The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of ologists h Life, than, pe ts perrhaps, a al ny Other class of disease known to modern pat. lus is Pirticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who aro conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is e ntitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men Shculd know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and aboxe all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical in firmit y or functional derangement to which the timely aid of scienc e cannot apply a cure.

The success which has crowned the arms of England and France requires increased numbers to pursue the victories already gained. On the broad surface of the ocean float cargoes of valiant men, whose duty and amoition stimulate them to seek the honour of their na tions, and the establishment of the peace of Europe. The success which has attended the exertions of E. Moses and Son in their re splendent provision for the Winter Season, has induced them to marshal an entire reinforcement of Winter Novelties, which will tell most effectively on the inhospitable influences of the weather. In the Winter Quarter every one will find the most satisfactory Quar ter in the ingenious and seasonable productions displayed by E. Moses and Son at their Establishments, and may procure the newest and best Attire at quarter the sacrifice of time and trouble, and at muck less cost than at any other house. E Moses and Son's new Stock of Overcoats are the firm and well tried Guards for Adults and Juveniles. They are proof against the storms and batter of Winter's Forces, invincible protectors in the cold and wet season. The count less infantry forces signalised for neatness, elegance, and style, are drawn out in splendid files of Juvenile Attire, Fancy Goods, Hosiery, Ladies' Dress, of every Description, Boots and Shoes, &c., fizc., which will fully prove that the skill, talent, and resources of the manufac turing world are in the command of E. Moses and Son.

(Loud cheer;.) Under these circum stances, the Twenty-Fourth Anniversary of the Polish Revolution of 1830 is not a more Polish domestic com- memoration, intended to rouse the spirits of the living by recollections of a :lorious past—it is a solemn warning of self-preservation, addressed to the British State's wisdom ; it is a quer . ), by which the genius of the future i 3 about to test the vitality of the British Empire.

In keeping within the limits of this sphere, I would address myself, first, to you my brethren in misfortune, the Polish exiles, and then to England, sir, if you give me leave. (Hear, hear.) To you, dear brethren in exile, I have a word of thanks to speak, and an assurance to give, and an advice to impart. It is eighty-one years since Poland first has been quar tered by a nefarious act of combined royalty, which the Swiss Tacitus, Johannes Miller, well characterised by saying that " God permitted the act, to show forth the morality of kings." (Cheers.) And it is twenty-four years since down-trodden Poland made the greatest—not the last—manifestation of her imperishable vitality, which the cabinets of Europe were either too narrow-minded to understand, or too corrupt to appreciate. Eighty one years of still unretributed crime, and twenty-four years of misery in exile. It is a long time to suffer and ylnv patriotsoiott uh dt stoodei l s e p a f i unquenchablepru . po l beforea n And d, y o G a ul werefhae life-flame sufferingi h m e • e worldof pa along, antcdidlo v o iis u nmngo p st, ids. e s te s c aa rmtpi "statue," streaming , i e d g od through its petrified limbs. You stood up a protest of eternal right against the sway of impious might, " Mono Tekel. upharsis," written in letters of burning blood on the walls of overweening despotism. Time, misery, and sorrow thinned the ranks of your scattered Israel ; you have carried your dead to the grave, and those who survived went on to suffer and to hope. Wherever oppressed freedom reared a banner you rallied round—the living statue changed to a fighting hero. Many of yours fell, and when crime triumphed once more over virtue and right you resumed the wandering exile's walking-stick, and did not despair. Many amongst you who were young when they last saw the sun rise over Poland's mountains and plains have their hair whitened and their strength broken with age—with anguish, and with misery; but the patriotic heart kept the freshness of its youth. It is young in love of Poland —young in aspirations for her free dom—young in hope, and youthfully fresh in determina tion to break Poland's chains. (Loud cheers.) What a rich source of noble deeds patriotism must be that gave you strength so much to suffer, and never to despair. You have given a noble example to all of us your youn2;tr brethren in the family of exiles. When the battle of Canna was lost, and Hannibal was measuring by bushels the rings of the felled Roman esquires, the senate of Rome voted thanks to the Consul Torentino Varro for "not having despaired of the commonwealth." Proscribed pa triots of Poland, I thank you, and history will thank you, that you have not despaired of liberty. This is the thanks I had to give. The time draws nigh when the oppressed nations will call their oppressors to a last account, and the millions of free men, in the fulness of their right and of their self-conscious strength, pass judgment like arrogant conquerors, privileged murderers, and perjured kings. (Cheers.) In that sipreme trial the oppressed nations will stand ono for all, and all for one. (Loud cheers.) Faults, errors, and misfortunes of the past were not in vain. It was a terrible ordeal school, but a school it was. All of us have learnt something, and the best of what we have learnt is, that the principle of national fraternity is more than a philanthropic emotion—it it the