THE SUN.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1859

There is a story told, if we remember rightly, of
Winiam PITT, when Prime Minister of England.
It is to the effect, that when one of his constituents,
accompanied by his stripling son, waited one day
upon the great minister with a view to obtain his
patronage in favour of the boy, so as to afford him
at onto an advantageous start in life, the Right Hon.
Gentleman after listening apparently with con-
siderable interest to the application, and remaining
for a moment seemingly in deep thought when it
was finished, put to the father the inquiry--" Does
your son know Spanish 9" "No." " Ah,
that is unfortunate—for in the other event,
had he known Spanish, I might have—
However, it is no use talking about it now—the
deficiency presents an insuperable difficulty." And
so—after a few minutes' further converse upon
other subjects, the important interview is terminated
with no step gained in any way in advance—no
prospect even before the father of his son's eventu-
ally obtaining an appointment. . . . Eight or
ten months having elapsed after this trivial inci-
dent, the same ingenious place-hunters (one of them
sufficiently ingenu-ous)—arcades ambo— obtain a
second interview with Mr. PITT, still as long pre-
viously and long afterwards First Lord of the
Treasury. The countenances of father and son beam
with satisfaction. Mr. PITT is informed that the
youth has studied hard during the interval, and that
he knows Spanish, and knows it, moreover, very
creditably. "In that case," so runs and ends the
anecdote, "in that case," observes the Premier,
• striding to another part of his library, and return-
ing with a copy of Don Quixote, and -placing
• the work in the hands of the stripling, " in that
case, you will have peculiar enjoyment in reading
the masterpiece of CERVANTES—hI the original !"
The Right Honourable Gentleman the Leader
of Her MAJESTY'S Opposition, although none
.the less powerfully impressed in his own mind
with a conviction that knowledge is, indeed,
its own reward, has a less caustic way of
"enforcing the conviction of that wholesome truth
upon the judgments of the more youthful class of
aspirants. He speaks to them in terms fraught
with generous encouragement. He urges upon
them the belief that life is not a lottery, that life is

rather, it should be said, a science, that every man

has his opportunity, and that what they have
really and seriously to do is so to prepare them-
selves for the coming of that opportunity, that when
it does come (as come, says he, it inevitably
'via and must for the majority) they may
be capable of availing themselves of it.
So abounding with noble incentives to hope and to
exertiz.n in every sentence is this thoughtful and
impressive harangue of Mr. DISRAELI'S that we
• -would most earnestly commend the perusal of it
and the study of it, to the more youthful among the
energetic members of every mechanics' institute in
the land—certain that the advice it inculcates will
tend directly and practically to their advantage. It

will be found 'lra extenso in another part of our

pression of this evening—this important address
delivered by the member for Buckinghamshire as
chairman of a monster meeting in the Free-Trade
Hall, at Manchester. The meeting itself being
convened there on Tuesday for the distribution of
the prizes awarded by the Institutional Associa-
tion of Cheshire and Lancashire. And the address
itself being an apropos oration upon the kindred
themes of Mechanics' Institutes, of the prospects of
