"' . . r• SECOND EDITION. .... ' l4- ' bVITIVITI _)l,tlt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1844, In an address delivered last week to the grand jury of the county of Suffolk, Baron ALDERSON made the following remarks, which we quote for the purpose of offering a few comments on them :—" In a neigh bouring county which I passed through on the cir cuit this time," observed his Lordship, " I had, what lam afraid I shall not have here—a day of rest; and I went out into the country and had the pleasure of seeing a match of cricket, in which a Noble Earl, the Lord-Lieutenant of his county, was playing with the tradesmen, the labourers, and all around him ; and I believe he lost no respect from that course ; they loved him better, but they did not respect him less. I believe that if the nobility and gentry associated more with the lower classes of society, the kingdom of England would be in a far safer, and society in a far sounder, condition. I wish I could put it into the minds of all to think so, because I am persuaded it is true." We cordially concur in the justice of the above reflections, and are pleased to find that Baron ALDERSON hes not thought it beneath his official dignity to draw public attention to the fact that a nobleman high in rank was detected by him the other day playing a game of cricket—that manly old English pastime—with the humbler classes of his neighbourhood. The circumstance, though an appa rently trivial, is in reality an important, one, ex hibiting, as it does, a kindly and healthy feeling on the part of the Noble Earl in question, which if it were gen era ll y f o ll owe d up b y t h e hi g h er orders o f society, would soon work a most beneficial revolution in the sentiments of the peasantry, who, if they now are—as is undoubtedly the fact—a prey to sullen, ill disguised discontent, are so , principally because they find themselves neglected b y those who once were, and ought always t o have continued t o friends and protectors. The aristocracy and gentry of this country have much, very much in their power, Wealth is theirs and station, together with the im mense moral influence that these advantages, when turned to a proper account, can always command ; but if they will not make a right use of this influence, but will persist in expending their wealth, not to benefit their dependents, but to annoy and imp over i s h them, by filching from them from time to time p arce l s of their common-lands, and shutting up the field paths over which they have for years been taught to consider they have a right of way ; if, moreover, they will Persist in making their station felt, solely by adopting a system of haughty, jealous, exclusive ness and isolation ;—if, we say, our nobility and gentry will persevere in this offensive course of pro. seeding, what can they expect but that those who should loolF up to them with respect and deference, will regard-them with distrust and aversion, and • become daily more and more alienated from them? , The English peasantry were once a fine, noble, simple, independent arse; and still would be so—for with all their faults the elements of good preponderate in their character—were they but treated with proper consideration and courtesy by their superiors; but in far too many cases their only portion is neglect ; those who should keep a kindly and watchful eye over their interests, never trouble their heads about the matter; and the consequence is that feelings of bitter discon tent, all the deeper from being stifled, are slowly but surely engendered in the min& of the peasantry, and in this situation, their reason perverted by their pas sions, they fall an easy prey to the inflammatory arts of designing demagogues, who prevail on them to espouse the wild principles of the Charter as being the readiest means by which they may work out their own redemption, and bring their negligent superiors to something like a sense of justice and consideration. It is the fashion now-a-days to attribute all the vices of the lower orders to their poverty, and many touch ing, clap-trap speeches, are annually made in Parlia ment on this tempting theme ; but it is not so much their poverty—for poor they have always been, and poor in the very nature of things they must still con tinue to be—that is the cause of their present sullen ' ness and dissatisfaction, as the aristocratic hauteur with which they are far too often treated by those who should know better than to indulge in such ab surd airs of superiority, which are the unerring indi cations of a petty and narrow mind. Treat the poor and the lowly with kindness and forbearance; take a direct personal interest in their humble wants and wishes; sympathise in their mirth, and be a friend to them in their sorrows ; exchange the haughty glance for the winning smile of courtesy ;—in a word, convince them by acts, as well as words, that you feel that they, like yourself, belong