Bat this was done ; and what was the argument I head oily the other day by an eminent man, whoa I was Widest to him about this) Way ha said, per then was sot another man that could hews got on so wall with the Preach. Well, bat my answer was • very simple ass. U there was no other man who could get on well with the From* and if this one man wee not a fit man to emus& your army, one of two things should have happreed. You should not have gone into the war at all, or you should not have gone into the war in alliance with the French, whom no man bat this man could work with. But there appears to have been no sort of notion that It was a real war, be cause we know very weU that men of seventy, to be on horseback many hours • day, thoasaads of men to superin tend, to have Use medical department, the coraminniat de partment, the transport dopartmeat, everything, in fact, to come under his eye, and to be responsible to fellow all the men—for be becomes, and ought to be, a despot over all who are under him,—l say, tu appoint a man to all this difficult Ind almost impossible labour who is verging upon seventy , yews of age, and not the meet robust men of that age, it is • 1 guilt on he part of government—(hear)—that it sacrifices needlessly the lives of its subject., and it commits, I think, a vile and unpardonable offenee, and ea issult to the common , sense and right feeling of the people. (Cheers.) Why is it, now, that Lord Raglan has never been readied ? Not that they are meddled with Lord Regime; bat he is the son of a duke, the brother of a duke, and the uncle of a duk e; and being of that party which All. itself ommervative, in all the fault which that party have found in the house with regard to this war, they have cent said anything against Lord Raglan, end of coarse on that side of the how on which I sit, the ministers who appointed him are not likely to say much against him, nor are those who are their devoted partisans, and defend and consider everything right which their leaders do. I have not said anything about it, for the reason that I have abstained altogether until this hoar from saying anything about the manage ment of the war ; it seemed to be exclusively my deity and my place, so far se I could &mover it, to contest the point as to the justice and necessity of the war. (Cheers.) And I have preferred to leave questions of management to those more mined in eseh matters, and who would not co operate in ~Lang in question the propriety of the war itself. Now, what is the position of the English and French armies in the Crimea ? There is talk in the papers that something great is going to take place, and 1 am not enough versed la these matters to my that it will sot; but I believe that the universal opinion of military authorities, both in England and Frame, is this, that the hope of beaming rammer. of Sebastopol seems to I be more faint from day to day, from week to week, and I from month to mouth. Your armies, having gone through the perils of a severe winter, are new approaching the no sma ll er perils of • summer in that climate ; and my , besot opinion is, that there is not more unanimity in this meeting at this moment with regard to the desire for pease, , for an armistice, that the men should oome back to their ' country—each as have survived the disasters of this campaign—than there is amongst both officers and men fighting, as they suppose, for the rights and interests of England before the fortifieations of Sebastopol. Bat there is another point to which very great interest is attached at this moment, and that is the capital of the Austrian empire ; and our government has mat oat there a simossew who, as I believe, and Mr. Greg has said, Is at least s• much responsible for this war as any other mannennelmil with this country. I shall not go over the stem in *Mk Lord John Russell has talked rubbish to Adak ad mislead the people. (Cheers.) I have told him in the Hewn of Commons, and it may be my duty to tell him ar, hear)—that I believe there is no man la the logien mere responsible for the terrible sufferings of this war thus he is. (Hear, hear.) It was partly on that account that I was glad that he undertook the mission to Vienna, for before he *eat a change was observable In his language, and I am not certain that he was wholly union scions of 'the part which he had had in the difficulties with which his country was surrounded. He has gone to Vienna, and I believe he has gone to Vienna in the honest hope of signing a treaty of peace, and coming back to this country with some repair to a reputation that has been rudely slut. tared of late. (Hisr, hear.) Well, but about the four point.. Lord Palmerston, the oth r night, in the House of Commons, whoa somebody asked about the four pent., said that of course everybody understands the four pinata—the fast being that there is scarcely anybody that knows any. thing about them. Now, the four points mean this, that these principalities which the Russians entered when they crossed the Froth, shall not es heretofore be under the protection of Russia, but shall be Nader the joint protec tion of the different powers, the change beteg manly this, that Russia takes I. several partners to the torate. With regard to the woks of the Christians is the Ottoman empire, it is intended—l gather these things from the Kuria, the protectorate, or assumed protec torate of Kuria, shall mese as an exclusive right, and that Russia shalt take in the other Europese powers as partners in the protectorate for the futon. Ide not see myself that that does melba the indepladeasest the Ottoman empire.

