SHOCKING CASE OF CIIII.D•MURDER AT BATH, AND D E ATH OF THE .M OTH ER.—BATII, MAT 3.—A shocking care of infanticide occurred in this city yesterday, and was speedily follow.d by the death of the unhappy mur demi. It would seem that in the course of Tuesday night a female servant, in the ser vice of Captain An derson, of 15, St. James-square, was seized with sadden illness. Her fellow-servant, who slept with her, had not the ast suspicion of her pregnancy, but states that she was restless, appeared in pain, and got out of bed. As a long time elap7ed before her return, the fellow-servant was alarmed and went to look for her, and after some time she found her apparently in a dying state. Mr. Massey, surgeon, was immediately sent for, and on his arrival he found that the girl had delivered herself of a child, and was dying from the consequent haemorrhage. In a few minutes she breathed her last; and upon a sub sequent search being made the body of the infant was found concealed in the water-closet. The dreadful affair has excited a deep and painful holing throughout the ueighbctirlimi is which it incurred, LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF POLAND. The seventeenth annual meeting of the above associa tion was held on Thursday last, at the Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. James. Amongst those present were Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., V.l'., Lord Beau mont, Sir Bedworth Williamson, Bart., M.P., Francis Mowatt, Esq , M.P., John Williams, Esq., M.P., William Pinney, Eaq., M.P..

Bruce, Eaq., Carrell Wat son, E.g., Thomas Young, Esq., Edmund Belles, Each Thos. C. Banfield, Esq., John Carter, Esq., J. W. Wil lock, Esq., and, though last., not least, our distinguishe I countryman, Samuel Rogers, Esq. Lord DUDLEY STUART, on taking the chair, observed that as there was usually a great deal to be transacted on the occasion of their anniversary meeting, they had better proceed at once to business; and as it wee the custom to hear the annual report read before entering upon any discussion, he would, with their permission, call upon the honorary secretary to read the report._ WM. LLOYD BIRRBECK, Esq., then proceeded to reed the report, of which the following is a brief abstract:— The report commenced by referring to the miscon ception of the nature of the affairs and contestin Posen ' which existed at the time of the last annual meetinge that the information received from persons of knOwn re spectability in the grand duchy, and the official documents published by the Germane themselves, removed the erro neous impression. Reference was made to the de bate on Mr. Urquhart's motion in May last, from which it transpired that the Poles took up arms in anticipa tion of an event declared inevitable a war with Russia; reed that the acts Of- .herbsrity attributed to the Poles were, in fact, committed by ,the Ger mans, who were the aggressors, is shown . by many ' official and other documents. It added, the Council are now in possession of authentic information cem pletely disproving the charge of cruelty brought against the Poles. As an instance, the body of a person named Lachner, said to have been mutilated by the Polish peasantry, bad been exhumed, and no such ! mutilations appeared. The report then mentioned the reports of General Willisen, the proclamation of General Von Colomb, and the protest ot a German Judge of the Supreme Court of Posen, together with letters of au English lady there resident,, and other documents, proving the breach of faith by the Prus van Government, that the Poles were not aggressors, and that the best understanding had prevailed between .he Polish peasants and their landlords. It then referred to the debate on Lord Kinnaird's motion, and the speeches of Lord Lansdowne and other Peers, which were and are still uncontroverted.The report stated that the intention of the Galician nobles to remit all labour payments of rent hed been frustrated for the time by a tumult caused by the Austrian authorities. It would appear that the temptation of destoying an unresisting capital is one which can be withstood by few Austrian generals. The report went on to give an account of the debate in the House of Commons, on the annual grant for the Polish refugees, mentioned a most honourable letter from several of their number resigning their claims ; the sums allowed; and that France had last year voted 30,000/. for the relief of the Poles in that country. The lamented death of the late president, Mr. T. W. Beau mont, was strongly dwelt upon, and an account of his services given to the association, and else of the manlier in which the loss is felt and deplored by the Poles. A lucid statement of the income and expenditure of the association was made. The metier' ot the Earl of Eglinton, and the speech with which it was introduced, were strongly blamed, and the conduct of the Poles both in public and private life fully justified; the late very favourable accounts from Posen, where the Poles exercise a forbearance and dignity, setting at naught German provocation, also the unfortu nate occurrences in Galicia. The report, after referring to Russian aggressit n, conclude d by expressing a sanguine hope that. ultimately the great work et' constitutional liberty will be crowned and consolidated by the restora• iion of the ancient, free, and independent kingdom of Poland ,to its place amongst the nations of Europe, • The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON ruse to propose the adoption of the report. • He regretted that on that occa sion he had not the good fortune to appro ich the ques tion of the condition of Poland with better prospects or with better hopes of the national regeneration or con etitutioeal resuscitation of Poland. It was indeed to be regretted that Poland had not recovered in some degree at least her ancient power. The destiny of Poland had for many years been buried in gloom, and that gloom still hunl over her. There were, however, still many cheering circumstances for th it contemplation, and one of !heal was to be found in the policy adoptad by the Noble Lord at the head of our foreign affairs with respect to the af 'airs of Italy. Ile entertained this opinion notwith standing so much blame had been cast upon that Noble Lord. It had b -en said that if the policy ho had pursued of late was allowed to be c intinued, that they should not long have an ambassador in any court of Europe; yet he had restored the freedom of the Italian race, and established the King of S irdinia on his throne. They could not anticipate fer a moment that Hungary would separate herself from Austria. Indeed, no one could anticipate for a moment the present position of Austria who did not expect that the exertions making by such great nations as were corn - prised in her Italian dominions in Ilungary and Poland, lor the recovery of their i :dependence, would be successful, and they would be no longer go Turned as they had been by a handful of of barbarous Croatians. No one of Conservative prin ciples could be of any other opinion than that care ought to be taken in every country to improve those institu tions which were really worthy of being preserved. The present condition of the Continent of Europe was one which, he