personal disadvantages, and cannot but fear that the cause which he has at heart may suffer from the insufficieney of its advocate. In two respects, however, Sir, I do not yield to my abler and more favoured colleagues. As a native of Norfolk, and familiar with many now around me, I am glad and proud that Norwich is not behind other great cem munities of this land in expressing its sympathy with the Hungarians ' and its interest in the welfare of other nations. In the next place I give place to no one in my earnest desire to serve, to the utmost of my ability, the Hungarian cause. In all other re spects I feel and acknowledge my inferiority, and trust to your kind construction and plenary indul gence for the few remarks I may offer in connexion with the resolution just read and moved.—(Cheers.) The Hungarian struggle has now for some months occupied no ordinary share of the thoughts and in terest of the English people. The eyes of Western Europe have beers drawn to its eastern barrier by an attraction only less powerful than that which absorbs all high-principled and reflecting men, where their own rights are invaded, or their own institutions en dangered. Even the opponents of the Hungarian cause, by the space it has occupied in their journals, and by the pains they have taken to wake the worst appear the better reason, have shown that the late movements in Eastern Europe have awakened in them an engrossing and lively interest. Indeed, it is not too much to say, that Englishmen, whether solicitous for the fate of Hun gary, or for the issue of continental affairs in general, have, as it were, instinctively felt that the question debated on the banks of the Theiss and the Danube, bore no distant resemblance to conflicts and contro versies happily settled long ago in this country, and was fraught with most momentous consequence to the future relations of England and Europe gene rally. By our own revolution of 1688, we showed to Europe that England would not succumb to the coliossal monarchy of France. In the Hungarian revolution of 1848, when it was shown it was in- ' tended to make Hungary bow to Austria—when it was seen that a nation accustomed to self govern ment was about to be deprived of it—when a people by the wisdom of their councils, by their armies and their valour in the field, showed themselves to be a fraternal race, could the conquest and degradation of such a people be allowed to be accomplished, and neither aid given them, or our detestation of their oppressors be shown ?—(Cheers.) It has become necessary that the great problem should be solved whether Europa is to become in tyranny and ignorance a portion of central Asia, or whether she shall be allowed unchecked and unopposed to pos sess, enjoy, and expand, the fruits and blessings of civilization.—(Cheers.) These are some few features of the case brought before the meeting in the consi deration of the Hungarian question.—(Hear, hear.) The particular mode in which these circumstances bear on our own political and social state have been well presented and brought before you by the Noble Lord. Sympathy was due to Hungary—it has been shown, and that sympathy is truly legitimate. — (Hear, hear.) This sympathy abundantly proves that England is not, as has been said, a nation of shopkeepers. It shows we hold a great interest that the principles of truth, justice, and honour shall be well preserved and sustained, whether between Sovereign or people.—(Cries of " Hear.") Hungary, like England, possesses a Constitution, and that Constitution is 300 years old. I will go no further back than this, for it sufficiently proves the antiquity and the value of her Constitution, although I could, if necessary, speak of the constitutional his tory of Hungary for two centuries beyond the period mentioned. But the point is the relation of these immunities, and the connexion they have with the House of Hapiburg. During the whole of this first period at least, though with differences existing on the one hand, and the effects of insiduous oppres son on the other, Hungarian liberties have been maintained, enforced, and rendered stable by re peated and fresh guarantees. The Noble Lord has already explained to the meeting that the disregard of these guarantees h a d f orce d the Hungarians to call their councils together, and extend their armies in March, 1848, but before that period, the Government of Hungary was the only form of go vernment in eastern Europe which could assimilate with our own. We ask this evening, whether a nation accustomed to self-government—a nation so deserving of our sympathy, and the sympathy of all other free countries—a nation so deeply alive to the interests of commerce and civilization, shall be allowed to enjoy the blessings which must flow from freedom, or to be destroyed and to perish by the fratricidal hands of one or two selfish despots.—(Cheers.) And by what specious process has Russia contrived to justify her interference ? I will call your attention to the document which preceded Russian intervention. It sets forth that the Emperor of Russia could not allow his subjects—the inhabitants of Poland—to take up arms, or that this insurrection should be allowed to exist so near the confines of his own dominions. What could be more insidious or fallacious than this. Why, of the 200,000 who came into the field, 4,000 only were Poles, gathered from Gallicia and other places, and who had been driven there from their own homes by the tyranny of the very man who denounced them. Of the six generals, hut three were of Polish extraction—Bee, Dembinski, and Vitter.—(Cheers ) This plea to put down the rights of another people, because a few Poles were in arms, is in my opinion more inconsistent, since one-fourth of the Austrian army were foreigners. —(Cheers.) Because a number of officers are foreign to a nation which is said to be in a state of revolt, an 1 it was feared the revolution would spread—was this a reason why the liberties of a neighbouring people should be destroyed ? Yet I admit the fear that the insurrection would extend itself was a just fear, as, considering the outrages of Russia to Poland, this might naturally be expected. But as regards the question of Hungarian freedom, the plea was nugatory, as none of the confines of Hungary touch on Russia immediately. Still the Czar thought that the flame might extend itself. " Coming events"events" might be said to " cast their .shadows before ; " and therefore he would make the attempt to smother it. Conduct and policy such as this, we, as Englishmen, ought to resist. For this purpose we are met here this night. The people, as a body, have no means of expressing their feeling but by such meetings as I now see assembled.—(Cheers.) It is said, the effect of these meetings will not be great. I do not think so, for my opinion is, that cooling from so large and important a city—this meeting expressing the voice and the opinion of so influential a community—will produce an impression, and so help to swell the general voice of England, so that at length it will reach the Foreign-office, and induce the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to oppose with vigour the design and the attack of Rus sia against truth, justice, and the recogni3ei princi ples of international law.