TEMPORARY OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. 6, Cook-street, Liverpool. • 30, Lotlibury, London, E.C. Notwithstanding that several new Marine Insurance Com panies hive been established within the last few years, it is generally recognised that the means of effecting marine in surances are not sufficient to meet the increasing expansion of trade, insurers being now driven to effect their insurances in remote towns in the provinces, in Ireland and Scotland, and on the Continents of Europe and America. The actual pries of shares in the existing Marine Insur ance Companies demonstrate clearly that the business is highly remunerative. Of th new Companies one only has been established in Liverpool, and it has already secured a very large and lucra tive business. More than half the exports and imports of the kingdom Pass through the port of Liverpool, and there is no doubt, therefore, that another Company having its Chief Offices in London and Liverpool will meet with ample support. under these circumstances tne British and Foreign Marine Insurance Company has bean established. The business of the Company will be csnfined to the issu ing of policies on freight and goods only, and it is expressly provided, as a fundamental element in the constitution of this Company, that no insurance shall be effected on the ships themselves. The principle of limited liability, as applicable to insurance companies, came into operation during the month of Novem ber hst. The Directors, observing that in banking and other important commercial enterprises limited liability has met th universal favour, have adopted it as an unalterable principle in the present undertaking. The Directors, therefore, express the greatest confidence in the success of this C.impany. Such provision has been made by the Directors for the pre liminary exp , nses as will secure the Comports , against pay ing any promotion money. A copy of the articles of association lies at the offices of the Company for inspection. The prospectus and forma of applications for shares may be obtained of the brokers of the company. Application for shares to he addressed to-the Directors ; but no application :will be consid, red unless a payment has been made to the bankers of the Company of £1 per share, on the nu iiber of shares applied for. This sum will be returned if no allot ment is made to the applicant. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. (To be retained by the Bankers.)

This is particularly the case in the trade between England an d America, and it is r rm. used that this Corporation shall commence its operations by the establishment of an agency ' ll ,__N. w York. The profitable nature of exchange bn iness is well known, espe,ially that with the American States, and although the Profit is at pre sen t greater than can be calculated upon in Ordinary years, there is general'y a much larger margin than is usually found remunerative by bankers. The purchase and 51Qsale on commission of securities in New York and London, dealings in which amount annually to many millions otherd the remittances of interest and dividends, will afford sources of profit. i„.„9rhe practice now become very y, general of attaching bills of aVing to bills of exchange as collateral security, renders ex ""age operations more than usually safe. whilst the ship_ forhof gold involves scarcely any risk whatever. e shipments of produce and specie from New York alone rerllthe past year have amounted to nearly forty urinous ng, and the average of several years has not been ratallch less. There is thus a very extended field for the ope ons of the Corporation, and the facilities which it will Ilrord, both in this country and America, must tend to pro 'lnte, and still further to extend, the commercial and mone tary transactions between the two countries. t he same remarks are applicable to other places in which ist. establishment of agencies is contemplated. t h , large business is also anticipated betwixt America and „ • Ports in India and China, which will be carried out in co -Itration with the Oriental Bank Corporation. eb t,,he success of Joint-stock Banks dealing in Exchange is d.eneed by the present quotations of the shares of the un ii,nlentioned companies ; and it is somewhat remarkable „cat l bejoint-stock principle has not yet been adopted in the ,rnerican trade, though presenting a wider field for its profit - anle operation than any otherpart of the world.

