The maxims which passed current on the Ex change were divested of the smallest degree of morality, and were thought to enable them to perform the most nefarious deeds without being sensible of the per n i c i ous conscquence6 which resulted from them to tie world. The system of war loans led to the destruction b ot h of the body and soul of mankiml, and the present loan was an attempt to perpetuate the supremacy of the will of one man over all the inhabitants of Russia amounting, in fact, to the destruction of all the faculties which God had given us, and the conversion of man from a thinking, independent being, into a mere machine to be employed for the basest purposes, and to accom plish the objects of the worst of despots.—(Loud cheers.) The right o f assemblin q g to discuss matters of this nature h a d been uestioned, but if that thing, that journal w hi c h , 'being without con science and without heart, would as soon slander the character of one man as bespatter 'with praise that of another, falsified the real state of things, and did not enforce the principles of morality, they surely were justified in speaking to their countrymen on such occasions as the present. The leading journal had declared the truth of the maxim that property had its duties as well as rights, and he maintained that this applied to capitalists as well as to landed proprietors. He concluded' by expressing his confident belief that the time would come when transactions, private as well as public, would be held to be subject to high moral considerations. The resolution Was then put and carried, amidst loud cheers. Mr. JOSEPH STURGE, of Birmingham, in proposing the next resolution, briefly addressed the meeting, saying that he had come all the way froth Birming ham this morning, in order to be present, and assert ing his belief, with re f erence to the secur i ty o f t h e loan, that the thrones of Austria and Russia were not worth seven years' purchase.—(Cheers.) The reso lution he moved was as follows : " That in the opinion of this meeting loans for war purposes and for the maintenance of standing armies are unsound in principle and injurious to the interests of nationp." The Rev. Mr. BURNET seconded it in one of his amusing but pointed speeches, asking the meeting to make a loan to the Emperor of Russia, not of money, but of their watchfulness and vigilance to his nefa rious proceedings, which would do more good not only to him but to the world, than any amount of capital. The resolution having been supported by the Rev. Mr. RICHARDS, was put and carried. Mr. MITCHELL, who was announced as the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, expressed his great satisfac tion, as a Jew, that no Jewish capitalist had come forward to advance any portion of the loan. He believed it was in consequence of the determined expression of opinion, at the last meeting on the subject of the Austrian loan, that they had come to the determination to wash their hands of this villanous transaction.—(Applause.) A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and after three cheers for Cobden, and a similar number of groans for the Barings, the meeting 'e parated. BANK OF ENGLAND.

Prices of wheat and flour were without change, but there seemed as little desire on the part of holders to press sales of eit , ,er article as there was indisposition on the dealers' side to add to their stocks. A similar rema-k will apply to all other articles of the trade ; and, as regards Indian corn, it was held with increased firmness, and very full rates were realised. NEWBURY, JAN. 17.—Our supply of wheat tc-jay is good, and principally of fine quality. The demand for flour, both in London and westward, being extremely dull, had a very depressing effect upon our market; and some quantity remains unsold. Barley, with a moderate supply, is a very draggling trade, and late rates were barely supported. Beans, peas, and oats, although a short supply, were difficult to quit at rather reduce! rates. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JAN. 18.—The amount of business reported this week is not large ; the supply at the markt t being very indifferent, net prices must he quoted again 6d per cwt. higher, particularly for fine grocery &rite Rum is looking up, but there is very little on offer.—Bristol Mercury. EXETER, JAN. 18.—Cattle Market—The supply Wai but small, with but few dealers. Prices ruled much about the same as last week. Very prime Letf marle 9s per score; beef of good quality, 8s 3d to 81 9d, and in ferior ditto, 8s per score; barreners were worth 5s per score, and soma very f. - esh onus made about 53 Gd. Cows and calves, 7/ 103 to 13/each; butchers' calves, 53d to 6.1 per lb. The supply of sheep was was also small, large fit wethers 5d ti 5P per lb; small ditto, sp; ewes, 5d per Ib, Pork Carcases—The supply was email, with but little difference between the prices of tc-day and last week, Large coarse pork, 6s 3d to Gs 6d per score; prime medium sized ditto, 63 6d to 7s 3d; and the best small and dairy fed pork, from the letter figure up to 7s 9d per score. Pannier—Geese, 4s Gd to 6s each; turkeys, 5s 6d to 8s ditto; ducks, 4s to 5s 6d per couple; fowls, 2s 9d to 4s ditto; woodcocks, 4s to 4s 6d ditto; wild ducks, 4s to Si ditto; widgeons, 4s ditto; teal, 2s 6d ditto; barer, 2s 6d to 33 each; butter, is to Is 2d par lb; eggs, 12 for is. Corn Exchange—One o'Clock —Up to this hour business has been very dull, and the attendance of millers and factors much smaller than usual. The ruling figure for the best warranted English wheat is 53 per bushel, although in some instances a t more has bren given, ray 53 3il as the very tep price. Much surprise and disappointment was expressed by the growers at the unexpe2tid stagnancy in Mark lane on Monday, as a rise was confidently anticipated by all parties. Under these circumstances millers were only buying for immediate consumption. We heard of no transactions of foreign wheat.

