From this it appears that the total emigration of last year was 329,937, being 38,827 less than in 1852. There was a diminution of 26,480 to Aus tralia, and 13,376 to the United' States, the falling off being accounted for in the case of Australia by the greater excitement regarding the gold discoveries prevalent dur ing the summer and autumn of 1852, and in that of the United States by the departure of a smaller number of Irish, the aggregate emigration of the latter people throughout the year being estimated at 199,392 against 224,997 in 1852. The remittances from their relatives in America were, however, larger than in any previous year, the amount sent through the various banks, apart from private channels, being 1,439,9001. With respect to the Australian emigration, the total from the United Kingdom t , , all the col vies was 61,401, or about one fourth of that of the United States. Subjoined, are the general figures : United States Australia : New South Wales Victoria South Australia Western Australia .

There has been a continual diminution in the departures to the United States, but in those to Aus tralia, although there is a great falling off as compared with the first quarter of last year, there is a considerable increase as compared with the first quarter of 1852. Of the total 49.756 emigrants, 26,128 were Irish, 12,430 English, 2,965 Scotch, and 8,233 foreign or unspecified. This proportion of Irish is mush smaller than in 1852 or 1853.'

RATHER COOL.--We last week recorded the escape of a prisoner from the custody of Police -constable Furminger, by jumping out of the train while passing through the Lewes tunnel. The runaway contrived to effect his escape, and in spite of all the efforts made has as yet avoided recapture. On Saturday week, however, tidings of his " whereabouts" reached th e consta bl e, in the shape ofa small but heavy parcel sent from Croydon per rail, and addressed to Furminger at Three Bridges Station. On the parcel being ctlivered, and 6d. for carriage having been duly paid, Mr. Furminger opened it with considerable curiosity, when he 'discovered a pair of handcuffs, with a polite intimation from his runaway prisoner that he had, with Many thanks, returned the " bracelets ," which were " rather too small"—a matter, however, ' which he, the runaway, bad " n o do u bt th ey could make all ri ght the next time they met." Poor Furniinger's mortification Was - intense.--Sussex Adver tiler, THE CRIMEA. Our dates from the Crimea now extend to' the 16th of September, as will he seen by a telegraphic despatch received by our War Minister, the Duke of Newcastle, and' published by his authority in another. column. It now appears that on the 14th the troops were only 30 miles, instead of 40 or 50, from Sebastopol —having been landed a consider able distance on the right of Eupatoria. It is quite probatle, therefore, that by this time—Sept. 25," eleven days after the landing of our infantry— Sebastopol, with a slice of the Crimea, are in the possession of the Allies. This likelihood tempts the mind to project itself by conjecture into the future. What effect is the news that the Crimea has been wrested from the Czar.likely to produce in. the interior Of the Russian Empire ? Among the Russians proper, the superstitious reverence for the Emperor in which they are trained from child 4 hood, and ' their bigotted attachment to their na tional church, joined with their. utter incapacity to estimate the comp ara ti ve strengt h s o f R uss i a and the powers that are in arms against her, may awaken• an enthusiastic and obstinate spirit of defiance to the foreign invaders. But the purely Russian population of the Empire is only met 'with a great way to the north of Perekop, where the Crimean Peninsula joins the mainland. South of Kiew the indigenous population is made up of Cossacks of various denominations—of the Ukraine, Don, and Ural, and Tartars, and Jews. The colonies that have been settled among those pop u l a ti ons -- on . th e seaboard, the Dnieper, the Don, and the Volga—are composed in the least part of Russians; they are Germans, Greeks, Armenians, Italians—fugitives or ad venturers from all nations, not naturally imbued with much enthusiasm for Russian customs, and alienated, by Russian modes of government. If we extend our view further to the north on the west of Kiew we find ourselies in the Polish provinces which have so often revolted, and are only kept from again revolting by something very closely resembling a permanent system of martial law. If we turn to the provinces on the Volga, we find numerous tribes of Tartars still adhering to the Mahomedan faith, and cherishing their traditions of consanguinity with tribes of the Crimea and the regions which extend from the Caspian to the Chi nese frontier. The spirit of independence among thesenou-Russian populations may have been broken by longyears of Russia's iron yoke—their disaffection may have waned"to a tame grumbling, linked with an incapacity of bold action ; but they have all, especially the Cossacks of the Don, been kept in a state of chronic irritation and embitterment by forcible levies, year after year, to recruit the armies of the frontier, and by corvees (rabota) to make roads and maintain the postal communications of the empire. Since the war began, their customary discontent has been aggravated by increased taxes and more unreasonable compulsory levies of recruits. The news of the fall of Sebastopol would be re ceived throughout the whole of these populations with at least a passive pleasure. And if that event were followed up by incursions of the Turks into Bessarabia (which defective police arrangements have allowed to become a kind of asylum for the serfs who have escaped from other provinces)—by incursions of Ciicassians and other hostile Cauca sian tribes of the Don and the Volga—and by the occupation of Akerman, Odessa, Nikolaiev, and Taganrog by English and French troops, the allegiance of the provinces we have been passing in review to the House of Romanoff would soon be in a very tottering condition. The capture of Sebas topol will open to the allied powers a field of action, by boldly precipitating themselves into which they can easily, effectually, and permanently clip the wings of Russia. But if they relax in their efforts, and stand idly still, indulging in vain self-glorification, the capture of Sebastopol will remain barren of results—a mere demonstration that French and