LITER 4 TUBE. 2e Kinytlom a tol People of Siam. Ity Sir Joint Bowetsu, F.R.S., her Avsty's Plenipotentiary in China. J. W. Parker. Exactly two tears ago the warlike English pleni potentiary in China was engaged on a mission in Slant, the conduct of which was in the highest de gree judicious and successful, standing in curious aontrast with the course which he has lately adopted in China. Sir John ilowring went to Siam for tl• purpose of negotiating a treaty of commerce with the king of tins country. Unlese such a treaty mold be effected commerce with the Siamese was practically impossible. I fireet duties were paid at Rae rate of 21'11. its. for each SiallnexsC fathom of a chip's beam. British subjects were comparatively unprotected. There was no resident consul, and, in act, none of the machiner y existed by which the nn of omeree werefacilitated. Sir John ef- L7lll purpose in a masterly manner. lie ap pears to have acted with as much perseverance as forbearance, and obtained terms which lie could scarcely have anticipated. The magnitude of what the plenipotentiary obtained may be unagined when we consider its important effects upon the Siamese economy. The consequences of a full carrying out of the provisions of the treaty will be a total revo lution in all the financial machinery of the govern ment—a thorough change in the whole system of taxation, a destruction of a large proportion of the existing sources of revenue, and an annihilation of a great number of privileges and monopolies, which Rave not only been lung established, but have been held by the most influential nobles and the highest functionaries of the state. Sir John arrived in the Bay of Siam, March 24, 1154,and was visited at first by custom-house officers : Our means of communication were intrieate enough: we emontuniested to our mandarin teacher in Chincee ; be bansdatc,l into Cantoneee ; a Cantonese man interpreted into Nolen; end from one of the &Jetta of Fookien, there was an "overturns into Siamese. On the 28th he received a letter from the King, brought by three high officers, in ant ornamented ease of gold. Other letters followed, but it was sonic Rate before arrangements could be settled as to the mode in which the Plenipotentiary should proceed to Bangkok. Sir John endeavoured to proceed in the Rattler, but this was objected to by the authorities. A compromise was effected, and he went up the river no the king's boats, and the Nattier followed twenty-four hours after. At twelve o'clock, eight state boats, and eta accompanying boats, come to (wort Ur to Bangkok.

Various endeavours to throw difficulties in the way of the negotiations, and the usual disputes about etiquette, took place, but the Plenipotentiary was uniformly successful. In the meantime the two kings were invariably kind, condescending, and bospdable. Both appear remarkable attached to the English, and acquainted with English customs and products: He took me to his privete apartments, ornamented with Beautiful pendulee and watches, statue. of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, handsome barometers. thermometers, Sic.

The king played to his goons very prettily on the pipes of the Laos portable organ. He had • variety of music and there was en exhibition of national sports awl partious, equestrian kat., elephant combista, and other rottue.micnts. But what seetorsi most to interest the king, was N. museum of models, nautical and philosophical instruments, and a variety of wientific and other curiosities.

