HAT EVER VISITED LIVERPOOL.
On Friday morning the largest vessel ever seen in
Liverpool entered the Mersey
twin New York. She is
called the Ocean Monarch:capn Pace,
and was built
by Mr. Webb, of New York, She is 255 ft. in length, 461 t.
in breadth, and 30ft. deep in the hold. She is 2,146
tons register, and can easily accommodate 900 gars. She is intended for the Liverpool and New York
passen-
trade. She brought from New York 105,000 bushels of
wheat and 200 tons of other cargo ; her draught of water
being only 23 feet.

Yesterday, at noon, a very densely crowded meeting was
held in the Sheffield Town-hall, for the purpose of hearing
aldresses from the borough members, 111,ssrs. Roebuck
an I Hadfield. The latter gentleman having first addressed
the assembly,
Mr. ROEBaCK, who was received with great applause,
said—Mr. Mayor, I have to-return you and all present my
best i hanks for the resolution you have passed. I have also
to explain in a very few words how I am here, and why I
am here. I was asked by Mr. Hadfield's committee to at.
tend him upon the performance of his duty, as he consi-
ders it, to the constituency of this town. I had no hesi-
tation, and at once acceded to the request. I did so upon
these grounds. You all of you know that Providence had
inflicted upon me a great want of health—great disease.
During that time in which I was so suffering, I had, in
fact, your kind permission to abstain from place in Par-
liament. (Hear.) For that permission I am, and ever
shall be, extremely grateful. But my hon. colleague did
his utmost to relieve me, and to soften the groat calamity
that fell upon me. For that I owe him my best thanks,
and lam here publicly to express them. I thought this a
proper and graceful opportunity afforded me of so doing,
and therefore lam here. Deriving all these advantages
from my hon. colleague, yet still there are points upon
which he and I differ. But I am happy that we are in that
state of mind that we, believing honest differences exist
between us, agree to differ. (Hear.) But if we differ upon
some points, we agree in many more—(hear)—and therefore
I will now dwell upon the points of difference. I have two
reasons for so doing. The first is, if I were to go over the
points of agreement I should occupy you until night. Bat
as the points of difference are few, I can allude to them,
and explain my own views in a very few minutes. And
as I very much admire brevity, I shall take that course on
the present occasion. But there is another reason, sir, and
it is this—Mr. Hadfield frankly and fairly announces his
opinions ; be does it is the face of this groat meeting. If
I were to sit silent and acquiesce in that statement, I might
be supposed to be of his opinion. Now, as I hold tke mat-
ter to be one of very, very great importance, as you have
allowed him to explain his views, I hope you will permit me
to explain mine. (Hear.) If he will pardon me for so says
ing, I think he has made a mistake in his conception of the
word non-interference. I will explain my view of non-
interference, for I am for non-interference for England.
I don't want her to be eternally meddling in the quarrels
of Europe. I want her to consider her own interests ; for
these interests happen to be the interests of mankind. But
she has a mighty power to wield, and a great destiny to
fulfil. She cannot move without the world feeling that
she moves. If she moves in error, woe to mankind ;if she
moves in the right path, glory be to her, and happiness to
the people which constitutes her whole population. I be-
lieve we ought not to interfere in the internal affairs of
other nations ; but while we abstain we must see that no-
body else does so interfere. I beg of you to remember that
we are at the head of the great liberal party of the world.
Despots banded together may oppress humanity, and there-
fore we have the duty to see that humanity is not oppressed.
Therefore I say, that England should, if she can, ally her-
self against the despots of Europe—against the despotisms
which oppress humanity. I will illustrate this. You saw
the Hungarians rise up against that monster despotism of
Austria—you saw a gallant people making a gallant fight.
You saw that people conquering the Austrians, but you
saw that other fearful despotism of Europe and of the
world Russia—march in her hired hordes, and put down
that gallant people. Whore was England then ? (Loud
cheers.) She stood by and saw the iron heel of despotism
crushing out the heart of that people. I say, if we had
stood by and had seen the iron heel of Russia put upon
Turkey, that I think we should have reiterated the fault we
committed when we allowed Hungary to be put down. I
sided on that occasion with the wise, and, as I believed, in
the benevolent object of putting our hand upon the mane
of the great bear of Europe. No, I made a mistake zoologi-
cally—a bear has no mane ; but we put our hand on its
neck. (Cheers.) in siding with that object, I believed I
was endeavouring to make England fulfil her great destiny.
And, just as I mourned over the gallant Hungarians—and
I must say the gallant Austrians too—and as I should have
mourned over the Piedmontese if they had been oppressed
by the Austrians—as I should mourn over the Belgians if
they were oppressed by France—so I should have mourned
if Turkey had been oppressed by Russia. It was, then, in
furtherance of this great principle of non-interference, not
the non-interference of England alone, but of everybody
else. (Cheers.) Austria, Russia, and Prussia can, if'they
please, unite; and shall England stand by and see them
swallow up, bit by bit, every particle of freedom in Europe?
Is that her duty ? That is not my idea of what her duty is.
(Cheers.) I know that there is a part—a portion of man-
kind who believe that the only religion upon the earth is
the worship of the almighty dollar. (Cheers.) I do not. I
am not of that opinion. I believe that, for the good of man-
kind, good men ought to unite when bad men combine.
Therefore, I say, I united with that party which pro-
claimed war with Russia. I was in the House of Com-
mons upon that solemn occasion when the message of the
Queen was brought down to us in the house, which told us
that we were at war with Russia. I felt great sorrow—
fur war, as my hon. friend has said, is a great calamity to
mankind. I felt great sorrow that there was any man
amongst the millions on the earth who could fur soeue p.sl-
- petty object, inflict that great calamity upon the rest
of the world. For, mark you, the Duke of Wellington
well said, " England can wage no little war." We are a
great nation, and the moment we declared war against Rus-
sia we roused Europe at once. Europe felt all the calamitie
of war, but for that we were not to blame. It was the Rus-
sian despot—not us. But if we, upon the suggestion of my
hon. friend, had stood cowering by and had seen the
hordes of the Russian despot marched across the Pruth—
if we had merely entered our "solemn protest" upon that
occasion—not the protest backed by bayonets and guns,
but in the empty form of diplomacy—I think we should
have placed England in a disgraceful position. We should
have disgraced her in the eyes of the world. I should hove
disgraced myself if I had acted on that opinion of non-in-
terference, and I believe you coincided with me. (Cheers.)
Such, then, was my view of the Russian war, Now, I
will state to you my views upon this Neapolitan interfer-
ence. I think we are militating against our own rule in
this matter, in interfering between a people and its sove-
