Saturday, Jw-V 21. House Of Commons.—The...
the people or their wants , censuring , by retrospective criticism , measures of _legislation which he had taken no pains at the time to " improve . He defended those measures , some of which , devised to meet extraordinary emergencies , had been eminently successful , exculpating the poor law , in particular , from the blame cast-upon it by Mr . Horsman , who , he observed , had suggested no practical remedy -which had not been debated over and over again _, government could , at best , only offer palliatives , and ihcse had been offered with no niggard hand . Mr . Horsman had asked what hope there was for the future ? First , there was a prospect ofa bountiful harvest ; and , next , the diminution in the amount of distress and in the number of outrages afforded ground for believing that we were on thc eve of better times . He met the motion with a -direcr negative . ' ... doctrine
Mr . Stafford refused to recognise the that parliament was responsible for the late Irish measures , which were the work ofthe government ; and here viewed , and to some extent re-argued , se--veral of tiiose measures , amidst manifestations of impatience in tlie House . Mr . Snxii . asked how it came to pass that of those Irish members hy whom this motion was to be sunported , not one had thought fit to originate it . Their "backwardness conld not arise from consciousness of incapacity , or want of self-confidence , or from their being unaware that Mr . Horsman had no connexion _witlTlrefc-uid . It was because his want of knowledge ef Ireland was countervailed by hia fitness to he an organ of dissatisfaction . It was not , however , in the use of caustics that that gentleman excelled ; last session he had _^ pronounced a hi g h encomium Upon Lord Clarendon , and had extended his eulogy to the Pirst Minister of the Crown , acknowledging
that great allowance should be made for we difficulties with which the government had to contend . And who would say that they were not entitled to such allowance for difficulties almost insurmountable ? let Mr . Hor 3 man now set down in his motion a cenSure upon them for the temporary measures they had adopted for the relief of Ireland . Faults may have been committed , but he denied that " ihe benevolent intentions of parliament" had not been realised ; and if faults had been committed , they -were as nothing compared with the relief which had heen afforded—the millions of lives saved hy the generosity of England . Then Mr . Horsman found fault , with the permanent measures . The governmen : had to choose between the poor-house aid the charnel-honse , and they chose the former . Mr . Horsman proposed to devise a legislation that should be " at once solid , profound , and regenera tive .- "' He ( lid not venture to discuss this
unaihomable legislation , but he believed that the urgent evils of Ireland were such as defied human legislation , and could only be healed by an Almighty hand . On the motion of The _O'Gobsias Minors the debate was adjourned until Tuesday , and , after some further business , the House adjourned at twelve o ' clock .
TUESDAY , _Jum 24 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —In tbis House a great number of bills were advanced a stage , amongst them was the _Poon Relief ( IkeiiAxd ) "Bra . as _amended or damaged rather by the Peers . Iicnl Sxaxlet repeated hi 3 objections to the practice of scading np a shoal of bills at the close of the session which they had scarcely time to read—consideration was out ofthe question . Earl Gket admitted the justice of the complaint , bnt said it was quite fifty years old , and he believed the inconvenience was inseparable from thc constitution of the two Houses of Parliament . [ We presume that , as true supporters of the Constitution , both noble lords would resist any change which would get rid of this objectionable mode of legislation . ] Al the close of the sitting their Lordships adjourned to "Wednesday , thus _« -iving themselves an extra day , to keep pace with the bills sentnp from
the Commons . HOUSE OF COMMOXS .-The House met at twelve o ' clock . A number of bills were advanced a stage , whereupon the sitting was suspended till seven o ' clock . At that hour the house _rc-assembled . A new writ was ordered for the borongh of Boston , in the room of Sir James Duke , who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds . _ItieGED School _Eihgratiox . —Lord _Asiilet brought before the House the state of a portion of Hie -juvenile population of the metropolis , and moved ,
* 'That it is expedient that means be annually pro--rided for the voluntary emigration , to some of her "Majesty ' s colonies , of a certain number of young persons of both sexes , who have been educated in the schools ordinarily called ranged schools , in and about the metropolis . " In speaking to this motion , the noble lord entered into a series of interesting and instructive details respecting the condition of the destitute juvenile population of the metropolis , and strongly urged the -necessity of adopting some course for the promotion of the voluntary emigration of such persons .
SirG . Gret , in reply to the arguments of the noble lord , stated that as the funds for emigration purposes were already insufficient to meet the demands of the . honest people whose emigration itwas to be hoped would raise the colonies to the condition -which it was wished to see them placed , he could not sanction _& e proposition cf the noble lord . Sitting there as the representatives of the people , they must look at the interests of society as a whole , and , While not disregarding the criminal ] they must before all take care to do justice to that class of society consisthu" of the children of honest parents , labourers , and artisans who had peculiar claims oa the benevolence of the country .
Mr . P . Wood considered that it would be highly desirable if some plan could be devised by which orphan children , when they left ihe workhouse , could he sent to the colonies . He wonld consent to a sl » ghl encouragement from the state to _ragsed schools , bul he was satisfied the moment that was exceeded , thej v-fluld paralyse all eff _-Jts of individual charity . Lord Ashlet replied , that seeing the sense of the House was against Mm , he would withdraw his motion . JLmins OP GriASA . —Mr . Hume then proceeded tc make his promised statement with reference to the affairs of British Guiana , and submitted a motion to the effect that the time had arrived when the public expenditure of the colony shonld be reduced , and that a local responsible government should be founded therein to decide upon tho extent of their establishments , and to provide the means for _payimj the same .
