COBDEN - AT LEEDS.-THE WAR. Yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, Mr. Cobden, M.P., visited his constituents at Leeds. It had not been dis guised that the object of the hon. member's visit was to address the electors on the subject of the war. The peace party,'-being favourable to his views, took in hand the management of the meeting, and by placards and other means for several, days previously very copiously spread abroad , their sentiments ; and, in short, left no means un tried to turn the popular feeling into the .peace current, with what success our report shows. The meeting was first convened to be held in the Music Hall, Phut its incapacity to accommodate the large masses who flocked there, soon rendered necessary an adjourn ment td the extensive area of the Coloured Cloth Hall yard. The meeting was one of the largest political assem blies over congregated in the borough, and included many' of the leading men of all parties. Several thousand per sons remained through a. protracted meeting, in, defiance of a coating of snow and very intense cold. Alderman CA.RIPUTT, a leading West Riding Liberal, and chairman of Mr. Cobden's committee at the last elec rion, presided. - • THE FARMERS' AND AGRICULTURAL IsEWSPAPER is " THE MAGNET."

THE FRENCH LOAN. The subjoined circular, relating to the French loan, has been issued by Messrs. Baring. Messrs. Rothschild have given a notification of a similar kind, with the ex ception that the hours fixed by them are between 12 and 3 : " Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. beg to inform the subscribers on their list to the French loan of 500,000,000 f. that, having received advice last evening from Paris of the whole loan being taken by the individual applications in France for 500 f. rentes and under, there will be no division to make to other parties. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. are, therefore, ready to pay back the deposit of 10 per cent. on and after to-morrow, the 18th inst., between the hours of 11 and 3 o'clock, at their counting-house, No. 8, Bishopsgate-street Within, on production of the receipt given for the same. " Jan. 17, 1855." The fact of the whole of the sums lodged As deposits on the English applications for the French loan being thus immediately reimbursable is extremely opportune, since the long continued pressure of a high rate of inte rest in the London market is leading to daily suspensions on the part of firms who have become compromised in the revulsion of the Australian trade and the distress in the United States. Another feature connected 'with this loan of a satisfactory kind, as far as concerns the general course of money, is that, from the humble nature of the individual subscriptions composing the large aggregate of 20,000,0001., a certainty may be en tertained that hoards .of metallic currency will be drawn into active use from the French population which had been the slow accumulation of years, and which but for this temptation would still have remained dormant. IMPROVEMENTS NEAR TAE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. —Some alterations have just been completed in Palace yard, which will tend very much to the convenience of members and others attending the Houses of Parlia ment, as well as those who have business to transact in the courts of law. To a person wishing to cross, no place presented so many difficulties as Palace-yard, arising from the number of vehicles 'which were con stantly being driven backwards and forwards s during the Parliamentary session and the sitting of the courts. The west, or exposed, side has now been railed in, with the exception of two portions, one for the entrance and.the other for the exit of vehicles. Several dozens of lamps have been erected in the centre and at various other parts of the yard, so that the difficulties in the way of the travellers progress—difficulties so well known to those whose duties call them to the spot at night—will be removed. On the south side of the yard a large and substantial shed, though not very ornamental, has been erected in rainy weather as a shelter for members' horses. The CHAIRMAN, in the course of 801:116 introductory ob servations, said that in taking the . chair he was placed in a somewhat anomalous position, for it was the general practice to elect to the chair a gentleman whose opinions more or less harmonised with the promoters of the meeting. He, however, had the misfortune to differ on this occasion from their worthy representative, Mr. Cobden. So strong was this feeling that when Mr. Cobden communicated to him in the first instance respecting his desire to address a public meeting in Leeds on the aspect or the present war, he informed a number of Mr. Cobden's friends, who came to thrainimous opinion that it was not desirable, at the present juncture of affairs, that a public meeting should be held upon the subject. Mr. Cobden had, however, deter mined to come; and though they might differ from his opinions, none of them could doubt the sincerity of Mr. Cobdeia's convictions-- (Hear, hear.) He knew that in coming amongst them he was coming to oppose the current of public opinion, and they therefore must admire his honesty and his manliness. (Hear, hear, and uproar.) In addition to his being one of the. members for the West Riding, the great services which he had rendered to the country gave him a paramount claim to a patient and a candid hearing, which he hoped they would accord to him. Clamour never put clown the voice of truth, but clamour and persecution might give strength to a bad cause ; and if they determined not to hear Mr. Cobden, the conclusion that would be arrived at in Russia would be that they dare not hear him. During Mr. Carbntt's speech he was continually intel rupted with cries of " Adjourn, adjourn," and a motion was proposed and seconded, that the meeting should be adjourned to the Cloth Hall-yard. At the close of Mr. earbutt's remarks, the meeting was adjourned to that place. • Mr. COBDEN on rising was received with very slight ap plause. He said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I have not had the least idea whatever that you would fail to give me a fair and candid hearing. I knew when I came here that I should be addressing a majority of those prepossessed against my opinions, and that is the very reason why 1 came. (Hear, hear.) If I had thought that the views I take on the present crate of public matters were universally shared by the constituency of the West Riding, where would have been the necessity of my coming down to con fer with you? I have been here when there has been a great amount of unanimity amongst you—amongst a great political party of the West Riding oa the current political affairs of the day; and if I found it right and proper to come down under such circumstances, and hear from my friends and constituents words of congratulation or encou ragement on my conduct and convictions, how much more is it my bounden duty, as a representative of the West Riding, to come here and state honestly my conscientious opinions, when I believe that my opinion, may not be shared in by all ? How much more, then, is it my duty to come here to listen to you, or any of your respected, chiefs who stand beside me, and are prepared to contro vert nay opinions, and