THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 25, 1862.

Mr. COBDEN saw the corn laws repealed by the
potato rot, and he may naturally expect to see the
blockade laws repealed by the cotton famine. For
a long time he and his coadjutors bad been prepar-
ing the public mind on the subject of the corn laws
especially, and free trade generally, when the Irish
famine, supervening on the former instruction,
finished the business, and inaugurated the era of
untaxed food, and duties for revenue only. The
blockade question has not been discussed so long,
and is therefore hardly ripe yet for a decision, with
full conviction. Still Mr. COBDEN, the leading
advocate of the abolition of commercial blockades,
has a great-present advantage over Lord PALMER-
STON, Sir G. C. LEWIS, and Lord RUSSELL, his
chief opponents on this question ; nor can we won-
der that he should, after such splendid triumphs
over their policy of a few years back on the corn
laws, feel pretty confident that he shall ultimately
gain the victory on this point too. At this moment
he points to the distress of Lancashire, and
can affirm without the possibility of contradiction,
that it is all due to the PALMERSTON, as contrasted
with the COBDEN policy. If Lord PALMERSTON
had accepted the offer of America to abolish the
right of armed vessels, public as well as private,
to seize the property of the enemy, certain it is
that Lancashire would have had a fair supply of
cotton, notwithstanding the war.

We must remember the precise point. The sig-
natories to the treaty of Paris in 1856 agreed to
the abolition of privateering. They invited America
to join. America declined unless they went fur-
ther, and desired to abolish the right of Govern-
ment vessels of war to seize the ships and property
belonging to the enemy. War, in fact, was to be
reduced to a duel between the armies, navies, and
fortresses of the belligerent Powers ; and trade,
with the exception of contraband of war, was to be
as free and unharmed as in time of peace. The
reasons of the Americans were obvious, and indeed
avowed. Their public navy was small, they did
not wish to be at the expense of a large one, their
strength in destroying an enemy's commerce
would lie in their privateers, and they could hardly
therefore be expected to allow nations who kept
large navies the advantage of capturing their
ships, while they deprived themselves of the means
of retaliation. With the question of seizing pri-
vate property at sea, that of commercial blockades
is so intimately connected that the two can never
long be separated. Indeed in 1859, Mr. CASS,
on the part of the American Government,
when the Italian war broke out, made a
proposition to our Government to abolish commer-
L cial blockades altogether, and to restrict the opera-
tions of blockades to places actually invested by the
enemy, as the means of compelling surrender. The
proposal was contemptuously rejected by Lord
r AUtEit,,To—
LI, who even refused to lay on the table
of the liontelof
Commons the despatch of the Ameri-
can Secretary.

of it. He will take care that the country shall
weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the two
systems—that they shall be canvassed at com-
mercial and public meetings, as well as
in the House of Commons. " Does it answer Eng.
land's purpose to maintain the old right of com-
mercial blockade ?" is the question which our Pre-
mier will have to answer now; not, as on the for-
mer occasion, as a merely theoretical one, but one
which the starving millions of Lancashire and the
numerous subscribers to their relief will feel to be
practical enough.

The peculiarity of blockades is that they punish
neutrals as well as the belligerents. Seizure of
property at sea, even by privateers, affects only the
property of the nations who are at war ; but, as
England and all Europe feel at this moment, the
commercial blockade of the Southern ports is quite
as severely felt by the innocent families of Lanca-
shire as by the families of the South who support
the war. Neutrals often must suffer by block-
ades as much, perhaps sometimes more, than the
belligerents themselves. We have no wish on the
present occasion to give a dogmatic opinion. We
feel very reluctant to give up an old and effec-
tive method of bringing an enemy to terms—we
feel the force of Sir G. C. LEWIS'S argument that
in the interests of humanity it is better that war
should be as afflictive an evil as possible, since
nations will not then so lightly engage in it ; still it
is folly indeed not to learn by facts and experience,
and we must all confess that Lancashire is a
home lesson to us on the mischief done to neutrals
by blockades. Let war afflict to the uttermost
those who engage in it, and drive them to peace
by its unendurable burdens, but let it not be a
worse punishment to the innocent bystanders
than to the belligerents. It will take a long list
of theoretical advantages to balance the practical
evils brought on Lancashire by England's support
of commercial blockades. We feel that there is
force not easily met in Mr. COBDEN'S reply to
the common objection—" Oh, but if you injure
yourselves by the system of commercial blockades
you may injure your enemy a great deal more."
In reply Mr. COBDEN says—" I want to know in
the wide range of the world what conceivable
injury you can do to any people on earth that
will equal the mischief that must be inflicted upon
this region of Lancashire if the present state of
things continues for another six months." We
shall have abundance of theatrical claptrap in reply,
both from the Government and the press, bat Eng-
lishmen are peculiarly susceptible of argument
from hard fact, and it will tax all Lord PAL-
MERSTON'S powers to meet the sad eloquence of
the Lancashire Lesson.