English soldiers combined can thrash the Russians, a problem which might safely have been assumed to be self-evident. Intimately associated with these anticipations of what may or may not be about to happen, is the question, what is Austria doing ? This question Dresses all the more urgently upon the mind that there is a manifest disposition on the part of the newspapers devoted to the Ministry to keep back from the public all information regarding the doings of the Austrians in the Wallachian provinces. Yet the Austrian and other German journals devoted to Austria are daily announcing, in terms less and less equivocal, intentions on the part of Austria tamely to acquiesce in which would be treason on the' part of the Western Governments to their ally, Turkey, and to the two great nations in whoSe name they act. The last circular addressed by the Prussian Government to its envoys at the different German courts complains that Austria, in sending its armies into the Danubian Principalities, has not been actuated by a pure regard to " German inte rests." In reply to this imputation all the jour nalists in the' pay of Austria have drawn their pens to prove that Austria in occupying the principalities has acted excluSively for the benefit of Germany. A Writer in the Allgemeine Zeitung says : " The duty of Germany appears to be 'first of all by unequivocal demonstrations to compel a peace (Frieder& zu erzwingen). We say to compel, for it is certain that the western powers know very well that the business cannot be settled without the sword of Austria, and that Austria will not move a step without the decided sup port of Prussia, and the assured support of Germany. If things remain as they are, Sebastopol and the Crimea will be captured this year by the Crusaders in behalf of the Crescent (Halbmondfahrer) ; but next year the Rus sians, with redoubled might, will beat the French, Eng lish, and Turks, out of their land, and everything will hare to be begun anew." We pass over in silent contempt the braggadocio which represents the Western Powers as dependent on the good-will of Austria, and the spiteful nick name bestowed upon them of " Crusaders in behalf of the Crescent," to come at once to the exposition of Austria's views on the principalities " Whatever opinion may be entertained of the demand that the Russian protectorate of the Principalities shall cease, it is certain that nothing short of their entire in dependence of all Turkish interference in their internal relations, and a guarantee of their rights and liberties, and even of their neutrality, like what has been given to the Swiss, by all the gn at Powers of Europe, can set them in the way to develope their resources. Even this would insure but slender gain to Germany. Germanic interests could only be maintained by placing those lands under the exclusive protection of Austria and the Ger manic Confederation. Austria has allimed earlier op portunities of bringing about this state of affairs to to escape it, and the Westeru Powers are not likely to acquiesce in it now. The time for Germany to take this point into consideration will be when the Western Powers explain in detail their views with regard to the future protectorate." This is tolerably plain speaking. A writer in the Vienna Lloyd throws some light upon the steps that are being taken by Austria to realise its wishes : " Austria, by occupying the principalities, has a pledge in its bands that the Protectorate of Russia is at an end. * * * The confidence of the Western Powers in Austria is boundless, and the Principalities will be entirely handed over to the Austrians. Stirbey has to thank the influence of Austria that he has regained his throne as Hospodar. M. Laurin, the Austrian con sul, has in this matter played a master-stroke of policy, and prevailed upon Derwish Pacha, who left Constanti nople with entirely different instructions, and Omer Pacha, who had quite a different plan for the recon struction of the Hospodarate, to comply with the wishes of Austria. This Prince is under suspicion for his tam pering with Russia, and the permanence of his • power will depend entirely upon the manner in which he con ducts himself." In other words, Stirbey owes his re.:appo a intrns he to Austria, and will retain it only so long d w o it e i s whatever i the eindic Austria is indications sof Austrianwie is. I po n lie c y om w b h i i n c a h ti w on e have just been quoting, our readers will do well to ' recall to memory the termination of the gene ral council described in the last letter of our Bucha rest correspondent, when Omer Pacha declared that rather than submit to the re-appointment of the corrupt and traitorous Stirbey he would resign his command. It is true that Vienna news is not implicitly to be relied upon ; but all these ante cedents tend unfortunately to render snore pro bable the announcement from Vienna which we publish to-day, that the Turkish troops are evacu ating Wallachia, and that on the 16th instant, Omer Pacha arrived at Rustchuk on his way to Varna. If this intelligence prove true, Austria may be considered as having succeeded (for the present) in its selilsh and unprincipled game of detaching the Principalities from Turkey to a greater extent than formerly, and of obtaining for itself greater power over them as Protecting State, than ever was possessed by Russia. How will the Western Powers look if they allow ;themselves to be thus outwitted by Austria ? They will have broken their promise to the Sultan to maintain the integrity of his empire. They will have rescued the Wallachians and Moldavians from the tyranny of Russia only to hand them over to the ty ranny of Austria. • And by this complicitywith des potism they will nnt even succeed in putting an end to the war. The Emperor of Russia is not likely to for give Austria for having outwitted him. The German sovereigns are almost to a man the rela#iins and hirelings of the Emperor of Russia, and Op more ` over not likely to be gu ll e d by th e pre , Wrie that adding to the overgrown dominions of Aiitria can in any way benefit them. Austria must hold its new acquisitions by its own military strength.. But to move soldiers into the Danubian Principalities, it has been obliged to withdraw them from Other pro vinces: The troops recently marched into Gallicia have further weakened the permanent garrisons by which those other provinces are kept in sub jection. The object of marching troops into Gal licia