state here the convictions which they may entertain ? And, gentlemen, when my respected friend, the chairman, forewarns you and me that we are to have a very discordant meeting, and that there is a general predominance of feeling against my views and opinions, I rather think . that he has a little anticipated the business of this meeting. If you please, we will first of all ascertain exactly what my opi nions are on the question that you take the most interest in at the present time, and we will try next to elicit your opinions from you. I am uOL coma here simply to talk of the history or origin of the war we are unhappily engaged in. • That is a question which cannot longer affect the ar gument, for the war is in existence, and we have to deal with it as we now find it. By talking of the history of Russia or turkey, and going into blue - books which deal with the origin—slways obscure—of this war, encased as it is in diplomatic correspondence, by doing this we shall not prevent the war. It is in existence, and we must look at it as being so ; but I, as a member of Parliament, have to vote on every matter brought before me. I have, as a member of the House of COmmons, to provide for you the sinews of war. I cannot avoid voting the money necessary to carry on the wsir if it is to be carried on. The most impor tant question in the next session is, how and in what man ner are we to carry on the war? And I agree that if England is to have a war you cannot have a little war; but you must carry it on with that vigour and energy which be comes such a nation as this; but to do this will require money, and not a farthing will come except by a vote of the House of Commons. I have just said that I must say " Yea" or " No" to every proposition that comes before me in Parliament, and I now want a few words with you upon the question of those supplies with which we are to carry on this war. I think your Government, axed even Mr. Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, much as I respect his character, have rather lent themselves to the delusion that they could indulge the people of this country in a cheap war. Mr. Gladstone told the Heine of Com mons that he wanted but ten millions. We voted him ten millions. You have had an opportunity of judging how that money has been spent; and you Can judge now, if we are to carry on the war, what that money will do, and how long that money will last. Why, gentlemen, it is gone already. What, then, are we to do for the future? We are engaged in a war with Russia, and we have deter mined to carry it on upon Russian territory. Lot me put the question the other way. Suppose, instead of carrying on the war on Russian territory, Russia had determined upon the invasion of this country with 100,000 men. Be fore you had had a single man landed, you would have had a levy en masse, and have voted fifty millions to pay for the war. But let n] e tell you that to carry' on a war in Russia is far more costly than to carry on a war against Russia in our own territory, and I want you to let me know what are your wishes in reference to the way in which money shall be raised. (Laughter, " Hear," and a voice, " Oh, we'll raise it somehow," and a cry, " Come to the question.") I will come to the other question in time enough—the question of the conduct of the war. But I say there are two or three views on this subject of rais ing money. Some say that we should have a loan ; others say we should have direct taxation; others, again, say we should have indirect taxation. Now I have come to tell you frankly my opinion on this matter. I look with great alarm upon the renewal of our system of funded debt. I look with great apprehension to the recommencement of the system of loaning. I think the labour of the country is sufficiently mortgaged already. The question is not whether you shall burden yourselves and posterity for this viar, but whether you should burden yourselves and your children. Most of you present, I have no doubt, have children, and it is money which you or your children will have to pay. I regard it as pretty nearly the same thing to me whether I pay the money myself or borrow it to be repaid by my children. It is a dangerous thing to give Government too great facilities for raising money, as you are very likely to find that you are spending it much too fast, because you are raising it too easily. It is whole some to have, a check ; whether during peace or war, it is a good principle, and a wholesome check, that we should not find money too easily. Especially good is this prin ciple when the money is required to carry on a war. It is a provision of Providence itself that there should be diffi culty surrounding a war—that hardships, and dangers, and sacrifices are necessary to and inseparable from war—so that every country may feel it to be beneficial to avoid these difficulties. You must, however, raise the money to carry on the war. If you come to the question of direct taxation, I have no hesitation in saying that in theory I would have this money raised by direct taxation, be cause that money is raised at the least possible expense in collecting. It does, I believe, the least injury to trade and commerce. But we all know that on the present scale of the income tax you cannot raise sufficient to carry on the war, but you must lower the range of the tax ; you must tax lower incomes, and you must divide it between direct and indirect taxation. But, gentlemen, I should be very sorry to see taxes laid on those commodi ties which aro required in the production of manufactures or necessary for the commerce of this country. I should be very sorry to see that, and I tell you frankly that I shall in every case where possible vote for direct taxation instead of indirect taxation. Now, gentlemen, with reference to the war itself. I have told you that I am not going to detain you with a long historical account of the origin of this war. But I must say that I take exception to a remark made by the chairman, when he seemed to consider that I was going to address you, and ask your verdict as the champion of the abstract principle of peace at all price. This is rather unfair, that we should be made responsible for opinions which we have never avowed, professed, or entertained. (Hear, hear.) There is a respectable body of Christians in this country—a body of Christians very in iittentiel by their character, if not by their uttraborrs--who put an interpretation on the Scriptures, that war under any circumstances is cont rary t o t h e W or d o God. But these gentlemen themselves have never attempted to prase theii opinions upon the' policy of this country ; and I j must state th it they have been the first 'to tell me to dis avow participation in their doctrines. I have been told by members of the Society of Friende to disavow their opinions, because they knew that I should lees allinfluence, by advocating those principles, on the public mind. Let' us discuss this matter up on th e question o f po li cy, an d the question of policy alone. Nov, gentlemen, my first objec tion to this war has been the delusive, and, I had almost.' laid, the fraudulent pretences under which it has been made pepulate in this country, (Hear, hear.) , I mean that the feelings of the people have been raised into enthusiasm in favour of