He scouted the amendment as one of virtual confidence in the Ministry. Far from deserving any expression of confidence, he was sure that the House of Commons at the opening of the session if they had truly represented the people, would not have allowed the Minis. try to carry on the war for a single moment. At the come mencesnent of the session they professed to lay all the docu ments relative to the war before the house ; whereas, if they , had been honest men they would have told all, and not leave another, and the most imp or t an t, d ocumen t t o b e dragged to light .fterwards ; and had the House of Com mons been honest men they would have dealt very diffe rently with such conduct. We were called a constitutional government, and ministers were amenable to Parliament, and liable to impeachment. Certainly, if ever there was a case for impeachment it was this. (Immense cheering.) Lord J. Russell's name, too, was to some of this sec re t cor respondence; in fact, Lord J. Russell was as deep in the mud as Lori Aberdeen was deep in the mire. (Loud laugh ter.)

(Applause.) Mr. JOSEPH COWEN, jun., seconded the resolution, to which he added another, expressive of sympathy with Kossuth, and assuring him of a hearty reception from the people of Greenside and the town of Newcastle on his ap. proaching visit, which Mr Cowen intimated might be ex pected on that night fortnight. The MAYOR put both resolutions at once, and they were carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Mayor, on a motion seconded by Mr. Crawahay, terminated the proceedings.

The English and American songs were rap turously received by the picturesque assemblage, many of whom declared it was the first English singing they had ever heard, THE TRIAL TRIP OF THE NUBIA. SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday.—To -day the usual official trial-trip of this ship took place in Stokes Bay, and an ave. rage speed of 11.8 knots per hour was gained. VOLUNTEERING FOR THE NAVY. Volunteering for the navy goes on briskly, especially for sloop's and the despatch gun-boats, as the " blue jackets" consider that more prize money may come to their share in such craft than in vessels of larger rates. There is still some difficulty in obtaining experienced stokers, as the Admiralty order, requiring this class of men to have had one year's service as such afloat, has not been rescinded. Large numbers of volunteers are drafted daily from the Crocodile to the flag-ship at Sheerness for service in the Baltic. Landsmen are entered for general service, but few offer themselves, preferring to have the choice of their own ship. DEVONPORT, AUG. 30.—During the recent visit of the Lords of the Admiralty here, Sir James Graham and Cap tain Peter Richards visited the Sailors' Home, in company with Admiral Sir W. Parker, and inspected the institu tion, and were pleased to express their satisfaction with the arrangements made for the comfort and advantage of the inmates. Since its opening 7,030 sailors have used the institution. On the return of the fleet from the Baltic it is expected that a large number of seamen will take up their temporary residence at this house. ROYAL ART , LLERY. Letters have been received in the garrison at Woolwich from the Royal Artillery, who left Woolwich about three weeks ago for the East, in the transport steamer Medway, in which it is stated about 20 deaths from cholera had taken place on board previous to her arrival at Malta. Letters were received at the same time from the artillery .on board th e A us t ra li a transport-steamer, which left tnoraili6 on the 6th instant, and arrived at Malta with out the slightest casualty occurring on board. The Au stralia is a fine spacious vessel, well ventilated, and was not so crowded with troops as the Medway. Captain Marriott's company, 3d battalion Royal Artil lery, marched from the camp on Woolwich-common at six o'clock a.m. yesterday to the Paddington station of the Great Western Railway, and proceeded by railway to Bristol, where the company is to be stationed. Previous to marching from Woolwich the men were supplied with new rifle carbines, and took 70 horses with them. Captain Cleveland's company, 12th battalion, Royal Artillery, with 120 non-commissioned officers and gunners of the 2d, 3d, 4th, sth, 7th, and 10th battalions, assembled at 11 o'clock a.m. yesterday on the guard mounting parade for the commandant's inspection. They are expected to embark in the course of the present week in the City of London transport-steamer for a passage to the East, the company to be stationed as a reserve company at Malta, and the detachments to fill up the companies serving at Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu. RECRUITS FOR THE ARMY. Yesterday morning seventy-three athletic young men, who had arrived on the preceding day by railway from the Northern, Midland, and Eastern Counties, underwent a surgical and military inspection, at the principal re cruiting office, Duke-street, Westminster. The greater portion of the above recruits, and the remainder volun teers from militia regiments, who, having been drilled, will in a short ime be available for service. The Royal Marines and Artillery have been very successful in obtain ing large numbers of young men, who, for the most part, are above the minimum standard. Recruiting for the household troops progresses rapidly, particularly for the Coldstream and Scots Fusilier Guards, which regiments have each raised nearly 250 men since the departure of the service companies for the seat of war ; and the young sol diers are so far advanced that they join in the field evolu tions that are practised daily in Hyde-park. Great diffi culty is, however, experienced in obtaining recruits for the cavalry. “ THE SOLDIER'S FRIEND.”—A letter from a private sol. Bier in the Duke of Cambridge's division, says :—" But in justice I must say that our officers in command here are doing their utmost to ameliorate our condition, and our commander, the Duke of Cambridge, cope_ cially, is never at rest, visiting the hospitals, and cheering the drooping spirits of the soldiers. He has sur prised the whole of us, for when he was in Chobham, in command of the cavalry, he was rather supposed to be overbearing ; but since he has came out here he has gained the heartfelt devotion of every soldier 'n his division, and it ever he has an o Tortunity of leading us to battle most nobly will we stand by him, for ne has proved hi nself our friend, and from his high rank has got us many comforts that no other commander would have dared to ask for."

