eresided, and there were present Mr.Feargus O'Con nor, M.P., M. Louis Blanc, Mr. G. Sr. M. Reynelis, Bronterre O'Brien, Mr. G. J. Holyoake, Mr. Ruddy, Mr. Waller, Mr. Nichols, Mr. Petrie, (the sec retary), and several other members of the committee. M. Louis Blanc, on entering the room, was loudly cheered by the company, and was warmly fraternised with by Mr. O'Connor, who got him to sit beside him on the left of the chair, and repeatedly embraced him. M. Blanc apparently soon got tired of this fraterni zation, and removed his seat to the right of the chairman, where he could enjoy the proceedings with less interruption. Mr. O'Connor, indeed, attempted in various ways to make himself conspicuous during the evening, but invariably without success ; in fact he was as decidedly discountenanced at Highbury barn as he was last week at the Guildhall of Southampton. On one occasion, when an elevated platform was being put up for the use of the chair man and his friends, Mr. O'Connor placed his chair upon the table, and sat down there ; but this free and easy mode of ceremony was rather too much for the company. He was assailed with loud cries of " Down, down," " Off, off," in the midst of which his friends were glad to bring him down. No toast was put into his hand, and he left the room without once being called upon to address the meeting. The cloth having been removed, The Cumuli eN said it was usual to begin the list of toasts with one of a purely formal character, ex pressive of the g ene r a l feeling that animated the whole assembly. In that sense he would propose the first toast, " The People."—(Loud applause.) Their enthusiasm would not allow him to finish—nay, they had cut off the last letter of the word he uttered— it was the peoples ; may they ever be allied in the defence of liberty.—(Loud cheers.) It ought to be mentioned here, that immediately after dinner various members of the company intro duced pipes and cigars, and the room was speedily filled with the odour. This produced a general cry from those who were not indulging in the luxury of "no smoking," and the chairman was obliged to interfere, and request that the smoking might be dis continued. His request was only partially complied with, and some, rather than give up the practice, at once left the room. The CILIIBMAN said th a t, i n accor d ance w ith th e determination to make this demonstration one of va rious classes and shades of opinion, various persons had been written to to attend this banquet. In an swer to those invitations, Lord Dudley Stuart wrote to say that he could not be present, or rather that he could not by his presence at any banquet where Louis Kossuth was not present be useful.—(Laughter, hisses, and cries of " The aristocrat.") But Lord Dudley added, that be received with pleasure and pride the noble demonstration which the working classes had made in favour of the Hungarian patriot. He had also received a reply from Mr. Ban croft Davis, whom he (the Chairman) had invited, because, from his perfect knowledge of the United States, he could have told them what he (the Chair man) would now tell them, in supporting the free peoples of Europe, the Whig and the democratic par ties there would be as one.—(Cheers.) As to his attendance, they could all understand why a gentle • man in an official position must decline such an invi tation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. W. J. Fox wrote to say, that, having to leave town to•morrow for an engage ment which he could not postpone, it was impossible for him to attend a demonstration in the object of which he cordially concurred. Mr. George Dawson was also obliged to decline. If he had come, he could have told them that the first declining of Kossuth to receive their address had produced a serious damp among the inhabitants of the democratic town of Bir mingham, but that his subsequent acceptance of this magnificent demonstration had caused a feeling the reverse of damp—hope, energy, and determination on the part of the people of Birmingham to support that great man and the cause of Hungary. Charles Gilpin wrote to say that he could not be present, be cause of a special engagement, in which he hoped to be useful to Kossuth. With regard to the day's procession, he need hardly make any report. He did not know if they had all been present at the Copenhagen-fields, and seen the immense gather ing of people or the spirit that animated them, but he did know that the demonstration was so great as to defy the calculations of persons who were not accustomed to view large numbers of men. There had been various estimates formed of the number present ; one gentleman, whose report they would probably see to-morrow morning, estimated them at 6,ooo.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," " The Times," and Mr. O'Connor exclaimed " The bloody old Times.") If, indeed, the support of Europe's freedom were re daced to the forlorn hope of 6,000 men, he could only call upon them to give three cheers for the 6,ooo.—(The three cheers were given accordingly.) But his own imagination went rather further—and he did not speak without experience as to large num bers, nor was he unsupported in his calculation by others ; he believed the numbers would be understated if they were taken at 75,000.—(Cries of " More.") He was glad to hear them say so—he believed indeed that without excess he might say 100,000. Three cheers, then, for the 7 00,000.—(Loud cheering.) The assembly was so large that it could not catch the full volume of Kossuth's voice, enfeebled as it was by captivity ; but those who did hear it he was delighted with the promptitude and the spontaniety with which they responded to two points. The first was wren he said that England would no longer permit Russia to oppress nationalities; and the second was, what he well knew to be true, that the United States would stand by Europe in any contest with the despots of Europe.