" And yet, abova the queetion of ri;ht, abcve the qt ,„ei o s or p.hticil interest, both of which were of a stare to exe te early the attention of England, there b. as I hive said, anceh.r question being agitated at Rome of a very different kind of importance, and whisk ought to Irve around all those who believe in the vital principle of religions ref irmation—it is that al meaty of cosc.ence. The religious question which broods at the root of all pelitical questions showed , self au re great and visble in all its European imp( rt owe. The Pops at Gaeta was the theory of absolute infallible *nth( rity exiled from Rome for ever; and exiled ream Rome was to b.: exiled from the world. The al) litien of the temporal power evidently drew with in the minds of all these who underet iod the secret of the papal authotity, the emancipation of men's mines from the spiritual authority. The prin ciple of liberty and of free consent, elevated by the constituent assembly into a living active right, tended m olly to destroy the absolutist dogma which from Rome alms more than over to enchain the universe. Tho high aristocracy of the Roman catholic c l e rgy well know the impossibility of retain ing the soul in darkness, in the midst of light inundating the iutelligerets of men; fir this reason they carried off their Pope to Gaeta; foe this reason they now refuse all compromise. They know that any compromise would be fatal to them ; that they must re-enter as conquerors, or not at all. And iu the same way that the aristocracy of the clergy felt this inseparability of the two powers, the French government, in its present re-actionary march, has felt that the keystone of despotism is at Rome — that the ruin of the spiritual authority of the middle *gee was the ruin of its own projects—and that the only method of seourinr to it a few more years of existence was to rebuild for it a temporal domination. England has understood nothing of this. She has not understood what there was of sublime and prophetic in this cry of emancipaion, in this pre tasteti-n in favour of human liberty, issu"ng from the very heart of ancient Rome, in the face of the Vati can. She has not felt the the struggle in Rome was to cut the 0 mdian knot ef moral servitude, against which she has long and vainly opposed her biblical nocieti.s, her Christian and evangelical alliances ; and that there was being opened, had she but ex'ended a sisterly hand to the movement, a mighty pathway for the human mind.. She has not understood that one bold word, ' respect for the liberty of thought,' op poled to the hypocritical language of the French go vernment would have been sufficient to inaugurate the era of a new religions policy, and to conquer for herself a decisive ascendancy upon the continent. " Is England beginning to understand these things? You answer me, Yea. I doubt it. Political and re ligions indifference appears to me to have taken too deep root with you to be conquered by anything short of those internal crises which te.come more and more inevitable. Bat if it be tree that the unequal struggle which has been maintained for two mots in Rime has borne fruits—if it ba tree that you begin to understand all that there is of brut') in the league of four powers against the awakening of the eternal city—all that there is of grand and fruitful for humanity in this cry of country and liberty, rising from among the ruins of the capitol— all that there would be of noble, of generous, of profitable for England in responding to this cry, as to that of a sister towards whom a debt of gratitude is owed—you can still do us a great good. You may console—this you have always done— the exile of our combatants, whom the French government tears from their homes to cast them out, poor mistaken souls, who dreamed of the fraternity of France, in utter physical destitution, and in despair of mind! Yea can save for us these spirits, by preserving them from the attacks of doubt, o and of unmeasu voice of red re- I action. You can, by y press, by the your meeting., fix upon the forehead of the French republic the mark of Cain: upon the front of Rome the glory of a martyrdom which contains the premise of victory ; you caa give to Europe the consciousness that Italy is being born anew, and to Italy a re doubled faith in hereelL Yon may do more. The finds g is far hem being resolved. France finds herself placed between the neoseeity of giving way to a new insurrection, and that of pro- I longing indefinitely the occupation by her troops; thus cheling intervention into conquest. Assemble yourselves, associate youngest, organise a vast agita tion fir the political and religiousindependence of the peoples ; and say to your government, that honour, duty, and the future of England demand that her flag shall not hang idly in atheistic immobility, amidst the continued violation of the principle which it represents; that France has not the right to dispose of the Roman States as she pleases; that the will of the Roman people ought to be expensed, and that it cannot be freely expressed while four hostile armies are encamped upon its territories. Call upon Frame to fulfil her peasants. We could not admi the elected of the people--that they should b= span to expose a second time what they had already peacefully, completely, and in the most unfettered manner declared. We could not commit suicide upon ourselves in our most sacred right. Bat, since violence has annihilated the co 'lents of its ex. eras-, it is for you now to recall France to its en ga.temenis, and to say to her : "All that you are abut to do is null and illegal, if the will of the popu lations is not consulted." And if your government remains silent—if France pursues her career et violence—then it is for you, the people, to aid es you men of justice and liberty, in the struggle. With or without the aid of the peoples we will re-cononewse this struggle. We cannot, we will no', sacrifice our future and the destinies towards which we are culled by God, to the caprices of egotism and of blind force. Bat the assis'ance of the peoples may spare us many bloody sacrifices, much reactionary violence, that we, men of order and peace, have striven to avoid, but which, in the powerlessness of exile, we may not be able to prevent. • • • August 6, 1849. JOSEPH MAZZINL Istraisoinenne or • SIMI& Seance, Tao following representation ham been made by the President of tbe South American and Mexican Asso ciation to Viscount Palmerston, her Majesty's blinis ter of State for Foreign Affairs, concerning the im p-isonment of George Watd, Fog., at Canvas, by the government of Venezuela : To the Right Hsnourshle Visount Palmerston, 11. P., one of Her Majesty's Priaeipal Secretaries of State, &c., &c. 13, Austin-Mars, Aug. 23,1849. My Lord—The committee of the South American and Mexican Association are under the necessity of bringing before your lordship a sus of gives outrage committed ty the venerate, of Verserntle, in the arbitrary imprison went of a British subjoin in the city of Caracas. Mr. George Ward, a merchant of the highest respect abilith who hex been resident in Caracas and La Guyon for the last twenty-five years, has hem amsted and *howl into prison on • pretended charge of conspiracy against the glvernment of Venezuela. For this charge Mr. Ward dc clines there is not the remotest pretence of any kind ; that, t,n the contrary, during the political agitation which has is long prevailed in Venezuela, he has been specially careful to abstain from the slightest interference or meddling in political affairs. After being detained three days in pri son, without being allowed comnication with any one, Mr. Ward was Warned that th e u charges brought against him were as follows: F.retly, that the handwriting of a slip of paper, without tignyure, date, or address, containing something of a plan of a conspiracy spinet the government, having been cone par..d with the kandweiting of a letter written which b ha d been Ward found in the archives of the reverantest, y X. to the government, on official badmen, in the year 1838, was befitted to correspond therewith. Mr. Ward, ea the said him,of paper being prcdueed, denied that it was Written by or tt at his knew anything whatever of it. Secondly, he was charged with being acquainted with five peso:.., whet* names were mentioned, and who were said to be implicated in a conspi gainst the goverament ; in awe rto which Mr. Ward atet e d that, in regret to three Of th , ..se peruses he did not know them at ell, and in respect terc of them , he only knew them in a transaction in Du- Antis, •he psrticulare of which he detailed in answer to the • %.,tions put to him. tic these frivolous pretences Kr. Ward is detained in meats the city of Caracas, and he can neither obtain a es se to brinthe matter to kw, or a release from erect, althoug h he has applied to the gOvernatent a the acting British consul. He has declared that ha new sad detention are both illegal, but be is unable to ebt- 'ay ruir.m.

That use jails., having at the end of the first three days Wren Mr. Ward's deciaratiqn, hangs I.p the case. ea pre tence that it is in a s...tr i f " Gaetano" ti , ,formation). 3. That the eaecuti re tp.r rutnertt, on using a, p sled to, says that itcaanot interfere in judicial proceedings, although cue minister admits that by the constitution it is one of the special attributes of the government to " watch over end see that immediate and istartial justice be admininered ;" and he stadieusly avoids adverting to the fact that in this ease the 'oversews% is the accusing party ; abuses it follows that, unless some lettuces* be brought to beer on the Venezuelan government for Mr. Wart's relief, he may mains* confined in the prison of Caracas for any 1 atth of time that the judge may pleats, to the serious detriment of his health and his interests. The judge violates the law. The government not only remains a passive spectator of the violation, but is a direct perdeipator therein, inasmuch ea it 's the winning party in whose favour the violation is made. Thu inconsistent conduct of the government in the matter le shown in the fact stated in Mr. Ward's Third ltepre sentation to the acting Brit'sh Consul, that in several casts therein enumerated the executive government has inter• fered at the instance of the representatives of foreign powers to enforce the administration of justice as an acknow ledged part of its duty. The pretence, therefore, that it cannot interfere with the course of judicial proceedings is a mere evasion. The committee are We that they need not address one word to your lordship to induce her Majesty's government to take up this matter in such a manner as to show that British merchants residing in foreign countries, under the protection of a treaty, are not to be treated with insult, in jury, and moss. 1 cannot conclude this representation without adverting to one circumstance which, there is too much reason to be lieve, may have produced this hostile demonstration on the part of the government of Venezuela towards Mr. Ward. A law was passed in April last in Caracas, as your lordship is aware, called the " Ley de Byers," or " law of delay"—a law which strikes at the root of all security and morality in mercantile dealings Against this law a representation was made, through the aiding British consul in Caracas to the govewnnient, before the latter body had given to it its sanction. The signatures to that representation included those of all the British merchants in Carnets and La Ouayra. At the head of them stood the name of Mr. Ward ; and it is understood that the document was drawn up by him. It denounces in strong terms the iniquity of the law. It de aerfbes it as " one that placeri the debtor in a more enviable position than his creditor ; a state of things, which, If suffered to go into practice, will destroy all trade, all confi dence, ruin the :most wealthy and enterprising; and by enriching the reckless, the dissolute, and the dishonist member of the community, will introduce that degree of demoralization in the mesa which must Inevitably sap the foundations of society." And it added, that " such a scheme for legal robbery never had been equalled in any civilised society in the universe." Vie bold and uncompromising language, so justly called for by the circumstance of the ease—in which, however, Mr. Ward was joined not only by every British met ' chant, but by every other foreign merchant in the country— it is to be feared has brought on Lim the hostility of the Venezuelan goinnment, masking itself under the form of a judicial procdiding.-1 have the honour to be, my lord, your faithful servant.

