Palmerstony on rising to acknowledge the addresses, was again enthusiastically cheered. lie said : Mr. Mayor, and gentlemen, I should indeed find it deficient to express in words the high gratification which I have felt at the honourable, cordial, and generous reception which I have met with in this great commercial district. The approbation of fellow countrymen must at all times be one of the greatest objects of men who engage in public life. It is the encouragement to exertion. It is the incen'ive to public duty, and it is one of the greatest rewards to those whose zeal and energy may have been attended with successful results. (Cheers.) It is, however, 'peculiarly gratifying to those who are charged with the conduct of public affairs, and whose time is greatly engaged in the details of daily duties, which leave little leisure for disposing of time in a manner that they might wish to do—it is peculiarly gratifying to a man in my p os iti on t o h ave th e oppor,- tunity of visiting such a greYcommunity as that which I have the honour to address--(hear, hear)—a community (I am speaking now, nor merely of the particular town in which t stand, but of that vast district of which that town is the soul and centre) which is the hive of industry. (Cheers.) It is one of the great sources of national wealth. It is the cradle and nursery of genius—(cheers) and it .must, therefore, be doubly gratifying to visit such a district. in the first place, as affording an opportunity of becoming acquainted with those men who are amongst tha great sources of national wealth and elements of national character, who, while they are pursuing their industrial occupations, are raising the country in the scale of nations—(cheers)—dfveloping the intelligence and intellectual faculties of their fellow countrymen— promoting their welfare and increasing the sphere of the happiness. (Hear, ihear.) It is also useful that by her sound intercourse we should become more intimately acquainted than otherwise we could be with the feelings, with the wishes, as ill the wants, with the opinions of such an influential body of the community. (Hear, hear.) And, therefore, gentlemen, not only am I most grateful to you for the good opinion and kind reception which I have met with, hut I am also proud of having had this oppor tunity of making a more personal acquaintance with you, and of seeing the great progress and developement which this vast and great city exhibits. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, it is true, as was stated, that I felt it my duty, as a member of the legislature, to support the development of those great principles of trade which that great and eminent man, Sir Robert Peel, who was more peculiarly connected with your town, was not the first to inculcate, because the truth is of more ancient date, but was the first that was able to carry that truth extensively into practical application. (Cheers.) Fortunately that great struggle of opinion which arrayed the people of this country into opposite camps, on the one hand ; those who are for f a i r an d unshackled commercial intercourse. on the other ; those who fancied they and the country had an interest in restriction—fortunately that struggle is over. The truth has prevailed, not only by the force of argument, but by the force and results of experience— (hear, hear,)—for no man who looks at the state of the country when our system was restrictive, and compares it ' with the vast impulse which has been given to the pro• duction, industry, and accumulated wealth of the country since that period, can shut his eyes to the fact that we have, at least, embarked in the career of sound policy—a career which never will be departed from as long as sound reason holds sway in the Government of this country, (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, that example is more powerful than argument—is more powerful than diplomatic persuasion to induc,3 other countries to follow our example. (Hear, hear.) When they see how, by freedom of commercial intercourse, the wealth and prosperity of this country has increased, they cannot but think that the narrow princiPles upon which their policy has hitherto been founded must be erroneous; and nation after nation—government after government—are insensibly falling into our track ; and if peace shall continue in Europe, which I hope and believe it will, I cannot but think that the principle of freedom of com mercial intercourse is destined to find a great and rapid development ; and that we shall find even those countries which we a( least hoped to see adopt it, imitating, tardily perhaps, but slowly and certainly, our example. (Cheers.) It is, however, amusing sometimes to see the manner in which those who found their practice upon this principle deal with those of the contrary school. It was the cry in Germany, when England followed the restrictive system—it was the cry that England, by its prohibitory duties, wanted to ruin Germany—that we wished to sell without buying, a problem somewhat difficult to realise —(laughter)—that we wished to inundate the continent with our manufactures, and take nothing in return—a most grievous and disinterested course, if it had been pursued—(laughter)—and that our restrictive system was to be the ruin of continental industry. Well, now, a different and opposite complaint is made. They say, " See the deep designs of those perfidious