      thc people or their wants , censuring , by retrospective criticism , measures of legislation which he had tahen no pains at thc 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 . Horsnian , who , hc observed , had suggested no practical remedy -which had not beeu debated over and over again , government could , at best , only offer palliatives , and these had been ottered with no niggard hand Mr . Horemnn had asked what hope there was lor the future ? First , there was a prospect of a noun-SfLm't-srsrsu . ' .

Horsmanhad no connexion Slrcland . It was because hiswant of knowledge rfhSd wascountervailed by lnsfitaessto bean S » an of dissatisfaction . It ^ w «* W > Seme of caustics that that gentleman excelled ; St session he tadlpronouncedahu h encomium Sn £ oriClarendonVand had extended Lis enlogy ii the Erst Minister of the Crown , achuowledging that < reat allowance should be made for the difficulties with which the government had to contend . And who would say that they were not entitled to

      eueh allowance for difficulties almost msurmountablc ? Yet Mr . Uorsman 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" the benevolent intentions of parliament" had not been realised ; and if faults had hecn . committed , they were as nothing compared with the relief which had heen afforded—the millions of lives saved by the generosity of England . Then Mr . Horsman found fault with the permanent measures . The government had to choose between the poor-house and the charnel-house , and they chose the former . Mr , Horsman proposed to devise a legislation that should he . " at once solid , profound , and regenera tive . " He did not venture to discuss this unathomnUe legislation , hut 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'Goemas Mahox the dehate was adjourned until Tuesday , and , after some further business , the House adjourned at twelve o ' clock .

      TUESDAY , Jew 24 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —In this House a great number of bills were advanced a stage , amongst them was the Poor Relief ( Ireland ) . Bill as amended or damaged rather by the Peers , Lord SxAXtEr repeated his objections to the practice of sending up a shoal of bills at the close of the session which they had scarcely time to read—consideration was out of tbe question . Earl Gket admitted the justice of the complaint , hut said it was quite fifty years old , and hc believed the inconvenience was inseparable from the 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- ] At the close of the sitting their Lordships adjourned to Wednesday , thus giving themselves an extra day , to keep pace with the bills sent up from the Commons .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —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 re-assembled . Anew writ was ordered for the borough of Boston , in the room of Sir James Duke , who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds . Ragged School Emigration . —Lord Ashlet brought before the House the state of a portion of the mvenile population of the metropolis , and moved ,

      * 'That it is expedient that means be annually provided 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 ragged 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 stron gly urged tie neeessfty of adopting some course for the promotion of the voluntary emigration of such persons .

      Sir G . 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 it was to be hoped would raise the colonies to the condition which it w .-is wished to see them placed , he could not sanction the proposition ef 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 consisting of the children of honest parents , labourers , and artisans who had peculiar claims on the benevolence of tbe countrv .

      Mr . P . Wood considered that it would be highlv desirable if some plan could be devised hy which orphan children , when they left the workhouse , could hs sent to the colonies . He would consent to a slight encouragement from the state to jagged schools , bul lie was satisfied the moment that was exceeded , the } would paralyse all eff jrts of individual charity . Lord Ashley replied , that seeing the sense of tht House was against him , he would withdraw Ms motion . Afpairs op Guiaxa . —Mr . Hume then proceeded to make his promised statement with reference to the affairs of liritish Guiana , and submitted a motion to the effect that the time had arrived when the publie expenditure of the colony should be reduced , and that a local responsible government should be founded therein to decide upon the extent of their establishments , and to provide the meausfor paying Hie same .

      Mr . H . Baiixie and Mr . Hawes followed , after which , Mr . Stuabt moved the adjournment of thc debate . Mr . Hcme replied to certain arguments of Mr . Hawes , and after a few observations from Mr . Disraeli the House divided , when the motion for adjourning the debate was negatived hy a majority of 77 , the numbers 17 to 94 . So sooner was the gallery re-opened at twelve o ' clock than the question was put by the Speaker that the House do adjourn , wliich was at once agreed to amidst much laughter . WEDNESDAY , July 25 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Their lordships sat an hour and a half , and forwarded bills as usual . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-The House met at twelve o ' clock .

      The order of the dayfor the adjourned debate upon the state of Ireland was discharged , Mr . Horsman intimating that he should renew the motion next session . The Bankrupt and Insolvent Members Bill was withdrawn , and the Smoke Prohibition Bill experienced iu effect the same fate . The Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Bill , on the third reading , underwent some amendments . Amongst the hills read a third time and passed were the Clergy Relief Bill and the Protection of Women . Bill , the latter not without renewed opposition and a division .

