LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 8, 1863.

While one of the most venerable and gifted of
our ex-Chancellors is—we very much fear it—fast
drawing to the close of his long and illustrious life,
another in the full vigour of his great intellect is
Presiding over the proceedings of the Social Science
Association in his native place—now in the eighty-
sixth year since he first drew breath there—in the
city of Edinburgh. When he had attained the great
age of eighty Lord BROUGHAM delivered one of the
most remarkable orations that had ever fallen from
his lips, namely, upon the occasion of the inaugura-
tion of the monumental statue raised to the memory
of Sir ISAAC NEWTON in his native place, that is to
say at Grantham. Now, when the learned and
rarely-endowed ex-Chancellor has passed his eighty-
firth year, he is presiding, as we have said, over the
proceedings of the great Social Science Association,
at its annual meeting: a meeting holden this year,
by a happy coincidence (we are fain to enforce the
recognition of the fact by repetition), in that birth-
place of HENRY Lord BROUGHAM, the eminently
beautiful ana picturesque old city of Edinburgh.
Evidence will be found in another and a very con-
siderable portion of our impression of this even-
ing, magnificent evidence that in this, the
eighty-sixth year of the ex-Chancellor's memor-
able career, all his great oratorical powers are
as fresh and as vigorous as at any previous
period. Here and there, too, it may be
seen by those who scan the report of
this noble oration of Lord BROUGHAM'S
as it deserves to be scanned, that the
orator is as boldly outspoken as, while yet un-
adorned by the scarlet and ermine, when he wore
professionally merely the stuff gown of a barrister.
Or as when in the old House of Commons (ages
back it almost seems in the retrospect) he sat as
HARRY BROUGHAM, the ultra-liberal MP. for the
West Riding, the terror of all noodles, placehunters,
and partizans, whether on the front bench or on
the back benches, alike of Government or of Oppo-
sition. For vigorous outspeaking on a matter of no
small delicacy, more especially at this moment, com-
mend us to that portion of the great oration delivered
yesterday by Lord BROUGHAM to the vast assembly
of educated people who hung upon his words While
he addressed them, up in the north, there, at Edin-
burgh. Portions of the ex-Chancellor's address, un-
necessary, at this moment, here to be particularised,
we differ from toto coelo. That part of it however,
relating expressly to the bitter
feelings, cherished
towards England in the Northern States of the
American Republic, in the States peopled by the
Federalists, Ave assent to, in every syllable of it, con
amore. As—who will not, far and wide, through
all the three Kingdoms ? However briefly, time
enables us to say this now, we would here say it
nevertheless, and that, moreover, with all the em.
pb 3sis of our admiration.

The position of England in respect to the Fine
Arts has long been felt to he unworthy of her
national digni In music, in design, in archi-
tecture, in all matters of taste and adornment,
nglishmen and women were, until very lately,
confessedly inferior to foreigners. They were so
"inch in the habit of hearing this assertion made
that a
-- was generally taken for granted, and it
woula
" 'Ave been a bold attempt if any one had
maintained that the deficiency was one arising from
of culture rather than lack of ability. Some

markable for their the great

art, less social as it is, and more rare
for it, has recently shown evidence of almost equal

echools throughout the country has been a remark-
able feature of the present age, and supplies a long
felt want. They offer to poor and friendless talent
a helping hand over those first difficulFes which
appear well nigh insuperable to the lonely young
student. They assist bie progros, and give him a
