The Frankfort Journal of the Bth inst. publishes the following despatch, which was forwarded on the 28th of February last by the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs to Count Apponyi, the Austrian Minister at London:— "Lord A. Loftus has confidentially read to me a despatch in which Lord Malmesbury states that the British Government cannot, to its great regret, regard as dispelling the fears of war spread since the commencement of the year, and that he conse quently feels himself obliged not to relax his efforts to prevent a conflagration which certainly would not remain limited to Italy. "The circular despatch addressed by Count Cavour to the Sardinian missions on the subject of the loan which the Piedmontese Government wishes to contract, with a view to military preparations, offers, according to the opinion of Lord Malmes bury, a favourable opportuntty to renew friendly counsels to both parties. . . "The British Cabinet, without adopting the grounds of that circular, which tend to justify the loan on account of the threatening attitude Austria is said to have assumed on the Piedmontese fron tier, seems to attach importance to ascertain the view we take of that document, and to acquire the conviction that we have no intention of attacking Sardinia ; and that, on the contrary, we should feel inclined to give our hand to the Piedmontese Government, so as to allow both parties to with draw their troops from the respective frontiers. " We are fully able to appreciate these friendly overtures, and we willingly unite ourselves with the British Government in its endeavours to spare the world, if it be possible, the horrors of a general conflagration. We are glad, therefore, to have the opportunity of entering into the subject at length, and we hope to make our pacific intentions per fectly clear. " What are the complaints brought against us in Count Cavour's circular ? They are to be found in the protests issued by that Minister against the preponderating influence, which, according to him, Austria exercises in Italy beyond the limits which treaties have assigned her, and which constitute a permanent menace against Sardinia. " Let us examine closer this strange accusation. I may be wrong, but I believe it to be in, the nature of things that great political bodies will always be called upon to exercise a certain influence on neigh bouring States. What is important to the general interests is that such influence should never be usurped or abused to the detriment of the inde pendence of another State, "Austria has more than once been in a position to offer a helping hand to the Italian Govern ments overthrown by a revolution. That assist ance has never been forced upOn any one ; on the contrary, it has only been accorded at the request of legitimate authority, and with the dis interested view of maintaining public order and tranquillity: Our troops have always been with drawn as soon as the legitimate authority has been re-established with sufficient firmness to enable it to dispense with their assistance. Count Cavour need not go far back in the history of his country to find an example of services like these rendered by Austria to the dynasty of Savoy. At that time, it is true, the modern theories of public right which Count Cavour has introduced had not yet taken root in Piedmont. "We will not stop to examine in detail the ab surd reproach that has been urged against us as to the confidence which it is safe for our neighbours to feel in the integrity of our intentions ; and what has been added with regard to the treaties which exist between ourselves and certain Italian States does not appear to us to be worthy of any more serious consideration. "What can there be to find fault with in, or what can be more unavailable on the score of popular right, or more conducive to the general interests of order and peace, than the existence of treaties between independent States exclusively in the interest of legitimate defence, imposing reci procal obligations on both the contracting Powers, and not influencing in the slightest degree the rights of any third Power ? But, although these treaties are not in any way opposed to the prin ciple of public right, we can well understand that they are of a nature most obstructive to the ambitious views of a Government which, not con tent with being absolute within its own dominions, endeavours to assume the character of the privileged organ of the pretended sorrows of Italy, and arro gates to itself the right, disavowed by every other Italian Government, of speaking in the name of the whole Peninsula. Although Count Cavour admits the right of appealing to foreign aid when that aid is invoked in the interest of discord, he denies it to legitimate Governments which really have a mis sion to watch over public tranquillity and guard the interests of their peaceable subjects ; and these straßge principles are proclaimed by the Cabinet of Turin at a moment when relying for support in its aggressive designs on a great neighbouring Power. " These contradictions are too self-evident to allow the slightest doubt to obtain that the complaints of the abuse of Austria's influence are but vain and empty pretexts. What may be true in these de clamations is this :—ln 1848 the King of Sardinia invaded Lombardy without a declaration of war, and without being able to justify that rupture of peace except on the grounds of the national senti ment, which urged him to come to the aid of his oppressed brethren. The unjust aggressor was re