NEWS FROM THE CRIMEA IN TESTER- DAY'S MONITIU.R. We And the following paragraphs in the Monitor yesterday : We reed in the leurrsel of Grallentineple of the :—" Ia spits of the rigour of the season, the allied armies do not sear in the Crimea. Their governments have amply provided there with flannels. woollen stockings, boots, fur coats, good coverings, end provisions of every description and of good quality. The tents, it is known, have been replaced by wooden huts, the materials of which, all ready to be adjusted, are being seat every day by Francs and England. "The ships which have them in charge are con stantly traversing the Bosphorus, carrying them to their destination. The Sublime Porte equally pro. vides its army with these objects, and is having some wooden huts made, which will be speedily sent to the Crimea. We thus see that the three armies can easily wait the propitious moment for striking the decisive blows." We have received letters from Balaklava dated the Ist inst., announcing that' the Ramis& column which was met at Kamaris, before Balaklava, has been ehaeed by the English troops, and that the flight of the Russians was so precipitate that they burnt their pro vender that they might not be impeded in their flight. The same letters tell as that the new commander-in. chief of the English fleet, Sir Edmund Lyons, has pat his flag upon the Royal Albert, and that the Rear- Admiral Stout was to hoist his upon the Aga memnon. The great activity of Omar Penh* and the experi ence he has had in military affairs, lead as to believe that by the 23th or 30th of this month, • corps "ramie of 33,000 men will be disembarked in the Crimea with all the necessary artillery. In addition, Rim Peoh%, the minietar of war, displays the greatest anal is Listening the departure of 11,000 men, easpoued of a magaibent regiment of enmeshes seat by Said-Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt, and *one Tunisian troops. With them different forme added to the Ottoman division of 12,000 men now in the Crimea, under the command of Osman Paoha, Omer Ptah' will find himself, towards the close of the month of January, at the head of an army of 60,000 men. Letters from the Crimea inform us that some portable telegraphs are established upon all the points occupied by the allied armies, and that some Eng lish engineers are expiated to arrive very shortly at BaWave, to form a railroad from that point to the camps of the armies. By this double means all com munications between the chiefs, and between the _ _ _ armies and the points of disembarkation will be speedy, that being so very great an advantage for the operations. GERMANY. TREATMENT OF GERMAN ARMY-SURGEONS IN RUSSIA. (PROM Till COI DAILY 743M1.) BERLIN, Jaw. 16. "Fair play is a jewel," but it cannot certainly be called fair play to prohibit recruiting tor the West and to permit it for the East. And yet this is the position that Prueeia has run herself into, and this is what she calls centrality. As soon as it became known that England intended raising a foreign legion, the governors of provisoes and other Prus sian officials were quick enough to publish manifes toes warning their countrymen not to be enticed by inviting promises of pay and promotion to enter the British Fot eign Legion, and pointing out the ille gality of such enlistment. These warnings, sup ported by similar ones from most of the other States belonging to the German Confederation, and backed by the opprobrious epithets so liberally applied to the legionaries its sue by certain members of the British parliament, which flattering compliments have not tailed to find their way across the Channel, and to be translated into every other European lan guage, and caused such an unfavourable impression, that the above mentioned parliamentary orators may plume themselves with the unenviable and unpatrio tic satisfaction of having deterred thousands of smart young Germans from joining the Legion, and in fact caused the whole measure to become a complete failure as far 69 Germany is concerned, although the Hamburg Correspondent and other impartial journals have not tailed to raise their voices, and quote the favourable opinions expressed in favour of the Ger man Legion employed by England in the last war, and the brilliant achievements performed by them in the Peninsula, by the late Duke of Wellington and other military commanders able to form an opinion on the subject. Bat though Prussia has succeeded in frustrating the enlistment of troops for England, she has permitted it for Russia. During the last few months a copal derable number of young Prussians have been engaged by M. de Budberg, the Russian envoy at this court, under the meet favourable conditions, as surgeons for the Russian army. They are to have the rank of lieutenants on joining, they are to enjoy the promotion usual