POLISH MISTING. Yesterday being the eighth anniversary of the death of Lord Dudley Coutte Stuart, a meeting of the Polish Historical Society was held at Sumer-chambers, Luke-street, St. Janice's, to commemorate this logs, now classed among the national events in that country. In the absence from London of the president, Colonel Szyrme, the chair was occupied by the vice-president, Major Sztnetriveigi, who, after having paid a tribute of grati tude to the memory of the deceased for the services rendered by him to Poland, reviewed the most important events which have lately occurred in that country, contrasting the moral and dignified attitude of the people with the violent and insensate policy pursued by the Russian govern ment, a policy calculated to exasperate the Pole*, and drive then, to commit act% hitherto alien to their feel ings and their past history. Whilst deploring the attempts at assassination made on the persons of the Grand Duke Constantine and the Marquis Waelopolaki, which he attri buted to despair produced by witnessing the constant and atrocious acts of violence perpetrated by the Russian government, the chairman strongly reprobated the conduct of those who had, in cold blood, approved of these lamentable acts of madness. No greater delusion could have been practised upon the British public, than to assert that the Poles, as a body, desire or believe that the cause of their country cau he promoted by such means. In proof of this the speaker mentioned the recent melancholy circumstances under which Count Andrew Zamoyski, the acknowledged leader of the moderate and the larger portion of the nation, had been ordered to quit the country for representing the wants and wishes of the Poles, who, so far from having recourse to any violent measures, insist on obtaining their rights by hoomirable and legal ways. He hoped by this declaration to remove the usfavounible •on which might have been produced on the public here by the statement be had alluded to, and to wash off thestigma which might have attached to the Polish name—a declaration due no less to the Pole, themselves then to the people of these hospitable shores, whose sym pathy, aa that of their departed friend, they shall never cease to cherish gratefully. Major Gieigod , Captain Szumlanaki, and Captain Reenter, also spoke to the rune effect, and the meeting separated alter • vote of thanks to the chairman. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1862. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (nous's msatuta.) ITALY. TURIN, Nov. 17. Parliament will meet bare to-morrow for the emeion. There will be no speech from the throne. Almost all the deputies have already arrived. The King hoe forwarded a large sum of money front his private purse to the towns of theßomagna for the benefit of the aufferen from the recent inun dation. The Official Gazette of to-day decrees the abolition of the state of siege in the Neapolitan provinces and Sicily. The prefects of Naples and Palermo retain the power of making some exceptions. The board of directors of the Neapolitan railways has been elected. Messrs. Charles Waring and Howard Kennard have arrived here upon business connected with these and the Sicilian railways. ORF.ECE. OARFU, Nov. 15. The principal inhabitants of Syra and the Pirs3tis have given a banquet to the officers of the English fleet. The health of Prince Alfred was proposed by the Greeks. The tout of "The Independence of Greece" was drunk by the English. The English vessels hoisted the Greek flag, and saluted it with 21 guns. AMERICA. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BOSTON, Nov. 3. Whichever party is beaten in the elections the war must still go on. Suppose the opposition party succeed in getting into power, what then Mr. Lincoln has two years more—the new Congress will not meet till a year from next December. Cabinets are not made or unmade in this country by the popular breath. Though both branches have a majority against the admini -1 stration, ministers do not resign the seals of office. It is also a curious fact, that for a succession of presidential terms the Congress chosen for the lad two years has had a majority against the party who elected the President. And should the election to morrow follow in the direction of former precedents, when the opposition began to act, it would as a whole sustain the President in his war policy. Again it may answer for the purpose of gaining the support of those who have grown up with an enduring attachment to the constitution to insist on the battle cry, " The Union as it was and the con stitution as it is ;" but this can never be. The old American Union is a thing of the put. The nation can only be saved, if at all, by the reconstruction of the Union on the basis of freedom ; but this is not universally believed. The party of the past in all countries cling to their traditional ideas with unyielding tenacity. So even now, men who have been willing to join hands with the South are yet looking forward to a compromise and reunion on the old basis. If the " conservative party" were in power to-day, and should go down ' on its knees and beseech " the misguided brethren" to come back on the pledge of new gua rantees to slavery, it would be of no avail. The men at the South who have this movement in hand know what they mean and what they are doing. If they had wished to