      The House then , went into committee upon 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 by the Attorney-General and the other members of the Select Committee . . The consideration of the details of this bill occupied nearly aU the remainder of the day . Mr . MnvxEs brought in a bill for the Reformation ef Juvenile Offenders . The House adjourned at six o ' clock .

      THURSDAY , Jdxy 26 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord Beat / most presented a petition respecting the war now raging in Hungary , but abstained from saying anything which might provoke a discussion on the subject . On the motion that the Pilotage Bill be read a second time , Lord Ellekboeough moved , ag an amendment , that the bill he read a second time that day three months . On a division the numbers were—Por the amendment 10—Against It 15 : Mrjority against it 5 . The bill was then read a second time .

      Theotber business was disposed of , and their lordships adjourned . The HOUSE OF COMMONS met at one o ' clock a A considerable cumber of bills were read a third tune and passed ,, and others were advanced a . stage . The Baskboptcv Laws Consolidation Bill , as amended , was then considered and agreed to , but "Without some discussioii , daring-the progress of which Sir James Graham , Mr .

      kn ^ encd speech moved for papers -relating to the Un fcSi ? Y secon ded the motion . A brief discussion ensued , after which the motion ^ The House immediately afterwards adjourned . ( From our Third Edition of lost week . ) ¦ FRIDAY , July 20 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Several bills passed their stages without debate . Italt . — Lord Brougham proceeded in pursuance of his notice , and in a speech of between two and three hours' duration , to bring the subject of thc affairs of Italy under consideration , concluding by moving : — " 1 . That it is thc right and was the duty of the government to require and to obtain from foreign powers satisfactory explanations of those recent movements in the Italian States which tend to

      unsettle the existing distribution of territory , and to endanger the general peace . " 2 . . That it is inconsistent with the general interests and duty of this country to interfere in the concerns of foreign nations , as between their governments and their subjects . " 3 . That this House regrets to observe in the conduct of the government , particularly as shown b y the papers laid before parliament , a want of friendly feeling towards allies to whom we are hound by treaty and by mutual acts of goodwill . "

      The noble and learned lord was replied to by the Earl of Carlisle , thc speakers in succession being Lord Hetiesbdrt , but whose observations were all but inaudible in t , he gallery ; the Earl of Mxnio , who was also very imperfectly heard ; the Earl of Abebdeen , the Marquis of Lassoowxe , and Lord Staxlet . After a reply from Lord Brougham , The motion was negatived by a majority of 12 , the numbers , including- proxies , being uGtolOS ; and their lordships adjourned at half-past four o ' clock this morning .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tho House met at twelve o ' clock . The question of the second readin g of the Pilotage Bill led to a debate ; after which the bill was read a second time , committed pro forma , amendments made , and bill to be re-committed on Monday next , at twelve o clock . Tho House then went into committee on the Poor-law Union Charges Act Amexd-MExr Bill ; and on arriving at the emigration clause , the sum of £ 10 per head was substituted for £ 15 , as contemplated by the clause . Mr , Woon moved a clause relative to the education of pauper children , to which Mr . Bainks stated several

      objections , at the same time observing that he fully appreciated the motives of benevolence which had prompted the hon . and learned gentleman in submitting it . On a . division the clause was negatived by a majority of 41 , the numbers 13 to 54 . An amendment of Mr . Hetwood ' s for extending the operation of the bill to " Gilbert ' s Unions , " was adopted ; one by Captain Pechell , relative to the repayments of sums on account of relief by one parish _ or union to another , in certain cases , was negatived without a division , and the bill p assed through committee , when the House temporarily adjourned .

      On its resuming at six o ' clock . Mr . Laboochebe , in reply to Mr . Denison , withdrew the Railway Audit Bill for this session , Mabbiace Bill . —Mr . J . S . Woriley answered Mr . CoDLBuns to the effect that he should endeavour to pass the Marriage Bill this session ; but that event must be dependent on the state of the business before the House . On the order of the day for going into committee of Ways and Means being read , Mr . Hebries rose and called the attention of the

      House io the condition of the public revenue as stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , and in connexion therewith to the expediency of derivin g an addition to the national resources from a fixea duty on the importation of foreign corn , but concluded without submitting any substantive motion .

