LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 23. HORSIUN'S remark that Poland had been diplematized to death" was but the terse expres sion of • simple fact. To say that Poland had com mitted suicide before diplomacy sat on her body, is as poor a defence of that craft as it would be of medical skill to say that a patient had been cut to pieces by the surgeons before the doctors were called in to administer ineffectual pills ; or of 'the police, that it was not responsible for a crime it did nothing to prevent or to punish. It is no abso lution of the diplomacy of 1815 to insist that it failed in its duty in 1772 ; or of diplomacy in 1831 that it failed in its duty in 1815 ; or of diplomacy in 1863 that it failed in its duty in 1831 and in 1846. The charge against diplomacy in this case is, that it began by leaving Poland to its fate, and then delivered it over to the tor mentors under its band and seal, and gave a legal title to posassions acquired by violence and fraud. What purpose can it serve to point out that at the time of the first partition Poland was • prey to feu dal anarchy I Enough to know that at this present hour all the elements of a Polish nation exist, and all the conditions of a Polish Government. It might be more serviceable to remember that Poland was engaged in adapting her ancient institutions to the progress of the times when • Russian force overawed her Diet, broke up her Government, and seized ber soil. But what has diplomacy done for Poland since her first partition f Not content with the repeated ignominious desertion of the cause of right and justice, it has again and again condoned the violence, sanctioned the sPoliation, and ratified the wrong. Not without protests, not without remonstrances, and all the ineffectual apparatus of waste-paper propositions ; but all to no other end than tie demonstration of the superiority of unscrupulous force to the finest despatches that ever Foreign Secretary or Minister Plenipotentiary penned. And in these diplomatic tournaments, in all this rustling of pens and spilling of ink, it is the semi-savage Power—supple as the East and reso lute as the North—that has invariably beaten civilization at its own weapons. Diplomacy, it is true, has become of late less an art of concealing thoughts in words, and more an appeal in solemn hum to public opinion ; and the change is far from favourable to Powers which represent no public opinion, but only dynastic pride and national passion. When, for instance, the Vice-Chanwillor of the Russian Empire describes the revolution in Poland as the work of cosmopolite incendiary agi tators, when be insists on the necessity of re establishing " order" as the indispensable condition of an amnesty, liberal Europe is even more scornful than indignant. But when Prince GORTCHAKOI7 coolly reverts to the precedents of 1815 and 1846, and proposes the preliminary settlement of the Polish question by • conference of the three par titionera, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, to be sub sequently confirmed by the Western Powers and the other signatories to the Treaty of Vienna, people in France and England ask how any set tlement other than the extirpation of the Polish race can be present to the mind of a statesman who imagines proposals so insulting or so in sane. No one, however, is disposed to suspect Prince GORTCHA ion , of intellectual aberration, and the conclusion we come to is that the only con ceivable purpose and signification of such proposals as these must be to gain time for General Mou saviErr's massacres until winter lays a shroud upon the graveyard of • nation. In this sense Prince GORTCHAKOrr'S reply is perhaps a master piece. In the diplomacy of procrastination, in the art of parrying and putting off without absolutely repelling, Russia has always surpassed all rivals. But when has the diplomacy even of more civilized Powers saved the Right, or served humanity When has it ever averted war ? Is not its office, according to all experence, rather to conduct us by dilatory and imperceptible gradations from peace without repose or dignity to war without profit or compensation, and from war without • principle worth fighting for to barren and abot.ive peace? Tors STATIBTICAL AssnAm.—The Statistical Abstract just issued by the ■atistical department of the Board of Trade is cue of the most unfit! of the roc erarnent publications ; sod, believing as we do, that a better know ledge of its motivate will lead to a greater appreciation of its atility,we briefly call attention to the information itoootains. It may be as well to state tbat the object of the book is to present to parliament, at an early period after the open ing of the session, the chief statistics of the country in an abstract form for the year just passed, compared with simi lar returns for the fourteen preceding years. The volume hes been un►voidably delayed this year in coesequente of certain alterations and additions which have greatly added to its usefulness. The value of such • work has been felt by some of the government. abroad, and in Prussia, Aus tria, sad France similar works have been published in imita tion of the English abstract. The tables contained in it news to the following subjects—via, finance, public debt, import., exports, prices, transhipments, shipping, excise, lialOs Of oat, coinage, savings banks, Beak of goglaed, other bask* population. births, deaths, marriages, schools, pau pers, criminal offender■, emigrants, railways, and mines. We may add that notwithstanding the numerous acklitiona which have been made this year, the abstract may still be bought for the ®all sum of sixpence. To the statesman, the merchant, the student, sod the lecturer, this little book is invaluable; and with the object of assisting such person to End out what is to them in general only so touch waste paper from their ignorance of its existent* we have thus shortly drain alterative to the Statistical Abstract. Cu Coat OSBORNE, Jam 22. The Queen and royal family walked aid drove in the grounds this morning.