remain in "the Union as it was and the constitution as it is," even with new supports for slavery, they might have done so. But they look beyond the present It was not the result of the last presidential canvass that they dreaded, so much as the report of the census and the inevitable progress of the Free States. Ten years hence the great West, with its in creased millions, will outstrip them in all the elements of material greatness and of political power. These will be wielded in behalf of free institution, and free labour. To return to the Union to-morrow, even with still stronger guarantees to slavery, would not wipe out this great fact of political economy. Mr. Jefferson Davis sees all this ; so do his colleagues. Their designs are as bold as they are intelligent and com prehensive, and should the people's party get into power, and send commissioners to Richmond, the first condition on which they would agree to treat would be an acknowledgment of the new Confe deracy. Should Mr. Seymour, with the declara tion that the Union must be preserved at all risks, and the glorious flag wave over an undivided country should this veteran " conservative " politician, with his tradition of love of the constitution and Union, knock at the door of the Confederate President, ho would reply, "All we ask is to be left clone. We are a sovereign nation and must be treated as such." This great conservative leader who now about% " the Union as it was and the constitution as it is," would be compelled to eat his own words or grapple with the real issues. It is for this mama that I say the logic of events will control and compel the action of those in power, whatever their political opinions. By failing to see the great underlying forces in American society a superficial observer is liable to reach wrong conclusions. Thus when this struggle began, and before the attack on Fort Sumter, Mr. Fernando Wood, then Mayor of New York, had the effrontery to recommend that the city should secede from the rest of the State, and there were those who argued from this that the great me tropolis would throw her influence into the arms of the secessionists. So now this same unprin cipled politician attempts to bully the chief magis trate, and threatens, if he does not change his policy, that, " ss George Washington was the first President so Abraham Lincoln will be the last." This is the rant of an unscrupulous bitter partisan, whose love of plunder and office far exceeds hie honesty or patriotism But all this is said for effect. It cannot materially influence this struggle. In great upheavals the filth is thrown on thesurfaoe, and such are the features of New York society, being as it were the great artery through which nearly a half million every year pass from the old to the new world, and which iu this flow of foreign immigration leaves a mass of ignorant men as permanent residents ; this furnishes just the material for the bold and unscrupulous partisan to work on. But such men as Fernando Wood are not of the class who will give shape and direction to the " conservative " party. By boldness and ap peals to the passions and prejudices, and the cun ning arts of the adroit politician, such as he may get local political power, but it is men like Horatio Seymour, Washington Hunt, and ex-Pre sident Fillmore, who will mould the policy and crystallise this new political organisation. Another feature of American politics must also be kept in mind, and that is the exaggerated stories which gain currency before an election. At this time this is increased by the peculiar state of society. Thus we are told not only of the meeting of governors to bully and browbeat the President into a favourite policy, but also of, intrigues and cabals for detaching the West from the Eastern States. If the process of disintegration really begins, it is not safe to s►y where it will end, but that any serious plan of this kind now really occupies man I do not believe. But the poiaibility of this makes the maintenance of the nation a necessity, and when the practical question comes of an entire union or a disunion into many fragments, the difficulties are so great, and the dangers so many, that men naturally fall back to their old traditional love of the Union ; and the necessities, as well sadeep and ingrained convictions, will strengthen the national sentiment. In revolutionary times a people may sometimes act under the influence of temporary excitement, and there may be brief fluctuations of policy, but the great march of events, as guided by those permanent forces which have their sources in cherished ideas, historical traditions, material in terests, and abiding features of character. Foreigners constantly wonder at the tenacity with which the North and South continue the struggle and the magnitude of the efforts and sacrifice; which each party makes. Were it a mere feud, " a miserable war,'it would be a cause of surprise, I but it is far deeper than this. It is a question of civilisation, and the destiny of free or slave institu tions—it is the strife for dominion—not simply of material ascendancy—but dominion of ideas, of a certain system of labour, of • peculiar cast of society, and the forma into which wealth shall run and political power be attained and exercised. The North and the South in many respect& are as un like as ancient Sparta and Athens ; and the