(Hear, hear.) It is how ever, amusing sometimes to see tho manner in which those who found their practice upon different principles deal with those of a contrary school. It was the cry in Germany when England follaWed the restrictive system that Eng land, by its prohibitions and duties, wanted to ruin Ger many—that we wished to sell without buying—a problem somewhat difficult to realise—(laughter)—that we wished to inundate the continent with our manufactures, and to take nothing in return—a most generous and disintereted course, if it had been pursued—(applause)—and that our restrictive system was, in short, to be the ruin of conti nental industry. Well, but now a different, an opposite complaint is made. They say, " See the deep designs of those perfidious Englishmen. (Laughter.) They have abo lished all their restrictions ; they have (Aar corn to come in they buy our corn out of our mouths, and the consumption • of foreign corn in England is rasing the price of every article of life upon the continent."

Well, gen tlemen, I say that whatever Governm oat shall hencefor ward rule the destinies of this country, they must found their policy upon the principle of freedom of trade, and they must endeavour, by example, by argument, and by all other means, to induce other countries to adopt it in their tarn. (Hear.) You have pleased, Mr. Mayor, and those who have honoured me by addresses, to observe upon the difficulty of the period at which the present Govern ment'undertook the chive of public affairs. No doubt, gentlemen, that was a period which appeared to be one of considerable difficulty. It was my lot to be called upon by my Sovereign to form an .A dminietration, in consequence of various circumstances which rendered other cotnbina- tions for the moment impossible. I called to my assistance friends whose public opinions I knew to be in accordance ' with my own, and upon whose zeal and ability I could con ! fidently rely. If our endeavours in the public service have been successful, it lies been owing to the ability, to the zeal, to the untiring and indefatigable labours of those respected colleagues. It has been owing to the generous confidence and undeviating support we have received from our Sove reign. (Cheers.) It has been owing to the spirit, the manly spirit, of the people of this country; aye, and let me say, not less than to any other, to the manly spirit and courage of those classes who might been supposed to be swayed more than others by pecuniary considerations—l wean the ,mercantile or manufacturing classes of this kingdom ; for .a mare noble example of,public spirit, a better proof of the suppression of all other feelings than a love for the honour, the dignity, and the rights of the country never was exhi bited than was displayed by the mercantile, the commer cial, or the manufacturing classes of this country during the last war. (Hear.) Our success was owing also to that which never fails—the heroic bravery of our sailors and our soldiers—(cheers)—ready to endure all sufferings, and to faCe and encounter all dangers, sure to conquer all diffi culties, whether. arising from the strife of the elements, or whether flow the antagonism of nations. It was owing to the faithful co-operation of our allies. (Cheers.) It was owing to the justice of our cause; and certainly, gentle men, there never was a greater example of the rapid reverse which is sure, sooner or later—in this case it was sooner— to accompany wrong than the events and results of the last • war. (Rear.) Well, gentlemen, we are now at peace, and I hope that that peace may be lasting. Its duration must depend upon the honour and fidelity with which its condi tions are fulfilled. (Cheers.) I trust that that Power which brought upon itself the hostility, either active or mom', of all Europe, by a forgetfulness of international sights and duties—l trust that • that Power, having con cluded a treaty, will observe that treaty and fulfil it with faithfulness, and then no doubt peace will be of lortg du ration. (Cheers.) It will, of course, be the object of her Majesty's Governments-4 won't say to employ their com parative leisure, but to occupy themselves during the peace with those improvements which all human arrangsurents are necessarily capable of receiving. Progressive improve ment is the law of our nature. It is that which alone enno bles the individual, which tends tq raise him in the scale of society; and it is that which enables nations to fulfil the destination for which their social and political institutions were formed. We know that in all progressive improve mews we may reckon upon the cordial co-operation of the intelligence of the country. (Hear.) We know that though sometimes there may be partial interests that may conflict with general improvement, such is the nature of things, and that we must bear with those momentary impediments, be cause they cannot be prevented ; but we know that gradual improvement must go on. And the observation of public affairs must, teach mankind not to be too jealous 'of time, and to be content with that steady and gradual advance which alone is possible in a free country liktethis. Nations which are governed by ukases and edicts may complain of their Governments if everything is not done at once which they may think ought to be accomplished; but, fortunately, in this country, improvements must be the result of a gene ' ral concurrence ; all prejudices must be overcome, all counter opinions must be reconciled; and, • though time racy be required for operating improvements, §et those im • provernents, when made, are founded upon general convic tion, and carry with them the feelings and opinions of the mass of the nation, and therbfore they are 'ltinre pernia nen t and valuable than improvements more hastilyresolved upon. ' (Cheers.) We aro often reproached in Parliament with having done but little in the course of a session. Well, gentlemen, if every session were to produce you a small number of useful laws, I think you would not have any good reason to complain of your representatives. (Hear.) Those laws and improvements which are gradual are gene rally better considered and more effectual, and therefore it is no real reproach to the Legislature of the country that a small number of improvements are made in eack session of the Legislature. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, it has , been observed—and I am much flattered by the observation —that in the course of my administration of the foreign i affairs of the country, I was careful of the interests of hr Majesty's subjects in foreign parts. In that respect I have felt that I was only the organ of the British nation. I felt that any Government that did not extend the strong arm of protection to all those' who are in the right, in any part of the world, would not be the faithful organs of the people whom they were appointed to govern ; and there is this to be remarked about that—that the difficulties that may arise in regard to the protection of individuals from wrong are difficulties which generally arise in weak and small States. Larger Powers are above these things. The men who govern them have a regard for the honteurof their country; they are men whose personal feelings teach them to discern right and wrong; and, therefore, with the larger Powers—either of Europe or the United States—we have little difficulty in protecting subjects, because there we lind a sense of right and wrong that, when applied, to, is sure to obtain-justice and redress. It is among smaller atates, where, from various cirhamstances which I don't with now* . to go into, the principles of right and wrong are net quite , so steadily kept in view—(laughter)—it is there that we are most frequently called upon to interfere. And then when we do interfere people say "Ah I yell attack the weak." Why, those countries abuse their weakness; they make their weakness the pretence for doing evil, trusting that you will overlook their delinquencies merely because you are able to obtain redress for yourselves. (Hear, and applause.) Well, gentlemen, there is one topic that has been adverted to which is one of the greatest public inte rest, snore peculiarly belonging to this district,but throe h this district most important to the interests of th at large—l mean the supply of the raw material wh" !‘„ the foundlition of so vast a national industry. (Appian It is perfectly true that there is a great evil in dependine b for that supply upon one source alone , and more especially upon a source which, from many causes, is likely not only to fluctuate, but to diminish, because we know that the progressive development of national industry in the United States tends from time to time to increase the quantity of their own produce which they work up, and which, therefore, cannot come to be worked up -in this country. There are many sources to which attention has been directed. There is India, which has been ads verted to • and I can Bemire you, gentlemen, that the talent tion of Government: and the attention of the India Boari4 has been sedulously directed to removing those obstacle, which have for a long period prevented the s u pp l y whieh is abundant in the interior from reachingthe coast, and from coming to this country. No efforts shall be omitted which can properly be made for the purpose of pee g t channels by which that supply may fly to this country. he There is another source, which is not of the sense magni tude, but yet is not altogether to be despised—the source which is afforded by the western coast of Africa. lam happy to say that the efforts which her Majesty's Govereis went, and which different Govern meats—for there has been no difference in regard to this—for the efforts which suc cessive Governments for a long period of time have made for the suppression of that aboulleable crime, the slave trade, have been to a great degree successful. Tho trade with the Brazils has almost entirely ceased, and the trade to Cuba has greatly diminished. The trade to Brazil used to take 60,000 or 70,000 unhappy beings every ye se to be victims of slavery in that country. And the result has been, as you all know, a vast development of legal trade with the western coast of Africa—ea vast development of the palm-oil trade and the trade in ground-nut and; other produce; and I cannot but hope that cotton, which is the indigenous growth of that country, and which I believe is , of very good quality, may also come in for its share in sup plying the industry of this count r y . But a matter of such importance as the endeavonring to enlarge the sources of supply cannot, I assure you, fail to occupy the serious and continued attention of her Majesty's Government. Well, gentlemen, among the different things which seem to me peculiarly to do honour to this great community is the at tention which you pay to the improvement of those who are unable themselves to contribute much to their own ins .; provement —I mean by the diffnsien of knowledge among the working classes. There cannot be a more honourable devotion of time—there cannot be a more proper applica tion of wealth—there cannot be anything which more ennobles the community which ooeupies itself iu steal "pur suits than the placing within the reach of the lower classe'ri• means of instruction which oan only be accumulated to gether by the employment of wealth and by the occupa zion of leisure. In this great city it is a source of pride to seethat while you are amassing fortunes by industry, that while you are raising the character of the country by the magnitude of your undertakinge and by the acidities. you aro making to the national resources, you are not un mindful of the cultivation of the intellect of those whom you.employ ; that you do not look upon them merely as machines who are to produce so much profit to yourselves, but you view them as rational beings, whose intellect it is your duty to improve ; and that vast sums art expended and great, exertions aro made to raise them in the scale of society, and ra i se t h em also in their own se lf- re spect, by t in ci c li re g as en i e n and their in telligence their kn ow l e d ge , their happiness, (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I beg again to say that it ha s a ff or d ed me the greates t pr id e t o find myself received as I have been by such a great community as that which I have now the honour to address • for I eel iir suaded that my colleagues, as well as myself, w ill derive the gr ea t es t sat i sfact i on f rom fi n di ng that our exertion s in the publi c serv i ce h ave o bt a i ne d for us the approbat ion of . 4 0 distinguished a body of the community. I may say that oieetingsofthis sort are among the bright sun shin y periods of public life, and I am sure that the satisfaction which I have experienced will be shared equally by my colleagues. In their name, as well as my own, I beg again to return you my sincerest and most heartfelt thankb for the honour you IA)", '; FRIDAY EVYI4ING, NOVEMBER 7, 1856. man must be more particularly anxious to receive to sti monies of approval it must be from those great commu nities which, like that which I now have the honour to address, are, I may say, espscially characteristic of the British constitution. (Cheers.) For that which peculiarly distinguishes the people of these islands from the nations of the continent is that system of local self-government which has been so fortanately established, and by which the affairs of the country are carried on with little inter ference on the part of the executive Government. Under that system the affairs of the country are conducted by the people themselves, whose own fault it is if they be not con ducted to their satisfaction. But they are conducted to their satisfaction, to the great benefit of the empire at large, and to the raising of the character and reputation of the country among the nations of the world. But, gentle men, among the various duties which fall to those bodies which are charged with their local self-government, there can be none more