The Rev, Henry Ward Beecher on England

and America,

One of the most imposing demonstrations that have oc-
curred for many years at Exeter Hall took place last night,
to hear the lecture of the Rev. H. W. Beecher on the pre-
sent unhappy condition of America. Before the doors were
opened at half-past 6, the entrances in the Strand and
Exeter-street were crowded by thousands, and when the
doors were open a fearful rush took place, happily without
any accident to life or limb. The large room was crowded to
overflowing in a few minutes, so that the vast multitude
outside who were toiling and surging here and there to ob-
tain an entrance were obliged to go away disappointed.
Curious enough the leading members of the committee, and
even Mr. Beecher himself, had great difficulty in forcing
their way through the anxious crowds that blocked up the
doors. Some disturbance of the proceedings was expected,
in consequence of it being well known that a number of
persons having what are called " Southern proclivities"
were in the room, but happily everything passed off quietly,
and the rev, gentleman was permitted with scarcely any in-
terruption to continue his eloquent address, which lasted
nearly two hours. At 7 o'clock the chair was taken by Ben-
jamin Scott, Esq., City Chamberlain, who was supported
by the following gentlemen :—G. Thompson, Esq., Dr.
Haley, Dr. Holland, Rev. H. Allen, D.D., John Kaye,
Esq., Revs. J. Hinton, W. Tyler, J. C. Galloway, J. H.
Byrnes, W. Dunkerley, Dr. Bunting, Dr. Jobson, A. Ray.
leigh, J. Spark, Selim Martin, J. Spong, W. Cuthbert, J.
B. French, Dr. Campbell, G. Wilkins, W. Brock, H. J.
Bales, Dr. Hales, Professor Newman, Messrs. Newth, J.
Cassell, Washington Wilke, Edmond Beales, Wm. Spicer,
J. W. Willane, J. Richardson, C.C., Rev. Newman Hall,
Sir Charles Fox, James Beale, &c.
As there were loud cries of "Time, time," and some im-
patience otherwise manifested as Mr. Beecher did not make
his appearance,
The CHAIRMAN rose, and begged they would allow him
to inform them that the crowds outside the building were so
dense that Mr. Beecher had not as yet been able to force his
way through, and they were thus prevented from being as
punctual as they should otherwise have been. It had been
with the greatest difficulty that himself and some members
of the committee forced their way into the building, and he
hoped therefore they would make allowance if they were a
few minutes behind time. He deeply regretted that Mr.
Bright was not present] to fill the chair—(hear)—and for
his own part he felt it his duty to state that it was not their
object that evening to discuss the great American struggle
now going on. (Hear.) There were many opportunities
for discussing that momentous question, and their object
then was to afford an opportunity to a distinguished stranger
to address them on an absorbing topic. (Cheers.) He was,
besides, a gentleman who, whatever opinions he may hold,
was entitled to their profound respect as the son of Dr.
Beecher and the brother of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.
(Cheers,) As a stranger visiting their shores who had par-
taken of their salt, as a man whether regarded as a minister
of religion, a gentleman, or the uncompromising advocate of
human rights, he was eminently entitled to their respect,
and deserved their courteous attention, (Cheers.) He was
quite sure therefore that this assembly of English men and
women would support him in obtaining for him that re-
spectiul hearing which was so eminently his due. (Hear.)
That was the more necessary as his feelings and opinions
were often misunderstood in this country, and perhaps mis-
represented, and as ho was a stranger about to depart from
their shores in a few days, he asked for the opportuni:y of
putting himself sight with the London public. (Hear.)
They would then give him, he hoped, a patient hearing ;
and as for himself (the chairman), he abstained advisedly
from entering into a discussion of the question. The Rev.
Mr. Beecher, however, had been its unpromising advocate
for more than 25 years.
Here the rev. gentleman entered the hall, and was re-
ceived with loud and long continued cheers. When silence
was obtained,

The CHAIRMAN proceeded—lie had been, as he said, its
uncomprising advocate for 25 years, in times of peace and
before the present war—for the emancipation of the op-
pressed—broke out, and at a time when only a few thinking
men on I he other side of the Atlantic were found advocating
that cause. (Cheers.) He would in conclusion introduce
to them the rev. gentleman.

