Examiner hopes that its subscribers will pardon it for noticing these phenomena, and we hope so too, although, we for our own parts should scarcely feel justi- fied indulging in such a fond expectation, were we in Its place. It cannot now he alleged that trade and commerce necessarilly extin- guish the imaginative faculty, or that poetical flights are incompatible with cottou bales and hogsheads of sugar. For ourselves, we look upon the Premier's visit to this great emporium of British manufac- j ture as an interesting social fact, and nothing more. The better d iss of great men arc those who not only possess great talents and com- man ling abilities, but who also apply them to practical purposes. Something more is re- quired to sueece-fully conduct the affairs of a h h f' 1- oreat empire than the power of matins orations in the Home of Commons, and rounding fluent phras s and su^t :.ees. Our statesmen s houl l be practically acquainted with the wants and necessities of our great trailing cities, and this knowledge is not to be obtained in Down- ing Burke with all his oratory never carried one sin-rle measure to benefit the nation whose require- ments ha so eloquently pointed out and stated whilst Joseph Iiume, who could scarcely return thanks properly in an after dinner speech, was really at the bottom of most of tlio-« measures of Reform, which have })dl carricd during'the past 30 years. They were both great men and of whom their country is justly proud; but their rreatness was very dissimilar—one consisted in theory, whilst the other's was practical. At the present moment there are, strictly speaking, no political p:n ties in England, be- cause those questions which really divide men nd make them antagonistic, have been settled. There are factions seeking for phice and power, and political cotciies, and crotchetty sections of individual;, but no party. Where i- the Englishman who now believes in the divine right" of Kings, or who does not • ."ofess that our institutions should be improved with the progressive civilization and the ascer- tained exigencies of the nge? They day differ and do differ as to the precise reineuy to be adopted, or the evil to be redressed, but they agree in fundamental principles. Such being the case, the attention of our statesmen ia I directed to the social condition of the people, and to frame measures calculated to ameliorate and improve that condition. In short, we have nothing left us to do but to carry out and put in practice those great principlessthe soundness of which is uneversally acknowledged iu this country, and for which osi r fathers com bat ted and even bled. Domestic legislation, after all, is the touchstone by which the- eilioeney of modern st '.esinen is tried, and the rock upon which have all, or nearly alt, have foundered. What wonder, then, if Lord Pahnerston, know- ing this, should seek to extend this knowledge, in this niatte r v.hleh in thia matter ? po\vcr, by for once leaving the precincts of St. Stephens, and visit- ing the busy haunts of the industrial districts of Lincashire ? Lord Palmerston's enemies, and they are somewhat numerous we admit, cannot deny I   uf b -a l J 3 L-,ii d him he merit of bcm? pmdica Jaunty and Oil' hand as he is said to be, he never shirks work, and, what is of. importance, he will not permit idleness in others. He will have 110 lazy nags in his parliamentary tøaiU- lie its leader. It is weil known that a number of measures of a social cli.,iracter;tre now un- der the serious consideration of government, and also that extraordinary care is beiiii, to perfect their details. It ia also known that on Monday next, a cabinet council will beheld at which, doubtless, most of these measures wiil be critically scanned. Is it not possible that Lord Pnhnerston's visit to Manchester may have relation to one or more of these measures, the principles and details of which will then to be agreed upon '? This hypothesis may be groundless but it is quita as reason- able as to suppose that his Loadship's visit is indicative of his desire to coquette with Mr. Bright and the Manchester school, the former of which is a perj^n.d as veil as a political ad- versary. This would be directly opposed to I his Lordship s antecendentB, and we uirty add, I" I ortune, through life, his enemies have in the long run been obliged to come over to him- and not iie to them.