only effective guarantee of that freedom which we have to conquer, and which we will conquer. Let England and America, proud in their present security—let all those whom it concerns— mind my warning, while it is yet time to mind it. Those who will not have contributed to the triumph of freedom, while they had the power to contribut3 to it, shalt have forfeited their claim to a share in that mutual guarantee. (Cheers.) If all the signs do not deceive uv, the men of Poland may be the first called upon to baiter a breach. Many will stand by you, and others will fight the common battle elsewhere ; but though many they be, nearest is nearest, and close by is best. It is not in vain that na ture, and nature's God, made Hungary a neighbour to Poland, and Poland a neighbour to Hungary. Onr ene mies are the same, and our cause is identical. Tho much I feel, the little I may know, and all I can, my heart, my brain, my arm, shall be with Poland, Remember this. Yet, though I may have learnt something, the pledge of my own fraternal assistance is a small matter anyhow, and even that little may be lost too soon. We are mortal men, and I grow old, and am careworn. However, that is not worth while speak,ing ef. I may bo nothing, but Hungary is mach ; and it is the genius of Hungary which assures you, through my lips, Hungary will stand by reviving Poland. Remember my words. (Loud cheers.) This is the assurance I had to give. Last comes the advice. The present complications of Europe—a necessary result of the crimes and errors of the past--cannot be brought to a definite end without Poland acting her part. Of two things, one. Either an insufficient arrangement, leaving the future unsettled, and the war sure to recur again, more dangerous to some, more frightful to all who aro parties to it ; or the war carried on to a definite issue. This is the only alternative. In the first case, Poland may lose time, but will not have lost her cause. It is others shall have to meet the imprudence of such an irresolution. And none more so than England, be sure of it ; England, the groat nation which the Times estimates to be " tottering on the climax of its greatness." If this war is not carried to a happy definitive issue, the next time it recurs, I apprehend, it shall be England's turn to present in her fate a second Poland in history, may be even here at hand, who knows ? But cer tainly in and about America and in India England's proud standing presents many a vulnerable point. So far there is a difference between Russia and the British empire, not to the advantage of the latter. England has many a vulnerable point, Russia has but one —Poland Woe to those who, though at war with Russia, still disregard that fact. (Cheers.) In the second alternative ' why it is perfectly absurd to believe that matters can be carried on without Poland. Those who mind this too late will be brought to remember it with regret. Therefore, I say to you, men of Poland, gird your loins, watch your opportu nity, slumber in your armour, but from this moment never more sleep. Remember the French proverb, "Aide toi et Dieu t'aidera" (Help thyself, and God will help thee). (Lend cheers.) The moment is critical. It requires all ' the wisdom, all the discretion, and all the resolution of every Polish patriot. I have heard some whispering about tricks discussed in the dark recesses of secret diplomacy. Oh ! the fatal word ! that workshop of conspiracy against mankind, fraught with more and deadlier crimes than ever were brought to light by tribunals and police-courts. I warn the Polish nation to be on its guard. Cabinet diplomacy may call on Poland out of dire necessity, but if Poland, the nation, takes not in time a stand to reyindi cote her personality, and to reassert the position of an equal, who as well has assistance to give as to receive, not merely an object, but a party to the transactions, you may once mere experience what you have already experienced from the secret transactions of the Vienna Congress of 1815, where the name of your nation has been made use of to secure concessions, which were net of your concern, and the concession once secured, Poland thrown overboard and sacrificed to expediency. You may see the trick performed once more. Nobody in the world has the right to dispose of Poland's destinies but Poland alone. I call on the Polish nation to take in time such a stand, that on the one hand nobody shall dare to usurp her rights, and on the otherhand nobody shall dare to ignore her. I would say to the Polish nation, be prepared to receive assistance whenever it may come, but beware how thou puttest tby trust in kings. They cannot like Poland, because they do not like liberty. (Cheers.) This is my advice. Now to England, sir, if the assembly desires me to go on ; if not, I can stop here. (Loud cries of "Go on.") First, and before all, I desire to pay the modest tribute of my highest admiration to the heroic army in the East, which, with so much glory, walks the path of honour, of danger, and of death—(loud cheers) —nothing daunted by .the reflection which could not have escaped the mind of many of there, that the post of honour to which they have been sent is certainly not the best which might have been chosen to begin with a war against Russia, and that a wiser po'icy, by not fettering those auxiliary elements whom circumstances imperatively ad vised to resort to, might have spared much of their heroic blood, all in promising richer results. Sir, I can tell some thing about what heroism is. The unnamed demigods of Hungary who fought the gigantic struggle of 1849 may well claim a place of immortal renown in the ranks of the bravest of the brave. And I who have witnesed this, I say history must go back for centuries to find out a battle like that at Inkerman, where 14,000 men resist victo riousl the valorous attacks of 60,000 