The Polynesian contains the following information of the English surveys in the Pacific : Server of the Western Coast of America, Search for Sir John Franklin, &c. Her Britannic Majesty's ship Herald, Captain Kellett, C. 8., which sailed hence on the 19th inst., left England on the 26th of Jane, 1845, and touched at Rio Janeiro, the Falk. land Islands, Conception, Valparaiso, and Callao. Thence to New Granada, where she commenced her special object of 'arraying, in the bay of Chow. Surveyed river Buena venters, as high up as the town of the SIMI name. This is the best harbour on the west coast; but this, eves, has bet 12 to 18 feet of water. After completing the survey of this bay, proceeded to Nimes, thence to the Shaba of Jena de Flaw in latitude about 48. deg. north. Remained lathe strain three months, and ear beyed the south part of Vancouver's Island, and the north part of Oregon territory in the straits. From the Straits of Juan de Fuca the Herald returned south to San Fr xncisco, in California, surveng some islands on:the coast, and reached Mazatlan, in Mexico, in November, 1946. Thence down the Mexican coast to Pa nama, where she arrived in the middle of January, 1847. Speat three months in surveying the Pearl Islands, in Pa alma Bay, whence she rvasedeil to Callao to provision sad refit, and arrived in Jane. After refitting she proceeded to Guayaquil, and surveyed from Santa Clara Island up to the city of Guayaquil, a di n tante of about 40 miles. From this point she completed the sure, yof the Smith American coast as high up as Panama Bay, by February, 1848. Here the Herald received orders from England to pro ceed to to Kamchatka, to seek out a proper position for, sad to establish and provision her Britannia Majesty's ship Player, that she might be in reedinem to communicate with, and relieve the wants of Sir John F rankha in case he should succeed in finding his way through hem the east. After a very rough and tedious palates. during which she was towed some 600 miles by her Britannic Majesty's steam-frigate Samson, she arrived In 90 days at Pesialovskeie, in Asiatic Ramis. After recruiting, and readying Vi i •, civility aad attention from the Russians. she erased the Sea of Kanuelistka to Norton's Sound, in Russian Amides, to procure interpreters, and baiden (light seal-skin beats), the latter of which she felled to procure. This employed her till August, 1818. From Norton's Sound the Herald proceeded neethward, and in September anchored off the Island of Chaska, in Kotsebue's Sound, in about 67 deg. N. lat. Hem she re mained a month, cruising about and exploring the bay; but failed to hear anything of Sir J. Franklin and his expedi tion, or of the Pierer, with whom she expected to fall in, and to establish whom in winter quarters she was de spaTtched. he Meer left these islands, it will he recollected, on the 24th of Angus last, too late in the season, probably, to to reach her readeavows before the Herald left. She has not sines Mem beast keen at these islands. From Hatnebee's loud the Herald returned to Petro- Cltand after a short sta left aga ha p the 21st of e a b elee having again ex thetality and kind stlentions of the Russian offline* and others of that Plo Fro w m the atelb, at the approach of winter , the Herald again tumml her prow towards the south, and after survey ing the Mood of Guadeloupe, which is about 100 miles to the north of Mazatlan. arrived at the latter plane on the 21st of November. From Mazatlan she continued down the coast, at San Mae, and arrived at Panama in Jaauari , tl°B79ll.intontinned the survey of the coast from Point Male, the neither& point of Panassa•bay to Point Barite, the southern point of Cost* Rica, in lat. 8 deg. north. This completes the survey of the astir* west coast of loath America by the British government; and, in fact, tile minis Smith American continent hoe now been sue rasa by the British and French—by the latter oa the east case as far south as the River Plate, and by the former from the Plate round to eight degrees north in the Pacific. From Costa Rica the Herald came direct to these islands, end arrived here on the Bth of May. After • short stay here, she sailed again on the 19th for Petropaulovskoie, to carryout the attempt of the past year, which she did not then succeed in doing. It was not a little gratifying to hear it asserted by the slither of the ship, who very obligingly communicated the above information, that of all the places touched at on the mks they had found none that equalled Honolulu as a plea sant and agreeable place, for its intelligent society,and for asduosimesdations pallid and orderly charactering_ of th e town. May such ever be merited. We have no means of know exactly, but have esti mated Os distance sailed by the Herald since leaving Eng ine& as 60,000 to 60,000 miles. And now, instead of tare bll its mama homeward, alter a anise of nearly four years, tea Vela launches out among the icebergs of the Arctic sea, k pursuit of an object that don honour to humanity, end re flects great credit on the government that sends her forth. We hope that success may attend her, and that she may en joy the satisfaction of affording relief to an ezpodition that his awakened the most lively interest and sympathy of the whole civilised world. " Surveying voyages, bite the one in which the Herald kas been engaged, ere not usually attended by those I ril- Rant incidents that attract the notice of the world, but their results and benefits are chiefly reduced to pracdW value in the form of map. and charts; and while laborious and eelf denying to the officers and men engaged in them, are equally creditable to those nations that sustain them for the benefit of all commercial countries. " The Pandora, which has been connected with the He raid in her surveying cruise, is now here, and will sail in a day or two for Ragland. " We have seen it iatimated in some of the American I prints, that, under the cover of surveying, she had, in fact, been engaged in smuggling. We have good authority for cal -1 tradicting this asseetien, and for expressing our disbelief of it. As a national mask she was sada obligation to render assistance to British merchants ; and, doubtless, during the troubles that have waned upon the west coast during the past few years, she may have thus been so employed. But that a British government vessel is justly chargeable with the algae et smuggling, we have no ides whatever. England has too mush trouble in preventing the violation of her own Excise laws not to refrain from allowing such a breach, by one of her commissioaed vessels, of the laws of another kingdom. Self-interest and self-respect, had she no higher Modell, would prevent such an infringement of the rights of others. Her rights England has no occasion to waive or es by MAXI."