confessed, filled him with feelings both of pleasure and pain. With respect to an accusation which a great friend of the Polish cause, Lord Beaumont, had lately made, he was glad that Noble Lord had seen his mistake, and had been honourable and candid enough to take the earliest opportunity of correcting his error. He was eati,fied that the gene runs mind of that Noble Lord would lead him to truce the calumny to its right source, and finding that he was in error. It would be soon seen that the interest of Poland was the interest of Europe, and that she was the power which would interpose the most effectual barrier against the ambitious aggression of Russia. The, 7 trues would doubtless to morrow either modify or not enter tain at all the opinions it expressed to-day. It would be affected by public opinion, and by the new proprietors that came into it; that great organ, in order to show him that it was consistent, must show that the independence of Poland was not necessary to check the power of Russia. For the result of popular commotions, the assassination of men like Rossi by infuriated mobs, the acts of indi viduals, whole nations could not bo answerable for nor made amenable. The whole of the people of Poland could not be held responsible fur the individual acts of every class of their fellow countrymen. With respect to recent proceedings in the House of Lords, he could net but e xpress his regret that so chivalrous a man as the Bin of Eglinton should have struck such a felon's blow against the cause of Poland, and that he had not come forward in that chivalrous manner, which would have been more in accordance to ith his character, and boldly struck their shield.—(Cheers.) But the statistics had satisfied the most fastidious that the calumny, he would rather call it the mistake into which he had fallen, was altogether groundless..—(hear, hear.) It was said that the Pules would not be quiet— that they went about stirring up commotion, and had taken part iu foreign insurrections. Now, though a man of peace, he would wish to see such great constitutional divas as those recently made by Bernand Dembinski in Hungary. But two Pules had been traced to have taken any part in the revolution at Berlin; but it did not appear that they had stirred up commotion. Besides the case of Hungary, where the two generals had so much distinguished themselves, was that of an in dependent kingdom seeking for its liberties and ' rights. In the present stare of things it became a ques tion whether Austria or Hungary should govern Poland. With respect to the conduct of Prussia towards Poland, he might say that in not one particular had the lisng ot Prussia kept the promises which he had made to Poland during the last two years.—(bear, hear.) u Tt d They Hungarianwere her e r b given to understand th a t th e fi rst act o f Prussia would b e t h e f ree d om o f that part of Poland awaayrharOitny. the contrary, seconded everyby Prussia. Russian He could only say that the unhappy people of Poland must " bide their time." Indeed, through the mercy of God, he trusted, the time would not be long before the Generals in this country would march under that glorious banner which decorated the room.

He hoped that Poland would soon regain her nationality, and exhibit the power of a nation able to meet the Muscovite and the Turk, taking her stand, as she was entitled, among the first of the Selavunic nations—(Cheers)---am )ng the first of the civilized nations of the earth.--(Bear, hear.) He had had much communication with the natives of Poland, and he had found them accomplished and moral, ant it gavO him much pleasure on that occasion to bear testimony to their merits.—(Cheers.) Mr. MoNcwros MILNEs, M.P., seconde 1 the motion. Though they had been in the habit at their annual meetings of indulging in political conversations, ) et, strictly speaking, these were not associated with the objectsu itieets theyof the association was, that had in view; for one of the must valu a bl e it bro u ght t o sit ro und the same table people, and round tho cau se of Poland men of all shades ofpolitical opiniou, sympathy for the great wrong and injury which had ot different political feelings been perpetrated upon Poland. so a common hoed of sympathy for and connected them I w t h b o ro c u o g u h li t i f t e hh e e l she a ldpebr j y which that mighty deed had Polish netion— an injury out.--(He an) In seconding cast upon them to IP(' et misaiou to say that nothing inflicted during the last century on the he asked p 1 member could b© considered uttered by any individual the e e gprrceaptosinitjigeiy, at the same time as committing any, other nieminr of the association. In the present complicated state . of Europe it was difficult for EaghOmen. ,4 1 / obtain sufficient in'ermetion to direct them in many matters of foreign policy ; and it was ality.tliffieelt to divest themselves of their own political viesysrin erdeuto . come to the true consideration of ail' the-subjects. _ When they considered the great conflicts goingenbetween the Sclavonie rind " German races, it wassdiffinitt - *to' reconcile the different politic it opinions held,by c luttivl duals with respect to them ; and therefore beeonceired that it was not inconsistent for Engliab gentlemen to entertain something like a strong feeling for the cognate German nation, and at the same time preserve a .strong interest for Poland and-the Poles. Ho did net think- he was called upon to express any direct political-opinion upon the many circumstances to which that report al luded; but he might be permitted to say that.there were circumstances at present going on in Europe _which; tae the political historian, were most interesting, and which; even to those persons who were accustomed,to look upon the affairs of this world not very seriouslyeAntil+ -1 4 4 help asking with surprise how long it was in the his torytra t e o d f mankind theirb e h fo i r s e t oaryg;_ea(tudeeettdr,obfeiar4stifet I.isssildbklif.- ficult to say how far .the present evils that afflicted steal Europe would hav e b een avo id e d if the P o li s h kingdom had remained ' w h ere i t .was...

Whatever evils, thereforgth*Slaigl4 have arisen from the interference ormeml* of the - Polish nation in the governments of Germany; the blame must rest with those goiernments, wko by them selves and by their predecessors :had consented to the partition of Poland—they were - the parties that were really responsible for that act, and not the present Poles themselves.—(Cheers.) He did, however, believe that it would be for the interest of the Polish nation to act as far as they could rather sympathetically than antagonistically with regard to the nations of Germany.—(Hear, hear.) [Lord Beaumont here entered, and was much cheered ] This was the more necessary, s i nce i t was undeniable that a large portion of the ancient Polish kingdom was very much wrapped up with the German nation. They were, in fact, in very much the ssme same position as were the English and Irish in certain parts of Ireland. He celled upon the Poles to well consider the q"estion, as it was not the SUMO thing to re-establish a kingdom such as Poland, as it would have been to preserve it had it never been destroyed.