has attended the labours of those who presided
over the Dublin International Exhibition may be
regarded as considerable, for they have had much
to contend against, and yet have triumphed over
obstacles.

Lord HOUGHTON, in some eloquent remarks,
mentioned the advantages that would be conferred
upon mankind by these exhibitions ; they were
"great manifestations of power, which was being
exhibited in the world by bringing all classes on a
great level of intelligence and art."

The Association for the Promotion of Social
Science is venturing this year into new and untried
quarters. instead of retreating to some of the
quiet old cities sacred to philosophy, science, and
reflection, they have betaken themselves to the
crowded streets of one of the busiest centres of our
manufacturing industry. Whether they have been
actuated by the desire to extend their own practical
knowledge, or whether they wished to impress
a greater regard for social science on those classes
who do not ordinarily trouble themselves much
about matters beyond the immediate range of their
daily duties, is uncertain, but the course is not
without some advantages. One of the great objects
of social science is undoubtedly to improve
the condition of the working man—to remove from
him unnecessary burdens, and to urge upon society
his claims for clean and wholesome habitations, his
right to exemption from unnecessary dangers, and
to protection, as far as possible, from any
injurious influences common to his trade. An-
otker important branch of Social Science is
the man. gement of the young. The youth of a
nation, as Mr. DISRAELI, has wisely said, are the
trustees of posterity, and if we suffer the youth of
our generation to grow up in ignorance of all men-
tal and moral training, with dwarfed and crippled
forms, and health enfeebled by too early labour,
those who come after us will assuredly reap the
bitter fruits. It may be said that much more is
being done for the youth of this age than was
ever done before ; but then it must be remem-
bered that the physical dangers of the young are
greatly increased. Mills and factories, of a size
and number never dreamt of by our grandfathers,
are springing up on every side, and adult labour
is still sufficiently valuable to make employers eager
to engage the services of little things, who, by right
of age, should not have left the school-room and
the playground. We may be indignant with the
parent who thus sacrifices his child's health and
education to present gain, and who even falsifies its
age to evade the beneficent act which protects it
from labour, but in many cases poverty presses
very heavily on the heads of families. A few shil-
lings a week are a great temptation to men and
women who are too ignorant themselves to appre-
ciate the value of schooling, or to know the injury
done to the tender frame of a little child by con-
tinuous labour. The reformers must not, therefore,
expect any very cordial assistance from the poorer
classes themselves, who will, indeed, most probably
resent any legislative interference with their chil-
dren's earnings ; still less can they hope for the
hearty co-operation of the masters. Still the
matter is too vital to the best interests of
the State to be suffered to remain in
abeyance because it is surrounded with difficulties ;
and, perhaps, the best means that could have been
devised for settling some wise and trustworthy
principles of action Are those which are, it is said,
to be tried at the Sheffield meeting. A thorough
investigation into the practical workings of the
question can readily be made in a town like
Sheffield, and the two Employment Commissioners,
whose revelations have contributed so much to
direct public attention to the matter, are to hold a
discussion with two working men who advocate the
opposite view. We shall, therefore, hear both Bides,
and our legislators may learn some of the practical
difficulties surrounding any reform before they
propound a remedy. Another important topic con-
nected with the working classes will be brought
under the consideration of the Health Department,
where an essay on the unnecessary exposure of
workmen in collieries, mines, and manufactories,
will, it is said, be read by a gentleman, who, in
the course of his profession, attends annually
many thousands of men Buffo ing from
the disease peculiar to grinders. Very many of the
dangers incidental to trade and manufacture might
be averted or lessened by the observance of a few
precautions. The structure of the buildings is
often unfavourable, and the men themselves are
very apt to neglect ventilation or other matters
which seriously affect their health. The spread of
contagious diseases, and the contamination of the
air in towns, are also to be brought under discus-
sion, and we hope that the question of preserving
our rivers will not be altogether overlooked. The
state of the public health, although not
at present unfavourable, is calculated to give rise to
some uneasy anticipations, and the threatened visi-
tation of cholera has so thoroughly aroused attention
that our sanitary reformers have a good op-
portunity of enforcing their theories with
some chance of being heeded as well as heard.
Commercial questions will naturally come in for a
share of attention ; and the Jurisprudence Depart-
ment will have co consider the propriety of establish-
ing a uniform international law of freight, which
will be discussed by some delegates from several of
our principal chambers of commerce. The debate
will be rendered more interesting by the presence

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1865.