THE NEW RUSSIAN LOAN. GREAT MEETING AT THE LONDON TAVERN. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition cf yesterday.) Mr. COBDEN then stood forward to address the meeting, and was received with vociferous cheering, which lasted for some moments. When order had been restored he spoke as follows:—Gentlemen, I have the honour to propose to you the first resolution, which I will read : " That the Government of Russia having proposed to in this country a loan of rive millions and a halt sterling, pr. fessecily far th e purpose o f com pl e ti ng a rr.ilrot from St. Petershurgh ti Moscow, but really to refleni.h the impsrial exchequer, exhausted by the expenses tf the war in Hungary, this 'netting is of opinion that to lend money to the Emperor of Russia for such an object would virtually be to sanc tion the deeds of violence and blood committed by him in Hungary, and to furnish him with the temptation and tee tot ans tor carrying on future schemes of aggression and conquest." —(Cheers.) I congratulate the Peace Society and the friends of peace in this country, that the Emperor of Russia has been obliged--unconsciously we must, as a matter of courtesy, suppose —to affix his name to a document which is n o t t rue, i n order to o b ta i n a l oan of five millions and a half in this country. I say the document which is signed by the Emperor of Russia contains an untruth—(Rear, hear)—and I know it to be untrue, and it is k nown to every b o d y a t S t. Petersburgh to be untrue.—(Cheers.) But I accept that untruth as the highest tribute that could be pos sibly paid to the moral poweaset-of the Peace party- in this country.—(Cheers, and some disturbance occa sioned by the crowded state of the room.) I was saying that the pretence put forth by the Emperor of Russia, that he wants this money to complete a railroadfrom Moscow to St. Pe.tershurgh, is unfounded in truth. I was in St. 'Petersburgh two years ago; at that time the rolling stock of that railway was all finished; one hundred locomotives were ready; I travelled with them on that part of the line. Thou sands of. waggons and carriages were ready, and I am told the iron is on the ground and paid for. It is the embankment that is not finished ; and looking at the martial disposition of the Emperor, and to his having so little regard to the social interests of the people of his country, I don't think the railroad will be completed for ten years to come.—(l'ear, hear.) He will spend his money like a great overgrown colossal baby on his soldiers rather than on those substantial iinprovements which could really . alone add to the power, the happiness, and the_civilization of his country.—(Cheers.) But why need I argue this matter ? Nobody believes the money is wanted for a railroad. Everybody assumes the contrary but the Russians. But I will convict them from their own ukases. They want the money in six months. Who ever heard of five million sterling being wanted for a railroad in six months ?—(Loud cheers) Some of you here, unhappily, have had experience in rail way calls.—(Laughter.) But did you ever know them come from any board cf directors so thick and fast as th e y come_ from the Emperor of Russia ? (Laughter.) 201. must be paid two days after the allotment ; 10/. must be paid on the 15th cf March, 10/. on the 15th of April, 101. on the 15th of May, 101. on the 15th of June, and the remainder on the 15th of July next—(Laughter.) Railway calls for one railway at the rate of nearly a million a month ! And, mind you, in a country where up to March no work can be done on an embankment — (Cheers)—and consequently this money is wanted for the purpose of being expended in an embankment in the months of April, May, June, "and July. Oh, I pity the mendicant Czar, who is obliged to come to U 3 with such a story.—(Cheers.) Is it not humi liating ? (Renewed cheers.) And .then, after putting forward this pretence, that the money is wanted for a railroad, after beginning his Imperial ukase, by saying it was not the truth—l presume he did not know it—(Laughter)—he winds up at last, as if doubting he would not be believed, by promising us five per cent , and that the accounts of the sums derived from this loan, and to he applied to this line of railroad, will be kept as formerly from all other state revenues and expenditure.— (Laughter.) Why, he wants if possible to open a door for even the most scrupulous of Quakers to sub scribe to his loan.—(Laughter.) It was not only not wanted for war, but it was entirely to con struct a railroad ; and in proof that it was wanted for a railroad he will render accounts.—(Laughter.) I can only say it is what he never did before.