Lord Derby's Advice: He Urges Englishmen to Emigrate to America.
London, January 3.--The speech of Earl Derby at Liverpool last evening has tended to still further depress the state of public feeling with respect to the commercial and industrial future. His lordship took an exhaustive review of the condition of England's trade, and of obstacles which stood in the way of its revival. He showed how the increased ability of other nations to manufacture for themselves was constantly diminishing the market for English goods, and how difficult it would be for England to keep on paying large sums of money in return for articles of food which she was compelled to purchase from America and other countries. The only remedy, his lordship said, which suggested itself to his mind, after a long and anxious reflection, was wholesale emigration to America and Australia, and he urged this with great earnestness.
