      THE LAXD _PLAX v . THE PEOPLE . TO FEAKGUS O ' COXXOK , ESQ , , M . P . Respected Sir , —It appears to me _self-evident , if theiand Plan is notto be actively and energetically carried out by tiiose having a direct interest in its success—tke shareholders—it will ssoon hc -numbered among the things that were . The shareholders * disregard to their own interests will compel tlie _directory to wind up the Company , not accordling to their own calm judgment of what is best , but r even without allowing them io exercise any jud < _--- _Bicnt in the matter , ibr -without money it is _' _iinpostaiblc to purchase laud , and without land no memher can be located ; and , in a Avord , without the Company , as a body , do their duty , pay up their shares , and put it in the power of the Directors to do theirs , the progress of the whole concern must come to a dead stop until such time as reproduction set the movement once more in motion , and that , at the best , can only be at a snail ' s pace .

      _^ ow _, Sir , my conviction is , that the hitherto futile attempts to get the Company registered , have been the means of paralysing the shareholders ; they incw nothing about what they were doin < r , neither do they know at present whether it be possible ever to get the Company -within the pale of Whig * law . _^ Xow , Sir , as Whigs , and Tories also , may have a sincere veneration for their own laws , —laws , which have proved so useful to their own orders and so very dangerous to all other orders , at a time too when the people imagine they could make much better laws themselves , why are they in this instsucc irairne to themselves ? Xet them prove hy their confidence in themselves , and in you , that they can _disj-ense with "Whig and Tory laws , ay , and Whigs and Tories too ; unless they prove by their conduct that they can dispense with both , then whv not calmlv bear the infliction ?

      " Sow , Sir , 1 would say at once , lay aside all thoughts of tVJiig registration , for , before they allow you to succeed , they will do their utmost to ruin both you and company with expenses , and then turn round upon you , and accuse yon of deluding your dupes to ruin ; although I hope , by this timc _, *" the greater part see clearly enough who is anxious to ruin them . Leave registration then to tlie "first Chartist Parliament , and , perhaps , they ¦ will grant an act instead . Ask nothing from the

      present encumbcrers of office , the nation ' s dead weight ; do not _^ ive them an opportunity to do mischief , because " they are incapable of doing good _, leave them to themselves , and show them that selfconfidence is ten thousand times stronger than all their laws . Seek no "Whi g protection , and the people will seek no protection but your bouesty ; rc-open the Company anew , for the admission of new members , and allow all tho dissatisfied to sell out as they best can , but let their sale be through the Directors , so that new members may have an

      opportunity of purchasing their shares . Establish the ballot as formerly , taking bonuses from all who have money to spare ; raise tlie price of shares from £ 1 Gs . to £ 2 , aud raise thc location money from £ 710 s . to £ 10 a share ; and as agreat many people are beginning to see that they cannot manage so oiueh land _£ s ~ they at first imagined , reduce their number of shares , hut not _belotv two ; and those who think they have not enough increase them to eight : and all paid-up members to pay threepence per share quarterly ( over and above the Expense _Fiir-l ) , whether located or not , until thc ¦ whole areloc-. ted ; leave the Company _opan until such time as it is fullv and entirely purged

      ofallmalcoidents , or until sueh tinieas the- Company thinks proper to close . Also make it imperative on all shareholders to pay at least three halfpence per . share , weekly , until the whole be paid np . Let mutual confidence henceforth hc the ' Company ' s motto , and we shall see how long the Whigs will protect themselves on the Treasury benches , -when opposed to the united will of a whole people , strong in union , and confident in that strength . l have sceu it , hinted , to merge the Land Plan into Mr . O'Connor ' s "Sew Plan ; this is far from complimentary to Mr . O'Connor ' s long and arduous struggle which thc Land Plan has already cost him ; ¦ neither is this new move calculated like the Land

      Plan to benefit the poorest ofthe poor : thc _icir Plan has a mission to perform , aud I trust its tffTts will be politically as well as socially felt . Mr . O'Connor ' s plan is well calculated lo iMr . n the county representation , and I trust ]¦ •* _-j-iA he powerfully supported . -. Ir . _Skevington's j * :-" * - is ; y < -o well _calculatC'i to secure the _rcpfescutar : r- . ? f _-I . e large cities , boroughs , and towns . With r . ivU weapons in the people ' s power , I do hoi .-.- thai * before there is another general election { if ii conies not before 20 th of July , _i-S-30 _, } the people will so be prepared to meet "Whig John finality , and his -friends , as to convince them that they really do want _orssi-ic reform .

      If ever tho people should petition parliament , let every one _seii-l his own petition , it will only he the expense of the paper , and let thc Ilouse he floated with millions of them . I am , dear sir , Paninure-sircet , Brechin , A . Campbell . JulylG , l- ? 4 !» . P . S . _—Ih-ivc just seen thc Star , and observe the quarterly meeting of the Aberdeen branch of thc Laud Company , thc brancli to wliich 1 belong , It appears the local Directors and members are yet to learn the practicability of a plan they have " been managing and _suj-porting ibr tbe last three years , — they sayit _kis become impracticable , butdonot give a « y reason , knowing as they must do that the fault lies in themselves . They censure the whole

      body of Directors , as acting a dishonourable p art , because they are pleased to countenance another plan , which it would appear ihe Abcrdonims must- consider as an opposition shop , forgetting , it would appear , either through selfishness or ignorance , that the Land Plan was " established for vie noble purpose of assisting to promote the emancipation of industry , by proving the value of free l-ibour , by ap-ihingit to land , over the value of competition slave _laloiir _, and as a means to withdraw some part of thc surplus hands from the compciU tion slave mart . This , I believe , was the intention ofthe propouuder of the plan , and tbe Directors took _offics to carry oat that intention . They have invested the money of the Company in houses and land , ( as far as I know , ) in accordance with thc

