They had always said that he was animated by an unscrupulous ambition, and that he sought to put down liberty all over the world. They had been called revolu tionists and disturbers of the public peace for stating so. and it had been asserted that the Emperor was the friend of order, the ally of England, and an enlightened and glorious prince, at the mention of whose name all eoc.'d men should turn up their eyes with reverence ; but now he was universally denounced. England, France, and Turkey bad entered into an alliance to repel his aggressions, avid even the German Powers had gone the length of recordheg their condemnation of his conduct. These things wave very encouraging, and he hoped would lead to results fa vourable to the independence of the nations of the world, and especially Poland. If Poland was restored, and hada flag and Government of its own, it would hardly be a greater change than what had taken place in the prospects of the• association since the last annuli meetii g. He did not ex pect that the war would be Er ugtit to a epee, iy conclusion. The Cabinets of Eurep 3 still regarded tie re-establishment of Poland as an event too great and dazzling to be looked to. but his conviction was that the course of the war would prove it to be necessary. Governments were already step after step compelled to take unexpected views of their situation. The formation of a Polish legion did not at first meet with the approbation of the Allied Powers. It was the opinion of Lord Palmerston that it would be wise for Turkey to enrol a Polish legion, but he was not the head of the Go vernment. On his (Lord Dudley tuait'e) visit to the East he found the Turkish Ministry a I willing and ready to employ the aid of the Poles, wl.o were united with them in a common hatred of Russia ; but they were with held from doing so by the rep. ta intations of the ambas sadors. It was not long, howev r, before the French Go vernment saw the error they w ere committing, and the French Ambassador gave the measure his support. So completely, also, had our owe Government become favour able to it that official despatches had been addressed to Lord Stratford de Redclitle directing him to give all his aid to the formation of a Polish legion. The Government of this country were now sensible of the advantage to Turkey of employing Poles in the service, and had given directions for a largo supply of arms, to be placed at the disposal of the commander of the British forces for the use of a Polish legion. 1 hat legion was likely, therefore, soon to be formed, and he had no doubt that, animated by patriotic sentiments, when it came in contact with the soldiers of the Czar, it would give a good account of them. He was anxious that all the Poles who were able to do so should place their swords at the disposal of the Sultan. Many of them might prefer to serve directly un der England o r F ranc e, and he admitted that it would be preferable, but they would go on by degrees; and by-and by the Government of this country might be induced to take more direct steps for availing itself of the services of the Poles. In resisting Russia in any way they were paving the way for the restoration of their country. The noblo lord having referred to a meeting with Cossacks on the line of the Danube, officered by Poles, during his recent visit to the seat of w ar , p rocee d e d t o disclaim, on the part of the Polish nation, any participation in the visionary principles of the Reil Rspuutic. tie did not know what govern ment migh Le Polan. 1 when the hated yoke of ime foreign opi ressor was destroyed, but he sboull wish to see any government established there v, hien wes a Polish Government, ai d which would meet with the approbation of the great mass of the people. It might not be so liberal as some thought desirable, but if once they obtained a national government, a nd broke the yoke of the foreign oppressor, they might improve it at their leisure. He was afraid that the English Cabiuet flattered itself that it would be able to get to the end of the prest nt war at a small cost and without great sacrifices. The Chaneellor of the Exchequer talks iof pro vi,ling for the necessities of the war by doubling tLe income tax for half a year, and discountenanced the idea of saddling posterity with the expenses. That was all very ell, if money co uld thus be provide d to effect the desired o ect ; but he (Lord 1). Stuart) did not cos s der the arAu to ni i .n; :li a_ sound one. In driving back Russia to her owe tem _ dain taining the balance of power in Europe they were fightinfor pro posterity, for the future liberty of natisns, and the ressive civilisation of the woad. The noble lord pro. g ceeded at some length to explain his views on the subject of the war, and concluded by thanking the association for re-electing him to the office of president. The vice-presideut and members of council for the year having been formally appoin ted, the proceedings of he t meeting terminated. Lord BEAUMoNT announced during the meeting, amid loud cheers, the news just received of the victory achieved by Omer Pasha over General Luders. but to interfere, as far as it may, between the meritorious and those calamities against which no rank of merit can be always a security." Its purpose was