question is, shall Richmond or Washington—that which L ath rePMAtte..7-etile 1 If the one oaniaot cooper the other, they must agree on a truce ; but this would only be postponing the struggle. Therefore European merchants and statesmen must be con tent to watch and wait. Parties at the North can not control events, but will be controlled by them. Entertaining these views of the American war, I do not lay that special stress on the results of ps.r ticular elections which is so common both in America and Europe. But to pass from these generalisations to particular events. The mercantile community is startled more than ever by the boldness and emcees of the Ala bama. After lighting up the ocean not far from the Azores with the blaze of captured ships, this daring rover has turned his steamer towards the American shore, and is now in the great ocean pathway across which passes the commerce of the Old and New World. The broad expanse of waters and the swiftness of his movements baffle pursuit, and his power of destruction is very extensive. Captain Semmes will live in the annals of maritime achievements, and his name will be placed by the side of Paul Jones and Captain Kidd. The news papers are loud in their complaints, and men who never touched a rope or were ever out of sight of land are ready with their advice to the government as to the ease with which "the pirate may be caught," and partisan politicians make it a charge against the government that these depredations are allowed. But with English skill and capital to build, arm, and equip steamers, and free access to the ocean from British ports, with only a little adroitness in I keeping to the letter of the law, thus using the resources of • power in friendly relations with their foe, it is not difficult to get under full head of steam 'on the broad ocean. Once there, the catching is not easy. A hundred vessels may be in pursuit, and yet she elude them all. It is one of those ex posures to which all maritime nations are subject, and these exploits of the rebel captain illustrate the disastrous consequences which would attend British commerce in case of a war with the United States. Private naval enterprise here has always outstripped the government ship-yards, and the daring American Bailors would repeat on • much larger scale the de predations on English commerce than those of Captain Semmes. The merchants of Liverpool, Bristol, and London would suffer far more than those now at Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. In one case Captain Semmes has destroyed the property of British subjects, and as he strikes with • ruthless hand, the power that has fed and nou rished the serpent may feel the sting. But the slaveholders are also using the St. George's ernes in another way ! It is asserted that slaves have been ' carried from Texas to Cuba and sold. Where are the spirits of Wilberforce and Sir Fowell Buxton What does the esteemed and honourable champion of human freedom, Lord Brougham, say to the British flag floating over the slave pen / What say the great mass of liberty-loving men in Great Britain as thus they see this modern revival of the slave trade in the Gulf of Mexico under their own sacred national emblem I When the United States at last has risen from its moral torpor, and con damns those engaged in this infamous traffic of human blood, how do Englishmen enjoy the pic ture of their own honoured flag waving in triumph over the manacled slave as he is carried from Galveston to Havanna!' ? These questions the Federal liberty-loving men who are now engaged in the great battle of humanity send across the ocean. MEETING OP GREEK IZSSIDENTS IP LIVERPOOL. The Greok residents in Liverpool held a meeting on Saturday evening, in the Churchwardens' Room, No. 4, Sandon-terrace. The meeting was addressed by several gen tlemen, and the following resolutions adopted :-1.

That this meeting feels the want in Greece of works tending to the material development of the civilised nations of Europe— viz., wade, railways, steam and telegraphic communicatioa, and promises its humble support to all government measures having for their ob ject the moral and material development of the country. 4. That the warmest thanks of this meeting are due to the free press of England for its expressions of sympathy, end ita generous su pp ort to the liberties, the progress, and the prosperity of the Greek nation. 5. That a committee of five gentlemen be appointed, who, guided by the above resolutions, will act in conjunction with, or independently of, the committees appointed in London, Manchester, or elsewhere, in everything having for its object the moral and material interest, of the nation. The committee was then elected as follows : Messrs. G. M. Papavanni, Am hroise Sechiari, P. Z. Rodocooachi, John Candli, G. A. Lydia. The following is the translation of the congratulatory address from the Greeks in Liverpool to the provisonal government : "To the President of the Provisional Government of Greece.