If the sensitiveness of the House of Lords has in
any way been wounded during the last few sessions, li
its sensitiveness, we mean as to its own pride,
power, and privileges—the recollection of all these
little disagremens will go far towards being obli-
terated under the genial influence of Lord STAN-
LEY'S very truthful, very graceful, and singularly
impressive retrospect of the last thirty years' admi-
nistration. " When I look to the Government of
the country," he says, "during the last thirty
years I find that there have been Seven Administra-
tions; and when I look to those who have been the
the heads of those administrations, I find that four
out of seven have had seats in the Lords—three of
them, I observe in passing, being chiefs of liberal
administrations, Lord GREY, Lord MELBOURNE,
and Lord ABERDEEN ; and of the remaining three
one has since accepted a peerage, and another,
though sitting in the House of Commons,
is a peer of Ireland, and in so far is
directly connected with the other house of
Parliament." Meaning by this sufficiently plain
allusion to two unnamed Prime Ministers—still,
happily, both of them not only among our surviv-
ing contemporaries, but leading members of this
present administration—the one still as First Lordof
the Treasury, the other as her MAJESTY'S Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, the Earl RUSSELL and
Viscount PALMERSTON. So popular, however, is
the last mentioned veteran Premier, that while
Lord STANLEY numbers him as among the list of
Liberal Prime Ministers, it is a matter of absolute
notoriety that his own Conservative associates
almost en masse, claim him (the Premier)
loudly and confidently for their own. Insomuch
that Mr. Du CANE has but just now facetiously
dubbed Lord PALMERSTON the nightly Pene-
lope of the so-called Liberal administration.
As an oft reiterated joke, of course, this is all
very humorous and very telling. But it would
take a good many Du CANES, BENTINCKS, and
BERESFORDS to demonstrate quite clearly to the
comprehension of the Liberal Electors of the United
Kingdom—that a Cabinet comprising within it a
RUSSELL, a GLADSTONE, a MILNER GIBSON, a
CHARLES VILLIERS, and a few others that might
be added to the catalogue of names, if we cared to
be ON er exact in the precision of their enumeration,
has been, is, or ever can be, a mere make-believe of
a Liberal Government, nothing less flagrant, in
fact, than a Tory Government in disguise.
No, the actual truth of the matter is so
entirely otherwise that, after the merri-
ment provoxed at these agricultural banquets
has been laughed out thoroughly in appreciation
of the raciest sarcasm ever flung at Lord PALMER-
STON as the Tory Head of a Liberal Administration
—it is not only a matter of absolute certainty that
its Liberalism is the very vitality of this present
PALMERSTON Administration, but that a proclivity
to Liberalism has, during the last thirty years, been
an absolute necessity with one after another of the
Seven Governments enumerated or glanced at! Is
it questioned for an instant ? Look at them !
First, there was Lord GREY'S Government—the
Government that gave us the Reform Bill.
Secondly, there was Lord MELBOURNE'S Govern-
ment—from first to last, in all its changes and mo-
difications, in its principles, its acts, and its aspire-
taitoenasd,

leaving leaving its illustrious Premier thenceforth the
cynosure of Liberal instead of Tory eyes and (when
he died) the most beloved, as Lord PALMERSTON
himself is now the most popular, among our leading
statesmen.