to the great family of human nature ;—pursue this course of conduct to wards the lower orders, and you will do more to re concile them to their position, elevate them in the social scale, and imbue them with principles of orde' and subordination, than if you were to remit taxes by the score, and surrender to them uncondition ally the entire five points of the Charter. Poverty may be borne, and borne too, without a murmur, for it the lot of the majority of every kingdom in the world ; but it is difficult—a proud and generous mind finds it impossible —to bear unrepiningly the con tempt, indifference, and supercilious exclusiveness of those who are placed in authority over us from nc merit of their own, but merely by the accidents of birth and luck ! Government has just received news from Mr. HAY. The EMPEROR, he states, has granted to France and Spain the just satisfaction which they have demanded. Mr. HAT is expected at Tangiers to-morrow evening. The French fleet is at this moment preparing to sail from Tangiers for Gibraltar." This intelligence had afforded great satisfaction to the friends of peace, as the return of the French fleet from Tangiers led to the belief that the Emperor of Monocco had accepted the ultimatum of the Government. Other parties, however, take a different view, and believe that the dilatory conduct of the Moorish Government and its inability to restrain or expel ABD - EL-KADEZ will lead still to serious consequences. Another cause of uneasiness has arisen from the departure of three ships of the line from Toulon, mentioned yes terday. It was generally believed their destination was Tangiers, but it appears from a Government paper, the Globe, that Admiral PARSEVAL, who com mands the squadron, has been ordered to direct his course to Tunis to watch the movements of a Turkish fleet, consisting of seven ships of the line and four frigates. According to this authority the French are resolved to protect Tunis. The Toulonnais of the Bth also states that the Marengo, a ship of the line, had received orders to join the squadron, and that its destination was the coast of Tunis. What with the affair of Morocco, the restless ADB - EL-KADER, and this new cause of quarrel, the French have quite enough en their hands in the Mediterranean. The following is the article in the Globe referred to : " It is possible that by this time a second division of the French fleet is giving as honourable an example of firmness as that under the Prince de Joinville. The journals some time since mentioned that a Turkish fleet had left th• Dardanelles on a cruise, but since that time they have been lost sight of. This fleet, composed of seven sail of the line and four frigates, it appears, had made their appearance on the coast of Syria. When there, the Capitan Pacha summoned all the pilots on board his vessel, and inquired in what time they could take his fleet before Tunis, and on what points of that coast it would be possible to effect a landing of troops. A short time after this consultation the fleet left the coast of Syria, bearing away to the westward. The Porte has for a long time entertained a wish to dispos sess the Bey of Tunis, and to substitute for that inde pendent sovereignty a Pacha appointed from Constanti nople. France, on her side, has loudly expressed her intention to support the Bey of Tunis, and to prevent Turkey from establishing herself on the frontiers of Algeria. Hitherto the Porte has never dared to carry her plans into execution, but may at length have decided on it, thinking to take advantage of our dispute with Morocco. If such has been the idea of Turkey, she will .again have reckoned without her host. The French Government, informed by telegraph of the departure of the Turkish fleet from the coast of Syria, sent orders fur ,bur ships of the line to sail from Toulon, under the command of Admiral Parseval-Deschanes, to cruise be fore Tunis, and await the arrival of the Turkish squa dron. The instructions given to the Admiral are in con formity with the constant policy of France; she will op pose the landing of any Turkish troops, and any attempt Jf the Capitan Pacha against the Bey of Tunis. In the event of the Turkish fleet making its appearance there, the French Admiral is ordered to make known his in structions to the Capitan Pacha; to order him to keep off from the coast; and, if he refuses, to bring him to ac tion immediately. This may probably turn out to be a false alarm; but should it be so, France will not the less have been at the post marked out for her by her policy; And should the Capitan Pacha attempt to carry into ef fect the long-entertained idea of the Porte with regard to Tunis, we doubt not that Admiral Parseval will do ho nour to the French name, although he has only four sa of the line against seven and four frigates." Though quiet and apparently inactive, the Irisl Repeal agitators are evidently on the alert, watching the