is at best problematical. It has been somewhat hastily assumed that they are sent to guard against a Russian invasion ; may they not have been sent to forestal a Polish insurrection ? This is one of the nightmare visions which at present haunt the Austrian Government. " What if,Austria agrees to attack Russia ?" asks the writer in the Allgemeine Zeitung. "Is it prepared for the re.establishment of Poland, the surrender ,Of Galli cia to a new Polish Kingdom, th e surrender of Posen by PruSsia, and the re-acquisition ofFin land by. Sweden ? Would Austria be. couipen4ated for these changes by obtaining the Danubian Princi palities, ?" The truth is that Austria, seardely able at present to maintain its authority in thepon-Ger man provinces would, by seizing the Principalities, add to its difficulties without increasing its strength. It would provoke at once hostile aggression from without, and insurrection within. By -coming the accomplices of Austria, France and ngland would not only tarnish their honour—bu burden themselves with a threatened and helples ally.— Daily News. THE PRUSSIAN CIRCULAR DESPATCH. and other German journali, publish the, circular The New Prussian Gazette, the Augsb ur o a z ette; ' despatch on the Eastern question, addressed by the Cabinet of Berlin to its diplomatic agents at foreign Courts. The New Prussian Gazette, in giving this document, says that since it was written the Prus sian Cabinet has drawn more closely towards Aus tria ; but at the same time, this journal denies the' statement in the Vienna journals, that some of the German Governments, particularly Saxony' and Bavaria, have expressed an intention to support the demand made upon Russia for guarantees. , The New Prussian Gazette, which, as our readers know, has the reputation of being an organ of the Russian party, asserts that very different accounts of the in tentions of the German Powers have been , received at Berlin. The circular, which is dated the 3d instant, is as follows : " Shortly before the adjournment for some weeks of the sittings of the Diet, the Eastern affair was brought forward in the respective committees ; but no resolution was taken, the envoys not being provided with sufficielit instructions. As, consequently, it is to be expected that, • after the re-opening of the sittings of the Diet, the united committees will again occupy themselves with this im portant affair, H.M. the King, our august master, has thought it his duty in consequence of the intimate Mk tions which exist between him and his German confede rates to communicate to the Governments of the latter, with entire sincerity, the vie% s which will be for him the St. cont t s n r g t h t i o s t a h ff e a i A r. u s T t r h i a e n r e ply despatcho f the of C r' i a v b e i tn o of h f S s c t he ab i l n O e t t h s of , u t h p e p o i tle h d , h a l a n s d r e r a e c e o h n e i d m t e h n e d e G d v b e y r n t i h n a e t n t o f sin ou ce r the aboVe-mentioned last sitting of the committee of the Diet. It is contained in a despatch of Count de Nesselrode of the 14th (26th) ult., addressed to Prince Gortschakoff, and which has been communicated to us, acc enpanied by a short despatch. in reply to the communications we addressed to the Cabinet Of St. Pe tersburg. A copy of the said despatch of Prince Gort schakoffis annexed hereto, and I invite your excellency to communicate it confidentially to the Government to which you have the honour to be accredited. We regret that the Emperor Nicholas has not thought fit to accept a base of negotiations for peace, which responded to the wishes of our august master. However, in examining the situation resulting from this refusal, and, above all, in taking into consideration the declaration made at the end of the Russian despatch, and according to which the Russian troops, when returned to the territory of the empire, will observe an attitude of a purely defensive character, we caunot disregard the great importance which ought to be attributed to it, both in a military and political point of view, as far as German interests are concerned. We conceive that by such a declaration, of so precise a character, the fear of a Russian attack in general, and above all, against, Austria, ought to be altogether set aside; the im portance of the retreat of the Russians cannot be com promised, because Russia again alleges strategical mo tives to justify that retreat. The Cabinet of St. Peters bur!, has already made an abstraction in her declaration of Slane 29, of the theory of pledpis, by designating the occupation of the Principalities exclusively as a military position. She evacuates not only these latter at present, but still more, she declares that she will hold herself al together on the defensive within the Russian territory. If; notwithstanding, that it was intende'd to regard the danger of a possible re -occupation of the Principalities as a question which would compromise German interests in a durable manner, and deduce from it military obli gations, that mode of viewing the subjectrwould lead to this paradoxal result, that whilst all Europe, inoluding the Western Powers, did not at the time look on the occupation of the Principalities by the Russian troops as a cams belli, in a similar case would be found at pre sent in the fact that they have bees there. Looking at these considerations, his Majesty the King is convinced t w h h a i t ch th h e as ad re d f i e t r io en n c a e l article precise ticleofth ah e d real treat alliance tshhe qouludebsteiorengaasrdteodas whetherac therecomplis ehetst ansdatt this hatth m e o r m ep e l n y t a to necessity for any other protection for German interests, conformably to Article 2 of the treaty of alliance, sup poses a previous understanding. If that be applied to the four well-known points, the question is to know whother they so 'respond to German interests as to make it advantageous for the contracting parties to take them as the exclusive basis for future negotiations. If, as had been supposed, the acceptance of this basis was not only many symptoms tehads make been epne sc a io, p )nn p n e eo a cf r t e by Russia, b u t a l so b y the Western Powers (which p a e n a d c e i f t a h n e d re ' remove the un certainty tio more ite cthaunch negotiationsa doubtful),resfuolrt would doubtl ess h ave b een calculated to which still prevails on the subject of the prac tical signification of the four points for German interests.

