A requisition, addressed to the mayor, has been placed on the table of the Exchange News-room, of which the following is a copy:—" We, the undersigned, do hereby request you to call a public meeting of the in habitants of the borough, to consider the propriety of ex pressing sympathy with the Hungarians in their struggle for independence, and especially to protest against the invasion of Hungary by Russia?'

STATE Of GRAVEYARDS IN CLERICENWELL.—III no place is a reform more necessary than in the district of Clerkenwell, where graveyards are completely hemmed in and closely abutted on on all sides by dwell ing -houses and workshops, in many cases deriving light and ventilation solely from these pestilential places. The over -crowded state of one of them has been made the subject of a Government commission (I allude to Spa-fields); the others (four) are scarcely in a better condition ; an examination of them is imperatively ne cessarily. My been called to the state of the vaults in St. James ' s attention, as district surveyor, has lately Church, where, through quite open gratings, piled in rows, are to be seen coffins seven or eight deep; the graveyard is literally crammed. Strange to say, inter ments still go on. Extensive workshops are being erected on the adjoining properties. The attention of Government is no st being directed to this subject, and the nuisance must be summarily dealt with. Any fur ther interments should be interdicted, the vaults sealed, and two feet of concrete placed over the graveyards.— The Builder. history is a romance which is believed; romance, history which is not believed.--Eliza rook's Journal THE HUNGARIAN STRUGGLE. MEETING AT STAFFORD. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) A numerous meeting of the burgesses of Stafford was held in the County Hall in that town lest night, to ex press their sympathy with the Hungarian nation in their present struggle against the Russians. The chair was taken by the Mayor, James Tumock, E.q., at seven o'clock. In opening the proceedings, The MAYOR alluded to the particulars of the present struggle, pointing out the reasons why that nation had a right to the sympathies of this country; and expressed his pleasure in acceding to the requisition which had been presented to him to hold this meeting. The Rev. Mr. SPEERS came forward to move the first resolution. The reason why this meeting, and such meetings as these, he said, had been held, was not a de sire to meddle with the affairs of foreign nations, or to interfere in continental wars, but the desire of England was to see Europe in peace, and it was with reference to this end that these expressions of public opinion, that mighty engine which had been always so efficacious in all great questions throughout the world, had been called forth. The whole of the struggle on which they were now called upon to express their opinion gave a flat de nial to the statements which had been circu lated so extensively and maliciously, that Hungary was properly a province of Austria. Hungary had always been independent, and thank God, always would be independent of Austria, though for many centuries that empire had done all it could to extinguish the liber ties and freedom of the Hungarian nation.—(Hear, hear.) This country was deeply interested in this struggle, for if we refused to sympathise and to aid these brave men is their efforts, what right had we to expect that we should always be able to preserve our liberties untouched against the attacks of despotism. He did not wish that England should draw the sword in this struggle, she was suffering . too deeply at present from her inter ference in foreign wars, but what he desired was that England should take advantage of her moral right among the nations—a power for which we must remember that Englishmen would one day have to be responsible—to effect that amelioration in the affairs of the world which it was her proper duty to do. He thought that if the chivalrous spirit of the Hungarian nation were grafted upon the stock of European society great benefit would accrue to Europe from that inter mixture. He was not such a lover of peace, although he detested war as much as any one, as to say that war was the greatest evil. No; he thought that the crushing of such a nation as the Hungarian, whose history was full of so many stirring reminiscences, and so many noble deeds, was a much greater evil than any war. The Rev. Gentleman concluded by moving the following resolution:— _ ---____ " That this meeting views with the deepest respect and sympathy the present struggles of the Hungarian nation for the right of self-government, which they had for many centuries wisely exercised ; and further pledges itself by every legitimate and proper means to testify such sympathy, and to support the cause of the Hungarian people. The Rev. Mr. HILL seconded the resolution. He was delighted to see all parties and all sects uniting, not only at this meeting, but also all through the kingdom, to ex press their sympathy with struggling liberty. This was a debt which not only England, but also all Europe, owed to Hungary. In past ages, when the Turks had assaulted the liberties and religion of Christian Europe, the tide of invasion had been rolled back by brave Hungary; and what cause of complaint would she have against this country if, in this great struggle, the aid of that people, whose boast it had always been that theirs was the land of freedom, was denied to them? He hoped that such would not be the case, and if he might judge from the present assembly, there was not much fear that any such blot would rest upon the escutcheon of England. Mr. METEYARD, who was greeted on his appearance by repeated cheering, came forward to move the next re solution. He thought that he could not better introduce himself to the meeting than by reading to them the prayer of Kossuth over the dead bodies of the Hungarians slain fighting for their country's freedom, which was re ceived by the meeting with repeated and enthusiastic cheering. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to de scribe to the. meeting the details of this struggle up to the present moment. In reading the accounts of these events, ought not the heart of every Englishman to revert back to the times when similar struggles were being carried on in England—to the times of Pym, Hampden, and Cromwell, to the events by which our present liberties of thought, of action, and of speech, were secured? and ought not every Englishman to sympathise with the efforts of a brave nation, who strove to emulate us in the blessings of freedom And he was proud to say that sympathy had not been want ing throughout the length and breadth of this country. Edinburgh had met, Birmingham had met, all the great educated towns of the kingdom bad met, and it was not too late for the burgesses of Stafford to show that they were not behind the rest of their fellow-countrymen in the cause of freedom and liberty. Sympathy was the duty of every nation, and nobly, he was glad to say, had this country spoken out in the cause; but, alas! she had been outstripped by her dau ghter, America. in this question. This very day had he learned, and a proud man he was to be able to announce such a fact to such a meeting, that America had recognized the independence of Hungary.—(Great cheering.) Would to God that England had been the first to lead the way in such a noble course; would to God that she had not to follow any nation ! But still her course lay open, and he heartily prayed that she would not hesi tate in proceeding on it. He would scarcely dare to call the attention of the meeting to the great commercial ad vantages which a recognition of the independence of Hungary would offer to this country. One of Kossuth's first steps had been to throw off all commercial restric tions; there would no longer be an Austrian tariff nor despotic custom-house; but Hungary, with its admiration for the English character, might be converted into a va luable ally to this country. The Hon. Gentleman con cluded by moving the following resolution:— " That this meeting solemnly protests against the in terference of Russia, and the slaughter by her armies of the Hungarian people, who bad in no ways given any cause for war; and further to express their abhor rence of the infamous cruelties and crimes committed by the Austrian Generals and troops upon a brave people, who have resorted to arms only as a last resourse to maintain the indefeasible right of all men—self-govern ment. And, also, that this meeting expresses its admi ration of the great generals and statesmen, who have so nobly directed the Hungarian cause,—Kossuth, Georgey, Beni, Dembinski, Aulich, and others ; and fervently desires that a continuation of the same resolute wisdom and undismayed courage, which have hitherto distin guished their efforts, by the Divine assistance may be brought to a successful issue." Mr. COOPER rose to move— " That a petition be prepared, to be signed by the chairman of this meeting, humbly to petition her Most Gracious Majesty, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to acknowledge the independence of Hungary, and to take such measures as in her wisdom she may think most fit to maintain the rights of the Hungarians as a free people." He begged to congratulate Stafford on this expression of opinion upon such a mighty struggle, which was so nearly connected with the question of our own liberties and freedom. It was, then, the interest as well as the duty of Englishmen to stand forward mightily at this juncture, to arrest not only the liberties of Hungary but of all Europe, to drive back the northern despot to his own limits, and to render the freedom of the world se cure from his attacks. With the independence of Hun gary the independence of all Europe would fall— from Hungary to Constantinople, from Constanti to Persia, and from Persia to Hindostan, were but short steps. England should not be backward to seize this opportunity of restraining the power of Russia, as well as of forwarding the cause of freedom, and it was with these views, and with his whole heart and soul, he cried " God save Hungary." Mr. PEPLOW felt himself honoured to be called upon to second this resolution, which he thought was the most important of the evening. He . congratulated England upon her present position, dignified and tranquil, and he thought that it vviss in her power to in terfere with mighty effect in this question. But it was necessary to consider what must be the consequences of English interference. Suppose that Queen Victoria should acknowledge the independence of Hungary, and that after that Russia should persist in he r ty rann i ca l intervention in this family-question, what must we do then ?