We feel an defied that every such visit from a Minister of theCrowe must be fruitfal in information to themselves, and that the result will bo the advancement of England, My Lord, I again bid you welcome, and I rejoice that you have been good enough to bring Lady Russell amongst us.— (Loud cheers.) We dordially hope that both your Lord ship and Lady Russell may be long permitted to live, to witness and to rejoice in ti e moral, the intellectual, and the social advancement of tle country.—(Loud and pro longed cheering.) Mr. JOSEPH HERON, the town clerlr, then read the ad dress which was voted at the council. • Lord JOHN, RUSSELL having received the address, replied—Mr. Mayor: Let me in the first place express my thanks to yourself for the manner in which you have discharged a duty which must be most grateful to my feelings. Looking:upon you.as the representative of this great manufacturing community, it is gratifying to me to find that any portion of my conduct has met with your approbation, and likewise to find that my visit to this town has been considered as tending in any way to give me better, information, and to further the means of provi,ling for_ the well-upderstood interests of the country.—(CLeers.) I only regret that at this time, when the preparation and discussion of measures for Parliament must occupy necessarily so great a portion of itirtitie, my visit must be so extremely tskerti-and that any knowledge which I may in so short a time acquire must certainly be insufficient to servo as a means of legislation. But I trust it will be taken as an earnest that I consider the objects of providing for the trade and manufactures of • this country are of the very Ugliest importance, and that I 'shall ever consider it my duty to obtain the best information I can obtain in order to give advice to a Sovereign who has ever upper • most in her heart the welfare of her subject:.—(Loud and prolonged cheering.) You were g.lod enough to re fer to the circumstances of my wife accompanying me on this visit; and I can assure you that it would have been impossible for me to prevent her from taking a part in it —;-so powerful was her anxiety to observe those wonders of manufacturing skill and invention of which she, in common with the rest of the community, had heard so much.—(Loud cheers.) . Let - me now proceed, theref.ire, to answer the address which you have done me the honour topresent; and I trust you will not think that I do.wrong iu giving effect to my own personal opinions, because, in all the conduct I have observed in Parlia ment, I never found that I was able toe fleet anything unless I was strongly persuaded of the rectitude cf the course Which I was pursuing—(Cheers)—and tha', ac cording to my judgment, it was the course which was beat calculated to promote the interests of the country. I shall now proceed, thereore, to answer the address which has been read by the town clerk. His Lordship then read the following address:— " Mr. Mayor, gentlemen of the borough of Manches ter,—,[ thank you heartily for the kind manner in which • consisting cf a simple white leaf on a pale bine ground, with a delicate edging of chocolate.

This morning Lord John Russell, Lady Fanny, and the other members rf the party, proceeded to the cotton factory of Sir Elkantih Armitage, situated in Charles town, where they were received by Sir Elkara'n On entering the works his Lordship expressed a wish to fel low the procrsa of spinning through all:its departmente, from the original raw state off' the cut:oil•. wool up to the completed -manufacture. A bale, 4 . 4 cotton wool which had Timm recently cut open was tfiert=l.weeght fol. his Lordship's inspection; but his Lordship expressing a wish to examine one that had not been previously opened, a fresh one was brought and cut open in his Lordship's presence. After examining the wool thus shown him, his Lordship and friends were conducted over all the processes of the manufacture—cleaning, carding, roving, spinning and weaving—when Lady Fanny Rus:ell expressed a eesire to he permitted to take a small portion of the ma terial in ea:th stage of its progrese. Specimens of the various qualities, including cotton rovinge, and a quan-' lily of twist in the manner in which it is put together to furor warp!, were accordingly presented to her Ladyship. During the progress through the mill the party ap pea•ed to be much struck with the healthy, condors• able appearance of the workmen—a circuntsta-ca on which his Lordship remarked more than once in his ex amination. From Sir E. Armitage'i factory the party proceeded to the Salford Library sad Museum, where the corpora tion of Salford met his Lordship. This building is io the Peel Park, one of those places of recreation which have lately been opened for the accommodation of pent up workmen of the place through the Munificence of the private liberality of the millowners, assisted by donations from ether parties. Among these it may be remembered Sir Robert Peel gave a donation of 1,0001., in grateful recollection of which the park, in which the present re ception took place, was distinguished by the Right llor.

The - museum is not yet opened. The library opened about three months ago, with more than 5,000 volumes, which are open to all comers without introduction or f ir rnality of any kind. As a proof of the manner in which the working biasses in the neighbourhood appreciate the advantages conferred upon them by this institution, it may be mentioned that 8,000 volumes have been issued from the 'library to the reading - room during the three months the institution has been opened, the volumes chiefly in request being history, .biography, and works on scientific subjects. All these particulars were pointed out to his Lordship, who appeared to take great interest in the details. • N4TIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 26, CORNHILL, LONDON.