progress of events, and omitting no opportunit3 that may present itself, of furthering their darling scheme of domestic legislation. O'CormEnn's ready intelligent, and energetic spirit influences all theh proceedings, and presides over all their discussions. though the man himself is safe lodged withix, the four walls of the Richmond Penitentiary At the last weekly meeting, for instance, o the Dublin Repeal Association, a motion wa , made and agreed to, having for its ob ject the extension of Repeal Reading rooms throughout the country. This motion, which fron its ingenious character, would seem to have beer suggested by the Liberator, will, if carried fully into effect, give a greater impetus to the cause than even the monster-meetings; there will to be sure be less noisy demonstrations, and the results will not be sc immediately perceptible; but not one of the proposed Reading-rooms but will become a school of quiet, de termined agitation, where men will be in the constant habit of resorting, to read all that may be written from time to time on the subject of the Repeal crotchet, to debate the question with each other, and confirm each other's convictions. It will be impossible for any authority, no mattes how stern and arbitrary it may be, tc interfere with a pacific system of agitation like this Power will be deprived of every pretext for interposh tion, and thus the evil—for the continuous, systematic agitation of Repeal is an evil—will run its course un checked, assuming daily a more alarming aspect. How much of this might have been avoided, had Sir ROBERT PEEL but taken a hint from experience, and learned the valuable lesson to be wise at the fitting season ! There was a time—and that not so long since—when the slightest show of conciliation, if worthily followed up by acts, would have all but neutralised the Repeal question, and caused it to be regarded by the majority of thinking people on both aides the channel as the mere clamour of a faction, instead of the stern demand of a nation. But Ministers hesitated, and tampered, and dallied wit', their obvious duty, keeping the mind of Ireland in s The same journal contains a few remarks relative to the empire ;of Morocco, and the importance of its integrity to England. "The position of Eng land," it says, " was a very difficult one, and that it required, in the first place, all the justice which was on the side of France, and afterwards all the confi dence of the British Government in the good faith of mrs, to satisfy it either with the part we played in the game, or the part England herself played. Mo rocco is evidently the dependent of England, who maintains and protects it. England can only hold Gibraltar as long as no great power has possession of the coast of Morocco and Tangiers. Place French cannon on the African coast of the straits, and the importance of Gibraltar will diminish one-half. England is, therefore, obliged to maintain the Islam ism of Tangiers, in order not to hare France there, Is she is obliged to maintain Constantinople, in order to prevent Russia from taking it." The French Funds were rather . more firm on Monday. TUE BOURSE-MONDAY, AI7GUST 12. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

We congratulate them on their tardy demonstration of good-will towards Ireland, but we are by no means confident as to the results.

At any rate, however, the experiment is worth making, and we most devoutly hope that we may be mistaken in our d oubts of the issue. And here, while on the subject'of Repeal, we may observe that the Association has just issued an Address to her MAJESTY, in which occur the following remarks :—" In the British Par liament Irish interests are neglected, Irish feelings find no sympathy, Irish opinion possesses no weight; and the fruit of British legislation for Ireland has been the prostration of all those resources, moral and material, which can give dignity, prosperity, and contentment, to a nation." The experience of the four last Parliamentary sessions proves that there is too much truth in these observations, for during all that period--though the fruitful subject of her undeniable grievances has been often discussed an d deplored with sincerity by the Whigs, with hollow mockery by the Tories—what real, substantial, com prehensive boon has been conferred on Ireland ? All that she has yet obtained from Government has been an Arms Bill, of a more stringent and insulting character than ever, together with a formal declara tion that her bloated sinecure Church Establishment stands is need of no Reform, and shall receive none ! The conclusion of the Association's Address to the QUEEN—which we may state, by-the -bye, is penned in a temperate, though energetic, strain-- is not a little curious, for her Majesty is ac tually implored to assist the endeavours of the FALMOUTH, AUGUST 13.—8 y the Danish schooner Odin, Captain Engers, we have advices from Buenos Ayres of June 13.

