In such a case the eater is entitled to demand of the Legislature a remedy, and that remedy is vote by ballot. (Hear.) There are other questions of importance which must press on the attention of the Legislature of this country. One of those questions is our foreign rela tions, or, as they are familiarly called, continental poli tico. That question must occupy the attention of the Legislature in the coming session. The horizon in that quarter is dark and lowering. The alliance with France is, I believe, cordial and sincere; upon our pa r t it i s . Let us hope that that sincerity is mutua l . I b elieve that the alliance with England is essential to the Em peror's throne ; that with him it is a political necessity. As a Liberal, I may net approve of t h e manner in which the sceptre came to his hand. Like Augustus, he seized the Crown, and amused his people with the shadow of liberty. I should prefer to see in France re presentative institutions and a freedom of the press. But the question is their own. If a nation so civilised and so susceptible are satisfied with their present form of Government, England has no right to complain. (Hear.) We have an institution we value dearly, which we now view as our birthright and inheritance; I mean the free dem of the press. (Cheere.) The Emperor of France believes it to be dangerous to his crown. We know that it adds stability to ours, and much as I value the alliance with our neighbour—great as its advantages are to England and to her commerce—l, taking a less selfish view, say if this alternative is to be presented—whether a rupture of that alliance, or our press is to be sub ject to the dictation of the Ilioniteur, the Siecle, or the ..Coustetutionne/—thatemen is a traitor to his ociuntry7llo could not prefer the former. If the Metes, the Daily News, and the Advertiser are to be gagged, then I say, perish the alliance. (Cheers.) No absolute monarch has a right to dictate to the press of this coun ry. With respect to free trade, I can only say I shall ilways be prepared to advocate the views which the elec. tors of Hull have ever expressed. I have not had time to acquaint myself as I propose to do with your iocal inte rests, but as regards the repeal of the navigation laws, chicle permits competition between British and foreign sailors, I may say that neither the interests of the port .f Hull, nor any other port, appear to have suffered by hat measure. Where B•itish enterprise prevails th ere trill it succeed, as Lin Palmerston said. Free trade, , hat great measure of importance, introduced and car ried by Sir R. Peel, is now settled. I have attended here not to ask you to pledge yourselves to any definite line of conduct, hut merely to express my opinions, in order hat you may consider them at your leisure. If any gen tleenau present wishes to put any question to me, I shall ;feel great pleasure in answering it. We have in our iwn day seen very important measures carried. Civil iisabilities of Catholics have been rerrerr id, and the Test A.ct has been repealed. I believe that the people have emfideece in the Administration i,f Lerd Peimereton.

As regards Church reform I may refer to a phrase of Lord E'don's—" If you elect a beadle of a parish with ait administering to him the sacraments, you will shake be constitution of the Church." That is mere rank nonsense ; it is like shaking a tree full of apples ; you will only bring down the ro`ten fruit. Electors of Hull —you have soon, within comparatively a short period, religious intolerance and the civil disabilities of the Roman Catholics removed—you have seen the proudest and wealthiest aristocracy which the world evereaw give way to public opinion and concede the great principle of free trade—who yourselves have perhaps reaped advan tage from the repeal-of the Test and Corporation Acts, who have assisted, as the column in your town records, in the great cause of humanity, and struck the fetters from the slave—who have enjoyed the franchise con ferred by the Reform Bill—you must feel that the course , if legislation must be onward—not rash or reckless in novation, but steady, sound, social, and political ad vancement. (Cheers.) The franchise must be extended —the masses must be educated, All distinctions which interfere with civil rights on the ground of religious °pi alone must be removed and swept away. The govern ment of our vast empire in the East must be ameliorated. Our colonial dependencies must be administered in a more liberal and enlightened spirit—the vast increase in crime andlbe'reforMation of the criminal Must be deals with in a coMPietinsive and statesmadlike_manner—thu restrietions ou c,esenzuesedal enterpOse roost • iroy with—the revenu e s o f the .Enklish and 'arch must be fairly adjusted to the spiritual wants of the people. Measures such as these are not, I believe, dan gerous innovations, but are calculated to strengthen the security of property—to unite more closely the ties which bind the two great orders of society together—to attach the people to a lova of order, to Parliament and the Crown, and to render yet brighter and more glo rious the future and the destinies of this great empire.