Englishmen (laughter) - they have ab dished all their rest rictions— they have allowed our corn to come in—they buy our corn out of our mouths (laughter)—and the consump tion of foreign corn in England is raising the price of every article of life upon the continent. (Laughter.) Well, gentlemen, I say that, whatever Government shall henceforward rule the destinies of this country, they must found their policy upon this principle of freedom of trade, and they must endeavour, by example, by argument, and by all other means, to induce other countries to adopt it in their turn. (Hear, hear.) You have been pleased, Mr. Mayor, and those who have honoured me with addresses, to observe upon the diffi culties of the period at which the present Government undertook the charge of public affairs. No doubt, gentle men, that was a period which appeared to be one of con siderable difficulty: It was my lot to be earned upon by my Sovereign to form an administration in consequence of various circumstances which had rendered combina- tions for the moment impossible. I called to my assist ance friends, whose public opinions I knew to be in accordance with my own, and upon whose proved zeal and ability I could confidently rely. If our endeavours in the public service have been saceessful, it has been owing to the ability, to the zeal, to the untiring and indefatigable labours of these respected colleagues. It has been owing to the generous confidence, and to the undeviating support which we have received from our Sovereign. (Cheers) It has been owing to the spirit— the manly spirit of the people of this country—(cheers) l i —aye, and let me say, not less than others, to the manly spirit and courage of those classes who might have been supposed to be swayed more than others by peculiar considerations—l mean the commercial, the mercantile, and the manufacturing classes in this kingdom—(cheers) —for a more noble example of public spirit, or a greater proof of the suppression of all other feelings than a love for the honour, the dignity, and the rights of the country, never was exhibited than was displayed by the mercan tile, the commercial, and the manufacturing classes in this country during the late war. (Cheers.) Our success was also owing to that which never fails to the heroic bravery of our sailors and soldiers (loud cheers) —ready to endure all suffering—ready to face and endure all dangers—sure to conquer the difficulties, whether arising from the strength of the elements, or whether arising from the antagonism of enemies. It was owing to the faithful co operation of our allies. (Cheers). And certainly, gentlemen. there never was a greater example of the rapid redress which is sure, sooner or later—in this instance it was sooner—to accompany wrong, than the events and results of the late war. Well, gentlemen, we are now at peace, and I hope that that peace will be long. (Hear, hear). Its duration must depend on the honour and fidelity with which its conditions are fulfilled. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers). I trust that power which brought it, and the hostility, either active or mor it, of all Europe, by the forgetfulness of international rights and duties—l trust that that power, having concluded a treaty, will observe that treaty—(hear, hear)—and fulfil it with faithfulness, and then, no doubt, the peace will be of long duration. (Hear, hear.) It will, of course, be the object of her Majesty's government to employ compa ratively—l won't say the leisure—but to occupy itself in peace with those progressive improvements which all human arrangements are necessarily capable of receiving. Progressive improvement is the law of our moral nature. It is that which alone enobles the individual—which tends to raise him in the scale of society ; and it is that which enables nations to fulfil the destiny for which their social and political instititutions were formed. We know that, in progressive improvement, we may reckon on the cordial co-operation of the country. (Hear, hear.) We know that, though sometimes there may be partial interests that may conflict with general im provement—and that is in the nature of things —yet we must bear with these momentary impediments, because they cannot be prevented. But we know that gradual improvements must go on, and the observance of public affairs musl teach mankind not to be too jealous of time, and to be content with that steady and gradual advance, which alone is possible in a free country like this. (Hear, hear.) Nations which are governed by ukases and edicts, may complain of their government if everything is not done at once, which they may think ought to be com pleted, but, fortunately in this country, improvements must be the re su lt o f a genera l concu rrence. Our prejudices must be overcome, our counter-opinions must be swayed, and though time may be required for operating improvements, yet these improvements, when made, are founded upon general conviction, carry with them the feelings and the opinions of the masses, and are ' more permanent and more valuable than if effected with undue haste. We have been reproached in Parliament with having done but little in the course of the session. Well, gentlemen, if every session were to produce a small number of useful laws, I think you would not have any good reason to complain of your representatives. (Hear, hear.) Improvements which are gradual are generally better considered and more effectual, and therefore it is no real reproach to the legislature of the country, that but a small number of improvements are made in each session of its sittings. It has been observed, and I have been much flattered at the observation, that, in the course of my admini.tr ition of the foreign affairs of the country, I was Careful of the interests of our subjects in foreign parts. (Hear, hear.) Well, gentlemen, in that respect I felt that 1 was only the organ of the British nation. (Cheers.) I felt that any government that did not extend the strong arm of protection to all those who are in the right in any part of the world, would not be the faithful organ of the people whom they were appoints Ito govern. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) And, gentlemen, there is this to be remarked, that the difficulties that may arise in regard to the protection of indisiduals from wrong, are difficulties which generally arise in weak and small States—larger Powers are above these things ; the men who govern them have a regard for the honour of their country. They are men whose personal feelings teach them to respect right and wrong, and, therefore, with the large Powers of Europe, or witti the Milted States, we have little difficulty in pro tecting subjects, because there we find a sense of right and wrong, that, when appealed to, is sure to obtain justice and redress. (Hear, hear.) It is among the small States, where from various circumstances which I do not wish now to go into—the nrinciples of right and wrong are not so steadily kept in view—it is there that we are most frequently called upon to interfere; and then when we do interfere, people say, " you attack the weak." Why these countries abuse their weakness ? They make their weaknes s a pretence for wrong, and they trust that you will over look their delinquencies, merely because you are able to obtain redress for the wrongs inflicted by them. (Cheers.) There is one other topic which has been alluded to, which is one of the greatest public interest, more p irticulariy belonging to this district, but through this district most important to the interests of the country at large. I mean the supply of that-raw material which is the foundation of our vast and national industry. (Applause.) It is per fectly true that there is a great evil in depending for that supply upon one source alone, and more especially upon a source which, from many causes, is likely not only to fluctuate, but to diminish, because we know that the progressive development of national industry in the States tends from time to time to increase the quantity of their produce which they work up, and which, therefore, cannot come to be worked up in this country. There are many sources to which attention has been directed. There is India, which has been adverted to; and I can assure you that the attention of the Government, and the attention of the India Board, has been sedulously directed to removing those obstacles which have, for a long period, prevented the supply—which is abundant in the interior—from reaching the coast, and thence coming to this country. (Hear, and cheers.) And no efforts shall be omitted which can properly be made for the purpose of opening the channels by which that supply may flow to this country. (Cheers.) There is another source, which is not of the same magnitude, but yet, is not altogether to be despised—the source which is afforded by the western coast of Africa. lam happy to say that the efforts which her Majesty's Government, and which different governments—for there has been no difference in regard to that—the efforts which successive governments, for a long period of time, have made for the suppression of that abominable crime, the slave trade—(hear, hear) — have been to a great degree successful. (Loud cheers.) The trade to the Brazils has almost entirely ceased, the trade to Cuba has greatly diminished ; the trade to the t lr ß yeeeg r sa a ur, z ll i t t l t o s rha u abd s se: b d vwei t eic o t with hi,m ak the as s e 6 t 0w. 0,0 you 6e o l:tave O lerl rn o y r 7 kcinno n oa ,o ,tvsh :o aat of unhappy vc,alosfurtnictdardevelopment aeblni Well,i p n mg immense tt t every hoef development of the palm oil trade, of the ground-nut, and of other produce; and I cannot but hope that cotton, which is the indigenous growth of that country, and which, I believe, is of very good quality, may also come in for its share of supplying the industry of this country. (Hear, hear.) But a matter of such importance, as endeavouring to enlarge the source of supply, c a nn o t, I can assure you, fail to occupy the serious attention of her Majesty's G ivern ment. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, among the different things which seem to me peculiarly to do honour to this great community, is the attention which you pay to the improvement of those who are unable to contribute much to their own impeovement. (Hear, hear.) I mean the diff sion of knowledge among the working classes. (Cheers.) There cannot be a more honourable devotion of time, there cannot be a more proper application of wealth, there cannot be anything which more ennobles the community, which occupies itself in such pursuits, thin placing within the reach of the lower classes the means of instruction, which can only be accumulated together by the employment of wealth, and by the occupation of leisure. And in this great city it is a pride to see that, while you are amassing fortunes by industry, that while you are raising the talent of the country by the magnitude of your undertakings, and by the additions which you are making to the national resources, you are not unmindful of the cultivation of the - intellect of those you employ—that you do not look upon them merely as machines—(cheers)—who are to produce so much profit to you, but that you view them as rational beings, whose intellect it is your duty to improve; and that vast sums are expended, and great exertions are made to raise them in the scale of society, and to raise them also in their own self-respect, by increasing their welfare, their happi ness, and their intelligence. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I beg again to say that it has afforded me the greatest pride to find myself received as I have been by such a great com munity as that which I have now the honour to address ; and I am persuaded that my colleagues, as well as myself, will derive the greatest satisfaction from finding that our exertions in the public service have obtained for us the approbation of so distinguished a body of the community. I may say that meetings of this sort are among the proud sun-shining periods of public life, and I am sure the satis faction which I have experienced will be shared equally by my colleagues, and in their name, as well as my own, I beg again to return you my sincere and most heart-felt thanks for the honour which you have done us in the reception which I have received. The noble lord resume 3 his seat amid the most enthnstastic applause. - As those on the platform were about to retire, it was found that the door by which they had entered, and which was also the only means of egress, was locked. A vigorous knocking was at once commenced, but some minutes elapsed before the door was opened. None more enjoyed the contratemps on the confusion of the corporate dignita ries consequent on it than the noble lord and his lady, for whom, in the interval, several cheers were called and heartily responded to. THE SALFOItD ADDRESS. The following is the address presented by the corporation of Salford : To the Right Hon. the Lord Viscount Palmerston, , Firtt Lord of Her Majesty's Treasury, the., the., &c. We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Salford, hail with lively gratification your lordship's visit to this borough; and we avail ourselves of this opportunity, with deep respect for your lordship's charac ter and station as first minister of the crown, to express the sense we entertain of your lordship's desire to give the sanction of your high name and position to the educational establishments of the people. When we see your lordship voluntarily relinquish a hardly-earned leisure to discharge duties which perhaps might be ignored or neglected, without loss of personal popularity or party influence, we cannot withhold from your lordship our tribute of unfeigned admiration and respect, nor repress our desire to offer to your lordship a cordial and grateful welcome. We warmly congratulate your lord ship upon having successfully directed the affairs of state at so important a crisis in the history of this country ; and we desire to express our deep satisfaction and thankfulness that, under the administration and guidance of your lordship, and by the earnest mindednesss of a resolute and loyal people, England again enjoys the blessings of an honourable, and we hope a lasting peace. with its concomitant advantages of commercial and manufacturing prosperity. May your lordship long be blessed with health and vigour to continue the arduous exertions required by your exalted station, and to aid this country in maintaining its high position among na tions—a position, we would hope, not so much due either to her military strength or insular advantages, as to the moral influence of large classes in all ranks faithfully discharging the duties entailed upon them by an advanced Christian civil►sation.—Given under our common seal, this 3rd of November, 1853. STEPHEN HEELIS, Mayor. The noble lord replied at some length. TUE EVENING MEETING. The evening meeting was held in the new Free Trade Hall, Peter street, at half past seven o'clock. Considerably before the appointed time the whole of the magnificent room, which forms the principal portion of the building, was crowded to overflowing. The chair was occupied by Oliver Heywood, Esq., President of the Mechanics' Institu tion ; and, among those on the platform, w ere t h e M ayor of Manchester, the Mayor of Salford, J. Bretherton, M.P., J. A. Turner, Alderman Langworthy, Sir John Potter, Alderman Ross, the Dean of Manchester, W. Fairbairn, W. Brown, M.P., &c. Lord Palmerston, who was again accompanied by Lady Palmerston, and a numerous body of friends, came on the platform at about a quarter to eight o'clock, his appearance being the signal for a burst of applause, which was conti nued for several minutes. The noble lord, who looked much better than in the morning, as also Lady Palmerston, seemed much gratified at his enthusiastic reception. The Chairman introduced the subject of the meeting as the celebration of the opening of the new building connected with the i ns ti tut i on i n David-street. He briefly referred to the circumstance which prevented the noble lord who was their guest upon that evening