well-disciplined troops, y and where almost eve r y man who fought on your side laid low one of the enemy. The battle of Alma, de fective as it was in disposition, and therefore barren in re sults, has been glorious in execution, and covered with a lustre of immortality the renown of the British and French soldiers but the battle of Inkerman, from the first in rank to the last, was a prodigy of valour, scarcely inferior to the miracle of Agincourt. (Cheers.) The history of 1854, whatever bo its records about the State wisdom of those who rule, will hand clown with im perishable renown to the admiration of posterity the im petuous military ardour of the French, and the stern, im movable courage of the Britons who fought in the Crimea. However, they fight on a battle-field richer in glory than in possible results, and richest in death. Ono more such victory as that of Inkerman and the army is lost. It is a sad consolation to know, that the tombs of those glorious dead around Sebastopol can say, like those of Thermopylae, " Wanderer, tell England thou hast seen us slain obedient country's laws." The Engli s h p u blic have been ttooldouorf late, that there never was a position of mere press ing necessity, demanding so imperiously a mind that can forestall instead of waiting on events, and can avert evils which it may . be impossible to repair. (Applause.) That, is perfectly just, though somewhat of an after-fact wis dom come out too late. But if it be just, then there is no good service to England in lulling public opinion to sleep by advising it to let bygones be bygones. A forestalling mind must look to the past for instruction. And the great lesson of accomp lished fae te i s, that England's p?i referlnoo tc , the present war, has been wrong is itsOr"' 7 . , in ~~ [PRICE SD. tion, andinefficient, unsuccessful, and disastrous in details. , Let us analyse the situation. `Your gigantic armada in the Baltic is nearly without a laurel to rest its head upon. To do something effective there, the co-operation of Sweden was a matter of prima necessity. England did not get it, because England's policy was wrong. I told England six months ago that the co-operation of Sweden is to be got only by calling Poland to arms. And that was the answer which three months laier King Oscar gave to General Ba raguay d'Hilliers. Yon have taken Bornarsund; a Small matter forsooth, yet when the time . comes that necessity will force you to remember Poland, and shall have to thank her far the advantage of getting Sweden ever to polar side. Then Boinarsund would have proved an acceptable offer to Sweden, but ymn•blew it up, as if afraid of your own vic tory ' • as if bent on the purpose not to have an ythi ng t o offer to Sweden. What a gigantic blunder. (Applause.) England pretended to strike a blow at. the cominerCe of Russia by blockading her coast, and England just succeified in turning Russian commerce to Prussia. Englandqns bent her mind on bringing Austria ever to herself; -she has sacrificed to this ono aim everything : numerous Mil hens spent in vain ; the life blood of the flower of Erg laud spilt in. vain ; principles, political.. reputation l the lilt ral character of the war, and the very issue of the war —everything. .And- has your Government gained 'Aus tria? ( No, ne.) this it gained that Austria to whom it has sacrificed everything—that . Austria of whom oven the Times is bound at last to acknowledge that " you are lightieg her battle, mere than your own ?" (No, no.) What a proud sneering . there was in official quarters when I months ago told the-good people of England that they believe they pay-and bleed for freedom, when in reality they are made to fight for Austria. Now it comes out at last. Truth will come out, like murder will. Well, has your Government gained Austria ? (No.) Go and read the well-founded lamentations in the organs—even the Mini sterial organs of publicity—about the treacherous attitude and the overbearing insolence of that Austria which your Government persisted in courting with so much sub mission, and which in return facilitates the enterprises of Russia, insults your allies, and counteracts your combina tions. (Cheers.) It is not only that you have not gained over Austria, but you have the Turks arrested in the midst of their victorious course ; and tie fruit of their heroic struggle, poor Wallachia, played over into the treacherous hands of despotic Austria. There is the Turkish army paralysed on the one hand, and there is on the other hand the Czar left free to threw overpovroringnumbers upon the flank and the rear of your gallant ranks in the Crimea. Thera you have the spirits of the Turkish army, high flow ing as they were by the victories at Silistria and Giurgevo, now depressed ; there you have the spirits of the Russian army, depressed as they were, now restored. And oh, I Icould tellyou what it is to neglect the moment of spirited excitement in a victorious army, and what it is to give time to a demoralised enemy to resume its spirits and to take breath. One such moment's neglect in a war, and it is not battlea,lgentlemen, not battles, but empires, that may be lost by it. And at last, alas Not least, there is Sebas topol. Every British heart has watched the great bloody drama there with intense anxiety. I am not wanted to tell you the tale of your heart. I am not wanted to describe how your brave sons have found there an entrenched camp with an army, instead of a fortress with a garrison, as your Go vernment appeared to have anticipated, how new armies are pouring upon your shattered ranks, as your Government does not appear to have anticipated, or else it would be inore than an error to act as the Government did. All lam wanted to do is to quote from public report these words:— " The question is no longer whether we shall take Sebas topol or not. The siege of Sebastopol, though