road, and thereby stopped the runaway horses. The
coachman was thrown from his box by the concus

Mr.. Bright, M. r., on the United States and the
European War-Rev0luI1Onary Progress
and MDnarchical Depression.
From the London Chronicle. Dec. IL.
On Friday evening meeting was held in room
Of Messrs. w. Eckroyd and Sons new mill, Lom-
beshayes, Marsden, near Colne, to promote the in
terests of the Marsden Mechanics Institute. There
was large attendance of working men, and the
principal residents in the neighborhood, together
with many ladies, were present.
Mr.. BRIGHT, M. p, addressed the assemblage. In
the course Of his remarks, he said:-But there
two or three facts which were SO important that if
they could be fixed in the minds of the people, he
believed there would be more interest taken in
matters OF foreign policy. Look at the United
States. Their inhabitants were the same people
as ourselves; the population was about equal to ours
at the next census it would probably be little
more. They had large manufactures, although not
so large as ours they had a greater tonnage of
merchant ships he believed, than we had-twicc,
or perhaps three times, as many newspapers-and
had vastly more miles of railway-ther rivers were
fraversed by gigantic steambOats-and the country
presented altogether picture Of life, activity and
energy, such as had never before been witnessed
on the face of the earth. America had at this mo-
mcnt certainly not more than one, il any, line
Ot.battle ship afoat; she had two or three
fIigatcs; and there were 10000 or 10000 sol
dicrs in the country as the nucleus of All
army These were her materials for offence and do
fence. Yet nobody thought of insulting the United
States. An American was as free from violence any
where abroad as an Englishman; and it was by no
means certain that he was not much the more sure
Of redress If insult or violence was used. There was
no people to whom greater attention was paid any
where in Europe than was paid to Americans. But
the policy Of the United States was one Of never
meddling with any of the wars or quarrels Of Eu-
rope 1t legacy of their great and illustrious
Chief that they should keep themselves free from all
the entangements Of foreign policy in that respect;
and almost entirely they had done so. We had
taken exactly the opposite course. Look at the
condition Of the two countries. America had no
tiOnal debt whatever; we had an enormous one. PEG
pie could not count it; and if anybody pronounced
the amount nobody could understand It. 1t was
called eight hundred millions sterling, and no
could tell or conceive what those words represented
But at any rate we knew this: it would take nearly
100 years rental of all the land, houses and build
ings Of every description of valuable property, in
Lancashire and Yorkshire, to make that sum. If
everything paid rent, valuable rent, in these
two countries, with three and quarter millions OF po
pulaton, were absorbed for 100 years. it would about
they had SO much money this year from their
revenue, that they did not know what to do
with it, and were likely to quarrel because they
could not agree what tax should be taken of next.
Their national debt was only half paid Oft was
never large; ours was not only not being paid of,
but was rapidly increasing. Each State had its
own taxation for its own government expenses; and
then there was the general taxation for the expenses
OF the general government Taking all these toge
fher, he supposed they would not amount to more
than twelve millions year, but say fifteen millions.
This year, in this country, with no more population
than theirs-ours being not nearly so we'll of, and
they not having tenth part Of our pauperism, ig-
norance and crime; he would shut out from consd-
Grafton that unfortunate and horrible blot upon their
system-not upon their SYSTEM for it was rather an
accident OF the pas-slavery; but with this compa-
rative state of things, they had raised not more than
twelve or fifteen millions sterling, and this country
would cxpend in all proba biity nearly one hundred
millions. There would be the fifty or ftyfour mil
lions for ordinary expenditure and adding the ex.
pendtuIe Of the war, he had not the smallest doubt
that this country wonld actually expend this year
eighty millions sterling the sum which the peo-
pie Of the United States would expend: They. knew
the process Of waiting before race and what chance
man had in running with another, il he had to
take sack of -four upon his back. A very little
difference in the weight made wonderful difference
in the endurance of the man or the horse. He
would ask any rational man, let his sentiments
be what they might about the Russian and the Turk,
sis it possible that these two countries can 90 on-one

ulture, ana the OCner almost enClrely Tree from 1t

with the United States 2" If we could conceive 60
ing on for ten years, it would exhaust sum that
would appear equal to reducing this country, to
great extent to actual beggary; while America was
continually ascending in the scale of prosperity.
And yet people told us that the interests Of England
were concerned In the East! Why, our interest, as
far as regarded supremacy whether the sea or in
more engaged in what was now taking place in the
West to which our statesmen and people did not seem
at all to turn their attention. Clear, hear) There
was no writing it out or taking it away. Bombas-
tic articles in newspapers, the speeches of

1t would please the farmers because corn was high
