MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no alteration in the general appearance Of the money market to-day, the demand is quiet, and there is plenty of capital, but the bankers and brokers feeling uncertain with regard to the future tendency of quotations, do not appear disposed to transact business under the official minimum of 5 per cent. Although there is a large falling off in the re serve of notes and the stuck of bullion, es well as an important addition to the other securities, the results exhibited in the Bank of England Return for the week ending Wednesday last are less unsa tisfactory than most persons anticipated. Subjoined are the particulars : Active Circulation • . £20,101,170 Decrease .. .. • . 70,840 Bullion .. • • .. • • .. 13,611,823 Decrease .. • • • • • • 244,026 Rest .. • • • . 3,247,826 Increase .. • • • • • • 17,84") Public Deposits • • • • 5,416 863 Increase • • • 451,065 Other Deposits.. .. 14,414,763 Dec ease .. • .. 678,462 Seven Day and other Bills .. 670,066 Decrease .. • • • • • • 54,855 Government Securities . .. 10,606,648 Decrease • • .. 129,500 Other Securities • • 19,535,217 Increase 141,:.79 Notes Unemployed .. .. 7,286,305 Decrease • • 147,050 The New York, from America, has brought £lO,lOO in specie. The receipts of the Dutch-Rhenish Rmilway for the fortnight ending January 1301, 1863, amounted to 1;6,324 10s. 6,4 d,; and for the corresponding period of last year to £6,642 10s. IC2d., showing a decrease of £3lB Os. 4d. against the present year. Daring the last few days there has been rather more activity in the markets for Foreign and Colo nial Produce. Tea has sustained fully previous prices, while sugar continued in fair demand at full rates. Coffee, however, in some instances has been rather cheaper. In rice, fruit, cocoa, and spices there has been no material change to record in values. Tallow has been in actual request at en hanced quotations for both present and forward delivery. The contract between the Governor-General of India and the East India Irrigation Canal Company has just been published. It empowers the latter to construct works of irrigat'on, &c., in Orissa and the adjacent districts towards Calcutta. Tne provisions of the deed are spoken of as being highly advan tageous to the company, and full of promise in their working with regard to the development of the natural productions of the country to which they relate. Arbitration clauses are inserted in the con tract, which appears to be the first of the kind that has ever been concluded between the Government and a private company. The chief engineer repor , s that the plans and estimates of a canal from the Rooghley to Balasore, 95 miles in length, are now complete, and that its construction is or about to be immediately entered upon. The Government has, moreover, expressed its wish for the early comple tion of these works, and every probability exists of their being rapidly pushed forward. Two O'CLOCK. A little more firmness has prevailed to-day in the Market for the English Funds, the operations having include i a few speculative purchases, although the total amount of business transacted has been much below the average. Consols are 92k1 for money, and 921 I for the account. The New Three per Cents. are 921 e ; the Reduced, a 921 *; Exchequer Bills, 3s. dis. to la. prem. ; India et' Stock is flAt, at 229 and 230; and the +5 per Cent Loan, 108 i. The transactions in the Foreign Market have been of a moderate character, but prices have been well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 701,- 71-1-,; do., 1862, 66k 67 ; the '..:onsolides have been exceedingly buoyant, the latest price being 411 ; Greek Bonds are 17f, ; do., Coupons, 7f I ; Mexi can, 321; New Grenada have risen to 29f ; Russian New Loan, 95k; Spanish Passive, 261 ; and the Certificates, lug; Venezuelan New Loan is firm, at 61 I. In the Railway Share Market the dealings were of the most limited description, owing to the forth coming settlement, but prices generally remained firm. Great Western, North Western, and Metro politan improved 55.; Midlands and North Eastern (Berwick), 10s.; and South Easterns, The Foreign and Colonial lines were without change of importance. Recife and San Francisco brought 19f ; East Indian, 1051 1061 ; Great Indian Peninsula, 104! 105 t. Joint •Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares re mained inactive at about previous quotations.