Now that these bases have been rejected by Russia, and that thus, even if they were considered by the Western Powers as obligatory for them—which is not the case--no immediate negotiations for peace can be connected with them. His Majesty the King, however warmly he might have desired an imme diate negotiation on these bases, cannot find it compatible with his convictions to recommend to his German confe derates the acceptance of the four points, in a manner which might and must lead them into charges and en gagements which do not appear to be called for by the spirit and object of the alliance. His Majesty the King is moreover resolved to persist in the firm arid consistent execution of the alliance as a guarantee for the indepen dent development of German power, and he also thinks it his duty conscientiously to keep aloof from the sphere of engagements which do not belong to the clearly re cognized general interest of Germany, xis Majesty hopes that h e s h a ll b e i n accor d w i th his German con federates i n thi s v i ew o f t h e state of - things, and he also entertains the fullest confid ence that the E m p eror of Austria will not only appreciate it heart and soul, but will also share in it as a German prince. The well known wisdom, the moderation, and the love of country of his Imperial Majesty are for the King, our august master, a fresh guarantee that Austria, Bemired by the declarations of Russia against any attack on her part, will also abstain on her side from any aggressive mea sure against her will thereby avoid complications the necessity of which cannot be deduced from the protection of German interests, and to which consequently Art.ll. of the alliance cannot apply. Our envoy to the Ger manic Diet will be invited to declare himself in the com mittee and in the Diet itself, in the sense of these con siderations, and to support them. In making this known to the Government to which you have the honour to be accredited, and comnsunicatijig this des patch, be kind enough to express the great -importance which we attach to being informed, as soon as possible, what instructions the other representatives to the Diet have received on the subject, "Berlin, 3d S e pt em b er.

Mr. Macgregor, M.P. for Glasgow, met a large num ber of his constituents on Thursday evening in the Mer chants' Hall in that city, for the purpOse. of laying before them an account of his stewardship during the last ses sion of Parliament. The hon. gentleman was accom panied to the platform by Bailies M'Dowall and Mac gregor, Deacon Convener Craig, Councillor M'Adam, Mr. Jas. Henderson, Dr."M'Gre,gor, Mr. G. M'lntosh, Mr. T. M'Gregor, Mr. W. R. M'Phun, Mr. A. Paton, and a number of other gentlemen. • On the motion of Bailie M`Gregnr, Bailie D'Dowall was called to the chair. Bailie M‘DowALL, on taking the chair, said he did not expect, two minutes ago, when be entered the hail below, that this honour wa s to be conferred on him of presiding at a meeting where one of the members of. the. city was to address his constituents. Mr. Macgregor, with a dl mirable spirit, came before them annually as one of their representatives, to detail what had been done in the House of Commons, and he felt convinced they would listen with great pleasure to his statements. They were all well aware how diligent he h . ad been in the discharge of hi* duties, and no one, he (Bailie M‘Dowall) could say, had visited London, on the municipal businesi, of Glasgow, but had been kindly received at all timea.by him, and every assistance in his power rendered them. There was a greatassemblage of talent in the House of Commons, it was well known but he felt convinced that there was no one better qualified for a seat there than their repre,. sentative, Mr. Macgregor: (Cheers.) He. again thanked them for the honour of being appointed Chairman, and had no doubt they would be highly graiified by the statement which would be laid before them. (Applause.) Mr. MACGREGOR was received with loud cheering. lie said—My friends and fellow citizens, your worthy chairman has intimated in fitting terms the nature of my present appearance among you. Since he had met them, he said, a year ago, at the prorogation of Parlia- ment, mighty and great and most important events had taken place connected with the progress and civilisation of the world. As to the proceedings of the late session of Parliament there was only a meagre account to give. They were mostly taken• up with the great question of war and peace, and the best means of curbing that ambitious tyranny which was endeavouring to sub vert the liberties of the world. Little else could be thought of. Yet there was a considerable advance made in the right direction. (Cheers.) He was happy to say that five or six good bills had been passed in re ference to Scotland ; but he regretted the loss of one intended greatly to liberalise the system of education pursued in Scotland, and to make it as non-sectarian as circumstances would admit of. We, in the House of Commons, passed it, but it was unfortunately lost in another place. This he was grieved at. He had many letters from his constituents and different parts of Scot land, urging him to support this bill, and he never sup ported any one with greater pleasure. (Cheers.) Lord John Russell's Reform Bill was a step in the right direc tion, though, not exactly such a measure as he would have framed; but, if passed, it would have led to some , thing a great deal better. (Cheers.) Lord John Russell, he believed, proposed and even withdrew the Reform Bill in perfect good faith, and we must now wait for a more favourable opportunity. He had not much to say of other measures. He would now address himself to the great question of the day—to that series of events now progressing, pregnant with mighty results to the fate of mankind. No year as been so remarkable as 1854. A power whose characteristics were the sup port of tyranny, the robbery of its neighbours, the slavery of its own subjects, was attempting to over throw liberty and crush progress and civilisation. In the year 1689—the year aftor the revolution in Eng land, when the liberties of the nation had been secured —the encroachments of the Czar of Russia began. At that period he bad a population of 15,000,000. At the death of Alexander, in 1825, the population had, by unprincipled conquests, been increased to 58,000,000 ; and at the present moment, by the same means, it had 58,000,000 of the family of mankind, who were held in the most deplorable slavery and the lowest degradation. For himself, he could sincerely say that he was opposed to all wars, except when they had to fight for their liberties. England hail carried on many great wars, all of which he condemned. Since the time of William the Third, wren the French war commenced, we begun a system of accumulating a national