Mr. Baum, M.P., was then celled upon, and was re solved with loud applause. He said—Mr. Chairman, it has been observed by more then one of the gentlemen who have preceded no, that we have made some proems in getting ' out of • room somewhat small late this large and handsome 'podgiest. I am neyeoU of opinion that the change to be notiaed in them weakly muting. is but a mark, • proof— an ladication, at say rate—of the change which is taking plan la this eity, and I believe is almost every part of the Baited Kingdom. (Hear, boar.) There is, however, a very streog feeling in the public mind ; nut exactly such us was observable some twelve months ago, and such as wee particularly hot about six months ego. (Hear, hear.) Thee we had • rut deal of what I venture to describe as nothing better than • frothy eentimentallim in favour of the Turks ea the ono bend, or of the Poles or the Heap riae s on the other. Not that • sentiment in favour of any people is to be styled 'frothy when it is boast, whoa it is logical, when it same from an Intelligent comprehension of the Interests of that people ; bat it wee in my opinion but a frothy sentimentalism in this country, when it seemed to have no definite object, and was to be gratified only by an nuns hostility to on. country, and by plunging this nation into the induseihable calamideset war. (Rear, hear.) There is a feeling now prevalent, but it is of a very different character. It sums to me one rather of shame, or denims raged up with disgust ; and I think most sensible people in thiseountry would be glad now, if they could obliterate, wipe out literally, the records of the transactions la which we have been engaged, diplomatisally and in military affairs, during the lest two yean. (Hear bur.) I eon feuthat, for =pelf, I bow my head with shame when I look book upon the follies and the crimes of which this nation, of which I am a citizen, Das, to my mind, been goal". (Hear hear.) And then, at this =meat, I feel nomilistod, b ecause we find ourselves in such • helpless coadition ; for with this feeling of shame and disgust, there appears to be nothing whatever done or doing oa the past of the nation to bring .be government to a better course, and to fattiest* ourselves from the difficulties into which we have so passionately plunged ourselves. We have a government, u we all know, of distinguished men, — that is, distinguished, some of them, by lines of ancestry—(laughter)—moreurrectly and exactly recorded than anything of whin we, down here, pretend to boast of. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) We have a government, as we have bed, for the last two years, made up almost exclusively of lords—(bear, hear)—men who do not consider it neces sary for them, or becoming them, one or the other, to engage in those avocations which, in Lancashire, are generally con sidered to be befitting to almost all men, and bonearable, serial*, to all *he are engsged in them. (Hear, hear.) We have a government of lords, of hereditary persons, who kindly undertake to rale this great nation, charging us 5,000/. a year for each of these persons,and they consider it very often extremely impertinent if we make any comment whatsoever epos the meaner is which we are governed. (Haas, hear.) Now, I am one of those wbo believe, notwithstanding we have been very foolish of late, that there is wisdom saougb, manly strength enough, power of intellect enough, morality enough, in this country, to afford us a very much better government titan we have seen:of late—(cheers)—and that, possibly, when we take matters • little more Into our own hands, we may find the national affairs managed somewhat better than they have been of recent years. Foreign affairs, lest now, are those which nutty interest us, but yet we know almost nothing about them. Your diplomatic system is one which the people of England do not in the least cum prebend. It is jut as much under ground to them as the working of the moles in any of your fields; it is never brought to daylight until it has done all the mischief of which it is capable, and years after the time has pasted when it was possible fir the nation to apply any remedy to the evils whisk wen being produced. Now we know, as you know, our ambassador at Constantinople—Lard Stratford de Rod cliffe—a man sent to Constintioople by the late government I presume chiefly because he had bon then for many years belore—(•. bear," and laughter)—but a man of whom two things may be said, I believe, without any chann of antra diction. The ono is that he is, perhaps, a man of the very worst temper for tra nsacting business along with other men that could be found amongst the 27 millions of the people of the United Hiogd ,in. (" Her,' and laughter.) And farther, that he is a man baring, tette have one feeling more predominant than another, a feeling of direct personal hostility to the lea Emperor of Russia. Ho was appointed many yews ago—neerly 20 years ego—to be amberisador to Sc. Petersburg, and the Emperor of Russia refused to receive him se ambassador. I conceive, then, taking into con sideration his