pulsed in two victorious campaigns. Austria took advantage of the fruits of her victory with a mode ration which Europe has rendered justice to. Peace once signed, we took it for granted. On the other hand, a third attempt never l e ft th e p rogra mme of the Turin Cabinet. While awaiting a favourable moment to invade us again, Piedmont kept up an underhand war against us by allowing free vent to calumny and insult in a licentious press, which made appeals to revolt addressed to the populations of other Italian States, and by hostile demonstra tions of every description. " When; only two years after he had ascended the throne, our august master, the Emperor, visited his Italian dominions, marking his way by acts of grace and benevolence, the Piedniontese press re doubled the fury of its attacks, and in its madness even offered a defence of regicide. It was then that we asked of the Turin Government the simple question, what guarantees it could offer us against the continuation of a state of things so destructive to the good feeling which we wished to subsist be tween the two Governments ; and it is this moderate language which Count Cavour speaks of as an attempt on our part to force upon his Government a modification of the institutions of his country. The Emperor's Chargé d'Affaires was recalled from Turin that he might no longer be an ocular witness of an abnormal state of things which the Piedmontese Government declined to remedy. But this suspension of diplomatic relations (lid not pre vent us from continuing, as before, to concert such mea sures with the Picdmontese Government as were of a nature to favour and develope intercourse and commercial relations—in a word, friendly rela tions between the two countries. " Despite these good intentions and constant moderation, despite our inexhaustible patience, fanatical cries of war were shouted across the Tessin, especially since the commencement of the present year. "In consequence of the agitation produced by the warlike tone of the Royal Speech on the opening of the Piedmontese Parliament —an agitation which the subsequent Ministerial explanations were certainly not calculated to allay—the Imperial Government decided upon sending reinforcements into the Lombaydo•Venetian kingdom. This mea sure, dictated by the most common prudence, was one of a purely defensive nature. The assertion of Count Cavour that it was a hostil e movement directed against Sardinia has as little foundation as his other assertion that the garrisons of Bologna and Ancona had been reinforced. " This is, in a few words, the present position of affairs. In all honour we ask what can we do to improve it ? Would it be possible to carry mo deration and forbearance further than we have done ? And Powers such as Great Britain, who strive for peace so anxiously and so honourably, will they not feel themselves called upon to stop the source of the evil by bringing Piedmont to a more sane appreciation of her rights and interna tional duties ? Let their united efforts prevent the Cabinet of Turin from continuing its aggressive conduct in which it has for some years persisted, abusing the good nature of Europe, and, we do not doubt it, the result would be tranquillity and peace in the rest of the peninsula, now banished by the continual irritation caused by the Cabinet of Turin. " Let us at once anticipate an objection which we foresee. The discontent of a portion of the popula tions, especially in Central and Southern Italy, has, we shall be told, its principal source in the mal administration of the Governments. " While denying the thousand calumnies by which attempts are made to excite public opinion against those Governments, we do not mean to say that everything is perfect in the organisation and administrative system of those countries. Even where the institutions are most excellent, we must allow a wide margin for the imperfect manner in which they ale carried out. The most different systems have been practised in turn. In con sequence of the introduction of institutions which operate admirably where they have been deve loped and matured by centuries, but which do not seem to be homogeneous to the mind, traditions, and social condition of the Italians, the most deplor able scenes of anarchy and disorder have occur red in the Italian peninsula. It was not the coun sels of Austria which led to those sad pages of the modern history of Italy. On the other band, we have always frankly applauded every marked im provement in a practical point of view ; we have always welcomed with oafisfy ction, and favoured to the most of our influence, every well-mea n t pro gress. When consulted wehar Te given our opinion conscientiously, after a mature examination of the circumstances. " Those measures may not always have produced all the good which might have been expected from them. But who dare throw the whole responsibi lity upon the acts of the Government ? It is an established truth that in the present day every Government, great or small, has great di ffi culties to contend against. We have shown above that liberty, as understood in Piedmont—a liberty which borders upon licentiousness and a total disregard of the rights of othe rs —i s no t w i t h out seriousincon veniences for the neighbouring States. We do not the less admit that Piedmont is the best judge of what system of government is best suited to her. But, however much we may respect its indepen dence, we should not think ourselves justified in imposing on other Italian St a t es a system o f go