Fourthly, there was Earl RUSSELL'S Government,
a Government that was nothing whatever if not a
Liberal Government. Heaven knows that during
six years' hold upon power and place, with all
their perquisites, it did little enough in the way of
forwarding the work of Liberal legislation. But,
all the while, in name and heart and conscience
it was, we repeat just nothing, if it was not a
Liberal Government.

Fifthly, there was the Earl of ABERDEEN'S
Government, of which the same may be said in all
essential particulars. Although unhappily for
England, by allowing Europe to drift into a war
tbat might with a more skilled Rad vigorous

policy have been readily enough avoided, it left as
its souvenir to posterity, the memory of a terrible
but glorious conflict that saved Constantinople
from falling into the grasp of the Russian CZAR,
but only contrived to effect this one good result of
the struggle by the expenditure of 100,000 lives
and of £100,000,000.
Sixthly, there was the Earl of DERBY'S Govern-
ment—avowedly, it is true, a Conservative Govern-
ment—a Government comprising amongst its mem•
hers a variety of good old Tory chiefs, true blue,
staunch for Church and State, and resolved no doubt
in their heart of hearts to do just as little as was pos-
sible in the way of liberal improvement. Yet even
with the DERBY Cabinet, such was;the necessity of
a decided proclivity towards Liberalism, that it was
constrained even at starting to bid for a retention
of office by introducing a Reform Bill !
Seventhly, there is Viscount PALMERSTON'S
Government. And after all that has been
said, or that can be said jocosely about the
Premier's own sympathies with Toryism, or at any
rate with ultra Conservatism, the Administration
of which he is the head is, in all essential respects,
not merely in name, observe, but praetically and in
principle, and engrained into its very conscience,
and one with its very life—a Liberal Government,
a Free Trade Government, a Government pledged
to the cause of general progress, advancement, and
enlightenment. It is idle to talk now of re-
trogression. A Tory Government, carried out
as a Tory Government, is an impossible ana-
chronism. It could not exist longer than Lord
GODERICH'S Administration. It would die the
death as inevitably as if it were housed in an ex-
hausted receiver. Whatever its name, the Govern-
ment of England must be in pretence, if not in act,
a Liberal Government. Tories—if there really are
any of those political Dodos still surviving—Con-
servatism of the bluest blood imaginable—must, on
taking office (whenever they may have the chance
of it), " assume the virtue" of Liberalism, even " if
they have it not."

