Well, then, I come to your manufacturers. They said, If
you let in the produce of foreign industry nobody will buy
ours, and we shall be reduced to begg try.' Why, every
reduction which has been made in those Customs duties
which are levied upon the importation of foreign commodi-
ties and the produce of foreign industry has necessarily led
to a larger exportation of the British industry. (Cheers.)
No foreign nation will send us their goods for nothing;
they expect to be paid for them. The trade between nations
is a trade of barter ; of exchange of commodity for commo-
dity, and, therefore, every amount or importation of foreign
commodities into this country must, by coeeequence, carry
with it a corresponding export of equal value of the produce
of the industry of the people of these islaas. (Cheers.)
Never, therefore, was the productive manufacturing Indus- '
try of the country more thriving than it has been since that
I liberal system of commerce has been intioductd, And,
whereas, some years ago—l believe 10 or 15 years ago—the
aggregate value of the exported commodities of the t ountry
was about 60 millions, I believe that in the last year and the
year before it amounted to 130 millions— a most s riking
proof that the liberal spirit of commerce, so far from crush-
ing and extinguishing the manufactures of the country,
has, in fact, doubled the demand for them in other parts of
the world. (Cheers.) Well, then, there is the shipping inte-
rest, and we were told, when we wanted to liberalise that
part of our industry, when we proposed to take off those re-
strictions upon the purchase of foreign vessels which had
long been considered by builders of ships as the security by
which alone they could expect to derive any profit—we were
told that we were ruining the shipping interest, and a most
distinguished member of that interest, then a member of
the House of Commons, used to adjure us almost with tears
in his eyes to abstain from inflicting ruin upon so merito-
rious a class and description of men. (Laughter and cheers.)
What do we see now ? We see all your maritime ports where
private enterprise and capital are constructing those mag-
nificent vessels that are to ride proudly over the waves, and
to carry your riches to every part of the world and bring
back equal returns, we see them crowded with workmen;
our ears are dinned with the busy hum of industry ; we
see their docks and building yards filed with vessels in dif-
ferent stages of construction. In fact, we find that th se
nations—the Swedes, the North Americans, and the nations
of the Baltic, who, it wassaid, would outdo us in shipbuild-
ing and deprive our shipbuilders of their market at home—
we have found them coming to England to buy ships—
coming to this country, where the shipbuilding industry
was to be ruined and destroyed—coming here instead of
building at home. And why ? Because here they find better
skill, better labour and accommodation by the operations of
commerce, of all the elements of shipbuilding, and they find
that they could in the United Kingdom procure better and
cheaper and more lasting ships than they could make in
their own country, which was the object of so much alarm.
(Cheers.) lam speaking now of the time when men thought
that wood was the only material which would float upon
water, when they believed that iron was too heavy and would
go to the bottom. (Laughter.) That delusion has been dis-
pelled. Now we see almost all the vessels which carry the
commerce of the country mainly built of iron. There are
exceptions, I believe, in regard to the timber trade and some
other branches of navigation, for which wooden vessels are
still preferred—but the change from wood to iron nas been
most advantageous to the shipbuilding interest of this coun
try, and more especially that of the Clyde and Forth, be-
cause here you have those elements, here you have that
iron corresponding with the timber that grew in the Baltic
and America—here, too, you have the coal which that iron
is to be worked. You have every advantage, therefore—
every advantage of natural material, and you have Luso
that advantage for which you are eminent above all the
nations of the world—namely, the advantage of mechanical
skill and persevering labour, and of accumulated capital
by which that skill and labour can be brought to bear.
(Cheers.) Well, then, Mr. Provost, I accept with cor-
diality that testimony which you have offered me in words,
and which this great town of Leith affords in visible objects,
to the merit and truth of those principles of free trade which
of late years have formed the foundation and the aim of the
legislation of the country. (Cheers.) I trust that their
prosperity, which is founded on those great natural advan-
tages—and when I say natural advantages I include not
only those physical advantages of position and of access by
water which you enjoy, but also those creative powers with
which nature has endowed your people—l trust that these
natural advantages wit carry you still further iu that pro-
gress of improvement of which I have seen with such de-
light and satisfaction those great and remarkable specimens
to-day. I can only hope that no Government which may
succeed ours—for our Government I need make no promises,
because we refer you to acts—l am persuaded that no Go-
vernment which, by the sanction and support of Parliament,
can ever be placed in the seat of power will ever faii to pursue
those principles of enlightened legislation by which your
prosperity has hitherto been so greatly advanc, d, and by
which I trust in future titees it is destined greatly to sur-
pass that which with delight and pride I have witnessed
this day. (Cheet a.) Mr. Provost and gentlemen, I beg again
to thank you most cordially for the kind address you have
presented, end for this magnificent reception, and I can as-
sure you that I shall carry with me from the town of Leith
sentiments of the deepest gratitude for the kindness which
its inhabitants have shown to me on this occasion." (Loud
and prolonged cheers.)