The consequence veasthat officers were afrai t to take commands for fear of being abused by the Tinto. From the language of Lord Pal merston at Manchester and at the Guildhall it would appear that peace depended upon whether Russia kept her engagements or not. It was to be hoped she would. He had not altogether approved the peace, but be sup posed it was the best we could get at the time. He should very much have liked to make her pay the expenses of the war. We bad to act, h o wever, in concert with the French Government ; and, whets two Governments were acting t gether, there could not be as much unity as it .but one Power was concerned.

There were some people in Eogland who would be very glad a do the •:.btine thing if they could. It would very met simplify their work, and they would get their money much more easily ; and really Parliament now seemed o no use except to vote supplies. That was all they ap peared to be called together for. Legislatien seemed to b. brought to a deadlock, and unless some new arrangements were devised for the transaction of business it would be impossible to get on.

He found the fortifications stronger even, he confessed, than ho had believed teem to be when he was there with the fleet. Ie fact they were perfectly and entirely impregnable. The Grand Duke Constantine had granted bun an interview, and had shown him all his plans of defence, and, certainly, more judicious and more proper plans never were can ceived. He was a man of great talent and ability, and bad spoken to him in a perfectly honest, plain, straight forward way. His remark to me, said the gallant admiral, was, "If you had attempted to come in there would have been nearly 1,000 guns bearing on your fleet, there was nut water enough for your large ships, the channel was narrow, and it was so thickly filled with infernal machines that our own ships going in and out were afraid of being blown up." " Will you allow me," said I, "to speak plainly to you ?" Why did you not come out to meet ns at Kiel? We were then badly manned and badly dieic.plined. If you had come out I don't know what the cooseqUerioes might have been." " All," said the Grand Duke, "if I had bad screws I should have came out to meet you. I did not know that you were so badly manned until it was too late." And I think, added the gallant admiral, that it was luckily he didn't come. Nut that there was an Eng lishman there who would not have fought to the la,t drop rather than retreat ; but after all, ships without disciplined men are no better than fortifications without soldiers. People are fond of talking about the British navy being unconquerable ; but the British navy is men, cot ships. (Hear, hear) Tae gallant admiral then pro ceedsd to allude to the late correspondence between himself and Sir H. Peel. Teat, he said, was not yet cniciuded. He had written to Lo.d Palmerston, desir ing him to lay his case before the Cabinet, and not having received an answer to that letter he had written a second time, and until he had received an answer from the noble ;lord it would only be right in him to maintain a due reserve on the subject. He was not afraid of having his conduct inveetigated. He had demanded an investiga tion, and if the Government did sot grant it, it would .go far to prove that they wee afraid that something would come out which would prrjudiee them in public opinion. The gallant admiral then sat down amid loud sleets. . a i.a_: Mr Z. PEARSON begged to ask the learned gentleman what wrrt. his views regarding the repeal of the Sound dues and shipping tolls, which pressed heavily on the commerce of this country ? Mr. JAMES—I think the Sound dues mud greatly ins terfera :with the shipping it.te,rests of Hull, and I will give my best attention to the subject. I may bare repeat that I have cot yet well considered the questions affect-. mg your local interacts, which I shall be better prepared to answer when next I hare the honour of meeting you. In reply to other questions by electors, Mr. JANIS said he was opposed to the present system of promo• tion in the army, than which nothing c.hild be worse, a s advancement should be by merit, and not through inflaence.