this war, by being allowed to entertain the belief that it was to effect what I' knew and felt that at all events it never was intended to effect. (Hear.) Now, gentleman, will anybody here ven ture to deny that, twelve or fifteen months ago, when the' first excitement iu favour of the war with Russia took place—will anybody deny that it was carried forward, that the voice of the people of this country in favour of the war with Russia was gained by the prevalent belief that it had for its object to give freedom to struggling communi ties on the continent, and that it would have foe its 'effect to put a check upon the proceedings of Russia, with re ference to its invasion of Hungary, its conquest of Circassia, and oppression of other countries? Does anybody deny that the prevalent opinion was that in going to war against Russia we were having inscribed on our banners the re construction of Polish nationality? (" Hear," and " No.") Well, gentlemen, I have said that in the House of Com mons, from what my noble friend, Lord Dudley Stuart has said, I know very well that he, and those who act with him, were of opinion that this war was such an one as I have referred to, namely, that it &jelled at restoring liberty to Poland--:(No, no)e--and the restoration of the nation ality of other fallen states. Now, gentleinen, I have never . viewed it in that light, for I never believed it would lead to any such consequences. (Hear., hear.) I have looked on this war as a-war of policy only. I have looked on it as a political war, a war of diplomatists and statesmen, not carried on in the names of nationality or of freedom at all. (No, no.) It is a war, in other words, and in the fewest words I can use, it is a, war in which we have a despot for an enemy, a despot for an ally, and a despot for a client— • (No, no)—and we have been for twelve months trying to make an ally of another despot and have not yet succeeded. Hear, hear.) Why, gentlemen, if you take a map of Europe (and I wish I had one of those gigantic skeleton 'naps to hang up before you) if yeti take a look at the coun tries that border on that gigantic empire, Russia, you will find that from the Baltic to the Black Sea there is lying athwart that empire and between you—Austria and Prussii, end the whole Germanic confederation, who can in six weeks call out a million of bayonets ; and I mean to say if Russia menaces the liberties of Europe they will be the first to suffer. What I doubt is, therefore, whether you have not been precipitate in departing from the ground you occupied in common with Austria and Prussia, and in going to war with Russia, leaving them in a state of peace. do say, therefore, if you had Opt common ground with them—for they are the parties most, interested—all Ger many would have been resolute in the end to prevtnt Rus sia encroaching upon them, and' you might have saved that blood—(no, no)—and that treasure which I am afraid you are going to shed. (Is the war just?) I was going to say that, with regard to the jus tice of the war my friends here —some of them—have taken up the ground that I have been opposed to the war on the ground that it, is not a just one. As between Russia and !turkey, I hive again and again stated in the House of Commons—and my friend, Mr. Bright, has stated the same thing most emphaticaily—(aeans)—th a t as between the Russian Government and the Turkish Government, there is no doubt Turkey had right on her side—that Russia invaded Turkey, and was the first to invade the territory of the Turkish Government—therefore, if Turkey chose, she had a fair cases bold fn. going to war w ith Rus sia. But the reserve I make is this that Russia, making: an attack on Turkey, is not making an attack on us— (groans)—and though we have a right, if we please, to mix in that qu , rrel, and to take side with Turkey, yet we are not at all times called on to go to war immediately in defence of any country—(no, no)—because, if so, it in volves us, in principle, in the necessity of going to war whenever there is a quarrel, and tating the side which wa believe to be right. (No, no.) Fell, then, I come to the conclusion that you don't adopt his principle that we are to go to war in all cases where injustice is done to an other country. That doctrine would be hazardous in the extreme; and would place you under such responsibilities as, I feaz, considering the resources of this country, we could not meet. I venture to repeat the opinion which I o predicted some time ago, and which I am persuaded willccupy, at no distant period, much of the attention of this country;' and any one who has visited Turkey will agree with me when I say that I think you have this diffi culty, that there is in Turkey a government which does not represent a majority of the population of that country -- and here I would appeal to the democratic principles of gentlemen present. You have in Turkey in Europe 12,000,000 of people, of whom 8,000,000 are Christians and 4,000,000 are Mahornmedane. The latter domineer over the former, and deprive them of all their privileges. The Turk might commit any barbarity on the Chris tian, and if there was no Mahominedan witness of it there would be no punishment of the offence. Any one who has been in the country will corroborate me when I say that if you would poll the whole papule time of Turkey by universal suffrage, you would fiat a vast number vote against you on the war question and in favour of the Emperor of Russia. (No, no.) There is no doubt of that. What is the complaint we univer sally hear? We hear that Greek Christians are all opposed to the English, and that we have been obliged to remove them from Balaklava because they are hostile to us. The Greeks residing in England have boon all ege d t o b e so hos tile, that they have been warned to be more careful in the expression of their sympathy with Russia. (Hear, hear. ) It is a fact and au element in this difficult case, and I wish you to consider it. You should bear in mind this is an im portant element in the complicated and difficult question, that your are dealing with a Government differently consti tuted to all other Governments in Europe, and to the Got veruments of all other civilised nations; because it re presents but a small portion of its people, and because it has a large majority of Christians there opposed to you; and it is from this circumstance that you are trammelled and hamp ered in your operations, betauseyou get no assistance from, the Christian part of the population in the Crimea. There are a great number of Christians there, and they will not give information to our generals; hence it arises that at this moment our generals in command scarcely know the names of the generals opposed to them and the number of troops they have to operate against. These are very important difficulties, because we have not to deal with an ordinary state of things, where the country and population and Go vernment are homogeneous and united; but we are dealing' with an enemy lik:Russia, and then conies up the ques tion of internal divisions and difficulties of Turkey, and how we propose to meet them. The proposition mede by our own in conjunction with the French Government is, that instead of Russia interfering to protect the Christian population in Turkey, it is that the five great powers