—(Lowl cheers.) lie need not make any further report, but would call upon the secretary to read the address to Kossuth. Mr. PETTIE, the secretary, read the address accord ingly, which appears in another column. Mr. GERARD MASSEY then proposed the toast of Kossuth and Hungary.—(Cheers.) They had that day welcomed the leader of Hungary; they had wel comed in him the great man of the century—the man of thought and action combined. He came among them defeated it is true, but with lofty aims and high hopes which had enthroned him in the hearts of half the world ; and where was the conqueror that had a welcome like that ? He came among them simply as a patriot, and yet half the world listened when he spoke and gathered up his glowing words. Where was the apostle or the teacher who had an audience like that ?—(Cheers.) They met to-day to welcome the glorious leader of Hungary, and his heart thrilled within him for joy when he thought how the despots of Russia and Austria would gnash their teeth with impotent rage at the demonstration of this day, while it would send a thrill of hope through all the down trodden countries of the world.—(Cheers.) Speaking of Hungary, how grandly did the drama of 1848 open upon the world. At the first rising of the curtain, the people came upon the stage knocking down thrones and kings, as it was written Dagon fell before the ark of the living God le—how they conquered and triumphed at Milan, at Vienna, and at Berlin ! how Hungary conquered, one after another, the mercenary hordes that were sent against her ! And what a change ! They had seen the hearts which beat high for freedom now mouldering in the dust—arms which once were raised high for daring deeds were now mouldering in the gtave ; but still they must never despair. Never despair of France while she had such sons as glorious Louis Blanc—(Cheers)—and that grand old priest Lamannais; though she had now an unfeeling sensu sl.st as her President, who did not scruple to murder working men at midnight—hacked them to pieces in secret with axes and swords, rather than mowed them down with cannon and musketry, that the world might not be startled by the enormity of the crime. France would yet arise and shake these foul intriguers from her, as the lion shook off the vermin that settled on his mane.—(Cheers.) They did not despair of Italy while she had such sons as her glorious Joseph llazzini•—(Great cheering.) Yea, though his once black hair had become prematurely grey with sorrow and toil, rath er thanwith age, still he would yet re turn to his native lands. The Lombards wou ld s h out to the Piedmontese tiae Piedmontese would ye shout to the Romans—and a great republic would sit in the capital of the Caesars. —( ( ;be ers) --, '" `"e,PrS)They Kossuth id nt despair of Hungary — they believed thatwould yet return to his beloved country, and England would not confine her sympathi es to cheers, as she had done to-day , she would at least stand up f or f a i r play, and prevent Hungary from being overwhelmed by the hordes of Russia. Let them also show that England did not lag behi nd. Let them mak e it mani fest that the happiness and freedom of England were not the least among the nations of the world. Dr. HYACINTHE ROYAY returned thanks. H e said—Brothers, the present is the first occasion on which I am speaking your language—(Cheers) — the language of a free, generous people—the language of a country whose hospitable shores have received the Hungarian exiles and protected them from the cruel persecutio n of tyrants. What can I say to you about '-'-ungarv—aur bereft country—without exclaiming, as says David--« Th the hi g h beauty of Israel are slain on places—how are the mighty fallen l" (Hear, hear.) You must allow me to speak a short time about Hungary_my dear and ever memorable country. About 1,200 the cradle of the human r years ago a people came from fruitful race —from Asia—and con quered the mighty rivers, the ce auel valleys, an d th e T swelling hills of P annon i a. men l who conquered it'were called Hun?, an d t h e nev was called after them Hungary. Hungary has a at all all times f been free and independent. It ch ose o f its ewl the family of Hapsburg to rule over the'tia reed all will the members of that house swore to preserveote Austrian an th'P vileges of the nation. Every kng f h line gave his word, and every king broke his word. --(Loud cheers.) Every king of the Austrian line took a holy oath as the father of his beloved people; every king violated that oath as a tyrant. But there is a God in heaven, and God is just.— (Loud cheers.) Ours was a holy war. We fought for freedom of] religion, as well for our Protestant as our Catholic brothers. We fought for our freedom—hap. Pine - s— for our lives and fortunes ; and "The sword of Saul returned not empty."—(Cheers.) The .Austrians were defeated, humiliated, abandoned, and on the ruins of our country rose the liberties of Hun gary. But the case cannot bear the good; the tyrant cannot bear freedom and happiness ; the freedom of nations must be secrified to the desires and cupidities of a single family, at least that is the rule of European politics beyond the sea.—(Cheers.) Austria was not able to subdue Hungary by herself—she called in the aid of Russia; and by Russia our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and friends were killed. Still (turn ing to the motto behind the chair) " there is no obsta cle to him that wills."