The CHAIRMAN having introduced Mr. James to the electors ith a few appropriate remarks, Mr. JAMES, who on comin forward was received with loud cheers, said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen electors of tee borough of Kingston-upon-Hull, I have come amongst you as a perfect stranger, and as such you have given me a welcome. I do not come forward to oppose the interests of my friend Mr. Clay, for whom I had the honour of being counsul on the petition presented ag.tinst his return, and it would be ungrateful in me to appear before you as his opponent ' • but grave doubts exist as to his eligibility to be elected as your represen tative in the present Parliament, in consequence of his having been unseated on the petition presented against his return. I come amongst you independently, and the same as any other liberal candidate. if I believed Mr. Clay could sit as your representative, I would not for a moment jeopardise your interests. It would be a hard day for Hull if he were elected by your suffrages, and eras then unable to take his seat through a legal impe diment. I come here, therefore, rather than that the common foe—the Tory—should succeed. Rather than that the interests of this borough should be sacrificed, I put myself forward as a liberal candidate. (Hear, hear.) I am aware of the responsibility I have undertaken in coming here, and I am also aware of the objection which exists to having lawyers in Parliament, and properly so, in many cases. But if a lawyer attends to your interests, he is the beat qualified to advance them. I know the position you are placed in in consequence of the elevation of my friend Mr. Baron Watson to the bench. I bare carefully perused the blue book they turn on the Local Dees Bill, which your late representativ e advocated so ably . and so warmly. He has done mu c h to remove the prejudice which exists against members of should ought t be Parliament being lawyers, and in su y pp m or a t y o p f otandiserly a p p o - - peal to the electors to say whether be nos not discharged the trust imposed on him with honour and fidelity.

I n my judgment, nothing can be worse than the present system. For instance, a criminal who imposes on the credulity of the gaol chaplain obtains his ticket of leave, walks into a jeweller's shop, and murders the jeweller. (Considerable merriment was here caused, arising from the fact that the questioner was himself a jeweller who had recently been robbed by ticket-of-leave men.) _ With regard to secret diplomacy, Mr. JAMES re marked that there was no occasion for it, as when it was going on mischief was always brew ng. His opinion of the property and income tax was, that the less they had of it the better.

WEDNESD Y vieN ING NOVEMBER 12, 0 856 _ _ TILE AI" EMI PITS FO SOOT 11 TFARK 'LVD TBEIR CONSTIFITENTS. LORD ROBERT CECIL, A( P., ON NATIONAL EDUCATION. STAMFORD, Nov. 7. Last night our borough member, Lord R. Cecil, addressed a large audience in the lecture-room of the Mechanics' Insti tution in this town on the subject of "National Educa tion." His Lordship commenced as follows :—I cannot flatter myself that the subject which I am now about to submit to your consideration is a now one; but then I can console myself with the reflection that no subject that I could have selected would be new nowadays. This subject of national education is at least a practical one; it is one in which many who hear me are probably personally in terested ; it is one that within the last few years has at tracted more attention and has excited more political dis cussion than any other of purely domestic interest. Its history is indeed brief. It is almost entirely confined to a description of the educational controversy in the middle of which we now find ourselves. But its importance to all of us is enough to give it an interest. In an ago when national greatness depends not on numbers or on territory, but on intelligence, the development of intelligence is a duty the neglect of which will hazard our national position. In a day when thought, not force, is the ruler of mankind, and when iu domestic govern ment numbers are more powerful than wealth, it is of the most vital importance to the stability of our institutions that that thought should be sound and those numbers en lightened. But before I proceed I must apologise for the misuse of words. When I talk of the education of the people I am free to confess that I do not mean what I say. What I really mean is the instructionof the people. Though it seems a paradox to say so, schools and schoolmasters have really very little to do with the education of the young. To educate the young is really not so much to cultivate their intellects as it is to train their hearts, to mould their habits of feeling and of action in accordance with the pre cepts of religion. The culture of the memory and the red son, which is the work of the schoolmaster, is not educa tion ; it is mere