—(Re newed laughter.) I have been subjected to the re iterated charge that _I am not consistent with my principles of free trade when I come here to denounce this loan. It is said to me, "We want you to allow us to lend our money in the dearest market and borrow it in the cheapest; why should we not have free trade in money ?" I have no ob jection to people wasting their money if they like ; but I claim the right as a Free-trader in this country to meet in a public assembly like this, and try and warn the unwary from. being deceived by those money mongers in the city of London, who will try to palm on us their bad security if they can.—(Cheers.) I am not going to attempt to coerce or dictate to them; we have done our duty in giving our advice, and probably by and by those who do not follow that advice now will vesli they had done so. That is their business, and not mine. It has been asked me this morning by a leading journal, whether I oppose this loan on the ground of its immorality or on the ground of its being unsafe ? Why, I answer, on both grounds.—(Loud cheers.) In my opinion what soever is immoral is unsaf e .— (Renewed cheers.) B u t apart altogether from its inherent immorality and insecurity, I stand here as a citizen of this country and of the World to denounce the whole character of this transaction as being injurious to the best interests of society.—(Cheers.) Now, I will take first of all the politico economic view of the question, for it has been supposed that grounds n stating th a t Ad am S m i t h, an d on this question I am p art i cularly weak in that di rection.—(Laughter.)gt Now, I stand on one of the t ro all the great politi ca l economists, are against the ver y pri n ciple o f t h ese loans. What is this money wanted for ? It is to be wasted, s s it is to go to pay the expense of maintaining a stand ing army, or the expenses of the atrocious war in Ilungary.—(Groans.) This sum is so much capital abstracted from England and handed over to an other country to be wasted, thereby abstracting from this country the means by which its own population are to be employed , and by which they live. I say that every loan to be granted by this country to a foreign government to be expended in keeping up armaments, or carrying on wars with other countries, that is as mach capital wasted or destroyed, for all the purposes of repro duction, as if the money was carried out into the middle of the Atlantic and sunk in the ocean.—(Loud cheers.) I make no distinction whether the interest be fair or net; for if the interest be paid on this loan by the Emperor of 'tussle, it is not paid out of the pockets Of the party to whom it is lent, it is not paid by the capital 'itself being invested in reproductive employment, ,but it is extracted from the wretchedness, the labour and the industry of his population for the interest of capital which has not only not been employed reproductively, but in ob structing industry, in devastating fair and fertile lasids, and in depressing freedom, which is the great source of wealth.—(Loud and long-continued cheers.) I say I stand here as a political economist, and I de nounce every such transaction as being injurious to the interests of every dais in this country, injurious alike to the highest and to the lowest, for it stops employment, impedes industry, and draws away from this country the very source cf profitable la bour; and therefore it must injure everybody, more or less, in this country, 'from the Government itself down to the humblest mechanic or farm-labourer.— (Cheers.) But I stand here also to denounce this loan as a politician, as a member of society, and as a tax payer.—(Hear, hear.) For what is the object of this loan ? It is to enable the Emperor of R uss i a t o ma intain an enormou s s t an di ng army ; and what i s the consequence hear.) nce?Why, that everycountry armamentin E u ro i b p o a obliged to k eep up an enormous . -(Hear, What is the statement of France ? Why they are obliged to keep 500,000 armed men because Russia keeps 800,000; and we area here in England accustomed to cite the hostile position of Russia as a reason why we keep our enormous fleet. I should not be surprised if, in the very next session, when I bring forward a motion asking to reduce our armament, if you find, what I have before found, the very example of the Russian fleet cited why we cannot reduce our navy. What has been the recent position of Russia towards this country ? Have we no t had our fleets stationed in the Mediter ranean at an enormous expense to this country ? Have we not had a fleet sailing in the Dardanelles, in consequence of the talk of an offensive engagement of Russia against Turkey? Bat it is the acknowledged policy of this country to endeavour to defend Turkey against all foreign powers. There is no foreign power that menaces the integrity of Turkey but Russia; and the common talk everywhere now t is that in the very next spring Russia meditates an hos tile attack on Turkey on the Danube. You will then ,have to defend Turkey against Russia ; and you will be fighting Russia, who will be fighting you with the moneys borrowed froni this country.