The Tones may have what opinions it likes; its writers write under a mask. I do not propose, although I could do it, to tear that mask away; but it writes as a great power in the press of this great country ; for two years it h ag taken up its parable against the twenty million of men in the free States of North America, and has indulged in as many prophecies as 'Merlin herself (a laugh), or anybody else of whom tradition gives us some account, but no one s=able prophecy up to this time has been fulfilled. There is not a man of PENCE ..... ...". c;. STAAIPED —.51. been willing to admit that it was a course creditable rather than otherwise to the Government by which it was taken. I should like to see it carried a little further. Many things which I advocate are thought rather foolish at first, but in time people come up to them, and I have the :atisfection of being a little ahead of the Government, and often of the nation. The other day I made a reference parenthetically to the cession of the fortress of Gibraltar, and I can conceive how that must have shocked some people. c c o u ni lt e gu to est a ion to t l l e ( i r a A a n b l t l a y h u a g t u h r e . men will only discuss it calmly I think they will to press it, but though it is l n e o ta d n o o u t bt a a t a m il o a re " tl i i o fl u i- s I observe that the n e wsp a p e rs o f Germany, Prance, and Spain have argued from what I said in your )f an tl i l m e unanimous a o n pi l n s i l o a n ud a s t , ou y t e t i i t f . town-hall three weeks ago that there is a great party in England favourable to the cession of Gib raltar. (Laughter.) Now, I make no such pre tension whatever. I know that in connection with that fortress there are memories and associations which may well make the English people pause when they are asked to give it up to Spain ; they have been told from their childhood that it is im pregnable ; and some persons have a notion that what is impregnable must be valuable, but that en tirely depends upon whether it is in such a posi tion that it gives groat safety to something which is valuable. Now I believe that most military per sons in this country who are not wishing to make out a case, and especially if they happen to be wholly independent of the powers that be, would admit that that rock is of no value whatever to us, It is of no value to us in time of peace, except per haps to smuggle a few goods into Spain, and it would also be of no value equivalent to the cost in time of war. It is to me a monument of a very foolish war and. a very dishonourable peace. I be lieve when it was taken it was taken in the name of Charles 111., the "lawful Sovereign" of Spain, who never happened to become the lawful Sovereign of Spain, and therefore, when the Treaty of Utrecht was concluded, our allies were sold, and we were permitted to retain Minorca and Gibraltar. Suppose this coun try were the chamber of commerce of the city of Madrid, how should we then be likely to view this matter? We have it on the authority of English statesmen that all the relations between the coun tries, and every negotiation between them from that time to this has been embitted and thwarted by the exasperation of Spain at England holding a por tion of their territory. In Spain there is a very high protective tariff, but I believe that if this thorn in the side of this country were removed we might easily have a very liberal treaty of commerce with her, by which every English production would be admitted upon moderate terms; and, moreover, I think you would long before this—l will not say compelled, but have persuaded the Spanish Govern ment to make effectual its laws against the traffic in negroes, thus putting an end to that abominable barbarity—the slave trade—between Africa an Cuba. For those of us who believe the Emperor of the French is a very dangerous neighbour, that he is a man of destiny, and that it is written in the Book of Fate that he is to do something dreadful to the Bank of England—to those who think that every Frenchman spends a portion of his time in looking across the Channel in the expectation that they will some day avenge Waterloo by traversing this country with the French eagle—(a laugh)—to all such—and I certainly am net among them—this argument ought to be one of force—namely, that the commercial class in Liverpool or Manchester Iris o would not admit to-day, if he were asked, that the influence, and, if you like, the ignorance, or if you wish to speak correctly, the malice of that p per towards the United States has produced disasticus consequences to . very many p ersons i n L ancas hi re. I know it, and kis universally known that there has been a constant teaching of the people that the war would come to an end, that there would ' be an armistice, that the North was exhausted, that bankruptcy was inevitable, that the re cent elections would break down President Lin coln's G.Ne.nment, and that everything would happen that has-not happened ; the consequence was that while the stock of cotton was constantly being diminished there has been the greatest fear among all persons having transactions in distant markCs to do any business in Manchester, and stocks of yarn and cloth have never risen in price at all in pro portion to the raw material. At this moment there are 400,000 bales in Liverpool ; there is a very slight increase in the working of the mills, owing to the uncertainty in the minds of all buyers as to whether the high prices will be long sustained. Some of this uncertainty is no doubt the inevitable result of the state of circumstances. None of us can predict with any accuracy the duration of the war ; but surely the inevitable uncertainty is bad enough, without