Bruce, Esq., Carroll Wat son, Esq., Thomas Young, Esq., Edmond Beaks, Esq., Thos. C. Banfield, Esq., John Carter, Esq., J. W. Wit lock, Esq., and, though last, not least, our distinguished 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 was the custom to hear the annual report read before entering upon any discussion, he would, with their permission, cad upon the honorary secretary to read the report. Wet. LLOYD BIRKDCK, Esq., then proceeded to read 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 contest in Posen which existed at the time of the last annual meeting— that the information received from persons - ot known re. spectability in the grand duchy, and the official documents published by the Germans 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; and that the acts of barbarity attributed to the Poles were, in fact, committed by the Ger mans, who were the aggressors, as is shown by many official and other documents, It added, the Council are now in possession of authentic information com pletely disproving the charge of cruelty brought against the Poles. As an instance, the body of a person ea,mecl Lechner, said to have been mutilated by the Polish peasantry, had 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 of a German Judge of the Supreme Court of Posen, together with letters of an English lady there resident, and other documents, proving the breach of faith by the Prus sian Government, that the Poles were not aggressors, and that the best understanding, had prevailed between the 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 had 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 30,0001. 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 also of the manner iu which the loss is felt and deplored by the Poles. A lucid statement of the income and expenditure of the association was made. The motion of 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 aggression, concluded by expressing a sanguine hope that ultimately the great work of constitutional liberty will bo crowned and consolidated by the restora• tion of the ancient, free, and independent kingdom of Poland to its place amongst the nations of Europe. The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON rose to propose the adoption of the report. Ho regretted that on that occa sion he had not the good fortune to approach the ques tion of the condition of Poland with better prospects or with better hopes of the national regeneration or con stitutional 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 bad for many years been buried in gloom, and that gloom still hung over her. There were, however, still many cheering circumstances for their contemplation, and one of them was to be found in the policy adopted by the Noble Lord at the head of our foreign affairs with respect to the al !airs of Italy. Ho entertained this opinion notwith standing so much blame had been cast upon that Noble Lord. It had been said that if the policy he had pursued of late was allowed to be continued, 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 Sardinia on his throne. They could not anticipate for 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 Hungary and Poland, ior the recovery of their independence, would be successful, and they would be no longer go verned 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 satisfied that the gene rous mind of that Noble Lord would lead him to trace the calumny to its right source, and finding that ho 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' Times 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 be answerable for nor made amenable. The whole of the people of Poland could not be held responsible for the individual acts of every class of their fellow- countrymen. With respect to recent proceedings in the House of Lords, he could not but express his regret that so chivalrous a man as the Earl 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 with 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 Poles would not be quiet— that they went about stirring up commotion, and had taken part in foreign insurrections. Now, though a man of peace, he would wish to see such great constitutional efforts as those recently made by Bem and Dembinski in Hungary. But two Poles 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 state of things it became a ques tion whether Austria or Hungary should govern Poland. With respect to the conduct of Prussia towards Poland, ho might say that in not one particular had the King of Prussia. kept the promises which he had made to Poland during the last two years.—(Hear, hear.) They were given to understand that the first act of Prussia would be the freedom of that part of Poland under her sway. On the contrary, every Russian or Hungarian barbarity was seconded by Prussia.

