THE EGYPTIAN RAILWAY.-MEETING AT TIIE LONDON TAVERN. A large and influential meeting of merchants And Otter , interested in the improvement of the communication with India and China, de Egypt, was held yesterday' at the London Tavern; Mr. nut:U. 011611180r1 in the chair. l'pwsrda of two hundred gentlemen, including several encinhers of parliament, were present. The CHAIIIMAN, in his opening remarks observed, it would not be necessary fur him to detain them with any long introductory address, but he would proceed at once to state that the overland mute to India and China through Egypt being in danger, it was the object of the present meeting to take into consideration what means might be adopted to avert no great a calamity to the commercial inte rests of this country. WI any injury to that splendid line of communication would prove. (('heers.) Nor would any interruption to that line be calamitous to our com mo me alone, but it would also be extremely pre judicial to the government of our great eastern empire, and, he had almost said, embarrassing to her Majesty's ministers—(cheers)—as it would certainly be distressing to thousands of families whose nearest and dearest relatives were so far from them. (Renewed cheers.) Above all, and what most dwell most upon their thoughts, a safe and rapid mode of communication, and of penunal intercourse between different COUntrieNstal universally found the most effectual means of promoting the civilisation, peace, welfare, and happiness of all the nations of the world. (Applause.) But, descending from these lofty ideas he would proceed to state the business of the meeting. This liar of communication had been carried on most satisfac terily fur more than ten years. It was established by that ' great and wonderful man Mohamed Ali—(cheer.) —who foresaw that great advantage would accrue from it to his empire. Under his successor Ibrahim Paella and the present 'Viceroy of Egypt, Abbas Pact s, it has also, been carried on as satisfactorily. In fact, Abbas Puha, emulating the example of his grandaire, had projected that greatest of all improvements—a railroad across the desert. (Cheers.) The Sultan, however, to the ps risct consternation of all the ponies in that country who were interested in the scheme, had interfered, and prohi biter' its completion. (Hear, hear.) But it was contended that by the treaty of 1841, guaranteed by all the great powers of Europe, the Sultan had uo longer the right to interfere at all with the internal affairs of Egypt ; and, in deed, upon former occasions, greater works, if that were possible, had been executed without asking or obtaining his sanction. Amongst these were what was called the barrage of the Nile and the fortifications of Alexandria—two great works which had been begun and carried on without a thought of soliciting the authority of the Sublime Porte. On this point, in reply to a question put to him on the 6th of August by Mr. Urquhart, in the (louse of Commons, the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs stated that ° Undoubtedly it was the opinion of the government, which had expressed that opinion to both parties, that the Puha of Egypt was entitled to make the railroad out of his own funds, according to the forms of the *man, which was granted to him in 1841." ( Cheers .) It woul d there fore he for the meeting to consider whether they EMU not propose to the government to take up this great evesdia • and he certainly thought that when they recollected lei many and much more difficult questions the noble lord, M present the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, had overcome and settled, they would be of opinion that the settlement of this would not be a very difficult matter for him to effect. (Cheers.) Ile (Mr. Oregon) almost wished to see the time when the Sultan should imitate the eusiel• of Mir Nos gracious Sovereign, and visit the different parts of his di. minions; and at all events he should like to see him is Ml► pane with the Pacha of Egypt and Lord Palmerston, pressatt at the opening of this railway. (Cheers and laughter) In the meantime he hoped that the question would be taken up in every commercial and manufacturing district throughout the length and breadth of the land ; nor could he sit down without acknowledging the obli gations they were nadar to the pees. (Mar, hoar.) The leading pmen had ell written meat able and admirable Mein upon the naldest the past week and as they hail doubtless hue, permed by meet of those present, it wail sot be Ise him to trespass further apes their time (Clem.) .

It was, therefore, of the greatest importance that they should make applicatisa to government to see that the convention of keel was fairly canted out. (Cheers.) The case of Tunis was exactly similar. Whew the Sultan attempted to interfere with that conalgs which bad been under an hereditary government for 200 years, Trance at once sent • fleet to Tunis and settled the matter. There bad been in that case no convention, but Frame saw that the attempt of the Porte threatened her pomessions Is Algiers, end she hesitated not to take prompt steps to avert the danger. (Cheers.) He thought their example ought to fonowed by our government; and besides, if Abbas Paella were not supported, they might expect French tate nsts prevail in • manner that he should bush deprecate. The motion having been seconded be Mr. BARLOW, Er. LEWIN perfectly agreed with the chairman and the hit speaker in much that they had advanced, but he told that th e y o ug ht no t to have confounded the wa ft:flea and the postal communications, which were entirely d "tioct.