Mr . IL Baillie and Mr . Hawes followed , after which , Mr . S-rcAKT moved the adjournment of the debate . Mr . Home replied to certain arguments of Mr Hawes , and after a few observations from Mr DisitAEii tKj Ilouse divided , when the motion for adjourning the debate was negatived by a majority of 77 j thc numbers 17 to 94 .. No sooner was the gallery re-opened at twelve o ' clock than the question was put by the Speaker that the House do adjourn , which was at once agreed to amidst much laughter . WEDNESDAY , Jult 25 . HOUSE OF LORD- ; . —Their lordships sat an hour and a half , and forwarded bills as "U 5 Uali HOUSE OF COM . MONS .-The House met at twelve o ' clock .
The order of the day for the adjourned debate upon the state of Ireland was discharged , Mr . Horsman intimating that he should renew the motion next
. The Bankrupt and Insolvent Members Bill was withdrawn , and the Smoke Prohibition Bill experienced in effect the same fate . The Nuisances Removal and _Di-eases Prevention B ill , oa the third reading , underwent some amendments . Amongst the bills read a third time and rassed ¦ were the Clergy Relief Bill and the Protection of "Women Bill , the latter not without renewed opposition and a _division . Tlie House then Trent into committee npon the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Bill , Mr . Stuart and Sir J . Graham bearing testimony to the labour and attention which had been bestowed upon this important measure hy the Attorney- General and the other members of the Select Committee . The consideration of the details of this bill occupied nearly all the remainder of the day .
Mr . Milnes brought in a hill for the Reformation ef Juvenile Offenders . The House adiourned at six o ' clock .

Sir G . Grw joined in the request . Mr . Reynolds , however , persisted , and after a lengthened speech moved for papers relating to the unfortunate affair . Mr . Scully seconded the mot-on . A brief discussion ensued , after-vhich the motion was withlrawn . The House immediately afterwards adjourned . FRIDAY , July 27 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord _BnouoiiAM complained of certain alterations which had been introduced in the Lower Ilouse into the Baxkm * mcy Dioest and Cossolidaiiox Bill , and proposed additional amendments . After some discussion it was _agreed that a message should be sent to the _IIouiTc of Commons on the subject .
The Pilotage Bill and the Muxigifal Conroiutioxs ( Ireland ) Bill then passed through committee . Several other bills were forwarded a stage , and their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF ' COMMONS . —The House met at twelve o ' clock , when the Workhouses Loans ( Ireland ) Bill , " the Drainage of Lands Bill , and the _Admiraltv Jurisdiction * is TnE Colonies Bill were severally read a third time and passed . Ou the order of the day for taking mto consideration the Lords' amendments to the Poor Belief ( Ireland ) Bill , Lord J . Rus 3 ell , after takiug the opinion of the Chair , whether any of these amendments _^ affected the privileges of the Commons , and learning that the omission of the first two clauses , prescribing a maximum amount of rate , did , strictly speaking , infringe upon the privileges of the House , proceeded to say that , as these privileees had upon former
occasions been waived , he did not think that the House was bound to insist upon them on this occasion , the subject being one concerning which both Houses of parliament should be entitled to give an opinion . * Sh James Graham , upon the constitutional question involving the privileges of the House , differed from Lord John Russell , and contended that the interference of the Lords in this instance had gone far beyond any precedent , and that if this interference were allowed , it would be better and more consistent to abandon their privileges at once . This very question , as to the extent to which this House should waive its privileges in matters of local taxation , had been referred last session to a Select Committee , which came to an unanimous opinion that any relaxation beyond a very limited one would bo dangerous .
A long discussion then ensued , and Sir D . _XonnEYS moved that the amendments be considered that day three months . On a division the motion for agreeing to the Lords' amendments omitting these clauses was affirmed by a majority of 49 , the numbers in to 62 , and the House temporarily adjourned . On its resuming , the House proceeded with the amendments ofa less important character , some of which were agreed to and others rejected , four divisions taking place on the amendments enumerated in the report . The various other bills on the table having been proceeded with without discussion , the House adjourned until Saturday .