      -rules , and can have no further settlement to make ; they have done their duty and fulfilled their intentions as fur _astue shareholders liave permitted thera . I : is , then , the shareholders who have tailed in doing tlieir part of thc duty . It is their duty to make an honourable settlement of all arrears , and enable the Directors io do iheir duty , to locate tlie members in accordance with tlieir original p lan . Meanwhile , I consider the Directors fully justified in accepting thc assistance of those parties who approve of the original intentions of the propounder , to carry out _thoseintcutioiis . Thc shareholders had the Company closed at the end of IS 47 , to please what appeared to me a verv selfish policy ; now they are become like the dog hi thc manger—they will not

      accept of the benefits themselves , neither will they allow others to do so who are willing : in a word , thev wish to control servants whom they have no wish to pav , as the whole receipts ofthe Company would , I fear , fall far short ofthe _du-cctors salaries —at least for some time past So much for Aberdeen in particular , and the grumblers generally . Still it is "ratifying to see thc reports from the localities _«** enerally * : there seems to be a settled conviction that something must be done , most are con-- _viKcedthe price of shares is not in proportion to the benefits received . There is np -remedy ' for this lrat to increase thc price of _sliares ( and nothing can * i , o -mr » -. > -p ,-:,.- _* . _? _jtii 1 to nnt it in the power of those

      who are unwilling to pay more to reduccthe number of their shares , as well as those who considor they hare too many ; and others , supposing theyliave too little : to be allowed to increase them ; the Company to he opened , to allow the dissatisfied to _retn-c , and sound men to replace them , - and , above all , to return to the good old plan , the Ballot , and the Land and Lauonr lianfc , and substitute mutual confidence for government protection , and I have no fears for the result . I trust the Conference will toko UP . tUO subject energetically , and make their decision bindin" on all , and that you , sir , will not think of _retiring Even the dissatisfied cannot do -without you —there is none else can take yonr place . —A .

      _HUNGARY . _BeOTHER PltOLETABIASS _, — I am exceedingly unwell , and therefore illfitted to address _ you this week , hut however few my words , I must invoke your co-operation in the good work so nobly commenced in the metropolis—the holy work of aiding the Hungarians in their glorious struggle for independence and free institutions . It is true that the resolutions passed at the great meeting at the London Tavern were not up to the mark , hut I can affirm from personal observation , that the great body of the people present were tally so . The resolutions , while denouncing the crimes ofthe Austrian and Russian tyrants , and calling on the

      British Government to recognise the i ndependence of Hungary , stopped short of demanding that which can alone effectually serve the _^ _Hungarians—aiuied intervention in _theu * hehalf . But twice in the course of the proceedings—first hy Mr . REYNOLDS , aud subsequently hy myself—the meeting was tested as to the extent and earnestness of its sympathies for the Hungarians ; and twice with thundering , and seemingly unanimous shouts , the assembl y echoed the demand for "War ! Deducting the moral-force sympathisers , I am persuaded that the immense majority ofthat meeting would have sanctioned stronger and more effective resolutions , had such heen brought forward ; hut I proposed no amendment because I felt that to have done so would

      have created confusion and division , which would have delig hted thc Times and the other enemies of the Hungarian cause , including tbe agents , spies , and tools of the Russian aud Austrian despots , _^ oif whom there are no lack iu this metropolis . Notwithstanding the comparative tameness of the resolutions , and the nonsensical sentiments of some of thc speakers , tho meeting of Monday was a glorious demonstration of public feeling in behalf of the Hungarians . Although held at mid-day , the spacious hall was most uncomfortably over-crowded , and

      hundreds went away unable to gain admission ; moreover , although the meeting lasted five hours , the people remained , and the hall continued densely crowded until the Chair-ma ** - ** quitted tbe chair . I rejoice tbat I was present at that meeting—not appointed ( as you may be sure ) bythe " nohle" and "honourable " members of the Committee to take part in its -proceedings , I was called upon to do so hy the voice of the people , aud so Avas afforded an opportunity of representing the principles , the sympathies , and tho wishes of the English Proletarians , on the side of Hungary , Humanity , and Freedom .

      The meeting on the following evening m the John-street Institution , teas , in every respect , up to the mark . The resolutions , while censuring the Government for basely permitting , or conniving at , the subversion of the Roman Republic hy the French brigands , demanded a better and a holder course in relation to the Hungarian question—even , if need were , the course of WAR . The speeches delivered corresponded to the resolutions ; and the enthusiastic responses of the closely-packed meeting —which extended beyond the doors into the

      street—were most heart-cheering to all who , like myself , are heart and soul with the Hungarians . Yet no report—not a mere notice even—of that meeting appeared in the daily papers , although the Committee sent copies of the placards announcing the meeting to all the dail y journals , to whicli I added an announcement on the previous day at the London Tavern , in the hearing of a dozen reporters . But our announcement was - not sufficiently "respectable ** —we had no titled names on our placards . Thus it is that the popular-voice is stifled hy the infamous Press-gang .