An interesting ceremony took place in Dublin on
the occasion of the announcement of the " awards
of jurors." The Duke of LEINSTER was the chair-
man, and a brilliant assemblage appeared to do
honour to the affair. The LORD MAYOR proposed
that the thanks of the assembly and of the city of
Dublin should be given to Earl RUSSELL for his
honouring them with his presence at that eventful
epoch. He truly observed that the magnificent
building in which they were assembled would re-
main as a monument of the energy, wealth, and
perseverance of Dublin. It must be a source of
great satisfaction to those concerned in its constitu-
tion that Ireland in this respect possesses an
advantage over other cities in having such a mag-
nificent winter palace and grounds as the Exhibi-
tion affords. Lord RUSSELL remarked that he had
great pleasure in writing to foreign Governments
in respect to this Exhibition, yet he had done no
more than his duty in this respect. This is another
proof afforded of the great benefits conferred by the
establishment of these exhibitions, for they induce
the different peoples and nations to confer together,
and thus a neutral ground is formed on which they
can meet. They are, indeed, a triumph of peace,
and a herald of an advanced and enlightened period
of the world's history. Lord RUSSELL remarked
upon the success which had attended the cause
of these undertakings since the fourteen years that
have elapsed from the period of the first great one
in Hyde Park. They have promoted " competitive
examinations," as it were, of the products and
manufactures of different countries, and, by com-
parison, they increase knowledge and promote im-
provement.
The noble earl gave some wise advice at the con.
elusion of his speech. After mentioning that peace
abroad was a necessary adjunct to the success of
these Exhibitions, he went on to say that ancther
desideratum was that " tranquillity should be main-
tained at home." This is strictly true, and the hint
may be taken with advantage by those who
are more or less concerned and mixed up
in disquieting affairs in Ireland. It is
indeed in every respect satisfactory that an Exhibi-
tion of this kind should have succeeded so well in
this country, for the more men's minds are drawn
off from the contemplation of irritating subjects the
better, and the more likely are the people to main-
tain that order and consistency of
purpose which
can alone make them respected and
admired.
Sir ROBERT PEEL made a few observations, which
were well received, on the occasion of proposing
thanks to the gentlemen who had given such ardu-
ous and gratuitous services to the exhibition as
" jurors." The hon. baronet ably summed Up
the result of their efforts, and also commented
upon the difficult nature of their work. They
h. td before them a vast collection of the
prL•ducts of the world, and had to discri-
mint,te between them. " They had not merely to
separate the good from the indifferent, but they had
to stamp with their approval the intrinsically meri-
torious from the flashy and less creditable produc-
tions—productions no doubt attractive to the eye,
but wanting in that perfection of workmanship and
• desig:u which characterise the intrinsically good."
There is indeed no more difficult or insidious task
than that of holding the position of jurors in
such an affAir, and therefore the success which

of two delegates from Antwerp, who will be able to
express the continental views on the matter. If
foreigners can be induced to take part in discussions
of these general questions, it will go far to remove
the prejudices with which commercial reforms are
regarded in many quarters, and will serve
to disseminate those principles of free trade
which all Englishmen wish to see established
throughout the Continent. The Emperor of
the FRENCH had much to contend against before
he could introduce the wedge among his manufac-
turers and merchants, and a less powerful and reso-
lute ruler would probably have abandoned the task
in despair. A great deal has, however, been gained

by the experience of the last few years, and the
commercial mind in France, at all events, is con-
siderably enlightened, and we may hope that
through its agency a greater liberality of feeling
will be introduced into the commercial policy of
neighbouring states. The Association is not likely,
therefore, to want work or lack topics of interest,
and we hope that the meeting which assembles to-
day to listen to the management address of its
venerable President will not disperse without having
achieved some practical good, if only by collecting
facts and comparing opinions.

Govern-
mentand at Washington during the whole course of the
American struggle, with respect to the vexed ques-
tion of the neutrality of this country, it would be
the recent revelations that have taken place in
Ireland. There is now no doubt that America was
the soil on which Fenianism flourished in the first
instance, and while the authorities 'were hurling
invective against our unfriendly conduct, and
assuming a menacing attituth because 15f our in-
difference, they were allowing the growth and pro-
gress a a conspiracy which, if not dangerous, was