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 Sclavonie nations—(Cheers)—among the first of the civilized nations of the earth.—(Hear, hear.) He had had much communication with the natives of Poland, and he had found them accomplished and moral, and it gave him much pleasure on that occasion to bear testimony to their merits.—(Cheers.) Mr. MONCKTON MILNES, M.P., secondel the motion. Though they had been in the habit at their annual meetings of indulging in political conversations, yet, strictly speaking, these were not associated with the objects they had in view; for one of the most valuable objects of the association was, that it brought to sit round the same table people, and round the cause of Poland men of all shades of political opinion, who could feel a sympathy for the great wrong and n ee: ot. different perpetrated political up o n Poland.feelings the last century on the which that mighty deed had and connected thena i by e a common_ uring bond of sympathy for Polish nation—au injury injuryt , the e b r g o r t e t ga which cast upon t emission to say that nothing • • he asked pe the proposition, wipe out.—(year.) In seconding 1 1 member could be considered ht injury icthh e beiandpfle persons d uttered by any individu a l at the same time as committing any other member of the association. In the present complicated state of Europe it was difficult for Englishmen to obtain sufficient information to direct them in many matters of foreign policy ; and it was also difficult to divest themselves of their own political views, in order to come to the true consideration of all these subjects. When they considered the great conflicts going on between the Sclavonic and German races, it was difficult to reconcile the different political opinions held by indivi duals with respect to them ; and therefore he conceived that it was not inconsistent for English 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. He did not 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, to 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 seriously, could not help asking with surprise how long it was in the his tory of mankind before a great decd of injustice is obli terated from their history ?—(Hear, bear.) It was dif ficult to say how far the present evils that afflicted Europe would have been avoided if the Polish kingdom had remained where it was. He was not unwilling to believe that a great portion of the Polish.refugees were themselves inclined .to let the. cause of their country slumber, and to steal peaceably into countries where they were likely' to obtain relief ; but, nevertheless, ho did conceive that it would argue a great contradiction of human nature, if they were to demand from men, without a nation, all respect for a nation and national rights ; or Aar require the same sympathy from them in the cause of order, that men who had been driven from their homes and countries by the greatest act , of injustice ever inflicted, as from those who possessed a nation. Whatever evils, therefore, that might have arisen from the interference of members of the Polish nation in the governments of Germany, the blame must rest with those governments, who 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.--(H ear , bear.) [Lord Beaumont here entered, and was muc h cheered.] This was the more necessary, since it was uudeniahle that a large portion of the ancient Polish kingdom was very much wrapped up with the German nation. They wore, in fact, in very much the same same position as were the English and Irish in certain parts of Ireland. lie called upon the Poles to well consider the question, as it was not the same thing to re-establish a kingdom such as Poland, as it would have been to preserve it had it never been destroyed.—(Cheers.) He 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 them at the present division of the 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 quest i on . They had nothing whatever to do with the part which the Poles cheesed to take in the affairs of Poland, as long as 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 be entertained with regard to what was going on on the continent, he did not see anything whatever to prevent the strongest Conservative or the most hopeful Liberal agree in the Polish ranks. — ( ing around that table in exp Hear, hear) H their e firmly fervent believed by the restoration of th at nationality, which, althou g h ressing interest marred of its outward space, still lived in the heart of on a much better foot ing, and much approaching evil prevented. — (Cheers.) every Pole, and was , th erefore, indestructible, that the affairs of Europe wou ld be pl a ced Lord BEA.UNON T sai d, as that was a period of action ra ther than a period of words, he p romised to occu py their attention but a ver y few minutes. He had hoard it lately observed in more than one place, that dur in g the troubles in Euro p e the Poles were always f o remost in ever y a g itation or dis turbance in whatever quarter it mig h t arise, a nd whether l good or bad, except indeed, as his lion. Friendree observed, in this country, that the Pole was fm n resisting the existing authorities, and in ohcaousshtea wasdi promoting the progress of revolution. 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 done. Some years ago Europe com mitted a great crime —(Hear, hear)—it committed the great crime of allowing a nation to be blotted out of the map; it committed a great crime by allowing mauradersi to overrun and destroy a nation; and it did worse—it connived at the event, tor it made no attempt to resist it. The consequence of that conduct was now visible through. out Europe. The Pules were without a home, without a country, and what could they possibly do, scattered as they were over the face of the world? What was the natural sphere in which th e y cou ld act ? They could not become the subjects of any other country, without giving up, on principle, the exi s t ence o f t h e i r o wn.