not raised, may be regarded as at a stand-still. We are reduced to the defensive." Such is the situation. " The leaves have turned ; Russia is the besieger, you are the besieged." And at what price has been this situation purchased ? Gentlemen, on the sth of July, ten weeks before England embarked on that expedition, ill-advised as well as ill-pre pared, I, in a speech, the contents of which would have been well for Great Britain to mind, spoke these words at Glasgow :—" Not one out of five of your brave sons will see Albion again." Of course I used the number figuratively, as indicative of a great loss. Now, it is a sad tale ; number your dead, your wounded—and your disabled—more than 2,0,000 men out of 30,000 are already lost. My sad antici pations aro literally fulfilled ! And hero at home —why, here the number of widows and orphans applying for sup port to patriotic charity amounts to 11,000. • Such is the position, gentlemen. Now, with that position thus Dna ! lyseil, I call on contemporary age, and on history, to say whether I was exaggerating or too harsh in saying that England's policy has been wrong, that it has been successful nowhere, bat inefficient, unsuccessful, and disastrous every where. But you are told, for all consolation, that "no human foresight could have fully anticipated the extraor dinary position which you find yourselves in." New, as to this, I must say it is not true. Many a man must haveanti cipoecl that position. I, for one, have foretold it fact by fact, and word by word. And certainly claim not the slightest credit for perspicacity on that account. I wonder how any thinking man could do otherwise than know all this. Yet if such there wore, they could have used the modest light of my poor oil lamp. It is time the people of Groat Britain gave me tremendous cheers in return, and went home to toil on, and then to sleep. It is as if I would have been mendieating favours for myself, whereas it was England's honour, dignity, interest, and SUCCESS that I held up before their eyes. They went to toil and to sleep, and the flower of your nation wont to die; and now, after my disregarded words have proved true, some of them (the Scottish liras) say—" The words lie spoke road like the inspiration of a seer, or a picture drawn from history." , Others, the Tines, say—" No human foresight could ha% e anticipated the extraordinary position in which England finds herself." Extraordinary ! Why, what is there ex traordinary in the inexorable logic of concatenation be tween cause and effect' Is it extraordinary that Sebes- topol is found to be an intrenched camp with a numerous army in it ? Is it extraordinary that the Czar is pouring whole fresh armies to its defence ? The Czar has been left perfectly free, and with ample time afforded to do it ; nay, in fact, he has been invited to it by the Turco-Austrian treaty, negotiated under England's auspices. (Hear.) The extraordinary in the matter is not that he has sent reinforcements to Sebastopol, but that he has not sent double the number, and a month earlier. I take this to be so extraordinary that I find only two explanations to account for it. The first is, that to begin a war against !lassie with a landing expedition in the Crimea is an idea so supremely absurd that the Czar, giving more credit for perspicacity to his enemies than they deserved, did not be lieve it until you actually'landed. off Eupatoria. (A. laugh.) SeLondly, and chiefly, you are indebted to Poland for not having to meet 100,000 Russians more at Sebastopol. If Blighted did disregard the fact that Poland is the vulne rable part of Russia, the Czar was prudent enough to mind it. In the Crimea proud England and France at tack him • he is content with opposing 100,000 men to them. On the Danube the flower of the Turkish army, elated by victory, defies and menaces him ; he is content to oppose them with 80,000 men. But to Poland, where there is not one man in arms, but where the unquenchable fire of a heroic nation's hatred is smouldering, he sent an army of 300,000 man, to be prepared for emergencies. (Cheers.) Some may tell you that this is due chiefly to a precaution against Austria. (Hear.) But it is clear to demonstration that the Czar feels perfectly easy about the submissive obedience of his pro-consal in Vienna—(a laugh)—or else he certainly would not have left the very existence of his 80,000 men on the other side of ;the Pruth at the mercy of his good friend the Hapsburg. Yes, it is the name of Poland you have to thank for the fact that your whole army in the Crimea, all heroes as they are, have not yet fallen victims to over powering numbers. But the situation is sad enough such as it is. To be sure there may have been some strategical and tactical mistakes in the operations themselves such as they are. Sir, I have not the pretension to say that my past career could impart authority to any remarks about military matters. I have not been brought up a soldier, neither can I claim the honour of having had to act the part of a soldier in our glorious war. My duties were high and great, but somewhat of a different nature. They were just what the duties of your Government are now, only that mine were a great deal more difficult. We had to fight two great powers alone ; you are three great powers united to fight only one of them. And I had no ready army, no rich treasury, no abundantly stored arsenals, and no free communication with all the world. (Hear, hear.) I had to create everything with nothing, out of nothing — money and armies, and arms, and all military implements —secluded as we were from all the world, and in the in terior with the deluded third part of our population armed with the firebrand and with murder, in a condition worse than the Vendee ever was in France, or Ireland some times to you. These were my duties ! and, besides, my duty