—(A voice from the crowd, " Fight," and c h eers .) Certainly, we must be prepar ed to fol low up our recog nition action, by and,an appeal h to e arms,back etowasalover of peace, still up sympathy w ith he thought slavery a greater evil than war; to oppress the souls of men was worse tha n wo unding their b o di es , though and with these views he, for one, would never hesitate t o say "Fight manfully in such a cause. ' The CHAIRMAN then put the resolutions, which were carried unanimously amidst loud cheering. After a vote of thanks to the Mayor for hi s con d uc t i n the chair, the meeting separated , with three cheers for the Hungarians, and three groans for Russia, heartily given. PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM.—Yes hair at eight o'clock. good. The terday evening a preliminary meeting, for the for ma ti on of a Parliamentary and Financial Reform A ssoc i a ti on i n the parish of Lewisham, was held at the Beehiv e T avern , remarkablyw th as e c S ll y e d v e . n \ h v a il in li . am Tp i e tm a . t o t o e d ndan toolsattendance was Mr. Elliot proposed the first resolution—" That it is desirable that the members of the National Reform As sociation residing in Sydenharn, form themselves into a local association, for the purpose of extending the in fluence and promoting the objects of the Council." Mr. Miller seconded the resolution. lle was willing to devote what he could spare, both of his time and his money, to the service of the association. Re had been a subscriber to the Anti-Corn-law League, and from its success he an ticipated that in the coming struggle, though patience might be required, " Victory " would soon be the cry. lie only regretted that the place proposed was not more ceatral. To ensure success nothing was wanted but perseverance. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. The thanks of the meetin g were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated about ten o'clock. _ _ EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.--Mr. Duncan has been re-appointed solicitor to this company, by the una aigtoss Tote of the board of directors. The following admirable speech was recently de livered at a meeting held at the Town-hall, Man chester, John Potter, Esq., Mayor, presiding : The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN, who on rising was warmly received, said—" I am happy in being permitted to take a part in the proceedings of this meeting. It is not often that I can feel at liberty, as a minister of religion, to connect myself very prominently with these public expressions of opinion upon national or international questions; but I understand that our object is peace and not war—(Hear, hear)—and I have vows upon me, which require that, as far as in me lies, I should be a man of peace. But in propor tion as I am a man for the use only of peaceful means for the settling of disputes, I feel that I am bound only the stronger to bring that class of means into the most vigorous action.—(Cheers.) It is a very easy thing to lament over the atrocities of war; but if we mean that wiser and better agencies should accomplish the work we intend, we are to look to it, that we bring these agencies into the kind of play that may accomplish that purpose. And now, sir, I cannot prefess to be an adherent to what is called the peace principle, to the extent of saying that the greatest of all possible calamities is war. Ido not believe it; I be lieve that there are greater calamities than that. I believe at the same time that it is a dire extremity, and that very few wars that have taken place on earth will bear looking at for a moment in a moral aspect. I feel that in proportion as I go far in that direction, I ought to do my best to put discountenance on that barbarian mode of settling disputes by a war of one man against another, and that I should try to bring in modes of adjusting these disputes—intellect with intellect, heart with heart—that are proper to civilised man.—(Applause.) Sir, I join with the gentleman who proposed the resolution that I am called upon to support, in expressing thanks to Lord Palmerston for the manly English way in which he gave utterance to a sublime truth—a truth that relates to the power that public opinion may be made to take along with it. Yes, sir; but if that public opinion is to be powerful, in the same degree it must be proclaimed. It will not be potent in the world whilst it is pent up in men's breasts. It must have its proclamation as from the house top, and in the open day. The evils it has to counteract are abroad through the world, stalking unmasked at noon, and if public opinion is to counteract thse opinions, it must be then as un masked as they, and as little familiar with fear as they—(Applause)—and it is a sublime truth that public opinion should have this power in it. It is a power of its own order, and it is without armies, it is without constables, it is without authorities f an artificial kind, of any sort; and yet, sir, its very breath is law; its very look is penalty—the weakest apparently of all powers, it is by God's Providence the mightiest of all.