After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be ent rely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs., at the cost of 4c1., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 7d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16e. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

He hoped our Government would not interfere, and he deprecated our having sent 3,000 troops to Canada, since there was no prospect of an attack being made upon it by the Americans, and since the act might engender ill feeling in the breasts of the Americans towards After briefly speaking of co-operative societies and Parliamentary reform, the hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst great applause. A resolution was moved, seconded, and carried, to the effect that the meeting approve of Mr. Cobden's address, of the principles of commercial polieyenun ciated by him, and declare its entire confidence in him as their representative. It also declared that Mr. Cobden deserved the thanks of the nation for his having concluded the commercial treaty with France, and thereby benefited Europe and the world. Mr. BRIGHT, nho was loudly cheered again and again, then spoke in support of a resolution which. had been moved and seconded, to the effect that the present expenditure of this country was profligate, and demanded the immediate attention of the Le gislature. With this object it was imperative there should be granted a comprehensive measure of re form. He regretted that he had to say anything after 'Mr. Cobden's speech, for he doubted whether anything he could say would add to the public in terest that would be taken in the proceedings of that meeting. He believed that by the treaty Mr. Cobden had conferred lasting honour upon himself, and immeasurable blessings on two of the greatest nations of the earth. Mr. Cobden and he (Mr. Bright) had been charged with taking the sordid view only of every question which arose. But he thought it was a great idea to save a nation money, and a great idea was worth a host of small ones. Taxes were money taken from the pockets of the people. He remembered some years since seeing a caricature of two or three overgrown footmen dis cussing the question of taxation. Thomas asked John what taxation was, but he was unable to answer the question, for the fact did not touch him. Taxes were a levy made upon the people by the Government, for the pur pose of preserving order; 'for the administration of justice, and for the defence of the country 4 but if the Government took more than was necessary for all this, the people who paid it would not receive any benefit from it. If the Government took five minutes' worth of labour more than was necessary the Government clearly gave no return for that which they took, and it did not act in `a friendly way towards the people, but quite the reverse, and against their interests. Now, he could not help thinking that a Government that took £70,000,00t) sterling annually from the people took too much. He remembered that same time ago a very distin guished military man in this country wrote to him to oppose the vote on the navy and army estimates, and stated as his reason for so doing, that the more money there was voted the greater would be its waste, the greater would be the confusion in the departments, and the less there would be of real de fence of the country in case of need. In two life times the national debt had grown from nothing to £840,000,000, and our expenditure had grown in the same period from £2,000,000 to £Y0,000,000. Well, he would undertake to say that no one who did not wear a straitwaistcoat, or who was outside of an asylum, would express his belief that for all this increased expenditure the masses of the country had gained one farthing. He was told that the peo ple of Rochdale were greater readers of English his tory than those of any other town, for he had been told that a book canvasser had sold upwards of 500 copies of a history of England in Rochdale the cost of which would be £3 per copy, and he would venture to say that after reading their history when they got it, they would arrive at the conclusion he had said all sane men must arrive at. He then went on to speak of the late Russian war, and the result which it had had on Turkey—a result which had contri buted more to its injury than any other thing since it had been a nation. The Sultan he learnt was now dead, and there were those who feared that his death would be attended with disturbances in that country. Now, if disturbances should take place, then he hoped England would carry out her policy of non-intervention, and that not one bit of English treasure or a drop of English blood would be spent or spilled in defence of a nation that was doomed to decay as certainly as anything that was written in the Book of Fate. Mr. Bright then re ferred, in passing, to the volunteer movement, which he somewhat ridiculed. He alleged that those who raised the cry which brought about the movement were more to blame than the men who had been induced to take part in it. Many old men, however, although they had been misled by their credulousness, had taken part in it from the best and most laudable of motives. Mr. Bright con cluded his speech amid loud cheers, and the meet ing soon after separated. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, J UNE 27, 1861. AMERICA AND CANADA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Canadian mail steamship Hibernian has arrived with advices from Quebec to the 15th, and from New York by telegraph to the previous day. All the troops in Washington, save a few neces sary to guard the approaches to the grounds, have been removed from the Capitol, and the work of cleaning for the approaching session of Congress was rapidly proceeding. Another Whitworth rifle gun had reached New York, a present from Americans in Europe to Pre sident Lincoln. A Federal column of about 6,000 mon, including the Rhode Island battery, have moved up from the Washington division towards Harper's Ferry. It was very likely intended for the ultimate occupation of Leesburg, crossing the Potomac at the only fordable point between Harper's Ferry and the chain bridge at Georgetown. The first stopping place would probably be Edward's Ferry, opposite Leesburg, which would prevent the Confederates from passing from their stronghold down across the country upon Washington. The occupation of Lees burgand Washington by the Northern troops would cut off the communication between Harper's Ferry and the Manassas Junction, as well as protect Wash ington from invasion by the Confederate forces on the Upper Potomac. A correspondent of the Boston Post, alluding to the movements of the Confederate forces, says : " The Confederate authorities are moving with remarkable deliberation and perfect system in their military operations, and it has become sufficiently evident that they are about concentrating a force of 60,000 men at or within a day or two's march of the Manassas Junction, from - which point they now threaten our lines on the other side of the Potomac. They are in no hurry to make an attack, and have, till within a day or two it is believed, confidently and hopefully expected an attack upon their own lines from our side. They will now await the result of the Federal demonstration upon Harper's Ferry and also the approach of hot weather. They also, it is said, build some hopes upon the weakness of the Federal forces that may attend the crises of the expiration of the time of the three-months men. But, profiting by any mis fortune or mistake on the part of the Federal Go vernment and its troops, they probably intend to bring suddenly against our line of defence and this city a force of 60,000 men. They think, perhaps, that by such a stroke they will end the war. But that will be a serious mistake. They could not long hold the city, and probably would not at tempt to. They would hold it long enough for their purpose—viz,, to secure recognition as a Go• vernment de facto. In fine, there is a prospect of some hard fighting hereabouts before September." The Confederate force at Fairfax Court-house is reported to have abandoned that place on the 10th, on hearing of the advance of the Federal troops. Further information is contained in the following telegram, dated Haggerstown, June 11 : " A telegraphic operator stationed at Martins burg and a breakman on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad arrived here to-day. They left there yes terday .The latter says the furthest bridge that has been burnt is at North Branch, five miles east of Cumberland ; the next is at Patterson's Creek; the next is at Sleepy Creek, 17 miles of Martinsburg ; and one at Obequeon, two miles from Martinsburg. There will be no trouble in rebuilding the first, but probable some trouble.with the last. Gen. Johnston ordered the Obequeon bridge to be rebuilt, and has not been able to accomplish it." A telegram, dated Frederick, June 16, says— _ _ " The bridge across the Potomac at Harper's Ferry was blown up and entirely destroyed between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning. All the troops have been withdrawn from the Maryland shore, and the town of Harper's Ferry has been evacuated by a great body of the troops recently there, but a small force still remains. Six car-loads of provisions were destroyed to prevent their falling into the hands of the Federalists. Tne bridge at Shepherdstown was burnt last night." The following extract contains further particulars respecting the fight at Great Bethel— " FORT MONROE, June 13.