has been to designate the objects of military opera tions, and to direct the war in general, just as the duties of your Government are. Yet, as soldier I was not at that time, I could not draw the plan for a battle, or direct it myself. But the fact is, had I been able to add the skill of a soldier to my patriotic devotion, no treasoa would have crept into our ranks, and Hun gary were now free—not all the Czars of the world could have defeated us. (Loud cheers.) And who can tell - whether I may not yet be called upon to tervemy country? Therefore, I thought the time of my exile may be best employed in preparing for possible emergencies, by learning what, unfortunately, I have not known before. And modest as bo my humble abilities, I certainly dare say, if assiduous application and discretion, guided by ex perience, may master the mysteries of an art, I am a sol dier new, and feel competent to judge of military matters. (Hear, hear.) With this consciousness, I say there have certainly been some very serious mistakes connected with the operations in the Crimea. I consider it an unaccount able mistake to have engaged in the siege of Sebastopol, without taking previously hold of the strait of Perekop in the north, and taking command by sea of the bay of Kertch in the east, so as to prevent, or at least retard , the r ei ni forcemeats which it was easy to foresee that Russia w ould send. And that neglect once committed, I certainlyt%anns• not understand the logic of shifting the basis of operations down to the southernmost corner of the hence supp es leaving the whole of the land free to draw- peninsula, tips to Sebastopol, and leaving the Russieansrinmoetarbluytelneativrienlgy at liberty to send reinforcements to th C ti to them, besides, the very road rper fectly open and unim peded, even to enter Sebastopol in small just as they please, without havingais called a moveable t t t o fight for it.

You would have cut off all their supplies from ilia interior, and no reinf orcemen t s could have entered Sebasto p ol without havin g first to fight separately an open fi eld battle, wherein, certainly, the Russians are no match for your heroes there. Instead of that, your army has been established so as to leave Sebas topol perfectly free to communicate with the whole em pire of Russia. This is a strategical error, in my humble opinion, not even justified by tactical considerations. By besieging the north instead of the south of Sebastopol, yon would have encountered more of permanent fortifica tions, which is no difficulty for engineers, but would have encountoredless of an entrenched camp with a less numerous garrison which makes your real difficulty; and, at last, qv) the north-fide liatifiegiQn4 Wan, 794 would at 0199 LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVE the I.ll P a . me A utt L ee ß lat h T is ASCENT of of Pt h i a o s NT BIaANC OPEN for the SEASON, at the EGYPTIAN HALL, on MONDA Y EVENING, Dec. 4,1854. nwolunr RE OPEN During the recess the Hall has been redecorated, and every atten tion paid to the approaches, seats, ventilation, and general comfort of the audience.

THE MILITIA.—A priest in ft neigh bouring parish has fallen on a singular, and, as it would seem, successful device for replenishing his pocket at the expense of her Majetty's service. He has announced from the altar that no married man will be taken in the militia, while all bachelors are liable to be ballotted for, or even impressed. Acting on this hint, backed by kis strongest recommendation to do so, the eligible bachelors of his flock have very extensively entered into the matri monial state. As each marriage secures a handsome fee to his reverence, his advice was not very disinterested. —Connaught Watchman. EDUCATION IN THE HIGHLAMM.—The annual meet ing of the Association for the Religious Improvement of the remote Highlands and Islands was held on Thursday in the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh. Mr. Donald Mathe son, who occupied the chair, explained that the object the society had in view was to provide education for the people in the remote districts of the Highlands, and otherwise improve their social and moral condition. The report, which was read by the Rev. Mr. M‘Lauchlan, gave an account of the successful operation of the so ciety. At present the number of schools in connection with the association was 17, attended by 1,300 children ; and fresh applications were daily coining in from districts where great educational destitution prevailed. Profes sor Miller, Dr. Candlish, and other gentlemen, addressed 4 the meeting in support of the association, .ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH MUIR- RECTION. MEETING AT ST. MARTIN'S HALL. Yesterday evening the anniversary meeting commemo rative of the Polish revolution of 1830 was held at St. Martin's-hall. The meeting was ono of the most crowded ever held in the hall, and a number much greater than that which obtained admittance was turned away from the doors. The chair was taken by Sir Joshua Walrusley, supported by M. Koesuth, and other English and foreign friends of Polish nationality. M. Kossuth was loudly cheer..l on entering and laving the room. The immense crowd and pressure caused some slight disturbance at . the commencement of the proceedings, but eider was soon re stored, and tho business proceeded with. Mr. SUAXN, the secretary, read letters from Signori Mazzini, General Poyronnet Thompson, Messrs. J. W. Fox, and T. Duncembe, approving of the objects of the meet ing, and apologising on various grounds for noa-attend ance. Sir JOSHUA WALMSLET, the chairman, then addressed the meeting as follows : — Gentlemen,—My gratification in taking part in your meeting at this important crisis is clouded by the remembrance that death has deprived us of the countenance of one who had always taken a leading part towards