—(Loud applause.) If you ask me how this comes about, I think I see a little way to an answer. A man may not care greatly about being feared—there are proud men who like to he feared ; he may not care greatly about being hated ; but let him be despised—let him feel that he is loathed —let him be obliged to admit that he is execrated by the intelligence and virtue of man, and that, be sure of it, will be torture to the very soul.—(Loud ap plause.) It is a wise and kindly provision of the father of our nature that it should be so; that man should not be placed in isolation and independence of the sympathies and feelings of his fellow-man—that he should be so constituted as to feel that the contempt of his fellow-men is as gall and wormwood to his nature. Now, this mighty en• gine we have ; we are come together this day to wield it ; and only let the contempt of this great empire be aroused, so that it shall here find unmistakeable expression, and I marvel much if even Austrian pride is not made to cower before it ; I marvel if even Russian barbarism be found to be wholly impervious to it ; and as to French vanity, that I am sure will be cut to the quick by it.—(Loud applause.) But, sir, we have no right to expect that our men in power will do the things we wish them to do, except we take some such posture as we are taking to day, and allow it to be clearly seen that we mean to hold them justified in their doings. We have no right to expect that they will go into courts and cabinets and speak decidedly there, if meetings like this do not speak decidedly at home.—(Hear, hear.) It is to expect what is unreasonable to expect. I say, therefore, that these men should be regarded by us as powerful, in this intervention for the independence and the separate rights of nations, only in proportion as they can point to their back, and let it be seen that there are millions of enlightened and free hearted men, who have put them upon the work to plead for these nations. Now, sir, I understand that it is our object to-day to give a kind of moral authority and power to the expostulation to the English Ministry, on behalf of national independence and national free dom.—(Hear, hear.) But, sir, it may be said, " Have you a case warranting this movement ?" I think we have. I believe we have as strong a case as could be culled out by the most skilful historian, from the history of Europe for the last three hundred years. The Hungarian people, whose condition has especially moved us to this meeting, are a people occupying a sort of border country between the eastern world and western Europe; and all border people have had a restless life of it. They have been familiar with peril, familiar with hardship, in fact, familiar with everything that tends to make anything but a very silky people—that is, with everything that tends to nurture men into hardihood, and to snake them thoroughly men. These Hungarians are the de scendents of those races who, two or three centuries ago, formed the grand rampart between the then towering force of the Turkish empire and the civili zation of Western Europe, and many a good fight did they maintain in these regions, to hurl back that force and to shelter the European nations, our own among the rest.—(Applause.) As a consequence of this train of circumstances they have become, as ss e now find them, a people of much more than ordinary amount of manly intelligence, self-reliance, and energy . The Austrians (the Viennese especially), being placed in circumstances where they could lean upon the lap of power and indulgence, have, for the most part, borne the fruit of such circumstances, and are found to be effeminate, abject, and feeble. In fact the history of these Hungarian., as compared with the history of many other countries, bears a striking resemblance to our own. Yes, they have their Magna Charta, even as we have ours; and what is more, seven years before our English barons extorted that charter from the English King, the Hungarians had their charter.— (Applause.) The National Diet, thus secured, has been in their history very much what our own National Parliament has been in ours; and then their local associations and authorities, inseparable from the condition in which they were, as a people that must have liberty, in order to be always up and ready to act against a foe—these local institutions have nur tured them in political intelligence, being the schools in which they have been educated, even as in our own Anglo-Saxon experience. It is true that they have been a part of the Austrian empire for some time ; but they became a part of the Austrian empire by compact, and not by conquest. They became a part of that empire upon conditions which required, that the Emperor of Austria, before he placed a step upon that throne, should avow, in the presence of the God of nations, that he would respect the in dependence of the kingdom of Hungary. Sad it is to be obliged to feel, that this respect consisted rather in words than deeds ; that again and again efforts were made either to put this independence in abeyance or to cripple it in many points, but in no instance could it be crushed. It remained for the wise men of Austria, within the last twelve months—auspicious period for such a work—to at tempt to crush a liberty which previous ministers did not dare to attack.