—A despatch received at Baltimore says no military movements of impor tance have taken place to-day. Captain Davis yes terday entered the enemy's lines with a flag of truce and went within half a mile of Yorktown. He saw a formidable battery at Great Bethel, but was not allowed to examine the works. He was courteously treated. The Secession pickets now extend to New market-bridge. The cavalry encampment at York town and adjacent places are being strongly forti fied. There are also batteries between Great Bethel and Yorktown. Major Winthrop was shot by a Louisiana rifleman while making a vigorous charge. He was buried by the rebels. Two Zouaves died while prisoners. The rebels represent that they have other prisoners whom they are willing to ex change. Captain Phillips has to-day visited the fortress with a flag of truce in reference to the same. General Butler and Quartermaster Fanzy have this afternoon gone to Newport News. The heat was 120 deg. in the shade yesterday. The county bridge where the battle was fought is near the head of a branch of Pack River, and is better known as Great Bethel; after crossing a narrow but appa rently deep stream the road winds somewhat to the left. Along its side, just beyond the bridge, the rebels had planted their battery. A line of en trenchment then followed on the right side of the road, a ditch only being between them. There was a stream and morass on the left side of the road, widening so as to render futile any attempt to out flank the rebels on that side, while the formation of the ground on the right side made a flank move ment very circuitous. Lieut.-Col. Washburn, with 250 men, had by a wide circuit reached the rear of the great battery, and it is quite evident that the rebels, who it is now ascertained did not number 600 men, were on the point of leaving the field." " NEW YORK, June 13.—Lieut. Butler states that when he left Fortress Monroe it was the determina- tion to take the battery at Great Bethel, and regi ments were in rivalry as to the right of the advanc ing column. General Butler's official account, as far as he was able to give it, not having received any official return from General Pierce, states that the affair was intended to be a surprise, but the unfortunate blunder of Colonel Bendix spoiled the surprise and gave the rebels good notice of their presence. Thirty prisoners were taken at Little Bethel, and are now in charge of General Butler. General Butler is to be reinforced by ten additional regiments from New England." A Baltimore gentleman of respectability, who came up from Old Point on the 13th and spent some time there, furnishes the following : " Up to the time the boat left last evening he was in conversation with both the officers and privates who were in the engagement. Some mortification is expressed at the bad management of General Pierce, but none as to the extent of the loss, which t wasfound of th e to temporary p lessthan orarya advantage supposed,tage gained or by the c t h h e e r a c - re bels. One of Grebbl e ' s comman d sta t es t h a t h a d advance been ordered instead of a retreat the bat tery would have been taken in five minutes. Lieutenant Grabble had silenced all their guns ex cept one r a i n fl d ed w c a a s n e n o o n n e , en w t hi c h was fired with great rapidity, and badly com mand. This gun was worked managed, their balls H w cutting ell off the tops i s c , e te d d entirely on his com owfe;thi e su treespp supplied e o d v over with their ex heads.per experienced but all the rest eehd a g d u t n h n e e b rs att n e o ry do b u ee h n t been moment ae theGre Grebble e s s p w i k o e u d l would s have n a b t e e t ho Lieutenant eu nrteeoetiyheireceived orders to retreat, as is supposede,aovny surprise at such orders, presuming that General and Pierce had discovered attempt s to cut him off, that should his gun be captured in the retreat he would make it harmless. He had just driven in a spike when a ball killed him. Colonel Bendix's Zouaves evinced great bravery. They could with difficulty be restrained from making an assault without orders. Five of the rebels are known to have been killed by the Zouaves outside of the works, and it is presumed from the effective firing of Lieutenant Grebble that considerable damage must have been done to the rebels inside of the bat tery which was of sandbags, hidden from the view .by: bushes. The number of Zouaves killed was five, wounded 20, missing seven. They attri bute their heavy loss to their bright uni forms, while the regulars attribute it to their superior bravery and daring. The whole number of killed and wounded, as ascertained at the fortress last evening, was 19 killed, 47 wounded, and 5 missing. Major Winthrop was not killed. Several of those killed were inhumanly slaughtered while carrying off the wounded, which causes a bitter feeling among the troops. Last evening, just as the boat was leaving, the Zouaves brought in three prisoners, a captain of rebel cavalry and two pri vates, splendidly mounted, with elegant trappings. The captain's horse attracted great attention. An other attack at Great Bethel was shortly expected. The pickets extended nearly to the battlefield." The Baltimore Sun asserts that 10,000 Federal troops were killed. Major Winthrop is still missing, and it is supposed he has been taken prisoner. From Hagerstown, Maryland, under date of June 12, we learn that there were continued skirmishes taking place, but with very little injury to either side. Major Morgan, of the New York Regiment, had arrived from Queenstown and Centreville with 160 men. They had a skirmish, and captured from the enemy 500 stand of arms and one prisoner. They were fired into from the bushes. No lives were lost. From