(Hear.) Oar own dramatist had told us that the eye saw not itself bat by reflection frost some other objerst; and expensed, Mowed that ethers who had been coufined to their beds for • short time by illness, were iteapeetiated from judging what had bean the proems of aa insidious draftee till they saw their ghastly courtesan°. in I the gloss (Hear, bear.) He believed that under cover of the 412.11=2 which had passed entreat on 'Change--staxime which were divestou of the smallort atom of morality—mea had 'perforated the most nefarious deeds, without being in the slightest degree sensible either of the falseness of their principles or ol the pernicious consequences resulting to the world from their app:ication. Let them wander the morality of lending money for the destruction of 'mankind, body and soul. H.ppily we know very little pareoually in this country of the hosts of WIT, but we had very recently painful expo• neaps of the honors of the cholera, and of the seam of inse curity and the terror which was felt daring the prevalence of the disease. Now, would any an. on the Stuck Exchange hold that he would be justified in advancing money for the pose of disseminatirg by some expensive proem the seed, of that dreadful disease, and spreading, destruction in other countries, in order to serve the views of Kuala or any other power? Yet in offset this was what they were now Naked to do when they were Calk, upon to subscribe to this loan—for what mattered it whether the destruction wu produced by disease or by th e nuiebi airy of war ? They were ask, el by this loan to assist in keeping up the 'machinery of war is Russia, in order that the ambition of the Czar might be gratified. Now, what was the policy of Rums? Her object was to perpetuate the supremacy of the will of one man over all the ii.habitants of the canary which he presided over, ad the destruction of all the faculties of the mind and body, so tar as was seen, sexy to Haven man from a thinking and reasoning animal into • mere machine to be used foe the purpose of carry ing out the will of the fiercest of despots. (Hew, hear.) Supposing it were argued that the Remian people were unfit for say other than a desp.sie government, still we could not be justified in arsist leg them to extend the despotic principle to Vase countries where the people had shown themselves capable of repre sentative goverment. (Hear.) The narration was then put by the chairman, ad carried with aselamatioa. Mr. J. bTURGE (of Birmingham) mond the next ma Intim, via,: That in tho opinion of this meeting loins for war pur- poses, and for the maintenance of standing annamen , s, are unsound in principle and Wariest to t►e interests of nations." _He said, after what thee had already heard, he would not detain them with any further observation than merely to say that he was so gratified at seeing this meeting announced, that he came with great pleasure from Brian:in= that morning to be peanut at it. (Cheers.) He deeply 'papa. thi-ed with the Hungarians, though he carried his notions of peace so far that he did not eerie with the mods they adopted to assert their freedom. Hs hoped the time would soon come when the people of every country would wider ! stand that it was only by moral mesas that changes by which they could be permanently benefited co u ld be wrought. With these views, and looking at the /Induct of Austria and Ramis, he wished to say ' to those who might inadvertently be drawn into thin loan, that the thrones 01 Russia and Austria were not, in his opini it, worth seven years' purchase. He hoped t eat while they were! dealing with trivetq in foreign countries, they would not forget that wh en was more directly connected with them selves. On the 30th of this month a meeting would be held in that same room, on the subject of the recent atrocious proceedings in Borneo, when he hoped the friends of peace would attend. (Cheers.) Tee Rev. J. BURNETT seeonded the resolution with the greatest pleasure. He could not better commence the few observations he had tome lee, than by saying that he intended to ask them for • loin to Rustic (" Hear," and a laugh.) He did not want them to lend her mosey ; they had heard enough to prevent their doing that; but he wished them to lend the Emperor of Russia their watchfulness and their vigilance. Let them keep their eye on him, and it would do him 1113 ft good, and do Europe more good than all the matey they could lend him. Men like him did not like to be watched. Milton, in tie " Paradise Lost," made Satan my, speaking of the sun, " Sun, how I hate thy rays." So it w e e with all tyrants who desired to play tricks with the tieing and privileges of their fellow-men. They had already taken the &et step in reclaiming the Emperor Nicholas— they