debt. From the peace of Rhys wick to that of Utrecht, we had added 68,000,0001. to the debt. We followed until 1816 the system then of drawing upon posterity, but now we are acting on a dif ferent principle—we are paying the cost of war as we proceed, making each year meet its own expense. We haveno right to saddle posterity with our debts. We must no longer tax people without consulting them. (A laugh.) He reprobated all these wars, as th e y were unjust. That which ended in 1713 was undertaken to destroy Louis XIV. He placed his grandson on the throne, however, in spite of us, and the war was ended peace the pe° ITtreCht. We fought against the power of Napoleon, and did, indeed, re-establish the Bourbons; but waat is the consequence? All is overturned, for another Napoleon sits on the throne of Frauce (Cheers.) And it is fortunate for Europe that he rules over that empire. The alliance between England arid France was a blessel reality for the liberties and civilisation) of Eu rope. It was my good fortune (said Mr. Macgregor) to be on terms of intimacy with Louis Napoleon when he was an exile in this country. My house in London was one of the few houses he visited. He (Mr. Macgregor) did not boast of this ; but he valued the sentiments Louis Napoleon entertained with regard to a perpetual alliance with this country—an alliance which would constitute the greatest epoch in the history of civilisa tion. He knew it was the desire of the Emperor to bind the people of the two countries together by material interests, and to do away with those commercial and mercantile restrictions which had so long existed, and of which the Bourbons, and especially Louis were the greatest supporters. The Emperor of the French knew it was the best policy he could pursue. It would unite the people of France and England in close intimacy with each other, for the advancement of social progress, and the cultivation of all the virtues which adorn humanity. He knew also that by so doing he would bind them together by the strongest of all ties —that of material interests. ,The French required many of our products, we required many of theirs; and we taxed their winss and many other articles too high. War was a sad alternative, which only ought to be had re course to in defence of our liberties ; but, without a single claim to justice, the tyrant, as he might call him, of Russia, had taken possession of countries that were sacredly allied to France and England by treaties. Tire whole of this aggression and the pretensions and demands I of the Czar had been submitted first to England and France, and also to Austria and Prussia. But there were only England and France who had earnestly taken , up this question. He admitted that England might not have gone to war. The power that was in this most dangerous position was Austria, consisting of antago ni:stic nations, speaking different languages, and all hat ing each other. This was the country that had most to fear from its late suicidal policy, by inviting Russia to come in to crush Hungarian liberties. That was the country that ought to have dreaded the aggression ; but Austria kept back. We saw clearly that if the Emperor of i Russia had taken possession of the Danubian provinces as Catherine 11. had done of the Crimea, he would soon take possession of Constantinople ; that the Greeks—a race he did not much respect—that really had inherited • the vices and few of the virtues of their ancestors —he meant the vices of mendacity and unfaithfulness—would immediately join Russia. We saw that Asia Minor would be occupied, that the commerce of the Danube would be closed, and that in fact the civilisation of the world would be retarded at least a century, if a stop were not put to this terrible and aggressive despotism. We resolved to protect Turkey—that we should establish a balance:of power, which would arrest that dangerous n aggression which had encroached over a great portion of Europe. Since the accession of Peter the Great, the Russian territory had increased five times. He could state, upon undoubted authority, that it was the deter- • mination of the Governments of England and of France -4A. Voice, "Tell us of Scotland "] —that peace should not be concluded till guarantees were given to both Go vernments that Russia should never attempt to invade the territory of her neighbours, and that each nation should be governed according to the opinion of its own people. He supported the present Government because he believed it to be the best that could be formed at the time. Their policy was that of protecting ; and not of interference with the internal affairs of other nations. Turning to another subject----that of the policy of the British Government in reference to foreign states—he would mention that a citizen of Glasgow had written to him lately to know if the statement was true that Go vernment promised to aid Austria to put down the Hungarians or Italians, supposing they should attempt at the present time to assert their liberty. Now, he em phatically declared tbat the British Government had no such intention. He (Mr. Macgregor) had spoken lately to a member of the Government on the subject, and said to him, "If you bad given such an assurance I would be the first man to move that you be impeached in the House of Commons." (Cheers.) He replied, " We would deserve impeachment if we attempted anything of the kind." In fact, he knew, and could, although not connected with Government, give any assu rance that the policy of the Government was only to interfere to preserve the balance of power, and defend the weak against the strong. Even in 1830 the Duke of Wellington said that the policy of the Government was to preserve the balance of power, and prevent the ag gression of one state on that of another, the very thing we are doing at present. In 1848 I even met at Lord Palmerston's the two Ministers who' came from Sicily. We immediately said, if you establish an independent Government yourselves—you, the people—we will ac knowledge that Government; will receive your Ministers; will do that which we have one with regard to France in relation to tire revolution of 1830 ; yes, we will do regardhereafter, with to all countries, what we h ave done in 1852 with regard to France. (Hear.) It is our policy to acknowledge the Government that the people of every country may establish for tiseniselves ; and I wish to dispel the delusion that the Government of this country would ever interfere in putting down the liberties of any people. I trust that great communities like Glasgow, and the people of tee British empire, would rise at once and say to Ministers, you ought to be impeached if you would do anything that would in terfere with the liberties that are the natural inheritance of the human race. (Applause) We have some intelli gence to-night from the Crimea.

