MR. GRANT DUFF AT ELGIN:

Mr. Grant Duff delivered his annual address at Elgin
on Wednesday evening. Eleven years ago the consti-
tuency returned him to Parliament. " Those eleven years
had been filled with momentous events, and would occupy
a far greater space on the canvas of history than many
a placid and unfruitful century. Eleven years aL o
Italy was still groaning under the dukes and thu
Bourbons. Spain had just stepped back into the posi-
tion she occupied before the Liberal movement of 1854.
Serfdom still lay like a black cloud over European Russia,
and men were still speculating timidly and doubtfully as
to the possible abolition of slavery at some far-off and
millennial period in the United States of North America.
The Germanic Diet still droned on at Frankfort,
weaving one Thursday, to unweave the next, its ever-
lasting Penelope's web. Hungary was still brooding
in gloomy isolation over the blood of 1849 and the
heaped-up wrongs of generations; while Austria, crushed
by the combined weight of military and priestly despotism,
was still, in the words of her great political poet, asking with
bated breath ' the freedom to be free.' These were but a few
of the ancient injustices and venerable impositions which
the year 1857 left still standing when he breathed his last,
and of which we might now happily say, Gone is
gone, dead is dead.' Great changes had occurred in
this country also, but they had rather been changes in
public opinion, ominous of future legislative change, than
changes recognised and perfected through the parlia-
mentary agency by which this nation set its seal to
the changes for which it had become prepared." With a
reference to the Reform question, which he was glad
to say was so far settled, Mr. Duff passed to
a personal criticism of Mr. Bright. He alluded to tl.e
alteration of the position of that gentleman. For many
years he had stood in very peculiar relations to suc-
cessive Liberal Governments ; sometimes he had been a
buttress, sometimes a battering ram. He had generally
been more important than any three ordinary Cabinet
Ministers, but his place had always been apart, and his
support dependent on Ministerial good behaviour. We had
been accustomed to think that our great tribune would
rather lower himself by taking office. Now, however, the
situation was changed ; we could not think what a post-
Niagara Liberal Cabinet would be without Mr. Bright,
and one could not help seeing from a certain alteration in
his way of putting things that the shadows of coming Minis-
terial responsibility were falling athwat t his mind. Doubters
told us that he would injure his reputation— that he
was no administrator. He was not an administrator, of
that eminently respectable class who came and went
without much comment. He was a statesman. It was
the first characteristic of a statesman to have a faculty of
being right in great matters, and had not Mr. Bright been
right about most of those things as to which nearlyall of the
so-called eminent heads were for years hopelessly wrong—
right about free trade, right about America, and right about
Reform? Among all the sayings and inditings of our official
statesmen since 1832, excepting, perhaps, those of Sir
George Lewis, what was there to compare with the two
volumes of speeches by Mr. Bright, and the two volumes
of pamphlets by Mr. Cobden? Mr. Bright, for instance,
had been right on the question of the Irish Church. On
the educational question, Mr. Duff remarked that he
wished the English universities to be made more like the
Scotch, in the way of being free, than they were at present.
Passing to the expenditure, Mr. Grant Duff declared that
what we now wanted was to bring into power, and keep
in power, Ministers with whom economy was a paramount
consideration. The Civil Service Estimates, although
they required watching, were not seriously to be complained
of. It was the fearful expense of the so-called great
services—the army and navy—which, in the words of
the poet, made the Titan stagger under " the too vast
orb of his fate." Was this expense to go on for,.
ever? If not, then some one must take the initiative in
bringing about a change ; and it was this country, which
feared nobody and menaced nobody, that must take the
first step. If once Europe saw that France and England
lead seriously entered upon a reduction of armaments,
a proposal for a Congress to discuss the amount of
force which each State should keep up would meet
with few difficulties. He advocated partial disarmament,
very strongly. We must reduce the expenses of our colo-
nial army. Take the case of the Australian colonies.
We kept there, for purely colonial purposes, three British
regiments ; partly at our expense, partly at that of the
'colonies. Why did 'we do this ? What enemy did we
hear? Or did we desire to retain our connection with
them an hour longer than they wished to retain their
connection with us? He trusted the time would soon come
when we should only keep garrisons in those smaller de-
pendencies which we held rather as points of vantage and
stepping-stones across the great oceanic spaces than as colo-
nies in the ordinary sense of the term. He had always
thought that the question of army reform would obtain a
more direct impetus than any other from the enlarge-
ment of the constituencies. He sincerely hoped that it
was so, and nothing would give him greater pleasure
than to find that soldiers' grievances were beginning to be
forced on the consideration of candidates and members.
We must change the present system in the army, so that it
should be " neither more aristocratic nor democratic than
any other part of society." Purchase must be abolished.
As to our foreign policy, he was a friendto non-intervention,
properly understood, but maintained that non-intervention
was but half our lesson, and that international co-operation
was the other half of it. With increasing knowledge of foreign
affairs would come an increased disinclination to hamper
ourselves with entangling alliances, or to allow our policy
to be guided by feeling and enthusiasm, however gene-
rous. Long before our policy had become thoroughly
pervaded by an international spirit, the more candid of
our foreign critics would see the direction things were
taking—that Albion could no longer be called perfidious,
even by her bitterest enemies. lie detestee!, what had been
well called the "bloody meddlesomeness of those days
when the natural impulse of a man of spirit was to go, as
the old song had it, "to light the foreign loons in their
ain countree." He should like to see the Foreign Office
and the two services which depended upon it—
the diplomatic and the consular—used every day more
and more as an instrument for receiving all the informa-
tion that could be obtained with regard to the state of
foreign countries, and reflecting the knowledge so acquired
in a broad and steady light all over the United Kingdom.
Unquestionably our Foreign Office had done of late years
much more in this way than it used to do, but he was con-
fident that greater encouragement might stimulate our
existing consular and diplomat 49, w,yAnts to greater

