Mr. Cobden this day addressed a crowded meeting in the Mayor's parlour of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, specially convened for the purpose of considering the pre sent state of international and maritime law in reference to the existing distress in the manufacturing districts. Mr. COBDEN, on coming forward, was loudly cheered. He spoke as follows :—We meet here, when great calamities threaten this particular district, arising out of the operation of the American commercial blockade, and to discuss the remedy against such ills as we are now suffering from to discuss the questions of maritime law and belligerent rights. It is, indeed, deplorable that we are not roused to the great ROIAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION (Incorporated by Royal Charter). PATRONESS—Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen.

It would be well if it were otherwise; but it is useless to quarrel with the constitution of men.

The American Government gave in their adhesion to that declaration which affirmed the rights of neutrals, and said that they had been the first to proclaim those rights ; they also stated that they preferred to carry the declaration which exempted private property from capture by privateers at sea a little further, and to declare that private property should be exempted from capture at sea either by privateers or by armed Government ships. Whether that proposal respecting privateers had been made to America or not, after the other changes had been made affirming the rights and privileges of neutrals, it would have been much to the interest of England to have followed it out to the extent proposed by the American Government, Europe, after the Congress, of Paris, affirmed the rights and privileges of neutrals ; and Englishmen, of all people in the world, had an interest in proposing that they should ex• tend that exemption so as to secure private property in ships from capture by any armed ships. It has been said that the American Government were not sincere in the proposal which they made—that it was only a counter proposition made for the purpose of evading the consideration of the questions submitted to them, and that they only accepted the two proposals in question in order to escape the accept. ante of the whole. It is probably not generally known that the very proposals which the American Government made within the last five years were made by that Government in their first treaty with this country after the declaration of independence 80 years ago. They had their origin with that great man Dr. Franklin, who carried into his diplo macy as well as into his philosophy a genial spirit of philan thropy. The question of exempting private property has been dealt with in two addresses issu'lg from the Chem) , " ' - ' ,- Inmeree of Liverpool; and re , ' e a?' THE DREAM OF JOY. SONG. M us i c by w.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution, excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible. This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by he medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made. success in every case is as certain as that water quenches thirst. have therefore in dealing with this question to consider w I venture to say is a very much greater evil, that of a c mercial blockade. I say it is a much greater evil, for reason. The question of capturing private property at is one that affects the belligerents; it affects the party ..134 chooses to go to war, and it only affects necessarily the n chants and shipowners of that country. But the quef of a commercial blockade is a very different and a Larger question. It affects neutrals ; and not only d, Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in .rtructioq_s for use, at lls., or four quantities in one for 338., and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed, on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Prout and ( 0., Patent Medicine Warehouse, 229, Strand London.

The Institu tion has also expended £64,300 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-can 'ages, and Boat-houses. tion. The American Government, again, were the firs perceive, after they had proposed to Europe to exempt vate property from capture at sea, that that question volved the question of commercial blockade. It is no m The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorousefforts now being made by this Institution to save the lives of Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions he Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man agement, tor the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

It is only upon the one condition, that there should be an effective blockade main tained as between belligerents, that Europe recognises the blockade at all. No doubt then, if the proposal which the American Government made in 1859, had been accepted and cordially received by England, it would have been at once welcomed and accepted by the rest of Europe. And that shows the extraordinary and sudden mutations to which the human family are exposed ; for there is no doubt that the American Government would have been obliged to have carried on this war with the Southern States without imposing a blockade upon commercial ports, had their own propositions been accepted; or if they had lone so in viola . ion of their treaty engagements with Europe, it would have involved them in hostilities with all the rest of the world—a state of things upon which no rational Government would have ever dreamt of entering. (Hear, hear.) I mention this not to draw any inference calculated to cast blame upon any one for the past, but I wish to draw a very serious and solemn inference from it in regard to the future. We are suffering from the operation of this commercial blockade in a way which might be im possible for human ingenuity to match by any other c,alamity which you can conceive in the course of nature or in the revolution, of man to have befallen this land. I cannot conceive anything that could have inflicted on Lancashire a calamity so unmanageable, so utterly beyond any power of remedy. or any possibility of guarding against, as that which has happened with respect to this commercial block • ade. You have been trading 50 or 60 years with a region of the earth which has during that time, almost every year, been increasing its products of raw fibre for your use. You have been increasing in your investment of capita', you have been training skilled workmen, you have been prepar ing for the continued m anufacture and manipulation of that material ; have been placing your dependence upon it for 50 or 60 years, and then, as if a portcullis had been let down at the entrance of a castle, this stream of 50 or 60 years' continual increase is shut off, and you are deprived of those means for the employment and subsistence of the people. Nothing else could have produced this extraordinary and calamitous state of things, which nobody ever looked for or seem to have expecte d. There have bee n at various times apprehensions expressed with reference t o th e danger of tak ing the whole of our co tton supply fro m one particular coun try. We have specula ted, also, u p o n the probability of a negro insurrection, which might destroy th a t soc i a l sys t em on which, we have sometimes regretted, this vast industry is based, but if you reflect for a moment upon these two A lie L r a D d l y aj a es t ty , e th it e h , Q p u e e r en W.

