LORD STARLET AT LYNN.

On Wednesday Lord Stanley, M.P., addressed a
lugs and enthusiastic meeting of his courtesan at Hinges
Lynn, on the pretest aspect of foreign and domestic polities.
With regard to the wee, the hope he bad about a yr ar ago
expressed, that It wield be of me long duration, had been
justified. There was no record, he believed, of any
Europe= ohms& of awl magnitude ending so quickly, a
eircutestases which indicated that race bad became, or
was becoming, the natural condition of modem society.
Mr. Pitt was stated to have ones said, when accused of
making undue einesseimes is • commercial treaty with
Prance, that it was • matter of no greet import=s., because
a treaty was only Wading daring pesos, sad pesos with
France could not be expected to lest a very long time.
We had cow got beyond that state of things, and
though we were yet far from the realisation of
Mensal peas, there were international interests

tioa to nation earl • gradual dinned= of armaments

teem people and peals. The treaty a perm be thought,'
hod bass remised with satishormi, bet without arm-
simas, whisk was all that ramesable people expected ; bat
he thought its teems were for We important than the spirit
is which they mutually ssgstlated. • treaty, though me.
rally binding aid sawed, was not legally enforceable, fee
there was a law mart to take ageism* of its break ;
a if there were, than was no intereatioaal polies
to isetwee its deems. Trestles could, therefin,
always be broken by them who made them; excuses
were aver wanting; ad neither prises cot peoples cared
much for the perm opinion of say warm bet their one,
which warmer*, with them in melt mature. Terms of
peace, to be Isetiag, meet be not only hosourable, but such
that neither panty shield have an Interest to break them.
With regard to the present prospects of Europe oa this sub-
jest, he said that, diplosatically, then were four conti-
nental powers which had aleamsd to stand is the ant rank,
bet pinta:ally Austria and Prussia had played • seeeedary

able to involve Europe in war. Russ Ind • certain kind

soul will of its rater ; sad he believed that the Cast's love
of pesos and desire for social proven was really a part of
his character, and not uses= to • temporary purpose.
With regsrd to Fran, although it was an article of belief
with some that her restless ambitioe and warlike temper
were Sill a ages of baps to Europe, yet during the last
year there had Pea apesnal desire ID Frame, for pesos, and
a very suing psalm epos the 'overarms% by its ow. sub-
jects to make perm Napoleon the Third had, by direst
leg the areal= M his subjects to industrial enterprise
ratter than foreign magmas, given mother proof that he
eadsrstood their temper and tendency. Ia the disporting
of those foreign powers, therefore, there was ma ream to
hope for a contlausace of rm. The general coarse which
this country ought to puma ia ter future foreign policy
was plain. No doubt there were oases, such as those of
some of the protest Italian governments, where the nits of
cruelty perpetrated In the ease of law justified, even de-
manded, nmemetrases by foreign countries, on the ground
of 110111•11 a humanity ; ethers, ism, like that of Sardinia,
when we were bound to protect • faithful ally; but as a

Hoglaad, so eastitated, was destined to lead mankind out
of their pretest transitional state to a better and happier
futon, deetroyieg abuses net by direct attack, but by the
itiresietible attraction of example. Timing to our in-
ternal policy, there were many questions of deep later=
which could not at present be stirred at =range. It
would be premature to spook of financial reform, until our
war eapanditure was paid off; but than. were two taxes so
objectionable on axial sad economic gronsids,that they m.ght
well be remitted, one at the mum of maintaining a
higher income tan than would he atomise necessary. The
tantrum duty wee a Sae on predawn, wee not felt by the
very richer the very realise, and wee now driving business
from our own late foreign heads; and the paper duty was
vexatious In collation, clinked improvement in manure*
tore, leaded to rain the price of an article, the doused
la which exceeded the supply, and hindered the
staid= of chap literature and news. Parliamen-
tary reform must neessearily be defend He believed •
very general spathy prevailed respecting it ; but he wield
say that either the title g ought act to be do. e or it ought
to be dose effectually—no smell measure could or ought to
pass; and so government ought to take up that eat hat en-

of deurviag officers. If the andel clam from which officers
were taken were cheesed by this measure to may great silent,
it would be a misfortune—a eoustitutiosal danger. An
army ',hue officers solely depended upon the Crown
for means of subeisteace might become a dangerous
isetrument in the heads of an unscrupulous government
against the people. But he believed that result was quite
out of the vitiation ,• the army was sever a lucrative pro-
fession; it afforded, dories poem, very little mom for
ambition, it was apt to lead to habits of oupense, and the
education required for it was wetly hi obtain ; it wan not
likely therefore to be selected by paresis of the least wealthy
classes. The prepoaderams of one clams amongst °Sinn
depended, in fact, more on the general lutes and habits of
the community, than upon any exclusive system at the
Horse Guard,. The objection to military reform, on the
ground of its intuferiag with the Crown Lord Stanley
combatted by pointing to the navy, whichl wan repre-
sented is the Rousso( Commoss,and governed like any whir
department reeponeible to parliament, eau by arguing thattis
parliament voted nthney far the army, it bed a right
of eacertaining how that mosey was applied. But

timed of complaint was that no are was takes to shoos'
the Attest. Ail, he believed, agreed that there melt
to hi a ohm* to this, and the only question
was whether the test to be imposed should b•
merely an essisding test or a sompetilire coo. He