(Heet, hex.) The CHAIRMAN explained that be had only repro seated the Sultan as interfering with the improvement of the line of communication. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then put, end carried unanimously. Mr. A. ANDERSON, M.P., moved the second resolu tion, which censured the conduct of the Sublime Porte ' as calculated to injure British interests, and called for the prompt and active interposition of the government. Mr. Andenon also moved tke adoption of the following memo- . " To the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P., First Lord Commissioner of her Majesty's Treasury, &c., &c., &c. The memorial of the undersigned merchants and others interested in the communications through Egypt with India, China, and other places in the east, Showeth—That the safety, facility, and permanent maintenance of the transit through Egypt for the public mails and despatches, travellers, treasure, and valuable ar ticles of merchandise to and from the east has become an object of great national importance, whether considered with reference to the commercial, political, or social inte rests of Great Britain and her vast oriental dependencies and commercial relations. . . " That it therefore merits the anxious solicitude and active support of her Majesty's government. "That under the administration of the government of Egypt by the late Mehemet Ali Pacha, Ibrahim Puha, and more particularly by his Highness Ab bas, the present Pacha of Egypt, this transit has been efficiently protected and greatly improved, at a cost far exceeding any pecuniary benefit ea which they have yet derived from it. " That his highness the present Pacha, with the view of further improving this transit, had determined to construct ' a railway through Egypt, and has actually contracted with an eminent engineer and fur material to the amount of two hundred thousand pounds sterling for constructing it; also that a considerable number of engineers and mechanics have already been sent to Egypt to assist in its construction. " That your memorialists have learned with considerable alarm that the Ottoman Porte has claimed a power to annul the arrangements made by the Pasha for constructing this railway. " Also that the Porte seeks to deprive the Pacha of the authority which his predecessors have since the treaty of NMI pmres d and exercised i• Egypt, and which is male deice indispensable to enable him to maintain the neaten* saheedisatioa and order in that country. "'That your memorialista, and particularly some of them who have resided in, and are well acquainted with the eir -11111111111/1181111 of, Egypt, are of opinion, that elioald the Porte enforce these pretensions, not only will the construction of the railway be indefinitely postponed and all other improve. ments stopped, but the security which the transit of the mails, &e., has hitherto enjoyed, as well as its permanency, will be seriously endangered. " Your memorialists therefore respectfully address you, as the head of her Majesty's government, with the view of averting a result fraught with such serious dangers to the important British interests involved in the questions now pending between the Porte and the Pacha of Egypt ; praying that the prompt and active interference of the exe cutive government may be used to induce the Forte to withdraw the interference which she now for the first time has put forward, and which your memorialists consider canuut be sustained under the arrangement of 1811, fur' vesting the hereditary administration of Egypt in the family of the late Mehemet An. " Your memorialists would further suggest and recom mend that a formal convention or contract be entered into, with a view to secure permanently the facility and safety of ets mil transit through Egypt. - Uwe unnecessary to say much upon the ins illi thla sabocet, but he fully agreed with the 101 l peep o rtetsace Is an able pansphlet recently published, entitled "Pre mise Oasis in Egypt," with the author of w be was alikag ussequaiuted :—" We can think of se ate event Ma among se great • panic in the City, at the ime. and throughout the kingdom generally, as ea sansemelllBollt in one of the morning journals in porton toesespitals ' Stoppage of the Overland Communication with India;' and yet how little pains have we taken during the ten years these communications have been in activity, to prevent such a disastrous occurrence! Nay more, we have looked on passively while means have been organised which at any time might be brought to bear in that manner." (Cheers.) The present meeting was called chiefly, if not entirely, for a commercial object. It was not the ink's , Lion of any one to go farther into politics than was absolutely necessary ; but British interests were involved to such an important extent, that it was necessary to ex plain what was the nature of the case. (Hear, bear.) The two points in dispute were first, the construction of the railway; and secondly, the introduction into Egypt of what wascalled the Tanzemast. Previous to Dell Mehemet Ali had been at war with the Sultan, and having gained a decisive battle there was nothing to prevent him from marching to Constantinople, and seizing the dominions of the Porte, of whom he was once the vassal but now the . conqueror. At this stage four of the European powers, Great Britain taking the lead, interfered, and Mehemet Ali was obliged to retire upon Egypt. Ultimately it was agreed that he and his family should be settled in the here ditary government of Egypt, with the entire management of the internal affairs or the country, but that he should pay • tribute of about 300,01.101. sterling to tho Sublime Porte. Until lately the Pasha