THE SUN•
LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 30, 1862.

Mr. COBDEN'S speech last night was much more
discursive than the one at Manchester. It was
addressed to a more miscellaneous audience, and
had a good deal of the political cast about it. The
state of things in the cotton trade around him
naturally claimed first attention ; and with 3,000
hearers of all classes, masters, and operatives, he
seems to have had a good word for all. Lord PAL-
MERSTON was the only man severely handled, but
even in his case it was the policy, not the man,
which the tribune of the people dealt with. His
lordship, personally, was excused on account of
education-in an antiquated school, and of his being
Rot hypocritical but deluded.
Mr. COBDEN maintained, in the presence of this
ge assembly, that the whole country was justly
responsible for their present sufferings. They were
Precisely in the same position as they would be if
-"aglanaNNere engaged in a foreign war, and this
countrva
country
„Potts blockaded. In that case the whole
t'ld meet the expense of raising the
blockade. But
as the blockade of the Southern
ports produces precisely the same effects, and that
blockade is entirely ire i
to the English Govern-
ment supporting the 7 due 8
of commercial blockades,
the claim of the Lant"l ei •
re
Imperial claim.
The
.sufferers is really an
sufferings are caused by a
purely Imperial policy,
While, therefore, Mr.
COBD,EN grateful iy acknowledges the
good so widely
shown by voluntary subscriptions, he does not
shrink from giving his opinion that other aid may

be necessary.

A voin

to el

* of much interest with Mr. P
-03gb•EN
.ear the character of the millowner from,
n 3 as
'
aspersions. While there may be a few whose ust
wealth
has been realised through the cotton manufacture,
yet, as he remarked, the
greater part of the mann-
faeturers must be almoot paralyzed by the failure of
their supplies. The manufacturer whose mill is
idle has generally his property invested in his
plant, and if he has "borrowed money on it he is
even harder pressed. The average interest of money
on his mill will amou, xt to £2,000 a year. Then
the
cottages which he has built, frequently, for his
hands, will
yield him no rent; meanwhile his lia-
bility tor five or six l tundred a year for poor rates

still remains. Thus the millowner, who is rich only ro
in bricke and mortar and machinery while he can
be supplied with cotton, when that supply is stopped,
is at once saddled with annual losses and charges to
which the most munificent contribution of a rich
nobleman are but a trifle. His illustration,—for us
southern folk—of all the cornmillers at once losing
their supply of wheat, of having nevertheless their
their poor-rates to pay, and losing the rents of the
cottages in which their workmen lived, while others
called on them to maintain their workmen thrown
out of employ—was a happy ene. It is a fair
parallel with the case of the suffering millowners.
After all the charity shown by persons at a distance,
the millowners' contributions are immensely the