A reduction of 25 per cent. upon the tariff upon all messages passing through France has been made in favour of these companies, and when the system is more perfectly developed a considerable in crease of business may with confidence be anticipated. Notwithstanding the depressed state of all mercantile transactions, and the disturbed condition of trade during a time of war, the gross number of messages carried be tween London and the Continent has only been 1,032 less than those of the preceding half-year. The amount paid on these messages is less by 1,8221. ss. 4d., as the directors, in accordance with the wish expressed by foreign governments, and also to afford greater induce ment to the public to avail themselves of the advantages of the telegraph, have reduced the charges on continental despatches nearly 20 per cent. An increase of 3,1451. Os. Gd. has been incurred in the capital account. The directors now recommend a dividend to 'be declared at the rate of 31 per cent, for the last six mouths, on the capital of the company, which will leave a balance of 1751. 10s. Gd." The following directors, who retired by rotation, were re-elected :—Sir James Robert Carmichael, Bart., Er nest Bunsen, Esq., and the Chevalier Drouet. CRYSTAL PALACE, Aug. 30.—SHILLING DAY.-- Admission at the doors, 9,180 ; admission by season tickets, 663; total, 9,731 G. CRAWSITAY, Esq., one of the principal promoters of the meeting, and who was received with loud applause, having read the requisition convening the meeting, The MAYOR rose to introduce the business. He said he had little expected to bo called so soon to preside over a meeting of that description, for it was not leng since they had had a meeting which was a very satisfactory one; but as they found the Government had not done—at least they thought it had not done -(applause)—its duty, the present meeting had been called, and he hoped they would give every speaker a fair hearing. He begged leave to call on Mr. Crawshay to propose the first resolu tion. (Applause.) G. CRAWSHAY, Esq., rose amidst renewed applause and said—Mr. Mayor, and f e llow - townsmen, it is sufficiently evident upon the face of that requisition that this meeting has originated in a feeling of . dissatisfaction with the pre sent position of this country in the war with Russia. (Hear, hear.) I will say on behalf, not only of myself, but of our valued and respected friend Mr. Attwood, that if we have come forward on thili occasion it is because we have felt it impossible any longer to be silent With a due regard to our convictions and to that duty which we con ceive we owe to our country. (Applause.) Gentlemen, it would not have been necessary for us to have taken any such step had the House of Commons done its duty. But the House of Commons did not do its duty ; and that ex pression of opinion which was not made in that house we trust to see given voice to in this meeting, and all over the country. (Cheers.) We are not, gentlemen, going to lay before you a pl an o f campaign, but a declarationo prin ciples. I am aware that some of the Government scribes in the newspapers deny that there is any principle at all in this war. But we are of a different opinion. Now to ascertain upon what principles we should oppose Russia, let us consider what are the principles and what are the characteristics of Russia as developed in that history, the great facts of which are k nown to every child, but which seem to be forgotten by her Majesty's Government. (Hear, hear.) Why, gentlemen, you all know perfectly well that Russia is a despotism--most unmitigated and most de grading—that it may be described as a government of the priest, the soldier, and the spy, in which the soldier is above the priest, and the spy is above both—(hear, hear)—and the Czar, he is the high priest, s em . mander-in-chief, and grand spy, all in one. (Cheers.) I have no animosity, and the English people have none, against the Russian people. I am dealing with the Go vernment. (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, if that Go vernment had been content to remain quietly within limits, and not to have troubled its neighbours, it would have been no business of ours to meddle with it. But if there be one fact in modern history better established than another, it is that the despotism of Russia is essentially aggressive—(hear, hear)—that it is the thought by day and the dream by night of that Government to conquer, to annex, any country whatever which it comes in con tact with. And, gentlemen, there is no fact more certain, and we should never forget.it, that in this 19th century, in this age of Crystal Palaces and civilisation, here we have a brutal despotism incessantlyendeavouring to extend itself to the utmost limits possible, and which endeavours to ac complish its ends by means most wicked, which sticks at no crime, which stirs up dissensions amongst peoples, which sets people against their rulers, and t ulers against their people, and strives by every possible crime to spread this brutal and disgusting Government all over the world. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is not too much to say that Russia has the fixed design of attaining to universal do mination, because the amount of the limits put to her pro gress is the resistance it will find, and nothing less. Now, gentlemen, such being the character of Russia, and such her principles —are there no principles, no opinions, opposed to Russia on the other side ? Is there no love of liberty ? Why, gentlemen, I take it, that it is on account of the hatred to those principles, and on account of the love of opposite principles, that nine out of ten of the people of this country have given their sanction to this war. (Applause.) If we could sup pose that the extension of Russian rule over Turkey would have benefited Turkey, I maintain the people of this country would not have suffered the Government to go to war. But whatever faults Turkey might have, we re membered that after the Hungarian war—(hear, hear)-- the Sultan of Turkey cast his shield over the refugees— (loud