should have the right of interference. But it involves a difficulty which embarrasses this question, and we cannot deal with it as with an ordinary aggression. (Hear, hear.) will have shortly to claim a little " beneficial interest" in th e matter. (Laughter.) I No doubt others in the fray have no doubt that Russia, for her own selfish interest, has been interfering with the national affairs of Turkey; but, by your'adopting the same principle, you go very far in justifying in the eyes of the rest of the world the courssehe has-adopted. (" Hear, hear, and "Gammon.") I don't like the position we have oc c upi e d f or another reason — we deal only with Governments, no t w i th people. (C h eers. ) We do not care about interfering in a country where the interference is intended to benefit the people interfered 'with by their Government. Who interfered with a bad Government, as in the case of the French at Rome, or the Russians iu Hungary, when a Government trampled upon the people, and attempted to put them down ? Thus it is that when we interfere with a country we take side with the Government against the people. There may be policy in all this, but it tends to withdraw the question from the category of justice. There is a great deal to be said on both sides with regard to this interference in Turkey— are we not going to do the same thing as the Emperor of Russia? Now, with regard t o the justice of this war. Our friends, no doubt, in dealing with the question, will dwell upon the subjects of the origin and importance of the war—how it was carried on. I think with all parties here there will be no difference of opinion about that— that all will agree that a more wretched expose of our system of administration in military affairs, a more clear illustration of the total breakdown of the aristo cratic system of routine when brought to any strain or stress, could not have been illustrated. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) We have the admission of the re presentative of Government in the House of Commons that a great mistake had been made in sending an army to .the Crimea to take Sebastopol; and I heard a Minister of the Crown say that all parties were mistaken, in estimating the strength of Sebastopol. I heard it treated with as much nonchalance as though the speculation at hazard involved only a couple or shillings in the result. A "mistake" involving the homicide of thousands and tens of thousands of men ! Why was there such a " mistake," which was in every way so deplorable ? Why was not all e r r o y ll gu and drawings of of every the information obtained with respect to th e ac t ua l condi tion and strength of Sebastopol ? I will und er t a k e t o say muster rv- were taken t o that a shrewd Leeds man, entrusted with 10,0001 . an d sent to Constantinople, would findthe means of getting ery informa tionmaatha —they w e h f everywhole emightpla place, obtain kind—informationbtaifiat the e oven prtoha p proper rm precautions get at them.- The idea of sending such an army was 'a leap in the dark, and throughout "a mistake." Now, I am of opinion, that the mistake .was not merely in estimating the strength of Sebastopol ; it was a mis take to go to Sebastopol at all, under any circuni stances. (Hear.) We h ave gone 3,000 miles to attack an empire containin g 60,000,0t0 of people, and with an army of 600,000 or 700,000 men, and send 20,000 or 30,000 men, I must think—and I believe you will all think, with a fulsome self-gratification—as that with which some organs of the press talked about annihilating that empi re — as frivolous and childish. (Cheers.) My opinion is th a t th e extinguishment of Sebastopol was a mistake ; it is ac knowledged to be, mistaken so far that it w as a "leap in the dark," and I think the principal question for English meny—we must find an immense to deal with now is, how you are best to get out of that mistake. (hear.) If eve are going to fight it out there, then I say the course hitherto pursued by' the Go vernment is wholly inadequate to the object in view. We posit i on i n which, bY mistake, they have been amountmus t raise a f an treasure—and carry on the war in the Crimea on a very different scale to what we have hitherto afgagiretriaetssedteohZeisider the done. (Hear,. hear.) Now, gentlemen, I think there is another way by which our brave men may be removed from that placed ; and I think, without consulting our own passions, and expecte atinadaal,oowkein posi tion of those bravo men, and not throw any obstacle in the way of restoring peace to this country anti those brave agratoobanaimuicihiato allex men 'to their homes. (Hear.) I would entreat them, when brought from Sebastopol, with all the consolation and honour as if they had succeeded, because we may depend upon it they have suffered ten times as much in the abor tive effort to besiege that place than if we had succeeded by a coup de main in taking.it. Is there no reason to sup pose that there is a possibility of effecting a safe 'and . honourable peace ? Is there not reason to suppose that at the present moment the Government has approximated to I to that data of thloga inthoir IlegdifitiOn B shat it iv:4g in possible to effect tame of honourable peace T. He a r o v po a s d i : dressed Mr. Edward Baines, understanding th ct ) 1. tion.was t o be submitted calling for a vigorous woittiwtig of the war. He had frankly told them that if the to be carried on at all, it must be carried on in a . 4 7 .6 8 e r n en d t s spirit than it hitherto bad been ; but he put it to h is Who represented so important a constituency, whet! he f r or not they would not be puttielte an obstacle in the pat peace—wheth e r they mfg et not he frustrating the j pct which Government desired to atthin—by Passing silch a solution as that? (No, no.) I own impression wa that if the r e was a s t ron g expression Of poblic feeling an favour of carrying on the war, it might ;..117 art the pro gress. of pacific negotiations. Moreover, our i:o. r ops ee i n_ t he Crimea were suffering-unheard-of miseries. Government and the administrative of the army or the sufferings of that arm The Government bad sent our brave men, the 'picked men of this country ; Veey had cast theirs on the The of an unknown land, where Pee/ did not know; the force they were going to be opposed tea, with no more provision made for their comforts than if they had been so many criminal convicts in this canary that we wished to get rid of. (Cries of hear, and ne, no.) He then referred to •- the' mortality from sickness in our army in the Crimea, quoting from a letter with reference to the 46th Regiment of Infantry, that when. the regiment landed on' the 18th of November it was 706 strong, that it joined a detachment of 101, that it received a draft afterwards of 31, making a total of 841 men ; now they were short of 300 effective men. The officer who gave him these details attributed this state of things to overwork in the trenches, wet, and insufficient food. Be it remarked that the 46th . Regiment had never seen the face of the enemy. Now, he asked them whether we were not bound to take into account—we who were comfortable at home—whether our calling for the carrying on of the war with vigour might not frustrate the effecting - an honourable peace ? Suppose Sebastopol Jenks taken, Lord