The Provost then called for three cheers for Lord
Palmerston, and three cheers were also given to the
Provost for presiding. The company then proceeded
to the rown-hall, where refreshments were served.
Mr. Miller, M.P., in a few apt terms, proposed a
vote of thanks to Lord Palmerston for his kindness
and condescension in paying a visit to the burgh,
and expressed an earnest hope that his lordship
might still be long spared to guide the councils and
protect the interests of the nation. He concluded by
proposing the " Health of Lord Palmerston," which
was drunk with every demonstration of respect and
enthusiasm.
Viscount PALMERSTON, in returning thanks,
said ;
" I assure you I feel very deeply the kind reception which
I have met with in Scotland during my visit, and gratify-
ing as has been the kindness manifested towards me in every
place, I must say it has not been greater than that I have
experienced to-day. You are quite right in saying that oc-
casional visits of men who are engaged in active pursuits of
Government to those great national seats of industry of
which Leith is a prominent member must be attended with
great advantage to both parties. In the first place, men, to
know each other and value each other, must come into per-
sonal contact, because whatever may be their good qualities
' known at a distance they are not to be compared in effect
with the result of personal intercourse and knowledge face
to face, and with the minute details on both sides which can
only be acquired by that personal intercourse. I can assure
you, so far as we are concerned, that much as every man in
public life must be proud of the country whose affairs he is
called to manaee, that pride is infinitely increased when he
goes to those great seats of industry and sees the wonderful
development of intellect, enterprise, and skill, the success-
ful application of which itself is the result of former success.
You have been pleased to say that men in public life ought
not to be valued simply for the gifts which nature may have
bestowed on them, but for the use to which those gifts may
have been applied. Well, I say the same thing with regard
to the great seats of commercial and manufacturing indus-
try. You have had great gifts of nature bestowed upon you,
and I am proud to say you have nobly applied them; and I
trust that by a continued application of those gifts you will
rise to a still higher point of eminence than that is which I
am glad to see you placed this day. (Ch.-ers.) I beg to
thank you for your kindness, and drink your hearths in re-
turn." (Applause.)
The noble lord then proposed " Provost Lind-
say," who replied. His lordship was then conducted
to the railway station, and proceeded to Edinburgh.
In the evening he dined with the Lord Advocate;
to-morrow his lordship will attend Divine service
at the English chapel, and proceed afterwards to
,he residence of Sir Gibson Craig. On Saturday his
ordship leaves for London.

A PUBLICAN OUTWITTED.—During the past
week, in a village not 100 miles from Cloughaneely,
a well-known manufacturer of the " mountain dew," who
appeared to labour under considerable dread of the guar-
dians of the Board of Inland Revenue, presented himself
in it but
to a publican with a keg which had not paid the Govern-
ment duty, declaring it to be rectified potheen which
w .uld carry "two in one." A bargain was immediately
made between the parties, the publican seizing gladly the
opportunity of coming into possession of a drop of the
ihlye
" native," as it was the fair eve,

NEW CHURCEITARDS.—A return has been com-
piled, which shows that in the last 30 years new
ground has been consecrated in 2,688 parishes of England
ansi Wales to serve as churchyards, In 1,412 parishes,
very nearly hall the whole number, the ground was pr-
sented as a free gift, and in 229 it was purchased by volun•
tart' subscription. Like most of the occasional returns made
to Parliament, this is by no means complete or correct ; no

THE NAVY.
Letters received at Piymouth from the screw
steam gun-vessel Cygnet, 5, Commander W. S. de
Kan;zow, state that she left. Port Philip on. Feb. 2,
and, aft,:r a cruisejof 11,days, arrived at Havannah
on the 13th, and was appointed to leave on the 14th
for another cruise. The crew were in good hralth.
His Netherlands Mejesty's screw corvette Som.
bind, Capt. J. N. S (~gt, sailed from Spitheed yes-
terday for Flushing. Previous to her departure
Capt. 31? gt was officially iutroduud io the military
and naval authoriti‘-s of the pert and g trrison by
the Chevalier van am Bergh, the Netherlands
Consul at Portsmouth.