in the Russian service, they are to have an annual pay of 1,800 silver roubles as assistant-surgeons, and, lastly, they are to have the privilege of selecting the regiment they may wish to join. This looks all very promising on paper— but how have these conditions been kept? Letters have been received here from some of these deluded young men, complaining most bitterly of the treat ment they have received. Boma of them write, that, instead of being allowed to select their corps, they have been sent on boerd some of the line-of-battle ships at Cronstadt ; others, that instead of the liberal pay of 1,800 roubles promised them, they only receive 180, or the tenth part, and as for rank and uniform, that is all moon shine. In !Answer to all complaints on the subject the universal reply they received was, that the Rus sian envoy had no instructions to grant such condi tions, and that as they had now entered the Russian service they must be content to follow the usual regu lations of that service. Fortunately this intolerable state of things, which amounts to a traffic in human flesh, has been put an end to, mainly by the representations of the British ambassador here, supported by his Austrian cot e ; an interpretation baa been put upon the Pith Article of the Act of Confederation, and as it draws no distinction between combatants and non-' combatants, it is admitted that the engagement of military surgeons for an foreign power Is considered illegal, and prohibited for the future. An amusing anecdote is related of the Russian envoy, who, when the Austrian ambassador complained to him of the instice of the measure, defended it by replying, "Only think of the comfort it will afford to the wounded Germans who may fall into our hands, to be traded by their own countrymen." Our letters from Hamburg of the 16th inst. state that, in consequence of the madden setting in of the frost with great rigour (the thermometer in the pre vious night having been down to 10 deg. Resumer below zero), the river Elbe was filling feet with floating ice, and the greatest bustle and activity were everywhere perceptible in the harbour to finish the loading of the outward bound ships and get them off before they were prevented 17 the ice. All the steamers for the different English and Scotch porta, whether loaded or not, were preparing to start the am evening. A north German correspondent writes : The hurricane which caused such havoc amongst life and property in the north of Germany on New. Toar's-day appears to have bade diameter of 'lout 500 miles. It took its rise in the Polar Seas, swept' over the Orkneys and Shetland blonde, covered the whole of the North Ste, caused immense damage in Reiland, Hanover, and Denmark, and went down to Prussia and Austria, whore its fury broke.

PARLIAMENTARY CORRUPTION. AUSTRIA. (rant Tun spounseoirsau es Ins Deus me) VIENNA, Jas. It. Count Arnim, the Prussian envoy, is making every possible exertion to obtain foe Prussia a seat and voice in the conferences for the re-establishmeat of peace. Prussia having by her own vacillating policy lost her former _position u a first-rats European power, Austria, France, and England can carry on the negotiations with Russia very well, and perhaps better, without the assistance of Prussia. The latter has now become greatly alarmed at having carried matters to such a length, and is willing at any price to be spin admitted into the conferences. The allied powers, however, demand the following concessions from Prussia be fore complying with her wishes: lit, her adhesion to the December treaty : 2nd, that she shall offer no opposition to the proposal about to be made by Awns to the Band at Frankfort for the mobilise- tien of the whole army of the German Confederation : sad 3rd, that elle shall herself mobilise immediately a hundred thousand men, and concentrate them as an army of observation on the Russian frontiers. It remains to be seen whether Prussia will accept these conditions. The time appears to be at length arrived when she must make up her mind to follow one steady course of policy, and either join the Western Powers and civilisation, or throw herself into the arms of Russia and barbarism. A despatch wee received here yesterday from the Internuncio at Constantinople, Baron de Bruck, announcing that Turkey has resolved to accept the proposals, made through the mediation of Austria, for the reestablishment of the former amicable relations with Greece, and that with this view the Sultan ham expressed his readiness to sign the treaty of peace and commerce already drawn up and sub mitted by Prince Marrocordato, the Prime Minister of his Hellenic Majesty. This news has made a very favourable impression in our political circles. The followingiewdesprit of the venerable Nestor' ! of European diplomatists, Prince Metternich, is related amongst our latest chit chat. On the Prince being asked his opinion of the present state of affairs with reference to the conferences and negotiations for peace, gave the following oracular reply : "My instinct inclines me to believe in peace; my reason to believe in war." TURKEY. --•-- (FROM TIM Or THY DAILY NEWS.