I am much gratified by the ap probation you have bestowed on my public p:induct. I am glad to have the opportunity of more correctly esti mating, although by a short and cursory inspection, the magnitude of the interests which are ecnnect7d with the borough and neighbourhood of Manchester. There are two modes in which a Government can tosttr and pro mote trade and commerce. The first, which is the least direct, but the most powerful in its effects, is by secur ing to every man the impartial administration of law, and the enjoyment of personal and political freedom; the other is by the removal cf restrictions and monopolies affezting trade; agriculture, and msnuftetures. It has been my endeavour to promote, humbly but earnestly, in both• these wayv, the groat interests of labour. But I cannot give the chief p!aeo to the efforts of statesmen, ev, n far wore effective than mine, for the ad vancement of these objects. The free spirit, the independent mind, the patient industry, the inventive skill of the people of this realm, have been the main causes of growing population, increasing weal:le and augmented power. You have done me the honour to observe tbat; in seeking to amend and n farm, I have endiavoured to . make the least possible disturbance cf existing arrangements, and I am rejoiced to find that my caution has met with your approbation. lam youfident that in no part of the empire would the adoption of an taned the i extreme policy, in whatever direction it might tend, be p more ynai osensibly business,a nd more a diminution of fel(inh trade, interruption of confidence) than in this great centrq of manufactures. While, therefore, lam a warm friend'of progress, I am convinced that it is above all things Ze , sirable that any reforms which we may propose sheaki be calmly weighed, and, when proved to be desirable, effected without disturbance t) the peace of the country." At the conclusion of this address, which was loudly cheered, his Lordship handed it to the Town-clerk, who presented it to the. Mayor. On leaving the Town-hall, the Premier was again `enthusiastically cheered by the people without, who followed the carriage to the Exchange, which his Lord ship alighted to inspect.

The morning was rattier unfavourable, and comaaratively few persons were assembled round the door ot the mu• seum to see his Lordship alight. Those who were pre sent Ft ceived his Lordship with calm respect, but with out any demonstration of applause. His Lordship was conducted to the library-by the Mayor of Salford, where he was most respectfully greeted by the members of the corporation. The Ai AYOR then said—lt is with high gratification, as the Mayor of this borough, I present to your Lord ship this address, which was vcteil unanimously and with acclamation by the members of the town council yes ter ' day; and it is with feelings of great pleasure that, within our borough, we welcome you as the Prime Mi nister of the Crown. In your person, my Lord, we I e cognige still additional mctives for our high gratifica tion, when we consider the many great measures with which your name has been connected during the long period of your public career, measures of great value to ourselves and of great benefit to the community. We ' feel dee ply indebted ter the great exertions your Lord ship has made in obtaining those LGOaSUre3, and now, without troubling your Lordship with a long speech, I will proceed to read the address of the council. The address having been read by the Mayor, Lord J. RussELL said—Mr. Mayor, I thank you far the manner in which you have presented the address; and it is with great pleasure that I proceed to answer it. His Lordship then read the following answer:— " Mr. Msyor, and Gentlemen of the borough of Sal ford,— I am much gratified by the address you have done me the honour to present to me. I am happy to find that you attribute to me a love of social progress and of constitutional liberty. It will be my endeavour to continue to deserve that approbation. You are Lilly justified in saying that much remains to be accomplished, end that farther measures, both fiscal and moral, are re quired fir the well-being of the people. To improve institutions in accordance with the state cf the people, and to fit the people for improved institutions, are both of them noble tasks. Your position qualifies you to take a lead in the second of these labours; and I am happy to acknowledge that you are doing much to raise the minds, and direct to worthy objects the pursuits of your fel low-citizens. I . trust you will be rewarded by seeing an increased spirit of loyalty and religion, and that the content of your community will roe the success of your exertions."—"(Loud cheers.) After visiting the museum, lyis ..t;ecadship returned to his carriage, and drove off amidat:theAseers of the people w ho had assembled at the gates. Front Salford his Lordship pro& fled direct to the Town-hall of Manchester, where the corporation of the city was in Waiting to receive him end to present the aidrees voted yesterday. The broad street in front of the Town-hall was filled with a dense crowd of persons, principally composed of the working classes, though ie. terspersed with n good many of the tradesmen of the town. The arrival of his Lordship was hailed by this crowd with loud and repeated cheering, and a great rush was made from all Farts to see his Lordship alight from his carriage, which it required all the efforts of a strong body of police to prevent from issuing in some accident. Lord John was received in the lobby of the Town-hall by Mr. Potter, the mayor, who introduced his Lordship to the mayor's parlour in the ball, where the aldermen, most of the members of the town council, and several of the principal manufacturers in the t awn, with a number of ladies, were assembled to receive him. Among those present we noticed Mr. Kershaw, M.P., Mr. J. Heywood, M.P., Mr. Brotherton, M.P., and on his Lordship entering the room the company rose to receive him, and testified their delight at his presence by loud demonstrations of applause. Silence having been restored, The MAYOR whir ersed his Lordship es follows:--My Lord John Russell: Though I can assure your Lordship that I feel very deeply my own inaLility a d equately to do justice to the occasion which has brought us tooethrr this morning, yet I cannot but esteem it a high and ks tinguished privilege that it has fallen to m y lot to be the first mayorof Manchester who halhad the honour/to receive the Primo Minister of England in this town, — (Loud cheers.) My Lord, on Lehalf of the Corpora tion of Manchester—on behalf I am sure, I m a y say, o f my fellow-citizens at large-1 bid you a most cordial, a most hearty welcome to this town.