So universal is the usage, so strong the pre- Judea to its favour among high and low, that the king himself has vainly attemp ted to interfere ; and hie young and i beautiful wife, though n a state of extreme peril and mattering, was *objected to this torture, and died while "before the tire" —s phrase employed by the Siallleht to an swer the inquiry mate so to the absence of the mother. A meelicd missionary told we he had been lately railed in to proirrihe fur a Indy who saes before the nre;" but ere he had reachod the house, the patient had died, and hitt. body and funeral pile had aten removed. There seems some mysteri ous idea of ponacation, such as in enure shape or other pre vails in many parts of tin world, asaociated with so crust a rite. Of the religious faith of the people the author sec •e : I found no indisposition among the Siamese to discuss religious questions; and the general result of the discus sions was—" Your religion is excellent fur you, and nun is excelkst for us. All countries do not pulite.' the ante fruit. and dowers, and we find various religions suited to various nations." The present king is so tolerant, that be gave three thousand slaves (prisoners of war) to he taught religion by the Catholic missionaries, saying, You may make Christiana of these people." I'olkgoix report.' eeveral conversations with the First King, which do honour to his liberal epirit. Persecution is hate ful," he said; "every nom ought to be free to profess the religion he prefers ." and he added—. If you convert a cer tain number of people anywhere, let tees know you ►are done ao ; mad I will give theta a Christian governor, and they shall not be annoyed by Siamese authorities." I have a letter Men the King, in which he rays that in the inquiries into the abstruse subject of the Godhead, we cannot tell who is right and who is wrong; but I will pray coy God to give you Ida blessing, and you must pray to your (Pod to Weft me; end so, blessings may descend upon both." Sir John Bowring made the hest use of his time while in Siam, and appears to have made a most favourable impression on the king, who wrote him several letters in tolerable English. From hid own observations, and an attentive perusal of the works of others, Sir John has been enabled to acquire a MSS of information on Siam of great value. Ile enters fully upon all questions of interest connected with that country, and has in short produced a work which must for some time at least be considered as the standard work on Siam. whom I am addressing—they are out of work, and want em- e ployntent. Now, gmtimin, will you aleandon the best in terest& of the srtlen foe the of bringing men into power merely because they are hungry and out of plate? Cer tainly not. Then they say you have only Lord Pal ineMon to choose. And who is Lord I'mtlineretton r Ile is a MD about whom three in a great tlilferenee of opinion, I admit. Would you make Lord Pahnentton a reformer I' I will tell you how. Return a reforming parliament to St. Stephen's Chapel, and I will be bound fur it that Lord Paboenton will be a reformer. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) Whatever his antecedents, be has done one thing which will perpetuate his name in history, end therefore ought to command our gratitude and our thanks In a moment of peril, when the nation, and the reputation of the nation, which in better than its wealth— at a moment when the intereets of the notion were in peril and in jeopardy, he interposed, saved us, and carried the war to a uterine, end. (Cheers.) Whatever you only think of Lord Palmerston, he has shown the wisdom of a statesman and the vigour of a man; and now that you are approaching to an election, let the constituents of Englend look about thou and chOore really enlightened and upright men to repnwent them. Lot them rend representatives, not delegat, not men with crotchets, but MOD capable of taking a large and an Ml' lighttnod view of the Int.:rent. of this country and of the world ; but, above all things, keep out the Derbyites. Let US unite them. Let them not board the vowel of the state, or drag down the flag of the nation. Let theta not again aiwandirtute the character of our navy, or poison the political food of the people. (Load cheers.) The Lomb Mayon having put the resolution, Mr. S. MOULEY proposed the following amendment "That the citizens of L,ndon, in public meeting assembled, white cheerfully recognising the claim of Lord l'almenron to the gratitude of the country, for the energy and ability dis played in bringing the war with Russia to a nuseeneful thee, awl while determined to supiort wily a liberal adminhanation, desire to place on record their conviction that no governtaent ought to retain the public confidence which does not stoohly paraet•ute a domestic policy embodying the desires of the people fur social end political prawn., and promptly and foully grapple with those admanistnitivo evils, the calamities of which the late war no painfully dincloo d." Gentlemen, Mr. Dillon has told you that the question we have to decide to-day is between Lord l'almernton and Lord Derby. In my opinion the question you have to decide to day is the question of progrees or no progrese • and in invit ing you, as I sin about to do, to the tumid:ration of that question, and having, as we all have, a sincere Attachment to the liberal principles of a Warn' government, I beg with all seriounness and earnestneme, and believing that this is a critical titer in the history of this country, to tell Lord Palnteneton that we don't main any longer to be bamboozled. (Cheers.) We hare a hOlllO policy as well as a foreign policy, and while grateful to Lord Palmerston, it would be triunity unjust as it would be un-English to deny the gratitude we owe him. Whilst grateful to him, I nay, fur the ability with which lie brought to a touclusion the Itue.lan war, I want to refer to moms pinto in that war which let down England in the eye' , of Europe; which prove how utterly oho official nystun of England broke down under us, end that too at a period when Lord Polloienton, If not prime minister, was in the govern ment, end remained in the government during that long, dreary period. I appeal to you on behalf of the broken hearts and desolate I.IOIIICA, the result of unprincipled conduct en the part of the goverruiteitt, who failed England in the hour of her eztnruity. Of the 30,000 eoldien who fell in the Crimea, 20,000 died of dinettes., the direct result of cold and starvation, and that at n time when lial•Jrlava was full both of clothing and of food, and when owing to the infamous incompetence of men who were seat out to, do our work there that tremendous amount of lone wens incurred. (Hear) I wish to remind you that corruption it as rampant in the government damned of thin country at the maul moment as ever it was, end I want you to tell Lord rattocraten, that if we are to support him, he must be faith ful to no. I will refer to the infamous conduct of thitsg” THE MINISTERIAL POLICY. - MEET LNG AT ASH TON-UNDER-Li-SE. In compliance with a numerously signed requisi lion, a rneehng of the electors and inhabitants of the Ashton ' under-Lyres division of the county was concerned by Mr. J. it.