the Mississippi we learn that the Federal blockading steamer Brooklyn was ashore at the month of the river. According to a telegram, dated St. Louis, June 12, about 200. State troops were sent from Jefferson down to the Pacific Railroad, and a part of the Gas conade bridge had been burnt by order of the State authorities. The telegraph wires had been cut a short distance from Jefferson, and operators were forbidden to make repairs for the present. The Maryland House of Legislature having in structed the Senator to Congress from that State to vote for the recognition of the Southern Con federacy, great indignation was excited among the Union men of the State. Many of them advocated the Federal Government dispersing the Legislature by force. - Confederate forces to the number of 1,500 men were intrenched at Charleston, Virginia, with six pounders, ready mounted, and had two or three members of the Wheeling Convention in gaol there. The Wheeling Western Virginia Convention had adopted unanimously resolutions thanking General M'Clellan for sending troops to Western Virginia, and commending the gallantry of the troops at Philippi, and complimenting the bravery of Colonel Kelly. On the 11th Governor Jackson demanded of General Lyon the disbanding and withdrawal of the Federal forces in Missouri, which, if don e , th e State militia was to be disbanded. General Lyon refused, and Governor Jackson took the train for Jefferson city late in the evening. The New Orleans Picayune of the 9th says, two Federal transports with 1,500 troops aboard arrived off the bar on the previous afternoon. General Twiggs had issued an order prohibiting all vessels from passing Port Jackson without the Governor's written permission. From Panama, under date June 4, we have ad vices from Carthagena, which report Mosquera to have beaten the Government forces in two battles, in the first of which, fought April 25, the latter lost 1,300 in killed and wounded. The second battle occurred near Bogota. Mosquera was doubtless in the capital. According to advises from Memphis to the 6th, there were 6,500 troops at Camp Jackson, on the railroad between Memphis and Columbus, with 20 32-pounders. There were five batteries on the Mis sissippi between these places, one on the Arkansas side being made for the Confederates. There were no rifled cannon in Tennessee. There was a large encampment of Confederates, consisting of 30,000, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. The following despatch had been received by the Governor-General of Canada : "Downing-street, June 1. " Sir,—You are already aware that the Queen is desirous of observing the strictest neutrality in the contest which appears to be imminent between the United Sates and the so-styled Confederate States of North America. I have now to inform you that, in order to give full effect to this principle, her Majesty has been pleased to interdict the armed ships and also the privateers of both parties from carrying prizes made by them into the ports, har bours, roadsteads, or waters of the United Kingdom, or of any of her Majesty's colonies or possessions abroad. " It is her Majesty's desire that thi , ; prohibition should be forthwith notified to ail proper authori ties within her dominions, and I am to desire that you take measures to secure its effectual observance within the limits of your Government.—l have, &c., "NEWCASTLE. " Governor the Right Hon. Sir E. W. Head." ening, that his reappearance in Pekin is being delayed, and delayed indefinitely. Reports speak vaguely that a rebellion has broken out in Mongolia. From Pekin we have little news in addition to what appeared in our last overland summary. The members of the various foreign embassies are meeting with all desirable civility. The residence of the British Legation is an enormous place, with detached outbuildings, covering about four and a half acres cf ground. Workmen of various kinds are busily engaged putting it in good repair. At Tien-tsin trade is beginning to prosper. Many of the leading houses in Hong Kong are pre paring to erect structures suitable for business, and very strong prospects exist of future prosperity for this port. The troops are disappointed at their stay being prolonged, and that without any definite period being hinted at. At Chefoo (called in the treaty Tang-Chow) trade was not so brisk, the market having received a temporary glut. The principal news from Shanghae relates to the fluctuating success of rebels and Imperialists. Two naval expeditions had gone up the Yang-tsze iii search of deserters from English ships ; the first visit was to Nankin. where a number of English sailors were captured in the service of the rebels; the next was to au Imperial camp, with corres ponding results. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. Lord John Russell yesterday morning presided over the inaugural meeting of the British and Foreign School Society's new Training College at Stockwell. Among the company were Earl Gran ville, Lord Ducie, Lord Ebnry, Mr. Briscoe, M.P., Sir J. Boileau, &c. From the report, read by Mr. WILKs, it ap peared that, the society's school in the Borough being found insufficient for the supply of the re quired number of qualified teachers, the committee had determined to build the new school for 100 female students, leaving the old establishments in the Borough to the training masters, The site and buildings cost £16,972, towards which the Com mittee of Privy Council on Education had contri buted L 5,742 125., and there had been received from contributors rather over £7,000, leaving upwards of £4,000 to be provided for, in addition to the cost of the fittings and furniture, an exercise ground, and other incidental expenses. The new building already accommodated 75 pupils, and there were 131 candidates for admission at Christmas. The institution was unsectarian, but not secular. The Bible was the only text-book of religious instruc tion, and that without curtailment or remark. The Earl GRANVILLE moved the first resolution : " That this meeting, impressed with the importance of the suitable training of teachers for elementary schools, re joice in the completion of the edifice, to be henceforward appropriated to the preparation of young women for con ducting such schools in connection with the British and Foreign School Society." Lord DUCIE having seconded the resolution, it was put and carried. Lord EBURY moved the second resolution : " That this meeting, approving of the comprehensive basis of the British and Foreign School Society, and sym pathizing with the success and extension of its efforts, would commend its claims to the liberal support of all friends to the Scriptural education of the poorer classes." Mr. BEisooE seconded and Sir S. BOILEAU sup poited the resolution, which was also carried un animously. _ _ _ The Key. S. R. CATLEY proposed the cordial thanks of the meeting to Lord J. Russell for his kindness in taking the chair. The motion was seconded by Mr. H. E, GURNEY, the Treasurer, and carried by acclamation. Lord J. RUSSELL rose to acknowledge gratefully the resolution which the meeting had just carried. It had always given him the greatest pleasure to be able to attend the meetings of this society. The principles upon which it was originally based were the best and the truest for a country like this. He considered it a misfortune that in the year 1808 they were not adopted as the principles upon which the national schools of this country should be founded. It had always seemed to him to be perfectly clear that, as the great msjority of the peo ple of this country acknowledged the authenticity of Scriptures, there should be school instruction in the Bible, and that the doctrine which belonged whether to the established church or to the various denominations should be imparted afterwards or on different days by the teachersof the denominations to which the parents of the children belong. How ever, it must be acknowledged that since the year 1808, when it was a matter of very fierce controversy whether it was right that the children of the poor shou'd receive education at all, to the present time, when persons of every rank and condition were vying with each other as to who should afford the best schooling to the poor, there had been a great and gratifying educational progress. (Hear, hear.) The last report of the commissioners showed the advance which had been made within the last few years. The number which had been added within a short time to the children who received education was such that the proportion who did not receive education was now not at all to be lamented, and in number would be diminished in a few years ; 8o that we should be able to say that the children of the English people generally were educated. He need not say how much it expanded the mind to have some knowledge of history, to have some knowledge of geography, how much the common interests and pursuits of life were furthered by the knowledge imparted in the Borough-road, and other schools in connection with this society. Then there was the industrial education which women were above all fitted to impart. There was the improvement in cookery, which really was a thing which tended to the comfort of the poorer classes as much as any thing could do. He remembered that on one occa sion he had the honour of accompanying her Majesty to a school which was maintained by Royal bounty in Windsor Park. In the girls' school there was an examination with respect to the mode of preparing rice pudding for dinner. The girls were examined as to the component parts of a rice pudding and how they were put together. He owned that the subject was quite new to him. (A laugh.) He had no notion that it was so com plex an affair as it seemed to be. (Laughter,) But he could well understand that to have a good rice pudding instead of a bad one would be a great comfort to the husband and father as well as to the wife and children. (Hear.) These things, how ever, were merely the accompaniments of the education that was given, and he had always thought that that would be a most imperfect edu 'cation which taught the sciences and did not culti vate and elevate the moral faculties and attend to the