important, there can be none more inte resting, there can be none that'is attended with more per manent and general benefit than that attention which you have devoted to the spread of education and the diffusion of information among the lower classes. Those who are blessed with fortune and leisure can without difficulty fur nish themself with the means of instruction, but for the great majority of those who pass their days in labour, and who are compelled to, devote their lives to their own main tenance and to that of their families, it is obviously im possible to provide themselves out of their own moans and resources with those opportunities of mental culture ne cessary for the 'full development of their moral and intel lectual faculties. knd, itdeed, it - is "Molt honourable to the corporation of this lairough that they have established in this building those facilities of information which you, Mr. Mayor, have so well explained, and the results of which must not only be attended with deep gratification to those who partake of them, but mast raise them as citizens in the scale of civilisation. It is tale, Mr. Mayor, as stated by you and my hon. friend the representative of your borough, that the Government of which - I am the head undertook the conduct of public affaira in a 'moment of apparent difficulty. I say of " apparent" difficulty, because, to a country like this, full of people of such energy and such high spirit, whose courage rises with the occasion, whose resources, both of wealth and ingenuity, are never failing, and never inferior to the exigencies of the time, there is no difficulty which is real, or at least which is not sure to be surmounted. (Loud cheers.) Our difficulties, therefore, were less serious than might be supposed because 'we knew• that our cause beingjust we might count upon the support of the people and Parliament of the country— (cheers)—we knew that we might reckori upon the bravery of our soldiers and our sailors; we knew that we could rely upon the fidelity of our allies, and we were confident that whatever clouds might lour on the horizon we should be enabled to bring the contest to an honourable and, we trust, a speedy termination. (Applause.) My hon. friend the member for Salford has remarked upon the imputa tions which on former occasions were cast upon me per sonally of a disposition to risk, without necessity, thepeace of the country, and to go, if not into the thick, at least to the verge of wars with other countries. Those accusations, allow me to say, were founded on a misconception of the nature of things —(laughter) —for, depend upon it, that a cquntry like this, with great interests at stake antra great reputation to maintain, with oar fellow•subjects scattered over the whole face of the globe, with our property floating upon every ocean, with commercial transactions extending to the remotest corners of the earth—depend upon it, I say, that a country so circumstanced does well, acts wisely, to guard against the approach of insult and the very appear ance of wrong, and that it is easier to stop the beginning of such affairs than to find a remedy when thesOil risen to a great magnitude, and when great efforts may he required to check it. (Cheers.) Therefore, my object throughout the transactions to which my hon. friend has' made reference was not to bring on war, but to prevent war—(cheers)--and rely upon it that it is the true policy for this country. It is the policy which has been pursued by all those statesmen of former times who have raised most highly the reputation of this country, and most en joyed the confidence of the people ; it is the policy, he as sured of it, which all enlightened statesmen will adopt, and which all intelligent people will justify and approve. (Cheers.) You have expressed a hope that her Majesty's Government will follow out the course of improvement which has hitherto been pursued. Any Government in sensible to that duty must be unfit to be charged with the conduct of public affairs. Progressive improvement is what every man studies to practise in his private affairs, and why should not the nation practise it allot.. When we look around, we dud that every man irr - banteitti capacity im proves his estate, his house, his bosiiiihi,his machinery, his manufactures. (Hear.) Then why should we not en deavour to be perpetually ameliorating those laws and in stitutions which, being human, cannot be perfect, but which, according to the progress of society and the change of circumstance must be continually in need of emendation and extension. (Applause.) It is quite true that if it is of importance, as every man must acknowledge it to be, that this country should stand high in the estimation of other na tions, it is not by maintaining groat armies and navies that that desirable object is to be attained. Of course, all na tions must have the means of self-defence, but it is not by threatening others—as lam sorry to say has too often been the practice of continental nations and governments—it is not by keeping up menacing establishments that real sub stantial and useful political influence is to be acquired. That object is to be attained by the moral authority which the bearing of a nation exercises upon the opinion of others; it is to be attained when other nations know that a people will not submit to wrong or violate what is right , when they know that a people is imbued with self-respect; that they have energy to develops their resources ; that, when threatened with foreign danger, they are united as one man; that they seek not war, but, on the contrary, desire peace, yet they will not endure to be insulted or injured with impunity. A nation exorcises a potent influence when it is seen to exhibit a bright example of internal order and morality, when it is manifest that the intellectual. advance- ment of the country is the object of its rulers, and when it is obvious that the welfare of all classes is promoted with equal assiduity; then it is, and then alone, that the exam ple, though not admitted at first, produces a powerful im 'pression upon the minds of others; then it is that even thoso who may feel that our institutions are not in exact accordance with their own theoretic notions of government are yet insensibly impelled to imi tate our progress, and eventually assimilate their laws and habits to our own. (Renewed applause.) Highly giatified, as I cannot but feel, with the manner in which I have been received here to-day, I am bound to say that my gratification has been enhanced by the presence of my hon. friend, the representative of your interests in Parlia ment. He is a man of whose support any Government must be proud, for'that support is only given where he be lieves it to be due ; he is a man whose personal and public , conduct has attracted the esteem, the respect, I may say the affection, of every member of that house in which he has the honour of a seat—(cheers)—a man who I am sure has no enemy in the world, unless indeed it be some as piring orator whose intended display he has incontinently cut short on the approach of midnight. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I must again express ray sense of the high gratification I have experienced, not only from the kindness of your reception, but also from the contemplation of the interesting objects of art which it was my privilege to inspect during the short time that I have spent within your circle. I do unaffectedly assure you that nothing can.be more gratifying to a public man than the opportunity of associating with his fellow -countrymen in the manner I have lately done. Those opportunities are necessarily short and rare, for the anxious occupations of public life leave little means of disposing of one's time in the manner one might wish. I can assure youorgentle men, that the leisure of a Minister of the Crown during the recess is not altogether such a period of tranquillity and repose as many may suppose it tobe. History knows no cessation. Events and transactions do not rest because Parliament is up, and the attention of a public man to the duties of his office is undeviating and never ceases.. There fore, however gratifying it may be to them to conic into congenial contact with their fellow-citizens, the opportu nities are rare; but, as allrare things are precious in pro portion to their rarity, so do I derive the greater gratifi cation from the unwonted facilities I enjoy of coming• among you, and receiving at your hands such marks of kindness as you have this day been pleased to bestow upon me. The noble lord then took his departure amid the enthusi astic plaudits of the assembly. He repaired without de lay to the Town-ball of Manchester, there to receive the address of the Town Council, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Commercial Association. The building was crowded to excess, and presented a brilliant and animated appear ance. The mayor and members of the corporation wore their robes of office. The appearance on the platform of the Piemicr and Lady Palmerston was the signal for a burst of enthusiastic acclamation. The Town Clerk having road the address from the Town Council, which has already appeared in the colums of The Sun Mr. T. BAZLEY presented the following address on be half of the Chamber of Commerce: -. " To tbs Right/lon. t /lon. the Lord Viscount Paltnerston, K.G., G.C.8., &c., First Lord of her Majesty's Treasury, " May it please your Lordship,—The Chamber of Com merce and Manufactures at Manchester tenders to your lordship its warm congratulations upon your arrival in this city. Gratefulfor the blessings which have already flowed, and for those which assuredly have yet to flow, from :he changea which since 1842 have been established in the commercial policy of this country, the Chamber of Com merce eagerly avails itself of the opportunity which this year your first visit affords, of expressing to your lordship in person its thanks to the eloquent and effective support 'which your lordship rendered to the great and patriotic statesman under whose auspices these changes wore ef fected ; nor would it omit to acknowledge with gratitude the firm adherence to the beneficent principles Ithen este blished:vrhich your lordship has since continued to mani fest. (Cheers.) It is a source of high gratification to the chamber to be enabled to seize an opportunity of expressing to your lordship• and, through your lordship, to your col leagues in the Government, its most earnest congratulations ur on the restoration of peace. The chamber now looks with eager anticipation upon the prospects which peace and tran quillity afford to your lordship's Government to promote measures which will benefit the industry of the country. (Cheers.) , Believing that the bill for the regulation of local dues upon shipping which was last session proposed toPar liament, but early withdrawn, was founded upon just prin ciples, the chamber hopes that, in its next sesion, Parlia ment may, by the passing of this bill, relieve the country from exactions which have been levied under false pre tences, and are, in its opinion, at once oppressive and un constitutional. (Cheers.) The chamber has to express its regret that the assimilation of the mercantile laws of 'the United Kingdom has not been effected in accordance with the report of the Royal commission. The chamber is anxious to see an extension of our commerce with the con tinent of Europe, and would rejoice in the reduction of wine and other duties which at present are assumed to, ho, obstacles.to increased commercial intercourse. The clam- ber further begs permission to draw' the attention of your lordship to points in the present and past government of our colonies which, viewed commercially and ec momicelly, so affect the interests both of the colonies and the mother country, that the chamber thinks itself justified, even upon an occasion.like the present, in placing them before the nobleman who holds the first place in her Majesty's Coun cils. The multiplication of sources of supply of the raw material which feeds the large t industry of the kingdom should at all times receive the attention of the Govern ineot ; but when events, as during the last year make the undisturbed e'nployment of millions, and perhaps thepeace of the country, to rest upon diplomatic misunderstandings, reliance upon almost one source of supply ought to excite deep solicitude. But it needs not the interruption of friendly relations to disturb the equable current of our ma nufactuline: interest; the elements often do so, and are now rendering precarious the supply of raw cotton, and your lordship may believe that the present position of the trade dependent upon that staple is one of very grave anxiety. Great Britain has colonies in various parts of the globe admirably suited to the production of cotton and other raw materiels ; but the chamber is informed that laws and regulations so interfere with the introduction of labour and the occupation of the soil that profitable culti vatitsn is impossible. It is to an early and serious conside ration of how far the shackles referred to may be relaxed that the chamber invites your lordship and the Govern ment, guarding itself, however, against the advocacy of any measure which would obviously, or even by implication, encourage a trade in slaves, or a return to protective policy. The'chamber trusts your lordship will kindly receive this expression of its opinions, which would not have been made upon the present occasion if serious danger did not beset the best interests of this district ; but your lordehip may rest assured that the introduction of these subjects in ,no way tends to diminish the welcome with which the cham ber hails your visit to Manchester." (Loud cheers.) Mr. J. A. TURNER, President of the, Manchester Com mercial Association, then read an address from that body: - • To the Right Hon. the Lord Viscount Palmerston, IC.G. G.C.8., Ste., First Lord of her Majesty's Treasury. • "May it please youi. lordship,—We, the directors of the Manchester Commercial Association, most