      To The Delegates About To Assemble L\ T ...

      TO THE DELEGATES ABOUT TO ASSEMBLE L \ T CONFERENCE AT SNIG'S END . Gentlemen , — -You are about to assemble on very important business ; on your decision will rest the solution of a most important question : one on which the future well-doing of the working classes mainly depends . To a great extent , you are about to decide the morality of the Future . Pause and reflect , then , on the sacredness of the trust reposed iu you . To assist you in your reflections and deliberations , I respectfully and submissively offer a few remarks . I assume that the object for which 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 he used as the leverage to tliat , it suffices for our argument , that the Land Plan tends to the accomplishment of the two-fold results . Its tendency to this end is not the less because its founder is calumniated , bis project derided and misrepresented , and its supporters vilified and persecuted . Comparisons from memory or from history . would be 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 thc most interesting

      experiments the working classes were ever engaged 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 thc master ' s control and capital . "Will you aid in realising the affirmation of this question ? Then , by some legal instruments , secure to your allocated brethren the fruits of their 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 oiir considorateness . Be not too hasty , gentlemen , to condemn the allottees on the evidence of persons envious of their

      position , or inimical to thc cause you have at heart , Nay , more , I implore you not to condemn the allot * tees , even on the evidence furnished in their complaints of , and impatience under , the difficulties resulting from a new mode of life . Por , if you place others in the same position , surrounded by the same circumstances , the same consequences must 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 . Por , mark ! purchasers of the 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 in order to break up the Laud Plan , and thereby blast the hopes and blight the prospects of the working classes . But should the result of your deliberations be , that it is unnecessary to dispose of the Estates , still I would urge upon you not to retire from your duties until you have secured to the allottees , under equitable arrangements , a legal claim upon their holdings . Hitherto I Lave avoided details , but one or two particulars may , I think , he urged , to demonstrate how much of even thc present interest of the subscribers would he promoted * hy the adoption of such a

      course . If the allottees had leases , or some other legal security , the obstacles to the selling of the right of location would be removed , and a considerable source of income be thereby opened ; a better chance given for the successful trying of the Plan , by the admission of men whose tastes and means may have led them to adopt an agricultural life ; and an opportunity afforded for the withdrawal of those allottees whose habits are averse to a rural life , whose industry may not be adequate to raise their means to their wants , or whose hopes of the future may not be 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 hare , therefore , Gentlemen , appealed to your wisdom . But I hare 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 1 says the man whose obduracy of feeling makes him insensible to the privations resulting from the failure of the crops , the casualties ofthe seasons , and the iaadaptatiou to . a new employment—" yes , the lazy hoands , I wouldhe just , by turning them adrift , and placing other men

      in their occupations ., " "What says the envious man . who constantly biteshis nails that he was not SUCCCS ful in the ballot ? " Away with them , and give place to men . like me . " Yes , gentle friends , theruggedness ofthe pathways to competence has been mown down , and you would like , of course , to complacently walk on the even road to ease and plenty ! Yes , Gentlemen , justice demands that you secure to the allotteesthe fruits of their industry ; for there is not a man , who can prove the least claim to an . industrious character , but 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 improvements , and his outlay ; what an Irish landlordism would be thereb y perpetrated J

      To The Delegates About To Assemble L\ T ...

      Of course the enhanced value given to , and the amount of outlay expended on , the allotments , will vary with the means and other circumstances of the holders . By way of illustration I will adduce my own ease , and I do this in full confidence 'that -my ' motive will be rightly appreciated . It is not to make a vain 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 furnish you with an abstract of my receipts and expenditure from taking possession until the present time . ^ "I" * ««> « -a s | 3 ,:. si * » cv , g ¦ s

The value of my labour I place as a set-off against that of my growing crops . But there is another item , which I have not yet givenviz ., that which I gave for the right of location .

Will you , by stamping my industry with legal security , give encouragement to perseverance in the employment of these virtues , or , by disregarding my obvious claims to justice , and also those of my fellow allottees , 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 fellow working-men ? In- your hands , gentlemen , is placed , the morality of my future character , and that of the characters of my * fellow allottees . With all that deference which a man shouldfeel in the enunciation of his opinions , and that respect which is duo 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 Ireland . < Yf ! nnnn > 'uill /» ¦ Ri ^ Vmnnewnrfh .

      Hungarian Independence. On Monday A Crow...