An additional body of mechanics and artificers
from Chatham dockyard were yesterday placed on
board the iron-plated frigate Royal Oak in order
that the remaining work to be effected on board may
be completed by the 20th inst., when, in compliance
with instructions received from the Admiralty, she
is to be ready to hoist the pendant. The Itlyai
has had 660 tons of coals placed on board, which
has brought her down about 2ft. lower than her
draught on the occasion of taking her trial trip,
She has to receive ber armament, shell, powder, pro-
visions, and a considerable quantity of stores, which
will increase her draught of water to about 20ft.
aft, and 22ft. forward.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Edward Kelly,
Lieut. L. M. Mallet, Lieut. Wm. Walsh, and Lieut,
the Hon. A. D. S. Denison, to the Hannibal; Lieut,
G. E. Price, to the Aboukir ; Lieut. P. H. W.
Wayow, to the Archer ; Lieut. J, R. Twysden, Lieut
H. Vaughan, Lieut. R. C. Gayer, Lieut. R. M
Blomfield, and Lieut. C. S. Titton, to the Canopus

THE ARMY.
The hired sailing transport Elizabeth Ann Bright,
Commander Starkey, sailed from Portsmouth at 10
a.m. yesterday for New Zealand, with the head
quarters of the 2d Battalion 18th Regiment (Royal
Irish) on board. She left Spithead with the wind
at N. by W., and with every prospect of a favour-
able run clear of the Channel. The names of the
officers and the total numbers embarked are as fol-
low :—Lieut.-Col. A. A. Chapman, in command :
Capts. J. Inman, R. P. Bishop, G. T. King, F.
Fearnley, and E. A. Noblett ; Limits- T. C. Wray,
J. A. J. Briggs, T. J. Corrie, W. J. Croft, G. A.
Nicholls, C. G. Minnitt, J. J. R. Russell, and W. F.
Thacker; Ensigns J. B. Jackson, A. J. A. Jackson,
T. Go Butts, B. G. Haines, C. G. Philips, F. G.
Pringle, H. D. Bicknell, C. Dawson, and W. E.
Chapman ; Adjt. R. W. E. Dawson, Quartermaster
J. Stoneforth, Surgeon G. W. Peaks, AssistaSurg.
Barry, Paymaster C. J. Heatley. Officers' families
—Mrs. Chapman, five children, and one servant ;
Mrs. Peake, two children, and one servant ; Mrs.
Heatley, six children, and one servant ; Mrs. Stain-
forth and Mrs. Wray. The non-commissioned offi-
cers, men, women, and children were 34 sergeants,
11 drummers, 617 privates, 79 women, and 114
children. The Elizabeth Ann Brignt is a fine ship
of 1,919 tons register, North American built ; her
height between decks is—poop, 6ft. ; maindeck, 6ft.
Bin.; and lower deck, 6ft. Bin. She carries seven
boats, estim kted according to the transport regula-
tions, to carry 200 persons, two of which are fitted
with Clifford's lowering apparatus. Her stock of
water at starting is of limited quantity, as she is
fitted with two of Dr. Normanby's patent distilling
condensers, which condense 1,000 gallons of water
in the 24 hours. The accommodation is good below,
and to render eantilation perfect she carries two of
Danks's patent blower ventilators. On deck, how-
ever, the arrangements are not so satisfactory, the
entire deck being crowded with cabins, coaleh._aises,
wo.tercasks,and other fixings,leaving no room for the
large number of men, women, and children on board
when turned up from the troop deck, that it may be
cleared for sanitary purposes. This is, however, the
only objection which can be urged against the
Elizabeth Ann Bright as a hired Government troop
ship yet we trust never to see such a mistake re-
peated. by the Transport Board in their hiring of
ship, for the transport of troops to distant stations.
It seems a pity that some of the thousands of sea-
men belonging to the Royal navy, who are now em-
ployed in convict and ordinary labourers' work in
our dockyards (and who are fast exchanging the
active habits of seamen for the well-known lazy
dockyard trot), could not be put on board a few of
the sailing vessels now lying idle and utterly use-
less in our harbours, and employed in the exchange
of troops between England and the colonies. This
is said in no spirit of carping at the employment of
our merchant shipping on so necessary a work, but
simply because at the present time there are num-
bers of vessels the names of which stand on the Ad-
miralty official navy list lying idle in our harbours,
and costing no inconsiderable sum for their yearly
maintenance, with some thousands of seamen losing
their smartness and ability as seamen by dawdling
the day through as labourers in the dockyards.
