LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPT. io, 1863.

During the autumnal recess our Representative
men are, many of theta, frequently to be ob-
served availing themselves of all kinds of op-
portunities upon which to address the general
multitude upon a great variety of subjects. A
ver few days more, and the venerable ex-
y
Chancellor Lord BROUGHAM, now in his eighty-
sixth year, will be inaugurating at Edinburgh
the annual meeting of the Social Science Associa-
tion, as its President. It was but very recently
that the great reorganiser of our modern system
of ordnance, that happily-named Sir WILLIAM
ARMSTRONG, was in the same capacity doing the
very like, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, by the British
Association. Fortunately for ourselves, here in
England, no such incident could by any possibility
occur amongst us as the one which recently im-
parted so profound and peculiar, and even, it might
be said, so pathetic an interest to the mere oratori-
cal proceedings in connection with the late re-
markable gathering from all parts of Europe, in
the old Flemish city of Malines. There, for the
first time, after the lapse of many years, of absolute
silence so far as the public were concerned, the
Count DE MoNTALEmBEPT had the strings of his
eloquent tongue loosened for a while—by what
miraculous process P—by the simple circumstance
of his breathing a free-er atmosphere ! An incident
like that, we repeat, could not by any possibility
have occurred amongst us, here in England, under
the beneficent institutions of our constitutional
Government. It is not simply that here, according
to the magnificent hyperbole of CURRAN, the chain
falls from the elav3 directly his foot touches this
soil hallowed to freedom. It is not merely
that the gross material indications of arbitrary
rule are swept out of the view of every free
born Englishman. It is—thet absolute freedom
of speech, no less than of persons, is assured unre-
servedly to each and all of the inhabitants of the
United Kingdom. A citizen of the British Empire,
the COUNT DE MONTALEMBERT need not during
all these last dozen years and more of his pure and
noble career, have been stricken dumb, as it were,
have had all his rare and lofty gifts of oratory hushed,
and hidden away, under the evil influence of a re-
pressive and arbitrary system of Government.
Hardly any more striking illustration of the
extraordinary contrast observable in this one
particular, namely, in regard to the liberty of
speech allowed upon the opposite sides of
the British Channel, could have thrust
itself upon the recognition of every thoughtful
observer, than that presented to view upon a com-
parison of the reception accorded, in their respective
countries, to the two principal personages but lately
the cynosure of the four thousand souls then
listening to their utterances, in turn, before
the great Congress at Malines. The recep-
tion, always liberal and generous, accorded
here at every available opportunity, in Pro-
testant England, to Cardinal WISEMAN! The
denial of any reception at all, in his capacity as a
public speaker, there in Catholic France, to the
Count de MONTALEMBERT ! The contrast here
presented to view is, in truth, something very re-
markable. It is one as honourable to the generous
spirit of the English people, as it is diametrically
the reverse in regard to our friends across the
Channel. Unless it be altogether a farce in regard
to the elective
franchise, yonder in France,
under the shadow
of the ballot—and the
results of the elections in all the various arron-
disements in Paris would certainly appear to indi-
cate by the simple fact a their unanimity in sig-
nalizing the rejection of the whole crowd of the
imperial candidate:3, that it is not a farce altogether
_unless it be a farce to talk about the freedom of
under cover
voting at least in the French provinces
of the Ballot urn, the discredit attaching to the
circumstance of the Count DE MONTALEM-
BERT'S rejection by the: electors of Doubs
must be shared pretty equally between those
electors themselves and the agents of the EMPEROR's
Government. While, by reason of their total
lack in France of freedom in speakin,,-, in writ-
ing, and printing, almost, it would seem (if we may
judge by the conduct of the electors at Doubs a few
months back), in thinking and in feeling—while
by reason of all this, the Count DE MONTALF,M-