      HUNGARIAN INDEPENDENCE . On Monday a crowded meeting was held in the large room ofthe London Tavern , " for the purpose of expressing sympathy with that noble , maligned , » nd betrayed people , the Hungarians ; also for vindicating tlie 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 at one o ' clock . Among tho 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 . Norreys , 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 Salwcy , M . P ., Sir J . Walmsley , M . P ., Mr . J . B . Smith , M . P ., Mr . Wyld , M . P . Mr . W . Scholefield , M . P ., Sir E . Oolebrooke , M . P ., Captain Townsend , M . P ., Mr . J . Kershaw , M . P ., Mr . W . Williams , & e . 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 in a meeting like the present was one of considerable responsibility , but his responsibility was greatly lessened since the debate in the Houseof Commons

      on Saturday —( cheers ) , —which would carry to thc 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 Tunes , thc Chairman said , he deeply regretted that a journal which 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 it professed last week . ( Hisses and laughter . ) The Chairman read letters from Lord Beaumont and the Marquis of Sligo , expressing their regret that their Parliamentary duties would not allow them to be present . He also stated that ho had received letters from several members ofthe House of Commons to the same effect .

      Mr . G . W . Albxasder 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 the tone of tho remarks made by the leading journal , and those remarks had been another motive for him in taking 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 on 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 , for their cities laid waste by the Imperial forces , and by hordes of Cossacks . The 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 . He said , I appear here to-day anxious to add my mite of sympathy to that which you are prepared to express for the interests of Hungary ; and I think it ri ght to explain exactly what my objects are in coming here . If I have one principle more than another firmly implanted in my 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 Komans ( 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 now 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 hereto day ia to protest against an armed

      intervention , as unjust , ae iniquitous , and as infamous ' as was ever perpetrated . Icome 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 u'ould 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 J force to 'bear ' on these armed despots ? I wiu tell you " . ' ' We can stop the supplies . ( Loud cheers . ) Why Russia can ' t oarry on two campaigns beyond her o wn frontiers without coming to Western Europe for a loan ' Sfle never has done so , ifiihout being either subsidized

      by England or borrowing money from Amsterdam . Mr . Cobden here entered into a lengthy account * as the resources of Russia , snowing 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 tlie citizens of this free * country and avow that he has lent his money for tho purpose of cutting the throats of the innocent people of Hungary ? ( Loud cheers . ) I have heard such a project talked of . But let it only assume a shape , and I promise you that we , thc peace party , will have such a meeting as has not yet been held in London , for the purpose of denouncing the blood-stained project—for thc purpose of pointinsr the finsrer of scorn at thc house or tbe

      individuals who would employ their money in sucna manner—for tho purpose of fixing an indelible stigma of infamy upon the men who . would lend their money for such a vile , unchristian , and Darbarous purpose . ( Great cheering . ) That is my moral force . ( Cheers . ) As for Austria , no one , 1 suppose , would over think of lending her money . ( Much laughter . ) Why , she has been bankrupt twice within the last forty years , and now her paper money is at a discount of fifteen or sixteen per cent . Surely , then , no one would think of lending her money . If Russia should take a step that required England or any other great maritime power , like thc United States , to attack that power , why we -1 UiLll lit .. .

( Tremendous cheering . ) Russia a powerful country ! I will tell you what she has . She has an army on paper witbout a commissariat , a navy without sailors , and a miljtiwy chest without a farthing in it . ( Great cheering . ) [ After making some further remarks the hon . member resumed his seat , amid prolonged cheering . ] Mr . B . Osborke , who was received with applause , said , that in much ofthe speech which had been so humanely and well delivered by the member of the Society of Friends ( Mr . Alexander ) he cordially and fnllv eoneurred . Although suDuortinir 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 . Therefore he took the liberty to say that he did in his conscience believe that a defensive war was a righteous and holy undertaking —( cheers )';—and he could fancy no sight more agreeable to the spirit of justice than a great nation struggling for its liberties against despotic power . ( Cheers . ) He was hot much in the habit of defending her Majesty ' s Ministers —( a laugh)—but he could not agree with his bom friend tbe member for the West Riding of Yorkshire , in the reflection he threw oa 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 the speech of Lord Palmerston was never delivered . ( Cheers . ) And he must also do the noble lord the member for the city of London the justice to say , that he did not use the term "' insurrection" in a bad sense . ( Hisses and cheers . ) The noble lord was the friend ofthe Hungarian struggle ; and strange indeed would it have been for one bearing the name of Russell —( Aery . " 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 . ) Now , 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 Russia 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 , 000 , 000 of stock in this country . Mr . Codde . v rose to explain . Here was one 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 large demand for her corn from Western Europe . They having this sum , the Emperor , by an ukase explained that this was an operation of thc 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 publie 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 Bern ) the hon . member proceeded to denounce the ^ atrocities committed by tho 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 wou'd 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 . He knew of no distinction of colour or of people , and ho thought they might with equally goou reason assist a great people 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 starring wretch in the