With regard to Austria, I know very well that there is a very large Russian party at Vienna. I believe . that party invited the. Russians to come into Hungary, and I believe Prince Metternich admitted that it was the most suicidal, policy Austria could have adopted ; but still Austria will probably, for her own safety, adhere to the Western Powers. With respect to Prussia, I regret to say that the conduct of that go vernment is vacillating, and most dangerous to Prussia itself. It resembles the policy that country pursued from the time of the treaty of Bask till the fatal events which enabled Napoleon to occupy Berlin and the whole of the Prussian dominions. But of the final success of this war, the re-establishment of peace in Europe,the adearitages to human freedom, and the enlargement of the repreeentation of the people in ma naging their own affairs, whether in Austria, whether in Germany, whether in Italy, or elsewhere, I have not the smallest doubt. I rest my confidence mainly upon the greatest of all events that have occurred—the alliance between France and England. (Great applause.) This alliance is so powerful that the rest of Europe, and all its tyranny, and despotism, and aristocratical preten sions can never withstand it. (Cheers.) And I look on the fruits of that alliance with regard to civilisation, with regard to commercial freedom and intercourse, as the greatest event that has occurred since the breaking down of the Roman empire. (Loud cheers.) Having made these observations with respect to the events passing in Europe, I would now wish to draw your attention to that which more, in a domestic and familiar way, embraces ourselves. But here I must dwell on a great family, speaking the same language, having the same origin, and generally the same worship with our selves, whose ancestors lie buried in the same graves, and with which the progress of civilisation is still more connected than all I have stated to you. I had a remarkable observation made to me by a sagacious obs•_rver while travelling with the American minister the other day. We were speaking about the great events of the day, and the accomplished person to whom I allude said that Russia and England (that is, the Anglo-Saxon race) have been the greatest aggressors in the world. The Russians have been aggressors, spreading and extending despotism ; the Anglo-Saxon race have been aggressors, spreading civi lisation and commercial intercourse over the universe. I consider the Americans, who have the same language, the same worship, and who have our songs, our history, traditions, and our romances, in common, I say that these are the people of all others with whom I should like to sympathise ; because, in the first place, they feel much more keenly anything that is said against them by us than by any other people in the world. (Applause.) In the next place, our material interests are so much connected that about one-fourth of. our commerce is with the United States. I wish to make these expres sions with regard to that country, with a view to pre vent future quarrels and jealousies, because as Lord J. Russell once wrote to me, having once settled all boun dary questions, England and America may live in peace ever after. (Repeated cheers.) When I was at the Board of Trade, a treaty was suggested by Sir Robert Pcel similar to one which has since been concluded—l mean the treaty with regard to fisheries, and the interchange, duty free, between the respective ports of the United States and the British colonies of North America, so that I believe we have entered into a new era of peace with the United States, as well as with France, and that we are now at the commencement of an era with France which will bring us so close by material interests to- gether, that, taking Scotland, England, and Ireland, taking France, taking America, we are now at the head of the civilisation of the world, and may defy all the des potisms and the tyrannies that exist in every other , part of the universe. Now, gentlemen, I tlzink I have ventured as far as either your Faience ought to bear, or as might have been necessary, with regard to our foreign alfaml. I want to stir one or two words with respect to the taxation of the last season ; and when I speak of that taxation, we camnto the resolution that it was much more vase En' us to pay the expenses of thOyea.rduring the year, and be done with it, than to add to the already too heavy National Debt of this country. I know . that v the taxation for the present year must he ery Wgli, but I believe ours was the wisest course of policy ; and in ono of the addresses of one of the greatest men I have ever read of, George Washington, he says—" Never make a war unless you can pay the expense within the year." (Ilear, hear.) You have not the power to con sult posterity with regard to the justice of the war, and you ought never to tax people without consulting them. It was on these grounds that we made up our minds in the House of Commons to raise the expenses within the year. I believe that it will come back to your pockets by extending the commerce of the country, and that it will he seen that the Government have done right in acting as they have done. • (Hear.) I have next to speak of our . own internal affairs. With regard to Scotland, we Piave certain complaints, and many people wish to say a great deal about Scottish grievances. Well, I too have got Scottish grievances to complain of ; but I tell you frankly, I will not join a mere league with regard to Scottish grievances, but whenever I have a grievance put before me I will enter into it with as much ardour as ever a Wallace or any- body else did. (Cheers and laughter.) My first Scot tish grievance•is this--that we are in Scotland ina dequately represented in the government of the coun try. We want that which I long since said was ab solutely necessary for Scotland, which was provided for by the Act of Union—l mean a Minister of State for Scotland, that will not be a mere representative of the Parliament House of Edinburgh, but a representative of the whole of Scotland; to attend his duties in the Cibi- net, and whenever bills are brought forward or a real grievance complained of; and I will never be content to have a mere Lord Advocate—much as I re spect my friend the present Lord Advocate, who istolll pelled by prudence and interest to spend two-thirds of his time in pleading cases in the session courts of Edin burgh. (Hear.) But I have been told in London, " Why, yon are very comfortable in Glasgow—you have a larger city than Manchester. When Manchester feels a grievance it rises and makes a great noise ; but you are very easy in Glasgow—you never complain ; and when there is no complaint, against grievances, we think they are not worth attending to. We know that the real power of Scotland lies in the industry, commerce, shipping trade, and riches of places like Glasgow, and yet Glasgow does not complain." Now, I say Glasgow ought to complain of real grievances, and not to join in imaginary ones, such as having a hat on the head of a unicorn—an animal that never existed. (Hear.) No, no ; complain and represent strongly your real griev ances ; be properly represented in the Government of the country ; when you have bills to bring forward involving