LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1864.

Lord PALMERSTON has indeed no rest; he scarcely
gives up the onerous duties that devolve upon him
daring the session before he undertakes all sorts of
new engagements, and eaters upon tasks that in-
volve great fatigue both physically and mentally.
No one can accuse him of being an idle Minister,
for he is ever ready to fulfil any of the duties that
by common consent and courtesy devolve upon a
Minister, and these, too, he performs in a genial
manner that doubles the favour. He also enters
upon them with a spirit and bonhommie that im.
paxts a zest to the affair ; this expedition to Brad.
ford has not been au exception to the general rule
in this respect, for universal satisfaction appears to
have prevailed throughout the whole course of the
proceedings. In fact, Lord PALMERSTON seemed
to be in his right element, as the chief Minister of
Slate rendering a tribute of respect, and doing
honour to the foandatiCn of an Exchange. It was
a good idea of the Corporat:on of Bradford
and the Chamber of Commerce to endeavour
to make the occasion memorable by in-
v;ting en distinguished a personage to pre.
s'ee at their ceremonies. The simplicity of the
proceedings were more in keeping with the nature
LA' the affair than had they been more compact or
extravagant, and it appears that good sense and
good taste alike prevailed in the various arrange-
en ts. The address presented to Lord PALMER_
STON at the site of the Exchange was a very affec-
tionate one, end fully explained the requirements of
the case. The spread of trade and the increase of
population in Bradford has been great, and it is an
encouraging proof of the flourishing state of the
country when we hear such statements as those
put forth in the communication to Lord PALMER.
STON on the site of the new building. The require-
ments of the preaent are quite out of keeping with
the supplies aVhich in past days were sufficient, and
certainly there was sufficient reason for the erection
of anew Exchange. In 1828, the period when the old 11

Exchange was opened, there were not more than
two or three firms trading as stuff merchants in the
borough, now there are one hundred and fifty-seven.
The population of the borough about that time was
forty-three thousand five hundred and twenty-seven,
in 1861 it was computed at upwards of one hundred
and six thousand. These are interesting facts to
dwell upon, and speak greatly as to the skill and
industry which have spread the efforts of trade
and commerce, and turned unnoticed villages into

flourishing manufacturing towns, the centres of
industry and the theatres of traffic. It was men-
tioned that the trade of the borough of Bradford waa
never better than at present; " the vast capital that
is employed connects it with the prosperity of the
farmer at home and the distant colonist, with eve.ty
sheepfold, however remote, and every shepherd in
every clime; its ambition is to trace its trophies in
every household, to wrap them round the inmates

strength. The lesson thus taught to the unscrupu-
lous and the powerful is one that Europe will yet
have to mourn over through long years of conten•
'lion and disaster. Such seeds do not bear fruit at

once. The life of nations is unlike the life of indi-
viduals, but as surely as such political crimes are
committed and are tolerated, if not sanctioned, the
hour of retribution comes. But what matter, cry
oar materialists, so long as trade and commerce
flourish, so long as our wares are in demand and
our manufactories thriving, what matter about such
empty words as nationaaty and freedom. We are
not going to war for an idea. So the Danish king-
dom is dismembered under overwhelming odds, and
the English world goes quietly on its accustomed
way, taking for its motto, "Apres mot le deluge."