had taken the demand for Wood money out of his mouth. He would not advise the people of Ragland to give the Auto. erat their money ; but let them give him their attention, and watch him, until he became the constitutional monarch of a free and represented people. The rev. gentleman con cluded by airdiallyseconding the resolution. Mr. H. RICHARDS, secretary to the society, supported the resolution. lie would ask the Messrs. Barieg whether,' if a man had employed another as au assassin, and then ' came to them to procure for him the means of paying his bribe, they would shake his blood-stained band, or would not they rather stand aghast at hi/audacious intrusion ? And yet the ease of the Russian loan was nearly parallel. The Emperor hired out his bands to Austria, and row he came with a hand reeking with the blood of slaughtered Hun gary, and his face dashed with masted vengeance, and were they, es Englishmen, prepared to give him a welcome ? (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried ma. then Mr. T. GRIFFIN moved the thanks of the meeting to the chairman, and the motion was seconded by Mr. Cooper. Previous to the resolution being put, A PERSON in the body of the meeting remarked that a great many poisons present had galled oat " Bath the Timm" Now he as a practical man, would anggest that • sauce more practical plan would be to withdraw the public patronage Irani that journal. (Hear, hear.) Let every waking man who frequented coffee-houses call for other papers, and the effect would not be long in showing itself. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MI CH ELL (proprietor of the JewisACArossiele) came forward to make • few obis nations, and was received with great cheering. He wished, as • Jew, to express his greet satisfaction that no Jewish capitalist had become *gent for the Russian loan, and his belief that their forbearance was to be attributed to the expression of public opinion which had taken place on the proposal of a loan for Austria. (Chien.) Twenty or thirty thousand • year are being spent is trying to lead the Jew to embrace the Christian religion, bat unless the great principles of christian morality, which were identi cal with those of Jewish morality—" on earth, and goodwill towards men," were out, christiemite would be • " mockery, a dotage's, and a snare." Bach it mast be if claritrian men generally lent their mosey la oppositioa to Christian principles. (Cheers.) In putting to the meeting the vote of thanks to the Chairman, The Rev. J. BURNETT said the Christian and the Jew wen both with them against Nicholas, and if there were a Tark there he would no doubt choose the same side. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, stated that he had ascertained that thews& of meths had gone away unable to obtain sdadwirm. (Cheers.) The meeting film dispersed. ATTACK ON • CHILD BY HIM INSANE GRAND .—A fine interesting girl aged sena years, the sliest daughter of Mr. J. Lockwood, having been left alone in the house with Mr. John Wortley, bur-keeper, her grand father, at Etnittle-Oats, near HolmArth, on Tuesday week, remind such injuries at his hands as to lean no probable hope of her recovery. It appease that Wortley AM for some time put exhibited symptoms of derangement of mind and bad more than once attem pt ed suicide. On the day above motioned, his wife, having occasion to be absent from home for a abort time left Wortley and the grand child in the house together. The presumption is, from all that can be assertained relative to the tragedy, that shortly after his wife's ;departure, the poor desponding wretch again essayed self-destruction, and that being checked by the little girl, as on a former occasion, he determined at cues to silence her. For this purpose (hanag first locked the door) he armed himself with the are poker, and with this weapon he struck the poor an offending girl repeated and savage strokes over the head. This continued until a cart driver, passing by, heard screams, and the sound of heavy blows, which induced him to panes and lutes at the bar house door. Being coavinced that foal work was being enacted he at ono hurried to an adjoining house (the Junction lan), and assistance having been here procured, the doors were promptly burst open. A shocking spectacle presented itself. The old wan, with an Inoue glare, stood brandishing the bloody weapon of his enmity over the now almost lifeless body of his victim. !ladled maistasee, however, was immediately sought and procured ; and up to Friday morning, the poor little mat still lived. Of her ultimata recovery, how. ver. no rea sonable hope can be entertained. Wortley underwent an examination before the magistrates on Wednesday, and emoted to be decidedly inane.—fialifax Guardian.