John Russell had said they had no intention to oc cupy permanently, nor the intention of taking any part of the territory of Russia ; but what we wanted to do, ho (Mr. Cobden) firmly believed, was to destroy . Sebastopol as a point of honour; to be able to .say, " We did it," and then leave it. (L o ud c h eers an d laughter.) He asked them to consider what would be the consequences of the destroying Sebastopol ? The town might be blown up street by street and house by house, but iu all probability not without the loss of 10,000 of the Allied troops. It was our bounden duty, therefore, to consider whether the object to bo attained was worth-that sacrifice — especially when it was borne in mind that the object of the war was not for the diminution of the territorial power of Russia. (Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") It had been said that in this question a great principle of right was at stake ; but he said that as an abstract question of right and justice, we were not bound to go and fight the battles of anybody. The war was ono of policy, merely calculated for our own defence, and for nothing else. We were not fighting in favour of Turkey, but from the be lief, that if Russia succeeded in subjugating Turkey, eventually she would attack us. (Cheers ) Just so. That was the view he had always taken of the war, and that was precisely the view he liked to take of it, because it was really the only justifiable view of the case. There were gentlemen who would tell them perhaps that this was a great question of justice; that we were the judges, and that we were exercising a great act of justice in punishing a great criminal. (Cheers.) Now, if they would be candid enough to hear an opinion with regard to ourselves—he was au Englishman like themselves—they would acknow ledge that we were scarcely the men to be the judges in this matter. They would hear it asserted that Russia had takers territory from neighbouring countries. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") His friend Mr. Phut said, " Hear, hear." Well now, as an Englishman, he blushed for him self for this fact, which he would venture to state, that for every square mile of territory that Russia had taken from somebody else by force of arms during the last. 55 years, years, wo had taken five square m il es . - (Ch eers an d laughter.) He was glad to see them take the matter with so much good humour. We need not be afraid in Eng land to speak the truth, and we should have got en very fast towards despotism when a man would not be listened to that did not speak the truth conscientiously. It was stated that Russia had been encroaching latterly on the Turkish empire. It was a singular fact, but a fact notwith standing, that during the reign of the present Cz a-, he had not taken a slice of territory from Turkey, but one of the parties engaged in this war, in the cause of justice, had taken a large slice of Turkish territory, because it was well known that in 1830 France seizedon Algeria, a Turkish de pendency, and he believed that up to the present moment England had never acknowledged the right of France to Algeria, by sending a consul thither, because England did not wish to offend her ally on that point. Now, this being the case, and he knew his friend, Mr. Beiues, who was ono of the best debaters he knew, was coming after him—(cheers and laughter)—he knew what he (Mr. Baines) was going to say. He would say—" It's all very well, Mr. Cobden, your talking that way, but two blacks don't make a white." (Cheers and laughter.) Well, but let him remind Mr. Baines that he (Mr. Baines) sots out with—that we are the judges, and the Czar is the crimi nal, and that we are doing justice in tho interest of Europe and the whole civilised world. Now he (Mr. Cobden) thought before we mounted the judgment seat it was necessary that we should have clean hands. He did not think that a judge who was known to bo himself given to pilfering as much as the man in the dock was very likely to be sustained in that judgment seat by public opinion, or that he would be allowed to exercise the func tions of a judge for One day after that fact was discovered. Now, that was just the case—that was the predicament in which we placed ourselves when we took up thatargument about justice being executed by us upon the Czar. We took a position which the world did not recognise. He again asked them to be good humoured while he reminded ' them of one or two facts upon this point, because we might be assured that however complacently we laid our hands upon our hearts, and said—" Thank Heaven we are not as other men that take property that do not belong to them and seize upon their neighbour's territory" —we were not telling the truth. We had taken in India, from the Great Mogul, territory which comprised a population of 100 millions, nearly twice as many as the whole population of Russia ; seized upon territory at the Cape of Good Hope. What we had done there we had done with everybody else when we had had the opportunity. Other countries did not take us to be that immaculate people we alleged our selves to be; but believed we were just another Russia in that respect. (Cheers and laughter.) Just another Rus sia—nothing better—nothing worse. We had taken ter ritory wherever we though - , it was worth having, and the possessors were not sufficiently strong to prevent us. We found that not only did Russia not acknow ledge our authority as a judge, but, the rest of the world did not acknowledge it. Ho argued that if there had been any substantial cause for the fear of the liberty of Europe being menaced by Russia, the continental nations would have been the first to combine against Russia, whereas Belgium, Prussia, Sweden, Denmark, and Ame rica, all expressed it as their bounden duty to maintain a strict neutrality. Austria, who had had a very difficult game to play, had managed not to commit herself against the Czar. All this he w as sa yin g t o save a speec h from his friend Mr. Baines, and he wanted to ask them whe ther, in the face of these facts, any one would get up, either here or elsewhere, and pretend that we have a right to assume the position of an immaculate judge dealing with a prisoner. He contended wo were bound under these circumstances to consider the condition of our brave troops, and he confessed that his heart yearned for these men, and that he could not sleep at nights for thinking of them. Theirs was a case that counnauded all our sympathies. If they saw no permanent object to be gained by encourag ine Gueernrnent to continue this war—continuing it after they could obtain terms of a fair and honourable peace— they would have a great responsibility upon them, and he was sure that in less than twelve mouths they would look back with regret to the vote that they 'night this day give. lie then alluded to the threatened French invasion two or thee years ago, when it was said Louis Napoleon believed it to be his fate to avenge Waterloo, and he could not help it ; reminded them that he opposed that notion, for which ho was represented in one of the caricatures of the day with very long ears, looking into a cannon's mouth, and crying, " Peace, peace !" (Cheers and. laughter.) He referred also to the opposiion he gave to the claims of Don Pacifico, on behalf of whom England