PEOPLE of ENGLAND !—lf - you desire to know what doctorcraft really is, Just look at the "Medical Times and Gazette" of Saturday, Sept. 5, page 250, fir which it is proposed by a doctor to put the whole country under a system of syphilisation. We are perfectly astonished how any respectable medical journal can devote two.of its editorial pages to such an in famous idea; however, so it is, and the public will always be liable to such impositioas, until the only t.ae system be adopted, viz., " that the blood is the life, and its impurity the cause of all diseases." Then comes the question as to which is the p• oper mode of purifying the stream of life, and on that point, experience teaches that it can only be effectually accomplished by proporvegetable purgation.

(Cheers.) lam sure nothing can be more gratifying than the sight which you have all witnessed this evening. Some of the pupils who have received the well deserved prasse of your applause, as well as the premium and certificates, aro of the most tender age. There was one of 15, another of 14, one or two at 16, and one as young as 12 ; and that youngest of all, to my astonishment, receives a prize for his progress in the knowledge of social economy. (Hear, and cheers.) It is much too lath now to raise any question—though I am, unforimnately, old enough to remember much question being raised upon it —or even to whisper any doubt of the right of the bulk of our fellow countrymen, of all ranks and classes, to receive not only ordinary instruction, but also sound instruction on the subject in which the working classes have the greatest interest of all—l mean political philosophy, the knowledge of social subjects, and the improvement of our laws, in the amendment of which no class has so iname hate—l will say immediate—an interest as the working classes themsslve-. Ido hope and trust, though it is much too far for these good men to go themselves, that I shall meet, when I go in the capacity of president of the congress to be hell at Birmingham in the middle of next month on the subject of all the improvements that have taken place, and are about to take place, and are in contemplation, in matters connected with the social interests of the community—what may lee called social economy —I hope aid trust I shall have the happiness on that occasion of meeting some re presentatives of the classes of our working men in this great town of Manchester. I have said that there are some things less palatable, but more wholesome, than mere congratulations; and there fore I am about to address a few words partly to the working men themselves—those classes from which come the pupils who have been rewarded this evening, sted partly to the employers of them, classes and the patrons and supporters of these in stitutions. First, with respect to the institutions themselves. It is a good and safe rule that they should not attempt too much. In many plsces at tempting lectures has been a failure. I was not aware unlil I came' here yesterday, and particularly till I heard the report which Mr. Morris has read this evening, to how great an extent lectures had in this part of the kingdom been of late a failure. But that which is no failure, which requires very much less funds to support it, less trouble and en treaty among the working classes to get them to useful; and into resting attend, booksis t the furnishing to of r g e o a o d d . , The plan of the itinerating liberarses has been so successful that in whatever town or village the itinerant library so journs for three or four weeks in the course of its progress there is no other book in demand in that place, so much homage is paid to the judicious se lection of the works which load those boxes of the itinerating library. It is remotely connected with that remark that I should make an observation by way of advice to all the 100 institutions connected in the counties of Lancashire and Cheshire. I would strongly inculcate the absolute necessity of the most careful attention to regular proceedings in point of finance, so as never to have any confusion in the accounts—never anyinaccuracy, eitherin the keeping of them, or the applying of the funds, or in the raising of the funds: and at once to stop, as it is their duty, as well as their interest, when they find that any fund ,is deficient, and not to go on with the expense one month or day beyond the time they can afford it. I have known so much mischief to arise from the neglect of this ru'e which is not only the rule of policy, but of that which is the best policy, the rule of honesty itself—and I am allud ing to no institution whatever in Lancashire, Che shire, or Yorkshire, or the four northern counties, but urther to the southward there hive been the greatest possible mischiefs arising from the neglect of this rule, and from not remembering, not only generally and vaguely that which all men are very aptto admit, that "honesty is the best policy;" but that the rule ought to be, "Owe no man anything;" and that as soon as you find you cannot go on with out defrauding your Creator of his due, for that is the real meaning of it, it is your duty to stop and wind up, and say, "We find we have no funds for going further." Through the negloot of this plain and obvious rube. institutions are about to be given ' up, not only to the great injury of those who might, had they still been carried on judiciously, fairly, and regularly, have continued to profit