being aggravated by the inconsiderate speeches of the Foreign Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or by the incessant folly and malice poured out from day to day in the leading columns of the t imes. (Hear.) But I say that this course, besides doing no kind of good, is making an enemy of a great nation, and sacrificing interests which our statesmen ought zealously to guard. Notwith standing any complaint on this score, I am willing to admit that the world, even in our time, is moving on. Within the last two years we have seen two events which posterity will regard as very impor tant. In Russia serfdom has been pat in the way of extinction by the act of the Emperor of Russia and his Government ; in the United States, by the most wonderful series of events, there is evidently coming to pass that which no man dared hope for three years ago as likely to be approached during the lifetime of any one of us. I see from the List unto the West, from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof, in spite of what misled, preju diced, unjust, and wicked men may do, the cause of freedom still moving:onward ; and it is not in hu man power to arrest its progress, "For God from evil still educes good, And Freedom's seed still grows, the' steeped in blood." And, coming back to our own country from this review, I should say there is much to be done here ; and in this observation—l speak of members of your Chamber who aro not of any one political party—there are gentlemen here who, even if they give me credit for honesty and conscientiousness in my course, yet think me mistaken and dangerous in the propositions which I make to my fellow countrymen ; but being here, as we are, of various political parties, may I not say thus much, that if we were to shun a party spirit, if we were to exa mine questions fairly and carefully, if we were to endeavour to decide them truthfully, we might have hope that we should do much to elevate our people, to improve our institutions, to make broader and safer the foundations of our freedom, and to build up and preserve a commonwealth which should do much to help forward the advancement of the world. (Cheers.) the English Government is anxious for a united Italy to be a counterpoise to France, surely it would also be a great advantage to us, in the same sense, to have a close ally and friend in Spain. That, how ever, you never can have, as long as you hold a por tion of her territory, taken from her and kept from her under circumstances reflecting no honour upon England, especially when it is almost universally admitted that that rock is of no use whatever to ourselves. If England were to become more moral, more just, her influence among the nations would be largely increased, and it would no longer be possible for General Peel, Secretary for War under Lord Derby's Government, to tell his constituents at Huntingdon with truth that England is detested by every country in Europe. (Hear, hear.) There is only one other question to which I sha, refer. I have heard that the working men of Bir mingham have subscribed about £3,000 towards the relief of their suffering countrymen in Lancashire. Well, that is a very honourable thing for Birming ham ; and I am only sorry that every one of the men who thus nebly subscribed has not his name on your register of electors, and is not enabled to give his free vote at the poll for my hon. colleague and myself. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) In Lancashire there is now the strangest paralysis probably ever seen in any seat of industry. The American war was com- menced—the one contending party refused to expor cotton, and burnt not a little of it ; the other block The health of the French Consul, M. Verdier do Latour, was then given by Mr. J. D. Goodman, and briefly acknowledged. "Prosperity to the Town and Trade of Birming ham" and one or two other toasts having been pro posed, the proceedings terminated. ado.' the ports, so that cotton should not escape. The result is that gradually the stocks of cotton have been consumed in this country and throughout the world, except that which remains in the United States ; and what that quantity is nobody knows, with any pretence of accuracy. At the same time everybody believes there is a large stock in the South. It is estimated variously at from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 bales. I believe that whenever it comes CARDINAL ANTONELLL — Sir G. Bowyer, in a letter to the Times, says—ln your correspondence from Italy of this day Cardinal Antonelli is described as nephew of Gasparone, who was a notorious bandit. I feel it m y duty to state that Cardinal Antonelli is not in any way connected with any such person. The cardinal is the representative of a family of highly respectable and wealthy country gentlemen, possessing extensive landed property near Terracina. His father was the youngest of three brothers, and, dying, he left the future cardinal a ward of his two uncles. By them he was made to enter the I.gal profession. On the death of his two uncles he inherited the family estates, and was thereby placed in a position of in dependence and wealth. He, however, continued his pro fessional career, in which his extraordinary talents enabled him to rise rapidly to high places, until he became, what he is now, one of the most eminent statesmen in Europe. I do not think it worth while to notice the other charges and insinuations contained in the correspondent's letter. I trust that you will print this letter, as it regards no m atter of opinion, but a mete matter of fact with which I am per fectly acquainted, and whi c h affects the honour of an illus trious person and a distinguished family.