—(Cheers.) lie did not, however, think that any member of the Polish nation would interfere with, constitutional liberty in this country. When they, as Englishmen, looked around theta at the present division of tho world, they should recollect that while the people of Poland had taken part—and he did not see how in human nature they could have done otherwise—in the political commotions of other coun tries, they had here, at least, remained perfectly quiet and orderly—(Hear, hear) —and as Englishmen,, that was all they had to do with the question. They had nothing w h atev er to do with th e p ar t which the Poles c h eesed to take in the affairs of Poland, as lot gas they found them orderly, industrious, and in telligent persons, as they found them in this country. That was all they had to consider; and, as English poli ticians and as English citizens, they ought not to look further. Therefore, whatever political opinions might to entertained with regard to what was going on on the continent, he did not see anything whatever to prevent the strongest Conservative or the mos t hopeful Liberal agree ing around that table in expressing their fervent interest in the Polish ranks.—(Fleur, hear.) He firmly believed by the restoration of that nationality, which, although marred of its outward space, still lived in the heart of every Pole, and was, therefore, indestructible, that the fauns of Europe would be placed on a much better foot ing, and much approaching evi l prevented.—(Cheers.) Lord BE tUDIONT said , as that was a period of action rather than a period of words, he promised to occupy their attention but a very few minutes. He had hoard it late l y observe d in more than ono place, t hat during the troubles in Europe the Pules were always foremost in every agitation or dis turbance in whatever quarter it might arise, and w hether the cause was good or bad, except indeed, as his lion. Friend had observed, in this country, that the Pole was foremost in resisting the existing authorities, and in promoting the progress of revolinion. Now, when he heard of that observation, it brought the recollection to his mind that, even in this word, and within a short space of time, justice would be dote. Some years ago Europe com mitted a great erime—(lear, hear)—it committed the great crime of allowing a nation to be blotted out of the snip; it committed a great crime by allowing =waders to overrun and destroy is notion; and it did worse—it connived at the event, for it male no attempt to resist it. The cons, qtrenee ot that conduct Ives now visible-through out Europe. The roles were without a how, without a country, and what could they pi ssibly do, scattered as they were over the face of the world? What was the natural sphere in which they could act? They could not become the subjects of any other country, witnout giving up, on principle, the existence of their own.--(Hear.) They were strangers throughout the world, and to them became natural a state of confusion, because from a state of confusion alone, after the calm manner in which Europe had looked upon the injury, could they have any hopes of their own nation being restored to its ancient freedom. To those, therefore, who complained of the conduct of the Poles in the different capitals of Europe be would repeat the lines of Shakspere— " Thus even-han 'ad justice cloth commend The ingredients of the peis.ned chalice To his own lips." (Hear, hear.) And they who only looked on at the great and sacrilegious crime which was committed were now tasting the bitter draft which they had themselves pre pared—a rank poison sped through their veins, and made them now, when it was too late, regret the commis sion of that crime which had stained Europe with disgrace. But they were now coming to a period when the eyes of Europe and every nation which existed as a free nation, must look to the East; for it was on the frontier of lisissia—it was exactly on the spot where the crime was perpstrated, and where a remnant of the Polish people were now lying still, without justice being lone to theta—it was un that battle-field that the conflict would soon begin between the broad liberties and constitutional rights of Europe, and that great spirit of despotism which still stood unshaken and ready pre pared to advance forward in the hope of crushing all attempts tor fr., edore.—(flear, hear.) It was, therefore, to that part of the globe that they were looking, and the time might come w hen the rest of Europe might say—" It is well to restore to the people of Poland its ancient constitution, that we may till up that great place left vacant by Austria, and do that duty which Austria neglected in the hour of need, that we ml fill up that place, and do that duty, viz., to stand as a bar 'ter against Russian invasion, and save the constitu tional liberties and the freedom of the west of Europe ffromrn. r fading armies - and hordes of Russian and -Asia!! n a. barians." The time might come when they would have to lock to those very persons whom they had so ill-treted as one source of independence; and it be ho ve d . act a part worthy the high and dignified position hich them to England held among the nations of Europew hen called upon to assist a fallen and oppressed people. But he should be wrong if he sat down without saying that mo &ration, vigorousness of purpose and resolution, were necessary to carry out any project—that there must be some moderation shown with respect to the conduct of those Governments under which .the. people of Poland were now restive, and it was necessary that great caution should be ahown, and by doing, so, they might bo the means of delivering a people from a bondage whose interest would, in a short period, be common with theinown. He concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That the pro gress of constitutional freedom in Germany, and the successful struggle for its preservation in -Hungary, afford reasonable grounds for entertaining the beliet that at no distant period the same principles of government will be established throughout ancient Poland." (Cheers.) Mr. W. SCHOLEFIELD, M.P., in seconding the resolu tion, said, it' there was one portion of his Honourable Friend's address with which he sympathised more than another, it was that which defended the Poles from the attacks made upon them respecting the part they had taken in defending the rights and liberties of the people in the different capitals of Europe. Ile • con sidered that the Poles had been most unfairly abused and maligned by the press of this country, for if they had assisted in extending the liberties of countries to which they did not belong, they were compelled to do so by that iniquitous and cruel act which the various Governments of Europe bad witnessed, without one single effort to stay or prevent it. He sincerely wished the Poles God-speed is the efforts which they were now making.