The Rev, H. W. BEECHER then came forward in front Of
the platform and was received in the most enthusiastic man-
ner. When silence was somewhat restored, he thanked the
chairman (he said) for the very kind introduction he received
at his hands, and which required a single word from him.
He should have been glad if he thought he deserved all the
credit so generously ascribed to him by their worthy chair-
man; but ho was not old enough to be the pioneer in a
cause in which such men as Wild and Stewart, and Perrin
and Smith, Lovett, and Wm. Lloyd Garrison, and that most
accomplished speaker in the world,Mr.Wendell Phillips,took
an active share. When ha thought of the exertions made
by the benevolent class of Christians called " Friends ;"
when he thought of the number of men, obscure in station
and without name or position, who laboured from their
earliest days in the same good work—and he remembered
that ho came in after all this had been done—he felt that
honours were given to him which he did not deserve, and
were not, therefore, warranted, because wrested from others
who deserved them better. (Cheers.) All he could say was,
that he fell into the ranks under the able captains who
directed the movement—that he fought as well as he could,
or as he knew how, Now, having said so much on that
point, and as that would be his last popular address in Eng •
land, he was anxious to give a short glance at his preceding
movements since his arrival, At Manchester ho attempted
to give a glance at what had been going on between North
and South for the last 50 years, and to show that the present
American war was only an overt act of what had thus oc-
curred during the last half century. He also endeavoured
to show that the condition of the working or free labouring
population throughout the world must bo deteriorated and
brought to a position of contempt and injury by the conti-
nuance of slave labour, and that consequently it interested
every free man on the face of the globe to have it finally
' and for ever extinguished. (Hear.) Ile contended that the
South was the natural enemy to free labour all over the
world. (Cheers, and No, no.) In Edinburgh he endeavoured
to prove that after the separation of the colonies from the
mother country there was created out of the separate colo-
nies and States thus growing up a nation of United States
totally distinct from each other as a general government,hav-
ing control over the finances and general resources of the
entire, which the North now endeavoured to uphold and the
South abandoned, becauso that Government was wielded
and influenced by men who gave its influence and autho•
rity to the cause of freedom. In Liverpool he laboured—(a
laugh)—to show that slavery in the long run must be the
ruin of commerce and manufacture all the world over, be-
cause every one must be aware that a slave nation must be
a poor customer, and consequently goods sold there must be
at the very lowest profit. He also endeavoured to prove that
it was for the interests of commerce and manufacture to pro-
mote in those countries the freedom of the human race, and
not to allow some of the fairest portions of the earth to
be treated in a manner which made them too poor to buy
, anything., tte had thus endeavoured to rouse the atten-
tce.
„Al of the British people to a just sense of their own in-
terests. He was aware that there were many circumstances
which now made it difficult for him to make what he would
term a balanced statement, so that no doubt should remain
that slavery was the cause—the only cause, and the sole
cause—of the gigantic and cruel war now going forward.
(Cheers.) He asked them to look at the question from an
American point of view; to take their standing-point and
judge of their character and motives not from the enemy,
but what they said themselves. There had, he knew,;been
some disagreement in feeliug , between Great Britain and
America, but he did not want to argue that question now,
only that the people of this country should consider each
other's position. He did not want them to came to any de-