vernment or pointing out the proper moment for introducing improvements of which that system might be susceptible. " However this may be, the great argument brought forward against the Papal Government is, that it is unable to support itself, and is obliged to rely on foreign assistance. To this we reply that the Cabinet of the Vatican has already entered into negotiations with both Austria and France with a view to the evacuation of the Papal States by the troops of their countries, and the gradual regenera- j tion of the Pontifical army. " By giving armed support to the Sovereign Pon tiff, driven away by the revolution, Austria and France rendered a great service to the interests of social order. The temporal sovereignty of the Holy Father is one of the guarantees of the free exercise of his apostolic mission, and of the independence of the spiritual head of the Catholic Churoh. But when the Pontifical Government shall declare that the reorganisation of its army has made sufficient progress to suffice for the wants of order and inter nal safety, the Emperor, our august master, will be happy to he able to reclll his troops, because he will see in this result a new pledge of the paternal solicitude which the Holy Father will devote to the successive improvement of other branches of ie public service. " Let us, however, not overlook that the difficul ties which the Pontifical Government will meet with in the accomplishment of its task arise far less from internal causes than from revolutionary de ments, influences, and excitements from abroad. To entertain a hope for a prompt and happy result in this quarter, nothing is so indispensable, t repeat it, as to make Piedmont respect the independence of other Italian States, as its own independence is respected by them and by us within the limits pre scribed by treaties. " It will only be when this result has been ob tained that the Pontifical Government and the other Italian Governments can seriously occupy themselves with reforms in their internal admim- stration. And then the friendly advice of Austria, who is more interested than any other Power in the welfare and prosperity of the Italian Peninsula, shall not be found wanting in the right direction. " I charge your Excellency to submit these con siderations to the enlightened appreciation of the British Cabinet. We feel too much the immense responsibility which in the eyes of God and man will weigh upon those who, - without legitimate cause, should disturb the peace of Europe not to attach the highest importance that a friend and ally like the Government of Great Britain should be fully made aware of our pacific intentions. " Austria does not entertain any hostile project against Piedmont. She will abstain, despite the just grievances she might advance in justification, from any aggressive action, so long as, on its part, the Sardinian Government respects the inviolability of the Imperial territory and that of its allies. " Your Excellency is authorised to assure Lord Malmesbury that the Emperor, our august master, will not unsheath the sword except in the defence of his indisputable rights, and for the maintenance of treaties which, like the British Government. we consider the only safe guarantee of public order. " You will please, M. le Comte, to read thi s de spatch to Lord Malmesbury, and leave him a copy should he wish for one." (From the Times.) Austria is the empire of legality, the native land of divine right and international etiquette. The Holy Roman Empire took the lead in founding the public law of Europe, and it still stands by its prin ciples as if revolutions and reactions were unknown in the world. An Austrian statesman is like one of our hard-headed English lawyers, nourished on digests and reports, who cares nothing for first principles or analogy, or the eternal fitness of things, but looks to positive enactments and deci sions as the only ground for a correct judgment. In the eyes of such a man we are free from arbi trary imprisonment, not because personal liberty is an inherant right of man, but because a certain charter still unrepealed was granted in the reign of King John, and a well-known Act of Parliament was passed in the reign of Charles 11. This method of viewing public and private rights is perhaps more philosophical, after, all, than the cloudy a priori mode of the metaphysidal school, and it enables an ordinary man to write a State paper which a genius would find it difficult to answer. When a Power stands on the defensive, and shows that it has violated no, treaty ; that it has never moved a soldier across its frontiers, except at the desire of legitimate authority ; that it is ready to withdraw from any territory it occu pies at the request of the Sovereign of that terri tory, and that it will gladly give ita best advice on administrative reforms when it shall be consulted by the ruler who contemplates making them, the result is a provokingly logical and argumentative despatch, not to be dealt with b y commonp l aces about nationality and the duty of trampling on op pressive treaties. The Minister of Foreign Affairs at Vienna has addressed such a despatch to Count Appony, Austrian Minister in London, and we publish a translation of it elsewhere. It is in answer to the Sardinian circular, which justified the contracting of a loan on the grounds that Austria had concentrated a large force in Lom bardy, and seemed to threaten a march on Turin. Count Buol, after acknowledging the friendly intentions of the British Government, enters