applause)—and while by so doing he marked himself out for the next victim of despotism, he at the same time entitled himself to the sympathy and support of every liberal-minded man in Europe. (Loud cheers.) Talk o: there being no principle involved in the war—why I fear lessly- assert that but fur thl act, and the Sultan by it having identified himself with the cause of humanity and liberty, there would have been no war at all. (Hear, hear, and applause.) If the Sultan had been base enough to have delivered up Kossuth, the popular sentiment would have been indifferent to her—we should have had no war. Lord Aberdeen, Mr. Cobden, and the Times, would have prevented it ; and though we might still have contended with Russia, it would have b een upon some o th er battle field. Therefore nothing can be more false than to assert that there is no principle in this war. Either the war is a humbug, or it is the commencement of a general European revolt of the principles of justice and freedom against those evil principles which have attained such undue pre dominancy in Europe by the influence of Russia, and our Government may depend upon it that they cannot pru dently or safely in their conduct of this war depart from those principles, owing to th e i r f a ith i n w hi c h th e peop l e have so nobly and heartily come forward and offered to be taxed to support them to the last shilling in their purse, and lose the last drop of blood in waging the war with Russia. (Applause.) Now, having laid down our principle, it will be an easier matter for me to deduce from it what we consider should be the objects of the war, and the means by which they should be obtained. We are simple enough to believe that the principle object:of the war is to break down the power of Russia—(hear)—to he greatest extent we shall find it practicable in the cour of the war. Gen tlemen, we don't t rus t R ussia. 1 would not trust her an inch. We want "material guarantees." Nothing else will do. Havi ng b een compelled to draw the sword, we must try to attain from it the utmost good possible ; and I think the greatest amount of good would consist in bringing the peace till he hu m bl y an d Czar down to hi s marrow bones, and never talk about penitently sues for it. (Cheers.) So much for th e o bj ects of the war, and now for the means of obtaining them. First, there are the usual military means, which the people have furnished so liberally to the Government. W e , o f course, desire them to be used with effect. But what we most particularly desire attention to are those moral means —that great moral force which the previous history and the crime s of Russia have placed in the hands of England, in the sympathies of those nations which she has trodden down and oppressed. To explain what I mean, it is enough to pronounce the names of Fin land, Poland, and Circassia. (Loud applause.) Now, roust rs,trils theye thesh should ü b i l d o blow." see ." friends, don't mistake me. I ,Ve do not say even that we are certain that it is in our power to make these countries ur io s n el o y f e t s h m is free. We know the old a ,i sge _ 111 . " Who would be free, (Applause.) But at the same time, if in the course of the oppor tunity of taking advantage of it in order - to recover their freedom, and manfully exert themselves for that purpose, what we do say is, that the an y have a right to look for the vigorous pros T ec h u e t support and countenance of England. (Cheers.) Gentle men, we ought to consider ourselves fortunate if such events should take place, and if Poland and other countries should recover their freedom, because then, indeed, a most satisfactory termination would be put to the war, and the world would be in peace, and delivered from the aggres sions and robberies of the Czar. But, as I said before, I do not on this occasion lay down plans of campaigns. We are here to lay down principles. But I will tell you most truly what we will not du. We will not barter the esteem and sympathy of one honest patriotic refee such as we have hare. (Applause, and cr i es of "N a m e ' ) I t is M. Worcell. We would not barter the estee m of a good and brave man like that for the a llian ce of all tne monarchs of Europe. (Applause.) But, gentlemen, "hat have the Go vernment done? (Hear.) Why, they have sold the hopes of Poland and the sympathies of England—(a c or two of "No, no," drowned amidst cries of "yes "and vehement applause)—they have sold them to Austria, and what for? Nut for her honest alliance—not even for her help iu the war with Russia. That would have been dirt cheap • but they have sold us cheaper than that—f or that sneaking, contemptible, equivocal occupation of the Danubian Pro vinces by the Austrian armies, after Turkey had rescued them by her own gallant efforts, whilst the Austrians, too much like our own armies, were looking On. (Shouts of " Hear, hear.") Gentlemen, you will now understand our principles ; you will understand our objects, and the means we would employ. According to the terms of the requisition, the last question that rem a i ns is that of what measures we can adopt to-night to give effect to our views. Now, gentlemen, if the Government of this country had shown by their conduct that they even approximated in any degree to our principles, we should have been satisfied, as upon former occasions, to have adopted a respectful memorial to them, setting forth our views, and begging them to give them their consideration. But they h ave so completely separated themselves from us, and from the great body of the English public, by this unhappy Austrian alliance, that we should say less than the truth were we to say that we ought to confine ourselves to such a step. Fellow countrymen the memorial which I shall read to you contains an avowal of our want of confidence in the present Government. (Tremendous cheers.) We consider it is impos sible for them to satisfy the Austrian Government and to satisfy the English people; and we wish them clearly to under stand that they cannot have the confidence of the Austrian Government and