allowed to go farther the law and Constitution would be
openly and flagrantly violated. Now he would read to them
an unconscious corroboration of what he had been stating
from a speech made in Georgia by Mr. Stephens, the present
vice-president of the Confederate States, addressed to his
constituents. And with regard to this gentleman he was
bound to say that until his State went over no man was
more opposed to secession and more anxious for the Union.
He pointed out clearly and distinctly the dangers and disas-
ters of a secession, and he was right :—" He was bound
to say that the Northern States had always acted most
liberally towards them. When they demanded that slaves
should be brought from Africa to cultivate cotton, it was
granted ; and Louisiana, Florida, and Texas—out of which
eight States could be made—were permitted to have slaves.
In point of fact, they in the South had always the control
of the general government of the country, and the majority
of the Presidents were chosen from among them. Out of
60, the North had only 24 ; of the judges, 18 were from the
South and 11 from the North ; Speakers in the House of
Representatives, 23 from the South and 12 from the North;
of the Attorney-Generals, 14 from the South and 5 from the
North ; foreign ministers, 86 to 54 ; and at least three-
fourths of the diplomatic agents abroad, and the principal
embassies, so as to secure the markets of the world for their
cotton and other produce." Was there ever such an indict-
ment unconsciously made by a speaker against any people ?
Ain Stephens, speaking to the people of Georgia, not know-
ing that he would be reported, and that his speech would
come North, that it would come to him (Mr. Beecher), and
be read by him to an English audience in Exeter hall,
carved at once into the very heart of the policy of the South,
and told what were the plans and what the part the South
had played for the last 50 years. (Hear, hear.) The real
consistent policy of the South during all that time was, in
addition to the control of the territories, to control the Go-
vernment, and to use both for the establishment of slave
influence throughout North America. Now take notice
that the North, hating slavery as slavery, and longing for
its extinction, was unable till this war to touch slavery di-
rectly. They could only touch the slave policy—not slavery
independently—because slavery was established by a State
law, and subject only to State jurisdiction. Any direct at-
tempt on the part of the North to attack slavery would have
been revolutionary and unconstitutional. (Hear, hear.) It
would have destroyed the Constitution, because it would
have been a violation of the principle of state independence.
That Constitution, in fact, only took an English idea on a
larger scale. We borrowed it from you. Many might
not understand how there could be a State independence
under a national Government. He was not very well
posted in English affairs, but he understood that there be-
longed to the city of London certain private rights that the
parliament could not meddle with—(cheers)—and that there
were other elements in which Parliament was as supreme in
of London as in any other city within the realm.
ciN thee

htehe principle of the American Government, by
which certain matters belonged to local jurisdiction and
certain other matters belonged to the general Government.
In this country every man's house was his castle, and once
inside it the householder, so long as he conformed to the
law, could regulate his domestic concerns uncontrolled and
without molestation. In like manner the American States
were domestic households, and so long as the Constitution
was kept up, in other respects no other State had a right to
interfere with their domestic institutions. But in addition
to these internal and domestic questions, the United States
came together for common purposes and created a general
Government, to which they gave supreme authority on all
questions affecting war and peace, the negotiation of treaties
and all similar questions of general policy. The power to
meddle with or interfere with the domestic economy of the
separate States never was given to the general Government,
and it could not be given. They would ask him, then,
66 How is it you are doing so now ?" He had shown that
it
was only with the national policy as it went out of the
States with which the national Government could deal ;
that they were bound by the Constitution to abstain from
internal interference, and in honour, loyalty, good faith,
and patriotism, they did abstain from such interference.
It was only when the question was raised whether the na-
tional policy should be a slave or a free-soil policy

shining quality, but they were fundamental virtues, and for
SO years the North had stood faithful to her word, and re-
spected the local rights of States, even when those local rights
were opposed to moral rights—(hear)—and he thought that
honest adherence to State rights and forbearance on the part
of the North was one of those things of which they might
be justly proud. (Oh, laughter, and cheers.) It was a pro-
ductprinciple, a proof of liberty, an inspiration of that
Christian faith which is the mother both of principle and
rit an
liberty; O
sand he was proud to say that there had been a re-
cognition of that fidelity and forbearance on the part of the
North, even in respect to her worst enemies. That was the
reason why the North did not in the first instance go to war
emancipation. She went to war to save the national in-
stitutions,fer to save the territories, to save those laws which, if

