LECTURE BY THE RIGHT LION. Jr. E.

GLADSTONE.

The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, with his lady and
family, being on a visit to their kinsman, Sir S. W.
Glynne, at Hawarden Castle, the committee of the lite-
rary institution of the village adjoining determined upon
soliciting the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer to honour
their institution by lectUring to the members and ft lends,
having the twofold object in view of edifying and in-
structing the people, and at the same time recruiting
the funds of the association. The distinguished states-
man, upon the wish of the working men being commu•
nicated to him, at once, in the most agreeable manner,
acceded to the request ; and accordingly it was an•
nounced by placard that the Right Hon. W. E. Glad
stone would deliver a lecture in the boys' school-room,
Hawarden, on the 12t,h inst.—subject, "The Colonies
charges of admission, is. and 6,1.
On the evening of the lecture (says the Liverpool Mer-
cury), long before th- time appointed for the business to
commence, carriages, cabs, and ot',.er vehicles, beating
the elite of the district, began to arrive in the secluded
but ancient and picturesque village of Hawarden, and at
a little before eight o'clock the large school-room was
well filled with a highly intellectual and fashionable au-
ditory. The room itself was well lighted, and orna-
mented with evergreens, flowers, &c., for the occa-ion,
and when the rigid hen. lecturer, accompanied by his
wife, daughter, and Sir S. Glynne entered, they were
received with loud and continued applause. We ob-
served present, among others, the Rev. Henry Glynne,
rector of Hawarden ; the Rev. Mr. Austin, the Rev. W.
Davis, the Rev. Henry Foulks Buckley, Cant. Dundas
(son of Admiral Dundas), Capt. Jones, 2d Royal Lanca-
shire Rifles ; E 1. B4tH, and lady ; W. H. Daily,
E,q., and la iy, of Bryinbodiall ; Lieutenant Hancock,
Ronal Flintshire Militia ;R. C. Rawlins, F,.-q., and
lady, of Hope Mills, near Wrexham ; T. Baker May,
F-q., and lady ;T. Emory, Esq., Manor•hou-r, ntar
Holywell ; J. Rawlins, Esq., author of " Lectures on
E lucatinn," &e. ; Peter Williams, Esq., Dr. Nort.la
and lady, of Chester ; Charles Daily, E4q., Bryinho ;
Charles Buckley Clough, Esq., Mr. Council or Peacock,
of Chester Mr. Councillor Hickling, of Chester, &,1.
Sir S. Glynne introduced the right hon. lecturer to
the tneel',g in a few appropriate re.narks, and whe❑
Mr. Gladstone advanced to the tible the applause was
rapturous and long-continued. When silence was re-
stored, ho said :

Sir Stephen Glynne, ladies, and gentlemen,—lt is un-
necessary for me to trouble you with any lengthened
exordium or much apology for appearing before you on
the present occasion ; but the subject upon which I have
chosen to address you is one involving se many impor-
tant considerations that I felt, in order tt, do it full jus-
tice, it isai necessary that I should have access to my
books and papers, which privilege not being within my
power, I must crave your indulgence in quoting from
memory facts and figures which are needful as the basis
of groundwork of the remarks I shall this evening offer
to your notice. I shall not, however, burden my sub-
ject with many figures, which at all times are dry and
uninteresting ; but it is nevertheless necessary to ob-
serve, that respecting the emigration which commenced
about the conclusion of the last great war, there left the
shores of Great Britain, during the first fifteen years, an
average of 20,000 persons, and in the next fifteen years
the average emigration rose from 20,000 to 80,000 a
year. From 1845 to 1854 the average had increased to
267,000, whilst in the year 1854 alone the emigration
from these shores amounted to the startling number of
323,000 ; but for the nine months ended in the present
year, 1855, the number has decreased. Of these large
numbers of voluntary exiles, by far the greater propor-
tion has been supplied by Ireland, and especially in the
last few years such has been the case ; but there was
a wide difference between the class of persons who emi-
grated from Ireland and those who of their own free will
expatriated themselves from England, Scotland, and
Wales. Those who left the former place were of that
class whose necessities drove them to seek in foreign
lauds those rewards for their labour which could not be
obtained in their place of nativity; and perhaps political
and religious considerations were not entirely without
weight in influencing the Irish emigrants in the choice
of their new homes ; hence the bulk of those who leave
Ireland betake themselves, not to our own dspendencies
but to the great republic of America. In England, Scot-
land, and Wales, however, the leading considerations
which infilence emigrants are of quite another charac-
ter ; here it is not the necessitous poor who emigrate,
but rather the most industrious, enterprising, self•deny-
ing, and clever workman. He goes to a foreign country,
not because he cannot earn a living at home, but be-
cause he can get a better one abroad ; the English arti-
san or labourer also looks to the interests of those over
whom God has given him a control, and he sees in the
far-off country a better prospect for his family, a better
remuneration for his own labour, more of the comforts
and neoessities of life within his reach ; and he is will-
ing to forego the pleasures of the present for the hopes
of the future. Such are the men who are leaving our
shores in such numbers each succeeding year, and it is
therefore of the utmost importance to consider what we
are doing in our colonies, and what course ought to be
pursued. The extent of the colonies or dependencies
which acknowledge the sceptre of her Mejesty Queen
Victoria is another reason why our policy should he
clearly understood and properly defined. The entire area
possessions is set down at four
mofihneiornMsciajueasrtey
Majesty's colonial
s, nand of the entire population of
these immense territories only about one-third of the
people can be said to be British. It need not be asked
what will the proportion be in twenty years from the
present! The subject, therefore, with which we. have
to deal is not one that can be compassed within the
necessarily brief limits of one lecture, but it is rather
the study of the propagation of the human family.
I need not, however, stop to discuss the condition
and prospects of our possessions in the tropics ;
the state of these islands may for the present give
place to the investigations which more imme-
diately call for attention. Our business, then, is with
the colonies where free men have settled, where our own
manners are observed, our own language spoken, and
where the religious belief which we acknowledge also
obtains. The questions, therefore, which we have to
consider are—What is the end of founding colonies
How should they be founded ? And what tare the be-
nefits and advantages of colonisation ? Now, respecting
the first proposition .the common opinion entertained by