instruction. And yet I must continue to call it education, iu spite of this apology ; foe the habit of thus misusing the word has become so inveterate with speakers and writers—it boasts such high official sanction -it has so einbe Idea itself into all our habits of thought, that I should only be making myself unintelligible if I affected a more accurate phraseology. Yet, I cannot but think the distinction involves more than a question of more verbal correctness ; it seems to me productive of most serious evil. It loads us to expect at the hands of our schoolmasters results which they cannot possibly produce, end to which they can only very partially contribute ; and then we decry, and perhaps abandon, our system, because it does not answer our unreasonable expectations. We call our school inetruction education, and then we expect from it that moral training and moral reuovation which only the real education can supply. But real education cannot be done on the school bench, under terror of the school caue, by help of school bedlee and black board If dose at all, it must be done elsewhere than at school. It must be the result of the influence which breathe mound the daily life in a well-ordered home ; of a mother's affec.donate care and tender vigilance ; of holy lessons instilled and fostered under the genial warmth of that soft religious sympathy which speaks, not in cate chisms, but from heart to heart; of that which teaches more than words can teach—the daily example of a parent's virtuous life. So far as these exist the child will have a real education, If this were general, we should indeed effect what we seek in vain from our school instruction— the extirpation of profligacy and crime. But how should we look for such results from the exercise of the school master's craft ? In his own sphere he can inculcate that intellectual knowledge of Christian truth which must be the basis of a hearty, living faith. He can dispel many a mist of prejudice and error which in other times—aye, and even in our own—has led men into foolish, suicidal crimes, such as riotous strikes in the manufacturing and machine burning in the rural districts. And ho can awaken a taste for that intellectual amusement which is the best defence against idleness, and, therefore, against vice, of which idleness is generally the forerunner. But, what right have we to expect of him that he should mould the habits or convert the heart ? What opportunities do we give him, what instruments do we put into his hands to fit him for so high and arduous a work? Ile sees a child five hours a day during five days in the week. He saes him not alone, but in a class. Of the personal intercourse from whichaloue practical influence springs ttiVe74017,5101,74 He speaks to him possibly a d o z en ti mes in th e coil Worths day, and his sole intercourse consists in dinning into his memory certain secular or religious lessons. But morality, contentment, temperance, piety, are not lessons that can be learnt by the heart. Undoubtedly, learning is a preparation for these virtues and a support to them when they are ac quired; but of itself it is utterly powerless to influence the conduct. If therefore, in the strenuous efforts we are mak ing, and are bound to make, to promote the spread of know ledge among the people, we imagine we have discovered a panacea fur making them good citizens and good Christians we shall find ourselves grievously mistaken. I believe that if we are to raise the social condition of those classes with whose degradation our country is so ceustaertly taunted, the secret is in the elevation of their homes. It, instead of the squalid misery by which au English labouring man is so often repelled from his home and almost driven to the put-house, we would substitute cheerfulness and comfort, more would be done to make him temperate and contented than by the best school instruction that could be given. Da not Lt me be understood for a moment to deny that intel lectual enlightenment will be a valuable agent iu social ele vation. On the benefits of religious knowledge it is needless t o descant; and secular knowledge, by the tastes with which it preoccupiesthemind, will'ue a streng, counterpoise to the attraction of the public house, while ie enlists the motives of anenlightened selhehuess on this side of iudustry and frugality. That knowledge will help much to purify all on whom it shines Ido not dispute. But in the present tone of public opinion there seems to nia a danger of think ing it will do all, and I fear that this deluAou has been Lot a little fostered by the pracdee oh giving to school teach ing the name of education. However, as I have s dd, since the world is pleased to call it so, I must submit, for the sake 01 clearness, to do the same. The noble lord then sketched the history of education iu this country. It, scarcely dates, he said, beyond the pretent century. The Sunday schools, indeed, reach back as far as 1762.