—(Cheers.) As regards ourselves, although the cause of the Hungarians is a high and righteous cause, considered on its own par ticular merits, yet as the Noble Lord has well said, s . ththinsquestion is one which closely concern , Europe itself.—(Cries of "Hear, hear.") Wherever liberty is supplanted, there also will other restrictions prevail, and commercial restrictions and hostile tariffs are no where found so numerous as in the Austrian Empire. What is the truth on this point? why, fleet Austria has prohibited commerce under restrictive tariffs, and most particularly English manufactures. The people of Hungary, however, are so desirous to obtain the manufactures of our country, that they effected an entrance for these articles in defiance of the Austrian custom houses, by means of smuggling. Would it be believed that by an evasive commerce of this kind the value of the goods conveyed into the Hungarian kingdom reached nearly a million sterling ? Such, however, is the fact, and therefore reflect how exten sive might be the market for our manufactures if the restrictive laws of the Austrian custom-houses and tariffs in Hungary did not exist.—(Hear, hear.) The city of Norwich can well understand a question like this. She. has manufactures of her own, and no doubt the fabrics of the English loom would find their way into Hungary, as well as other productions of skill and industry, were Hun gary free.—(Hear.) But I do not like to place the eaestion of Hungarian independence on this ground. The Hungarian question is a question of general civilization. The people of England have long been and are still fof intellectual culture among the fore• most-nations of the world. But would or could this be the condition of our reputation if this nation had been placed under a Government such as Austria ? (Hear, bear.) Should we, as Englishmen, have been enabled from age to age, or even from year to year, to assert our rights, and advance in moral culture, in civilization, if the Austrian had been among us, and if we had been kept down by Jesuits ? The system followed by Russia, as the principle on which a nation should b e governed, is identical with that of Austria. Depend on this, that if Hungary be kept down under th e f eet of two despotic powers, the whole South of Europe will become but mere provinces of one or both of there.—(Cheers.) It is incumbent that Hungary should be sustained in order that a na tion should exist capable of counteracting the oppres sion of Russia, the somnolence of Germany on the one hand, and the restlessne ss o f F rance on the other (Haan) It is said that the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in this country possesses no power of remon. stronce on the affairs of Hungary, as Austria, like other countries, has the right to govern Hungary a s she pleases. I deny this. The questio n i s not so What, unimportant as this. let me ask you, would have been the consequence to the world if this country had been kept down as it was hoped she wouldhav a e t been by the united powers of F rance and Spain, the period when we were led in our] opposition by Af!siits githam ? We know what was done b y Chatham. Can:*ls fprget what Cromwell did ? When the - Savoy desired to crush the Huguenots and s - the, people .of the Vaudois, did he not become their protector, ,nd refused to complete his treaty with the • f rench moPareh until the Vaudois were released , . - i, k fr ).n oppression—until the safety of those people was secured. Shall we be told that the English people of the nineteenth century are less worthy of their station, or their great name, than the English of the times of Cromwell or of Chat ham ?—(Cheers.) Shall we be told when three times more numerous and three finis.; more powerful in material strength, that in this day we are morally weaker than the men of the days of which I have spoken ?—(Hear, hear.) Such pleas for our non intervention in this Hungarian question use but pleas of weakness or of opposition to the interests of humanity.—(Cheers.) I repeat, can we forget the days of Cromwell and of Chatham ? All we require is to be bold in the expression of our feelings. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs shows by his conduct that he only waits for your backing. By his eloquent and generous speech delivered at the close of the last session of Parliament, he proved he was ready to perform his duty if the British people would support hind.—(Cheers.) It is on this account that the voice of this and similar meetings is highly ne ceesary. The Noble Lord who preceded me in the earlier part of the evening has spoken so fully on the entire argument of this question, that if I were to enlarge upon it, I should only be doing that imper fectly which has been so well and so effectively done by him. I will only, therefore, say further to you that the deeper and the closer you study this cause, the more amply will it repay you. The more you know of the Hungarians, the more fully will you feel the rightfulness of their cause—the more will you be persuaded of the insidious acts of the Russian Government—and the more fully will you be con vinced how necessary it is for us, as a nation, as a people, to take part with nations who struggle to preserve their free institutions, for such preserva tion is not alone to our advantage, but to the advan tage of the world.—(Loud cheers.) Our place in the map of Europe is not to be at the head of despots —(Loud cheers) —but to stand at the head of a com munity of nations, who by their free institutions, and generous aspirations for freedom, most resemble the British people.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was carried unanimously, amid great cheering. Mr. TILLETT moved the third resolution. He ob served it was not his desire to occupy the atten tion of the meeting more than a few minutes. The resolution which he had the honour to be intrusted to move, had fur its object the carrying out an intention expressed by the Noble Lord who had so fully and so ably that night addressed them — to prepare and adopt an address to the Chief Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs in this country, Lord Palmerston, calling on that nobleman to put forth all the energy he possessed for the security of the liberties of the people of Hungary. The resolu tion was as follows :—" T hat this meeting feels that the British nation is under lasting obligation to Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, fur the manly and vigorous policy pursued by him in reference to the Hungarian qu estion, and calls on him to endeavour to settle the existing differences between Austria and Hungary, on such a basis as shall be most conducive to the cause of constitutional liberty, and to the best interests of all the European nations; and that a memorial be for warded to Lord Palmerston ' "signed by the chairman. The people of Norwich had done their duty in bring ing the perfidy of Austria to Hungary before the world—they had performed their duty also in bringing the unrighteous interference of Russia to coerce the noble people of Hungary, and destroy their freedom.—(Bear, hear.) The people of Norwich now came to the practical part of their duty— the people of that city came forward as a sectien of the British public, composed, as he was happy and proud to see, of men of all parties, to urge on the attention of Lord Palmerston, as the Foreign Minister of this great country, to pro test in the name of the people against the injustice done by the enemies of all liberty against a noble race of men.