At half-past four a.m. the bailiffs,ten in number, fell in with th e poac h ers, who we re a ll di s guised and armed with sticks, at a pl ace on th e public road a little above the town, called Hemphaugb, the same locality where a serious fight took place last year. The n umber of black fishers is not known, but they outnumbered ftohreemriovsetropf the police by at lea s t t wo to one. A seizure of th e gang was at once made, a man wearing a woman's cap, with a red and white muffler round his throat, The bailiffs were at once assailed with large stones and sticks, and a terrible struggle took place for the possession of the prisoner. After fighting for about twenty minutes the prisoner was forcibly rescued from the hands of the police, who were beaten tack and compelled to leave the ground. A bailiff, named Joseph Ross, was badly cut on the head and bruised on the body, and was on Wednes day lying at the Victorial Hotel so seriously ill that the medical attendant has prohibited any one from seeing him. As yet none of the poachers have been identified. Others of the bailiffs also received various injuries. The poachers had been " burning the water" above Ashiestiel boat-pool during the night. —Scotsman. it will turn out very much less than the higher esti mate, but that stock being locked up in Amerira, with prices at four times their ordinary rate, you can conceive how much the interests of all who are engaged in the cotton trade are concerned in the time when that stock shall be liberated. East India cotton commonly called Surat, which sells ordinarily at from 3d. to 4d. per lb., now sells at from ls. 3d. to is. Sd., and American, which is ordinarily 6d. Pe r lb. , is now at more than 2q. A b ale of cotton, which used to cost £lO or £l2, now costs £5O. The advice of an armistice in America and the cessation of the war with a view to negotiation would produce a great fall and great ruin; and the apprehension of this necessarily interferes very much with the course of business: Now I complain of the official politicians of this country. Last session there was a motion in the House of Lords against the block ade, and the Foreign Secretary made a speech in which he showed that the blockade was very effective, and he concluded his remarks in a very careless manner, as if he were really not think ing of what he was saying, by stating that he hoped in a few months the North would con sent to the independence of the South, when,_ of Lanca shire Course, this country would wish prosperity States. Well, what waa the effect of this n shire ? Everybody there thinks ecro , a it .

The consequence was that when the news reached the Exchange at Manchester everybody wanted b sell and no one to buy. I know a man who was just then taking stock w i t h a partner whom ho was then about to leave, and the effect of that speech was, by a stroke of the pen, to depreciate his share of the business by more than £2,000. Again, there was the speech of Mr. Gladstone at Newcastle. I know the case of a man who a week before bought 300 bales of cotton in Liverpool, intending to work them up, calculating that he would be able to keep his mills going till Christmas. The moment he read the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech he sent word to his 'broker THE AUSTRIAN DEPARTMENT OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—In consequence of the interest and. indefatigable zeal displayed by Dr. SchwaTz in connexim with the Austrian depa r t men t of the International Exhi., bition, the Emperor of Austria has conferred upon him the.

THE CHARING CROSS RAILWAY.—At the Sheriff's Court, Red Lion-square, yesterday, before Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell, the compensation case, " Marshall v. the Charing-cross Railway," was resumed and con cluded. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., was for the claimant, and Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., for the company. The claim, which, as originally made, was £5,924, was in respect of the loss of business in Hungerford• street, and the expense attending the purchase of other premises near the Lo wther-arcado, in the Strand. Mr. Marshall hid been a confectioner and baker in liungerferd-street for 27 years, and had a lease for 11 years unexpired at £lOO a year of premises worth £2lO, Ho had netted as clear profit £l,lOO a year, of which £520 was derived from chance custom About sold on o ne or t wo occas i ons 5 , 000 b uns a day.

