A !ate edition of the Krpreas ii published every cumin during the racing season, containing the results of the date's I r the central .Jcs of the British Association is eoneetly stated to be tho union of theory and practice, then its members am this year singularly happy iu seeing it embodied in their President and reflected in their place of meeting. The great ness of Manchester is not to be ascribed to any single cause. Its dynamic forces must doubtless be sought first of all in moral qualities, in the foresight and self-control, fortitude, concen tration, and a courageous, resolute spirit of enter prise. These characteristics of her leading men have made Manchester what she is. But if we inquire how they built up the fabric of her magnificence, we are led to consider first of all the unexampled combination of science and skill which is embodied in her manufacturing system. When Alixe SMITH wrote "The Wealth of Nations", he found the leading principle of the manufactures of his day to be the division of labour. On the possibility of splitting up all employments into an indefinite number of minute processes, depended the progres4 of manufacturing improvement. In order that production might advance beyond the limited capacities of a few cunning workmen, large numbers of hands and eyes were to be trained to the rapid multiplication of the separate parts of the article to be produced, and so indus trial occupation was degraded, while the more empiricism, in which some mistaken writers have placed the happiness of he workman, was retained. The introduction of automatic machinery revolu tionized the ecJuorny of manufactures. Vacess mires brass and leather duck, which only needs) to be wound up to dabble in . the wain, quack, preen its feathers, and gobble and digest food, was the last toy on which that great mechanician wasted his powers. But when, as inspector of silk factories, ho began to in vent mills and machines to increase the wealth of society, be was pelted for his pains. Had Ass mourn, the chief author of the factory system in Ragland, succumbed to similar difficulties, the external power, the internal constitution, both social an f political, of England must have become by this time entirely and essen tially different from that which we see at present. Ever since the time when he laid the foundation of the factory system, the principal manufacture of this country has tended to become less dependent on the human hand and more dependent on the human brain. And with out paradox, and simply in consequence of the growth of the manufacture, the number of work people it directly and indirectly supports has never aimed to increase. The North has always had a high reputation for its " practical men." But we must not be &- Mind by a !Aran): allpee..!!!7 ;fflpatint 'as young should well understand that the mar vellous promise of the community in that part of England has not been effected without theoretical study. Its suns have a peculiar way of marrying science acid art. Mr. FAIIIIAISK, 1111010 address all England has just read, and who has won honourable distinctions from the chief sovereigns of Europe, has informed those who wish to follow in his steps how ho prepared himself to beco.ne the first machine-maker in Man chester, and afterwards the factory architect, the iron ship builder, and the discoverer of un suspected constructive capacities in iron-plate girders. In his " Useful Information for Ea " gineers." speaking of the period of his life lying . between the sixteenth and the twenty-fourth years of his age, he says:—" I need to teach myself, and " that without the aid of either tutor or mechanic's " institute, by a course of reading and practical " mathematics, which I pursued with unrelated " activity after the labours of the day were over, " and which not unfrequently encroached upon " the hours of sleep." And Manchester is full of men who, starting from an energetic resolve to be useful to society, have soon felt the necessity of cultivating those theoretic sciences, which, when taught se part of an ordinary education, before the need of them has made itself felt, often fall on languid senses. On the other hand, in our great manufactories may be found busily oc cupied men who have carried thither from ball or college the insight, and the power of combination, acquired by formal study. If, therefore, one