could apply his surplus revenue as he g leased , but recently there bad been a de mised on the part of the Porte for his accounts, lest he should by entering on any extensive works, or contracting a foreign loan, place it out of his power to pay the tribute. Now he (Mr. Anderson) was of opinion that the l'orte had no right to insist upon his demand, and Lord Palmerston, who made the treaty, and ought to know what it meant, had clearly admitted that this Pacha had a right to make the railway. (Cheers.) The &num of the Sultan, in which the hereditary administration of the Egyptian government was settled on the Pasha's family, was cer tainly vaguely expressed, as most Oriental documents were ; but then if it was vague on one aide it was on the other. (Loud applause.) But what was the best inter preter of its meaning? Surely what had been done by each party during the last ten years. (Hear, hear.) During that time the 1 had formed the boceoge of the Nile, which was estimated to have cost a million sterling; and, what was a much stronger case, he had fortified Alexandria —works which might have been turned against the Sultan himself. In 1841 Ibrahim Pacha had made an agreement with the Peninsular and Oriental Company, to which he (Mr. Anderson) was himself a patty, in which he (Ibrahim Pacha) gave dim the right to navigate the waters of Egypt with boats under British colours; and he also swept away the transit duty of 3 per cent., and replaced it with one of only i per cent. —a change of great importance, and one without which it would have been impossible to have availed themselves of the Egyptian route. (Cheers.) And yet the consent of the Sultan was neither asked nor obtained for any of these things. (Hear, hear.) The " 'fanacmext" was a code of laws promulgated by the Porte, in which he concentrated in himself the power of lite and death, and of indicting certain other corporal punishments. The result would, therefore, be that the Pacha would have to send all such cases before the Divan at Constantinople. The l'acha contended that their laws were not applicable to Egypt, and lest any one should be inclined to side with the l'orte from motives of humanity, it would only be fair to state that though Egypt contained a population of 3,000,000, the whole number of persons who bad suffered capital punish ment during the last five years was only three. (Loud cheers.) This showed that there was no necessity for the imposition of the " Tantemast," but of course it would be impossible for the Pacha to keep Egypt in order unless he I had the prestige attaching to the power of life and death. (Hear, hear.) Another fact would also demonstrate the admirable manner in which the Pacha's government was administered. During the last twelve months two-and-a -! half millions of British property had passed through Egypt without escort, and yet without the loss of a single sixpence. Ile did not think there was any portion of Turkey of which ' they could say as much ; but in truth he would as soon send property from Alexandria to Sues as from London to Southampton. (Cheers.) Further, he could assert from 'senora ezperieuce, and from the testimony of many gen tle/weeks acquaintance, that to obtain any personal ob i jest hi Turkey they would meet with nothing but intrigue, Warm y, and extortion; whereas in Egypt they would Sod promptitude and reasonable demands, and a regard die mutual interests. (Cheers.) Ile regretted to say that Mr policy of Lord Palmerton had not been characterized with that *oar that might have been expected from his deinealisa la pathitamat. The Puha had not met with des smut he lad a thiht to receive, considering that he had brash" lap Immat difficulties upon himself by his satiety te MmtiV MENU with British interests. He had winced his sad deaf, rightly judging that the protec tion of Gnat would be better than soldiers or fleets. (Olsson.) He had broken up certain useless establishments, sad bad therein* beat obliged to discharge a great number et Fria& NNW of whom might have weight In tie yessiall at the Porte. (Hear, hear.) It was at also a ft way It to conceive that at the Divan at comentbegia, it would be much more agreeable to have Mr. Stepheama them staking his contracts and apply ing for his &mum (Chem.) He trusted, however, that whatever might be the eases of this want of support on the part of Lord Palmerston, the merchants and commercial men interested in the matter could express their opinions on the subject. (Cheers.) They were bound, both by in. terest and honour, to insist that this man who had done so much for them should not be left to be crushed—(loud cheers)—but that they should take some means of express ing their opinions, and should give him aU the moral sup port in their power. (Renewed cheers.) He trusted that whatever jealousy other countries migh t entertain upon this subject, Great Britain was not f allen so low that she could not take her own part, when her own interests were so extensively assailed. (Loud cheers.) Mr. LARKING seconded the resolution. Formerly the Porte decreed that the laws of Turkey should be supreme over the whole of the Sultan's dominions, but that they should be modified in Egypt to suit local circumstances. Now, however, it was demanded that those local circum stances should be disregarded, and no adaptations allowed. The great improvement which the Pasha of Egypt bad in troduced had been perfected chiefly by his rigid impar tiality, by which he had taught the Egyptians to see that he made no difference between the disciples of Christ and the followers of Mehemet. (Cheers.) In proof of this Mr. Larking mentioned the Viceroy's li beral ral gift of a fine site for the protestant