gladly avail ourselves of the present opportunity of tendering to your lordship the expression of our cordial welcome and congra tulation upon the occasion of your first public visit to this city. Representing a body of merchants engaged in com merce with every quarter of the world, we gratefully ac knowledge the important services seadered by your lord ship to the trading interests of this country, and we fully appreciate that jealous regard for the national honour which your lordship has at all times shown in extending the protection of her Majesty's Government to British sub jects abroad. After having, in the course of a long and brilliant career, administered the affairs of almost every department of the State with the greatest distinction to yourself and advantage to the country, your lordship was called upon, at a period beset with danger and perplexity, to assume the liighest. position which can be occupied by e liriefsh subject in the councils of the Sovereign, and you fulfilled the deities of that station in a manner which has retleeted new‘lwito on a name already justly celebrated throughout the ct4ilised world, as the determined 'fir of .oppression under every form, and the able and consistent promoter of constitutional freedom and social progress. (Loud cheers.) Although 'members of a purely industrial community, we sympathised in no degree with those who; in their anxiety for the re-establishment of peace, ware willing to lower the tone of political morality; therefore, in common with the great majority of our fellow-country men, we hailed your lordship's accession to office with the deepest satisfaction, feeling that in your lordship her Ma jesty had fpund a minister possessed of firmness and ability commensurate with the importance of the crisis. (Cheers.) The present more tranquil state of affairs in Europe, which we earnestly hope may lead to an enduring peace, affords again to these kingdoms an opportunity for the farther prosecution of those social reforms which tend to ameliorate the condition of all classes ; and we entertain no doubt that your lordship will devote the same untiring energy to the domestic administration of the country which characterised your foreign policy daring ,the unhappy period of the recent--war. We cannot conclude without expressing to your Lordship our sincere and earnest hope that you may long live in the enjoyment of health and happiness, and in the exercise of those exalted qualities which have distinguished your Lordship as one of the most eminent statesmen of modern times." Mr. TURNER having presented the address to the noble lord, said,—Before I sit down I trust I insy be permitted to offer the expression of my own'persenal satisfaction that at last wesee a nobleman who has so long occupied a dis tinguished place in th e governmen t o f hi s coun t ry , an d who has exercised so great an influence on its position with relation to foreign States, standing face to face with the citizens of Manchester and receiving their cordial welcome. (Cheers.)' Your lordship sees before you a body of men than whom none are more enterprising, than whom none are more industrious, than whom none are more persever ing, more inventive, or more resolute in their determina tion to uphold the proud position which their country has achieved among the nations of the earth. Your lordship may think that we aro devoted to cotton bags and calico, to unfenced machinery and sbaftings—(laughter) —to bank ing and money-making. These are, indeed, the instru ments with which we work, but they are by no means the sole objects of our thoughts and attentions. (Cheers.) I am persuaded that in no part of her Majesty's dominions will she find more loyal subjects, men more patriotic, more earnest advocates of political liberty and religious freedom, or more determined foes of tyranny and oppression. (Loud cheers.) And, although wo are certainly much and de servedly attached to peace, on which depends the employ ment of thousands of people who are kept in work by the capital of the men around me, yet, if her Majesty should be involved in a just and necessaey war she will find no men more determined to support her arms, or to bear with out a murmur the burdens of war than the citizens of Manchester. (Loud cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON, on rising to reply, was greeted with loud 'sheers. .He seid, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I shall indeed find it difficult to express in words the high gratifi cation which I have felt at the honourable, cordial, and generous reception which I have met with in this great commercial district. The approbation of 'one's follow countrymen must at all times be ono of the greatest objects of desire to men who are engaged in public life. It is an encouragement to exertion, it is an incentive to public duty, and it is one of the greatest rewards that can be awarded to those whose zeal and energy may have been attended with successful results. It must ever be pecu liarly gratifying to those who are charged with the con duct of public affairs, and whose attention is greatly en gaged in the details of daily duties which leave little lei sure for the disposal of time in the manner they might da sh e. It is peculiarly gratifying to a man in my position to have an opportunity of visiting such a great community as that which I have now the honour to address. lam speakirig not merely of the particular town in which we stand, but of that vast district of which this town is the soul and centre, when I say that it is the hive of industry, that it is one of the great sources of national wealth, that it is the cradle and the nursery of genius. It must, there fore, be doubly gratifying to visit such a 'district —in the first place, as affording an opportunity of becoming ac quainted with those men who are among the great sources of national wealth, and who furnish the elements of na tional character—who, while they are pursuing their own industrial occupations, are raising the country in the scale of nations—(hear, hear)—developing the intelligence and intellectual faculties of their fellow-countrymen, promot ing their welfare, and increasing the sphere of their hap piness ; and it is also useful that by personal intercourse we should become more intimately acquainted than other wise wo could be with the feelings, with the wishes, with the wants, and with the opinions of such an influential body of the community. Therefore, gentlemen, not only am I most grateful to you for the good opinion and the kind reception which I have met with, bat I am also proud of having had this opportunity of making personal acquaintance with you, and of seeing the extensive progress and development which this great and vast, city exhibits. Gentlemen, it is true, as has been stated, that I felt it my duty, as a mem ber of the Legislature, to support the development of those great principles of freedom of trade which that great and eminent man, Sir Robert Peel, who was more peculiarly connected with your