—(Applause.) We know what the result has been. The Austrians, having subdued insurrection as they deemed it, at home, go to put down the independence assumed in that section of the great Austrian empire called the kingdom of Hun gary. The Hungarians meet them at the border to say it should not be so ; We have been independent, our fathers were so, our children shall be so.'— (Loud and continued applause.) Well, the battle came on, and as you might expect, compared in point of valour in the ranks, generalship at the head, statesmanship over the nation, patriotism everywhere, Hungary is triumphant, and Austria is seen rolling back, defeated, upon Vienna—(Enthusiastic applause) —confessedly beaten, utterly despairing of raising up anything within themselves that could put down this Hungarian movement. Why, sir, if ever a cause was fairly tried that should determine whether a people should be independent or not, I think these Hungarians have shown that they deserve this inde pendence, seeing that they could appreciate it— fight for it—die for it.—(Loud and continued cheers.) If they do not deserve the freedom which they claim , then I am bold to say that Englishmen do not _tow deservei the freedom which they possess—(Hear) — b for bO cl rught nothing in the shape of exception that can have strug gled up against the series of patriotic men freedomwh in Hun gary, to perpetuate independence and gary, that is not a kind of exception that may be pre ferred with quite as great force against that ancestry Of patriots in our own c ase, who have secured f or us our bill of rights, our entire liberties.—(Applause.) We must not, therefore, be told that this is an ordi. :-J t... 4 I OLE 111 - nary case. It is nothing of that kind. It is a case involving interests of vast amount. Oh yes ; and there is another feature besides, Mr. Mayor, and to my poor heart it is a noble and a tender feature too. There is a religiousness in the heart of these men that is quite refreshing, when contrasted with the cold heartedness on that subject of so large a portion of Europe. I have read but recently a prayer uttered, for the first time, over the grave of the slaughtered ones of Hungary, by that hero for the hour, Louis Kossuth.—[The whole meeting here rose and con tinued cheering and applauding most enthusiastically for some time.] I feel that I should like to read you this prayer.—(Loud cries of " Read.") Kossuth is upon his knees, and the graves of his slaughtered countrymen are beneath him. The Rev. Doctor then, amidst the breathless silence of the meeting, read the following prayer : " Lord! God of the warriors of Arpad! Look down upon thy servant from thy throne of stars—look down upon thy servant, for the prayer of millions ascends to heaven from his lips, magnifying the mysterious power of thy omnipotence. My God! thy sun is radiant above me, and beneath me are the bones of my heroic: brethren that are fallen in battle: the heavens are blue above me, and the earth beneath my feet is red with the holy blood isheahlon o li ryn f auty t li boihsflneeosuloes:dso open thy hyeo an o r tr f s tuuth o hpuy n et, eotb ahn a o rand: that flowers ssflott of five r o s mayt . roysmi Send, 0 God! the op g t h fe e i rt u s hi eyme brethrenaao may spring ocseupsrtr ancestors! warriors, may yr fiGronoroums God for in it thunders the arm and the s pirit ft of a brave people, baeunlt kneel c u r n us t h h i o ng fre t s h h e i g ro ra n y a e r s ii o o myyrannu)r-. brethren.t earth ; the Sacrifices like these sanctify thy from sin!

Let the ashes of our heroes rest in sanctity! Do not abandon us, great God of battles; but I magnify thy power over us! Anaen.' " (Loud applause.) There surely cannot be a heart in this assembly that does not sympathise, I had almost said to agony, with the spirit of that man, and mar vellous it is to me—greatly marvellous—that this fine old English speech of ours, that seems as though it were constructed to breathe no sentiment contrary to freedom and to humanity, that this should be dese crated through any channel supposed to express public opinion, by being employed to patch up ex cuses for oppression like this, and accusations against men like these.—(Applause.) I cannot comprehend it. The extent to which this is done Ido not know, but that it is done at all is to me a mystery, and a grief of no ordinary kind. If I might say further, I would say that this is a question in which you, as men of Manchester, have your interest. Do you think that the autocrat of Russia means, by coming in thus upon Hungary, to do the bidding of Austria—intends to serve Austria? He is wiser than that. He means to serve that power only to the extent to which it can be a new instrument, whereby he can influence the condition of European society at large. He means to serve that empire only thus far, and its own idiotic policy has brought it now to this blessed alternative—that henceforth it must be virtually, if not nominally, a mere appendage to Russia, or must sit down contented, losing the Hungarian kingdom.