Last evening, information was forwarded by elec tric telegraph from Southampton, that Manning— against whom and his wife a verdict of wilful murder was returned by the coroner's jury who inquired into the cause of O'Connor's death—had been arrested on Monday evening, at Beaumont, Jersey. The par ticulars of this event ars detailed In a Supplement to the Jersey Zeus, dated Tuesday last. They are as follows: BERMONDSEY MURDER. ARREST OF MANNING. Jersey Times Ones, Tuesday morning. We are now enabled to announce the gratifying fact that Manning was captured last evening about nine o'clock, and safely lodged in prima. He arrived in this island last Thursday week, 16th inst., and took lodgings at Mr. Berry's, the Navy Arms, in isluleaster-street, where he remained until els following Thursday snorn'ng, and on Die then leaving, desired that his bed should be kept for him, as he would Memos, Saturday. While there, he went out early in the morning and returned in the evening generally under the influence of liquor, of wtskui he drank more before he retired for the night. fie had once arranged with the cap. fain of a sailing.vessel to go with him early in the morning to Guernsey, but did not get up in time. From his quitting the Navy Arms, until yesterday, there was no direct trace of him ; he took lodgings on Thursday lest at Mr. Bertheau's, a private house a little off the St. Aubin'e road, on this side the third tower ; wbile there he kept very close, and might have remained longer con cealed but for the notice taken of his so frequently sending to the same house for a bottle of brandy. This caused a sus picion, and information was given to Mr. Ceutenier Chime. Her, who immediately repaired to the place,. accompanied by two officers of the Ln neon Detective Pol ice, Om of whom was well acquainted with Manning, from his having had to I do with him in the affe.r of the mail robbery on the Great Western Railway, for which Poole rul Nightingale were 1 convicted. Os arriving at the house, it was ascertained that the lodges was in bed, and admirable arrangements were made for getting a sight of his face, and securing him before he could offer any resistance. He was, however, easily rap tured, and was in a very nervous state. Near him was a bottle of liquor and a rlsor. lie immediately recognised Mr. Edward Langley, of the London police, and dated that ' he wee glad he had come, as he was thinking of going to London to explain all. One of his first qaestioas was, "Is the wretch taken ?" alluding to his wife ; and, on being answered in the affirma tive, he observed, " Ism glad of it—that will save my life I" In subsequent conversation, he endeavoured to throw the I whole blame oa the woman, and stated that she had caused the grave to be dug some time before ; and, after having laid the cloth for dinner, bad in vited O'Connor <Urn stairs to wash his hands, and while he was c rZ4o the kitchen for that purpose, had taken the op of firing at him from behind. be phonier admitted that all the things in the room whin in was lodging belonged to him, adding that he had found a man to give him twelve pounds for his furniture in Londe's—all the money he had to start with, of which seven sovereigns which he gave up was the remsinder. On his arrival at the Navy Arms, in Mulcastea-atreet, his first in quiry was to see the Times newspaper. During his stay there he regularly breakfasted and supped with the other guests, but rarely dined with then. Me carried himself rather high, tasked of his INNS the French revolution, that he must go to Franco, sued require ea interpreter, as he did not speak the language. During the passage from Southampton he bad tweed himself upon a respectable geininger, with 1 whom he shared a double•bedded roam. bat Se when. es ' well as to several masters of vessels, and in the louse, be so behaved ea to render himself anything but a favourite. He always evinced a great desire to see the newsmen, and M Saturday, the 19th, he went to the Union Hotel on pur pose to read the Tames. At the Navy Arms he paid regularly for everything h• had, including a glass of brandy, before he went away. This etnipled with his leaving a trunk, a coat, a pair of trousers, &a, made the host fully expect his return. In addition to this extract, oar correspondent at Snithempton sends us the following: I SOUTHAMPTON. W IDNISDAT, 9 P.M. Owing to there being no warrant to demand Man ning from the Jersey authorities, he is not expected in Southampton before Monday evening next. Mr. Whicher, of the London detective force, was in South ampton at the time the news of hie capture arrived there, and telegraphed it to the Secretary of State. We understand that the capture was made by the governor, his eon, Sergeant Langley, and Constable Lockyer. The last two officers had been out all day on Monday pursuing their search, when, while returning to their quarters about hall-past 9in the evening, the ' landlord of the house in which Manning was staying beckoned them to him, and stated that he had got a sun in bed whom he strongly suspected was the man they were looking after, so nearly did he answer the description of the pereon charged with the murder of O'Connor, as printed and circulated by the police au thorities. It would seem that the officers did not immediately act without the presence of one of the heal authori ties, and the governor was sent for, and he soon arrived, accompanied by his son. All four then pro ceeded to the room in which Manning lay, and a sight of his face having been obtained, the govt rnor threw himself upon Manning and secured him, but the letter offered no resistance whatever. Inspector Haynes, accompanied by a constable, has this morning started fur Jersey with the necessary warrant for the removal of the prisoner to the metropolis. Tho subjoined is from our Bristol correspondent : BRISTOL, Wednesday Afternoon. Intelligence has been received here this afternoon, on what is believed to be good authority, of the arrest of Man ning, the murderer, at Jersey yesterday. The information, brought by a railersy guard, has been confirmed by a respectable merchant, and it is stated to have been derived by both from the Brunswick mail packet, from Jersey to Top sham. The arrest is said to have been made in s beer•shop Wand. We may add that th 9 earliest information of Manning's hiding place was given in this paper exclusively on Friday last, from information obtained direct from Guernsey. The intelligence was trans ferred to the columns of nearly ,11 our contemporaries, and in no one instance was the source to which they were indebted for it acknowledged. MANNING AND THE SALE OF THE MURDERED MAN'S STOCK. TO TEN EDITOR OT TRH ESTEEMS. flir,—l would call your attention to the fact, that neither of the two brokers, appearing as witnesses, in to-day's report of the coroner's inquest, yesterday holden on the mur dered O'Connor, is a member of the Stock Exchange. There is, nothing particular to comment on in the conduct of the first of these gentlemen, but it may be instructive to the public to notice the manner in w hich Mr. Bassett does bushier for Messrs. Killick, his employers. I am proud to feel that no member tf the Stock Exchange would transact businees for a stranger at all ; our customs uni formly requiring an introduction from a friend aooompanying every new client. But here we have evidently }leaning himself personating O'Connor days after the murder ; walking a rfeet stronger into lillick's office, signing a blank transfer, and carrying off the moil, all in a few mi nutes. And here we hve Mr. Bassett, by his own admission w h o the transfer, a ttesting the signature of O'Connor, whom he did nut know from Adam, and paying I part only of the produce money. Were the sale rftl, he would have paid the whole ; and twenty Eastern Counties would have sold then in the house for—say 170!. cash, instead of*, 1101. redly paid ; though then Manning must have employed a broker, who would hove been linden enough to ark for at least a letter of introduction in the known handwriting of some well-known principal. Row unfortunate for Mrs. Manning that she did not carry her railway scrip to Killick's office, instead of taking that me lees journey to Edinburgh ! Pr bebly, Manning was led to the parties from advertisements in the papers to lend cash on ' shares, and probably the transaction itself was a loan. Of course no member of the Stock Exchange advertises his calling, any more than a banister or physician. Inclosed is my card. I am, sir, &c. A BROKER. Tuesday.