by them, but to the great disrepute of the whole system, which the enemies, if any such still there are, of popular in struction are quite sure to lay hold of and turn against us. This last rule which I have urged is applicable to the working classes themselves, but there are also one or two other remarks which I would fain address to them. There are two courses of conduct of which I won't say that I should rigorously and without any poseibility of exceptionrequire one to be the rule, but as to which somewhere about a middle oourse might be taken. We have often heard of two 1 classes of men—one snaking a pleasure ofbusiness and the other proceeding on a perfectly oppositeprinciple, making a business of pleasure. And those classes adopt two different forms of a very old proverb which sets forth that "home is borne, be it never so homely." One class adopts that form, but the other is rather dispos. d to say " home is homely, be it never so home ”—(laughter)—and accordingly we see not a few instances in the upper as well as the working classes of persons_ anxious as often as they can to leave their home, either for innocent amusments, or for the tavern, or the alehouse, or the gaming -house. I am very far from saying that I would rigorously interdict all moving from home, all going up and down upon different-occasions, in moderation, innocently, prudently ; or from le!- quiring that men should belong to that class of which there are but few members, who make a plea surethere is an old proverb which says, ~A ll work and of their business ; on the contrary, I think no play makes Jack a dull boy.' But our amuse ment should always he sutordinate to business, and even instruction itself, the slaking the thirst of knowledge, should be make subordinate to the avocations of necessary work. The first duty of man is to provide fur his own independence by his own work, and not either to amuse himself or in dulge in any gratification—not even in that more than innocent, most sacred gratification, of assuag ing his thirst for knowledge, until he has done his day's work, and done that which is his bounden duty as well as his highest interest to do, work with his own hands fur the provision of himself and his family. (Cheers.) And when I talk of working men—l eon myself, and have been all my life a working lilan—(great c'eeerine)—and as long as I aui blessed with health enough to continue, even at my advanced time of life, I shall continue to la bour—(cheers)—and I shall never henceforth, any mere than I have done, partake of any relaxation, not even in gratifying my thirst for knowledge, until I have earned the right to do it by havin g aonc my day's work. There are other rules as to which I would allow no campromise, no middle course whatever, and they are the maxims which Ought to preside over a man's whole employment of his time. The one is to do one thing at a time only ; the next is never to put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day ; and the third, always to fisish one thing before you begin another. A very great and most celebrated man in Holland—De Witt—was once asked how it happened that he got through so much business and of such varied kind, for he was not only a great statesman, and a Mini ster, but also a most eminent mathematician and a literary man • and his answer was that it was by two rules which he always observed—to do one thing only at a time, and never to put off till to morrow what he could do to-day. These were his golden rules. I knew a great statesman, now no snore, of another country, who used to say, on the other hand, his principle was, "Never to do to-day what you could put off till to-morrow:" (Laughter.) And when I cried out against this as a most hetero dox political doctrine he gave me half a dozen in stances in which advantage bad occurred from his continual procrastination of measures that were pressed upon him.. These were certainly the ex ceptions to the rule. I admit that he urged his perverse maxim rather by way of pleasantry than anything else, and I think it was no recommenda tion of it that he could produce so few instances in its favour. (Hear.) Having detained you so long, I sill not now say much on the great advantage of regular habits and of strict attention not merely to what is commonly called honesty, whi c h o f course no man doubts it is his bounden duty as well as his highest interestto adhere to, but to guarding against those irregularities which degenerate into disho nesty, though when first admitted theyseem to have all analogous to it. L e t me o nly no appearance at add one word on the absolute necessity that, as at C.srlisle and in other parts of the northern counties, the rule should be for all institutions to be self supporting, as otherwise they could not beyond a very Short time be continued at all. I hope you will excuse me for having detained you so long, and perhaps so superfluously, on the present occasion, but I• could not do otherwise, when I had the hap piness of finding myself once more among you, than give vent to those feelings - which I have of gratification at what has occurred here this night, and the sight of these intglectual young moil carrying off the prizes, and al:o of Making a small return, the only return I could make to you for your - kind attention, by giving utterance to one or two maxims which are always admitted in general terms, but which in practice nra very much too (Ate negleced.

