LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 5, 1863.

Another day's later news from New York, bring-
ing events down to the 24th ultimo inclusively, will
be seen, by- our string of telegrams, to have just Low
reached these shores, per the Adriatic. Scarcely any
information of any particular interest, will be found
to have been added thereby to our last batch of in•
telligence from the American seat of war; but
what scraps of additional information have now
reached us, are so far of importance that they fully
confirm the accounts previously received, in refer-
ence to the severe discomfiture of General ROSEN.
CRANZ, in Tennessee. Not only is it thus with re-
gard to this epitome of the latest incidents of the
fierce struggle for supremacy still continued with
so much ferocity between the American forces of
the North and the South—but the confirmation
now received of the defeat of ROSENCRANZ comes to
us (by a mere coincidence, it is true, but still a very
startling one of its kind), simultaneously with the
receipt of tidings from other quarters, tidings
having about them a very warlike and im-
pressive significance. There may be some-
thing very consolatory to Earl RUSSELL—
though we can hardly conjecture that it will be
so to any other person in the United Kingdom—to
find it stated in one of these latest American tele-
grams, per the Adriatic, in so many honeyed words,
words the honey upon which must turn, however, to
gall and wormwood upon the palates of every pa-
triotic Englishman amongst us, having any regard
for
what has been finely called the chastity of our
honour as a great and independent State—" It is
semi-officially announced that the Government
e., at Washington] have received advices from
England that the Confederate rams would not be
allowed to sail. This has created a kindly feeling
[blandly adds the Telegram] on the part of the Fee
deral Government towards England." Agreeable
news, we repeat, this may be regarded as, by the
noble Earl her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary : but
acceptable in any way whatever, we are certain it
cannot by possibility prove to be, to any one else in
the three Kingdoms. While there comes to us from
the west this almost insulting announcement of the
" kindly feeling" excited in our benalf throughout
the Federal States by what is, strictly speaking, very
much like an act of pusillanimity on the part of
our Government, there comes to us from the exactly
opposite direction from beyond the narrow boundary
of the waters of the Channel, an intimation sig-
nificant enough in its way—That if under the guid-
ance of Lord RUSSELL'S councils England is pre-
pared to sit down meekly, without a word in reply,
after the severe rebuke addressed to him by Prince
GORTSCLIANOFF, the pride of France, the amour
propre of the French empire, will not admit of its
receiving a precisely similar rebuff, without any
such astounding
evidence of submission. La
France (the journal that it is, not the country) may
sing small, does, in -
effect, discuss the Pollen diffi-
culty with 'beta breath in the awful presence of
this last thunderous missive from the hand of Prince
G"Tsettexoee. _La rando this, is doing

tbatjournal, (exclaims, in other words, the National
Opinion of France) " put up if they choose

are sick of protocols, verbiage, and empty talk_
we require acts. In the name of outraged humanity
we demand that the successor of NAPOLEON should

the foregoing are the mere epitomised translation--,

Russie ; nous demandons la guel.re." Scan-
dalised in an extraordinary deg zee La France
(again, remember, the journal, not the country)
appears to be with this outsper.king on the part of
its contemporary. It argues t:re matter mildly with
M. GEROULT, suavely offari•ag him the leek to chew
at his leisure. Instead, however, of masticating
which proffered delicr.cy the said M. GEROULT
reiterates, in yet stronger words, if that be possible,
his views of what is actually due to the honour of
France under the circumstances. And, while yet
the discussion continues to be maintained thus hotly
among our Paris contemporaries—comes to us the
rumour that the Imperial Government has sent
notes to the Cabinets of both London and Vienna,
stating that France at least cannot possibly leave
the last Russian despatch unanswered ! While
such is the situation, or the reputed situation of