We had a clergy aumerons, highly paid (more highly paid, perhaps, than any in the world, and a clergy, for whose sole bene fi t aliment the chief educational establishments in the country are maintained)—• clergy scattered over our large towns and rural district, in great numbers, ani who ought to have been important gond., end helps to the people ; we had • commercial elms wealthy be yond measure, living in all the luxury which wealth can give —a class which it was true had not had all the advan tages of education itself which the other two had pos sessed, but who, from their position and pursuits, must necessarily have ileum* possessed of • cul tivation of great mental breadth ; we had • class of religious men highly impressed with the Ides of civilisation, and with the responsibility of spreading Christ ianity abroad, for they have sent missionaries to almost all parts of tha world; we had philanthropists ready to alleviate, and who had done much to alleviate misery and to relieve distreu in every form ; and yet, in spite of all this, and, not withstanding the power which ell these classes had pee sewed separately or collectively to remove it, or to have pre vented it, we had a population living in • state of mental darkness and of ignorance scarcely to be credited. He asked if it was not monstrous that such a state of things should have been allowed so long to continue, and that our legislature itself had cot dose mcre to remove it. The motion was seconded by the BAT. F. W. Waxing, and adopted unanimoualy. J. C. bras, Esq , moved the second resolution " That the progress of the Frineiples of the association during toe pan y ar is highly encouraging, and gives assurance that continued vigorous exertion by the executive committee will, at no distant day, ►e crowned with encores." He had not expeted to be called upon, bat he readily acceded to the wish of the committee to take part in the proceedings, simply to indicate his strong desire to see promoted this important movement for the attainment of general edu cation. Mr. JOHN STOTINS SMITH seconded the resolution, ti• pressing rivet at the Nina inspoliey which preferred to con duct the &teeming of the country upon the punishing rather than the teaching principle.

PROTESTANT DISSENTING DEPUTIES. Yesterday the Annual General Meeting of Protest ant Disowning Deputies was held at the King's Head, Poul.ry ; Jonx REMINGTON MILL, Esq., in the chair. The report for the put year detailed at great length the action taken by the committee with respect to the question of church rates, the India Marriage Bill, the India Property Bill, the Rev. Mr. Shore tad the Ciergy Relief Bill, the Charitable Trusts Bill, the Australian Colonies Bill, the Titles of Congregations (Sootland) Bill, the new Post-ofilos regulations, and the grievances affecting diseenten generally. These grievances the committee ascribed to the connection between church and stab. They recommended the adoptiem of petitions against the Regius Donuts, for the entrance of dissenters to the universities, and tor the removal of those restrictions g fly which premed on them, and of those privileges which were granted to the established church to the great injury of the Cementing body, and which tended to impede the advancer of civil and religious liberty. The report also strongly recommended to dissenters to avail themselves of the franchise, through the instrumentality of the freehold land societies, le a means of promoting civil and religious liberty. Mr. EVANS, in moving the adoption of the report, said a moat important ease reef,: ctiag the church rate question was now pending before the Court of Exchequer Chamber. On ' the decision of that question it depended whether the church wardens of a parish, with the sanction of a minority, could impose a church rate, which had been disapproved of and rejected by the majority. It was impassible to say now that question would be decided ; but whatever it might be, it was desirable that the dimming body should consider what course they would adopt. (Hear, bear.) If it were decided contrary to their views and wishes, he was sure that steps would be immediately Limn to impose a church rate in plays where it was now not even thought of. (Bear, hear.) With respect to the extending of the elective franchise by means of allotments, he considered It deserving of the sup port of the friends of civil and re l . gique freedom ; but they should be careful to 'more: a on the working classes that it was not intended by these alinements to offer them a means of subsistence independently of their flexions in their seve ral callings. He recommended to the deputies and to the dissenters generally more energy than they bad heretofore exhibited. The CHAIRMAN said that the question of church rates had become more iwportant in comae queue' of the first re p.,rt of the commission appointed on the motion of Lord Ash!ty, stating it as their opinion that the district chur c h es should be made district parishes. (Hear, hear.) If they were not on the alert, the amount of shurth rates would pro bably be doubled. Mr. BIDGOOD enforced the necessity of mere energetic action, and rccomm oded that the main work should be done by the general laxly, instead of by a committee. As at pre sent oonwituted the deputies had not the confidence of the general Andy. Mr. EVANS said that he sympathised in the observations of Mr. Didgood, but did not agree that the course proposed by him would infuse new vigour into the body. After a few words from the DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN, the motion was put and adopted. The accounts for the year showed receipts amounting to 3741. lfis. The disbars. ments amounted to 1981 3.. The committee for the neat year were chosen, and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. ADULT DRAT AND DUMB INSTITUTION.