The slaves might have been emancipated as others have been. Our ancestors were all serfs at one time, but generally speaking, as in the West Indian islands, if no foreign element is let in among them, the transition from slavery and serfdom to a state of freedom is carried out with comparatively little concession or violence, and it is not likely that from that event any sudden privation of the raw materials of industry would have arisen. But now, with 4,000,000 bales of cotton, which will, I hear from the highest authority, exist in the Southern States at Christmas, hanging over our heads, and with the uncer tainty which exists as to the duration of the war, and con sidering that there is no remedial measure apparently which . _ _ can be applied, people naturally feel great disinclination to invest their capital, when it is likely to Le affected by slid ._ den disturbing causes such as the possible release of this vast amount of cotton in America. Turning to the other view, you might have had sterility in this land. We have had the potato blight, the vine disease, the mulberry disease—we have had visitations of Providence in the form of epidemics —a sort of vegetable cholera, as you may call them; and it is possible that you might have tend to diminish the supply of cotton from America. But this is a cause which you cannot deal with; it is unman ageable, and it is so grave and so alarming—it presents itself to those who reflect and who look forward to six months, if this civil war should go on—it presents itself in such an odious aspect, that it is apt to beget violent thoughts in our minds, which may tempt us to make an attempt at some violent remedy. Now, with reference to that, we should bear in mind the fact that I have mentioned. This system of warfare which now affects us so severely . is one that we have maintained and are the chief means of main- taming, in opposition, I believe, to the opinion of the whole mercantile and indeed the whole civilised world. I told - You 111 - th;r7. -1 .5 - •=s learnTi the ' tof the war between Austria and France, the American Govern= ment, through the hand of Mr. Cass, the then Foreign Minister, sent a circular despatch to all the representatives of that Government in Europe in reference to the subject of maritime law. An attempt was made in the House of Com mons to induce the Government to produce that despatch and lay it upon the table, but the Government refused to do so. Well, gentlemen, I hold in my hands a copy of that de- spatch, which has been since produced by the American Government, and which any one may purchase at the cost of a few cents, and it enters at length into the whole question of maritime law generally. I will not trouble you by read ing much of it; but I will just quote a few general observa tions relating to the subject of blockades. Mr. Cass says : ‘ 4 The blockade of an enemy's coast in order to prevent all intercourse with neutrals, even for the most peaceful pur poses, is a claim which gains no additional strength by an investigation into the foundation upon which it rests, and the evils which have accompanied its exercise call for an efficient remedy. The investment of a place by sea and land with a view to its reduction, preventing it from re- ceiving supplies of men and material necessary for its de fence is a legitimate mode of prosecuting hostilities which cannot be objected to so long as war is recognised as an arbiter of national disputes. But the blockade of a coast, or of commercial positions along it, without any regard to ulterior military operations, and with the real design of carrying on war against trade, and from its nature against the trade of peaceable and friendly Powers, instead of a war against armed men, is a proceeding which it is difficult to reconcile with reason, or the opinions of modern times. To watxh every creek and river and harbour upon an ocean ntier, in order to seize and confiscate every vessel, with cargo, attempting to enter or go out, without any direct et upon the true objects of war, is a mode of conducting tilities which would find few advocates, if now first pre ted for consideration." After stating at considerable -th the reasons which induced the American Govern tto make the propositions they had done, Ihe blamed 1 Russell for not producing the despatches in the house, ng assured that had he done so and had England agreed ose proposals all the other European nations would s followed, and the consequences would have been that Northern States of America would have been unable to availed themselves of the present state of international to blockade the Southern ports, the importation of cot would have been uninterrupted, and the distress in Lan ire averted. The hon gentleman then continued • )uld be bad enough to blockade your cotton and prevent spindles from working; but there is another