—(Cheers.) We read in the history of Holland, that on one occasion, when a town was bombarded, its merchants sold saltpetre to the enemy to manufacture gunpowder with, to be used against themselves. I don't stand up for such a transaction ; but it may be that England may not stand better in the page of his- tory in 1850 when it is found ready and willing to endorse the desperate wickedness of Russia by lending her the means of continuing her career of violence which she has hitherto maintained. I say, therefore, that, apart from the abstract morality, I, as a tax-payer and a politician, with the rest of you, have a right to meet and protest against a transaction like this from whatever quarter it may come. But I denounce the morality cf this loan. We have a snug doctrine half hinted, half expressed, and not very confidently asserted ; but we have heard that doctrine broached that you must not question what a man does with his own.— (Laughter.) You must only ask how much per cent. you can get; if you can get 51. per cent. in-- stead of four that is quite sufficient to sanctify the transaction.—(Laughter.) That is the doctrine I hear put fs.ath in the. name of the citizens of London. I can only say the Emperor of Russia has given them credit for a much higher standard of morality than they possess. He was afraid to come before them and avow what he wanted the money for. He was advised by his counsel to tell a fib—(Laughter)--to allow the citizens of London to swallow the gilded pill, when he stated that money was wanted for a railroad.-- (Laughter.) Now, what is the money wanted for ? Simply and solely to make up the arrear caused by the Hungarian war.—(Hear, hear.) lam not much in the habit of - boasting at public meetings, but if I were a boaster, I should exult on this occasion that the assertion I made in this room in June or July last, and which was subjected to so much sarcasm from friends and from foes—l say I should feel some, exultation, at all events, that this poverty stricken Czar has been obliged to come, and most re luctantly, to verify every word I said. Now, what becomes of the two millions that we were told the Emperor of Russia was going to advance to the Austrians ? Now what becomes of the 500,0001. which he was going to advance to the Pope ? (Laughter.) Where is that half million which he was generously to bestow on the Grand Duke of Tuscany ? He ought to pay his scribes well in Western Europe to tell such lies for him, seeing ,hat they are subject to this rough refutation of a, they say - in his behalf at the hand; of the'poor Czar himself.---(Loud cheers and a cry of" The Times," and " IVill any gentleman produce and burn it ?") HI had been employed to write up to wealth and power the man who, six months afterwards, was obliged to come before the citizens of London and sign his name to such a humiliating document as that ukase, I should feel I had been hardly used, and I should expect to be exceedingly well paid for the lies I had told.—(Cheers.) I stand here to uttersthe very words I have twice used on this platform, that the Russati Government in matters of finance .for years has been the most gigantic political imposture in Europe.—(Cheers.) That is the word I used before, and I wed it as Ido every word I use in public, advisedly and with due reflection, and I come here to repeat it.—(Cheers.) What was - this money wanted for ? For the purposes of the vile ambition and bloody designs of a man who has the will and all the tastes of Peter the Great wrapped up in all the livery of Louis the Fourteenth, but without the genius of the one or the wealth of the other (Loud cheers) — and who wants to play a part in Europe, forgetting he is in the middle of the nineteenth cen tury instead of the seventeenth, and utterly wanting not merely the appreciation of what can enable him to play a part in history now, but wanting also the means to pursue the tastes he possesses.—(Cheers.) What is the object of the loan ? To make up the deficiencies and to pay the debts incurred by the Emperor of Russia in his wanton attack and outrages upon the liberties of klungary.=---(Hear.) I said before here that the expenses of that oppressive war have not been paid. I will tell you why they were not. The Russian army was moved from the interior of the country to the borders of Hungary ; but owing to the Government -of i!Russia not having any money in its military chest, they had not the means of paying for the transit of their army from St. Petersburgh to the confines of Hungary. How did the Government manage to effect their pur pose P The Government sent out directions to the farmers and 'landlords along the whole line of march, ordering them to deposit at certain places of the route certain quantities of provisions and other things necessary for the forage of the troops. Upon a given day the parties were to repair to the Treasury at Cronstadt, where on satisfactory