LIVINGSTON ON THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS OF AFRICA. LORD BROUGHAM AT MANCHESTER. On Tuesday evening the Bight Hon, Lord Brougham attended the annual meeting of the In stitutional Association of Lanca.hire and Cheshire, at the Mechanics' Institution, Manchester, on tho invitation of the committee of management, for the purpose of presenting the prizes awarded to pupils at the late annual examination. His Lordship was accompanied by Sir B. Heywood, Bart., Mr. Cheetham, M.P., Mr: W. Brown, M.P., and Mr. Crook, M. P., and was roceived on entering with loud cheers. HiB Lordship havinfi taken the chair, Mr. D. MORRIS read the annual report of the in- stitution, which stated that 100 literary, mechanics' and mutual improvement societies were in the as- , sneiltion, containing an aggregate of 19,880 male and 2,150 female, exclusive of dap scholars. The librariQs contlin 160,800 volumes, and the evening clas,:cs wen -attended by 8,050 males and 500 fe malei. Answers to questions to each institute, as ,to whit were the most attractive features, reported that in 30 it was the reading-room, in2B the classes, in 11 the library, intwo the lectures, in __two the singing, and in one (the Patricroft) the coffee—oLly 75 having answered the question. Thera had been 60 members passed at the annual examination, to whom Lord Brougham now, with the assistance of Dr. Hudson, presented prizes and certificates. Among them were four young women, one of whom, at Pendleton, had learnt to write in six months, that she might correspond with her husband, a soldier. Lord BROUGHAM, who rose amid great cheering, then said—l am sure that all who are here pre sent will approve what I have just done, though be attempt has been unsuccessful—namely to call upon the excellent member for this county, Mr. W. Brown to express himself what I know he feels, but rather delegites to me the expression of—his great satisfaction at what he has seen and heard this evening. When I name Mr. Brown I name one who has been a most steady and most effective and I will add, a most munificent patron of public edu cation—(cheers)--not only by the prizes which he has given—part of those which have just been dis tributed being his gift—but also by that great act of his in the—l won't call it the neighbouring, still less the rival, but the friendly town of Liverpool— (cheers)—a greater act of munificence than which I never have either seen or heard. (Cheers.) Now, when last, I. had the pleasure of addressing you,not in this building, but in the former residence of the Mechanics' Institution, 22 years ago, I took leave to state that there were some things less palatable ; but more wholesome, than mere vague commenda tion and congratulation—somethings which resem ble certain drugs that are bitler to the taste, but may yet—they do'not always, Heaven knows, pro duce a good effect ; and one of those things was to find fault where fault ought to be found, et the same time that commendation was given where prai.e was due. Upon that occasion I certainly had gre.it reason—l won't say to blame, but to ex press my. regret at the very small progress among our brethren of the working classes which mechan ics' institutes, apprentice libraries, and establish ments of that most useful, and .1 will even add most necessary description, bad then made, and I said that many years before that, and it is now upwards of 35 years since, we who had the first hand in es tablishing mechanics' institutions in this country had foundvery great reason to lament the indiffer ence with which at first the working-classes of our fellow subjects received the boon that was held out to them, and the slowness with which, even after years and years had elapsed, they profited by these: institlitiODS. 1 an' most happy to find that since that year 1835 there has been very great progress made in this country, as well as elsewhere, in ex--; tending the benefits of such institutions among those classes for whom they were more especially intended. At the time to which I referred, in 1824 or 1825, when I took the liberty of issuing an ad dress to the working classes and their employers, I stated that it was absolutely necessary, in order to induce the former to take kindly to such institu tions, that the management of them should more or less be left in their hands--(hear)--and it was proposed that the rule should be that something like two-thirds or three-fourths, of the committee of management should consist of the working men themselves. (Hear.) To a certain degree this suc ceeded, but I afterwards found that my friends in Carlisle and in other parts of Cumberland but par ticularly in Carlisle, for there it had its origin, had carried it further. My friend Dr. Elliott, who was, I