BEET is constrained, in order to utter the thoughts
that ore 'burning within him, in his very heart, in
his very soul, to make a jeurnes; from Paris to
Malines, so that he may there speak, in Catholic
Begirn, it is true, but under a Protestant Save-
reign—here, in this Protestant England of ours,
Cardinal WISEMAN is magnanimously allowed
of speech whensoever he lists.
perfect freedom
His reception by the general public upon every
occasion on which he has cared to appear before
them as an orator, or lecturer, being characterised,
moreover, by a noble toleration—a toleration
evidenced by the respectful cordiality with which
at these times he is invariably welcomed. As
scarlet is said to have some sort of
strange, maddening influence upon a Bull, it

might have been conjectured by some of the more
cynical depreciators of our national character that
upon JOHN BULL the full-blown scarlet of a Cardi-
nal must needs have an influence, in every conceiv-
able degree as maddening. The mere fact, however,
of Cardinal WISEMAN'S lecturing from time to time,
coupled with the fact of his welcome by us English
people whensoever he does lecture, must long since
have gone far to dissipate every sinister gibe of
this kind as so much idle extra-Jagance. Mean-
while, it must be allowed, in -regard to Cardinal
WISEMAN himself, that ho alNo has individually a
fall right to his fair share in, halving this perfectly
reciprocated toleration. A Prince of the vast
Hierarchical system, havlns• its centre at Rome—
head himself of a hierarf_hy the establishment of
'vhich in this country thirteen years ago was
opposed by all the powers of the State both within
and without the walls of Parliament—he has,
nevertheless, personally held his ground since
then so manfully and judiciously that he has won
his way long ago to our respectful consideration,
as a race of freemen, as his fellow-countrymen and
fellow-citizens. And it is thus in a great measure,
as it appears to us, because, besides being a Cardi-
nal, and therefore a Foreign Prince, a man of letters
and a man of science, an orator and a philologist—
in a word, as the Times calls him this morning,
simply but emphatically, " one of the men of the
day"—he is also unaffectedlyessentially an
and
Englishman.