His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstone and Rev. Mr. Jolly, arrived at Monmouth from Rom, by beat, oo Monday afternoon, where a carriage was in waiting to convey the royal party to the noble ruins of Raglan Outle (the property of his 0111011 the Duke of Beaufort). After ► hurried visit his royal highness returned to the Beaufort Arms Hotel, in Monmouth, where diaper was awaiting him, and where he remained for the night. On Tuesday night his royal highness visited the ruins of the once noble Castle of Monmouth, and in which the famous King Henry V. was bore, as also the church of Si. Mary and the other public buildings. At eleven o'clock he left for linters Abbey and Chepstow, at which latter place he passed the night. His royal highness was received at Monmouth with great public rejoicings by the inhabitants. The hells of lit. Mary's seat forth their merry peals, the volunteers attended as • guard of honour, flags were eying from every window, and garlands erected in the streets leading from the hotel to the river. The visit of the Prinoe and Princess of Wales to Oetosse will extend to ton days. We (Scotsman) tinderstend that Prince Alfred, daring his residence in Edinburgh in the Issuing winter, besides his attendance at the university, is to be for • portion of each day under the tuition of Dr. Schmitz, rector of the High School, as the Prince of Wales was a few years ago. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary strived at Rumpenbeim on Tuesday evening. Their Serene Ilighneases Prince and Princes' Edward of Saxe-Weimar will entertain a distinguished circle at the Duke of Richmond's late residence, near Good wood, during the ensuing week, for the races.

LORD CLY DR. —C ILLIR Allir, JULY 22. —Field- Marshal Loed Orli his pared a very comfortable night, and it is considered by his medical attendants that a great improvement in his condition has taken place. MUSIC. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Le Nome di Figaro was performed last night with gnat success. This is an open which it is very die. cult to "mount," for few companies are strong enough to furnish the requisite number of first-rate performers; but this difficulty the payment company of Her Majesty's Theatre is well able to encounter. The two principal female cha racters, the Countess and &manna, are of equal importance. On this occssion Mae. Titiens was the Countess, while Su sanna was assigned to Ifdlle. Liebbardt, the prima donna from the Royal Opera of Berlin— &lady of whom we have had occa sion to speak as • concert singer during the sasses. In ad dition to what we have already said of her, we can now describe her es being not only a highly accomplished singer but an elegant ►nd agreeable actress. Of Titiens as the Comintern it is hardly necessary to say what everybody knows, that this character is one of her most delightful im personations, and that she sings the most lovely music that Mozart ever a rote with a beauty, expression, and purity of style which no one now on the stage is able to rival. There is another part not • female one, though it is one which demands a female per. farmer—the Page Cherubino. It was acted and sung by Melia Trebelli more charmingly than by any one whom we have ever seen in it. Then there was bantley for Count Almaviva, Gamier for Figaro, Boma for Bartholo, and BA UM for Basilic). With such a set of performers it may well be said that " here was • play well fitted ;" and certainly we never saw this most delightful musical comedy go of with greater spirit, or more to the satisfaction of the audience. THE DRAMATIC COLLEGE PETE AT THE CITSTAL PALACE. We feel more than ordinary pleasure in drawing actuation to the annual Me which will be held at the Crystal Palace next Saturday and Monday, in aid of the funds of the Royal Dramatic College. Since we were last called upon to write a paragraph on this subject the ,311ege ha been successfully opened, and a number of male and female members of the dramatic profession have found a• home under its charitable roof. The indefatigable managers of the charity—at the bead of whom stand Mr. Benjamin Webste r and his excellent secretary, Mr. J. W. Anson—have, there fore, something more to show this year, u the malt of their exertions, than even the well-arranged and pic turesque building which is rapidly being completed at Woking. The attendance at the Crystal Palace on the days of these animal fetes has always been great, and on this °cession we trust it will be greater than ever. The programme is so full and so varied that no seeker after amusement—to say nothing about a desire to help the promoters of a sound charitable objeet—could well do better than visit Sydenbam seat Saturday aed Monday. The fancy fair, as usual, will be conducted by a number of popular actresses, who are willing to work hard for the benefit of their poorer bretbreo. Mr. Toole, as usual, will labour in half • dozen eccentric capacities to amuse the visitors and sairich the charity ; Mr. Paul Bedford will mooed him, like • father. The Bartlemy Fair drama will be more than usually " morational" and effective, and the "parade" is front of Richerdaon's show will be supported by a host of the best pantomimist' in the profession. Mr. Robert Keeley has consented to leave his retirement and act as toonaptaker. The gipey tent, tha serenader", aod other well-known attractions of the fair, will occupy their ac customed places, while • novelty will be shows in the shape of a burlesque WombeelFeMensgerie, with Mr. Joseph Roble" to play the part of Vaa Atoburgh. A sp ec i a l P unc h an d J u d y show, a family of performing dogs, monkeys, mice, and birds; a comic Polytechnic lestitution, with lactates, wntien by the best comic writers of the day, and de. livered every quarter of an hoar by Mr. Toole—are to be add e d t o the unequalled natural and artistic attractions which the Or7sial Palace sea always boast of at this or any mean. Every can will be taken to make the railway tits as perfect as possible and as the admission f i e r :s a l e rf!a.crown for Saturday, wed a shilling for Monday, with a hall-price for children) have not been mind, the Me will amorally produce a substantial sum for the col /age sad its inmates. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2*, LATEST ' INTILLIGENCE. THE RUSSIAN REPLt-L-THE WAR FEELING, The Paris journals refer °Pally to war as the probable result of the Russian reply to France. The Sieeie is persuaded that every Frenchman who reads the incredible response of Russia will feel himself deeply wounded. "It is not a diplo matic reply, it is &defiance." In the Dibats M. St. Marc Girardin says that he would not recoil from war if that solution becomes necessary. " be cause," be says, " we believe that this war, like those we made in the Crimea and in Italy, would be short and promptly decisive, and that it would have, moreover, a distinctive character—it would be essentially disinterested. The war of the Crimea was altogether a political war ; it gave us nothing, but this did not prevent it from restoring to France the ascendant part in Europe which she ought I to have, to maintain the European equilibrium. We will even say that without the war in the Crimea, and the moral authority which it gave us, the Italian war—a war useful in its principle— would have been impossible. In the same way the war of Poland cannot take place and cannot succeed unless Europe is well convinced of our disinteres tedness—that we expect nothing, that we wish for nothing, but the glory of having made an expe dition which may perhaps%) the laughing-stock of the shrewd, but which, having been undertaken, will not the less be the grandest and moat decisive act of the 19th century." The Temps says :—" Not only does any agree ment appear impossible, but the continuance of a diplomatic controversy would seem ; after such manifestations, scarcely worthy of the powers in general, and of France in particular. But here we cannot help observing, on the one band, that &simple rupture of diplomatic relations would signify nothing ; and on the other, that there would be some thing illogical in a recourse by the powers to extreme measures to impose on Russia, (in the interest of Poland, conditions which the Polish national sen timent declares to be insufficient. Thus, as we have already said many times, the question has been badly put ; if we wish it to advance, we must present it in another shape." In Austria, the Prase and the ast-Deutsche Post appear less disturbed by Prince Gortchakoff's despatches than by the armaments which are going on in Russia. The extraordinary levy in that country is viewed as a provocation. The Presse l of Vienna thinks that Austria cannot do better than reply to this menacing demonstration by a sinffiar one. With regard to the objections of those who maintain that the financial system of Austria prevents it from acting with energy, it says :—" Of what use is an army which coats 123 millions a year if we recoil from the necessity of using it when it is required to make our position as a great power respected 1 Let us send home half this army, and free the people from a grievous burden, or act with energy and put an end to this uncertainty, which keeps on foot a ruinous effective of 400,000 useless men." At Berlin official circles refuse to believe in the gravity of the present situation ; and it is repre sented that the ominous language of the Russian government is adopted only to give an apparent satisfaction to the excited feeling of the Russian people, and that under these refusals ulterior con cessions are concealed. Italy seems disturbed by the prospect of an allianoe between France and Austria, and cannot distinctly see what she would gain in any war of which an Austro-French alliance might be the pivot. The Belgian journals also view the proepect of a war with great distrust, not feeling sure as to the proportions it might assume. An aide-de-camp of the King of Sweden, who has lately been sent on a private mission to the Emperor Napoleon at Vichy, has just left for Stock. holm, the bearer, it is said, of an autograph letter from his Majesty. (artrmea mummy& THE RUSSIAN REPLY TO AUSTRIA. VIENNA. JIILT 22. The reply of Prince Gortchakoff to Count Rech berg has been published to-day in the official Vienna Gazette, which acoompauies its publication with the following remarks : " Immediately after the receipt of this reply the Cabinet of the Emperor placed itself in com munication with the Cabinet& of London and Paris, and also addressed a note to the Austrian Ambas sadors at those Courts, declaringin conclusion, that the good nnd•rstanding between the three Courts formed a tie between them from which Austria will not separate herself, and that it will not negotiate separately with Russia, as demanded by the latter." VIENNA, JOLT 22, EYE= No. The reply of Russia, dated the 13th inst., for mally invites Austria to an exchange of ideas upon their common interests. The reply suggests that the matter in question only affects details of internal administration, and that the three powers concerned in the partition should consequently, as in 1815, deliberate at pre sent together. The reply makes no allusion to the proposal of an armistice. THE REPLIES TO THE WESTERN POWERS. ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 22. The Journal de'St. Petersbonrg of to-day publishes the replies of Russia to the notes of the three plwers upon the Polish question, despatched upon the 13th inst. PROPOSED STATE OF SIEGE IN POSEN. POSEN, JULY 23. _ _ The Posener Zeitung of the 22nd states that it considers the establishment of a state of siege necessary in the seven frontier districts of the Duchy of Poeen, and in the districts of Kuim, Thorn, Grandma, and Stramburg, in Prussia Proper. SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 22. The ministerial journals express sympathy for the Confederate states of America. The following advertisement appears in the columns of a Paris contemporary :—" A atudout of three years' standing at a German university wishes to marry after taking his degree. He is desirous of Boding a young lady wbo will &demos hint money to pay the sum neces sary to finish his university career. Thm bound to his fate she would, after two or three years, become his wife"! The Town Council of Berlin has. panned a re solution to make rapresentations before the ministry in favour of bolding an international exhibition in that city at an early opportunity. It is mid that the pro posal has met with a favourable reception in the commercial world. It is hoped that the ditto for holding the exhibition will not be later then 1866. If the proposal should be reelimd, &trope will see three internntional exhibitions in three sueomeive years—et Berlin in 1865, at Visas& in 1866, and at Paris in 1867. There are seven iron foundries in San Francisco employiss 400 men. The work of these foundries is vaned at 300,0001 a year, sad consists chiefly of mining machinery. Gold ore is cowshed wet, and diver ore dry. The latter does per tea not pay unless it yields forty dollars' worth of silver FROM PARIS. (mom WI OWN 001RISPONDIXL) PARIS, WZINWWDAT EVININO. No wonder that the government hesitabsd to publish the Russian reply in the Moniteur. It has now appeared (the example of publicity which was set in London yesterday being irresistible), and everybody is of opinion that the text is infinitely worse than the worst of the analyses which were circulated by anticipation. It constitutes the most mortifying diplomatic check that a great nation ever reoeived. It says not a word about accept , ing the six points "in principle," as we were told it had done, but, on the contrary, refuses them, except in so far as they may be ultimately held by the Czar to coincide with his well-known generous intentions. It refuses the armistice ;it refuses the conference. In proposing a conference of the three powers which shared in the partition of Poland it mocks at France and England, well knowing that in such a confer ence Prussia would vote with the Czar, and that Austria—even if she should be firm in her present attitude—would be over-ruled. The tone of the despatch is ironical and insolent, even more so than the one addressed to London. Far from con descending to defend Russia for her bad govern ment of Poland, Prince Clortchalcoff makes himself an accuser. France is a main promoter of the dis turbed state of Poland by the encouragement she gives to Polish refugees who inhabit Paris and have " social relations " there. He only consents to echo the French opinion that the Polish ques tion is a European one upon condition that the expression shall be understood to refer to the ;nterest of Europe to put down " the revolution" wherever it shows its head. He will not hear of any concessions until the insurgents shall have unconditionally submitted to the Czar's clemency. Everything tends to show that this answer of Prince Gortchakoff is well considered, and it seems to me puerile to suppose that any amount of diplomatic rhetoric will induce Russia to flinch from it in the least degeee. It is her ultimatum, and if the powers do not put up with it, which I for one think they will do, war is the only rational and manly answer. The France, which up to yesterday took infinite pains to represent the reply in favourable colours, and was no doubt deceived as to the contents by its Russian connexions, now cries peccati. It says : . . . Oar first duty is to tall the truth, although it is painful. We admit that we have suffered a disappointment. We had hoped to fled at St. Petersburg a more ooDeiliatoty spirit, more equitable dispositions, broader and more liberal views. We were mistaken. After this the France stammers out a hope that conciliation is not yet to be despaired of, and clings convulsively to the mot d'ordre that the question is a European one. The Nation says openly that France will not go to war unless England does ; and this is pr:- cisely the opinion I expressed a day or two ago. The Nation is against sending any ultimatum, although it is aware that, "while it is writing, other parties, less anxious perhaps than them selves for the future of the dynasty and the welfare of the country," are urging the government to frame an ultimatum. The Charioari, writing before the text of the despatch was known, says : Tiers iS now but one of two cosines to take. Either we must send Russia an ultimatum, or we mrst hold our tongues, let the curtain drop upon a diplom►tic farce in which we have not played the best part, sad digest our humiliation as best we may. The public is inclined to believe in an ultimatum, and this accounts fer the fall at the Bourse and the warlike rumours of the last two days ; we regret to say that we are among the incredulous who attach very little importance to three rumours. There has been a decided panic at the Bourse. Many people undoubtedly think the Russian des patch so insulting that France cannot possibly put up with it. Rents fell 60c. for cash and 68c. for account, closing at 67fr. 25c. and 67fr. 20c. Mobi lier suffered the severe fall of 62fr. 50c. It is understood that a resolution of the Bank of France to curtail its advances upon securities held by this company has affected its shares more than the rumours of war. None of the railway lines have fallen more than 101 r. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TRIIIIIIDAT, JOLT Ti, $ J.K. 1 16. ILI u. W. N. 1.1 Q. 1. Z. 8.