—(Loud cheers.) It is said that the Russian forces were brought forward in the name of God to subdue rebellion. Ido not know what ideas of justice or humanity tyrants entertain; but I know that the principles of European policy are wholly abhorrent to religion and humanity. What ! attribute the sanction of God and nature to Russian and Austrian scalping-knives. I say there is a God in heaven—and God is just. The Hungarian people still live—" they are swifter than eagles and stronger than lions."—(Cheers.) Their day will return—it cannot be far distant and at that moment I will call for justice to my coun'ryinen—l will invoke the humanity of the generous English people.—(Cheers.) I trust that the sympathies which we meet in the palaces of the rich, as well as in the cottages of the poor, will support our people in those days ; and that in the few words of your immortal Nelson—" England expects every man to do his duty"— (Loud cheers) — all Englishmen will unite in maintaining the hap piness and freedom not of Hungary only, but of the whole world.—(Cheers.) Mr. CONYNGLIAM, of Brighton, then proposed, " Italy, and long life to Joseph Mizzini."— (Cheers.) With regard to the procession of the day, be had seen many processions on the continent, and he could not estimate to-day's gathering at less than 150,000 persons.—(Cheers.) They had expressed their sen timents in favour of Hungary, but how vain was all this expression of sentiment so long as the people were not represented in the House of Commons ? Did they suppose if the people had been represented that England would ever have allowed a single Cos sack to set his foot on the soil of Hungary ? (Cries of " No, no.") But what could they do so long as they were ruled by the Whigs, than whom there was not a greater set of impostors under the sun ?—(Cheers.) The first duty of every Englishman was to get them out of office, and the only way to do that was to insist on universal suffrage.—(Loud cheers and cries of:" Question.") Why did not the six millions of the disfranchised rise as one man, and insist upon the suffrage ? Was it asked of them what right they had to the suffrage ? He asked of such people what right had they to the land mono poly—(Loud cheers)—what right had they to the principle of hereditary legislation ?—(Cheers.) All that the disfranchised population had to boast of was the privilege of hereditary bondage. He would say to the people of England, if they were in earnest when the next struggle came, let them go forward as one man and insist upon having the suffrage. Let them return i their, own representatives to the House of Commons, and all subordinate questions would take care of themselves.—(Cheers.) Political reform was but a stepping-stone to social reform. It was not merely a radical reform they wanted, but a reform in the social organization of the whole countrv.—(Cries of " Question," and " What has this to do with Mazzini ?") It had every thing to do with Mezzini.—(Great confusion.) He was: anxious to impress upon the people the im portance of a change in the Government. If the Whig impostors continued to rule England, when the struggle came again in Hungary not a finger would be moved to save them. If they were in earnest in meeting in such solemn festivals as these they must take steps to put the Government of Great Britain into such hands that when Russia ventured to invade Hungary, or Austria to interfere in Italy, England and the United States would say to them— stir at your peril.—(Loud cheers.) He concluded by proposing " Joseph Mazzini and Italy." Mr. DAVID MASSON replied. Mr. FETTLE (the secretary) then proposed France. (Cheers.) The heart of France even now beat quick, and the period would soon arrive when she would unfurl the banner, not of any one man, but of a glorious principle-1832 was the epoch when France had named that her struggle for freedom would re commence; when she would unite in sentiments of fraternity with wounded Italy, with broken Hun gary, and with Poland, fallen, bat yet again to rise. —(Cheers.) It there was any name dear to France, it was the name of a man that was present among them—dear to all who, like himself, were the toilers and workers, the hewers of wood and the drawers of water; and yet there were other names dear to France, and he hoped that those men would yet re turn and raise aluft the banner of their country's glory ;:for in the honour of these men lay the action of France, end in the action of France lay the hope of the world.—(Loud cheers.) M. LOUIS BLANC then rose and spoke as follows: Citizens—l regret that I cannot express in a satisfac tory manner, in your language, the emotion which tho ardent expression of your sympathies has caused within me. How I regret that I cannot throw my heart into my words ! I am proud, for my beloved country, of all which I have just heard, and I trust that those who hear me may never have the sad ex perience of feeling how gratifyingly the praises of his country fall upon the soul of the exile. It is my turn to express to you how my admiration was ex cited for your country by what it has been my lot to witness here. Haynau arrived here, and his presence excited one burst of generous indignation. Such was the reception which the English people had ready for despotism. Kossuth arrived, and thousands of Eng lishmen rushed to welcome him as a brother—such was the reception England had in store for liberty. There is a connexion between these two facts which I think contains a deep lesson, and no stronger proof could be given, in the times in which we live, that no nation can remain indifferent to the fate of another. It was not without surprise, therefore, that I read the other day, in a speech of Mr. Cobden's, that the fundamental principle of the policy of free govern ments should be the principle of non-intervention. This assertion appeared to me the more singular in the mouth of one of the most ardent apostles of free trade. For, in sooth, if when considering simply their commercial