Perhaps we are to have another lull in American
action, since news three nays later, and reaching to
ten or twelve days after the battle of Antietam
Creek, tells of no further movements on either side.
Probably both armies have had enough of it for the
present ; each claims the battle as a victory, the one
because it effected its retreat without molestation,
the other because it compelled retreat. It may well
be, indeed, that each gained its immediate object.
The Confederates would have preferred to remain
in Maryland, because it furnished them with abun-
dant supplies, but finding that the people did not
rise, as had been expected, on behalf of the South,
they saw the game was up, and resolved to return
to Virginia. M'CLELLAN'S prompt march on them
compelled them to fight their way back, and it
now appears that with but 60,000 men, to double,
probably, that number of Federals, they got away
securely_ They doubtless lost a vast number of ,
men as well as their assailants, but it does seem
probable that, including the spoils of Harper's
Ferry, they laid in an ample supply of military
stores at the Federal expense.
We have a little indication by this mail of
the manner in which the conditional and
procrastinating proclamation of emancipation
has been received in the North. The Gover-
nors of all the Free States proper appear
to have accepted it—they determine to support the
PRESIDENT'S " constitutional authority," and as
they add to this, " approval of the proclamation,"
it would seem that they regard it as constitutional
to deal thus with the slave States. The PRESI-
DENT, more like a Prime Minister than a Sove-
reign, has expressed his own opinion also. He is
at least so far popular as to have been serenaded
at New York. On this ccea4ion he spoke of his
proclamation, but certainly with some expression
of doubt as to his own infallibility. The procla-
mation was issued after " full deliberation," and
under a " heavy sense of responsibility." This all
will believe, for the personal integrity and desire
to do right of ABRAHAM LINCOLN is believed in by
all parties. But he " trusted in GOD he had
made no mistake," while he left it to men to judge
of his proclamation, and to act on it as they
pleased. To add to the elements of uncer-
tainty, the Chicago Emancipation Committee have
have published a letter, addressed to them by the
PRESIDENT only nine days before the proclamation
was issued, in which he stated that such a proclama-
tion would be inefficacious if issued, and that aims
put into the hands of the slaves would only fall
into the hands of their masters ! There has been
evidently great hesitation, and fluctuation of
opinion, in the councils at Washington, and the
'result appears to have been a proclamation, adapted
t to Secure the warm adhesion of all the hot Union
re'en and Abolitionists of the North, at the coming
ele3ti"3; to carry, at least, all the Free State go-
vernors with
thpossibilitye Of
it; and to irritate the South without
ita being put in force there. The
Border States, Maryland and Kentucky, have
already began to dispi,
their hostility to it, and
of course the planting States will receive it, with
mingled derision and wrath.

But what will the North Say to Mr. GLAD-
STONE'S personal recognition of the South. It was
expressed in connection with stic'h kindly and apo-
logetic sentiments in regard to the Nurth itself,
that, taken all together, the Unionists will have
great difficulty in censuring the whole. When
they find him, not as many of us have done, think-
ing it well for a vait continent to be divided—at

least of no advantage to England that it should be
—when they hear the ►arm friend of negro eman-
cipation expecting it rather from the divided than
the United States—when they learn that the Govern-
ment neutrality has been sincerely carried out, and
that its effects have been much more favourable to
the North than to the South—when they read
his excuses even for Northern angry feelings
towards England, and his exhortations to us
scribes of the press to abstain from all irritating
language in return when they look at all this
they must feel that he only expresses a cool and
friendly judgment when he says, " We may have
our opinion about slavery; we may be for or against
the South ; but there is no doubt that JEFFERSON
DAVIS and other leaders of the South have made an
army ; they are making, it appears, a navy; and they
have made, what is more than either—they have
made a nation." Mr.GLADSTONE regards the contest
therefore, henceforth, as " not doubtful." What-
ever, therefore, it may be prudent for Mr. GLAD•
STONE and the Government to do, so far as the
opinion of the leading English Minister are known,
they pretty clearly recognise the nationality of the
S3uth.

