SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS . FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—If rumour is to be believed, Lord Palmerston's present feelines towards Lord J. Russell strongly resemble those ;filch Lord Thurlow expressed towards George 111. in 1792, when the King unexpectedly consented to his unceremonious dismissal. " I never," was his exclamation, " thought that he would have parted with me EO easily." " man has a right to treat Boothe. in the way in which he has treated me ; we cannot neet in the same room again." So long and so far as the recent change in the Cabinet shall be discussed as a purely personal or party question' the chances ere that the Premier will have the worst of the argument, and it will be no easy matter for him to state the substantial rea sons for the move, without a damaging admission of former error and obstinacy. If we are not misin • formed, the Viscount may safely call for formal proofs—in the shape of dispatches or official communications —for fis alleged support of arbitrary principles or unconstitutional proceed ings in France ; and as to any hasty, ill-con sidered, or ill-understood expressions which he may have let drop, he will neutralise their force, or boldly negative any unfavourable inference that may be drawn from them, by a ccnfident appeal to the broad, palpable, and recognised features of his policy, from which he could no longer recede without disgrace. The data of his alleged personal approval of the coup etat —said to be within forty-eight hours after its occurrence—will go far to mitigate the censures of his liberal or ultra-liberal friends, and these will readily accept, as an excuse for such an indiscretion, his assurance that he hailo the French Dictator rather as an enemy of the anarchical factions—who, if they had got uppermost, were sure (he will say) to have co-operated with Russia and Austria—than as a military autocrat and a budding absolutist. A schism has already broken out amongst the habitual supporters of the Government on these points, and the prudence of lopping off its main limb at the present juncture is loudly and angrily disputed by the majority. On the other hand, most reflecting and disinterested politicians will side with Lord John Russell, or merely limit their praise of his late display of firmness and decision by a regret that it was postponed till so much mischief had been done. They will understand, in a restricted and qua lified sense, the Ministerial announcement that the business of the Foreign-office, under Lord Granville, will be conducted as nearly as possible in the same spirit, and with the same ulterior views, as under his able, indefatigable, and energetic predecessor. It can hardly be meant that there is to be the same amount or manner of intervention—that weak States shall be bullied, and strong ones wantonly alienated— that deceitful encouragement shall be held out to the discontented of almost every European community— or that the correspondence with foreign Courts or diplomatists shall still be marked ,by flippancy, and still affect the smartness of a slashing review. Indeed, Lord Palmerston's avowed principles, considered apart from his peculiar mode of applying them, never constituted the whole, or even the chief part, of the well-founded objections to his statesmanship. We speak of these, of course, as he and his late col leagues have repeatedly described them in unexcited times; and for the purposes of analysis and apprecia tion, we make allowance for the high colouring and exaggerated glosses of his Radical allies in the famous Greek debate, as well as at the dinner given to com• memorate Don Pacifico's short-lived triumph. We must do his Lordship the justice to say that, with his usual adroitness, he waved aside the red cap repeatedly tendered to him on these occasions, and mainly rested his vindication on his zeal to maintain peace, to pro mote freedom, to check oppression, to extend and confirm the influence of Great Britain, and to place, by firmne ss an d conc ili at i on , an Englishman of our day on a level with a Roman of the sera when Rome was the mistress of the world. He did not tell the House of C ommons , er his host at the Reform Club, that w h en w h a t b e ca lled firmness and con ciliation w erepu t i n act i on , they strongly resembled the opp os it e qualities—or that his schemes for elevating the English name had made it difficult for an Englishman to make the continental tour without annoyance, and bed left the United Kingdom without one efficient and trustworthy ally. His sketch of a patriotic Secretary for Foreign Affairs, therefore, was little better than a fancy piece or an abstraction ; yet, for that very reason, it may safely be adopted as