—(Hear.) The resolution was put and carried. Mr. URQUHART proposed that Lord Dudley Stuart s`ioull be nominated president of the association for 1113 ensuing y ear , p ass i ng a hi g h and well _ deserved eulogiuna upon the philanthropy of his Lord ship, which, he said, no d.fficulties would discourage. The Noble Lord had boldly met the charge with respect to the part of the Poles in the continental revolutionary -- movements, and had justly said that the consequences of the crime committed by the governMents of Eon po would be visited upon themselves, and it might happen that those infatuated states which had been parties to it would, according to the prophecy of Napol-00, be either republican or Cossack. Ile bad ISO exiasoation, from present events, for the salvation of Poland; but he held that upon the existence of Poland . depended the security of the whole of Europe, not ex cepting England. If they sacrificed Poland they sacrificed Europe. 'They would have witnessed no revolutions on the continent last year if common justice had existed thronghou't Europe. When they gave over dreaming and came to realities they would see that Russia was now the centre of danger; and to the movements of that cation he maintained they ought - to direct their attention: I Mr. THOMSON HAMMY ' jun., said he had much plea sure in seconding the motion. They were doing their 'testy as citizens of England in selecting, for the head of that association a gentleman who had shown himself in every , respect and in ever y p os i t i on o f W e to b e actuate d brthe purest, the most catholic, and the most general sympathies. It was because be had never shown one single favour to a Pole which ho would not have readily Mown to every one of his own countrymen, that he thought him peculiarly eligible to preside over that association.—(Cheers.) Without wishing at all to enter into any political discussion, ho would say that he did not enter into the feelings of despair expressed by Mr. Urquhart with respect to this country and that; nor did he think if Russia overrun a much greater portion of Europe than it had done, that England had any ' 'reason to fear the acts of that power.—(altar, hear.) He thought, however, if they allowed political feelings h to become an ingredient in their proceedings, that they would get into difficulty, and might alarm many friends who would gladly and cheerfully join an institution which was so essentially useful, being calculated to sup port a class of gentlemen who had come to this country as strangers, and had shown themselves meri torious in ehatever position they had been placed. Those who had been !assisted by the funds were not, as had been asserted, political agents, but patriots, and per sons who had every claim upon the sympathy of a free and enlightened country like England, and he trusted that as long as Polish refugees came to this country, and conducted themselves as they had hitherto done that they would receive the sympathy and support of the British public.—(Cheers.) The resolution was carried with acclamation. • The CHAIRMAN then rose to reply, and taid—l rise with no common "feelings to offer you my thanks for the honour which has been bestowed upon me. It is a very common thing for gentlemen to have occasion to make we of these expressions, but I. can assure, yowl that my feelings ire very far from. common‘ on the present occasion. I must begin by thanking my Honourable Friends who moved. and seconded the resolution for the kind, handsoms, an&Lflattering manner in which they are pleased to spaikof . rtbe • and of the services I am able -to render in the cause which has brought us here tee day. I tender them, and I trust- they will accept, my most cordial thank. I will not dilate further - •upon that part of the subject, but will assure b y e o s u t t n h f a t tn r y . b a b t y e extremelytbe duties whappy youto d i s b c a h v a e r g l a e i d t o n p t h on e me in connexion fact xion w l it b h a t r h e e omffiscny y e ofeParrsesidents— discharged he President.—(Hear.) part of thoSe duties, having as vice - president represented the president and acted for him. I have the In point ) been preceded in this chair by a distinguished and able man, whose loss I deplore deeply, having had the honour fur many years of enjoying his private friendship, and of acting with him in public, par ticularly with regard to this association. He felt most warmly , and most ardently in the cause of Poland; in-that there was the most complete sympathy between us ; and he certainly devoted a great part of his time, so ong as his health allowed him, and even after he was sonfinod to his bed, in considering and writing upon subjects connected with Poland.—(Cries of •• Hear, hear.") There is one part of his conduct which I shall find it exceedingly difficult to follow—l mean the princely and munificent way in which he contributed to supply the Is ants of the associ ation. If all the sums which Mr. Beaumont contributed in different ways to the association were summed up, I am sure it wallet create very groat surprise among the members and the • public at large, for he was in the habit of contributing his bounty quietly, silently, and withou any ostentation.—(Cheers.) I hays no pretension to be able to compete with him in that respect; but I must endeavour to make up with good will and by diligence, earnestness, and activity in the cause; ard I am sure, gentleman, you will be kind enough to accept my humble endeavours, and that you will continue to givo me that support which I have received from you during the many years that I occupied the vice -chair, and without having done which I certainly should not have been so able to carry on the business of the association as it has been carried on, nor to effect so much of our purpose as we have at tained.—(Cries of " Hear, bear.") Turning, gentlemen, from the professions of my desire to servo you, and of my determination to persevere in losing no opportu nity of Tendering any service, however small, to Poles, in the absence of any opportunity to render them impor tant services—turning from the anticipation of the fu ture for a moment, I would take the opportunity of making some observations with regard to the past, and partly with regard to the events of the important ear which has elapsed since we last met, on the 3d May, to celebrate the anniversary of .the Polish constitutro During that period many events have taken place of tb greatest importance, to Europe at large, which have 2 . 1 direct' bearing on the interests of Poland ; and the int: rests of Poland, indeed, are so intimately connected with those of the whole - of Europe, that it would be chili cult for theirs to be cif cted without ours being an also.— (Hear.) Eurepe has been in a state of the greatest agitation during the last twelve months; we hale seen more than one sovert ign compelled during that time to abdicate his throne; we have seen more than one republic established, and in every state a degree of agitation and uncertainty has prevailed which has made people fear of maintain mg any kind of government, and which has led even to a total dissolution of the bonds of society.—([fear.) What is to come out of all this it; is not, of course, easy to perceive . ; it is a dangerous thing to at tempt to prophecy ; nevertheless, I think it is impossible that the result of what is passing should be otherwise than to the advantage and protection of liberty throughbut the world, and therefore to the advantage of Poland.—(Hear, hear.) The time has now come when men are more than ever determined that one race shall not be held in subordination by another race.