—(Cheers.) Then, sir, let any one look at the map, see where Hungary is placed, and ask himself, " Does the Autocrat come down, think you, nearer and nearer to the Black Sea, to Constantinople, and have no ambitious eye in that direction ?" We have heard, indeed, of the failure of resources, and of the narrow means of that power. Part of that I believe, but I am afraid that our great townsman has over-coloured the picture of Russian poverty and weakness; lam afraid we may err some what on the other side through his guidance, though the substance may be true. Certain it is, that the great mortification of Russia has long been, that through British influence, its power is checked so forcibly in these directions. Let that power prevail there, and your traffic through these regions is no longer safe—your way to your great Indian empire is no longer undisturbed. We have been built up upon the fact of possessing that empire, of our pos sessing this traffic, of our having it secured. Strike it away, and in the artificial state in which we are, misery dreadful to think of is inseparable from its luss. It is not then for us to encourage, it is for us rather to check, by all the moral power we can bring to hear upon it, tendencies of such a power. Hungary has now markets that are compratively open to you ; but let Russia come in, and then there is the Russian tariff, and some of you I presume know what that means.—(Hear.) The only idea of free trade that Russia has is, that one Russian may buy and sell with another, and that is the only idea on the subject that you will be able toget in there for some time. I con fess, however, that these economic notions, these relations of things to the mere material interests of men, are not the great thing with me. It is not to be concealed from any man who will look at all patiently at it, that the clear, the avowed purpose of the Em peror of Russia is to come in, as an instrument of destiny, according to his view, to check human pro gress, to stereotype God's creature man, to narrow up into as small a space as possible all liberal ideas, to exert the authority of one will over all wills, leaving no liberty to conscience, no sacredness to person, no safety to property, but making the will of himself to be the sovereign law over all these human wills. But, sir, there is nothing European in all this. It is not merely oriental, it is the worst form of orientalism. It is a kind of orientalism for which you have to travel over the broad flats of Tartary or Mongolia ; and are we to allow these things to come down like a flood upon Europe, without even our moral power being put forward to check it ? I think not. That Austria should have asked aid from any quarter to settle an international dispute we hold to be wrong ; but that such a power should be called in to do it aggravates the original error. Yes, and I cannot but as a man, look on this with fear and with pain. Give me the amount of the tyrannical sway in any people, and I will give you the amount cf social and moral corrupt ness in that people. Tell me the force of the reign of terror that is there, and I will tell you the degree in which all virtuousness is taken from virtue, in which all crime is raised to the place of virtue, where the natural interests of right and wrong are in danger of being eradicated and destroyed, where men are taught to consider all things right that may help the weak to counteract, to elude, to spoliate, to damage the strong, that are everywhere working against them.—(Loud applause.) It is a cauldron of these awful passions that is called up wherever this kind of power prevails ; and I say, theref o re, to Russian power " Back, back to thine own land, back and bring not thy blight upon the fair face of our beloved Europe."—(Loud cheers.) But I cannot easily suppose—for though I talk thus, I have the reputation of being somewhat of a moderateman z i l cannot easily suppose that some persons present say, " But how can you speak thu s and be blind, to a bteb,attotythreanfancyt may tyrannyt h e extent s to n w u tc h u i u c h fi e y d o u m s A e e u m s t t r o i co me up from mobs, as well as from monarchs, that tyranny may be exercised by democrats as well as autocrats ?" I know it. But too painfully do I know it, and all I have to say to it is that, come tyranny whence it will, it is " the thing my soul hateth," and had I a thousand lives to spend, I think I could choose that the last breath of the last of them should be spent in allowing me to look tyranny in the face, and to say, " Tyranny, I hate thee. —(Loud applause.) Yes, sir, further than this I say, that I never execrate tyranny so much as when I find it in connexion with men who can take upon their unholy lips the sacred name of liberty. But, sir, when I look over the wide field of history abroad upon the earth, and upwards to the past, I am obliged to conclude that, if popular excesses have sometimes slain their thousands, monarchical excesses have slain their tens of thousands.—(Loud applause.) But there is this ; the excesses of a free people have al ways been the exception, not the rule ; whereas the excesses in other quarters have too often been the rule, not the exception. Again, too, the tyranny of a free people carries its own corrective along with it ; for there is an element of inconsistency that must, after the passion is over, shame men from the prac tice.