Agricultural banquets are by no
mon things, and the speeches delivered
meaantethuenmceamre-
however, delivered on the occasion of t
seldom very remarkable. The address of LlioredaNnnaueasl,
show of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Agri-
cultural Society, forms an exemption to the ordinary
discourses. In gives in clear and graphic language
a sketch of the astonishing progress which has
taken place in our agricultural science in the last
thirty or forty years. Tnat abort space of time has
witnessed a total revolution in the whole system of
modern farming. If our grandfathers, said Lord
NAAS, were to rise from their graves they could
hardly believe what they saw. In the last century,
he added, the three great essentials of successful
agriculture have all been, so to say, discovered, or
rather the importance and urgency of their adop-
tion have been fully recognised. These three essen-
tials are draining, deep ploughing, and artificial
manure, not one of which was practised a hundred
years ago. Since that time the improvements in
the different breeds of cattle has been as rapid and
as striking as the increased value of the soil ; and
the most valuable breed we have—the short-horned
Durham—has been called into existence within
that time. Still more remarkable is the change in
the weapons used by the farmer to subdue nature
to his needs. Thirty years ago the farmer, as Lord
NAAS reminded his hearers, thought no other im•
plement necessary for the cultivation of his land
than the common plough. Since then improvement
has followed improvement, invention has followed
invention, until almost every kind of farm work
can now be done by machinery better, cheaper, and
more quickly than by hand. At first there existed,
as we all know, a strong prejudice against their
use, though tho farmers are not on that account
more deserving of censure than the townsmen. The
objection to the introduction of these artificial
workmen was common in all classes. In every
trade there were serious obstacles to en-
counter, much prejudice and bitter oppo-
sition to overcome, before machinery was
got fairly to work. In the case of the farmers the
objection continued perhaps longer, being still in
force when handlooms were discarded and spinning
jennies no longer recognisable in their new forms.
The prejudice, like all other prejudices, has been
unable to hold its ground against the march of en-
lightenment and progress, and accordingly the
number and variety of agricultural machines used
in this country have gone on increasing until they
have reached the result displayed by the statistics
quoted by Lord NAAS. It was found that at the
late exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society at
Worcester there was a considerable increase in the
number of entries at a similar show at Canterbury
three years before, the number in the one case being
3,947, and in the other 5,839. The Great Exhibi-
tion, too, displayed the same evidences of progress
in this department. " In 1852 six firms turned out
270 steam-engines for agricultural purposes; and
in 1861 the same firms sold 898, which was an in-
crease of 330 per cent. In 1861 two firma that had
no standing as plough-makers in 1852 sent out
9,309 ploughs. Four firms that had no existence
in 1851 as makers of cultivators, made and sold
1,199 of these implements in 1861. Three firms
who manufactured 333 corn-drills in 1852, raised
the number in 1561 to 703. Four firms who in
1858 sold only 32 reaping machines, in 1861 sold
1,715. In 1852 six firms sent out 327 thrashing
machines; in 1861 they sold 1,084. The horse-
rakes rose in the same period from 611 to 1,739,
from five firms; the haymakers of two firms, from
50 to 721 ; the chaff-cutters by three firms, from
1,004 in 1855 to 4,805 in 1861 ; and five firms
which in 1852 turned out 64 corn-bruisers,
increased the number in 1861 to 2,680," &c.
The fact or this large and increasing number of
various machines being now in use in England
proves how very much the use of machinery has
superseded hand-labour. Lord NAAS alluded to
one important reason for the prejudice at one time
so generally felt against its use, namely, the notion
that the use of machinery would do away with a
great deal of manual labour, and consequently be
the means of occasioning serious distress among
the honest and industrious poor. This idea has
now been proved to be fallacious. As many per-
sons are now employed in agricultural pursuits as
at any other time ; and, moreover, it has been
proved that the increased expenditure required by
the use of machinery has resulted in the increase of
production, and, consequently, in the number of
persons employed. All these arguments were
clearly and ably set forward by Lord Naes, who
forcibly showed that, although in some instances
individuals might suffer, the great body of the
working classes could not fail to profit by any
process that augments the prosperity of the
particular industry in which they are engaged.
While discoursing on the condition of the labour-
ing classes, Lord NAAS could hardly fail to touch
uPon the topic that has lately been brought promi-
nently before the attention of the public. The
state of the homes of our working men and their
families has often been discussed, though little
change tot the better has, we fear, resulted from
such discus'icne, It i 3, theefore, very desirable
that speakers in the position of Lord Nees should
iesist on the importance of the subject, and point
out to landlords and employers that what is their
duty is:also their interest. "Your labourer," said
Lord NAAS, "18 the most valuable and most delicate
machine on your farm. his weakness is you:
loss, his strength is your gain. You will find,
even in a money point of view, that you will
get much more valuable work out of your labourer
if ho is well cared and provided for—well lodged
and clothed, comfortable, contented, and happy..
The noble lord did not, of course, fa to put the
question on higher grounds, to obs -lye that on
the reflection of the common needs of humanity,
the feelings and necessities incident alike topeer

and peasant, on the sense of what is due to public
health, morality, and decency, " what at first ap-
peared a matter of economy and money, becomes
a matter of duty—a duty of the very highest
order." From whatever motive, it is to be hoped
that landlords will speedily do something to remedy
this crying evil, the responsibility of whose con •
tinuance cannot be lifted from their shoulders.
Lord NAAS suggested that the surplus derived
from the bountiful harvest of this year of plenty
could in nu way be better employed than in im-
proving the dwellings of the labourer. We must
hope that his remarks will have weight with the
company he addressed. The claims of agricul-
ture were ably represented by his Lordship, and
the interest with which his address will be read
by non-professional readers, affords a sufficient
evidence that the noble old art of farming has
advanced out of the dull routine work of the past
century into the higher area of science and know-
ledge.