—(Hear.) I think if any leading characteristic dittinguishes the events of last ye ar, it is a determination of the inha bitants of the different countries of Europe to preserve their separate nationalities—their determination not to submit to foreign yoke; and we may hope, when that determnatiou spreads to Poland, as it is now doing, that the . people of that :country will find an opportunity of avenging their long-endured wrongs and of re-estab lishing their nationality in all its ancient freedotn.— (Cheers.) Many observations have been made at different times with regard to the proceedings of the Polish holy in various parts of the world. They have taken a part in the struggle in Prussia, that is to say at Posen—they have taken a part, and a most glorious part, in Hungary, and the brave Hunga rians are now driving those who have oppressed them out -of their country, but they are marching to victory headed by di.tinguished Poli.h generals—(Cheers)—they are led on to victory and glory, by Polish refuge m —(Cheers.) These Hun garians have shown themselves to be brave, gallant, and determined men, ready to shed their last drop of blood in defence' of the rights of their country.—(L"ud cheers.) What they claim is their constitutional in rights any de ; t g he r y e t e ct l ao im bo th a t i i i r ur c c o d ns o t r itu a t p io p n e , as a e n d d 11;3; h a e re oi n re o r t made to them by Austria, of having a constitution more liberal, as it is pretended, and more democratic than their own.-,,--:((lear, hear.) . They reply that they do not want • a better constitution than their own, which has endured for a thousand years; they have had their Kings, their Lords, and their Commons. These three estates they are determined to have again, and they have shown themselves prepared and able to defend their rights at the point of the bayonet.—(Cheers.) But it is doubtful whether the bold determination and noble spirit which they have evinced will be able to effect their purpose without the aid of those gallant Poles, whU are now at the head of her army.—(Bear, hear.) Not long since we have seen those two gallant officers —Dembinski and Bern—in this room. I am proud to say that they have often been in these chambers. There was a time, and it is not far distant, when General Bem was obliged to tread the thorny and penurious path of exile. - He came to this country as many a gentleman in' this room remember, in a state of griev ous sickness, and of almost complete destitution. It is - not twelve months since General Bem was here a poor neglected refugee deriving all his subs sigence from the funds of this association. — (Cheers.) • He was obliged to undergo a dangerous operation in consequence of an old wound which he had received many years before. He came to us in his distress and destitution—he came to us on his crutches, and we received him as we were bound to , do as friends of Poland, and we -gave him all the assistance and succour which was in our power ; but I regret to say that was a very slender portion. Still we gave him that which was ne cessary to maintain him in a humble manner during fourteen months that he was here. In one of the hospitals of this city he underwent one of , the most difficult and extraordinary operations that has ever been performed; Mr. Liston, the celebrated surgeon, extraeted from his body a bullet which bad remained there 31 years. Thank .God, he survived the operation, and instead of remain ing here in Obscurity and in penury, and on a bed of sickness, ho is now at the head of a successful army ; he has fought and beaten Austria ; he has fought and beaten • his old enemy, whom ho had before put to flight in the former days of the Polish revolution; he his driven out the Russians from Tran - sylvania - once, twice, and three times-1--(Cheers)—and if the Hungarians ultimately succeed, as there is every hope they will, in obtaining their just demands and in re-establishing their constitution, they will owe it to the bravery and skill of General Bem.—( bear, and cheers.) Ile, in a great degree, has led them to their present success, ever re animating their drooping hepes, and endeavouring, with a small force, to advance. upon the enemy's right and left, the result of which I trust will be a final and glorious success.—(Cheerf9 Other events have taken place far less satisfactory l in different parts of Europe in which act 1 es have borne some part, bu t wherever they h ave been lb; it conduct has been distinguished by courage, by ability, In Italy a ff airs have turned out very differently to those brzinowskt, one of the of Hungary. There, General C of the S d . most able polish officers, had the command - and by propriety.—(llea, bear.) him; but I believe that cannot be attributed by against 'Ann a rmy. . Unfortunately, the chances of war were any means to. any fault or want of skill in the disposi tion of. hiOroops._ I believe, on the contrary, that the plan of operations Which the General adopted was masked by skill and talent, and I believe if he bad had • a fair chance given to bins, and had been tolerably sup ported, that he would .have given as good an account of his victory over General Redetzky; as Bern had given of his defeat of the Austrian generals in Transylvania. —(llsar.) But the conduct of the King of Sardinia had been most extraordinary; he had been constantly ad. vise d by General Chreanowski not to precipitate affairs, snil not to interfere with the armistice, because he told him that tho army was not then in a fit state to commence warfare, and that every opportunity ought to be taken advantage of to bring it to that state of discipline which was neces sary in order to meet the experienced troops of Austria. The Ministers and all the leading men of the country hrl.l the same language; but Charles Albert, by some kind of infatuation, would not be persuaded, and to such a degree did ho carry his conduct that war was declared without the general in-chief being consulted or inforthed of it, and the courier who carried the declaration of war reached Radetzky twelve hours before the news was brought to General Ch•zanowski, who was informed that the King wished to bring the war to a speedy issue one way or the other.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The General inquired if he might not protract it—it he might not adopt tactics to delay the commencement of hostilities until he could anticipate a successful result. But he was told that he must bring it to a close,. one way or another, immediately ; and his operations were such under these circumstances that there could be very little doubt if his army had stood true that there would have been a total rout of the Austrian forces. But he had to oppose a powerful force of 70,000 with an army of 40,000, more than half of which who were Lombards refused to fight at all, Now, the most consummate general cannot expect to win a battle when more than half his army refuses to fight. The remaining portion of the troops, the Sar dinians and the Piedmontese, fought bravely, and with desperate courage, and many a gallant deed of heroism was done' oti the fatal field of battle.