—(Cheers) It was said, although he knew not on what authority, that Lord Palmerston was disposed to move and go on in this Hungarian ques tion. Whether this was so or not, if his (Mr. Til lett's) voice could reach him, he would say, regard no consequences, but go on and take those consequences. —(Cheers.) He would say further, that if there were in the Cabinet any men, who under the false garb of Reformers, sympathised with the acts of Russia, he called on Lord Palmerston to leave them, to resign, to have nought to do with such men, and then he would be carried back to his place of power upon the shoulders of the British people, not, how ever, as the Foreign Minister, but as the Prime Mi nister of this great country, and as the head of a Ca binet whose career would commence on a new prin ciple. It was for these reasons he (Mr. Tillett) coin cided most cordially with the resolution. He was glad to find, both on his right hand and on his left, persons of different political aims and interests, for this showed to him, as it did to others, the extreme hearty feeling which existed in favour of Hungary, for as far as political differences of opinion, and even per sonal feelings, intruded themselves often to some ex tent in this city, they had been put aside on the pre sent occasion for one great and common object.— (Hear.) He would say that the voice of the present meetini ought to be heard, and would be heard. Standing as they did in that as embly, consisting of Whigs, Tories, or Radicals, the fact of assembling together thus, showed the question of Hungary was considered of the most vital interest to this nation.— (Hear, hear.) An allusion had been made in the course of the evening to the press, and he could not forget to mark his hearty detestation of a portion of that press.—(A voice—" The Times.") Yes, the Times. The Times had been called the leading journal of Europe, and it was stated it spoke the voice of the people. He would say it was not so. As re garded the present question, it had proved that it was not.—(Cheers.) What had le Times newspaper done? Because of the arrival of the news of a great victory, it had flattered the hopes of the people with regard to the freedom and the success of Hungary ; but no sooner did the wind appear to blow from another quarter, and the gallant people of that nation suffer a reverse, than out came a dastarJly sneaking article, 'o the effect contrary to that which had been pre viously followed. Was a journal which had taken a course of this kind the representative of English opinion ? (Cheers.) Did the people of England adopt a course like this ? How long, he would ask, should this be allowed to go on and deceive the people of this country ?—(Cheers.) Such were the brief observations he was desirous of placing before the meeting. Congratulating the • Chairman and the citizens of Norwich on the good temper all had shown on the resent occasion, he would at once conclude by moving the resolution.—(Cheers ) Mr. I3ARWEL, in seconding the resolution, said that he believed with his friend Mr. Tillett that the present meeting would produce a strong effect on the mind and the actions of the Minister for Foreign Affairs ' although he felt disposed to be more grateful to that Minister for that which was to come than that which had pass:ll. Nor were either the people of England or the people of Norwich to be drawn away from their objects by the conduct of the Times.—(Hear.) An article appearel in the Times last Saturday, to which he could not but refer. The writer compared meetings such as the present to two boys fighting in the street, when a passenger passes, and seeing a " plucky" little fellow showing fight to a bigger lad, he takes the Fart of the former, and tells him to go in and not be beaten.— (Laughter.) The smaller boy, however, is beaten, which on seeing, the individual who had urged the pair to fight, walks away. Meanieg thereby that the people of England when they had seen Hungary beaten, walked away from the struggle.—(Renewed laughter.) Now the position of the Times was clearly not that of one who showed sympathy for the weaker boy, but that of a person who had assisted to depress a struggling individual.—(llear.) This anecdote reminded him of another. Two men were fighting, and one got the other down and ill-treated him. A third person passed, and on an appeal being made to him, he asked why not allow the man who was down to rise. " Ah!" said the fellow who had got him down, " If you had known what trouble I had had to get him there, you would not let him get up again I am sure."—(Laughter.) Now the Times newspaper, on behalf of the tyrants and despots of the Continent, did not wish that the people of this country should do anything whereby the noble Hun • garian nation should be allowed to " get up again." Hungary had been got down and they did not wish that she should rise. —(Hear, hear.) His opinion was this, that Hungary should be assisted to rise, and enabled to keep down further aggressions.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped the Noble Lord who had so ably addressed them would see that the people of Norwich were hearty in the cause.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Bar well) knew of no meeting held in that city which had been more numerously attended, and on this they ought to congratulate themselves, as also that they possessed so excellent a chairman. lie was not aware what arguments were used to induce Mr. lludson to take the chair, but this they all knew that that gentleman had done the cause great honour by his presence.—(Cheers ) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was carried unanimously, saying that he could not of course have forwarded a memorial to Lord Palmerston had he not been authorised by the resolution of this meeting to do so. Lord DUDLEY STUART rose and said—My friends, you have received me with so much kindness that I am induced to offer myself again to your notice, though it will be for a few moments only, and I am certain what I have to propose will meet with your most willing assent. We have had this evening a great and noble meeting —one calculated to do honour to all conc erne d, and competent to set an excellent example to the whole country. Tha meeting of this evening is composed of large numbers—of great respectability:and.intelligence. Exclusiveness has been set aside, and the meeting is composed of men of all parties. The conduct of all present this night has _ y ,~, .. (:( THE SUN, LONDON, been marked by generous feeling, good order, and the assembiy has been presided over by an impartial and an able chairman—(Loud cheers) — a gentleman who stands high in the good opinion of his fellow-townsmen—one who is greatly regarded by all who have the pleasure of knowing him, and who acts in a manner calculated to impress with a high opinion those who have not had the ad vantage of seeing him before.—(Cheers.) I will not, however, make any further speech, but call at once on this meeting to offer to him the tribute of your thanks.—(Cheers.) Believe me when I say I regard it as a great privilege to move this vote. Bat lam sure it needs not one word to recommend it, and, therefore, I will not add one word more to what I have already said.