the restoration of Poland, and who deservedly enjoyed the confidence of his own countrymen. His life was shortened by his exertions in the cause, and in him Poland has lost an earnest advocate, liberty one of her bes►t and truest champions', and each of us a friend. Ever prompt to relieve suffering humanity in whatever form it appeared, his zeal was so tempered by gentleness as to dis arm even his political opponents. (Cheers.) If the spirits of immortals can mingle with the affairs of mortals, his will aid our efforts : his example Is at least worthy of all imitation. (Cheers.) Before entering on the business of the evening it is necessary I should know year wishes as to the manner in which you desire it to be conducted. A programme has been furnished me by the committee with the names of the several speakers. It will avoid confusion if this:programme be followed. I will, therefore, ask you to agree to that course. Louis Itessuth will be the last speaker on the list, and, if it be desirable, other business may then follow. One of our greatest poets has said, "Thrice is ha armed who has his quarrel just," and none, at least none here, will question the justice of the objects we are met to promote. If this be so, we can well afford that the moderation of our language shall comport with the dignity of those objects. (Hear, hear.) I believe the time is at hand when the friends of freedom may prove their sincerity by showing that they seek not the interests of a section, but the will of the whole people. Our efforts should be directed in unity and sincerity to give Poland the opportunity of selecting her own future. (Hear, hear,) It is not my province as chairman to declaim against the perfidy which enslaved the Polish people, nor upon the ingratitude which so basely be trayed the Hungarian nation ; neither would I venture to eulogise the heroic efforts each has made to gain their independence. Others will better portray the miseries of the past—l will merely empress the earnest hope for a brighter future. (Hear, hear.) But I cannot forbear to say that I feel shame and remorse that England, enjoying the blessings of true liberty and constitutional govern ment, should have suffered without an effort the happiness of millions of their fellowmen to be sacrificed to the in sane ambition and thirst of conquest of men whom we de signate as Allies. (Hear, hoar.) lam persuaded I speak the sentiments of the groat body of the English people when I say they look upon these acts of tyranny with ab horrence, and aro prepared to make the necessary sacrifices for the independence of both Poland and Hungary. (Cheers.) lam no advocate for war, unless it be just and necessary. I believe it is so now. I know that war must increase our burdens, diminish our commerce, and restrict our national industry; but I also know that there are higher aims and aspirations than any which can arise out of mere monetary considerations. I believe that national interests and national honour are involved in the struggle. It is not simply a question between Russia and Turkey, neither is it one to be settled by diplomacy, but between aggression or non-aggression, between despotism and free dom. I cannot forget that Russia and her allies have been the means of enslaving Italy, of subjugating Hun gary, of blotting Poland from the map of nations, and would now make Turkey the means of introducing her barbarous hordes to western Europe. (Cries of " hoar, hear.") :What her course would be• were lelee mistress of Constantinople will best be gathered from the unscrupulous police- she has hitherto pursued. (Hear.) Of our alliance with Austria I will not here trust myself to speak. I shall be glad to find it does net end in disaster and disgrace. (Hear.) Apart from the justice of the objects to be attained, I am fully persuaded that it is the interests of France and England to make common cause for Polish independence. I believe it to be the will and wish of the people of this country. The sooner we direct our effortitto the real issue the sooner shall we be able to check this game of aggres sion and tyranny, and insure a permanent and honourable peace. (Hear, and cheers.) Mr. SIIA.EN, the secretary, then reed the address of the Polish committee to the meeting. The document, which was a lengthy one, was listened to with some few signs of impatience, the anxiety of the auditory being to hear M. Kossuth as soon as possible, but the substance of it was a recapitulation of the efforts of Poland to recover its liberty, and an assurance tlat the Poles were now ready to rise against Ramie, if properly supported by France and England. The address also pointed out the success with which Russian power might be assailed in the Polish territory. Mr. P. A. TAYLOR moved tha following resolution : " That this meeting, believing it essential to the freedom and peace of Europe that the encroachments of Russia should be successfully resisted, approves of the present war a s a just and necessary one, and emphatically records its conviction that that object can only be achieved by the frank and unhesitating recognition by the Western Powers if Polish nationality, without which the risk of disgrace in the conduct of the war is imminent, and its termination will be disastrous—immen se treasure will have been squandered in vain, the unequalled heroism of our coun trymen and our Allies wasted, and their lives sacrificed, not as martyrs to freedom, but as victims of a ♦icious diplomacy :" at the same time denouncing in eloquentterms the conduct of Austria, which had enabled the Czar to murder the British troops in the Crimea. He ridiculed the military array of Austria, which he said consisted of Italians, Hungarians, and Bohemians, all of whom would be ready at a moment's notice to turn their guns against their oppressors. He was reluctant as yet to believe that our Government wilfully starved the war, but results which must immediately take place would be the test of their sincerity. Professor NEWMAN seconded the resolution, at the same time pointing out the necessity of seeking alliances with nationalities rather than with Governments. We were now, he trusted, in firm alliance with France, and should, as soon as possible, draw closer our alliance with America, else the Czar would be enabled to recruit his navy by pur• chases in the dockyards of the States. If we had with us the nationality of Poland, of Hungary, of Sweden, of Germany, and of America, the war would become merely the question of a day. Tho resolution was put, upon which Mr. Earnest Jones endeavoured to obtain a hearing; but upon a show of hands it was decided that the resolution had been sufficiently dis cussed. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. M. ROSSETTI now came forward to the front of the plat form, and his appearance was the signal for loud and general cheering. After paying a graceful tribute to the memory of Lord Dudley Stuart, M. Kossuth said—All of us here present harmonise in the sentiment" prompted by the solemnity of the occasion ; all of us claim an equal share in paying a tribute of veneratien to the memory of that noble effort of national virtue which we had assembled to commemorate, and all of us unite in geed wishes for the full and perfect restoration of Poland, such as justice claims, her imprescriptible national rights de mand, her dreadful long-sufferings deserve, and the se curity of Europe requires. (Loud cheers.) But though all of us claim an equal share In these sentiments, the part we have to take in the proceedings is different. Since the thundering roar of cannon from around Sebes. topol continues to rouse an echo of moaning grief from thousands of British homesteads, is there one British heart all along these isles, the recesses of which had not thrilled with the inqairy—whether the policy which pre sides over this war be a wise one ? Whether those glo rious dead, whom the world admire s, and whom Great Britain bewails, have fallen a sanguinary tribute to dire necessity; or have they fallen but a wanton sacrifice, im molated on the shrine of the errors of those who rule ? Can the aged mother, proud in her maternal joy yesterday, and childless to-day—can the fatherless orphan, standing like a broken reed—can the widow, cast upon public charity (and 11,003 already they are)—can the nation, maimed by the loss of the bravest and best of her sons— can they comfort themselves with repeating the words Paulus Armidius spoke, when from the funeral of both his sone he rode up in triumph to the Capitol ? Can they ley, " I feel the nun of my homestead consoled by the good fortune of the commonwealth ?." (Hear.) Is there one man all along these isles, in the breast of whom the question had notrisen, whether there be no bettor course for carrying on the war? A course sure to succeed, and richer in results, and not so dreadful in sacrifices ? Yes, that question has been asked by all, it stirred like the thrill of conscience through the breast of all, and whenever it has been asked, and whenever it stirred, the pale spectre of assassinated Poland must have risen before your eyes, and the words I have spoken on the subject to the British ~,„„t h oe Impted the very 091110011 Ce of Briton.

Even as to the battle of Alma, glorious as it had been in personal gallantry from the Commander-in-Chief down to the last in rank and file, I cannot help thinking that it has been a wanton sa crifice of valuable life, and very defective in plan. A. strong position should never be attacked when it can be car ried by turning it. And this was evidently the case. A march of two English miles, up' the Alma,' must have forced the Russians either to retreat or to chenge their front with the loss of all the advantages of the position. Not the wings of the line of battle, bat the position had to be turned. And as to the battle itself, why the plan of turning both the wings of a line of kettle - is certainly thel worst plan which coul Ibe imagined.

Powers is in the very Rus sia by a systematic campaign in the Crimea. Not that I any seethe opinion that this -war should have-been brought, or should be brought to an end without wresting the Crimea from the Czar, and destroying his Black Sea fleet ; but lam decidedly of the opinion, that if an attack on Sebastopol has net, or could not have been tried by a naval coup de main, the very next day after the outrageous slaughter at Sinope, a systematic expedition to the Crimea ought to have been one of the last strokes, and by no means the first ; in no case one which I would have undertaken to dal before I had, by successful victories in Bessarabia and around Odessa, driven the Russians back from the Black Sea, and perfectly isolated the Crimea from the rest of the Russian empire. (Hear.) Then taking my stand with the main body of my force in a convenient lo cality, somewhere above Odessa (which, remember, might have been accomplished as circumstances were up to the half of September)—l certainly would have sent some thirty thousand men to take Sebastopol, who, heroes as they are, with a gallant, intelligent, and experienced chief at their head, as Lord Raglan is, would have done their work up to this day under such circumstances, and would have found Mensohikoff cut off from every hope of relief, fighting, at the best, but for military reputation, as General Chasse did at Antwerp. But in the meanwhile, I would have been perfectly content with knowing the Russian fleet was utterly paralysed by the very presence of your vastly superior squadron in the Black Sea. (An easy task with that naval force and witk a little vigilance.) I would have been rather glad to know that the necessity of keep ing Sebastopol well garrisoned would