--(Hear.) They were strangers throughout the world, and to them became natural a state or confusion, because from a state of confusion alone, after the calm manner in which Europe had locked 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 he would repeat the lines of Shaksperc— " Thus even-Ilan led justice cloth commend The ingredients of the poiscned chalice To his own lips." (Hear, bear.) And they who only looked on at the great and sacrilegious crime which was committed were now tasting the bitter draft which they bad 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 Russia—it was exactly on the spot where the crime was perpetrated, and where a remnant of the Polish people were now lying still, w ithout justice being lone to them—it was on th a t b a ttl e -field that the conflict would soon begin between the broad liberties and constitutional rights of Europe, and that great apirit of despotism which still stood unshaken and ready pre pared to advance forward in the hope of crushing all attempts for freedom.—(Hear, hear.) It was, therefore, to that part of the globe that they were looking, and the time might come when the rest of Europe might say—" It is well to restore to the people of Poland its ancient constitution, that we may fill up that great place left vacant by Austria, and do that duty which Austria neglected in the hour of need, that we may fill up that place, and do that duty, via., to stand as a bar rier against Russian invasion, and save the constitutional liberties and the freedom of the west of Europe from in vading armies and hordes of Russian and Asiatic whom they had so ill-treated look to those very persons w bar barians." The time might come when they e wn called d u . l .. d th h e a m ve t t o o. position which act a part worthy the high and dignifieduro as one source of independence; and itbehowveo E d eo ache But he should be wrong if he sat down without saying that mo upori England to heldassist am a of fallen u th a e u nations ! o a f s E e p p necessary to carry out any project—that there mnst mo deration, vigorousness of purpose and resolution, were 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 shown, and by doing s so, they might be the means of delivering a people from a bondage whose interest would, in a short period, be common with their own. He concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That the pro gress of constitutional freedom in Germany, an d the successful struggle for its preservation in Hungary, afford reasonable grounds for entertaining the belief that at no distant period the same principles of government will be established throughout ancient Poland." (Cheers.) part d Mr. W. SCIS OLEF IELD, M.P., in seconding th e resolu tion, said, if there wa s one portion oafnahist Honourable liberties they of the Friend's address with wh i c h he sympathised h th a e d a t t a tac ke k u s iu ma d d o e fe u n p d o in n g th th em e respecting rights 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 th a t iniquitous and cruel act which the various Governments of Europe had witnessed, without one single effort to stay or prevent it. He si nce rely wished the P o l e s God-speed is the efforts which they were now making.—(Hear.) The resoluti on was p u t an d carr i e d.

If they sacrificed Poland they sacrificed Europe. They would have witnessed no revolutions on the continent last year if common justice had existed throughout 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 nation he maintained they ought to direct their attention. —(lean) Mr. Tuomsoer IleterecEv, jun., said he had much plea- • sure in seconding the motion. They were doing their duty as citizens of England in selecting for the head of that association a gentleman who had shown himself in every respect and in every position of lire to be actuated by the•purest, the most catholic, and the most general sympathies. It was because ho had never shown one single favour to a Pole which he would not have readily shown 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, he 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 Englanl had any reason to fear the acts of that power.---(Hear, hear.) He thought, however, if they allowed political feelings to become an ingredient iu 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 calculeted to sup port a class of gentlemen who had come to this country as strangers, and had shown themselves meri torious in vihatever 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 camp 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 Cgaraetlei then rose te,reply, and 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 use of these expressions, but I can assure you that ray feelings are 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, handsome, and flattering manner in which they are pleased to speak of me anti of the services I am able to render in the cause which has brought us here to• day. I tender them, and I trust they will accept, my most cordial thanks. I will not dilate further upon that part of the subject, but will assure you that I shall be extremely happy to discharge to the best of my ability the duties which you have laid upon me in connexion with the office of President.—(Hear.) In point of fact I have many years discharged the greater part of those duties, having as vice-president represented the president and acted for him. I have 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 arid 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 ho was confined to his bed, in considering and writing upon subjects connected with Poland.