Captain
WILKES again ! The Bermudas are this
time the scene of his courageous exploits against
unarmed vessels. When her MAJESTY'S vessels
show him their bull-dogs, he and his seem to have
no heart for the encounter. The screw steamer
Gladiator, with 1,500 bales of cotton on board, tells
us the story. The notorious captain, whose doings
have already cost us £700,000, seems to be taking
great liberties at the Bermudas; warned that he
could, according to her MAJESTY'S proclamation,
have but 24 hours to take in necessary coal to the
nearest point, he being in no want of coal, makes a I
pretext of needing some, and stays from Friday till
the following Thursday. The Admiral—for that is
the honour he has earned by his services to the Trent
—is blockading the Islands with three ships, one of
which, at night, he has so anchored across the prin-
cipal channel that no ship could enter or leave.
He has boarded mail steamers again :—" The royal
mail steamer Merlin, Capt. SAMPSON, when within
three miles of the land yesterday morning, was
fired at and brought to by one of those gunboats,
and though the officer in charge of the boat, when
he became aware of the true character of the vessel
he had stopped, apologised." Indeed, with his
little squadron ho appears to have done all he dare
do to get up a quarrel.
We presume that the Gladiator's cargo consisted
of cotton, which, much against the will of Cap-
tain WILKES, had run the blockade, and been taken
on board the Gladiator—perhaps it was payment
for WHITWORTH guns or Enfield Rifles ; be that
as it natty, the Gladiator was not inclined to trust
the temper of Admiral WILT Es, and having no
guns of her own, obtained the convoy of her Ma-
jesty's ship Desperate. Scarcely had she parted
' company with the Desperate when a Federal man
of war sent a boat's crew to order her captain to
come on board the Federal man-of-war and report
himself. The Englishman, with her Majesty's ves-
sel so near, not yet out of gunshot, refused to move,
and as the Desperate ran out two guns on seeing
the Gladiator boarded, Admiral WILKEs' subordi-
nate thought it more prudent to let the merchant-
man proceed quietly.
The Americans are, we doubt not, rather short of
naval commanders, as well as of military officers ;
still it looks like wishing to create mischief when
uas WILKES is ordered to
a where, others, he is likely to come
shah
station an
intemperate
of
all bully
into collision with the authorities of the country he
has so grossly insulted. There is plenty of other
blockading work in Southern parts, where one
American bully would be mAchei against another.
There does seem no need to set him to blockade the
Bermudas, if blockaded they must be; the only
reason can be that of daring England to
the uttermost. At the very best it is wretched
taste ; we suspect it is intentional Yankee discour-
tesy. " You refused to let us keep the commis-
sioners," they say ; " we will send the hero
WiLicEs amongst your mail packets and merchant-
men to harrass them to the utmost, that you will
bear." It is doubtless very annoying to the Yan-
kees that the Southern skippers and ours contrive
to carry on a trade through the Bahamas and the
Bermudas ; it must cause them irritation, still they
must keep within the law. If ships will clear from
Europe to ports in our Islands near the American
coast, the destination renders even bombshells,
guns, and rifles not contraband of war. If the
South will contrive to get them thence, they have
as good a right to do so as Mr. STANTON to get
them from Liverpool or Belgium. It may not be
pleasant to Admiral WILKEs and his employers,
but it must be borne, and, moreover, we must de-
mand of him, to put up with it good-temperedly,
for we will stand no more nonsense.

GARIBALDI'S recent removal to Spezzia from the
fortress of Varignano may be regarded at once as
an augury of a happy kind as to his health being
really improved. This, in spite of all these sinister
rumours about the ball being there in the ankle,
and the leg requiring amputation after all above
the knee. The telegram, it is true, formally coun-
tenanced these gloomy intimations the other day—
intimations at all times, coming no matter from
what quarter, so very alarming to the friends of
GARIBALDI. Now it is the correspondent of a
Paris newspaper, like the writer of the com-
munication published a few days since in
the Siecle, under date from Spezzia the 20th inst.
Now, it is some traveller who has seen another
traveller who knows a patient of a certain doctor
acquainted with one of the medical gentleman still
in attendance upon the Hero. Never is it an eye-
witness of the General's sufferings who tells us that
he bears the appearance of a man fast sinking into
his grave—that his look is blanched and
cadaverous—that his limbs are attenuated—
that his wound gives ugly symptoms of inflamma-
tion and gangrene endangering not only the limb
but the Hero's life. The ill news always comes in
" questionable shape," and in a roundabout way.
That is at any rate one consolation that has its
obvious and most significant encouragement and
consolation. Recognize it to be so, the friends of
GARIBALDI in
England may yet confidently hope
for the best.

FIRST APPEARANCE OF GIOVANNI
ANGELICA AND GEV ANE ARENA.

A private performance was given yesterday after-
noon, at St. James's Hall, by those artistes, who are
styled Neapolitan Ministrels, the former being a
performer on the mandoline, and the latter a pro-
fessor of the guitar. They commenced the perform-
ance by giving the Garibaldi march with varia-
tions, which is a fine, spirited piece of music, and
was well and tastefully executed by them. This
was followed by the execution of selections,from
the. " Trovatore" and " Traviata," and also the
English hornpipe of " Jack Robinson," with varia-
tions. The performance gave the greatest satisfac-
tion to the select party invited, and no doubt the
public concerts to be given by the talented artistes
will be equally appreciated.

THE READING OF THE ENGLISH LITURGY.—
CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 23.—The English Lecturer (Mr.
D' Orsey) will commence his lectures to candidates for holy
orders, on Monday, 27th inst., at his rooms, Corpus Christi
College.