—(Loud cheers.) E. WILLETT, ET q., seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN, rising amidst great cheering, said— Gentlemen, I have only within a few hours become acquainted with Lord Dudley Stuart, and I really feel most flattered that his Lordship should be the channel through which the thanks of this meeting should be conveyed to me. The motion is, I think, very unne. cesaary, for I have experienced no difficulty in pre siding over this meeting, and really I ought to thank you for your good conduct, and not that I should be thanked by you. I am glad to see in Norwich, where strong opinions sometimes intrude in subjects of a political character, that you are all united in such bonds of good feeling as you have shown this night.—(Loud cheering.) Three deafening cheers were then given for Lord Dudley Stuart. Lord DUDLEY STUART—I cannot help making my voice heard once more in praise of the good con duct you have shown this night. lam proud of it. I am proud of this meeting, and although many years may pass over my head, believe me when I say I shall not forget the meeting on behlf of the Hun garians at Norwich.—(Loud cheering.) The vast assembly then broke up. INDEPENDENCE OF HUNGARY. (From the Norwich Mercury.) The meeting on Monday was one of the most grati fying and most important to the public liberty and to liberal opinions that has been held in Ulla city tor along period. The unanimous consent of parties exemplified in the requisition and in the meeting, to join in one un iversal expression of opinion as to the conduct of two Monarchs in their attempts to crush the freedom of Hungary, will speak trumpet-tongued to distant countries, and will prove to nations that the people of England, how ever their opinions may diverge upon certain main points of civil policy, will yet unite in common cause to save a brave and generous nation in their attempt to retain their constitutional freedom in its original and just integrity. Nor was the presi dency of Anthony Hudson, Esq., a less remarkable instance or one less worthy of record and observation. Every citizen knows that Mr. Hudson, from his high position in the city as a magistrate—a banker, and a highly-respected. citizen, would have a right and would often have been before called to such a position, were it not his invariable habit to avoid such public demonstrations of opinion. It could therefore have been only a cause of extraordinary influence which could have induced Mr. lindson to undertake the duties of chairman—a cause affecting the greatest interests of the Empire. The presence of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, a son of the Marquis of Bute, a popular Member of the House of Commons, whose known liberal sentiments, and whose energetic exer tions in the cause of benevolence and freedom have won golden opinions—with a gentleman of Mr. Donne's character, were indications of an interest which could only be awakened by the deep import ance of the object. These circumstances, with the attendance and support of all parties, made the meeting one of great importance, and our citizens crowded into that hall which had so often resounded with the cheers for liberty in days of old. The address of the Chairman was pertinent to the point, and apposite to the occasion ; while that of Mr. Brightwell, who warmed with the subject, was in perfect consonance with the long asserted principles that gentleman has sustained through life. The same may be well said of the brief remarks of Captain Money, Lord Dudley Stuart's was the speech of the evening. His Lordship's extreme quietude of man ner in society would scarcely prepare the audience for the latent fire which burns within, and which on this occasion burst forth with a power scarcely to be expected. His Lordship's diction is peculiarly dis tinct and articulate—his sentences were terse and strong—his style impressive and earnest —he evidently understands the manner best suited to a public meeting, and is perfectly cairn, collected, and au fait at the points which tell with his hearers, while he loses no opportunity which tile ejaculations of his auditory enable him to make with telling effect. Mr. Donne spoke as if he was master of his subject ; but he has scarcely sufficient weight of voice to make way in such a hall as that of St. Andrew's which requires a peculiar tone to penetrate, and a particular distinctness of manner. The speeches of both Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Donne, and Mr. Brightwell will repay reading, and Mr. Tillett spoke with much force and truth of the articles in the leading journal. We congratulate Mr. Osborn Springfield and the committee on the complete success which has attended their efforts, even against the impressions that the cause of Hungary was lost, and while it must have been most gratifying to see the object of their desires and labours crowned by the perfect propriety with which so full a meeting was conducted, it could have been no less gratifying to them to know that they were supported by so large a body of the most respected citizens whose sympathies were roused by a worthy cause, and who thus willingly and favourably lent their aid to further the call of freedom, and denounce injustice and oppression. MONDAY EV ENING SEPTEMBER 17, 1849. We feel that there i 3 no improbability in the accuracy of that rumour to which the Cowtitatiound has just given utterance, namely, that Lord PALMEIt3TON demands from the Cabinets of Vienna and St. Peters burgh, in reference to the Hun';-arian questhn, the slat:7 quo ante bellian. We are not only fain to credit but to glory in the declaration that the ex , radition from Turkey of the immortal KOSSUTH, in obedience to the requisition of the AUTOCRAT, Would he regarded by the English Government as a casus belli. Yes I thanks to that ennobling and elevating loyalty of the people of these islands to the abstract principles of justice and to the inalienable rights of freedom, we can feel assured that not ours alone, but every staunch heart in the United Kingdom would throb with exultation at the prosi.ect of such a con summation. For we know —we, the people of Eng land know—that, in the language of our illus trious JUNIUS, "this is not the cause of faction or of party, but the public interest of every man in Britain." Aye, "of every man in Britain," for the cause of Hungary is not only the cause of England, but the cause of liberty throughout Eu. rope and Christendom. Again, and yet again, we tell Lord PALMERSTON, that upon him, and upon him alone, amongst all the members of this miserable do nothing Government, England counts with hope and with something more than hope, with confidence. It is befitting that the descendant of Sir WILLIAM TEMPLE should worthily complete his own lofty and honourable destinies, by standing forward as the representative of Great Britain, as the defender of the violated rights, and the vindicator of the abused greatness of KOSSUTH and the Hungarians. I" There is nothing more important in life, especially in public life, than to have a principle to I guide you." This is the doctrine recently put forward by Mr. DISRAELI, the recognised leader, and ineom parebly the most talented member of the Protectionist party in the House of Commons, and in its justice and accuracy we fully and entirely concur. With out a fixed and steadfast principle, a public man, however brilliant his acquirements, and