into an explanation of Austrian policy past and present. The first ground of complaint which M. de Cavour puts forth is, says the despatch, that Austria exer cises a preponderating influence in Italy beyond the limits which treaties have assigned her, and that this constitutes a standing menace against Sardinia. This charge, says the Austrian, is without founda tion. It is certainly in the nature of things that great empires should exercise a certain influence on the neighbouring States. All that the world may fairly demand is that this influence shall never be usurped, and that it shall not be employed to the detriment of another State's independence. Austria has indeed given assistance to legitimate Governments overthrown by revolution, but this assistance has never been imposed on any one; it has only been accorded to rightful authorities, and with complete disinterestedness, for the sake of order and public tranquillity. The Count de Cavour has not got back far into the history of his country to meet with an example of this kind of service rendered by Austria to the dynasty of Savoy. At this epoch, it is " true, the modern theories of public right brought into fashion by the Count de Cavour had not as yet taken root in Piedmont." This sally is, of course, intended as a blow to the vanity of Victor Emmanuel, who has placed himself under the protection of the Sovereign whose uncle de prived the House of Savoy of dominions which Austria bore a great part in restoring ; and it cer tainly is not out of place for Austria to recall atten tion to the struggles she has carried on with France for the national existence of Italy. The Royal Houses, at least, of that country have every cause to be grateful to the Power which has shed its blood for them in so many wars, while the people may reflect that they are not worse off than they would have been under a French Viceroy. But Count Buol does not dwell on this part of the sub ject. He stands on the strict letter of international - law, and declares that Austria has a right to con clude treaties with foreign sovereigns so long as they do not threaten any third Power. What is there, he says, more inoffensive, more unassailable, more in conformity with the general interest, than treaties of alliance concluded between independent States, and imposing reciprocal obligations on the contracting parties 'without in the least affecting the rights of other Powers ? It is possible, indeed, that " they . may hamper the action and the ambitious views of a Government which, not con tent with full authority at home, assumes to be the privileged organ of the pretended grievances of Italy, and claims a mission, loudly disavowed by the other Italian Sovereigns, to speak in the name of the whole Peninsula." The despatch then goes on to detail the misdeeds of Sardinia—how, when Francis Joseph visited Milan, bent on conciliation, the Piedmoutese journals stirred up the people against him ; how the Sd dinians have for ten years never,concealed.:their determihation to have a third campaign to•recover the laurels lost in the former two; and how, so far from Austria threatening the Sardinian frontier, her troops had only been sent into Italy when the Royal Speech of Victor Em manuel announced in no vague terms that hostili ties were at hand. As to the Governments of Central and Southern Italy, and the discontent of their subjects, the Austrian Cabinet does not affect to say that all is perfect and change uncalled for; but it asserts that the best institutions sometimes suffer from the imperfection of the instruments. By the in abate something of its high pretensions. troduction of institutions "which work admirably where they have been developed and ripened by ages, but which do not seem suited to the genius, the traditions, or the social conditions of the Italians, there has been witnessed in the Peninsula a succession of disorderly scenes and of bloody anarchy." Austria has always tried to check these, though with scrupulous respect for foreign rights. This system she will still uphold ; she will not enforce on any Intalian Sovereign a form of government which he opposes, nor declare that the moment has come for reforms in any existing Administration. As the Pope is negotiating for the evacuation of his do minions by foreign troops, Austria will retire when the Holy Father declares he is strong enough to govern without assistance; but the Viennese Cabi• net is of opinion that the difficulties of his Govern ment arise much less from internal discontent than from the excitement which is kept up by foreign—. that is, Sardinian influence. Such is this important State paper; thoroughly Austrian—ably reasoned in a diplomatic point of view, and indicating a fixed determination to defend positive and guaranteed rights. Austria breaks no law; she acts strictly according to treaties; who, then, can cast a stone at her Yet we trust, for the sake of Europe, that this document represents rather the abstract principles on which Francis Joseph takes his stand than the spirit in which he will meet proposals for a peaceful settle ment. The Austrian Government is not unnaturally provoked by the attacks of Sardinia and the Bona partist plot which has been hatching for the last two years. The King of Sardinia and Count Cavour are, however, the principal objects of its aversion, and the taunts and invectives against these personaes which fill Count Buol's despat c h sadly take away from its dignity. The Emperor of Austria ought to perceive that this is a