—(Applause.) My Lord, I welcome you to Manchester, not only as the first Minister of the Crown, through 'whom we may most legitimately expressour loyalty to the Queen, our ardent attachment to her person, and admiranon of her high virtues; but, my, Lord, I also welcome you us a statesman, whose name will never be forgotten.—(Loud cheers.) Representing, my Lord, as you do, the high mindedness of the house of Russell — (Cheers)—it h as been your good fortune to add to the laurels of that name, and to transmit to posterity a still more illustrious record of its services. —(Loud cheers.) My Lord, wo re cognise in you a statesman who, with consummate with singleness of purpose, with undeviating consistency, has devoted himself to the best interests of soc i ety. we rec gnise in you one who at all times has done his ut termost to maintain and to promote the rights and liberties of Englishmen.—(Loud eitce re ) My Lord, it is peculiarly gratifying to me, a s mayor of ma t b oroug b , that I have the satisfaction of offering t you this morn ing an address which was unanimously adopted by th e council of this borough. In that council , my Lore, ar e the representatives of every party, ot every religious and political opinion. But though there are many mem bers in that council who differ from the measures which you have so earnestly and successfully advocated, still they feel that it is a privilege to be able to unite in wel coming you to Manchester, and to offer you t h e on l y compliment which it is in their power to bestow.—(Loud cheers.) My Lord, I hope that the terms of the ad dress which we arc about to present to you will convey c some gratification to your Lordships feelings; and I am satisfied that any pleasure you may thereby receive will be infinitely enhanced by the knowledge that this ria dress was unanimously adepted. My Lord, we rejoice in this your visit to the metropolis of the manufacturing districts of England, which we trust will he fruitful of good to the country. We caimet believe that the great results cf tate manufacturing industry of this country can be witnessed without causing in the mind of those who behold them a higher appreciation of that industry, a higher appreciation of the importence of the manufac tures of England. We believe that the industry of Eng arid, as manifested in this district, is the vivifying and maintaining cause a the commercial and social pros perity of our native land.—(Cheers.) We rejoice in your visit, and we earnestly hope that it may be the 1 forerunner of many similar visits from those who from M e rn..„ . -e ctuses , with t a bl es ' of rates , & c., may be had at the office e•' 7 of its - ‘ q ed post free. branches in the country ; or , on. application. will be for witi the Mayor up the noble hall—one of the most spacious in the kingdom—the building was filled by a dense mass, who crowded around to obtain a ♦iew;ot the Premier, in such a manner as must have incommocb-d him not a little. Order, however, was restored; a lane was made, through which his Lordship and friends passed down the middle of the hall, amidst the cheers of the crowd. The party then proceeded to Sir Benjamin Heywood's bank, in St. Ann'a•street, where a lunch was provided for them. About two o'clock his Lordship proceeded to insre'2,t the silk works of Messrs. Smith, in Lower Mosley street, and Ras occupied for an hour and a half in in- specting the machinery there for the throwing and manufacture of silk. The Jacquard looms for the fancy silk weaving excited great interest, and his Lordship and Lady Fanny were minute in their inquiries as to the various processes. _ The oilier establishments which it is understood to be his Loidship',s intention to visit are the Oxford-road Twist Company, the extensive warehouses of his Wor ship the Mayor; and, if possible, the Messrs. 'Whit worth's machine establishment and Mr. Edmonstone's machinery fur the manufacture of railway ticket•. It ought to be added, that wherever his Lordship ap pears his carriage is surrounded by the people, and his presence is greetel by them with hearty clicerp. The working classes, however, as well as their betters, appear eaterrnined, if possible, to turn the Prernier's visit to their own account. A public meeting is called for this evening, to be held in the Corn-Exchange—the Rev. Canon Wray in the chair—for the purpose of pre senting an address to his Lordship. thanking him for the supper: he formerly gave to the Ten Hours' Bill, ald requesting him to support the measure now introduced into Par!iament by Lord Ashley. Whether his Lord ship will be able to receive this . address is uncertain, as it is stated he is to leave Manchest 1-, on his return to town, early to-morrow morning. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CIIRONICLE.—Lord John Russell appears to have visited Manchester with a view rather to relaxation than to study, and to have shown more interest in the workshop than in the "School." But it was not the less a proud and happy moment for the inhabitants of that famous emporium of manufacturing wealth and in dustry, when, for the first time (as we learn from the Salford Town Council), they were honoured by the presence of the Chief Minister of the Crown. "A sight of you is gude for sair een"—and it is not to be supposed that the Lancashire dames fell into the same mistake as the French countess who inveigled Talbot into her castle— I thought I should have seen some Hercules, A second hector, for his grim aspect And large proportion of his strong-knit limbs." If so, they must have been sadly disappointed. ".,M. de Cormenin (Etudes sur les Oratehrs Parliament aires) describes his Lordship as " so little, so pale, and so feeble, that it was necessary to stretch him on a sofa in the lobby after his speech on