The Breslauer Zeitung of to-day says :—" The railway line was torn up by the insurgents at Petri kan again to-day. The communication being thus interrupted, the train from Warsaw has not ar rived." ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day contains news respecting the insurrection in Poland until the 28th inst., which merely confirms the telegrams already published. The same paper says that the intelligence re ceived by the Government from all quarters is favourable to the cause of order. BERLIN, San. 29. According to an announcement of the telegraph administration, the telegraphic communicatioß with Warsaw via Myslowitz has again been inter- rupted. News from St. Petersburg states that great tight ness prevails in the money market. The Imperial Bank me kes no cash advances upon securities, nor discount any bills. The rate of discount has been raised to 6 per cent. THE REPRESENTATION OF CAMBRIDGE —W. learn that Col. Adair has retired. Mr. H. Fawcett, who, it will be remembered, was one of the candidates for Suuth- Wark at the last election, has issued an address. THE LATE DISEASE IN SHEEP IN WILTSHIRE. — It will be remembered that when the late fearful epidemic in sheep first made its appearance in Wiltshire, a committee was appointed by the farmers of the county to take steps to arrest the disease, and to inspect the flocks that might be attacked. At a large meeting of the Society for the Prevention of the Disease in Sheep, held at the Town-hall, Devizes, on Monday last, the committee re ported that there was no further need for their services, and the committee was thereupon dissolved. The farmers generally expressed their thanks to them for their swim. . _---!~ -,____. SHARE MARKETS—This Day. -•)}tI)INAKY SilAttEs AND STOO Share; Railway& faid. l Closing I Business Price.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MOLYNEUX V. MOLYNEUX, BOYLE, AND RAWLINSON. This was a petition presented by the husband praying for a dissolution of marriage. The parties were married at St. Peter's, Liverpool, in 1846, and the separation took place in 1858. The marriage was proved by a person named John Adams. Miss Doyle said she knew the respondent previous to her marriage, and visited her after. She recollected Captain and Mrs. Honiball living with them in Westley-street, and twelve months before the separation the respondent told her that she intended to leave her husband and go to Australia, as she did not like her husband, and that she should go away where she would have more money to spend. She had seen her once throw a shovel of burning coal after her husband as he was going up stairs. Jane Postance, formerly a domestic servant to Mrs. Moleyneux, recollected her leaving her husband to go to Australia. Previous to which she removed several articles of furniture to her mother's residence. Mr. Molyneux always seemed to treat his wife with the greatest kindness. Jane Johnson, the mother of Mrs. Honiball, said her daughter left England for Australia in August last. She knew she had arrived there, and from there she had gone to Singa p ore. The depositions of Mrs. Honiball were here put in, which stated that the respondent was living with a person named Rawlinson, as his wife, at Port Philip. Other confirmatory evidence having been given, two let ters were put in written by the wife after she left, in which she referred to the fact of her departure, and pointedly alluded to some family disagreements that had probably healed in her absence. She concluded her letter by sign ing it with her maiden name. Decree nisi granted. MILES V. MILES AND JOHNSON. This was a similar petition presented by the husband, who was a silk finisher, residing at Longsight, near Man chester. The marriage took place in 1844, and ',up to 1859 they lived together, although her habits towards the latter part of the time were very intemperate. In the early part of that year a separation took place, but a reconciliation took place afterwards on her promising to behave better for the future. An improvement was for a short time ob servable, but eventually she relapsed inot her former habits of intemperance, and sunk so low in degradation that the present suit was instituted. Decree nisi granted with costs against Johnson. COOKE V. COOKE. This was a petition for judicial separation instituted by the wife against the husband on the ground of cruelty. There were several other averments in the petition. The