to give assistance 'to genius, which, notwithstanding its efforts, might for a time remain obscure. The greatest eventual success might be preceded by trial and affliction, and it was not desirable that authors should always be encouraged to lo ok merel y to temporary objects and to the popularity of the hour. It had also been said that such an institution was unneces sary, as the patronage at the disposal of the Crow n was sufficient for,i,Twhoe t r o chis m ero e of et rw t o h ipl e cases which it was intended to r emed y . But it must be remembered that the patronage of t he Crown had not al ways been bestowed with discrimination; e ri — am, and the martyr Charles " One knighted Blackinore, and one pensioned Charles, And Prince Albert, by presiding at the society, and lend ing it the sanction of his name, had acknowledged that the claims of suffering merit were so great as to require for o—mu many n h ey e a e r ee claimst alln m t i h t t t oe e epe eases public ot h hs i al : thy support were ew a ab b se l e ft oh t re e o their relief the assistance of an institution like this—(hear) examinea them.b sol te ifor One on ms secrecy h °its t f oeum l i d t preser ved with . , r e h g a a d r t c hh l aa t tt o i raeomo those whom auur sot) f tom ogtehniiiatuisnswt institution, relieved. It was t his fellow-men as having received its n pn 000 tem porary slight a nr.y op r marked esadvantagesupressure, among assistance, and that the circumstance of relief having been administered to him could be.tome known only by his own free will. He believed that the only case in which that cir cumstance had become known was that of Chateaubriand, who, while he resided in this country as the Ambassador of F ra nce, had had the magnanimity to say that, as man, he had received benefactions from this society. Th at case had, therefore, become known to the world in a man ner which redounded highly to the honour of him who had made the avowal, He would suggest to the committee whether it would not be desirable that one, of the persons a future anniversary who asked to occupy the chair at . de over ou, re who had experienced the benefit of the society should be might be able to say—" I, who now prem. l _ y ,(1.1 es." ear, ceived your bounty durin g my early stru institution, to in paying a tribute of honour to this great which _ r which he thought he might apply those lines D • hear.) On these grounds he hoped they would join him' Johnson had applied to an individual : " In misery's darkest caverns known, _ • _ ' Its weak help is ever nigh, Where hopeless anguish pours his groan, Aud lonely want retires to die." They might remember that Boswell said that the last line had been originally written by Dr. Johnson in a different manner. It stood thus : " And labour steals an hour to die." He doubted whether the line, as it stood at first, did not more feelingly express the hardships endured in the pre sent age of pressing competition, which claimed almost the last hours of life for an effort of labour—intellectual labour being certainly no exception to the general remark. He was convinced, by their presence, of their sympathy with the objects of the institution, and he hoped that they would join with him in wishing " Prosperity to the Lite rary Fund." (Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with great applause. The Treasurer then announced that grants to the amount of 1,4901. had been distributed during the last year among 47 persons—of whom 31 were gentlemen, and 16 were ladies, and read a long list of donations, includ ing those of 100 guineas from her Majesty (17th year), 20 guineas from the Chairman (4th donation), and 10 guineas tram the Duke of Somerset, the Earl of Ellenborough, the Earl of Ellesmere, Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Hallam, Etc. Lord STANLEY, in proposing the health of the chairman, said that his noble friend had now been before the public for more than a quarter of a century, and had passed a large portion of that time in the noblest school of politics which existed in the world—the House of Commons. In that assembly he had earned no small degree of credit and distinction; but, although he was qualified to have risen to the highest eminence as a politician, he had always pre ferred to consider literature as his profession. He fully concurred in all that his noble friend had said with regard to the relation between literature and politics ; and he might have added, as a striking testimony of the honour in which literature wash now held among politicians, that the leaders of the three great political parties of the day were not merely men of literary sympathies and tastes, but had themselves been authors. Lord John Russell was not only an author, but a historian. Mr. Gladstone was responsible for the expenditure of a good deal of the income of publishers, and the early triumphs and reputation of Mr. Disraeli had been gained in literature. (Cheers.) His noble friend's " History of England" had acquired a stand ard place in our literature, and had received the sanction of universal approbation, for not only, in the phrase of book sellers' advertisements, was it "a book which no library could be without," but, what was a surer test of literary merit, it, was very often taken down