theless they went orr until they triu
having triumphed, they ;went back to '
and their looms, and restaned the pu:
life, and with no more thought of con
longer in military life, or making an
encroachment upon their neighbours, thanXtheil s
had never handled a musket. That is the defensive
army which we require, and we ought, with the ut-
most vigour we can, to oppose and resist anfairempf
to give us an increased aggressive force. What we
want is that the people should be disciplined and
armed, and ready to come forth and fight, as the
Americans did, in their own cause, or in any cause
in which they feel a disinterested concern ; that it
should be for themselves, and not for others, that
they fight ; and that the highest place in that force
should be given, not to those who have bought it,
or who arc born to it, but to those who have shown
that they have gained it, and that they deserve it.

Mr. GOLDwIN SMITH, in his speech, alluded to
what might be expected from a reformed Parlia-
ment, and dwelt at considerable length on the bene-
fits university reform especially would confer upon
the nation.

A denial is given to a current rumour that the

foreign emissaries.

BRUSSELS, Feb. 4.

Mr. CIIEETILIM, M.P., in responding to the toast,
referred to the cabal now afloat in London for the
purpose of displacing Earl Russell and Mr. Glad-
stone from their positions as leaders of the Liberal
party. Ile expressed his conviction that the Liberal
party would not submit to any such intrigue, and
said that for his own part he would never follow the
lead of any titled nonentity, however distinguished
might be the name he bore.
Mr. T. B. PorrEn, M.P., proposed the toast,
" Political progress, the only safeguard of civil
liberty," coupling with it the names of Mr. Stuart
Mill, M.P., and Mr. Goldwin Smith.

Mr. J. STUART MILL, M.P., who was loudly
cheered, in responding to the toast, said—You have
done me the honour of associating my name with
the words political progress. It is with you—the
men of Lancashire—that that idea should be more
particularly connected. We of the south are accus-
tomed to look to you of the north, as invariably
leading the van, not only in the industrial progress,
not only in the commercial progress, but in the
political progress of this country. And, in doing so,
you have confirmed the idea that we have heard from
our childhood, which is admitted and even asserted
as a general principle, by Conservatives as well as
by Liberal thinkers, that manufacturing and com-
mercial populations are always the leaders on the
side of progress, and that agricultural populations,
and particularly an aristocracy of great landowners,
have a different function in the community—a func-
tion which is sometimes necessary, although it is
apt to be excessive—the Conservative function—
the function of keeping that which is good, and I
am afraid, sometimes that which is bad too.
(Cheers and laughter.) But to you it particu-
larly belongs—to the manufacturing and commer-
cial communities of the world, and to the manu-
facturing and commercial part of mixed commu-
nities—it belongs to you to take the pad ,in
improvement, both in ideas and in the application of
those ideas to practice. It is natural that it should
be so, because those who are constantly employed in
devising more and more new contrivances for making
the laws of nature applicable for the increase of na-
tional wealth and for attaining all the objects that
are pursued in the economical department of things,
with ever increasing facility, and those, a very
large proportion of whom are always men who have
made their own position and their own fortunes,
and who are always rising—a succession of them
rising from an inferior to a higher position—these
are the persons whose practice and whose course in
life naturally ought to make them, and very gene-
rally does make them, habitual improvers and re-
formers ; these are the antecedents which turn men's
minds to improvements in all departments of things,
as well as their own. I wish it were not unfortu-
nately to be said that, owing to the general infirmi-
ties of human nature, even these very men, after
they have once raised themselves, and after their
fortune is completely made—they and their descend-
ants very often cherish the rather low ambition of
passing over into the class of territorial men—
(cheers)—and from that time they would rather see
their influence employed on the Conservative side—
often wholesomely, sometimes not quite so whole-
somely—than on the side on which they have them-
selves made a position. (Cheers.) Still, however, it
is to this class that we must look in all great na-
tional movements for political improvement ; and it
is to them that we must look mainly for victory in
the great battle in which we are now engaged
against what remains of privilege in this country.
(Cheers.) The sentiment which has been given by
my friend Mr. Potter associates political progress
with civil liberty as being the sole condition of it ;
and I think no person who uses the smallest reflec-
tion can doubt that that is true, for our history and
our principles together combine in showing in the
first place, that the nation which is not going for-
ward always goes back, and the nation which is not
constantly employed in improving whatever it
has, both of material and also of spiritual
good which is not constantly engaged in
improving—gets into a state of stagnation and
mental indolence, the sure consequences of which is
decline. And we have declined in these things. We
have declined either in material prosperity, or in
mental and moral culture, and with that decline
comes necessarily, where a people has been free, the
gradual loss of liberty. Consequently, it is not to
be expected that any country should long retain its
liberty which is not engaged in political progress—.
which does not keep political progress constantly
going. But more than that, there is a point which
very specially demands and invites our attention at
this very moment, namely, the question how a coun-
try, in the new state of the world, is to protect not
only its liberty, but even its national independence
against foreign countries. Look at the armed hosts
which are rising up all over the world just now.
Look at the immense extent to which all the Govern-
ments of Europe—all the more powerful Govern-
ments—are devoting the whole of their resources,