Parliamentary Reform." But this is French exaggeration ; and, at all events, Lord John Russell might reply with Talbot— " You are deceived ; my substance is not here ; For what you see is but the smallest part And least proportion of humanity." Look again—and you are forcibly reminded of Cla rendon's remark in his History, that most of the stir ring spirits of his time were little men. There is no mistaking the expression of those small, finely chisseled, and impressive features. That pale brow is the constant seat of thought; that wasted frame is o'erin formed with mind; and it is persevering amhi tion of the loftiest order that has shrunk those sinews and deprived that step of elasticity. Whatever differ ences of opinion may exist as to Lord John Russell's other qualifications, he will be admitted on all hands to be one of the most highly-cultivated of contempo rary statesmen. His long exclusion from power gave him ample opportunity for political studies; and his published works show with what unremitting dili gence he prosecuted them. lie had long ago ex hausted the entire round of constitutional reading, and it is deeply to be regretted that many of the wise conclusions at which he arrived in early life in the closet, were so readily abandoned or disregarded at a later and far more important period of his career. Posterity, as well as the impartial and reflecting portion of his contemporaries, would cer tainly think better of him if he had less frequently manifested a willingness to sacrifice principle for popularity, when popularity happened to be a necessary guarantee for place. Still, there he stands—theoretically, if not practically—in spirit and temper, if not uniformly in act and deed—the em bodied essence, the living, breathing personification of the genuine old Whig party, with all its good and all its bad qualities—with its liberalising views and tendencies, its love and patronage of letters, its high bred courtesy, its real want of true aympathy wi h the people, its inbred haughtiness, and its morgue. Ana well may the elite . of Manchester assemble to do him honour ; for providence has so ordered it that the great interests which they represent have largely be- Nu.17,950.] LONDON, FRIDAY k !2l e ! 5, g eit ?

They may be excused for seeing in him neither a pro moter of the Lichfield House Compact, nor a party to the I3edchamber Plot; and although we do not quite agree with Alderman Shuttleworth, that "he is characterised by a consistency which few other states men can boast," we cannot refuse to concur with the worthy magistrate, to a large extent, in the best part of his compliment:—" Lord John Russell entered the House of Commons about thirty-seven years ago ; and since that time he had been constantly labouring for the improvement of our social and political institutions. He was was pledged by his very name—see hloore's poetical Remonstrance'—to freedom in every shape, and the efforts which he had made had always tended to remove acknowledged grievances and promote the principles of justice." That pledge has, on the whole, been well redeemed, and few names could be mere fitly coupled with the favourite Whig toast of " The cause for which Hampden died on the field and Sydney on the scaffold ;", in giving Which, by the way, the present head of the House of Russell (on Sir John Hobhoute's 'prompting) once transposed the names so as to make it. appear that Hampden died on the scaffold and Sidney on the field. We are not aware whether Lord J. guides to the wonders of the place meant *Ai . typical allusion to his services in crushing and beating down in tollerance—but hammers of enormous dimensions formed the chief part of the first day's ex hibition. Lord Jeffrey .said of the steam-engine, "The trunk of an elephant, that can pick up a pin or rend an cab, is as nothing to it. It can engrave a seal and crush masses of obdurate metal before it, draw out, without breaking, a thread as fine as gos samer, and lift up a ship of war like a bauble in the air. It can embroider muslin and forge anchors, cut steel into ribbands and impel loaded vessels against the fury of the winds and waves." Neither this, how ever, nor all that we have since read and seen, quite prepared us fig the exploits of the hammer which was made to go through its exercise for the edification of the Premier. It beean by beating a shapeless mass of metal into a longitudinal bar. In this there is no thing very extraordinary, except (as noted by our re porter), " that the ladies of the party especially mani fested almost as much indifference to the sparks that flew in all directions as the workmen." What followed was the triumph of mechanic art :—" A piece of timber being placed upon the forge, two or three tenpenny nails were driven into it with as much apparent ease and gentleness as a lady might stick a pin into a pin cushion. As if this were not enough, a further trial was made. An egg was inserted into a wine-glass, the end projecting as in an ordinary egg-cup, which was then put upon the forge, and the hammer de scending, chipped the egg, while the glass itself re mained perfectly uninjured." This hammer has been made to order for a firm in New York. The Russian Emperor has become the envied purchaser of the largest boiler and the largest planing -machine in the establishment. Does this prove that we cannot com pete with foreigners—or that we are acting impru dently in permitting them to take advantage of our :kill ? In one way or another, the circum stance will doubtless be regarded as a fatal augury by our Protectionist contemporari e s. Not con tented with giving his Lordship an illustrated lecture on physics, some members of the town council were anxious to improve the opportu nity by inoculating him with some of their own social doctrines. " Mr. Abel Hey wood hoped that his Lordship would not go back from this neighbour hood without having carefully eifsed and ascertained for himself the working of the Ten Hour Bill." JP • might also, it was suggested, advantageously devote an evening or two to Financial Reform ; and, in fact, there appeared in some quarters a strong . disposition to forget the proverbial effect of all 'work and no play in making John a dull-bay: But the Premier-ewes in no humour to imitate that denizen of - thes Queen's s Bench Prison whe e whenever he got a day e rtey, spent it in the Fleet ; his replies to " Mr. Mayor and Gs-n -ee-sof the two boroughs which constitute what is . populety termed "•Manchester," were emph a ti ca lly safe ; and. there is every chance, we reoicatto of his Lordship's re-appearance in the House of Com mons on Monday next in renovated health and spi rits, and haply with increased confidence in the na tional resources, but unwarped, unprejudiced, and un pledged. HERALD.