WJSQABSAS _HSDEPEISDENCE . On Monday a crowded meeting was held in the large room ofthe London Tavern , " for the purpose of expressing sympathy with that noble , maligned , and betrayed people , the Hungarians ; also for vindicating the people of England from any participation in the sentiments expressed by a portion of the public press as to the subjection of Hungary by the Austrian and Russian armies . " The chair was taken by Mr . Alderman Salomons atone o ' clock . Among the persons present were Mr . Cobden , M . P ., Lord "Nugent , M . P ., Lord D . Stuart , M . P ., Mr . B . Osborne , M . P ., Sir D , L . Evans , M . P ., Sir D . _t _forrcys , M . P ., Sir W . Clay , M . P ., Mr . M . Milnes , M . P ., Mr . J . Williams , M . P ., Mr . J . A . Smith , M . P ., Mr . Clay , M . P ., Mr . Willcox , M . P ., Mr . Mowatt _. M . P ., Colonel Salwey ,
MP .. Sh _« J . Walmsley , MP ., Mr . J . B . Smith , M . P ., Mr . Wyld , M . P . Mr . "IV . Scholefield , M . P ., Sir E . Colebrooke , M . P ., Captain Townsend _, M . P ., Mr . J . Kershaw , M . P ., Mr . W . Williams , & c . There were also present a considerable number of Poles , Hungarians , Germans , and other foreigners . Hundreds of persons were unable to gain admission . The Chairman , in opening the proceedings , stated that thc position of a chairman m a meeting like the present was one of considerable responsibility , but his responsibility was greatly lessened since the debate in the ITouseof Commons on Saturday —( cheers ') , —which would carry to the country facts that would probably have been discredited if they had appeared on any less
authority than that of eminent members of Parliament , and our Minister for Foreign Affairs . In alluding to the Times , the Chairman , said , he deeply regretted that a journal whieh had ever been , and which still was looked up to , as the great organ of public opinion in this country , had not taken that lead in regard to the Hungarian question which he had fondly anticipated . But he saw in that morning ' s paper symptoms of coming round to them , and he found also a condemnation of the opinions that ifc professed last week . ( Hisses and laughter . ) The Chairman read letters from Lord Beaumont nnd the Marquis of Sligo , expressing thoir regret that their Parliamentary duties would not allow them to be present . He also stated that he had received letters from several members of the Houso of
Commons to the same effect . Mr . G . W . Alexander came forward to propose the first resolution . He said he belonged to a society that had ever been friends to peace , and this had probably been the -motive for placing him in his present position . Allusion had been made to thc tone ofthe remarks made by the leading journal , and those remarks had been another motive for him in takin _» part in this meeting . ( Cheers . ) He had read them with disgust and indignation . ( Cheers and hisses . He was sorry to say that paper had become the sworn ally of despotism . ( Loud and long-continued cheering . ) There was oh the part of that journal , and of one or two others that might be named , very great consideration for our " ancient ally , " Austria , but comparatively little sympathy for the
wrongs endured by the Hungarians , lor their cities laid waste by the Imperial forces , and by hordes of Cossacks . Thc resolution in his hand was as follows : — " That this meeting , without compromising individual opinions on the subject of war , regard with sincere admiration , respect , and sympathy , the noble determination of the Hungarian nation to maintain intact their just rights and the constitutional independence they have inherited from their fathers , against the tyrannical encroachments of Austrian despotism . " Mr . Cobden was received with great cheering . Ho said , I appear here to-day anxious to add my mite of sympathy to that which you aro prepared to express for the interests of Hungary , and I think it right to explain exactly what my objects
are in coming here . If I have one principle more than another firmly implanted in niy mind , and which I thinkitisfor the interest of this country and of all other countries to _recognise , it is that separate and independent countries should be allowed to regulate their own affairs in the way that seems best to them , without the interference of any other foreign power whatever . ( Cheers . ) I make no exception to this rule . I include in it the right of the Romans ( enthusiastic cheers , and a " cheer for Mazzini , " which was heartily responded to ) . The Hungarians have , I believe , twice driven the _Austrian armies from their territories , and to all intents and purposes , therefore , they stand how in the position of an independent nation . ( Cheers . ) So far , they have proved their power to maintain their
independence against Austria . My object in coming here to day is to protest against an armed intervention , as unjust , as iniquitous , and as infamous as was ever perpetrated . I come here to protest against the Russian hordes pouring down upon the plains of Hungary , and I do it upon the principle that I have already laid down , and as I would have protested against England sending an army to Hungary to fight on the other side . I belong to the peace party , though . I cannot claim for myself the views -which my friend who preceded me has expressed . We may be asked , how can you bring moral force to hear on these armed despots ? I wiU tell you . We can stop the supplies . ( Loud cheers . ) Why Russia can ' t carry on two campaigns beyond her own frontiers without coming to Western Europe for a loan . She
never has done so , without being either subsidized by England or borrowing- money from Amsterdam . Mr . Cobden here entered into a length y account as the resources of Russia , showing the impossibility of that power to carry on a war with any nation without receiving a loan from Western Europe , and continued : will any one dare to come before the citizens of this free country and avow that he has lent his money for the purpose of cutting the throats of the innocent people of Hungary ? ( Loud cheers . ) I have heard sueh a project talked of . But let it only assume a shape , and I promise you that we , the peace party , will have such a meeting as has not yet been held in London , for the purpose of denouncing tiie blood-stained project—for the purpose of pointing the finger of scorn at the house or the
individuals who would employ their money in such a manner—for the purpose of fixing an indelible stigma of infamy upon tho men whoj would lend their money for such a vile , unchristian , and barb-irons purpose . ( Grv * at _chcei-ine . ) That is my UiOr . il iora _. . ( Cheers . * ) As for Austria , no one , ! suppose , would ever think of leading her money . ( Much laughter . ) Way , she has been bankrupt _iTrici _withi-i the last forty years , and now her paper money 13 at a discount of fifteen or sixteen per cent . Surely , then , no one would think of lending her moneT . If Russia should take a step that required England or any other great m _: \ ritiiae power , like lhe Uniitd States , to attack that power , why wc should foil _liks a _thanfleiholt upon her . ( Cheers . ) Fou would in six months crumple that empire np , or drive it in to Us own dreary fastnesses , as I now