Yesterday Mr. GLADSTONE was most indefatig-
able, and addressed two meetings, the one at Orals-
kirk and the other at Southport. At the former
he alluded to matters relating to agricultural inte-
rests as they related to the objects which are of
importance to that part of the constituency. After
discussing free-trade and county rates, he pro-
ceeded to dwell on other subjects. The right hon.
gentleman hardly spoke in so confident a style as
usual, and seemed indeed to parry the arguments
of his opponents rather than to put forward any
notions of his own. He sought to extricate him-
self from the difficulty he was in by saying that
his proposal of disestablishment would not inter-
fere with the English Church, and even if it did
that knowledge would Jlot deter him from rendering
justice to Ireland. This is plain, at all events,
though it is questionable policy, and the right hon.
gentleman's tact to say so, because it increases the
strongest argument of his opponents that he has
began a policy which will end in uprooting the
cherished institutions of the land. Mr. GLADSTONE
deserves credit for one thing, at all events, in this
speech, and that is he was more moderate in his
tone than on some recent occasions. lie congra-
tulated himself and his hearers on this, and de-
clared that he had not appealed to his understand-
ing. One thing is especially to be noticed in all
his speeches, and that is Mr. GLADSTONE
and his immediate followers begrudge to
their political opponents the privilege of
discussing the state of Ireland. If they admit
that that country has any cause of complaint or
any grievances, astonishment is expressed and in-
credulity exhibited. Thus Mr. GLADSTONE sneers
at Mr. CROSS'S assertion that the Government of
Ireland had been a great mistake for years and
years. The fact is, that it spoils the case for
the Opposition speakers, in a great measure, if they
cannot turn about and proclaim the total indiffer-
ence of the Ministerialist party to the question of
Irish wrongs, and hence their wrath at the idea of
any one arguing with them as to the evils com-
plained of if they do not also consider on the best
means to remedy the defects.
In the evening Mr. GLADSTONE returned to the
subject of finance, and made a little diversion on

the hackneyed theme by expressing his belief that
correspondence had begun again between Mr. Cno ss
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but that they
were unwilling to publish the results of it. This is
an ingenious supposition, which most likely begins
and ends in the imagination of the speaker. After
stating that the reason why the Opposition did not
do anything of a direct character to decrease the
expenditure was that it would have necessitated the
removal of the Administration, Mr. GLADSTONE
condescended to approve of Lord STANLEY'S admi-
nistration of Foreign Affairs, though too much
praise was given to that, in his opionion, for elec-