at all events of a serious nature. It is evident,
from the discoveries that have been made,
that there was no lack of aid and sympathy afforded
to their undertaking beyond the Atlantic. This
inference'sis not drawn from hearsay, but from posi-
tive facts. For, during the time in which a strict
surveillance has been made, considerable sums have
been intercepted that were sent from America, and
it has been ascertained that many adherents to the
cause are in the ranks of the army of the United
States. It is not of course to be supposed that all
or any of the malevolent designs of these aspirants
could possibly, under any circumstances, have been
attended with danger to existing institutions,
but at the same time the subject is worthy
of consideration. The manner in which some
of the Yankees amuse themselves in crying
out against everything English has long been a
matter of comment among all judges of the matter,
but we were not exactly prepared for their becom-
ing active agents in fomenting disloyalty and
disaffection. It is some time now since anything
of a treasonable nature occurred in Ireland, and it
is certainly no credit to the Americans that, slight
as it may be, it should have originated with them.
They may now, perhaps, be more moderate in
their demands as to compensation for losses oc-
casioned during the war, and such-like absur-
dities, with which their press was so rife
a short time since. Perhaps it is as well, in one
sense, that the discovery of these unkind inten-
tions on the part of some of the American sub-
jects should have been delayed until the comple-
tion of the American struggle has allowed more
time for its contemplation by some of those sapient
judges who have here so freely criticised our
management, and the conduct of our Govern-
ment, under difficult circumstances of a peculiar
character.

MEN OF TILE TIME.

New Edition, Just Published by Routledge.
As an oak appears when compared with an acorn,
so looks this new edition of "Men of the Time"
when contrasted with the first issue of the
same book, but a very few years back, at
the time of its original appearance. It has
gradually expanded to its present bulk through we
don't know how many editions. But the contrast
presented to view by the work, as it was and as it is,
becomes, of course, the most strikingly manifest
upon our placing in immediate juxtaposition, the
first issue of it by Bogue and the last issue of
it by Routledge. It would hardly be an extra-
vagance to say that in that first issue of it
the omissions were far more numerous than
the contents. Here, however, in this latest
and amplest reissue of the compilation—in by far
the handsomest form, by the way, in which it has
ever yet made its appearance—it would hardly be
an extravagance to assert that the omissions are
barely anywhere discoverable. In place of the small
red volume of two or three hundred pages—dis-
appointing to the last degree at almost every
turn of the leaf—we have no in Men of the
Time, a very substantial volume indeed, ex-
tended to as many as 860 double-columned
pages, strongly half-bound in maroon coloured
cloth and leather, and comprising within it
—Thoroughly Revised and Brought Down to the
Present Time—Biographical Notices of Eminent
Living Characters of both Sexes—beginning (this
most comprehensive of contemporary Biographical
Dictionaries) with such a man as the Emir Abd-el-
Kader, and ending with such another man as the
Count Zamoyski. As a table-book for perpetual
reference the value of the work is hardly to be
estimated. Not a newspaper-reader in the land
but would be rejoiced to possess it. And, once
consulted, the book becomes a sort of necessity.
The publishers have evidently bestowed unusual
pains upon it, in every way. Cela va. sans
dire, of course, in regard to the mere getting-up of
the volume, such as in reference, for example, to the
mere quality of the paper, or to the general excel-
lence of the typography. What we refer to more
especially, when we speak of the pains bestowed by
them upon the compilation, is the care manifested,
at every turn of the leaf, in the obvious endeavour
there has been throughout to secure to the work, as
far as might be in any way practicable, the two
great merits of Accuracy and Completeness. The diffi-
culty there is in bringing the contents of a volume of
this particular character fully up to a level with the
date of publication, arises clearly from the circum-
stance that the materials of the work, so to speak,
are in constant movement and fluctuation. Else-
where in our impression of this day, will be found
distinct evidence of what we are here speaking of
in the case of one among the " Men of the Time,"
who has withiu the last few hours breathed his
last, and who has therefore become, as it were,
already, in this newly-published volume, a sort of
anachronism. We allude to Mr. Dudley Costello,
but just now deceased, at St. John's Wood. But,
even that is an instance, alas ! in no way isolated or
even exceptional. While this New Edition has been
passing through the press—how many others of these
Men of the Time have, in the same way as Mr.
Dudley Costello, become, as we have just now ex-
pressed it, anachronisms ? Take but a few of them
by way of illustration—Sam Slick, otherwise Jus-
tice Haliburton—the Champion of England, Sir
Henry Dymoke—Admiral Fitzroy, the Meteoro-
logist—Professor Aytoun, poet, critic, humorist,
novelist, all in one—the brave old soldier, Sir George
Brown—the accomplished statesman, the Earl of
Carlisle—Sir William Hamilton, the famous philo-
sopher—President Lincoln and the Due de Morny
—Marshal Magnan and Viscount Combermere.
There is Mr. Cobden, too, and there is Sir Joseph
Paxton—to say nothing of others—whose names are
here entered, as among living men of eminence, but
whose lives are already ended before the Messrs.
Routledges' great Contemporary Biographical
Dictionary can be completely passed through
the press and ready for publication ! It is
with the compilers of such a publication as this, as it
is with the Photographers of a Great Living Multi-
tude. However rapid their manipulation—while the
lens is uncovered—some individuals amongst that
great living multitude are certain to have moved—
before the process requisite to be gone through in
fixing them upon the camera, can by possibility be
completed. Here and there, consequently, the
otherwise all but perfect effect of the whole
is perforce and quite unavoidably marred
or blurred, so to express it, by some casual
flaw or blot. Anyone who has seen Mr. Herbert
Watkins' wonderful photograph of the Grand
Stand and Race Course upon the last Derby Day, a
few seconds before the race was run, will recognise
the force and aptness of our illustration, as applied
to this kindred achievement of another art—this, as
far as possible, instantaneous portraiture en
masse ,of the Men of the Time. Here and
there—as in the photograph a figure has
moved—there is a blurr ! But that it is so, is
just simply and absolutely unavoidable. No fault
obviously resting, in either instance, here with the
photographic artist, or here, again, with the bio-
graphical compiler. As skilfully as so difficult a
task can be accomplished, it has, in each instance,
been accomplished. The Photograph is a marvel of
ingenuity, and so is the Biographical Dictionary.
One distinguishing feature of this new edition of
Men of the Time ought here especially to be notified,
being an improvement, as it appears to us, of espe-
cial and exceptional importance. We allude to the
Classified Index prefixed to the volume—showing at
a glance, in so many clusters or groups, Actors,
Agriculturtsts, Authors, Architects, and so forth.
We will give one of these clusters or groups from
the Classified Index by way of illustration, selecting
one that, from its very nature, must obviously be
one of the very briefest :
POETS.