a model by Lord Granville, whom it will be no easy matter to convict of departing from the " principles" of Lord Palmerston, although, vir tually and substantially, the foreign policy of the Government may speedily have undergone a whole some and fundamental cbange. Lord Stanley of Alderley—whose trick of carping at others has caused his own merits to be undervalued—has chosen to follow his late chief into retirement; and it is said that he young peer, who, on two threeor promise of ability in the l Upperbe succeeded ocHocuass.on st b has 'rhoy a very givn e omission to confer the vacant Under-Secretaryship on a Member of the House of Commons, will certainly aid credence to the semi official announcement that Lord John Russell intends to take the person a l dir e ction of the most important duties of the nreign•office.; If this an nouncent has been mad e with a view of quieting alarm, or as a guarant ee ags i ns t th e recu rrence of in discretion in this department, we must express our conviction that it will not be received as such by the public. No contemp orary sta t esman i s more liable to sudden freaks or e scapa d es than th e P r i me Minister, nor less fit to be t ruste d with t h e i n d e p en d en t and un restrained use of p en, i nk capable of pro vo ki ng PrinC and paper. He is fully rin s e Schwarzenberg to tell him sharply t o m i n d h i s own b us i ness , o r o f giving Louis Napoleon a rap over the knuckles which would of official life has been, be answered by a blow, o u r hopes are rather pil sense. His former residence lowed on Lord Granville, w ho, limited as his expe rienceour foreign relations ; and an temper, tact, diligence, conscientiousness, and good has given proofs of out pique to indulge, or con nexions,self- must have m a d e hip well acquainted with need or regret the want of abroad, and his nglish Minister, with local factions and intrigues, the bane of the discharged love to gratify, will not far, therefore, as directly we think that which has proved that familiarity with conferred a great boon on the Fo reign- office , concerns the " bottleholder." So the Cabinet have country. They have removed an insur mounta b le i mig diment to the renewal of an amicabl e intercourse with ti be construed into the great Powers of Europe ; and we see no reason w hy separation from a colleague, f or t a ki ng too muc h upon himself in a very critical conjuncture, ;should the expression o f an unfrien dly feeling toward s France or her r u l er . W hether they have materially d diminished th e i r own c h ances o f di sso l u ti on , i s qu i te another matter. They have lost their right hand, their mainstay, the keystone of their ill-cemented arch, and the connecting link between them and one of the main elements of their stability. Whatever Tory or Cons erva ti ve t i nge Lor d P a l m er s to n may have retained du r i ng hi s t wenty- fi ve years of Whig gery " and something more " be has contrived to concentrate the attention of a formidable band of ultra-Liberals on himself as their possible leader, and should he be tempted to raise an independent standard, the majority of these might flock to it. The Protectionists also have begun to speculate on his co-operation, and some of them think that he and Mr. Disraeli, being neither of them over-burdened with scruples, would get en very well together ; but the Exe oration has been inopportunely revived, and (what is more to the point) the Viscount is aware that a Protectionist Government, or any Government composed of materials furnished by the " country party," is an impossibility or an absurdity. It will be, then, most probably from th e Lib er al cam p th a t h e will march to assail his old co ll eagues , if he should assail them; and we are at a loss to see why he should not, or on what grounds beisexpected to limit his opposition to so much of their futare foreign policy as shall be found to differ from his own. At all events, the opportunities for attack that , are pretty sure to be offered by their incapacity will be irresistibly tempting to a man of his temperament who has rankling slights to revenge ; and it would be requiring too much of poor human nature to insist on his refraining from hostile comments on the budgets of Sir Charles Wood, or :on the colonial administration of Earl Grey. The short time that remains before the com mencement of the session will probably be employed by the Premier in patching, and mending, and beat ing about for recruits. But the general conclusion to which we are irresistibly conducted by a calm and comprehensive review of the situation is that, unless Lord John Russell should suddenly exhibit an almost miraculous fertility of resources, his Government will perish like the patient who has postponed] the ampu tation of a mortified limb till the vital parts are affected and his strength is exhausted, and who— after manfully undergoing the operation—sinks, lan guishes, and expires. HERALD.