TN " ugly rush" to the platform, which we saw in the earlier pert of the week, gives Mr. Gcse wriest's appearance at Liverpool the character of a compeesation. The oratory of the right ho nourahle ntleman owes its charm so much to variety and nealth of thought, grace of expr..s aion j peed with precision, and, above all, a beau- i tiful order, characteristic of the highest class of and w. little to the adventitious aids of time and place, tbat even the distant reader rinds it easy to share in the delight with which a brilliant and an :thetitive audience heard his address on Thursday at Liverpool. The occasion was in spiring. Mr. (;LAWITI , NE addressed his fellow tOWll,lllVll, lII,t to celebrate the opening of an in stitutien of public education, which owed its origin inanity to the liberality of another townsman, Mr. WILLI t u Bime, whose munificence as a founder and benefaetor is as well known as his princely rank iii the commercial system of the count j. The new School of Science, though established by an independent effort, is grafted on the Free Library and Museum, and is designed to afford to the classes who live by labour sound 'in struction in natural history, chemistry, mathe matics, awl physics, by means of class lectures. About a hundred of the leading friends of educa tion in Liverpool, selected from every class and denomination, bad united to settle the basis of the institution, and the funds were provided by the subscriptions of the inhabitants. It is in this way that in our large towns, where prejudices are softened, and co-operation is made easy without sacrifice of principle, the superior cultivation of the more favoured classes of the community be comes diffusive, and a strong helping hand is reached out to those who are ready to undertake study in order to qualify themselves to do the work of society. Such is the practical character of the Englishman that he acquires by means of natural intelligence and determined perseverance much that in other countries is attained as the result of speculation and study. Many persons observing this fact, depre ciate scientific training. But if anybody will remark the after procedure of those who have achilved much by force of natural genius, they may notice that such men take care to give their children the advantage of a systematic education. For, how ever easily lookers-on may philosophise about the independence of native talent on the aids of regular instruction, the men who have made their way without those aids know that what is called self-education is the most costly education of all. In spite of this fact, such an education may be the best for some characters in certain circumstances ; just as in agriculture one may soe the loss re sulting from the lower economy of peasant culture sometimes more than compensated by tho stronger motives to exertion which attend proprietorship. But let not those to whom the benefits of regular instruction are held out, mistake the value of the boon. Mr. (lir usross showed by many an en tertaining instance in the history of science, the near connexion between the wonderful adaptations found in organized nature and the inventions of man ; and in the history of mind nothing is more certain than this, that the way to strengthen Cie creative faculty, the faculty of a Warr or Srs ruassoN, is to discipline the mind to habits of ob servation, comparison, and reflection, and this is the work which is to be done at the Liverpool School of Science. Mr. Guearross congratulated hie Liverpool hearers on that union of classes which is charac teristic of this courtry, and of which the meeting in St. George's Hall, crowded with representatives of every order of the community, was • token. He further went on to reflect in • tone of com placency on the fact that the pursuit of science had often been the means of bringing forth frim an obscure lot those who deserved to be eminent among their fellow-citizens. The names of FARADAY, GIOIA= Bvarnasisox, Davy, and HUGH Itnarta naturally rose to view in connexion with Ibis observation. And he added, in a sp; . it, as it seam• to na , worthy of his character and station : " I do not desire, in mentioning the progress " achieved by individu►ls, that we should appeal "to merely selfish motives. It is not the mere " possession of money that constitutes the be " nefit. It is not the mere filing of this or that " man that constitutes the benefit. It is the " healthy action which is communicated to the " whole social frame in a country where class " mixes with class, where no man can stand " simply upon tradition, although tradition is " justly respected here, but where the very lowest " and humblest of the community, by diligence and " perseverance, by making a full and regular use " of the gifts which Providence has committed to " him, may bring himself forward into the fore " most ranks, and thereby not only reap &dean " tages for himself, but may yield to others an " example that will again become the spring and the " spur to honourable industry." These remarkshave • peculiar relevancy at the present time—a value of which the right honourable speaker may not have beuu aware. Fur the constitution of society, EtPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER lt, 186 L as it affects the classes who live by labour, is now criticised and assailed as it never was before in this country, and there are unmistakeable signs that we have already entered an era in which this topic will claim the attention due to public questions of the first order. Hitherto we have been accustomed to regard with satisfaction that interpenetration of classes of which Mr. GLADSTONE spoke, and have been prouder of a FARADAY or STEPHENSON than of a dozen born dukes. Now, however, not only by the discontented workman but by Professors in our Universities the sentiment which kindled Mr. G LA ONTONE'S elo.l uence is denounced as " individual" —an epithet destined to convey infamy—and anti social. Counsel such as Jlr. GLA DSTON E others is denounced as foolish and mean, selfish doctrine, which may be li.tened to by those who are only anxious to extricate themselves from the strug gling mass, but to which the thoughtful working AMU stops his ears. It is the "great Protestant " principle—every man for himself : make the " beat bargain you can with your neighbour in " this world, and Goo in the next." And in com plete accordance with this doctrine is the praise or blame bestowed on the working man. To shut himself up in his class is fraternal ; to league against society is moral, and, above all—social. Wu are happy to think that there is too much vigour in the English character for any general acquiescence in a doctrine which strikes at the root of the prosperity of the age, makes the principle of association a source of weakness instead of an organ of power, and carries us back to the obstruc tiveness and ineptitude of the middle ages. As long as our countrymen retain their old senti ments of liberty they will never permit any man or combination of men to tell them that they in jure their fellows by making the utmost use of the faculties which Gun has given them. As long as they value development they will resist schemes devised to annihilate their individuality. We believe with Mr. GLADSTONE that the men who, by making • full and regular use of the gifts com mitted to them, attain to the foremost ranks of society, set an example that may well become the spring of honourable industry.