The King of GREECE has started on his journey
under favourable auspices. His departure was cele-
brated with great pomp, and, altogether, everyone
seemed to conspire to do him honour. All the
Ministers of State, Foreign Ministers, municipal
authorities, and civil and military functionaries,
were present at his embarkation. He was cheered
by great crowds of people, and the streets were
decorated with the Greek and Danish flags. The
Chief President of the city of Copenhagen addressed
farewell speeches to King GEORGE, to which the
new Sovereign responded in a suitable manner, ex-
pressing his best wishes for the welfare and pro-
sperity of Denmark. Thus, King GEORGE was
started on his journey with good prospects before
him, leaving favourable impressions behind him,
It is to be hoped that the same flattering auguries
will attend him in his new empire, and that his
opening reign will fulfil the expectations that have
been formed of him. In his visits to the three
great capitals he will have opportunity of judging
for himself concerning the state of things and the
mode of procedure in carrying on theaffairs of great
countries\ These mighty nations may afford him at
the same time encouragement, warning, and
example. From each he may derive benefit and
deduce experience. In St. Petersburg he may
mark many strange and unwarrantable transac-
tions, but on the whole ho will find progress pre-
dominating. The spirit of improvement has pene-
trated to the city of the Cossacks, and already the
signs of the times are apparent in the changes that
are taking place and the decrees that have been
issued. King GEORGE may well draw a moral
from this revolution in the settled despotism that
prevailed there until lately, and when he reaches
his own kingdom endeavour to inaugurate, as far as
possible, the modern style of government in lieu of
the old worn-out type of absolutism, It may be
all promise and profession on the part of the
Government of St. Petersburg, but still the occur-
rence of these alterations in such an empire
testify to their necessity, and speak volumes for the
feelings that have brought them about. In France
the young KING will be struck with the intelli-
gence and activity of the people. There liberty is
more an " idea " than a reality, but still its image
is cherished with an ardent zeal and worshipped
with a deep devotion. Without any marked or
visible alteration in outward affairs,a striking poli-
tical movement is taking place ; there are many un-
deniable proofs of the sentiment of the nation being
associated with progress, and the genius of the
people has identified itself with the nation. In
England the Grecian 'Monarch must be specially
impressed with the benefit and blessings of liberal
institutions. He will witness a great nation that
apparently is quiescent, but that is nevertheless
ever on the watch to guard its lights and secure its
advantages. All these things must have an in-
fluence on the young possessor of royal honours.
That he may profit by his tour of inspection is to
be earnestly desired, and if he reaches the sphere
of his own authority, having derived instruction
from divers quarters and gained enlightenment in
several ways, he will not begin his arduous career
with such obstacles in the road to success as some
may at first imagine. He will, at least, have the
merit. of deserving to prosper if he does not do so.
It will be his only chance to adopt at once some
decisive course of action, "No time like the time
present" must be his motto, for it will be tenfold
more difficult to make any change further on when
men's minds may not be prone to receive new
notions, but may be tempted to fall back into the
old routine and denounce progress impossible, and
an improvement unsuitable to the time and occasion.
The arrangements with regard to the Danish suc-
cession seem to be very satisfactorily settled. King
GEORGE has agreed to take the last place in the order
of succession. By this means it is most probable
that all parties were satisfied, both in Greece and in
Denmark. The Greeks will feel that their new
monarch has entirely associated himself with his
subjects, and made them and their concerns the
chief object of his interests, and the centre of his
plans. The Danes will also be glad to know that
their Prince has not altogether forsaken them.
While the good wishes and kindly feelings that
accompanied King GEORGE from his own country
are realised, it is to be trusted that his mild expres-
sions regarding the welfare of Denmark may be
also exancees. The recent intelligence from Frank-
fort does not bode any good in the affair of Holstein.
On the contrary, Austria has assumed a menacing
attitude, and seems resolved to try the force of
threats, and the arguments that are associated with
a hostile attitude. It is said that no attention has
been paid to the representations which the other
Powers, especially England, have made in reference
to that vexed question. " Austria has declared that
it rests with the Copenhagen Cabinet to prevent
armed intervention, and that Denmark, not Ger-
many, must give in." This is absurd on the face of
it, and Austria may yet find that meddling in this
matter may cost her too dear. The King of DEN-
MARK must hold his own with a determined spirit,
and make a firm stand against the encroachments
and inroads of those who will arrogate to them-
selves a right that they have not. These German
wiseacres must not expect that they are to have it
all their own way, and they had better use dis-
cretion and retire in time from the persistent course
which they have of late adopted, and so gain the
respect of those nations which now regard their
policy to Denmark with distrust and suspicion.