We entirely agree with Mr. GLADSTONE, as of
course all Englishmen will do, on our policy of
neutrality—and, while we acknowledge that re-
cognition of the South might hasten the termina-
tion of the war, we can hardly think the South are
disposed yet to accept it on the only terms on
which we ought to offer it. If they conquer for
themselves the power to enslave the whole
of North America, from the Isthmus of Pa-
nama to the Potomac and the Ohio, which
is their real object, if they place themselves,
even in a position, as the majority in the South-
wish, to reopen the African slave trade, we of course
shall be unable to deny accomplished facts. But,
till we see the South shut up to its original Slave
States, and deprived of the power of extending
slavery over free soil, England ought to take no
step spontaneously. Both our national honour and
our national feeling, forbid any such recognition as
facilitates the spread of slavery, and the renewal of
the slave trade.

Yesterday brought to a happy close the proceed-
ings of the British Association for the Advance-
ment of Science in 1862, down at Cambridge. Other
assemblages of this body elsewhere may, in pre-
ceding years, have been more important in their
results, but there is not ono of them that can be
pronounced to have proved, in all essential respects,
more successful. There has not been visible, in
any one of the sections, a single hitch throughout.
Much of this smooth working, doubtless, is attri-
butable to the excellence of the general organisa-
tion acquired by annual practice. A great deal of
it is owing to the earnest and cordial co-
operation of the local authorities, in furthering the
designs and in facilitating the arrangements of
the Association. It is from a vivid recognition of
this latter fact that the President's closing speech,
every successive year, may be pronounced, for the
most part, to be purely complimentary. Gathered
together as the promoters and members and
amateur visitors of the Association were,
in this present year of grace, as already upon
two previous occasions, at that ancient seat of
learning, the University of Cambridge—Professor
WILLIS, in his closing speech yesterday, had reason
to distribute his acknowledgments more widely
than there would have been any opportunity for,
had the meeting taken place at some merely fashion-
able or manufacturing town, such, let us say, as
Leamington or Manchester. Thanks in effect had
to be accorded not merely to a local Committee and
the local Corporation, but, as was happily inevitable
uuder tho oirounlFitantspo, fa all kinds of learned
bodies making up together the glory of the Uni-
versity of Cambridge. College after College—
Trinity Hall, Sidney, Sussex, Caine, Clare, King's,
Greville—had to receive the hearty and unaffected
thanks of the Association. From the Master of
each to the Cook—not an official was forgotten by
the President.
" The feast of reason and the flow of soul I "

vied for grateful recollection among the participants
with what some wag—was it Tom HOOD or Tom
INGOLDSBY ?—called

" The feast of turtle and the flow of punch I "

Even the gentleman who had sent microscopes and
various other apparatus for exhibition received an
acknowledgment of their thoughtful courtesy.
Various railway companies came in for the like
amiable marks of recognition—the Great Eastern,
tho Great Northern, and the London and North-
Western. Not that the directors of these com-
panies had done more towards to the advancement
of the interests of the Association than afford cer-
tain facilities for the travelling to and fro of mem-
bers, and for the more convenient issue of return
tickets. Public characters, celebrated statesman,
famous authors, renowned artists, orators, and
philosophers can travel free of all cost upon the
public railways in one or two other countries. But
magnificent recognitions of public service like this
are not in our way. We manage things here—in this
mercantile community—very differently. L. S. D.
is a symbol so potent everywhere in England,
Ireland, Scotland, and Berwick-upon-Tweed, that
it is capable of sobering the most ardent enthu-
siasm—even when the acclamations that enthusi•
asm awakens are at their loudest. L. S. D. being,
in point of fact, to the modern Briton, what
S.P.Q.R. was, of yore, to the ancient Roman !
Awful initials—all powerful—all conquering : in-
scribed upon our every banner—subduing all things
to themselves ! And so, it is purely as a matter of
course, and without a qualm of regret, that we note
the restriction of the invitations vouchsafed in the
last instance here mentioned, to the facilities of
transit Up and Down, and the freer issue of return
tickets. The thought of anything more than that
being ever dreamt of, never once passing through
any one's imagination. For what he and his fel-
low-labourers in the recent doings of the Associa-
tion have received, the President is, and acknow-
ledges himself to be, truly thankful. To colleges,
for the loan of their halls and lecture-rooms, and
for the gift of the succulent and refreshing out-
pourings of their ample butteries—each a sort of
architectural cornucopeia. To the Mayor and Town
Council, for the use of their ancient Guildhall. To
the University collectively, for the free access
accorded at all times during the sittings of the
Association to the Schools, to the Senate, and
especially to the Library, that noble hall of letters,