place is more than another entitled to honour from the British Association, a Society which brings together for a common purpose the learned professors of our universities, and the workers in practical science, it is Manchester. It is not necessary to forget that there are higher objects to be lived for than the increase of put ward and material benefit , , in mbar to symper thief strongiy with Mr. Fstaitalim'a exulting com menioration of the conquests of science. What a survey is combined in his address! What ele ments are brought together there, not simply to excite our wonder but our gratitude. When we have contemplated the experimental philosopher, perfecting the methods of inquiry, as &maim sad Knuaro►r are doing in giving us a new and powerful instrument of chemical analysis, Or revealing the operation of fixed law in phenomena long observed but never understood, as General SABINE is doing for the field of magnetic observation, and as DALTON did for chemical science, we have the satisfaction of knowing that the results of their widest observations, their meet patient induction, their keenest intuition, will become, in full accordance with the economy of our applications of science, serviceable to every order of the community. Some WHlLAT irromic is always waitiii,z to apply the discoveries of every &Worm. What anxieties are daily miti gated, what vain and diatremful journeys prevented, what suspense cut short every day, by the Electric Telegraph even iu social and domestic life, and wholly apart from its commercial use ! To how many is it of much consequence to know in the morning whether the day will be fine or rainy— information which, by means of the same inven tion, we have for 'some time published morning by morning, upon data free from a tinge of specula tion. There is nothing more truly popular in its ministry than science. W e are not disposed to join in the criticisms upon this Address which have been offered in sonic quarters because of the omission of certain refiections which it is supposed should have found a place there. If it is thought necessary, we do not object to be reminded that Mr. FAIRSAIRWB Address is not a discussion of all the relations of scicnco to Ilan ; that, indeed, some of the noblest of those relations are passed ' over almost without allusion. Be it then so un derstood. But everything in its season. Let our divines raise us to the infinite, and bid us remem ber that man does not live by bread alone ; let our poets awaken noble passion, and our politicians propose to us noble ends. We will hearken, be lieve, obey. Just now, however, we have been ditiCrently occupied. We have been enjoying the rare opportunity of listening to a man who is a prince in his own art, and it is of his art that we prefer to hear him speak. ne Court.

This be raid was exactly them.. which England fell into in Idoo with respect to !rebind. The Ti H:I4 newspaper had turned round upon him and said that he had not adopted the rule that was adopted when England appealed to Ireland. The Emperor of Austria had adopted no such thing. He said, " I am here. There la nothing he. fore me. I have no constitution to consider, and will give the beat I can ;" and what did he give' Ile gave an exact counterpart of England. When be appealed to Mogan., be said he should el,et representatives to the Reichsratt. After some interruptions Mr. Roebuck said the Emperor of Austria when he gave that constitution to his whole domi nion had not • constitution before him to consider. He would not at that time of tight go into further discussion upon the matter. If time were allowed he would de fend his position, and would not be abused as if he were • man devoid of any possible feeling of honour or humanity. We were told, he said, the present was a meeting where no politic. were talked, but he had sat there and beard nothing tailed but politica from all speakers. He would not, however, presume upon the patience of the company, especially as he had spoken on the subject a great deal on a recent occasion. From that time to this he beard the breae• roar of the Tinies against him, and also the whistle of the pecoy press ; but there be was again nevertheless : and he had faith in his honest countrymen, that when they saw a man really impressed with the opinion that ho was in the right path, they would not desert him.