nearly went to war with Greece, and whose claim by arbitration was reduced from 26,0001. to 150/., recommended to he given to him in cha rity. Now, the misfortune was, that whenever he was right on these subjects, and those who opposed him were wromig, that he never heard them mention it afterwards. What ho complained of was, that after a year or two, people conveniently forgot all about these matters ; and when it was found that his opinion was the right one, no one took the trouble to remember it. He asked Mr. Baines to reflect whether, in taking a part in these pro ceedings, he would two years hence be able to look back with perfect satisfaction upon the vote which he was now about to call the meeting to give. At this moment the terms of peace were being arranged, and it was quite within the range of possibility that wo might hear by electric telegraph, before even these proceedings were finished, something decisive had been arranged with re gard to the project for peace. He remarked upon its being now the fashion to accuse the Czar of ambition and as an incarnation of all that was wicked, and referred to the private correspondence between Sir Hamilton Seymour, the Czar, and Lord John Russell, relative to the parti tion of Turkey, in which Lord John Russell panegyrised the character of the Czar, and Lord Clarendon, who spoke of the " word of his Imperial Majesty being pre ferable to any convention that could be framed." He said that it was such fulsome adulation that it sickened him (Mr. Coliden). In conclusion, the hon. member referred to the impossibility of keeping back Russian aggression by our present mode of warfare, attacking him in his own territory, citing the failure of Napoleon's expedition to Russia in proof of les views, and dwelt upon the miser able condition of Turkey as ground for belief that even if Russia did succeed in conquering Turkey, of which single handed there appeared very little chance, the country' would have required so much internal care and manage ment, that at all events for the next generation, which was 50 years, we had nothing to fear from Russia, and he should like to kuo .v from some actuary, taking into consideration the contingencies which surrounded the whole question, and which might arise during the next 30 years, what risk we ran from a Russian aggression on England. He thanked his hearers for giving him a patient and kindly hearing ' and then sat down, having spoken nearly one hour and a half. Mr. J. G. MARSHALL, late M.P. for Leeds, came forward to address the meeting. He said he was sure that no other man than one so popular as Mr. Cobden would have met with so patient a hearing as that hon. member had when ho had just addressed a meeting the majority of which did not agree with the hon. member's views on the war. He thought that Mr. Cobden's speech might bo divided into two parts, or rather that the honourable member had used two kinds of appeal to the meeting--the one was to the breeches pocket, and the ether was of a facetious charac ter. (Laughter.) Ho (Mr. Marshall) had no hesitation in declaring that the war with Russia was a just one, ' and that it ought to be prosecuted until an honourable peace could be obtained. Much had been said by Mr. Cobden about the abject and sad condition of the people living in the Turkish Empire. Now, there was no doubt that condition had improved, was improving, and would improve, unless Turkey should be over-run by the hordes of Russia. After replying to some parts of Mr. Cobden's speech, Mr. Marshall concluded by proposing the following resolution :—" That in ' the opinion of this meeting the war in which England and France are now engaged with Russia is a great contest, forced upon them by the entre , gem Pggrogion, of the latter rower upon the Turkish emi sire, and is intended to create a spirit of aggrandise me et on the part of the Czar which threatens the inde pen deuce of other nations, and this meeting is of opinion that; the war ought to • be prosecuted with the utmost vigour, until safe and honourable terms of peace can be obt: aned." (Applause.) • Mr. BAINES seconded' the resolution. When Mr. Cobs den stated his intention of coming down to the West Riding, his friends were desirous for his sake and for the sake of the country to avoid any appearance of difference of opinion ; but when Mr. Cobden deter-Reined to come, they then had to consider what was the position in which h is constituents would be placed if the public were led to ea pposethat those constituents agreed in opinion with Mr. Col scion regarding the war. His hon. friend had always talc( 'n a part in most strongly condemning the war, and in so doing-, he had opposed himself to the policy of the Go verns-um:it and the country. He stood, indeed, in an almost i se e a teel - position on this question ; but Mr. Cobden was hi mse lf Be great and distinguished a man, and had played • so large ants 1 important a part for so many years before the people f E nt eland and of Europe, that ho could not come down to addsess the constituency without the practical effect being to . stamp his opinions on th e ir mind; and thus far the effect woe'id be that they would operate upon the world, not merely with the weight of Mr. Cobden's name, but also with, the weight of the authority of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Jt was, therefore, no longer possible far them to listen in silen,ee to the address of Mr. Cobden, and they felt it their duty to declare that:, though the frimtds of peace, they yet looi:ed upon the war in which we were engaged as a just one, aid one dictated by sound policy.. (Hear a hear.) He was sure, as regarded the in- t terests of peace, that the resolution now proposed would h ave eez e .unfavourable effect . upon:- the Government. &et there- was another party to be consulted before they could lint e peace, and that was th o E m p eror o f Russia It was se,et .by . a resolution in f avour o f peace , b u t by a trong army e sin? sent to the Crimea th a t th e y cou ld wor k pen slowthe mind l of the Czar. (Cheers.) Th e t rue pl an was to be ng to war, but, once enga ge d i n a j us t war , to prosecute it e go with such vigour to an issue that their likely to renew it again. (H ear , he ar .) en that false and fraudulent reason s ene my would not bk . ' Mr. Cobden told the war, and one of these he said was, had been given for the that Poland was to be re -established. To that assertion the meeting had given the meet decisive negative that it was possible for a popular asseavibly to give. (Hear, hear.) ' Then he said he :cooked. upon it as a war ouly a policy. There ho (Mr. Baines) differed from him. He looked upon it as a war of policy indeed, but as a war in which the principles of right and justice were involved. (Cheers.) His lieu. friend next told them that the Ministers had pre cipitatMl the country into a war. Why, the only blame cast upon tiee Government hitherto had been that they were too sloe; going to war, many holding the opinion that war should h.sve been proclaimed when the Russian army crossed the Pruth. (Hear, hear.) Every species of argument and induceenent had beeu used by the Govern ment to induce Russia scot to attack Turkey, and war was not praclaimed till nine months after the Pruth had bean crossed, yet Mr. Cobden accused