—(Hear, hear.) This is a verg melancholy part of the subject, and cer tainly not more success tram attended those Poles who had taken a part in the Sicilian eampaien. It seems that there was very little to be done; the Sicilians are not more disposed to fight than the Lombards, and of course the same fate attended them. I have, gentlemen, referred to the scenes enacted in Hungary, because I think from there may arise a change of fortune even to the Italians; and probably Hungary is the pivot just now upon which the fate of the world will turn.—(Heart) It is said to be the intention of the Emperor of Russia to interfere with that country, and it is abroad that he has offered to the Emperor of Austria a large army to assist him whenever he may be called upon to do so. (hose at the he ad of the Austrian Government are, I am afraid, men without judgment, without - experience, without talent, and without information. Schwarzenberg has passed the life of a man of pleasure, and has never devoted his attention to business ; he is extremely violent in his temper, and extremely obstinate ; and it is to - be expected that he will take advantage of this ,offer of the Emperor of Russia, and request the assist ance of that large army of 70,000 or 100,009 men. I say it is to be expected, but I won't say that it is to be feared, bemuse I really think we, who are the friends of I Hungary and the friends of Poland, may rather desire that the Emperor of Russia may attempt this inter ference with Hungary. He has certainly great poler ; he rules over a most extended dominion, and his army amounts to hundreds of thousands of men ; and all this may make him look very' formidable upon paper, but we have heard of large armies of former times crumbling to pieces without being able to effect their objects when they attack the liberties of a determined peeple.— (fir ar, hear.) I believe that the Hungarians are a de termined people ; they have shown themselves to be able and vigorous, and I believe that in their demands they are just and moderate; but if they be attacked by the armies of some states of Europe, and if they be de serted, and neglected, and abandoned by all other go vernments, of course they will take whatever measures they can to defend themselves ; and though their de mands be now moderate, though they only ask for their constitution, is it to he supposed that if they are driven into a corner that they will not raise the standard of re volution in every part of the continent where they can? that they will not apply for assistance to those who are desirous to overturn the governments of their own coun tries, that they will not apply to their allies at Vienna at Berlin, and even to their allies in Poland ? (Hear, hear.) Will not they also be assisted by tie Turks, who have been long tired of the insolent manner in which the Russian Government has held them, and aho have been driven, no woncl. , r, to exas peration by its unprincipled and shameful invasion of the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia? And is there any doubt that Poland and Turkey, and people hem other nations, will assist them to achieve liberty 41,t1 over Eureee? Is it not probable that that they may t e able to drive back the Russians in their most unrigh teous attempts, and that this interference of Russia, which is thought by some to be so formidable, may be the beginning of the end—aye, the end of de•petitou and the re-establishment of true liberty throughout all the 'nations of the world?—(Cheers.) I trust it may be so, and I belies" it we attain that liberty our secoete Nall to owing, in a great degree, to the Poles, so many of them having been mixed up in the beginning of these contests. I ought, perhaps, gentlemen, to have referred to something of a more domestic nature which has taken place since the last meeting. It cannot be denied, while I entertain great hopes with regard to the fate of Po land, and the achievement of liberty throughout the world, that the position of the Polish refugees in England, has been marked this year by adverse circumstances ; not, indeed, that those brave men have done anything to ells entitle them to the continued sympathy of the inhabitants of this country—nothing of the kiud ; here there conduct has always been quite good ; and during the past year of excitetnent and trouides it has been as good as in any former year. The report states that in this country no Pole has been mixed up with any disturbance whatever— no, not one. • I know their enemies ; they have been zealous and sedulous in circulating calumnies respecting them. I was told last year, with an air of authority, that the Poles were mixed up with the disturbances- and, conspiracies on the 10th of April—that is, if there were conspiracies, which; for my part, I very much doubt; but I know it was said that they had joined the Chartists. I was told by sonic who said they knew it, because they had received information to that effect from the polio'. I utterly deny that it was true. I made inquiry, and I found that not one Pule had been brought before a magistrate on account of any charge - of the kind. One portion of the report mentions that'd persiOn was taken up in Ire land, suspected of being connected with the rebels there, but it was not proved that he was a Pule, although it was proved that be had nothing to do with the rebels.— (A laugh.) We must, however, admit that them is not now that sympathy for the Poles which there previously was. I never like to conceal the truth, and I always speak it such ns I find it.—(hear, hear.) But I think we must admit, in consequence of what passed in the llouse of Commons, which is probably well known to all the"gentlemen here, that last year when the vote f o r th e Puha was pro; ost'd, some objection was made as to its amount, and that sonic remarks fell from some lion. Nlembers on that occasion. I believe that those gentle men were wholly ignorant of the subject upon which they were speaking. I do not think if they had been aware of the circum stances of the case that they would have ex pressed themselves as they did, in order to reduce the amount of the grant, or to abolish it altogether. My Hon. ;Friend Mr. Osborne, from ignorance, which was not altogether excusable, for he certainly ought to have made himself first aware of the truth or falsehood of it—(Hear)—complained in the House of Commons, that a certain Pole whom he named was in the receipt of relief from the Government. Now the fact was, that the Pole to whom ho alluded was dead, and that during his lifetime he never received any assistance from the Government whatever.—(Hear.) That is a specimen of the manner in which Hun. Members sometimes venture to get up in their places, and make statements of that kind, and then found arguments upon them.