We, with our small army—and I hope we never shall
have a larger—still cannot keep it up. We cannot
get recruits, because—and this is a point to which
all men's attention, I think, ought to be turned, as
being one of the most remarkable signs of the times
—the people of this country, and indeed of other
countries, but especially of this country, will nolonger
fight for a cause which is not their own. Men will not
be soldiers as a mere profession ; at least the number
is constantly diminishing of those who will hire
themselves out to shed the blood of others, when it
is not for their own protection and their own free-
dom and laws. But we have a noble example of
how a people can fight when it is for themselves,
for their own cause; when it is for their own
liberty, or for moral principles which they regard
equally with their liberty, in the late heroic and
glorious struggle of the United States. (Loud cheers.)
We have seen a million of men in arms for their own
freedom, but chiefly for the freedom of others, Chiefly
for the general cause of liberty—a million of men
in arms, and every family in the country almost had
some one of its members in that force—there is
scarcely a family in the Free States that is not now
in mourning in consequence of that war. Never-

Intelligence received here from Charleroi gives
the following account of the progress of the riots in
the mining districts :
It appears that the coal miners of Dampremy left
their pits on the morning of the 2d, and advanced
towards Marchienne. The day hands, being
threatened by the night shifts with having the ropes
cut if they went down, joined their comrades. The
point of attack was the steam mill. The strike had
suddenly changed its aspect, the iron workers hav-
ing given place to the colliers.
Among the crowd were to ba seen women and
children, who were not the least prominent adding
to the tumult. The men were, for the most part,
armed with sticks ; some of the women carried pitch-
forks. When this mob arrived at Marchienne,
swollen by those who joined with the intention of
taking part in the disorders, but also by many in-
quisitive persons, its number was estimated at about
2,000 individuals.

The mill of Marchienne was defended only by a
small detachment of 100 men of the 11th Regiment
of .the line. They were immediately assailed with
showers of stones by the crowd, which had taken up
its position upon the square facing the mill and the
brewery, and in the old cemetery surrounding the
church. Their numbers momentarily increasing,
the mill was soon surrounded upon all sides.
The small garrison supported the attack for seve-
ral hours with patient courage, but it was impos-
sible that such a state of things could last. The
rioters, encouraged by the apparent quiescence of
the troops, gave signs of an intention to storm
the mill, and the soldiers then received orders to
fire. Only a few drew trigger, but three of the
rioters were killed. For a few minutes great con-
fusion prevailed, but the assailants rallying, ad-
vanced again to the attack, and the garrison being
clearly too weak to oppose effectual resistance, it was
decided to save further bloodshed by evacuating the
mill. Two of the soldiers were hurt while leaving
—a sergeant badly in the head, and a private in the
hand. Eight gendarmes were among the garrison,
and seemed to be especially obnoxious to the rioters.
They were overwhelmed with stones, their uniforms
and faces covered with mud, and only succeeded in
saving their lives by hasty flight.
The garrison having withdrawn, the mill was at

once carried and completely sacked. The books
and papers belonging to the establishment were
thrown out of the counting-house windows, and
sacks of flour were carried away by men, women,
and children. Several were seen to make two or
three trips. The granaries of the mill and the
brewery were left untouched; the plunderers carried
off nothing but the flour.