Burgoyne, in which that gentleman Mated that he thought it injuctkioas to mix up with the Mime et the commission any penowil altercations which might have arisen amongst the members; and as, in the requistion call ing the court, personal allusions of an unpleasant nature were made to Mr. Chadwick, he (Sir John Barge's.) sug gested that the court should nor *suntan the subjen =s telae& in the requisition, but that a fresh court should be ceded to hiqvini into the expense of flushing, without refer lines to individuals, and he therefore would propose a rose ludas to that effect. Dir. LESLIE objected to the resolution, and stated, to my the least of it, that it was not very good taste on the put of Sir John Burgoyne, an abvnt member of the commiesim, to dictate the Wane whim the members present should pantie. The court had been summoned for a sped& purpose—that purpose being to consider the expenses of removing the oak by flashier, uader the new commission, as sourced with that under the old Westminster commission, and he was prepared at once to discuss the whole subject. Mr. HUME observed that the court was called to take into consideration the expenses of flushing ; but befall that could be done, he thought that the returns of the e which both of the cocoon sions cost ought to bin the hands of every member. They had not thee. returns and he would, therefore, suggest that the returns be ordered, end that the matter be discussed at a future meeting of the court. After semi discussion the resolution was agreed to. Mr. HUME then proposed a resolution, to the effect that the slicers of the commission be requested to make a return of the relative expenses of the two systems, to be forwarded to etch member of the commision. Mr. LESLIE said he had sufficient returns in his posses. sioa to .noble him to proceed at once. Mr. Hume, Mr. Bcd well, Mr. Byng, and himself, represented property to the amount of two millions and a quarter that was annually rated, and it was their duty to protect the 'stamen. He was reedy, and could prove, that the expenses under the premise commission, as compared with that of the late. were most einavereat ; that the secret committee had born, sad were, spending the money of the ratepayen In a greedy ex travagant manner. The Rev CHAIRMAN roes to order. Mr. LESLIE said there wee no objection to hie being hit hard, but when he attempted to return the blow he was called to order. He would call the attention of the court to the expenditure of 757 k on behalf of the Sewers Manure Company, the return of which would only be 16a. (Cries of " No, no.") Here Mr. JOHNSON rose and maid such was not the fact. Mr. HUME and other members suggested that the sub ject had better be dropped. Mr. LESLIE was surprised that Mr. Johnson should make such all 'martian. The money had been grossly tad improperly elnended. After a long'and angry discussion of a personal nature, the resolution et Mr. Hama was adopted, sad the court adjourned. THE CHOLERA.

A well known burglar, named Philip Dixon, now lies in Chester Castle await ing his removal to a penal settle ment. He was convicted at the last assizes of has.ng re. turned from transportatim before the period of his sentence had expired. Tree Chester Courant gives an autobiogr.phy of this criminal, from which we extract the following &comsat of his swaps from the balks: I was removed with nine more, out of about 1,400 pri soners, to Portsmouth, to the York hulk. Here I remained for neatly 20 months ; during this time I saw 14 convicts so severely fl Aged that the flesh came from the back-bone, and were inunecuately sent out to work again with the rest of the convicts, all for bad behaviour. On one occasion I was present when a convict of the name of Hatter murdered one guard, James Connor; I seised the mallet out of his hand at the time, but it was too late—the poor guard was dead ! For this Hatter was tried at the Winchester miles, go wiih this man to an ale-house, where see met with n luau that had rubbed this hawker the' I was s ath 5i ; ; struck him for doing this; he said—" V..ry well, Dix .n, you will remember this." I was shortly after this followed by about 200 men, and was taken into custody, and was wry ill treated and beaten. I was asked my name ; I told them ft James Elmer& Next morning I was brought boors the magistrates, and this man that I had beaten was there, sad he told them who and shot was. When I board It I fainted, a; I had not been able to sae my poor children ; all my anxiety was about them. SYMPATHY WITH THE HUNGARIANS. condemaed, and hung. " I was still very unhappy, and whilst ni are yof my fellow sufferers were fast asleep in their hammocks, I was thinking of my poor wife and children, and contriving in my mind how I could make my escape from that place. I was, is the day time, working on the gun•wharf, and there I picked up a f ile. I concealed it under my sleeve and brought it in. The following night, when all was still and quiet, I began fl'ing the bars of the port window of hhe ship, but dare not do much at a time, lest I should be heard. The next night I did the same. I generally embraced the opportunity of working at this when the tide might be coming in and the wind made a noise, so that the guard should not bear me from the quarterdeck. When I had finished a certain portion of my filing I filled it up with brown soap, which was the colour of the paint on the bars. I found I could not get en so well as I wished that night, so I corcealed myself under the hammock en the Thursday evening, when all the prisoners went to chapel. During this time I did a peat deal of work towuds getting the iron ben front my window; I had them /ill finished on the 9th night; I got up about 12 o'clock, to get through the window and jump into the sea, but the tide was going out at a very rapid pace, and the wind was so very high that 1 was obliged to give it up for that night. I was, as I suppose, seen by some of the prisoners putting in the asap the next morning, and as I came up on deck I was stopped by one of the efticers ; one of them went down into my ward, and found the iron ben bad been out ; they . brought me before the captain ; they put a pair of eras irons upon me ; I kept them on, snit worked in them and slept in them for three months. They then shifted me into the dockyard, where they thought I should be more secure ; but I knew better, for after my irons were taken off, I resolved a second time to make my escape, for I could not forget my poor wife and children; they were constantly before my mind. I was determined to get