think, afterwards mayor of the city, and was long an eminent practitioner there, and a warm friend of such institutions—he and his friends there had established as the absolute and peremptory rule that the whole managing committee, without any exception whatever, unless it wore sometimes a chairman or vice-chairman, should consist of men living by weekly wages. Not that those mon in their committee would anyhow disdain the aid that might be offered them, either by advice or by—l won't say more substantial aid, for good advice may be the most valuable of assistance, but by presents of books, or machinery, or money ; on the, contrary, they would most thankfully and respectfully receive such presents, as also any hints and suggestions that might accompany them ; but the rule was as I have said, and I should speak of it as the Cum berland rule, because it has been extended to other , institutions than those of Carlisle, and with the most perfect success. I have made inquiries as to the present state of that question to which [ am now referring, the question of these institu tions being found to benefit not merely the middle classes and the upper classes of society, as in too many places they have been found to do. Not that I complain of their giving that bene fit ; quite the contrary, for the more instruction and education are promoted among those classes, so much the better; but my complaint was, and our complaint at that time generally was, that. the be nefit was confined to those classes, and did not reach our humbler fellow-citizens. I hive made in quiries as to the present state of the casein Carlisle. I find that !the mechanics' institutionlounded in 1837, 20 years a0..0, before this rule was established, has au excellent library, and excellent room, and 500 members, of whom only 25 are working men. Then comes 1848, when this rule was first intro ducer], and another institution was established, which has 250 members, of whom 221 are men sup porting themselves by weekly wages, only 6 of the whole number being other than working men. They have a library of 1,200 volumes. In 1849 another institution wasestablished, with a reading-room and a library of 1,000 volumes. Here there are 150 members, all of whom receive weekly wages. And there are other institutions—one of 70 members, another of 90, another of 36, another of 30, and an other of 12, making altogether, with the 25 in the original mechanics' institution of 1837, about 640 working men in the city of Carlisle. A similar re sult has taken place' in my own immediate neigh _bourhood of Penrith, and other places in that part of the country, and it has extended very much into the neighbouring counties of Northumberland and Durham. But in the instance of Carlisle alone 640 working men attending almost every evening in the week a reading room, and benefiting by the excel lent libraries—that number, in a population of 30,000 gives a proportion which, if it were equalled in the town where I have now the happiness of ad dressing you, would be answered by 8,000 or 9,000 working men. But lam sorry to say this is by no means tne proportion in Mancheste r , for I believe 'the number is not much above 2,000 in this town. In the othef towns in your district, such as Stock port and Bolton, and others which are connected with the association whose prizes we have this evenin g presented to the pupils, there is, i n propor tion to the number of inhabitants, a considerably greater number of working men than there are in Manchester ieself ; but that is always the case with very large towns. But that very great progress is making in all branches of education there cannot bo the least doubt, and one circum stance which I have heard with the greatest satis faction proves it more than any other. It is that within the last 10 or 12 years those admirable in stitutions the Sunday schools aro no longer re• stricted to more instruction on the Lord's day, but instruct their pupils on the week days also, so that hundreds, and I hope very soon we shall say [ PRIM; 4D. STAMPED 50 .] the report was true. The only answer he could give was that if the Times bad said it the 10001. was certain if they could only get the proper fibre. He then advised them to get some of the fibres they had in abundance, which might be used in the ma nufacture of paper. They brought a kind of aloe, and another soft fibrous substance found round the roots of the wild date tree. Neither of these would be good for the purpose; but they likewise brought another termed ." buaze," which he hal known simply as used for making threads to string beads upon. In other parts the sinews of animals were used for that purpose ; but this rot was quite as strong, and when one attempted to break it it 'felt as if it would cut the finger.