The jury, after deliberation, assessed the compensation at s ro p r ec t i h a e l jurymen) £3,000. poses 1 am not giving the right complexion to the subject, I would ask him to refer to the motion with respect to it which was last session made by Mr. llorsfall ; in speaking upon which I explained the cause of the proposition made in the Congress of Paris as I have explained it to-night. I may add that Lord Palmerston and Mr. Disraeli seemed to accept that explanation as the true one ; and it must, therefore, I think, be admitted as one which is not to be controverted. Under all the circumstances of the case, therefore, it appears to me that the best course is to go for ward. You cannot go backward; you have still the United States, with its great mercantile marine, to take into account, and whatever may be the issue of the present strife, you may take it for granted that the free States of America will stand in the first rank as a maritime Power, that being the reason which led to the change at the opening of the Russian war, and which still continues in force; and it would, I think, be wiser aed more libe ral, more philosophic and more humane, to look for ward with a view to progress, rather than to make a retrograde step is the interpretation of interna tional law as between belligerents. There is another and a kindred question in which I should wish briefly to touch. I mean the question of blockade. It is the question which does not usually press very ur gently on a nation at peace; hut our attention is directed to it now because of the blockade of the Southern ports, and of theinterrupticn of commerce between - them and this country which has in conse quence been occasioned. It, however, involves con siderations with respect to which it is undesirable we should decide absolutely without very earnest and careful consideration. My hon. friend's argument is that taking ships at sea, as the Alabama is taking those of the Federal States now, is a description of warfare less horrible than cannonading a town. He says that we are bound to make a war as harassing as we can to those to whom we are opposed, and that then the people engaged in commerce and industrial pursuits generally affected by it will entreat their Government to put an end to it. Lord Palmerston, on the other hand, maintains that no nation is induced to sue for peace as the result of any embarrassment to its commerce; and no far I believe he is right, for I, for one, do not think you can bring any nation, in op position to its own passions or supposed rights and interests, to consent to peace by the destruction or capture of its vessels. The moment you have a dis turbance such as war creates, the moment you have a host of your merchants whose interest it is that the contest be prolonged, the moment you getlarge stocks and high prices, that moment you have a party whose material welfare is deeply involved in its continu ance. What, for instance, would be the result to many men in Liverpool if the news were now to arrive that an armistice had taken place between the contending forces in America ? Ruin to several who to-day consider themselves to be rolling in wealth would be the consequence. It does not, therefore, follow that because war disturbs com merce you are to bring the commercial element of a country vigorously to bear in favour of its cessa- tion. The great body of the people, those who are struggling to live on from 10s. to 30s. a week, may complain of war and the evils which it entails, but you never find in the history of this country or any other that the mercantile classes strongly urge upon their Government the necessity of making peace when once war with all its horrors has broken out. Now, with respect to the question of blockade, I may observe that so far as the European Powers are concerned, it must appear perfectly clear that the blockade is at an end. You could not blockade Russia during the European war, for her commerce passed through Prussia. You could not blockade Prussia nor France nor Spain nor Italy nor Austria. Seeing that the railways of Europe enter into and pass out of every considerable country on the conti- nent, it is pretty evident that unless you go to war with them all—a view of the matter which I am sorry to see some Englishmen uphold—(a laugh)— a blockade is virtually of little use. As to the United States, it seems to me that a blockade in that quarter is absolutely impossible, and my opi nion therefore is, with regard to the question of in ternational law and the question of blockade—at war though my opinions on these subjects may be with tradition and those which many Englishmen entertain—l yet believe that the more these ques tions are thoroughly investigated the more we are driven to the conclusion that it is the interest of all nations, and especially of England, instead of going back - ward, to render its action more humane and more in accordance with the moral code. Who opposes these alterations ? The Government of England only. Rassia and France would have ac• cepted the propositions of the United States with regard to free ships as well as free cargoes, and so far as putting an end to everything like a commer cial blockade. If war were made less savage, the passions of men less aroused, and peace made more possible, as I think it would be by means of the change which I have indicated, then the minds of men would, when difficulties happened to spring up between nation and nation, be directed to other modes of settling their disputes than a resort to arms. As it is, we are not advanced in point