INTERESTING TRAIT OP Louis PHILIPPE.—We extract the following paragraph, relating to his Majesty Louis Philippe, from the Voss Gazette, a Swedish journal :—" On the 2d Vice-Consul Burk celebrated the 82d anniversary of his birthday. On the same day he received a letter from the King of the French. written with his own hand, accompany a gold medal, bearing on one aide the profile of his Majesty, and on the other the following inscription Given by King Louis Philippe to M. C. Burk, as a memorial of the hos pitality received at Hamaierfest, in August, 1795." The letter, which was dated at Neuilly, Juno 6th, is in these terms :---• It is always agreeable to me to find that the traveller Muller has not been forgotten in a country which he visited in simple guise, and unknown ; and I always recal with pleasure this journey to my mind. Among my recollections, I give the first place to the hos pitality so frankly and cordially granted me, a stranger, throughout Norway, and particularly in Norland and Finmark ; and at this moment, when a lapse of 49 years since I made this journey into Norway has left me but few of my old hosts remaining, it is gratifying to me to be able to express to all, in your person, what grateful feelings I still entertain."

It is a bright and truly original conception, this supplication to the QUEEN, that she will be kind enough to falsify her pledge, eat up her own words, forswear her prin ciples, and turn Repealer ! We have received Madrid journals of the 6th instant. If we are to believe a Government paper, the Heraldo, a most extensive and dangerous plot was on the eve of breaking out when the arrests took place in the capital, and at Barcelona. It infers that the prime instigators are ESPARTERO and OLOZAGA. " There is no deceiving ourseves about it," says that paper, "if we believe the information received from all parts of Spain, and, especially from foreign coun tries, the plot which has just failed at Madrid had most extensive ramifications, and was but a part of a general plan, at the head of which was a pernicious personage, whom the blindness of his friends pretended to raise to the highest station. That personage, august among his adherents, and, asso- Iciated, after protracted negotiation with his most inveterate enemy, directed these revolutionary at tempts, and was preparing to bring on the horrors of another war—a project in which he was supported by his alliance with other unlawful interests, as well as by the active operation and abundant money both within and without Spain."

" Who riots may read" The Augsburg Gazette says that the Emperor of Russia has addressed an energetic note to the Porte, complaining that the Turkish Government allowed the sale of arms to the Circassian:, through agents esta blished at Constantinople. The general junta of the Basque Provinces, in its sittings of the 2d instant, unanimously claimed the full and entire re-establishment of the Pueros. It decided that a committee composed of seven members out of every district, making forty-two in all, shall be charged to examine the question and give its advice to the junta. The Company formed for working the line of railroad from Paris to Strasburgh, the Council of Administra tion of which had become incomplete by the resignation of Count Mold and M. Ganneron, has just been re-or ganised, and Gen. Cubares has accepted the office of President. The Baroness de Pignol lost her life a few nights ago in a melancholy manner. Her dress caught fire from coming in contact with a candle, and though prompt as sisfanee was given, she shortly after expired. A frightful accident occurred on Thursday at Mont martre, by the falling in of one of the quarries. One man was killed on the spot, another died before reaching the hospital, and three others were seriously injured, amongst whom is M. Richer, the proprietor of the quarry. A man named Anselme Perrin, who was condemned about fire months since for the murder of an individual named Simod Devaux, was executed at Lyons on Thurs day. He showed great firmness to the last. A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 27th ult., given in the Journal de Francfort, states that the rains which have fallen almost incessantly during the last month have done considerable damage to the harvest. The crops throughout the whole empire had been very promising, but since the month of May there appeared in some dis tricts of the Transcaucasian provinces, and in the Cri mea, swarms of locusts, which did much injury both to the meadows and to the corn-fields. V.