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 8. In a former letter I mentioned that Omer Puha, on strategical grounds, had manifested some degree • of hesitation to join with the force under his com mend in the operations before Sebastopol, and that, in pursuance of an order in council, a firman and imperial rescript had been forwarded, enjoining the , Birder to conform, within the shortest possible delay, to the resolutions of his government. Saib Effendi and Mahmond Bey, the muchteshar of the foreign depart meat, were the bearers of these despatches; but, pre ' vious to their arrival at Varna, Omer Paella had already started for the seat of war to confer, it appears, in the first instanc-, with thenommanders of the allied armies, reconnoitre the positions, and make the requisite arrangements for the reception and en eanipment of his troops. The Turkish generalissimo is expected to return to Varna, previous to his final departure for the Crimea ; asd the above mentioned functionaries, with the im- Zredict, await his arrival in that port. Omer a, it is to be hoped, will be received by Marshal Raglan and General Canrobert with the respect and consideration due to his rank, his noble antece dents, and military talents of no common order. In this case, the best results may be anticipated from his co-operation in this grand enterprise, and the Turks will soon redeem their reputation, which has been tarnished during the campaign—a circumstance as. cribable solely, in my opinion, to neglect, misma nagement, the incapacity of their own officers, and to their having been considered no better than besets of burden, thrown on some occasions completely in the background, and, on others, put forward to a dan gerous extent, without reserve, or hopes of assistance. Eight Turkish steamers, under the command of Admiral Ahmed Paths, are all in readiness, and Will proceed to-day or to-morrow to Varna for the purpose of conveying to the Crimea the remaining tistingeot of the Turkish force. We have had for the first time a little snow daring the last couple of days, but suaseeisi tins morning by a gentle breeze from the south, bright , sus, and mild temperature. Ali Ohalib Pacha has been nominated to the functions of master of the mint; and Ali Pacha, the minister for foreign affairs, in addition to his present functions, has been entrusted provisionally with the presidency of the council of the Tanzimat, is consequence of the decease of Chtkik Pachs, the kW occupant. Rescind Pacha is now at the zenith of political power—his, das Achates, Ali Pacha, minister for foreign affairs ; Chefik Pacha, a not less devoted adherent, minister of finances ; Ali Ohalib Pacha, as just noticed, one son, master of the mint, and son in-law of the Sultan ; Mehemet Bey, another son, secretary of the Sultan. The last named is one of the most amiable and best informed young men I have met in this country. • HOLLAND. (now Tall NT OE THE DAILY NEWS.) ROTTERDAM, Here soldiers are at a discount, and many of them would be very glad to break the monotony of barrack life by active service in English pay. But then, say our government, Holland would violate the neutrality the King in his last speech pledged himself to maintain if she connived at Dutchmen enlisting as Dutchmen into the English service. And yet Holland—perhaps not the government ex officio—was forward enough to lend the Czar a helping hand, not indeed b 7 lending him troops, but that which is to him of far more value than flesh and blood, — the sinews of war. The argument so warmly urged by some person here against the Fo reign Enlistment Bill was not thought of when the Czar applied to his old friends the Dutch capi talists for &supply of cash in the form of a loan, to enable him to meet the enormous expenses which his obstinacy and his utter indifference to human life I are daily incurring. It is indeed remarkable how very unproductive of argument a question of per (tentage generally is. Here was assistance rendered ' to England's enemy, and rendered to Russia with the well-known object of enabling her to contend more effectually with England. Did this Dutch loan, connived at if not encouraged by the Dutch govern ment, violate the principle of neutrality? And yet this very government would be smitten with political spasms at the bare suggestion of leading a regiment or two of its idle standing army of nearly 60,000 to aid a nation that has times out of number saved Hol land from destruction. First secure your Russian coupons, then think of your English friends!

