she oaropted to maintain het owe with a population
such as he had &earthed. It wee not the poosession
of land, or gold, or soy transient thief that eon-
etitoted the wealth, the greatness, the power of a
Dillon. These rather lay In the moral qualities.' the
people, in their order, in their pelf-respect, in the mode
In whteh they respeeled the rights of others—in their
determiaation, aooorr'lng to the simple words of the
04.41. m—the highest character, his thought, a man
could &Hein Ii the whole room of his life—in their
determination to do their duty In that state of lite to
whiolo it shall please God to call them—(applatua.) He
knew there were many other subjects which he might
beadle, but he should forbear doing so. Hs would,
• however, just lay this—lt was quite *leer that aew
oocilicts were rising between the two great distinc-
tions of Capital and Labour. Now all they had
to do was this—not to incline the balsams to
the one or the other, but to hold it equally be-
tween the two and to see that both had their righta.
It most be admitted that Capital had Its rights as well
as Labour, and that Capital has its dif6oulties as
well as Labour ; It would be • very great nod blessed
thing if, after the sharp tionfilete that occurred between
thew intermits, people were brought into a logical,
reasoning state of mind, so that they might bring
their grievance and wishes before each other—(hear,
hear). He wished that the capitalista end farmers
would very largely relax their authoritative stiff-
nese, and would het: the most minute details the
labourer urged, and give due oonelderation to every
point he proposed, and, so far as they were able, oar-
form to Ma desire. He wished, on the other baud, that
the labourers, the working olassee—okilled and no-
aldlled—would "amidst the Resat reepoesibility of
Capital, the great danger to which it was exposed, the
great hasards Incurred in Its management : that they
would give due consideration to the statements urged by
the masters. He was sore that only in this way amid
they secure a hippy future. Bat if England were to
go on with a series of strikes, new demands and
resistaxioes, with a determination on both sida that
they would only act by intermediate parties, and not
bring heart to heart sod mind to mind, he folly believed
the labourers would And they bed frightened Cspftel
°et of the country, and the &lOW's's would flod that
by fully and Inattention to their wants they had driven
the labourers into an attitude which they never would
have amarned if they had been treated with considera-
tion and ooefideoce—(neer, hear). Both aides mast
ermeedis something; both most acknowledge seek
• dilhouilies, both most believe that either side
was &peeve. These were the views which he held alter
mush experimios. So fez as he was personally eon-
aimed, he had for forty years always received from
the working olaame the greatest kindness and sone fence,
and in all his treamiations, and they bed been very
numerous and varied, be never was misled by false
statement' from one of them. Let him entreat them
to ley these thiags seriously to heed. He had never
S attered the working alarm by touching upon political
questions, and baying that they were the wisest men
end at to govern emptree—he had never talked
such nonsense. He bad mid they were no wiser or
better than others, but quite as good; but he
wanted them to rise to a seam of their groat
position and responsibilities, individually and wile.-
lively, as in &large of some of God's greatest
the right of free government, Ul open Bible, an ample
and unrestrained liberty even bordering on Hoene".
Let them bear in mind their. responstbilities. Let
them be careful to bring up their children In the way
they should go, let them impart to this the faith and
fear of the Lord Jesus—thou their own oomfort would
be that in their latter days their ehildren wool I rise
up and call them blamed, and when they departed
this world they would transmit to them their duties
and reeporodbitlties, and they would have done their
best to perpetuate the freedom and happineen of the
British empire. In order to effect that they must have
ever before them their greet stud glorious destiny; they
most remember they had greet duties to discharge here
to that and; they must look to that "ally which hath
foundations, who." Builder and Maker is God." Hav-
ing that before them it would sweeten their toil, elowste
their thought", iodates totality to their neighbours,
harmoay among all dames ; employers and employed,
rich and poor, great and soiall, wise and simple, all
' would enj .7 that white God had given them, mid they
would have a foretaste of Hutt which their brollies,
on the other side of the channel had prostituted to the
worst purposes; but three before him, with a holy
sentiment of gratitude to God aid a "ease of their true
Position, would have a foretere oo earth moo of that
which was called "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity'
—(great applause).
• working man named TAYLOO proposed a vote of
thanks to the Lel of Shaeteebury for his extellent
address, whith he hoped would 6nd an echo In all
their hearts, as well as the prayer of their Hereof.
°Whin BAILIT secionded the propreition, and /poke
of the noble earl as the great philanthropist who for
the lest 40 years had devoted his life to bemolitting the
working *lease&
The Rweoa submitted the proposition, and seem-
ingly every heed was bold up in approval of the
motion.

The Nona Kill, In respouse said he wee exceed.
'ugly gratified that what be had said should be so well
reasived ; and he could not but valise the vote of thanks
they bed been pleased to pass. Hs hoped he had not
said anything unpleasant; and he mast list pardon of
the young ladies for venturing to make any oommente
on them, but he did it entirely out of love and admites
lion for them, and not from any deals, to be eveastie
or erithael. He was very glad to came to the town of
Weymouth: be was never here before, but the; must
take ears not to restive him too well, or perhaps it
mialat make him come again—(rea* applause.)