— (Cries of 4 . Hear, hear.") There is one part of his conduct which I shall find it exceedingly difficult to follow—l eaean the princely and munificent way in which he contributed to supply the wants 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 would create very great 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 have 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; ar.d I am sure, gentlemen, you will be kind enough to accept my humble endeavours, and that you will continne to give 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, hear.") Turning, gentlemen, from the professions of my desire to serve you, and of my determination to persevere in losing no opportu nity of rendering 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 year which has elapsed since we last met, on the 3d May, to celebrate the anniversary of the Polish constitution. During that period many events have taken place of the greatest importance to Europe at large, which have a direct bearing on the interests of Poland ; and the interests of Poland, indeed, aro so intimately connected with those of the whole of Europe, that it would be diffi cult for theirs to be effected without ours being so also. — (Hear.) Europe has been in a state of the greatest agitation during the last twelve months; we have seen more than one Sovereign compelled during that time to abdicate his throne; we have seen more than one republic established, and in (very state a degree of agitation and uncertainty has prevailed which has made people fear of maintain ing any kind of government, and which has led even to a total dissolution of the bonds of society.—(Hear.) 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 throughout 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 distinguishes the events of last year, 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 determination 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 freedom. — (Cheers.) Many observations have been made at different times with regard to the proceedings of the Polish body 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 beaded by distinguished Polish generals—(Cheers) —they aro led on to victory an I glory by Polish refugees.—(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.—(Loud cheers.) What they c laim is their constitutional i r n i g a h n t sy d eg ; they re e t claimo be t h a e l i l r u r c e o d n constitution, t ut appeased ion, and they are the ereo offer made to them by Austria, of having a constitution more liberal, as it is pretended, and more democratic than their own.—(Hear, 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, who are :now at the head of her army.—(Hear, hear.) Not long since we have seen those two gallant officers —Dembinski and Bem—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 Bern was here a poor neglected refugee ) deriving all his sub sistence 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 Ave 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, extracted from his body a bullet which had 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, he is now at the head of a successful army ; he has fought and beaten Austria ; he has fought and beaten his old enemy, whom he had before put to flight in the former days of the Polish revolution; he has driven out the Russians from Tran sylvania once, twice, and three times—(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 t the bravery and skill of General Betn.—(Hear, hear,o and cheers.) He, in a great degree, has led them to their present success, ever re- animating their drooping hepes, and endeavouring, with a small force, to f a dvance upon upon the enemy's right a nd left, the result h I trust will be a final and glorious success.—( distinguished by been the it conduct has been hear.) ropriety.—alear , hOat differentv h e er events borne parts some o a m v have eo taken f raEr part, o place pbeat far wh e r less ehy.rh satisfactory they ee y courage, by ability, and by p officers, had the command of the Sardi ssh p 0 e in s war were nian army.

SHOCKING CASE OF CHILD-MURDER AT BATH, AND DEATH OF THE MOTHEIL—BA.TEI, MAY 3.—A shocking case of infanticide occurred in this city yesterday, and was speedily followed by the death of the unhappy mur dercss. It would seem that in the course of Tuesday night a female servant, in the service of Captain An derson, of 15, St. James-square, was seized with sudden not illness. Her fellow-servant , who sle p t with her, had the least suspicion of her pregnancy, but states that she was restless, appeared in pain, and got out of bed. As a long time elapsed before hor 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 feeling throug ho u t the neighbourhood in which it occurred. [PRICE SD. a fair chance given to him, and had been tolerably sup ported, that he would have given as good an account of his victory over General Radetzky,:as Bem had given of his defeat of the Austrian generals in Transylvania. —(Hear.) But the conduct of the King of Sardinia had been most extraordinary; he had been constantly ad vised by General Cbrzanowski not to precipitate affairs, and not to interfere with the armistice, because he told him that the 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 held the same language; but Charles Albert, by some kind of infatuation, would not be persuaded, and to such a degree di l he carry his conduct that war was declared without the general in-chief being consulted or informed 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—if 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 ho had to oppose a powerful force of 70,000 With an army of 40,000, more than half of which who were Lombardi refused to fight at all. Now, the most cOnsummete general cannot. expect to win a battlii . when neorb than .half .his army refuses tie fight. The "r' airing' 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 on 'the fatal field of battle.—(Hear, hear.) This is a very melancholy part of the subject, and cer tainly not more success has attended those Poles who had taken a part in the Sicilian cameaign. 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.--(Hear.) 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. Those at the head of the Austrian Government are, I am afraid, men without judgment, without experience, without talent, and without information. Schwarzcnberg 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 100,000 men. I say it is to be expected, but I won't say that it is to be feared, because I really think we, who are the friends of 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 power ; 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 largo armies of former times crumbling to pieces without being able to effect their objects when they attack the liberties of a determined people.