Mr. T.M.Gluon, the senior member for the city, having been called upon, spoke at considerable length, in the course of his address be observed that remarks bad been made about his hon. friends and himself voting in minorities so ens 'neatly; bat if that was meant as a reflection he might reply, that during the last session he had had at least the satisfaction of voting in minorities on moat important ques tions with the government. la reviewing, according le custom, at these meetings, the measures of the put esselec, the right bon. gentleman said it must be admitted thee It had been an abortive session. Welt promises were bald est by the government, but through the war and from other souse most of the great measures introduced into paella met had been defeated. The Reform Bill, he thought, was wisely abandoned, but the Bribery Bill was one which might not to have come to so impotent and lame a conclusion it had ended in. The Queen's speech had said the experience of the past had rendered it necessary to take steps for preventing bribery and corruption, and therefore, as no one could tell how soon a general election would take place, it was at least necessary to have passed that measure to have preveired the renewal of those scenes of corruption that were so much deplored. The bill had been carefully prepared by a committee, but the first parts of it had bees struck out and emasculated. As the matter ended, the bill was only passed for one year, during which it might have been foreseen there was little probability of a general eke. Lion occurring; and, therefore, it could only apply to a few isolated cases. Bat he (Mr. Gibson) had no great confiding* in any preventive legislation in reference to stopping lath midati4n and, bribery at elections; there was bat one re medy, and that was what mast come at last—the vote by ballot. (Chem.) There was another measure of an im portant character which bad fallen through—the emend. potion of the Jews. London still had but three repro seutatives. Contrary to the advice of many leadiag members el the liberal party, and of able lawyers, preceding govern ments had attempted measures of legislation rat►er than let the house proceed by itself, sad they had brought in bills which, h.d passed the Commons, but were rijected by the House of Lords ; but they had at last ►ucceeded in bringing in a bill which bad been rejected by the Commons. (Hear. hear.) The cause of the Jews had been mismanaged from the beginning, and in the last attempt to settle it they brought down upon the Jew opposition from new quarters. by bringing into the same bill the question of the oath of supremacy; and notwith•tanding all the eloquent declare: tions of the country about religious liberty, we still laboured under the stigma of a portion of our countrymen being deprived of their civil rights on account of their religious rpinious.

The government had pledged a numerous audience, presided over by Mr. Chun' Att- themselves to bring in a measure immediately after the wood, who previous to calling on Mr. Crewabay to deliver meeting of parliament, and his advice was to repeal all the his lecture, made a few remarks on the general object and tendency of the discourse about to be delivered. The opt laws that now related to newspapers and pamphlets , and uions of the British people he observed, had bees so widely coact no new ones—postage arrangements being left to be perverted by the pernicious influences which had been settled between the Post-office and the Treasury, who bad brought to bear to form the bends of party, that no intli- full power under existing laws to male such arrangements.

He valved this two fallacies—first, that you could arrange : hoped that these would go towards forming a new peetreo , that particular territories should be governed to be designated the national party—if the word national, , all time by particular ruling &mantes without reference i could be applied to party; and that their ob j ect should be the welters and salvation of England. The lecturer then` to the wishes of peoples; and, secondly, that by sat down said load applanee. , Informing a power like Turkey that; whenever he was in trouble you would come to the rescue, he was relieved free the obligation of strengthening his own kiagdoa► and securing hi► independenee, by the only means that had been found capable of securing these results—a sound ►ystem of policy at home. With regard to the conduct of the war— even if it wee right, which many able statesmen doubted, to make war for the security of Turkey whenever Turkey was in trouble, sad which the Doke of Wellington refused to de In the war between Russia and Turkey in 182 a—it did sot follow that we were to laved' Russia. Denuding Turkey against the Garman' of Russia was one thing, is ceding Russia for some indefinite purpose of humiliation was another. It woe dear that the expedition to the Crimea had been undertaken without any knowledge of the difficulties the armies would have to encounter. Louis Napoleon informed his troops at Boulogne, as soon almost as the impolitic. landed, that Sebastopol had fallen; and some two months ago even so ovations a statesman as the Earl of Aberdeen informed his friends at Aberdeen, that perhaps at this time he was speaking Sebastopol was taken. Whether it was to he taken or not, it was clear that it bad been found • far more formidable undertaking than its projectors an ticipated, and whether taken or not he doubted whether the terms on which pesos was settled would be changed. In the conduct of the war the government deserved credit for haling adopted a more liberal view than ►ad been held in former periods, in reference to the rights of neutrals. He had himself su►mitted a resolution to the House of Commons, previous to the inning of the orders in council, in the spirit of the principles which the government to some extent had since adopted—and whilst respecting the