church of St. Mark. Capt. ATCIIERLEY here attempted to interrupt the proceedings, but the motion was put and carried unani mously, the meeting paying no attention to the remarks of the gallant and eccentric officer. Mr. FOSTER, a member of the council of Port Philip, moved that a committee be appointed to procure signatures to the memorial, to present it, to communicate personally or otherwise with the government, to endeavour to procure the co-operation of parties in other parts of the kingdom, and to call another meeting to receive a report of their proceedings, lie (Mr. F.) would not have attended the meeting had he not felt that the rapid communication with the Australian colonies was also at stake. (Cheers.) The importance of this would probably soon increase to a great THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1851. extent, on account of the recent discovery of mineral treasures in Australia, and at the present moment he had letters which had arrived nearly a month later by this route than by the other line. (Cheers.) When the steam communisation should be continued this would probably be the most rapid postal communication in existence. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously. The following gentlemen were nominated committeemen —Mr. ()region ' Mr. A. Anderson, M.P., Mr. Briggs, Mr. Lindesa Mr. Larking, Mr. Matheson, M.P., Mr. Raikes Currie, M.P.,Mr. Macgregor, M.P., Mr. J. IL Foster, and Mr. G. B. Barton. Mr. MACGREGOR, M.P., proposed a resolution thank ing the Viceroy of Egypt for his exertions to improve the route. (Cheers.) The cause of commerce was that of civilisation, and those who opposed the rapid means of com munication between one country and another were, perhaps unconsciously, obstructing the march of human progress. (Cheers.) Having been at the Board of Trade for several years, and when the treaty was negotiated—(hear, hear) — and having had all treaties of a similar nature, and such as affected the channels of British commerce under his special attention, it was his opinion, as be believed it to be that of the government which succeeded that under which the treaty with the Sublime Porte was signed, that the Porte had no right whatever to interfere with the internal affairs of Egypt. (Loud cheers.) This he believed to be the opi nion of Lord Palmerston, not only now, but at the time the treaty was made. (Renewed cheers.) Ho (Mr. Macgregor) believed that this movement did not originate with the Porte, but from some source not friendly to British inte rests. (Cheers.) Captain ATCHERLEY—The Greek and catholic church. (Loud laughter.) Mr. MACGREGOR heped that the merchants of this country, that every manufacturing community, that the shipowners, nay more, that all those who profited by those great classes, would reaist,this attempt to stop one of the great channels of commercial intercourse. (Cheers.) He believed that they had only strongly to express their opi nions, and they would have their effect, net only on the cabinet ma on the British parliament, but would command the respect of foreign nations. (Cheers.) At the same ' time ht sought for no exclusive privileges for England, but ' he wished the commercial interests of the world to form one great commonwealth of friendship and mutual advantage. (Cheers.) At a time when we were acting offensively to ' wads Mehemet Ali, if he had not behaved on the truly Christian principle of doing as he would be done by, he might have placed us in a most embarrassing position, Inas ' much as the least signal would have brought down upon us a horde of Bedouin Arabs. (Cheers.) Re (Mr. Macgregor) thought, therefore, that the meeting would gladly adopt his resolution. (Cheers.) General BRIGGS seconded the motion, which was car- ried unanimously. Mr. AGLIONBY, M.P., proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, who, having returned thanks, the meeting broke up in some little confusion, caused by Captain Atcherlcy's loud protest against his having been put down by the Chairman. KOSSUTH. MEETING IN --- A preliminary meeting was held yesterday even ing at the King's Arms, Palace-yard, Westminster, to take into consideration the best means of manifesting respect for Kossuth and the great principles of constitutional liberty. The chair was taken by Mr. T. Pnotrr. The CHAIRMAN said he had received the following letter from Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P. for the City of West minster " Dryanston-square, Oct. 13, 18a. " My dear Sir ' —I met yesterday your nephew, and had the pleasure of h earing from him of steps being taken with a view to an expression of public feeling in Westminster on the occasion of the arrival in this country of the late Go vernor of Hungary. As I should heartily concur in such a proceeding, I shall certainly feel it a duty to attend any meeting of my constituents upon it if in England at the time. " The Austrian agents in this country, in order to pre vent these expressions of opinion, present to us a charge of pecuniary malversation. but against whom ? Against the individual actually invited and selected by a noble and aris tocratic Hungarian cabinet to administer, as their colleague, the national finances. Nay more, that appointment was confirmed by the imperial Austrian government. So much foe the gravity, then, attached to this imputation by the highest and most unimpeached public men of both those countries. Kossuth voluntarily resigned the finance department, on ascertaining, or being convinced, that no confidence could be placed in the good faith of the Austrian govern ment. The subsequent conduct of that government does not discredit his convictions on that point. " Whether the more