great European question, and that his rivals, how ever culpable their schemes, only take advan tage of a national agitation which it is pedantry to ignore. The despatch we are considering was certainly in answer to Count Cavour's circular, and therefore may be excused for dwelling exclusively on the disputes with Sardinia. But every . one must see that these are pett,l; jealousies in comparison with the , great and mo mentous breach with France. It is with France that Austria and the mediating powers will Lave to settle the question ; and we may tell the A - JF trian statesmen that they have had a narrow escap e . If Napoleon 111. had executed the scheme of afwgres sion which he had recently cherished some two years since, he might have had English opinion with him, and even Germany would have b een slow to move in a quarrel not her own. It is only the conviction brought home to us by recent events, that Europe must, regardless of all else, check any scheme of French domination, which has made every nation, and every party in every nation, the ally of Austria. The reprobation of the war is too general and too 'strong to be trifled with, and it is probable that Austria is saved from a terrible conflict. The least that we can demand in return is, that the Emperor Francis Joseph should use his great influence to improve the condition of Italy. It is mere evasion to speak of the impropriety of interfering with another potentate's sovereign rights. One word of remon strance to the King of Naples, or the Grand Duke of Tuscany, or even to the Pope himself, would cause the respective fabrics of maladministration to crumble and make way for better things. Un less this be done, we have no hope for the futui e Even now France could force Austria to assume the offensive by giving the signal for an outbreak in Florence or some ; and it, is not impossible that some such trick may even now baffle those who are labouring for peace. .France and Sardinia would have some defence before Europe it' they took up arms only to repel Austrian interference in an Italian State. This fact shows the permanent danger arising from the bad Governments 'of the Peninsula, and should teach the Court of Vienna to THE GOVERNMENT _REFORM BILL. GREAT MEETING IN THE CITY. [The following appeared in a portion of our impression of yesterday] : A public meeting of the citizens of London was held this day, at two o'clock, in the Guildhall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Re form Bill introduced into Parliament by her Ma jesty's Government. Long before tho hour fixed for the commence ment of the meeting the hall was densely crowded. Mr. Ernest Joites was amongst the crowd, appa rently not buying been able to procure a ticket for admission to the platform ; there appeared also to be a good sprinkling of "non-electors" present in obedience to the circular issued by Mr. Jones for them to attend and support him in his endeavours to advocate their interest. Two o'clock was the hour fixed; at which hour the Lord Mayor entered the hall, and took the chair, accompanied by Sir J. Duke, M.P., Mr. Crawford, M.P., Baron Rothschild, M.P., Mr. 1). W. Harvey, Mr. Sergeant Parry, Mr. W. Leaf, Mr. Ingram Travers, Mr. Hall, Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr. Cox, M.P., Mr. Briscoe, M.P., and about 100 other gentlemen of influence. Lord J. Russell was not present. The LORD MAYOR, in opening the proceedings said the present meeting had been convened in con sequence of a requisition signed by upwards of 900 gentlemen. He trusted the meeting would give a patient hearing to each speaker. Mr. SAMUEL MORLEY, on coiling forward, said he regretted that, owing to the absence of gentle men who generally took a prominent part in politics, he had been called upon to move the first resolu tion, which was as follows : " That the Reform Bill submitted by the Government to the House of Commons is unworthy of the acceptance of the citizens of London, as a settlement of the claims of the country to a just and comprehensive measure of re form, inasmuch as it disfranchises those electors who now possess county votes in respect of property situate in boroughs, and enables the proprietors of freeholds within boroughs to vote without requiring their personal presence at the polling place, or their residence in the borough ; and because it does not provide the protection of the ballot for the electors—does not extinguish any of the small and cor rupt boroughs—does not assign any increase in the number of their representati% es to those leading boroughs in the metropolis, and throughout the country, which are now so inadequately represented ; and lastly, because it does not confer votes upon those large portions of the working classes who have shown themselves fully competent to exercise the franchise. This meeting, therefore, is of opinion that the bill ought to be rejected on its second reading.". The bill he looked upon as a complete failure. It in reality settled nothing. The glaring inequalities of the present system were lett untouched. The Tower Hamlets, with its 25,000 electors, would still remain only equal to Thetford, Arundel, and Caine, which would still return three aristocratic nomi nees. (Cheers and hisses.) There were a number of fanciful franchises erected, but they would be utterly worthless. The ballot was ignored, and in its stead a system of voting papers was sub stituted. Such a circumstance of itself was enough to justify the rejection of the bill. He regretted the absence of many gentlemen