tioneering purposes. The right honourable
gentleman declared that he and his friends
wished to exclude from their debates all con-
siderations of theological questions, but how
they can do so he did not succeed in showing, for
he forthwith plunged into the most dangerous topics
himself, and wound up his remarks by asserting

he thinks he has done them good service. A minor
service which he has done them has been in assisting
the bill for the prevention of the piracy of trade
marks, from which the manufacturers of Shef-
field suffer severely. On the subject of
temperance bills, permissive bills, &c., Mr.
ROEBUCK speaks with his usual common sense.
Ile thinks that any attempt at moral coercion does
more harm than good, and while he is anxious to
diminish drunkenness he refuses to sanction such
methods of doing so.

A gentleman present having put a question with
respect to the American civil war, Mr. ROEBUCK
answered after his usual fashion plainly enough.
The truth and soundness of his views on this great
question will yet be acknowledged when the poli-
tical fashion of the day has passed by. The United
States, Mr. ROEBUCK declares, are too large to be
governed from one point, and their division into
two Republics would have been a blessing to them-
selves and an advantage to the world. America
herself had recognised the rebellion of Hungary
against Austria ? Why then should we not
have recognised the rebellion of the South
against the North? Mr. ROEBUCK told a striking
anecdote in reference to this question. He made a
speech at Sheffield during the war asking that we
should recognise the Southern States as indepen-

The fault of excessive length, which proved
somewhat injurious to " Monte Cristo" on the
night of its production,
j has been promptly re-
medied by extensive and judicious pruning, giving
compactness and vigour
i to the piece, and
thereby vastly increasing its interest and effec-
tiveness as a popular play. The audiences
of the subsequent evening's have cordially
demonstrated their satisfaction ; and hailed with
delight the excellent acting of Pechter and Webster,
who are peculiarly at home in their respective parts,
and are admirably seconded by Mrs. Mellon and
Miss Leclercq. ig Monte Cristo "is now, in its im-
proved gui3e, a powerful and picturesque drama,
acted to perfection, splendidly mounted, and illus-
trated with exquisite scenery. Late corners will
miss the enjoyment of a signal triumph of scenic
art by Hawes Craven—the view of the city and
harbour of Marseilles—which is disclosed at the
rising of the curtaiu for the first act.

dent. A day or two after he had to wait on Lord
PALMERSTON, and when he got into his room Lord
PALMERSTON turned round ald put out his hands,
saying " ROEBUCK, ROEBUCK, what a devilish gcnd

Orders by post punctually attended to.

The prisoner had been employed on board ship
delivering rice in the dock. A constable named
Stocks found 2lbs. of rice concealed about his per-
son. He said the mate of the Coringo, a rice ship,
had given it to him, and that he intended it for his
fowls. Ho afterwards said he picked up the rice
on the South Quay. The rice was quite clean, and
on being compared with a sample of rice taken
from the Coringo, corresponded exactly.
Mr. George Henry Smith, a furniture broker,
said that he employed the prisoner for sixteen
months, and that he found him to be a very honest
and steady man. He was sure the prisoner did not
take the rice with a felonious intent.

fthat all experience and all knowledge showed that
the Irish people were not favourable to the British
Throne and Government. The concluding obser-
vations of the right hon. gentleman were all di-
rected to one object, to prove that Fenianism is not
a plant of foreign growth. We have no doubt that
the sophistry of Mr. GLADSTONE'S mind will readily

Mr. Paget said he was compelled to repeat what
he had often expressed, that no cases were so pain-
ful to him as these. The property taken from the
prisoner was said to be worth three halfpence, and
men would risk their liberty and reputation for
such wretched, petty pilfering. Men had been
almost daily brought before him charged with
stealing a few ounces of tea or sugar or some
other article in the docks, where all kinds of
merchandise was necessarily exposed, and he
was compelled to order them to be punished by
imprisonment and hard labour, and they lost
their situations, their liberty and character, their
families were reduced to misery and destitution.
lle sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprison-
ment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of
the rice.