% Upon twenty-four railroads in Germany, there were carried, during June last, 1,150,550 passengers, and the receipts amounted to 2,723,129 f. LAW AND POLICE. At the Wells assizes a man of the name of Fisher was convicted of the murder of his wife, and ordered for execution. We remember no other assizes when so many persons were found guilty of murder. The Lancaster assizes commenced on the 12th. There are 15 causes entered for trial. The calendar contains the names of 19 prisoners, of whom one stands charged with murder, one with rape, two with manslaughter, three with burglary, one with feloniously shooting, and one with bigamy. At Monmouth assizes, which commenced on the same day, there are 31 prisoners for trial, two of whom are charged with the widely-extending crime of arson, and five with a most horrible outrage on a married woman. On the civil side there are eight causes for trial, but none of them are likely to possess any interest, except to the parties concerned. At the Thames Police-court, William Tipler, the cap tain of a Ware barge of sixty tons burden, was charged before Mr. Broderip with committing an assault on James Richard Wood, a waterman, employed as col lector on board the Waterman No. 12, a steam-vessel running between the Adelphi-pier and Woolwich. The charge was proved, when Mr. Broderip said he should be wanting in his duty to the public if he did not mark this case with a severe fine, and he sentenced the defen dant to pay a fine of 51. for the assault, or be imprisoned for two months. A man named Dixie, the owner and driver of a hack_ ney carriage, plying opposite the Greenwich railway ter minus, appeared at Greenwich police-court, to a sum mons at the instance of Mr. Ffinch, chief clerk at this office, for refusing to take a fare, and ordered to pay a fine of 40e. and costs, and in default to fourteen day s ' imprisonment. M r . Ffinch prayed the magistrate to remit the fine in the present instance, his object being to convince the defendant of the illegality of his conduct, as well as for the guidance of other drivers, who, he un derstood, had resolved upon pursuing a similar course. Mr. Traill said he would respite the fine during six months, if the defendant did not offend during that time, and would not call for its enforcement afterwards. COURT -- PASHIONABI.B. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston left Carlton House-terrace on Tuesday afternoon, and proceeded by railway to Dover, where the Noble Viscount and Vis countess were to sleep last night and embark there for Ostend. They purpose visiting the spas in the lower part of Germany, and then repair to Ischl, after which they go to Vienna for a month. The Duke of Buccleuch arrived at Montagu House on Tuesday from Leamington, where, in company with his Duchess, he has been attending the last moments of his sister, Lady Anne Scott. The Duchess will leave Leamington this day for Scotland. The Duke of Rutland was expected to leave Belvoir Castle on Tuesday for his shooting box at Longshawe, where a small party of his Grace's friends were invited to shoot during the present week. The Duke of Devonshire has arrived at Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire, where his Grace has gone for the grouse shooting. His Grace has a party of friends staying with him. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield have arrived at Chesterfield House, from Brighton.

The Earl of Haddington, Admiral Sir George Cock burn, G.C.8., First Naval Lord, and Vice Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, G.C.H., one of the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, are expected to embark in the Black Eagle this day, and proceed to visit the dockyards at Sheerness, Chatham, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Pembroke. Between one and two o'clock on Tuesday Colonel Sir R. Sale, G.C.8., the hero of Jellalabad and Affghan, ar rived at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, on a visit to Lord Bloomfield; and his Lordship, with the Chevalier Bun sen and Captain Meynell, proceeded to the residence of Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, to welcome the brave Colonel of the 13th Regiment of Foot. Most of the provincial papers complain of the continued heavy falls of rain. It does not appear, however, that it has injured the crops much. Some returns on the subject of ecclesiastical courts have just been printed. It appears from an annexed summary of the particulars therein contained, that the gross total receipts of the judges and officers of the ecclesiastical courts amount, in the dioceses of England, to 101,171/. ; ii those of Wales, to 4,882/. ; and in those of Ireland, to 14,4591; making a grand total amounting to 120,513/. The nett receipts are 101,210/. On Tuesday the sale of books forming the third por tion of the library of the late Duke of Sussex was re sumed. The number of lots disposed of were 253. A considerable portion of these were books relative to Charles I. and 11., which sold at remarkably low prices. The proceeds of the two days' sale exceed 5101. THE GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN SMITH AND SIM MONDS.