respondent pleaded denial, justification, condonation, and undue delay in the instituting of proceedings. Mrs. Francis Judith Cooke, the petitioner, said—My father was one of the fellows of Eton. My husband is in cumbent of Seymer, in Suffolk. There have been eleven children, nine of which are still living, My first daughter , was born in 1838. The youngest child at the present time is twelve years. I had reason to complain of the conduct of my husband previous to 1852. I had, often had unkind language from him. In September, 1851, I paid a visit with his consent to my sister, Mrs. Richards, in Somersetshii e. I remained there until the 12th of January, 1852. On my return my husband treated me vith great unkindness. In the winter of the year I experienced the first attack of personal violence from Mr. Cooke. He rubbed me violently over the mouth with his hand, which caused great pain. This took place in the drawing-room of Seymer Rectory. During that year there were some other acts of personal violence. The one I best remember was that which took place on Sept. 10, 1853. On the evening of that day, after I had returned, he followed me into my dressing-room and treated me with great vio lence. He forced me down upon a chair with my head against the wall, and hurting my face very much. He dragged me across the bed and kept me in such a painful position that I could scarcely move, and for an hour I could scarcely breath. I believe he was asleep part of the time, but he held rue so tight that I could not move. I sue. ceeded in extricating myself after the time specified, and he remained quiet for the rest of the night. The next day my brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Richards, came to Seymer to take me away on account of my husband's former ill usage. I went and remained till the 12th of May. Part of the time I was in London, and the latter part in the country. When I returned to my husband he was as violent as ever. I came into some property on the death of my mother, and differences occurred between myself and husband respecting it. In the early part of 18541 went to Colchester to my hus band's sister and husband, Dr. and Mrs. Maclean. My hus band drove me over in the dog-cart, Two of my daughters went with me. We returned the same night. Before we got out of Colchester my husband struck me in the face with the whip. He frequently pushed me backwards, so that it was with difficulty I could keep ray seat in the vehicle. Only my second daughter returned with me. In the year 1854 I paid a visit, with my husband's consent, to my sister, Lady Symonds, the wife of Sir W. Symonds, who was then living. She is now the wife of Dr. Mayo. I re turned towards the end of the year. On the day I got home my husband told me I was not to resume the keys or the housekeeping, which he had determined should be attended to by my eldest daughter. In a few days after he placed her in my seat at the head of the table. In October of that year we had company, and one evening my husband was exceedingly violent because I had given an order to some of the household. He rubbed my face violently in the middle of the night as a punishment for having ordered some candles. The next day I left my room while my husband was in bed, and pro ceeded to my daughter's apartment. On my return I dis covered that my husband had locked the door of my dress ing-room and taken away the key. My clothes were in that room, so I could not go down to breakfast. I sent for the key, which he refused, and it was not until the middle of - the day that he allowed me to dress. In November Mr. Cooke locked me out of my bedroom, so I had to pass the night in my daughter's apartment. The case is expected to occupy the whole of the day. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Recorder and a Common Jury.) WILKINS V. THE UNIVERSAL LIME LIGHT CO. (LIMITED: THE TRINITY-HOUSE CORPORATION (GARNISHERS). This was an attachment to obtain the sum of £753 10s., alleged to be in the hands of the Trinity-House Corporation on behalf of defendants. Mr. Henry James, for the plaintiff, was proceeding to state his case, when Mr. Robinson, for the garnishers, said he would, to sim plify and shorten matters, admit that the garnishers had £3OO in hand. Mr. James then expressed himself as willing to accept that sum on behalf of the plaintiff, and, upon his lordship's direction, the jury found for the plaintiff for £3OO.

