kind as well as those of alsolutiets ; that Smith established those sound doctrines now happily become the faith of practical statesmen as they had long been of the learued— connecting the commercial gains of all nations with the improvements of each, and making their mutual intercourse a mutual end equal benefit and the bond of peace. Nor let it be forgotten that here the great step was made by Birk beck (on which five-andthirty years ago I congratulated yea) of throwing open to all classes the temple of science, ad showing that the highest intellectual cultivation is per fectly compatible with the daily cares and toils of working mem These are proud recollections for Glasgow ; and Yds pride is shared, not envied, by her sister, Edinburgh, whose own glories are far too bright to dread being out shone. The hospitable reception for which we are thankful here Is given to the Fast as well as to the South ; and, though locally on the Clyde, the congress embraces the Forth, and the Thames, and the Liffey." " In the outset of oar proceedings we are naturally led to mirk the progress of sopa science in past times, as well as at this day. The novelty of the name to designate what was before unknown in its various branches proves bow little till of late years men had devoted themselves to these in quiries in the aggregate, although particular eubjecta might more or less have engaged the attention of different denies, without regard to the relation subsisting among them. But Milted we canuot go far lack in the history of statesmen and lawgivers, and of the community at large, without the conviction that the attention of any clams fixed exclusively upon one or other of the branches is only to be observed in the more recent period of our social annals. We shall best ascertain the progress of our science by carting an eye over the history of the parties which have divided both the rulers and the people, mei ob serving what attention was given to it, and how' bar it entered into their controversies. "That men of rare endowments flourished in these times— indee d of the highert qualities over displayed in public We— is undeniable ; and that their talents fitted them for go veroment in an extraordinary degree is as certain as that by their eloquence they were masters of debate. Besides Wulpole, there was Pulteney, of first-rate distinction as an orator, and Bolingbroke, &counting to all tradition, the very first of modern times.

One inferenoe of much importance which he drew from the improve ments effected in the oonditiou of the poor, including the vagrant class, is the salutary tendency of incre ased comforts to lesion the number of crimes, as well as to mitigate their character, both in the civil and military pot tier of the community. There can be no greater en souragement to our efforts in augmenting the comforts of the people than the high and pure gratification derived from the conviction that increase of happinese is attended 'with Marie of virtue, that the good bestowed makes men more worthy to receive and enjoy it. Nothing can be more prifying in this. and in every other view, than the success of the peat measure which the working dames themselves have lately adopted to provide for their comfort, to husband their resources, and to protect them from imposition, by the formation of empties societies, and happily these have greatly multi • especially in the menuhe turing districts of Lams ire and Yorkshire. Such socie ties are of two kinds. The one has for its immediate object to expend the income of each member to the beet admin. tags for himself ; the other to enable him to obtain the largest return for his capital and industry. This most in teresting subject will certainly occupy both our grata and judicial departments. On the temperer* question his lordship said:—" At our last congress great attention vies given to the important sub loct of temperance, mil especially to the necessity of primer. mg public opinion for them repressive measures which expo /tenor daily proves more and more dearly to lie required for lessening the consumption of spirituous liquors. The =source of pa up erism and of crimes has only been attacked by palliatives, and although these have had a certain success, yet if there be any means not exposed to serious objections by which the evil may be extirpated, the gain to society would be incalculable.

