The Reform Bill is making rapid progress, and the Government part is now completed, so far as the consideration of the Committee is concerned. With the exception of the schedules to-day, the . new clauses proposed by private members will be taken. All the clauses proposed by the Govern ment were agreed to. The first clause provided for the increase of polling places, and this occupied some time in its discussion. -Mr. FAwcF. - rr pro posed an amendment, to the effect that some of the expenses of elections, such as hustings, polling booths, &c., should be defrayed by putting them on the county or borough rates ; and Mr. LABOUCIIERE made a suggestion in connection with this subject, that each candidate at county elections shall deposit one hundred pounds with the returning officer, so as to cover expeno, and borough candid a t es fifty pounds. This was fortunately rejected by a large majority—one hundred and aix—for it would never have answered, and would haveintroduced a danger ous element into our electioneering system. We are surprised that Mr. GLADSTONE should have sup ported it, but the right lion. gentleman has taken up some strange theories this session, the pursuit of which generally finds him in the ranks of the ' minority. He very kindly told Mr. DISRAELI the other night that the Bill was not his, but that of the House of Commons. Whoever it may belong to, one thing is certain, that it does not belong to the leader of the Opposition, for he has been directly against most of its leading propositions, and advo cated the adoption of most of the discarded amend ments and defeated clauses. While no possible ad vantage could have accrued from the carrying out of Mr. FAWCETT'S proposal, while it would have been injurious in many ways, and, in point of fact, would have paved the way for the payment of mem bers, which of all changes is the one most to be de precate., for we have sufficient proof of its mischief across the Atlantic. Mr. MILL used the most extraordinary argu ments in support of this amendment, declaring that the committee should remember that the expenses incurred at elections were part of the expenses for governing the country, and hence it was as incon sistent to make candidates bear them all, as if it was required that judges should have taxes imposed upon them for administering justice. The hon. mem ber's general views on public questions were that much learning may be as dangerous a thing as a little philosophy may sound very well, but it works very badly if carried too far. Mr. MILL says that " if members were not to be paid for undertaking the business of legislation they certainly ought not :to be made to pay for leave to govern the country." But this would not do, and the worst of it would be that it would be impossible to draw back after haviaig sanctioned the adoption of the principle. Mr. LAING'S speech on the sub ject was very much to the purpose, and he showed the fallacies of the arguments in favour of the scheme of the honourable member for Brighton in a very forcible manner. He denied that the House of Commons was so full of rich men, and declared that, on the contrary, " it contained in it many gentlemen who have honourably made their way in the world, and could it be fairly represented to be thronged with men who had no title whatever to sit there except their money-bags, and no desire except to attain a social standing." We entirely agree with the hon. mem ber for Wick, that the House of Commons, as at present constituted, contrasts very favourably with the assemblies of other countries, where the members are paid for their services. Mr. DISRAELI concluded the rather wearisome debate on the matter in a few exceptional sentences. He said that if the principle on which this amend ment rested was a sound one, it should go much further. Who can decide, for instance, as to what are or are not legitimate expenses, and so on in:the arrangements of elections? The ratepayers, added the right hon. gentleman, would soon object to this charge made upon them, and say that a national duty should be a national charge, and " make a claim that could not long be resisted upon the Consolidated Fund." On the whole, we consider that the committee have acted wisely and well in rejecting this amendment, by a majority sufficiently large to prove unmistake ably the sense of the house on the subject. Four new clauses were subsequently proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and agreed to by the committee, relating to the hire of rooms for polling places, the disfranchisement of persons in receipt of parochial relief, and the amendment of the oath to be taken by the poll clerk. To this Mr. GURNEY proposed to add an amendment that the oath should be converted into a declaration, but this was de feated, and it is well that it was, because it is always undesirable to remove such restrictions. The pro gress made by the committee during the last few days encourages one to hope that in a short time they will come to the end of