(co +teary to ea u'S urged) that ths test of knowledge
applied to peons estemless life was to a great "intent a
moral as well as gm laldisettual test, proviso the eminence
if Industry, porsomosts, and stoedy habits mach more than
of mere talon, wkioli Tose not by any name the first quality
required for MMUS la web examinaUms. He admitted
that the quad= obonld be looked at on its own merits, and
not with ream. to Its indirect beating on the quest ioa of
»scuba ; that, is eauniaatioos carried too far, there was
a risk of pedantry ; that accuracy of knowledge, not
*Rime of attainment, should be aimed at, and that COO
should be taken to give, as for as possible, as equal vela. t
attaiaments of different hied'; but whilst there wan no
infallible way of judging men's abilities and characters, on
the whole the competitive plan was the best. Ho »pouted
it became it excluded absolute inefficiency, favoariume, or
suspicion of favouritism, and carried out that great and
sound idea, an open mom to all. He advocated a more
ready transfer of alivU nevants from one department to ano-
thee, so as to facilitate messotiou by merit rather than by
seniority, w.thimst eseltbig jealousy, and the separation of
merely mechanical from mental labour, than reducing
the number of fermate required In the higher
grades, and modules their work of a her who
nod therefore more attractive. With »-
foresee to law amendment he believed that the groat
majority of thinking 'ma were agreed that the maleeleatical
courts, with their nunbrons and antiquated machiaery,
ought to »dome away with, and probate of wills destded in
a new court. The oily difference of opinion wanes to tie
isoustinition of UM sow court, but he hoped that the differ-
ence between the two bills before parliament would be set-
tled, end an effective measure brought into operation ;
greater facilities were required in the hauler of landed
property ; and for the sake of agricultural improvement the
nasal magma of lend ought, se far as possible, to be
the absolute mashy of it, isipendestly of the claims of
others. As recommended by the Statute Law Commission
a board was required to miming new bills
before and daring their ma'am throagh parliament, to en-
nun their being clear In metals, and sot repugnant to
foramina. rho essoolidalios also of the statute law Itself
was required; the separation of obsolete laws from those
atonally la force, and reduction of the whale within eampa
votively small balk. Oa one subject—that of ineniage and
divorce—the state of the law was absolutely disgractefuL
He did not wish to intend the right of divorce beyond the
cause of adultery ; but it was monstrous that • husband
who had been deserted and wronged should be only re-
leased by a special. act of parliament, costing about
1,0001. The Lord Olumeellor had a bill en that sub-
ject before parliament, and it we. to be hoped that
the 11111111011 would not pass without the establish-
moat of a cheep and simple tribunal for Games of the kind.
Lastly, a =thither of jostles was respired. Without some
such enthral controlling authority ell projects for law
amendment would be fragmentary end imperfect. That
want it would not be difficult to supply. He advised • divi.
Mos of the duties now devolving upon ths Chancellor
a. Speaker to the Home of Lords and highest jedi-
trial authority. Patsies over minor matters, his lord-
ship then spoke of his vote on the Sunday queetioe,
stating he was ashamed, not of the vote, bat that
it should be held to reclaim apology or explanation. He
maintained that the laws were for the imaintenaaes
of social order, and not for the enforounent of any
real or apposed religious obligation. The feeling whicl
had bees evinced on this subject showed that many who in
theory admitted the right of private judgment, is practice
reverted to the theories of former times when the private
judgment of their neighbours offered from their own. His
lordship depreested what was sailed the easeerustism of
immobility, asserting that in Ragland no man could be a
reformer who wen not is mom seam a emeervative; atd
an w could be a true conservative who was not la some
team a rekesaer.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT STROUD.

STROUD, TEUUDAT.