The Supply, iron screw troopship, Master Com mander Balliston, anchored in St. Helen's Roads, off Portsmouth, yesterday afternoon, from Wool wich, bound to the Mediterranean. It was blowing heavily at the time from the westward, and commu nication was held with the flagship of the Comman der-in-Chief in Portsmouth harbour by signal only. The indicated horse power of the screw gunvessel Tyrian on her high pressure trial al Portsmouth on Wednesday was 226.1; her engines are 60 horse, nominal. The Hannibal screw-liner, is ordered to be com missioned at Portsmouth by a commander, and at tached to the Asia, steam guardship, as a depot ship for the reception of seamen returning from leave. Her galley is ordered to be fitted with a supplemen tary oven for baking the men's dinners on the plan referred to in the article headed " Cooking for the Navy," which appeared in The Sun of Wednesday. The official trials of the Himalaya screw troopship and the Enchantress Admiralty paddle yacht, at Portsmouth, were yesterday again postponed owing to the unsettled state of the weather. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. George H. Seymour, will make an official trial of her machinery, weather permitting, to-morrow, on the completion of the fitting of her new inter mediate shaft by Messrs. Penn and Son. The Urgent, screw iron troopship, in No. 7 Dock at Portsmouth, has a large body of convicts em ployed upon her, scraping off the barnacles and other marine incruEtations from the surface of her bottom plates. The machinery in the newly-erected armour plated finishing shop at Portsmouth Dockyard nas, with one exception, been at length fairly got to work, and the processes of bending, drilling, and planing the plates for the Royal Sovereign turret ship arc now being carried on with considerable rapidity. The butts of the plates are planed in the new shop, but the new planing machines for their edges not being yet in working order, they have to be finished by the planing machines of the steam factory. So soon, therefore, as men can be spared from other work in the yard, the side armour of the Royal Sovereign may be rapidly affixed. The manufacture of the massive iron cylinders for her turret bed does not progress so satisfactorily. The smith's shop does not possess the necessary mecha nical aids for doing such work, and in fact a con tract new with the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Com pany for the supply of the required four cylinders would save both time and money. The undernamed lieutenants have been promoted to the rank of commander ; —C. 0. B. Hall, T. D. Williams, W. S. de Kautzow, E. B. H. Franklin, F. T. Thomson, and St. G. C. D'Arcy Irvine. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. Count Gleichen, to the Racoon ; Commander Edward Wilmot, to the Euryalus ; Lieut. H. M. Miller, Lieut. Hugh Campbell, and Lieut. G. R. Trefusis, to the Racoon ; William H. Bradley, master, to the Racoon ; Dr. James Young, surg., to the Racoon ; W m . F . Alex ander, paymaster, to the Edinburgh ; Thomas Brad bridge, paymaster, to the Racoon ; William L. Powell, assist.-surg., to the Racoon ; Robert W. Parish, assist.-paymaster, to the Implacable; Chas. E. James, assist.-paymaster, to the Racoon ; Henry H. Tonkin, promoted to chief engineer ; John Staley, first class assist.. engineer, to the Asia, as supernumerary; Michael A. Fothergill, acting second class assist. engineer, to the Cumberland ; and Alfred N. C. King, clerk, to the Racoon. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge held a levee yesterday afternoon at the Horse Guards. There was a numerous attendance of officers. The War-office, which has appointed the committee of scientific officers to inquire afresh into the rela tive merits of Sir Wm. Armstrong's and Mr. Whit worth's systems of gunnery, has added to it the flumes of two eminent civil engineers of high stand ing to aid in the consider .tion of the many impor tant mechanical questions the subject involves. These gentlemen are Mr. John Penn, of Greenwich, and Mr. Wm. Pole, F.R.S., who is already serving on the iron plate committee. The preliminary in vestigations which are, we hope, to terminate this great gun controversy have been in progress for some time, and both Sir William and Mr. Whit worth have been examined at length, in explana tion of their systems, before the committee. The actual experiments, however, by which the contro versy must really be decided aro not likely to begin before the middle of March, the huge target which has been made for the purpose not having yet left the works of the Thames Iron Company. The expe- ments themselves also are certain to extend over a considerable period, as the committee are instructed from the War-office to report upon their results " from time to time." A spacious hospital for the reception of the wives and children of the troops quartered at Chatham is now in course of erection at that garrison by Mr. Stump. the Government contractor. The building was yesterday roofed in. The site on which it is erected is a portion of the Government land between Fort Amherst and Chatham barracks, the situation being highly salubrious. The building is, in fact, a continuation of the present large garrison hospital, from which it