MINING. THE IRON TRADE. The irod trade of South Staffordshire is ill any- I thing but a favourable state. And though bar iron, remains at the nominal pr-ce of JLIJ pur ton, thure are Hot six hougi in the trade who are realising that pries, and these are the makers of marked iron." li-oii of t-.quallv f--ood-l)ut not ot' such well known marks, can be purchased at ES per tou, an inferior tnai-ki at £ 7 5s. to 17 12s. 6d. per too. Pig irpu of (he best hot air class is now selling at L,-i to £ 4 2i. Gd. per ton, a reduction cf 112s. 6d. per too within six months, and second quality marks con- taining a proportion of ciuder" at £ 3 15s and jE3 17s 6d. We have heard that 4,000 tons were sold of this class of pig iron at £:3 15s last week by a party who lust quarter refused to take £ 4 5s per ton. LTti der these circumstances, it is generally fell that at the next quarterly meeting, u less the tender should in some degree revive, it will be necessary to reduce the price of "markeJ iron" from £ 9 to f8. in which case wages will have to beredueed, though a strike" may be the consequence. The iron trade of this dis- trict participates in this depression, and orders are difficult to beobtaiaed THE COAT., TRADE. The coal trade, until recently very flat, is rather better, as regards domiu.d, owing to the stoppage of Bryumally works, though it is impossible to advance the price, in fact, if this step were attempted, an im- mediate stop would be put to the demand, which, we fear, wiii, without any other cause, resume its former quiet state, as soon as Bryumally Colliery is again at work. The present state of the money market, and high rates of discount are pressing heavily on trade; and its lou,, as they last, a lar-e or brisk" trado cannot be expected. Under these circumstances, we cannot but deprecata the attempt, which we under- stand has been wade by the colliers iu the employ of the Westminster Company, to obtain an advance of wages, which are already higher than they have liithrr- to been. With iron and coal, at existing pricee, such au advance, if obtained, would, iu a verv short time, re- coil un the meu themselves by a reduced demand and less trade, which would inevitably follow any at- tempt or their employer* to raise the price of coal. It is clearly tha ititei-est of employers aud "mea" that prices of coal and rales of «ugcs should remaiu as they are, if a fair trade is to ba doue.

THE EUROPE \? EMU?OILME?T.…
THE EUROPE \? EMU?OILME?T. 11. r¿ L "J lJ.Ii\lI.I .l.. WITJICM'T ATLRTCHIUFF undue importance to the j 1" -rl 1 l note recently inserted in the Paris Jlonifcur, j relttit)" to tlle English Pros it is pretty j certain that the friendly relations formerly ex- j isting between the courts of St. James' and the f r J. (' I "J r Tuiieries arc becoming more forma and f rigid, j Whether it be titat England hnds itself iu a fa'.so position, and is revive and uneasy in con- j 1 -uuence 0r that the French Emperor fancies that he can better consolidate his power by at- taci-•nj: him. ■ more closely to Russia and the ] other coutiuoi.i. d despotisms, the fact is patent ;hat the policy of$hc two countries is beginning I to take a different direction, and that the di- vergence has already commenced. The news received this week from all parts of Europe leaves but little doubt on this head. Le Nord, which has a close connexion with the Russian cabinet, speaks of France and its Emperor in terms of respect and even admiration, and states that the views of the two governments on all the leading questions of Europe as being Identical, whilst at the same time it raiis at En- ¡ gland and Austria in the most bitter and on. I venomed spirit. These two latter powers, in- I clwJinrr Turkev, complain th?L itussia has not 1.. 1 1 1 ni'nn?! the ?puh?on i'np.js.?l ? upon her by the Tieaiy ofr?'i!?!?tbyi..&in? possei-s?n I of the Isle of Savpents, and secondly, by not ceding Bolgrad, so as to complete the rectifi- cation of the liessarabian frontier, and they .J t 1 j peremptorily refuse to withdraw their forces until after ih-* terms of the Treaty have been carried out to the very letter. Iiussia, on her part, retorts the charge with maeh acrimony, and asserts that it is England by keeping its J R 's C' tlct HI te Bhok Sea, and Air; 1 Ha by not withdrawing her army from the Principalities, that arc to blame, and adds, that if England continues to occupy the Euxine she will do so too. In this dilemma France has hitherto, re- mained apparently neutral; but the note recently addressed to Count Bit, the Austrian Minister, calling upon him to withdraw the Austrian troops from the Principalities indi- cates which way the wind is beginning to blow. On the other hand, intelligence ii-is just been received from Constantinople stating that En- gland, Austria, and Turkey have agreed to maintain their present positions until Russia has withdrawn from hers. In consequence of this A all Pasha, the Turkish Minister, a warm partisan of France, has been replaced by Red- schid Pasha, the personal and political