crumnle up that piece of paper in my hand . ( Tremendous cheering-. ) . Russia a _. powerful country ! I will tell you what she has . bhe has an" army on mner without a commissariat , anavy without sailors , ' and a military chest without a farthing in it . ( Great cheerio- ** .- ) [ After making some further remarks the hon- member r esumed his seat , amid prolonged _chcerin- _** . ! Mr B . _OsBOR-SE _. -who was received with applause , said that in much of the speech which had been so humanely and well delivered b y the member of the Society of Friends ( Mr . Alexander ) he cordially and fully concurred . Although supporting the principle of arbitration , he would draw a distinction between war undertaken for conquest and defensive wars , undertaken for the preservation of the rights and
liberties of mankind , ihereiore he took tho liberty to say that he did m his conscience believe that a defensive war was a righteous and holy undertaking —( cheers ) ;—and he could fancy no sight more aoreeable to the spirit of justice than a great nation stru _< " * _-ling for its liberties against despotic power . ( Cheers . ) He was not much in the habit of defending her Majesty ' s Ministers —( a laugh)—but he Could not agree with his hon . friend the member for the West Riding of Yorkshire , in the reflection he threw on the Minister for Foreign Affairs for his speech on Saturday . A better speech , more just in its sentiments , and more noble in its aspirations , than thc speech of Lord Palmerston was never delivored . ( Cheers . ) And he must also do thc noble lord the
member for the city ot London the justice to say , that he did not use the term 'insurrection" in a bad sense . ( Hisses and cheers . ) Tho noble lord was the friend of the Hungarian struggle ; and Strange indeed would it have been for one bearing the name of Russell —( A cry : "He is not worthy of it , " and interruption ) , and whose ancestor's blood had flowed on the scaffold in defence of the liberties of his country , were it otherwise . ( Loud cheers . ) Sow , in much that had been said by the member for the West Riding he coincided , but he must take the liberty to say , that in exposing the weakness of _Rossia he had gone rather too far . Forewarned was forearmed , and let them not lay it to their hearts that that great empire was not to be feared ,
but despised . Let it not be forgotten that Russia had lately purchased - £ 5 , 009 , 000 of stock in this country , Mr . Cobden rose to explain . Here was ono of the great impostures of the Russian government , which had not invested one farthing in . English stock . This was a transaction performed by the Bank of St . Petersburgh in consequence of the exchanges having turned greatly in favour of Russia from the sudden and largo demand for her corn from Western Europe . They having this sum , the Emperor , by an ukase explained that this was . an operation of the bank alone . The government had nothing to do with it , and he did not know how it was that we persisted in believing that Russia was
always better than she really was . Mr . Osborne accepted the explanation of his hon . friend , but he ( Mr . Osborne ) asked the meeting if they thought a power which felt no scruple in overwhelming Hungary would have any scruple in breaking faith with the public fundholder ? After a flowing eulogium upon " that great man , _Louis-Kossuth" ( at the mention of whose name the whole meeting rose , and cheered vociferously as they subsequently did upon an allusion being made to General Bem ) the hon . member proceeded to denounce the ; atrocities committed by the Russian and Austrian generals in Hungary . He hoped that something tangible would result from this meeting—not a mere protest by words , but that they would show ,
by putting their hands into their pockets , that their hearts were engaged in the cause . ( Cheers . ) They had already shown their liberality by contributing money for the support of people who were dying of famine . Hc knew of no distinction of colour or of people , and he thought they might with equally good reason . assist a great poople who were struggling with despotism , for he believed that famine that killed the man was scarcely more disastrous than the despotism which wound round the spirit of a man and debased him to the condition of a " Serf . It would be better to be the starving wretch in the west of Ireland than thc well-fed slave under the -paternal government of Austria or Russia . ( Cheers . ) He appealed , then , to the citizens of London , bythe bombardment of Tienna and Pesth—as apostles of commercial freedom , for the tariff- of Hungary was
free , whilst the tariff of Austria was exclusive—he appealed to them as the lovers of constitutional government , for Hungary had " a free parliament , and the Hungarians were all enfranchised—he appealed to them as the haters of war , and of the cruelty which flogged ladies at Presburg , and shot prisoners of war—above all , he appealed to them as Christian men to give not only their assistance , but to manifest their horror and detestation of the cruel proceedings that were now devastating the plains of Hungary , and which would substitute a heartless and crushing despotism in the place of a free and constitutional government . ( Great cheering . ) The hon . member concluded by moving : " That this meeting view with detestation and horror the barbarous modes in whieh the war now raging in Hungary is prosecuted by the Austrian authorities and generals , and consider their conduct to merit the indignant reprobation of all parties . "
Lord _oiioEST had pride and pleasure m expressing his concurrence , not only with the terms of the resolution he would have the honour of ' supporting , but with every word ofthe speech ofhis hon . friend who had just sat down . It was not long since that an appeal had been made to tho generosity of their fellow-countrymen , which had been nobly responded to ; but that day an appeal would bo made to still higher and more elevated feelings . They would appeal from the government , if it were slack , to the people—the masters of the government- ¦( _cheersjand they would insist that government should no longer discountenance the cause of liberty in Hungary by refusing to recognise _^ tho nationality ofthat country . Inthe whole course of history , from the time when the Greeks drove back the hordes of discomfited barbarians from tho waters of Salamis and the plains of Marathon , there was never a
clearer case of liberty contending with despotism than that ofthe Hungarian struggle . The Emperor of Austria , who wss King of Hungary by virtue of five treaties , spread over a space of 300 years , had marched a powerful army into an independent state , and it was not until then that the Hungarians established a constitution for themselves , by which serfdom was abolished , and civil and religious liberty was secured . Cowley said there were two kinds of tyranny ; one , ex malo titulo , and the other , ex malo exerdtis . In both senses Francis Joseph was the'tyraofc , and not the King of Hungary . ( Cheers . ) They should not look for guidance on this question from a weak government , or a prostituted press ; but , as Englishmen , should think for themselves , and speak their sentiments before all Europe . ( Loud cheers . ) Thc _CuMR-MAH put the two resolutions , which were carried unanimously .