One i n every 7 a Stinday school. With respect to the education encouraged by the Privy Council, I believe it is generally admitted that, as a rule, inspected schools always stand higher in point of efficiency than any others around them. Strong in these results, the system has rapidly quality of the gained favour both with the Legislature and the Pl"' The public approbation is shown by the ilidtdasiq ntinaa her of schools which submit to the inspection, of which at first there was so much jealousy ; and the Legislature has an annual vote, which has risen gradually from 10, displayed its confidence by the more substantial token of 43 0,000/. But in a day when unanimity is so rate its to be esteemed rather as a sign of torpor than of life it would be unnatural if there were not considerable exception to be made to this general confidence. A.ccordingly, we find that 00)1. to several classes of theorists, some of them objecting from re ligious scruples, some of them bitten With German or Ame rican fancies, express their disapproval in no meeeured terms; and their indignation is not diminished by the fact that the Legislatur e has recehtly declined to listen to their coinplaints. After briefly a Iverting en, pTuant, to the importance of the self-instruetion furnished by mecha nics' institutes, rural libraries, and other kindred institu tions, his lordship returned to the educational controversy and to the attacks that are made upon the Privy Council system. Its assailants he divided into two classes —those who think it has done too little and those who think it has done too much. Those who think it has done too uch are the advocates of the pure voluntary system Theo her cq:.,nts of the existing systs-,1 v:::0 pi' '., 11, e, , on Pad II- , ts i 4 thent—bantely, th atoetes a rat have nothing i n common with d thes. et support schoolders of volun tarYism. On the contrary, their proposal arises from the conviction that , state aid is n o t carr i ed far enough! They are not satisfied with the present system. They see, they cannot but see, that education has increased with strange and unexampled rapidity under the protection of the Privy Council system. The force which propelled it ex ists still; the limits of its progress have not been reached. If the rate of its increase be maintained it will probably before the next , census carobs have pro vided for all who are now destitute of the means of P duca tion. But this is not enough for the theorists of whom I speak. They will be satisfied with no success that is not immediate. They tell us that s we have '2,0 0,000 out of 1 ,003,000 children uneducated, and they tan us with the comparison of what has been done for education in New o one s England, in Swit zer l an d , and is Prussia, in each of which t population is al school, while ote we s about haveu t enly i n e n ix of e in he Now, with reference to the first charge, my- answer is that it is not true. Tin • doubtedly there are still a fearful number of children who ought to be at school and are not. But that there are two millions of children who are not and never have been at school is not true. The figures in the census on which this assertion is founded prove nothing of the kind. They only indicate that there were 2,000,00) children between 5 and 15 who on the census day were net at school. A child may have been at school from 5 to 14, and be a very well edu cated child ; but if during his*lsth year the Registrar- General comes and finds that he has left the school down he goes among the 2,000,000 children whose uneducated con dition is a disgrace to the civilisation and Christianity of England. Well, then, they hold up America s ticad the con• tinent as our models, and tauntingly show us tr lrger proportion of children who in those countries receive the blessings of education. Now the returns on which the alleged superiority of Americais founded have been shown by minute calculations to be far too untrustworthy to be the groundwork of any comparison whatever. As to the continental states the case is simply this : —ln England we do not interfere with a parent's right to deal with his chil dren as he thinks proper; abroad the children are driven to school by' the police. Naturally enough, therefore, their schools fill better than ours. I will now invite your atten tion to the specific proposals with which the advocates of a school rate, diseontented with the present state of things, urge us to supersede it. The Privy Council has always rigorously adhered to the rule of dispensing its funds without favour, simply in proportion * to the efforts in b - half Of education which the applicant in each case should have made. Those who have made great exertions re ceive large aid ; those who have done little are helped little. Now, the three p tales who advocate a school rate, beaded by Sir J. Pakington, Lord J. Russell, and Mr. M. Gibson respectively, complain, and with some truth that this rule entirely overlooks poor districts where people can't help themselves, and stingy districts where they will not ; and therefore they say, `,` A.b m ion your present sys tem of only meeting private coirtrilretioes by proportional .;rants of your own. Come forwar las the e lucetors of the nation. Wherever a school languishes, raise it to efficiency by your grants; wherever there is no seheol build one ; an' do