SYMPATHY WITH POLAND. A public meeting, for the purpose of expressing vmpapy Pois was held yesterday even i ng at St James s-hall, under the presidency of Sir jogs V. Snsxxxr, Bart., M.P. The large hall wan well filled in the balconies as well as upon the Boor, and amongst those who occupied seats on the_ platform were Lord Raynham, ILP., Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P. the Hoe. Mr. Wynn., moor Senloyewski. Count ZemOyski, Major Oulgood, Mr. N. F. Zaba, Sir H. Hoare, Port., the Rev. Dr. Worthington, tha Rey. Dr. Eaton (President of the Nadia= Univenity, F l:ll o .l Mr. L G. Adolphus, Hr. W. A. Francis (of New York Mr. Viva, Mr. T. A. Barr, and • deputation of mos. wa git n tenianan read the following letter from the Mar quis Townsliend :—" My dear Sir John,—l bad hoped $ be able to attend the meeting at St. James's-hall on Wednes day, the 221 d, in favour of the Poles ; but I am unfortu nately obliged to he in Norfolk that day on particular buil t/M. I trust that at the meeting in question, and at many others, the voice of the people will uomuivocally demon strate that the British nation is not indifferent to the wrongs and cruel treatment the Poles are suffering, and that in win of the expressed feelings of the government and the opposition on the late debate in the House of Lords, the spirit of the country will prove that In these enligh toned days ' humanity will prevail over barbarism' at what ever cost. No one wishes to go to war, and Frame and England hays only to say the word to prevent it , but not to imply that under no circumstances would a war be posiible." Having stated that Letters had also been received f •n. . Lord Ilcheeter, Mr. R. R. Sheridan, M.P., Sir H. Varney, Bait., M.P., and Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., giving reasons for sot being present, the Chairman prooeaded to explain that the object of the present meeting was to uprise as straggly as words could the feelings of Englishmen in favour of that greet, spirited, and unfortunate people, who were now at. tempted to be trampled upon by the Ronne Emperor. (Cheers.) There was no subject upon which Englishmen were more united than in their sympathy with the Poles in their misfortunes. The question of Poland had been for 100 year, surging to the surface, and had always been one of danger to the pease of Europe. Earl Russell had stated not long ago in • debate in the House of Lords that the spirit of the Polish people would never die, and that he hop: d it would the. (Cheers, sods voice—" Russell is • humbug.") Such an expression coming front the foreign minister justified than who were in irresponsible ',coition, in cordially and heartily expensing their sympathy with that ill-used people. In the _coursed the discussion which lately took place in the House of Com mons upon the question Lord Palmerston expressed himself in a lined to that did honour to his heart • but he ((Sir John Shelley wto say th at after listening attentively to that de he rose from it with feeling' of anything but satisfaction. The case was stated by Mr. Hammes with his usual ability and eloquence, but the ministers spoke upon it like men who were treading upon hot coals—they seemed afraid to say anything. (Cheers.) That might be diplo- macy, but meetings like this, in which an opportunity was given to the people to speak out upon the question, might and mast probably would strengthen the goverment in the coarse they appeared inclined to panne. He yielded to no man in his sympathy with the Poles, bat there was more this a question of the interest of Poland itself, it was • question in which the welfare sad peace of the whole of Europe was involved. (Cheers.) The way in which Poland bad Mee treats I was a great E crime. It trey true that England got no part of e spoil, bat she stood by and allowed spoliation to take plop, and he considered her conduct in that respect the greatest blot upon England's escutcheon. (Loud cheers.) The last generation perpetrated that crime, and it was for the pre watt generation to wash its hands of it. (Chews) It was the duty of this country to lose no time in telling Russia that whatever mitht have been the views of politicians and diplo matists when Poland was banded over to her, that that act took place under a treaty which Russia had not scrupled to trample upon, and that therefore Russia no longer bed any claim to Poland. (Cheers.) It was said . _ by Mr. Horsens& that diplomacy had been the ruin of Poland ; but tuioiden should now be told that, although it was their duty in every way to take care that the peace of Europe was maintained, and that the interests of this country were not forgotten, the boron. of the sentry was above all questions of pesos and war. (Great cheering.) Mr. HOI4OIIIII had complained of the ministers for having mode propositions to Roma, while almost in the same breath they told her that in the event of those propositions not being acceded to they meant nothing more than diplomacy, end he had found halt with Lord Palmerston for having under these eircom mimeos taken any step at ell. To thatattack the Pi Mae Monster replied that the government could not stead Mill, for there was such a strong opinion °smelled in the House of Com mons and in the country that they did not dare do nothing. He (Sir John Shelley) rejoiced to see large and enthusiastic meetings like this, for they would strengthen the opinion which the noble lord entertained as to the feeling of the country that something should be done to clear ourselves front the stigma under which England and the other parties to the partition must lie so long as Poland was trampled upon as she was now. Although timid men out of doors bad asked him how becould &t ouch*, time interfere in so critical ammeter by taking part in a public meeting, he saw no harm that could result from the expression of public opinion upon the qua tioe, and if be was asked " Will you go to war for Poland" —(cries