Goeteide, W. Hallowell, C. F. Ilindley, lt. Isve, and F. A. Frost. (211AIIMAN having ehoply stated the object of the meeting, called upon Mr. H. Moooe, who moved the following resolution:— " Thst this meeting begs to capitate it, gratitude to her Ma jesty. ministers, who took the helm of public affairs et a eridell period, conducted a great war to a peaceful ternsiaa- Ike, and enacted the conditions of pewee veinal were dhi honourably attempted to be act aside.

That this meeting be lieves that the foreign policy of her Majc-ty's minis ters ban been eharneterised by honour, vigour, and sagacity, and deserves the confidence of the people of this country?' Mr. Mason read portions of the debates in both houses of parliament upon the recent events in China. He contended that those tutu who were sent out by this country to conduct its grain slimed should he allowed to exercise discretion: if their hands were to be tied no honourable men would be found to go shroud. Mr. Cobden had been most premature in his motion, which was merely made in order to get a yyoa rre lout r,:.'eu.nzerelo,zar, (7.7",,; him forhitinsoccieful ooudoet of the late war. (Chem..)

(Cheers.) Mr. A. AN MiEW seconded the amendment. He defended Mr. Coblen's motion, and warmly repelled the arvucation that 1111.0 who emporia , ' what he characterised e. , 1 the inters meddling spirit of Lord Palmerston were betraying the in terests of their country.

This terminated the peoceedinga. vernment towards Colonel Tulluch and Sir John 3PNeill, two men who are an honour to their country, and who ale in every sense noble—tiro men who went oat end frankly did thou duty, but, because they exposed the conduct of RIM like Lord Ciudigan and Lord Loom, have been snubbed and insulted by this government. I will refer you to this very morning's paper, in which you will find that Lord Psl nwrston List night woe compelled to agree to what I hope will kw' to substantial justice to those two noble men. Now, gentlemen, I entreat you to give such an utterance to your opinions as will have an influence on the cursing election. There are members of parliament very loud and very promi -11. at amongst the libend party that have Wird ua in the hour of need, and I want you to prevent such men from poising into the biome. Lord Palmerston has treated contemptuously every attempt by earned men to get anything substantial for the people. I will defy any one to pant to en incident in his antecedent career which justifies our reposing confidence in him. (Cries of "Oh, oh," and much confusion.) I mean as to any real substantial nicusure f.,r the benefit of the people. lam obliged to take this step hi:emote I believe that a foul cry ham been rained against cane M the most independent thinkers in the 'loiterer Common..