rights of neutrals was a sound principle, and in accordance with the spirit of the age, in com mercial matters, yet he hoped that that wretched and degrading system of plundering small mer chant vessels belonging to the unoffendiag citizens of belli gerent parties would be discontinued, that private proparty in war would be more and more respected ; and he had no sympathy with the cry sometimes raised here—" Why spare Odessa ?" Her Majesty the Queen, in giving orders to the admiral. not to bombard the defenceless towns, and in bombarding Odessa to spare as much as possible private houses and stores—property in which not Russia alone but the world bad an interest, had carried with her the appro. betion of all intelligent and humane men; and we could a have said we Were carrying on a war ,in the in terests of civilisation if we had committed an act only worthy of barbarians, and which would have been execrated by all mankind. (Applause.) For him self, he thought ha was in favour of settling the war on the four points. He saw no moon to doubt the sincerity of Russia, for if we were to go upon the principle that Russia was not to be treated with, it was better not to make proposals at all; and he agreed with Lord Clarendon that a policy of suspicion was neither wise nor generous. The fourth point—with re gard to the revision of the treaty of. 1841 in the interest of the balance of power—was the only one in which a doubt could be entertained of Russia's assent, for they had long ago assented to the principle of the other three points; and as we were informed by Lord John Russell that the pro posal which it would be his duty to make was very mode. rate indeed, he (Mr. Gibson) presumed that the interprets don was one that Rossia would be willing to accept to escape from the enormous evils she had to endure in the inflictions of this war. The force of circumstances must bring about peace upon terms similar to those that are con tained under the four points, and he thought all parties ought to be glad of the opportunity of escaping from their difficulties by this means rather than of prolonging the war to an indefinite time, to end only fa a state of exhaustion, and to be concluded by terms no better than those which might now be obtained. (Ili ar, hear.) Mr. Baton'', attributing the war feeling to the passions rather than the noun of the people of this country, and their extraordinary credulity in the press, which he at tacked in &spirit of great bitterness, especially the Daily News, the Ilisatrakd Nemo, and the religious papers, owned that his party might be in • minority on this ques tion, but cited the experience of the last few years in which the Pope and the French invasion bad played such a conspicuous part, as showing the ephemeral nature of their delusions. It was said it Lord Pelmenton bad bran in power the Czar would not have dared to cross the Pruth ; but he referred to the noble lord's attack on Greece, and his conduct in the affair of Hungary, to show that he was no great friend of ltberty. He read the Queen's letter to Lord Joint Russell at the time Lord Palmerston left the Foreima-office, implying that he had arbitrarily altered and moilitied documents after they bad received the royal sanction, and improperly withheld despatches; and said he had no confidence in a minister who could so treat hi, Sovereign, or so sacrifice all real respect as to re tain office for a swile hour after receiving such a letter. Be said a member of government bad spoken of tie army of Russia as composed of eight hundred thousand men, sad be characterised the government as stark staring mad who could with that knowledge send such an army as we had to the Crimea. Mr. Connate expensed an opinion that negotiations for peace were now going on, and said he had a very great suspicion that the terms of peace were irrevocably passed to Rusin and thin Russia had accepted them—that them terms implied no loss of territory to Itossia ; and, therefore, of course, not the permanent possession of any part of the Crimea—in fact, that the terms were very moderate. lie suspected that the government, having raised the ticvil of War, had not the courage to announce to the public the terms on which they sought to lay him at rest. (Cheers.) These terms were very well known—they must be known, for the diplomatists of Vienna took time enough for the inter pretation of their awn protocol from the tad to the 2dth D cember, but then it must have been fully explained if that were kept back either by this country or France, be cause orders bad been sent out to storm Sebastopol at any cost. If this were done In the interest of a dynasty or a mi nistry, if blood was to be shed in torrents for the °nape ticn of a town, every street of which was barricaded, and every house converted into a fortress, to be delimited by the most determined troops in the world when behind such breastworks, we should hear some day that ' twenty thousand of the allies had been put hors de combat, while Sebastopol was delivered to the license of the soldiery, and every conceivable outrage com mitted within it that could make it a hell on earth; and if they found, from a comparison of dates, that the negotia tions had been protracted In this, then he hoped no ringing of bells, throwing sip caps, or preaching from pulpits would ever for a moment shield a government that had leaf itself for any motives whatever to a deed so dark end indefsn sible. Major General THOMPOOK, afterwards addressed the assetiug. The assemblage cbeered the speakers with an en thusiasm unusual ma at such meetings. IRELAND. DUBLIN, J AN. 19. The Mountgarrett peerage case, involving the right to the title and estates of the Earldom of Mountgarrett, came again before the Court of Ex chequer yesterday in the shape of a motion fora new trial on the part of the Earl of Mounterrett, the defendant in the cause. The arguments in the me, were only commenced.