larger.
But the operatives are proportionably larger con.
tributors still. Rochdale furnishes a painful,
though not more than an average illustration. Out
of 14,071 persons employed in the cotton trade,
10,793 are out of work, and the remainder earn-
wages in the week. The
ing only two days'
weekly loss in wages is £6,500, while from
the Board of Guardians and charity com-
bined they reeeive only about £1,500
j a week. They are thus receiving but about one-
fourth of what they had been accustomed to earn
by honest industry. On this point Mr. COBDEN
observed that he only half liked the praise bestowed
on the people for their quiet behaviour under their
trials—since it almost seemed to imply that it was
supposed they were little better than a set of
savages. Mr. COBDEN need not, however, be jea-
lous for his Lancashire operatives. In the agricul-
tural districts similar distress, could it well occur,
would hardly have been borne with the same intelli-
gence and patience. Hungry men, there, seek relief
by burning food. The remembrance of " Swing"
prompts the general commendations of Manchester
and, not its " pauper, but blockaded poor."
On the American war Mr. COBDEN could, of
course, but have his opinion. It is, however, a
very modest one. He can foretell and predict
nothing. He can sympathise with the North, but
pronounce no judgment. His theory would be that
small nations develope the higher powers of
humanity much more than larger ones; but he ob-
serves that the tendency of the countries is now
not to division but to agglomeration ; and, imper-
fect as are the securities of smaller states
at present against the aggressions and plots
of larger states, he cannot censure that tendency.
It has been exemplified in Italy and Hungary in
the old world; and the Americans also seem to think
that if they were disunited, the foreigner might set
his intrusive foot amongst them, or " play off one
State against the other to the degradation and pos-
sible subjection of the whole."
Mr. COBDEN is, of course, entirely in favour of
perfect neutrality on our part. He even complains
of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, that they should not
" enforce upon their own tongues a little
of that non-intervention, which they profess
to apply to their diplomacy"—a remark meant,
we presume, not only for Lord RUSSELL,
but for his friend of the French Treaty, Mr. GLAD-
STONE, Recognition, he objects to, because the
real meaning of it is such steps accompanying it
as should bring us cotton—but he maintains that
it would be cheaper for England to maintain all
the cotton operatives, " and to keep them on turtle,
champagne, and venison, than to send to America
to obtain that cotton by force of arms. It would
involve us in a war, and six months of war would
cost us more than maintaining the population
comfortably for ten years.
Mr. COEDRN lays great stress on the opinion
and resolution of the great North-western States
those in the great region of the Mississippi val-
ley,—Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, lowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. These are the great
corn-growing States. We have to go up the Missi-
sippi a thousand miles to reach them. There are
then 27,000 miles of navigable rivers flowing
through them into the Mississippi—their population
now amounts to eight or ten millions—and hitherto
their determination has been not to allow the Mis-
sissippi to flow through a foreign power. Should
t'ey remain firm by this determination the Eastern
States, who are but their brokers, must
follow, and the war may therefore last
for years. Europe could not impose its
will on the present population of America.
Our intervention would at once unite the whole
people as one man. Instead of the parties, whose
opposition and dissensions may now bring about
peace, we should have the whole of America cor-
dially combining to resist dictation. These are,
indeed, familiar views, but they are worth not-
ing, as those of an avowed friend of the Free
States, and of one who well understands them.
His views on home matters deserve separate con-
sideration.

Flying rumours about Greece come dropping in
thick and fast. War vessels, almost as rapidly and
as numerously, begin to congregate at the Pirwus.
England sends her squadron. France, with an
affectation of doing nothing, prepares to despatch
thither her naval division. Austria is on the alert
—the Kaiser giving orders for a frigate, a corvette,
and two gunboats to hasten, as quickly as steam
can carry them, to the same destination. Prussia
would, of course, do very much the same had she
but the wherewithal. Hankering after a navy she
must needs yet bide her time, as patiently as may
be, before she can hope to possess it. She lacks
even a Kiel to begin with--the taunt is irresistible,
and therefore must be pardoned. What though the
noble Earl, now at the head of the Foreign Depart-
ment—bitten again, it would seem, by that insidious
German Tarantula that has already led him, before
now, such a wild fantastic dance—what though
Earl RUSSELL, once more cajoled by the specious
diplomacy of the Teutonic race, has actually blun-
dered into an advocacy of the shameful and
shadowy claims advanced by Prussia in the name
of that German Empire, to which it is her here-
ditary policy to aspire, has actually blundered
into an advocacy of the claims put for-
ward :by Prussia to wrest the twin Duchies
of Schleswig-Holstein from the possession of
the King of DENMARK as their hitherto
recognised Suzeraine !—Prussia has yet but the
faintest conceivable prospect of obtaining a sea-
port, of building a fleet, of securing a place among
the great maritime powers of Christendom ! Where-
for Prussia is constrained to remain neuter while
thy naval Powers are being promptly represented
at the Piraeus by the divisions despatched thither
by Austria, by France, by England! while
Russia looks askance at the moment—glaring
upon one object of attention just now looked
to by all, namely, the actual state of things
at the Piraeus, glaring upon it, one might
say,. with a decidedly sinister squint, from two
wholly opposite quarters, from the two great lind-
locked seas where her maritime power holds supre-
macy, from the Euxine and from the Baltic! Nay,
while even that E ecood-rate kingdom (of yesterday),
now giving fair
the councils of El3,7nilse of securing her place in
among the dominant e"
the Sixth Great Power
racesothe turn also to the
Piraeus two of her powerful Christendom, while
_
Italy is also despatching in
tr igatea tfbroenVi,.sicteosr_
Emmanuel from Naples, the Tanerete
Edna! An intimation, that, only to be read