Mr. °Master seconded the amendment. Alderman Rost—Gentlemen, you have been aped upon to adopt a revolution, to which an amendment has been pro pelled. If the object and puree of that amendment be to express anything but that which I believe to be the deter mination of this meeting, namely, the active support of the electors of the city of London to Lad Palmereton and he government, I hope you will caprices your disapprobation of that amendment. ( Ch eers.) Ihe is • great statesman question, end I put it to you whether you ere prepared to surrender the power and the interests of the country to Lord Derby and to Mr. Daniell, sa men in whom you have confi dence and to whom you would entrust our groat important national affairs. It has been denied in some quarter t ha t this eoolition wee a pre-arranged matter. Now, I believe, from the very bottom of my heart, that this cabal had all been planned, arranged, end got up beforehand for the purpose of upsetting the government of Lord Palmeraton—(cheend the government which bed brought this great notion, with all her vastresoteces, which had brought the people of Eng land, who have always been foremost in the cause of civili sation, to ouch a ryas that wo were beginning to wonderwhat woo to be the neat phase in our history; when danger threatened na and our national welfare was at Make, Lord Palmeniton came to our rescue, and piloted the vessel of the mate into& port of safety. I hope you will all support Lord Palniemton, and that the country from one end to the other, will follow the noble exemple whirh I know you will the day set in the City of London. (Mach cheering.) Mr. EDWIN JAMEM Q.C. mid that en appeal was about to be made to the coun t ry fro m the derision of the Ileum of Commons, end the City of London, as the foremost conetitn cmry in our great empire, was called upon to record its feel ingens to whether Lord Palmerston hail the confidence of the country or not. (Chrere.) It was nature' that in the roarer of such • discussion tepice would have been introdueed somewhat diversified and enniewhat at large from tho imme diate qneetion at Moue. Ito ventured to eildmee a few re mark. to the meeting in support of the origins) mediation moved by his friend Mr. Currie. (Chem.) The amend nwnt which had born moved by his friend Mr. Morley we. one from which nobody could detest, beacaum it affirmed an abstract proposition of the principle of which he (Mr. James) was • moot ardent suptorter, bereme in the slimmer nobody could dray that the principle of adminetrative end social reform, ea advocated by the body of which he was proud to see Mr. Morley roe energetic and persevering a mem ber, was the true ono. Mr. James concluded him obeerrationm by calling upon the meeting to give their hearty concurrence to the original motion. The LORD Maven then put the resolution and the amend ment to the meeting, when the resolution woo carried by a majority, but by no corona a large one, the chow of hinds for Mr. S. 'Morley'e amendment tieing very numerous. Mr. R. W. CRAWFORD prOpOted is revolution to the effect that a committee should be appointed to draw up an Addax& embodying the spirit of the foregoing resolution, and that the Lord Mayor should be authorised to tibial it on behalf of the meeting, and present it to Lod Palmersein. Mr. J. C. LAWRINCE oeeondod the proposition, which was carried unanimously. Mr J. DVEF proposed, and Mr. H. WAITIIMAN secoedert, a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, for his loniship'e reaili seta in calling the meeting, and for hie lability in presiding over it. HON. R. LOWE AND SIR JOHN TOTTER FOR MANCHESTER. A meeting was held at the Corn Exchange, Man chegter, ventenlay morning, to get up a requieition to the Hight lion. Itobert Lose, "ice-President of the Board of Trade, and Sir John l'otter, to allow themaelree to be put in nomination for the representation of the city inparliament. There were upward. of 1,000 persona, of the more respectable chins of electors, present, and though there were not many itiduential men on the platform, the following Itainvil will be at 1111,0 refileibed SS coming within Holt des.sktion : Aldermen I% aid, Mr. Oliver Heywood, Mr. J.

Of course they were prepared to expect differences of opinion, and he was not going to discuss the conduct of their present representative.; but at the last election he voted for Mr. Gitstion and Mr. Bright bemuse under the peculiar dream- stances of the country, with Lord Derby in power, he eon d that free trade was in danger. ale nmeeived that the exertions of Mr. Bright in that cause celled for the grati tude nod support of his fellow citizens, and he hoped he was not forgetful of the claims of politic men wider ouch' circumstances. All things being equal he would hare thought Mr. Bright end Mr. Gibson entitled to his e.upyurt on the present occasion, hut since the last election eircura etenees had very materially changed. (Hear, hear.) lie di.' not conceive that a taunter of parliament was always to act in a neumer to please hie tsmtitttents. It woe folly to expect anything of the kind. Nor del he say hi: irele peudenee should be tratemelhal ; but it was for the elector. to say whether he Ir., under the circumstances, tin men to represent their opinions.

(Continued from yesterday'• Erpresg). Mr. BATIKS Cu as I E., in invpoging the first reaeluticm, meld —Fellow Mimes, often as you have met together in this your min hall, I believe that vou have midi= assembled on an nenesion in which the beef interests of the country were more bound up than upon the present; for as I take it, you are met here to-clay nut to glorify any man, or any minister, how ever able or however sue emful he may be, but I apprehend that the greet question which is proposal to the sound under standing and the practical minium seem of my fellow citizens Is this if you have a government that has redeemed the die wens of the war, If von have • government that hits cone pined under great thincultiew a nutisfactory penee—(No, no) —if you have al government under which, whatever its merits or its demerits may be, the toiletry I 4 now flourishing —(No, no, and much confusion)—perhaps, my good friend. you will hoer rue finish my writetice before you Inter rape me—that sentiment gives great oftener, to some of my friend@ of the working chimes who are near me—(hear bear)—this is • little epiaode in my speech which you will, I an cure, pardon ; I ate aceuettimed to address large mares of the working men of this country ; I ehoull we stand lime to-day were it not fur the exertions of the working men of this country.