Many of the younger men scarcely know how to
reef a topsail. The Elizabeth Ann Bright brings
home the headquarters of the 65th Regiment from
New Zealand.
The Hotspur, Indiaman, Capt. ll. Toynbee, arrived
at Spithead yesterday from Calcutta, and landed
passengers. Her military invalids were transferred
to Government steamers and sent to the Royal Mi-
litary Hospital at Netley, with the exception of one
insane soldier, who was forwarded to Cnatham. A
detailed account of the military and private passen-
gers arrived in the ship, with the dates of sailing
and ships spoken on the voyage, &c., was given in
The Sun yesterday in the report of the ship's arrival
off Portland. The Hotspur sailed again in the
afternoon for London.
Notice has been given at Chatham, from the
Horse Guards, that the next examination of candi-
dates for direct commissions will commence at Chel-

The CHArnmAxob.erved—The gallant Polish nation. vas
now engaged in a deadly ctruozle with that despotic Power
which bad crushed them down for many years, and they
well deserved the sympathy of every true friend to freedom.
The cruel comic' iption which hod taken place in that un-
happy country was with a view to kidnap fir se spirits who
were considezed to b 3 dangerous to Russia, and the Poles
had no other alternative but to oppose by force ot arms
t the
wickedness of their oppressors. He was happy to find hat
the people of Scotland ware fully alive to the claims of Po-
land, and that Lord Palmerston ha.l expressed the most
liberal sentiments on the subject. The noble lord had, during
a long life, been celebrated for his exertions to promote
liberal institutions on the Continent. He had proved this
with regard to Spain, Portugal, and Italy, and he would be
delighted to hold out a helping hand to Poland. It would be
well, however, that Government should be allowed perfect
freedom of action with regard to this question. If Govern-
ment was to follow a particular course recommended by Par-
liament, and that course failed to produce the desired result,
then Government might blame Parliament. He therefore
did not wish to see the Government relievedfrom its respon-
sibility, and he sincerely hoped the affair would yet be so
managed that the wrongs of Poland would be redressed. He
believed that Lord Palmerston's Administration would do its
utmost in favour of the Poles, although he concurred with
the opinion that the Government was wise not at once to
declare what mode of action it intended to adopt. Mr. An-
gerstein concluded an excellent address by expressing plea
sure that Austria appeared willing to take a liberal view
respecting the Polish question.
Mr. J. R. JOLLY moved the first resolution, " That Rus-
sia, by the violation of her engagements to Europe on behalf
of Poland, and by her system of confiscation, exile, and
massacre which has been carried out, has forfeited all right
to the possasiion of that country." The speaker
contended referred at
some length to the past history of Poland, and
that Russia had clearly broken the Treaty of 1815, which
ought to be enforced by the great Powers of Europe. Eng-
land and France had maintained by force of arms the in-
tegrity of the Turkish Empire, and surely Poland was en-
titled to support during her present struggle.
The Rev. J. M'CRAE, of Plumstead, seconded the res
and
o •
lution, which was supported by Mr. W. ROBERTS,
unanimously adopted.
The Rev. T. TUFFIELD moved, "That the present posi-
tion of Poland, in its subjugation by Russia, is inconsistent
with the general progress of the age, and this meeting
hopes that the British Government, in concert with other
European nations, will urge the liberations nd independence
of Poland." He reviewed the past struggs of the Poles for
independence, and the IL anifold injustice and cruelty to
which the nation had been subjected for a long series of
years. It was time that the free people of England spoke
out upon this question ; and although he deprecated war,
when it could possibly be avoided, it was necessary to urge
upon Parliament and the Government that the wrongs of
Poland ought to be redressed.
Mr. BOOTH seconded the motion, which was supported
in an eloquent and argumentative address by Mr. WHITE,
and unanimously adopted.
Mr. CUNNINGHAM moved, and Mr. C. TAYLOR seconded,
" That the sympathy of the British nation, always mani
fested in the cause of liberty and civilisation, is deeply in
favour of the success of the brave Poles in their present
struggle, and that a subscription be opened in aid of the
present movement."
The resolution was ably supported by Messrs. A. GABLEBI
and T. WAREIKT, Polish exiles, who expressed a favour-
able opinion as to the ultima a success of the present con-
test, and stated that Poland had hosts of men to fight for
liberty, but they required the sinews of war—the means of
providing arms.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.