some clothing out of some of the men•ohwar ships, which were in the dockyard. In this I succeeded, and got a shirt, a cap, a handkerchief, and an old pair of trousers. I concealed them in my own cell, one by one, at different times, and kept them in my hammock until I could find an opportunity of making my escape. I got up one morning about 3 o'clock, and dressed myself with the clothes I had stolee, and put my convict's dress over them. At the time we =tottered, which we slims about 7 o'clock In the morning during the win• ter, the guard searched me, and I passed. I got into the boat, and was again detect ed ; was called on the quarter deck, and was stripped naked. I was sgain ironed, and put into the black hole, and was kept there fourteen days and nights, upon a pound of bread a day and plenty of water. Seven of these days I did not see daylight, but the other seven days I was allowed to exercise an hour in the day. After the expiration of these fourteen days I was brought out of the black hole, and when I got on deck, I, for the Brat time of my life, fai nted. The irons were kept on me. I was then under the dancer's are for about three weeks. After this I went to work as usual, with about 201bs. weight of iron' upon me for full three months. During this time my win came to see me. I was cut to my heart on amain of bar great distress of mind. She wept bitterly when she saw the heavy irons upon me, and told me that both het and her children& were amine= a state of starvation, as the parish would not allow them sufficient to support them. I thought to myself, when I saw her, I will try again to make my escape, for her sake and for the sake of my dear children. I could not rest night nor day on their account. After having seen her I became more determined and deeps rate than ever. I was again sat to work in the Dockyard, with light irons. I considered a plan one night when la my hammock, and which I was resolved to try the next day, although I had several guards to pass, end a very losg way to swim. I prayed that GA would assist me through it for my family's sake. "Consequently, on the following night, when we had left off work to go into the small 'boat, which always took us from our work to the ship, the York,which was on the ' 25th of November, instead of going into the boat I ran up to the piles, under the jetty, up to my middle in water, when I remained for about an hour and a half. When the boat was pushed off to return to the hulks, I heard the guard say, Where is Dixon ?' I heard one of them say, ' lie has done us at last, for he is not here.' When they came on shore they were over my head, and again exclaimed he has done us ; they asked one of the soldiers whether he had seen one of their men, snd he answered no. All this time I was In the water; I was afraid to use my file to take off my Irons, lest the soldier above me should hear me ; presently, the drum on board the Victory was beaten, as is usual. I .then began to use my file, and got my iron off. As soon as it became dusk (it was very foggy) I began to strip. I ut tered up a few words in prayer, and cast myself into the water. The tide was coming in very strongly; I went at a rapid rate, and had to pass by a guard on board the Illustrious and several other guards higher up the harbour. After I had been in the water about a quarter of an hour I heard a gunshot; after this several more had been fired; I thought they were all coming to me • I then thought it was a ll up with me; I was alarmed: but I believe it was only in consequence of the Queen having visited Port'mouth that day, and they were taking down the standard. I was so much terrified with this shooting, that when I passed by the King George's yacht, I fastened myself to one of the buoys; it was, however, so very cold that I was obliged to let go, and plunge again into the great deep. I ulth stately ended at Polchester Castle, a distance of about five miles from the dockyard ; when I got out of the water I was almost exhausted, and was forced to lie down for a considerable time, so I had nearly lon the use of my arms. I then started off, naked ; I think it must have been about nine o'clock, p.m., and travelled on some distance, when I heard the footsteps of some one, and it struck me it was one of the guards on the Portdow n Bridge, where a file of sol diers are always kept. I returned back again, and went over a small hill, 'at the bottom of wh i ch was a smell river, about as wide as the Dee. I swam across this river, which I found much more cold than the sea. I went over hedges and ditches, quite asked, until it was daylight ; I then got into a pig-stye, and covered myself over with straw, and remained there until night, without food or drink, and *enrol thorns in my feet. I then started off again, and travelled all eight, until I got to a farmhouse, and made my way into one of the stables, where I found an old smock frock, which I gladly pat on me. litre I remained all day. This was the third day I had had no food. Going over Epsom racecourse I saw a policeman ; I turned down a lane be• fore he could see me, and got into a cottage, where I found an old woman ; I begged for mercy and par don ; she took me to the fi re, and gave me a pair of stockings, a cop, and an old pair of shoes. I travelled ow, but was so much fatigued that I was obliged to go to a house and beg for a bit of bread ; I got some, with come cheese. On my way onwards I saw a man with seas cattle going to London ; I helped him to drive the cattle, and he gave me 41d., being all he had. I wanted a night's rest, and went to a lodging-house on the road ; I milted the woman how much my lodgings would he ; she said 4d. I had only then one halfpenny left ; with this I bought some apples. I went to bed and had a good night's rest, and started off early next morning for London ; when within a mile of the town I stopped at some common, and there was a load et coals brought to a house ; I got the coals in for them, and received sixpence and something to eat. I then went into London, and found out a man whose brother was a cinvict, and who had told me where he lived. He gave me clothing, plenty to eat, and 10s. to sten me off. I started off the day after, and went by the way of the canal until I reached Oxford. I stayed one night on the road. I travelled en to Banbury, and from there I went to Warwick. Here I got 2s. for taking charge of some cattle in the fair. Next day I got 3s. 6d. to take some cattle to Birmingham. I had now 7s. 6d., and laid it all out in steel pens. I then wrote to my wife, and informed her