Yesterday morning • fearful fire broke out at Cavershun park 111111114011, about two miles from Reading, the seat of William Cnwsbay, E'q, the great irrnmsater, and chair man of the York and North Midland Railway Company. Before daylight a dense batty of smoke was observed in the house by several of the servants, and they being under the impression that • portion of the building most have taken fire, instantly dispatched messengers to Reading for the engines, thinking by their timely application to avoid any outbreak. By eight o'clock, and before their arrival, the times bunt forth with amazing fury in the second floor of the eastern wing of this extensive maasioa. In a short span of time the entire mansion was in a blase. Several engines from Reading reached the nese of confla gration a little before 9 o'clock, bet it soon became evident that all attempt to save the budding was hopeless. At 10 o'clock the roof fill in with a tremendous wash, and all hope of rescuing any more of the furniture was then at ea end. To Nave the conservatory and stables was now the object of the fire-brigade, and this they succeeded in doing, fur at a late hour yesterday afternoon the fire was prevented extending itself beyond the mansion. At the time of our de spatch being forwarded the fire was still raging, and the damage done by this confinration cannot he computed et less than 10,0001., as in addition to the distraction of the house, some most valuable furniture has been lost. We have not been able to ascertain whether the property is insured. WRECK OP THE HOTTINGUER.

It would be desirable that the acting party in Liverpool foe the ship, Ike , would write to me parities In. structions to take charge of the property. I think, If Wee' they hold moderate, this goods in the lower hold, width am valuable, could be saved by divers ; the lower deck being under water, it will be difficult for the Arklow men to break inv.

INUIT RAILWAYS AND TUN POST-OFFICE.—In the spring of the year 1818 it wilt be remembered that a refer ence took place between the Great Southern-Western Rail way Company (Ireland) and the Post-office, as to the rates which the railway company were to receive for the convey ance of the mails. The arbitrators were, on the part of the railway company, Mr. Wyndham Harding ; on the part of the Post-office, Captain Williams, R.E. ; the umpire being Mr. Hartley, Q.C.; and a strange difference then appeared between the sum offered by the Post-office and that awarded by the umpire: the avenge rate per mile offered by Capt. Williams on the part of the Post-office being only Is. per mile, while the rate awarded by Mr. Hardirg to the rail. way company was 3s. 6d. per mile ; and the rates Really awarded by the umpire were 31. 2d. per mile, thereby vir tually ratifying Mr. Harding's award. It was supposed that both parties would be bound by this ►ward for three years ; but the Pest-office having on a technical point succeeded in re-opening the question, on the extension of the railway to Cork, the matter has been again referred to arbitration, Mr. Wyndham Harding again acting for the company, Capt. Williams for the Post-office, but Mr. Henn, Q.O , being in this ease umpire. The result has again been that a very much larger sum has been awarded to the railway company than the Post•office offered. The offer of the Post-office for the 200 miles (Dublin to Carlow and Cork) over which the mails are conveyed 4 times daily on the railway was, it ap pear', at the rate of 20,0741. per annum; Mr. Harding's ►ward was 61,1001. per annum; the umpire (M.