—The full explanation of the intrigue —for intrigue no doubt it was—by which Lord Pal merston has been sacrificed, must probably after all our speculations be postponed until Parliament meets. The appointment of his successor is a subject upon which we must have a few words. To what is it that the Earl Granville—a young man of no expe rience—who never sat in the House of Commons— and has had but a few years a seat in the Douse of Peers—to what is it, we ask, that this young noble- man, younger in politics than in years—to what is it that he is indebted in times like the present to his elevation to an office of so much importance to the honour and interests of England and Eng land's Sovereign as the Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs ? It is not to any public confidence he enjoys at home. It is not to any reputation he has acquired abroad. It is not to his experience as a states man, nor to his skill as a Parliamentary debater; it is—let the truth be plainly spoken—it is to the fact that he is nearly related to the Whig Dukes of Sutherland and Devonshire; and by virtue of that relationship allied to one, if not more, of the three family clans that, associated into a little clique of political exclusives, are determined to confine all high offices in this country to themselves and their rela tives and dependents. The Cabinet of Lord John Russell is a Cabinet of the causins of two or three " great houses." The only principle of his Ministry is to govern the country by the members of the aris tocratic cabal into which the followers of these houses have been formed. An aristocratic connexion in this quarter is now the only passport to the coun cils of the Sovereign. A Cabinet Council is now no thing more than " a gathering of the clans." The very worst kind of exclusiveness guides the movements of the Whigs. It is the exclusiveness of a little knot of aristocratic monopolists, recognising as the only claim to public office a connexion with their own circle. The recent additions to the Cabinet, and now the appointment of Lord Granville to the Fo reign -office, emphatically mark the resolution of " the Council of Ten " to keep the doors of office barred against the admission to the Council-chamber of any who cannot qualify by connexion with the family party that are portioning out the Government of this country among themselves. Lord Palmerston was the only leading member of the Cabinet who had no re lative at the Council board. It is not worth while to notice the exception of the Chancellor. Every one else had a cousin, a father-in-law, a brother-in-law, or a son-in-law to stand by him. The Privy Seal is the father-in-law of the Premier—the Chancellor of the Exchequer brother-in-law of the Colonial Secre tary—the Colonial Secretary first cousin of the Home —the Chancellor of Lancaster is cousin of the Foreign. We protest we do not undertake accu rately to explain all the degrees of relationship even between the leading members of the happy family that are encaged in Downing -street. A g , nealogist should be specially devoted to the task. An hour's study of the " Peerage" will leave any person who will take the trouble of reading through the heads of Bedford, Carlisle, Grey, and Minto under the impression that the recognised qualifica tion for a Minister of State is to be allied either by blood or marriage with one or all of the nurseries of statesmen which these titles represent. Still less do we undertake to settle the degrees of consanguinity among the inferior personages, those whom we may call " the filling stuff" of the Cabinet—how Mr. This is married to Lady Mary That. But sure we are that there are not four members of the Cabinet who do not owe their seats at the Council-board to their "complicity" in that web of family connexions which has made the higher public employments in England the patrimony of two or three lordly houses. This is not even the exclusiveness that would confine the higher offices to the members of the aristocracy, though that were intolerable enough. But it is the exclusiveness that would monopolise them to a mise rable section of the aristocracy, to two or three fami lies and their connexions. It is an exclusiveness to which the manhood of the country ought not to submit for one hour. Regarding, as we do, the conferring of the seals of the Foreign Department upon Lord Granville as the indication of a perseverance in this system of " domestic nomination," and therefore an insult to the intellect of the nation at large, it is scarcely worth while to