from the shelves of libraries—(hear)—and, although it had not been published in a form which multiplied readers from thousands to hun dreds of thousands, yet it was one of those works which was the most thumbed by the hard hands of operatives in the pui;lic libraries of the great towns of England. It would al ways be a book of reference, and approached as near to political impartiality as he believed any history could do. His noble friend had published volumes of historical works ; ho had been an active literary reviewer, and for many years an active member of Parliament, and was therefore entitled to credit for more than a common share of industry, even in this industrious country. (Cheers.) He had laboured thus perseveringly in order to obtain that honourable reputation which followed the successful exer cise of intellect. (Cheers.) He concluded by proposing " The health of the Chairman." The CHAIRMAN, who was loudly applauded, in returning thanks, announced that the Marquis of NormanbY would take the chair at the next anniversary. ! (Cheers.) The remaining toasts were —" The "Writ... on Classical Literature, and Dr. W. Smith," by Mr. BOWEN Writers on Science and Mr. Lassell," by Sir E. PERRY ; "The Historians and Biographers and the Rev. A. Stanley," by the Rev. W. ELWIN ; " The Literature and Science of other c ountries, and the Rev.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should kn ow, 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-iodulgence, how these penalties m ay be mitigated. how the sting of their bitter ness may he remove 1, and how the evil and its con- equenc es clay be avoided, and above all, 'hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot appiy a care.

He was about to propose to them " Prosperity to the Lite rary Fund." (Cheers.) They would not expect from him what he was not qualiflato give—a detail of the conduct and management of this great institution, as such a detail would shortly be laid before them by other and more corn petentlands. For his part, he could only, as one of the public who contemplated the Literary Fund, desire to ex press his respect for its motives and his gratitude for its exertions. Among the subservient advantages of a meeting like the present might be numbered the friendly comniunion Which it established between different classes of literary men. He might observe that a poet who should live only with poets, a novelist who should live only with novelists, an his torian who should live only with historians, would acquire but a very slight and imperfect knowledge of the great field of literature in which there were so many labourers. He thought that by a friendly communion of different classes of writers in a meeting like the present, they were each of them enabled to form a juster appreciation of the merits of the rest. But it was not merely the different classes of lite rary men that were brought together at a meeting like this. It had also the advantage of eliciting the sympathy of va rious Eng lishmen nations. They saw among them to-night not merely, but men who had come from the furthest regions of the earth, all ready like themselves to testify, by taking part in this meeting, their love and their respect for literature. He saw among them the natives, he could not say of a foreign country, for that description would not apply to India, but of a distant country, who had been willing by their presence to show that no distance of place, no difference of race, could dissever those who felt a love for literature. They also numbered among them many citizens of that great commonwealth beyond the Atlantic to which we were bound by so many ties of interest as well as of language, the strength of which must in the end always overpower any temporary estrangement that might occur between the two countries. (Cheers.) As regarded the United States, we might say, not merely that their literature and our own were kindred and allied, but that in many respects they were one and the same, for he believed he was not wrong in asserting that an accomplished Ameri can would take as much pride in the renown of Shaksn ere and of Milton, and would consider them as much a mark of his national greatness, as we did ourselves, and, even if we looked to those men of letters who had arisen on the other ,side of the Atlantic since the separation of the United States from this country, we should find that as much pleasure and delight had been derived from their productions upon this as upon the other side of the Atlan tic. In proof of this be need only refer to the warm re ception which only last year had been given with so much reason to the illustrious Thackeray; and he need only ask, if a single Englishman who now heard him had not derived gratification from reading the admirable pictures of Eng lish life contained in the writings of Washington Irving ? Although an American by birth and by family, he had yet imbued himself with many European scenes, and he (the chairman) remembered him with much pleasure as his friend and fellow traveller in Spain. He thought it was a great advantage that these-meetings should give an oppor , tunity of union to those who were no strangers to each other in feeling, and who only desired to become better acquainted with each other in