      But this conduct of the Press must not discourage you , nor induce you to neglect your duty . Only let your meetings be general , repeatedl y held , and numerously attended , and thc Press will , ere long , he forced to record your proceedings . As Parliament is ¦• bout to Hose you must , instead of petitinniug , _rai'iuoviaJi _* _-. ' . * "the _Govi'i'umer . t to recognise the _h-i-i _.-pc-j'de- _'eo of Hungary , and insist npon thc _wiil- _^ rawal of the Russian and Austrian forces

      _i-i-tm that ei _.-1 _' nb'y . Send your ineiYK / nius 10 Lord Palmers ' - * '' - - * *' , for _presentation to _rl-c ¦ i ' _lGEzy ; and take care in those nieinorirds to let Lord _Palmersion and his Colleagues see , that whilst you cherish Peace , you still more dearly cherish Justice , and are resolved that Hungary shall uot he Polandised without an efiort , on the part of this country , to save her from so terrific a doom . I have spoken of certain nonsensical sentiments given utterance to at the London Tavern . I allude particularly to the original

      mede of aiding thc Hungarians suggested l * y Mr . _Cobdex ¦ and to tho praise lavished in all forms , and by nearly all the speakers , on the _u-ouderful speech delivered by Lord _Pal-MEllSTOXon the preceding Saturday , in answer to Mr . Bebxal Osborne ' s demand for papers connected with - tlie Russian invasion of Hungary . Mr . _Cobdex having " turned his hack upon himself , " hy under-rating , as much as lie once over-rated , the power and resources of the Russian Government , proceeded to show that that Government could

      not carry ou a war oi even two campaigns without coming to western Europe for a loan ; aud his plan of aiding the Hungarians was to exercise some sorb of moral coercion to prevent the capitalists lending their cash to Nicholas . What preposterous absurdity ! Supposing Russia to he as poor and " destitute of the sinews of war as Mr . Cobpex represents , hut which I strongly question , every man possessill" * common sense must he satisfied that Nicholas , who could give good security , and would offer high interest , or other _advantageous -terms , would find no difficulty in raising

      a loan to any amount hi this country , . a . sale investment and heavy interest for then- cash are the only considerations that ever trouble tho money-jobbers ofthe City . Assured ofthe one and of the other , tliey would gladly lend their cash to the Tsar , even though they knew that hy the aid ofthat cash Nicholas would he enabled to cover Hungary with desolation , and reduce her sons to slavery . Gold is their God , and for its sake they would even betray their own country to the Cossacks . Cobden ' s " unadorned eloquence" will do nothing for the salvation of Hungary .

      As regards Lord Pxlmeii 9 to"S' s speech . I say to you read it , and then ask yourselves what is tliere in it wliich would warrant any sensible person including the '' noble lord '' in the list ofthe "friends of Hungary ? " Lord _Pal--MERSio-Jf expresses his anxiety for the continued stability of the Austrian Empire , and avows that he would deplore the separation therefrom of Hungary . He has not one word of condemnation ofthe Russian invasion ; nor does he say that he has protested or will protest , against that monstrous violation of the law of nations and the rights of the free

      Hungarian people . All hc promises amounts to this , tbat he will use his endeavours , should he he afforded the opportunity , of patching np a compromise between tbe _Hungai'ians and the Austrian tyrant ; a compromise whicli would he fatal to the honour , the liberties , and the very existence of Hungary as an independent nation . It is clear , that , with or without foreign aid , the Magyars must fight out the battle , whether they perish or succeed . What will Lord _Pal"UEKSTOA" do for them ? That which the Whigs did for the Poles , unless you , bv the force of public opinion , compel " his

      lordship" to cease his meaningless words and try instead the virtue of deeds . Two things afford me no little satisfaction : 1 st . The interest which the people generally are beginning to take in " foreign politics ;" and 2 ndl y , the evident reaction against the " peace at any price" party . Not long ago , even the Chartists would hardly tolerate my endeavours to inspire them with a feeling of fraternit y towards tlieir brethren of the Continent : but times arc changed , at length the

      millions begin to understand that " all Men are Brethren "—at least all the men of the people . Notwithstanding . - past discouragement , I perceive that the men who have a purpose , and ( as the sailors say ) work with a will , do not work in vain . The " decline" of " Elihu-Burritism" has commenced , and its " fall" is at hand . Even Cobden , when he mouths of "Peace" in connexion with " Hungary , " cannot raise a cheer ; hut let the humblest Proletarian raise his voice in favour

      of England taking up arms for Hungary , and he will at once call forth the enthusiastic plaudits ofthe public . I rejoice at this . I desire " Peace "— _*¦ - permanent and universal peace , " '—hut not at the cost of Liberty and Justice . I believe tbat universal war must precede universal peace—the " war of principles , " ( of which we have seen the beg inning , ) the war of the peoples against tho tyrants of Europe .

      I observe that a large Public Meeting is about to he holden in the Boroug h , of Marylebone ( in the Riding School ) , in behalf of the Hungarians . I know not the day , but , whenever held , I trust that thc men of Marylebone will do their duty , and attend in their thousands strong . Let them do more ; no matter what the resolutions , or who the speakers—let the people express their sympathy for Hungary in unmistakeable terms . The men of Keighley have sep a noble example to then' provincial brethren . What are the men of Manchester , Birmingham , Leeds , Liverpool , Sheffield , Glasgow , aud our other large hives of industry about ? Arouse , brothers ; arouse , do your duty , and have the reward of an approving

      conscience . Hurrah ! The Hungarians have gained two most g lorious victories . It appears that the battle of Waitzen , fought on the 15 th and 16 th of July , resulted in a glorious triumph for tho Magyars , who broke through the lines of the Imperialists , and marched to the north . A letter from the seat of war says : — " The attack of the Hungarians upon _Paskewitcu ' s division was tremendous , and the Russians were home down and compelled to yield before the terrible onslaught of the Magyars , who fought with unexampled courage and daring .