the confidence of the English people at the same time. (Applause.) " Oh !" but some good peopl e will say, " Austria is going to become liberal." y ou d on ' t know. I have heard it said Francis Joseph would be com ing some fine morning to Pesth to be crowned King of Hungary, and grant the Hungarians all their rights and privileges. No, gentlemen, we don't know ; and it is pre cisely because we don't know that we shall not act upon such a supposition. (Hear.) In so serious a matter as this we must be guided by facts , • and what are the facts? The facts are that this Austrian Government, of which our Go vernment is so enamoured, is a despotism very little better than the Russian. (Hear, hear, and a shout of " It is worse.") Worse, very likely. But we find that, more than that, A ustria shares with Russia in the spoils of Po land—(shouts of "Hear, hear")--and the Austrian empire would not exist at the present time, that is to say, it would either be a constitutional government, or it would have cease 1 to exist. had it not been for the march of the Russian armies into Hungary only the other day. (Hear.) Wh y, gentlemen, the Austrian Government are as guilty of this war as Russia. If that base Government had not invited I the Russian armies into Hungary, we should have had a free people over all the territories of Austria, and Russia never would have dared to attack Turkey. (Applause.) At all events, we say this, until we can be satisfied that the Austrian alliance will not alienate from this country the sympathies of liberals all over Europe, and shield Russia from the deserved consequences of the present war, we protest against it altogether—(applause) —and that. onus of proof to the contrary lies upon the Government. Let them come forward, and let them show that Austria is different-from what she was, and then that will he time for us to reconsider our opinions. In the meantime we stand upon facts and truth, and we denounce the alliance. (Cheers.) We apprehend that this alliance, will, in the first place, prevent the cause of liberty from getting the advantages from this war which would come of coarse, and naturally, but for the interference of Austria. - De pend upon it that it is part of the understanding between the English Government and the Austrian Government that, so long as they keep together, the question of Poland is not to be mooted. (Hear.) And more, you may depend upon it that if this alliance proceeds further—if an offensive and defensive alliance is concluded between England, France, and Austria—and Austria does declare war against Russia—part of the bargain will be that Franco is to sup port Austria in keeping down Italy ; and, gentlemen, our Government, not daring, on account of "the prejudice of the people," to take any part in this, will give it their moral sanction, and will wink at it, as they did at the French intervention in Rome. (Loud cheers.) Let us trust that it will not come to this. For my own part, I trust and hope, and I beieve it will not ; but speaking here, and having to speak the truth, I feel bound to give this warning. Secondly, gentlemen, the Austrian alliance will act as the shield of Russia ; a sort of buffer, to keep her from getting such hard blows as we wish to give her. Now, fortunately, there is no occasion for me to indulge in speculations on that head. I have the proof in my hand in these recent protocols or negotiations, which you may see in all the papers. If you look at the papers of Saturday night, you will see letters interchanged by Count Buol and our precious Ambassador of Vienna, Lord Westmoreland ; and you will find four conditions of peace. It is not my intention to trouble you with reading any such trash as theie conditions, which impose no material guarantee whatever—(hear, hear)—and the chief part of which is based upon a lie. They are based upon the old original lie that the inhabitants of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Servia require protection against the Sultan. It is upon a lie of that kind that Russia based her interference. To be sure Russia is not to be the sole protector, but this lie is to be split up into five ties, and England, France, Russia, Aus tria, and Prussia are to be the protectors of the inhabi tants of those provinces who have nothing to complain of from the Sultan. (Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, I care not so much to go into the details of those rubbishing proposals, as to bring, which I do, the charge, the heavy charge—l bring this, the heavy accusation against the Government, and especially against Lord Aberdeen—(lond and protracted cheers, which burst forth again and again from the vast assemblage)—for having opened any such correspondence whatever before the armies and navies had struck a single blow. (Hear, hear, hear.) Wh a t did Lord Aberdeen say in the House of Lords when he was .badgered, and baited, and asked what terms of peace he intended to recommend ? " My lords," he said, " how is it possible for me to name terms of peace at the present moment ? Those terms of peace must depend upon the fortune of war. They will vary to the whole extent between the circumstance of the Russians being at Constantinople, and the allies being at St. Petersburg." Then what does he mean by opening negotiations before the armies have done anything at all ?