How was it that the conflict changed its character from a
war upon policy to a direct attack upon slavery itself ? It
was because the South was so ill-advised as to beleaguer the
national Government with slavery, and thus obliged the
President of the national Government to decide between the
safety of the national institutions and the slavery by which
beleaguered. (Cheers.) A man attacked on the

knocking his assailant down, and so when a nation was as-
sailed in its most vital interests by a local interest inimical
to its welfare, it was the right of that nation to destroy its

the
enemy, which, if not destroyed, would destroy it. So long
South allowed the issue to be one of policy, the
North
h did not
attempt to shift the ground ; but when
they said tTo r
'd slavery shall be the issue, the North could
do no other but accept the challenge. As the police
had no right to enter your house so long as you obey the
law, but had a right to do so when the law was broken, so,
when a State defied a national Government, and violated the
Constitution, the national Government had a right to enter
and protect the national rights. But it was said the Presi-
dent issued his proclamation for the sake of political effect,
and not for humanity. (Cheers, and Oh, oh.) Why, the
right of the proclamation was political, but the dis-
positionistosiliZg so was not. Mr. Lincoln, as an officer in the
Presidential chair, had no more right to consult his private
judge on the bench ; but when a judge saw

tion remained until it was galvanised by the secession, in
order to justify that proceeding. (Hear, hear.) He should
like to know what the feelings of an Englishman -would be'
if he saw in the newspapers one fine morning that the
country from which his (Mr. Beecher's) ancestors came
from had proclaimed itself an independent State--(a laugh)
—and was followed by other countries on the southern
coast proclaiming themselves an independent kingdom.
(Laughter.) They might probably say that circumstances
altered cases ; but he would ask, was it not as necessary to
maintain national territory and national laws in America as
it was in this country ? (Hear, hear.) But then it was said
a great concession had been made because the Southern
States offered the Northerns the free use of the Mississippi.
What condescension ! Why, it might as well be raid, that
if a parcel of gipsies took possession of their houses it would
be an act of grace to allow them to enter them. (A laugh )
It was impossible that the two States could live on one con-
tinent as independent nations, and therefore a truce with
them would be merely a cloud to produce a thunderstorm
at any moment, whenever the Southerners found the means
and the opportunity to take possession of the entire conti- '
nent in the name of the devil and of slavery. (Cheers.)
But it was said, why not let this contest end and allow the
South to go ? Because the Americans did not wish to be-
come a military people. (Cheers.) A great many people
said that America was becoming too strong—that she was
dangerous to the peace of the world; but he would say that
if this division was permitted the South would become a
military nation,and the North would be compelled to become
military also. With 1,500 miles of lines and forts to defend,
the North would require a standing army of 250;000 men ;
and when a nation had a large standing army she was in
great danger. Before this war the legal force of the United
States army was 25,000; the actual number was 18,000 ; and
was all they wanted; indeed, the Tribune and other papers
had written it down as too large; but let this division take
place, and an army of 250,000 men would be required by
the North, and one of not less than 160,000 or 200,000 for
the South ; and when America was compelled to have
armies like these, like a boy with a knife, she will always
be wanting to whittle with them. (Laughter and cheers,)
It was the interest, then, of the world that the American
nation should be united and under the control of that part
of the nation that had always been for peace, and that the
government should be wrested from that section of it that
had always been for annexations, filibustering, and snub-
bing nations. (Cheers.) But on religious grounds
there was a higher, more solemn, and national
trust; and the Americans felt, as he did, that he and those