friend of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, so that Eng- land has once more obtained the ascendancy at the Porte. Another proof, showing that a I new combination of the great European powers is gradually taking place, is to be found in the changed tone of the organs of the Press in the Austrian interest. England is now spoken of I by them as being their only natural Ally in Europe; that she in former times was found always combating on their side; and that in fact that they have cycrything to gain and nothing to lose by an English alliance as she is I the only g-reat Power from whom she has no- thing to fear. What she thinks of our policy on the Italian question we do not know, but at I all events she makes no sihrn-Jiscretion for i.he moment, being we suppose, the bettor part of j her poliev. f But it is not on the Turkish question alo??ic that the Western Powers disagree. England j is not much pleased a t the conduct of France 1 1 1r 1.. 'h in the Naples affair, and is anything but satis- tiedst the turn mutters have taken in Spain, I which if they have not been originated at least have been sanctioned by the French Emperor, j In truth England has just grounds for com- j plaint against the sovereigns of both these countries. Queen Isabella owes her throne entirely to the support accorded to her by this country, by whom she was supplied with both money and men, when her cause, was appar ent- ly most hopeless; and King Bomba was re- stored to the Kingdom of Naples solely by our arms. This was done conditionally, that they should rule their subjects justly, and up- hold a constitutional form of government which they solemnly swore to do. Being Bourbons they have not only publicly and shamelessly violated their oaths, but have insulted and laughed at the nation which supported them in their dire necessity. I ranee, indirectly and to a certain extent, approves of this conduct, and hence has sprung up a coolness which is likely to lead to still further estrangement. But the embroilments and complications which exist between France and England are nothing when compared with those existing between ) the Other Powers. Prussia is opposed equally and with all the heartiness engendered by long '¡ and hereditary antagonism both to France and Aust ria; whilst she li-,ts a strong leaning both to England and Russia—to the former especially ¡ as beini a Protestant, country. France on her part hates Prusiiia and covets the Rhine pro- vinces, and she is a rival to Austria in Italy. I Austria is somewhat in the position of Prufobi, fo- having drawu upon herself .the hatred of Russia, she. too is under the [necessity of seeking an alliance with England. Russia, we believe, is opposed to all alike, but perhaps gi v«e the preference to Franee as assimilated nearer to her own spirit in military matters. I It will be seen from the above that England has, by far, the least number of foes and the nreatest number of friends, and what is of much more importance still, she is really in- dependent of them all. Her true policy, there- fore, should ordinarily be passive rather than active, and conservative rather than aggressive unless indeed when great principles are in- volved and the question affects the welfare of the wholo continent. England is great by reason ofher social institutions and mercantile prosperity and if she do not maintain her position as the first power in Europe, and it can be only by reason of the blundering policy of those who are at the head of affairs and who direct her policy.
- UNION AMONGST LIBERALS.…
UNION AMONGST LIBERALS. IT has been too much the fashion, of late ye&rs, for Liberals to complain of the short comings of the Whig government and to accuse them of lukewarmness in carrying liberal measures i through Parliament. Each session commences with a flourish of trumpets and bills ad libitum are placed on the table of the House of Coin- mons, which are destined to be strangled, some on their first and others on their second or third rea-lings. Should they be fortunate enough to pass the lower House, but few thread through the sluggish mazes of the Lords, and fewer still without being mutilated to such a degree that their framers can scarcely recognise them. Unfortunately these statements are but too tru--tbe question which remains to be solved is, who is most to blame, the members of the government, or their liberal supporters in the Ileuse of Commons and the country t W ere ministers enabled to carry measures simply by voluntary volition and at their pleasure then indeed the fault would exclusive- ly rest at their doors, and they would fkirly deserve censure but with a compact phalanx of obstructives arrayed against them, and whose only object is to impede, thwart, and render inefficient and unpopular the government in order thereby to supplant it, it is clear that they possess no such talismanie power. Even were the whole liberal party united as one man, measures of a decided liberal tendency would be often thrown out by the Lords, who by their