Mr . G . W . M . _Reynolds next addressed the meeting . He avowed his belief that in so holy , sacred , and solemn a cause , England must even go to war in defenee of Hungary if necessary . ( This assertion was received with such hearty choeringas proved that the speaker had expressed the sentiments of the vast body ofthe meeting . ) All thc moral efforts of that meeting ( continued Mr . Reynolds ) would be perfectly useless unless they were prepared to go further . If the government would employ some of the ships that were now rotting in our harbours , and some ofthe troops now marching about London , that would really benefit the Hungarians . ( Cheers . ) France used to be regarded as a barrier against Russia , but she was no longer so . ( Tremendous cheers , andthreo hearty groans for Louis _Napoleon . )
Mr . R . _Ta-exok having heen requested , as an old citizen of London , to move a resolution , expressed his delight at seeing thc earnestness of the meeting , because ho had observed with regret for some time past a public apathy on this subieet , produced by the deceitful conduct of the public press . Mr . Taylor then moved the following resolution : — ¦ That this meeting regard the military intervention of Russia in the afiairs of Hungary as wholly _un-justifiable in reason and in fact , inasmuch as , besides re-opening and prolonging a sanguinary contest which had already boen virtually decided , it is a gross violation ofthe law of nations—the indefeasible rights of Hungary—and perilous tothe peace , the freedom , and tho general welfare of Europe . "
Air . Monckton milnes , M . P _., said , he trusted that the interpretation given outside to even the diversities of opinion expressed that day would be this , that gentlemen who on other subjects differed as far as the poles asunder — from the gentleman who had in so pacific a tone opened the meeting , to the gentleman who had addressed them in the spirit ofa crusader—were yet i . i one accord on that Hungarian question . ( Loud cheers . ) He was glad at having that resolution in particular entrusted to him , because whatever might be his opinions with respect to the question as between Austria and Hungary , and whatever might be the opinion of others , yet all must agree that Russian intervention had damnified that cause , whatever else of good it might have in it . ( Hear , hoar . ) It was a violation
ofthe law of nations , because that law went on the principle that states should keep themselves within themselves , and free from the intervention of other powers . ( Cheers . ) The effect of the Russian intervention in Hungary would be the disturbance of _European treaties , and eve-- - uf thc treatv cf Vienna . For why was Luuibardy , with its chain o ' f fortresses ! ceded to Austria by the treaty of Vienna ? Because it was thought , and justly , ' that it would bo well that thero should be in the centre of Europe a "reat military power to stand between the east and ° west of Europe . Sow if Austria , chose to be dependent on Russia , and to be no longer a barrier _against Russia , then the principle of the treatv of Vienna was violated , for Austria was placed there as independent Austria ; but ( Austria as a subsidiary of Russia , had no right to be there at all . ( Loud ch L _l _, J - _W 0 "ld » 05 allude-to another point which had been the subject of _disgussion-that was

the conduct of the English press m treating with foreign affairs : / - ( Hear . ) He trusted they would not be angry ' with him for saying that all that had _beeiispolieii about the Times , aiid other journals , fell much more heavily on the English poople than on the press . ( Hear , hear . ) For the public journals , partly leading and partly guiding public opinion would not have acted , the part they had , if they . W not thought that the public- agreed with them . Let them only stand up and show their opinions _, and the press would follow them . ( Cheers . ) lib was heartily glad of that meeting , because it displayed a feeling whicli refuted the ; supposition that the English people were becoming lndirlercnt to their position as freemen . ( " No , no . " ) Some disf Russia
cussion had taken place about the power o . He suspected that the truth lay between the two _extremes ; and that while Russia - was not tobe feared , neither was she to be despised In conclusion . he begged to remind them that there were sixty Hungarian officers and soldiers now at Folkstone who needed assistance to enable . them to rc-S 3 fight for the cause of their country a cause in which they , as Englishmen , were ™} only justified , but bound to sympathise , _(^ ouu Ch £ ord D . Stuart said , he did not think it would be necessary for him to employ more than afew words in obtaining their support to the resolution he was going to move , which was- " That the English _e-overnment do immediately recognise the
independence of Hungary . " ( Loudcheers . ) Itwassaiaoy the enemies of Hungary that they had no sympathy with the present movement , because the Hungarians were struggling to establish a Red Republic ; and they also put forward another reason—that the government of Hungary was carried on for the benefit ofthe aristocracy . Now ho there deniedhaving studied the subject carefully—the truth of both those accusations . ( Cheers . ) What the _Hungarians were striving to retain and defend was their own constitution , which they had enjoyed for the last 800 years , and which was more like the constitution of this country than any other that had been established . They had their Kings , their Lords , and Commons—these they were now . struggling for
—they did not demand more , and they would not be satisfied with anything less . ( Cheers . ) " It w . 13 true the franchise was formerly extended only to the nobles . Now the nobles were a very different class to that which was known by the same name in this country . ( Cheers . ) Ifc was so large that it ought rather tobe compared to the class of electors which existed hero previously to the passing of the Reform Bill . ( Cheers . ) But the Hungarians were not satisfied , with that body ; they demanded some reform , and they at last got substituted for that privilege of birth , whieh entitled only about 100 , 000 to vote , a property qualification such as we ourselves possessed . They now had £ 10 householders and freeholders , as wc had . There were two reasons
for expressing their sympathy with Hungary : first , because of allcoun tries in the world it was the most remarkable for its attachment to religious liberty and , secondly , because ifc had carried out the principles of free trade . ( Cheers . ) He did not find fault with the old Tories in tho House of Lords , who had grown grey in opposing the liberties of the people , stauding up in defence of Austria ; nor was hesvrprised that a noble lord should come down to the House of Commons to defend his uncle , Lord Aberdeen ; and denounce that great and good man now at the head of Hungary , as the " infamous Kossuth —( shame)—but he did denounce those who were once professed Liberals , for forsakingtheirprineiples and aiding the cause of despotism . ( Cheers . ) Ho was rcioiced to see tho manner in which the name
