American school The North might add lis
present experience to the lessons of its school
books with Infinite advantage The American
colonIsts were rebels" in the belief Of England
as the Southern citizens are rebels TO the
government of Washington. We thought eur
national interest and our national pride were
Involved IN suPpressing the revolt by arms We
were stItf-necked in the matter as people, and

We kept up the war for years, and wa are

Yet England had to yield ALL to acknowledge
the independence Of America, and TO let the
British crown sustain as it could the loss of ia

found that the jewel was not so much missed
that as for our material interests, they were
rather improved by the change that we gained

now look on the issue of the conflict with salts
faction But England then, unlike America
now, had few wise and moderate men who saw
the lmpoSsioIity OF conquering the rebellious
colonles, and cOurageously opposed the popular
elamor, toceSeeing the inevitable end.
Lord Chatham called on the House of Lords
" to instruct the Throne in the language of
truth, to which people might now listen with
advantage. 1t was one Of the worst periods of
the war cur Popes and our McClellans had
failed. The army was in a desperate condition.
That army" said Chatham, 'can schiOve anv-
thing bat impossibiiities; aud / know that the
conquest OF British Ameriea is an imp9ssibility !

Is your present situation there! We do not know
the worst but we DO know that 10 three cam
paIgns, we have done nothing and suffered I
much words that exactly describe the condi- |
ton of the North at the present moment. Our /
King, government and people had to yield to the 1
force Of circumstances. These say most dis /
tinetly to the Uniouists, you cannot couquer
the South. And the Americans will have TO .
obey their stern monitor, as We did before them. /
LORD PALdERsTON AT MELBOURNE.
On the 23th, Lord Palmerston presided at a
luncheon for the benefit of the fund for the re-
storstiOn Of Melbourne Parish church near Der
by. The event was the occasion of a grand
gala in the parish. His lordship, who was &C
by Lady Palmerston, the owner Of
the Melbourne estates, was enthusiastically re-
eelYed By the inhabitants, who presented his
Ordship with sn address, expressing approval of
his conduct a statesman, and hoping tAat he
might De long spared to give the benefit of his
wisdom and experience to our beloved sovereign
In the course of his reply. the noble lord said:
We have, in our intercourse with nations main
aimed properly the dignity, the honor, and the
lights of this country. We had lately oues-
lon with the United States of America, which
threatened at the outset to bring on an event
which we should have deeply deplored but that
question was settled in manner consistent with
he dignity of both parties, because while On the
me hand the American government grated
hat satisfaction which we demanded on the
'ther hand, they could not have refused that
abstraction without departing from those prin-
lples OF international intercourse which they
themselves had always maintained, aud eonsid-
red essential to their own interest as a nation !
Hear, hear, and cheers
There was, therefore, no triumph on either / !
ide. The only triumph was the triumph of
eace and justice, which each party was equally ]
Interested Ia maintaining. We Gaust all regret /
he calamities which thai unhappy war has pro-
uced, not only III the country III which It RACES, 7
ut IN many countries OF sarOpe which are de- ,
endent on America for the materials Of their !
omestic industry. In this country we know /.
hat large portion of our population are suf- !
7ung great privatiOns in consequence Of that r
niortunate war am not surprised that in q y
lace where industry hourishes, men should /
ave fellow feeling with those uuiortun2te 5
eople OF Lancashire who are suffering greatly
nder the privatOns of that article which is so 4
;senial to their domestic industry We trust s
nd hope that the law which Parliament passed n
Immediately before the Propagation, may mate 4
ally tend to mitigate and alleviate those suf-
rings. Applause V
We know, also, that there are persons in those
1unties who have profted greatly by the in p
1stry OF the population, aud who are contribu- h
ng, according to their means, generously in N
lpPort Of these suffering people. We only q
ust that these liberal subscriptions may be ap- Z
lied, not merely to relieve the wants of the pa .
nts, bat that they may also be applied, use r
ny and wisely, 70 enable the children of those a
" " cLlOy-kHOSo advantages OF "a
iucaton which are as important to the mind as =
nployment is to the body CCheers. We -
now that when parents are reduced to greet g,
stress they may not be enabled to afford those Il
eekly payments upon which the education of -
cir children depends, but we trust that those
no have the direction of these ample subscrip- =,
ms will bear in mind, as well as the wants of
parents themselves. [Great cheering II
LORD BR oUsHAM CoUNsELs NEUTRALITY N
Lord Brou CHAM, in speech at Wigton, Cum ,I u
rlapd, referred as follows to the question of -
edistion u
" have heard people of late unwisely recon- y
end that that civil war should be put stop to 70 70
: our taking part, so far as to recognize one ~
the contending parties. l think that in recog- -
zing the South in that odious and horrible u
lsIrel would only make the thing worse and

Hear, hear. Absolute neutrality, non-inter-