the Government of pre cipitating the country into a war ! (Hear, hear.) .His hon. friend admitted. that the war 'Yeas a just one as regarded Turkey against Russia. Now, they called it a just vrar in the resolution, and therefore he asked his hon. friend Mr. Cobden to vote for the resolution. (Laughter.) Mr. Cobden had dwelt in a way that he did not think very generous on the defects and difficulties found to exiet in the administration of the Turkish army. He did not think this was exactly the time to dwell on that subject, and he must say he would rather have heard him spend his splendid vocabulary of abuse on the Czar than the Turk. (Here the hon. gentleman quoted a passage from the pen of Mr. Cobden, iu which ho had characterised the ambi tion, &c., of the Czar in very strong terms, and observed, that systematic fraud, lying, and misrepresentation were the policy of the Russian Government.) (Laughter.) He should have liked to heat' some of this language applied now by his hon. friend to the conduct of Russia, but his condemnation was reserved entirely for Turkey. His hon. friend argued that if the five Powers exercised pro tection over the Christians of Turkey they would just be doing what they protested against as objectionable in Russia ; but that was not a correct view of the case, for, inthe first place, the five Powers could not lead away the subjects of a sovereign from their allegiance as one could ; and, in the next, all their interference on behalf of Chris tians of every denomination was to ,be by advice, and not by control. (Hear.) Mr. Cobden had made some strong remarks on the conduct of the war ; but into the details of the war, into the question whether the military operations had been ill or well conducted, it was net his intention to enter. He could easily believe that errors had been committed in the conduct of the war, but those errors were not the result of intention but of neglect. He did not defend the errors that had been committed, but he did not think the present was the time for considering that subject. (Hear.) Then Mr. Cobden said we had sent 30,000 men to invade Russia, but the fact was that, though we sent only 30,000, Franco also sent 30,000, which it in creased to 50,000 ; and he begged to remind him that the original intention was not to invade Russia. The armies that were sent out were sent not to invade Russia, but to defend Turkey, and it was not until the Turks had them selves driven the Russians from the banks of the Danube that Sebastopol was attacked. He (Mr. Baines) agreed that that attack was made by too small an army, and he thought the Government ought to have had more informa tion on the subject than they seemed to have possessed. (Hear.) Mr. Cobden had said that England was ill qualified to be a judgein this matter, because, within theelast 50 or or 100 years, she had added a larger extent of territory *) tho British dominions than Russia had annexed to her empire, but it must be remembered that our eastern acqui sitions were not intended for politioal but for commercial purposes. As a European State, Begland had not only made no acquisitions of territory during the last century and a half—except Malta and the lonian Islands—but she had not listened to suggestions to make such ac.: quisitions. He (Mr. Baines) had invariably been the advocate of peace, but he supported the resolution in the belief that they had reached a great national and European crisis ; and that England was bound to take her part with France and the other countries of Europe in set ting a limit to the ambitious aggressions and aggran disement of the Emperor of Russia. Mr. Baines com plained that the correspondence of Lord John Russell and Lord Clarendon with reference to the Eastern question had been unfairly quoted by Mr. Cobden, and he cited the despatches to show that the policy of the Emperor of Russia, which Lord J. Russell described as wise and bene ficial to Europo, was that which his Imperial Majesty "had so long followed" previous to the secret correspondence, and not that which the Emperor at that time proposed to follow. Ho regarded this as a great and important crisis, when a league was being formed which might affect tho destinies of Europe for ages to come. For the last cen tury and a half the attitude in which Russia had presented herself to Europe was that of an ambitious, encroaching, and selfish Power, while she was at the same time the most despotic, intolerant, and barbarous of European. nations. Nothing was therefore more to be deprecated than that Russia should acquire a predominant influence among the continental Powers. After referring to the insolent proceedings of Prince Menschikoff .during his mission to Constantinople, Mr. Baines observed that he had been surprised to he a r Mr. Cobden say that the whole of Europe differed from the policy of this country, while all those European Governments—including Austria, Prussia, and Sardinia—that had spoken on the subject had declared that England was in the right and Russia in the wrong. Mr Cobden had said that Russia was not for midable for purposes of aggression, whereas she bad swal lowed up one-half of Sweden, two-thirds of neand, large provinces in Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia; she had taken from Persia tracts as large as England, and had annexed immense territories in Tartary. For years and ages the grand object of Russia had been to col lect vast armies and fleets, and to build fortresses and ar senals, with the view of foreign conquest and aggression. These great preparations had been formidable to Europe, and he thought this was a policy which ought to be re pressed. He know there were gentlemen present who would vote against the resolution. They did so on religious grounds, and their opposition ought, therefore, to be re spected. They would have acted exactly in the same man ner if, instead of having crossed the Pruth, the Russians had landed in the Humber. (Laughter.) They would have given the same vote had the Cossacks been in Leeds and Sheffield, and had a proclamation been issued, as in Wal lachia, to pay all taxes in future, not to the Queen's, but to the Russian Government. (Laughter.) These gentle men acted from religious convictions, and therefore they opposed war under all and any circumstances. (Hear.) He could not sit down without expressing his satisfaction at the admirable hearing which Mr. Cobden had received, which was just such as he expected would be given at a meeting held in the town of Leeds. (Hear.) Mr. JOHN JOWETT, jun., a member of the Society of Friends, moved an amendment to the effect that this meet ing, without expressing an opinion on the present war with Russia, expresses a hope that the proposed negotiations for peace will be successful, and no mere blood be shed. Mr. J. PRIESTHAN, of Bradford, another member of the Society of Friends, seconded the amendment. Mr. R. M. MILNES, M.P., supported the original motion. He regretted that the occasion for the meeting had oc curred, because he feared it might go out beyond the con fines of this empire that there was a difference in the minds of the people of England as to the propriety of proceeding with the war. If the war was an unjust one, we had no thing to do but to withdraw our army and our fleet from the Crimea without