district was, though not the first to inculcate, because the truth is of more ancient date, yet the first who was able to carry that truth extensively into practical application. (Cheers.) Fortunately, that great struggle of opinion which arrayed the people of this coun try in opposite camps—on the one hand those who were for a free and unshackled commercial interest, and on the other those who fancied that they and the country had an inte rest in restriction—fortunately that struggle is over. The truth has, prevailed, and not only by the , force of argument, but by the force of the results of experietnce.. No man who looks at the state of the country as it wa n when our system was restrictive, and compares it with the vast impulse which has been given to the productive Vndustry and to the accumulative wealth of the country ainn e that period, can shut his eyes to the fact that we have en harked in a career of sound policy —a career which never NS ill be departed from as long as reason shall rule the policy' of this country. (Cheers.) And, gentlemen, that example ii more powerful than argument, and more powerful than'-diplomatic per suasion, to induce other countriosto follow tee e coarse which wa hate pointed out. When they see how, by freedom of intercourse, the wealth and prosperity of this: country have increased, they cannot but think that the narrow prin ciple's upon which their policy has hitherto baron founded stud be erroneous ; and nation after nation, government after government, are insensibly falling into our track. LORD PALMERSTON AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, Nov. 6. Lord and Lady Palmerston left Claremont in com pany with B. Heywood, Bart., and several members of his family, at J.l o'clock this morning, and drove into Salford, where it was arranged that an address of con. gratulation should be presented to the noble Lord at the Royal Museum, Peel-park. The weather was mcst propitious, and the road between Claremont and Sal ford was crowded' with spectators, by whom the Pre mier was heartily applauded as he passed along. A large multitude had also assembled in ,tbe pleasure-grounds adjoining the Museum, and all were manifestly influ enced by the same desire to give a cordial welcome to the distinguished visitors. Lord and Lady Palmerston were met At the entrance of the Museum by Mr. Heelis, mayor of Salford, the Town Clerk, and the Museum Committee, who conducted them through the building, and directed their attention to the chief features of interest in the institution. The collection of objects illustrative of natural history is very eaten swe, and their examination was a work of some 'time. After visiting the library Lord and Lady Palmerston were ushered into the reading-room, where a company of nearly 1,000 ladies and gentlemen were awaiting their arrival. The noble Lord was led to the dais by the Mayor, and Lady Palmerston by Sir Benjamin Hey wood. Among the company were the Bishop of Man chester, Mr. Brotherton, M.

Aldermen Higgins, Rensha /I*, and Weston, Mr. Richard Roberts, C.E., &c. The MAYOR of SALFORD said that he had much grati. fication in presenting to the noble Lord an address which had been unanimously adopted by the corporation of the borough. It was as follows : " To THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD 'VISCOUNT PALMER STON, K.G., FIRST LORD OF HER MAJESTY'S TREA SURY, (kn. " We, the Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Salford, hail with lively .gratification your lordship's visit to this borough ; and wa avail ourselves of this oppor tunity, with deep respect for your lordship's character and station as First Minister of the Crown, to express the sense we entertain of your lordship's desire to give the sanction of your high name and position to the educational esta blishments of the people. When we see your lordship voluntarily relinquish a hardly-earned leisure to discharge duties which, perhaps,might be ignored or neglected with out loss of personal popularity or party influence, we can not withhold from your lordship our tribute of unfeigned admiration and, respect, nor repress our desire to offer to your lordship a cordial and grateful welcome. (Cheers.) We warmly congratulate your lordship upon having suc cessfully directed the affairs of State at so important crisis in the history of this country; and ,we desire to ex press our deep satisfaction and thankfulness that, under the administration and guidance of your lordship, and br the earnest-mindedness of a resolute and loyal people, England again enjoys the blessings of an honourable and, we hope, a lasting peace, with its concomitant advan tages of commercial and manufacturing prosperity. (Con tinued applause.) May your Lordship long be blessed with health and vigour to continue the arduous exertions re quired by your exalted station, and to aid this country iu maintaining its high position among nations—a position, we would hope, not so much due either to her military strength or insular advantages, as to the moral influence of large classes in all ranks faithfully discharging the duties entailed upon them by an advanced Christian civilisation. "Given under our common i seal this 3d of Nov., 1856. " STEPHEN HEELIS, Mayor." Having handed the document to the noble lord, The MAYOR said that though it was unnecessary forh:im to offer any remark on the subject of the address he deemed the present a fitting opportunity for making a few observations with respect to the building in which they were assembled. In 1846 the sum of 33,0001. was volun tarily subscribed for the establishment of three public parks `or the free use of the people of the populous district of Manchester and Salford. Of this sum sum 13,0001. was expended in the purchase of the surrounding park, which is called Peel Park, in honour of the late distinguished statesman Sir Robert Peel. This institution, combining a museum, library, and reading-room was opened in 18d0. The library commenced with 7,000 volumes and now contains 18,500. The number of books issued in 7 years has been 432,000. The readers are chiefly of the working classes, the average number being about 400 daily. Of the number of books issued about one-third belong to the class of novels and light literature, and nearly two-thirds to the class of history, biography, science, and general literature. The lending library contains 56.000 volumes, and the daily issue has . been 250 volumes. Nine-tenths of the borrowers are working people ; three-fifths are under 30 years of age, wad one-fifth are females ; 270 are soldiers from the barracks. The museum has since its opening been visit ed by upwards of 2,000,000 visitors. This year alone the number of visitors has exceeded 500,000. The dona tions in money to the institution have amounted to 9,9471. The value of donations in works of art, speci mens, and books is estimated at 10,0001. The amount raised by the museum rates for the working expenses of the institution during the seven years has been 4,8721. The total value of the