order to increase their mutual friendship and regard. (Hear, hear.) But he thought this meeting was also important from the encouragement which it must hold out to those younger men who had just entered upon the field of literature. He did not mean that that encou ragement was derived from any expectation that they might have of hereafter deriving benefit from this society. No, those were not the feelings of young and ardent minds ; no young men began their career expecting teat their hopes would not be fulfilled, but many who had commenced their career in buoyancy and hope might have occasion, before they closed it, to appeal, not in vain to this institution. The encouragement, however, to which he had cdverted was of a different kind. It must be an en couragement to them to see, as might continually be seen at these annual meetings, men who had attained to great eminence in various professions and walks of life, come for ward and express the delight and gratification which, in the midst of their pursuits, they had derived from the study of literature. It must be an encouragement to young men of letters to see some of the most eminent men of every profession in this country brought together by theit love for that study, for it was certainly a remark able and an animating feet that we might point to some of the most learned persons, to some of those who had attained the greatest eminence in this country, as men who, apart from their professional distinction, had achieved great renown in literature. (Hear, hear.) If we looked through the learned professions at this mo ment, we found that there were in the present age no physicians more successful than Sir H. Halford and Sir H. Holland, the former of whom was so distin guished by - a taste for composition in the Latin lan guage, while the latter excelled not in one, but in many branches of literary attainment. If we looked to the law, he need do no more than name such men as Lord Brougham and Lord. Campbell; he need do no more than appeal to the name of that eminent man, who' only three years ago was presiding in this assembly, and whose loss we had now to mourn—need he supply what their thoughts were anticipating—need he mention the name of Tal fourd—(lowl cheers)—apart from whose - vell-earned pro fessional renown, there never was a man who was snore sincerely, more devotedly, more completely attached to the cause of literature? (Cheers.) Then, if we looked to the church, it might be said that eminence iu literature had not, any more than the study of theology, proved any bar to the well-earned professional distinction of the Dean of St . Paul's and of the Dean of Westmin ster ; and if we looked to the higher ranks of the church, we should also find that in them literature was most worthily rep'esented by such men as Bishop Thirlwall and Archbishop Whately. (Hear, hear.) He therefore thought we might be proud of a distinction in literature when it was shared by so many eminent men of the various learned professions ; but if wo now looked to politicians we should arrive at the same result. The 22d annual meeting of tails association was held yes There were, indeed, in politics, some m en who- terday at the rooms in Duke-street, St. James's—Lord could read nothing but blue-books—(a laugh)—who looked Dudley Stuart, as usual, presiding. Among those present down on literature with contempt ; some men such as had been so well described by Goldsmith iu his p la y of were, the Earls of Harrowby and Harrin g ton, the Marquis the "Good-natured Man" under the character of M r.

Shortly after eight o'clock the chair was taken by J. George, Esq. This society owes its origin and success to the following facts, in connection with freehold land, viz., the strong desire to possess land manifested by all classes of people in this country. The increasing value of land, and the profits realised by it, and the unequalled security it affords. The political rights connected with the, possession of freehold land of the value of 40 s. par annum, and the difficulty of obtaining small plots unless a much higher price is paid than it can bo obtained for in larger quantities ; also, the heavy regal expenses equal to the cost of the land—and the impossibility of providing against nuisances and date. rioration of the property—in any other way than by such machinery as these societies employ. Each member on en tering the society, takes one or more shares, upon each of which he pays an entrance fee of is., and subscriptions at the rate of one shilling per share per week, or the shares can be completed in one payment of 301., in which case interest at the rate of 51. Bs. 4d. is allowed. The plan adopted by this society may be illustrated by the following example, supposing a small estate to have been purchased, the title to which is examiued and found to be good. loi the first place it is laid out, the ditches and hedges are re moved, and the road and drains made ; when all this is• done and the expenses ascertained, it is found that the land to be divided consists of 10 acres, and that the cost is 3,0001., or 3001. per acre. This is then eivided into 100 plots of the value of 301. each, which would give to each plot a frontage of 30 feet, and a depth of about , 150 facquire ceet. Th u e ofere are