STAMPED sd. —not as an habitual professiou, but as a citizen's duty, whenever the signs of the time warn him that he may have to defend his own hearth from a fo reign invader. Thus have sprung up our Volun teers,—not mere raw, undisciplined, unskilful pre tenders, like the old city Train Bands ridiculed in our popular farces, but patiently learning the use of their weapons ; so that a wasp could not more safely enter a beehive than an invader could brave all the stings in the rifles of England. And here let me pause to de justice to our noble Hertford shire countryman, Lord Cowper. Superior to e3l those allurements which not unnaturally incline-a young man of his rank and wealth to look upon life as a child looks upon a holiday, when, while other folks are at work all around him, he has nothing to do but to play, this true representative of the manly, patriotic English aristocracy has devoted himself heart and soul to show that this shire of Hertford is not more fertile of barley than it is fertile of men—men who can defend the soil that they till and the harvests they reap. But England has done more than defend her shores. Her moral influence has been felt in every step that has ad vanced the condition of the world. It was my task when in - office, conjointly with Lord Malmesbury-- thcugh to him belongs the far greater share of the merit—to aid and to stimulate France in what to her was a difficult experiment, the substitute of free labour f or negro slavery i n her co l on i a l pos sessions. Her e , w h at encouraged F rance ? I t was the exampl e o f England. We have not assisted Italy with our arms, i t i s true , b u t then we have not asked from Italy the cession of Savoy elhd Nice. And, if the Government of Sar dinia should preserve the courage to refuse further concessions of Italian territory, what can so main tain their resolution as the earnest dignity with which England has already protested against the terrible doctrine that the recognised boundaries of European kingdoms are to be altered by secret compacts and family arrangements? We have morally opposed ourselves to the domination of Austria in her old Italian possessions. But when Austria, dismayed et her own feebleness under despotic forms of Government, seeks to invigorate her system by constitutional changes, she looks neither to Russia nor to France for a model. She looks to England, and the Constitution she gives is copied from our own. Thus, wherever we look, not the arms but the example of England has advanced the condition of the world. Nor have we arrested even the progress of an empire which, as its object is commerce and not conquest, may possibly be more durable than the empires to which I have before referred. While France was premeditating the petty acquisition of Savoy and Nice, which will cost her treasury more than they can ever give to her commerce, we have been laying the foundations of a new- and mighty colony, which every year will more and more enrich our trade by the wants of its spreading population, and maintain the rewards of our agriculture by the influx of gold from the richest mines which have yet been discovered. Pardon me if I speak of the colony, it was my duty to advise my Sovereign to found, with the assent and the aid of my colleagues in office—l mean British Columbia. That colony, with its neighbour Van couver, taken from the Hudson's Bay Company, gives to England her only possession on the Pacific Ocean. But that possession is the key to the Pacific, and had I still been in office, long be fore this, I venture to think, one line of British settlements would have sprang up to connect the Pacific with the Atlantic. Quietly, inoffensively, with no alarm to Europe, no threat to the civilized laws of nations, England has thus annexed from the wilderness—annexed to her Crown—a country larger than England itself, and which before a quarter of a century is over will add millions to our national industry in support of the profits of agri culture, the wages of labour, and the interchange of commerce. lam not out of place in thus allud ing. to that act in my own special administration of which I am most proud, for it was the choice of the electors of Hertfordshire that sanctioned my ap pointment as a Minister of the Crown ; and if in future generations my name should be remembered in connexion with the commencement of a colony, destined, I believe, to be the wealthiest of all that now speak our language, it will be as the represen tative of this county of Hertford, with which I identify every public honour that I can achieve by labour, and to which I gratefully acknowledge every obligation that man can owe to those who exaggerate his merits and are lenient to his faults. I detain you too long. I :now hasten to a close. Some among you may say, " This is an agricultural meeting; why does not our member confine himself to agricultural topics ?" My answer is short. Simply because every man here can speak on those subjects better than m 3 self. But when you drink my health as one of your members, you remind me that I am sent to Parliament, not as the represen= tative of shorthorns and long-horns, of turnips and wheat ; I am the representative of