speak of the grave objections which exist to the appointment itself. Lord Granville may, for aught we know, combine in his own person all the talents of all the family party. lle may, for aught any one can say to the contrary, be as discreet as Lord Minto, as good-tempered as Earl Grey, as wise as Lord Torrington, or even as able a financier as Sir Charles Wood. But when the present aspect of Eu ropean politics is remembered, we venture to think the Foreign Secretary of the British Sovereign ought to have a name that would not be wholly unknown in European courts. Never was there a time when, as regards the influence of England abroad, it was more essential that we should have at the Foreign-office a statesman of established reputation. Never was there cl time when the people of England ought more ear nestly to demand that he should be one in whom they have confidence. To state these conditions is to pronounce the condemnation of the appointment of Lord Granville. Let u. however, take heart. O ne thing, at least, is gained—no vulgar hands have pro faned these seals of office, which are religiously re served for the relatives of " men in office." The mysteries of the Cabinet will not be divulged to those who can boast no relationship with a Cabinet Mi nister. The preserves of " the cousins" are still rigidly preserved. It is something emphatically to have taught this sturdy Anglo-Saxon race that to qualify for the highest offices of the State Parliamen tary ability and influence with the country are very useful accidents ; but the real, the indispensable re quisite, is to be related to the family " Council of Ten." How long will this great country submit to have its affairs so managed by a little clique, that have no sympathy from the aristocracy, and who pronounce the ban of exclusion upon every one that owes his origin to the people—upon every one, in Lint, who does not belong to the small faction of exclusives, whom, and whom alone, the composition of Lord John Russell's Cabinet represents,_ DAILY NEWS.—The election of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, in whatever degree aided by falsification or intimidation, to be the dictator and legislator of France, is without doubt one of the mose serious blows that have ever been dealt to constitutional go vernment. We can account for many votes by the peculiar passions and ignorance of the class which gave them. We can understand the Legitiusatist voting for any heirless member, who would undertake to kill at once every principle of freedom, under republic or under monarchy. We can comprehend M. Mon talembert, who imagines human happiness and virtue to exist in buti two mansions—the barrack and the cloister. We can understand the Socialist, who, in no possible contingency, could hope to put his own principles in practice, and who, therefore, is well pleased to be avenged of society and of all political parties, by stifling them. IVe can understand the ignorant peasant, the songs and traditions of whose family are of the Grande Armee, and who in truth knows no name save that of Napoleon. And we can also understand the Con stitutionalist and Orleanist, who despair of seeing a monarchy of the middle classes revive till the forward spirit of liberalism has received the dire lesson of many years' iron tyranny and exaction. All these, however, are mean motives to a mean act. And we believe that a far more universal and predominant motive than any was the conviction how utterly hopeless and useless it was to oppose Loui s N a p o l eon ' s election, and the inability for any one to see their way to the substitution of anything else. The army had decided. For the people to decide anything con trary implied resistance to the military power. The French were no more prepared for that than the Germans. And they have submitted, as they gene rally bear < adverse fortune, 'with a good face. Of those parties who, adverse to Louis Napoleon and to tyranny, have still voted for both in the vague hope that they may turn to its advantage, the vulgar Socialists are those least likely to be mistaken. By vulgar Socialists we mean that large body of the struggling, the needy, and the ignorant, who are dis contented with their lot, and who seek by some poli tical legerdemain to turn society upside down, and plant themselves upon the top. Louis Napoleon has done, or is doing, this for them with quite as much efficacy as M. Proudhon. The main prop of his power is the support of the most ignorant of the population —the common soldiery, and the rustic peasants, and the monastic clergy. Those are are the layers of so ciety, well represented by Montalembert and St. Ar naud, whom he is putting uppermost. The classes of society that he is extinguishing and treading