proof being given that they had supplied the com modities, they would receive Treasury receipts in exchange, which were to be made avail able for the payment of taxes. A t the appointed time these receipts came in—they had been anticipated before the arrival of the tax-day—and as the Government had not the necessary means for car rying on the affairs of the country it issued 3,000,0001. of Treasury notes, accompanied by an ukase avowing that these notes were issued for the payment of the expenses of the Hungarian war. Now, gentlemen, you will at once see the character of the proceedings of Russia, and how they were brought about. They obtained provisions for the troops dispatched to crash the liberties of Hungary from the agriculturists in the course of their march, depending upon raising sufficient money to enable them to discharge their claims as well as all otliere incidental to that disgrace ful war. And they have come to England for a loan —(llear)—and I say that this money now about to be raised in London is so much money used for cutting the throats of those unoffending men in Hungary, for the dcvastetion of villages, and for the outraging of women.—(Hear, hear.) Aye, and as much so as though the money were lent before ever a soldier marched into Hungary. And I say in the case of Russia, as I formerly said from this platfbrm with respect to Austria, that it matters not whether the money is obtained a little after or not. The operations in the case of Hungary were based upon calculations as to the amount of money that thus may be had on loan in England.—(Hear, hear.) They calculate in such proceedings upon the future, and therefore I say it is by the aid of English capital that these barbarous cruelties are inflicted. These are the purposes, and not for those of a railroad, for which the money is wanted. And are we to be told that because the money will pay 5 per cent., that therefore we are not to Inquire into the object for which the money is lent ? 'Why I can only say, if the doctrine is to hold good that a man may make the most profit he can out of his money, there was a worthy man much injured the other day, who was sen tenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour, for having been the owner of a number of infamous houses which returned him a profit of 20 per cent.— (Hea-, hear, and laughter.) I think that man should console himself on the treadmill that he is justified by the new code of me rals I hear repeatedly advanced in this country. But, gentlemen, the immorality of such a loan as this is not the only ground I have to advance, and upon which I rely tor the means of preventing this money', frombeing obtained. I think more is to be done by appealing to the self-interest of persons who may be dispcsed to take any share in this loan, and of the risk they run by doing so. Who are they going to lend it to ? To an irresponsible despot, who never publishes any account of his income or expenditure.— (Hear, hear.) You may look through the Gotha Almanack, which contains the receipts and the expen diture of the nations of the continent, but you will find no mention of the finances of Russia. I did so, thinking I might find some of the sources of the income and the nature of the expenditure of Russia, with the view of becoming better acquainted than I am with her resources. There is more or less information with respect to almost every state, but with respect to Russia we read—" We are altogether unable to furnish any particulars with respect to the income, expenditure, and resources of Russia."--(llear, hear.) Now that sort of investment is considered good by some gentlemen, because it is 1,000 miles off. Sup pose a person came to borrow money, who gave no report of his means—would he succeed ? (Ne, no.) How would you like to invest money in a railway which made no report to the shareholders? You have your meetings every six months; you have auditors, and yet, though you ex ercise the utmost surveillance over the management of rail way companies, yet Government audit is de manded in addition ; and by a strange inconsistency, of the gentlemen who are prepared to aiii 4 the Emperor of Russia in borrowing money, though he renders no account at all, one is also an advocate of Government audit in railways.---(Cheers.) That is my first ob jection, that we do not know what is done with the Money —we know, certainly that it is wasted in an exterminatir.g war. My next objection is that you are lending money to a Sovereign whose throne stands upon the most combustible elements of any in all Europe. (Hear, hear.) It is net,, I think, improper when the Em 7 peror of Russia comes and invites the citizens of London to lend him money to say something of the condition of-the-Emperor. - He - lithe only Eel.: peror in the world that rules over white slaves. Lle has the prowl distinction of ruling over 26,000,000 of male serfs, who are bought and sold with the land.