—for, if you look at the date, you will find that the first letter upon the sub ject was written before even Bomarsund was taken. (Hear, hear.) Now, these terms have been so thoroughly exposed by that able man Kossuth, at Hanley the other day—(cheers)—that there is no occasion for me to say more about them. Now, I was very much amazed to see an article in the Times a day or two ago, to reassure the public, to the effect that the negotiations are all a farce— a humbug, and nothing will or can come of them ; that Aus tria is trying to mediate, but nothing can be done ; no, the war mu- t go on till at least Sebastopol be taken. I laughed at the time. My belief is these terms of peace will come to nothing. But let us not relieve the Government from the charge of negotiating a patched-up, .a hollow and delusive peace before they have commenced any real war. Why, nothing but the pride and arrogance of Russia saves us. If he chooses to say, "I accept your terms," they must ne gotiate, and not carry on the war. Lastly, gentlemen, my belief is this, that the Austrian alliance will ultimately ruin Turkey. Why, did you not all feel lately, and do not you all feel now, that Turkey was saved when the Sultan cast hisshield over Kossuth. Then, if Turkey is to be under Austrian influence, why, we shall have the spy system in troduced—then Turkey will be assimilated to the habits of European despotism; she will be detached from the liberal cause, and, when the next rising takes placein Europe, as come it must, .as sure as the sun will rise to-morrow, you may depend upon it that the Austrian Government will exert thatinfluence which the British Government is placing in her hand over Turkey, to prevent her acting in the same magnanimous manner as she did before. If this should be the result, then Turkey is lost ; and therefore I warn Turkey to beware of Austria and her corrupting influence, otherwise Oaser Pacha and Abd-ul-Medjid may be the last, of her heroes—never has she had greater. (Applause.) And I have no objection to sum all up in the words of Lord Clarendon himself, who said that what they de sired was the tranquillity of Europe. (Hear, bear.) But surely experience of the past ought to teach even a Cabinet Minister that real tranquillity, that real peace, a peace founded upon justice, a peace that will lead to that most desirable of all consummations, a general disarma ment of Europe—such a peace as that is not to be at tained by connivance and injustice. (Applause.) They will only give us an armed truce, which will cost nB9:flora than the war with Russia to carry it vigorously to a con clusion. No, we have invited you this evening, believing that a real and substantial peace can only be obtained by a policy founded upon high principles, guided by wisdom and by trust in God, whose truth is in that divine justice whose workings aro not obscure as regards nations, and which will not assuredly lift up or cas t down this nation exactly in proportion as it is faithful or otherwise to those great prin ciples which are enshrined in the hearts of freemen, and except on behalf of which the sword of England never should be drawn. But the sword having once been drawn on behalf of those principles, we say the sword should not be sheathed again except with honour. (Applause.) I will now read the memorial which I propose for your adoption: "May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's loyal subjects, inhabitants of Newcastle-on-Tyne and vicinity, in public meeting duly assembled, humbly beg leave to ap proach your Maje s ty, an d t o l ay -b e f ore your Majesty our views upon the subject of the war with Russia. " We believe that the aggression upon Turkey, out of which this war has arisen, is to be regarded only in the light of a single manifestation of the systematic and continuous policy of Russia, with the design of establishing an universal domi nation by force and fraud, and especially by means of the European system of secret diplomacy ; and we consequently consider that it is vitally essential to the safety of this realm and state that this war should be carried on with the fixed purpose of breaking down her power, and rendering her no longer dangerous. As means to this end we consider that if, availing themselves of the opportunity afforded by the present war, as is to be expected, Poland, Circassia, or the people of any other country oppressed by Russia, should commence or continue a struggle to regain their independence, it would be equally contrary to the interests and duty of England to withhold her countenance and support. Considering the manner in which the negotiations and the war itself have been carried on, we are of opinion that your Majesty's ministers neither h :lee been, nor are, nor have any inten tion of acting in accordance with these principles, or with that earnestness and fixedness of purpose so imperatively requisite in the present crisis. We are especially confirmed in this opinion by the un doubted fact that your Majesty's ministers have exercised their influence over Turkey to induce her to sign a conven tion for the occupation by an Austrian army of her Danu bian provinces, which she has reconqueredfrom the invader by her own unaided efforts. We are at a loss to account otherwise than as evidence of the insincerity or incapacity , of the administration in the war with Russia, for their con ductin having thus promoted arrangements with the object of enabling Austria to take up a most important military position, by which she would have the opportunity of 'corn promisingthe wholecause and objectsof the war at the very time when, by their own confession, they were uncertain of her intention to co-operate with them in the war against Russia—an uncertainty which still remains. Considering the peculiar relations of Austria with the court of Russia, sharing with her the spoils of Poland, and holding even her own hereditary dominions under the protection and by the aid of Russia, it appears to ua of the most ob vious necessity to exercise the utmost caution in all deal ings with her, instead of thus placing her gratuitously in a position to fetter our awn liberty of action. We feel called upon to protest against the Austrian alliance alto gether ; inasmuch as we cannot see how that alliance, even if sincere, is to be secured except upon such terms as shall alienate from this country and Turkey the sympathies of liberal Europe, and avert from Russia a large portion of the deserved consequences of the present war. " Under these circumstances, we feel it to be our duty, as loyal subjects of your Majesty, and as lovers of our country, respectfully to inform your Majesty that we are unable to place confidence in the present administration for the con duct of the war ; and we humbly entreat your Majesty graciously to consider