this irrespeetive of the private contributions you way receive." And, in order thoroughly to superintend thoonormeus taxation and theenormoue expenditure which su h a scheme weal bring about, they propose that the money should be raised by local rates and exp ert led bylocal committees. Now, Ido not deny that the evil of which they complain exists ; but I certainly do not believe that it is so serious, or at all events so permanent, as it has been represented to be. In some few cases urkdonbtedly there are places absolutely tee poor to support a school. In far more Cases the apathy of the proprietors and inhabitants prevents a school being set up. The latter will yield to time, to the growth of enlightenment, to the deepening conviction which is now spreading through all classes, that alike for happiness and for order, for the material great ness of the nation, and for the moral elevation of the indi vidual, it is indispensable that ignorance should be driven, in town and country alike, from the cottages of the poor. And the difficulty arising from the utter poverty of some districts may be met by special regulations wherever it is ascertained to exist. Be this as it may, these evils, what ever their intensity, are as nothing compared with the con fusion and the utter peril alike to religion and education which an abandonment of the Privy Council rates would involve. To desert that system is at once to bring our selves face to face with the religious difficulty —the great legislative problem of our day. As long as you only give to people in proportion as they help themselves un no danger of seeming Alb prefer one denomination to another. You follow a rigid, unbending rule, whose equity no one ! •carrtlT;;Trerrnad whose appliOation No cfne Mn mistake. The State does nofereate, the State does net.znanage a single school but it aids every one, whatever its ores4i.inx,repo x . .tion to th e zea l w hi c h its'promoters eviffezace kji, their con tributions. But the moment'if deserts this sati ground and proceeds to build schools, or to become the managers of schools, the insoluble question at once arises —to what sect shall those schools belong, and what form of religion shall they teach? Here it is that Sir J. Pakington, Lord J. Rus sell, and Mr. M. Gibson split off from each other. They are unanimous on the other points we have gone through —in opposing the Voluntaries, in decrying the Privy Coun cil sptese, in their advocacy of local school rates and school committees, but on the question of religion they cannot agree; and it is their irreconcileable differences on this point which will probably for a long time prevent the Le gislature from listening to their schemes. Sir J. Pakington proposes to meet the diffieulty by giving to the ratepayers themselves the right to decide by a majority the religion to which any new school built from public funds shell belong. Lord J. Russell, who is frightened by the example of the many American schools which have glided from liberality into irreligion, thinks to secure Christianity by simply in sisting that a certain amount of Scripture shall be daily read, and leaves the rest to the ratepalers to settle. And Mr. M. Gibson cuts the knot by excluding religion altogether. Re garding Lord J. Russell's and Sir J. Pakington's solution of the religious difficulty as practically the same, the noble speaker argued at some length against the advisability of leaving it to the ratepayers to choose the religion by the vote of a majority, remarking upon the unseemly contention which was sure to ensue, and expressing his belief that if Sir J. Pakington's measure weni to 'pus it would cause more irreligi o n and more derneralisetioa by tenfold than all the ignorance which it wee intended to remove; and he believe I that at lest religions men of all artiee in very de , peir would unite in a resolution to exclude this bone of discord—religious teaching alt rgether ; and so this compromise would sink down into becoming that very seen , lar system which it was intended to avert. Noticing, IleXr,, the arguments of the secularists, as enunciate I by Messrs. Bright, Cobden, and Milner Gibson, the noble lord sai 1 he was bound to admit this much, that if the theorists who cry out against the present admirable system should succeed in overthrowing it, sooner than accept any of the pernicious compromises' proposed by Sir J. Pakingtoa and Lord J. Russell —sooner than surrender for the Church of England the right of teaching her own creel, unmutilated and pure, wherever she teaches at all, he for one would vote for the secular system. He, however, must not be understood by this to say that he approved it, but only that it seemed to him less dangerous than a system of compromise. The evil of it lay in the fact that a real, pare, secular system, which should confine itself to theinculcationof secular knowledge, was an impossibility. If it did not teach religion it would teach infidelity. After dwelling upon and illustrating this point the noble lord concluded thus :—This is no question of speculation or theory. It is a practical one, which con cerns all who have money to give or influence to exert. The present system, and with it the question whether reli ognioonmsthes areallb roeutuamugohtusi,and in our schools, clamorousis n e r t e o f allnitsprtreiaple.r proportion to their number.