aristocratic or the radical liberals et Hungary were the most pure in motives, or most politic I. coseluct, is not the question we have to consider, nor have we information upon it that we can rely on to guide us to • decision. " What I believe, and that which I think the English pub lic generally believe, is that the popular cause,which was eons tended tor .n Hungary, was a good one, and well deserving' the sympathy of all honest reformers. And who will pointout to us the person more conspicuously identified with that cause, and to whom we may address the expression of our sentiments, therefore, more fittingly than this illus. trious exile, called, as we know he was, by the voice of Ws country to preside over its councils in its most perilous emergency, and who so gloriously sustained that mown toss trust 1 The nationality as well as the liberties of Hun gary have been destroyed by the armies of foreign despots. But it was not a street or town emeute that we refer to—it was a national movement. None other could have enabled the Hungarian patriots to chase the Austrian hordes from their territory. Their just wishes, therefore, we will san guinely hope may yet be accomplished.—Most faithfully, my dear sir, yours, " DE LACY EVANS.' P.S. Igo to-morrow, for a short time, to the continent, but shall be enabled to postpone my departure from Folke stone for a week, till I hear what may be the decision la estminster on this subject." ' The CHAIRMAN then said he was sure that on an otisee sion like that which had arisen, the men of Westminster would not be backward in testifying their admiration uI the illustrious individual who was about to visit the shores of this country. The history of Hungary resembled to a great extent that of England; and Kossuth and his com panions had only struggled for what our forefathers had succeeded in obtaining, and what, it' had been demon strated, led in our case to prosperity and to hap piness. (Hear, hear.) It had been alleged in journals subservient to Austria. that Kossuth had damaged his character by the misappropriation of monies; and though he was not charged with applying to his own use the public funds, it was certainly Ming attempted by a side-wind to pi event him from meeting with that sympathy on his arrival in this country to which he was entitled. He ' recollected having seen a statement in the Times that Kos suth, being indebted to a merchant at Pesth to the extent of 601., dishonoured a bill. Now, though no one was im maculate, they ought not to give implicit credence to a i statement emanating from suck a quarter—(hear,hear)—and even if it were true, it went to prove only that when finae cial minister of Hungary, Kossuth would not abuse his:public character to discharge a private debt. (Hear, hear.) They all knew, however, the rancorous enmity of Austria to- I wards the Hungarian liberals, and should be on their guard against any attempt to mislead them, and to prevent them from expressing their sympathy. It was the wish of those who had convened this meet inp that a public meeting should be called in West minster to agree to an address of congratulation to Kossuth, and he trusted that it would be a meeting worthy of the past reputation of Westminster. Mr. T. SAUNDERS, on rising to move the first resolu tion, said the subject was one far removed above private considerations. They were now beginning to learn some thing of Hungary, historically and politically ; and he, fur one, would hail the arrival of Kossuth as an event of great importance in connexion with the value of our own institu tions. It was nothing to them what Louis Kouuth's pri vate antecedents were ; but, nevertheless, he was satisfied that the aspersions cast upon him were but the usual weapons of an envenomed autocracy. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) It bad ever been the case that when the cause of constitutional freedom had been discussed, endeavours had been made to throw obloquy upon those who were most forward in maintaining it. (Hear, hear.) It was because he had defended his country—because he had studied her constitution, and endeavoured to maintain it inviolate, that the inhabitants of this country sympathised with Kossuth. (Cheers.) He concluded by moving a resolution declaring it to be the opinion of the meeting that an address should he drawn up, and submitted to a public meeting In West minster, for presentation to Kossuth soon after his arrival in this country. Mr. GEORGE seconded the resolution. He hoped the men of Westminster would show the Times that the charges which it published against Kossuth had no effect upon their opinions. (Cheers.) Similar charges were made, and re• fated, several months ago. But— Destroy the ne at sopbtstt7 In vein. The ere:Atlas's at tun dirty work again. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The heading which we have been accustomed for some months to give to this department of the day's news has now become almost a misnomer, es the contents of the Crystal Palace are no longer exhibited to the general public. Only those who have contributed to its attractiveness , have now any admission within its glassy walls, and even their privilege is rapidly approaching its termination. The ex hibitors and friends mustered yesterday to the number of between thirty and forty thousand, giving the building and its vicinity all the bustle of an ordinary shilling day. The number of foreigners present was remarkable, and the gene ral company were exceedingly respect►ble in appearance. Her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, and attended by the usual suite, paid an early visit, and spent upwards of an hour in examining and making