Lut night, Lord John Russell, taking advantage
of the Whitsuntide holidays, delinnd his promised haws
to the "Stroud Mutual Improvement Society," on the

" fl'udy of Hetory," and the large Subscription-room and
galleries were crowded to excess by persons of all ranks and
both sexes. W. H. Stanton, Esq., took the chair.
Lord Jour Rnesslih, after some remarks on ancient his-
tory and historians,addressed himself to the history of modern
times. He cited the free states of Italy en the first which
nude progress in arts and letters, pointed out how Rome
hai decayed through the neglect of religion, traced the
awakening of Christianity through the energy of Luther,
, and the religious coetroversy which led to the war
'of the Reformatioe, which began in the 16th century,
and could net be said to have been concluded until the end
of the eaventboth. The hiaory of that great epoch had not
been related by historithe woithy of the *abject. He then
came to the study of modern history, especially_ in coo-
nexion with Spate, Preece sod Great Britain. Up to the
rbge of Philip IL Beath had flourished, bat that monarch
had imbibed the opinion that nee were got to be allowed
to bold opiates, adverse to those held by the church and by
himself, and this led to the mast dreadful wars and the sepa-
ration of the Low Countries. In Spain itself, by means of
She ldqutsitioa,.ll oppositioa wee successfully destroyed.
Every Sawn of the Reformation wee stified—fint, by the
searing of all independence of mind, all exertion of intuit•
lax, a 1 the rewards which induce men to pursue the petits
of history; and, s.condir, Philip IL gained it by the
loss of his subjects. The history of FMCS we. dit
(ergot, not so much fa principle as in degree.
With a monarchy which might be said to be absolute, pub-
lic opinion became totally at variance with It, and men of
the greatest eminence In Prangs actaally destroyed by their
pens the powerful monarchy which they assailed. Toes
followed the Preach revoluticn, of the horrors of which all
had read. The noble lecturer they came to the history of
oar own anutry, shot/tag how our liberties had been esta-
blished by Jolla Hampden and his companions. Oa the
subject of the Asstr.cso war of indepeedence he spoke
strongly. Men, he said, of the greatest political abil.ty had
oppo.ed that war, and the Oleos for which It had been
waged by England. The Earl of Chatham, Pitt, Burke,
Pox Lord Rorthiegbant, Sit O. Saville—all deacianced the
attempts of this country se iniquitous, arguing that they
would inflict great injury en this country in the event of
failure, arid that if they sniceeded they would set an
example of tyrannical government, and would weakest
the principles of goverument in this eonatry. The manwir
of our aspiration from the United States was to be regretted
more than the fact of that separation, for they were told by
trebling in the states of New England that the basks in
which the children and young man were taught at this day
contained accounts of that fatal contest, downhill, the sue-
semis of the Americans; bow bravely they had fought, and
how they had achieved their independence against the
attempts of the British kiag and the British parliament. He
was looking the other day, with a very different object to
the present, at the form of oath takes by New England
statesmen, and he found that they swore DDDDD to
obey any successor of George 111. We might soy
that this was uswise on their part, and that the
*outset having ceased long ago they ought not to
recollect it; bet he (Lord Job) must own that what
had been does was an efftht that might have been foresees
of the injustice of our attempt to enslave these people.
That was bad seed producing bad fruit, and we might
observe that, following the we teaching, whenever there
well say trifling dispute between this country and the
United States, there were not wanting pebble who end's-
soured to lutists. it, who endeavoured to induce the Ameri-
cans to believe that we were always wishing to get an advan-
tage over them, or to eitablith an authority whlehwe bed no
Naives ti *'aim. He was afraid that those harangues and
excitemeate—eo utterly groundless as be believed they were
with respect to the dispositioe whisk they imputed to this
country—were in fact nothing but the consequences which
we are deriving from the sins of our fathers, and that the
animosity then excited remains to the present day to be
visited as us. If SSW were so it showed how careful people
ought to be that they did not encourage any sweat bet
that which they felt themselves perfectly justified in ; and
he hoped it would wear itself out and come to an end ; for
of this he was fully punuaded, that no two nano s,
by reams of their oonsaeguieity, by reason of their lan-
guage, by reason of their similarity of thstitutions, and the
great cause which all uphold, ought to be better friends then
the Monarchy of Grant Britain, and the Republic of the
United States. (Loud chem.) Alluding to the subject of
religious tolerance the Bolls lord remarked on the disabilities
to which the Boman Catholic,' in this country hay been so
long subject. Our principles of governmeat led to fried
end those principles must be made universal. Ws must do
es
the Parasitises of England has of late years done, with
betas. siceptioe, and give free mope to religious opinions.
In conalusion, his lordship advised 'unbeaten in the study of
history rather to study the history of some particular period,
then to have at beast the mere dates of the whole history of
the world. It would be waste of time merely to collect in the
mind a series of dates or an epitome of evesta. They
should there events to their OWN and follow them to their
consequences.—His lordship spoke for nearly two hours.

RF.HAIKABLE ROE/MEIER—NOVEL INVENTION.—
Oa Thursday Jewel Gray, smut of respectable interior, was
brought up at Ospel-strest police-cake, Dublin, charged
with being the principal in some et the moat estre,rdinary
and ostensive robberies that lame been brought to light for
easy years. For • 000siderab!e time past some of the
most valuable parcels have beset per odkally abstracted

to send them to the amalgams, they have been missing,
and no Gee able to explain their ansooonstable disappear

and deposited is the ateem-packet sompatry's storm, where