whom he addressed had a solemn moral responsibility for
that country and for the other portions of the globe. But
how much more was that the case when it applied to their
own nation and the Church in America that in their vast
territories there was a glorious sphere to build up a Church
that would make the hearts of all good men everywhere
glad ? (Great applause.) They could not help slavery in
the States before the war, but now that it had become a
declared public enemy it was their duty as Christians to see
that slavery should never again be in a position to blight
this fair Western territory. (Cheers.) When he stood and
looked out upon that immense territory—(great interruption,
and cries of " Put him out")—when he looked at that vast
territory he felt bound, as an individual man, as a citizen,
as a Christian minister, to ask, Will s'ou permit this terri-
tory to be darkened by this storm cloud Will you permit
the acres which lie between the Pacific and the Atlantic to
groan whit unrequitted toil when it is in your power to pre-
vent it ? (Cheers.) The Americans were sending mission-
aries to all parts of the world to aid in its civilisation and
evangelisation, and yet there were men amongst them who
counselled them to give up America to the devil, and not do
another thing. (Cheers.) He said, apart from all ques-
tions of finance or commerce, it was their duty as Christians
to save that vast continent from the blast and blight of
slavery. And yet how many were those whose voices were
sounding up and down all over England "Let slavery go ?"
A story was told of that great man, Sir Powell Buxton,
that when a large favourite dog of his was seized with
hydrophobia, and was 'dashing hither and thither and up
and down the streets to the danger of all passers by, he
seized it by the neck, and, notwithstanding its immense
strength, he held it until help came to him to enable him to
chain it up. What would an Englishman of the type of
the Times said had he been there? "Let him go—let him
go." (Cheers.) Was there a man there who did not feel
the nobleness of the man who restrained that mad
dog from going about biting women and children?
and were they to let this hell dog of slavery madly go biting
millions in the future ? No, we will peril life and limb first.
(Loud cheers.) These facts were not magnified but mini-
mised in his statement of the case. No man could under-
stand these arguments and feelings unless he had been in
the midst of American society and was impressed with the
sentiments of the North—deeper than the sea, firmer than
the hills, serener than the sky over their heads where God
dwells. But it had been said what a ruthless war this war
is I and he had seen it stated that a pestilential reverend
fellow had come over from America to preach the Gospel,
and it was said he was in favour of the war to extermina-
tion. (Hear, hear.) Well, if he said so, he'll stick to it.
(Hisses, answered by cheers.) Yes, he repeated it. (Hisses
and cheers.) Bat when his words were quoted on that point
he asked them to take the explanation, not from his enemies,
but from himself. He believed this war was the test of
their American institutions, that it was a life and death
struggle between liberty and slavery, and that it was the
cause of the common people. He believed that all free people
would be stronger if they suppressed this oligarchyof slave-
holders, and that every oppressed people would be weaker
if the North was pushed to the wall. (Hear, hear.) The
Americans believing this—that the war was a test of their
Constitution, their laws, their liberties, and their future
destiny, and standing before the great responsibility thus cast
upon them—were prepared to place them all upon the altar,
and he said that the North would perish rather than this
Western civilisation should be destroyed, (Cheers.) If
the people of the North were willing to make those sacrifices
in their own homes and families, was it to be expected they
should stop the war for the sake of the South ? Should they
be expected to do for them what they would not do for them-
selves? No—standing by his own hearth—standing on the
altar of the Church—in all places—and in presence of the
names and memories of the illustrious dead—he declared
they would sacrifice in 10 or 20 years, as the calm(aliear,