lucid his reasoning powers, will become a political cypher. Blown about by every wind, caught by every ad captandum argument, he will speedily forfeit his character for consistency. He can never acquire weight or influence either in Parliament or with the country, and will be regarded by all classes as affording a melancholy illustration of the evil results of vacillation and uncertainty. It is far better to adopt even an unsound or incor rect principle than to be viithout any. In the former case there is at least hope of improve ment. With matured experience and enlarged know ledge, the advocate of an erroneous principle may possibly be convinced of his former error, and in duced to form a more correct judgment; but no rea sonable expectation can be entertained of the vacillat ing and inconsistent man. To the end of his career he will pursue a Wandering and erratic course, his hand being directed against every man in turn, and every man's hand against him. The same doctrine may be predicated of a great party. If the guiding principle be kept distinctly in view—if the goal be never for a moment forgotten or lost sight of, it gill ultimately be arrived at, however devious the paths into which the pilgrims may wander. Difficulties may arise, impediments apparently insuperable may exist, but the object, if steadfastly and perseveringly pursued, will eventually be attained. For some time the Protectionist party have been literally without a principle. The question of free trade was definitively settled in 1846, and although it has not as yet been completely carried into opera tion, the recent legislation has all tended in that direction. The abolition of the corn tax has been followed by an equitable arrangement of the sugar duties and an improved navigation code. Parliament has affirmed the great principle that henceforward taxes will be imposed for purposes of revenue alone, and not of protection. And " the most complex and perplexing questions will be decided" according to that golden rule. The most zealous and in defatigable monopolists must feel the inutility of any attempts to distract or perplex the question, that has been definitely arranged. The Honourable Member for Buckinghamshire is too skilful a tac tician, too clear-headed and intelligent a partisan, to persist in playing a losing game, in suffering defeat after Celeat, without break►ng new ground and erect ing a more auspicious banner, under which his followers may at least entertain reasonable hopes of victory. That standard has at length been erected. IA new principle has been enunciated, for which the agriculturists are henceforward to contend; and we rejoice to say that it will be accepted by the great body of the people, being alike founded on justice and public policy. "Equal taxation and cheap capital" is from this day forth to be the motto of the Protectionist leader; and in carrying out that Equitable principle we promise him the sympathy and zealous co-operation of the indus trious classes. What does the most enthusiastic fiscal or monetary reformer desire but " equal taxa tion and cheap capital ?" Is it not the great end and object of all his exertions ? Does he not desire an equitable arrangement of the existing taxation, so that every man shall contribute to the national Exchequer secundum statum et fizcultates, according to his means and the stake he possesses in the country ? Does he not seek such changes in the monetary code as will bestow on the nation a circu lating medium or currency adequate to its wants and exigencies—sufficient to stimulate industry, to pro vide remunerative employment for every man able and willing to work, to make availab:e the real capital that exists in the thews and sinews of our labouring men—that would afford " real protection to British industry," not merely to the agriculturists or shipowners, but to all, without ex ception ? " Indirect taxation" can never he supported by the man who honestly seeks equal taxation for all ; the Acts of 1819 and 1844 must be eschewed by him who requires "cheap capital," and a moderate rate of interest for all who have tangible security to offer. We bid, then, Mr. DISRAELI and his associates welcome, and gladly hail them as fellow-labourers in the good cause which wehave so long and so strenu ously advocated. We may not for a time arrive at.a perfect understanding as to the details of the great questions, or as to the mode by which they are to be carried triumphantly through Parliament; but so long as the guiding principles are the same, so long as equal justice and equal privileges to every British subject are honestly sought for—co long shall we be laboui-ers in the same vineyard, whose duty it is to sustain and encourage each other in our undertakings. TkIE GOVERNOR OF MALTA.--We have authority for stating that there is no truth whatever in the paragraph copied from a morning, contemporary, to the effect that Mr. More CoFerrall had h: en repri manded for not receiving the Italian refugees at Malta, and that he had, in consequence, tendered his resignation. We understand that there is not even a shadow. of ground ou which to found this paragraph. ADELPIII THEATRE.—This house will open to night (Monday), the company returning from the Hay ma/ ket, where they have been performing for the last few weeks. Madame Celeste will reappear in one of her favourite characters, and the orchestra will be still under the guidance of Mr. Alfred Mellon, who has recently been engaged at the Liverpool and Birmingham Festivals. BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. IC.—For some days it has been generally rumoured that her Majesty, on her ro turn from Scotland to the metropolis, intended paying a passing visit to this town. Yesterday morning an official communication was received by the Mayor, intimating that her Majesty would proceed direct from Lancaster to the Isle of Wight, without - making any stay en the way. LIVERPOOF, SUNDAY, SETT. IG.—The steam-ship America, Captain Harrison, departed from the Mersey yesterday at noon for Halifax and Boston, with the usual North American mails, and about 80 passengers. Wo have no tidings this uorning of the steam-ship Hibernia, with the mails, &c., from Boston on the 29th ult. The steam-ship Canada, Captain Judkins, which would leave New York on the sth and Halifax on the 8:h inst., may be expected to arrive in the course of to morrow (11fonday). NEWCASTLE• ON-TYNE, SEPT. 15.