A very ex tensive adhesion has been given to the proposal in the great districts of Manchester and Birmingham, and this be aides it. intrinsic merits will be quite sufficient to cause a searching examination by our departments—sanitary and of jurisprudence. That it deeply concerns both need not be added. But which, of all our departments, does it not most deeply concern ! Remember the memorable expres sion of the great philanthropist, our eminent colleagr, the Breeder of Birmingham : ' Whatever step I tai aex Mr. to ' and in whatever direction I may s t drink demon starts up before use, and blocks the way." " But," proceeded his lonlaklp , " although the dif ferent branches of social science and their principles are in this country removed from the influences el party se • disturbing force, that influence must, of coup, constantly interfere with the adoption of the measures which these principles lead us to recommend. Hence the conduct of the government end of the legislature becomes a most important subject of consideration ; but we are, by the constitution of our body, obliged to confine this discussion within somewhat narrow limits, more especially avoiding all personal or party topics. It is, however, both permitted that we direct our attention to those parts of the political system which prove obstructive to the progress of social improvement, or which are more or law shown to have that tendency, in the history of our times. Any defects of this description, whether in the power of the government or in the uniform course of its practical administration—my such obstructions arising from the structure, or the action of the branches themselves, of the legislature, fall within the scope of our legitimate disc :eras ,• to be undertaken respectfully as to the manlier, cautiously es to the subject•mattera, and tona -1 perattly and considerately as to the suggestions offered ; regard being had to the great importance of the interests involved, and to thedignity as well as the power of the authm rities a hose constitution or whose proceedings are in question. The greatest obstruction to the conduct of brines in the ' two houses of parliament, particularly in the Commons, Mies from the reluctance to fetter discussion either by roles binding upon the members, or by res training the speakers in their addresses. Besides the question before the house, and on the merits °. which a speech must always be regular, there are many questions in debating which post latitude Is taken, 10 IS to introduce topics quite foreign to the subject matter itself. Thus, upon a motion for adjournment, although the only matter in question is whether there shall be an adjournment or not, it Is the Inveterate habit to introduce any subject an which say speaker desires to be beard, however foreign to the question of adjourning. Now the motion to adjourn either the house or the debate may be made at any time, sod may be repeated any Dumber of times. Then, as the Me Is absolute that except in committees no member shell speak raw than once in any debate, he may evade the ride by moving as adjournment and could only be pre vested by the ger ral upriar which it would probably ucca. sire fres spsakLgsgain upon the question, under colour of snmsorting the emotion to adjourn. Yet this is y the only &bur of the motion to adjourn which has ever been committed. Upon this motion, repeated speeches are made and divisions had, sometimes for the avowed purpose of defeating a measure supported by a vast majority, sometimes in order to delay its pro gram. It is to be observed that all obstructions of this kind —indeed, of every kind—arise from the rights of • mi nority, however inommiderable. If but a few peters themselves together they may occasion as great a 1 71 4 Z as If they composed • numerous and powerful body. The mare prolixity of speech is far from being the only cause of obstruction. The number of speakers is • very great cause. There are many members so insignificant that beyond • few of their own connexions they are wholly unknown, ex art to their own constituents. Bat they desire to speak— ark beams shag would court these cestileents, or impels them with a notion of their importance; next, became tier/ commider that they gain general reputation by their speeches.

In the first plane, the necessity of a minister of justice bee become manifest; what Were was deemed highly evedient is now plainly. shown to be requisite. It can hardly be doubted that any one of the late failures, of which all men now complain, would have- been prevented bad we possessed the ineetr nimble advantage of a department responsible for tarrying the measuresjudicroualy selected, and with careand skill prepared. No one can deny that, to take the most remar ka ble in stants, the Bankruptcy Bill, dismembered of the pros-Woes which were little more than enactments, but formed • huge, an appalling mass—relieved from the dares most ob jected to, and entrusted to those who had to other work and were answerable for its prang through the Commons — would have reached the Lords in time to be considered and adopted—if, indeed, it had not, as most probably would have been the ors, been lint brought into the Lords at a period when they had little to do and the Commons were overwhelmed, or acted as if they felt overwhelmed, with work. The like would have happened with every one of the other bills, as well these which failed as those which pared in debate, or with an amount of discussion barely decent. allut farther illustration wee given of such • department's im portance in conducting the important duty of deciding in the exercise of the high and delicate prerogative of mercy. Does any one now affect to doubt that this should be emoted he • lawyer! The whole subject of • Department of Jus tice has long been in the hands of our able, learned, and excellent colleague, the late Chancellor of Ireland, who, indeed, obtained the sanction of the COMMON to • resolution which he moved ; and we may truly affirm that no reflecting person now entertains any doubt upon the question except as to whether the un divided responsibility of a dingle minister should not be preferred to the advantage derived from the concurreeoe of severl, and from the greater weight thus possessed, as well as the fuller investigation of difficult questions. The other warning offered by the late session relates to the consolidation of the law. Bills carefully prepared by suc cessive committee* of the Lords, with the sad of the ablest daughtemen, and after the fullest dieetweloes attended by experienced criminal lawyers, and after »porta of commissioners upon all the details—bills which embodied • earolidatioo of tie law upon the moat important heads of crime, were sent down to the Commons ; and it was found impossible to proceed a single step in the considera tion of them. But utterly hopeless es any such attempt must have proved in the peat erosion, and with the weight under which it laboured, there was prorated to the minds of all reflecting