The Right Hon. the Secretary for Foreign Affairs
has been amongst us for the past few days. His
lordship is staying at one of the Kingstown hotels,
but during his brief visit he has been the guest of
the Duke of Leinster and also of Lord Wodehouse.
Last evening he took part in the ceremonial of
announcing the awards made by the several juries
in our Industrial Exhibition. The occasion was, of
course, availed of for the delivery of several speeches.
Amongst the speakers were Earl Russell, Lord
Houghton, and Sir Robert Peel. As your readers
may be anxious to hear Earl Russell's opinion on
our International Exposition, I append it in full.
His lordship, who was warmly applauded on rising,
said—

If in order to be entitled to your thanks it were necessary
to have any scientific knowledge of the beautiful objects
that have been displayed in this Exhibition, I certainly
should be one of the last who were entitled to those thanks.
And although the Lord Mayor has been pleased to say that,
by the letters which I wrote to foreign courts, I promoted and
facilitated the objects of the Exhibition, I have to say that
that was no more than the simple duty of a member of the
Government which takes ahearty interest in the welfare and
prosperity of Ireland. But in another sense I may perhaps
not inappropriately appear on this occasion, as 1 can tell
you how delighted her Majesty will be—taking an interest
in every exhibition of this sort, as it is natural that her
Majesty should do—at hearing of the complete success of
this Exhibition. (Cheers.) And of that complete success
I believe there is but one unanimous voice, not only
throughout Ireland, but on the part of every person from
foreign countries who has had the pleasure of visiting
this Exhibition. (Hear, hear.) And now, after fourteen
years' experience, we can see how much these exhibitions
tend to excite industry, to foster what we may call a com-
petitive examination of the products and of the manufac-
tures of different countries, and how much they tend to