of fact much beyond the savage Red Indian. Twelve months ago, for instance, when this country was told through its press that an ir_sult was offered to it, though no insult was meant, we did not wait to know whether it was intended to insult us or not, but we sent 10,000 men across the Atlantic to threaten a nation which could put a million of men under arms. If a different temper would prevail, and if, when a dispute happened to arise between us and France, or Russia, or the United States, men would in the first instance look to some mode of settlement of the d:spute other than an appeal to arms, my opinion is that the difficulty might be smoothed over much more speedily and with an ex penditure of blood and treasure far less costly than in 99 cases out of 100 we now arrive at. (Cheers.) I admit that I have formed strong opinions on this subject. I make due allowance for all those who take a contrary view, and I would advise no Cham ber of Commerce to commit itself hastily to a deci sion on the point one way or the other. Our states. men are fearful of going beyond the prejudices of the people they govern, and are as full of supersti tion as the rest of us in many things. One of our poets says,— " Old politicians preach on wisdom past, And totter on in business to the last." Statesmen who commenced their public career during the great war with France are not likely at their time of life to hold opinions so very dif ferent from those which they first found in vogue ; still I must say that Lord Palmerston did on one occasion, at Liverpool, express opinions entirely in accord with those I am now uttering. I suppose he found that he had gone a little too,far for Lord Derby or Lord Russell, and therefore he was obliged last Session to go back a little, and speak and vote against that which he had himself advo cated, or at least had hoped for in strong language, when addressing the merchants of Liverpool. Yet even these old statesmen learn something. We have lately had an instance of this, which is very conso latory to me. I allude to their willingness to cede the lonian I s l an d s to Greece. That li tt l e Republic is occupi e d b y a populat i on not grea t er than the whole of Bi rm i ng h am , an d w hi c h i s very turbulent islands, and ill aff e ct e d t owar d s ou r rule. T he moreover, involved us in heavy expens e, and 1 think it is very wise in our Gover n ment, and highly honourable to the Queen, to ha ve consente d to the proposal which has been made to the Piovisional Government of Greece on this matter. It Shows ity Which ilas coat that the rapacity for te rritor y h as been pretty much satiated in this country —a us countless thousands.. rapacity of lives, and countless mil lions of treasure. It shows also that there is a growth of sound opinion throughout the world, be cause I believe that wherever the knowledge of that proposition has come, although some may have wished it had not been made, yet every man has Messrs. Bright and Scholefield at Bi, _ /Eng ham. 13IRMING1IANI, THURSDAY NIGIIT. The second anniversary dinner of the Birming ham Chamber of Commerce was held at the Hen and Chickens Hotel, Birmingham, this evening. Mr. Gee. Dixon, vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, occupied the chair, and among the guests were Mr. J. Bright and Mr. Seholefield, as borough members. Apologies for their absence on the occasion were received from Mr. Spooner, M.P., Mr. Forster, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, M.P., and Mr. Sheridan, M.P. The healths of the " Queen," and " The Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family" having been duly honoured, Mr. A. RYLAND proposed "The Members for the Borough," expressing the pleisure with which the Chamber of Commerce welcomed those gentlemen to their festive board. The toast was drunk with great cordiality. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, as the senior member, first re sponded. After referring to various questions de serving the attention of the Chamber of Commerce, he alluded to the alterations made in international law by the declaration of Paris of 1856, especially as regarded neutral rights. Those changes he had always thought to be full of hazard, and they had been effected in an irregular, not to say unconstitu tional manner, Parliament not having been con • suited in regard to them; but it was new proposed to carry these alterations further, by exempting the merchant ships of beleigerents from capture altoge ther. Now, so long as war should be deep: d the ultimo ratio between contending nations, se long would it be incumbent upon us to use every n casure to make it mere humane and less a thing of blood shed and carnage. At the present moment the inte rests of commerce operate favourably in two ways —first, in averting war ; and secondly, in limiting its duration, when once declared, to the shortest possible time. The moment rumours of war began to spread the influence of commercial men was brought to bear upon the Government in urging the utmost moderation, coolness, and judgment; and when war had begun the same influence urged upon the Government every means of conciliation— every means of bringing about an amicable arrange and you at once on their part. went. withdraw Free t h t e h ei rsh p motivess from ca h c iasp actiont re, War would then become a mete naval and military duel, in which the nation that could afford to spend most money and sacrifice the largest number of lives would be the winner. Property, it is true, would be saved, but human life would be spent in