      The renewed charges of tlie Hungarian horse are spoken of as the most brilliant achievement on military record . Paskewitcii despatched couriers to Pesth for aid , and the sudden appearance of General Bamberg ,. ' who hurried up at the head of a large body of Austrians , alone saved him from a complete defeat . Ramber g attacked the Hungarians in the flank , thus eausing a diversion in favour of PASKEWiTcn . " Another letter describes the Russian retreat to Duna Kees as a disorderly flight before Dembinski ' s Hussars , aud states that the Russians were only saved from

      annihilation by the arrival of _Ramreiig , While Dembixski and Georgy were thus chastising the Russians in the north , Bem in the south was completely crushing the army of the Ban jELTAcmcn . The engagement took place at St . Thomas on the 14 th of July . Besides these important victories , the Hungarians , on the 1 st , gained possession of the strong fortress of Arad . The military stores ofthe fortress—viz ., sixty-five pieces of artillery , 1 , 500 muskets , a quantity of gunpowder ,

      bombs , and other ammunition , fell into their bauds . The Hungarians have also re-taken Neutra . It was reported at Presburg on the 19 th of July that the Russians had been compelled to abandon Debreczen from the want of provisions . Fever and cholera have made tearful ravages , hoth iii the Austrian and Russian armies ; and now . that thcy-are beginning to he drawn away from their supplies , these diseases will work tlieir way in a corresponding ratio . Hurrah !

      Brother Proletarians , I beseech you to raise manfully and nationally the cry for INDEPENDENT HUNGARY , and , if needs be ,

      Rome Asd Hungary. A Densely Crowded Meet...

      ROME ASD HUNGARY . A densely crowded meeting , to protest against the subversion of the Roman Republic by France , and to declare sympathy -with the bravo and heroic Hungarians , was held at the Literary Institution , Johnstreet , _Fitr . _i-oy-scniarc , on Tuesday evening , July 24 th . On the platform we noticed F . O'Connor , Esq ., M . P . ; G . Thompson , Esq ., M . P ., ( both of whom , on their entrance , were greeted with prolonged _cheering ); "Major Boniowski ; Messrs . G . W . M . Rcvncids , J . "Watson , H . Hetherington , R . Moore , T * Clark , P . M'Grath , W . Dixon , A Campbell , G . J . Harney , and numerous other advocates of the political and social rights of the peoplo .

      Mr . James Watsos was unanimously called to thc chair . Immediately over the chairman we noticed a huge banner suspended , bearing the inscription , " Poland , _Hungary , P . ome , and the real Republicans of France / ' A letter was road from Lord B . Stuart , expressive of his sympathy with tho object of the meeting , and pleading his parliamentary duties as an apology for liis absence—apologies on the ground of pressing engagements were made for Messrs . Thomas and "Walter Cooper . The Chairman said thoy had met to night in performance of a public duty , and he trusted all had come with the conviction on their minds that it was so , and that every one _present was determined to act as became a " free man—( loud cheers)—to hear all patiently , and then faithfully and honestly iudge

      for themselves . The question was a -world ' s question , and should interest the -whole -world . ( Hear , hear . ) As regards Rome , do not think her cause lost or thc struggle thrown away because the French treason has for awhile triumphed . Why , the clearance of her inquisition was worth all the costs of thc struggle . ( Cheer ** . ) As regards Hungarv , do you think that her sons having once become participators in the soil they could return to serfdom ? Never * they will yet inflict punishment on thoir _trrants and send them bach with dismay . ( Loud che _' ers . ) They had that evening a somewhat uncommon occurrence at a working man ' s meeting —viz ., the countenance of two members of parliament . ( Great cheering . ) At a meeting recently held , and throuffh the nress . Lord Palmerston ' s speech

      had been lauded . Perhaps , taking the general run of Whig speeches , ic was liberal enough in its way—( heaiO-but , as disciples of Thomas raine- ( gi _* cat cheering)—we find that great author writing wli . it Lord Palmerston has now plagiarised , sixty years ago , and we had not , nor would not , forget the lesson . ( Loud cbeers . ) . Mr . R . _Mooke , moved the first resolution as follows;—" That this meeting cannot too highly estimate the heroic devotion of tho nohle Roman nation , nor sufficiently condemn the conduct of the socalled Republicans of France in assassinating those brave defenders of purely Democratic Institutions , and in re-establishing the temporal government ofa hateful Priesthood : and this meeting feels

      bound to express its strong censure of the -British government for its criminal neglect of the interests Of humanity , and the rig hts ofnations _. _innot taking measures to prevent the bombardment ol Rome , and subsequent sub-version of thc liberties of the Roman people . " . . * lie said , he did so with the full conviction resting on his mind that he was breathing sympathy for a glorious people , whose Republic had been put down , but who must ultimately triumph . Lamartine had said , the sword of France was at tho service of Italy —at which declaration the press of this countrv , made a great outcry ¦ against the then provisional government , but _' the present government of France reversed affairs , and turned tiie sword of Fi-ance against the rising hopes of Italy , and thc press sung thc pcaus of the oppressor .