The Danish journal thinks there is not much reason to apprehend the creation of a German naval force, but that Prussia might increase her strength iu this direction. Denmark must, therefore, bring her fleet up to such a point of efficiency as to be prepared for any movement that Prussia may attempt. TURKEY.

It may be fairly taken for granted that the ex- I traordinary letter, cited by the huMpenitlatice Beige from a Paris pamphlet, "L'Emperenr Napoleon et le Roi Guillaume," as having been written by the Emperor to the King, at a date unknown, is a genuine one. Although the pamphlet was pub lished in Paris four days ago, not a word is breathed in any official quarter against the authen ticity of the letter. It shows that the Emperor dues affect to have treated privately with the King of Prussia of important political questions at Baden Baden, and that he wished to renew discus sion with him unfettered by " diplomacy " at Compihtfue. A letter from Geneva, dated yesterday, states that M. Thouvenel has peremptorily disavowed the libellous article in the Coastatitionuel which has justly caused so much sensation in Switzerland. But the French minister refuses to put the dis avowal in the Monikur, and it does not even ap pear that the Ceastitutiopiad will be visited with a rouonnaignel. This is not satisfactory, because everybody knows that the Onistifutionad, which has no opinions of its own, would never have run its head against such a post unless it supposed itself to be sufficiently prompted. In the present aspect of affairs it only appears as if the French govern ment had said something rash which it cannot stand to.

Would not this be thought a choker, even in Eagleson to Marshal de Slac3lahoo for the expenses of his MialliOQ to Konigsberg. To give an idea of the grand display the marshal will make on this occasion, it will suffice to see at Binder's the four carriages he will take with him. The finest, which was used at the coronation of the Emperor of Russia, has had 20,006. expended on it in repairs. ' " Au imperial decree published by the Mina teur enacts that, from the 15th of this month to the 30th of September, 1862, corn, flour, rice, potatoes, and pulse, conveyed on rivers and canals, shall be freed from all internal navigation duties paid to government ; also, that foreign vessels conveying cargoes of such articles shall be exempt from the same duties. This is not one of the matter-of course decrees, carrying out the commercial treaty, but a new measure, destined to lessen the pressure of the present distress by facilitating the distribu tion of food. Having promulgated, on the strength of the detailed statement of the Araterecuin of Brest, the extraordinary assertion that Prince Napoleon made the passage from Boston to Brest in seven days, I shall uot fail to record the exact truth as soon m I can get at it. But truth, contrary to strict commercial theories, is in this country an article at once rare and little prized. Some papers now say that the passage was made in nine days, and others in eleven, but the dates of his departure from Boston and arrival at Brest, aa given by the Armoricain, namely Sept. 30, and Oct. 7, are notyet corrected. The Bourse has been dull without any peculiar feature. The unfavourable character of the Bank returns was fully anticipated, and therefore had little effect on the market.