position are not directly amenable to public opinion, and who act as a drag weight upon all legislation. But the liberal party are not by any means a united party amongst them- selves on the contrary, session after session they waste their strength individually on some pet projects of their own, without con- cert or establishing any definite line of policy, upon which they can agree towards working out any general object which they way all have in common. One is wedded to the aboli- tion of Church-rates, another takes upon him- self the Ballot question, and a third takes the important subject of Education under his im- mediate and especial patronage. Each of these gentlemen can number some score or two of friends who invariably vote iu favour of the motion brought forward by their petty i l' r 0 1. 1 caioiiam, but who unfortunately care but little for anything else. Now this is ail right and all 1 wrong. It is proper that a personal "interest snoti d be tiiki. iu such questions as the Ballot, I Education, and those connected with oia* ¡ n, 1 "1' nuic-a ^itaolishiiient, by members especirdly acquauit?d ?-ith their details and princinh a. nnd that one or two members should (Icvo?e parucular attention to them. But it isiur-;t impolitic and unwise for any section ofliberd8 to confine their attention exclusively to them to the neglect of more important matters thus making and mounting a hobby-horse of their own. What really is wanted is a care- fully prepared programme of genetai policy for the carrying out of wliieh they ought to combine the whole strength of their available forces. Until this f.e done it is manifestly un- just to blame the government for its want of success, and altoget her illusory to suppose that really beneficial measures will ever be obtained, j 1 Some of the liberal London papers, amongst them being the Leader and the Nonconformist, are directing the attention of the public to this subject and advocate most earnestly the neces- I' h. h f" sity which exists in t,he:preent circumstances of the nation for a greater amount of union 0 among liberals of all shades of opinion. The liberals of btc have been invariably beaien on i j matters of detail, although victorious by large | majorities on questions involving the fate of I j the government as such. This indicates pretty j I 1 J "1" coar! v, we should say, that there is something 1 v.I. q" -L¡'¿ .1.>, iL.J. "c: j radically wrong iu the Liberal camp. To resiic-cly this the Leader would take steps to F-. difTer?r;t sections of the party, r.hlbt j }'e :¡ 9'1'" ""M 'IÇ" 1\1". n, ,:) t' j the Ifoncotifcrmist hr. s paper ) thinks j I that a ne w Reform Bill is imperatively required, j and that without one, no measure of any i practical utility will ever be carried. We have I no objection to a new Reform Bill certainly, or to a verW y strinO gent modification of the old one; but still the recommendation of rheLeaderi* the I j better one, for if it were adopted, it would be the very means of obliging the government to I bring in a measure of Reform sooner than they ¡ otherwise would, and of carrying it after it I were introduced. As for the apathy which ] now exists on all abstract political questions, i I we believe it will be only of temporary dura- ¡ tion. The people are apathetic because they ¡ really have no leaders, and also because they J do not see their way clearly as to what, is 1, j calculated to better their condition. Were i measures propounded by the liberal party j which would be worth obtaining the people's j lethargy would very soon be dissipated but they do aot care to agitate merely to gratify the vanity of certain members afilicted with crotchets, nor indeed for anything which is not of permanent and decided advantage to the 1 nation. Let, then, the liberals unite and pro- duce a programme worthy of themselves and the people who support them, aad neither the government nor the House of Lords will long withstand their efforts. If they do not do I fc)-.ts. If they do not U'O they certainly have no right to justly complain of either one or the other. l
I VISIT OF LORD PALMEJRSTON…
VISIT OF LORD PALMEJRSTON TO MANCHESTER On Thursday, the Right Hon. Viscount Pal- merston, paid a visit to Manchester and was exceedingly well received. He visited succes- sively the Pel Park Museum and Library in j S?Ifhrd, the Town HaU, Manchester, and the Free Trade H?n, .and made most eloquent a?schee at each of them. Addresses were presented to him by the Corporations of Man- ¡ M2ster and 6alford,the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and,the Commercial Assoeiotiou in which his public services were alluded to in j very warm and fi.