religious wants of man. (Hear.) The latter had been made the basis and foundation of all the instruction which this society provided. He trusted, therefore, that they would long continue to do so. When he considered the many illustrious men with whom from his youth he had had the honour of being associated in the British and Foreign School Society ; when he remembered that Mr. Wilber force gave ti.e society the advantage of his persua sive eloquence, attended all their meetings, and gave them the benevolent fruit of his Christian knowledge and his Christian disposition; when he remembered that some of the most well-informed of the Bishops of the Church of England had atten ded these meetings ; when he recollected that the universal and gigantic intellect of Lord Brougham had been used for the objects of the society ; when he remembered that many others, whom it would take too long to mention—and who could be remembered with greater pleasure than the late William Allen and Andrew Gurney (hear, hear) men whose relation by their benevolence showed how much they felt the duty that was incumbent on them to assist in this great work ?—when he recollected all these things, he felt proud in being allowed to participate in promoting this great un dertaking. He was not only ready to assist the society in every way in his power, but was grateful to the committee for giving him the opportunity of manifesting his interest in the case ; and he trusted that the appeal now made would be so successful that the institution, which had all the advantages it could have in sanitary position, and in which mas ters and mistresses would be trained who would have to teach and educate the present and future generation, would next year be reported to have been cleared, if not entirely, still to a considerable extent of its present liability. (Hear, hear.) _ The Board of Inland Revenue have raised a question as to the legality of the practice which obtains at the various docks to dispense with the penny stamp on orders to deliver to the parties issuing the orders. It was assumed that an order " Deliver to ourselves" implied suf ficiently that such delivery did not take ylace upon sale or transfer of the goods, inasmuch as parties can hardly be supposed to sell or transfer their own goods to themselves. Such, however, is not the view taken by the Inland Re• venue Board, who have notified to the dock authorities,— " T hat the intent and meaning of the act the 23d and 24th of Victoria, cap. 111, is that the words to selves' shall not be sufficient indication that the order is not on a sale or transfer, therefore an order to deliver to the persons known as the owners must be taken to be on a sale or transfer, just as much as if it were to deliver to a stranger, unless it be expressly stated on the face of the order that it is not on a sale or transfer," INDIA. By the arrival of the overland mail we receive advices from Calcutta to May 22, and from Madras to May 28. There is very little news. The Go vernment had published an analysis of the sums assigned to the various presidencies and provinces for public works during the current year. The whole sum sanctioned is £ 3 , 3 70,000 in the propor tion of £640,000 to Madras, £630,000 to the North Western Provinces, £520,000 to the Punjab, £510,000 to Bengal, £500,000 to Bombay, £190,000 to Oude, £lOO,OOO to Pegu, and the remainder in small sums to Nagpore, Hyderabad, Coorg, Tenas serim, and the Straits Settlements. Besides this total a sum of £82,500 is held in reserve for future claims, £305,000 is reserved for railway and tele graph charges, and the local funds for local works are estimated at half a million. The approximate distribution of expenditure among the guaranteed railway and irrigation companies in the current year will. be—to Bengal £2,400,000, to Bombay £1,850,000, to Madras £980,000, to the North West Provinces, £750,000, and to the Punjab £220,000, or £6,200,000 in all. An attempt has been made to construct abandonedctarailway out of local capital alone. The scheme by the Oude Railway Company for want of a guarantee, of a line from Cawnpore to Lucknow, has been taken up by three Christian merchants, and several of the great native landholders in Oude. Government has promised land and every assistance short of a guarantee. Thecsatpriiettasl isi is fixed at half a million sterling , in 20,000 shares of £25 each. said Thteo havepos i position undergoneion of affairs n in o the change.indigo districts It is reported that the Governor of Madras has for the present abandoned his intention of residing on the hills. The Madras Government has declined to appoint a gentleman to proceed to the cotton districts, as unnecessary, but promises to improve the roads as much as the funds at its disposal will permit. The Calcutta papers by this arrival state then Mr. Laing had gone to sea , in conse q u ence of ill health ; but we learn from a lat er sou rce that he arrived at Penang in the Gov ernme nt steamer Australian on the 24th of May , an dhad nearly recovered from his late dangerous illness. Moro business has been doing during