—If there be one thing more than ano ther on which we pride ourselves in this realm of England, it is the complete purity—the perfect inde pendence with which justice is administered, irre spective of rank, irrespective of party—with which justice is impartially administered—whether the de linquent he a rich rogue—or the innocent sufferer a poor and unfriended man. In opening the recc.rd3 of our legal history, even from the earliest ages—and in considering the conduct of our judges, even at a time , when the prerogative was unquestioned, and the-obief magistrates in the law held' their offices at, the plea sure of the Crown—it is astonishing how few are the men connected with the administration of the law who have disgraced the ermine of the bench, or tarnished the fair repute of the judges of the land. If we have but one Sir Thomas Weyland, but one effreyes, but one Scroggs, but one Allybone ;. on the other hand,. see the numerous Johannes de Mettinghams, and Elias de Beckinghatus*—the Fortescues, the Cokes, the Hales, the bolts, the Rsytnonds, the Fosters, the Atkyns, the Somers, the Cornyns ' the llardwickes, the Catndens, the Mansfields, the Der:awls, who il lustrate and adorn the bench, giving strength and lustre to the Crown, and satisfacti o n a n d c o nt en t men t to the people. In the earliest times, and before oar' Constitution arrived at its full perfection, the errors and crimes of judges, recorded in history, are few and inconsiderable, and weigh but as dust in the balance.. But for now a period of more than a century and a half that the judges arc the grand depositaries of the fundamental laws of the kingdom, and have gained a known and stated jurisdiction, regulated by certain and established rules, which the • Crown cannot alter but by Act of Parliament, it were difficult to conceive a body of men in any country more Pure, more virtuous, and more stain less. Separated from the legislative, and also from 'I the executive power—nominated by, but not remov able at the pleasure of the Crown—the judges stand indifferent between the executive and the people, and there is not a man of any intelligence in the country, from. the Land's End, in one corner of the kingdom, to the old assize towns of Monmouth, Mold, and Chester, in the other, who does not feel that his • life, his liberty, and his property are safe in the keeping of gentlemen who have been distinguished either as foremost advocates or as leading jurisconsults—men who have in our day invariably bean promoted to the bench for their ability, their learning, and their high character. Knowing this to be a cardinal and indis putable fact, we always, as journalists, see with regret the slightest disparaging allusions to the judges on the bench. Even when such allusions proceed from learned and instructed writers—not labouring under bias or prejudice—we entertain the belief that in nine cases out of ten more minute inquiry would convince the honest and dispassionate critic of the judges that he has been misinformed—or proceeded on false data or imperfect information. • When, how.. ever, such allusions proceeded from the Times in re , ference either to the late Chief Justice of the Quee n ' s Bench or to Mr. Justice Talfourd, the attentive ob server may almost always conclude that the observa tions and criticism are but a pretence, the real pur pose being to malign and vilify men against whom the Ministerial journal, for some reason best known to. itself, has had a grudge, if not a " lodged h a t e .", Thus it was that the case of the Birds, husband and wife, was fixed upon to drag before the public Mr. Justice Talfourd, as though through his cri mica]. carelessness and culpable indifference this infamous pair had escaped the punishment they had so well merited for their crimes. Now, though when we read this charge some nine or ten days ego we well knew it was baseless and unfounded— partly from the character and very nature of the judge—partly from internal evidence—neverthe less we did not choose in a matter in which private feeling or conviction ought to have sway to pronounce an opinion one way or other. We determined, therefore, to wait patiently, well assured that before the expiration of a week time would do Mr. Justice Talfourd tardy justice. Glad are we now indeed that we then adopted this resolve. Since Sunday last it has so chanced that we have come into contact with five barristers of the Western Circuit, three of whom were present at the trial, and each and. all of these gentlemen bear testimony that the general opinion of the bar of the Western Circuit was, that the case for the prosecution had completely broken down ; and that the presiding judge could, according to law, and according to the obligations of his oath and his conscience, do no otherwise than direct the jury as he did direct them. This opinion see find • confirmed yesterday in a letter addressed to us by ' Mr. Henry Ball, a gentleman connected with the Western Circuit as attorney and barister for a period of more than five and thirty year!•For twenty years Mr. Ball has gene that circuit as barrister. He is known to both branches of the profession as a pains-taking, labogious,. and indus trious man—not prone to busy hinsselt in matters that do not concern him — nor over-anxious to volun teer a defence for any one, whether culprit or j udge. %Vila', however, d o es Mr. Ball—whos e l e t ter we * Cooke'a 3 and 4 Inatituto, 147. . . .. . . , . • ..-. • ‘ • • .----.---- .. . , , . . . . , f- - " • .`• T '.- '. 7 t., . , , :.. -, _.'....•_ :. , ',... ,Nie i , ( I §' ! a: ta 10 1 PIIN " • . `ktdt,.:P/.4'."`r rtl C.I. • .V ., ;- ?,.. _ . : . . r , 1 .. , /4 4 1, 4 t, — 1 ~' '' 7 ' , . 1,4,, -,,, ~.., .5 , . r . g,F....., •, . `.. ,•,.f. .