The following letter, which may probably be taken u an " official " explanation of the step lately taken by the two French princes in America, appears in the Delete of to-day : _ . " A correspondent writes to us from New York os September 24:—' It is quite true, as you have already heard, that the Count of Paris and the Duke of Chartres have been admitted as officers of the staff into the Federal army. The two young princes left England at the commencement of the month in the company of their uncle, the Prince de Joined's. The prince Intended to take his young um, the Duke of Penthii:vre, to the United States Naval School. His two nephews went to America simply on a tour of pleasure and information. Received at New York with the most 'Mitering distinction, they went to Washington to thank the heads of the Federal government for such a receptiou. Thence it was their intention to proceed to the far west as one of the first halting places in their trip. But once in Washington, the scene by which they were surrounded, the exciting spectacle of a numerous army of volunteers, formed, so to speak, under the fire of the enemy, impelled them to bummer:tors in the great events which are preparing. Moreover, how many reasons more serious attach them to the cause which they serve! The cause, no one can doubt, V good. Although they do not proclaim it very loudly as yet, the abolition of slavery is at the bottom of the quarrel which arms the volunteers of the north. It is a war in which humanity itself is coo awned. Besides, that which is also at stake is the government of the great American Union, which the blood of France contributed to found nearly 100 years ago. The llama of the sons of the Duke of Orleans, of the grandsons of the King Louis Philippe, may figure with honour upon the glorious list where shine already those of Rochambeau, of Mathieu Dumas, of Seger, and of Lafayette. The Count of Paris and the Duke of Chartres are, then, included from this time in the ranks of the Federal army as aides-de-cempe of the General in-Chief, McClellan. The node of the young princes, the Prince de Joinville, present when their determination was taken, has approved it. The eldest of the two brothers has frankly avowed that he was unable to resist this opportunity, unique, perhaps, of acquiring as a soldier a practical experience of which, more than say thing else, be felt the desire end the need.' " The Lerma Herald of October 2 says Very many of our readers will regret to be apprised of the death of Mr. Wilkinsou, fur many years her Majesty's Consul at Syra. The deceased gentleman was one of the oldest members of our consular service in the Levant, and in the long muster-roll of his colleagues had no superior, and but few equals. in sterling excellence of character." The Levant IferaM of the 2nd says :—" His Royal Highness the Count de Chambord arrived at Con- stantinople by the Kustendjie steamer of Saturday from 'Vienna, cm rmatc for the Holy Land and Egypt, accompanied by the following suite :—The Duke de Levis, the Count de Monti, the Count de la Ferronays, the Count de Blacas, the Count de Nana, the Abbe 'l'rebuquet, Dr. Flock, and M. Monett, besides a numerous company of inferior attendants. The illustrious party proceeded at once from the steamer to Misserie's Hotel, where apartments bad previously been engaged by telegraph. Since &dui , day, his royal highness has diligently 'done' the sights of the capital and Bosphorus, but, out of a readily intelligible delicacy, hag declined to avail himself of the brute, carriages, and attendant officers which the Porte promptly placed at his disposal. More than one of the resident foreign minis tate ham, we are informed, privately tendered their respects to the illustrious visitor. His royal highness continues his voyage to Berme. by the Austrian Lloyds' steamer of to day." A letter from St. Petersburg, dated the 6th, sa y s :—" I learn, to my astonishment, that the University o g Ss. Petersburg has been closed. Admiral Count Pigtail received the professors to-day for the first time stage his appointmeut, and spoke to them of the necessity of gippreasiog a movement on the pa r t o f th e s t u d en t s which the professors think ought to he, not suppressed, but directed. After a very unsatisfactory interview the Minister of Instruction declared that the lectures must be discontiourd, and for the preswt, sad until an indefinite period, Do more domes will be held at the chief educational establishment of Roads. This step is looked upon as the beginning of . a great readies, and has already caused immeam austarwiaß" TUN KING OF BONNY. The brig Bewlch, with Poppet, King of Bonny, his wife and suite, arrived at Bonny on the 20th August, after a lung and tedious voyage. On the arrival of the Athenian at Bonny, the purser, Mr. Le Brun Corric, and two of the passengers went on board the brig, to pay their respects to their Majesties. They found the King bitting in his state