their laborious under taking, and the bill be sent up to the House of Lords, a consummation which is very desirable, considering the period of the session. No more fitting speaker could have been chosen to deliver the memorial address on the unveiling of the Salford statue of Mr. COBDEN than Mr. CHAS. VILLIERS. Mr. BRIGHT, indeed, might have been selected as a more eloquent speaker, and as the con stant associate of Mr. COBDEN in his political life, but to Mr. VILLIERS belongs the distinction of having been one of the earliest and most assiduous combatants.in the field where Mr. COBDEN gained his brightest laurels. Thirty years ago Mr. VIL LIERS told his hearers at Salford he had visited Lancashire for the express purpose of making Mr. COBDEN'S acquaintance, having been prompted to do so by reading some of his early works at that time. Mr. VILLIERS was himself in Parliament, and was already pledged to use every effort to secure the repeal of the Corn Laws. He had begun the struggle,which he carried on with so much persever ance and rcsclution, in spite of contempt of ridicule and of strenuous opposition. It may easily be imagined with what satisfaction Mr. VILLIERS found so able an auxiliary as Mr. COBDEN, prepared to come forward with even greater boldness and determination. The impression left by their early interview.; had never, said Mr. VILLIERS, been effaced from his mind, for Mr. COBDEN'S mind was already completely made up on the important ques tion of the Corn Laws. "He saw and asserted with boldness and confidence that those laws not only marred the material prosperity of the country, but also that they precluded everything like moral and social improvement among the people. From that time he determined to devote all his energy and powers to procure the repeal of those laws." At first, said Mr. VILLIERS, Mr. COBDEN found it difficult to believe that the Reformed Parliament, as it was then called, woulcrnot take action in the matter. Mr. VILLIERS, a member of the House of Commons, knew better, and Mr. COBDEN himself changed his mind after listening to a debate on the Corn Laws. " COBDEN left the House suddenly that night, re turned to Lancashire, and determined that he would never cease to work or act until the public should be duly apprised of the character of those laws and the difficulty of repealing them." We all know how faithfully he kept that resolution, and with what undaunted energy he threw himself into the work which he lived to see crowned with such abundant success. His objects, however, were always sought and attained by moral means, and Mr. VILLIERS declared that he did not think during the whole seven years' war there had been a single act of vio lence or illegality perpetrated by the League. Mr. COBDEN, added his memorialist, never took to him self the whole credit of its ultimate triumph, and was always eager to court the assistance of men of talent and education. Mr. VILLIERS was with him in Manchester when Mr. BRIGHT made his first speech, and he remembered Mr. COBDEN'S predictions of his future eminence as a speaker, and also his satisfac tion in finding so valuable a colleague. Mr. VILLIERS, however, does not rank Mr. COB DEN'S services in the cause of Free Trade as the greatest of his claims on public gratitude. He believes that when posterity comes to judge him it will attach most value to his labours in the cause of peace. His writings and his exertions on this subject did, no doubt, good service, although he carried his theories to a somewhat Utopian ex treme. He endeavoured to convince the public not only of the evils of war, but of the great advan t tag% to be derived by a cordial underataudinr , be - THE SUN, LO.NDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1867. The Emperor, having passed successively in front of all the lines, took his station opposite the Pavilion de l'Horloge and distributed the rewards to many of the soldiers. The defile was executed with remark able precision and effect, in the midst of continual cries of " Long live the Emperor," " Long live the Empress," and " Long live the Imperial Prince." Prince Napoleon yesterday assumed the Presi dency of the International Monetary Commission. In opening the proceedings, his Imperial Highness remarked upon the importance of the object in view, and insisted upon the necessity of coin ing to some practical result without any delay. Ho hoped the subject wonl I be discussed in a spirit of conciliation, and that mutual sacrifices of opinion would be made, if necessary. The meet ing expressed cordial approval of these sentiments. Upon the proposal of Count d'Avila, the repre sentative of Portugal, two resolutions were unani mously agreed to—one expressive of grateful thanks to the Emperor for appointing Prince Na poleon as President ; and the other expressing the thanks of the Commission to M. Parieu for his conduct while presiding as Chairman previous to the appointment of Prince Napoleon. Count Bismarck, who has leave of absence for a long