down are the politicians, the professors, the men of letters, journalists, and in fine, the gentlemen. M. Guizot raved of a Government of notables and capables. Lduis Napoleon puts a gag on the mouth of every one that can pretend :to either character. It is all the vulgarity, immorality, and brutality of the country that is uppermost ; and that stamps its seal upon every Government act. Look at the arrests the letters de cachet, forced exile, the extinction of the press, the restoration of the censorship, even upon books, the firing into first-floor windows—these all bespeak the ignorance, the coarseness, the defiance of decorum, the bschnnalian triumph of the lowest class of mind and lowest class of breeding in the country. It is in fact sans-czdottism, as yet without the guillotine. It is a serious disaster to havei the political educa tion of a country stopped. With the journals alp pressed, books submitted to the ce nsorship, —the gag• ging of the masters of public instruotion,—France must retrograde if it bears its present yoke long. The counter revolution i n P russia and in Austria did not at least, proscribe all th e talent of the country. The bureaucracy of Prussia is able, though despotic. And even Schwarz en h erg availed himself of the Brucks and the Baches, thrown up by the revolution. But no one with a soul or A capacity above that of a policeman would serve the present French dictator, who will :be reduced, to find civil employes as well as military ones by means of the conscription. How the liberal and educated mind of France is to free itself from a yoke so galling and so disgraceful re mains as yet a m y s t ery. The unfortunate schism between the upper and the lower classes, the propertied and the earning, has deprived the intellect of the country of its right arm. And it i s b y t hi s fearful separatien, to which the upp er c l asses of the French w ore not sufficiently alive these three years past, that L o uis Napoleon has profited. He is, to some extent, the people's dictator, and his mission is to scourge the intelligent, th e commarcial, and th e middles claasee. The balance may for a long time tremble between his prudence and their impatience; but the day of deci sion and of retribution will come. There is one truth that must impress itself on the mind of every citizen_in Europe, and that is, the impossibility of en joying the permanent advantages of liberty as long as rulers can dispose of armies of from three to five hundred thousand men. This large and disciplined body is necessarily raised from the most illiterate of the population. Brute power can be based on it. And the brute pit of Europe must dominate over its intellectual part until means are found for all and each country dispensing with an immense military force. There is no use now in any class, however numerous, or any party, however well organised, attempting to effect a revolution - until they are prepared to deal with the army, and shake off that incubus. We allude not, of course, to such an army as the British, but to continental armies. The great question now is, military or non-military rule P The military principle predominates over Europe, and:we very much fear may crush in a few weeks or months whatever remains of constitutionalism in Piedmont, Belgium, or Switzerland. Military predominance is an inundation that must cover everything below its level. To oppose it, or erect dykes against it, seems for the moment impossible. All one can do is to be prepared for the sinking of the waters, and to labour for the restoration of constitutional, civilian, pacific, and economic systems of government. The task is not an easy one, the end not to be attained save through much suffering, and many years of constancy and labour ; but that it is the chief thing to struggle for must be evident to one who contemplates the present state and future prospects of European society.

The attendance was very numerous. After the usual loyal toasts, The LORD MAYOR remarked that it was a very gratifying circumstance to him to find himself called upon so early in his year of office to preside over a meeting like the present ; but that gratification was doubled by the fact that the object they had met to promote was the education and advancement of the rising generation.—(Cheers.) He felt extremely glad to see that such an institution had been established by the gentlemen around him. It was a most important one, and he congratulated them most heartily on the success which had crowned their labours.