thoughtful and intelligent men, who expect me when I meet them to speak of things - which a legislator is supposed to study, mindful only of the one con dition, which I hope-I have not infringed, that he does not introduce the acerbities of party into a convivial meeting. But a special object of these- festivities is, after all, to bring us together to unite tenant and landlord, to promote frank discussion, and cement kindly intercourse. And for this reason I am here to-day, altering the plans I had formed for the autumn, in order that I might come among you—not to volunteer lectures on farming to practical farmers, but to hear with re spect all that farmers can say on that subject to me. I am here as the representative of your interests and opinions in Parliament, to thank you with sincere and earnest gratitude for the indulgence you all, on both sides of party, showed to me when my strength broke down in my efforts to discharge to the utmost the duties which I owed to my Sove reign and to you ; and to assure you that now, in recovering my health, .my remembrance of your kindness will make me still more anxious , to merit your, trust as long as I remain in your service. The CriAinmAN (Mr. Puller) also returned thanks. He alluded tp the scanty legislative measures passed last session, and said, with reference to reform, that improvements had been going on so fast since 1830 that no wonder the desire for further alteration should beconie exhausted at last, and perhaps it was as well that it should. He did not agree with Sir E. B. Lytton that it was desirable the United States should be split up into three or, four republics, and instanced the South American Republics as an in stance of what might ensue if the present North; American RepubliC baciame divided. Mr. SMITH, who was received with enthusiastic cheering, after some introductory observations, said he looked with hope on the future, seeing the excel lent harvest, and if there .was any deficiency in the yield he believed it would be made up by the quality. He expressed the gratification he felt at the establishment of constitutional government in Austria and Italy, and his sincere regret at the unfortunate civil war in America. ,He was sure he would find an echo in their hearts, when he ventured to express his harvest time to Almighty God for the good im they had just had. Science cou ld d o much ; i t could give them reaping and sowing, and plough ing and other machines, but it could not give them the genial and refreshing shower, it could not make the corn grow, it could not ripen it; and this year there was .no likelihood of any interruption to the prevailing peace; and for all these things they had much to be grateful. He again cordially thanked them for the honour they had done him. (Cheers.) Mr. SURTEES proposed "The Health of the Chairman." The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the honour done him, said those occasions were very agreeable, not only as they brought landlords and tenants and friends together, but they gave young aspi rants to the House of Commons an opportunity of ~~ Z Find Peeing if they could Lnd something sensible to ,he old stagers a chance of m great public co, s!iops on which therbOiored rr them.

" _ EXTRAO RDINAR I' CAST:. (From the Birmingham _Daily p os t ) The magistrates sitting at Burstein pollee -court on Tuesday (MeArs. T. B. Rose, W.Brownfield, and G. Alcock) were occupied for a oonsiderabto time in the investigation of an extraordina r y c h ar , E , of riot, preferred against eight men—Robert of Mow Cop ; Thomas Hales, of Mow Cop ; Geor ge Machin, of Biddulph ; John Hall, of Mow Cop; Thomas Hales, of Longton ; Thomas Hales, o f Wolverhampton ; Richard Creswell, of Mow Cop ; and Joseph Hales, of Mow Cop. Mr. Heaton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Stevenson for the defence. The case excited considerable ,- public interest, and during the inquiry the court was crowded. The facts of the case for the prosecution, as ad duced in evidence, may be thus briefly stated. On the morning of the 9th of September the family of Mr. Oldacre, a retired solicitor, residing at Norton Green Hall, a mile or two from Burslem, Stafford shire, were surprised by receiving a visit from nine or ten men, whose object wasevidently not a friendly on Among these men were the prisoners, with the exception of Hall and Hales, of Wolverhamp ton. They demanded possession of the hall, and Mr. Oldacre, who is an old gentleman, and who was dressing when he heard of the strange claim on his - property, came down stairs and asked the intruders 0 the object of their visit. Hall, of Longton, said they had come to take possession of the hall. Mr. Oldacre asked, " How do you make out your claim ?" A man named Harding, not pre sent, thereupon produced a paper, which he said was a copy of the will of Ann Meir, a former pro— prietor of the hall. Thomas Hales, of Longton„ then said that he claimed the property as heir-at- . law of Alfred Hales, and he afterwards said he • claimed it by an assignment of Thomas Hales, of Wolverhampton, who - was the real heir of Alfred Hales. Mr. Oldacre told them they had no claim ( whatever ; if they had they should go to a lawyer and take proceedings in the regular way. They replied they had come to take possession, and they would have possession. Mr. Oldacre replied that . 