The mill being cleared out, some of the most
desperate among the assailants set the building on
fire, but the flames were speedily extinguished by
others, who stove in the casks of beer in the brewery,
and poured their contents upon the blaze. It is
said that the strong-room of the establishment, in
which the journal and ledger, together with the
bank-notes and specie, were deposited, was broken
open and despoiled of its valuable contents, but no
confirmation of the rumour has yet been received.
After the pillage of the mill, further riot ceased.
No opposition was offered to the plunderers, who
continued carrying away the flour until no more
was left. The troops had been compelled to seek
shelter in the town. At half-past 1 p.m., 100 men
of the 11th Regiment, commanded by Major
Quenne, arrived at Marchienne, followed at three
by a battalion of the 3d Chasseurs from Mons.
Three other companies of the same regiment went
on to Charleroi, where one occupied the Hotel de
Ville, and the others returned to Marchienne. To-
wards ten in the evening two squadrons of Lancers
came in from Mons, and two squadrons of Chas-
seurs from Namur. Reports having been spread
that the mills of Charleroi and Chatelinean were

threatened with the fate of Marchienne, these
establishments were occupied by strong
bodies of troops. Intelligence received direct
from Marchienne, dated 4 p.m. on Sunday,
announced that no further disturbances had
taken place. Fresh detachments of infantry
and cavalry had arrived that morning at Charleroi.
The Governor of Hainault was at Marchienne.

ART IN IRONMONGERY.—NoIesson is more in-
structive than a visit to the warehouses and show-
rooms of some of the City trading firms. Take, for in-
stance, the furnishing ironmongery establishment of
Messrs. Benetfink and Co., of Cheapside. Their exposi-
tion of goods in metal-work is astonishing for its intrinsic
value, while the beauty in workman and design of most of
the articles exhibited awakens unbounded admiration.
Few persons reflect how much metal is employed in con-
ducing to domestic comfort and convenience; and it is
only by visiting such laden emporiums as the one under
review that a due conception can be gained of what is
owing to the workers at the forge, and the more cunning
craftsman at the crucible. A stroll through these noble
saloons in Cheapside shows us corridors filled with stoves
and fenders, from those of the plainest style to those
whose burnished surfaces would serve as mirrors, and
whose sensitiveness would reveal a sign of rust from a
lady's fingers. Overhead, in one of the rooms, are sus-
pended innumerable chandeliers, from a Quaker-like
simplicity to an ornateness of design fitting for an Oriental
palace. To those who need the luxury of rest, there are
scores of bedsteads in brass and iron to select from, many
very rich or ornamental details; papier mache trays, some
of which are real works of art, to delight the eye; while
a host of table-lamps stand up in emulation to court the
alluring sight; baths of every form and adaptability sug-
gest health and personal comfort. In the electro-plated
department a very wilderness of wealth and exquisite
workmanship enraptures the sight. As one passes over
the successive flcors of metallic merchandise witnessing the
multiplicity of articles, from a kitchen range to an iron
skewer ; from a Japan candlestick to an ormolu lamp, with
all the varieties of utensils for complete house furnishing,
the feeling of wonders and admiration yield to that of
thankfulness for the contrivance and manufacture of such
utilities, and one is induced to reflect bow much we owe to
the thoughtful skill and enterprise of snch firms as Benet-
fink and Co., who, while they are daily augmenting the
national commerce and wealth, are serving humanity as
civilisers and benefactors by placing such beautiful objects
within the mans of everybody.—Morning Post.

PAPERMAKERS.—The number of papermakers
in the United Kingdom is declining. In 186141-1 took out
licences ; in 1865, 402; in 1866, 392.
The Conference of Representatives from Bavaria,
Wurtemburg, Baden, and Hesse Darmstadt, which
is shortly to assemble at Stuttgart, was convoked by
the Bavarian Government in an identical note ad-
dressed to the other South German States, and
dated the 841 inst. This note lays down the Prus-
sian model as the basis for a new uniform military
general liability to
organisation, and proposes
mili-
tary service, the division of the army into regiments
of the line, reserves, and landsturm, and the sup-•
presion of the right of recruits to be replaced by
substitutes.