—(Cheers.) An institution which in the fifth year of its existence could show 112 such children as those be saw before him was itself the best panegyric upon the ex ertions of those to whom it owed its formation. —(Loud applause.) Such an institution could never cease to have claims upon them, especially as the children it supported and provided with the means of instruction were the offspring of those with whom, in times gone by, they had been in the constant habit of associating.—(Hear.) He believed there was no class more entiled to respect than the great body of commercial travellers. There was no body to which a greater amount of property was en trusted, and none by whom it was held more sacred. —(Cheers.) He thought they would earn additional respect and esteem by the efforts they had made for the education of the orphans of their poorer brethren. These schools would stand high in this country; nay, perhaps they would ultimately become one of the greatest establishments of the kind in the kingdom.— (Cheers.) He defied any gentleman to say that some of thli, children who would owe their education to this institution might not some day be called upon to fill the highest situations in the country —(Hear.) The instruction they received was of the very best de scription, and none could tell to what distinguished positions talents developed in the Commercial Tra vellers' Orphan Schools might not lead their posses sors.—(Cheers.) He had great pleasure in proposing " Prosperity to the Institution."—(Loud applause.) Sir J. K. HABERFIELD briefly proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, who acknowledged the compli ment in suitable terms. The children educated in the institution, who bad been placed in the gallery opposite the chairman, now sang an effusion appropriate to the festival, after which th!y were marched round the room for the in spection of the company; and certainly nothing could be mere creditable to the management of the insti tution than the appearance which they presented. The list of subscriptions was then read. It in cluded the Lord Mayor, 30 guineas ; Sir J. K. Haberfield, 30 guineas ; Mr. J. R. Hunter, 20 guineas ; the Sheriffs, Mr. George Brown, Mr. Howell, Mr. Willcocks Mr. G. Moore (the treasurer) Mr. Baggally, Mr. Morris (2d donation), Mr. Pell (3d ditto), Mr. W. Nicholson, Mr. Redmayne, Mr. George Hitchcock, Mr. Bates, Mr. R. Russell, Miss Emma Dean, of Hull ; Miss Elizabeth Williams, of Liverpool; Miss Sarah Ann Leadman, Miss Eliza Daniels, of Shrewsbury; Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Rhodes, and Mr. Coleman, 10 guineas each ; Messrs. Bishop and Son (2d donation), 50 guineas ; the National Mercantile Assurance Office, 100 guineas ; Messrs. Hooper and Sons, 12 guineas ; Mr. Tilt, 30 guineas ; Mr. James Hughes, 5 guineas annually, &c., &c. The Lord Mayor's list amounted to 200 guineas, and Mr. Morris's to 1491. 2i.i The LORD MAYOR then proposed the Sheriffs, both of whom responded. Mr. SHAve said it afforded him very sincere pleasure to address them once more in that genuine celebra tion of the great festival of Christmas—once more to see assembled in that room so many members of the great and important class of commercial travellers associated to advance the pure and philanthropic purposes of this excellent institution—once more to have seen so many cheerful and healthy faces and happy hearts, when but for their aid those children might now have been pining in want, in wretchedness, in sickness, and misery. —(Loud cheers.) Much, however, as had been done there remained still much to do before the commercial travellers would have re deemed their position and taken that high standing to which they were entitled.—(Cheers.) Until every orphan child received such an education as should enable him in future life to work out his own position, until every widow of their order was cared for, until every distressed brother was relieved, they would not be true to themselves.—(Cheers.) He begged to propose the health of their venerable and excellent president, Mr. Mastermsn, M.P.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then proposed the health of Sir J. K. Ilaberfield and the visitors.—(Cheers.) Sir J. K. HADERFIELD in returning thanks de clared that he had often received much kindness from commercial travellers, and that he should always be ready to render suit and service to the institution. The LORD MAYOR gave the health of Mr. Moore, the treasurer.—(Loud Cheers.) Mr. MoonE congratulated the meeting on the fact that having paid all their bills up to last night, they had placed in the funds the handsome sue of 13,5001. —(Loud cheers.) Two years ago they had com menced the building fund, for which they had esti mated 12,0001. would be required ; and he had the satisfaction to inform them that 10,0001. had already been raised. The subscriptions for the past year amounted to 3,330/. ; donati ons , 424/ . ; building fund, 1,074/. ; dividends, 387/, ; presentations, 210/. ; t o t a l , 5,425/.—(Cheers.) H e h a d b een with a deputation to Bristol, where be had been most kindly recei ve d by Sir John K. Haberfield. A public dinner was g iven, at which 120 gentlemen were present and he (M r ' Moore) returned to town with 700/. in his pocket. — (Cheers.) At Glasgow they had received sum, at Manchester 1,500/1 and at Liverpool GOOl. — (Cheers ) They had still Yorkshire to visit, and they and of girls would be glad if accompany them, w bo ° y u s id school emrilator was 64, i v u o l t u a h n e t s e i 44, and the expenses for t i t i le lust anyT h The number gentlemen ai ber o f year had been 3,330/.