snaking any condition at all, and quietly submit to the terms of the Czar. But that was too absurd, and even Mr. Cobden himself did net advise it. No one, at the same time, supposed that the people of Leeds and of the West Riding were not in favour of peace, but the large preponderance of the people of England. were 'opposed to asking peace of the Emperor of Russia. Mr. Cobden had said that the eastern world would come into the hands of the Christian population, and would not be governed by the Turks. That fact, in a certain degree, reconciled him (Mr. Milnes) to the misery of the present war, because he hoped that the Christian population of the East would soon be able to develope their capabilities and the resources of the country in a natural manner, and growing up into independent nations, would remove them selves from the rule of the power of Russia, which power and rule was one of the greatest calamities that could befall a country. (Applause.) After comparing the despotism of Turkey and the despotism of Russia, and showing that the former was of a weak character and the latter very strong, Mr. Milnes said, the power of Russia was a mere children's question of geography, for in the North they might see her position both in Europe and Asia. Russia sought to get possession of both the Sound and the Dardanelles, towards both of which her empire approached. Let her but get both of these, and then let the people of England soo if it would be possible to prevent Russia forcing her way over the vast continent of Europe, and to prevent an increase of her power which it was most awful to con template.- (Hear.) It was well that Mr. Cobden had been allowed to make his speech in silence. It was wise that a moderate resolution had been proposed by Mr. Marshall for adoption by the meeting. Those who had drawn up that resolution did not wish to continue the war a single moment longer than was necessary, nor did they express any opinion on the way in which the war had hitherto been conducted. For his (Mr. Milnes's) own part, he should . )?o glad if Aix. Cobden, would go out to the edam 44 °°lll. 1854.1 1855. Great activity is beir du ;played by all the department concerned in their equ, 'pint •nt to expedite for renewed, service the Blenheim am. 13 .ogue bloekships, the linpd rieuse and Arrogant sure w :frigates, and to fit for com mission the two new bloc, cskips Hastings and Pembroke.

The Royal mail s team ship Severn, Captain Gillies, which arrived at South ampton on Sunday with the Brazilian mails has been taken up by the British Government. She will be ready for sea by the beginning of next week, and is to convey troops and stores to the East. The Avon, chartered ship, undergoing repairs, is also to be ready .as quickly as possible. Should this ship be again required for Ad miralty purposes , there will be, it is presumed, no mail steam-ships from outhampton to the Brazils neict month. MILITARY. Yesterday afternoon three of the most nirtmerous draughts of recruits and volunteers that have loft the metropolis since the commencement of the war pro ceeded to join the provisional battalions at Canterioury, Chatham, Brotnpton, Winchester, Portsmouth, and Parkhurst, Isle of Wight. The draughts consisted of nearly 200 men ; of these 47 were enlisted in the metro polis. In addition to the above, 35 fine young fellows for the Household brigade arrived at the Horse Guards. Forty-seven young fellows, none •f whom are under 5 feet 7 inches in height, ,who have enlisted for cavalry regiments, were sent to the cavalry depots at Canter bury, Maidstone, and Newbridge. The depOt of the 13th Regiment (Light Dragoons), about 200 in number, under the command of Captain Holden, have arrived at Dorchester from Brighton, and taken up their quarters in the barracks in the former town. It issaid that a detachment of this regiment will shortly be sent out to the Crimea. Captain Adair, of let Somerset Regiment of Militia, is endeavouring. to obtain volunteers for the Guards in the neighbourhood of Taunton. Independently of the bounty offered by Government, he has announced his in tention of making a present of 101. to each man, and 21. to nay man inducing another to enlist. The undersigned officers at Chatham Garriison have obtained leave of absence for the periods stated :—Capt. William 111'Leod, 74th Highlanders, to the 14th of February ; Captain Codd, 99th, to the 9th of March ; Captain Mountain, Royal Artillery, to the 30t1r. inst. ; and Captain Hubert V.

On Tuesday the men of the West Suffolk Militia as. sembled, when the Colonel, Earl Jermyn, addressed them, and 70 immediately stepped forward to join the regular regiments of the line. The corps is nor under active drill at Bury St. Edmund's. A DUTCHMAN IN COLLISION. The bark La Bourse D'Anvers, Captain Coppenballe, from Antwerp fcr Havannah, was towed into Ports mouth harbour yesterday morning disabled. She ar rived at Spithead on Thursday night in tow of the Morna screw steamer, from Belfast for London, with which vessel she had been in collision, at 6 p.m., on Tuesday, Beachey Head bearing E. by N. distant about eight miles. Laßourse D'Anyers had her foremast car ried away, is cut down to the water's edge on the star board side, is leaky, and has thrown a portion of her cargo overboard. The Morna has damaged her port bow, lost bowsprit, jibboom, and fignrehead, but after towing the bark to Spithead, she proceeded on her voyage to London. SHIPBUILDING ON THE WEAR. The annual returns of shipbuilding on the Wear have just been made up. They show that. during 1854 the number of vessels launched was 151, with an aggregate tonnage of 66.929, being one ship less than in 1853, and a decrease in tonnage of 1,550. The average tonnage of each ship was 4431 ; for 1853 it was 450 k per ship. One third of the whole amount of tonnage launched was sold to London owners, the number of vessels being 41, a de. crease of one ship on the number sent to the Thames in 1853. One-fourth of the tonnage for 1854 was pur chased in Sunderland, and the remainder went to New castle, Shields, Liverpool. and other ports. The pros pects of the trade for 1855 are not quite so cheering at present as at this time last year, when there were 96 vessels on the stocks, with an aggregate tonnage of 46,000. In tho first week of this year the number of vessels building was only 76, with a tonnage of 34,610. SUDDEN DEATH.—An awful instance of sudden death took place on Tuesday evening in the vicinity of the ter minus of the London and North-Western Railway at Euston-square. Mr. Ralph Carr, county magistrate of Middlesex, shortly before 5 o'clock left his town resi dence, York-terrace, 'Regent's Park, to proceed - to the London and North-Western Railway, for the purpose of returning to his country house at Pinner. When he left home he was in his usual health and spirits, being an exceedingly hale and hearty man. On reaching half way down Melton street, Euston-square, on his way to the station, he was observed suddenly to stagger and fall on the pavement. The unfortunate gentleman was instantly conveyed into a surgery near where he fell, but life had ceased. The body was conveyed to the dead-house of St. Pancras workhouse, where it awaits a coroner's in• quest. GR AVESEND STAR PACKETS. No other Packets call at the Greenhlthe and Purfleet Piers.