—This exciting match, between Smith (the Chequer Lad) and Simmonds (of Birmingham), which has for a long time been pending, was fixed to come off yesterday. The men were matched for 1001. a side, and from the heavy stakes pending, and the well-known merit of the men, the greatest anxiety was created. Arrrangements were made for the fight to come off half way between Leeds and London, for the convenience of the pugilists' respective friends. Melton Mowbray was the loeality fixed; and on Monday evening an immense number of the fancy left London by railway, and crowds of persons from Birmingham and Leeds were, early yesterday, near the supposed scene of action ; and on no occasion were so many spectators ever known at a pugilistic contest. The preliminaries were arranged, and the contest was about to be opened, when the local magistrates, with a strong body of police, interfered, and the parties who were to take the most prominent part on this occasion were compelled to make their escape as speedily as psssible; and the great multitude of persons assembled were compelled to retire to their respective homes, much disappointed and discomfited, all of whom had travelled a great distance, and many having very heavy bets on the fight. CURIOUS FACT.—The best moral testimony can be given for the truth of the following statement, if re quired :—During the early part of last spring, a lady detected a common garden pea in a hen egg which she was eating at her breakfast. It occurred to a gentle omrannot who thi w s was o p a re w s a e s nt r a a t pa t b h l e e o ti f m r e e , g t o o ta a t s i c o e g r t tain whether been thus subjected to the process of digestioanft,earnhdasvuinbg flvtii followed, hoee verdure d U epur e re ntly carried into the egg-bag or ovid va : n c hp t drico o hb f atb t hl h fowl ; and, strange to say, the trial was successful, for question, o a antn,wdcoefronel itaai gitnei, not n after agn tfhfor fruit havingipte accident , wl b a sfewe broken , no u p ld an hb t a d in a com mon conse quently the conclusion of this interesting experiment was unhappily presented.--Glasgow Argus. POIZEIGN. The Duke de Nemours, attended by his staff, visited the citadel of Besancon on the Bth. After remaining there some hours, inspecting the building in all its parts, his Royal Highness returned to the Prefecture to a dejeuner, to which all the officers who had accompanied him were invited. The Prince afterwards proceeded to the Cathedral, where divine service was performed by the Archbishop. His Royal Highness gave a grand `dinner in the evening to the authorities and principal inhabitants, of the place, and after dinner proceeded to a ball, given in honour of his ♦isit, at the theatre. He was received at the entrance by the Mayor and the Municipal Council. lipards of 3,0(0 tickets had been issued, and the evening passed off with great eclat. The Journal des Chemins de Fir states that the shares in the line of railroad in the Centre are subscribed for. Out of the capital of thirty-two millions sixteen have been taken in England, ten in France, and six in Germany. A letter from Boulogne-ear-Mer says:—" The affair of our railway is at length brought to a successful ter mination. The Company for the execution of the line from Amiens to Boulogne is definitively constituted. At its head is M. C. Laffitte, and with. him are associated MM. Baxendale, L. Cubitt, and Tyndale, Mr. T. Devaux, of London, M. Calley de St. Paul, of Paris, and MM. A. Adam and Louis Fontaine, of Boulogne." The paragraph stating that the eldest sister of the Duke de Bordeaux had contracted a morganatic mar riage with one of the sons of the Duke de Blacas, has been contradicted in the most positive manner by the Quotidienne, the Legitimist journal. M. de Lamartine embarked at Marseilles on the 7th instant for Naples, whence he proceeds to the baths of Ischia. THIS DAY'S NEWS. AFFAIRS OF OTAHEITE , HONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NE WS.

In addition to the general details of the news brought by the Hibernia steamer, and inserted in another column, wel may add the following, which is of a mercantile nature, from New York. " We have recently been made very heavy debtors to Europeans by the sales of stocks in this country. It is impossible to tell to what extent these operations have been carried, but the amount sold is very large, These must be paid for as well as merchandise, the value of which goes to swell our indebtedness. The public mind may as well be prepared now as at,any other time for the movement of the precious metals across the Atlantic ; any sudden shipment of a very large amount would create a panic and a crush that would be attended with heavy losses. The sa f es t course to a d opt is, to become satisfied ' that nothing can stop shipments now—the thing has gone too far ; but let every one arrange his business so as to stop the tide as soon as possible. By restricting our importations--our exports will not decline, for foreign nations now only take of us what they cannot do without —the balance of trade will soon come round in our fa vour, so that the exchanges can regulate it." The crops in the United States are very abundant, if the markets here only afford an opening ; and as re gards the State bonds being sent over there f or sa l e , now that the prospe c t s o f the defaultin g States are better, and prices may rise, we should be glad to see the Eng lish holders get rid of them on the other side of the At lantic whenever they can come out tolerably well. Great sacrifices we could at this time recommend, as those who have so long waited may as well have the benefit of the improving prospects. From Canada we learn that there were abundant crops of grain.