-ttrring. Several of the must 1 d d eminent gentlemen connecte d with city and district made Bpccdles on the occasion—most of them being animated aud eloquent. In re- I ply ta an allusion made by Mr. Brotherton, his 1 Lordship said ;—My honourable frieuil has observed upon the imputation which, -On a former occasion, had been cast upon me por- sonally-a disposition to risk, withuut necessity the peace of the eouatry, to go, if not into the thick, at all events to the verge of -war with other countries. These accusations were found- 'I ed upon a misconception of the nature of my opinions; for, depend upon it, a country like this, which has such great interests at stake, such a high reputation to maintain, which has fellow-subjects scattered over the whole face of the civilised world, whose property floats upon every ocean, whose commercial transac- tions extend to the remotest corners of the e.-ixth,—depend upon it, a country like this does well to guard against the approach of in- sult and wrong. (Cheers.) It is easier to stop the beginnings than it is to find a remedy when the evil has risen to a great magnitude, and great efforts and exertions are required. My object in these transactions to which my honourable friend has alluded was not to bring on war, but to prevent war; and, depend upon it, thilt is the trne policy of the country; this is the policy which has been pursued by all those statesmen of former times who have risen to the highest reputation in the couutrv, and | most acquired the confidence of the people— ( ) 1" n h 1. h. 11' (cbaers ) this is^the policy which in all times an enli?ht?ucd s?tesmeu will purs? and an ea- lihtent. peopl wiil  (Gt'eat chcer- lightened people will a p prova. c h eer- Speaking of the progressive spirit of the age and the example which England, has set in this respect to other nations, he said :—Mr. Mayor, you liave said that you hope the government will pursue the course of improvement which has hitherto been pursued, and any government that was insensible to that dutyiniust be unfit to be intrusted with the conduct of public affairs. Progressive improvement is that which every man practises in his private concerns, and why ehould a nation not practise in the concerns of the country f tRear, hear.) When I look aronnd, I see that every man, in his private capacity, improves his estate, or his house, or hid business, or his manufactory, or his machin- ery and why should not we endeavour, time after time, perpetually to be improving those laws and those institutions which, being hnman, can only be perfected accordiug to the pro- gress of society, and according to the change of circmmtances-which must perpetually be re- quiring amendment and extension. (Cheers). His lordship conduced his highly interesting and most eloquent and appropriate speaeh, ainidit the enthusiastic plaudit# of one of the most oumeroug and respectable aadicaces sver congregated ia Man- chester.

OLD ENGLISH MANNJEBSAND CUSTOMS.— Let us consider a little of the domestic econo- my of our forefathers (remark s Mr. Tite), and see if the fancies in which some writers have in- dulged about the hospitable plenty and comfort which reigned in the houses of the worshipful of the land are warranted by the facts of the case. The roast beef of old England" the fame of whose name has grown into our being, was unheard of; the only use that beeves were of was undoubtedly to salt and boll, and bread was a great luxury, not in common use even by the nobles; and as to the nut-brown ale, what could it have been before the time of Henry VII., when hops were first introduced into the country? The records of the Percy fimili, in the time of Henry VII, show the extreme coarseness of the mode of living; and an ex- tract or two from the household book of that famous family will give a better idea of the manner in which the most famous nobles of the time lived than anything else I know of The permanent household numbered 166 persons, and the average of guests was 50; and the whole of the washing for thésC 216 persons was for one year 403 a sum probably equal to £40 in the present day, most of which was for the chapel linen. From Midsummer to Michaelmas was the only time they indulged in fresh meat, and the mstructloua say, My lord h?a on his table, ibrb'enk?t, at seven in the morning, a quart of beer and wine, two pieces of salt fish, six red herrings, four white ones and on tiesh days, half a chine of beef or xuutton boiled." At Dinner, men ranking as knights, had a table cloth, which was washed once a month; and as they had no napkins, and the ifngers were extensively used in feeding, this portion at least of their linen must have been in a delightful condition. Until the thirteenth century straw was the bed of kings and before that date the king and his family tdept in the same chamber. The first change was to throw a coverlid over the sleeper, then another was used, the persons undressed, their linen being ( for blanket*. Beatrice says she would lief 1}" I' l' I,. sleep In the wool len," whicli hh'.v. I tlDiLC, that such a thing was uone even in Shake-pear's lime. The use of nothing but coarse Jirty woollen next the skin, seldom changed, and the heavv, exciting nature of the highly suited foDd, on which all lived, of course tended to produce those diseases for which hospitals wove I t tl "f' founded in this city, as in most ot hers..—T/ie Builder.