the interests of the country, say we want a minister re presenting Scotland. Ireland has her Lord-Lieutenant, Secretary — of State, with the same salary as the Prime Minister of England—her Under-Secretary and her At _ _ torney-General. Scotland has a Lord Advocate—a very good, a most able and high-minded man, but he is a practising advocate, who has taken his fees at the Par liament-house in Edinburgh, and who cannot attend with the dignity of a minister at the Briti-h Parliament, or as a member in the Cabinet. Another grievance is this : since the union of the kingdoms, the expenditure of Scotland has been so small as to be unexampled, be cause the expenditure of most countries amounts to the whole incomes of those countries. There is not a country in all Europe where the expenditure has not amounted to the taxation of the country. What has been the taxation of Scotland ? I . do not go on my own authority up to the year 1804—I go upon the authority of Sir John Sinclair, who, in his "History of the Revenue," shows that three-fourths of the revenue collected by Scotland has been remitted to England and paid into the English treasury, that one-fourth, notwithstanding the rebellions of 1715 and 1745, has been sufficient to pay the whole expense of Scotland, military, judicial, and miscel laneous. In another country—l mean Ireland—the ex penditure has always exceeded the revenue from two to twelve millions. I believe that bad government was the cause of it in Ireland, where matters are now far better managed. We get back none of what we pay in Scotland. Our post-office, our custom-house, every thing, in fact, connected with the collection of the re venue in Glasgow, especially the post-office, is in a most disgraceful condition, and that is one of the evils I com plain of, and about which you ought to exert your selves ; and depend upon it that if we labour under anything like evils or gram - ices, it is our own fault ; for when I look at what has been done with regard to Man chester, a town that did not deserve much of the Go vernment, at least not so much as has been done—they got their grants for their parks, and almost every thing they wished—th e y awe d the Government through their steady and stern perseverance ; and if you want any thin' that is just you must bestir yourselves, you must make public manifestations, you must enable your members who represent you in Parliament to have the authority of your power before you can get anything done by them. If you act feebly yourselves you render your members also feeble. I s hould bo a much more efficient member representing a rotten borough which was once offered me in Devonshire than representing the people of Glasgow, other unless people appear strong at my back. The ques tion, as far as I am aware, that remains to be explained icy me is a vote which I gave with regard to thebill ()re gulating the University of Oxford. I voted then in 13- position to my colleague and to some members repre senting Scotland. I voted on this ground. I had a representation made to me that a very meritorious grant wan made to the 'University of 12 1 - 10PW_ &Mat worthy man, a Mr. Snell, w h o owed great obli gat i ons to the University himself. That was done for the p pose of enabling this University to appoint certain par. sons to go up to the University of Oxford and acqui lm , honours there, and it is perfectly true that under that grant great men did obtain honours at the University o f Oxford, and none greater than Adam Smith. Mr. Glad. stone thought fit to introduce a clause into this bill fin, the purpose of abolishing the appointments under simila z grants in England. The proofs that he adduced to Th e were strong, and I will only adduce one, the Schooil of Winchester. He found that the appointments there were actually jobbed by trustees who had never bee* there ; and said' to me that he must interpose a clause against such abuses. I said—lf you do not make a re. servation in the case of the Snell grant, I must bring my whole force to bear against you. Lord John Russell and Mr. Gladstone both generously admitted that the circumstances of the Snell grant, as affecting the Univer sity of Glasgow, were so different from all • the other; that they would admit a provision into the act, so that without the consent it could not come under the restric tion. I therefore voted with the Government in regard to the Education Bill. I believe I never gave a more conscientious vote in my life, and I wished for this op. portunity to explain what I have dune. (The hon. mein. ber then resumed his seat amid loud applause.) Mr. Bums, writer, rose in the body of the hall, and said—The hon. member has alluded to an association of which the Earl of Eglinton is said to be the head. As a humble member of that association, I take the liberty of asking the hon. member a question. He has referred in the course of his speech to the serious disabilities under which Scotland labours, and has told us that Scot land never will get redress of this until she makes a strong and united remonstrance against them. I would ask him in what shape should Scotland make that re monstrance ? Mr. MACGREGOR said—l rejoice in having questions put to me, because I do not consider myself more than other persons influenced by the infirmities incident to humanity, and for me to say what would be the best and most efficient way to make the remonstrance would be, perhaps, a presumption on my part. But I stated one of our principal grievances —that is, that we are not prop er l y represented in the mi n i s t r y o f this takes fees from any Dandle country—that we cannot be properly represented by an Advocate who .prudently Dinmont, or anybody else, at Edinburgh ; and that Scotland itself should make declarations, and never rest satisfied until it has obtained its unbounded right, a Secretary of State. I say the people of Scotlrucd, and the commercial and county constituents should them. selves, every one of them, separately and distinctly, make these representations, and make their members advocate the redress of those grievances in Parliament. (Cheers.) But Ido not wish to go back to those feudal ideas connected with the barbarous history of our coun try. I want to talk of the real grievances which affect our civilisation ; and, above all, to prevent any Govern. ment increasing that tendency to centralisation which has been manifested for so long a time. I want that the municipalities of Scotland should retain their own self. governments ; and this is a question which affects your civil. religious, and political liberties. These are the ways by which I wish to effect these objects. Let the muni cipal governments of the different cities and towns ex press their opinions, as some towns in England have done. But I do not wish to have any political league, although I will support some things which political leagues may advance. Let Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dun dee, Aberdeen—let the great representatives of the wealth and industry of the country bestir themselves and exhibit their grievances, and say we not only de. mand it of Parliament and the Government, but we will not return any member to the house of Commons who will not advocate the removal of all these grievances which I have