article more important than cotton. We get food from Arne • ; and in the last session of Parliament an hon. member is himself an extensive miller and corn dealer, moved ), return of the quantity of grain fit for human food and .our which was imported into this country from America n the Ist Sept. last year to the Ist June in this year. He 1 he did this for his own satisfaction, because he wished iee what would have been the effect upon the supply of d to this country if the talk of war in the Trent affair I been carried out ; and hie estimate was, that the food ?orted from America, from September last year to Jade year, was-equal to the food of between 3,000,000 and 00,000 of people for the whole year. And he remarked to —and I quote his own words—that if that food had not a brought from America all the money in Lombard set could not have purchased it, because elsewhere it not exist at all. Now, I would ask whether anybody ald seriously contemplate, in the case of a war with aerica, enforcing a blockade in order to keep out these nmodities P Nobody would dream of such a thing for a iment. (Cheers.) Yet we are maintaining a system that nds over to other Powers, whenever they choose to go to ,r, the power of starving our people and of depriving them the raw materials of our manufactures, merely because r antiquated statesmen, who live and dream in a period 0 years ago, do not understand the spirit of the age in rich we live. (Cheers.) On this subject I will just read extract from a pamphlet. I have in my hand two pam dets, and they are both attributed, I believe truly, to two nctionaries employed in the Board of Trade. They both ..re the largest and most liberal and common-sense views of this question; and it is, in fact, another instance added to the case I have mentioned, showing that there has always been something in the atmosphere of the Depart ment of the Board of Trade which has produced the most enlightened and most advanced views of commercial policy. I will read a short quotation showing what they think of the old authorities on this international law, which Lord Russell has been quoting in his despatches to Ame rica within the last eighteen months. This is what these enlightened gentlemen say on the subject of interna tional law, and the attempt to:perpetuate the maxims and laws laid down in comparatively barbarous ages : " The days of Vattel, Grotius, Puffendorf, and Bynkers hoek are not our days ; their doctrines, however applicable to those times, are unfit tor these ; they may have been suited for an era of war, they are unsuited to an epoch of peace. They advanced doctrines which in their day it was perhaps possible to maintain in some degree, but the conditions on which their views were framed are changed, and it would new be as easy to revive the dead creed of Protection as to rule the relations between neutrals and belligerents by the antiquated laws of Oleron, the Costumbres Maritimas of Barcelona, or the once-famed Consolato del Mare. It would be as easy to revert in medicine to the doctrines of Galen, and to accept the crude dogmas of Theophilus as the base of modern arts, as to define and govern our international rela tions by authorities whose dicta have ceased to be in har mony with the feelings of the present time. And yet, gen tlemen, it is under these dogmas that you will continue to be governed unless you bring some of your practical sense to bear on the antiquated propositions of those who are at the head of affairs. It was so before. We had to fight the battle with our own governing classes, and you will have to fight the battle with your governing class, your object being to have such a reform in maritime law as will place it in harmony with the spirit of the age in which we live. Still, it will be said that if you injure yourselves by a com mercial blockade you will injure your enemy a great deal more. I want to know what will equal the injury we do to ourselves by a commercial blockade. What injury that we can do to any other nation in the world will equal the evil occasioned by the distress in Lancashire if the present state of things continued for another six months ? (Hear, hear.) Recollect if you blockade the commercial ports of a foreign Power like America or Russia, the effect is that you prevent them from receiving comparative luxuries into their ports, such as manufactured goods or colonial pro duce. People can live tolerably well, as they have done, without these things; but if you inflict a commercial block ade which stops the exports as well as the imports of those countries, while you deprive them of comparative luxuries, you deprive yourselves of the raw material by which your people live, and the very food which is necessary to their subsistence. (Cheers.) I h ave th oug ht much upon th is matter, and I can conceive no case in which you, carrying