—(Cries of " Shame !") Well, now, do you think that a very safe state of society , in the present age ?—(llear, hear.) Freedom (pro ceeded the Hon. Gentlemen) had extended to the south and to the west—it had extended with such rapid strides that it had advanced up to the confines of Russia—and did they think it likely, in these days, that it would stop short at Russia ?—(l.lear, hear.) They could not anticipate any other result than that the serfs of Russia, being men, would prefer freedom to slavery, and, being ten to one as compared with their masters, could there be any doubt that they would do in Russia what had been done in every country in Europe— namely, assert th e i r freedom ?—(Hear, hear.) What. security would they then have for the repayment of the loan, before:many years had passed away ? There never existed in any country a body of serfs who did not achieve their emancipation when other nations were by means of revolution effecting on a large scale many important changes. What could they say in such a case? for they had lent their money to maintain for a longer time despotism and the overawing of the , serf. He should say they would repudiate such a loan, made for such a purpose.—(Loud cheers.) Let them bear in mind that this system of civilized states lending money to more barbarous Governments was the way to perpetuate slavery, and to upheld tyranny.—(Hear, hear.) By doing so they made Governments depend upon foreign aid instead of de pending upon their people for the supply of the requisite resources for the government of a state. Let them go back to the time' of the Plantagenets, when the people of England were gaining libeyty step by step. Ho w did th e peop l e secure the liberties which they demanded ? By the necessities and trilearrais meats of their King —one King being obliged to grant the franchise, in order to raise money, and another, who was obliged to pawn the jewels in his crown, was compelled to grant certain rights to the people. In this way were the liberties of the people wrung from their kings, namely, through their pecuniary necessities. But if one of their ancient kings could have borrowed 5,000,000 of money from a foreign state, as Russia wished, did they think the liberties of the people would have been given ? 1 — (Hear, hear.) Did they think that the masses in Eastern Europe were ignorant of this; and had they not a perfect right to ask what right we had to lend money to an irresponsible despot to perpetuate their serfdom and slavery. 13itt there was another difficulty which he wished those who were willing to lend money to Russia to bear in mind: Though they there represented public opinion out of doors, they might not be strong enough to prevent the actual lending of the money ; but let them who did so well understand, that . the tax payers of this country would be no parties to the collection of their debts.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Hitherto there had been a sort of vague notion, that if a foreign Government failed in paying its debts that the Government was forced to interfere to enforce payment; but he was glad to perceive that Lord Palmerston, in some cor respondence which had recently taken place, stated the, though he objected to interfere in the special case brought betbre him " by force of arms," yet he reserved to himself the power to do so in cases that he might think deserving of such an interference.—(l.l.ear, hear, and cheers.) Moreover he . wished them to understand, that they heti sufficient power to prevent them making a Prime Minister a bumbailiff.—(Laughter.) The Peace party would be found a powerful obstacle to such a course, and most assuredly there were men in that room who would live to see' the time when not one farthing of this loan would be paid.—(Hear.) In deed he believed the universal feeling of the country would result in the loss of the money—(Loud cheers)—not from any ill will to the unfortunate persons who would hold the bond s , b u t f rom th e b e li e f that such a retribution would be a righteous one, and that it might operate as a warning to prevent similar transactions for the future.—(Hear, hear.) A change had come over the public mind with respect to these loans, and nobody now would justify them on the ground of political economy, consistency;,morality, and indeed they were indefensible in public opi nion. —(Hear, hear.) This had been the work of six months, whereas they bad but begun their work.— (Hear, bear.) And when it was once known in foreign countries that no more loans could be had from England the interest would cease to be paid—repudiation would be the order of the day.—(Hear, hear.) II•3 would undertake to show that since 1815 the Go vernments of the continent, in the aggregate, had borrowed more money than they had paid in inte rest to their creditors.