—(Hear.) But I believe the argument which had most effect in the House of Commons was one used by the Hon. Member for Oxfordshire, who also . showed himself to to untie • quainted with the facts of the case. That Hon. Member (Mr. Henley) objected to the Poles receiving any fur ther grant, because, said he, " Why the Poles can now return to their own homes—they were driven here, and could not' help it, but the continent is now open to them, and why should they not return to their homes." Now, I believe it was that which indisposed the House of Commons. So much for the renewal of the grant, and I am free to confess if the continent was free to the Poles ; and they could go to their own homes, that that wouldbe toe good reason for refusing to grant any further assistance to them. But my answer to that is , thatit: i i s h n is o o ni t the ; case—(Hear, hear) —they cannot go t o t heir o they are not allowed to go,to that part of the continent u there is no excuse of which they are natives; for those belonging to the Austria and Prussia, of that part under but the fact , is they partsi t is fe the li c s o v u e n gtroyn under n l o d n e g r rise t ree- ago—(Hear, hear) —but the natives . d h fourths of the dominion of Russia, the Poles at least, re —(lea no mwohrheic.lellac;e7o driven back to out. h the t ir ome r s , now than the day after t ea , we hear.) The object, how ever, was not to refuse the grant , but: to obtain fronsaithe Chancellor of the Exche• tb q uer a promise he would make an inquiry Into t he cases of those who recieved relief, and remove all those namss from the list who were no t receiving any. The inquiry is now going on, but it is carried notcarri it ed with more rigour than 1 think is nee..ssary. I approve altogether of the inquiry; it is wholly beneath the dignity of the nation and of the Parliament, and I think, even supposing that some re r ugfe had ob. tained a small sum which, by a little exertion, he might have been able, to do without, it would be much better to let him have it than to institut e suc h an ultra-econo mical inquiry. It can do no good, and must give a great deal of pain and annoyance to those who are the reci pients Of the charity. We shall see how far the inquiry is proceeding and what steps the Government are dis posed to take with regard to it; but we must anticipate that a considerable number of Poles will be removed from the list, and that distress will increase among them; and therefore we ar e lik e l y to b e ca ll e d upon for further assistance at a time when we will be very little able to give its7-(Hear.) But we must do the best we can, and lam sure you w ill not relax any of your endeavours to pro vide for the waets of those brave patriots who were (-77 tr TW , driven here f o r n o f au lt o f th e i r own, b ut i n conetriller • :fit, s A., , s asl 4, - their attachment t o th e i r country and of aciete nation never to cease their exertiona until thefotitisiereiA their rights.—(Ch eers. ) P er h aps I am not juitified'4'. • passing over altogether the attack which weehiti: • c • the House of Peers of a very peculiar nature, an well calculated to throw discredit and obloquy uPe - /Aght",,lW objects of it, an d t o h o ld t h em up to the public bai, - that it is difficult to imagine that the most intelligent or insidious enemy could have devised anything better for his purpose. It was an attack of a very peculiar nature, and it is ,difficult to speak of it without outraging de cency; but if any shame attaches to it let it rest at the door of those.who brought it forward.—(Hear.) lt would be false delicacy to be ashamed, or to shrink from mentioning the topic, however unworthy or however unpleasant, when the object is to defend outraged inno- ' cence.—(Hear.) Of course what I allude to is evident enough to every body; it is an attack which was made upon the unfortunate Polish refugees in the House of Lords by the Earl of Eglinton. I must confess I beard of it with a great deal of pain. I wish to speak of it in more measured terms now than I should bare dune im mediately after it occurred, but I must say that the kind of attack was eminently calculated to excite feelings of animosity and irritation among the Poles, and if thsy had resorted to some unbecoming course, to testify their feelings, no one could wonder at it, however their frit eds • might hava lamented it.—(Flear, hear.) But they teed saith that propriety which Las always intuited their con duct since they have been here, and have maintained a dignity which it is easier to assume when a man is charged wit's an offence of which he knows he is inno• cent, than when he knows himself guilty.—(flear, beer.) But their calmness did not arise from any degree of in difference. No; as soon as the attack aas made by Lord Eglinton, the leading men among them came to me, and asked what was to be done and how they were to meet the charge, because they were resolved, by some means or other, to clear their character. I applauded their resolution, and told them that the attack must be met in the arena in which it was made; that I knew there were some persona who were indignant at the course which had been. pursued, and that if they failed in that quarter, I would myself take the first opportunity of defending them; but that I was satisfied that there would be no difficulty in getting • a Peer to come forward. They therefore waited patiently, not long certainly, but long enough to men with feelings outraged, and time enough to allow the illiberal portion of the press to seize upon the statement of Lord Eglinton as if it had been proved, and to renew their invectives against the Poles.—(Hear.) But after a little while a nobleman of high character— one certainly who could not be supposed to look i upon such charges as were made by Lord Eglinton, evfa supposing them to be true, with any degres of indif ference, or without the utmost reprobation—the Earl of Harrowby put a question to the Government on the subject. Now it is not becoming to be precise in three matters, but it is necessary for the character of the Poles • that the case should be fully stated. Let no one say that lam inclined to fire up whenever any slight insi nuation is thrown out, but on this occasion I think I am not without considerable reason to complain. Now Lord Eglinton in moving for a return of the number of Polish refugees, including the expenses of medical at tendance, and the nature of the diseases, said' he foetid*" that a large portion of those diseases were of a nature which he could not name, and for which it was not fit this nation should pay ;" and in the same speech he repeated the charge, saying that " the grant to the Poles enabled them to incur diseases for which we had to pay." The Earl of Harrowby having put the question, Lord Lansdowne said he had inquired into the subject, and found that there was hardly the slightest ground for such a statement as that of Lord Eglinton, and that he was . satisfied with the morality and good conduct of the Pules in general. lam in a position to explain the meaning of "hardly the slightest ground," for I have seen the official returns which were made to the GovernMent on this subject, including the Polish refugees in London and at Port mouth. During the year referred to by Lord Eglinton there was only one or two cases of this kind entered upon the returns out of 400 refugees, and he said one or two, bectiive in point of fact one of them was doubtful. That is the real state of the case. Now I must sly I deeply lament that such an exhibition ,was made in the House of Peers; I lament it for the honour of the House of Peers, and for the honour of the country. (Hear, bear)—but the charge has been dis- - d, and if any one's character has suffered that of the Poles has not.