is separated by a very few feet. By this arrangement very little addition will have to be mai° to the strength of the medical staff of the existing hospital, the same surgeons being ab e to take charge of both establishments. The new hos pital, which will be ready for the reception of the class of patients for whom it is intended in the coursa of two or three months, w ill su pply a want which has long been felt of an institution of the kind at Chatham. _ _ The Royal Engineers have just completed the formation of a skittle-alley and bowling-green on the vacant piece of ground adjoining the Soldiers' Institute at Chatham for the use of the men fre quenting that establishment. The skittle alley is enclosed and covered in, which will enable the men to enjoy that pastime in all weathers. The Royal Engineers who left England in the early part of 1857 for the purpose of making the Ordnance survey of the Cape Colony, arrived at head quarters, Chatham, yesterday, under the command of Lieut. F. Bailey. They have spent upwards of five years in the prosecution of the work. During their passage to England the surveying party were shipwrecked, and lost the whole of their valuable surveying instruments, and, what were of still greater value, the original plans of the survey. Fortunately, however, they succeeded in saving the duplicate copies which they had made before leaving the Cape, and these will be immediately published, their value being enhanced by the fact of their being the only complete survey of that important colony yet made. The 20th company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. C. E. Sim, which recently arrived at Chatham garrison from Western Aus tralia, after an absence from England of several years, is ordered to be raised to its proper strength from the companies at headquarters, the num bers having been very much thinned from the length of time the company was away. The num ber of men belonging to the company who are married being considerably in excess of the regu lations, an order has been received for their transfer to the other depot companies. Since the 20th company has arrived from Australia it has been put through a course of study in the various schools connected with the Royal Engineer establishment. In accordance with the directions of Field- Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, the whole of the troops quartered at Chatham garrison are periodi cally exercised in route-marchin g on stated days in each week, on which occasions the officers and men are marched in various directions into the country surrounding the garrison. On Wednesday the mounted battery of the 9th Brigade Royal Artil lery, quartered at Chatham, with their Armstrong guns, ammunition waggons, hospital carts, and other material, left the garrison and proceeded on the march for several miles in the direction of Maidstone, returning to their quarters in the aftcr noon. Yesterday the troo p s of the Line comprising the 2d battalion of infantry quitted Chatham bar racks and took a lengthened march into the country. Major. General Eyre these route- By direction of marchings of the officers and troops are to be utilized by the officer in command directing various move ments while the men are on the march, and, when halted, for advance columns:to be thrown out and some manoeuvres attempted. The junior officers, too, are to be instructed to prepare flying sketches of the country traversed, with a descriptive report of the districts and the advantages or disadvantages they possess for carrying on military operations. When marching along roads away from the towns the troops are to be allowed to sing in concert, in order to relieve the tedium and monotony of the march. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. The attendance to-day was very small, and attempts to re-open speculation almost fruitless. Scarcely a dozen bets were booked during the afternoon, and those to such trifling amounts that they cannot be accepted as any criterion of the actual tone of the market. Admiral Rous's handicaps were made the subject of conversation, and the general ten dency of criticism was decidedly in their favour, 1,000 to 30 being once or twice offered on the field for the City and Suburban. The Liverpool Grand National was not even alluded to during the afternoon. For the Chester Cup Stradella remained at the head of the quotations, and was backed for a " pony" at 20 to 1, which odds were currently offered on the field up to the close. 25 to 1 was taken about Black Deer, and 33 to 1 about Anfield, though a con siderably shorter price was perhaps tho correct quotation of the last-named. The Two Thousand was barely men tioned, but, after a little badinage, 100 to 6, and then 20 "ponies," were taken about Tom Fool; 100 to 6 was taken about Pratique. For the Derby £525 to £lOO was offered against Lord Clifden, but his friends were not present this afternoon, and he was, consequently, not supported. The other transactions on the great Epsom race require no comment. The filly races were introduced towards the close, and £2OO even laid on Lady Augusta, Cassidia, Cachuca, and Tornado against the field for the One Thou sand, and the like amount on Avondale, Lady Augusta, Cassidia, and the Orphan, for the Oaks.