whether or not we have assigned just grounds for such want of confidence, and whether it -has not become necessary to call to your Majesty's councils, without regard to party, men who will act honestly, vigo rously, and unanimously in the present emergency, and carry on the war with Russia in accordance with the wishes, of the nation." Loud applause accompanied and followed the reading of the memorial. Before sitting down, Mr. CRAWSIIAY said—l have one or two words to say. I will not say there may not be men in that Government—l will name none—who may still ren der good service to their country—but I do feel it is time to break up this Coalition—(cheers) —and as long as it is presided over by Lord Aberdeen we have no option but to go at it a t once . (Cheering.) It may be said—' , Would You not look foolish if Sebastopol were taken to-mor row?" Not at all. If Sebastopol be not taken it will not be a question of want of confidence, but a question of impeachment, and all England willrally to the opinions of Mr. Urquhart ; but even the taking of Sebastopol will not induce me to restore my confidence to the Government, and never will I consent to leave the making of peace with R • t o G overnment at the head of which is Lord. Russia a Aberdeen. (Loud cheering.) CHARLES ATTWooD, Esq., on presenting himself to second the memorial, was received with enthusiastic ap plause, which was continued for some time. The first few words ho addreseed to the "nesting, were inaudible, from the emotion produced by the cordiality of his reception. I will presently (he continued) state the main Object of this meet ing —the main object, at least, of the requisitionists ha s been to cause apublic expression of the want of confidence entertained by, as I believe, nine-tenths of the English people as respects the conduct of our Government, equally iu the progress of the preceding negotiations, as in the pre sent conduct of the war. (Hear, hear.) If you refer back— end it is necessary that we should do so, for the past may some light upon the present and the future —if you refer back to the commencement of bless° negotiations, you will find some date on the part of Lord Aberdeen as tar back as the year 1814, when he clandestin, ly received and clandestinely entertained at the hands of the Emperor of Russia in person a proposition for the,,han p art ition 6te of an T d ur l k o e u y d , his sovereign's ally. (Shouts of j cheers.) I speak of a fact which is p os iti ve l y and un questionably correct. For after these negotiations which were carried on, as befitted such a piece of villany, in secrecy and silence, by word o f mou th , t h e E mperor h a d the tact t o take care and have the evidence of the villany —for I will call it nothing else—to have the evidence of that villany in writing, and accordingly he caused Count Nesselrode to send a memorandum to Lord Aberdeen of the circumstances,. and matter of this conversation and discussion, which memorandum was neither rejected nor returned. I speak before commercial men, who knew very well the construction which a court of law would put on such an action. If I, for instance, in the course of my own cominercial dealings, were desirous to sell 5'.0 or 1,000 or 10,000 tons of iron to my friend Mr. Crawshay, and suppose I negotiated the sale personally in his own parlour or mine, and it having come to a conclusion, a bargain should be the result; and supposs that I sent him a note or memorandum of the substance of what passed ; that, in commercial parlance, is called a sale note • and, if not returned, nothing more is requisite; it is leg ally bind ing, and it is so on the plainest principles o common sense. (Hear, hear.) If I propose to you a murder, as was then proposed to Lord Aberdeen—because I call the murder of a state and the murder of a person as of pre cisely the same character—if I propose a murder in oral conversation, and having do ne so; if I send a ft erwards a memorandum in writing of what has passed, and the terms of the compact as to the division of the spoil, and that is not returned to me, what construction can I put upon the part of the receiver of that note, than that he has accepted the proposition, and is prepared to carry it out. (Hear, hear.) Such is your Minister, Lord Aberdeen. (Hear, fiear.) It did so happen that Lord Aberdeen lost power. He was deposed from office and remained out of power; would to Heaven he had done so always—(loud cheers)—he remained out of power till very recently—an occasion which was immediately taken by his accomplice to act upon the project agreed upon be tween them. Now, you see the value of referring to the past. (Cheers.) You know what faith you have to place in the sincerity of a war waged by that man against his own accomplice. (Hear, hear.) If we had no other evidence than that, you would be void of common sense if you did not feel and say that the interests, the honour, and life of this nation ought not for a single moment to be confided unto him. (Vehement cheering.) The speaker here no ticed .the origin of the contest, and traced its develop ment- under the influence of national sentiments to the present time. He then proceeded—We are nomi nally at war, reaping no laurels, fighting no battles, assisting no ally, and gaining no victory, eaten up by pestilence and cholera, and, as was said of the troops of a former expedition at Walchern, " dying like candles in a vault." (Hear, hear.) Still no blows struck—a mighty fleet in the Baltic, and a barren fortress in a barren island taken—a place which perhaps there might be some motive to take bad we been sincere, and had we said to Sweden that which also we ought to say to Hungary and Poland— (hear, hear)- e had we said to her, "All the possessions of Russia in the Baltic are robbed from you and from the Po:es. She is dangerous to you and dangerous to Europe by the possessions she has ecquired there. She has sub verted your independence by the overgrowth of her power, and that of Denmark, and she has placed herself in a posi tion to be the near aspirant to the Danish throne, and