—Sir,—We, the undersigned resident Greeks in this tows, have been informed with the greatest possible plea sure of the salutary political change of the 23rd October, and have listened with the greatest jo y to the contents of the proclamation and the decree of the provisional govern ment, by which is announced the universal, peaceable, sod bloodless revolution of the Greek citizens of all classes, in order to depose the fatal for the nation political system, the said proclamation and decree having been read to us while assembled in church by the Greek consul of this town. We hasten to congratulate the provisional government for the preservation of peace and order while such an important event was taking place, and having every confidence in the experience, wisdom, and patriotism of the members of the provisional government and the ministerial council, we feel auurt d that the same peace end order whicli have been so loudly applauded by ell Europe will continue to be preserved natal the happy day on which the monarch elect of the National Assembly will take the reins of the government for the good of the country. "Liverpool, Nov. 7, 1862." The following appointment has been made in the Royal Naval &eery°. To be Sub-Lieutenant :—John Bumpier Joyner. It is understood that an effort will be made to have the execution of any criminal who may be convicted in future at the Central Criminal Court to take place on Tues day instead of Monday, and thus avoid the desecration of the Sabbath that take. place under the present amnia. meat for the executions to take place on Mondays. As the law stood formerly, the execution of persona convicted of murder was compelled to tame place within *Wit-and-forty hours after conviction, and trials were always Axed to take place 01 the Friday of tie sessioe, so that iu the • mot o: a arivictiou a Sunday would intervene, and the culprit thus obteired twenty-fear horn additional respite. At p - ascent, however, no such reason esiste fee the sestetwe being carried out ao Mo )(lay, and if the day were to be altered to Tuesday, it is considered by all who. is the performance of their duty, are unhappily compelled to take a part in such a painful proceeding, that it would be • very bee•ficial change. thITATAL PALACIL 07111 Beituanci DAT.•-• MOYDAY.

"Dear Sir,—ln addition to my former note, allow me to suggest that such families might be picked out for relief in the manner proposed as are deserving and without any em lloyment, or the hope of finding empl o ym e nt. In every ocality there will be • large number of such families, and if they were struck off the list of claimant. on the general aid funds, the labours of the committee would be much lightened. ' If the committee could ascertain the particulars about 10.000 to 20,000 such families, and make as appeal to all England, the whole of them would be provided for in lees than a fortnight. " I think that by selecting only such families as are likely to remain without any kind of work throughout the winter, my plan of relief would, as far as it goes, work without harm.—Yours, respectfully, "F.

I am willing to undertake the maintenance of a family at2s. per bead per week, for the next 24 weeks, and to induce my colleagues, the other foreign consuls in Liver pool, to do the like. Would you, therefore, please to pro cure me the names and addresses of a dozen or two at de se-ring distressed families in the manufacturing districts, specifying the number of beads in such, to whom these weekly contributions might be forwarded direct. I will then endeavour to find au individual supporter for each of them.—Yours respectfully, "F. PRANGE. " William. Rathbone, jun., Fall.

It would be well it the families I intend to collect for were resident in one locality, and if theaggregats amount could be remitted for distribution to 1101:011 pens= of authority (a clergyman or magistrate) of that locality. - - - Lord I)eaar suggested that such applications could be beat dealt with by the chairmen of the different local relief committees. Yr. FAIIIIIALL added that it would be very desirable that such special aid should he condoed to the large towns, as they would be better dealt with thus than the smaller legalities. The Hon. Siscezrastr suggested that the clerks and ware. housemen out of employ were among the most deserving objects of such aid. A letter from the Hon. Secretary of the Birmingham Relief Fund, which has been printed and circulated during the preceding week, and which ooeteined many very valu able suggestions, was referred to the office committee, who were requested to present to the Central Executive Committee next week a general report. Other parts of the suggestions gave emphatic approbation to the plans now in noun of development by the executive committee.

Mr. FA/MALL said he intended to investigate this subject and report the results to the committee. But few towns np to Michaelmas had availed themselves of the But. in Aid Act, but at Christmas he was satisfied that the provisions of that act would tome into valuable operation. Some persons bad spoken of this act as inoperative. The Stockport Board of Guardians, for instanoe, memorialised the government and the Poor-law Board in favour of a government grant as the only means of aiding the population. Bat, to his know ledge, only one town in the Stockport Union took advantage of the Rate in Aid Act at Michaelmas, ►nd that the town of Stockport threw about 440(. in the common fund of the Union, being the mom of 9d. in the pound on its net rateable value. — The following grants were then made :—Bamburpbridge, 1001.

FATAL REAIILT 07 A PRACTICAL JORR.-011 Sa turday an inquest was held at Oldham, touching the death of James Davenport. cottonspinner, C;own• street, Oldham.