period, has retired to his chateau in Pome rania, and will not resume his functions till the month of August, when the Federal Council will assemble. In his absence, M. de Thile, Under- Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will perform the duties of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Accounts from Florence state that a body of foolish young men, armed, to the number of 200, a few days ago attempted an invasion of the Pon tifical territory near Terni. They were arrested by the Italian posts of observation, after having passed the frontier. About 60 were captured and sent to prison. The rest of the troop succeeded in escap ing. No importance is attached to this insensate attempt at mischief, which is disavowed equally by the revolutionary party and the agents of the Roman Democratic Committee. This manifesta tion is an isolated act, having no connection with political feeling in Italy. Garibaldi has nothing to do with it. On Tuesday evening there was a grand banquet at the International Club at the Exhibition to the founders of the Central Union of the Fine Arts, ap plied to industry. More than 300 persons were present, and there were speeches and toasts in be half of the connection between art and industry. Letters from Vienna state that the Emperor and Empress of Austria will certainly arrive at Paris towards the end of July. They will come incognito, accompanied by M. de Beust. A grand banquet is to be given this evening to _ _ the Viceroy of Egypt by the City of Paris. The Viceroy makes the most of his time. Yesterday he was at the Exhibition in the Champ de Mars. Early this morning he went to the Agricultural Exhibition at Billancourt, and to-morrow I shall send some very interesting particulars connected with his visit. In some countries people seem to do business while asleep. At least this was the case with the Viceroy of Egypt when he went to the Exhibition in the Champ de Mars. He seemed fatigued immediately after his arrival, and proceeding to his parlour he stretched himself comfortably on the sofa, and said he should have a quiet nap. His highness, however, said to Mr. Raimbeaux who accompanied him, "While I am asleep go and buy me a few curiosities." In answer to the question, the Vice roy told M. Raimbeaaux he was not particular as to what he bought. He might buy what he liked. M. Raimbeaux upon this hint took a tour of inspec tion, and bought some " unconsidered trifles" to the amount of 200,000 f., while the Viceroy was enjoying his siesta, so that he must have been wide awake while the Viceroy was asleep.] There is again a wonderful change of weather. After a very cold morning, in the afternoon it be came oppressively hot. Paris is inundated with alarming reports about Mexico. One of the latest is that the city of Mexico has been captured by Juarez. A grand banquet of 8,000 covers is to be given by the Exhibitors to the Emperor. It will take place in the Tuileries gardens, by permission. M. Schneider, President of the Legislative Body will preside. LATEST INTELLIGENCE, (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE REPORT ON THE CHURCH PRO- PERTY BILL. FLORENCE, June 27 (Evening). In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Signor Ferraris presented the report of the Com mittee upon the bill for levying an extraordinary tax on the ecclesiastica l p ro perty. The report is fixed for discussion af ter the Budget. The following ar e the prop osa l s o f t h e Com mittee :—The unification and extension of the laws for the suppression and conversion of all ecclesi astical property, exc e p tin g o nly such as may be long to the parishes. An ex traordinary tax of 30 per cent. is to b e levied on all the ecclesi astical property rte. All landed pro perty of the of the State, and be mana g ed a nd sold by provincial commissioners, w ho will be super i n t en d e d b y a cen t ra l commission. The duty of the latter will also be to control the financial operation, to fix the sale price of estates, as well as to issue mortgage bonds specially g uaranteed by these estates, and re deemable at par in 15 years. This operation is to be continued until the advance of 400 million of lires on the value of these estates can be obtained. In conclusion, the report points out the neces sity that these financial operations should be accom panied by the strictest economy, and also combine with a reform of the system of public accounts and of the collection of taxes, and with au improvement of the ordinary budget by means of new taxes. The Minister of the Interior, replying to a ques- tion, said that he would take measures to prevent an early prorogation of Parliament. The Chamber then passed to the discussion of the budget of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and some of the Deputies asked that reductions should be made in the salaries of the diplomatic agents. The Nazione of to-day states that Signor Ferrara had tendered his resi gna ti o n, and that Signor Rattazi had assumed t h e por tf o li o of Finance ad interim. The Gazette contradicts the rumour that General Cialdini had tendered his resignation, but confirms the fact that General La Marrnora had resigned, but that his resignation had not been accepted.