4 1 they had no claim, and requested them to leave the house, but they refused. Thomas Hales, of Mow Cop, and Richard Hales had got hold of the keys t of two entrance doors of the hall, and refused to give them up. The two parish constables of Nor ton presently came to the hall, and the men still refusing to give up the keys, they were taken away from Thomas Hales, of Mow Cop, who had got both, and who struggled violently to retain. possession of them. He also tried to hide one of the' keys inside his trousers. The men were then put out, all but two or three who had previously gone when requested. On the following morning the .- prisoners returned to the hall with nearly 100 men, and on their approach all the doors and other en trances to the house were secured. Mr. Oldrace went out to meet them, although very much alarmed, ' and expostulated with them, begging them to act - like Englishmen, 'and not do . what Englishmen should be ashamed to do. They again said they had •. come to take possession of the property ; and Thos. Hales of Longton, introduced Thos. Hales of Wol verhampton, as the real heir of Alfred Hales, a for— mer owner, and said that he held an assignment of the property executed by the heir. Thos. Hales, of Longton, in reply to Mr. Oldacre's further remon strance, told him they were not come there to be talked to, but to take possession of the hall, and possession they would have. Mr. Oldacre forbade them to approach the house, whereupon Thomas Hales, of Longton, called upon the others to burst open the door, and after a moment's hesitation the whole body made a rush at the kitchen eoor, and kicked it violently. The prisoners were ringleaders in the attack. Not succeeding in opening the door with kicking and pushing, they got a heavy piece of wood, and with that forced it open, following the accomplishment of the feat by a loud cheer. 'They entered the back kitchen, and made for the inside kitchen door, a very strong old-fashioned oak and nailed door, and after battering it for a considerable time, they broke it in two or three places, and then knocked it down. This exploit was also followed by a cheer. A great party rushed into the house, and whilst a portion made for the apartments, and seized all the furniture they could lay their hands on, and brought it to the door, the other portion took it and deposited. it in the yard. Mr. Oldacre struggled and got into the house to protect it as well as he could from the spoliation which was going on; but Hall, who was stationed at the door to prevent those oustide from going in, and those inside from going out, pushed him back and struck him, and immediately another man struck him—he believed Joseph Hales. At last Mr. Oldacre got inside and went into his study, where he found Cress well endeavouring to prevent his daughter opening the window to let in some neighbours, who had come to his assistance. Ulti mately, after some trouble, a large number of neigh bours got in, and the assailants were ejected. Be sides the damage done to the doors, the study window was broken, and other injuries effected. In cross-examination Mr. Oldacre said that in 1859 he received notice from Thomas Hales, of Longton, that he claimed the hall, and that he should take proceedings to recover it. Mr. Webb. Ward was the attorney who served the notice. Mr_ Oldacre entered an appearance, but he had heard nothing of the claim since. He had told Hales that; if he wanted to prosecute the claim he would giv i • ct him £lOO to do it, on condition that if he did not succeed the £lOO should be returned. Mr. 0 1 .dacm denied that 100 or 200 " roughs" of Norton came to his assistance armed with bludgeons, or that he had concerted to have.a mob present. There were perhaps 50 persons there, and some others were from the foundries, but all came voluntarily to give-him what assistance they could, and no per sonal violence was used. Hannah Mayer, beerseller, Norton-green, •said--t- On Sept. 19 Robert Hales, Thomas Hales, of Long ton, and Thomas Hares, of Mow Cop, ean3.B to her house and had some ale. While there, Thomas Hales, of Mow Cop, said they , had been put. out that day, but they were going to bring a large army the next day, and they would get possession, or else take off the roof. She went to the hall the next morning, while the crowd were in the back yard. She was knocked down and kicked on the hip by Thomas - Hales, of Longton. Mr. Olditete was pushed about a great deal. Samuel Turner, a farmer, and one of the parisk constables of Norton, deposed to going to the hall, and seeing the crowd break open the doors and hall, and strike Mr. Oldacre on the breast. When the mob. went into the house and began to remove the -furniture witness went for assist ance, and brought back a number of persons, whom he charged in "the Queen's name to help to put down the riot. A party got in. through Abe windows, and another party advanced upon• the mob from the front, and thedafter 's ome. trouble the in truderswas- lashed fearfully wererfllyand he the about a turned by t he out.