      west of Ireland than the well-fed slave under the paternal government of Austria or Russia . ( Cheers . ) He appealed , then , to the citizens of London , by the bombardment of Vienna 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 tho lovers of constitutional government , for Hungary had 'a free parliament , and the Hungarians were all enfranchised—hc appealed to them as thc haters of war , and ofthe 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 which 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 Nugent had pride and pleasure in expressing his concurrence , not only with the terms of the resolution he would have the honour of supporting , but with every word of the speech of his hon . friend who had just sat down . It was not long since that

      an appeal had been made to the 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—( cheers)—and they would insist that government should no longer discountenance thc cause of liberty in Hungary by refusing to recognise ' , the nationality of that country . In the whole course of history , from the time when the Greeks drove back the hordes of discomfited barbarians from the waters of Salamis and tho plains of Marathon , there was never a clearer case of liberty contending with despotism than that ofthe Hungarian struggle . The Emperor

      of Austria , who was 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 tnalo exercitis . In both senses Francis Joseph was the tyrant , and not tho 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 . )

      The CuAiRMAtf 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 defence of Hungary if necessary . ( This assertion was received with such hearty cheeringas proved that the speaker had expressed the sentiments of the vast body of the meeting . ) "All the 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 marchino ' about London , that would really benefit the Hungarians . ( Cheers . ) France used to be regarded as a barrier against Russia , but she vras no longer so . ( Tremendous cheers , and three heartv groans for ¦

      Louis Napoleon . ) ¦¦; . ,-.-Mr . R Taylor having been requested , as an old citizen ot London , to move a resolution , expressed lus delight at seeing the earnestness of the meeting , because he had observed with regret for some time past a public apathy on this subiect , 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 affairs of Hungary as whollv unjustifiable in reason and iu fact , iu & snmch as besides re-opening and prolonging a sanguinary contest which had already been virtually , decided " it is a . gross violatioplof the law ' of nations-the indefeasible rights of Hungary-and perilous tothe peace , the freedom , and the general welfare of EuS " .. ^^^ Mi ^ eb , ll .

      Hungarian Independence. On Monday A Crow...

      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 , tothe gentleman who had addressed tliem m the spirit of a crusader-were yet in one accord on that Hungarian question . ( Loud cheers . ) . He was glad at bavin" that resolution in particular entrusted to him because whatever might be his opinions with respect to the question as between . Austria and Hun g ary , and whatever mig ht 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 , hear . ) It was a violation of the law of nations , because that law went on the principle that states should keep themselves within themselvesand free from the intervention of other .. , , , . .:,. . ; .

      , powers . ( Cheers . ) The effect of the Russian intervention in Hungary would be thc disturbance ot European treaties , and even of the treaty of Vienna . For why was Lombardy , with its chain of fortresses , ceded to Austria by the treaty of Vienna ? Because it was thought , and justly , that it would be well that there should be in the centre of Europe a great military power to stand between the east and west of Europe . Now if Austria chose to be dependent on Russia , and to be no longer a barrier against Russia , then the principle of the treaty 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 cheers ' ) He would now allude to another point

      . which had been the subject of discussion—that was the conduct of the English press in treating with foreign affairs . ( Hear . ) He trusted they would not be angry with him for saying that all that had been spoken about the Times , and other journals , fell mu « h more heavily on the English people than on the press . / Hear , hear . ) For the public journals , partly leading and partly guidmg public opinion , would not have acted ' the part they had , if they had not thought that the public agreed with them . Let them only stand up and show their opinions , and the press would follow them . ( Cheers . ) He was heartily glad of that meeting ; - because it displayed a feeling which refuted . the supposition mainerenc

