The Earl of Derby, hile expressing policitude in regard to tho supply of eolton, manifested a etui deeper conoern for tho welfare oí the Republio, - Ho sa'!: "It i imposible not to feel the deepest concern at the threatened cisrnption of that great Union, as it must aflect the welfaro of that country. - (Hear, hear.) Thereino man in this country who irould not view with the (eepest anxioty and regret tho disruption of a cpmrnunity whioh, without claiming perfection for its institutions, and certainly ander various disadvaninge-, has yet procured for its peoplo nn amount of prosperity almost unparnllelod in tho world, and an amount of personal froedom only inferior - and I think it is inferior (hear, hear) - to that enjoved in tliis country. (Hear, hear.) But it is impossible to look at that threatened disruption - ooly possible to be effocted at the cost of tho horrors of civil war - without looking also at tho eflects it would produce on the manufactures of this country. lts first effects at all eTciits, would be most disastrous to one great branch of our industry. - Unfortunately it does so happon - I trust that it will not be IoDg so- that we havo boon almost eschisively dependent oa tho cotton of Arnoricii.

Of similar import was the languago of Earl üranville, who epoko as folio ws: "As regards tho nfortunate disseneions in the United States, I may allude to one very remarkable instance of the feeling in this country on the subject. - l'or ycars after tho separation - which I would term unfurtunata if it had not heen followed by ueh signal prosperity both in the rnother country and in the colony - thoro was a feeling of rivalry between thom, and of apparent jealousy at one another's success. Tho visit of the Frince of Wales showed that at bottom the poople of tho United States entertained a hearty sympathy for tho country from which they derived their descent, and tho visit promised to exerciso a valuablo iulliience on the futuro relaliong of the tivo oauntrios. A strong foeling of regret has been expressed throughout Ëqg)aod at tho dissonsions between the northern and pouthern States. Foreigner alter foreigner has como to me and said, "You must be very glad to seo this weakening of your great rival;" but not ft single Knglishman has .made such ft remark; and I do believo that the alfiüity of blood does produce, and has producod, a strong degree of sympathy throughout Kn..,land for a country which is almoat as free as our own. - In Engiaad we enjoy thi advnntafie: ihnt tlio mtnosttj with us bas anipler opportunities of expressiiig itself than it possesses undcr more democratie inttitutions. It is not for me to prophoy or to point out how these disseiiMous will end; but, whether for tho welfare of the United States, or with a view to tho future relations between the two countiios, I beliuve it is tho earnst desiro of the English peoplo ihat the quarrel should ccase (hear, hear), and we wish it mny termínate in the way whieh is most likely to insure the prosperity of this great and kindred nation. - (Hear, hear.)
