I ORD John a , -uSSELL has astounded his J enemies , his friends , o . nd his neutrals , by a sudden dash at " the Democracy of England . " He is setting up an Order of the Lone Star , himself being the lonely one in want of an order ; and lo ! it answers to his call . The occasion of Lord John ' s speech was a dinner at Perth , given to Lord Panmure by the constituents who had sent liim to Parliament as Mr . Fox Maule ; the drift of his speech was to announce that he should wait to hear the Ministerial course to be declared in November , and then to propose a course of his own —not avoiding but courting that " Democracy "
which consists of the people of England advance s irresistibly to political power by the acquirement of wealth and intelligence . So spoke Lord John ; and the Liberal press generally re-echoes his speech as a . manifesto savouring of all his early boldness . The W > pes of the Liberals revive , »» d the idea of more political union has decidedly " taken . " Manchester is to hold a great meeting m . November , and will probably follow up Lord John ' s manifesto with a formal lulhesion .
On the other side , there have been various 'W'K'ulturul gatherings . At Framlinghani , Sir I ' V / roy Kdly tells the farmers that they must rely hi themselves , not others , uorMinisters ; atllarrow , Mr . IWimll , Mr . Hubert de llurgh , and the Middlesex Magistrates have presided over ploughing iiiul prize distributions : no politics allowed . At "imlniry , Mr . Henley entertains the people of xlortl with a Ministerial manifesto . He pro'"^< 1 to disclose the principles and future course
' -oi *! Derby's ( lovcrument . " Conticuere omnes " ll l > ncked up their ears .

duties , established ignorance , Orangeism , and nonprotection of com . The future course , " to relieve the suffering classes , * ' was not stated . Whereat Rainald Knightley , kinsman of that Knightley who fought with Cromwell , was wroth . Among other side glances , Mr . Henley threw out hints that a Peelite accession would be welcomed . No doubt—but all the Peelites know better .
National prosperity continues to be the theme of the day . The cry is in every mouth ; and we are telling each other of our immense material conquests and comforts with all the glee of schoolboys . How much of all this comes from Emigration , how much from Free-trade , what proportion from gold discoveries , the sages of Protection decline to affirm . Nevertheless , everybody else sees that it is due mainly to Emigration . Even Mr . Henley , at Banbury , admits ' that Emigration has
emptied our workhouses and enabled the farmers of the south to employ fewer and better hands . The Secretary of the Early Closing Association tells us that shopmen are now " free agents , " another effect of Emigration . Even the handloom weavers of Scotland have in some instances obtained a rise from the same potent cause . On rushes the t « l < -. Leith is now reported to be an
Emigration port ; four vessels are about to sail for Australia . The Irish Exodus is greater than ever . And all round our coast the population is pouring forth ; forming new markets for produce , new populations to enjoy it , new states and empires . But in spite of Emigration , Free-trade , and gold , England lias yet enough squalor , misery , and crime to eradicate before she can be really prosperous .
The Amalgamated Engineers again come before ; the public . Many of them very naturally refuse ; to sign the declaration , without which masters will not give employment ; others arc marked men for their previous activity ; hence , to provide for these men , an organized movement has been set on loot to raise a fund for their Emigration to Australia .
A good number have gone . In Australia , men Who can work are at a premium ; and the training of men ilk iron works will give them many advantages in arranging the search and selection of the gold . In Australia , industry secures independence , increasing case , and the opportunity of . social advancement . The masters may yet have to repent of their malice-bearing rigour . The murder of the soldier at Fcrmoy , wounded
with a double-ed ged knife , by piercing him in the spine as oxen / are killed , attests the malignant feeling agains / the regiment which served at Sixmile-bridge . ( The respectable people of Fermoy have emphatically-disclaimed this dastardly enmity to the regiment , but Ribandmen and organized murderers are not among the classes able to subscribe pounds sterling to discover a culprit . Mr . Webster has retracted his claim to the Lobos islands , countermanded the order sent to
Commander M'Auley to protect American guano robbers , and informed Captain Jewett that if he persists in his enterprise , he will be treated as a pirate making " private war ! " This is one of Mr . Webster ' s most astonishing political summersets . But will Captain Jewett also countermand his orders to the captains of his buccaneering squadron to fight for the Lobos ? If not , Peru is ready , armed to the teeth , to meet him ; and the cry in the mountains of the Incas , is , " Down with the Yankees !"
The fishery question is in a very pretty muddle . Seizures go on ,. and are to be persisted in . Mr . Abbott Lawrence is said to think there is no danger Lord Malmesbury is of another opinion . The colonists are hot for their rights , and positive denials come thick and fast , that any settlement has been made . The reciprocal settlement talked of hy the Standard was fudge . The colonists rely on Lord Derby , and talk of sticking to the bay construction , and lighting for the three-mile line . Where will this imbroglio end ?
Every mail now reports the rise of Cuban and Yankee antagonism . General Cafiedo has actually refused the purser of the Crescent City permission to land , and set a guard on the ship . The charge is , that \\ fi published false reports of the state of the island in the American papers . Not only this , but American journals are not allowed to circulate in llavunimh . The official organs admit that
arrests have been made , and that an was anticipated ; but they dispute about the numbers arrested . The anniversary of the death oi Lopez has been celebrated at New Orleans with great pomp , by torchlight . The ugliest news « h that the French and English consuls at Cuba have written home for an armed force to protect trench and British property » in the event ol disturbances . Our readers will remember that Lord Malmesbury had anticipated the wants of the British oflicial by ordcringouttwo . steam-frigates toreinforce the Went