—(Cheers.) Ought not men who came forward to make charges of that kind against a people bowed down with misfortune—people in exile, away from friends and relatives, suff. ring all the evils of poverty, most of them having fallen from a state of affluence to penury, and unable to defend the mselves— ought not men to be very careful in bringing forward charges of this nature, ought they not to satisfy them selves that the charges were true, and were not mere phantoms of their own imaginations ?—(Hear, hear.) I am quite disposed to make allowance for bad opinions entertained by others ; I have a strong, earnest con viction in favour of 0.0 Poles, but men's minds are so constituted, thut others may take a view hos: tile to mine. I do not complain of that. I cannot h:lp contrasting this scene with one which took place in France at the time of those noble debates in the French Chamber in 1846, after the disgraceful conduct of Austria in Wallachia, when hundreds of G: 1- titian noblemen were assassinated by paid assassins. On that occasion some high-minded, generous French Peers denounctql the conduct of the Austrian Govern ment, and called upon the French Minister to make some demonstration in favour of the Poles. M. Govt replitd, that as he had no hope of doing anything prac tical for them, ho would not hold out y fallacious hopem,• vhserving—" n'y a vien trattssi ins! quo de tromper lo malht ur. —(liear, hear.) Cuunt Morita!, en seplit d—" II y a quclque chose do plum mat, &rot de flatter le mallteur." It hat been reserved, bweever, to a 13ritith Peer—to the Earl of Eglinton—to do chat which never entered into the contemplation tot the French House of Peers—" Insulter le mellteur.'' I ask whether that conduct was chivalrous.—(Laughter.), His Lordship has at least been connected with chivalry in in its outward form, but real chivalry does not consist in nodding plutnes, pennants, and rich dresses. — (Laughter.) The Noble Earl stems to have forgotten the old Roman motto, " Esse quam videri." (Hear, hear.) I will ask all those who bring themselves to reflect upon the subject, was this mode of proceeding consistent with what ought to be the ruling feeling of a gentleman; was it consistent with what is duo to the dignity of a peer; can it be regarded with satisfaction by any man who considers what are the duties of a Christine ? I will pass from this painful subject, and I trust that some good may have resulted In m it, and I am inclined to think that it has established the Poles more firmly in the opinions end regards of.those wbo 'consider and viii ct, whatever it way have done with the and inconsiderate. I have no doubt that the Poles will conduct themselves as they have heretofore done with perfect propriety. The zealous friend of order may sometimes be preju• diced against the Poles when he hears of some of them tskirg a part in the different struggles proceeding upon the continent; yet I think there is too good erase, too much justice in the people of this country net to recog nise in the first place the injustice of visiting upon any Poles here the conduct of any other Poles in any other place; and in the next place to admit that the Poles, in taking a part as they hive dono;in the diff,rent et unlies of Eurone, have done nothing , vhieh, as Poles, they worn no' ' ;u tified in d . rig.—(Heat.) Can it be denied that if the Poles tire enslaved, turned out of their hone per secuted for their religion, and maltreated, that they have not a perfect right to take advantage of every orivor utility to rise and destroy the governments who act to wards them in that manner? I say that the Poles have a right to rise against everyone or each of the partitioning rowel - F.—(Heer, hear.) I don't advise them to do to upon all occasions, but I do advise them to take advan tage of the best occasions —(hear, hear.) So-far from the Polo having been found on every side throughout to different parts of Europe, as some have said, ho bas always been on the side of liberty. It sec ms to me therefore that anything done during this year or at any other time ought not in the slightest degree to lower the - Poles in the estimation of the English, who are the friends of liberty; on the contrary, I think there is much that ought to raise them in our estimation. If there be any diminution of sympathy for them it must arise from some transient feeling, and whether or not the wavering sympathies of the trifling or inconsiderate should return to them, I am sure that every one in this room and every one practised in truth or justice will admit that the Poles most eminently deserve our assistance. and co-operation. The Noble Lord, on sitting down, was loudly cheered by the gentlemen present. Captain TOWICSItEND, M.P., moved the election of the Vice-President for the ensuing year. Mr. J. A. SMITH, M.P., in seconding the motion, said he trusted that they would show a greater adherence to the course of the unfortunate Poles, nowntrirtnhmepthem. sympathy had in a great degree been w lie entirely agreed with the Noble or e t a ha m t ( public gym ments, and path)? was subject to chills at He believed under certain particular . particular circumstances. times, and in different. that the exertions made in recent places in which the Poles ha d takena part, had tended to create at feeling of alarm i n man y minds which had pre vented persons giving the cause of Poland that open sup port w hich they were ac customed to give , and which they sincerely fele—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") But the Polish cause was the cause of England; it was na tional liberty, and whatever might be the issue in certain places national liberty bad attained a progress which to circumstances and no reverses could shake. It was im possible to doubt that the Poles must sooner or later scare in the consequences of the growing events on the continent ; and though their utmost • " desires—via., the restoration of their nationality—might not be accom plished, yet he confidently believed that they would ulti mately be restored to a state of constitutional liberty, end be secured against the attacks of that arbitrary p ewer of which they hitherto had such grievous season to complain. The events referred to by the Noble Lord in Getlicia were among the bloodiest and cruellest in the annals of history, and he should belie his feelings, both ' the re and elsewhere, if he did not declare his belief that the Poles sere more thee justified in joining the ranks of the Milanese or the Hungarians in their resistance to Austria.—(Hear, hear.) Most heartily did be wish that the struggle of the Hungarians would rprecd and prosper, and that it would lead at least to the establishment of a constitutional Government, and if not to the restoration of the Rationality of Poland.—(Chien~.) Mr. ANSTLY, M.P., moved the appointment of the council for the ensuing year, and observed that the claims which the Poles had upon us was not one of sympathy, but one of justice, for we w ere bound to make every reparation in our power far that great national act of injustice to which this country had been a party.-- (Hear, hear.) The motion was seconded b y Mr. WILCOCKS, and carried. Mr. WILLIAM ADAMS SMITH observed that it bad been said in certain quarters that the cause of Poland was beginning to pall, but sitar TO READING SOCIETIES. .