The New York and Bremen Company's steamer tween the differ rent nations of Europe, and there is no doubt that the French Treaty with which he was so closely connected helped very much to pro duce a betb er feeling between ourselves and our nearest neigl tbours. RICHARD COBDEN was a faith ful and laborious public servant, and his country was not ungt •ateful. He received during his life time many sul)stardial tokens of his fellow-country men's approval, a'ad since his death his name has been duly honov-rul and cherished. The cere monial of Wednesday was a fitting token of the affectionate rega rd with which he is still thought of by the inhabitat tts of Lancashire, and the beautiful statue of Salfor I will recal to many generations the career of a mat i who without any adventitious aid succeeded in cat rying a great public reform, and in powerfully affec ting the legislation of his time and the fortunes of his country. According to the news brougbt to us from New York on the 18th, the Attorney-General STANBERRY has pronounced himself decidedly against the as sumption of arbitrary powers by the military com manders of the South. The Attorney-General says that the Civil Rights Bill is still in force, and that commanders have no right to establish military courts to try civil cases. He adds, very justly, that commanders have no power to declare a new coda of laws, as such powers would place them on an equality with Congress. It is said that the PRESIDENT is preparing an order reinstating the Southern officials recently removed, prohibiting their removal for the future. It is doubtful whether Congress would sanction such an act, notwithstanding Mr. STAN BERRY'S ingenious attempt to represent the com manders as infringing the rights of Congress. The Cabinet favours the enforcement of the Reconstruc tion Act as interpreted by the Attorney General, who declares that substantially it only disfranchises those rebels who held State or military office, having taken the oath to support the constitution of the United States. Congress will, it is said, reassemble in July, but unless its members have been employ ing the recess very profitably there is not much hope of their assisting in the satisfactory settlement of the difficulty. The Atlantic Cable brings us a rumour that Maximilian has been "pardoned" and banished. The pardon is rather a farce, but the banishment may be perhaps the best solution of the problem. The unfortunate Prince, on his return to Europe, may say with FRANCIS I. that all is lost but honour. He is still young enough, however, for a happier if less exalted career, and be has secured the re spect and sympathy of all by his courage and for titude under his reverses. The North Schleswig question seems likely to engage a great deal of attention just now, and all the efforts made by Prussia to connect a bad cause with a good one are unsuccessful. The greatest discontentment prevails at Copenhagen as to the course pursued by the Berlin statesmen, and it is quite evident that the way in which the Prussians read the Treaties, made at various times, differs materially from their original purpose. The Dag bladet declares that the guarantees that Prussia demands for the German inhabitants of North Schleswig are merely a part of the question, and that a subordinate portion of it too. The negotia tions turn upon the money of Duppel and Alsen. The elections to the North Ger man Parliament may plainly point out the national lines, and yet Prussia seeks to evade the question, and ignore what does not meet her views. Upon this it is sail that the " Schleswig Danes would prefer the common lot of slavery until the great day of liberation should dawn." It is worthy of note that Ilerr TWESTER has been sentenced by the disciplinary Court of Berlin to pay a fine of one hundred thalers on account of a speech made by Lim in the Chamber of Deputies. We would com mend this significant circumstance to the attention of those advanced disciples of progress in this country who have been felicitating themselves upon the great result achieved by Count BISMARCK in the progress of liberty in Prussia. It is worth while to have universal suffrage when members are fined for expressing their opinions. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. The Moniteur says :—" The number of Princes who upon the occasion of the Universal Exhibitiori have come to visit the Emperor and Empress aug ments every day. Their Majesties have received during the week the Grand Duke of Baden and the Grand Duchess, daughter of the King of Prussia ; the Grand Duke of Mecklenbourg Schwerin, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, the Prince Royal of Saxony and his wife, the Princess Caroline, the daughter of Prince Gustavus of Wasa ; the Count de Flandres, brother to the King of the Belgians, and the Countess de - Flandres, formerly Princess de Hohenzollern; Prince Humbert of Italy, eldest son of King Victor Emmanuel, and also the Duke d'Aoste, his brother, and the Duchess d'Aoste, for merly Princess de la Cisterne ; Prince Arthur of England, third son of Queen Victoria. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge will be in Paris on Saturday." The Emperor of Russia on his return to St. Petersburg stopped in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, in Wurtemberg, in Prussia, and in Poland. The Czar was everywhere received with the most respect ful sympathy. At Darmstadt he saw his brother in-law the Grand Duke of Hesse, brother of the Empress of Russia, and at Stuttgardt his sister the Queen of Wurtemburg. At Berlin he was present with the King of Prussia at a review of 50,000 men. At Warsaw, where the Empress came to meet him, he went to the Greek Church with the Grand Dukes, the Prince of Oldenburg, and the Prince Alexander of Hesse. On the 17th June a Papal chapel was held in the Vatican, in commemoration of the accession of the Holy Father to the Pontifical throne. His Holi ness, who was born on the 13th of May, 1792, has just inaugurated the 22d year of his Pontificate. On receiving the congratulations of the Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishops who had come to Rome from all parts of the globe, the Pope made a speech which excited profound attention from his audience. " The Vicar of Jesus Christ," said his Holiness in conclusion, " will always raise his bands to Heaven. Support, as was the case with Moses, his arms en feebled by age." The fete of the 27th of June, to celebrate the eighteenth secular anniversary of the Martyrdom of St. Peter and St. Paul, will be one of splendid eclat, and will afford another striking proof of the vene ration and affection entertained by the population of Rome, as well as the universal Catholic body, towards the Holy Father. The Empress has restunesl her kind and benevo lent visits to the charitable institutions of Paris. Accompanied by the Princess Eugenie de Leuchten berg and the Grind Duchess Maria of Russia, her Majesty has successively visited the institution of Sainte Peleriue, the prison of St. Lazare, where young female criminals are provided for, and the Imperiale Maison of Charenton. The Empress made minute inquiries, and expressed a desire to assuage the condition of the inmates, and to add to their reasonable comforts. Crowds were collected around all these establishments, and cheers of de votion, loyalty, and affection greet her Majesty everywhere. The Emperor yesterday reviewed a portion of the troops of the Imperial Guard and the First Corps d'armee in the Place Carrousel. His Majesty was accompanied by Prince Humbert, the Viceroy of Egypt, the Count de Flandre, and Prince Arthur. , Marshal Niel, the Dlinieter of War Ina also present.

At the unveiling of the statue of Mr. Cobden at Salford on Wednesday, Mr. Villiers, who was re- ceived with great applause, said he very gratefully acknowledged the favour with which they had re- ceived the announcement of his name as taking that part in the proceedings which the committee had as signed to him. If he might ascribe that to the friendly words of the ex-Mayor, or to their recollection of the past, he assured them he was not only gratified, but _ . very grateful. But he really thought that some apo logy was almost required from him for presenting himself to them on that occasion, because it was necessarily one of great interest, and he could not help feeling that he was occupying the place of one who would have been able to do full justice to the occasion. He had no pretensions of that kind, and had only acceded to the request that was made to him from sympathy with the purpose for which they had assembled, and from the satisfaction which he bad derived from joining those who had met to do honour to the memory of one whom he very much esteemed, with whom he was long and intimately as sociated, and with whom he had stood side by side in Lancashire when engaged in that great struggle for justice with which the name of Cobden must be im- perishably connected. (Applause.) He should ever look back with pride to the constant communi cation in which for years together he was placed with that most distinguished person, and he felt there was nothing that be could say that could heighten the esteem in which his name was held, or deepen the sorrow which was universally felt at his loss. He knew nothing which was more instructive as to the life and character of Richard Cobden than the uni versal outbreak of grief that proceeded from all the centres of civilisation throughout Europe and Ame rica. (Hear.) All regarded him as an enlightened citizen of the world, whose capacity and disposition enabled him to benefit his race. (Hear, hear.) To portray his character and career was impossible within the short space allowed to proceedings of that kind ; they must be studied and