things, in regard to the temper of French diplomacy
—while things are looking darkly enough at the
Bourse, to force the Threes to 63 and the Consols to
93, other incidents of some significance also in
their turn come to light—throwing a lurid
glare upon the future. Ten new iron-clad frigates
are known to be all but finished at this moment
at Cherbourg. Cavalry and artillery horses are at
the same time being bought up in great numbers
by the French Government. Matamoras—we knew
that the other day—was occupied by the French
troops pretty much about the same time that
BRAGG was defeating:RosENcßANz. And now, the
Richmond Dispatch tells us in a number brought
to us by the Adriatic, that the Confederate Govern-
ment has recently effected:a loan of 100,000,000
francs in France upon the security of the cotton
now in the Confederate States. England, meekly
stopping the steam rams at Liverpiol, and thereby
winning a " kindly feeling" from the defeated and
partially panic-stricken Federals at New York and
Washington—England, evidencing a disposition,
under the inspiration of Earl RUSSELL'S slightly
muddled policy, to submit, in exemplary
silence, to the rating she has recently
received from the Foreign,Minister of the Autocrat
—England now beholds her French ally assuming,
in regard to Russia on the one hand, in regard to
America on the other, an attitude somewhat more
befitting by its 'vigour, without being as yet one
atom more warlike in its character, the position
held by France, as (side by side with England) fore-
most among the great Powers of Christendom,

Mr. ROEBUCK'S speeches are always worth
perusing. Even when the eloquent but erratic
speaker is led away by some fantastic notion, he
can always throw a vigour into his style, and a
vivacity into his discourse that impress and in-
terest all hearers. On Thursday !est he delivered
au address on " _Education," in the Congregational
School-room, at Swanage. The hon. and learned
member commenced by stating that he had some
hesitation in addressing them upon that occasion,
for his business in life had not been to descant
upon matters of education. He would endeavour,
however," he said, "to assist those who were
making it their object to admire the spread of
education, and first he would speak to the work-
ing men. He would then say to them that their
lives would be purer, better, and more virtuous
if they obtained the benefits of education. He said
he did not site GEORGE STEPHENSON as an example
because his life was almost a miracle, but he men-
tioned him to the working men in the North of
England, who, "at eighteen years of age, did not
know how to write, but taught himself everything
that he knew, acquired a great fortune, and was,
in feet, the father of all the railways in England."
Mr. ROEBUCK then passed on to remark on the dif-
ference of races, and said that we were among the
foremost of mankind, and England had shown in
all her classes the greatest possible greatness to
which man can rise. Therefore he would say to
the working men of this country that they were
possessed " of great intellect which GOD had given
them, but from the want of education
had not the power of using it, it was,
indeed, like the bright diamond hidden
in a dark cave." After this stirring appeal
to his hearers, the hon. and learned member com-
pared the pleasures of an educated and an unedu-
cated man. The ignorant man had some hours to
himself—how did he employ that leisure ? Un-
fortunately the answer must be, in sensual enjoy-
ments for the most part. Now the educated man
had multitudinous enjoyments. He could say for
himself that if any one had come to him in his
youth and said, "I will give you a fortune on con-
dition that you never learn to read," he would
have repelled the gift, and said that it was
as nothing in comparison with what he must forfeit.
These similes and illustrations are of great value in
a discourse like this; they bring before the mind the
full force of what the speaker seeks to impart, but
may not be able to exemplify so well in dry detail
or tame assertion. Besides, when one is addressing
an ignorant and uncultivated audience, the greatest
care is requisite in order that the subject-matter
before them may not pall upon their attention, that
it may be rendered attractive to them, and thus
keep alive their interest, which, if not accomplished,
all becomes a sombre failure. Mr. ROEBUCK said
that ho had often thought that a book was better
than a friend. No matter what happened around

classes, but they could only be won by the improve-

ing down the groundwork that would make English-
men a " band of brothers," " which would
make
them present a front that the world could not put
down, and make them, indeed, the leaders of man-
kind." This is sound sense and admirable reason-
ing on the fart of the speaker. Education is the
great division between classes and ranks, it consti-
tutes a barrier that no wealth can pass, and that no
expediency can remove. The true disciples of pro-