—William Mac donald was brought up before the magistrates sitting in the gaol this morning, ands evidence being heard of his conduct yesterday, the Court sentenced him to be kept in irons during the remainder of his term of imprison ment, about five weeks, and to receive two dozen lashes with a cat-o'-nine tails. Edward Ranking, and George Hunter, two others concerned in the riots, were each sentenced to three months' imprisonment, in addition - to -the term for which they are now imprisontd. E VENCii REP U BLIC. We hare received the n.ris papers of Saturday and yesterday. If we are to judge from the following decree signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, which appears in the Moniteur of yesterday, the cause of progress, reason, and cxnmon sense has triumphed over that of obcurantim and sacerdotal tyranny, the represen tative of which, M. DE FALLOUX, the apologist of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, the panegyrist of the Inquisition, and now the re-organizer of that de testable tyranny in Rome, is Lo longer a member of the korench Cabinet. The decree says :—" The Department of Public Instruction and Religious Worship- is confided ad interim, from Saturday, the 15th of the present month, to M. LANJUINAIS, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce." A Council was held on Saturday, at which M. DE Faanoux did not attend, and at which it was decided, in consequence of the representations of General CHANGARNIER, to continue General ROSTOLAN in the command of the troops at Rome. The official Maniteur of Saturday contains the fol lowing announcement : " The letter of the President of the Republic to M. Edgard Ney serves as a pretext to certain journals to invent or to circulate all kinds of reports. The Assemblie Nationale, for instance, in its number of this day, gave as positive, that the President of the Republic declared, in a Council of Ministers, that he tdid not pretend to make the policy of the Cabinet subservient to his per sonal feelings, and that since the publication of his letter had been attended with such consequences, he should not hesitate to take from it anything of an official character.' Another journal, the E6tafette, states, that there exists another very important letter of the Presi dent, which is said to have been addressed in form of a circular to all the European Cabinets, and the object of which is to explain or even to extenuate the bearing of the letter of the 18th ult.' We are authorised to declare that these statements are entirely unfounded." The Assemblee Nationale is the organ of M. DE FALLOUX. The Evenement has the following in relation to the letter of the PRESIDENT tO.M. EDGAR NET : " Some members of the committee of twenty-five, being questioned to-day in the Salle des ConleiTences by several representatives, communicated the explanations given yesterday to the committee by the Minister of the Interior, on the subject of the letter of the President of the Republic. It results from these explanations that the letter was communicated to the Council of Ministers, and approved by all who were present; and that there is perfect accord between all the members of the Cabinet as to the policy that is indicated in it. It is added that the great majority of the committee have also adhered to that line of policy." The Univers, the Union, and all the organs of the parti-pretre are unanimous in declaring that the POPE Will not give way. The Constitutionnel declares that the Spanish Government is completely in accordance with that of the French Republic on the subject of the affairs of Rome, and that MARTINEZ DE LA RcsA has received orders to sustain the demand of the French Minister for the adoption of liberal measures. Lord PALMERSTON has, it is said, demanded that France should permit the Roman people to choose their own form of government. M. THEODORE I3ac has presented the following document, signed by himself and several Members of the Mountain, to the Vice-President of the Assembly : " Seeing the letter of the 18Th August from the Pre sident of the Republic to M. Edgar Ney; " Seeing the note inserted in the Monitcur, and from which it would appear to result that one of the members of the Cabinet does not approve of the political line of conduct indicated by this letter, of which he blames the publication; " Consider ing that the discipline of the army, the dig nity of France, and the security of the ceuntry, require that there should not remain any longer a doubt with respect to the agreement of the great powers of the state, and to the policy which they ought to follow in the affairs of Italy; " Tne undersigned demand that the Legislative As sembly be convoked as soon as possible, for the purpose of pronouncing in a sovereign manner upon the line adopted and to be adopted as a general policy, both foreign and domestic." [Here follow the signatures.] The Presse has a long article on the subject of the PRESIDENT'S letter and the disclosures which have taken place consequent on its publication, in which M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN contends that the effect of these disclosures must be to insure the acquittal of those accused of 13th of June, inasmuch as it is proved by the published documents that there was a violation of the Constitution on the part of the Ministry in the conduct of the Roman expedition; and as the Consti tution enjoins on all citizens the duty of rising in its defence, whenever it shall be violated, the citizens who assembled on the 13th of June, and were dis persed by the armed force under Gen. CHANGARNIER, ware in their right, and CHANGARNIER, in dispersing them, was guilty of an illegal act, for which he may be hereafter held responsible. The Presse says the following points are distinctly proved by the documents now before the public : "First—lt is proved that the atteck* on Rome, of the 30th April, took place notwithstanding the refusal of the Pope to publish a manifesto according liberal insti tutions. It is proved, secondly, that, on the 9th of May, the Pope was found to persist in his resolution to make no declaration whatever. Thirdly—That the Ministers had foully deceived the Assembly with regard to the objects of the expedition. Fourthly—That the As• sembly in granting 1,200,000 f. for the expedition never supposed, and never would have sanctioned the supposi-; lion that the object was to overthrow tbe Roman Re public. Fifthly—That Civita Vecchia having been declared in a state of siege, in violation of all the prin ciples and declarations that had been proclaimed, the distrust and resistance of the Roman people were excited and e provoked. Sixthly—That the resistance shown on the 30th of April was in con • sequence of these two facts, the state of siege in which Civita Vecchia was placed, and the perti nacious refusal of the Pope to make any declaration in favour of liberal institutions. Seventhly—That when M. Odilon Barrot asserted that the resistance offered by the Romans was a piece of treachery and a snare, he asserted what could not)eave been true. Eiglithly—That he equally deceived the Assembly when he pretended that Rome was held by a set of strangers, who exercised a reign of terror. Ninthly—That he deceived the Assem bly when he pretended that the Romans were animated by hostility to the French. Tenthly—That, notwith standing all the false declarations of the Minis ters, the Assembly did, nevertheless, refuse to sanc tion an attack on the Doman Republic. Eleventhly— That the Ministers, by not retiring before that vote of the Assembly, which was one of censure, did falsify the spirit of Parliamentry Government. Twelfthly—' It is proved that the extra Parlisanen tary manifestation of the 13th of June had been caused by the grave vielation of the expression of tho national will, committed by the Ministry on the 9,h of May, when they issued tie order for the army to enter Rome by main force, despite: of the resolution of the Assembly of the previous day, and in defiance of the formal pledge on honour contracted by the Ministry to wards the committee not to enter Rome except on invi tation to act as arbitrators.' And, thirteenthly, 'lt is proved that the arms of the Republic have been em ployed against the Roman people, in contempt of the sth article of the Constitution, and of the