to them all. They had seen within their 011timb a S
vast increase of the wealth of their country, due,
no doubt, in part to the general confidence. in the
administration of the law, and in the character and
spirit of the law, which had gained ground anon g
the people from year to year, but due also partly to
that series of changes which had struck away the:
manacles from the arm of industry, and set capital
and enterprise free. But it was not alone in the
increase of material wealth that they had reaped
their reward. They had had to enter upon periods
of suffering. (Hear.) They now saw a large por-
tion of their population ground down almost to
the earth by no fault of theirs, and by causes for
which they were not responsible. (Hear, hear.)
They saw men who were scrupulous about the
toth
acceptance of relief, although they seemed

disaffection, and he knew nothingg more consolatory
or more hopeful than that spectacle in regard to
the future of England. (Cheers.) He trusted that
with this experience of the working of their insti-
tutions they would remain faithful to the traditions
they had received, and that, whether the present or
any other ministry should be in office, they would
steadily endeavour to improve the laws and enlarge
the liberties of the country, confident that in 4'so
doing they would be advancing not only the inte-
rests of freedom but also the cause of order and of
human happiness in the highest sense. (Cheers.)
And further, he would venture to express a hope
that while respectful to other nations they would
think themselves justified in viewing with sym..
pathy the cause of order and regulated freedom over
the whole surface of the earth; and that when they
saw a country, as they had lately seen the Italian
peninsula, rising from along period of degradation,
oppression, and division, due not to themselves but
to those who had forced upon them those evils,
and showing its capacity for the exercise of free-
dom, there would rise from the breast of every
Englishman a fervent prayer that in that case the
cause of freedom might be blessed. (Cheers.) He
thought that no greater services had been rendered of
late to the cause of freedom than those which had
been contributed to it during the last three or
four years by the Italian people. (Cheers.) They
had seen a nation with every temptation to excess
exhibiting a degree of self-control which would
have done honour to a people in the enjoyment
of the oldest liberties. The noble lord at the head
of the Government had been one of the warmest
and fastest friends of Italian freedom, even in its
earliest infancy. (Cheers.) He had seen it rise
gradually from infancy to manhood, and ho now
beheld it, not a source of danger and convulsion to
Europe, but one of the mainstays of order and civi-
lisation. (Cheers.) He would conclude by expres-
sing a hope that the Government of this country,
whatever might be its composition, would always
contribute to the cause of human liberty and pro-
gress. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN next gave " The United States of
America."
The Hon. C. F. ADAMS, American Minister, briefly
returned thanks.