proportion. It was said that we don't confiscate property on land and why should we at sea ? The answer was not very difficult. We could not cripple the general commerce of an enemy by isolated attacks on pro perty by land in the immediate neighbourhood of our armies, but we could almost destroy his com merce by seizing his property at sea. Moreover, it was not the interest of a General to confiscate pro perty on land, for every such confiscation only added to his difficulties, by multiplying hisenemies around him ; but wherever it was his interest to do this de pend upon it he never had hesitated. At the pre sent moment we had an instance before us of the most gigantic confiscation of property on land that ever occurred. President Lincoin had, avowedly as a war measure, confiscated the slave property of every state in rebellion against the Union. (Hear.) There were other considerations which he might urge, such as that of allowing an enemy's commerce to flourish, and thus literally feed up his resources for carrying on war against you. He might also refer to the special interests of a maritime nation with a comparatively small army, but he did not wish to enter on an exhaustive argument, or to do more than merely call their attention to this im portant subject, and indicate in general terms his own views upon it as one of their representatives. (Cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT, who was received with cheers, said _ _ —Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—l feel great plea sure in being here to night, and in being greeted as I have been with that Cordial welcome which has always been accorded tome ever since I have become connected with Birmingham. I must say, however, that I shonld have spent a still more pleasant evening had I anticipated that I was tocome here to listen and not to speak. Just now I find it extremely difficult to determine what are the politics which are likely to prove interesting in the least degree, on an occasion like the present, to those whom I have the i honour to address. My hon. friend has, tis true, found no difficulty upon this score. I quite envy the felicity with which he has touched upon those subjects to which he has' adverted, although there is one question which I fear I am not likely to regard in the same light as that in which he looks upon it. I asked before I came here a mem ber of the Chamber of Commerce whether there was any point on which he thought it :particularly do sirs ble that I should make any remarks, but without receiving any satisfactory solution of the question. It seemed to me the t the subject of bankruptcy re form was one on which it might be desirable that some comment should be made, but I have come to the conclusion that that -reform—very much like others in this country—leaves us precisely in the same position as we were. There is, however, another question —one of international law—to which my hon. friend has referred, which, although it is of considerable importance, does not seem to me to press upon our attention very much at this moment. International law is not very clearly de fined, and the various contradictory opinions which have been expressed, with a view to elucidation, have tended to puzzle, rather than to inform, un learned persons; but, as my hon. friend has alluded to what was done at the Congress of Paris, I may be allowed to say that the Ambassadors of the prin cipal European Powers represented at that Congress agreed to a certain alteration of practice in regard to some points of international law—an alteration which obtained the assent of, I think, every civilised and Christian nation, with the exception of the United States, the Government of which proposed to accept a portion of the propositions of the Con gress of Paris, while it did not wish to assent o one of them in the shape in which it was offered. Now, my hon. friend seems to think that an attemnt will be made to undo in Parliament that which was ac complished at the Congress of Paris; but I very much doubt whether that will be the case. The fact is that that which was done at Paris was not done because our Government particularly liked it, but because there was no other mode of get tieg out of the difficulty by which their repre sentatives as well as those of the otber European Powers were sutrounded. You recollect, when the war with Russia—a war which, I suppose, most persons now wish had never broken out—com menced, the Queen then issued a proclamation that the rights of this country as a belligerent nation would bo abandoned during the war, and that the property of Russia, if in neutral vessels, would be safe. The reason why the Government of England came to that conclusion Was this —that when the Russian war began she was not, to use an insolent phrase, mistress of the seas, 'while it was felt by England and. France that if the old policy of cap turing the goods of belligerents in neutral vessels were adhered to with respect to the vessels of the United States six months would not elapse before we should have to fight, not Russia alone but that country. It was for that reason, and for that reason only, that our Government assented to the procla mation which was then issued ; for that reason, and that only, it was that the proposition which was adopted at the Congress of Paris was made the law of Europe for all future time. That being ,I do not believe there will be any alteration in t :le de claration then made in the se nse of goingback wards. lat once admit , however, that note , ng can be mere absurd than the point at which tie.