Yesterday, by command of Lord Willoughby
D'Er,:sby, the Lord Great Chamberlain, no' ice was issued
that, after Saturday, the let of November, the public would
only be admitted to view the House of Lords on the Satur-
day in each week between the hours of ten and four.

SWEDEN.—The inauguration of the Stockholm
and Gottenburg Railway will take place on the 4th of
November. The King has invited all the important per-
sonages of the kingdom to the ceremony.
The commune of Saint-Ay has just been the scene
of a remarkable act of courage. A mad dog had broken
its chain, and, rushing through the village, had knocked
down a man who happened to be in its way and endeavoured
to bite him in the face. The man resisted as well as he
could, but found himself becoming exhausted. At this
moment a tinman of the village, named Marquenet, seeing
the danger of his neighbour, rushed forward, and, seizing
the animal by the back of the neck, held it in that position
until it was shot.
ADMISSION OF ATTORNEYS.—There are 114
original applications next term to be admitted attorneys
and more than 50 renewed applications by persons who
have served their articles of clerkship.
ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—
The engineer of this company reported as to the progress
of the works that the line of telegraph was completed at
Akron, that the branch from Corry to Titusxville, 27 miles
in length, was completed, and that the branch from Mead-
ville to Franklin was nearly ready for the rails. He also
reported that the works on the main line beyond Corry
were making rapid progress. The receipts on the main line
from its junction with the New York and Eris Railway at
Salamanca to Corry, 60 miles in length, amounted, for the
month of September, to 30,039 dols.
FITE Loss OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER CLEO-
PATItA.—The following is the judgment of the court of
inquiry into the facts connected with the loss of the African
mail steamer Cleopatra, which was delivered at the Police •
court, Liverpool, yesterday morning, by Mr. T. S. Raffles,
the Liverpool stipendiary magistrate:—" Since the adjourn.-
meat of the court, we have given the evidence in this case
—the statement of the captain—and the able speech of his
counsel, the most anxious and careful consideration. It is
with regret we feel ourselves obliged to pronounce the
master of the Cleopatra in default, as we are of opinion that
he took his course too near the land, an error which he would
have avoided had he used the deep sea lead at one p.m. of
the 19th August, and subsequently along the coast, which
omission, coupled with the circumstance that he did not
make due allowance for the currents, caused him altogether
to mistake his position, and eventually brought his vessel
upon the bar off the mouth of the Shebar river, where she
was wrecked, and which point he imagined himself to have
passed. Having arrived at this conclusion, it is the duty
of the Court, in accordance with the provisions of the Mer-
chant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, to pronounce
judgment upon the master for such default. In determining
the penalty which we should inflict, we have taken into
consideration the high character given to Captain Delamotte
as a seaman, and his praiseworthy conduct subsequent to
the wreck. The decision of the Court is, that the certificate
of Captain Delamotte be suspended for six calendar months
from this date." This judgment, and the report on which
it was founded, will be forwarded to the Board of Trade.
THE VINTAGE IN FRANCE.—Mr. Crosland in his
circular says :—" The vintage having been concluded in
the neighbourhood of Bordeaux, I have the pleasure
to inform you that the result is more satisfactory
than the prospects two months ago led the growers to
expect. Early in the year the appearance of the vineyards
was very propitious ; but as the season advanced, the crop
was seriously affected by unfavourable weather. Severe
storms of hail in May, then rain for some weeks, followed
by overpowering and exceptional heat in August, tended
to diminish the produce. The quantity of the new vintage
in Medoc may be estimated as two-thirds of an average ;
the low-class wines being more abundant than in 1861, and
the high-class wines rather less."