of General Bem had been received . ( Cheers . ) But a short time ago that gallant man wa 3 a poor despised Polish refugee in this country , dependent upon a small pittance supplied to him by the Polish Association . Hc was suffering at the time from an old wound , but his poverty not enabling him to receive proper medical assistance at his own residence , he was compelled to seek relief in the University Hospital , where the late Dr . Listoh succeeded in extracting a ball from his body which lie had received while defending Poland against Russia , and ho had lived to return to his native country of Galicia , to lead on the _Hnn-jarians to freedom and victory . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) The Austrians took delight in boasting ofthe conquests and gallantry of their generals in Italy ; hut when they came to meet armies headed by Bern and Dembinski , they were so triumphantly vanquished that they
were forced to seek _reiuge m the territories ot a neutral country , and call in the aid of Russian barbarians . ( Cheers . ) Russia , no doubt , had immense numbers of troops at her command ; but let them remember that from Xerxes down to Napoleon ; the right ofthe few had overcome the . tyranny of the multitude , and , however somo people might despair , he for one had full confidence in the ultimate success ofthe Hungarian cause . ( Cheers . ) The noblo lord concluded by proposing the following resolution ' . — " That the immediate recognition oftho government de facto of the kingdom of Hungary , by this country , is ' no loss demanded by considerations ofjusfcice and policy , and the commercial interests ofthe two states , than with a view of putting a , stop to the effusion of human blood , and of terminating the fearful atrocities which mark tho progres ofthe _Austro-Russiun armies . "
Mr . Cassel , in seconding the resolution , said he looked with much anxiety to the result of that day's proceedings , for he wished tbat the expression of their opinion should not only influence the press of this country , but should penetrate even into Hungary . He believed that the letter which appeared in the Times , denouncing tho Hungarians , was the chief cause of that meeting being held . ( Hoar , hear . ) But whatever might be written by the Times , that meeting , and _othei' 3 of a similar character , would convince the Hungarians that the sympathies of the English people were with them . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Mo watt , M . P ., then moved thc adoption of a petition to the House of Commons , founded on the foregoing resolutions , which was seconded by Mr . . Tosepu _Coope-r .
In consequence of loud and repeated calls from the great body of the meeting , Julian Harney came forward , and spoke at considerable length . His speech called forth thc most enthusiastic applause ; particularly when hc complained that the petition did not go far enough in omitting the demand for armed intervention 111 behalf of Hungary . At the conclusion ofhis speech J . n . was warmly congratulated by a nnmber of Hungarians , Poles , Germans , & c . The petition was then adopted . Lord Dudley Stuart moved the adoption of a petition , similar to the foregoing , to the House of Lords , which was seconded by Mr . Mowatt , M . P , and duly carried .
Tho Hon . Augustus Moretox moved , and Lord D . _Stuaut seconded , a vote of thanks to Alderman Salomons for his conduct in the chair , which having been passed , the meeting terminated at half-past five o ' clock .
To The Delegates About To Assemble In Co...
TO THE DELEGATES ABOUT TO ASSEMBLE IN CONFERENCE AT SNIG'S END . Gextlemem , —You are about to assemble on very important business ; on your decision will rest the solution of a most important question : one on which tlio future well-doing of tho working classes mainl y depends . To a great extent , you are about to decide the morality of the Future . Pause and reflect , then , on the sacrcdncss of thc trust reposed in you . To assist you in your reflections and deliberations , I respectfully and submissively offer a few remarks . I assume that tho object for whicli the Land Plan was instituted was of a two-fold character—the attainment of political power for the working classes , and the amelioration of their social condition . Without attempting the solution of the
question , whether the possession of political power should precede social improvement , or this be used as the leverage to that , it suffices for our argument , that the Land Plan tends to tho accomplishment of the two-fold results . Its tendency to this end is not the . less because its founder is calumniated , his project derided and misrepresented , and its supporters vilified and persecuted . Comparisons from memory or from history would bo equally superfluous . If , then , this position is , as I take it , incontrovertible , how important , how urgently necessary is it , that you maturely consider every question bearing upon this interesting subject . Yes , gentlemen , * on the wise determination of your counsels in the forthcoming Conference will depend the
success or failure of one of the most interesting experiments the working classes wero over ongagad in . The holy object of that experiment is , to decide whether man ' s labour , employed by himself , can be made profitable for himself , without the intervention of the master ' s control and capital . Will you aid in realising the affirmation of this question ? Then , by somo legal instruments , secure to your allocated brethren the fruits of tlieir industry , even though you should thereby place in abeyance the apparently distinct , but immediate and temporary interest ofthe great body of subscribers . But , say you , the located members are dissatisfied , idle , and improvident , and do not merit our consideratcness . Be not too hasty , gentlemen , to condemn the allottees on the evidence of persons envious of their
position , or inimical to the causo you have at heart . Nay , move , I implore you not to condemn the allottees , even on tho evidence furnished in their complaints of , and impntience _undoi-, tho difficulties resulting from a new mode of lite . For , if you place others in the same position , surrounded by tho same circumstances , tlio same consequences _tnusfc naturally follow . But not merely for them do I plead . On behalf of the principle involved , for the sake of the experimental question at stake * I exhort you ' to give confidence to the hopes , and security to the industry , of your allocated brothers . Do this at any cost , should circumstances determine you to sell the Estates . For , mark ! purchasers of tho properties will not be found among men who are looking for the investment of capital , but amongst those who will be too happy to buy m c-rdortobreak up the Land Plan , and thereby _bff tno hopes S
To The Delegates About To Assemble In Co...