They very high standing had already placed out eight in advanta geous s i tua tions. His own house (Groucock, Cope stake, and Moore) had taken one ; Spence Bagally' s badta ken two, WTood and Westhead's a fourth, and other firms the rest.—(Hear, hear.) He was con vinced that no better education could be had than at the Commercial Travellers' School, end he could easily foresee that boys who had been brought up in it would one day occupy a seat at that table.

Of the former he ; andtht lowed to say that they would leave no aton: unturned e a to add to the list of subscribers Providence blessed their exertions and asenlarged their means they would increase their ow n Zb. scriptions, and devote more time to the interest of the institution.—(Cheers.) As for those who did n o t subscribe, he could only wish that they had been pre.. sent when the children passed round the room, and bad seen what a sacrifice of happiness and gratification they made in not doing what they could to assist these schools.—(Cheers.) He had taken a little pains to ascertain what were their reasons for not support.. them. One said he could not afford it; but really to say that a commercial man could not save a guinea a year must be a joke ?—(Hear.) Why, what was it ? Half a glass of wine less a week, a cigar less in four days, travelling three or four short stages in a second class carriage instead of a first, or in a third instead of a second. In short, it was the accomplishment of the desperate feat of saving two thirds of a penny a day.—(Loud laughter.) Why, he had once met one gentleman who might have Ble ed it in whips, end his horses be none the orse for it; and another who might have saved it in pills, end been himself all the better for it.—(Loud laughter and applause.) A guinea a year would he a small matter to them. They were not lik e ly t o found a profitable business with it; they could not Purchase much reputation, acquire much learning, or procure much comfort or enjoyment with it ; but it might contribute much to the support and education of the children of those with whom they might per haps have associated with that extreme intimacy so peculiar to the commercial room.—(Hear.) Others had declined to. subscribe on the ground that they should never marry. But he seho could deliberately make such a declarati on in. the face of the girls of this country was a man that was determined to go out of the w or ld with only h • ha lf his errand—that was like a boy who having had a pastry cook's shop left him, was content to eat all the crusts and to leave the sweets untasted.—(L oud laughter.) In short, he was a wretch w h om it vea call a sensible man.---(Loud Were Kress 5. /ros co s th flattery g ai t n o , said they could provide for their own children, but let none think himself above the reach of adversity.—. (Hear, hear.) Their worthy secretary could tell them that there were in their school several children whose fathers were laid low in the hour of their prosperity —nay, almost in that of their boasting.— (Cheers.) A third class declined to subscribe because they thought the schools would never be of an ser vice to themselves. B u t sure l y i f that s y wee general, who would su b scr ib e to asylumsp for idiot s, to hospitals for accidents, or to institutions for the blind, but such as expected to lose their senses, to break a limb, or to be deprived of their sight—in other words no one, for none anticipated misfortunes for themselves ? Commercial men ought to remember that they could not, on the ground of their insignifi cance, lay claim to exemption from the duties that belonged to most other communities. If weighed i n the scale of society by their numbers (about 30,000), they were no small body to be following one pursuit. If, again, they were consider e d w i th reference to their distinctions, talents, or notoriety, they might say that some of the bead partners of the chief mercantile firms bad been com mercial travellers in their time—that Michael Thomas Sadler, the first powerful friend of the fac tory girl—Richard Cobden, and, he believed h e might add, the Right Hon; the Lord Mayor, who bad so kindly consented to preside over them, were all commercial travellers.