MEETING OF THE LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY IN EXETER -HALL.--(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the London Missionary Society took place this morning in the large room at Exeter Hall ; the rain poured in torrents all the morning; but, not withstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, the large hall was more than three-fourths filled before the commencement of the proceedings. At twelve o'clock, FaEneascs. SMITII, Esq., the Chairman of the Society, took the chair. He was accompanied into the hall by Mr. Pritchard, the British Consul at Otaheite, who took his seat at the right of the chair. The Rev. Mr. TRODEY, of Cambridge, opened the meeting by prayer. The ChAIRMAN then stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of expressing the sympathy of the Society with their missionaries at Otaheite, with the missionary churches there, with the Queen of Otaheite, and with those natives who had been driven from their homes to seek refuge in the moun tains.—(Hear, hear.) A dark cloud was resting on the missions of Otaheite, which it was beyond the power of man to penetrate—but their comfort was that the Judge of the whole earth would do right.— (Cheers.) The missionary labours at Otaheite were suspended, the churches were dispersed, and the Queen had been under the - necessity of flying from her country and taking refuge on board an English ship. These things had all been occasioned by an apparently insignificant circumstance. Four or five years ago some French Jesuits had attempted to land in Otaheite. The Queen had objected to their doing so—by stratagem they had effected their landing. Their object was to subvert the simplicity of the Gospel. The. Queen exercised the right which she possessed to order them off the Island. They left, but not a hair of their head was hurt. For this supposed insult the French demanded a compensation of 2,000 dollars—this sum was raised by some friends of the Queen and paid them. Shortly afterwards the French returned and demanded 10,000 dollars ; this was a sum which it was impossible to raise. The alternative on the occasion of the first demand, which had been complied with, was the bombardment of the principal town of the island. On the occasion of the demand of the 10,000 dollars, the alternative was the protec torate of France. The consent of the Queen had been obtained to the protectorate by stratagem. Having become protectors, the French soon declared them selves sovereigns, the Queen was deposed, and sought refuge on board an English ship of war. It was a proud thing to think that wherever the English flag floated there was a cer t a i n re f uge f or the oppressed. ' —(Cheers.) Since then the labours of the missiona ries had been interrupted, and their personal liberty had been infringed upon ; they were not permitted to go on shore if they were on board ship, or if on shore they were not permitted to leave the island. He had seen it stated in the newspapers that the Missionary Society had sent a deputation to Lord Aberdeen, and that Lord Aberdeen had stated, in his place in Par liament, that the Society had made no complaint to him whatever, and that they had stated that the liberty of the missionaries had not been infringed upon. Now that conversation had taken place before any evil had occurred, except the evil of the Protectorate, against which they had always protested as a great evil, because they knew that as long as that continued it would be impossible that peace and concord could be preserved in the island. But his Lordship had, at the very time he made that statement, two letters is his possession which showed a very different result. Those letters, which described the then existing state of things in the island, had been transmitted to Lord Aberdeen's office four or five days before, with a re quest that they might be immediately forwarded to Lord Aberdeen, as it was considered probable that questions might be put to him in the House of Lords, and that he might wish to see those letters before he replied to those questions.—(Cheers.) His Lordship's memory on that occasion had been re markably tenacious as to what had taken place a year ago, but had been perf ec tly o bli v i ous o f that which had occurred within a few days.--(Cheers.) He was sorry to mention this, for it was always his desire to show a feeling of respect for those in high places—(Cheers) —but he could not help feeling that, if the same injuries had been inflicted upon any otker community than their own, more notice would have been taken of the occurrence.—(Cheers.) The Rev. A. FREEMAN was then called on to read a statement detailing the state of Otaheite. The statement, after giving a history of the missionary labours in Otaheite and the Society Islands from the year 1797, and appealing to the testimony of naval officers, traders, and travellers of all countries, in proof of the vast improvement, moral and intellec tual, which had taken place in the inhabitants in consequence of the missionary labours, proceeds to remark that the state of those islands had attracted the attention of the ambitious and intolerant Church of Rome. Some of the priests of that Church had been sent to spy out the state of the island, but Pomare accepted them not; and she had the same right to exclude them from her territory that Louis Philippe had to demand a passport from every Englishman who set foot on the shores of France.