IMPOHTANT POSTAL NOTICE.-The Postmaster General, finding that much confusion 1* created by letters marked registered being deposited in the letter-boxes instead of being given in at the windows of the Post Office, and proper receipts ob. tained," notifies, that "on and from the 1st of November aJlmch letters will be liable to a regis- tration free of Is. in addition to the proper amount of this fee, or such portion of it as may not have been piepaid, will be charged to the person to whom the letters ara addressed." This has been done to check a practice which "operates pre- judicially to the well-working of the system of re- gistration, which now secures the safe transmission of about a million of letters annually." In the same notification, the Postmaster-General agaiu calls the attention of the public to the very baneful practice, which is still most extensively resorted to, of sending valuable letters by the post without having them registered j and he would urge that it is a moral duty to refrain from subject- ing the officiasl ofphe Post Office to unnecessary temptation. SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CHATHAM.—On Monday t night, some [interesting liegt operations took place in Chatham lines, in which the Royal Engin- eers end Sappers and Miners, to the number of about 1,000 men, took part. As the night was I dark, the troops were assisted with & number of < lights and bull's-eyes. The train having been completed, the signal was given for a regular at- I tack. A patrol of the Royal Engineers was sent J out from the garrison to attack the besiegers, and on their falling in with the out p-Lckets of the one my, a brisk fire was opened on them by the work- ing party in the entrenched works. The whole of the working party, extending nearly three quarters of a mile, stood to their amis, and shortly after- wards a heavy nring commenced on the garrison- -Lbe patrols lcanng behind them their nre-balla in the glaci, in order to see their way into the gar- j rison. The garrion in return opened a trenfen- doua fire of artillery from Fort Amherat, the guna bing mannJ by the Royal Marine Light Infm- try. Tho ramparts were lined with the Royal En- gineers, who acted as infantry,and kept up a raking tire of musketry from one end of the lire of forti- lications to the other. Fire-balls ami blue-lights were lit up on the salient angles of the bastion, under the charge of Quarter-master Bradford and they shed a brilliant light over the country for miles. The troops of the garrison sent a party as a patrol from the works but, owing to the hghti, they were soon discovered by tha besieging patrols to be the enemy. They were driven back undor a sharp fir# of musketry, aud the firing was kept up by the troops protecting the parallels and bat- teries with considerable spirit, and as nothing could be seen but the reflections from the musketry and fetid pieces of artillery, the spectacle produced a very impoaiug effect. It was very late before the troops wore called to go their barracks. About (000 spectators wore present in the lines. A Wilkl,-g STACKING A Stiip.- Greetiock, Oc- tober 31.- Th ship Cuban of this port, Captain Gal. loway, which arrived hose from Deniersra 011 Wed- nesday, met with a most extraordinary adventure on her homeward voyage.

In the island of Rhodes mountains havs fallen down into the plains beneath, eutire villages destroyed, aud not a house iu town has escaped damatre. The lost of life is said to amount to some one hundred BO i's. Ou the islauds of Halki, Cassos, and Scarpento, the damages were very considernblc, and the vidh:, amount to 150. Marmarizzo. 1)^1 iani, and nci:h. bourinp villages, have likewise aiifrered but at Aidi-I (where its duration was 50 seconds,") and at Myfelene, the damage was trifling, wbile at TIeyrout the shock waa very slight.

I CENTRAL AMERICA. ¡ Telegraphic advices frm New Orleans of October 22nd furnish further particulars of the enErtiLrement between Walker and the allies. The accounts are as follows :-Walker, finding the enemy advancing 011 I Massaya, withdrew his small force, when the enemy 4,000 strong, occupied the p'ace. Walker then lefta j small force at Grenada, and advanced towards M.is?a- ya with 1,000 men, and meeting the enemy near the city, drove them back 'to Massaya, where a battle lasted till midnight. At daybreak a conrier ar-iived from Grenada, stating that 1,400 Guaternelaus natives were besieging the place. Walker inimcdi- atuly marched to the relief of Granada, and arriving on the 13th, and finding the city blockaded tr tl. whole force of the enemy, he charged and drove them from their posts, capturing their comnin:i- ders and all their field nieces. The total loss of j the enemy was 1,100; Walker's was 16 t 33 wounded.