As the toasting uses limited, by the requisition. to those who had steed the Obmgall address to heritsjeety. sad ea tickets wore set abundantly distributed to othera i nee indeed to say eeaeidsntole extent sought alter, the attendances was far from numerous; perhaps nee more than five or six handred perms being prima. The platform was crowded with members of the endows/3y, and landed gentry ; but the remainder of the room was not by say WNW half Alled, and very few of those present had the appeuenee of belonging to the elms of Wawa fanners. In the weeds of the requisition, the meeting was called "to delibe rate upon the best mode of presenting the address to her Majesty, and to adept petitions to both houses of parlia meat, and vote mush resolutions as may appear expedient for obtaining protection to native Industry, and a n orm of the tresent oppressive system of poor laws." And by the way in which the admission was regulated any risk of ennui or interruption wu avoided. Outside the building there was not the remotest indication of interest in the proe.edings. The followirg noblemen and gentlemen were among thou who occupied the platform, and had places in its immediate vicinity : The Marquises of Westmeath, Downshire, Wear. ford, and Drogheda; Earls Mental!, Roden, Mayo. Shannon, and Betides; Lards Clements, Dummy, Kilmaine, Marina. Naas Castleman", Clanntorm Monk, and Buirelan ' • Mr; Earls, the High Sheriff of t h e county of Dublin ;B. J. Armstrong, D.L. • Hon. St. John Butter, lion . C. Bader Sir Rgtottt L. BloW, Bart, Robert Burn:lvrea, D.L., Sir U. W. Barron, M.P., lion. W. Bernard, Colonel Coattetton, M.P., dr. de. At ' a quarter to twelve o'clock, on the mstion of Lord CAATLBMAINN, seconded by JAME! HANG HAMILTON, M.P., the chair was taken by the Marquis of Dowerewt al. The CHAIRMAN thanked the meeting for the honour conferred upon him in placing him in the high and honour able position of presiding at each an essemblage. Lord OLENOALL then came forward to propose the line resolution, which was as follows : " That we feel entirely persuaded of the regard and effeo. tion entertained by our most gracious Sovereign for all classes other Irish subjects, and that, confiding in her royal sympathy and gcod will, we consider that under the deplot able circumstances in which Ireland is placed, we best dis charge our duty to our Sovereign, as well u to our country, in representing to her Majesty, by our humble petition, the unprecedented misery and distress to which this once prospe rous island has been reduced." Having read the resolution, the noble lord went on to say he was certain it would meet with the full approbation f the meeting, adverting as it did to her Majesty. (Hoar.) They had met there that day to lay before h er M a j es ty in particular the miseries and misfortunes under which Ireland was at present suffering frcm the mischievous policy fostered ley legislation in England. (Hear, hear.) When he looked around him and saw such a meeting as that, s numerously attended by those who represented so great an amount of property in behind, he could not bring himself to believe for a moment that any one who witheseed it could imagine that the battle of protection was lost. (Cheers.) Let them dis abuse their minds of any idea of the kind. Leek at what was passing in England, and their friends there had requested hint to state that the struggle was but commencing. It was bug they had lost their hest battle; but in a great war there were many campaigns to be fought, and many battles in mach campaign. Therefore, though they were defeated is the first instance, yet, by a determined struggle, they might yet achieve a glorious triumph. (Hear, hear.) One of the most awful symptoms of the times which be perceived, was the emigration cf the tenant farmers. The tenant farmers under this system of poor law and free trade, could not stand ; they were the bone and sinew of the country, and, unfortunately, to save the little remaining capital they had, they were fast emigrating to America. Everybody knew that, as regarded the agricultu rists, it was impossible the present state of things could con tinue, without all connected with that interest being drogged into a sortie of ruir. (Hear, hear.) But they were told that this was a landlord question—most undoutoedly it was; but it was also a tenant farmers' question—it was a merchants' question—it was • shopkeepers' question—it was • colonial question ; and he would tell them what it was also, it was • mechanics' question, • labourers' question. an Irish gees tion. (Loud cheers.) It was also a question of vital importance to every man who had two arms, and who desired to live by his honest industry. (Hoar, hear.) They were the parties to whom this question applied ; as to the landlords and tenants, they were two parties who rowed in the same boat ; and the only difference he could see in their respective positions was this, that when the waves or breakers of free trade capsized the boat, the first to go to the bottom ' was the unfortunate tenant farmer, though the landlord should eventually fallow him. (Hear, hear ) The Irish merchant was doing no business at all; the clerks in his counting-house wire idle; he could get no market ter agri cultural produce in England on account of the deluge of French flour that came into market. Then we come to con : eider the position of the next class, the mechaeles. The mechanics in the country towns and all around the country had no employment. Why? Because those who, is point of feet, found the money to afford employment—timely, the landowners wed the merchants, declined giving orders to the master tradesmen. They were all in On tame boat. Let them next consider the position of the labourer, and' this