the past few days, and shippers show more disposition to operate. At the banks money is still obtainable at previous rates. Freights to England are excessively languid ; although no material decline has yet taken place, the tendency is decidedly downward. CHINA. From China we have news from Hong Ko ng t o May 11; Shanghai, May 4. There is scar ce l y an event of any importance to record, except the taking of liankow by the rebels, already mentioned by telegraph. There is little in the way of political news to record for the past fortnight . The Prince of Kung acts for China in matters political, and every thing he has hithert o sa id or d one i n re l at i on to ourselves shows him desirous to take circumstances as they were arrested at the end of the late cam paign, and make the very best of them that he can. It is somewhat to be feared that the Emperor and his anti-foreign advisers are sadly dispirited, and cannot muster courage to return to the capital. There is every reason to believe that the presence of a foreign army under the walls of Pekin was never contemplated by the Emperor of China even as a remote possibility, and the blow we have inflicted upon his pride, in thus cruelly and clearly exposing his long•eherished self-delusion, has proved so sick- PRICE 41) . STAMPED, 51) MR. COBDEN Al' ROCHDALE. ROCHDALE, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. This evening Mr. Cobden, M.P., addressed his constituents in the large room of the new mill of Messrs. Kelsall and Kemp, situate in Baillie-street. The hon. gentleman was accompanied by Mr. G. Wilson and some other gentlemen from Manches ter. On entering the carriage of the mayor at Rochdale station the crowd collected there attempted to take the horses out, that men might draw the carriage, and they only refrained from carrying their intention into effect at the urgent request of Mr. Cobden himself. Over the meeting Mr. J. H. Moore, the mayor, presided; and on the platform were Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. Bazley, M.P., Messrs. George Wilson, Henry Ashworth, J. Platt, the French Consul at Manchester, &c. The room was densely crowded. About 4,000 people were present. Mr. Cobden and those who accom panied him were loudly cheered on entering the room, the cheering being again and again repeated. The CHAIRMAN briefly introduced Mr. Cobden to the meeting. Mr. COBDEN'S rising was the signal for loud cheering. After it had Subsided, the hon. gentle men, after a few preliminary observations, said he had no account of his labours in Parliament to give them, as for the last eighteen months he had, while honoured with the confidence of his Sovereign and country, been seeking to form arrangements which would unite the countries of France and England in bonds of unity and peace. The French had not taken any steps until jusf now to liberate commerce, but it had only taken that Government two years to do that which took us thirty. Everything had been done in that country which could be done under the circumstances, but still much remained to be done, and that he believed would be done shortly. The French were the most democratic nation under the sun, and whilst they were constantly producing things for the rich, aristocratic England was nearly on the other hand entirely engaged in producing articles for the consumption of the masses. He, therefore, urged that the treaty would be reciprocal. The people of England during the existence of the corn laws ate annually six million quarters of corn less than after the cora laws were abrogated. lust so would it be with the ill-clad people of France ; they would, by means of this treaty, be better clothed. He looked upon this treaty with France as the final stone of the pillar of free trade. The honour was not due by him, but to the present Go. vernment and their great Chancellor of the Ex chequer. (Applause.) He then went on to speak of the advantages of drinking French wines instead of port and sherry, and said that since the treaty had been made a friend of his had looked over the drink ing songs of England, and he found that in a past ago they were nearly all in honour of French wines, but the drinking songs were now no longer so. His friend accounted for it in this way, that when the people drank the French wines they be , came merry, while when they drank port and sherry instead they grew stupid and went to sleep. (Laughter and applause.) He was not so sanguine as to the effect of this treaty as to suppose that • a great trade would spring up at once, but he was sure that our social and political relations with that country would, and must be firmer and more trust worthy. He repudiated the idea that France was contemplating an attack upon England, and they ought to pause before they believed the assertions of not over-wise admirals on the subject. He was glad to say that Rochdale was the only town in England that in public meeting assembled had refused to establish a volunteer corps. He was in France at the time, and he believed from what he there saw that the people of Rochdale were quite right. He had been led to form