Mr. Ball, accustomed in his early lite to the getting up of evidence for prosecutions—accustomed in his mature age to the duties of prosecuting counsel— states " that the evidence of the mother of the un fortunate girl, and the evidence of Mr. Turner, the surgeon, had wholly failed in bringing home to the prisoners the infliction of the blow which was the cause of death." What then could Mr. Justice Tal fourd do ? The judges are to give judgment accord ing to law, and what is alleged' and proved, and not according to their private knowledge or private feel ings. No man could have known Mr. Justice Tel fourd for a week without knowing that, of the 3,400 members of whom the bar and the judges is composed, he is perhaps the very individual man who would be most moved to burning indignation against such re welting cruelty as was sworn to against the Birds.. But, with all his tenderness fur human life, and all his pity for human suffering, he is not the man to condemn a Mother Browitrigoo• who, according. to Canning, in the "Anti-Jacobin," " Whipped three finale children to death, end hid them in the coal-- hole," unless by due course of law and according to the evidence. "Judex bonus," says Coke, "nihil ex arbitrio suo faciarnec propositio domesticm voluntatis, • sealjuxta leges et jura pronunci e t ,m* and Dyeref the earliest reporter in our law, says, " Judici s es t judi care secundum allegata et probate." Tried by these maxims, the summing-up cf Mr. Justice Talfourd will be found just what it ought to have been—just what every lawyer and gentleman expected from fl m an o f his sense and standing in his profession. That the view taken by the Learned Judge was the right, and the only proper one is further de monstrated in this—that the course adopted , by Justice Talfourd received the recognition and assent. cf on e c f the ablest °lawyers, and one of the hest judges and most humane men in Westminster Hall—Mr. Justice Erle. The map , mint animus of. the Times in making the charge, how ever, is very apparent, and peeps out in every line of its three articles. True, says the Times, Sergeant Talfourd never had a very high repute in Westmin ster Hall as a lawyer. Never was there ft more flagrant misrepresentation. For nearly seventeen years Sergeant Talfourd led the Oxford Circuit (a circuit which produced an Abbott, a Taunton, a Campbell, a Maule, a Vaughan Williams, a Thomas and John Jervis, and a Ludlow), and for nearly ten years he divided the business in the Common Pleas with the present Chief Justice of that court. How a man caw lead a circuit for seventeen years, and pos sess leading business in a superior court of law for ten years or more, without being a sound lawyer, we do not ourselves very well set, nor, we may remark, does the profession at large. When the Times states that it will not condescend to answer the accusation ef being actuated by feelings of ani mosity against Justice Talfourd, it acts judiciously. The deliberate, the cruel, and the unjust attempt of the Times, in 1845, to exclude Sergeant Talfourd's name from the Oxford Circuit reports, is not for gotten, and was than indignantly stigmatised in the Chronicle, which now joins the Times in its ignoble and unworthy efforts against a most amiable man, and a most able and learned judge. The rarest part of the joke, however, is, that the Times now asserts, " he came forward to do what he could to promote the elevation of Sergeant Talfourd." It is very true that two days after Sergeant Talfourd had been elevated, the Times encumbered with its help in a rather patronising article, a man whose claims had been put forth ten, six, and three days previously in this journal. The modesty of this tradestnaelike attempt of the Times to trace the appointment to its supposed in fluence, we exposed somewhere about the middle of last July. If the Times supposes that by the reite ration of this baseless assertion it can induce any human being to think it bears no malice to Justice Talfourd, it hugely deceives itself. Its animus is proved by its refusal to insert the calm and temperate letter of Mr. Ball, which we print to-day. To the Learned Judge, to whom that letter refers, we say, in the words of Coke—" Fear not to do right to all, and to deliver your opinions justly according to the laws, for kar is nothing but a betraying of the succours that reason should atibrd. And if you shall sincerely execute justice, be assured of three things—first, though some may malign you, yet God will give you his blessing ; secondly, that though thereby you may offend great men and favourites, yet you shall have the favourable kindness of the Almighty, and be his : favourite; and, lastly, that in so doing, against all ssandalous somplaints and pragmatical devices against you, God will defend you is with a shield." // • * 7 Rep.; 27. - •t llYeee Rep., 12.