improve the taste, which, if it is lagging behind in one
country, may see by comparison with other countries in
what point they failed, and are thereby greatly facilitated
in their course. In that respect there is no Exhibition, I
believe, that can surpass the present. At least lam sure,
from the specimens I have seen of the sculpture andpaint-
ing which adorn the walls of this Exhibition, that it is
one highly to the credit of those who have exhibited,
and highly to the satisfaction of all who take an in-
terest in the progress of industry and in the progress
of art. With regard to the success of the Ex-
hibition I will make but two observations. The one is,
that it is necessary, for the success of such exhibitioip,
that nations should be at peace with one another. (Cheers.)
In those times, now happily 50 years removed, when all the
nations of Europe were in arms to combat against each
other, it would have been folly, and worse than folly, to
have proposed any exhibition in which the various nations
should exhibit the works of industry and manufacture, the
produce of different countries, and, above all, the works of
the fine arts. Another observation I must make is, that it
is likewise requisite, for the success of these peaceful arts,
that internal tranquillity should be maintained. (Hear,
hear.) It would be quite impossible that men should devote
themselves to industrial pursuits, that they should culti-
vate and pursue those inventions which distinguish our
age, those marvellous productions by which we are en-
abled to go so quickly over the whole space of the conti-
nent, and to convey our thoughts in a minute some 3,000
or 4,000 miles distant—l say it would be impossible that
such arts, such inventions, such discoveries should be made
unless those who made them could be secured that they
would enjoy the fruits of their industry, and could rest in
peace that what they were enabled to do would be secured
to them, and that they could enjoy it. I beg only to say
further, that I am sure, by making progress in these arts,
you will promote the welfare of the country, and give satis-
faction to all who desire the success of such undertakings.
(Applause.)

DEATH OF MR. DUDLEY COSTELLo.—Literature
has sustained a loss in the death of Mr. Dudley Cos-
tello, who died at his residence at St. John's-wood, on
Saturday last, in the 63d year of his age. Though origi-
nally intended for a military profession, he soon showed an
inclination for a literary life, and followed that vocation to
his death, manifesting considerable industry and versatility
in his writings. We take the following nctice of the prin-
cipal events in his career from the new edition of " Men
of the Time," which has just been issued :—" Mr. Costello
was the son of an English officer of the line. He was edu-
cated for the army at Sandhurst, and, obtaining a commis-
sion, served with his regiment and on the staff in North
America and the West Indies. Having relinquished the
army, he turned his attention to literature, pursued his
studies on the Continent for some years, and, while in Paris
(1829-31), was associated with the labours of the icthyolo-
gical department of the Rogue Animal,' under Baron
Cuvier. Returning to London in 1833, he became succes-
sively foreign editor of the Morning Herald (1838), and
Daily News (1846). Besides a volume of travels, A Tour
through the Valley of the Meuse' (1845)—Mr. Costello has
produced the following works of fiction Stories from a
Screen' (1855); ' The Joint-stock Banker' (1856) ; ' The
Millionaire' (1858) ; Faint Heart never won Fair Lady'
(1859) ; and Holidays with Hobgoblins ' (1860), repub-
lished from Bentley's Miscellany, the New Monthly Magazine,
and Household Words. He has also been connected with
the Examiner newspaper since 1845, and for 30 years has
contributed to many of the periodicals of the day. Mr.
Costello's latest separate publication is Italy, from the
Alps to the Tiber,' an illustrated work in two volumes."
To this we may add that Mr. Costello was a few years ago
placed on the pension list, with a pension of £lOO a year,
on account of his literary ability.
SUDDEN DEATH IN A FIELD.—On Monday after-
noon the body of a labouring man was discovered in
a field at West-end-lane, Hampstead. Deceased had been
at work during the former part of the day in a brickfield
near the Finchley-road, and was discovered to be dead by
a fellow workman. It is curious to notice how little men
of this class know of each other, in this case not even the
name of deceased being known. The following description
may possibly lead to his identification. He is apparently
about 40 years of age, five feet nine inches in height, dark
complexion, black hair, three teeth deficient in the upper
jaw, and one in the lower, and was dressed in a brown-
tweed coat, ditto vest, light cord trousers, one Blucher and
one Wellington boot, and brown check cap.
FATAL AFFRAY BETWEEN Two BROTIIERS. —On
Saturday night a quarrel took place at Norwich
between two brothers named William and George Watson,
which resulted in the death of the latter. The men, who
are in humble life, were at the Plasterers' Arms public-
house, and a dispute arose between them, George Watson,
the deceased, strike his brother two or three times in the
face. William Watson then took up a small piece of iron
and struck his brother a blow over the left eye, which
knocked him down. The landlord and some other people
who were in the house brought some water and washed
the injured man's face, and ho was carried to his mother's
house and laid outside the door. At 4 o'clock on Sunday
morning he was still found lying on the door step, and he
was then carried in, undressed, and put to bed, but at 10
o'clock on Sunday morning he died, having never rallied.
William Watson was taken into custody on Monday, and
was brought before the local magistrate and remanded.
The deceased was a larger and more powerful man than
his brother.