then she would be in a position to make the Baltic a Russian lake.' Had we said to Sweden, "We are at war with Russia, and mean to break her power ; march, and recover your lost and conquered provinces." (Hear.) Had we said the same to Turkey—had we said the same to Persia —had we said the same to Circassia—she would have been in the centre of a fire, surrounded by outraged nationalities. (Hear, hear, cheers, and shouts of " That is what we want.") But Lord Aberdeen is no more ignorant of that than we are. The secret of his conduct—the reason why he did not say this—you may gather from his own words. He said it was no part of the object of the war to vary the territorial distribution of Europe. (Hear, hear.) Then, are we at war for nothing ? Turkey does not require you. If you stop short of that, every life that is sacrificed in this war, every sovereign that is squandered, the Ministry should be made responsible for in that way in which alone a treasonable Ministry ought—by impeachment before a Constitutional tribunal. (Protracted cheering, and shouts of "We wish it were the case.") lam not, my friends, a bloody man. lam not one of those who in any case would desire to shed a drop of human blood, except by the sanction of the laws, and of such laws only as are essential to the nation's safety. (Applause.) But I hold that man cruel beyond all other forms of cruelty, who will deprive a nation of his fellow men, women, and children, of the pro tection which the laws afford them against treason. (Hear, hear.) It is an evil thing for a state when that feeling shall have become extended amongst a people. Never was it known at any period that a nation that had lost that sense of justice, and that firm and ardent determination to enforce it in all such cases, was able long to protect itself against the conqueror. (Hear.) Heaven knows the courage of Englishmen glows as warmly and energetically as ever. But there is a folly which destroys, as well as a treason which betrays, and that folly is quite sufficient to destroy which can look with indifference and tenderness on the greatest crime that can be committed against a state. Now, my friends, let me pass from that topic to another, which will shed a little further light upon the spirit in which this war is carried on. It has been touched upon, and very ably, by my friend Mr. Crawshay. Holding back Turkey as long as we could, and professing to assist her, and contriving to render our assistance vain, what did we next do? We had been carrying on fruitless negotiations with Austria, with a power which depended on Russia for her very life. Was it possible for any sane man to believe that Austria could be for us a safe ally ? Had she come forward early, and plainly, and unequivocally, with a de claration of war against Russia, -and . that declaration of war was followed up by acts of war, we might then have supposed some trust might be reposed in her, for we should have inferred that having lost her independence to Russia she was willing to commit what the late Prince Schwartzen burgh called, on her behalf, an act of splendid ingratitude in order to recover it. But has she done anything like this ? Has she done anything but retard us and France ? Has she :one anything but make professions, not one of them amounting to so much as a threat of war? She said she would march into the Principalities, but she did not say she would fight, and took care not to march in till the fighting was over. But where was she now ? The Turks would not allow her to march on, but the influence of England was brought into play, and Turkey was induced in an unhappy hour to allow the occupation of the Danu bian provinces by the Austrians. Now, look at the posi tion you are p l ace d in by that ? Not only is she not at war, but she is occupying those territories of her ally which do not want her, but have every reason to be jealous of her, and look upon her, as in fact she is, as a foe to Turkey ; and she places herself upon the flank of the English and French forces, in a position in which, if you go to Sebastopol, as the Ministry seem inclined to make you believe is intended we shall do —if we go to Sebastopol, I want to know what security you and Turkey have that, combined, the Austrians and Russians .vill not march to Constantinople. (Hear.) Dare you trust Austria so far as that ? If you do it is because you not know her history—the history, as Cobbett called it, of that " dark and deadly Austria." (Cheers.) But, at all events, you have not one single article Irons her to bind her even in honour, if honour she possessed, to support you in the war against Russia ; but you have got her pledge declaring she does not call for, and will not con sent to, a new territorial distribution of Europe. To be sure she Iris good reason. She has her share in the bloody spoils of Poland. (Cheers.) Again, look you, is this an act, which the English minister, having a due regard to the safety and the influence of his country, ought to be considered justified in permitting with such a power—and a power so circumstanced as Austria ? (Hear, hear.) Well, my friends, yet more. They are treating again— there is protocolling going on; and if it be not going on, it is hatching —it is on the carpet, it is under proposition; and the terms of that treaty as at last formally declared— and, I regret, declared by Era.nce as well as England —are such as neither can with honour, and I sLy mole, with safety, be conceded to Russia ; for the terms are these— that Russia having, by aggressions on various occasions, constituted herself the protector of the Danubian pro vinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, she shall give up that protectorate—bow ?