EDINBURGH, Wednesday. To-day the freedom of the city of Edinburgh was conferred on Lieutenant-General Lord Napier of Magdala, in the Music-hall, in the presence of a large assemblage. The Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council wore their official robes. Lord and Lady Napier were loudly eheerei on entering the hall. Lord Provost UHAMBERS, in presenting the free dom of the city to Lord Napier, said one of the old usages of the Corporation consisted in conferring the freedom of the city, as a token of respect and goodwill, on persons distinguished in statesman ship, arts, science, literature, and arms, who might come among them. He was quite sure that in his lordship's acceptance of this honour the Corpora tion would itself feel honoured. He knew nothing which could have reflected greater honour on the British arms than the marvellous success of the Abyssinian expedition. As citizens of Edinburgh they welcomed his lordship to Scotland, and trusted he might be long spared to his family and to the public service. He would ever consider it as one of the most memorable circumstances of his official life that he was the means of placing the certificate of burgesship in the hands of Lieutenant-General Lord Napier of Magdala. (Cheers.) Lord NAPIER, who was loudly cheered, said he received with pride and gratitude the privilege con ferred upon him in making him a burgess of this ancient and celebrated city. Viewing the privilege thus conferred as a mark that in the estimation of the inhabitants of this great and enlightened city he and his naval and military brethren in arms had faithfully served their country in the late expedi tion, he felt that no higher honour than that could be conferred upon him under the sanction of our most gracious Sovereign the Queen. (Cheers.) He was far from arrogating to himself the success of the expedition. It succeeded, under many difficul ties, because each and all in their several places strove to do their duty—(cheers)—and because they acted under the guidance of a merciful Divine Providence. (Cheers.) The privilege just con ferred upon him was one for which he felt specially. grateful. Ile had always felt that his name be longed to Scotland. (Cheers.) It had been borne by many honourable and some great and distin guished men, and he had endeavoured, as far as in him lay, to maintain its repute. (Cheers.) He had often thought of the wonderful influence which the inhabitants of this, he might say small and rugged, though beautiful country, exercised upon the welfare not of Great Britain alone, but on all the countries where the flag of Great Britain waved. He was of opinion that this influence possessed by Scotland was attributable, in the first place, to a deep reverence of sacred subjects which dwelt in the hearts of the people. (Cheers.) No doubt it had been said that the Scotch talked a great deal about religion, and that some classes in Scotland liked whisky—(laughter) —but nothing had ever convinced him that there was not a deep-seated reverence for religion and a deep-seated spirit of religion in the masses of the people of Scotland, which had elevated their views and conduced greatly to their rectitude of conduct and purity of mind—(cheers) —and next to this spirit he attributed Scotland's position to the great and liberal facility of education which was within the reach of every class. (Cheers.) Without enter ing into the vexed question of the merits of the English and Scotch Universities, each of which he thought had excellences suited to the several coun tries, he might express the admiration he felt for that system which placed within the reach of every man in the land, however humble, not only a good I education, but a broad, liberal education, embracing natural, practical philosophy ; and this it was, he thought, which had sent forth from Scotland so large a number of highly-educated men in every branch and every profession. (Cheers.) In conclu sion, he said they must all be convinced that one of the greatest enemies, if not the greatest, in all com munities was ignorance, and as to the honour con ferred upon him to-day he felt doubly exalted in receiving it from the hands of the man who was the first in Great Britain to place cheap instruction and instructive literature in the hands of the poorest iu the country. (Cheers.) Cheers were then Oren lot Lord and Lady. NATIONAL ORPHAN HOME, Ham-co mmon , Richmond, Surrey. Foundod 1819. Enlarged 1861.

To-day is generally reg trdcd as the '' great day" of the rejoicings in honour of the c nning of age of .the Marquis of Bite, who was publicly received this morning on his arrival from S3otland, and in a way which must have been mist gratifying to the distinguishel gu-s! . , as it was creditable to the town. His lordship arrived last nigh. at Bristol at 12.20 from Sc)tland, per rail, en route to this port. Having made a short stay at Bristol the marquis proceeded in a carriage and pair to Portishead, which place he left this morning at 3.20, and ar rived in the Channel, off Cardiff, in his yacht Lady bird at 8.20. He was met in the Channel by a flotilla of 40 steamers, and a similar number of steamers having the same number of pilot boats in tow, the gale blowing fresh at the time. In this order the yacht was escorted from the Channel to the low-water pier, where a temporary lauding-stage had been erected for the purpose of the debarkation and reception. The marquis was received at the landing-pier by Mr. Reece, Mayor of Cardiff, his worship being ac companied by the members of the corporation. Mr. Boyle, the acting trustee for the Bute estate, was also iir - immediate attendance. A procession was then formed, which was met near the Mount Stuart Hotel by upwards of 4,000 members of the various local benefit