notorious temper, and this peculiar disqualifi. ratios, that if the late government had sought throughout England to find amen particularly and especially disqualified for bang ambassador to Constantinople, at thiscrisis, they would, above all others, have picked out Lord do Ratcliffe. Lord Stratford, duriag his whole time at Constantinople, whilst these negotiations were going on, did his very nunost,—and his utmost was meet sucoreeful—to deter, —by coercing at one time and by threats at another,—the oltan and the government of Turkey from making the slightest concession that might have put an end to thus difficulties, saved Europe from convulsion, this country from war, and Turkey itself from that destruction which war meet inevitably bring upon it. (Cheers.)

Thee, it is said, Russia is willing we should build fortifications at Sinop*, on the south side of the Black Sas, with their frown ing battlements and bristling cannon, to face Sebastopol on the north side of that sea. But would it be desirable for us, who have pot • most useless but a most expensive foriflea tion at Gibraltar, which we filched from Spain, who have got an rotator and impregnable fortification at Malta, and who have been laying out vast same for fortifying Corfu, to have gigantic fortifications in the Black Sea, sustained there year after year, and for ever, at an enormous expense to this country, and • groat fleet to prowl about that str!, just as our fleets are—se many of them unneeemarily—pro erg about the seas and mesas of the globe ? The fact is this ; so long as Ranier is one united, powerful, growing country, nuder a stable and intelligent government, and so long as Turkey is llehontatedan, with • majority o f its subjects Christian and dbaffected, and when all principles of g averment are either entirely unknown or neglected by the Marna audaasad thegeb::v.armaphicalent—inlisofteitiorthliTamg upitirtruretheilyasneswbseriae, sone of these contrivances of diplomacy at Vienna or elsewhere eta possibly y destre the prepeaderance of Russia in the Black Sea. Well, now„ when we get to that point, we are driven back to this—What was ft we began the war fort I ant in favour of the negotiations. I wish that, the first and second points having been agreed to, the third and the fourth should be arranged with equal facility. lam not without hope that they will be arranged is some manner or other. I cannot believe that the Foreign Minister of the Emperor of the French—a gentleman whom I have met, who has therputation of being a man of great ability, and fully competent to manage affairs of thi s ki n d— s h ou l d en the part of France, go to Vienna ; that Lord John Ras sell should go on the part of this country, a man who has been primp minister for assay year, who is one of her , Majesty's principal secretaries of state, who has himself been, to a great extent, the author of this war—l cannot think those two men should go to Vienna merely to mar the work which they profess te have gone to manage, and 1 think that so man can gain reputation by coming b ack front the arena baMed diplomacy; and therefore, so far as England and Ferraro °encored,' have strong hope that they will make sash annamairs as are just and honourable, for I believe ise Mb= will be required of them, end that, so far as they seer saserned, peace is at leer possible. But then there is maids, which the people of this country have a sort of her ge of. It is the raw head and bloody bones. I suppose ow that all children is our nurseries almost have forgotten roes old horrors with which injudicious nurses used is frighten them, and that the Ru-sisn Czar, in one of those frightful pictures with which Punch has endeavoured to civilise the people, is pat up to frighten these little ones, when they contravene any of the rules and regulations of their nurseries. The people of England fancy that all he arse entree is their own government, and that it may do so I. the government of France, about which they were nut very particular. some two yell* ago. You recollect what they said of Louis Napoleon. Ile was to make • burglarious entry hero some night, with 60,000 men. The militia were to be called out. Lord Ellesmere was in • panic; end la fact I believe a great many of the boarding-house keepers at Brighton were constantly on the look-out for his fleet. Bat all that was untrue. Louis Napo- , lion had no such intention; it never was his interest, and that may be taken as the prime guide of his conduct. It is not the interest of Easels to embroil herself with the na- I tire of Europe. The treaties which Russia has made with this country have been as faithfully kept as treaties generally I an. There is no government an there is no people on the fees of the earth that has been so universally friendly to the English and to the English people, as the government and the people of Eerie until this unfortunate war; and I warn you against beimg influenoed by a press which has gate matically deceived or mislead you. (Cheers.) I warn you from being misled with the belief that treaties with Russia are of no va:ne. You may be