—(Hear, hear.) In fact, the ' gullible people had been lending money out of one pocket in order to receive a small portion in interest out of it into the other.—(Laughter.) The money lenders, speculators, and brokers were not, how- ever, the parties who would suffer in such a state of things. These parties subscribed to a loan contracted by a large house, in order that they might dish ibute it among their customers and clients, making a profit of it. Indeed, be would ven ture to say that not 5 per cent. of the loan would be subscribed by Monday next by parties who in tended to hold the loan as a permanent investment. After showing that the loan was not by any means an investment, whereby any man would wish to provide for his children, the Hon. Gentleman pro ceeded to canvass the value ef the loans previously contracted for by the Messrs. Baring—for instance, the Spanish, the Grenada, and the Portu guese loans. He had constantly letters of complaint from suffering individuals, who had un fortunately invested their money in these and other loans. Those who investigated the value of such loans, and pointed it out, did, he believed, society good service. —(Hear, hear.) All he had previously stated with respect to Russia had been fully verified. Tney must, however, take nothing for granted with respect to Russia, as its Govern ment was a systematic fraud and a lying misrepresentation. The money waiting to be loaned in this country would be in great part devoted to promoting the system of espionage that was pursued by Russia, in bribing employes at Constantinople, and the press of Germany and of France.—(Several voices, " And in England. The Times—burn it.") They could not believe that the press of England was bribed.—(Renewed cries of the " Times.") To be sure some of the newspapers had done the work of despotism right well—(Loud cheers)—and now they seemed disposed to play the part of vampires or ghouls. No, they were worse. No name had yet ben found for that indescribable monster that preyed upon those who had fallen from 1( f y places, and were begging their bread in want. How should he describe the wretches who were base enough to traduce the characters of these inee:? He spoke of ghouls and vampires; they preyed upon the carcases of the material body. They had no monster akin to the character of him who lived by destroying the character of a fallen foe —(Pro longed cheering.) That was the way the money would be spent. The Hon.Gentleinan then defended the Russian people from the charge of being warlike, saying that such was the dread of the people to join the army or the navy, that when a man was taken by the con scription he left his town in a procession headed by the priest, es if they were all going to a funeral, and he mentioned the fact of a man v ho being declared by the surgeon as unfit to serve, ran out of the house, where he had been stripped for examination, in a state of nudity, such was his deliri ous joy at being liberated. Neither were they ag gressive people. They loved their country, and were contented to stay in it, and though, like all serfs, they were petty thieves, and indulged in the vice of drunkenness, yet they had a great regard for human life, and crimes of deep dye did not prevail. By re fusing loans of this kind they would teach foreign Governments to promote the welfare of their people and to govern them through their affections rather than their fears. He exhorted those who thought of ievesting their money in this loan to bear in mind that the family to which the Czar belonged was not a long-lived one—(Hear, hear)—and that his son was utterly unfit to cope with the difficulties of the Government. They wou ld p l ace th e i r m oney on a find volcano, and th e y m i g ht r i se one morning and scene the this great empire rent a s under, and of devastati on s p r i ng i ng from influence of despotism, cru e lty, and oppression. _ (The Hon. Gen realer' concluded a sp ec.ll of s more than an hour's duration amidst much applau se ) Considerablemerrimen t was created at the conclu sionch of Mr. Cobden 's speech by a burly individual i n the meeting c alling out, " Send the Emperor of Rus sia h and let him see that we ' have te Reformers Alnianack, enou gh to pay without contributing to his loans." Mr. J. B. SMITH, M.P. for Stirling Barghs, said he most cordially united in the expressions contained in the resolution, which he begged to second. He entirely agreed in the assertion, that every one who contributed a portion to the proposed loan shared in the crime of which it was to be the result. Mr. MIALL supported the resolution. After the able speech of. Mr. Cobden, which was so convincing, because so full of facts, he almost despaired of being able to gain the attention of the meeting to that aspect of the subject which was more especially moral. lie would not cast any unnecessary imputation upon those classes who negotiated the loan, and who regarded themselves only as traders COAL MARK ET. -YEgTERDAY.