—(Loud cheers.) Seve ral Roman Catholic priests had subsequently been to the island, but they had obtained no proselytes. Po mare had subsequently, at the command of France, repealed the law prohibiting the entry of Roman Catholic priests into the island. The Missionary So ciety did not defend it, but they would ask with what grace could France or Spain demand its abrogation while they kept up laws in their own territories in Europe equally hostile to the liberty of mankind ? The statement then detailed, at great length, the history of the establishment of the French Pro tectorate, of the subsequent dethronemeut of Queen Pomare, and of the declaration by Admiral Dupetit Thouars that Otaheite was a French colony. Pomare protested against the conduct of Dupetit Thouars, ap pealed to the King of France, and sent to the Queen of England, soliciting aid. After a lapse of three months the chiefs and people became uneasy. Queen Pomare wrote to them a letter, beseeching them to continue quiet, assuring them that aid would be sent from England, imploring them by no means to ill-treat the Frenchmen, but to follow her example and pray earnestly to God to deliver them from their trials.—(Cheers.) That letter gave such offence to the French authorities, that her personal safety was in danger, and she was obliged to seek refuge on board her Britannic Majesty's ketch Basilisk —some of the chiefs were arrested, others fled to the moun tains, and martial-law was proclaimed. It was said that a French sentinel had been struck by an un known native, and by way of reprisals the British Consul had been seized, imprisoned, and expelled the island.—(Hear, hear.) A Frenchman had attempted to seize the wife of one of the chiefs • the chief had r es i s t e d , s h ots had been fired, and the chief was killed. These facts had been communicated by the Society to Lord Aberdeen, on the 30th July and on the Ist of August. The So ciety had asked for protection for its mission aries. To whom, under martial-law could they ap peal ? What defence was left to them when the French seized the British Consul, the legitimate guardian of English interests ?—(Cheers.) They did not wish to wait until all the mischief should be done. There was no hope for the personal safety of the mission aries, but in the withdrawal of the French Pro tectorate—(Loud cheers)—and the restoration of the independence of Otaheite.—(Loud cheers.) Could not French mag nan i m it y a ff or d th i s ?—(Cheers.) They had no wish to create a misunderstanding be tween the two Governments, but it was their duty to awaken the public to the danger to which the Pro testant missionaries were exposed from the threats and schemes of those whose wisdom was not from above, but from beneath.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Dr. W. HAMILTON, of Leeds, then came forward to propose the first resolution, expressive of the sympathy of the meeting with the missionaries at Otaheite. He would not make use of any exagge rated language—he would speak of things as they were—and he was happy to say that he had found a word sufficiently powerful to express his feelings. A gross outrage had been committed.—(Vehement cheering.) The expression had been used by one in high places, and he thanked him for the word.— (Cheers.) He came there in no spirit of nationalism. He was aware that many of our own colonisation schemes could not be justified. He admitted that the Roman Catholics had as much right in Otaheite as ourselves, and if a law existed prohi biting them from landing there, he would not vin dicate that law.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) But surely the French who permit no stranger to set foot on their shores without a passport had no right to complain of it— " Quis tulerit gracchos de seditione querentes." There was something of romance connected with this beautiful island, which by the missionaries' labours had been changed from a Capreaa to a Patmos.—(Cheers.) That island was governed by a Queen who had been deposed by the French, perhaps because they would not suffer a Queen to sit on the throne of their own country. But it was not so that we read our history. Woman, who had her throne in the homestead, was equally en titled to the throne of the realm. She was to accept of French protection forsooth. Protec tion ? against whom ? Her subjects ? They loved her. The Missionaries—they were devoted to her. Her neighbours !—they were in firm alliance and friendship with her. The protection the French sought to give her was the protection which the vultures gave to the doves—the wolves to the lambs—covering and devouring them,.—(Cheers.) Was it right that that Protectorate should ever have been imposed? If it was right to accept and receive it, it was equally right now to disclaim it, on account rbC the piratical conduct and buccwaggri nv ..,.,o‘eni that and Mrs. Ch ar l es Kean have been delighting ore or e good people of Jersey with their performances.