mentioned. These are the only practical remedies : let them come through the representations of the people. Mr. BURNS inquired if the bon, member was a mem ber of the Corn Law League ? If so, what objection had he to the principle of a league. Was it because the u sociation he referred to was of the character of a league that he objected to join it I Mr. MACGREGOR—I object to it as a league, and to join it as a league, because it proposes certain things which I consider inconsistent with the times—feudalism being gone for ever. I could not be a member of the Corn Law League in virtue of an office I held at the time ; but that league acknowledged that they owed as much to my free-trade exertions as to and• ether man in the country. (Loud cheers.) Mr. 131.7nzes inquired again —Did the association to which you have alluded ever make the putting of a hat on the head of a unicorn a point of Scottish grievance Mr. MACGREGOR said that really from his own know ledge he could not say. But a representation of the animal in this condition was a very prominent object in the engravings which had been sent to him on the sub ject. (Laughter.) Mr. BURNS I have noticed that you have used the term "England" throughout your address when speak. ing of the Government, as if Scotland did not exist—is that correct ! Mr. INLkCGREGOR owned that he had often used the word " England" when referring to the British empire, and explained it on the ground of usage or inadver tence. He admitted that it should be called " United Kingdom," as including Scotland, its proper name since tae Union. He always upheld the idea that Scotland W3S entitled to he recognised as great portion of the em pire, as ;•be was an important part of it. It was the lib,,ral majority of Scotland that turned out the late D,rbv Government. At the division tam Derby peaty . had 15 of a ina j•,rity from all England ; o? 5 from ali England and Ireland ; but from all England and Ireland with Scotland the scale was turned, and they were in 19 of a minority—(cheers)—so you see here that the liberill majority of Scotland turned out the Derbyites, and it is to the Scotch members, whatever the present minisers may think of Scotland, that they owe the fact of their being in office. (Loud cheers.) Mr. WINK, accountant, asked if the hon. member could assign any reason why 200,0001. should be paid to the police in London and Dublin, and nothing to the police in Scotland, and whether he had voted ,against that appropriation ? Mr. MACGREGOR did not recollect whether he had been present when that question had been discussed or not, but had always objected to such a principle of par tiality. His vote, should such a case again occur, would be guided by the circumstances of the case. Mr. WINK asked if he would vote against the 160,000/. given out of the national funds to the chari ties of London and Dublin, seeing that Scotland got nothing ? Mr. MACGREGOR said it would depend on each case, as it came before him, how he would vote. He bad always protested against all partiality, and would make every effort to get justice done to Scotland. But re garding the English and Irish charities, he must say that he would not em bitt er th e li ves of individuals, per haps 70 or 80 years of age, by withdrawing support that had once been allowed them. A gentleman in the body of the hall asked—How did you vote with regard to Forbes Mackenzie's Bill ? Mr. MACGREGOR—With respect to that bill I did not vote at all, hut I spoke against the bill, and I spoke at the same time against the excessive consumption of ardent spirits in Scotland. I hold that ignorance and immorality cannot be alleviated by act of Parliament. but by elevating the tastes of the people and by substi tuting more innocent recreation. He further stated that he would not ♦ote for a repeal of the bill until it got a fair trial. Mr. Bnowx, among other matters, demanded an ex planation why Mr. Macgregor had been present at only 70 out of 270 meetings of the house? Mr. MACGREGOR said that he bad never been absent when any point of importance to the country was being discussed ; but that when the house was occupied with trifling matters, he considered his time better spent is corresponding with his constituents in Glasgow. A CONSTITUENT, or at least a man in the middle of the hall, then asked Mr. Macgregor how be voted re garding Forbes Mackenzie's Bill ? (Laughter, great applause, and hissing.) Mr. MACGREGOR—So far as be remembered he did not vote at all. But he spoke against the bill ; and be spoke at the same time and deplored the excessive con sumption of spirits . in Scotland. His views were, that there must be certain regulations ; but, at the same time, no act of Parliament will make a people religious or moral, so long as they remain in ignorance. Igno rance and the want of recreation for their health would make them seek indulgence of a gross kind. -Unless they elevated their tastes and enlightened their minds, legislation for the suppression of drinking would be in vain. Another CONSTITUENT asked if Forbes Mackenzie's Bill could be amended or repealed ? (A laugh.) Mr. MACGREGOR cou ld not tell. He was not thy master of the minds, intellects, and inclinations of 654 members of the House of Commons. (A laugh.) Ile was only one member ; but let Glasgow exert itself, and it might get. according to its population, members. (Chee rs .) f The same CoNSTITURNT—WiII you vote fo r the Meal of the bill?six or eigUL Mr. MACGREGOR—I will not vote for the repeal of the bill till it gets at least a fair trial. (Tremendous cheering.) Mr. THOMAS BROWN now got upon s bench, and then catechised the member tightly for loving Louis Napo leon so well, after he had destroyed the Roman republic. And how they were to believe what Mr. M. had told them regarding non-interference with Hungarians or Italians, when Great Britain and France quietly stood by, while Austria compelled Omer Paella to turn some of his officers to the right-about. his statement was, Mr. MACGREGORt h replied at Roman large ; r e b p u u t bl t i h a e w e a s e se d n i ce sh e o d f before aclepresideniti—betrhtyat, a erenotfi w as m tf or constitutional proof of it was that they had murdered Rossi, ev nennintosui were Napoleon the nd said one oue of the greatest men of his times. It was not true that Omer Pacha's officers had been meddled with. As to himself, he had been present at every important divi sion in the House of Commons ; but he did not think it his duty to attend at every trifling affair, when there were sometimes seven divisions about a contemptible local bill. He did not lie in wait for these divisions, especially as he had often to write from 40 to 50 letters every day in reply to those of his constituents in Gists. go w—no easy affair to manage. After some further questioning and answering, during which the said Mr. Brown did not appear to be either: satisfied or convinced, Councillor MACADAM moved a vote of.thanks to Mr. Macgregor, to which he considered him fully entitled, though it were for nothing else than his ooming an nua ll y to give an account of his stewardship. The motion ,was put and carried by acclamation, and Mr. Macgregor having suitably acknowledged the com pliment, a vote of thanks win giTora to the chairman, 1 when the anotirig &wed. - -