"That this meeting desires to-express their warme,t thanks to Dr. Livingston fur. his visit to Manchester, to record their appreciation of the importance. of Lis di - coveries, their high sense of his noble exertions fur tiov extension of knowledge, as well as his self-devotion in again seeking to visit those hitherto ueexpllred countries with a view to their civili sa ti on b y t h e a id o f Christi anity and commerce ; that, feelin g a d eep i n t eres t in th e self-denying labours of Dr. Livingston, this meeting ear nestly reqne3ts Her Majesty's G overnm e n t will 'place at la's disposal a steamboat, duly appoin•ed an d ca p a bl e of ascending the navigable portion of the Z Imbesi, with such further accommodation in the boats and otherwise as may be deemed sufficient for the. exploration of its tributaries, and for obtaining and retaibirg friendly re lations with thr natives of that interesting region ; and the public bodies now assembled pledge thems,lees to use their utmost exertions for the promotion of these ob jects; _ that this meeting desires to impress on her Majes ty's Government their earnsst desire that the aid of the Portuguese Government should be specially requested towards facilitating in every pwsibie manner the furth(r researches of Dr. Livingston in the interior of Africa, and more espeti dly in the districts surrounding the ii cr Zambesi and its tr.butaries; that a sub-committee of the following gentlemen, being the chairmen of the public bodies here assembled, be empowered and requested to carry out the resolution of this meeting, with power to add to their number:—Mr. Cheetham, M.P., Mr. J. A. Turner, M.P., and Mr. T. 13azley." He expressed a strong hope that the Governmmt would afford the same aid in exploring the Z besi as they had to the Niger expeditions. The object was of national importance, and it was hardly reasonable that all should be left to private exertion, or private mercantile capital, to develope a country in which much would have to be done before commercial operations could be fairly entered upon. Mr. G. nADFIELD, M. P., in seconding the reso lution, pointed to the facts detailed by Dr. Living ston, As showing holy little this great commercial country had yet drawn upon the resources of the world. We were complaining of a want of cottons an I silk, and other products, and yet what an in exhaustible world .he great Giver of all seemed to have bestowed if we only made a right use of it. The motion was carried with applause. - Dr. LIVINGSTON wislicd. briefly to express his sense of the great kindness Lord Clarendon had already shown him, and especially by the interest he took in his safety while in Africa. Mr. EDMUND ASHWORTH moved a vote of thanks to the mayor for presiding. Mr. J. CIIEETHAM, M.P., in seconding the mo tion, contrasted the importance of the discoveries to be made in Africa to this country with what could have resulted by the discovery of the North- West Passage, on which such vast sums bad been. expended. From a conversation he had had with a person recently connected with the exploration of the interior of Australia he gathered that the cen tre of that great continent could never sustain a population, but, from what Dr. Livingston had seen, it appeared that the interior of Africa in some places was well watered, and capable of supplying products of vast importance to the commerce and happiness of the rest of the world. (Hear.) The motion was carried, and the meeting then separated. Dr. Livingston was to address a meeting in the evening on the missionary prospects in Africa. CRYSTAL PALACE HORTICULTURAL FETE. The second exhibition in the Crystal Palace, for the present season, of flowers, plant, fruits, &c., commenced yesterday, and will be continued this day and to-mor row. Unfortunately, the weather was not very propitious. in the early part of the day, and in consequence the fete lacked the interest and success which always wait upon numbers. The attendance at the Palace was small com pared with what has been experienced on former occa sians of a similar kind ; but, nevertheless, there was a tolerable gathering of the better class of citizens, and it was observed that, in spite of the heavy showers which fell occasionally, and the oppressive damp with which the atmosphere was charged, there was a c insi derable predominance of the fair sex. The same cause which kept -thousands of parsons back from the exhibi tion prevented those who were present from enjoying the open air attraction of the place, for so saturated were the walks and lawns with moisture that to walk about the grounds was a pastime too ridiculous to be practised. All were compelled, therefore, to pass the time within. the Palace itself, and those to whom the ordinary ob jects there were so familiar as to have lost the charm of novelty found ample sources of enjoyment iu the horti cultural treat spread out before them. The exhibition was in many respects an excellent one, but even if it had been otherwise the company wool f assuredly have enjoyed it, for to those who are doomed at this season of the year to endure the din and dust of the metropolis there are few things more pleasant or snore thoroughly whichwas laidcon o si u s t te i d n of th e flo n w av e s re, of fr t u h i e ts b , appreciated than a flower show. and T h v e eg s e h t o a vegetables, b uilding, so