at war for half a century, bit your peace comes to you on a treaty at lust; and • treaty now made before Sebastopol falls, if it ever should fall, is just as likely to be adhered to as one that should be made after the fall of that fortress ; end a treaty made now with Russia is infinitely more likely to be adhered to than a treaty made after you have, by stupendous sacrifices—if t 'lst be possible, which I believe it is not—dismembered Russia, and utterly destroyed her power and preponderance in the Black See. (Cheers.) Now I come back to the objects of the war. Thm were no objects of conquest, it is said, and it Is said there were no objects of glory or of revenge. The fact was that your med dling government, bevies raised a furor in favour of war with Russia, through your ambassador at Constanti nople, and havlsg raised the devil of war in this country by the iejadicions and rimier" speeches of several members of the government In the dilemma between the frenzy here and the turbulence at Conetantinople—your government drifted and drifted till at last they plunged over the falls, and we find onnelves in the miseries w bleb now all our countrymen are deploring, and nobody seems able to extricate us tram. (Cheers.) I have not the smallest doubt that five years after that war is concluded, and much sooner than that, bat certainly when any impartial historian, for whom Lord John Russell prays so devoutly, should come to write the narrative of these negotiations, and of this war, I have not the slightest doubt but his conclusion must be that, with all the follies of this country, we never went into a war where we were less called by interest or by duty, and that we concluded a pears from which we got less advantage ta the country, or lees honour to its statesmanship. Now, consider those men in the Crimea. You bear that the health—morale—of the troops, it is said, is excellent. It is wonderful. They are having nets, and dog hoer, and I do not know what besid?s ; but that does no- thing for those men whose remains are sleeping under the soil of the Crimea. It does nothing for than who are lan guishing in the hospitals at Smyrna and Scutari. It does', little for those who were mangled and maimed and injured fair. It doss nothing for the homes which are desolate ; it does nothing for all those myriads of our population who day by day find the grip of poverty clotting more and more open them. But if the people of this country could only see the one picture and the other—what England might have been, and certainly would have been, if she bad maintained the principle of non• intervention in these European affairs—(prolonged applause),—if they could re this country, cultivated like a garden, every sober and in dustrious artisan living in comfort equal to the average *entert of your middle cluses—if they could see every child well educated, your poorhouses and your sari—buildings for the most part not required—and then contrast with what you are now with those twenty-eight million of debt iD. warred, the largest portion of it fez that needle's war, how that Is wrung from all craw, and not 111111 from the poor, by the tugather ; and remember, also, that this year nearly forty millions—an incredible sum—a sum we cannot count in • lifetime—a sum tea lifetimes could not make as comprehend is the good that it might do for man—that those 40,000,0001. are voted is two or three night in the Rouse of Commons this session to eery on this war, 3,000 miles away from your homes, for objects which your statesmen have never defined, and in • war which threatens to leave us aMieted with many disasters, and without having added one single laurel to our reputation, end having done everything to damage us for etatasinansbip and as a prettiest people among all the nations of the earth. As to the quetion of trade, we never considered the Mors. eheeterthisnikee an infallible estheticy es matters of politics. We have seen it change very much. We have seen ft often wrong. Some one man wrote that article who had probably not exude. d this question nearly so math as many men in this room. We know ourselves—it is not to be written off by leading articles—we knew ourselves that trade doss suffer; that it always did suffer in wet; that it always must Buffer. Every man in business rows that profits are diminished ; that the demand for otaufectures hasfallen off; and that pauperism is refusing in his own parish, as It probably is in almost all the parishes of the country. (Rear, hear.) Well, what are we to do then ? We have home Its/ratios at an end altogether. As regards the interests of Eng.nad, parliament is a nonentity. Meer, hear.) Last session there was nothing to do ; nobody would do any -1 thing ; everybody was asking the news from Verne or Glee where, where we really have so interest at all, except that we have sent a vast number of oar unfortunate runup men there ; and this session the government have so little to ear to parliament as Wittig of legislation that they hass neat us away for • fortnight, just at this time of the yea r, when it is meet present le de wads.