persons, in a stronger light than ever, the absolute necessity of performing this important work in one way, and the utter impossibility of ever socotuplishing it in any other—lamely, the Com mons agreeing to repose confidence in those who bad pre pared the digest, *specie/1y the Lords, who had examined, considered, and approved tt ; thus adopting the woodier floe as wowed, and not discussing it in detail. The de bate of some hundred clauses of • code in • house of some hundred members, comprising lawyers in either kind barrister and attorney—recorders of burghs and corsair tree, justices giving ear to the town clerks, chairmen of amiass and other magistrates, countrygentlemen instructed bytheir solicitors, bankers and merchants withsons at the bar, di letante law reformers—presents to the mind such a picture endless preload and rejection, cavil and comment, that the bare aspect is enough to lettuce slumbers in the least somnolent, or confuse and turn round the steadiest head. All men are now agreed that the only question is, shall there be • consolidation or not, panel of and preliminary toe renpletecode or diger of the law ; in other words shall the r 'eminent of this country perform itshigh and imperative arty of bringin g the people under its rule acquainted with thelaws to protect their rights ; but also the laws to which it requires their obedience, euforting that obr thence by the severest penalties. If the affirmative Drawee is giveo, there can be only one manner of working to trains the code. Whoever desires to have it discussed in detail, that is the clauses merely stating what the existing law is, without proposing any change—whoever Mara upon dis cussing thefdiction adopted in framing these clauses (for that is al)—has a shorter and simpler mode of declaring his opinion, or rather of declaring what he means ; his real meaning is that there shall be no consolidation, no digest, no code. It ia to be expected that the department of jurir prudes., will examine these two great subjects, a depart ures of justice and the consolidation of the law, with the care which their paramount importance so manifestly pre scribes At our first meeting, in 1857, the subject of judicial statistics was brought under consideration in the able and useful papers read by Mr. L. Levi ; and, in consequenoe the discussion which took place, very considerable improve reside were introduced into that department of the Trea sury, so that at our last congress hopes were eutertained of such complete end regular 113 'inflation being afforded as the annual report of the - Minister of Justice prevents in France. A most important step has since been made in that dime lion. The meeting of the International Statistical Con gress has been held under the presidency of the Prince Con- sort, whose opening address, marked by the sound seem, the accurate information, and the general ability which distinguieli all his royal highness's exertions, ts in the hands of all our members. Having been requested to superintend the judicial department, and having afterwards, in his royal highneas's absence, pre sided at the general meeting, it was a great satisfaction to find the unanimous adoption of the plan which it beams my duty to report, embodying the resolution in full detail upon the whole subject; and there was a strong recommendation unanimously passed, urging the government to appoint a permanent Statistical Com inimion. The report has been presented to the House of Linde (where, indeed, I had amoral years before brought forward the revolutions which formed its groundwork this year), and it is now among the printed papers of the session. There were naturally present at this international Congress eminent men from various parte of the Continent, and in announcing the assembly of the present meeting, took the liberty of inviting those tlistinguishal foreigners, with whose presence, I trust, we are now honiotred. Among others was ane gentleman of great respect ability and talents, Dr. Delaney, who had attended dif. faint departments, and, iu his able address, had communi cated useful information and suggestions. When inviting him to this congress I informed him that he would have the satisfaction of visiting the country which test de clared a slave free the instant he touches British ground. Dr. D.'s forefathers were African slaves ; he is himself • native of Canada. It is truly painful to reflect that al though his family have been free for generations, his origin being traced to one whom the crimes of white men and Christians bed enslaved, he would be, in the land of trans atlantic liberty, incapable of enjoying any civil right's what ever, and would be treated in all respects as an alien, the iniquity of the fathers being inexorably visited, not upon their children, bu. upon the children of their victims, to allpnerations—childrim whom only o ff ence being the suf. fairings el their parents, whose wrongs they inherit with their hue. g I " Connected with statistics is a subject which oocu pied our sanitary department last year, the defects in 1 our public records of aukness and mortality, and the valuable papers of Mr. Bellamy gory rise to much discussion. The council appointed a com mittee to investigate the question, and resolutions were agreed to, me which a communication was opened with the government. There can be no doubt that the present' system will receive netsuke/ and improvement. 17a - fortunately, as much cannot be said respecting the report of another committee named by the council on the defects of the espouse' 18b1, and their valuable suggestions for its im -1 prersansat in Intl. Them were kindly received by the gem:mee4 and attention to than was promised ; but the act, as passed, does not provide for any material improve ment.

Several japers upon various views of the subject will be read at tins meet- It may now only further be Asked that the meeting held in last June, prorded over by Lord Shaftesbury, was very nameroualy attended. The great object of finding em ployment suitable to educated women was fully considered ; and our semetary, Mr. Hastings, took .prominent and use ful part in the discussion. Among other occupations, low engrostng book -keeping, and printing may be mentioned as well fitted for educated females. The printing press, conducted under Miss Faithful's superintendence, bas been eminently succeasful, and since the meeting in June, has received the high sanction of the ueen's approval, signified in • letter by her Majest y's commands. It is very gist yin( to find that the expeience of this press has re moved most, if not all, the o bjections which were at first raised against the plan. It is fit to add that the enermy, perseverance, and discretion of Miss Faithful have mainly contributed to this happy result. " The subject of trades' societies and strikes en attrition at the last meeting, on the dueordon of the preliminary report of • special committee appointed by the council, and of v e ry able and Interesting pipers presented by Messn.