room, dressed in an admiral's undress uniform, surrounded by secretary and clerks. He was in very good health, and seemed glad when once more in sight of the shores of Bonny. The Queen still adhered to the English , style of dress—being enveloped in au enormous crinoline, and a "Kiss-me-quick" bonnet. Sbe was invited on board the Athenian to dinner, and gladly accepted the invitation ; but towards even ing, to the great astonishment of those on board, she refused to leave the steamer, it being, she said, " too comfortable." After much expostulation and a great deal of " palaver," the officers of the Athenian, with the assistance of six Kroomeu (for the Queen weighs about 17 stone), succeeded in lowering her Majesty into a boat, and sent her on board to her husband about two a.m. _ _ The King had not landed up to the time of the departure of the mail, and it wait then uncer tain when it would be safe for him to do so. Three out of the four Regents, who have ruled the coun try during the King's absence in England, are agreeable to his landing, and once more resuming the government of the country, provided he be satisfied with the cowries or revenues of the place —which amount to about 7,0001. per annum—and not trade. Those who are against his reigning as king are principally people of his own house. Pre parations have been, and aro still making on a large scale for a war ; but as the natives never let the white men know their real intentions, one can not positively assert whether they will fight or not. The white traders had applied to the senior officers of the Bights for a gunboat to be kept in the river until such time as King Peppel shall have landed and been crowned King ; and also for the protection of their ships and property. On the let Septem be r a very extensive conflagra tion broke out in Bonny, and destroyed half of the houses in the town, and a large quantity of powder and rum. A new house, the principal one in the town, the property of Ocho Sumbo, was destroyed, besides several of his canoes, which were moored alongside of his wharf. He did not save a single article, and before he could go on board any of the ships in the river he was obliged to send and borrow a shirt, which article of dress is the only one deemed requisite to wear. Those in England who have known Ocho in Bonny will regret to hear of biz loss, as he is a native who is very much respected by all who have ever bad dealings with him. ' The friends of the women who went with the King of Bonny—one as a lady in waiting to the Queen, the other as teacher—will, no doubt, be glad to hear that they intend returning in the Bewlch, being satisfied that Bonny is not a fit place for any respectable white woman to live in. TRADE ON THE COAST, ko. Palm oil was rather plentiful on the rivers and on the cease. but the prices still continued to keep up very high. The health in the . Bights, on the west coast, was, accord ing to the latent minces, very good. Strong sea breezes and very cold weather had been experienced in Bonny River for ' ten weeks • in fact such as, in the memory of th e oldest trailers, ha ve never been known before. At Sierra Leone and Bathurst (river Gambia) there had also been a continuance of very heavy rains. At Bathurst many cases of fever had textured, but only two proved fatal. The natives at Lagos and the surrounding neigh bourhood were very quiet. Her Majesty's ship Prometheus was still inside the liar. The Buffalo was to proceed up the Niger to render assistance to the war steamer &pew and the exploring steamship Sunbeam—both of which vessels were prevented getting down the river on account of the lowness of the waters. Speaking of the growth of cotton on the coast, the Writ African Herald says :—" We are certainly not doing much towards cotton planting yet; and, in spite of some en couragement and earnest recommendation from parties in. tweeted in the welfare of this country, we do not think much will be done till capital comes forward. Our native farmers who are rich enough will not engage in the cul tivation of a new article, for which there does not, in fact, seem to he a demand. Why do these farmer' grow core, yams, Plantains, peppers, fruits? Why du they culti. rate the palm tree ? Simply because they know that their palm oil, peppers, corn, yams, fruits, he, find a ready and onastant sale. Bat what merchant asks for cotton! Who says to the farmer - "There are 1001. on credit for you. Go, grow cotton and part roe with it at so much per pound." But this is done to tbase who will bring palm oil, or corn, or gold dust ; and until it is done in respect of cotton, none will be grown—that is to say, not enough for exportation. In the eastern district theme is prngteaa being made in the cultivation of coffee, and we are glair to learn that the plan tations are doing well. The harvest this yew bas realised out expectations, being better than usual" THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Ocr. 11.

