THE SUN.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1858.

The social reunions in which Right Honourable

end Honourable Gentlemen meet their constituents

during the Parliamentary recess, and in which they
either render accounts of their respective steward-
ships, or enlighten the public mind as to the legisla-
tion looming in the future, are always matters, not
merely of local but of general interest. They are
so many safety-valves established to allow the
escape of any great political excitement. They also
indicate the state of public opinion, and enable
Ministers to consider in due time matters that
must inevitably be brought forward from some side
of the House during the ensuing session.
Many of these societies have standing rules
against the introduction of political topics ; but
they are merely cobwebs to restrain the small fry.
Whenever a political celebrity is in attendance,
the regulations are considered " more honoured
in the breach than in the observance ;" and
whether the guest or visitor pleases, with
cheerful audacity, a la ROEBUCK, to set them
at absolute defiance,' or to apologise for their in-
fringement, their violation is invariably hailed with
rapturous enthusiasm. Perhaps the mere fact that
it is a forbidden pleasure which they are enjoying
renders it all the sweeter. This -is more particu-
larly the case when a Minister is caught, and still
more so if one of the Cabinet appears before them.
Notwithstanding the proverbial caution of such
persons, some revelations ooze forth, and perhaps,

occasionally " feelers " are thown out in order to
test the state of public opinion. Few great politi-
cal movements have occurred without such "feelers,"
and they are, therefore, the more anxiously looked
for.

The Oxfordshire and Banbury Agricultural
Meeting had one of these gatherings yesterday, at
which not only were there several members of
both Houses, but also the President of the Board of
Trade, ..one who "must have been well aware of the

Ministerial intentions. Mr. HENLEY, however,
was clearly not dispesed to throw out " feelers."
His difficulty was of a totally different description.
It was to disclose as little as possible, although
rather strongly pressed. Of course, the compara-
tively " empty workhouses and empty gaols" were
topics of congratulation that could not be disre
garded.

These arc " great facts" that should

induce every man, qualified by position or talent,
to interfere in the legislation of the country, to
look to the causes that produce such felicitous
results. Why arc the prisons and workhouses
empty ? Why has the man able and willing to
work refrained from seeking parochial relief ?
Why has the hand of the pickpocket tutored,
perhaps, in the Thieves' Kitchen," forgot its
cunning ? Simply, because a livelihood, rude and
humble it may be, but still:a livelihood, may be
obtained by honest industry. Money is now
cheap. There is a sufficient circulating mediutni-t-
-the very life-blood of industry—a fair day's wages
can be obtained for a fair day's work, and there are
comparatively few paupers—comparatively few
thieves. These are facts that should stimulate the
currency reformers, and induce them to persevere
in the useful agitation that may ere long lead to
great results. It is a great :matter to know that
" our humble brethren are well employed, and
have the means of comfortable subsistence." It
might always be so if the nation eschewed the
vicious theories, of the currency quacks.

Mr. HENLEY had abundant grounds for congra_
tulating his audience, as well as the community at
large, on the satisfactoty conclusion of the war with
China. Although the full details of the Treaty
have not as yet come to hand, it is certain that we
have obtained concessions which the most sanguine
person could scarcely have anticipated, and which
may open up a new world, thickly inhabited, to
British enterprise. Mr. HENLEY alluded to
the fact that a fourth part of the naval force
of the country, now employed 15,000 or 16,000
miles away, will be enabled to return, and " en-
gaged nearer home, ready for any emergency..
These are significant expressions. They show that
Government is resolved to maintain our Channel
fleet in full force. Without feeling either jealousy
or fear of any Power whatsoever, with
i out suppos-
ing that the completion of Cherbourg indicates any
intention on the part of the French Government to
pick a quarrel, we feel, as we always have felt,
that it would. be a false and spurious economy
that would relinquish the smallest portion
of our maritime supremacy, or permit the
slightest breach in " the wooden walls" that have
s long protected the nation against every foe.
Mr. HENLEY has also explained, although the
explanation is couched in very diplomatic terms,
that a Reform Bill will be introduced next session.
