Speech OF the Earl of Derby.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The speech Of the
| Earl of Derby at the Lord Mayors BAN
| quetin London, already referred to by tele-
graph, contained the following with regard
to that great country, our national friend,
or relation, l may call it, that great Repub-
lie across the Atlantic: The storm ofwar
has ceased there, but the surface, nay, l
may say the interior of society, is still
ruffled and agitated. Yet cannot but be-
lieve that that great and powerful nation,
which has made such glorious efforts for
the purpose of keeping down the burden
of debt which that war has entailed on it,
which is making such superhuman efforts
to recover its financial position, cannot
but believe that a country so deeply in
terested i'm the science of self-government
| will, and speedily, know how to compose
the agitation which at present prevails,and
| exhibit to the world at no distant period
the gratifying prospect of great, proud
and q prosperous community; aud, may
be permitted to say, that If in the course of
that dreadful war which has so long
devastated that county, any questions
may have arisen between that and
our country, which have produced the
slightest amount of unpleasant feeling, l
have a confident expectation that the two
governments, approaching these questions
| in a spirit of mutual fOrbearance and kind
concliation, will arrive at such a solution
of these questions as not only to remove
all remnants of bitterness, but place on a
better foundation than ever our relations
with that great country, to which we are
bound by so many ties OF interest and re-
gard.