      ( Hoar , hear . ) Hoa-rreed that , generally speaking , we had no right to interfcrein other people's affairs , but when others wantonly interfered to crush liberty , then was it the duty of England to step in and drive back the tyrant aggressor . ( Loud cheers . ) Rome had as much right to change ker forni of government as Eng land had to change her dynasties . ( Hear , hear . ) Rome has said , she abhors priestly governments , that she wants a chancellor ofthe exchequer who should be responsible to her people , and - "ho should not turn up his eyes when called to account . and say ; " I am responsible to God only ..

      ( Loudcheers . ) Lord Palmerston has been highly complimented both in and out of parliament for his able speech , delivered on Saturday last , and I am ready : to admit , that of its ability there can be but onot opinion , but what I want to know is what his lordship was saying and doing when the French assassins were forcing an entry into Rome ? ( Hear , and cheers . ) Of what use are his fino speeches now to ihe ; Romans ? I repeat that it is my conviction , that both his lordshi p and his colleagues were partics to the destruction of Rome . ( Cheers . ) Had the English government been opposed to the proceedings of the French , thoy would have taken the proper steps at the proper time , instead of

      pretending a kind of sympathy after all the mischief lias been done . ( Hear . ) I am not for going to war in the affairs of other nations—I am for non-intervention in the concerns of other peoplo . But who'is there that is acquainted with the moral appliances at the disposal of our government , who does not know that had they intimated t thato giddy and empty-headed thing , that is at present playing the part of President ofthe French Republic , that they were hostile to the invasion of thc Roman territorywho is not aware that . France would not have dared

      to have acted as she has done ? ( Hear . ) Had the industrious classes of England boen represented in parliament , Home would not now be prostrated at the fcet of her enemies , nor would any English minister have dared to have secretly connived at tho destruction of the liberties of a foreign state . ( Cheers . ) The time however will come , when , through a national representation , we will have the power to aid distressed nations , and when that time does come we shall have thc means of enforcing the nation ' s will . ( Cheers . ) I have great pleasure in seconding thc resolution .

      Mr . 0 ' Connor on rising was received with several rounds of applause—he said , as the chairmau had ray properly limited tlie speakers to fifteen minutes , his speech—like the brave defence of the Hungarians—should he a blood run . It was a very exciting topic to address an excited people upon , but it was , nevertheless , one with the merits of which the English people should be made thoroughly acquainted . He was called upon to speak to the question of Rome alone , hut as he was allowed

      only fifteen minutes , ho must have a clash at Hungary as well . ( Cheers . ) As regarded Rome , let him remind tho English Reman Catholics , and tho Irish Roman Catholics as well , who appear to he indignant at thc attack upon the Pope—let him remind them that it was not a Avar of Protestantism , or a war of any other ism , against Catholicism , but a war of independent Catholicism against long-existing abuses , to which thc enlightened mind of this age would not submit . ( Loudcheers . ) What would the Irish Catholics sav if the

      Italian Catholics opposed them m the struggle for their just rights' ? ( Hear , hear . ) "Well , then , what would be the feeling of the Italian Catholics— -the ltoman Catholics on the spot , and the best judges of their own position—if their English or Irish brethren resisted them in their glorious attempt to establish temporal freedom without violating their spiritual faith ? ( Cheers . ) One gentleman , who had preceded him , spoke of our alliance with foreign nations . Eight hundred millions of English money had been coined out of English sweat , . and filched out of English pockuf . _-- , to preserve that _alli-•* . _*' . cg' which _vas'ti . mw'o union of _factions , of parties , nnd of despots ' ; but -what he wished to sec _csfal-lislr _- ' d wasthounion ofthe -people * i _\¦¦¦!! _tt !

( Chews . ) Was it not wc _, 'se than an absurdity to fchhiii of one _Cabii'ieifbasiiig its ¦ " aggression or noninterference upon the terms of a Holy Alliance , although the whole people ofthe nation may be opposed to the conclusion ? while , in another case , the same Cabinet would lend its aid to a hol y ally to suppress and destroy that mind , whose only object was to establish free institutions , and a free constitution , in harmony with the improved mind ofa free people . ( Cheers . ) fie had no doubt upon his mind as to the ultimate success of tho brave Hungarians . ( Loud cheers . ) The soldiers of that country had constituted the main army ofthe former Autocrat

      of Austria , and a man fighting for himself , his liberty , and his country , was worth two men li g hting for a tyrant , aud upon this fact lie rested his hope of ultimate success . ( Cheers . ) But what were the Hungarians fighting for *? Why simply for the constitution which was promised , and to which they were entitled . Well , then , is it a fair alliance , is it just , or is it honest , that England , the ally of Austria , should stand tamely hy and see the plains of Hungary drenched with blood as the result of the treachery of one of her allies . ( Loud cheering , ) Kossuth may-perish in tlie strugg le for liberty hut he will not fail . No ;

      They never fail who die In a great cause : thc block may soak their gore , Their heads may sodden in the sun : their limbs Be strung to city gates and castle walls- — But still their spirit * . _vali * s abroad . Though years ¦ Elapse , and others share as dark a doom Ifc but augments the deep and sweeping thought "Which overpowers all others , and conducts The world at last to freedom . ( Loud and tremendous cheering . ) Ay , and now if England did her duty , and sent her " raw lobsters" and "Piccadilly butchers , " her horse foot , and artillery t o fi g ht th e battles ofthe brave Hungarians , the English people would be more tranquil in the midst of

      unparalleled suffering in the absence of i hose conservators ofthe peace , if they were engaged in so noble a struggle . ( Cheers . ) Times change , however , and we change with them ; and when the Hungarians have destroyed despotism and established liherty—when Austria shall have lost her right arm—when tho northern tyrant shall have heen driven to his frozen land—and when the brave Pole , following * the example of the brave Hungarian , shall have established the freedom of his country , and when the wings ' of the Autocrat shall have been thus clipped , then the English Cabinet will say to the Austrian despot and the

      Russian beast : " You are no longer our allies , we have adopted * the Hungarians because they have been successful . " ( Loud cheers . ) That is the meaning of an alliance—our ally to-day may he our enemy to-morrow ; and as soon as tho French" people see through the vanity and ambition of tlieir Special Constable President , and when they establish a veritable republic in France , with Switzerland a-republic , France a real republic , Rome a republic , and Hungary a republic — ( tremendous cheering ) — then what will , be the policy ! of the Cabinet of St , James ' s ? But bow pitiful that the destiny of a great nation should depend upon the tyranny , caprice , or failure of its allies . Ho was

      Rome Asd Hungary. A Densely Crowded Meet...

      glad that they had ono other member of parliament upon the platform , George Thompson , the reall y hon . member for the Tower Hamlets , —( loud and continued cheering , )—the man who did not come forward now for the first time to advocate the cause of freedom , but thc man who was one ofthe first , andthe very boldest , to contend for the manumission of the American slave , and who , in his struggles for those who had few other friends to fight thoir battles , was compelled to seek shelter for days in the garret of a friend ' s house to save himselt from the Lynch law of the American slave owner;—( great cheering , ) the man who protested against

      English tyranny practised against the Indian , and the man who had th- " - _** _- * - _* ,- - 'age on Tuesday week to speak for _aiiri vote for their Charter . ( Tremendous applause . ) All the world round them was in convulsion , the base , the cowardly , and hypocritical Special Constable President was seckiug to overthrow the Roman Republic , and in this rascally endeavour he had the countenance of all the ruling monarchs , who , _although they acknowledged him as the head of . * Republic , only

      did so from fear , while they ardently hoped to make him the instrument of destroying republicanism , which by his oath he was bound to maintain . . ( Cheers . ) If this policy was to constitute the ruling action of monarchs , give him ( Mr . O'Connor ) a republic , a free republic , in preference to a despotic monarchy . ( Loud and tremendous cheering . ) Tho gorge of many monarchs is raised against the brave Hungarian struggle . The Hungarians were without a

      leader" Till greatly rising in his country ' s right , - ' Her Kossuth , her deliverer sprung to light ; A race of brave Hungarian sons ho led , Guiltless ef courts , untainted , and unread , " Whose inborn spirit spurned the ignoble fee , Their hearts scorned bondage , for their hands were free . " ( Tremendous cheering . ) It was now thirtyfour years since Napoleon—THE Napoleon— - not the . Special Constable—prophesied- that in fifty years Europe would bo Republic or Cossack . He could not answer for the feeling of other nations , hut this he would say for the English people ; give him but ten hours' notice

      to sound the tocsin , and announce the despot ' s approach , and small though his influence may be , he would undertake to raise a million of brave Chartists to meet the tyrant , and they would erect a pyramid of Cossacks , and cap it with the Czar . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The English people were not for war till war was forced upon them ; they knew that war was to trade what the hot-bed is to the plant—it forces it but strengthens it not in its groAvth ; while peace is as the pure air of Heaven , which forces it not , hut strengthens it fill-it arrives at a wholesome maturity . ( Cheers . ) Ho was not a man of war , but he would cheerfully

      enlist as a drummer or a trooper to resist the invasion of the Northern Tyrant , or to aid the brave Romans in the establishment of their constitution . ( Cheers . ) And if England did not very speedil y take her position—and a prominent position—in tho establishment of peace , by the establishment of freedom , she would . find herself a beggar at tho door of tho foreigner . They had heard his oft-repeated sentiments , and although made prematurely old b y the ingratitude of somo of their order— - ( Cheers and "Shame" )—he would still stand by their principles until the league of peoplehad overpowered the league of despots , and until

      liberty , pure and unsullied , was established for their order . For their cause he had struggled , and rather than abandon tlieir causo , ho would abandon life itself . ( Tremendous cheering and waving of hats , which lasted several minutes . ) il . _iJOR _Bexjowski came forward and said : —Interest said to him , do not speak , but his conscience said , do your duty . ( Hear , hoar . ) Ho must bo permitted to say a few words respecting several of thc persons who had been mentioned . -As regards Lamartine , hc could not help regarding him as a man of mere words , in fine , a humbug . He could not help thinking that Lamartine had been the cause of thc disastrous results they now witnessed in France —( cheers , )—and ho . thought they should witness him here and

      ore long as a refugee , ay , tlie President would bo here too in tho same capacity . ( Loud cheers . ) As regards Joseph Mazzini , he really thought he should have taken a lesson from the Emperor of Russia , and havo Moscowed Rome rather than over have given way . ( Hoar , hear . ) lie had some experience inPoland against thc Russians in 1830 , ( cheers , ) and he now torn Ludv / ig Kossuth , it was his duty to lay every city and town in Hungary in ashes rather than ' leave anything for the miscreants of Austria and Russia . ( Cheers . ) George _Tiiompso . v , Esq ., M _. P ., rose amidst great cheering , to support tho resolution , and said , lie would not take more credit for being there than hc deserved . Mr . O'Connor had taken him bythe button-hole in the House of Commons , and honed he

      appeared on their platform ; and now lie was among the conspirators ( laughter . )—He would say , with Ja / _Jicr , " I ' m _amonssi you . and . by Heaven , it glads rac To sec so waiiy ' viriufis iUu * urii . t-.-ii To _ccstoi-ft justice , _siwl ' . ' _itlirone .- . _vrnrt-f'siiin ' . " Ho was happy to think there was no Uelvidern to betray them . ( Hear , hear . ) Thero is a _SSelvidova , but she desires to sec Venice . free . ( Loudcheers . ) _aiany asked , what can bo -the practical result of your public meetings ? Had not many a Iloinau been fired with the noble words , "lama man I "—

      ( cheers)—and it did us good to sympathise with our brethren , whether on the banks of the Tiber , the Theiss , thc Danube , ov thc Lulus —( hear , hear , )—and it must bo grateful to their feelings to receive our sympathies . We wanted many such meetings as these , as a set off against thc press ; yet , after all , thc press did not hoodwink tbo people , they were hut holding themselves up to infamy , crying "Wo \ i "> . _^ _Voli _¦ _, _. so often , that thoir own malpractices must eventually overthrow them , from sheer want of confidence . * They could not transport or gibbet us for expressing our sympathies with thc brave men of Pestb , or Hilda ; and can the people sympathise with thoso men without having their

      minds set on their own liberties ? Then let us generously sympathise with every oppressed people of tho face of the earth , ( Hear , hear . ) There were "but few of the sentiments he had heard expressed but that he agreed with * . hc was a peace man , but his sympathies were with those who were struggling for freedom . ( Loudcheers . ) France had gone to Rome to smother her new-born liberties , and our censure could not bo too severe . He estimated Lord Palmerston's speeches as lightly as any one ; Lord Palmerston spoke after a fact , when he should have spoken before . ( Loud cheering . ) Of course it was perfectly understood he was compelled to make that speech to save him from the opprobrium of the

      people . Bnt whilst wq think oi our brethren abroad let us not forget pur rights at home ; and when our flame burns dim it is well to say to the Hungarians , " Give us of your oil , " and thus resuscitated let us hand the torch about—the torch he meant was that of truth and justice . He liked to see those mental revolutions go on ; his belief was , that thoy need not even risk a dungeon in the eflicient advocacy of their rights and liberties ; there was nothing better than a fine , bold , stern , moral attitude of defiance . ( Loud cheers . ) He must confess , when he came on that platform , that he had a stroii »* feeling in favour of Mazzini , Kossuth , & c , and still retained ifc ; but he was not desirous of having a passage at arms with the gentlemen who took adiii ' erent view , as ho hoped tho time had arrived when principles would

      rule , and not men , ( Loud cheers . ) Had the English government issued a timely protest and remonstrance , hc believed that would have been sufficient . He cordially agreed with tho _object of tho mootingfor , after nil , it was a struggle for . the suffrage , a struggle for the Charter , and he trusted the struggle would go on until England possessed really free institutions , and the franchise was extended to every male adult . [ Tho hon . member resumed his scat amid reiterated plaudits . Tho resolution was then put , and carried unanimously , amidst the loudest applause . ] -Julia's _H . \ _nsi-y , in a speech of considerable length , in the course of which he was loudly and repeatedly applauded , moved the adoption of the following resolution : —

      That the brave Hungarians in their - struggle for independence , and the establishment of Democratic Institutions , are eminently entitled to the support of the people of this and every other countrj , *; and this meeting viewing with abhorrence the atrocities committed hy the- Austrian forces , and regarding the intervention of Russia as a violation of the law of nations , hereby calls upon the British government to at once recognise the independence of Hungary , and intervene , if needs be ' by force , in behalf of the Hungarian people , in " order that the horrors' of war may be put an end to , and the Hungarians be left- at liberty to remodel their institutions in _accoi'dsmcc with thoir own wants and thc spirit of the times . "

      Mr. Heniiy Hethemxoto.V, In Seconding Th...

      Mr . HenIiy Hethemxoto . v , in seconding the resolution , said he dissented from thc sentiments of Major Beniowski . Xet them remember Kossuth ' s proclamation , m which hc said the Hungarians would yet beat and bury their oppressors . ( Loud cheers . ) The instructions he had laid down for the mode of warfare to bo adopted against tho Austrians and Russians were to mine the towns and to set fire to the places behind them He ( Mr . Hetherington ) , thought this was an excellent mode of warfare against such barbarians , and he trusted it would bo earned out . ( Choors . ) Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds rose amidst much applause to ' support tho resolution and said : —Ho had gone to the London Tavern yesterday , with a strong feeling in favour of tho Magyars , and handed his

      card to Mr . Salomons , with anew of addressing tho meeting , and in a minute or so Mr . Salomons had beckoned him to him , and then told him his principles were too democratic , and could not be permitted there , and consequently refused him a hearing , but thc working classes had obtained a hearing for him . lie told thc meeting it was the duty of England to send her army and her fleet to the succour of those brave men , and that declarationoven in thc London Tavern—was received with great applause . Lord Nugent had told Mr . Salomons that hc was ill-using aman who representedthc _* _fcelingsof the working men of London . Mr . Cobden had come forward at that meeting with somo of those specious fallacies hc was so fond of deluding you with . ( Hoar , ) Hc said Russia could not find money to carry on

      a war if you prevented her getting a loan . Why had she not found means to oppress and suppress Poland ? ( Hear , hear . ) And would not a certain class find means again for the Autocrat of Russia ? ( Hear , hear . ) Wh y would tbey not send our soldiers out to the plains of Hungary ? Because if they did they would imbibe republican notions wliich might prove dangerous on their return to England . Why was not Field-Marshal Prince Albert sent out at the head of an army of liberators ? Could not the Queen spare him from her side ? ( Laughter . ) It had been saidthat Austria was our ancient allyally in what ? Fighting the battle of the Bourbons . It was said she was a bar against thc aggression of the Mussulman of the East—why there were two occasions when they bad engagements with tho Turks . ( Hear , hear . ) In the sixteenth century

      they fled before the Turks , and the Turks were compelled to raise thc siege in consequence of an insurrection which broke out in the Turkish dominions . In the seventeenth century the Turks returned again , and proceeded to the gates of Vienna , and the Austrians were about to give up the citywhen John Sobieski came down fromthe mountains with his army and routed the Turks . ( Hear , hear . ) Then what had become of Lord Palmerston's boast ? Kossuth had done nothing but what must inspire the lovers of freedom with confidence ; he ( Kossuth ) would yet liberate Hungary and save the Western world , and under his command ho had three brave generals—Georgy , Dembinski , and Rem . ( Groat cheering . ) Kossuth ' s policy was to draw thc enemy into thc centre of the kingdom , and there , on their own ground would tho bloody battle take place , and

      God send that thc whole of the Russians and Austrians may be destroyed ! ( Tremendous cheering . ) But the generals could not restrain themselves . Why even Georgy had departed from this Fabian policy and fought and won two battles , and did we not find Bom beating Luders in Transylvania , and the forces under thc infamous Ban Jellachich cut to pieces ? ( Loud cheers . ) The speaker concluded by calling upon thc English in thc names of Cromwell and _Hampton , the Scotch by thc names of a Wallace and a Bruce , and the Irish by the heroism of a Meagher and a John Mitehol , and men ofall other nations in the name of the God of battles , to give their cordial aud devoted sympathies to thc brave and glorious Hungarians . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously . ,

      Mr . Gill briefly moved the following petition : TO TUE nOXOURAIlLE THE COJIM 0 X 8 OF GREAT BRITAIN AN IRELAND , IN * PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED , The "Petition of the inhabitants of London , in public meeting assembled at the Literary and Scientific Institution _, in th < - borough of . Marylebone , this 24 th day of July , 1849 . SiiEWETti _, —That your petitioners lia _* re mtnessed with grief aud alarm , the apathy of your IlonouvaWe House with regard to the French Intervention in tho affairs of Hume , by whieh a brave and heroic people have been subjected to foreign domination , their constitution destroyed , and their liberties annihilated ; and that too by a government which owes its existence to thc profession of the same principles . Your petitioners feel assured that so false a power cannot he the faithful ally of this , or any other nation , and your petitioners must express their profound disapprobation of thc conduct of her Majesty ' s "Ministers in declining to ac _' -riowJcdge ( lie _lioman Hepublic , and iR _rcfusin-r its aid to a people assailed by a treacherous , ferocious , and apostate foe .

      Your petitioners beg to direct your attention to thc struggle at present raging-iu Hungary , between the people of that country and thc despotic power ol" Austria , hy whose tyranny the brave Hungarians liave been compelled to Hy to arms in defence of thoir constitutional liberties , and in which struggle atrocities are being committed 1 >> thu Austrian forces niostrevoltiiig to humanity , and wort _., the reprobation of all civilised states . That tho power C . Austria being inadequate to enslave the heroic Hungarian *! , the Austrian government have caused the invasion of Hun _gaj-y by Ilussian armies , in violation of the law of nations , and to the imminent peril and wulfara of the whole of Europe . Your petitioners therefore pray yoviv Ihmonvablc House to aduYess her Majesty ' s government to at ouce recognise the independence of Ilnngary , and to interfere , i £ needs be , by force of arms , to aid the llungarians ' against tlieir despotic and savage assailants . Aud yemv pc-dtioncxs , & c . Mr . M'Giurir seconded the adoption of the petition .

      The Petition was unanimously adopted . Mr . " William Dixon moved that the Petition just adopted be signed by tho chairman , and forwarded to Lord Dudley Stuart for presentation , which was sccondoil and can-led unanimously . Mr . _IIar-vet moved that a duplicate ofthe petition be signed by thc chairman , and forwarded to Lord Ilcauinon _** . for presentation to the House of Lords , which was seconded and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was given by acclamation to Mr . James Watson for his impartial conduct in the chair , which he briefly acknowledged and tho meeting quietly dispersed . Wo havo received tho following letter from Mr . Watson , the Chairman of thc meeting , in reply to Major _Ueniov-.-kijas far as rcsrards the c ' _.-nduct _uC Mr . Mazzini at _loino :--j'h *! _priijjw ' . Hi .-. _Jo ? -. _••¦ I _' ndrawing _funlipv vesi .-tance came , _li'oin the ConK ' nui ' iit * Assemji _, _' , < im " . -mi f _:-r . r . 'be Triumvirs .