A locomotive engine/ No. 84, was standing at this station, having attached to it a train of laden coal-waggons for the Tyne dock. John Smith, the enginerean, Wm. Hunter, the fireman, and Joh n Leatham, the guard to the train, had been standing upon the tender of the engine talking some time, when Latham went forward to the buffer ends.

The exhibi bition of stock, roots, and implements was held in a field north of and closely adjoining the town. There was not a large show of stock, but the cattle and sheep were very good, and there was evidently a dis position to try the long-wooled sheep in Hertford. shire, the Downs having hitherto had almost exclu sive preference. The show of horses and pigs was hut first-rate. Mr. Perkins and Mr. Galward exhi bited implements, and Mr. Dorrington a goodly show of mangold, swedes, turnips, and other roots. The dinner was held in the Corn Exchange at 4 o'clock; Mr. C. W. Giles Puller presided, supported by the Right Hon. Sir E. B. Lytton, M.P., and Mr. H. Surtees. On the left were Mr. Abel Smith, M.P., and the Rev. E. Prodgers, jun. ; Mr. Robt. Dimsdale, was Vice-Chairman. After dinner the Chairman proposed the usual loyal toasts ; also " the Army and Navy and Rifle Volunteers." The Vice Chairman proposed "the bishop and clergy of the diocess," and paid a well merited compliment to the Bishop of Rochester. The toast having been duly hououred, it was acknowledged by the Rev. E. Prodgers. - Sir E. B. LYTTON then saidJl have been re quested to propose the next toast ; it is " The Health of the Lord Lieutenant of the County." It is with sincere pleasure and pride I speak of my friendship for Lord Verulam. lam proud because it allows me an opportunity to observe that one of the greatest noblemen in the ranks of society in this country had to commence his connection with pub lic life as a servant of the public. It was as a mem ber for this county that Lord Verulam learned those duties to his Sovereign and to the country which he now so ably discharges, and I am sure his lord ship is entitled to all the honours that we can pay him, and therefore I now propose " The Health of the first magistrate of the county, your Lord Lieuten an t." _ _ The toast having been drunk, Mr. JAMES SMYTH, of Bygrave, the principal tenant farmer of the county, proposed " the health of the county members," and said he hoped when they returned to Parliament they would not forget the malt tax. _ Sir E. B. LYTTON—Gentlemen,—l thank you for the honour you have done to my colleagues and me. It is not the least agreeable feature of these meetings that all the differences of political party are sus pended, and that you can thus combine in one good wish those who represent both the great sections of opinion in this county, and who sit on oppoSite benches in the House of Commons. And having thanked you on behalf of my colleagues—to whose diligent and able performance of their Parliamen tary duties I can bear a cordial testimony—l may the more gratefully thank you for myself, because my share of that good health which you so kindly wished to us all three has been disproportionately email, b 0 that I have had to rely upon your indul gence. I thank you from my heart that the indul gence has not failed me. lam sure that my many friends around me will be pleased to hear that the comparative rest which I have thus been enabled to take has sufficed to restore my strength. Gentlemen, since I last addressed you in our annual meetings great changes have passed over the Old World and the Newt Let me entreat your permission to speak of those changes. I can do so without provoking any differences of opinion ; and whatever affects the civilised races, from the other side of the channel to the shores of the Atlantic, must have an in terest for England; and whatever interests Eng land must interest not the least those who invest their capital in its soil, and whom all the inte rests of industry attach to the safety and welfare of the land. Great changes have come over Eu rope. When I last met you hero what was Italy ? —a discordant variety of petty States, in which the friends of order were the puppets of Austria, and in which the friends of liberty seemed wild conspirators who could use no other weapon against tyrants but the dagger of the miserable assassin. Now, what is Italy ? A great nation, a constitu tional monarchy ; the tryant is gone, and let us hope that the assassin is disarmed. Like the en chanted princess in the old story books, who was thrown into a death-like slumber till the walls that confined her fell down before the trumpet of her destined deliverer, Italy has risen out from the sleep of ages restored to the bloom, but exposed also to the passions and struggles of youth. Heaven guard and Heaven bless her ! It is for the interest of England that , Italy should enter into the great community of constitutional nations. Foreigners misunderstood the fo , eign policy of England. I will endeavour to explain what it is. England is a free nation, and its statesmen must consult pLpu lar opinion ; the popular opinion of a free State goes with the free. England is a commercial and a manufacturing nation. It is the interest of Eng land that good