and friendly societies, dressed in the insignia of their order, bearing flags and banners, and accompanied by brass bands, the whole of which throughout the proceedings played exclusively Scotch national airs. The streets were densely crowded as the proces sion moved along on its way from the docks, through Bute-road, Caroline-street, St. Mary-street, and High-street, the line of route being decorated with flags, banners, and appropriate devices. His Lord ship was vigorously cheered by the people as the carriage in which he sat moved slowly through the dense mass, and he bowed his acknowledgments continuously as cheer after cheer accompanied him on his way. On arriving at Cardiff Castle an address was presented to his Lordship on behalf of the Mayor and Corporation of the town. The address, which was read by Mr. Salmon, the town clerk, and pre sented by the Mayor, was as follows : " To THE MOST HON. THE MARQUIS OF BUTE, EARL OF WINDSOR, BARON CARDIFF, OF CARDIFF CASTLE, &C. " We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Cardiff, desire, as well on our own behalf as on that of the town we represent, to offer to your lordship our most sincere and hearty con gratulations upon the arrival of that period in your lordship's life when you have to undertake the re sponsibilities of your vastinheritance,and participate in the legislation of this great country. It is super fluous for us to acknowledge how largely this town is indebted for its high commercial position, for its many charitable and public institutions, and for all that tends to the prosperity and happiness of the people, to the forethought, enterprise, benevolence, and sympathy of the lamented nobleman whose name you bear. From the day which closed his valued life those to whom the management of his extensive and important properties was entrusted have most ably carried out the great designs of his distinguished mind, and while duly protecting the estate confi led to their care, have materially bene fited this town, in which his lordship took so much interest. 'We repeat our warm congratulations upon your lordship's accession to your noble in heritance, and we pray that, under the blessing of Divine Providence, you may long be spared to con c....in its enjoyment, and that, following in tho steps of your honoured father, it may bc so ad ministered as to promote your lordship's own hap piness and conduce to the welfare of this important town and district. " Given under our common seal this 16th day of September, 1868." Lord BUTE briefly thanked the Corporation for the good wishes expressed in the address, and said it was more gratifying to him to receive such a guarantee of the good feeling of the inhabitants as that which he had received that morning, together with the expressions embodied in the address just presented, than it was for him to know that he had come into the possession of his inheritance. He was fully sensible of the many important duties which had devolved upon him, and he would promise sin cerely to do his best to fulfil those duties with credit to himself and to the satisfaction and advantage of those by whom he was surrounded. His lordship was enthusiastically cheered as he passed into the castle, accompanied by Colonel Stuart, M.P., and several ladies of the gallant Colonel's family. At 2 o'clock there was a grand banquet in the large yard of the Messrs. Batchelor Brothers, ship builders, which had been placed at the disposal of the committee by the owners. It was called " the tradesmen's and working men's banquet," and up wards of 4,000 tradesmen and others sat down to dine. The chair was taken by Mr. G. T. Clark, High Sheriff of the county, and there were also pre sent the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Liandaff, the Marquis of Bute, 11. H. Vivian, M.P., Colonel Stuart, M.P., EL A. Bruce, M.P., Colonel Camp bell, L. L. Dillwyn, M.P., Messrs. Boyle, Giffard, and others of the principal gentry of the county. The CHAIRMIN, after the usual loyal toasts had been disposed of, proposed " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," which was severally responded to by Colonel Campbell and Captain Johnson, dock master. The toasts of " The Bishop, Clergy, and Mini sters of all denominations," was responded to by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Llandaff ; the Rev. John Davies, Independent minister ; and Father Clarke, the Roman Catholic priest. Mr. J. EVANS, a working man, proposed the health of the Marquis of Bute. The toast was re ceived with loud and long-continued cheering. The Marquis of BUTE, in responding, was en thusiastically received. He said that when he saw the manifold responsibilities that had recently de volved upon him he felt almost crushed beneath their weight ; but he was determined not to be crushed, and hoped, with the assistance of his friends and neighbours, to make his position useful and advantageous to all around him. He thanked them all heartily and sincerely for the goodwill they had shown him, and was determined, by the help of Providence, to devote his life to the development of those facilities which had been vouchsafed to him for making people happier, better, purer, and more prosperous than they were. (Applause.) Several other toasts were proposed and responded to, and the proceedings, which were of a most en thusiastic character, were brought to a close. In the afternoon there was a grand review and inspection of Volunteers, together with a distribu tion of prizes to Volunteers. In the evening there was a " county dinner" to Lord Bute in the Drill-ball, the Iligh Sheriff in the chair. The town was brilliantly illuminated, and thousand of visitors thronged the streets during the early part of the night. The town was also pro fusely decorated, and cannon were fired at intervals during the day. Special trains were run on all the lines, and extraordinary facilities were afforded by the Great Western Railway particularly. THE TE3IPLE CHURCH.