of yes, and followed by loud cheering)—his answer would be " Every one must deprecate war ; war is a lest re • source ; it is • misfortune and a misery to all who are am toned in it, but there is something more miserable and more to be deprecated, whether by individuals or by nations, &ad that is dishonour." (Renewed cheering.) Tore if pro positions were made by this country to mother, and replies wan given which might be considered insulting even by the ministers., then it was the duty of the ministers to overlook the miseries which war entailed, and remember that it was their bounden duty not to allow England to give up one jot or one iota of that position which she had ever maintained amongst the families of Europe. Meetings of this kind would, be expected, be held through. out the country, and would show to the ministate that in the opinion of the English people it was their duty, looking to sR the circumstances of the case, to take ulterior measures with reference to this question, or would at any rate let them know that in such • course they would have the hearty support of the great mass of her Majesty's subjects. (Load cheers.) France and England together could dictate to the world, and be was happy to say that they had present a deputation of working men horn Paris to represent the views of their fellow-workmen upon this important question. Mr. E. Status moved the following resolution :—" That the devoted and selleacrificiog heroism of the Poles in all their previous struggles in defence either of their own rights or of the liberties of other nations, as well as in their pre sent struggle for the recovery of the freedom and iodepen deuce of their country, entitles them to the warm and active affection and support of every free people, whilst the atro cious conduct of the Russian in their past misrule and oppression of Polaud, and in the war they are sow wegiog for its renewed subjugation, is an insult to Christendom and an outrage against humanity." (Cheers.) Mr. G. ODDER (shoemaker), in seconding the resolution, contended that there could be no question as to the lain right of this country to give her support to Poland under the treaty of Vienna, the stipulations of which Russia had dope all in her power to render null and void. He repre sented the working men of London, and their opinion was that • power acting as Russia bad done towards tie Poles for feited all right to be treated with for hearten., and that by the conduct of Russia in violating her treaty engagements a long series of insults upon their country bad teen perpetrated. Mr. J. FitaliaLLY supported the resolution, and exposed the opinion that if it was worth fighting for • sick man," it was worth fighting for a great nationality. (Cheers.) The resolution was retried unanimously, and amidst en thusiastic cheering. Mr. W. CRUM (joiner) proposed the next moieties : "That this meeting deprecates all negotiation with Russia on the subject of Poland, except upon the basis of the im mediate omanion of the hostilities now raging, the with drawal of the Russian troops from every part of the Polish soil, and the establishment of • separate and independent Polish state, and is convinced that if an armed interventioo should become necessary (or effecting thew objects, the sacrifices which such intervention might entail upon the English people would be cheerfully borne by them." (Loud cheers.) The resolution was seconded by Sir H. HOAR; and una , nimously carried. Gvoeral ZAMOTSILI, who was received with cheers, meld he entertained great hope that that meeting would have • really beneficial effect upon the destiny of his country— there being now • certain ripeness of neon which had been wanting at the time of previous attempts to secure her in dependence. He never expected anything from negotiations but additional misery to the Puke and rebuff to the three powers persisting in it, but he had thought of this country going so far as be was glad to see the meeting sp. prove of—namely, war. (Cheers ) W hat the Poles had • right to demand from foreigners was, not that they should go to her assistanoe—that was • matter for their own flee will—but that they should not assist her enemies against her. (Cheery.) The boundaries of Poland were marked by the insurrection, and if the English government were simply to my ' that Ramis having for fifty years disregarded the cosiditioas under which she received the doinioiou of Poland, it was the duty of this country to withdraw her sanction to that dominion, net one single Russian soldier would be left in Polish territory by the end of the year. (Loud cheers.) H. Toucarn(ouvrier ciseleur ea bronze), who stated Olathe was me of the French workmen elected last year to visit and report upon the Exhibition, spoke of the unanimity of his fellow workmen in their sympathy with Poland, and warmly and eloquently appealed to the meeting to urge upon the Eoglieh government to take measures, in coo. juoction with France, for relieving the Poles from Russian tyranny. On the motion of Mr. P. TATLOII, seconded by Lord RAYNHIJI, the following resolution was DUD carried : " That a deputation be appointed to wait a Earl Russell, to ley Wore him the resolutions at this meeting, sod to urge upon hint the neocesity of armed interventioe, if necessary, on the part of Euglaod for the restoration of the independence of Poland, such deputation to cousin of the chairman and movers, seconders, and supporters of the ' resolutions, aud such other friends of Poland as may be desirous toiittend." . . . A cote of thanks to the chairman brought the proceedinp to a close. At the dose of the public meeting above re ported. • meeting of the Working Men's Committee, who assisted in getting up the demonstration was held, at which it wu resolved to invite the deputatioa, of French workmen to most their Sottish brstims this er►wio&, at thsßill Old Batley for an interchange of sentiment. and cuisines carrel and wad quadroon