(No, no.) Let me tell youone amebic relating to what peened in my two homes lasi night. I WWI talking with a poson whom I have known fr some years, and who wan a journeyman printer. He Ma grown from that to being a master printer. Ile canto to my host. to print privately some eddressees fur me. I want him what had be come of a family of, I must .11 them, pauper children— for they were lett entirely destitute—whom I had known as children moray years agiewhom he had taken,sa working men often do, having barely enough to keep their own family.

This is an entire dime. s ta n f rom rho roil subject before us, but I think It will terve to phew you that I am not initineilde to your denesed, oil your position, and you then will hear whom. what I have to my. (Cheers.) The experseinn gave offence, and therefore I will soy, with some large and most painful ex ception., that the general trade of the country, theeenimeree of the country, is thriviug ; the government has propos ed large [Auctions of expenditure, ("No, no," Yee, yes. ') 'they have reduerl and taken off the war ninepame on the income tax, and now the practical question which I put to the common emote of Englishmen is, will you die turb every thing ? Will jou upset the existing gevernsuent ? (Grim of " No' and „ 1 es.") Will you upset the existing government, however sumer you may dam mime. of it, wheu the gibed RIM in thiu Mitt areembly and the wisest men in Vogl mil cannot point out to you any practical combination of statesmen who could combine together with credit to iliceiselves, and carry untie government at home? (Cheers and confusion.) Now, geutlemen that I take to be tiro true rm.-heal gender's, and to that I ask you to ripply that wiled, preetial gossd mew which more than anything else distin guishes the pro pte of this country. (Cheers.) We all know, in spite of • few gentlemen who are standing immediately before me, and who are endeavouring to prevent this meeting from hearing my voice, that the sense of flue country has already given its verdict upon the conduct of the ministers. (Cheers and cenfueion.) What tangible prophecy or pretitable recollection mum'ns in the need of any one who hens me of any splendid oration —(for they wore meal eltinent and mom oplentlel)—which we heard on the Home of Commons—what, 1 tub, hat be come of them? 'they have all "weskit into infinite ewe, and the prettied sense of the people remains behind. (Chem.) One wol more, gentlemen, upon the peculiar queatien of the day. If the greet and god old duke had been alive—l teem the Duke of Wellington—we should never have heard of thin gustation ; end lie embodied in his own mind the common sense of Englishmen.

(Loud cheek) That is a nentiment to which you will all re spond. Well, I say that that is the " head and front " of the offending of the government. I say that they are no more rempousilde fur the unfortunate occurrence inChinathan you or I am. (Cheers.) Wo have heard a great deal of abuse of Sir John Doering. (11i...) Gentlemen, I never was honoured by Sir John flooring's friendship, but I knew bim sp an acquaintance for limey years I erat knew hits SP a dietinguielted member of the fear Society. I believe moat sincerely that • more humane, forbearing MA never lived, and I think you—the peeple—have something to do with this question. (Cries of " All.")