MARSIIALL, Chief Cashier. 1850. Dated the 17th day of January,' BATHS AND WASIIIIOUSES AT GREENWICH.--On Thursday the parish of Greenwich was in a state of unusual excitement, in consequence of a poll of the rate payers having been taken as t ) the necessity of the establishment of baths and washhous'es in the parish, and which took place under the following circum stances:—On the 6th December last a vestry (at which several of the must isiflueeti4l perisisluuers were pre sent) was held in the vestry-room, the Rer. W. A. Seamen, the vicar, in the chair, when a motion was carried unanimously to adopt the Act for the establish ment of baths and washhouses. On Friday week, in order further to carry into effect tLe provisions of the Act, a vestry was convened to take into consideration the pro priety of appointing commissioners of baths and wash houses, the vicar presiding. A resolution was proposed and seconded in support of the appointment of com mis.ioners, upon which an amendment was moved that it was inexpedient, in consequence of the groat expense likely to be incurred, that baths and washhouses should be erected. There were but five hands hold up for the amendment. The Rev. Chairman declared the resolu tion carried, when a poll was demanded. The poll lasted two days, and was concluded yesterday. The Rev. W. A. Soames, the vicar, having taken the chaTr, the result was declared as follows:—For the appointment of commissioners, 994; for the amendment, 590—majority for baths and washhouses, 404. The Rev. Chairman than stated, that their next duty was, under the Bth ! end 10th Victoria, to deter m i ne h ow many commissioners should be appointed. It was then resolved nem. con. that there should be seven commissioners, when the list of names was proposed. Ultimately the following gentle men were declared by the vicar to be elected:—Mr. L. Glentor, Mr. T. Jones, Dr. Purvis, Mr. A. Ritchie, Mr. IL Ketll, Mr. E. Absolom, and Mr. E. Bass. A poll was demanded for the unsuccessful candidates, which was appcinled to take place on Thursday anti Friday next. The vestry separated at ten o'clock. AYLESBURY SAVINGS-BANK.—In reference to the robberies committed on the funds of this institution through the emfozzlementa and forgeries of Henry Stratton, a clerk connected with the savings bank, who sailed for New York in the steam-ship Canada, on the 29th of December last, a communication has been re cently addressed to Sir G. Grey on the part of the trus tees cf the Aylesbury Savings-bank, expressing the hope that, as the trustees had no funds at their command to bear the charges of the capture and prosecution of Strat ton, and as they entertained a strong opinion that the arrest and conviction of one who had succeeded in placing himse f for the present beyond the reach cf the law would be attended with very beneficial results, the Go vernment would at its own charge take measures to bring him to justice. In reply to this communication the trustees were informed by official letter, dated Jan. 14, that Sir G. Grey would bo happy to render the trustees of the Aylesbury Savings-bank all the assistance in his power to procure the apprehension and delivery cf Henry &tatty's, accoreing to the terms cf the treaty with the American Government, bat that h could not undertake t) &fray the expenses, which must, as in ordinary cases, be borne by the prosecutor.

When, however, the hair contains a good supply of its natural unguent, the power of the saline particles to absorb moisture is neuralised, and the hair will maintain its curli ness: the natural supply is, however, rarely sufficient, and MIL TON'S lIAIR LUBRICANT is the only rational preparation for supplying nature's deficiency: the hair dressed with it will preserve its natural curliness for any length of time, either in the ballroom or during exercise in damp weather; it also renders the hair, aided by brusbing, beautifully clean and silky.

Barclay and Co., Farting,don-street.

Beautiful hair cannot exist where this lubricating mat ter is not sufficiently supplied ; a careful analysis of this peculiar na tural unguent has been made, and repeated experiments have pro duced MILTON'S HAIR LUBRICANT, In which are combined with the greatest care the exact natural components ; it is, there fore, the only rational application which should be made to the hair; its effects are immediately perceptible, causing dry thin hair 0 be come lustrous, silky, and abmalant.