bli « -ht tho prospects of tho working classes . But should the result of your deliberations bo , that it is unnecessary to dispose of the Estates , still I would up- * upon vou not to retire * from your duties until you have secured to . the allottees , under equitable arrangements , a legal claim' . upon thoir holdings . Hitherto I have avoided details , but one or two particulars may , I think , be urged , tO . domOBStl'atG llOW much of even the presentInterest of the subscribers would be promoted by the adoption of such a course . If the allottees had leases , or some other the
_loiral security , the obstacles to the , selling of rilht of location would be removed , and a considerable source of income be'thereby opened ; a better chance given for the successful trying ofthe nan , bythe admission of men whose tastes and means may have led them to adopt an agricultural lite ; and an opportunitv afforded for the withdrawal ol those allottees whose habits are averse to a rural life , whose industry may not be adequate to raise their means to their wants , " ov whose hopes of the future may not he of that buoyant character to induce them to reduce their present wants to their
means . , As far as I have yet gone I have considered the subject as it bears , in my humble view , upon the interest ofthe great bulk , of the subscribers ; I have , therefore , Gentlemen , appealed to your wisdom . But I have now , in as concise terms as possible , to address myself to your virtue , in pleading for justice to the allottees ; for next to being just to ourselves is the virtue of being just to others . " Justice to the allottees ! " says the man whose obduracy of feeling makes him insensible to the privations resulting from the failure of the crops , the casualties of the seasons , and the inadaptation to a newemployment- " yes the lazy hounds , I would be iust bv turning them adrift , and placmi _f other men What the envious
in their occupations . " says man , who constantly bites his nails that he was not succesful in the ballot ? " Away with them , and give place to men like me . " Yes , gentle friends , the ruggedness ofthe pathways to competence has been mown down , and you would like , of course , to complacently walk on the even road to case and plenty . ' Yes , Gentlemen , - justice demands that you secure to the allottees the fruits of their industry ; for there is not a man . who can prove the least claim to an industrious character , hut has added some value to—has , in some degree , enhanced the worth of—the allotment committed to his charge . How unjust , then , to deprive him of the advantages he hopes to derive from his improv ements , and his outlay ; what an Irish landlordism would bo thereby
perpetrated I Of oourso the enhanced value given to , and the amount of outlay expended on , the allotments , will vary with the means and other circumstances ofthe holders . By way of illustration I . will adduce my own case , and I do this in full confidence that my motive will be rightly appreciated . It is not to make a v ain display of my very humble pecuniary means , or to boast ofthe extent of my outlay ; nor , on the other hand , do I make appeal to any one ' s commiseration . My case , like those of my fellowallottees , requires neither pity nor charity ;—it demands justice . I produce my own , for the obvious reason , that I have no right to make parade of other people ' s circumstances . Premising that I am an allottee by purchase , and that I bought a few-weeks after allocation took place , I proceed to furuish you with an abstract of my receipts and expenditure from taking possession until the present time .

H * M ' _trl « _EiM In tho above stntement is not included the value of my own labour , which I' have bestowed , with little * interruption , but , I boldly assert , with much assiduity , since June , 1848 , the period at which I left an employment of fourteen years in London , and havo since devoted myself to tho cultivation of my allotment . The value of my labour I place as a set-off against that of my growing crops . But there is another item , which I nave not yet givenviz ., that which I gave for the right of location . Thus , then , will stand the account between me and my allotment : — £ s . d . By amount of purchase . . 34 0 0 By balance of Aid money had by my predecessor COO By balance due to me oti general account . G 2 14 81
Total .... 102 14 8 "; The books from which the foregoing abstracts havo boon t _* _ikon I am willing to submit to examination , in order to test their accuracy . And now , gentlemen , the amount of money here set forth as expended , comprises thc savings of many years of strict economy and _rigid frugality . Will you , by stamping my industry with legal security , give encouragement to perseverance in tho employment of these virtues , or , by disregarding my obvious claims to justice , and also those of my fellow allottee ** , deprive me and them of incentives to future industry and other excellencies , make us the laughing stock of our opponents , and damn the hopes of our follow working-men ? In your hands , gentlemen , is placed the morality of " my future character , and that of tho characters of my fellow allottees .