was the most serious part of the question. The labourer, whle this system of free trade policy ' lasted, was in the mist awful and melancholy situation—a • situation horrible to contemplete. Neither the teneet far mer nor the landowner had the means of employing this labourer; the land occupier was putting all the hied into grass, and the consequence was that no employment could be atlorefed the labourer. The whole of the labouring lion roamed idly about the country. (Hear, hear.) There was no chance of amploymcat, for every person woe conscious that growing farms afforded few people employment. (Hear.) What was to become of those men ? Were they to be left as paupers for ever on the land, or were they to be supported for ever by poor rates ? (Hiar, hear.) They must be sup ported by the poor rates or they must die ; and, as a matter of course, the censequecce weu'el be that the whcie property of Ireland "ould be sacrificed to support an unemployed populatisn. That was a state of things which it was impossible could last, and when these Leis became known in England, parliament would be compelled to adopt remedial =mauve. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") But they were told that anti free trade cry and protection movemeal was purely a question of high rents Ly the landlords. The truth of the matter, on the subject of high rents, had been well explained by Lord Bosse—a nobleman of whom Ire land had good reason to be proud. What did Rora R. us say ? Why, that he knew England well; and that he was thoroughly satisfied that, in proportion, the rents paid in Engler d were a great deal higher than those demanded in Ireland. (" Hear," and laughter.) Why had the Irish landlords been abused, and a set made at them ? Be cause they were • class of men who were loyal to the back bone. (Hear. hear.) Because they were devoted to the crown, and to the British constitution. Nor these reasons they had been subjected to the urea Ins and cajolery of sordid demagogues; but as they could Oct neces sarily cajole by their disloyalty, they determined to destroy the landed interest, whenever that interest would not bow down to the brazes serpent whom the ungodly had set up. (Hear, hear.) Until the appearance of the famiae— indeed, until three years agc, the Irish peoi is were in the habit of importing from England annually eleven millions worth of English produce. (Bear.) There was no en Tgera tion is this statement, for he spoke from government relay:lee Since the free trade policy, and the oppressive ,system of poor laws which ruined the country, they had not imported more than four millions a year. (bleat.) That evidently WAS W loss to Messrs. Cobden and Co. of seven millions a year, and such was the condition of the Irish home market. (Hear.) The declaration of the President of the United States must be particularly gratifying to all who had the native industry of every country at heart; and he thought that in some re spects it ought to meet with the approval of the leaders of the tree trade policy, because the declaration of the President of the United States was plain, simple, and utterly " under stood"—there never was so plain, so hinfst, and so des aided a declaration. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Ifs was afraid that the free trade policy of Fug laud had pro duced an unfavourable impression upon to: cigaers ; tor in stead of England being the light to guide all nations., she was now the laughing stock of the world. (Hear, hear.) Before he concluded, he should not forget tad he had a crow to pluck with England. The Irish people had been grossly maligned by a section ,of some parties in that country. Those parties should recolleco before they went use with their abuse, why it was that Ireland had beat of late • millstone round the neck of England. Let them remember how the legielators of England had acted towards Ireland fries the year 1650, down to the year 1791 (a Prised of 130 years), prohibiting every specie. of Irish erudita end of lent manntacteze from entering into England—ruining and destroying our age:culture and mecureu.tures—(and most eff.c.ually they bad done the letter)—.enrog us the smallest trot's with the colonies, and in fact treating Ireland as a conquered country. (Hear, hear.) Was it any wonder, then, that altar having destroyed the energies and industry of Ireland during that period, this country was s et so prosperous es England i The only thing which surprised him (Led °Logan) was, that we had been enabled so far to weather the storm at all. True it wee that in 1782 the voice of Ireland was too strong for En elando and then we gained something like justice, soniettirg like trade, and were dealt with as mortals end as Christiana. (Hear.) Let them read the history of Ireland—let them read the statute-book, and they would find sixty or seventy of those prohibitory statutes clamed between the years he had mentioned. (Hear.) In the present state o' parties in England, he should like to know what minister could stand 100 Irish member pulling together? Let them be united an! firm, and they words' make themselves heard and re spected in England. (Hear, hear.) It they were evicted, their oppre aeon would soon learn that they could trample upon them no longer,. that if they did not redress their ' grievances they would redress themselves—(ehmn)—in ' word, that they, es their forefation did in that ramose yeas, said he would recommend them (their oppressors) to begin a new system of policy as regarded this country—that the words " too late " were ominous words in these times. I Ho reminded theist that it might occur that the people of 'lreland would tell them that their concessions came too Mr. OROROK MACARTNEY, L., seconded the rdsoe latioo.