where I was; and I went out hawking my pens, and clamed Is. the first day. I travelled on towards Wolverhampton, and earned about 4s. more, and got rid of all my pens. I wrote to my wife to meet me at Wolverhampton. In the mean time I 'bought three umbrella; sold teem, and was able to purchase five more the next day. At nig han d y wife not having yet arrived, I became very unhappy, almost mad, as I found I was as badly oft as ever. The following day I went out again on the turnpike-road, a- d there met my wife coming to meet me from Chester ; it was, indeed, a happy meeting. We travelled on together to Newport, where li to eun ches e t d er o . n m s y ac h cauwdkciancgcuutaumbntallyassi my children My the parish at Boughton, but did not succeed. I received a wife m sneut returnedoby letter to that effect from her. 1 then left the town, where 1 understand about half an hour after Mr. Hill, superintendent of police, arrived then in search of me. Eager to get my poor children, I got nearer and nearer to Chester, within 20 miles, at Whitchurch, where I again met with my wife. Soon after we had got our supper, the policemen came into the house, one through the front door and one through the back. I saw them both. They took bold of my wife. I heard her shout out, " Let me alone ; what have I done ?" At this I leaped over the garden wall, and went off to Went. Here I remained for about a week, and made my way to Shrews bury, from thence to Welshpool. It being market day, I was in the marketigace, when one of the police of the town came end asked me whether I knew Phil Dixon, as he heard he was in town. I referred him to a man at an orange stand, red d h t fol ld Newtown; here I remained for a few days hawking um uhimabtohuatt he came t fr e m u ut C att hes e t o ef i a an grn d a n , o " do d ub w t e w c ou t w ould beau, and found that I was known by some persona that kept stalls in the market ; se I soon left there and went to I Machynlleth. Shortly after breakfast I saw two policeman, one from Newtown. 1. was afraid they were after me. I went out and shook hands with the Newtown policeman. IBe spoke to me and appeared very much afraid of me. I got into the back yard and started off for Aberystwith. I afterwards heard that fin officers came down and took up another man in mistake for me. At night I arrived at a house on the road wane none of the family could speak English. I had to show them my money, and put my hand to my mouth to say I wanted something to eat. Next morning 1 arrived at Aberystwith; I went on to the Iron works at Merthyr, where I got work at a Mr. Crenhar's, and earned He. a week ; I remained here two weeks, and got leave to go and get my wife and children ; I stinted off, and on my was I met with a man who hawked cloth ; with him I went to Bala, PP - I I I I - 22 MEETING AT GLASGOW. On Monday, a meeting called by the Lord Provost, on a requisition presented to him, was held in the City Hall, Gliogow, for thel purpose of sympathising with the Rungs rians, and of memorielising ber Majesty's government in their behalf; also, to take into consideration the conduct of the British government in relation to the Italian refugees at Malta. The large hall was completely crowded. Mr. Ross was called to the chair. . . . . Mr. CLARKE moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting regards with deep emotion the heroic struggles of the people of Hungary in defence of the right of self government, and deems their resistance to the Austrian nation as just, and worthy of the sympathy of Great Britain. Whilst viewing with horror the fermium to which the Hungarians are subjected, this meeting pledges itself to use every available means to prevent the various excesses against that people by the barbarous governments of Austria and Russia." Such was the resolution he had the honour to submit to their notice, and, as a preliminary, he begged to observe, that at any time an expression of opinion or sympathy in behalf of the Hungarian people was justi fiable ; but if over it was justifiable during the past two or three months, in which they had been able to receive the most libelous reports of their wonderful heroism and suc cesses, he thought at was peculiarly appropriate on the pre sent occasion, when, according to the news lately come to hand, it appeared that they had sustained reverses. He was not one of those, and he addressed this meeting to night ss not belonging to the class who were disposed to rejoice with a nation or individual that happened to be PlO cerful, but to withhold sympathy when they were de feated. The Hungarians were either right or wrong in their struggles. If they were right, then it was as plainly their duty to sympathise with them when they seemed to have sustained a defeat, es it was their duty to rejoice and be gratified when they had been successful. On a former occasion he bad endeavoured, with as much clearness as he mall, to lay before them the state of the question between Hungary and Austria. He could not believe that the Hungarians were defeated. Men fighting for; liberty were net so easily put down; and it was exceed ingly unlikely that the Hungarians, who had been contend ing with the Austrians for the last three hundred years, and who had at present large and brave armies, should be so soon discomfited. The question now arose, what ccul t this meeting dot Could they do anything in defence at Hun gary ? He thought much might be done. There were two ehjections in the way, which, to some extent, caused diversity of opinion. The first was the principle of non intervention ; and the second, that of the feeling against war, which, he was happy to say, was gaining ground rapidly. He (Mr. Clarke) entered at length into these two objections; and, in regard to the first, said that in a just and religious cause it was their duty to interfere • and in re gard to the second, he stated that while opposed to war, he considered it would be right in the British government to espouse a just cause, and, it called upon, to go to war its de fence of the rights of the people of Hungary. (Deafening applause, renewed again and again.) The nation should prosecute the cause which they deemed just; and, if war was the oom be eqnence, it would a defensive war— a matter of necessity. But, as • meeting, what could they dot Why, they could express an opinion, which was moat important. Mr. Clarke concluded by an eloquent appeal to the meeting to express their sympathies with the Hungarians—engaged as they were in • struggle for the liberty handed down by their ancestors. Mr. W. WALKER, in