selections in various de partments. This may be the proper place for stating that her Majesty cannot, consistently with court etiquette, be present at this day's closing ceremonial. It is not, it appears, usual for her Majesty to appear in public when Prince Albert presides at any ceremonial, except in full state its Queen Regnant. Her Majesty spent a considerable time is the Hussiau department, and honourA the commissioner with a message to the Emperor, expressive of her regret that circum stances had deprived the Crystal Palace of the imperial presence during the summer. Immediately after the gene ral opening of the doors at 12 o'clock, the interior resembled a bazaar, so brisk and general was the trade going on. Purchasers were found for many of the more valuable ar ticles, and the sales would have been more general but for the exorbitant prices asked in many cases. It is ge nerally believed that a vast amount of the imported property will ultimately find purchasers in this coun try. Several of the more rare and costly articles in the French court were observed to be tied round with red tape, the meaning of which was that these articles have been selected to contend far the prize of 1,0001. offered by the Goldsmiths' Company for the best spe cimen of workmanship in gold or silver plate. It is to be hoped that the committee appointed to select will not over ook the small glass case in the Holland court, in which M. Van Kempen has arranged, on successive shelves, pieces of plate, illustrating the various styles in which, at different periods, the precious metals have been moulded. Whatever may be their merit as mere pieces of workmanship, nothing possibly could be more suggestive than their arrangement, lor more useful in teaching the eye at a glance the meaning leif distinctive terms, which are in everybody's mouth, with out, perhaps, being generally understood. At the top stands the elegant antique cup, relying on form alone for beauty. Then comes the stiff ecclesiastical Gothic, the type et the dark ages. Lower down the quaint renaissance sows the fitness of its name in its prim and slender ap proaches to ornament; and on the next shelf these pro mising buds ripen into the courtly blossoms of the Louis Quatorze, and burst on the lowest into full blow la the florid and luxurious specimen of the style failed Louis Quinn. The symptoms of the end ate rapidly accumulating. The crystal fountain, the "observed of all observers," has disappeared to make room for the platform upon which Prince Albert is to take leave of the notabilities of the Exhibition. Too much praise can sot be given to Mr. Oslcr fur the promptitude with which be consented to the premature removal of this triumph of bis at te inset the exigencies of the concluding ceremonial. ♦ pemcespe of no inconsiderable importance has after a aYI ollkient performance of his mission, taken his final leave and is, while the public read these lines, well on his way to his home beyond the deep. The frequenters of the Exhibition may have observed a well dressed quiet looking gentleman, who daily promenaded the nave, and looked curiously at every iedividual whose nasal intonation gave the slightest indication that he came from the model repub lic. Nothing could be milder or more decidedly Saxon than this gentleman's appearance, and yet his placid countenance was a vision of terror to many adventurous if not chivalrous spirits. Not to keep the public any longer in suspense, the person to whom we allude is Mr. It. W. Bowyer, one of the chiefs of the New York police, and who was sent over here on a special mission to take care of the light-fingered gentry of the States, and to see that they were not imposed upon, in their anxiety to become acquainted with the wonders of the Crystal Palace. His presence, we believe, had the effect of keeping them away altogether. One of the most notorious, who had come over here on a professional tour, was met by Mr. Bowyer on Blackfriars Bridge, and on being recognised, much to his surprise, by so old an acquaintance, begged hard to be allowed the privilege of a peep at the Exhibition, without the formality of recognition. The ambassador wax, however, inexorable, and the Chevalier dindustrie was obliged to forego his visit. This is only one of the many instances in which Mr. Bowyer's presence has saved the treasures of the Crystal Palace from the experiments of American picklocks, much more skilful than Mr. Hobbs, although by no means so ostentatious in boasting of their proficiency. We arc happy to add that this officer leaves behind him a most favourable impression amongst those best qualified to judge of his professional acuteness and great propriety of conduct and deportment. Before leav ing the subject of police merits, British and foreign, we must discharge a debt of justice to Mr. Tunstall, tho inspector, whose arduous duty it has been to pilot obese matrons and timid virgins through the horrors of the middle passage, between the outer gate and the transept. There is no doubt but that for this active officer's precautions many accidents would have occurred during the crowded days of the Exhibition. The collection for a museum of specimens pronesses daily. Contributions pour in from all the foreign exhibitors, and the Paeha of Egypt has gone so far as to command that before any tale of his exhibits takes place, the commission must have the privilege of taking whatever articles they may select. Sub joined will be found an address to the British exhibitors, asking for similar liberality. " To Diurnal EIIIIIIITORS.