A recent decision of the Hous e o f tyketnithterdooufwcaanotfitoicinthaeatnCeddhurch establishment if we continue thefmereer overthrow Commons has caused them to abate their tone. That as sembly not ordinarily a very bigoted body on questions of religion—being called on by Lord John Russell to con sider some resolutions which embodied the views of the theorists who drew their educational inspirations from Germany, refused contemptuously, by a majority of 102, even to look at them. Since this vote it has become pretty gliparent that for tome few years, probably m a ts) the next census, the existing system will not be interfered with. for Now, therefore, those who supp or t it are on thei r t r i a l before the country.

A large meeting of the electors of the borough of Southwark was held last night at the Literary Institu tion, Borough-road. to hear from their members, Mr. A. Pellatt and Sir C. Napier, an account of their Conduct in Parliament during the last seszion. Mr. John Vicars occupied the chair. Mr. PELIJATT first addressed the meeting. He was glad to be able to congratulate his constituents on thr cessation of war and on the prosperity which bad ace rrn panied the return of peace. He had recently returned from a tour in the manufacturing di-tricte, and he was glad,to find that work was abundant there, wages liberal, and that capital was fairly remunerated. He would con gratulate the country, too, on the state of our foreign alliances. The French alliance was a new fact in Eng lish history, but we were such close neighbours, and the two nations had so much to learn tram each other, that it was to be hoped their alliance would be perpetual. With America our relations were now most satisfactory. With the internal relations of the United states we had nothing to do, nor had we any right to interfere in the settlement of the important questions which are now agitating tbe.commnnity there ;but we were so united in blood, in interests, and in associations that a quarrel be tween us would be one of the greatest calamities which could occur. Turkey was not naturally such a chose ally to us as America or Fiance, but we had, taken up her cause from a desire to protect her from oppression, and if a proper policy were pursued she might still become a aseful member of the body of European nations. It was to be hoped that everything would be done to reform her internal administration, otherwise there was no doubt but that she contained within herself elements which must lead to her ultimate decay. airing the last session there had been 120 public and 139 private acts passed in Parliament, hut none of them excited very great interest, except, perhaps, the Bishops' Bill and the Vice-President of the C runcil of Education &In Sir W. Clay's bill for the Abolition of Church Rates passed its second reading by 221 to 1 78, but it was not pressed. 11r. Berkeley's. annual motion on the ballot hail had his support, but it had met its usual fate. The great novelty o the session was Mr. Dieraeli's sp-ech at tie end of it, in wire he maintained that all the use ul measures whicsO had been hissed by the G )1/eminent were to he attributed to Conservative principles. (A. laugh.) One of the most important measures of the session was the Police Bill, which the Government suc ceeded in passing after considerable discussion. "Com ing events," it was said, "cart their shadows before," and the event of the session showed that the Irish Church was shaking to its fen:elation, and that the day was not far distant 'when it would cease to exist. Nut later ago than the 16th o: Oct. the rinics had written as follows :-- "But there can be no doubt that voluetarviern is ' waat we have adopted as a pr.ue , ple.