contents of the museum and library is estimated at 14,2001. The amount expended in ex tension of the building has been nearly 6,0001. In con clusion, he bad only to express a hope that the example which the borough of Salford had afforded by establishing so valuable an institution would be followed in other parts of the country. (Cheers.) Mr. BROTHERTON—My Lord, I am greatly gratified in being allowed to unite with the Mayor and Council of he borough in welcoming you among us. The borough of Salford contains 100,000 inhabitants, and we consider it a very great compliment on the part of your Lord ship, considering the various and anxious duties apper taining to your high office, that you should visit this locality at this advanced season of the year. It is not for so bumble an individual as myself to pass a eulogium en your lordship. You do not require it ; but having been for 24 years, or nearly so, a witness of your con duct in the House of Commons, and having always felt a warm admiration for your transcendent talents, and having a deep respect for your public and private cha racter, and appreciating very highly the great services which, in my opinion, you have rendered to this nation, —(cheers)—l deem it my duty to say in the presence of my constituents, as I am no party man —my country is my si l lily party --(cheers) —how much I am delighted by the presence among us of a statesman to whose adminis tration I have given a cordial and conscientious support. lam well aware that there have been various attacks upon your lordship with regard to your foreign policy, and I have heard people intimate that you had a sort of desire to bring the country into conflict with other na tions, and, in a word, that you were no friend of peace. But let me remind the persons who would make such insinuations that as long as you hold the seals of the Foreign-office you did preserve the peace of Europe, and that since you have had to assume, under difficult circumstances, tho responsible office o ' Prime Minister, you have by the wisdom of your admi nistration brought to an honourable and satisfactory ter. ruination the war in which the country was involved when ;you consented to accept those arduous duties. For this I am of opinion that your lordship is entitled to the gratitude of the people of this borough and of the nation at large. (ear.) Your lordship has been con nected with all the measures of reform that have passed since I have had the honour of a seat in Parliament, and I am sure that you will continue to pursue that course which will promote in the highest degree the happiness and prosperity of this great country. In reflecting on my public conduct I shall always derive satisfaction from the thought that when your conduct as Foreign Minister was attacked in 1850 I gave you my humble support, and had the pleasure of seeing that you came out of that difficulty in the most triumphant manner. You are aware that g h t o t:to' You expect were Commons support,desertedand the by b country menl feltfromwould u when you ass ume d the reins of government there were difficulties i s y our way which you alone could esti- I mate. a ss stand rwhomey ou h sd d t hat by yu t he and the event has p rove d that my anticipations were,cOrl e a r House , rect. (Cheers.) In conclusion, I have only to add the expression of my since re h ope that you may be long spared to preside over the political destinies of this era• Dire, for I have the strongest conviction that your name will go down to posterity among those of the most dis tinguished statesmen of our time, and as the zealous friend of , freedom, progress, and peace. (Applause.) Lord PALMERSTON, who en presenting himself was re ceived with loud cheers, spoke as follows :—Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of the Corporation of Salford,--I need not, I am sure, say how deeply a person in my 'situation must feel ,tho cordial and honourable reception which I am now re ceiving from this great and distinguished community. Among the various inducements which a public man has in this country to fulfil his duty there can be none more inspiring, there can be none more encouraging, there can be none more gratifying to an honourable mind than to be informed that a zealous endeavour to perform difficult public functions has met with the approbation of his fel low-countrymen.

At 8 o'clock in the l e N ve S n T. Bagley, J. A. Turner ) E. Watkin, J. Heron, W. Fair bairn, C.D., &c. The chair was taken by the president, Mr. 0. Heywood, who addressed the meeting at some length, and gave an interesting sketch of the history of the institution. Lord PA L MERSTON (who was received with great cheering) then said,—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen—lt is impossible for any Englishman to he present on this occasion, in this magnificent building, and amid the vast assemblage that have the honour to see around me, without feeling proud .of the country to which he has the happiness to belong —(cheers)--and if any Englishman must bo animated with such feelings on an occasion like the present, how much more gratifying must it be to one of those who are charged with the conduct of the administration of the country, and who cannot but feel yet deeper satisfaction and additional pride in the contemplation of that which is an indication not merely of the pro gressive wealth of the country, not merely of it . , i n creasing intelligence, but which is also a proof of the spread of those sentiments and sympathies between the different classes of society which are the surest foun - dation 'of the welfare and prosperity of an empire.? We are assembled in a building which in its splendour is worthy either of an emperor of the present day or o f one of those great commercial States which in the earlier periods of history played so powerful and prominent a part in the affairs of the world— (cheers)—but it is an edifice re markable not only for the magnificence of its structure, but for the purpose to which it has been applied and for the cordial support it has manifestly received from those wh • are collected within its walls. There are two remarkable circumstances peculiarly distinctive of the times in which we live—the principle of co-operation for common objects and the general diffusion of knowledge. In former times there were many men eminent in all branches of human learning, but, as regards the great masses of mankind, the avenues of knowledge were to a certain degree closed, but the arrangements of later periods, which aro improving from day to day, tend to diffuse among the great masa . .ef the community, or, at all events, among all who are will to receive instruction, the results of the labours of science and the finite ,of the investigations of the learned, and for these purposes the institutions of which this is so dis tieguished a member are undoubtedly well deserving of encouragement and support. The intellectual qualities as well as the moral feelings of our nature are scattered broadcast over the face of the earth. We