Yesterday Lord Palmerston attended the first meeting of the new board of Harbour Commissioners ap pointed under the act of last session, by which the manage ment of Dover Harbour undergoes considerable change. His lordship rude over from Warner Castle accompanied by lady Palmerston, the Hon. Mr. Cowper, M.P., and Mrs- Cowper, who remained at the Lord Warden Hotel, while Lord Palmerston attended at the Harbour House to preside over the meeting above referred to. The new commission consists of seven members, all of whom were present, viz., the Lord Warden, president ; Captain Noble, R.N., repre senting the Admiralty ; Mr. S. M. Latham, the Board of Trade ; Mr. Gordon Thompson, the South-Eastern Rail way Company ; Mr. 0. F. Holroyd, the Loucks, Chat hem, and Dover Railway Company ; and the Mayor of Dover (Mr. J. Birmingham) and the Deputy Mayor (Mr. J. C. Ottawa), oa behalf of the burgesses. The principal bushier transacted was the appointment of officials, as follows : Mr. James Stilwell, registrar; Mr. Richard Irons, harbour master ; Mr. Richard Atherden, deputy harbour master. Mr. Poundere (collector of customs) was reappointed as th e collector of dues ; and Mr. L. Stride as treasurer. Appli. cations were sent iu by Mr. R. Rees and Mr. Deuce for the appointment of receiver of rents, surveyor, and resident engineer, but the commissioners postponed the election, and it appeared to be the general impression that it would be desirable to divide the.. offices. At the conclusion of the meeting, the lard Warden rejoined lady Palmerston and Mr. sad Mrs. Cowper, and pro ceeded from the Lord Warden Hotel to the Admiralty pier, for the purpose of inspecting the works already executed in connexion with that undertaking, and still in progress, under Mesas. Lee and Soo. His lordship was attended by Captain Triscott, R.N., naval superinten. dent ; Mr. J. Walker, engineer ; and Mr. Deuce, resident sngiaeer, by wham the various advantages of a national character embraced in this magnificent atrwture were fully explabsed. The more local operations in the inner harbour wife afterwards inspected by his lordship, and Lord and Lady Palmerston then returned to Widmer. The usual &stet from the castle were dispensed with, at the express wish of the noble Premier, both on his lordship's arrival and departure. LOSS OP HIS awrarrs SLOOP DRIVER.

A CHORAL WEDDING IN WENTIIINNIIR ABBEY.— Yesterday morning a large proportion of the abbey congre gation remained in the choir after the ordinary morning service, it being well known that an aristocmtic wedding— that of the Right Hon. Henry Howard, Earl of Cann of Hig!icier° Castle, to the Lady Evelyn Stanhope—wee to take place, with " choral service." Weddings are very rare in the abbey, only three having been solemnised since the Reformation.

The Pesgolo contains the following despatch, dated Naples, August 28 :—" I can positively as sure you that General Cialdini is making the nometery preparations for crossing the Roman frontier and pursuing the brigands even into the courtyard* of the Quirival, where they are trained in military inameavres. The general thinks—and he makes no mystery of his opinion—that if bedew not take this step, brigandage will be always springing up anew. To make use of one of his own energetic phrase', he is by no means prepared to waste himself and his army in cutting off the heads of a hydra which, if not struck in the heart, will never die. Since his arrival in Naples, this has been his purpose, and he had arranged the matter with Baron Ricasoli, but for some reason or other he was afterwards counselled from Turin to adopt a temporising policy. Cialdini at last became im patient, and he wrote several times to Turin for authority to carry out his design. In his last letter he said. 'Either reinforcements to en able me to cross the frontier or the acceptance of my resignation.' Ido not kuow what answer he received, but I know that the reinforcement; have been sent, and that Cialdini is waking the preparations I have spoken of." On the other hand, a telegraphic despatch from Rome of the 3rd, in the Patric, says that " formal instructions have been sent to the French °Blears in command of poste on the frontier that no de tachments of Piedmontese troops must be allowed to penetrate into the Roman terri tory. If any infractions of the principle of neu trality of territory is committed, it is to be signified to the French military authorities,' who can alone decide and act in the matter." The same despatch states that the Cacique steam-frigate had arrived on the previous day at Civita Vecchia from Toulon, having on board a body of troops, consisting of 900 men, and who immediatelylanded. The Cacique had also on board different stores which had been applied for by the Intendant, being required in consequence of the prolonged stay of the corps of occupation.