on war with a foreign Power, could inflict the same amount of injury on them that you would inflict on yourselvesAn an inefficient system of blockade. (near,the the blockade be not effective, the whole thing it, hoar.)dis to he ground, and is a mere mischievous delusioond then I say however, effective according to your theooruy,toi g ht be at war that upon no great country with which you upon your.. could you inflict such mischief as you be depriving selves, because at that very ti me you would wh i c h would enable them of the energy and of those means for the purpose of them to bear the contributions levied you would starve them carrying on the war. The very si tr al °condition would be the and degrade them in theirdphrYequire physical strength to time that the army would their country. Is that the way enable the men to fi ght contrary, I say that a time of war is to proceed ? co°thers, you ought to have the freest the time when, nofta-lfel you with food. It is above all things access to the portsupoplayforeign country, especially to those countries vibi + eh 0 5 of war, more even than in time of pe ace, necessary in trine that you should have access to the materials of our strength ee---e-c_ A PRICE...—. —..4d. STAMPED ....sd. and wealth without hindrance, if by any means you can ac complish that end. (Hear, hear.) I can understand a great manufacturing country like this maintaining a large fleet forthe purpose of keeping our doors open for the supply of materials but but by what ingenuity, and what perversity of reasoning, any statesman can be brought to say that it can over be the interest of a cou ntr y to employ a fleet to prevent food and raw material fro m bein g brought into the country I cannot imagine. (Hear.) It is unnecessary for me to say more upon this question. But there is another point which I do not remember to have seen under discussion but which I think it of great importance that we should estab lish, and that is, the principle that, in the maritime inter course of nations, they should not use the prohibition of exports as a belligerent act. (Hear, hear.) When I was engaged in arranging the treaty of commerce with France we put in a clause which in effect interdicted the right of prohibiting the exportation of coal. That was very much complained of at the time. But according to my idea if our diplomacy is to be carried out in the common-sense interest of vast , community, we should seek by overy means in our power, in case of war, to prevent belligerent Powers from stopping the exportation of articles necessary for the food or the employment of mankind by the general spread of free trade principles—and free trade principles mean nothing . _ _ but a division of labour carried out over the whole world. (Cheers.) If we had a general extension of free trade prin.: ciples throughout the whole world, every part of it would become more and more dependent. on other parts for the supply of its materials and the supply of its food. Instead of as formerly •one country sending its wool to another, or one nation sending its materials to another, we should have the whole continent engaged in raising raw materials for the supply of the wants of industrial communities. Moreover, it is to our interest that we should, as far as pos.: sible, prevent the possibility of any sudden interruption of such a state of affairs. And, therefore, what I would sug-: gest as a most desirable thing to be done in all cases by our Government, as a rule and guiding principle of their policy, is to seek to make treaties based more upon strictly inter rintonat .r.....,, f f-sm.fits. which should be made a bond on the Parties respectively, not as a beiugt....e ~e t to•prohibit the exportation of anything, unless it be munitions of war; and when I speak of munitions of war, I do not mean that Government should interfere to prevent a manufacturer from sending out any article that he makes. The Govern ment has nothing to do with commercial matters. They ought not to take the responsibility of any surveillance over the operations of commerce at large. I think the Govern ment should not allow a belligerent Power to come and fit out ships, and arm them, and go out from our ports ; but in all legitimate commerce there should be as much as possible freedom preserved in time of war. (Cheers.) In reply to what I am now arguing, it may be said, " But you will not get people to observe this international law, even if they entered into the engagement." That remark was made in the House of Commons by a member who ought not to have uttered such a prediction. Why, international laws are only entered into that they may be observed. But what I am advocating is, that international laws will be ob served, inasmuch as they are not contemplated to be based on a treaty between two Powers only ; but with respect to the case of exempting