—(Applause.) In the other case it is not so b ; s i s t is only in harmony too frequently with the u ve tu ry era a cy i , upon which the power rests. I want n d o e t m a I want not aristocracy, I want not want all these blended wisely, j ustly, possible liberty to as to secure upon the largest ) sen N te o n vt c , e , humanely, ocracy ; s the au enthusiastica n (T h u was lost remainderl., rs t o sca l et- a p applause.) of u the se sir, h et w rb a o way to ant trespass that, ss years,have fin ur.. tbeies been I old o be nE l o i n e u v gr e h i that of T wa l y a t w t 0 00i e u are t fs. l o o n r agi our o, dd were e fur ther—(Loud cries of ' Go on, from a ll parts of the ought, perhaps, to say a wor d or two about the h h oo r rn doings of our old friends across the water—Re. pu blican France in R e p u bli can Rome—that veryestly people at home, with such zeal for priesthood there ; but, sir, 1 am not here to utter one word to-day disrespectful of any man's creed. Whether a man be a priest after the type of Rome, after the type of Oxford, or after my own sort, somewhat after the type of Geneva, if he must be a priest I think he has got pretty much enough on his own hands, if he will attend to that duty; and if there are secular men to whom he can entrust a portion at least of secular care, I think he would be wise in do= ing so. That the citizens of Rome are men who ought to be thus ontrasted, is A conclusion tit which y? anal, li7~lau t. la rii ti , - I have arrived, not merely from what I hare read, but from what I have learned from their own lips. I have, sir, mingled with them within the last two years. I have seen the national guard of Rome, assembled in costume as we are now, but having their belts upon them and their muskets at their side, two thousand strong. I have seen them, of all places in the world, within the quadrangle of the Vatican. I have heard the band of that national guard play their national air—what to them is their " God save the Queen,"—and I have heard these two thousand, with belts upon them and muskets by their side, sing in the courts and under the walls of the Vatican, the hymn of liberty. It was a strange sight to see, sir ; and I have not a doubt but that these men have as sincere a passion for a wise self-govern ment as any two thousand men who could be called up from the most favoured sections of Liverpool or Manchester, to be the national guard of those towns. —(Loud applause.) There is that about them which would surprise many Englishmen. There is an ap pearance of intelligence, and an air of educated self reliance about them, which one is delighted to look upon. And so they stood, beneath the deep blue of an Italian sky, the rich golden light of an Italian sunset setting upon them, and their wives and their betrothed ones, and their sisters and their children, all, as they sang, joining in the exultation. Sir, I have thought since that time of the mangled bodies of many of these citizens, fallen by French bullets and French bayonets—(" Shame, shame")—and I have gone home to the place where these men dwelt, and pictured to my mind the widowhood and orphanage, and the bereft feeling approaching almost to madness, and as I have done this I have been ready to say, "Oh, France" —[The Rev. Doctor here stopped, and after a pause said]—but perhaps I had better not say it. This, however, I will say, I w ou ld ra ther see this good ship of ours, that we call " Old England," go down next hour beneath the waves of the sea, and have my place upon her deck, to disappear with her for ever, than see her riding out the boisterous element as she has hitherto done, to contract a blot upon her escutcheon like that which stains the shield of France.—(The meeting here rose, and con tinued cheering and waving of hats for some time.) There is a hope, sir, in a response like that.— (Re newed cheering.) I don't bate—and I am glad to see that you do not bate—a jot of heart and hope, not withstanding the cloud that may be rolling about us. I believe that Hungary cannot become a depen dent of Russia. I believe that Italy never can be ruled as it has been ruled of late, and that we have only to be faithful to our vocation as . the professed friends of freemen, to take our place as we ought, on its behalf, checking its vice with a fidelity that we have a right to exercise, but strengthening its virtues with all the might we can. In fact, we have only to attend to the mission that appertains to us, as men of a country that is known in connexion with the names of Elizabeth and Cromwell—(Cheers)—with the names of Alfred and Hampden, of Russell and of Sydney; we have only to catch the mantle which these departed ones have left to us, and still our coun try will discharge her trust and her great leadership as the champion for right against might—the cham pion of good against evil, and of the oppressed against the oppressor."—(The whole assemblage here rose, and their enthusiastic and tumultuous cheering and waving of hats continued for some time.) THE MURDER AT BERMONDSEY. The following are the only additional particulars which %se can communicate respecting this exciting event. Officers belonging to the detecti►e force have been sent to France and Germany in pursuit of Man ning and his wife, the former having been traced to the South Western, and the latter to the South Eastern Railway stations. The female has further been traced as far as Syden ham, where on Tuesday night last she was inquiring for lodgings; but beyond this all trace of either hus band or wife is lost. It is said that the murder could not have been per petrated upon the 9th, as was at first supposed, be cause the deceased was on the 11th in the City, and