The betting on Chester Cup proceeds but slowly. There is always money for the favourites; and all new books opened are readily taken about them.

NEGRO EMANCIPATION. A demonstration in favour of negro emancipation was held last evening at Exeter-hall, under the aus pices of the Emancipation Society. The hall was crammed iu every part, and hundreds of persons were unable to obtain admission. The chair was taken by Mr. William Evans, chairman - of the Emancipation Society, who was supported bv Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., Mr. Thomas Hughes, Mr. J. M. Ludlow, the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Neal, the Rev. Newman Hall, the Rev. W. Landells, and other gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the business, said the object of the conveners of that meeting was to obtain an answer from that audience to this question —whether the feeling against slavery was really dead in this country. He believed that their pro ceedings would help to demonstrate the hollowness of the pretence that in respect to the contest now going on between the Northern and Southern States of America the sympathies of Englishmen generally were on the side of the oppressors of the negro. (Cheers.) Mr CHESSON, the honorary secretary, then read a number of letters from gentlemen who concurred in the object of the meeting, but wore unable to attend. Among the writers were General Peyronet Thomp son (who sent £lO to the funds of the society, " as the most rational way of contributing towards the relief of Lancashire distress") ; Mr. W. E. Foster, M.P. (whose excuse for his absence was that he had to take the chair at a similar meeting the same even ing at Bradford) ; Professor I. E. Cairnes, of Dub lin ; Mr. John Stuart Mill, Colonel Salwey, and Mr. W. Hargreaves (who believed " that Chris tianity embraces liberty, equality, and fraternity, and abhors slavery, although the Beelzebub of the press thinks otherwise.") A. communication was also read from the Union and Emancipation Society of Manchester affirming that the working classes of that city "are untainted by the virus of pro slavery advocacy, and that the sympathy with Jef ferson Davis and his co-conspirators, which makes so formidable an appearance in the columns of cer tain journals, is at best a colossus of brass with feet of clay ;" and that " should our Government, under pressure from the aristocratic sympathizers with slavedom, attempt a premature recognition of the projected Southern slave empire, it will arouse the indignation of the working men of the north of England." The Rev. BAPTIST NOEL rose to move the first resolution, viz. : "That the revolt of the Southern States of America against the Federal Government having avowedly originated in the determination not only to maintain but to extend slavery, and having been followed by the organisation of a Confederacy based upon the denial of human rights to the negro'race, this meeting indignantly repels the assumption that the English people sympathise with a rebellion that thu violates every principle of political justice, or with institu tions framed in defiance of the moral sense of civilised man kind, and which are an outrage upon the religion whose sanction has been claimed in their support," In supporting this resolution the rev. gentleman cited facts and arguments to show that if th Southern people succeeded in gaining their inde s pendence they were not likely to emancipate thei r slaves. All the official acts and declarations of the leaders in the Secession proved slavery to be at the bottom of their movement. Slavery was also the avowed basis of their national life, and if that basis went their national existence would go with it. They maintained that slavery was a divine institu tion, that their material prosperity depended upon it, and that if free the negro would not work; so that they must themselves be re duced to pauperism. Moreover, these proud oligarchs saw that, with their republican form of government and the rapid increase of the black race, they would before long be ruled by their own slaves. With their views and principles, then, no wonder if they would rather die than make the ex periment of emancipation. Freedom, they asserted, would be the destruction of one of the races. Did the Southern whites mean to immolate themselves P With what bloody determination they would holC. their human chattels was evident enough from the sanguinary deeds which shocked us, as recounted from week to week in the little intelligence which reached us from Southern sources. At Charleston, the other day, 19 negroes, for no other offence than secreting arms in a graveyard, were hanged upon the spot. At Murfreeeborough, again, the black, unarmed teamsters of the Union army were ruthlessly murdered in cold blood by the Confederate cavaliers. The reverend