—It is announced that this church will be reopened for divine service on Sunday, the 4th of Qctoboir. SPIRIT OP TEE PM3LIO4OtrEy_ALI3. The rimed can hardly think that Mr. Roebuck's chance of re-election is imperilled by his demeanour as a Trades Union Commissioner. The accusation of carelessness of party ties is a graver one. For a politician to " fight for his own hand " is generally more agreeable to his own vanity than to his constituents. A constituency might be held justified in stigmatising as a mutineer an ordinary: representative who should desert his camp, and announce himself as a new party, whether by the style of " Imperial ist " or any other name. Mr. Roebuck is, however, not an ordinary representative. What would be absurd in an, ordinary politician is not absurd in him, for, in a certain way, he is a party in himself, and has done the work of one, though without any sworn followers. Sheffield has valued him and taken pride in him—most properly, we think— on this very account, and, at any rate, it does not lie in its mouth, at this late period, to call out "Treason" at him for taking up a position apart in respect of Reform or otherwise. We ourselves have not been in the habit of considering his genius as of the constructive order. He is certainly an insubordinate Liberal. But, on the other hand, it is undeniable that, though a somewhat reckless champion, he has fought valiantly in his time for Reform. Still further, if he be to be turned out now by old posses sors of the franchise for disobedience to party discipline, we wonder on what principles they can have found it lawful to return him formerly. To reject him on such a ground is to condemn themselves in the past. This is not a time for the borough of Sheffield to make the experiment of depriving the country of a passionate earnestness, energy, and shrewdness like his for the petty sin of impatience when running in party harness. The Herald is happy to find that a suggestion whichwas offered for the improvement of the Poor-law in April 1864, and which was subsequently embodied in Mr. Hardy's Poor law Amended Bill, has at length been carried into opera tion under the direction of Lord Devon. This sugges. tion—the appointment of extra guardians by the Poor-law Board—has been carried out in the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal Green, where five gentlemen of acknowledged position have been nominated by the board. The para mount advantage achieved by the change in the law is to be found in the fact that gentlemen of standing and position are perfectly willing to undertake the arduous duty imposed upon them, and to devote their time to its performance, when called upon, as they now are, to aed in a labour of love ; while, whatever might be their regret at witnessing the mismanagement of the poor house, they would have shrunk from seeking to ameliorate it by presenting themselves as candidates in a contest for seats at the local board in which they perfectly well knew they were certain to be defeated. Their presence at the deliberation of the union guardians must be productive of the happiest results, for their unquestion able respectability will command attention for their recom- mendations, while the ratepayers will have a guarantee against unnecessary extravagance in the fact that they will be themselves the largest contributors to the fund they administer, We have only to hope that the good example now set may be promptly followed up in every instance in which it may be found necessary to infuse new blood into the local boards ; and that so soon as time permits the Poor-law Board to devote its attention to the condition of the deserving casual paupers, and to the removal from our public places of that horde of filthy idle vagabonds who disgrace us in the eyes of foreigners, while preying on the earnings of the industrious. The Post is not quite satisfied with the Order in Council prohibiting the importation of American hay on account of the cattle plague in the United States. While it may be admitted that the Privy Council had sufficient prim! facie grounds for adopting precautionary measures, even to the extent of prohibiting the importation of the hay, what can be thought of their adding to the order a rider which, while it practically leaves the prohibition in force, virtually nullifies the provisions designed for the safety of the public? The third clause of the order permits hay brought from America to be landed for consumption " by horses only, upon obtaining a license under the authority of the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council," and the transmission of the hay "to such person or persons, or place or places, as in the said license shall be mentioned." Now, either the hay is considered dangerous or it is not : if the latter, of course no question arises ; but if the former, then it certainly seems that it should be entirely secluded, for supposing licenses have been duly obtained, and that the suspected hay has been obtained by the owners of horses, they cannot possibly be prevented from feeding their cattle with it if it should please them to do so. And even if they had no wish or intention of acting in contra. vention of the Order in Council, it would manifestly be impossible for them to prevent their servants doing so. Besides, if the American hay continued lower in price than the home-grown, there can be little doubt that if through the provisions of the clause in question the bay were obtainable for horses, it would be quickly distributed by unprincipled speculators for the use of cattle, mixed up