ABOLITION OF STATUTE FAIRS IN YORKSHIRE.—
A society, under the designation of the " Bulraer and Ainsty
Association," has been formed for the object of rescuing
female servants from the annoyances and evils attending
" hirings" in open marketplaces. The society has opened
head-offices in Malton, York, and Selby, for gratuitous re-
gistration of servants' names and requirements, and where
masters can make engagements for a small fee. These will
be in operation on to-day and henceforward ; and the
society offer inducements to obtain the attendance of the
young women at the rooms provided, at the same time
abstaining from interference with the system of "hiring
pennies," or any of the old customs. The society aim at the
ultimate extinction of statute hirings.
MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE AT GRANTHAM.—An
occurrence of the greatest suspicion and mystery has trans-
pired at drantham during the last few days, cau,.ing no
little excitement in the town and neighbourhood. It ap-
pears that on Monday last a girl named Mary Hodson was
brought before the borough magistrates on a charge of
stealing various articles, the property of her master, Mr.
Charles Wand, of Vine-street. The evidence against the
prisoner was clear, although she pleaded "Not Guilty,"
and was accordingly committed for trial. She hal not
left the police•court above two hours, however, when, to
the great surprise of every person who knew her, she was
found to be dead in her cell. The following day an inquest
was held in the Town hall, before Mr. Wagstaffe and a
very respectable jury, From the evidence then adduced it
seemed that about 1 o'clock, or two hours before she died,
the prisoner ate a piece of pork pie, which was given her by
her father. In the course of an hour the matron of
the gaol went into her cell and found her lying helpless on
the floor, complaining that the pie she had eaten was kill-
ing her. She began to shake violently, and her legs grew
s iff. Three medical men were sent for, but their efforts
were of no use, and the girl died in her mother's arms. The
girl told Dr. Femely that unless the pork-•pie left her
stomach she should aie. Dr. Femely stated at the inquest
that he saw nothing, after making a post mortem examina-
tion, that could have caused death. Stry hnine was diffi-
cult to discover, and the analysis could not be properly car-
ried on in Grantham. Mr. Jeans, surgeon, said he could
draw no other inference but that deceased died from poison.
Dr. Eaton said that death could only have resulted from a
nervous shock or from strychnine. It was resolved to send
the stomach and contents to Professor Taylor, of London,
but first to allow other medical men in the town to examine
the body, the expense of a London examination being very
heavy. The inquest was then adjourned.
S. HIGH TlDE.—Owing to the recent gales and
the great quantity of rain water that has fallen from the
high and low lands into the river Thames, the water has
risen to an unusual height, flooding the market gardens
along the Surrey and Kentish shores, and doing an incal-
culable amount of mischief to the vegetables growing in the
grounds, and, combined with the high winds, has in many
places literally swept acres of vegetation away. Many of
the licensed victuallers will also be serious losers, for the
water rushed into the cellars and rose so high as to send
casks of beer and spirits running about in all direction, and
in many cases the casks were split and the liquors of course
lost. At London-bridge high water was due at five minutes
past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when a scene on the rioter
of an exciting nature took place. Owing to the gale which
had prevailed, every precaution was taken to prevent the
shipping and smaller craft from being carrried away by the
force of the current, with the exception that a sudden rise of
the river would cause the vessels to ascend much higher
than the additional hawsers employed to keep them in their
proper position, and the consequence was the fastenings
snapped in many places, and the craft driven about to the
mercy of the waves. In some cases small wherries were
driven against each other, and had their sides stove in and
sank. The water at high tide rose so high as to enter the
cellars of her Majesty's Custom-house, in Thames-street,
and after the water had drained off a few lime sacks were
found to have ignited, owing to the lime becoming slaked
by the water. Fortunately several of the fire brigade, who
are always kept on duty, having been called to the spot by
the watchman, they succeeded in quickly extinguishing the
fire. The accounts brought up by the guards of the South-
Western and South-Eastern Railways are of a disastrous
character ; in many places acres of ground are said to be
under water.

THE ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY AT 'MALTON.—
At the Leeds borough sessions, the grand jury ignored the
bill against James Lombard, who had been committed for
trial for having in his possession a quantity of wearing ap-
parel, the property of Mr. J. Jackson, builder, of Norton,
near Malton. It will be remembered that Lombard and
Mrs. Jackson catae to Leeds together with a quantity of
property belonging to Mr. Jackson, the prosecutor, and
that the latter discovered them living together in Templar-
street. It was understood that there was groat reluctance
on the part of the prosecutor to proceed against Lombard,
but the case did not go to the petty jury, owing to the bill
Leing thrown out, as above stated.