this opinion from what he personally knew of the feeling of France towards Enghind. (Applause.) He firmly believed when the volunteer rage was going on in England as now, that the French nation never contemplated invading this country. As to the naval armaments of the two nations, he made an estimate that spring, and including the ten years preceding 1858 this country had, despite all the outcry of the people of England as to the navy of France, spent half as much more than that country did. There had always been a sort of tacit understanding between the two countries that England should have a navy about double that of France. The fact was, that while England had spent on her navy half as much again as France, she had had an advantage over that country of 20 per cent. She could build her engines at 30 per cent. less, while her coals and stores each cost her 20 per cent. less. What was the reason of all this expenditure, then ? Why it was through the invasion panic and the admirable mismanage ment of the Admiralty. His friend Lord C. Paget, when speaking in Parliament in the spring of 1859 on the mismanagement of the Admiralty (Lord C. Paget being then out of office, they must remember), stated that he had gone very carefully through the expenditure of the Admiralty during the preceding ten years, and he had discovered that £5,000,000 sterling had been spent in that period on ships of war which were unaccounted for. Now neither he nor Lord C. Paget meant to say that the Admiralty had absolutely pocketed the money—they were too honest to do such a thing as that—but that they were unable to keep clear accounts, and had spent that sum in making things which were positively useless. In 1850 it was seen that the application of steam to ships of war was necessary, and that such ships would supersede all the old sailing line-of-battle ships. Well, what did France do ? Why, she at once began to apply steam to the new vessels she was building, and the old she had built, but this example was only in part fol lowed by England. She knew as well as France the advantage of applying steam to her ships, but our Admiralty still continued to build sailing vessels after the plan of old, and thus money was foolishly and uselessly wasted. Hie then came to speak of five years later, which included the Crimean war. A few vessels had then been covered with iron plates, and the French Government seeing the ad vantage of them built two iron•cased ships, one of which was called La Gloire, but our Admiralty asitnceenhad constantly been amusing themselves Shoeburyness by getting Mr. Whitworth and Sir Wm. Armstrong to make cannon which would send shot through iron•plated ships. The people out of doors only could correct this state of things. The idea which had been palmed off upon the public, that the French were building vessels to invade this country, was ridiculous, and he ventured, upon his conscience, to assert that no greater delusion than that had been palmed upon a people since the days of Titus Oates. Mr. Cobden then alluded to the mismanagement of the Board of Publi quoted a speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone c Works,obn and th d e management of the British Muse um, in su p port of his denouncement of the manag ement of that boar the te ti r m ig e e h m e wevaesmneengtotiiantint this the s . country trea t y w with ae During France, h speeches igcarried s hth e e ef gtrheeasteestmvezegtei meetings were The n on w delivered at t some of semtheersmetoeshtririeriftaartming er, kind. on' hein A g t ae o h n e e d, o e f up th p e o m eing a the French were to invade England, what he would charge them for his corn, replied that it would only be bought at the price of their blood. He did not believe—and he had as good an opportunity of judging as any man—that the French nation ever contemplated invading this country. If he had ever believed it—if he had seen that France was creating a navy equal to ours—he should have been a traitor to his Queen and country if he had not denounced it with all his might. without Before France should have a navy equal to our s , t reasons it for having such, which she had not now, he would vote 100 millions sterling for the defence of our country. After giving the statistics of the men and boys in each navy, and other facts con nected therewith, the honourable gentleman went on to speak of what he called the most lament able, the most deplorable civil strife which was - HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The offensive emanations from the gullet'-holes in the Strand and other principal streets may assuredly be diminished by the use of M'Dougall's, Condy's, or some other efficacious disinfectants in houses and streets. Zymotic diseases were fatal in 257 cases, the cor rected average for corresponding weeks being 277. Small-pox was recorded in only two cases, measles in 23, scarlatina in 24, diphtheria in 12, whooping cough in 78, which last-mentioned complaint is still by far the most prevalent disease in this class, whilst it also considerably exceeds its usual mortality in the third week of June.