seconding the motion, observed, that when he looked to Rome, he saw the church of the oligarchy beginning to totter ; and next hie eye was turned to that oligarchy which upheld the church so long ; and from that he looked to Hungary. Yet, looking farther he saw thee if France only bad done her duty, Hungary would stand in a di ff erent position than she holds now. (Cheers.) But France had betrayedltemelf, and had betrayed her principles. The awful hour, however, would come, when a dreadful reckoning waits on such a nation. (Cheers.) When they looked to the probable results of this great Hungarian struggle, they would see that had not Russia interposed, Vienna would have been herself a republic; and Italy throughout all her states would have followed the example. He concluded by seconding the adoption of the resolution, which was put and carried. Mr. MATTHEW CULLEN, in rising to propose the next resolution, observed that from the numerous meetings that had been held throughout the country, and from the expression of seal and patriotic sentiment shown and ex ' pressed by eminent individuals in the land, as well as from the animated expression of feeling which had come from those who preceded him, little would be required from him in order to convinca them of the necessity of still extending I their sympathy with the Hungarian people, whether they t were victors or vanquished. (Cheers.) The opinion now t abroad with regard to the state of Hungary, and • the statements made, were so conflicting, that he scarcely knew how to express himself on the subject with accuracy; but perhaps the resolution he had to propose I would speak clearly to the meeting. It was not of a very determined nature. It did not breathe the soul.burning I words uttered by their countrymen elsewhere, because t some of them had called loudly for government to recognise I Hungarian independence. This resolution went to the 1 effect that a memorial be presented to her Majesty, calling t on her to remonstrate with the Austrian government against such atrocities as had been perpetrated on the Hungarians in their struggle for self-govern scent, and that as the Hungarian nation had been I compelled to submit to Austria, that they might be treated in such a manner as humanity, added to the justice of their t cause, entitles them to ; also that the meeting expresses Its ' astonishment at the inhuman treatment Italian refugees base met with from the government at Malta, and urge a searching inquiry into tie matter. Mr. THOMAS BROWN seconded the motion, denounc ing Mr. O'Ferrall, the Maltese Governor, in strong and I indignant terms for his conduct towards the Roman refugee., emtending that they should unitedly end strongly protest t against the men who had been guilty of such barbarity. The motion was carried amidst considerable cheering. Mr. JAMES WILKINSON moved, in terms, that • I memorial C. her Majesty, founded upon the resolutions t agreed to, should be signed on behalf of the meeting by the I Chairman, and forwarded to the Home Secretary fee pre- I Mutation. The mover extreme', himself strongly in favour I of the peace movement. Mr. WILLIAM JoHNSTON seconded ' the motion, which was unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN then introduced Dr. EItDOHAZY, the Hungarian refugee, whose appear ance was hailed with vehement cheers. As nearly as we could understand his speech, from his imperfect pronuncia tion, he spoke to the following effect—Citizens of a country of the free and the brave, I trust you will pardon me for not expressing myself as I would wish, and you could undentaad. Being only a stranger, and not hav ing long learned your language, I am imperfect. i thank you for your enthu siasm for my country; and I thank the nation, for I find it the same in the country as in the city. In Hungary it is all for one and one for all, and I perceive you are the same. (Cheers.) I give yon thanks with my full heart for your enthusiasm, but I cannot do it in a fine speech after the great orators who have come before me, but you will excuse me if I do not be able to speak what I feel. (Cheers.) Ido not think but what you will do will be right, and the best you can do ,• and I know and can un derstand it from your own Scottish hearts, which are full of liberty. (Cheers.) You will perceive that the French cock did crow one morning, and the people began to think that the sun of liberty was rising ; but it was only the cock crow ing to betray Christ unto his great enemies. (Cheers.) The people of my country had rights and liberties which were attempted to be talc, n from them, and then they considered it was time for them to ask back what had been stolen, and that freedom should be respected. We had our own constitution, and that embraced that the emperor should rule us by our own laws ; but we began to see that all was being taken away, and all our crime is that we have asked for our own hack again. (Cheers.) It is very often promised to ue. The late emperor promised to give it to us • but when we did not get it, and asked for it , he ordered his troop. to slaughter our people, who did not ask for more than "hey had. Then the late emperor gave his crown to the young man, and after that time we were obliged o fight for what had been stolen from us. (A voice, " Quite right." Cheers.) Thanks to the God of battles, we were sometimes and nearly always victorious. It has been said that Gorg , y has surrendered, but I do not know what to say on that. The news from Viands is made to complete what the emperor means ; and if we grin a great victory, they mike the elephant a fly; and if we lose a little battle, the fly is made an elephant. I thank you warmly for the warm and noble hearts you have shown to my courtly this night. It is enough for me to see an assembly like you here in the cause of liberty ; for you, noble Sootchmen, I think, will translate the name of Hungary as " liberty"—(great cheer ing)—and I pray that you lorg—very h ng--may be happy and free. (Great cheering.) Your poet Burns has said very greatly when he writes:— Then let us pray that come it may, And come it will for a' that, That sense and worth, o'er a' the earth, )fay bear the pee and a' that, For a' that, and a' that, It's coming 3 et for a' that, That man to MID, the world wide o'er, Shall brothers be, and a' that. Immediately after, thanks were given to the chairman, - and the meeting dispersed. it to DRAINAGE OF VIE AETROPOLIS.—Up to last even log 74 plans for the drainage of the metroplis had beea received at the metropolitan court of sewers.