Last evening a mooting of this association, for the ;Camberwell district, was held at the George and Dragon, liiibpstreet, Mr. NEAT, of the Duke of Clarence, being to the &air. The Onainnam said they were met now because, al tradhauna. they someldered their righta had been infringed. I TU, Weeded to petition for the repeal of the Sunday Beer Bill, and they would oleo try to protect their own interest,, and the interests of their families, against the injury that might ensue if the trade were thrown open, or otherwise inlaid, dealt with. He would not, however, undertake to explain those questioas bimetal, but would sill upon some other parlesea present , who were prepared to speak u p on them. Mr. B. Fannie, the president of the association, them offered a statement of the subjects referred N. He said that, as to the character and effects of that course of legis lation, which bad been recently commenced, and as to that which might be apprehended in future, there could ' not be ninth dispute among the trade themselves ; but he deplored the existence of some differences of opinion u to the best mede of action to be adopted by them in resisting OMB aggressions. It might be true that a certain aleepi sus bad overcome the trade, and that the licensed victual lers were not true to themselves when they allowed such encroachment on their interests ; but still it was in conse quence of the neglect of otbee parties that the emergency had arisen which made it necessary for this Defence Asee ciation to be called into existence. A society did exist which pretended to protect the interests of the trade, and should be watched upon their behalf. That so ciety, however, not only neglected to give the alarm, bat stepped out of the way, and, usurp ing powers which never belonged to it, made a compromise *Lich was disgraceful. He was sorry, too, that the newspaper which should have supported the trade had tacitly yielded their cause. He then commented upon the bill itself, the surreptitious manner in which it was passed, and its emulous effect. He observed that Mr. Wilson Patten had stated at a public meeting that if the new act were found to interfere with the comforts or recreations of the public Le would be against it. That proved that Mr. Patten wee not wedded to his bill, but was a man of commen sense, and the Defence Association Lad sought ea interview with him, in which they hoped to find him open to conviction. Mr. Foster then made some remarks upon the beer-shop system, which had proved an entire failure; and, though in the metropolis the majority were well conducted, and the men who kept them were deserving of respect, there was a sad accumulation of vice in the beer-houses ot the country. He complained of the manner in which the licensed victuallers were assailed by "rabid teetotallers," who had got the ear of most of the disunting congregations throughout the kingdom. lie predicted the failure of any legislation based upon the report of the paliamentary commit tee of last seuion. lie said he could prove a great deal of the evidence therein to be false, and quoted eume passages from it. The Protection Society, he said, instead of going about and frightening the publicans with that blue book, would have done their duty better in pointing out the fal lacy of its statements. He denied particularly some of the things stated by Mr. Timothy Mabor, of Islington, and re ferring to Mr. fdabor's example in having closed his own house on Sunup, he said that he knew the character of the neighbourhood, and he supposed that sums of Mr. Alabilt's school might augment their respectable family trade by their observance of the Sabbath; and he had no objection to Mr. Mabor or any other person acting in accordant* with his own religious feelings, but ob jected to such persons obtaining a legislative restriction to the injury of the many suburban houses, which depended entirely on the Sunday trade for their existence. Mr. Foster also spoke of the hardship inflicted upon exeursiozists, who might return from some distant place at midnight, al often did happen, and be unable to get refreshments. He claimed the total repeal of the bill ; and the Protection Society were doing great mischief, and offering an insult to the trade, which comprised 60,000 persons in Englaad and Wales, if they would accept the compromise of eleven o'clock closing. lie again censured the Morning Advertiser, and declared that its editorial character was not distinguished by the intellect and scholarship which should belong to a respectable journal. Nothing had yet been done to improve it. Did they not see the same dreamy, drowsy articles by Mr. David Urquhart in its pages, and was it not pervaded by thqsame beetariau bias, with the same dearth of literary talent t He might be told that in disparaging the paper he was