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOW OUR OWN coinuraronsrsr.) PARIS, TIiVEADAY EVENING. The semi-official lithographed correspondence circulates a rumour this evening that the King of Pruasia, out of his great anxiety to see Napoleon 111., has determined to shorten the interval which separates him from the desired consummation, and not only to come to France sooner than was lately stated, but to penetrate further into the country. In short, it is affirmed that, instead of meeting the Emperor at Strasburg in October, the King will conic to visit him at CompiZ•guo before the end of the present month. On the same authority it is stated that [Baron Rica:mai has very frankly told M. Benedetti that the recall of the French army from Rome 6 a nat ter of urgent necessity, and that if the evacuation were delayed beyond the end of October, he should be compelled to resign. This most regrettable resignation may be expected to take place if it be true, as reported, that the French commiasariat at Rome has just made a now contract for six months' provisions. On the other band, a remarkable article in the last number of the Opimione of Turin, an organ of the Italian government, holds out a hope that the solu tion of the Roman question, which all the world is looking for, may really be at hand. This journal says that Louis Napoleon ham lately informed the cabinet of Turin that his relations with the great powers have prevented him from acceding to the legitimate wishes of the Italians before the entire pacification of the southern provinces, but that when once order is restored iu those districts he will make a final appeal to the good sense of the power. This is a repetition in a semi-official form of the dilemma which has been for some time in circulation. The French government says to Italy, "Show me your strength and capacity by pacifying Naples, and I will give you up Rome ;" whereas, Italy replies, " Withdraw your troops which protect the brigand treasury in Rome, and Naples will pacify itself." Hard as the conditions are of Napo leon 111., Cialdini's great success may possibly answer to them. The Anti de la Religion publishes, with much ado, a protest purporting to emanate from the " Nea politan aristocracy" against the unity of Italy. Among the siguaturesl observe that of a great rene gade, Prince Cito Della Rocca, who was formerly a bosom friend of Mszzini, and, at one time, I believe, acted as his secretary. The Presse remarks that this document is signed by women and children, and that among the "protesters" are "many who preceded Francis H. in his flight, but none who defended him." This jour nal further observes that the l3ourbonista who live in Paris upoe the rents of their Neapoli tan estates presume greatly upon the well-known magnanimity of the Italian government, for neither the Emperor of Austria nor the Duke of Modena ever hesitated to sequestrate the property of emigrants. Some of the papers in their " latest news" attri bute the authorship of the pamphlet to a M. de Is Varenne. I believe this to be • false scent. According to information which I think correct, the writer is M. Marliani, a well-known Italian, and a friend of Count Pepoli, whose relations with the Emperor are notorious. This revelation is to me pregnant evidence that the Emperor personally knew of the pamphlet before it was published, and is in fact a party to the publication. The evening papers are instructed to contra dict a statement of the Independence Beige that the return of Queen Christina to Spain is an indica tion of an approximation between the courts of Spain and France, on the ground that " the rela tions between the two countries has never ceased to be excellent." It is also thought necessary to say that Marshal Magnan is not going to Italy with a " mission." The Bourse continues to be very buoyant. The Route to-day attained 69fr. 35c., and, although there was a reaction, the closing quotations, 69fr. 20c. and 691 r. 25c., show a rise of 15c. nod sc. on yesterday. litobilter rose 2fr. 50c. The Northern Railway rose 7fr. 50c., and the other lines lf r. 25c. to 2fr. 50c. In the Galigiwni of yesterday there is a paragraph quoted from a London daily paper, stating that the Bank of France now pays its notes in gold. Having reason to doubt the accuracy of this state ment, I went to the batik this afternoon for the express purpose of trying the question. Before I had time to draw a note from my pocket, a con siderate porter iu a cocked hat volunteered to tell me that there was " no gold," and I was distinctly refused the small sum of five Napoleons in that currency which I asked for. This is experimental evidence coming down to 3 o'clock in the afternoon of this sth day of September. SPAIN. The persecution of the Liberal press continues. On the 30th instant the responsible editor of La Vented was condemned to seventeen months' impri sonment fora seditious libel ; the Contemporauee was tried for an article on colonial affairs, but acquit ted ; and the itegenerueion and the Croaks de Anoes Meade* were seized. More insurgents of Loja had been condemned to different periods of haul labour by the military tribunal iu that town, making the total number to whom that species of punishment has been applied 2118 ; in addition se veral persons have been