(Enthusiastic cheering.) A vote of thanks to the speakers was moved by the Rev. Dr. DAVIDSON, and seconded by Councillor FILMIC The meeting gave it with acclamation. The CSAINALN announced that in coneequence of the ee- Genesee of Easter week, during which many gentlemen would he out of town, no meeting would be held neat Thundery, and they would re•assemble on Thursday week. EASTER TO WIT.-SOME THINGS WORTH LOOKING AT IN LONDON. For two years consecutively we panned our play hours in a beautiful garden, which, with the building which servedas a school-house, bad been the pet property of a wealthy Geneve... The tenement in question was situate at a dilemma! throe miles fro& Geneva, and the grounds overlooking a vineyard sloping dowa towards the hanks of the bellowing Rhos*, commanded a magnificent view of the Alps, Mont Blanc forming the grand central feature of those sublime snowy barriers which nature has interposed between Switzerland and Italy. Had any one inqaired of us if we had seen Mont Blanc, we should hare felt entitled to answer in the affirmative, having, as we thought, seen the said mountain on various occasions during each day for the period of fall two year,. The mountain monarch had been presented to our view, but we bad not looked at it, and therefore had not seen it. Of this we were one day made sensible, by the lady of the house putting to us the question, whether we had ever looked at Moat Blanc, and whether we felt competent after two years companionship with the mountain to describe its form and general effect to a stranger. We confess we were taken aback; we had net availed °undue of the ample opportunity afforded of eon umplating the glorious object alluded to. Now, said the lady, you are on the eve of returning to England, and most assuredly some who know you come front Switzerland will ask you about the monarch of the Alps. Now look at it stead fastly, mark its towering form, its grand and well-dsfined outline, and the beautiful and varied hues with which the sun gilds its perpetual snows. We did so, and derived pleasure from this intelligent exercise of our eyes, and have ever retained a lively and beneficial recollection of one of the grandest spectacles which nature offers. _ - Now, whether it be works of nature or of art, mono tains, plains, rivers, buildings, pictures, or stature, ear. Mill it is that objects of the highest interest of on, kind or the collar perpetually surround us, and will yield an abundant store of profit and pleasure if we do but make • moderate use of our perceptive facul ties. Although London is not a city of art strictly speakirg, and although its atmosphere is daily polluted by a fog of our own creating, making it difficult to breathe and see, still does it contain some works !of art of surpassing beauty, and presents points of view of an extremely grand nod poetical character. As regards its artistic treasures, we fear it is with the mass of Londoners as it was with us and the mountain, before the good lady directed our mental vision to the beauties of the Alpine monument. They—the Londoners— pus thou treasures by unheeded. A va riety of reasons for this unseemly indifference to the crea tions of genius might undoubtedly be assigned ; nor would such an laquiry be by any means a fruitless one ; but this is not at present our cue. London is on the eve of a holiday, when the hard-worked million take their pleasure and look about them, and so we propose to glance through the smoke at some of the marvels of art of home manufacture, which are consequently legitimate objects of national pride, and which should therefore be cherished by the nation. London bouts no mountain monarch, but presents a building crowning a bill called Ludgate, which has, architecturally speaking, no equal in the world. We speak ezelusively of the exterior of St. Paul's Cathedral. We speak not from books only, butirom experience gained in the metropolis of art—eternal Rome. St. Peter's was built before St. Paul's, is larger, and internally