from being present on a former occasion—a circumstance the nature of which, he observed, forbade the members to think of their own per sonal and casual disappointments. In the name of the assembly, he then expressed to the noble lord the gratifica tion which all present now felt at being permitted to welcome him among them. (Loud cheers). The chairman glanced at the history of its institution since its origin—nearly 30 years ago—and contrasted, with satisfaction, the warm and enthusiastic support which that institution had since earned and now received with the cold and faint encouragement which greeted the first efforts to advoc a te the establishment of such an undertaking for the spread of education among working men. The present occasion had a special I feature in the presence of the no'9le lord who bad come to j idge for himself of the mi;latiiiecs of their industrial, commercial, and educational institutions. (Loud c'iecrs.) lie glanced at the great change which had taken place in the vast d velopment of the material and com mercial wealth of that community since the foundi.tion of that institution. More gratifying still, if less strongly m irked, was the changa which had taken place in the social and moral condition of the community. In special he alluded to the satisfactory condition which now charac teris ed the relations between employer and employed, and congratulated the meeting on the change which had taken place, when Preston manufacturers and Preston artisans had forgotten their former prolonged strife, and the latter body alone subscribed among themselves £lOO for the establishment of a free library. He spoke of the public parks which had been opened in Manchester since 1825, when that institution was founded; the free libraries, the art institutions. and, finally, the great industrial exhibi tion, the building destined for which was now rising up near them. The speaker then proceeded to a lengthened and detailed history of the foundation, management, progress and success of the Mechanics' Institution, with the several chances which had taken place in its guidance and scope. In the manner in which the institution had adapted'itself to the varying wants of the community, he pointed to an earnest of its success. If one path of use fulness, either in its recreative or educational scope, was closed against it, at once, and with equal or increasing success, it struck into another. After a lengthened analysis of the advantages which the institution conferred upon its students and members, the chairman concluded with au eloquent appeal to the public for further confidence and support to the institution, and resumed his seat amid loud ap.,lausp. * Mr. Scitt, Principal of the Owen's College, addressed the meeting in further explanation and advocacy of the objects, management, and advantages of the institution. The Rev. Dr. Vaughan was the next speaker. He de livered a brief but eloquent and vigorous address upon the change 'Which had taken place. within the memory of many • living men, in the social and educational con dition of such communities. He contrasted the condition of such a community forty years ago, when the only insti tutions of an educational character were those destined exclusively for the higher classes, with the present day, when the means of cultivation, on the most splendid scale, were placed within the reach of the nest humble, and men of all classes met to celebrate the opening of such an institution, fr im some of the poorest in society up to the prime minister of England. Referring to the constitution of such institu tions, he remarked that, as political or religious questions did not come within their sphere, the present was not the season for saying what ever y E ng lishman must have it in his heart to say in regard to the services which had been rendered to the entire of Christendom, and of humanity, by the recent policy of Lord Palmers' on. (Loud cheers.) The Chairman then called upon Lord Palmerston to address the meeting, after warmly expressing his sense of the ready kindness with which the noble lord had, when waited on by him, at once consented to be present on that occasion, and to assist the undertakings which the founders of the institution had in view. Lord Palmerston then came forward, and was received with enthusiastic applause. He said: Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, it is impossible for any-Englishman to be present upon this occasion, in this magnificent building, and amidst this vast assembly, which I have the honour to see, without feeling proud of the country to which he has the happiness to belong. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) And if any Englishman must be animated by that feeling upon an occasion like this, how much more gratifying must it be to one of those who are charged with the conduct of the administration of the country? and who must feel gratified and additionally proud on seeing that which is an indication, not merely of the pro• gressive wealth of the country, not merely of the increas ing influence of the country—but which is a proof of the spread of those feelings, of those sympathies between different c'asses of society, which are the surest foundations of the welfare and prosperity of nations. We are in a build ding which, by its splendour, is worthy either of an Empe ror of the present day, or of one of those great mercantile states which, in early periods, played 5) great and promi. nent a part in the affairs of file world. Bat it is remarkable not merely for the splendour of its structure= it is remarkable for the purpose to which it has hien applied, and for the support which it has received, evidently from the number of those who are collected within its walls. There are two remarkable circumstances which are peculiar to the age in which we live—the principle of co-operation for common objects, and the general .diffusion of knowledge. In former tittles there were men eminent in every branch of human knowledge, but, to the masses of mankind, the avenues of knowledge were to a cellain degree closed. But the arrangements ()rioter periods (and which are improving from day to day) tend to spread over the whole mass of the commu nity, or to all at least who are willing to receive inform,- rnation, the results of the labours of science, the results of the investigation of the learned, and for this purpose all the institutions, of which this is so distinguished a member, are undoubtedly peculiarly deserving of en couragement and support. .The intellectual., qualities, as well as the m ora l fe e li ng of of our nature ar e scatte re d broadcast over the f a c e of mankind. We find them everywhere in the Mgt:test or the lowest "classes. Their development depends upon the opportunities which may be afforded, and it- is to these institutions that we owe the opportunities which are so advantageously afforded. In this country, fortunately, the roads to wealth, to honours, are open to all. Some of those who have held the most dis tinguished situations have been men who had sprung from Hit, humblest stations, and had raised themselves by their talent and their good conduct. (Hear, hear.) And the great merit of institutions such as this is, that whereas the labouring classes are unable, by their own means, to obtain those books and those means of instruction which are necessary for the development of their intellect —whereas their hours of leisure are small, and they would be unable to cultivate their own intellectual faculties— you open to them the whole range of the treasures of science, and, in whatever line their genius may be best adapted to follow, you afford them the means of culti vating their intellect, and of advancing their knowledge, and, by that. knowledge, their happiness and their welfare. (Cheers.) Man is endowed with a double nature—the moral and the intellectual. Both contribute to hi= hap piness fend to his pleasures. His moral pleasures are independent of external support. They begin with his home, and they constitute his domestic attachments ; extending a little further, they assume the character of friendship ; in a further range, they become love of coun try and patriotism ; with further development they assume the character of benevolent philanthropy. These are in the power of man. He needs no assistance: to , enjoy the happiness which consists in the exercise of his affections. But his intellectual qualities require assistance for their developement, and it it is true that knowledge is not only power but pleasure, I say those who afford to the labouring classes the means of acquiring knowledge, not only contribute to their advancement in life, but contribute to their innocent and laudable enjoyment. (Hear, hear.) There is great respect due to axioms and sayings, but they sometimes mislead, although they may generally be right. We have often beard it said, quoting from the words of one of our great poets, that ..A little learning Is a dangerons thing, Drink deep, or taste not, the Pierian spring." I hold that that is a mistake—(hear, hear,)—and much error has it produced. A. little knowledge is better than no knowledge at all. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The more knowledge a man ,has,: the better ; but, if he cannot, if his time does not allow, if his means do not enable him t i acquire great and deep knowledge, why, let him have as mach as he can, and, a d n e d e p e l I;e n e f r s). the s A p n r i d n , g l d t t h p o e u n g d h u h p e n i a t y , s b l e i p a s b n l en have d e p e nd upon it, he will b e a ll t h e b etter for i t. ( H ear, if drink il tasted its waters, he will go back to the same source whenever he has an opportunity of doing so, and that the draughts, be they great or small, . will refresh his mind, will invigorate his intellect, will raise him in the scale of society, will contribute to his individual happiness, and make him a more useful and more honourable member of society. (Cries of hear, hear, and loud cheers), Well, gentlemen, the first object of these institutions ought to be that which we have been told is the meaning of education, namely, to teach a man how to live. To teach a man how to live, we ought, in the first place, to direct his attention to that pursuit to which he means to apply himself in life. There he should drink deep—there he should enclea your to perfect his knowledge. But ought he on that account not to endeavour to enlarge his mind, to extend his views, to gain knowledge upon other themes, which are not connected with business or the profession to which he devotes himself ? " Oh, but," we are told, "you will make him a smatterer of knowledge." Why, better to be a smatterer of knowledge than ignorant and uninstructed. (Hear, hear.) Now, there are many lines of information