private property from capture at sea that they should be fundamental laws of nations which are to have the assent of the great majority of all the maritime Powers. Let us suppose, then, that two countries are at . _ war, and that one has entered into an engagement that it will not stop the importation of corn, but they fancy—the temptation is so great—that they can starve their opponent if they stop the export of corn in spite of the treaty. They would then bring down upon themselves instantly the ani mosity, and indeed the hostility, of all the other Powers who have been parties to the system ; and the nation which became apart) , to a general system of international law would become an ouilaw in the eyes of all the other nations if it broke that law. (Hear.) What I wish to lay great stress upon, as a thing to be borne in mind, is the quest ion of commercial blockades and the stoppage of exports in the time of war. Ido not rely on any individual nation, or upon its honour, to keep that law in relation to others ; but it is to their own interest to preserve it, because if they are at war, and if they violate the law, it will not be against the particular nation with which they were at war that they will violate it, but against the whole world, and that will give the only guarantee that you can have, whether from a nation or an individual, that they will observe their engagements. I am not going to attempt to cover the whole:ground to which this question would lead me—namely, the question of the re form of our international law in such a manner as to bring it into harmony with the present condition of things ; but this I will say—as the guiding rule of our policy we adopt free trade, which is the maxim of our policy in peace ; then make trade as free as you can possibly do in time of war. (Cheers.) Let this be your maxim, and whenever you find any restriction in the way of legitimate commerce, whether in war or whether in peace, be assured that the re moval of that restriction will do you more good in England than it will do in any other country in the world, for this simple reason, that you have nearly twice the commerce of any other country in the world. (Cheers.) Theratore, let this maxim be the rule of your policy, and let the manu facturing districts—as they are a power in the nation—make their voice heard, in order that the enlightened principles which are now finally triumphant in times of peace shall also be applied, as far as they possibly can be, in time of war. (Cheers.) I have said that after all this is a practical question, and I do not see how the agitation of it can be of any service at this moment iu securing a supply of cotton from America, and thus getting rid of the most unfortunate state of things which now exists. But this Ido say—l can imagine that if there were at the head of the Federal Go vernment at Washington men of the grasp of mind and of the philanthropy of Thomas Jefferson, of Adams, or of Washington, those men would seek at the present moment to gain for their country the great honour and glory as well as the lasting fame of inaugurating their own principle— because it is their own principle—of exemption from block ade of all peaceful ports of continental coasts. I can imagine that it would be a great humour to such men, and would place in a great moral elevation the nation which under the circumstances in which they are now placed—seeing the immense and unmerited evils that are inflicted, not only on capitalists but on labourers, not merely on England, but throughout the civilised world—seeing also their national safety in the course to be pursued—would desire, if it were practicable, to pnt an end to this state of things in the in terests of humanity and of the whole universe. (Cheers.) In making this suggestive, though hypothetical remark, I do not wish for a moment to imply blame or utter those words reproachfully; but I say that the only way in which Europe can approach the question with the United States, is on the ground that they have laid down, namely, the ground of principle ; not to seek for their own selfish ends now to obtain cotton because we want it, and at the same time retain in our hands the fancied advantage—for it it is a fancied advantage—of having the power of blockade at another time. In that case, I should say in all proba bility Europe would experience, at the hands of the Ameri can Government, a disposition to endeavour to remove this 1 great evil, Europe engaging for the future to apply to Ame rica the principle of exempting from blockade commercial ports, and confining it merely to arsenals and fortified ply . I think I know something of the disposition of foreign G ° ; vernments in both hemispheres, and I tell you ag ain ~t ' a England has been the great °hatable to such a beneficial change of policy a s that which I have indicated.