much more magnificent then our cathedral ; but, in point of design, the I exterior of St. Paul's eelipees the exterior of St. Peter's as much as a sparkling diamond outshines a thing of paste. The truth of the old homely adage, " too many cooks spoil the broth," has been painfully realised in building up the out side of the Cathedral of Rome. A variety of architects have only confused and marred Michel Angelo's grand conception. Whereas, in the composition of London's stately pile one majestic idea has been skilfully developed under the inspired guidance of one master mind. If Englishmen set comparatively little value upon Sir C. Wren's masterpiece—an little that they seem not to care whether the south-east view of the glorious fabric be preserved or not—foreigners are not so blind to British genius. We know more than one intelligent foreigner who whenever they find themselves in the neigh bourhood of St. Paul's, and can command the time, never fail to walk round the building; for well-ordered and pic turesque as the west treat is, it is not till the whole has been surveyed that the imagination end judgment of the archi tect can be fully appreciated. Through the filthy state of the atmosphere, more than half of the beauty of the fabric is lest; for though the foliage and varied sculpture that adorn the surface of the building are so designed as not to obtrude upon the sight, thou momenta' details would if not clogged and smeared with wet, fulfil theintended aim, of greatly contributing to the efeet of this architectural masterpiece. Sir C. Wren was no doubt in great measure indebted for his correct and ex alted view of the art of building to the grand and successful eff nts of his immediate predecessor, laigo Jonas, wLoise fragment of • palace at Whitehall is as perfect a specimen as the world offers of the palatial architecture of Italy; while the entire building, of which this specimen is but a , small fragment, would, if executed, have been indeed the wonder and admiration of the world. Old Bt. Paul's was tottering to decay ; Charles I. was ambitious of restoring or re-building the cathedral but of his own private us. Cmitributiens for the repair of the old building came in but slowly, and at left stopped. Ivies) Jones was entrusted with the sum collected, about 20,0001 , and told to employ it as he thought fit. He forthwith built at the west end of the old church a stately Coriathiso portico of eight columns of well chosen Portland stone, not as an adjunct to a gothic bailding as some half-informed and cynical people have id, but as a suitable approach to such a noble edifies as his , royal master and its himself contemplated. The Londoners were highly pleased with Jones's work, and slab seriptione Awed in afresh, for anal—a " mighty zeal," us Sir C. Wren in after years rensuked—ohareeterised the Londoners of those days. Then came civil war, and then tee fire, in the midst of which latter catastrophe the old Gothic building, portico and all, disappeared. Then arose at opportunit for our great architect to give proof of his aaeqeelledtalents: and, indeed, under ordinary eircum stanou, nothing could possibly offer worthy of exercising such extraordinary power., and Wren stood as a giant hav ing to cope with a pigmy. Nothing short, thee, of some tufo, eseen event, attended with vast results, cr uld possibly (Amish Sir Christopher Wren with the means of employing the powerful talent which be had acquired. Under Provi dence, such an event we find 'did occur, in the annihilation by fire of an extensive city, with means at haed to compass ite renadtation, and thereby was opened an arena for the display of skill into which our great architect leaped like an athlet, armed oap.a.p.l. Therein he performed won ders, and it is a striking reflection, and one which readily occurs, that he who way blessed in the highest degree with Heaven's richest gift, intelligence, should have been enabled to show forth his gratitude by erecting to the Deity the most august temple in the land.