EYEBR,OWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Ila!dnesa removed and prevented, by the use of G RIMS TON E'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR. It you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an I Is. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Ilerhary, Highgate, ani will be found at page 11, unter the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 184 G. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 43. Gd., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage wita the case. - The I Is. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its malty virtues, as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in yosr walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-,bades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar et, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Harries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimstole, bearing date 18th February, 1523. This was on account cf its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to he stamped.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAT.—Strcng gales from the S.W. have been blowing all the day, and the sea has been dashing heavily over the ramparts of the town. A letter has been received from the coast of Africa, dated off " Aghwey," 21st of December, giving the following as the distribution of the slave-trade sup pression squadron at that date : " On the North Coast—The Centaur (Commodore), Alert, Heroine, Pluto, Teazel., .and Spy. "In the Bights—Kingfisher, Ranger, Rattler, (order 3d to the South), Phcenix,.and Heela. " South coast—Cyclups, Star, Sealark, Firefly, and Waterwitcb. "The Phoenix and Rattler have etch captured an empty vessel. The Kingfisher captured the ' Tarn O'Shanter,' with 305 slave; on board. She had been chased off the windward part of the statiou by the Ranger, and in company with the Ranger's pinnace, atsigted at the capture of the Brazilian schooner Clio by the Hecla on the 28th of November. "The Kingfisher's pinnace and the Phoenix cap tured the Beretta under Brazilian colours empty lately. "'Tie slave-trade still goes on, and the demand is greater' than the supply on this part of the station. To the northward the trade is completely done up, owing to liberating the slaves at the Gallinas. On the south coast the trade is at all times carried on more briskly than at any other part of the station, so that a sailing vessel cOnsiders it quite a godsend to be sent there.' "Mr. Templar, midshipman, belonging t o th e ph m i x , died some days since. He served three years previously in the Favourite. "The Phoenix - and Kingfisher have been sickly. "The Commodore is expected in the Bights, to wards the end of February. " This goes by the Guardian, and sails for England to-morrow. WOOLWICH, Amur, 4.—The Rosamond steam sloop, Commander J.

The fact, description of the suspected person, was ad -2basvc.ttla: andof female J t a h n e u i a a i . i last, ad vertised in the line and Cry, and also republished by the police of the sisterkingdom where it i s usua l to expose these announcements to the public gaze. In the town of. Ros common a woman came forth and surrendered, confessing herself to be the Elizabeth Wilson proscribed, and acknow ledging the crime. She 'was taken before the lion. Martin Finch, and subscribed a deposition, stating that she had stolen the watch, bad taken it to Dublin, and there it had been pawned by a girl named Rose Malone, at a pawn broker's in Gaol-street, for 4i., which they divided; she travelled with Rose Malone till they parted at Mullingar. This being communicated to Manchester Inspector Mac donald was sent over to fetch her. She was brought here at 311 expense of 41., and now it has been found out that the whole story is a fabrication to get a gratis passage. She had formerly lived in Manchester, seding oranges, and got enough to take her to Ireland; but now, wishing to return, she resorted to this ingepious cheat on the officers of justice. There is no such street as Gaol-street in Dublin, and when passing through liluilingar she was quite at a loss to pcint out the places she talked of. She was remanded, being pro bably liable to indictment for obtaining goods (her laicals at least) on false pretences.—Hanchestcr Exanziner. _ .