gentleman, in referring to these and other alleged atro cities on the part of the Confederates, was interrupted by cries of " Butler !" and " M'Neil !" In rejoinder he said that M'Neil was not an officer of the Federal Government, and Mr. Lincoln, so far from sharing these sanguinary tastes, when he heard of a single rebel having been put to death, issued an order to his generals to execute none without first commu nicating with him. President Davis's proclama tion declared that every captured negro soldier should be banded over to the authorities of the State in which he was taken, to be treated according to their laws, or, in other words, to be executed. All this evinced a preterhuman thirst for blood, and was the inauguration of a murder policy. President Davis pronounced Mr. Lincoln's proclamation to be " a measure by which millions of human beings of an inferior race are doomed to extermination." (Shame.) What did that mean ? It did not mean if they rose upon their masters. The negroes could not do that if they wished ; it was impossible for such unarmed men to rise where there were 500,000 hostile whites with rifles in their hands. They could not rise except where the Federal troops had pene trated, and where those troops had come there was no instance of violence having occurred. The lan guage of President Davis meant that if these slaves attempted to fly they should all, men, women, and children, be murdered by those whose powerful in tellects were linked with satanic energy. (Shame.) Now, he and those who acted with him in that room had been sneered at as being few, insigni ficant, and, in fact, mere "nobodies." (Laughter.) He unaffectedly believed that that was true—(no, no)—but he said that they were only the " pickets" of a great emancipationist army scattered through out the country. (Cheers.) If these, then, were their principles, let them carry them through the length and breadth of the land. Let there be everywhere such an echo of them that no man in his senses could any longer pretend that England was in favour of slavery. Let them proclaim in un mistakeable accents that they had no sympathy with the oppressors of the black race—they were for no alliance with the murder policy of Mr. Jef ferson Davis—for no Alabamas to prey upon the peaceful commerce of the North in resurn for their George Griswolds, sent out to feed our distressed operatives—for no war with the United States for the sake of slaveholders—no premature recognition which led to war—no hostile mediation which led to both—no recognition at all till they emancipated —no jealous or spiteful wish to see the United States dismembered, impoverished, and disgraced ; that they were for emancipation and reunion— (enthusiastic cheers)—that they gave all honour to Mr. Lincoln, his Cabinet, his Congress, and all anti-slaverymen of all parties ; that they an a speedy peace throu4h eman ci p ation reunion, and the mediation of Fra nce, England, and Europe to promote both; that slave- were for - the the com pensation being granted to thetl lave an d, las y,that owners for y were for loss of their slaves; England and Am erica ever continuing friends and a llies in promoti n g religion and liberty th roug h out t h e world. (Lo ud cheers.) M r . nionlAs HUGHES, in seconding the resolu tion, said the quest ion which was daily becoming more distinctly visible in connection with the con test in America was, which is the side of freedom ? That question had been answered lately on behalf of the British people by the Times. (Hisses.) The issue had been fairly taken up by that news paper. In an article published on the 19th inst. it stated that Englishmen were deeply impressed with the conviction that the cause in which the South was gallantly defending itself against the cruel mid desolating; invasion of the North was the cause of freedom. (Hisses.) Now, did the voice of the people of England really endorse that state ment ? (No, no.) The same journal taunted them with being a few struggling obscurities. (Laugh ter.)' He accepted that designation frankly, though that splendid meeting threw some doubt on its accu- racy, but he maintained that if they were obscure and few, that fact made it only the more incumbent on them to speak out boldly what they felt on this gregt matter. M the American poet of freedom " They are slaves who will not choose " Scorn and hatred and abuse, " Rather than in silence shrink " From the truth they needs must think; " They are slaves who will not be " In the right with twu ur three." (Cheers.) He was there to contend that the cause of the South was the cause not of freedom, but of the most degrading and hateful slavery which the world had seen for a thousand years. In proof of this proposition Mr. Hughes proceeded to sketch the public career of Mr. Jefferson Davis, " the re presentative man," as he called