Mr: SALA, it is rumoured, is hard at work on
Napoleon the Great and his imprisonment in St. Hellene.
Mr. Sala, we hear, has much nsw matter of importance to
introduce, and his vigorous trenchant style will be sure to
make his pages interesting, He will take the part of " the
caged lion," and be among the most eloquent denunciators
of the perfidious Sir Hudson Lowe.
The Gazette de France publishes the following :
—" We learn from London that King Francis IL
of Naples has sent an autograph letter to Lord Henry
Lennox, 1%/I:P., in which his Majesty thanks the noble lord
for the kind sympathy he expressed for the sufferings of
the prisoners and of the Neapolitan people, in his speech in
the House of Commons on the Btb May last. King Francis
11. is well aware that Lord Henry Lennox is not a partisan
of his dynasty, but that consideration, far from stopping
him, has, on the contrary, more strongly urged him to
render justice to the part so worthily fulfilled by the noble
lord, and to express to hint his gratitude and his admiration
for
the courage which he displayed in making known the
whole truth to the English Parliament and people."
The Isle of Man in a few days will, it is said, be
placed in telegraphic communication with England,

In the document attached to his reply Prince Gort-
scbakoff does not hesitate to declare that, upon that
ground, it would be impossible for him to accept
even a simple exchange of amicable and confiden-
tial views."

The same paper says :—" The statement that
Baron Budberg will leave Paris on leave of absence
is unfounded. The Grand Duke Constantine's
journey to the Crimea is partly owing to the oppo-
sition his views relative to the Polish question en-
countered at St. Petersburg. The Grand Duke
will not return to Warsaw."
The Courrier du Dimanche states further that a
rumour was current in Madrid that Marshal
O'Donnell would again be placed at the head of the

CIRCASSIA.

The latest news from Cireassia is up to the 25th
of Moherrem (25th July).

In the country of the Abazeghs and Chapsonghs,
in the month of June, small detachments were
organised in imitation of the corps of the Polish
Insurrection. These detachments were charged to
b:ockade the garrisons of the Russian forts, and to
annoy them incessantly. Such a system has
already had its effects. Three small forts have been
abandoned by the Russians, and the Circassians
every day kill some of the enemy or carry off the
cattle. _ _ _

Those of the Abazegbs who, inhabiting a country
more open to invasion, had been necessitated to
submit to the Russians, were invited by their free
countrymen to repair to a point situated between
Yaghirah and Sokoum Kale, to deliberate on the
affairs of the nation. A great meecing was held.
Three-fourths of the Abazeghs who had submitted
declared they wished to shake off the Russian yoke,
and they took up arms. The remainder were not
of the same mind. This difference of opinion led to
very warm discussion. " What have you gained
by submitting to the Russians?" cried those who had
revolted, to the rest; " Come and fight with us for
the independence of our fatherland." These words
having had no effect on the minority, they came to
blows and blood was shed, Sand those who pre-
ferred servitude to liberty lost a great many men.

Subsequently to this affair the Russians sent re-
inforcements to Sakoum Kale.
The Circassians have also organised several small
detachments of cavalry. Three of these detach-
ments having heard that a Russian General with
150 horsemen had left a fort to repair to another
place, marched to intercept them. A fight ensued,
in which the Circassians were victorious. Almost
all the Russian horsemen were killed or wounded,
tot more than 20 being able to make their escape.
The General was made prisoner.
Great anxiety had been felt about the crop of
cereals on account of the dryness of the season ; but
rain having fallen, these fears are now removed.
The crop has turned out so abundant that it would
be sufficient alone to feed twice the population of
Circassia.

The Russians may expect a troublesome war with
the Circassians ; and all the friends of liberty must
offer up prayers for the triumph of these courageous
mountaineers.—Le Courrier d'Orient.

EGYPT.
A letter from Alexandria, dated September the
11th, says the Viceroy has returned from his voyage
in Upper Egypt, much pleased it is said with the
reception given him, hid subjects having everywhere
received him with acclamations. He went only as
far as Esneh, instead of to Assouan as reported.
His Highness is doing much to ameliorate the posi.
tion of the Fellahs, particularly in trying to lessen
the enormous amount of interest paid by the people
—3 and 4 per cent. a month is :10 uncommon charge.