government, with the elements of progressive prosperity, should be established every where, because it is only in good governments that the interchange of her commerce is secure, and in proportion as the foreigner prospers the probability is that he will widen the market for our English manufactures. We have no interest in tyrannies, where all progress is arrested. We have no interest in revolutions, where all property is insecure. But we have an interest in the rise and progress of every people who adopt that temperate form of con stitutional freedom which our own experience has proved to be the best for the development of hu man energies; and if to that good feeling we must seek a selfish motive, it is because every people so rising would naturally become our ally through the sympathy of freedom, and our customers through that commercial prosperity which is the usual result of political freedom. In these few words, if foreigners would condescend to reflect, they would find the true key to the foreign policy of England. We have an interest in the regenera tion of Italy. We have also an interest, certainly not less, in the success of that great experiment in which Austria has passed from the haughty repre sentative of hereditary despotism to the ranks —still, unhappily, few—of constitutional monar chies. No politician worthy the name of states man, no educated man, who will cast his eye over the friap of Europe, but what must acknowledge the immense importance to freedom and to Eng land of establishing, midway between Russia and France, midway between the two great military and absolute empires of Europe, a constitßtiona monarchy of immense resources both in territory and in population ; resources that have utterly failed to Austria while her Government was despo tic, but which may develope, as our resources have developed, under a system precisely analogous to our ste own. and r sa criticisedd representatives King, i u s Lords, afety a by y iand responsiblef rComm ons,eepr e os t : w s the u i c t h h Miopeople,the Constitution of England; such is now the Consti tution of Austria. But whatever interest we may have in the prosperity and freedom of other na tions is seldom an interest that admits of armed in terference. Some of us may doubt whether Sar dinia has been either prudent or honourable in her annexation of Naples. Some of .us may doubt whether Hungary or Austria he right in the dispute between them; but no Englishman of common sense can doubt that these are questions which Italy and Austria should settle for themselves. And when I said that I could touch upon these questions without provoking party differences, it is because on the grand principle that we should refrain from armed intervention, except where the direct and immediate safety and honour of Great Britain are concerned—both the great parties in the country are agreed. On this my Lord Russell can offer his generous compliment to his predecessor the Earl of Malmesbury, of whom you will permit me to say thus much, that to that comprehensiveness and liberality ofjadgmeat which generally comes from a wide knowledge of mankind and of the world. Lord Malmesbury unites that manly frankness hich is the attribute of moral courage and un deviating hononr. And as Lord Russell has paid a just tribute to my esteemed colleague in the late Cabinet, so I in turn can say with sincere pleasure, that on the whole—without approving every word in every despatch—but on the whole, in a time of great and anxious difficulty, Lord Russell had, in my humble judgment, wisely maintained the interests, fearlessly upheld the honour, and faith fully represented the general opinion of the British nation. But, gentlemen, it is not in the Old World alone that great changes have passed since I last addressed you. Many of you will remember that when I took the chair, now so ably filled, at our meeting in this town, there came with me, as my guest and as yours, Mr. Dallas, the distinguished diplomatic minister of the then United States of America. You will remember the enthusiasm with which he was deservedly greeted, and the applause that followed every affectionate allusion to our Re publican kinsfolk, with whom nevertheless there was at that moment, as there has been often before, one of those irritating questions in which much was sternly asked by young Brother Jonathan and mildly conceded by old John Bull. Well, we Englishmen respected the giant Republic in its apparent unity and its fancied strength, and no true Englishman will be mean enough to exult in the pangs of its separation and the horrors of its civil war. But even then, when Mr. Dallas was our guest, I never conceived, nor do I understand how any far-thinking statesman could conceive, that a fourth part of the earth could long be held under one imperial form of government. That separation between North and South America which is now being brought about by civil war I have long fore seen and foretold to be inevitable ; and I venture to predict that the younger men here present will live to see not two, but at least four, and probably more than four separate and sovereign commonwealths arising out of those populations which a year ago united