Saturday , November 8 . Lambeth pronounced for Kossuth yesterday at the Horns Cavern , under the presidence of Mr . W . Williams , M . P . The spirit of the meeting was warlike and aggressive in the highest degree . Mr . Williams said , politicians affirmed that Austria must be sustained to keep up the balance of power : — " He would say , perish the balance of power , if the T > rio . e was to be the upholding of tyranny . ( Cheers . ) the dust
Let all these despotic powers crumble in , ana there was no danger but that England would at least be able to protect her own rights and liberties . ( Loud cheers . )" Mr . F . Doulton , who moved the address , though bitten by Palmerston , has a right notion of the kind of support Hungary requires , but which Palmerston won ' t afford . _ _
" Such expressions of op inion must have a powerful effect on our foreign policy , and we had a man at the head of our Foreign-office who would be ready to endorse that opinion ( Cheers . ) We did not want a European war ; ¦ we had suffered tod much from one already ; but the time mi ^ ht come when we should have to choose between action and the destruction of the liberties of Europe . ( Hear hear . ) Two great nations , he had almost said the only free nations of the earth , were now united against despotism , and would resist it , whether it appeared in the person of a crowned emperor , or wider the milder presidential sway . ( Cheers . )" Mr . Webber supported Kossuth , "because he represented a great principle . " Mr . Slack attacked Russia , and wound up with a story .
" A few days since a foolish bull had butted against a railway train , and was soon smashed to atoms . He believed the two red emperors were in the position of that foolish bull . They were butting their heads against the great train of human events . That train might be guided by Mazzici , or it might be by Kossuth , but it would soon be in motion , and then let the red emperors beware . ( Loud cheers . )" Mr . Rose was very emphatic . He said .
" They were told to wait for France ; but his advice to the two great Saxon races was , to go on and not wait for France ^ which seemed as if she never could settle her own affairs . ( Cheers . ) He ( Mr . Rose ) was not for war if it could be helped , but public opinion was of no use in deterring despots unless it held war in perspective . " The address was carried unanimously , and also an address to the Sultan . A similar meeting , under the presidence of Mr . James Wyld , M . P ., was held at Islington .
Manchester is resolved to retrieve its honour , outraged by the Mayor . The crowds of applicants for tickets for the approaching banquet to Kossuth actually block up the streets . They are men of all classes , sects , and opinions .

Yesterday , the examination of " bribed ' voters took place before the St . Alban's Commission . Here are a few specimens of the Voters of St . Albuu ' s , men ¦ who come by votes under the rational , intelligent , and common-Hcnsical brick and mortar qualification ! Neptune Smith , a tall , brawny , and black bushybearded independent" doctor , said he had received £ 5 or £ 6 , he did not exactly know which , for his services . " The Chief Commissioner : Well , Mr . Smith , what services can you render ? WituesH : Fighting , Sir . ( Laughter . ) Oil , that ' , is it ? Yes , Sir , I can do a little' in that way . ( Renewed laughter . ) I am one of those as keeps the peace at election limes ; and when there '*) a row , 1 goes in amongst ' cm , and says , " Come ,
my lads , let us have a pot of beer , " and I finds that they had sooner fight a quart of beer than have a punch or two . ( Great laughter . ) I'm reg'larly employed to keep the jieace . —— Kentish , an old man , who gave his age as seventynix , said : 1 received £ 5 last election from Mr . . I'M wards . ] Ie laid it down on my table , and 1 picked it up . ( Lautjhter . ) lie did not nay it was for my vote ; he only uai ( l , " Oh , you look ; ih you did twenty yours ago . " ( Renewed laughter . ) He did not . say it wua lor my vote , but for a ChristmaH dinner . ( Laughter . ) 1 voted for Mr . Bell .
Francis Brown examined : L received £ 5 from Mr . 3 ]< hviirds a little before the last « lee . lion . ft was not for my vote . 1 Hell Rouga , and Mr . Kdwards came to my Iiouhc to buy music .

Sir Robert Kane delivered an admirable address on Monday , on the opening of the third session of the Queen ' s College , Cork , of which he is president . His closing words are remarkably decisive and satisfactory . " Recurring to the proper subject of this day ' s proceedings , and by which I was led to those observations on the necessity for a thorough reform in school education , and in those schools of public endowment through the cooperation of which the University Colleges may effect material improvement in our general education , I now beg , in conclusion , to express ray sense of the excellent conduct and conformity to discipline which characterized our students during last session . To this matter the authorities of this college attach the greatest
importance . In no way can the calumnies—( hear , hear ) —hurled against these colleges be more triumphantly refuted than by the steady diligence and moral conduct of our students . And that refutation has been abundantly afforded . ( Loud applause . ) Now , for two years have we been subjected to the keen supervision of the inhabitants of this great city—this population , which , although ardent for knowledge , although prizing educational progress as only those can prize it who are themselves participators in its enlightenment , would not yet purchase the proudest wreaths of literary and scientific glory for their sons by danger to moral purity or Christian faith—this population has , since our first opening , closely observed our course . And the authorities of this college may honestly take pride in the result . ( Applause . )"
The following strong and emphatic sentences are the opening words of a leader on the same subject in the Times of this morning : — " The gigantic system of godless education now firmly established in Ireland is bearing fruits which ought to cover with shame its bigoted detractors and opponents , whether Roman Catholic or Protestant . Not merely are the Queen ' s Colleges educating together in feelings of mutual amity and good-will those who a few years ago would have been trained in reciprocal hatred and contempt for each other ' s creeds and persons , but the time-honoured and orthodox routine or certain denominational establishments seems likely to be materially altered and improved by the standard of excellence thus reluctantly admitted .