declaration of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. Drouyn do L'lluys, who on the 7th May said, "Is it, then, forgotten, the conditions upon which the march on Rome was autho rised? I recall the two conditions—first, in case that no serious opposition should be offered; and, secondly, in Base that the army shouid be called by the free will of the population." Under these circumstances the Presse contends that it is morally impossible, seeing it is admitted now that the object of the expedition was from the beginning to restore the POPE, that the prosecution of those engaged in the manifestation of the 13th June can go on. The Patrie says : " The President of the Council of Ministers is still re tained for some days in the country by an operation which demands almost absolute repose. M. Odilon Bar rot, however, passes some hours every day with the directors of his department of, the Ministry, for the dis patch of important business." The Constitutionnel says : "At the moment when preparations were making at Toulon for a new expedition against Morocco, it will be learned with pleasure that such satisfaction has been given to us as to render unnecessary any recourse to extremities." A severe storm has raged in Paris for several days, and several trees have been blown down in the Gardens of the Tuileries and the Champs Elyftles. Letters from Dijon state that the approaching vintage will be deficient in quantity, but that the wine will be of excellent quality. The Council General of the Bank of France, in its sitting of Thursday, voted the resumption of loans on public securities, conformably to the law of May 17, 1834, and the ordinance of June 15, of the same year. We find the following in the Journal des Debats : 00 We shall continue to call attention to the really ex traordinary situation of the Bank so long as this anomaly shall subsist. The cash in hand has increased more than 7,000,000 f. this last week; there are 256,297,000 f. locked up in the cellars of the Bank, and 140,538,000 f. in those of the branch banks—in all, 396,835,00 W. The amount of notes in circulation is 357,079,000 f. at PariF, and 50,257,000 f. in the branch banks, making a t o t a l of 407,336,000 f. The circulation of notes, therefore, only exceeds by 10,500,000 f. the cash in hand; and if we except the branch banks it is below the amount. We hare not forgotten that among the assets of the Bank figures a credit on the state of 100,000,000 f., 50,000,000 f. of which it lent on Treasury bonds, and 50,000,000f.which it paid on account of a loan of 150,000,000 f. which it consented to make under the reign of the Executive Commission and under the Mi nistry of M. Duclerc. This credit of 100,000,060 f. is due at the end of the present year. Unless any new arrangement be made the Treasury will free itself from the claim of the Bank, and it is probable that M. Passy, when he thought of negotiating a loan of 200,000,000 f. in Consolidated Rentes, calculated on paying off this debt of the Treasury. This repayment will again cause more cash to flow into the coffers of the Bank, and will diminish the circulation of bank notes, The cash in iv_d_ld will then ha far above the ma ss o f b an k notes. tird that :Lotwithstanding the payment of the half-year's di,: vid cl .d, w hi c h w ill d raw out of the hands of the 13!,,,D* the amount of the a ccoun t curren t o f t h e Treasury. 11a all tt en see the Bank with 450,000,000 f. to 480,000,0 04 of cash in hand, and a circulation in notes of less ill str'() ; (•C ; cther words, the Bank, instenti adiEng to the circulating capital of the country, will di; mitiish it, which will not prevent its being dispense' from paying its notes in cash. That is simply icv p0.7..5i Lie." BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT ' roe LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, SEPT. 15. Great Indian Peninsula, 14—N ort h ern o f Fiance, 2 1 / 4 ( 34 ' —Rouen and Havre, 1014. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Inflexible, Commander Hoseason, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday morn ing from the East Indies and the Cape of Good Hope, bringing most important news from the latter colony to the 2d of August, being twenty-three days later than that communicated in our paper of Saturday. By the highly interesting details which we subjoin, it will be seen that the colonists have assumed an atti tude of determined resistance to the step of making the Cape a penal settlement, and so serious was the excitement on the subject, that his Excellency Sir Harry Smith had made arrangements, on the arrival of the Neptune, for the convicts to be turned over to the Seringapatarn hulk at Simon's Bay, and there to be kept until further instructions regarding their disposal should be received from her Majesty's Government. The colonists, however, insisted that they should be sent away from the colony the moment they arrive. The Brilliant, 20, Captain Watson, sailed from the Cape for England, on the same day as the Inflexible left, Aug. 2, at which date the Southampton, 50, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, Geyser steam-sloop, Dee steam-transport, and Sermgapatarn, coal depot, were lying at Simon's Bay. The Eurydice, 26, was at the Mauritius and the Oreste s , 18, i n th e M ozam bi que Channel.' Rear-Admiral Reynolds was waiting the arrival of Commodore Wyvill, in the Castor, to resign his command, and proceed to the southeast coast of Americas The Randolph convict ship put into Simon's Bay, in the middle of July, for medical assistance, in consequence of the late surgeon super intendent, Mr. Harry Goldney, having put a period to his existence by jumping overboard at sea, while labouring under temporary derangement, caused by erysipelas in the head. Mr. Lawrance, senior assis tant of the flag-ship, having been appointed acting surgeon-superintendent, the Randolph proceeded on her destination to Australia. The Inflexible left St. Helena on the 17th, and the Brilliant on the 13th August. Commodore Panshawe, in the Centaur, had proceeded from that island for Loando on the 9th; only four days before the Di it liant's arrival. The Brilliant left Ascension the 19th August, and the Inflexible on the 21st. The Tortoise was the only vessel lying there. The squadron on the coast was healthy, and very successful. We regret to announce the death of Mr. "John Cameron, who has for some years been connected with the press in London. He was send with malignant Asiatic cholera, at his residence in Lambeth, at seven o'clock on Saturday evening, and ceased to exist before nine on Sunday morning. DIE QUEEN DOWAGER.—Yesterday her Majesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by their Serene Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen, and the members of her Majesty's household, attended Divine service at Stanmore Church. The Hon. and Rev, Douglas Gordon and the Rev. Mr. Oliver were the offi ciating clergymen. His Siren() Highness the Hereditary Prince of Saxe Meiningen arrived on Friday evening from Germany, in time to join the dinner circle. His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar. the Earl of Denbigh, the Earl Howe, the Hon. Miss Edon, cud Captain Bedford, are staying with her Majesty. The return of Queen Adelaide to Bentley Priory for her winter residence has infused much joy to the intt• bitants, more especially the povr, who, last year, were recipients of the benevolence of " the good Queen Ado lade." The health of her Majesty has much improved of late. MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—Lord Carlisle has arrived in town. Mr. Labouchore, President of the Board of Trade, arrived in town on Friday, but has since departed for Brighton. Lord Minto has arrived in town from a visit to Lord and Lady John Russell. Lord John Russell remains at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park. Lord Lansdowne, accompanied by his lady, has gone on a visit to the Duke of Hamilton in Scotland.