find them everywhere, in the lowest classes as in the highest. Their development depends on the opportunities which are offered for their culture, and it is to these institutions that we are indebted for the faculties which are so advanta geously presented. In this country, fortunately, the road to wealth and to honours is open to all. Some of those among us who have filled the most distinguished situations have sprung from the humblest position, and have raised theniselves by their talent and good conduct. The great merit of these institutions is, that, whereas the labouring classes are unable by their own unaided exertions to obtain access to those books and those means of instruction which are necessary for the development of their intellects, and whereas their hours of leisure are so few as to afford them but little opportunity for mental culture, you open to them the whole range of the treasure of science, and, whatever line their genius may be best adapted to follow, you furnish them with the means of cultivating their fa culties and thus increase their knowledge, and, through their knowledge, their happiness. (Cheers.) Man is en dowed with a double nature—the moral and the intellec tual. Both contribute to his pleasure and happiness; his moral enjoyments are independent of ex tern al support, they begin with his home and coustitute his domestic attach. ments ; extending a little further they assume the cha racter of friendship, in a wider range they become love of country and patriotism, and with a still further develop- , went they take the shape of benevolence and phila.nthroplay. Those pleasures aro within the reach of every man, and no man needs assistance to enable him to enjoy that happiness which consists in the exercise of his affections, but his intel lectual qualities require assistance for their development. It is true that knowledge is power, but assuredly those who afford the labouring classes the means of acquiring knowledge contribute not merely to their advancement in life, but also to their innocent and laudable-enjoyments. (Cheers.) Great respect, no doubt, is due to axioms and old sayings, but, at the same time, it must be adMitted that though they may be generally correct they sometimes mislead the judgment We have often heard the same quoted from the words of one of our great poets, that " A littlseleerning is a dangerous thing, fL.Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring." I hold that is a mistake, and much error has it produced. A little knowledge is better than no knowledge at all. The mere knowledge a man has the better, but if his time and the means at his disposal do not permit of his acquiring deep and accurate knowledge, let him have has much as he can, and depend upon it, he will be all the better for it ; and al though he may not be able to drink deeply of that spring, if his lips have once tasted of it he will go back to the sane de licious waters whenever' he has an opportunity, and his draughts, be they great or small, will refresh his fancy, invi gorate his intellect, raise him in the scale of civilisation, con tribute to his individual happiness, and make him a more use - ful and honourable member of society. The first object of in struction ought to be that which we have been told is the mean ing of education—to teach a man how to live, and to teach a man how to live, his attention ought first to be directed to that pursuit to which he means to devote himself through life ; there, indeed, he should drink deeply, and there he should endeavour to perfect his knowledge, but should he on that account Dot endeavour to enlarge his mind, to extend his views, and obtain information on other matters not connected with the business of his profession ? Then we may be told that we will make him a mere smatterer in knowledge, to which I reply that it is better for a man to be a smatterer than to be ignorant and uninstructed. There are many lines of information which it is most essential for a working man to pursue, but from' which, were it not for institutions such as this, he would be hopelessly excluded. In the first place, there are certain laws of nature of which some regulate the trade in which he is employed, some govern and control his industry, and on others depend the wellbeing of his existence, and yet those laws are not to be known bythc simple-minded man. They are the result of deep reflection and long experi ence, and can only be ascertained by consulting the works of those who have minutely investigated and carefully explained them. If a man were to enter a town of some foreign coun try, where there were laws the violation of which was attended with pain, imprisonment, or it may be, with death, would lie not be deemed mad if he did not take the earliest opportunity to make himself acquainted with those enact that he might avoid the pesalties attached to their limits, so infringement Yet the re are laws of nature applicable to the d a ily pursu it s of men which, if not attended to, inflict b o dily pain in the form of disease, imprisonment in the shape of the loss of corporeal p o wers, and even death, through th e ne glect o f those sanitary conditions on which life depends. How important, then, it is that the working classes should be made awar e of those natural laws and regulations which are indispensable to their own welfare and to that of their fami lies. And why should not a life of labour be now and then cheered by the cultivation of the imaginative faculties ? (Cheers .) Why should not a day of fatigue be relieved in the evening by the occasional indulgence in the pleasure of poe try, and in that delightful enjoyment which the best works of fiction impart I Such occasional recreations, though they ought not to be the sole object of reading, are nevertheless useful, by giving buoyancy to the intellect and inspiring the mind with noble sentiments and feelings which deserve to. be cultivated. You cannot expect that a working man having but a small portion of time to devote to pursuits of this de scription should become an historian, but why should he not, by the aid of books well adapted for the purpose, gain a general knowledge of the history of this country, learn something of the rise, decay, and fall of empires, and judge of the causes which contribute to national prosperity and to national ruin ? Your institution furnishes the means where by the working man may inform himself on these great mat ters, and obtain clear ideas on many other subjects of impor tance ; why should he not have some knowledge of the constitution of the universe? I may be asked w hether I would make him an as t ronomer , or ex p ec t him to calculat e IZelipseg, describe the orbits of comets, or examine th e cou rs e of the planets. By no means ; but of all sciences the mecha nism of the univ erse i s th a t o f w hich a man who b 3 by s little leisure at big disposal may most easily obtain an insight the knowled g e of th ose f ac ts which are the r esu l t of deep study and car e f u l calc u l a tion.