—Many of the foreign mi le commissioners having represented that international sentages would be likely to arise if their countries pos somed a collection of specimens of raw materials and pro. deer, and patterns of some classes of manufactures shown by British exhibitors, together with the wholesale prices of them, and having expressed a desire that such collections should be formed, her Majesty's Commissioners have au thorised the executive committee to assist in forming them. British exhibitors who may be willing to present specimens sod patterns for this purpose are requested to communicate immediately with Lieutenant Tyler, R.E. ; but in those eases where they may not consider such presentation to be a sufficient commercial advantage to themselves, the execu tive committee are authorised to treat for the purchase of the necessary quantities, and exhibitors are requested to forward their terms for the purchase to Lieutenant Tyler before removing their articles from the building.--M. DIOBY W TAIT. Sec. Exhibition Building, Oct 14. The following shows the temperature yesterday, as recorded by Mr. Bennett's thermometers, being the mean result of 100 readings :-10 o'clock, 58 ; 12 o'clock, 60 ; 2 o'clock, 63 ; 4 o'clock, 63 ; 6 o'clock, 60. Mean tempera ture, 60.8. Barometer at 1 o'clock, 29.9. the Exhibition of 18.51, and being in itself a work of art and beauty, ought to be preserved as a national memorial of _ . that great and successful undertaking. Mr. J. A. HUGHES, in seconding the resolution, ob served that this was the first public meeting which had plainly declared that the Crystal Palace ought to be pre served, but ho trusted it would be the precursor of many more. The fact that nearly six millions of people had come together in this building without any hostile feeling being excited, ought of itself to consecrate it to posterity. As a specimen of civil engineering, the building was unrivalled; though composed of the most brittle materials, it was of the utmost strength. Considering that the building was already in existence, and remembering the want which had been felt of such a building, in the metropolis, surely no one would consent to its destruction. Its extent was such that it might be laid out so as to comprise a picture gallery, and sculpture gallery, and a winter garden, interspersed with statues. (Cheers.) The resolution was unanimously adopted, as was each of the suceeding ones. Mr. RUSSELL moved the second resolution, to the effect, that it was desirable fur the people of London espe. cially to bestir themselves in this matter, and, by subscrip tions, public meetings, and petitions to the legislature, en deavour to preserve the building either fur a winter garden, or for other purposes beneficial to the public at large. Re ferring to the objections which had been raised by Lord Campbell and other residents of the neighbourhood to the continuance of the Crystal Palace, he observed that the doubt which had been thrown on its stability was at once removed by the fact that it had been daily subjected, for six months, to a more severe trial than it would ever again be exposed to. (Hear, hear.) Ile protested against its re moval to Battersea; were it erected there it would be a mere glass house, instead of a hallowed sanctuary, as it was at present ; sooner let it be destroyed altogether. (Rear.) It would be an eternal disgrace to England, if. amid the perpetuity which would be given to the lessons of peace and concord inculcated by the gathering of all nations in 18.31, the very shrine and temple in which this gospel of peace was inculcated should be levelled with the ground. (Cheers.) Reared amidst difficulties and opposition, yet most triumphant in its success, nothing would be more suicidal than to destroy the most prominent evidence of the glorious results of the Cheat Exhibition. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SUTCLIFFE seconded the resolution. Mr. T. BEARD moved the adoption of a petition to the legislature founded on the foregoing resolutions. Mr. WICKHAM seconded the resolution. Thanks were voted to the ckairman, and the meeting then adjourned. MIDDLESEX AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. BEDFONT, Ty ISSDA Y. This afternoon the annual meeting of this society took place in this town. The proceedings in the early part of the day consisted in ploughing matches and contests in other agricultural pursuits, the prizes being distributed by Sir F. l'ollock (the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer). At the conclusion of the distribution of prizes, the com pany assembled for dinner, when Sir F. POLLOCK took the chair, supported by Sir W. Clay, M.P., Col. Wood, Capt. Wood, the ltev. Mr. Revings, the vicar, and most of the resident gentry. Grace having been said and the usual loyal toasts drunk, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the members fur the county. Sir W. CLAY, in returning thanks, produced a letter from Lord It. Grosvenor, alleging ill health as a cause for hie absence. In the few words which he proposed to address to them in return for the honour they had done him, he should find it exceedingly difficult to adhere perfectly to the wise rule which had always been observed in that society, viz., abstaining altogether front political questions. (Hear.) They had for good or for evil (which he need not then stay to inquire) within the last few years passed measures which wore the appearance of being a hard measure of justice to wards a2riculture. (Hear.) Those measures were passed under the deep conviction not only of their value, but of the truth of the principles on which they were founded. Time alone would show whether the great majority by whom those measures were passed were right or wrong, but this he could say that those measures had met with a noble