read in the history of his country throughout a long and very interesting period. (Hear, hear.) Thirty years had elapsed since he (Mr. Villiers) came into Lancashire for the sole purpose of making the acquaintance of Cobden, being prompted to do so by a perusal of his early literary productions. Ile (Mr. Villiers) was then in Parliament, and had already pledged himself to his constituents to leave nothing undone o procure the repeal of the unrighteous laws which ,ampered with the food of the people. (Hear, hear.) When he observed the wisdom, information, and en- lightenment that appeared in Cobden's early works he became most anxious to take counsel with the author. lie felt that his labour had not been un rewarded, for the impression of their early interviews had never been effaced from his mind. At that time Cobden was comparatively young, but he (Mr. Villiers) saw in him a man who had reflected deeply upon public affairs—who, by travel and study, had become well informed on all matters passing around him, and whose views with regard to the improve ment of the people of this country were as bold as they were benevolent—views which in after life he never had occasion to change. He believed that peace and goodwill among the nations of the earth was not merely a sentiment to be preached, but was also a practical policy—(hear, hear), which, but for the ignorance and folly of men, and the rulers of men, must prevail—(hear, hear)—and to the last day of his life he did not despair that this great ob ject might be obtained by generous and enlightened - . legislation. If any man would candidly consider what was the course pursued through life by Cob den, he would see what amount of thought, time, and labour he devoted to that object. At the outset of his political career he viewed with indignation the laws and policy of this country, so far as they dealt with the food and trade of the people. He saw, and asserted with boldness and confidence, that those laws not only marred the material pros perity of the country, but also that they precluded everything like moral and social improvement among the people. (Hear, hear.) From that time he determined to devote all his energy and powers to procure the repeal of those laws. He was often reproached with being a man of one idea, and, in deed, with having only objects of trade in view. He had the courage—which was his great characteristic, to utterly disregard that reproach—(hear, hear) — and he said that when he considered the idea and what it involved, viz., the education of the people, their moral and social improvement, and better re lations with all countries of the world, he was not afraid of being reproached with being exclusively oc cupied with one idea. (Hear.) He was not what his opponents liked to consider him, merely an agitator, because he never spoke with more truth than when he said that agitation was wholly un •congenial to his disposition, and nothing gave him more pain than to engage in violent action. At first he could not believe that what was then called " the Reformed Parliament" would not repeal the Corn Laws, but he himself was not then in Parliament. He (Mr. Villiers) was there, and did not encourage that notion, but was disposed to believe—an opinion which bad been since entertained by others—that if the corn laws had not then existed they would have been enacted by the House of Commons as it was then constituted, because, although it was not the intention of the authors of the Reform Bill of 1832, and was greatly to their disappointment, the interest which had passed the corn laws was greatly strengthened by that bill. Cobden's personal ob servations, however, led him to a conclusion oppo site to that which he bad previously formed, for he was in the House of Commons one night during a discussion upon the corn laws, and had an oppor tunity of seeing the demeanour of the House, and what any man was exposed to who conducted a case in that House under personal disadvantage and dis couragement. Cobden left the House suddenly that night, returned to Lancashire, and determined that he would never cease to work or act until the public should be duly apprised of the character of those laws and the difficulty of repealing them. (Hear, hear.) That being his disposition, it was fortunate that his domicile was in Lancashire. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Villiors) need not allude to the result of the appeals that were made to the intelligence, public spirit, and munificence of that county, how supplies were raised, how the League was formed, how Cobden became its presiding genius, and with what infinite effect and talent that combination was wielded for seven years in conflict with the Legislature, aye and until the garrison surrendered—(applause and laughter)—and with as distinct an object and character as any that existed two centuries before, when the coatlict was bee tween the Parliament and the Crown ; with this difference, however, that during the seven years' war he (Mr. Villiers) did not think there was a single act of violence or illegality perpetrated in the case of the League. (Hear, hear.) It should be mentioned, to the credit and honour of Cobden, bhi,t there never lived a man who was more tena- cious than he of moral means to attain an end. :Hear, hear.) What he often stated was true— viz., that the scheme of the League was to instruct the nation, and he collected around him by all the means within his power all the men of intelligence, learning, and education that it was possible to pro- cure, in order that they might diffuse information that was essential to instruct the people. No man knew better than Cobden what he derived from the learning and aksistance of others, and it was not consistent with the purity or modcsty of his cha- ratter ever to ascribe more credit to himself for what was achieved than what was due. Indiscreet admirers might have assigned to him powers almost superhuman, and said that he discovered the great principles on which our commercial policy now rested, and that by his exertions alone the former prevailing policy had been changed. That was not Cobden's view. He always hailed with satisfac tion any accession of intelligence, or power, or education that he could obtain. He (Mr. Villiers) remembered being in Manchester when Mr. Bright made his first speech, and he remembered not only Cobden's predictions of the eminence which he would obtain as a speaker and public man, but also the satisfaction which Mr. Cobden expressed at the anticipation of Mr. Bright becoming his col- league in his future work. (Hear, hear.) Every one who remembered those times knew how cordially those two men acted together, and now they were considered the two giants of the League. Nor was Cobden properly charged with having selfish objects with respect to trade ; because when the,Corn Laws were repealed and free trade was avowed, Cobden, true to the scheme of his early life, identified himself with all those other great questions which the people considered essential to their improvement. In all those matters that were included in the terms Peace, Economy, and Reform, he became almost an enthusiast. He never shrank from calling on the Government to reduce the public expenditure, to make the taxation more equitable, and above all to foster more friendly re- lations with foreign countries. (Applause.) Cobden had left records of his views upon all those questions. But perhaps the subject that he had nearest his heart was the one which still was the most important for us all to understand--namely, the necessity of maintaining peace with other nations. (Hear, bear.) Cobden perhaps deserved more credit for what he did in that cause than for any of his other labours ; and when posterity came to judge him, he (Mr. Villiers) believed they would attach most value to his exertions and writings in the cause of peace. He (Mr. Villiers) said that because we were somehow a pugnacious race, and did not like to be tutored on that subject, those who preached peace, he feared, were treated a little like those who preacbed temperance, and not well received at first. But Cobden's courage always led him to state what he believed to be true and right ; and, in spite of all the reproaches and charges made against him, he invariably tried to correct the errors and false impressions which people had on this subject. His writings as well as his speeches on this subject were worthy of perusal ; and his most respected widow had done a good ser- vice to his memory, as well as to the country at large, in directing the republication of all that he bad written upon the subject of peace. (Hear, hear.) Those writings deserved to be studied for the information and the reasoning they contained. Cobden had the satisfaction of seeing the success of the principles that he advocated on the subject of free trade; and it was one of the gratifying results of that great conflict that we at this day realised everything that ever was promised or predicted in respect to it, and to a far greater extent than even the promoters of free trade had any idea of. (Hear, hear.) It would be absurd for anybody to allude to the technical proofs of such a statement. Men in that district daily experienced tho results of free trade. In the last year of his life Cobden made a remark on this subject which was very expressive ; he said, " The expansion of trade in this country has been greater during the past 14 years than it had been for a thousand years before." That might convey some idea of the results of the change which had been effected, of the mischief of the laws which formerly existed, and of the importance of the labours of those who effected the change. Cobden was not without his triumphs also in the results of his peace policy. Ile devoted himself most disin- terestedly and courageously, not only to the advo cacy of peace doctrines, but also to trying to remove from the public those false impressions that led to panics, and made them ripe for unnecessary wars. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Villiers) remembered Cobden, in a most able speech in the House of Commons, moving an address to the Crown—that the Crown would interfere with other Powers for the purpose of inducing arbitration in questions whereon nations were in dispute with each other. That notion was treated with derision. The time had not arrived for it ; but he urged every argu ment in its favour which could possibly be adduced. Within seven years of that time Cobden had the satisfaction of observing that his identical resolution had been recommended to the congress at Paris and unanimously adopted by the representatives of all the Powers of Europe. (Applause.) We had there the declaration that it was the duty of States who were in dispute with each other to seek the inter vention or arbitration of some friendly or neutral Power rather than engage in the hostilities of war. Had Cobden been spared but for another year or two, he would have had the satisfaction of observing the other day the application of that very principle in the case where war seemed to be imminent be tween France and Prussia ; that scourge was pre vented simply by the application of that principle and the intervention of other powers. (Hear, hear.) He would say, then, that people should be slow in describing Cobden as visionary when he talked of the progress that might be made in pre venting war and producing more friendly relations between the different countries of the earth. Cobden lived in constant apprehension that war might break out and disturb all the prospects that ho contemplated of the improvement of mankind by means :of better international relations. He felt certain that, if Cobden had lived, he would have devoted the rest of his days to promoting a better feeling between nation and nation. It was that purpose which led him to engage in the negotiation of the French treaty. He knew well enough that it was not necessary for a treaty to carry out the principles of free trade. We had got free trade acknowledged here; and there was no fear of its being taken from us ; but Cobden saw the disposi tion in the enlightened ruler of France and his Go vernment to adopt free trade, and he went heartily into a negotiation for a treaty, less with the idea of extending trade than to establish friendly relations between France and England. (Hear, hear.) That treaty had important commercial results ; and he could not help thinking that there was a better feel ing now between France and this country than had ever existed before, and thus Cobden's object had been realised. (Hear.) On that account we had, indeed, lost him too soon ; because he be lieved that for the future interests of mankind nothing could be more important than to cor rect those notions which led people to engage in the dreadful calamities of war. We must feel grateful that Cobden was given to us at the time in which lie lived; and he had not departed from us without leaving a glorious legacy in his cha racter and career, which, if studied, would exer cise a most important effect upon the rising generation. (Applause.) It was gratifying that the moral of his story was not tainted by the in gratitude of his country. Cobden's services were duly appreciated in his lifetime ; they were re cognised by the people at large ; and, to the credit of the Government, the honours of the State and of office were placed at his disposal. It was pleasant to think that he left this world after having not only seen the success of the measures that he advocated, but also after having received the grateful homage of his country for the services he had rendered. Those who bad provided the mon- ument about to be inaugurated were also doing their part in affording useful example to the community. They were showing that time should not obliterate the recollection of services rendered, or preclude the expression of grateful feeling for the results of those services which were now in daily enjoyment. They were directing the attention of the rising generation to those who deserved esteem, and teaching the youth of the country how, by undeviating integrity, perseverance, and devotion to public interests, a man might acquire honour and fame. On that account he felt the greatest satisfaction in attending there that day, and joining in the honour which was being conferred upon his departed friend. (Applause.) Mr. Villiers then directed the removal of the drapery which covered the statue, and the first im pression of the monument was expressed in a round of cheers. Mr. VILLIERS said, in the name of the Memorial Committee, he begged to transfer the statue to the mayor of Salford, on behalf of the Corporation, who had undertaken to receive it. It was impossible not to admire the production of the art and ability of the sculptor. The resemblance of the features was most precise, and the expression of the countenance was most faithfully pourtrayed. It was a glorious recollection of the original. (Applause.) (fort Cirtitar.