as it is rumoured, received some money. The utmost exertions are being made by the police to capture the murderers. Shortly after eight o'clock last night information was given at the various metropolitan police stations that Manning had, on Saturday, the 11th instant, cashed a SOL cheque, drawn by the deceased O'Connor on the Bank of England, where he kept an account, and for which Manning received five 101. Bank of England notes, the numbers of which are 67,372, 67,373, 67,374, 67,375, and 67,376, dated 11th of June, 1849. A notice to this effect was at once issued, which also cautioned the public against chang ing the above mentioned notes, and requesting that, should they be presented, immediate information might be given at the Metropolitan Police Office, Great Scotland-yard. SOUTHAMPTON, ELEVEN P.M., MONDAY. - Two London detective officers, Langley and another, who had come down last Saturday, went out early this morning to signalize the Victoria, which hove in sight at seven o'clock, A.M., but shortly returned, stating that the signal given to her to heave too was for some reason either disregarded or not seen, and she pro ceeded on her destination. At four o'clock a tele graphic message from Mr. Inspector Haynes, of the London detective force, was received by Langley, to the effect that immediate pursuit was necessary to board the Victoria. Langley, it appears, had been sent (lowa by the Commissioners of Police in conse quence of having a perfect knowledge of both the parties suspected of the murder, he having had them under his surveillance, on suspicion of being connected with the mail robberies on the Great Western Rail way, in January last ; and when he found by the telegraphic dispatch that from the information which had been received in London there was no doubt that one if not both of the suspected parties were on board, he immediately communicated with the authorities of the dockyard, and the admiral forthwith ordered the Fire Queen, Government steamer, to get up her steam and proceed in chase of the Victoria. At ten o'clock Langley and another officer went on board the Fire Queen, and she immediately steamed out to sea. THE EXPLOSION at the LETTLY SHENKIN COLLIERY. ABERDARE, SUNDAY.—The inquiry opened on Friday concerning the recent fearful loss of life at the Lettly Shenk!n Colliery, was continued yesterday till a late hour in the evening at the Town hall. David Evans, a collier, was called and examined— I have worked at the Let ly Shenkin Colliery about eleven months. I was there on Friday, the day of the explosion, cutting coal for the flue (furnace). It was between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. I both heard and felt the shock, as it knocked me down over a barrow, which I was wheeling out. There was no gas that I could detect where I worked. Having got up, I went towards the flue, and before I could draw the fire out, I fell down with other men insensible from the effects of the after damp. This was at the bottom of the ,pit. About ten minutes previously he received a message from David Thomas to put out the fire. This occupied about half an hour to do it effectually. Cannot say what was the cause of the accident. Jonah Davis was next examined—ls -a collier, and on the day of the accident worked in the furthermost dip in the lower level. I was in the stall crossing a tram when I heard the explosion. I put out my can dle and then went on towards the pit's mouth, but returned in consequence of the great heat. I went back along the level, and sat down by Thomas Phil lips. I met all who worked in the dip, and some went down the lower level to escape; they perished. I blew out my candle immediately after the explosion, lest the gas should reach it. The other men's candles were out—they all went out together. Never heard of any fatal accident in this pit. John Morgan examined—At the time of the ex plosion I was at work in my stall. Immediately I heard it I put out my light. In going along the level, I saw two or three of the men, and spoke to them. I went with William Williams, and kept with him until I became insen s ibl e f rom the effects of the damp. I recollect nothing more that then transpired, and I presume that I was carried out by the men w hob came down the pit. There alw ays appeared ,to e plenty of air where I worked. Always worked with candles or Baked lights. John Homes was next sworn—While I was at work in the pitf tlbe heardss u l p c p a e r r ri l e e d vel a . There were several men light to the top o with lights there. I t o ld croi.g the and e xpl i o n s t i o the on. them to blow them out, as there was a g ood deal of su lphur about. The proceedings were here adjourned till Monday morning. REPRESENTATION OF THE WESTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF SURREY. -Mr, W. J.

" Sra,—llaying suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attaoks of the , gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and Inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON."

Reader, remember, this letter was put int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstime, of the Herbary, High ;ate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than T ever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase en I is. bottle If they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste.