—(Cheers.) blight he not add that her Majesty's am b assadors abroad were commer cial travellers—slightly magnified.—(Laughter.) They negotiated commercial treaties —s o did they. They sometimes quarrelled with their customers — so did they. They attended banquets and ate good din ners—so did they. They had many servants to wait on them—so had they. They were well paid —so were they. They sometimes got discharged —so did they.—(Laughter.) Lastly, they obtained knight hoods and other titles—so might they.—(Laughter.) He did not despair, in this age of commercial " go-a-headisms,' that they might live to read in a traveller's circular, an announcement that "our Sir John Smith will wait, upon you on or about" such a day.— (Loud laughter.) Let him now earnestly ap peal to the ladies who had done them the honour to grace their assembly. If the husband of any mar ried lady in the gallery did not subscribe to the schools he hoped the sight of the children that even ing would induce her to excite his zeal in the cause. Every man had some kindly place in his heart some where, and most marrried ladies knew where to find it.—(Cheers and laughter.) With respect to the un married, if any non subscribing commercial swain sheuld solicit their heart and hand; let them tell him that there was a lesson of love to learn before he could count upon their smiles.—(Cries of Hear, hear.") Let them forbid him to approach their presence unless he brought with him the talismanic receipt of their worthy secretary for at least a guinea's subscription ; for let them be assured, the traveller who could let pass such an opportunity of doing good as these schools afforded was not corn posed of the right materials to make a good hus band.—(Cheers and laughter.) Common prudence, simple economy and self-defence, ought to make the commercial body exert themselves to support this in stitution. Who, but the men whose childhood had been neglected, and whose education uncared for, filled for the most part, our gaols, and made up the multitude of the disaffected ?—(Cheers.) Many and many a poor convict ending his days in exile and de -1 spair might with justice retort upon society, whose laws he had outraged, and exclaim, " I was ignorant and you did not teach me; my path w as b ese t w i t h snares and quicksands, and you did not help me. Had you cared more for my childhood I ban been a better man. —(Cheers.) There was yet another reason why it would be well for them to be among the charitable and benevolent. Let any man look back upon a long life and ask himself what circumstance he could re member that afforded him the most genuine happiness. It would not be any pecuniary success, any fortunate speculation, any convivial party, or wide-known distinction ; but it would be the remembrance of some unselfish benevolent:action by which he has borne some other's burden, and by which he has conferred happiness on the unfortunate members of that great family of which they all formed a part.--(Loud cheers.) They frequently saw in the newspapers that some conscientious gentleman has sent a sum of money to the Chancellor of the Exehequer for " con science money." Now, conscience ought to teach them that it was as much their duty to support their poor neighbour as to pay their taxes---(Hear , and laughter)—and if, therefore, any one bad ami d a of sending money to the Chancellor of the Exchequer he had better alter his mind and forward it to the treasurer of this institution.—(Laughter.) It would, probably, do him as much good here and hereafter, and the immediate results would be much more ap parent to his friends.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Hughes) could not sit down without thanking, on behalf of the commercial body, those of their friends (not travellers) who, by devoting so much of their time, t a l en t s , and money to the institution, had raised it to the height of epe it enjoyed. They had h a d con t r ib utions p bo re thfr r o it m y ladies and gentlemen, of money, of music, and of verse—contributions, in short, of everything that kind-heartedness could suggest and able gene rosity carry out ; and he most earnestly prayed that He, the all disposer of events—He " who is a father to the fatherless and a consolation to the widow" might bless those contributions, and make this branch of the wide-spreading tree of charity that adorned our country as prosperous as they could wish, until every poor traveller's child should b e provid e d f or, and until a traveller' s widow •in anxiety about the future of her offspring should not exist but in a tell that was told as a remembrance of yesterday and long-continued cheering.)