— (Hear, 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 whate►er measures they can to defend themselves ; and though their de mands be now moderate, though they only ask for their constitution, is it to be 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 the Turks, who have been lung tired of the insolent manner in which the Russian Government has held them, and who have been driven, no wonder, 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 &cm other nations, will assist them to achieve liberty all over Europe? Isit not probable that that they may be 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 despotism and the re-establishment of true liberty throughout all the nations of the world?—(Cheers.) I trust it may be so, and I believe if we attain that liberty our success will be 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 mkt n 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 tenn marked this year by adverse circumstances ; not, indeed, that those brave men have done anything to dis entitle them to the continued sympathy of the inhabitants of this country—nothing of the kind ; here there conduct has always been quite good ; and during the past year of excitement and troubles it has been as good as in any former yeai. 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 z-itilous 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 these 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 some who said they knew it, because they had received information to that effect from the police. I utterly deny that it was true. I made inquiry, and I found that not one Pole bad been brought before a magistrate on account of any charge of the kind. One portion of the report mentions that a person was taken up in Ire land, suspected of being connected with the rebels there, but it was not proved that he was a Pole, although it was proved that he had nothing to do with the rebels.— (A laugh.) We must, however, admit that there 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 as I find it.—(Hear, hear.) But I think we must admit, ,in consequence of what passed in the House of Commons, which is probably well known to all the gentlemen here, that last year when the vote for the Poles was proposed, some objection was made as to its amount, and that some remarks fell from some Hon. Members 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 heen 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 he 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 Hon. 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 be unac 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 would be a good reason for refusing to grant any further assistan ce h to them. But my answer to that is , that it is not case—(Hear, bear) —they cannot go to theirthoew c ontinent homes; they they are not allowed to go to that pa rt of of which they are natives; it is true there for those belonging to the p arts of the c o u i sn tnrose under y excu se y u Austria and Prussia , but the fact is they f that part under have gone long ago—(Hear, hear) —but the natives .s o ed three-fourths of the dominion of Russia, which comp the Poles at least, no out.—(Hear, more dare g p o r d i b r a i c y k en to their homes now than the day after they were not to refuse the grant, hear.) The object, however, was but to obtain from the Chancellor of the Exche quer a promi se that he would make an inquiry i n to the cases of t hose who recieved relief, and remove all those names from the list who were no t receiving any. The inquiry is now going on, but it is carried en with more rigour than I think is necessary. Ido not 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 refugee had ob tained a small Bulls 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 institute such 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 poled 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 are likely to be called upon for further assistance at a time when we will be very little able to give it.—(llear.) But we must do the best we can, and I sin sure you will not relax any of your endeavours to pro vide for the wants of those brave patriots who were ipiven here for zoisult o£ their own, but in , consequence of their attachment to their country and of a determi nation never to cease their exertions until they obtained their rights.—(Cheers.) Perhaps I am not justified in over altogether the attack which was made in the fuse of Peers of a very peculiar nature, and one FO well calculated to throw discredit and obloquy upon' the objects of it, and to hold them up to the public odium, 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.) It 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 W'S Made upon the unfortu n ate Polish refugees in the House of Lords by the Earl of Eglinton. I must confess I heard of it with a great deal of pain. I wish to speak of it in more measured terms now than I should have done im mediately after it occurretl, but I must say that the kind of attack was eminently calculated to excite feelings of animosity and irritation among the Poles, aed if they had resorted to some unbecoming course, to testify their feelings, no one could wonder at it, however their friends might have lamented it.—(llear, hear.) 'But they acted with that propriety which has always marked their con duet since they have been here, end I , ave maintained e. dignity which it is easier to assume when a man is charged with an offence of which he knows he is inno • cent, than when be knows himself guilty.—(llear, hear.) But their calmness did not arise from any degree of in difference. No; as soon as the attack was 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 persons who were indignant at the course which had been , pursued, and that if they failed in that quarter, I would myself take tho first opportunity of defending theme but that I wits 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 nobletrete of high character — one certainly who could not be supposed to look upon such charges as were made by Lord Eglinton, mit supposing them to be true, with any degree of indif ference, or without the utmost reprobation—the Earl of Ilarrowby put a question to the Government on the subject. Now it is not becoming to be precise in these 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 foiled " 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, Lard 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. Poles in general. lam in a position to explain the meaning of "hardly the sliv,htest 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, Portsmouth. 