HISS NIGHTINGALE ON THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. On Thursday evening the Winslow and Bucking ham Corps of Vo!unison; proceeded to ClayiMu Home, the magnificent residence of Sir H. Verney, M.P., who had in vited them to partake of his hospitality. In the course of the evening Sir Harry read the two following letters from Miss Nightingale: " Hampstead, Oct. 8. "My dear Sir Harry,—l like to hear of your volunteers. I wish I could be with you. But my heart is with you all. At the beginning of this year we had 150,000 volunteers— and already we hear, from the best military authorities, that they are capable of numteuvring and executing movements with regular troops. To one who knows the stuff of which the Anglo•Seson is made (no man knows him better than I doh, this is riot surprising. These volunteers are of the same race with that handful of men who defended their trenches at Sebastopol--as the Greeks held the position of Thermo pylre —and who when dying of slow torture in hospital drew their blankets over their heads, and died without a word, like the heroes of old. Thank God. our volunteers have not to undergo these slow agonies in the defence of their country. But 1 for one (tied I speak notwithstanding an experience of the horrors of war which no man has had) was not at all sorry to see the spirit of war brought home to our people's lives io the glorious rising of the volunteers. A country needs retempering sometimes. England, from her grand mercantile and commercial successes. has Leen called sordid ; God knows she is not. The simple courage, the untiring patience, the goodsense, the strength to suffer in silence— what nation shows more of this in war than is shown by her commonest soldier? I have seen men dying of dysentery. but scorning to report themselves sick lest they should thereby throw more labour on their comrades, go down to the trenches and make the trene'oen their deathbed. There is nothing in history to compare with it—other nations may do it for glory, but we for duty, 'as the Duke of Welliogtoa said. I say nu outs baa seen the horrors of war as I have, yet I was glad to see the spirit of war arising in our volunteers. If both French and English statesmen have recorded, upon their own observation, that the most intelligent, the most 'well-doing, the must respect. able, in the best sense of Caat word, in any French village or district, are always those returned from serving out their time on conscription, and if this is the case with ':hose who have given a compulsory service for a government which we English cannot respect. what ought not the wen to become who give a free service for a free country, like our volunteers! Say what men will, there is something more truly Christian in the man who gives his time, his strength, his life, if need be, for something not himself, whether he call it his Queen, his country, or his colours, than in all the asceticism, the fasts, the humiliations and conies alone which have ever been made ; and this spirit of giving one's life, without calling it a sacri fice, is found nowhere so truly as iu England. This is a spirit which animates our armies and our volunteers. But there must be mere drill, more discipline, as the muse of Leeching bow orders ere to be obeyed, more acting in con cert to make our volunteers perfect—and our volunteers mean to be quite perfect. It is wonderful how much they have done already in precision. On the saddest night of all my life, two mouths ago, when my dear chief, &bey Herbert, lay dying, and I knew that with him dial much of the welfare of the British army—he was, too, so prowl, so justly proud of his volunteers—on that night I lay listening to the lands of the volunteers as they mime marching ID successively—it had been a review day—and I said to my self, The nation can never go back which is capable of such a movement as this, not the spirt of an hour. These are men who have all something to give up; all men whose time is valuable for money, which Is not their god, as other nations sometimes say of us. One of the beat appointments my dear chief made was Colonel M•Munlo, the Inspector-General of Volunteers. I knee him in the Crimea, where he executed the most difficult ser vice, that of organising the Laud Transport, with the utmost success ;no doubt the volunteers have full confidence in him. It was whispered to me in Sidney Herbert's time that Buckinghamshire had been behindhand in Ler tribute volunteers. le that the cam now! 1 hope not. But if so, it makes those who have volunteered all the more worthy. If I might venture to do so, I would gladly ask you to offer them from me a pair of colours. Probably, however, they have them. If so, I can only offer them from the bottom of my heart the best wishes of one who has • fought the good fight' for the army seven years this very mouth, without the intermission of one siogle waking hour. " FLORME NIGHTINGALL" " (, 9. " I should have thought it a presumption to write to the volunteers if not desired by you. Itly point, if there ass one, was to tell them that one who has seen mom 0311 :lay man what a horrible thing war is, 3et feels more than any man that the military spirit in a good cause, • that of ones country,' is the finest leaven which exists for the national spirit. I have known intimately the Sardinian soldier. the French soldier, the British soldier. The:San:lint:in lesses:li better appointed than we were. The French were both nom numerous and more accustomed to war than wo were, vet I have no hesitation in saying that we had the better military spirit, the true volunteer spirit to endure hardship for our country's sake. I remember a sergeant. who, on picket, the rest of the picket killed sod himself battered about the Lead, stumbled Lack to camp, soil so his way picked up a wounded men and brought him on his ale:edam to the lines, wheu he fell dowa insensible. When, after many hours, he recovered Lis senses, I believe, k after trepanning, his first wa n ts were to asek after his comrade, •Is he alive? ' Comrade, indeed, yes, lie's alive—it is the general.' At that moment the oeral. though badly woneded, eppeared at the r • Oh, general, it's you, is it, I brought in ? I so glad, I didn't know your honour. But, -—, if I'd it was you, I'd have saved you all the same.' This is the true soldier's spirit. Lastly. I would impress on the yeller teen the necessity of drill, practiro. exercise, brigade movements. Garibaldi's volunteers did excellently In guerilla movement. ; they failed before a fourth-mte re a galas. army. We trust that our voluuteers will never koow what real war is ; but they must make thenieelveis reputation to be feared by the enemy, in order not to ere that enemy ever at their own hearthstones. " FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. After a number of toasts, amongst them Lady Verve!. the sister of Miss Nightingale, had been given and responded ! to, the guest. adjourned to an adjoining saloon for coffee, , and afterwards marched home, highly gratified with Ms proceedings of the evening.