which it is most essential for the working man to pursue, and which he cannot by any possibility have an oppor tunit3 of informing himself about, unless by means of such institutions as this. In the first place there are certain laws of nature, some which regulate the trade in which deepco untrreflection.o enmbpyloayed, some which govern and control his indus kthrenyoi,swand others upon which depend the comfort and well- being of his existence. And vet these laws are not to be in attended which would ylo,e simple- minded nn exmpannrienTneh,eyanadreatrlelenrnelysutlnt be known by consulting the works of those who have explained them. If a man were to go into a town in a foreign w w it e h re bod la il w y s, and with death ; would he not be reckoned mad, if he pains, the imprisonment,ywiiotlnation were not at the earliest opportunity to make himself informed of those laws, in order to avoid the penalties f whi e h which they imposed ? But there are laws of nature, which area pplicable to the daily pursuits of men, and the neglect of any of which is attended with bodily pain, in the shape of disease, imprisonment in the shape of loss of the power of body, and even death, by the neglect of the sanitary conditions upon which life depends. (Hear, hear.) Well, th en , h ow i mpor t an t it is that the working classes should be aware o f the conditions inseparable from health to them a n d to the i r f am ilies. Of these laws, through the works which are accessible in this institution, the working man may inf orm himself, and he may learn, that by attending to these rules he may contribute to his healt h and happiness, ancl.to the welfare of his family. (Hear , hear.) Why should the life of the labourer not b e now and then cheered by the cultivation of the imaginative faculty ? Why should not the day of fatigue be cheered in the evening by occ asional indulgence in the pleasures of poetry, and in the pleasure which the best works of ction impart ? These ;occasional recreations, though hey ought not to be the sole object of reading, are yet useful, by giving buoyancy to the mind, and inspire the the mind, also, frequently, with noble sentiments and with feelings that deserve to be cultivated. (Hear, hear.) Well, gentlemen, you cannot expect that a working man, having but a small period of time to devote to pursuits of this sort, should become a historian, but why should he not, in books which are well adapted for the purpose, gain a general knowledge of the history of his own country, and with some of the causes of the rise and decay, and fall of nations ?—judge a little of the causes which con tribui e to national prosperity—judge a little of the causes which tend to national ruin ? Your institution affords means by which the working man may inform himself on these points, and acquire a knowledge on matters of considerable importance. Again, there are other points—other matters which it is most desirable that the working man should be able by your library, to gain information about. Why should not the working man have some knowledgle of the constitution i f the universe ? I may be asked, " What, wou!.l von make him an astronomer? DJ yen expect the working. man to calculate the eclipse, or the orbits of c omets, or to examine the planets, and to enter into all the refinements of astrono my?" No; but of all the sciences, the mechanism of the universe is the one in which it is most easy for those who have little time to spare to get a knowledge of the facts which are the results of deep study, of long observation and of calculations which none but the most scientific can make. (Cheers). The ignorant man believes, perhaps, that his country is the only country in the world—the ignorant man believes that this world is the only great part of creation— that, the sun is put there to warm him, and the moon to light him home at night, and the stars merely to amuse him as he walks home, but whet", by reading the results of scientific investigation, be is led into the secrets of that vast universe, the contemplation of which fills the mind with awe—l say that the man who is able to have access to books that lead him to this contemplation, must have his mind raised from the ordinary and grovelling ideas of lire, and must find himself a superior being to that which he had been before. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, I think that it is clear that these institutions are most deserving of the support of the people of this country. (Rear, hear.) They are peculiarly congenial to the habits of the British They are peculiarly in accordance with the spirit of the British Constitution. They tend to bring t , , ether and advance the classes of society. They tend to knit them in bonds of fellowship. They tend to bring them together to co-operate for common objects. They tend, therefore, to consolidate the social and the political fabric, and to obliterate those distinctions which; although they must always exist in the different classes of mankind, yet,lwhen there is no contract among these different classes, are the source sometimes of mistakes and asperities, but which the mutual communion which social intercourse, which the conferring of reciprocal bene fits, tend to render the sources of good fellowship, instead of being the causes of jealousies and dissensions. (Rear, hear.) I again beg to congratulate the people of Man chester upon the noble