Sympathy shall do for the Hungarians what has been undone by treason. England shall by her bene ficent influences counterbalance the evil influences of Russia. In speaking thus we are only reiterating a truth which has been articulated by the voice of thousands. The people of Great Britain have pro claimed, and are still proclaiming, their determination to prevent the extinction of another glorious nation ality. As an independent power Poland has been obliterated from the map of Europe. England witse nes.'_ed, the downfal of that heroic kingdom, and the children of England wept over the annals of the calamity. Their tears were soon quenched, however, by their indignation, and they resolved, as a race sworn to keep alive the vestal fires of Liberty, that they would never behold a second partition. In spite of this, the insatiable ambition, the greed of empire, the lust of dominion have prompted the northern despots repeatedly to make aggressive advances upon every contiguous ter ritory. In this manner, for example, we have seen the AUTOCRAT absorbing petty provinces one after another; we have seen his soldiers pressing into the very heart of Moldavia and Wallachia, threatening the frontiers of Roumelia, and placing his janissaries as sentinels over the palatial residences of Bucharest ; we have seen his policy directed perpetually to that magnificent day-dream of the house of ROMANOFF, which would reduce the Caliph SULTAN to a simple viceroy—which would enable the Russian fleet to ride at anchor off the Golden Horn—which would cause the banner of the black eagle to fly over the dome of St. Sophia, and would transform the gorgeous city of Constantinople into the St. Petersburgh of the Mediterranean. As with the Czaia, so also with the KAISER we have observed the damnable work of spoliation progres sing. While extinguishing the last glimmer of Polish independence by the annexation of Cracow, the wicked councils of the Austrian have directed their energies to the completion of that great work of miscellaneous robbery. They have tried to cozen the Germanic Confederation into the abandonment of the imperial authority unconditionally to the House of Hapsburg. They have endeavoured to awe Gallicia into obedience by the employment of a terrorism contrasted with which the terrorism of ROBESPIERRE was humane and magnanimous. They have goaded on the nobles to the tyrannical domination of the peasantry, and have instigated the peasantry to wreak upon the nobles a sanguinary and diabolical ven geance. They have placed in the hands of their myrmidons the weapons of cruelty and assassination, the torch and the dagger, deleterious drugs and those yet mere disastrous and destructive poisons, slanders invested with the appearance of official authenticity. As the crowning ac of their stupendous atrocities, the members of the Government of Austria have dared to place a sacrilegious hand upon the in violable rights and the immemorial liberties of Hungary. It is not yet forgotten—nay, we are bold to aver that it will never be lost to remem brance, never until the last champion of freedom is strangled on the expiring hecatomb of his com patriots—how that unparalleled evidence of treachery calle forth from the race of the Magyars equally unparalleled evidences of civism, of heroism, and of devotion to their ancient prerogatives. The rising throughout the countries of the Danube, the retreat to the environs of Debreczin, the defence of Comorn, the campaign in Transylvania, and the simultaneous victories achieved - when the Provisional Government sounded the charge of battle—rolling back the armies of -FERDINAND to the suburbs of Prcsburg, obscuring the renown of WELDEN, of WINDISCBGRATZ, and of ITAYNAIT, appalling the EM PEROR into an abdication, and routing the formidable band of Croats under JELLACUlCH — constitute a spectacle more majestic than any that has been wit nessed since the Titanic wars of 'the great conqueror NAPOLEON. The heart of England leaped up with exultation at the tidings of all that had been accom plished—unaided, except by GOD and their own valour—by the glorious sons sef Hungary. The mind of England appreciated the justice of the sacred and unsullied cause of the Hungarians. The soul of Englandrevolted at the prospect of their subjugation-- a prospect which was rendered only the more probable when FRANCIS JOSEPH called in to his aid the legions of the abhorred NICHOLAS. And soon the voices of the people of England were head resounding across Europe, breathing hatred and defiance against 1 the scourgers of women, the ruthless and pitiless oppressors . of nations. Thank GoD the British Government remained apathetic in the midst of this emergency, the British people 'were true to them selves and to their historic recollextions. Hungary has been delivered over by treason, bound hand and foot, to the mercies of tbc.Austrian EMPEROR, and of his ally the Russian AUTOCRAT. Yet awful as is her peril, she is not lost—fm she has the sym pathy, the love, and the admi ration of the great English people. In this very even mg's impression of our journtl will be found another tol:en of that enthusiasm which we have striven, and not vain, to awaken in the bos ) m s of our countrymen. The particulars of the me4tiog held this day se'nnight at Norwich would be sufficient of themselves to ;show that England despairs not for Hungary, if we rue no other attestation whatevn. of that opinion. Other attestations, how• ever, vie have—the attestations (e very man amongst us) of (ur own judgment and of 9 tr own convictions. SPAIN.

The Bavarian Chambers were opened on the 10th• The following is the most rernarkab!e passage in the Speech from the Throne : " Since the spring of last year a powerful me ral move ment has had possession of the greater part of Borer' and given in all Germany, and consequently also ill Bavaria, new activity to the public life of the people., The princes and nations o f G erman y h ave preelaitoeu that the object of their common efforts is to give a 1 1 ‘ 7 e e development to the interi or , an d strengt h en t h e po% ~ of the common country abroad. But in this noble V."' suit of enthusiasm impure elements have been mixed I.ll l e and on many pe fats they acquired a temporary propene derance. Passion and blindness have shaken the basis of social order ; they have endeavoured to cause what Was undertaken for the haipiness of the people to serve is promoting their ruin. it is a sacred duty for the GO' vernment and the fe?gislature to oppose with a strong hand the criminal attempt. Feithful to my conviction that liberty cannot exist with ou t or d er an d the lave, , have endeavoured to fulfil that (hey. To succeed corn; pletely, I count on the support of the representatives 01 my people.