a ff ecting the working mei al countries. The invitation was cordially and the meeting will be open to all workmen do l or ou s. attending. The meeting is celled for 8 o'clock. THE LIBERAL REGISTRATION ASSOCIATION TO THE REFORMERS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. The following address has been issued by the Liberal Registration Ammoniating of the City of London : " Fellow-Citizens,—The 0011•11rVailiVe Registration den. I:dation endeavours to earth its supporters for the anon. posed return of Mr. Goeclum, by announcing that ' a gene. eel election is near at hand,' and that it will be prepare:l to submit to the electors of London the names of gentlemen of high commercial position, whose political opinions um oar stitutional and moderate.' That intimation has ben followed up by a banquet, in honour of Mr. Disraeli, at which the °pp. sition leader in the Home of Ominous miss the necessity of strenuous effort, to impress a tory character epos th e p e dk • mentary registers of the United Kingdom ; and at a gre e n feat at the Mansion-home, to which the heads of the con. servative party were bidden to meet their chief, the E u i of Derby tenured the citizens of London that the exertion of a little energy at the court of revision was all ru t was required to displace your present members as mum preeeetatives of the wealth, intelligence, and importanc e of the metropolis. " When tory statesmen call their party together to re . mind them that the battle of the constitution most be fought in the registration courts—to animate their fol. lowers to throw themselves zealously into the work of the coming revision of the electoral list—and to imply that if government did not voluntarily dissolve parliament, the, opposition would force a general election on the country, it is time for reformers to be up and doing. " The speech of Mr. Disraeli leaves no room for doubt that the day that saw his return to office would within the oeseatioo of those effort., both by legislation and dip. Lunacy, to extend the sphere of the operation of f ree trade and unrestricted navigation, which have enabled as to bear up against the shock of the oupensim of the supply of the chief staple of our manufacturin g industry. How long would continental Europe remain at peace atter faction had thrust Lord Derby upon the dangerous eminence of office ? Had the helm been for the last two yearn in the feeble lump of Lord Malmesbury, when would the vessel of the state have drifted in the critical soundings of the troubled waters of America' While civil convulsion and foreign invasion distrac the New World, and intestine disaffection of diplomatic complications threaten the trampillity of continental Europe, England, loyal and contented at home, respected abroad for her power and for the justice end wisdom of her use of it, prospers and progresses in her corn memo and her finances, amid difficulties which, under a la, capable government, must have seriously tried her reamers. tire resources. Does the present condition of the couatry afford any pretext for a change of mioistry ? " Large cowmen of taxable commodities bare cased to be taxpayers, and have named the position at once of eon. producers and of ratereosivers. What wise conservative even, in contemplation of our domestic prospects for the coining winter, could desire to transferesecutive power from liberal statesmen to tory politicians? The unnatural alliance struck between a section of the extreme liberals of Ireland and the party who discarded their leaders for consummating catholic emancipation—the determined resistanos of the opposition, on principle, tu even the most cautious reform of the abuses of the Irish church, and the most pa rsimonious admission of the spiritual cl;ims of the er - ish people —to the n•rioc of the formularies of the Church of England —to the emancipation of the spiritual teachers of the nation from the trammels of subscription—to the opening of the univer. adios to the genius, learning, and industry of every subject without distioctica of creed, and to the elimination at sectarian ingredients from the national system of education, are considerations which offer no advantage to the country from the recall of conservatism to office—and if Lord Paknentoo propmed a more liberal measure of organic change than parliament was prepared to accept—and to • re condie a proud aristocracy with a reformed House of Com. mons,' by initiating the principle of life peerages in the upper house—will the prospects of reform be improved by gtrioga parliamentary majority to those who offer lees thoi justice or policy demands ! •' The Tory Association of London, and the leading states men of the opposition, have sumrnooed you and us to the registration courts. For twenty years we have sustained a position at each annual revision which has extorted from the Earl of Derby the querulous complaint that we have loog commanded a monopoly of the representation ; but he bouts that he is ambled to dictate the public policy, and to obstruct the elactment of liberal measure.. you would do justice to uii;ister; and to your own principles, you must make them strong, and this is to be accomplished only by persevering in the course which has crowned our past labours with 110001111 L We respectfully invite, therefore, your zealous co-operation to promote the registration of all qualified reformers in your districts re spectively. Not an hour is to be lost. The lists are even new in course of preparation. For correcting errors, for taking precautions against the effect of objections, for molting claims, for detecting and objecting to tory disqualificatims, the season has arrived and is fast passing away. °tithe awl register the fate of parties may turn for the seven years of • new parliament. Our only danger lies in the over con& dance that may relax our exertions. The atria, have thrown down the gauntlet—do not let us hesitate for a moment to take it up.