serve me like a diver sion, by keeping so much smaller the main Russian army which I was engaged in defeating. Bat before beating the Russians decisively in the field, in no case would I have severed my disposable forces as you did, by separating from the 120,000 Turks on the Danube—in no case would I have invited Russia to bring down upon my divided forces 100,000 men, to a position the most advantageous to you, as certainly Sebastopol is—in no case would I have afforded to the 100,000 Russians the additional advantage of the strength of those fortifications, of the vast stores of their almost unlimited armament, and of the guns of 'the ships moored in the bay. I would have forced the Russians either to fight without those advantages, or to go of and leave those commodities without the 100,000 men; but in no case would I have permitted them to combine both those elements of strength. (Hear, hear.) Such are the facts. I will not say that you will not take Sebastopol ; leaders and men like those you have there may do prodigies, though their position is certainly anything but sa- • tisfactory. Whatever be the shadows which coming events cast over my soul—not for anything would I throw a damp upon the spirits of those brave men, when all their spirits are required. Let us take for granted that they succeed; let us anticipate the sight when the shat tered ruins of that glorious army will stand on the smoul dering ruins of Sebastopol. Well, and after ? If your secret aim in this war has been solely the destruction of the Russian fleet; well, this will be achieved at the sacri fice of the flower of both your nations ; but this you never can dare avow ; you never can avow that your only object in this war has been a rehearsal of Copenhagen and of Na variao, from mere jealousy; and if you have higher,broader !delve, as have you must, then, supposiug you have taken Sebastopol, I ask you—well, and after? The Crimea taken is no security for the future to Europe. It is no barrier which defends, but an acquisition which re quires defence ; and what Europe expects to have for issue from this war is a material barrier against Russian preponderance; a moral barrier of free nations against despotism. (Hear, hear.) Oh, how different would be your position now, if your Government had not sacrificed your own safety to illiberal views, and your own success to regards for the worst of despots and despotism. Sup pose you had organised a brigade of Polish exiles. (Francs, even the Fiance of Napoleon has a foreign legion. Why not you, who are not over abundant in men, and who have fought nearly all your continental wars with your own money, but with foreign armies; your own braves acting the part which the Old Guard of Napoleon acted.) Sup pose you had organised a foreign legion of Polanders here, and ordered Sir Charles Napier not to care about barren Cronstadt, but to take Riga, and laud the Polish legion, to call on Russian Poland to rise ; and to back them, lead the 12,000 French, who were despatched to the Baltic with such a pompous flourish of Imperial words, and who did so wondrously little there. (A laugh and disapproba tion.) Suppose this done; and suppose, at the same time, the Anglo-French army in the East, 100,000 strong, join ing the 12,000 Turks, elated by recent victory, pushing on after the defeated Russians up Bessarabia—what would be Russia now ? and how different would bo your position ? (Hear, hear.) But Austria—what with Austria? I hear the silent question of your heart's anxiety. Well, of two things, one—either Austria would have let you do; and then the question requi res no answer , as s h e would have played false against you, and in this case you had bait to call on Hungary and Italy, and where would be Aus tria now ? England takes but too much the airs of looking down upon us with the commisseratiou of pride in politics, because I or Mazzini, or Ledru Rollin, or these gentlemen here, or any of the proscribed patriots of whatever land, we are but poor exiles. England forgets that those elements to which these now poor exiles belong may weigh to-morrow the destinies of Europe and your own in the hollow of their hand. Why, for a passing moment is Bonaparte not doing it? While a few years back, you have seen him nothing more than an exile, less entitled to reasonable hopes than the elements to which we belong, though not leas miserable than some of us. You forget that revolution which we assemble to come memosato, you forget how the very Kosziners (scythemen) of slighted Poland have mown down the invincible Cuirassiers of Russia like grass; you forget that we Hun garians, abandoned, almost betrayed by all the world, we alone have stood our ground, not only against that Austria which England so much fears or so much loves, but stood our ground against Russia besides, which you are three powers to fight. (Applause.) Prudence, justice, and humanity, alike advise you to look to nations for your Allies, and 10, England flatters dynasties , and relies on alliances with passing men instead of loo kin g to lastin g nations. (Hear, hear.) Whatever be my opinions about Napoleon with him, to hurt t hem ; ye t one him, I will respect yonr t feelings, and your will not all i an c e ge y anyt hing consideration a m n en lik d e E w n h gl e a e n v d er w el e s l e l . toweieh weigh.

(Hoar ' hear.) You are allied to Nap o l eon . Do you believe to have secured the alliance of the French nation? No, you have not. And why not ? Because your alliance purports to barter away the freedom of Poland, Hungary, Italy, and Germany for the preca rious and disreputable friendship of the Hapsburgs and the Brandenburgs.

To engage in a wrong direction may be an error—to persist in a wrong direction and sacrifice life (and such life !) may look like a crime, the retribution of which may yet fall heavily on your heads.