With all that deference which a man shouldfecl in the enunciation of his opinions , and that respect which is due to a body of men representing the interests and wishes of so many thousands of my fellow men , I subscribe myself , Gentlemen , Your very obedient and humble servant , Thomas Ikelaxd .

Thunderstorm And Loss Of Life. On Thursd...
THUNDERSTORM AND LOSS OF LIFE . On Thursday afternoon , shortly before two o ' clock , the metropolis was visited by one of the most terrific thunderstorms which has occurred since August 1846 During the continuance of the storm , tiie rain fell in torrents , at the ' same time the wind blew a perfect hurricane . Much damage was dona to the shipping and small craft lying in the river . In several instances houses were damaged and persons killed . At 7 , Duke-street , Stamford-street , Blackfriavs-voad , occupied by Mr . Tucker , the parapet wall was struck by the electric fluid , and the ceiling on . the second -floor v > as much damaged by breakage , the bell wires being wrenched down by the
lightning , the fluid running along them entirely through the house . The house of Mr . A . Middleton , Thomas-street , Commercial-road East , was also struck , the roof in % great measure stripped off . and the chimney-pots and side walls damaged . In Holywell-street , Strand , at Mr . Harland ' s , bookbinder , so forcibly did the electric fluid pass down the chimney , that it filled the room 9 with soot and escaped through an open window without doing any injury to the parties in the room . Near to the goods station of the Eastern Counties Railway a young man , apparently about 25 years of age , who had just reached the door to look at the rain , which was falling in torrents , was struck to the earth dead . Two other fatal accidents occurred , besides most serious damage being done in different parts of London .
_FunruEB Particulars . — The house , No . 12 , Poland-street , Oxford-street , in the occupation of Mr . Channon , was struck by the electric fluid , entirely destroying the back part of the premises . The chief of the massive brickwork , several tons weight , fell into the composing-rooinof Mr . Schultz , printer , No . 13 , adjoining , where ten compositors were ' at work , who fortunately escaped uninjured . One man was so terribly alarmed that he leaped out of the second-floor window . A projecting outhouse byoke his fall , or he must have been dashed to pieces ; as it was he only sustained a few bruises . About half-past two , immediately following a heavy chip of thunder , a barge , in whicu wore two men , was seen to founder off Nine Elms , Boats put off , but before assistance could reach thein . tlio poor fellows sunk and were drowned .
( _Ihree of a flock of sheep grazing in a field at Green-lane , West-end , belonging to Mr . Lambutt . wove found dead , having been struck by li htnin' ** . So great was the devastation among _thefevthercd tribe that in thc vicinity of Kenuiiigton and Cambevwell dead sparrows were to be seen hint- at almost ovary _stoji A man named Skinner , living in rnnce ' s-road , picked up 130 . St . * Paul ' s Church , Covent-garden , was struck by the electric fluid in several parts . ... A man named Catty , residing at leystone i _Esacs

went to an _ouibouse to feed a calf , when both he andthe animal were struck by thc fluid and wero instantly killed . 'At the same time another man was struck dead in Tyaon-strcct ,. Bcfchnal-grecn .. Ifo seemed at first only dazzled with the flash , and staggored on a few paces , when ho fell . headlong , and was picked up a corpse . In John-street , _CommcroiuU'oad-east , the fluid struck a stack of chimneys , rendin- _* - them asunder , and passed into the kitchen , where two infants were at play . They fortunately sustained ' no injury . A very scandalous sort of traffic is being carried on in the case of a man named Johnson , who wft 3 . killed by the electric fluid , while standing at his door talking to a young man , in West-street , Whitechapei , whose person is exposed at a penny per head to the lovers of the hideous and the horriblo . It is said that tho father , who is tho exhibitor on the occasion , has already realisediipwards of £ 7 by this wretched and heartless exhibition .
Execution Ot "Ward The Murderer.-—Oh Fri...
Execution ot "Ward the Murderer .- —Oh Friday John Ward was executed at Lincoln Castle . He was tried at the assizes on the 17 th inst ., and found guilty of the wilful murder of his mother . On Monday last he confessed that he shot his mother intentionally , and gave as his reason her interference with him about Susan Bogg , the servant . An immense crowd had gathered m the streets to view the execution ; and jokes and oaths , mixed with obscene language , were plentiful . He walked briskly up the steps of the drop , and in less than a minute from his first appearance all was over , except- his convulsive agonies : he struggled violently for above two minutes , and evidently suffered ver y much . A . boy in the crowd fainted away when the drop fell _. There were at least 10 , 000 persons present , a gre at number consisting of women .
Frightful Accident oh the Blackwall Railway . — ¥ or 6 ome timo past , John Lakey , a stone mason , and several other men , have been engaged in clearing out the ditches wliich run alongside the railway at Poplar . _On Friday morning , at twenty Minutes to twelve o ' clock , Lakey was _proceeding along the line , between the two lines of railway , when the train was perceived coming towards the West India Dock Station , from Blackwall . The unfortunate man turned round and siw that the engine was close upon him , and instead of stepping on to the line out of the way of the engine , he suddenly jumped upon the rails on wliich the train was . The act was
so sudden , that . before the engineer could stop the engine , it struck him on the breast and forced him upon the rail . The whole of the carriages passed over his head arid chest , and killed hira on the spot , He has left a wife and five young childrcn _i who were entirely depending on him for support . * City of London Election . —On Friday the' Lord Mayor , Sir James Duke , was elected without opposition to represent the City in parliament .