sup port from the British farmer. (Cheers.) In what agricul tural district bad it been shown from the specimens given that the skill of the farmer had been inferior since protec tion had been taken away -on the contrary, there had been redoubled exertion—and they would permit him to say that whatever might be the future course of events, such con duct was the true path of wisdom before them. He did not say that they need be encouraged to do this by any hope of an altered policy. If it was found impossible to restore protection, formally surrendered, they could then say that they had at least done that which became them as Eng lishmen. Sir F. POLLOCK said he had now to propose what ho considered the toast of the evening—" Success to the Mid dlesex Agricultural Association." (Loud cheers.) That was a toast which they would all drink heartily, but which he felt considerable diftLmlty in recommending to their notice. Since he had been upon the bench he felt more hesitation than was natural to gentlemen at the bar— (laughter), and so they would excuse any imperfection they might discover in him while addressing them on this sub ject. From the earliest times the society bad been con ducted upon principles entirely irrespective of any personal feelings or interests of agriculturists as opposed to any other class of the community. He (Sir F. Pollock) by no means considered it the least result of their periodical assemblies that they promoted amongst themselves kind and generous feelings, and extended such feelings towards their neigh bours around them. (Hear, hear.) These were objects, he thought, worthy of their periodical assemblies, and were a sufficient recommendation of the society under whose aus pices they were asssembled. In conclusion, he advised agriculturists to keep a strict look out, to bet active and vigilant, to labour, to toil. That was a course which would be certain to bring its own reward. The world did not reward genius, but industry. When genius allied itself with industry, and did that which was useful to the world, it received the highest reward, but genius by itself re ceived no reward whatever. The Lord Chief Baron con cluded by proposing " Success to the Middlesex Agricul tural Society." The toast was received with loud and long continued ma nifestations of applause. Mr. SHERMAN, the treasurer, acknowledged the toast, and read a report, which gave an account of the operations of the Society during the past year. Several complimentary toasts followed, and were duly acknowledged. Shortly after 10 o'clock the Lord Chief Baron retired from the chair, and was loudly cheered. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL.

A meeting of gentlemen favourable to this object was held last evening at the Sussex Arms, Englefield-road. There was a numerous attendance. Mr. JOHN CARR presided, and stated that the meeting bal egiginated in the desire so generally felt for the pre servation of the Crystal Palace in its original state and on its present site. Mr. ADDISCOTT expressed his conviction that it was the universal feeling of the country that the Crystal Palace aught not to be removed. A building so admirable in its slessinsin and general appearance, so anique in its material sad penpeees, ought to be prrserved as a national memorial of the genteel enterprise which a nation or a prince ever attempted. (Cheers.) In that building appropriate homage had been paid, even on the opening day, to the genius of toil sad industry ; in its honour an anthem of rejoicing had been raised, the echoes of which had not yet died away. (Hear.) The success of the Exhibition had been rendered more striking by the falsification of the sinister forebodings in which many had indulged respecting the results of the un dertaking. On these and other grounds, tho spot aow oc cupied by the Crystal Palace ought to be consecrated in the eyes of Englishmen, and any suggestion for its removal should be regarded as little less than sacrilege. (Cheers.) Around the crystal fountain had assembled men of all ranks, nations, creeds, and classes, and they had slaked their thirst from a common source. (Hear, hear.) After such hallowed associations had been clustered around the Crystal Palace, he deprecated the idea of the ground being again thrown open and ridden over by the habitues of the HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Ono of the most daring park. He trusted the royal commissionerswouldbe induced acts ac of highway robbery ever known in the neighbourh ood to grant out of their ample resources a trifle su ffici en t to put of Aberavon was perpetrated on Wednesday evening lest. the Crystal Palace in thorough repair ; parliament would A Mr. Benjamin Griffiths, a bookseller, from Denbigh, no doubt vote a sum sufficient for the annual expense ; and North Wales, was on his return home from a book slab, the people at large might safely be relied oa to raise by held at the school-room, Craig-y.Pah (Priest's Rock), when he was met by two ruffianly-looking fellows in the new ed ifice w hich might then be converted into& wi nter g arden, road leading from the Margam tit-works , one of whom • struck Mr. Griffiths a violent blow under the right ear in which the pnnicpal statues now exhibited m i g ht be ad which completely stunned him, and he fell.

Mr. WRIGHT moved the appointment of a committee to draw up the address, to take the required steps for car rying out the foregoing resolution, and to co-operate in any efforts for the benefit of Kossuth. Mr. MALLOCK seconded the resolution, which, after a short conversation, was adopted. On the motion of Mr. Hrooarr, the committee was nominated in accordance with the preceding resolutions.