that ample space was afforded for all to witness it with comfort. On entering from the main stairca , e the visitor's eye is first drawn towards it by a magnificent collection of specimens of the lilium lancifolium, which cover that end of the tablcs, and which produce a very fine effect. Those are followed up by a beautiful display of asters—these again by a range of mag nificent hollyhocks—then dahlias of the most bril liant colours, then roses, and so on, the interest of the visitors being sustained to the last. But to be more particular, we shall endeavour to specify some the pro minent points of the show. There is a tolerably good collection of stow and greenhouse plants in timer. These show an improvement, as compared with the same class of plants exhibited last year, and prove what may be done in the way of encouragement for their culti vation. The first prize for this el sea was gained by Mr. li. Peed, gardener to Mr. Tred well, of St. John'e lodge, Norwood. The show of variegated plants is very floe , indeed, considering the period of the year to which we have advanced, this may be regarde , l as one of the most attractive features of the ex hibition, though, probably, it nriy not appear so to _ _ casual visitors. There is a fair supply of pfaiits remark able for fine foliage, and also of ex ,tic orchids. The latter are deemed by judges to be exceedingly good for the season. The first prize lot' these was gained by Mr. Whoa'ley, gardener to Mr. B. Kerr, of—Chea hunt. Ferns, both British and exotic, and plenti ful and good, this plant becoming every year more and more a favourite with the putlie.. Same beautiful specimens of lycopochums are r xhibifed , the first prize for these having' been gains! by Messrs. Parkes and Williams, of Holloway. Fuschias are very numerous. So also are the specimens of that fine flower, the achi metres, which ahoy a decided improvement as compared with last year. The show of balsams and coxcombs is very beautiful, and we have already referred to the ex• cellent effect produced by the blluea lancifolinm. The first prize for the latter was awarded to Mr. James Cut bush, nurseryman, Highgate. Of the cut flowers those most deserving of notice are the asters (German and French) and the dahlias. Some of the former have been greatly admired, both for colour and form, though pro bably the dihlias, many of which are remarkable for beauty, are the greatest favourles with the million. There are 10 exhibitors of 50 dahlias each of one claer, and of these Mr. Charles TurnEr, of Slough, has carried cff the first prize. For another class of 24 dahlias there are 30 exhibitors, of which Mr. George Ifolun s, nur seryman, Norwich, has gained the first prize. There ie a magnificent collection of fancy dahlias, for which Mr. The rurner, of Slough, has also parried off the first prize. H. Betteridge, of Abiegdon ; and for French asters by Messrs. A. Paul and Son, nurserymen. The show of fruit is even superior to that of the 11 ewers, and for obvious reasons much more tempting. Brest abundance and of excelle nt q ualit y . One p ine. Grapes, pineapples, peache s, and nectarines are shown. in apple weighs 12 lb. The first prize for this description of fruit was awarded to Mr. Thomas Dawson, gardener to Earl Cowper. Excellent melons, green nn#l scarlet fleshed, are shown in almndance. Figs, thouol not numerous, are of good quality ; and there are exhi bited some small plants bearing fruit. Apples and pears are plentiful, and of first-rate quality ; and it is not un worthy of being noted that there appears on the fruit table one solitary dish of strawberries from Birmingham. Among the rarer kinds of fruit exhibited there is a disk of mangoes furnished by Mr. Scott, gar d ener to Si r G. S'aunton, of Lee-park, and some attracted apart for much amateurs notice, There an d cottager', pers3n unknown has added a small dish of pomegismites. As a whole the yesterdayb le set exhibition of fruit is ad m i ra b le, and throughout the whole he r e is a of and it is worthy o f not i ce that the latter have i n som e in• stances rivalled th e pro f ess i onal gardeners , p ar ticularly iu fuchsia s an d th e different classes of ferns . The pro• duce of their kit c h en - gar d ens a l so s h o ws very creditably. teu T The weather, as already stated, prevented the com pany from enjoying themselves in the grounds, but all seemed to be happy and joyous within. Throughout the lay the band of the Coldstream Guards, in addition to the permanent band of the Crystal Palace Company, played favourite air', ao d t owa rds evening especially, drew around them large and admiring audiences. ..---•—=--- h a e n d d th S e t w om or a l c d h fo C r o t ai he . plaints.— r iHolloway's Pills the most tire::: [ADVERTISEMEN . j-- - 28 years, last and the individuals who have taken them, iecineutosfasLtoivneisr (nil remediyhisfomr medicine for having had recourse to all remedies without BUMS, in cases of liver and bowel complaints, inligestion, and other fearful disorders, these Pills have restored them to health, where in many instances they were considered to be past relief, such facts do not require comment, and all sufferers can easily prove their truth.—Sold by al' medicine vendors throughout the world ; at Professor 11, lloway's Establishments, 244, Strand, London, and SO, Maiden-lane, New York; by A.