—as an exclusive protector, and be come a protector jointly with four others, Prussia, Austria, France, and England. Do you call that backing your friends, and supporting your allies ? Is that the manner in which you are to defend the in tegrity of the Ottoman empire ? Seven spirits fouler than the former enter into possession. (Loud cheers.) Well, that is not all. But the claims which Russia advanced by means of Prince Menschikoff to the protectorate of all the Greek Christians of Turkey it is proposed to vest in the governments in the same man ner. Their good friend Prussia, their better friend Austria, their two friends, Austria and Prussia; and France and England, I am sure I know not whytheyare to be troubled with the protection of the Greeks of Turkey. Now, the more claimants to exercise a protectorate that are brought together in this league of iniquity, the more perilous must Turkey be in her resistance to it; and you are included for no other reason than to conceal from you the enormity of the pretension by making you parties to it. You will na turally infer that England intends nothing hostile to Turkey by it, and it is supposed that will be sufficient to blind your eyes. _ I trust and believe it will not. I trust gross 'lld a o that which honest men you can't be deceived by so piece of diplomacy, and that not being deceived you wl —which Englishmen, and which freemen ought not tt t 0 0 0 be do,that you will proclaim aloud and in a an mis taken, and, if necessary, not to be resisted, that T ur k ey shall not be betrayed neither to Russia, nor to Au s t r i a, nor to Prussia, nor to the three cabinets who fram e d thi s proposition—that you will not allow it at all—but that Turkey may be left to fight her own battle of def ence, and that we will fight ours. The speaker conti nue d at some length to expose this attempt to transf e r p ro t ec t oratesto the five powers, which we were now at war to prevent Russia, from obtaining. At considerable length als o , h e referred to the cause of aggression which had been pursued by Russia and warned England that if we a tt emp t e d to pursue a hesi tatingn policy we must prepare to encounter the hostility of the French in addition to our other enemies ; and that to put an end to the war without having effectually humbled Russia, and deprived her of the power of further mischief, would be to endanger the independence of England herself from the assaults of Russia in her future aggressive career. In conclusion, he strongly impressed upon the people the necessity of not letting their feelings on the matter evapo rate amidst the enthusiasm of this public meeting. They tows ld pr d ob all ably have to meet again ; an d meetings ought bhel over the country, to expose the infaous e- signs of Rus s i a , an d defeat the traitorous policy of our ow d n Government with reference to it ; a Government which he vehemently denounced as unworthy of confidence, and de serving of expulsion from office, and its more guilty mem bers of impeachment. (Applause.) Mr. WORCELL, the Polish refugee who had been referred to by one of the previous speakers, addressed a few words to the meeting, acknowledging the friendly manner in which his country had been mentioned. The memorial was about to be put, when a man named Egliegton came forward and made some observations con veying to the meeting the impression that the preceding speakers had gone much t oo f ar aga i nst the Government, and that his object was to place matters in a more favour able light. B ut the meetitig at once by re p ea ted bursts of disapprob a ti on conveyed the intimation that theirmin ds were made up on th a t point. The speaker then, premising that he would go much further than the previous .n speakers, and end w ith something practical, managed to n e a bear ing, and conc l u d ed with proposing as an amendment manner, a in order t o carry on t h e war in a more effective 2 1 ent that her Majesty's Ministers send but orders ou t l o d Napier to take Cronstadt, but that as it c requiring five without a loss of six line- • Sir Charles be done ' ' of•battle ship s, thousand men to man those - vessels, we, psilletindersigned, THE BOMARSUND PRISONER& The Moniteur contains the following Imperial decree, promulgating the convention concluded between France and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for regulating the disposal of prisoners of war : "Napoleon, by the grace of God and the national will, Emperor of the French.

The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of this corn. pany was held yesterday, at their offices, Villiers-street, Strand, R. Few, Esq., Chairman, presiding. The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that, from the account of the receipts and payments for the half-year terminating the 31st ult., it appeared there was a steady improvement in the tolls. The receipts for that period amounted to 3,322/. 9s. Bd., being an increase, as compared with the corresponding six months of the preceding year, of 3151. lls. 2d., and being higher than any f ormer half-year, with the exception of the year 1851, when the Great Exhibition in Hyde -park was open. But, though the actual receipts were higher, yet, in con sequence of the state of the money-market, the directors had not only been prevented re - adjusting the revenue ac count by raising a loan of 1,7611. 4s. sd. due from the capital account at the date of the last half-yearly meeting, but had been compelled to make a further payment of 500/, from the revenue account in liquidation of a bond for that amount, which became due in January last, thereby increasing the advance from the revenue accountto 2,261!. 4s. sd. That sum would have provided a dividend st the present meeting, after a payment of all charges.. thereon, but the directors could not, under existing . .ir_ cumstances, recommend a declaration of dividend fl o ta r : present half-year. It would be for the brider:?Pr_ . lg . to say whether the company should revive _ o r g u ene • application to enlarge the present for ridtg bill of 14 7 . . o eri l c i i v i e n i g ra ,i. traffic, or whether they should wait u including a balance of 1,9181. 1 2d., d that the receipts, 3,3221.

As com pared with the three former years, the number of punish ments awarded to prisoners is somewhat increased ; and the number of prisoners -who have escaped punishment, in proportion to the total population, is less than in the same years.