EMIGRATION THOM THE UNITED KINGDOM. REPORT OF THE COMIIL34ION'ERS. This morning was issued a blue book of 216 pages, containing the 23rd general report of the Emigration The emigration from the United Kingdom, in 1862, amounted to 121,214 souls, of whom 58,706 or upwards of 48 per cent. went to the United States, 15,522 or a little more than 12 per cent. to British North Americo, 41,843 or nearly 34 per nest. to Australia and New Zealand, and 5,143 or more than 4 per cent to other places. The emi gration of 1862 exceeded the emigration of 1861 by up wards of 29,000 souls, and was larger than the average of the four previous years—but fell mach short of the emigre' tion of 1855, 1836, and 1857, and was less than two-fifths of the emigration of the sight years from 1847 to 1855. The greatest decrease, both in 1861 and 1862, was, as might be expected, in the emigration to the United State*. In 1861 this emigration bad kiln to 49,764, equal to 612: per cent. of the whole emigration of that year. Is 1862 it rose to 58,706, but its proportion to the whole emigre 800 was even less than in 1861, being only 4813 per not. ; in fact, its proportion to the whole emitintion was smaller in 1862 than in any year since 1841. In the 21 yean which have elapsed since 1841, the proportion of the emigration to the United States to the whole emigration his varied from 7918 per cent. to 4813, the average being 6193. The de crew in the but two years was of course the result of the civil war. The same moss increased the proportion of the emigration to British North America. Between 1849 and 1862 the proportion of that emigration to the whole emigre tics varied from 5'55 per cent. to 1859 to 13'85 per cent. is 1861. In 1862 it amounted to 12'80 per mat Neverthe less, the emigration to British North America, though pro- portionally large, was absolutely small. With the exception of the four preceding years (1858 to 1861 inclusive) it was the smallest since 1839. Of the whole number of mai. grants, 49,680 or 40'98 per cent. were Irish. This propor tion is larger than in 1861, and in some recent years, and indicates ao lucre's° of pressure upon the labouring class in Ireland. Whenever that is the case the ample remittances so nobly sent home to their friends in Inland by those who have preceded them, afford • ready meson of extending the emigration. The amount retuned as sent home in 1862 was 463,0241.. making in the 16 years for which there ars returns, a total of 12,642,0001. It is necessary to repeat that three returns are very imperfect, as they contain moos of the remittances through the poet or through private hands, or through any of the banks or mercantile bosses, which de cline to furnish us with information. It would scarcely be uoreasonable to estimate the amount of which there are no returns, at half as much again as that of which there're re turns. During the first four months of the year the emigra tion is for obvious reasons generally small. The numbers who emigrated in the months daring the five nen preceding the present year were-1858, 34.423; 1859, 33,767; 1860. 38,285. 1861, 34.749 ; 1862, 30,016. In 1863 they have amounted to 68,571. Of this emigration there proceeded to the United States 46,904, which, though numerically large, is not larger in proportion to the whole than the average of former years. But the proportion of Irish in the emigration was considerably larger then in previous years. Thus the proportion of Irish was in 1838, 5461 per cant ; 1858, 6317: 1860, 64'06 ; 1861, 6311 ; 1862, 58.95. In 1863 it was 70159 per cent. The properties of single toss to the whole emigration to the United Stews was in 1858, 37'20 ; 18.59, 38'57 ; 1860, 35/4 ; 1861, :12.85. 1862, 3264. la 1863 it was 36.16. The oconmissioners be lieve that the great increase in the Irish emigration of the present year is to be attributed rather to the distress caused in Ireland by an unfortunate succession of bed seasons, and to the high wages now prevailing is the limited States, than to any pre-couesived intention os the part of the emigrants to tabe service with either party is the civil war wow miss. It appears from a general abstract issued this morning, that the grants for civil services for the year 1863, as compared oath the greats for 1862.3, show a .04 degrease of 44,7471.