Sir John Bowling wan a man of the people. He sprang from the people. He was sent to parliament by working men. He advocated his groat flimsier Bentham 's principle—the grement happiness to the greatest munbee, and so far as I know, he ailVocated humidly, consistently, and with tuueh ability. (lime hear.) Wlll you really, as Engliehmen who love fair play, tarn mund on the first pos sible ocausinti, and amb such a man as you would crush an adder? I do not think you will. I du not think it belong" to you. Now, do you wick to throw the gOVellallela OViT board in order that you may dive into the dark waters, with the chance of Making up another? (Cries of "No, no," "Yep yes," and touch confusion) What government would you have? Would you have Lord Derby? (No, no) Now, I shall speak from them hustings to-day with an endeavour to avoid ell party petite-A. You shall hear on the partiednr teennon no party speck from me. Why, Lord Derby himself has told you that ho cannot make • government, that he cannot take the government. Ile told you that without Lord Palmeraton and Lord Clarendon he could not tithe the government; and then do you ountempftte a coalition? Do you with that Mr. Gladstone ' and Mr. Sidney Herbert, and that abet but very talented body of men commonly called the teethes—du you wish them to eettlaßee with my Loril Derby and tune a ce.vernment ? (Cries of '• No, no, " and much emsfiution.) I with to put the question fairly lichee you in an honest, impartial manner of the mate of parties in the house. I have great regard for the spread of eound opinions, but I have Mill greater regard for the eafety of fey own lungs, and theme ire in your present detpositien I shill not tree*aa upon your enmities any longer. It is your pls . ruse not to hear we, I con roe. (Cries of " Go on, go on, sad math confusion and excitement.) Will you, as rational, thinking men, consider a question which I will put beim you . bristly and plainly as passible? (There was hers a erne of great contusion. At length, the Lord Mayor advanced to the front of the heating's, and begged that every loiter wigbt be fairly listened 10, upon which), Mr. CURRIE amid—My opinione have been very imper fectly expreteed. I should have load much pleasure in meting them at somewhat greater length, but coneideriug the excited state of the hall, I think it better to conclude by s e wing the following resolution:—" Devolved —That Lord Pithwerston having undertaken the miverruuent of this coun try under cireuruntentei of extreme difficulty, and in the ere. of a gnat war, which he eneeeetfidly carried to the Weuc of an honourable pence, in entitled to the thanks of the country ; end having, by an adverse vote of the Hogs of Commis., been, in fact, cowered for his policy in reference to the priseedings at Canton, this meeting fee ls called upon to express its conviction that, from the ',Donlon of again in China and the pate poroveedings there, no other roarer was fairly open to a BMWs 'antennas, or wan compa tible with safety to the property and lives of our fellow coun trymen in that quarter, and with tho honour and dignity of the nation." (Loud cheering.) Mr. J. Davie—My Loki Mayor and gentlemen, the race-waken and the o.e-hunters have united to plies the country and the government is a lineation of great difficulty. Of the peace-makers I choose to say nothing. I believe them to be honourable, honest, but somewhat erotehetty, well-meaning men; and vie know that well-meaning Men sometimes produce a world of 'Mischief. But a few words as to the placethuntram let us speak of those who support them, and whiter object it is to turn out the present administnition. What is the question? It In not Sir John Bowring, but Lord Palnienton; it is not the Commissioner Yoh, the Chi nese Commissioner; it is Lord Derby. That is the question. Remember the question of China, therefore, has now premed arid gene. (No nn.) It has become a question of admit.- tration—whothr you wilt have Lord Palmerston remaining in power or whether he shall be supplented by Lord Derby. (Cheers and "No, no.") Thin Is a teatem which has horned now for more than 20 yearn. Itemeuther that Lord l'ahner ston did not found that eystem—did not cause that system; remember that Lord nett% ,v if ho were established in plac to-marrow, must support the same system; remember that If Lonl Derby had been in power, and had been aided by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Dierecli—the Siamese twins of taxation— remember that they must have done exactly the same. We may all lament war, and I lament it as much as any one,. but I say that there is not a British statesmen, with brains in his heed or a heart in his left side, who must not have supported our wimanta in China. (Chem.) Much has been said - about the evils of the China system. regret them. Much has been said about the smuggling of opium into China and the tribute of silver. I ask you one question. When Lord Derby Irma in power, did he alter that system! ("No, no.") If he were in power to-morrow, would he alter It? (" No, no.") They tat of the Chinese tribute. Would Mr. Gl adstone, if he were in power to nierruw, return the direr to the Chinese? He would not. It is then the trick of a prey to get into place—the dishonest trick of a ;arty, and you ought to resist it to a ram These men are oat, aid they went to be is. They are like sway league., ho thought, might liars retired spat their honours, and not have obtruded thentnelves upon every question. They and every man hal A right to express opinions, but 4c thought they bad obtruded too much, and he thought then policy in every measure they had touched, Laving for its objeet the honour of the nation, had beencon' prejudicial. ("No no," "Tess" and cheers.)