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—Yestereay afternoon was devoted by Lord John Russell and his friends to sight seeing in Manchester. The first place they visited was the large establishment of Mr. Fairbaitn, the eminent engineer, whose name has been associated with that of Mr. Stephenson in the construction of the Britannia Tu bular Bridge. They were received at the entrance of the works by Mr. Fairbairn and the other partners of the firm, and went over all the -departments of the esta blishment. Their stay here was, however, compara tively abort, as there was n e c essar ily muc h similarity between the works here and those of Messrs. Nesmith and Gaskell, at Patricroft, which they:had visited in the morning. His Lordship minutely examined the loco motive engines, of which twelve or fifteen were in various 'stages of progress, as well as several large stationary engines which were also in course Of construction. The drawings for these engines were also inspectiid by his- Lordship; but thole which most attracted his attention were the drawings for the Britannia and Conway Tubular Bridges, as well as the drawings for a tubular girder bridge, constructed on the same principle as the Britannia, one of which is now in course cf construction for the Norfolk Railway over the Bure at Yarmouth. Leaving these gigantic works, his Lordship next turned to several small tank engines which were making, combining locomotive and tender in one engine, and calculated to use not more than half the gaantity of fuel expended by the ordinary locomotives. These engines are ordered for the Ulster and the North-Western Companies, and are intended for those branch lines on which comparatively little traffic takes place. These engines have a 10-inch cylinder, which, it is remarkable enough, was the size first adopted on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Since then the power and magnitude of the engines have gone on gradually increasing, till now that the necessities cf the times have induced the railway com panies to return, at least on their small lines, to the standard which was adopted in the infancy of railway enterprise. having gone over these works, Mr. Fairbairn accom panied his Lordship and party to the establishment of Messrs. l'arr, Curtis, and Co., in the immediate neigh bourhood, where Lord John minutely examined the in genious mechanism there in u€o for making the cards used in the manufacture of cotton. On leaving Messrs. Curtis's establishment, the party proceeded to the Mayfield Print Works, a firm which has acquired so much celebrity from their production of the fabrics so familiarly known as " Hoyle's Prints." Here they were received by Mr. Alderman Neild, the senior partner, and the other members of the firm, who conducted them over the various departments in their extensive premises, and showed them, in order, the whole process of printing. Proceeding first to the roller-room. the party inspected a great number of cylinders deposited there, on which were engraved the various designs that are afterwards to be stamped upon the tehric, from the simple spot or parsley-leaf up to the most complex and dslicate patterns. They then proceeded to the engrav ing-rootn, where the party—and Lady Fanny Russell in particular—was much interested in finding a number of females employed in the, to them, novel species of industry, that of engraving the design upon the cop per cylinder, from a design previously traced and painted on the copper. The e:xsployment of females in this branch of industry is, we believe, peculiar to the Ma)- field works, where it was commenced a short time ago as an experiment; and we understand the firm have found it to answer perfectly well. Leaving the en graving -room, they then proceeded to the printing-room, where the cylinders so engraved were at work. In a large, lofty, and well-ventilated room—the most perfect of its hied yet constructed—twenty machines were standing in a row, each employing two men and two boys, and each throwing off, when at full speed, a" piece" of thirty yards long in a minute; each too, according to the pattern on the cylinder at work, preparing the cloth for receiving from one up to as many as six different colours. Mr. Alderman Neild here explained to the Premier the superiority of the cylinder-printing to the old, though not yet wholly obsolete, practice of printing from blocks. According to that system the piece of goods which was thrown off by one of these cylinders in a minute would, even at the most rapid rate of working. have occupied a quarter of a day. The superiority of the cylinders was very early apparent, but practical diffi culties for a long time prevented their being brought into general use, the difficulty lying chiefly in the en graving of the cylinder so as to make the pattern fit on the cloth. But this difficulty has been recently com pletely removed by the inventive genius of Mr. ilaskell, of Manchester, to whom the manufacturers aro under many obligations for several other mechanical facilities in the process of their industry. The worthy Alderman further drew the attention of his Lordship to the fact that the cloth as it came from the machine had not re ceived its colour, and explained the process of fixing the mordents or chemical preparations, which prepared the cloth to take on the required colours, in an after stage of the manufacture. 'these mordents are for the most part metallic oxydes, their nature varying according to the various colours required, and they are applied to the cloth in a solution of vinegar. The party then pro ceeded to the drying-stoves, where the cloth, fresh from the machines, anti prepared as above described, is brought, and the pieces hung up in a room open on all sides to the air. As the cloth dries the vinegar flies off, ' while the mordent is completely absorbed into the fabric. This accomplished, the cloth is removed to the dyehouse, which was the next department his Lordship and his friends visited. The Alderman here explained and made some experiments to show that the chat), pi epared as above described, is in a condition to receive various and even contrasting colours from the same material of dye, according to the different descriptions of mordents that have been used in its preparation. He also went into a minute explanation cf the process used in pro ducing the beautiful lilac colour for which the firm have attained so much celebrity,.and which no other establish ment has been able to equal. After spending some time in the chemical department, where Mr. Graham ono of the partners, explained the process by which the different mordents are prepared, the party proceeded to the de partment for bleaching the do lame pieces, where his Lordship was shown a new process which has recently beea adopted fur what is technically called " sulphuring the de !eines." According to the existing plan, the cloth is hung up in a room made air-tight, where the sulphur is burnt beneath it until the fabric is supposed to be saturated with its fumes. The new process consists of a series of rollers driven by machinery, round which the cloth is driven, while the sulphur is burning beneath as before. By this means the sulphur is more closely in corporated with the substance of the cloth; and the ad vantage of the process is, that it give; the fabric that eofaaess and delicacy to the touch which has hitherto been supposed to he peculiar to fabrics made of the Cachmeee wool.