sentenced to death. Some of the journals affirm that the Moorish prince, Muley-el-Abbss, is about to visit Madrid uu a mission from his brother, the Emperor. The har vest in the province of Madrid is stated to be gene rally abundant. Another disturbance 'ham just occurrel. at Heidelberg, in which our countrymen were engaged. Ac cording to one story some English tourists being present at a meeting of members of the National Verein, one of their number, excited by the speeches and the beer com bined, thought proper to exhibit his loyalty by giving the health of tho Queen. The proposal was, however, treated with contemptuous silence by the Vereins men, and the sitting continued quietly until midnight, when the Englishmen were set upon, and had to beat a retreat after • desperate fight. The other account is that our country pen misbehaved themselves throughait the entire evening by insulting gestures and remarks ; that when the national • was sung they interrupted it with groans and hisses, and that thi. led to their forcible expulsion The follow. lug evening the Englishmen mustered in greater numbers, and proceeded in • body to the tavern where the sittings were held, but the inmates having adopted the prudential course of anticipating their arrival by shutting the doors, lbw were baulked in their object of renewing the quarrel, ad bad to retire. The next day the tourists quitted the town. A letter from Rome, dated Saturday, says :—" His Holism continues to give public proofs of his restored health by frequently attending church ceremonies in the morning, and driving out in the oountry in the afternoon. He will soon perform a longer excursion than usual, in order to ful• fil his promise to Monsignors Hohenlohe of a visit at Tivoli, where that prelate occupies the Villa d'Eate, by special per mimion of the Duke of Modena, to whom that once mag nificent property now belongs. Monsignore Hohenlohe has been lately spending a good deal of money in restoring the dilapidated splendours of the villa, not, of course. on its claque (yob, scale of grandeur, but with a sufficient amuuut of deonation and furniture to allow of his offer ing a hospitable reception to the Supreme Pontiff and his , court suite."

THE EXPORT DUTY ON RAGS. REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE This morning the report of the select committee appointed to inquire into the above duty, and the evidence heard by them, wen, issued in a parliamentary blue book. The committee refer to the evidence of several paper makers, to show that the portion of their trade which is engaged in the manufacture of white paper for printing is in a state of unprecedented depression —mainly due to the competition with foreign paper—the cheapness of the latter being due to the prohibitions on the export of rags from the countries exporting the paper. The committee think there are serious obstacles to obtaining supplies of rags from more distant sources where these export duties do not exist ; and the inquiries for a new fibre have mot as yet with little success. The disadvantage as to the cost of his material under which the British paper maker labours when brought into competition with has continental rivals, appears, in the opinion of the committee, to be permanent, so long as there are restrictions upon the trade in hie raw materials, and a free exportation of his material to America ; and the most disastrous consequences must ensue to the British paper manufacturer unless some step* are speedily taken to place him on terms of fair competition with those of the Continent. Even before our reduction of the import duty upon foreign paper, foreign paper makers were able to compete in the English market with our own manufacturers, while the effect' ofi the reduction of the duty was, of course, a very large influx of foreign paper. The committee further report " that at the present time the British paper mauufacturer is paying a price for raga and other paper•making materials ;minuend by means of foreign export duties, while he is called upon at the same time to compete with paper manufactured in countries that prohibit or tax the export of rags. That during the last session of parliament, when it wu proposed to assimilate the customs and excise duties upon paper, it was announced to the house by her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affair*, that the Emperor of the French was willing to remove the prohibition noon the export of French rags, but instead of a removal of the prohibition there has been substituted for it a duty of 4f. 17s. 2d. per ton, which is stated to be equivalent to a bounty of about 7t. per ton on French paper exported to this country. That the removal of the excise duty on paper will not plea the English manu facturer in a position of equality with his continental rivals, so long as the export duties on rags remain in force abroad. The committee, therefore, recommend that the British government should continue strenuous exertions to effect the removal of all restrictions abroad upon the export of all paper making materials."