the re e theplot ways by land which a member can ; the first by ' completing his share, the second by a share drawn in the ballot, and the third by purchasing the ballet right of another membei who does not wish to choose land. In the first case the member secures the right to choose on any of the estates after those who have previously acquired the right have had the opportunity to choose, and the land will at once he conveyed to him and his heirs for ever. In the other case, the rights of choice are exercised in the order in which the shares are drawn. The land is mortgaged to the society, and the member pays the principal and interest by instalments of ss. per month. The usual routine business being transacted, A discussion arose upon the construction of the 40th rule of the society, respecting withdrawals, in which the Chair man, Mr. Gould, Mr. Kintrea, awl the Secretary, Mr. Knight, took pert. It was eventually arranged that the subject should be brought under the consideration of the executive committee. The CHAIRMAN then said, this society had, in holding their meeting iu the present part of London, broken up new ground. They had hitherto confined themselves to the City or else they had crossed the water, and the success that had attended the experiment he felt would be greatly to fur ther the interests and prosperite of the society. (Cheers.) A society, to stand well with the public, must be open as the day ; and the oftener public attention was called to such a society as the Houle Counties and Metropolitan Freehold Laud Society, the more it would tend to i, s suc cess. Politics were totally disregarded by the directors of the Home Counties. (Cheers.) o,her societies had started with a direct p lit.cal tendency, and had experienced great success ; an I if this society had not advanced so rapidly as those, it had advanced as well. (Cheers.) The man who mad.: up his mind to save his shillings and six pences was the man they wa nted. (Hear, hear.) He felt ' he need not dwell upon the principles of freehold land so cieties. Tuey all knew perfectly well that land was pur chased wholesale and retailed at the wholesale price--the price of each share including the cost of con veya t nce and all other legal charges. To t he working man his society offered great induceme nts. Nothing was so ready of en trance, nothing was so secure, there was no fines, no pennies. (Cheers.) Yet how many, L:lw few, he should rather say, bull had inves em br a ced the benefits held out to them. A man it in a has to make up his mind to save his money, and t society similar to this, and he immediately attains a pod. tion equal to that of the (Louo and with them he could say, "lam a freeholder." d cheers.) The society's estate at Wimbledon Park would soon be allotted, and, when they took possession of their fine estate, immediately in proximity to that of the a ristocracy, what surprise would be created by m en who merely p aid their shillin g a week . (Laughter.) Ile advised all who were so fortunate as to hold rits to wait four or five years, they would then get a price double what they gave, and in ten years to double that. The society at present held two beautiful estates, and the directors had determined to purchase nothing but first-rate building land --they would not purchase fields that may be swa mped, but land upon which substantial houses may be built. (Cheers). Mr. KINTREA said he did not know whether it was in tended to go directly to the ballot, or to pass a resolution a pproving of the objects of the society. He knew that the society was perfectly honest, sound, and bona fide. (Cheers.) With the permission of the chairman, he should feel great pleasure in moving a resolution to the effect he had stated. The motion having been seconded, The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was to the effect that the meeting highly approved, and pledged itself to support the society, and declared it carried. unani mously. Mr. DURHAM, a director, said it was not his intention to take up more than a few moments of the time of the meeting. It had escaped the chairmen to announce that the society had come to the determination not to purchase land unless it was freely accessible by railway. (Cheers.) The chairman had said that members of freehold land societies were good looking people. (Laughter.) This he also happened to know, that they were equally well bee hayed. (Laughter and cheers.) In Birmingham, where freehold land societies had first started, there had been a saving of 3,0001. in the police rate, and that they did with 102 policemen less than they formally did. (Loud cheers.) Many a drunkard who had been reclaimed through the ins strumentality of societies like the present, had now attained a standing and position that ho least expected. He be lieved that a man who determined to save his money, and invest it iu a freehold land society, became both a better and a wiser man. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose and sai d that the secrnet o f s ary s w ould feel great pleasure in answ erin g the questio any gentleman. tlemen had a Mr. KNIGHT (the secretary) said as no ge l le that the question to put, he might very fairly contc.ouut to r all pre. proceedings this evening had given s atsfac 1 sent.