      that the English people were becoming w their position as freemen ; ( "No , no . ' ) Some discussion had taken place about the power of Russia . He suspected that the truth lay between the two extremes ; and that while Russia was not to be 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 return and fight for the cause of their country , a cause in which they , as Englishmen , were not only justified , but bound to sympathise . ( Loud cheers . ) . ,,, Lord D . Stuart said , he did not think it would be necessar y for him to employ more than afewwords in obtaining their support to the resolution he was

      going to move , which was—" That the English fovcrnment do immediately recognise the indepenence of Hungary . " ( Loud cheers . ) It was said by 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 of the aristocracy . Now he there deniedhaving studied the subject carefully—the truth of both these accusations . ( Cheers . ) What tho Hungarians were striving to retain and defend was their own constitution , which they had enjoyed for tho 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 move , and they would not be satisfied with anything less . ( Cheers . ) It was true the franchise was formerly extended only to tho nobles . Now the nobles were a very different class to that which was known by the same name in this country . ( Cheers . ) It was so large that it ought rather to be compared to the class of electors which existed here 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 , which entitled only about 100 , 000 to vote , a property qualification such as we

      ourselves possessed . They now had £ 10 householders and freeholders , as we had . There were two reasons for expressing their sympathy with Hungary : first , because of allcountries in the world it was the most remarkable for its attachment to religious liberty ; and , secondly , because it 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 , standing up in defence of Austria ; nor was hc syrprised 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 tho head of Hungary , as the " infamous Kossuth —( shame )—but he did denounce those who were once professed Liberals , for forsaking

      thoirprinciples and aiding the cause of despotism . ( Cheers . ) He was rejoiced to see the manner in which the name of General Bem had been received . ( Cheers . ) But a short time ago that gallant man was a poor despised Polish refugee in this country , dependent upon a small pittance supplied to him by the Polish Association . He was suffering at the time from an old wound , but his poverty not enabling him to receive proper medical assistance at his own residence , hc was compelled to seek relief in the University Hospital , where the late Dr . Liston succeeded in extracting a ball from his body which he had received while defending Poland against Russia , and he had lived to return to his native country of Galicia , to lead on the Hungarians to freedom and victory . { Hear , hear , and cheers . ) The Austvians took delight in boasting ofthe conquests and gallantry of their generals in Italy ; but when they came to meet armies headed by Bem and Dembinski ,

      they were so triumphantly vanquished that they were forced to seek refuge in the . territories of a neutral country , and call m 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 of the few had overcome the tyranny of the multitude , and , however some people might despair , he for one had full confidence in the ultimate success ofthe Hungarian cause . ( Cheers . ) The noble lord concluded b y proposing the following resolution : — " That tho immediate recognition ofthe government de facto ofthe kingdom of Hungary , by this country , is no less demanded by consideration ' s ofjustice 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 the progres ofthe Austro-Russian armies . "

      Mr . Cassel , in seconding the resolution , said ho looked with much anxiety to the result of that day ' s proceedings , for he wished that the expression of their opinion should no * only influence the press of this country , but should penetrate even into Hungary . He believed that the letter which appeared m the Times , denouncing the Hungarians , was the chief cause of that meeting being held . ( Hear , hear . ) But whatever might be written by the Ernes ' , that meeting , and others of a similar character , would convince the Hungarians that the sympathies of the English people were with them . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Mowatt , M . P ., then moved the adoption of a petition to the House of Commons , founded on the foregoing resolutions , which was seconded by Mr . JosEru Cooper .

      In consequence of loud and repeated calls from the great body of the meeting , Julian Harney came forward , and spoke at considerable length . ' llis speech called forth the most enthusiastic applause , ; particularly when he complained that the petition did not go far enough in omitting the demand for armed intervention m behalf of Hungary . At the conclusion of his speech J . H . was warmly congratulated by a number 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 . The Hon . Augustus Moreton movedj and Lord D . Stuart seconded , a vote of thanks to Alderman Salomons for his . conduct in the chair , which havin g been passed , the meeting terminated at half-past five o clock . .

      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 ofthe most terrific thunderstorms which has occurred since August . 1846 Duruv tlie continuance of the storm , tne rain fell in torrents , at the same time the wind blew a perfect hurricane . : Much damage was done 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 , Blackf ' riars-road , occupied by Mr . Tucker , the parapet wall was struck by the electric fluid , and the ceiling on the second floor was much damaged by breakage , the bell wires being wrenche d 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 a 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 rooms 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 , wliich was falling in torrents , was struck to the earth dead . ' Two' othei ; fatal accidents occurred , besides most serious damage being done in different parts of London .