isjurisg the charities ; but he would much rather pay out of his own pocket two or three guineas a year to sup port the charities, than be compelled to take in such a payer as the Morning Advertiser wt*., and let that journal stand upon its own merits. Ho won't; not refer to the libels with regard to Prince Albert,by which indiscretion the conductors et the paper got into a predicament, that was unworthy of • highstoned public journal. He would say nothing of the impropriety of all that abase which was continually heaped upon the members of her Majesty's government ; but he must say that the licensed victualler', as a body, were damaged to a very great extent by their own paper. After announcing that meetings a ere to be held shortly in the mo-t importent provinci it towns, and especially in those towns which ars frequented by excursionists, Mr. Foster moved a resolution, declaring the Defence Association to be entitled to the cunfideace of the trade. Mr. Coxture, in seconding it, said that he had taken in two copies ot the Alorning Advertiser fur 20 years, and he did not find any fault himself with the manager or editors . , _ . . . of it; but he knew what were the complatot made by his customers, whom be was obliged to please. There was a factory opposite his house, where about eighty Roman ca tholics were employed, and when they came over to get their pint of beer for dinner he did not like their feelings to be insulted by such article. as they read in the Morniug Advertiser. . _ Mr. 1. C. BARIUM, the Secretary, read a letter just re ceived from Mr. Henry Bremner, of Liverpool, describing the action token by the trade iu Lancashire, and expressing their disapprobation of the course proposed by the Lonuon Protection Society. The resolution having been pared unanimously, Mr. HAREM moved a vote of thanks to those newspapers in which the proceedings of the Defence Assuciation had been noticed, and especial y acknowledged the courtesy of the Doily News and tae Globe in allowing space to a letter upon the Sunday Sale of Beer Bid, civilities fur which, he said, therm journals got no advantage in return. lie also commended some of the weekly press, and testified much approval of a leading article in the Gkbe upon this ques.ion, which was read to the meeting by the secretary. The =otitis having been seconded by Mr. lloanow, was agreed to, and alter some general convers►tion the business ended. THE EDG EASTON ROBBERIES. BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY. A meeting of the principal inhabitants of the parish of Edgbaston, convened by circular to which were attached the names of J. W. Wha'ely and Abel Peyton, Erg+. was held at the Plough and Harrow Hotel, yesterday, to take into consideration the insecurity of person and pre petty in the Edgliatiton iii,triet, and the insufficiency of the polite. Mr. WIIATELY having been requested to preside, briefly laid before the meeting the purpose for which it had been called, and 'tidied that the gentlemen present might make whatever suggestions Or y thought advisable. He was not at all disposed to throw hlsm , upon the autroritiet. They had before them the broad Mt that day after day fellows not living in Edgbaston Acre allowed to come into it from Birmingham or airborne, and to find their way back to their homes laden with whatever property they could get hold of, tiiher by violence or otherwise, without • siggle detection taking place. (Hear, hear.) A few years sign, before Caleb wee-street and the neighbourhood of Bt. George's Church were lighted, few persons could go home atter duel/ without running the risk of being attacked and robbed; but now outrages of an iohnitely more daring character were being committed. He lustarced that perpetrated at his own lodge lint • ek, the case of Mr. LIUiP, of the Bristol-road, that of the sons of Mr. Clifford, and other circumstances within the know ledge of gentlemen then present, as showing that the alarm felt by the residents of Edgbaston was well founded. Alderman HODWAY read a list of the robberies committed in the parliti of Edgbaston during December, for the pur pose of showing that things were nut so bad as they were represented ; hut it turned out that one or two of the princi pal outrages were not meutiened in it. After a number of the principal residents had addressed the meeting, the following r. solutions were unanimously passed That it is the opinion of this meeting that there is not a sufficieet police force employed in the district of Edgbaston for the protection of person and property."— " That the chairman he re quested to communicate the above resolution to the Mayor, and request him to lay the same before en early and special meeting of the Town Council, and urge them to increase the police force throughout the borough, and to establish a horse patrol."