who ought to have attended, because it showed there was not that unanimity which it was so desirable should exist. He called upon the meeting to agree to the resolution, and thus show that they were determined to have a complete and thoroughly effi cient measure. (Loud cheers.) Mr. P. A. TAYLOR said he had gre at pleasure in seconding the resolution. He thought the bill was a sham and a delusion, and that the sooner it was got rid of the better. The had heard a great deal about different reform bil ls, b u t the bill that would meet with the acceptance f the country was that which would confer the greatest amount of freedom on the electors. Lord John Russell had a bill, but without it was a large and comprehen sive measure it would be rejected. The country would never submit to the leadership of any person who entertained narrow and confined ideas on the subject of reform. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR was then about to put the resolution when Mr. Ernest Jones advanced in front of the platform and asked permission tospeak before he did so. This was a signal for the com mencement of a tremendous uproar. The Lord Mayor said he would take the sense of the meeting as to Mr. Jones being heard. A scene of great confusion ensued, during which time Mr. Jones made his way to the platform, but he very shortly after quitted the hall without addressing the meeting amidst loud cries of "Smithfield, Smithfield." For some time it was impossible to restore order, but, upon its being done, the Lord Mayor put the resolution and declared it carried unanimously. Mr. Sergeant PARRY then came'forward to move the second resolution, which was to the effect that a petition to Parliament be drawn up, founded on the foregoing resolution, and forwarded to Lord John Russell for presentation, and that the other members be requested to support it. The learned gentleman denounced the Government bill as a sham and a delusion; and as one that ought to be scouted by every honest and sincere reformer in the coun try. Its provisions curtailed the franchise instead of extending it, and the working man was left in a worse position than he was before. He thought that as the working classes were the producers of the national wealth they ought to have a voice in the national representation, and that no Reform Bill should be accepted which excluded them from their just rights. (Loud cheers.) W. LEAF, Esq., briefly seconded the resolution. The LORD MAYOR put the resolution to the meeting and it was carried. His lordship said Baron Rothschild, Sir J. Duke, and Mr. Crawford were present, but Lord John Russell had sent a letter of apology. (Hisses.) The letter of his lordship was as follows : " Chesharn-place, March 9, 1859. " Sir,—ln answer to your letter respecting a public meeting of the citizens of London on Friday next, I beg to state' that as we are within ten days of the discussion on the, Government Reform Bill in Parliament, I think it will be best that I should reserve the expression of my opinions for the House of Commons. lam glad, however, that my con stituents are going to meet to express their own views. It is my conviction that if the bill were to pass in its present shape the disfranchisement of the freeholders, where property is situate in the boroughs, would deprive the counties of their most liberal element, and would enable landholders to revive in small boroughs all the evils which prevailed before 1832. " The proposal of voting by written papers would facili tate transactions the most dangerous to the independence of such boroughs. " The refusal to extend the franchise to the industrious classes in towns is another invidious and noxious quality of this bill.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed)f " J. RUSSELL. " S.: Morley, Esq.' Sir J. DUKE said his political views were well known. He had always supported the ballot, tt e abolition of Church-rateti, and other liberal m ?a sures—(eheers)—and. he thought the Government Reform Bill ought not to be allowed to be re: d a' second time. (Cheers, and cries of " Mantle, Mantle.") He had great pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to his lordship, who had come forward at some inconvenience to preside at the meeting (Cheers, hisses, a ml cries of " Mantle, Mantle.") Baron ROTIIF,CHILD came forward to second the motion, but tb a meeting refused to hear him. The lion. 'member stood some time, but seeing that all attempts to address the meeting were hope.. less, I . oth-di • upon which a man named Bradlough e ndeavGu'L•ed to make himself heard above the tumult that prevailed. Cries of " Forward, forward," arose . from all parts of the hall, and upon the speaker attempting to comply with the wish es of his party-, he was unceremoniously seized by one of the City Marshals, who with great vrolence thrust him into one of the adjoining moms. Another tremendous burst of indignation 'followed, amidst which the Lord Mayor dissolved the meeting. Upon Mr. Bradlough making his appearance ou the steps in the hall leading to the Court of Alder men, he was vociferously cheered by the mob re maining_ in the place. .He was proceeding to address the meeting in the usual Hyde park style, when the police made their appearance, a n d marched in single file to the back of the speaker. The crowd ima g ining that some forcible steps to clear the hall were about to be taken, made a hasty retreat, and in a short time quietness again reigned in Guildhall. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.