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, because in point of fact one of them was doubtful. That is the real state of the case. Now I must say 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, hear)—but the charge has been dis proved, 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, suffering all the evils of poverty, most of them having fallen from a state of affluence to penury, and unable to defend themselves — ought not men to be very careful in bringing forward charges of this nature, ought they not to satisfy them selvts that the charges were true, and were not mere phantoms of their own imaginations ?—(Hear, hear.) I am quite dispose to make allowance for bad opinions entertained by others ; I have a strong, earnest con viction in favour of the Poles, but men's minds are lo constituted, that others may take a view hos tile to mine. I do not complain of that. I cannot help 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 conduat of Austria in Wallachia, whin hundreds of G el- Helen noblemen were assassinated by paid assassins. On that occasion some high-minded, generous French Peers denounced the conduct of the Austrian Govern ment, and called upon the French Minister to make some demonstration in favour of the Poles. M. Guizot replied, that as he had no hope of doing anything prac tical for them, he would not hold out 'Ley fallacious hopes, observing—" Ii n'y a rien d'aussi mal qua de tromper le malht ur."—(Hear, hear.) Count Montalem bt rt replied—" II y a quelque chose de plus mal, c'est de flatter lo malheur." It has been reserved, however, to a British Peer—to the Earl of Eglinton—to do that which never entered into the contemplation of the French House of Peers—" Insulter le malheur." 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 plumes, pennants, and rich dresses. — (Laughter.) The Noble Earl seems to have forgotten the old Roman motto " motto, quam videri." _ .ear, hear.) I will ask a - 11 those who brirg themselves „o 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 due to the dignity of a p'er; can it be regarded with satisfaction by any man who considers what are the duties of a Christian? I will pass from this painful subject, and I trust that some good may have resulted from it, and I am inclined to think that it has established the Poles more firmly in the opinions and regards of those who consider and reflect, whatever it may have done with the frivilous and inconsiderate. I have no doubt that the roles 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 taking a part in the different struggles proceeding upon the continent; yet I think there is too good sense, too much justice in the people of this country not 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 takings part as they have done:in the different ceuntriss of Europe, have done nothing which, as Poles, they were justified in d )ing.—(Haar.) Can it be denied that if the Poles are enslaved, turned out of their hon.ei, per secuted for their religion, and maltreated, that they have not a perfect right to take advantage of every oppor tunity 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 every one or each of the partitioning Powers.—(Hear, hear.) I don't advise them to do so upon all occasions, but I do advise them to take advan tage of the best eceasions.—(Hear, hear.) So far from the Pole having been found on every side throughout to different parts of Europe, as some have said, he bas always been on the side of liberty. It seems 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 TOWNSHEND, 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, now that the em. public sympathy had in a great degree been weaned fro m He entirely agreed with the Nob le Lor d tha t w publicets and sym pathy was subject to chills at particular oinn u nder certain particular circumstances. He believed that the exertions made in re_ ceuttimcs,and in different places in which the Pole s had taken a part, had tended to create al f ee ling of alarm in many minds which had pre vented persons giving the cause of Poland that open sup were accustomed to give, and which por t which they they ear, sincerely fele—(Cries of " Hear, h ear.") But .the Polish cause was the cause of England; it was na tional liberty, and whatever might be the issue in certain • pieces national liberty had attained a progress which no circumstances and no reverses could shake. It was im possible to doubt that the Poles must sooner or later share in the consequences of the g rowing events on the continent ; and though their utmost desires—viz., 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, and be secured against the attacks of that arbitrary power of which they hitherto had such grievous reason to complain. The events referred to by the Noble Lord in Gallicia were among the bloodiest and cruellest in the annals of history, and he should belie his feelings, both there and elsewhere, if he did not declare his belief that the Poles were more than justified in joining the ranks of the Milanese or the Hungarians in their resistance to Austria.—(llear, hear.) Most heartily did he wish that the struggle of the Hungarians would spread and prosper, and that it would lead at least to the establishment of a constitutional Government, and if not to the restoration of the nationality of Poland.—(Cheers.) Mr. ANSTEY, M.P., moved the appointment of tke 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 were bound to make every reparation in our power for that great national act of injustice to which this country had been a party.— (Hear, hear.) The motion was seconded by Mr. WILCOCKS, ar.d carried. Mr. WILLIAM ADAMS SMITH observed that it had been said in certain quarters that the cause of Poland was beginning to pall, but after
