LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 14, 1864

The public will read with interest the eloquent
address of Earl RUSSELL to the assembly at Aber-
deen. It was replete with the varied information
in which the noble lord is so great a proficient, and
thus peculiarly adapted and appropriate to a learned

and refined audience• It was besides a refreshing

change from the mere surface politics of the day to
follow the course of a speaker who dived into the

depths of the past, end analysed the occurrences
that took place, and the influence which they exer-
cised upon mankind for good and for evil. A
learned address like this is oue which the noble
lord is well fitted to deliver, and for which his his-
torical knowledge eminently qualifies him. He said
himself that he considered it as within the "usual
scope of his labours." In some respects his obser-
vations partake of the character of the philosophy
of history, always an instructive and interesting
branch of study to a contemplative and thoughtful
audience. The questions which formed the basis of
the argument were significant ones, and well calcu•
lated to develop the full force of the idea. First—
"ls there any law or general rule by which the
decline of States is governed; and, secondly, what
is the general aspect of the world at present, and
doth it teach us to hope or to despond ?" In allud-
ing to the first of these subjects the noble lord very
wisely pointed out that many persons were too apt
to consider that there was a kind of fate or destiny
which caused the rise and fall of States, thus passe
lug over the true sources of strength and the real
causes of decry. Certainly a more dangerous
notion can hardly gain ground, and it is the duty
of all influential men to put a stop to the
spread of such a deteriorating view. At the pre-
sent time,
of prosperity, time, when our country has ettained to so great

seription of the events that produced the decline of
the great Roman Empire was very forcible, and in
especial it was an impressive passage in which he
alluded to the triumph of literature in the Augus-
tan age. He said that it was the previous struggle
which occasioned such greatness, and not the
voluptuous age in which it appeared that was the
p imary cause of the great display. "It was the
previous liberty which for a time in the midst of
security enabled those, great writers to flJurish, who
made Roman literature famous through all time."
In explanation of this he introduced a fine mew