institution of which this hall is the creation. I beg to congratulate them upon having led the way in the institutions of this country; and I augur well of a system which is supported by so vast an assemblage as thas which I have now the honour of seeing. (Hear, hear.) And depend upon it, gentlemen, that, much as the fame of this great state may depend upon its commercial prosperity —may depend upon its accumulated wealth—may de pend upon its vast commercial intercourse with the remotest parts of the world, that there is nothing which will conduce more to your honour—that there is nothing upon which you will reflect with greater satis faction—that there is nothing upon which you will be greater contributors to the happiness of your country, than by the means which you are taking to educate those who are unable by their own means to acquire that knowledge which it is fitting for them to p )ssess ; and as long as you go on in this cause you will have no reason to regret any labour or trouble which it may entail upon you, and you will have the satisfaction of feeling that you are raising in the social scale those who are dependant upon you. You will we rewarded not only by the grateful affection of those upon whom you confer such benefits, but you will be re warded trio by seeing, rising under your parental care, a race of men mare and more intelligent—more and more worthy of their country—more and mete deserving of the 'care—the fostering core which you bestow upon them conducing to the honour and character of the country, and to the power and prosperity of the land in which they live. (The noble lord, who delivered his address in a loud and well-sustained voice throughout, concluded amid the long continued applause of the whole assembly.) Mr. Wm. Fairbairn said : As an officer of this institution, I have to ask you to give an expression of your thanks to the noble lord, in the first place, for his coming all the way from London to be present on this occasion, and for the eloquent and excellent speech you have just heard. I hope you will give that expression of opinion in a cheer such as only Manchester men can give. (Cheers.) I shall ask no seconder for my motion, and I hope you will give utterance in a way fitting both to Manchester and Lancashire. Three enthusiastic cheers followed this appeal. Three cheers were also given for Lady Palmerston. The assemblage then broke up. AS MANTLES and JACKETS are so very generally worn this Season, J.

Stirbey and the Divan congratulated the country on having some twenty millions of piastres in reserve. But when the new government and ministry succeeded to office they could find no trace to such reserve. On the contrary, they found a deficit. These assertions and counter state ments are now publishing at length in the official journal, causing the greatest exasperation in the partisans of Stirbey, and consid rable exultation in th' u of Vie Ghikas. STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DUMFRIES, LIVERPOOL AND GLASGOW.—It is reported that a company is in course of formation, for the purpose of running a screw reamer between Dumfries, Liverpool and Glasgow. A vessel, draw ing about eight feet of water, capable of making the voyage betwixt the Nith and the Mersey in twelve hours, which would make Glencalpe, and in spring-tides the King holrne quay, can be completed for £5,000. Half the requiste capital has been subscribed by the Dumfries mer chants within a week. It is estimated that goods could be brought from Glasgow to Dumfries at one-fourth, and from Liverpool at one-third the present railway charges. THE CZAR AND GENERAL LIMERS.—The Emperor of Russia has sent the following letter to General Luders. Its tone and tendency has excited some remarks on the part of the Continental press :—" Taking into consideration the indispensable necessity you are under of seeking a cure of the grave malady which has affected you for many years, I have consented to accord you a year's leave of absence, to enable you to repair abroad, conserving to your present emoluments. Acceding, further, to your second request, I have relieved you from the duties of Commander_in-Chief of the Second Army, retaining to you, however, the dignity of my Adjutant-General. Appreciating your efficient services, I hope that if circumstances give me occaticn to recall you to employment before the expiration of the period named, you will come to resume your duties with the same zeal and alacrity which have ever signalised your military career. a These narrow minded Clamourers—Professors who repro bate improvement and discovery as innovations—are silenoed by the most respectable part of the Faculty, who do not scruple to recommend such articles as have acquired celebrity by their intrinsic merit. But it is a subject of regret, with all classes of the community, that the most valuable Patent and Public Medicines are often counterfeited. JONES'S MEDICINE WAREHOUSE is established on the principle of selling Genuine Patent Medicines and Drugs only Captains of ships, officers in the army or r distant navy ladies and gentlemen , and others , g oing to a part of the empire, or into the country, may at all times have a large or small assortment of these Approved Medicines, safely packed, with ample directions for use, so as to go without risk to any distance, furnishing an admir able resource of superior and well-tried remedies alway at hand.