Private members, it was sod, had been much more fortunate in legislation than the Government l :et session. He himself had had the satis faction ot.passing three bills. Tito first was in relation to the law of crossed checks. Owing to a decis on of o •u of the ju Iges consiaerable confusion had been creased in the commercial world as to what was really the raw oil this subject, and he had accordingly introduced and passed a bill which laid down the rule that no crossed cheque should be payatee except through an account. He had also passed a bill regulating the registration of marriages. This was at first Intended to app y only to Dissenters' marriages, but in the course of its progress he had bsen obliged to extend it to all marriages, and he had the satisfaction of thinking that it had tended very considerably to improve the law on this subject. An other question which he had taken up was the Smoke Act. A bill came down from the Lords abolishing the exemptions contained in that act, and haviisg at Lord Palmerston's request taken charge of that bill in the Lower House, he had been successful enough to pass it through that house with the addition of amendments which greatly increased its scope. He bad also voted in favour of Mr. Gibson's Oath of Abjuration Bill, of Lord Goderich's motion for the examination of candidates for the civil services, and for, Mr. Spoonerhi motion against the Maynooth grant. The Limited Liability B:11 had had hie cordialsuppera ,and it would be found, he be 'tiered, too work ad vesitegepusly for the commercial coin manlty. The foreign policy of the country was at the present moment of great importance. Non-interference, he believed, to be the proper policy of this country. We ought not to interfere to force constitutions on na tions not fitted for them, nor on the other hand ought we to interfere to support foreign despots on their thrones against the will of their subjects. Among the social reforms they needed was a map registration of all estates, to be kept by a Government officer, and to be held as registration of titles, as in America. The ex penses of obtaining private acts of Parliament ought - to be very much reduced, and on all occasions lie had deemed it his duty to endeavour to remove the evil which at pre sent existed in this respect. Another reform needed was the appointment of public prosecutor, and he should be glad toeruppert any measure oe this subject. After Lord J. Russell's failure last session it was nut very pro bable that any educational scheme containing a rating clause would be again laid before Parliaineet just yet. Atter such a decided refu al on the part of Parliament, it seemed more likely that the opinions of such teen as Sir James Graham, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Henley in fa vour of the voluntary principle would prevail. At the end of the seeiion he had introduced a bill for the aboli tion of imprisonment fur debt, and it was his intention to proceed with it next session. The principle of his bill was to give to the insolvent debtor whose debt had not bseu caused by any criminal ac of his own the came pro tection which was at preesut given to haukrupts.

(Hear, hear.) The hon. geetleeran, after congratulating the meeting on the superior position occupied by this ceuutry in material resources, agricultural improvements, and manufacturing intelligence in comparison with the other nations of the world, sat down amid loud cheers. Sir CHARLES NAPIER then presented himself, and was warmly received. He had been sent to Parliament, he said, with a commission from his constituents to give all the support he conscientiously could to the Government of Lord Palmerston. He had given the noble Lord's Government all the support he could, for he was a very old friend of gst I: th i beh s , session n .st sh d i oe Thehrn ee on thnaa firstwdd h a ct,: have been he o y sene vh Isle. hadgir ar h bß a l o ee p reco p na r t sh e oi action s t og i ne o i ,dn n a theo to f h v osot course rb a s g el a t n ef annual motion to prevent business of importance being proceeded with after 12 o'clock at night. That was a most useful motion, but, of course, it was opposed by the Government, as, if carried, it would have deprived them of many opportunities of passing bills without op position. He had opposed the Government, too, on Captain Scobell's motion for a reform in the administra tion in the navy, and on the bill for allowing contractors to sit in Parliament. This last was an absurd notion, for it was not to be supposed that any contractor in his senses would vote against the Government which gave him a job. Only let the Government give him (Sir Charles) a good contract, and he should be ready to vote for them himself. (Loud laughter.) He had voted against the Government on the question of opening the British Museum on laundays, not that he saw any harm in it himeelf—(cheers)—indeed he thought it likely to be use ful in drawing working men away from the publichouses, but he was informed that there was a strong feeling against the measure in South wark—(no, no)—and he had voted in accordance with what he believed to be the epinion of his constituents. (A voice, "You voted wrong, then.") He had voted for the abolition of rates, and he bad voted against the Government on the billeting question, when they were left in such a large minority. He had voted against Lord John Russell's 1 education resolutions, because he thought it impossible for any Government to give an education to the people which would be satisfactory to all parties. The only mode of getting over the difficulty was to give a secular education, and to leave religious teaching to the clergy of the different denominations. (Hear.) He had voted in favour of Mr. Spooner's motion, though, in his own opinion, he believed the present to be a very unwise time to raise the question.