The Corriere Italiano confirms the report that the Government of Tuscany is about to entrust the Austrian Ambassadors and Consuls with the affairs hitherto transacted by Tuscan Ministers at foreign Courts . All the Tuscan embassies and consulates are consequently to be suppressed . What a farce is all the talk about " respecting the settlement of 1815 , " abiding by the pledged word of our ancestors , " &c . &c . ! The Treaty of Vienna is the real Charter of Despotism , and the sp irit which conserves it , whether found in the city cf London or the city of Westminster , is the main ally of that unscrupulous absolutism which carried the Cossacks into Hungary , the French to Rome , and the Austrians to Florence . -
Every journal in Madrid , on the 3 lst of October , except the ministerial Ordcn , condemned in the strongest terms the arbitrary act of the Ministry in suppressing the evening paper , the Europa . They rightly suppose that the measure is but the beginning of a razzia upon the public press . The Nat ion concludes a very effective article on the subject with the parting words of the gladiator " Ca ; sar , morituri te aalutant . " The Europa had strongly but fairly criticised the late Allocution of the Pope , and the clerical question gene-™ lly . -
. - ..,,.,. The next day the Orden came forward to defend the conduct of the Government in suppressing the Europa . It . tacitly admits that the Government have overstepped the ; law ; but it says that if they have done so , it is because the law never foresaw such a ease as the establishment of an •' irreligious " journal in a country eminently and exclusively Catholic ; and it observes that Spurn lias never professed indifference , nor even tolerance , in matters of religion . from
The Atlantic arrived at Liverpool yesterday New York . Her papers are to the 26 th ultimo . The chief point of interest for us , is the progress of the German Liberation Loan which Kinkel is endeavouring to raise , and the enthusiasm with which the project in received . It . has been denounced as Jlibustero by the Government organ , the Washington Republic . Verily , the Government must take care . There are reasons for suspecting that President Fillmore and his Ministry are bitten by diplomacy , and have not acted faithfully up to the spirit of the people of theKtateH , even in the liberation of Kossuth .

THE CHALLENGE OF AUSTRIA ACCEPTED . Thk Alliance of the Peoples against the Despots is growing into form with a rapidity and power that the most sanguine of us could not have hoped . The danger , indeed , against which it is directed also becomes , in some respects , more formidable and more imminent : the Austro-Russian conspiracy is preparing to contend for its existence , and it will not expire without a struggle . Not that there is the slightest cause to be apprehensive if this country , knowing its own position , should make its Government act for the national interest . The
fact that Austria and Russia , with , their miserable bondman Prussia , are how entering upon the death fight , cannot hut fill the Despots with gloomy forebodings ; and despair is a poor councillor . As the position of Kossuth becomes more fully explained , its strictly practical character becomes more appreciated ; at the same time , in the present mood of this country , the very fact that the adhesions to his cause so multiply , will help to bringhim more adhesions . The demonstration in
Copenhagen-fields has formally added the great body of the working classes in this country to his followers ; its influence , we know by letters from the North , is already felt in Birmingham , Manchester , and the immense fields of activity which those two towns represent . The middle classes have spoken out pretty freely wherever they have had the opportunity—at Southampton and Winchester : in London they are moving ; municipal clogs—which Kossuth now knows how to appreciate , cannot keep them back in Birmingham or Manchester .
The United States may be said to have pronounced , through many channels , but not the least emphatically through the noble speech of the Honourable Mr . Walker , at Southampton . We believe that we shall not be found far w rong when we say that the two great parties in America will be at one on this subject . We know that some of the Whig party have hesitated ; but it will , we think , be found that their hesitation has been superseded . The Democratic party seizes on the in
idea with a natural sympathy and a natural pride the lead which the crusade will give to the Repubic in Europe ; and it is by adopting the idea that the Whig party avoids being in a minority , and neutralizes an additional " cry . " But we do not impute the adhesion of Whigs exclusively to party policy ; far from it ; they cannot fail to see the interest of their beloved country in the general vindication of freedom ; they cannot fail to u moved by a generous sympathy for oppressed an
patriotic communities . ., In his unstudied remarks on receiving the address from the Friends of Italy , Kossuth , as representing Hungary , declared that he accepted the alliance with Joseph Mazzini as representing Italy ; declaration which will strike terror at Vienna—« it means that Hungarians will no longer bes avni - able for the coercion of Italy , nor Italians loi coercion of Hungary . It will bo observed that u leaders of the combined European movement < i < resting the basis of their operations on the Mi" ] and naked facts , and that their policy w aH " , and open aa that of Austria is secret , and croon ,