Of the great frequency of fatal accidents lately to be de plored, those on railways really urgently demand attention, and their causes cannot be fully investigated without the suggestion of some preventive. It is remark able that the evil is confined to Great Britain. In France the greater discipline, and more careful administration, even more than the lesser speed and the want of excursion trains, is probably the rea son that grave accident, there are all but unknown. The other class of injury to persons, often fatal, is that of care less or foolhardy and adventurous travellers being severely hurt, often losing their lives, in attempts to climb or de scend dangerous passes, in neglect or in defiance of their guide's advice. The misery thus inflicted on families-- the public injury thus oomaioned—should be impressed upon men's minds, and the guilt. incurred by their care lessness or obstinacy. A life thus thrown away is by self-slaughter, not self-murder • and the crime bean the same relationoto suicide that m anslaughter does to murder. " It may be recollected that at Bradford a very important discussion arose in a branch meeting, over which I hail the honour to preside, upon the question of direct or indirect taxation, and I presented a report describing the diversity of opinion which prevailed on the general subject, but stating the conclusion at which we had, with great unanimity, ar rived in favour of repealing the numerous duties so op pressive to trade and so unproductive to revenue. In consequence of the Bradford discussion ' a special committee was appointed by the council, and will report at this con gress ; but its report will be confined to a statement of the • • opinions held embodied in two short papers—one by Mr. ewroarch, the well-known statist, the other by our secretary, Mr. Hastings. The committee expressly de eased propounding any opinion of their own, thinking that the question esquires more careful investigation and more dispimionate discussion than it has hitherto received. Our association, standing aloof from political parties and class interests, and viewing the subject as a problem of science to be solved without prejudioe or passion, is the fittest Owe for such a discussion. " Social science is not confined to our country, and it is • duty, as well as • gratification, to observe its progress in other nations. The number is south of European states in which a popular government affords the security of measures being proposed by the rulerrs calculated to benefit the people as well as themselves. But the diffusion of knowledge has nude so manifest the tendency of an enlightened policy to promote the interests of the commuuitv, and thus in the result to serve the government also, that the attention of absolute sovereigns has been drawn, if not driven, to such courses as must increase the wealth of their sub** and consequently their own resources, and might also promote the comforts of the people, for which they pro- bably cared little, unless as tendieg to preserve order and quiet without the controul of force. Such sovereigns, too, have facilities for making and moulding laws, and effecting changes in the institutious, as well am the policy of the State—facilities which nude the French sect, the CEcono mists, prefer what they termed • legal despotism to • popu lar form of government, and made even Bentham regard such • system with envy, when pressed by the difficulty of carrying forward his plane for the improvement of our jurisprudence. It is unnecessary to dwell on the grossness of the delusion arising from such one-sided views of the subject ; but we may admit that some compensation is thus afforded by despotism for its great and various evils. "Mightily must the cultivators of social science rejoice in such noble conduct of the absolute sovereigns to whom the fortunes of so vast a portion of the world are entrusted, and full well they know that their cause mainly rests upon the preservation of pesos abroad and the maintenance of order at home. Well may they apply to social science the Roman orator's words, spoken of his own fart—' Paris comesutians et jam woe constitutes republics alumni.' Truly she is the offspring of peace, and by • greater than the Roman charity, gratefully give* her pions support to her parent. Let us not fear danger to thisfirst of blowing, from any quarter, by the pursuit of warlike glory, guilty, mid as senseless as guilty, among any of our neighbours. An emi nent political economist at our last congress declared that he only dreaded the arts of the fiend, the enemy of man kind, tempting his countrymen with a laurel, instead of the Zii i z:th which he deceived our first parent'. But it is to observe the same individual now announcing his entire confidence in the pacific tendency el that enlightened policy to which he has so greatly contributed. lu his hopes we mmtaltogether share ; in the greater part of his confidence also But it is no mark of mistrust in others that we trust our selves more ; and we must all heartily rejoice in the spirit of determination to be well prepared which the country univer sally shows. Let as also rejoice in the training to which it has given rise. Ass mere sanitary measure this association has a right to own it and highly to estimate its value. But on far more lofty grounds we are bound to exult in it, for it is the pledge of peace. Here, above all other places, such feel- Isp are natural and appropriate. We are in the land sane tiled by the struggle. of religion, and renowned for support big her sister, Freedom, in the worst of times.