their Legislature under one President and carried their merchandise under a single flag. And so far from thinking that these separa tions will be injurious to the future des- tinies of America, -or inflict a blow on that grand principle of self-government in which the substance of liberty consists, I believe that such separations will be attended with happy results to the safety of Europe and the development of Ame rican civilisation. If it could have been possible that, as population and wealth increased all the vast continent of America, with her mighty sea board and the fleets which her . increasing ambition as well as her extending commerce would have formed and armed, could have remained under one form of government, in which the Executive has little or no control over a populace exceedingly ad venturous and excitable, why then America would have hung over Europe like a gathering and de structive thunderchiud. No single kingdom in Europe could have been strong enough to maintain against a nation that had once consolidated the gigantic resources of a quarter of the globe. And this unwieldy extent of empire would have been as fatal to the permanent safety and development of America herself as the experiment of all history tells us an empire too vast to maintain the healthy circulation of its own lifeblood Oer has been, since the world began, to the races over which it. spread. By their own weight the old colossal empires of the East fell to ruin. It was by her OWT) vast extent of dominion that Rome lost her liberties, under the very armies which the extent of dominion compelled her to maintain, and finally rendered up her domi nion itself to the revenge of the barbarians she had invaded. The immense monarchy founded by the genius of Charlemagne fell to pieces soon after his death, and those pieces are now the kingdoms of Europe. But neither the empires of the East, nor the common wealth of Rome, nor the monarchy of Charlemagne could compare in extent and resources with the continent of America—and you will re member that the United States claimed a right to ;he whole of that continent and the ultimate fate of America under onefeeble Executive—the feeblest Executive perhaps ever known in a civilised com munity—would have been no exception to the truths of history and the laws of nature. But in proportion as America shall become subdivided into different States, each of which is large enough for greatness—larger than an European kingdom —her ambition will be less formidable to the rest of the world, and I do not doubt that the action of emulation and rivalry between one free State and another, speaking the same language and enjoying that educated culture which inspires an affection for all that enlightens and exhalts humanity will produce the same effects upon art and com merce, and the improvements in practical govern ment which the same kind of eompetition produced in the old commonwealths of Greece. Heaven grant that my convictions may not be erroneous. I am not then, one of those who say that the impending sepa ration of the American States proves the failure of her experiment of Democracy. Any other form of Government would have equally failed in keeping together sections of a community so geographically cast, with interests so antagonistic to each other. But this I may say, that when we see liberty and law alike suspended in the moment of danger, print ing presses destroyed by an unresisted mob, or the opinions of public writers stifled by a Democratic Government—when we see an American President so bewildered by his own armies, or so despairing of the skill of his own generals that he offers to the Italian Garibaldi the command of American pa triots—l think, without vanity, we- may say that those acts of good government which -can pre serve freedom in the hour of danger, and enable a nation to right itself by the brains and the hearts of its own children, America has more to learn from England than England to learn from America. Let us, then, turn oureyes back b our own country humbly grateful for the blessings we enjoy, and manfully resolved to defend and maintain them. While our august but inscrutable ally stands armed to the teeth, with one hand so resting on the gates of war that they open or close at his touch, Eng land has not been unmindful of her safety, but has not departed from her wise constitutional abhor rence of vast and costly armaments in a time of peace. She has, indeed, strengthened her navy, and I do not doubt that the present Government has in this worthily maintained the same policy of pre caution which occupied the unceasing and anxious care of the Government of Lord Derby. But there is this distinction between a navy and an ar my. An navy never can threaten the liberties it is intended to guard. For our military defence we have raised, without cost, without danger to constitutional principle, a force Which is not aggres. s ive against other countries, but which quietly proves our determination to defend our own. Re lying on the loyalty of its subjects, the Crown of England encourages the use and discipline of arms 4 , BETTING AT MANCHESTER-YESTERDAY. To-day there was not much doing on any future event.
