ROCHDALE, WEDNESDAY Moen.
This evening Mr. Cobden, M. P., addressed his
constituents in the large room of the new mill of Messrs.
Kellen and Kemp, situate in Beillestmet. The hon. gen-
tleman was accompanied by Mr. G. Wilson and some other
gentlemen from Maochester. On his entering the carriage
of the mayor at Rochdale station the crowd collected there
attempted to take the horses out, that men might draw the
carriage, and they only refrained from carrying their inten-
tion into effect at the urgeat request of Mr. Cobden himself.
Over the meeting Mr. J. IL Moony the mayor, presided ;
ed on the platform were Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, M.P.,
Baxley, M.P., Meters. George Wilson, Henry Ashworth.
Platt, the French Conant at Manchester, fie. The room
was delimit', crowded. About 4,000 people were meant.
Mr. Cobden and those who accompanied him were loudly
cheered on entering the room, the cheering being spin and
again repeated.
The CHAIRMAN briefly introduced Mr. Cobden to the
meeting.
Mr. CUBDES's rising was the signal for loud cheering.
After it had subsided, the hon. gentleman, after a few pre-
liminary observations, said be had uo account of his labours
in parliament to give them, as for the last eighteen months
he had, while honoured with the confidence of his Sovereign
and country, been seeking to form arrangements which
would unite the countries of Franco and Englund in bomb
of unity and peace. The French had not taken
any steps until just now to liberate commove,
but it had only tam the -uswarnsusst tae yews'
to do that which took us thirty. Everything had been done
in that country which could be done under the circum-
stances, but still much remained to be dune, and that be
believed would be done shortly. The French were the
most democratic nation under the sun, and whilst they
were constantly producing things for the rich, aristocratic
England was nearly on the other hand entirely engaged in
producing articles for the consumption of the Domes Ho,
therefore, urged that the treaty would be reciprocal.
The people of England during the existence of the corn
laws ate annually six million quarters of corn less than
after the corn laws were abrogated. Just so would
it be with the ill-clad people of France ; they
would, by means of this treaty, be better clothed.
He looked upon this treaty with France as the
Seal stone of the pillar of free: trade. The honour was
sit due to him, but to the present government and their
peat Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Applause.) lie then
went on to speak of the advantages of drinking French
wines instead of port end sherry, and mid that since the
treaty had been made a friend of his had looked over the
drinking soap of England, and be found that in a past age
they were nearly all in honour of French wines, but the
drinking soap were now no longer so. His friend accounted
for it in this way, that when the people drank the French
wines they became merry, while when they drank port and
sherry instead they grew stupid and went to sleep.
(Laughter and applause.) He was not so sanguine as
to the effect of this treaty as to suppose that
a !great trade would spring up at once, but he was sure
that ,our social and political relations with that country
would, and must be firmer and more tnutworthy. He re-
pudiated the idea that France was contemplating an attack
upon England, and they ought to pause before they be-
lieved the mentions of not over-wise admirals on that sub.
int. He was glad to say that. Rockdale was the only
town ia &gland that is public meeting amerubled had
refined to establish a volunteer corps. lie was in France
at the time, and he believed from what be there saw that
the people of Rochdale were quite right. He bad been
led to form this opinion from what he per-
sonally knew of the feeling et ?ranee towards
Forglised. (Applause.) He firmly believed when the
volunteer sage was going on in England as wet, that
the French nation contemplated invading this coun-
try. As to the naval armaments of the two nations, be
made an estimate that spring, and including the ten years
preceding 1858 this country had, despite all the outcry of
the people of England as to the navy of 'rano., spent half
as much more then that country did. There had always
been a sort of tacit understanding between the two coun-
tries that England should have a navy about double that of
Friars. The fact was, that while England had spent on
her navy half as much again as France, she had had an ad.
vantage over that esaMtry of 29 per sent She Gould build
her engines at 30 per cent. lees, while her coals and stores
each cost her 20 per out. lees. What was
the moon of all this expenditure, then? Why
it was through the invasion panic and the admirable mis-
managemeut of the Admiralty. His friend Lord C. Paget,
when speaking iu parliament in the spring of 1859 on the
mismanagement of the Admiralty ( Lord C. rapt leis
then out of office, they mast remember), alai gni
be bad ' gone very caref idly through the ups&
tun of the Admiralty daring the preseding
years, and he hail discovered that 5,000,0001. steeling
had been spent in that period on ships of WYE which were
unaccounted fur. Now neither he nor Lord C. Paget
meant to say that the Admiralty had absolutely pocketed
the money—they were too hosed to do such a thing as
that—but that they were unable to keep clear accounts, and
bad spent that sum in making thiogs which were positively
useless. In 1850 it was seen that the application of steam
to ships of war was necessary, and that such ships would sn.
pereede all the old sailing line-of -battle ships. Well, what
did France do? Why, she at once began to apply steam to
the new vesiiels she was building, and the old she had Milk
but this example was only in part miowed b) Eagles/
Elbe knew es well as Francis the advantage of applying steam
to her ships, but our Admiralty still continued to build sailing
vessels after the plan of old, and thus money was foolishly
and uselessly wasted. He then came to speak of five years
LW, which included the Crimean war. A few mwesle
had then been covered with iron plates, sad the French go.
Tegument seeing the advantage of them built two ironiandi
ships, one of which was celled Ls Gloire, air
Admiralty since then had constantly been amusing thew
selves at Shoeburyncas by getting Mr. Whitworth and Fir
Wm. Armstrong to make cannon which would send shot
through iron-plated ships. The people out of doors only
could correct this state of things. The idea which hail been
palmed off upon the public, that the French were building
vessels to invade this country, was ridiculous, and
he ventured, upon his conscience, to snort that no
peaks delusion than that lad been panned upon a
pisegis since the days of Titus Oates. Mr. Cobden
slut alluded to the mismanagement of the Board of Public
Wiwi* and quoted a speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone on
the ameagement of the British Museum, in support of his
of the management of that Ward. During
lite time he was negotiating the treaty with FROM.
be ride movement in this country was being carried
'on with the greatest vigour. The speeches delivered at
eine of them meetings were of the most irritating kind.
At one of them a Somersetahire fanner, on being asked.
supposing the French were to invade England, what he
would charge them fur his corn, replied that it would only
be bought by them at the price of their blood. He did not
believe—and he had as good an opportunity of judging as
any man—that the French nation ever contemplated inn,
ding this country. If he had ever believed it—if he had
seen that France was creating a navy equal to ours—he
should have been a traitor to his Queen and country if he
had not denounced it with all his might. Before Frame
should have a navy equal to ours, without reasons
for having such, which she had not now, be
would vote 100 millions sterling for the defence
of our country. After giving the etatistica of the men and
boys in each navy, and other facts connected therewith, the
bon. gentleman went OR to speak of what he called the
meat lamentable, the most deplorable civil strife which was
now going on in America. He hoped our government
would not interfere, and be deprecated our having
sent 3,000 troops to Canada, since there was no
prospect of an attack being made upon it by
Americans, and since the act might eogender ill-feeling
in the breasts of the Americana towards us. After
briefly speaking of co-operative societies and parliamentary