with so much pomp and ceremony the ancient mys-
teries of Eleusis. Gathered together during these

fixion. The simple reflection that it was near
that very statue of CERES that the assembling
together this year of the members of the British
Association took place, realises to us perhaps as
vividly as anything could, what reasons we, the true
Ancients of the earth (as some philosophic thinker
has wisely remarked) have for gratitude to Heaven
—as those to whose enjoyment and consolation have
been confided, in their very plenitude, the benefits
of Civilisation and the blessings of Christianity.

Nothing could possibly be in better taste or
more admirably to the purpose than Earl RUS-
SELL'S reply to the Italians, the nine Milanese
gentlemen, who, assuming to themselves the respon-
sibility of being the interpreters of the feelings of
their fellow-countrymen, have presented to the
noble Earl, her Britannic MAJESTY'S Foreign
Secretary, a symbolical statue sculptured in
Carrara Marble by an Italian artist, one—CARLO
RomANO ! Than the Foreign Secretary's reply
nothing, we repeat, could by possibility be more
graceful in every syllable. Lord RUSSELL does not
arrogate to himself, or to his colleagues, one
iota of merit in reference to their Italian sym-
pathies, and, if it can be dignified with the term,
what might also be called their Italian policy.
That policy—so far as it has gone—has but ono
single claim to anything like approbation from the
Italians themselves, the priceless merit, however,
under the circumstance, of being absolutely passive
and silent, a policy of avowed Non-Intervention.
After freeing Lombardy by the sweep of his sword,
the French EMPEROR was the first to proclaim for
Italy, at the close of the campaign of Magenta and
Solferino, the Policy of Non-Intervention. Eng-
land, cordially adopting that principle of Non-In-
tervention, has carried.it out, let us say, just a trifle
more literally, perhaps, than the author of the
Treaty of Villafranca. England has, at any
rate, not maintained on Italian soil one
single regiment of her soldiers, to say no-
thing of an entire division. England has neither ac
tually nor virtually " forbidden the banns" between
the North and South of the Peninsula. Non-inter-
vention, so far as the military and naval and diplo-
matic forces of the Government have been concerned,
has presided over the Councils of that Government,
in regard to Italy, as a living and acting principle.
The British Government has allowed Italy to ac-
complish for herself the great task of her emanci-
pation ; and to strive to realise this inestimable
boon of political independence through the simple
device, if she can but grasp it, of Unification. As
O'CoNNELL dinned into the ears of his compatriots so
often (meaning nothing all the while)—" Who would
be frin, themselves must strike the blow !"
Acting in Italy's regard, literally upon this
principle of Non-intervention, Lord RUSSELL in
his admirable letter to the Italians (given else-
where in our impression of this evening, with the
rest of the Correspondence relating to the presenta-
tion to him of the above-mentioned Testimonial,
observes most becomingly, " The only merit
I can claim, in conjunction with my col-
leagues in the Government, is that of having
expressed openly, constantly, and successfully, the
opinion that Italy should not be interfered with
in the great task which, to the immortal glory of
her sons, she undertook." And the noble lord
frankly adds, with a spontaneous recognition on
his part, as Foreign Secretary for England, of one
undoubted good service done to Italy by the French
Emperor (in direct violation, it ought to be remem-
bered, too, of the now vaunted system of Non-Inter -
vention)—" It has been her (that is Italy's) good
fortune that in the commencement of this work She
was aided by the powerful arwiet4 or the .4
the FRENCH. Her own fortitude, her own mode
ration, and her own patience have been conducive