with English hay or otherwise disguised. .Supposing, then, that it were possible for cattle to becom e diseased through eating the American hay, and that several cases in consequence occurred, from sad experience it is but too well known that an alarming spread of the cattle plague would not improbably follow. The Standard can hardly agree with M. Guizot in accounting for the prevailing uneasiness in France purely by the indecision, real or apparent, of the Government. A successful war, if it pleases anyone in France, will please the army and the masses of the people. But are not these well contented already with the Imperial regime? It cannot be the Emperor's purpose to go to war merely to gratify a romantic longing on the part of his supporters. Why, then, does the Government appear to be so irresolute, and whence all this anxiety about the future ? It must be because the mass of the people themselves are restless for war. They are uneasy because they are eager for the worst. They are full of suspicion because they know what is in their own mind. This is the true danger to Europe, which M. Guizot does not seem to us to have sufficiently apprehended. The indecision of the Imperial Govern. ment is only the reflex of the popular anxiety. There is unquestionably among the army at large, and among a large section of the rural population, a morbid craving for an excitement which seems to be periodically neces- sary to the Gallic mind. The Crimean war, the Italian war, the Mexican war, might have been enterprises which it was within the power of the Emperor's will to control ; but the war upon which the thoughts and imagina. tions of all France are now bent is a war of the people, the burden of the responsibility of which ought not to be cast upon the Emperor alone. Under existing circumstances the Telegraph agrees that it is a European event that M. Guizot should have come forward as a witness to the policy of peace. As the distin- guished statesman points out, a war between France and Prussia would at the present moment be particularly mischievous and unprofitable, since it would imperil the very interests for which it would be under- taken. To the Emperor it might be dangerous, by submitting his dynasty to the hostility that would inevitably follow a reverse ; to the material interests of France it would be destructive, by interrupting that un exampled commercial prosperity which she has experienced during the Imperial reign ; and to Germany it would bring the most pernicious results, by interfering with that _ . _ process of national consolidation which can be completed only after years of peace. Such is the interpretation con- spicuously put forward in Paris by the official organ ; and such is the testimony of M. Guizot. The Daily News thinks the victory of the Republicans in the State of Maine is probably indicative of the total result of the autumnal elections. American politicians look with some anxiety to the Maine elections. Vermont, which votes first, is known beforehand to be overwhelm- ingly Republican, but Maine is divided. Its people are all ardent politicians, and they fight their annual battle with the rugged earnestness of Northmen. It is scarcely a question which shall have Maine, as the Republicans have been pretty sure of it of late ; but the question is— will it be carried by an increased or by a diminished majority? A loss in Maine shows a declining cause; a gain shews rising fortunes. In 1866 the Republican victories began by a majority in Maine of more than 27,000 ; the reaction of last year was indicated by the reduction of the majority to less than 12,000. This year the majority has again risen to 18,000, and all over the country the hopes of the Republicans have risen with it. Probably these figures indicate pretty nearly the state of public opinion all through the Northern States. The result of those elections cannot be considered doubtful; but the Republi cans feel that they need all their care, and the Democrats are not altogether hopeless. The nomination of General Grant has not raised the enthusiasm the Republicans expected, nor has the nomination of Mr. Seymour been as fatal to the Democrats as it was foretold it would be. Measures are more than men, and principles are greater than persons in the politics of an instructed people. Party allegiance, too, is extremely strong in the United States, and though there is a floating mass of Opinion which may be drawn to one side or the other by caprice, or accident, or enthusiasm, the great bulk of the people belong to one party or the other, and do not forsake it for a single blunder. It was thought that General Grant would march to Washington as easily as General M'Clellan thought to march on Richmond ; but it is clear that every inch of the way will have to be fought, though probably with such results as have followed the great struggle which has ended in a great victory in Maine. The Stain/an/ says the whole power of the Republican party has been concentrated in Maine, one of its natural strongholds, and we need not be surprised that they hav e secured a large majority in consequence. If the Republi cans had lost there would have been some reason for assuming that the Presidential election was decided, for they would have been beaten on their own ground. We have never attempted to predict which side will win lathe end, and, so far as England is concerned, it signifies very little, so far as we can foresee, whether M r . S eymour or General Grant is President. But it would have been a great mistake to have allowed the conviction to gain ground that the Democrats are a powerless and shattered, party. Victorious as the Republicans have been in Maine, they have found out that all their str e ngth id ti ant kllikkAkt DCLUPGratic Pt9grtlik:
