And who would say that they were not entitled to snch allowance for difficulties almost insurmountable ? 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 been committed , they ¦ were as nothing compared with the relief which had been afforded—the . millions of lives saved by the generosity of England . Then Mr . Horsman found fault with die permanent measures . The government Lid to choose between the poor-house aad the charnel-house , and they chose the former . Mr . Horsman proposed to dei-ise a legislation that should be " at once solid , profound , and regenerative . " He did not venture to discuss this unathomable legislation , but he believed that the urgent evils of Ireland were such as defied human legislation , and could onlv be lealed by an Almighty

      liand . On the motion of The O'Gormas Mahox the debate was adjourned until Tuesday , and , after some further business , the House adjourned at twelve o ' clock . TUESDAY , JOTY . 24 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —In this House a great number of bills were advanced a stage , amongst them was the Toon Relief ( Ikeiasd ) Bill as amended or damaged rather by the Peers . Lord St £ Sley repeated Ms objections to the practice of sending up a shoal of bilk at the close of the

      session which they had scarcely time to read—consideration was out of the question . Earl Gssi admitted the justice of the complaint , tut said it was quitefifty years old , and he believed the inconvenience was inseparable from the constitution oi the two Houses of Parliament . [ "We presume tliat , as true supporters of the Constitution , both noble lords would resist any change which would get r id of this objectionable mode of legislation . ] _ At the close of the sitting their Lordships adjourned io "Wednesday , thus « ivin «» themselves an extra day , io keep pace with the bills sent up from the Commons .

      HOUSE OF COMJIOSS . —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 . Bagged School Emigration . —Lord Ashlei brought before the House the state of a portion of the juvenile population of the metropolis , and moved , "_ That it is expedient that means be annually pro-Tided 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 strongly urged the necessity of adopting some course for the promotion of the voluntary emigration of such persons . Sir G . Grey , 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 « ms wished to see them placed , he could not sanction the proposition of the noble lord . Sitting there as the representatives of the people , they must look at the interests of society as a whole , and , while Dot disregarding thecriminalj they mast before all take care to do justice to that clas 3 of society cousistins of the children of honest parents , labourers , and artisans who had peculiar claims oa the benevolence of the country .

      Mr . P . Wood considered that it would be highly desirable if some plan could be devised by which orphan children , when they left the workhouse , could bs sent to the colonies . He wonld consent to a slight encouragement from the state to lagged schools , but lie was satisfied the moment that was exceeded , they would paralyse all efforts of individual charity . Lord Ashley replied , that seeing the sense of the House was against him , he would withdraw his motion . Affairs of Guiaxa . —Mr . Hume then proceeded to make his promised statement with reference to the affairs of British Guiana , and submitted a motion to the effect that the time had arrived when the public expenditure of the colony 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 means for paying the same .

      Mr . 1 L Baiixie and Mr . Hawes followed , after which , JMr . Stuabt moved the adjournment of the debate . Mr . Hume replied to certain arguments of Mr . Hawes , and after a few observations from Mr . Disbaeli the House divided , when the motion for adjourning the debate was negatived by a majority of 77 , the numbers 17 to 04 . 3 So sooner was the gallery re-opened at twelve o ' clock , than the question was put by the Speaker that the House do adjourn , which , was at once agreed to amidst much laughter . WEDNESDAY , Jutx 25 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Their lordships safc an BOW and a half , and forwarded bills as usual . IIOTJSE OF COMMONS . —The House met at twelve o'clock . The order of the day for &e adjourned debate upon the state of Ireland was discharged , Mr . Eorsmax intimating that he should renew the motion next

      . The Bankrupt and Insolvent Members Bill was withdrawn , and the Smoke Prohibition Bill experienced in effect the same fate . The Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Bill , on the third reading , underwent some amendments . Amongst the bills read a third time and passed were the Clergy Relief Bill and the Protection of "WssneaBtti , thelatter not -without renewed opposltionand a division . The House then went into committee upon the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Bill , Mr . Stuakt and Sw J . Graham bearing flSBmony 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 . Tie consideration of die details of this bill occupied nearly alUhe remainder of the day .

      Theobieet and provisions of one of them , the Regimental Benefit Societies Bill-which , m its previous stages , had attracted no attention—were explained bvthc Secuet-ibt-at-IVaii . _ " In the evening sitting , Mr . H . DnujMOKD moved , tliatwhercas-a . greater amount of taxation is levied upon the people than is required for the good and efficient government of the United kingdom ; and whereas large sums are expended in supporting nccdloss places , extravagant salaries , nnd unnecessary works and establishments ; and whereas the present taxation of the country depresses all classes , and especially the labouring classes , by diminishing the fund for the employment of productive labour—it is the opinion of this House that adequate means should be forthwith adopted to reduce the expenditure of the government . Lord It . GROSVEXon considered that the resolution implied an unjust accusation against the last and

      the present governments , ana proposed as an amendment another which , premising that no greater amount of taxation ougut to he levied than was sufficient for good government , and the expediency of a searching inquiry as to any superfluous places , salaries , or establishments , resolved that a vigilant superintendence should be exercised over the expenditure in all the departments , so that every reduction might be effected therein not prejudicial to the public service . The CnxxcELLOR of the Excheweh , a ^ Lord Jonx Russelii opposed the resolution , which was supported by Mr . IIcme , Mr . Ewart , Mr . M . Gibsox , and Col . Thompson . After a short reply from Mi * . Drummoxd , the House divided , when the original resolution was carried by 71 against 63 , the government being left in a minority of 3 . Sale of Bread . —Mr . Baxkes moved the second

      reading of the Sale and Manufacture of Bread Bill , which was opposed by Mr . Labouchere , because it wonld impose restrictions upon the trade that would onerate injuriously , and -was ultimately negatived without a division . The other orders were disposed of , and the House adjourned at one o'clock . ( From our Third Edition oflast weci . J FRIDAY , July 20 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Several bills passed their stages without debate . , Iiiix—Lord Brougham proceeded in pursuance of his notice , and in a speech of between two and three hours' duration , to bring the subject of the aftairs of Italy under consideration , concluding by moving : — " 1 . That it is the 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 territoryand to

      , endanger the general peace . " 2 . . That it ia 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 by the papers laid before parliament , a want of friendly feeling towards allies to whom we arebound by treaty and by mutual acts of goodwill . " The noble and learned lord was replied to by the Earl of Carlisle , the' speakers in succession being Lord Hetijesbdry , but whose observations were all but inaudible in the gallery ; the Earl of Minto , who was also very imperfectly heard ; the Earl of Aberdeen , the Marquis of Laxsdowxb , and Lord Staxley . After a reply from Lord Brougham , The motion was negatived by a majority of 12 , the numbers , including proxies , being 90 to 108 ; and their lordships adjourned at half-past four o ' clock this momin < r .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The House met at twelve o ' clock . The question of the second reading of the Piiotage 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 . The House then went into committee on the Poor-law Uxion Charges Act Amendment Bill ; and on arriving at the emigration clause , the sam of £ 10 per head was substituted for £ 15 , as contemplated by the clause . Mr . \ Yood moved a clause relative to the education of pauper children , to which Mr . Baines stated several

      objections , at the same tune 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 . Hey wood ' s for extending the operation of the bill to "Gilbert ' s Unions , " was adopted ; one by Captain Pecheli ,, 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 passed through committee , when the House temporarily adjourned . -

      On its resuming at six o ' clock . Mr . Labouchere , in reply to Mr . Denison , withdrew the Railway Audit Bill for this session . Marriage Bill . —Mr . J . S . "Wortley answered Mr , Coclburx 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 Meai ? s being read , Mi * . Herries rose and called the attention of the

      House to the condition of the public revenue as stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , and in connexion therewith to the expediency of deriving an addition to the national resources from a fixed duty on the importation of foreign corn , but concluded without submitting any substantive motion . A long debate ensued , after which the House went into committee , when the usual resolutions were agreed to on which to found the Appropriation Bill , the crowning measure of the session . On the House resuming , other orders of the day were disposed of , and the adjournment followed .

      ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE . ( From our Third Edition of Last Weel . ) CHELMSFORD , July 19 . Deserting as Ixfasi . —Extraordinary Case . — Jonathan Henry Price , described in the calendar as a dissenting minister , and Priscilla Ruffell , a girl about twenty , surrendered to take their trial upon an indictment which charged them with feloniously deserting an illegitimate infant , to the inclemency of the weather , with intent to murder it , and with a view to relieve themselves from the burden of mamtainingthe child , and to cast it upon the parish . The case appeared to excite agreatdeal of interest , and the court was crowded during the tvialbymemhevsofthemaleprisoner ' scongregation , and others who were anxious to hear the proceedings .

      Evidence having been given , the Lord Chief Baron summed up , ana the jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict of " Guilty" against both defendants upon that count of the indictment which charged their intent to be to burden the parish with the maintenance of the child , but they accompanied their verdict by a recommendation to mercy for the female . —His lordship then sentenced Price to be imprisoned for twelve , and Ruffell for three months . —Before the prisoners wero taken from the bar Price addressed the court , and said that the child in question was not his child , and that his fellow prisoner had had an illegitimate child before . His lordship made no answer to the observation , and the prisoners were then removed .

      NOTTINGHAM , Jolt 20 . Arson * . —S . "Wilcockson , aged 44 , labourer , was indicted for arson . It appeared that until about six months ago the prisoner was tenant of three thatched cottages , under the Earl of Stamford , at 2 fewthorpe . At the time alluded-to , his lordship disposed of thecottagesto'Gemse Clifton , afarmer , who discharged the prisoner from bis tenancy , and re-let the cottages . "Wilcockson complainec at the time that Mr . Clifton had bought the property over his head , and refused to allow Mm anything for fixtures , but that he should never live to enjoy the fruits of his purchase . At another time he said there would shortly be a "bonny blaze " in the parish . At ten o ' clock on the night of the

      ottt ot May last , the cottages having been cleared l > y execution , and newly tenanted , the prisoner went to a neighbouring public-house , where he sat for about three hours . At one o'clock on the morning of the 9 th he started to go home , but , before leciv ing , he purchased of the landlady a box of lucher matches , saying , " Now I shall have alight to go to bed by . " A few minutes afterwards he was observed larking about the three cottages , and directly afterwards a fire broke out in the thatch at the back of one in the centre , and was with difficulty subdued . The inmates of all three cottages were asleep at the time , and many of them were not awakened until all danger was past . Verdict , Guilty " Sentence , fifteen years' transportation .

      - — ' ¦—WMM !¦¦¦ HUNGARIAN INDEPENDENCE . ' On Monday a crowded meeting was held in tho large room of the London Tavern , " for the purpose of expressing sympathy , with that noble , maligned , and betrayed people , the Hungarians « , a \ SO fOV Vindicating the people of England from any participation in the sentiments expressed by a portion of the public press as to the subjection of IIun « avy by the Austrian and Russian armies . " n The chair was taken by Mr . Alderman Salomons at one o ' clock . Among the persons present were Mv . ' 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 . Xovrcys , M . P ., Sir "W . Clay , M . P ., Mr . M . Mimes , M . P ., Mr . J . AVilliams , M . P ., Mr . J . A . Smith , M . P ., Mr . Clay ' M . P . Mr .

      , , Willcox , M . P ., Mr . Mowatt . M . p ; , Colonel Saltvey , M . P ., Sir J . Walms' . ey , M . P ., Mr . J . B . Smith , M . P ., Mr . Wyld , M . P . Mr . AV . Scholefield , M . P ., Sir E . Colebrooke , M . P ., Captain Townsend , M . P ., Mr . J . Kershaw , M . P ., Mr . W . Williams , &c . There were also present a considerable number of Poles , Hungarians , Germans , and other forei ff ners . Hundreds of persons were unable to gain admission . The Chairman , in opening the proceedings , stated that the position of a chairman in a meeting like the present was one of considerable responsibility , but his responsibility was greatly lessoned since the debate in the Ilouseof Commons on Saturday —( cheers ) , —which would carry to the country facts that would probably have been discredited if they had appeared on anv less

      authority than that of eminent members of Parliament , and our Minister for Foreign Affairs . In alluding to the Times , the Chairman said , he deeply regretted that a journal 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 sawinthat morning ' s paper symptoms of coming round to them , and ho fonnd 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 "then 1 regret that their Parliamentary duties would not allow them to be present . He also stated that he had received letters from several members of the House of Commons to the same effect . ' .... ¦ .. '" : _ ..

      Mr . G . W . Alexander came forward to propose the first resolution . He said he . belonged to a society that had ever been friends to peace , and' this had probably been the motive for placing him in his present position . Allusion had been made to the tone of the remarks made by the leading journal , and those remarks had been another motive fer 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 rorcea , 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 tho 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 right 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 think it is for the interest of this country and of all other countries to recognise , it is that separate and independent countries should he allowed to regulate their own affairs in the way that seems best to them , without the interference of any other foreign power whatever . ( Cheers . ) I make no exception to this rule , I include in it the right of the Romans ( enthusiasticcheers , and a " cheer fov 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 tho position of an independent nation . ( Cheers . ) So far , they have proved their power to maintain their independence against Austria . My object in coming

      here to day is to protest against an armed intervention , as unjust , as iniquitous , and as infamous as was ever perpetrated . I come here to protest against the Russian hordes pouring down upon the plains of Hungavy , and I do it upon the principle that I have already laid down , and as I would have protested against England sending an army to Hungary to fight on the other side . I belong to the peace party , though I cannot claim for myself the views which my friend who preceded me has expressed . We may be asked , how can you bring moral force to bear on these armed despots ? I will tell you . We can stop the supplies . ( Loud cheers . ) Why Russia can't cavvy on two campaigns beyond hev own frontiers without coining to Western Europe for a loan . She never has done so , without being either subsidized

      by England or borrowing money from Amsterdam . Mr . Cobden here entered into a lengthy , account as the resources of Russia , showing the impossibility of that power to carry on a war with any nation without receiving a . loan from Western Europe , and continued ; will any one dare to coiae before the citizens of this free country and avow that he has lent his money for the purpose of cutting the throats of the innocent people of Hungary ? ( Loud cheers . ) 1 have heard such a project talked of . But let it only assume a shape , and I promise you that we , the peace party , will have such a meeting as has not yet been held in London , for the purpose of denouncing the blood-stained project—for the purpose of pointing the finger of scorn at the house or the

      individuals who would employ their money in such a manner—for the purpose of fixing an indelible stigma of infamy upon the men who * would lend their money for such a vile , unchristian , and barbarous purpose . ( Great cheering . ) That is my moral force . ( Cheers . ) As foi Austria , no one , I suppose , would ever 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 Ei ^ jland or any other great maritime power , like the United States , to attack that power , why we should fall like a thunderbolt upon her . ( Cheers . ) You would in six months crumple that empire up ,

      or drive it in to its own dreary fastnesses , as I now crumple up that piece of paper in my hand . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Russia a powerful country ! I will tell you what she has . She has an army on paper without a commissariat , a navy without sailors , and a military chest without a farthing in it . ( Great cheering . ) [ After making some further remarks the hon . member resumed his seat , amid prolonged cheering . ] Mr . B . Osbobxe , who was received with . applause , said , that in much of the speech which had oeen . so humanely and well delivered by the member of the Society of Friends ( Mr . Alexander ) he cordially and fully concurred . Although supporting the principle of arbitration , he would draw a distinction between war undertaken for conquest and defensive wars ,

      undertaken for the preservation of the rights and liberties of mankind . 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 iancy no sight more agreeable to the spirit of justice than a great nation struggling for its liberties against despotic power . ( Cheers . ) He was not much in the habit of defending her Majesty ' s Ministers —( a laugh)—but he could not agree with his hon . friend the member for the West Riding of Yorkshire , in the reflection he threw oa the Minister for Foreign Affairs for hi 3 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 lor the city ot London the justice to say , that he did not usetheterai "insurrection" in a bad sense . ( Hisses and cheers . ) The noble lord was the friend of the 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 b y the member for the West Riding he coincided , but he must take the liberty to say , that in exposing the weakness of Rassia he had gone rather too far . Forewarned was forearmed , and let them not lay it to tkeir hearts that that gvsat empire ivas not to be feared , but despised . Let it not be forgotten that Russia had lately purchased £ 5 , 009 , 000 of stock in this country . Mr . Cobden pose to explain . Here was one of greai oi Russian

      me , impostures me . government , which had not invested one farthing in English etoek . 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 the bank alone . The government had nothing to do with it , and he did not know how it was thafc 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 * power which felt no scruple in owrwhelming Hungary woidd have any scruple ia walking faith with tie pu blic fundholder ?

( Cheeisi . J He appealed , then , to the citizens of London , by the bombardment of Yienna and Festh-as apostles of commercial freedom , for the tariff of Hungary was free , whilst the tariff of Austria was exclusive—He appealed to them as the lovers of constitutional government , for Hungary had > free parliament , and the Hungarians were all enfranchised—he appealed to them as the haters of war , and of the crueltv which flossed ladies at Prcsburg , 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 tho 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 constitutionalgovemment . ( Greatcheering . ) 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 g enerals , and consider their conduct to merit the indignant reprobation of all parties . " *

      Lord Nugent had pride and pleasure m expressin < t 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 the cause of liberty in Hungary by refusing to recognise ) the nationality of that country . In the whole course of history , from tho

      time when the Greeks drove back tho hordes of discomfited barbarians from the waters of Salamia and the plains of Marathon , there was never a clearer case of liberty contending with despotism than that of the 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 ot tyranny ; one , ex malo titulo , and the other , ex mah cxercitis . In both senses Francis Joseph was the tyrant , and not the King of Hungary . ( Cheers . ) They should not look for guidance on this question from a weak government , or a prostituted press ; but , as Englishmen , should think for themselves , Loud

      and speak their sentiments before all Europe . ( cheers . ) The Chairman put the two resolutions , which were carried unanimously . Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds next addressed the meeting . He avowed his belief that in so holy , sacred , and solemn a cause , England must even go to war in defenee of Hungary if necessary . ( This assertion was received with such hearty cheeringas proved that the speaker had expressed the sentiments of the vast body of tho 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 of the troops now marching about London , that would really benefit the Hungarians . ( Cheers . ) France used to be regarded as a barrier against Russia , but she was no longer so . ( Tremendous cheers , andthreo hearty groans for Louis Hapoleon . )

      Mr , R . Taylor having been requested , as an old citizen of London , to move a resolution , expressed his delight at seeing the earnestness of the meeting , because lie had observed with regret for some time past a public apathy on this subject , produced by the deeeitful 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 wholly unjustifiable in reason and in fact , inasmuch as , besides re-opening and prolonging a sanguinary contest which had already been virtually decided , it is a gross violation of the law of nations—the indefeasible rights of Hungary—and perilous to the peace , lilreeuuui nie uubiui QI ciuro /

      us , uuu ^ wennro . [ e . Mr . Monckton Milses , M . P ., said , he trusted that the interpretation given outside to even the diversities of opinion expressed that day would be this , that gentlemen who on other subjects differed as far as the poles asunder — from the gentleman who had in so pacific a tone opened the meeting to the gentleman who had addressed thorn in tho spirit of a crusader—were yet in one accord on that Hungarian question . ( Loud cheers . ) He was glad at having that resolution in particular entrusted to him , because whatever mi ght bo his opinions with respect to the question as between Austria and Hungary , and whatever mi ght be the opinion of others , yet all must agree that Russian intervention

      had damnified that cause , whatever else of good it might hare in it . ( Hear , hear . ) It was a violation of the law of nations , because that law went on tbe principle that states should keep themselves within themselves , and free from the intervention of other powers . ( Cheers . ) The effect of the Russian intervention in Hungary would be the disturbance of European treaties , and even of the treaty Of Yienna . For why was Lombardy , with its chain offorfcreasesj ceded to Austria by the treaty of Yienna ? 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 tho east and west of Europe , Now if Austria chose to be dependent on Russia , and to bo 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 subjeot 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 much more heavily on the English people than on the press . / Hear , hear . ) For the public journals , partly leading and partly guiding public opinion , would not have acted tho part they had , if they had not thought that the public asrreari 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 svipposition that the English people were becoming indifferent to their position as freemen . ( " 2 fo , 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 bo feaved , 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 . Stuakt said , he did not think it would be necessary for him to employ more than afew worda in obtaining their support to tho resolution he was going to move , which was— " That the English government do immediately recognise the independence of Hungary . " ( Loud cheers . ) It was said b y 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 the Hungarians were striving to retain and defend was their

      own constitution , which they had enjoyed for the last 800 years , and which was more like the constitution of this country than any other that had been established . They had their Kings , their Lords and Commons—these they were now struggling for —they did not demand more , and they would not be satisfied with anything less . ( Cheers . ) It was true the franchise was formerly extended only to the nobles . Now the nobles were a very different class to that which was known by the same name in this country ( Cheers . ) 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 ana lveeholders , 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 attachmen t to religious libertyand , secondly , because it had earned out the pr / n cipesof freetnde . . ( Cheers . ) He did not End fault with the old Tories in the ' House of Lords , who had grown grey m opposing the liberties of the people , standing upjui defence of Austria ; nor was aesurprised th 4 a aoble lord , should , come down to

      Untitled Article

      the House of Commons to defend his mde , Lord Aberdeen , and denounce that great and good man now at the head of Hungary , as tho . " infamous Kossuth—( shame)—but he did denounce those , who were once professed Liberals , for forsaking their principles and aiding the cause of despotism , ( Cheers . ) He was rejoiced to see the manner in which the name of General Bern 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 , he was compelled to seek relief in the

      University Hospital , where tho late Dr . Liston succeeded in extracting a ball from his body which he had received while defending Poland against Russia , and ho had lived to return to his native country of Galieia , to lead on the Hungarians to freedom and victory . ( Hear , hoar , and cheers . ) TheAustrians took deli ght in boasting of the conquests and gallantry of their generals in Italy ; but when they came to meet armies headed by Bern and Dembinski , they were so triumphantly vanquished that they were forced to seek refuge in the territories of a neutral country , and call in the aid of Russian barbarians . ( Cheers . ) Russia , no doubt , had immense numbers of troops at her command ; but let

      them remember that trom Xerxes down to Napoleon , tho ri"ht of the few had overcome the tyranny of the multitude , and , however some people might despair he fer one had full confidence in tho ultimate success of the Hungarian cause . ( Cheers . ) Tho noble lord concluded by proposing the following resolution •— " That the immediate recognition of the government dc facto of the kingdom of Hungary , by this country , is no less demanded by considerations of justice and policy , and the commercial interests of the txro 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 of tho 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 tho expression of their opinion should not only influence the press of this country , but should penetrate even into Hungary . He believed that the letter which appeared m the Times , denouncing the Hungarians , was the chief cause of that meeting being held . ( Hear , hear . ) - But whatever might be written by the Times , 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 tho House of Commons , founded on the foregoing resolutions , which was seconded by

      Mr . Joseph Cooper . In consequence of loud and repeated calls from the greafbody of the meeting , Julian HARSEYcame forward , and spoke at considerable length . His 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 in behalf of Hungary . At the conclusion of his speech J . Hi was warmly congratulated by a number of Hungarians , Poles , Germans , < fec . 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 Momton moved , and Lord D . Stuart seconded , a vote of thanks to Alderman Salomons for his conduct in the chair , which having been passed , the meeting terminated at half-past five o clock .

      Hamilton . —A public meeting was held in the Masons' Hall , on Monday evening , to sympathise with the Republics of Rome , Baden , and Hungavy and to express dissatisfaction with those continental powers who are unjustly leagued against them . Mv . J . Anderson , lace manufacturer , was called to the chair . He stated that he was happy to take part in tho meeting , seeing it was got up for such a praiseworthy object . They were called together to exercise the nob ' lest powers of tho soul , namely , to love and sympathise with their oppressed brothers in Rome , Baden , and Hungary , who were murdered by the leagued enemies of freedom , for carrying out the principle of self-government . lie was an advocate for peace , and he hoped that the time would soon arrive when peace would bo established amongst all

      the nations of the earth . After a few appropriate remarks , he introduced the business of the evening . Resolutions were unanimously agreed to , embodying tho inalienable right of every nation to self-government ; depreciating the base conduct of France , Austria , and Russia ; sympathising with the brave people of Home , Baden , and Hungary ; and calling upon the British government to put an end to the scenes of unholy war carried on on the continent . A petition was adopted and sent to Lord Lincoln , for presentation in the House of Commona . Messv 9 . Weir , Sage , Rae , Ei'ving , M'Donald , and Smith addressed the meeting with groat ability ; the sentiments they uttered gave evidence that they knew and felt the importance of the subject , and the meeting appreciated their statements with repeated marks of applause .

      - ^— THE MINERS OF THE NORTH . TO THE EDITOR OP TIIE NQUTHERN STAR . Sin , —The Miners of the North , are again in trouble , again obliged to resist the encroachments q { their employers , ivho } despite of entreaty , of reason , and of argument , seem determined to chronicle their deeds of infamy and baseness in the page of social history .

      The Miners were , in 1844 , compelled to make a stand against the introduction of the monthly bond , well knwing that its purpose and intent was to strangle all future efforts to raise the standard of union and freedom among the -workmen , by keeping constantl y suspended over the heads of those who might be bold enough to speak of such matters , the dread of instant dismissal from then * work ; or , at the most , to leave at a month ' s notice . Irrespective of the machinery of the masters , their tyranny begat complaints , and the brave colliers of Deleval and Cowpar successfully

      withstood the attempt to reduce their prices ; and , having added another lesson to their former experience , they determined to form the union once more , so that they might be better prepared to withstand any attempt at reducing their prices . This union is in progross , and having increased alarmingl y in the last fe % v Aveeks , the employers have resolved to stop its further progress by the issuing of a bond making it imperative to leave the union or be dismissed the employment instantly and direct . Up to this time the workmen have submitted to many little deprivations rather than strike , and thereby endanger their cause ; but now they have no alternative , they

      must strike or leave the union—must give up tho only defence they possess against tyranny and oppression , or perish in the lane and road side ; for the next step after leaving work will be to turn them from the houses . Well bad and severe as this ordeal may be—and the men have tried it before—I have great pleasure in stating that the workmen are resolved to test once more the strength of . their employers , and thereby establish their right to meet and discuss their grievances , and to fix the rate of wages and the hours of work , which by the laws of the realm they are entitled to do . . Yours &c , M . Jude .

      THE YORKSHIRE MINERS . The miners of Gildersome and Adwalton have of late held several spirited meetings in this neighbourhood , for the purpose of again causing the miners of the West Riding to fly to that only salvation— " Union , and restriction oflabour .

      sey , ; and George Brown , of Wakefield , when the following principles were ably responded to ;— " Union is strength , " " Restriction causes a demand for labour , " " The Land —as giving not only the franchise , but affording a refuge for miners who might bo discharged from their employment for acting on principle ; » after which the meeting dispersed and the members retired to their lodge .

      Fatal Shipwrsck . —Twenty-seven Lives Lost . —Bv the arrival of the Maria Watson , irom the Isle of Pines , in the South Seas , intelligence is brought communicating the total loss of the ship Scamander ,: on a reef of rocks off New Caledonia , with the melancholy sacrifice of all hands excepting three . The Scamander at the time of the unexpected calamity was bearing for the Isle of Pines station for water and provisions on the night of the 15 tn ot February . At ten o'clock the south reef or New Ualedonia was observed on the port quarter , and within ten minutes afterwards she struck on it with tremendous force . The moment after she struck a terrific sea broke upon her , instantly sweeping overboard ine whole crew , excepting two , who clung to the maia rigging and foreyard . Of the twenty-eight washed overboard , only one succeeded in regaining the vessel . The remainder perished at one swoop . The master , Mr . Mill , had been confined to his cabin for some ^ , ^ ,

      days from a painful illness , and although the cabin was nearly full of water , he could not , on account of extreme weakness ) reach the deck . A second heavy sea soon after thundered over her , throwing the vessel on her beam , ends , where she would have soon been dashed to pieces but for the unfortunate master , who , making himself heard to the surviving seamen , they with the utmost expedition cutaway the masts and rigging . This bo far lightened the ship that she immediately righted , and the next sea carried her high and dry on the reef . The nest day the gale having moderated , as much fresh water and provisions as could begot out of the wreck was stowed away in one of the whale boats , -with which the master and the three surviving men put to sea , and made for the Isle of Pine 3 . When they quitted the reef , the vessel was a complete wreck . The names of the survivors are , Thomas Underwood , Joseph Gabriel , and a South Sea Islander . The ship was insured .

      CATTLE . Sjiithfiei . p , Monday , July 23 , — The number of Foreign beasts and calves in . to-day ' s market was but moderate , the time of year considered . That of sheep was extensive . Comparatively speaking , the quality ef the stock was good . There was a decided increase in the supply of home-fed beasts here this morning . Still , however , the beef trade , as the dead markets were very scantily supplied and the attendance of both town and country buyers was extensive , ruled tolerably firm at fully last week ' s quotations , and at which a good clearance was . effected . The best Scots were setting at from 3 s ioa to 4 s per 81 Ds . The supply of sheep was about 2 , 000 less than that exhibited on Monday last , yet it Jproved seasonably large . All breeds commanded a steady , though not to say brisk inquiry , at full prices ; the primest old Downs producing 3 s lOd to 4 s per 3 lbs , The best lambs moved off freely , . at extreme quotations . Ia other breeds only a limited business was transacted , at late rates . For calves the inquiry was in a very inactive state , and iu some instances the currencies had a downward tendency . The pork trade was in a very depressed state , at last week ' s prices .