him, of the Southern rebellion, beginning with the education at West Point and going on to his advocacy of repudiation in Mississippi, and his support both of the exten sion of slavery to the territories, and of the mopen iug of the African slave trade. There had not been a single act of his life that was not opposed to the sacred cause of freedom. Having next referred to the political conduct of Vice-President Stephens and. Mr. Mason, author of the Fugitive Slave Law, and to the decision of Judge Tanney in the Dred Scott case, Mr. Hughes challenged any friend of the South to point out any singe leader of the Confe deracy who was not over and over again pledged to slavery. He then endeavoured to account for the bitter feeling of America towards England by quot ing a passage from the same article in the limes, to which he had already adverted, in which, after speaking of the humbug of the Northern p eo pl e i n pretending to care for emancipation, the writer said " Mr. Cassius Clay himself would sink in his own estimation if he thought his neighbours could ima gine he was a real emancipator for emancipation's sake." Such statements as that was enough to make any people bitter towards us. A more unjust and wicked libel than that was never put forward by an English gentleman. Mr. Cassius Clay had no doubt said many foolish things about this coun try, but what was his personal history ? Born in Kentucky—a slave state—he went to New England for his education. There he made use of his eyes, and discerned the marked contrast between the condition of a country in which slavery existed and one where that abomination did not exist. When he returned home he resolved to put an end to the evil state of things there, so fli t , as he was concerned, and he emancipated every slave he had in the world. ` (Cheers.) Nor was that all, he went about Kentucky, one of the most noto riously rowdy States, where a man must go, as it were, with his life in his hand, and he lec tured against slavery, on one occasion being vio lently attacked and left for dead on the floor of his lecture-room. Yet that was the man against whom one great newspaper had used the language he had described. (Hisses.) Mr. M. FIELD claimed the right to move an amendment characterising the emancipation pro clamation as unconstitutional, vindictive, and dia bolical, and affirming that the recognition of South ern independence would ultimately secure freedom to the negro. This amendment was received with a perfect tumult of groans and hisses, and its pro poser was obliged to abandon the attempt to finish his speech, which he read from a manuscript half concealed by his hat. The meeting was next addressed by the Rev. NEWMAN HALL, who strongly supported the reso lution ; and the amendment, having been seconded was put to the show of hands and negatived. The original resolution was then carried by an over whelming majority. Mr. P. TAYLOR, M.P., then moved the next re solution, viz. :—" That in the election of President Lincoln, and in the principal acts of hie adminis tration—the prohibition of slavery in the district of Columbia, the recognition of the republics of Hayti and Liberia, the concession of the right of search for th 3 suppression of the slave trade, the scheme of compensated emancipation, and the proclamation which inaugurated the new year—this meeting re cognises successive triumphs of anti-slavery senti ment in the United States; rejoices in the prospect thus afforded of friendship between England and America, as well as of liberation to the enslaved ; offers to the Government and to the people of the loyal States the assurance of fraternal sympathy in. their noble struggle, and requests the chairman to communicate this resolution to his Excellency the American Minister." (Cheers.) Mr. J. M. LUDLOW seconded the resolution, to which an amendment condemning slavery, but de claring that England's treatment of her own poor disqualified her from remonstrating with America on that subject, was proposed by a rev. gentleman whose name was not included in the pre-arranged programme of speakers, and who was constantly interrupted by loud and general marks of impatienoe. Several gentlemen on the platform attempted to be speak, a fair hearing for him, but the meeting was still clamorous, the hour was growing late, and the obnoxious dissident had to content himself with getting his amendment read to an unwilling audi tory by proxy. Mr. GEORGE BROOM seconded the amendment, which was put and negatived, and the resolution was tarried with all but entire unanimity. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. Two minor meetings were held for the same pur pose in other parts of the building, with the like result. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A very small supply of English wheat was on sale hero to-day in poor condition.