(Cheers.) When their army fought at Waterloo, the
Idlers engaged in that conflict did not know the tremeu-

on that battle. It was not what the British soldier felt or
thought, but the interests of the British empire ; and so it
was at present. The war was no doubt looked upon in this
country with horror, and as something very wonderful ;
but he would ask them what land or shore the prowess of
their own ships had not seen and conquered ? what land
was there on the habitable globe that their soldiers had not
conquered ? Why, the great trumpet of the resurrection,
when it sounded at the last day, would find, at the great

Henry" That this meeting presents its cordial thanks to the Rev.
Ward Beecher for the admirable address which ho
has delivered this evening, and expresses its hearty sym-
pathy with his reprobation of the slaveholder's rebellion,
his vindication of the rights of a free government, and his
aspirations for peace and friendship between the English
people and their American brethren; and as this meeting
„cognises in Mr. Beecher one of the early pioneers of negro
emancipation, RS well as 0210 of the most eloquent and suc-
cessful of the champions of that great cause, it rejoices in.
this opportunity of congratulating. him on the triumph with
which the labours of himself and his associates have been
crowned in the anti-slavery policy o,President Lincoln and
his Cabinet."

Trial of Armour Plates, Steel Gums,
&c„ at
St. Petersburg.

N.S., fur-
On Wednesday, the 17th sc r`3tober,
ther trials took place at St. Petersburg with the
„,.
experimental nine-inch rifled cast steel gun. This • -
gun is of solid cast steel, made by Krupp, and
throws a 3001 b, shell or a 4501 b. solid shot. The -
results of previous experiments with this gun led
the Russian Government to order fifty of them,
which are now in course of delivery. The principal
objects of the experiments on the 7th inst. were to
ascertain the best description of shell, and to test
the quality of armour plates supplied by Messrs.
John Brown and Co., of Sheffield.
First, a series of cast iron shells, 300 lb. each,
were fired at different ranges, and then shells Diade
by Krupp were fired at the 41-inch armour plates.
The first shell, of hard cast steel, was 221 inches
long (two and a half diameters), with a flat end four
inches in diameter. Fired with 501 b. cf powder at
700 ft. distance it passed through the plate, oak and
teak backing, and broke into many nieces, although
filled with sand only. The second and third shells
were also of Krupp's steel, the same length, but
61in. ends. These shells pierced plates, wood,
&c., and also went to pieces, although only filled
with sand. The fourth shell was made by M.
Potoleff, of puddled steel, on Aboukoff's system, the
same dimensions as the second and third, and went
through iron, teak, &c., but was only bulged up
from 9in. to 12in., and the end flattened; not a
single crack being visible in the shell. The fifth
shell, the same as the fourth, passed through iron,
teak, and the second target, and went at least a
mile beyond. The sixth and seventh shells were
from Krupp, and were charged with powder; they
were quite flat-ended, 9in. diameter. One ex-
ploded in the plate, the other in the wood. The
eighth and ninth shells were of east iron, and al-
though they passed through the plates were, of
course, destroyed. Evening prevented further trials,
which will yet be made on the same plate.
The results on the plate were highly satisfactory.
In a space of 4ft. Gin. by 3ft. 6in, eight holes were
made without any crack of the slightest descrip-
tion ; and the marine officers present were highly
satisfied, because they are obtaining 4,000 tons of
plates from Messrs. John Brown and Co. for their
different ships.
The English Government would do well to note
the progress the Russians arc making in gunnery.
Cast steel guns are decidedly before any yet pro-
duced in England of any other metal. The 9in.
gun of Krupp has been fired with 3001 b.-shells and
501 h. of powder stout 70 times without any flaw,
and the Russian Government will shortly be in a
position to obtain in St. Petersburg a large supply
of cast steel guns, made from lluesin iron, by Rus-
sians, on Aboukoff's system, which is very near the
same as Krupp's.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday in the Alder-
men's Chamber at Guildhall, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor
in the chair.
The LORD MAYOR, at the commencement of the business,
said it was his painful duty to inform the Court officially of
meeting, had e sad circumstance which, since the
be-
fallen them. and of which they all last
nodoubt were aware
from other sources, namely, the death of an old and valuable
friend, Mr. Alderman Humphery. He was well known to
all the Court, and he was sure he would have the sanction
of every member present, that he had clone much to preserve
the honour and dignity of the Court, and deserved great
credit both as a public and a private man, and had the good
opinion of all.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND said, as the senior alderman of
the Court, it devolved upon him to submit a vote of condo-
lence to the widow of the late G. Humphery, Esq. He had
the honour to be Lord Mayor at the time Mr. Alderman
Humphery was elected by the ward of Aldgate to fill the
office of magistrate for that ward, and he was sure no one
better could have been selected for their confidence. He had
known him both as a private friend and as a magistrate, and
knew his worth, and esteemed him, as he was sure all did
who had had the honour of his acquaintance. He had lived
a long life well spent, and he had brought up his children in.
a way which it would be well for all to emulate, and he only
hoped that now his life was taken away, he would go to those
happy realms which his conduct on earth merited. The
worthy alderman said he had had the misfortune now to see
50 of his brethren pass away, which was a large number of
friends to lose from time to time, and there was no knowing
whilst deploring those who had gone before, who might be
the next to follow, and it behoved them all to do their best
for the benefit of society, and to discharge faithfully the
duties which devolved upon thorn. Whilst deploring the
sad loss which they had sustained, he must congratulate the
Court upon having a gentleman chosen to fill the vacant
office who, from his experience, was in every way qualified
to succeed such a worthy predecessor.
Mr. Alderman WILSON said while his friend who Ittes:
just spoken had seen 50 of the brethren pass away he
seen 40. He felt the loss of his friend very keenly, as he
on very intimate terms with him, and could testify °ma
worth both as a friend and public man, and in lotting J'"