On Tuesday evening last, a " scene" took place at the Baptist Chapel, Little London, which has created no slight sensation in this locality. It ap pears that the congregation attending that place of worship have for some time been divided in opinion respecting the choice of the minister, one party be ing desirous to retain the services of their present pastor, and the other being equally anxious that another should take his place. After considerable agitation on both sides, the matter reached a crisis some few weeks ago, when the latter party gave the present minister formal notice to leave, and en gaged a successor. This notice expired last Sun day, when two announcements were made by the contending parties, one stating that their minister's services would be dispensed with after that even ing, and the other affirming that such was not the case, but that the reverend gentleman would continue his services as usual. As neither party seemed disposed to yield, but both equally determined to carry their point, it was naturally anticipated that the next preaching night (Tues day last) would witness an exciting scene 7 tr ,, d, so it proved. At an early hour on Tuesday morning the party in favour of the present minister took possession of the chapel, which possession they have firmly maintained throughout. As the hour for service drew nigh large crowds thronged the chapel, and it was found that the old minister had taken his place in the pulpit some hours previously, being guarded by a body of police. Nothing daunted, the opposition party, with their new minister, entered the vestry, and, inviting the congregation to join them , com menced to hold service there, simultaneously with t he one bein g held in the chapel, Both places were crowded, and multitudes surrounded the chapel out side. After service the party in power main tained possession of the chapel, several of them remaining all night to prevent any violent attempt on the part of their opponents to force an entrance. morning —.but Two such efforts were actually made—one about midnight, an d another at 4 o ' c l oc k on Wednesday ornin ea g daelrs proceedings in these attempts. g—but without success.

IN._ ti The iollowing items of intelligence will be most acceptable to all who are interested in African ex ploration : "News travels very slowly from the Juke regions of Negroland. The latest communication received from the East African expedition up to ta l Ae sth of September, 1861, was a note from Captain Speke, dated the 13th of December, 1860, addressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Rigby, her Majesty's consul at Zanibar. It was written from the western borders of the Unyamoesi country, where the expedition was awaiting the arrival of a fresh supply of car riers, to repiKce those who had deserted in conse quence of a famine which prevailed over a largo tract of Eastern Africa, extending 400 miles iniard from the coast. Subsequent letters received vza Z.inibar supply us w i t h i t iformation of Speke'B movements up to Sept. 30, 1861 d t which date he was at Bagweh, a place , situated in lai;.. 3ueg. 28min. S., between the Ten ganika and Vi e fo,ria lakes... " Thus far the progress of the expedition had been impeded by a variety of causes. In addition to the want of porters, which were only procurable from the coast, the prevailing famine had embit tered the intestine strife among the natives, and heavy rains on the highland of Unyamoesi had ren dered travelling in that district impracticable. "On January 24 , 1861, Speke was at Kazeh, from which place he hoped to be able to move in a few days in a northerly direction. His primary object is to reach the Victoria Nyanza, in order to ascertain whether or not that lake has any connec tion with the Nile, and, if so, he purposes following down any affluents as far as Egypt. Should unfor seen obstacles make this attempt impracticable Speke will endeavour to reach the eastern coast by some route to the north of the Nyanza. " All the information hitherto collected by the expedition tends to confirm the explorers in the idea that the passage to Egypt will be the most feasible and economical route, as it will undoubtedly be the most interesting in a geographical point of view, and also the most advantageous towards the future opening of this hitherto unknown region. Every effort, therefore, will be made to reach the navi gable Nile, and our enterprising countrymen will only abandon that route if they find, on arriving at Uganda, that Mr. Patherick or any other traveller has succeeded in reaching that point from the north ward before them. " Speke and his companion, Captain Grant, were most hospitably received at Kazeh by Sheik Moosa N'zari, a native of Surat, who behaved so well to the former expedition under Barton. Speke writes in unbounded praise of the generous conduct of this man, who has, moreover, volunteered his services to accompany the explorers as far as Uganda." 4 /'_ . ~,-, ' NI,T',.VSPAI BAILWAT INTELLIGENCE.