and material interests, peoples should approach each other as near as possible, entwine and embrace each other, why should they remain confined to an isolated position when their moral interests are concerned, their social faith, the worship which they have to render in common to universal truth and justice? The principle of non intervention ! Why, that is national egotism sanc tified ; it is almost to acknowledge that the weak should be abandoned ; it is every one for himself, every one at home, admitted as the rule for inter national relations ; it is a giving up of diplomacy to the away of that maxim " laissez faire, laissez passer," which, in political economy, has been too often translated thus—" laissez gemir,laissez souffrir, laissez mourir." Well am I aware that when a people feels itself strong enough to re-assert its inde pendence by its own efforts, all the honour must be conceded to it, even at the expense of more tears and more bloodshed. After all, liberty is well worth the pains men take about it, and he who hesitates to brave a rugged path to attain it is not worthy of possessing it. I can thus perfectly understand the shout which Italy raised in 1848, " farce da se," and it was from my very soul that I applauded Kossuth when he said, " Let only Russia be stopped, and the Hungarians will do the rest." Who has a greater right than Kossuth to bold such language—he who is the re presentative of a people who have recently immor talized themselves by fighting the battles of giants ? But it must not be forgotten that there are nations who are weighed down by the consequences of a long oppression ; it must not be forgotten that chains leave marks—that they enervate the limbs upon which they press, and that one of the crimes of tyranny is to deprive its victims even of the firm will to shake it off. With regard to those peoples, what value, tell me, can be attached to non-intervention ? You find a man prostrate on the ground—a brigand has a knee upon his breast—will you confine yourself to say, "If another assailant comes I will stop him ; until then I shall not interfere ?" If the unfortunate man suc cumbs, it is because be had not the strength to de fend himself ; and will you pass listlessly on ? Citi zens! those are not the principles of Democracy. Puissancewvhe what yt i true ry ue e oblige. Weakness is the creditor of str ength—ignorance is the creditor of knowledge— s every a th n e in c d re i d vi i d to u r al of is e v v ci e u r a y lly fre a e pu m lin a a n b — le a nation. For, citizens when a man—a single man od —is oppressed, e he is represents ttl ' in . that moment the Thus was it understooed whole earth— ebmbtohdirn_!nt of humanity. When that much calumniated, the French revolution. tion entered upon the scene of the world, it did not e n jo that-in t e a r 1. Tzt o g n a o ro n mp t lee h d e i s c t con trary, then-t that glorious . revolu tit nhoebplyrinincaiipillteaoinf proclaim trary , natural debtor of weaker nations —is there was not a drop of blood —not one—i n the veins that France which did not belong to the oppressed. It did not write at the head of its new laws, " Declaration of the rights of Frenchmen," but it wrote, "Decla ration of the rights of man," and that heroic charter was entrusted to citizen soldiers to proclaim it he risk of their lives and at throughout Europe, at t the point cf their bayonets. That Pitt should have resolved to transform the anathemas of Burke against the French revolution, and that he one day exclaimed in the British Parliament, " Will you allow the re publicans of France to send to the republicans of England, as they announced, 50,000 caps of liberty ? let us hasten to declare war against the principles of the French revolution—principles which it is capable of teaching to Europe from the cannon's mouth"—that Pitt, Isa took such a course and held suc h l 31, angua ge is not to be wondered at. Evil, like good, has Rll flexible logic of its own. BY in" tervening in the affairs of Europe, for the ruin of the French revolution, Pitt acted up to his part, as the French revolution did its part for the destruction of oppressive privileges and for the triumph of justice. And thence it resulted that France was overspread over the globe, or rather submerged it for a time ; but democracy is like the Nile—when it submerges it fructifies. When Nicholas issued forth his armies upon Hungary to subjugate it—when, by the most au dacious and at the same time most cowardly of attempts, Louis Napoleon took possession of Rome, doubtless it would have been a happy event if a powerful Go vernment, for instance the English Government, had come forward and exclaimed, " You shall not pass." But if that Government had been truly democratic, do you suppose that it would have confined itself simply to the frozen theory of non-intervention ? No, citizens ; if it had within itself the power to carry out a noble action, it would have said, " You are going to fight against a just cause, I shall defend it ; you intervene against right, I intervene for right ; and that is why I say to you—invoking equity, strong in the support of what men holds most sacred in the eyes of the world which beholds us, and human conscience which judges us—' You shall not pass.'" In fine, citizens, the enemies of nations are friends in bond (sont solidaires) ; the peoples and the Govern ments that represent them must be solidaires also. It is not enough to paralyse the intervention of Evil, the intervention of Good must be organized, and it is high time. For we aro perhaps even now on the eve of a struggle, and—it is with a profound emotion that I say it—perhaps a terrible struggle. May the Al mighty spare us such a calamity; may a last struggle not become necessary to put a final end to combats; may a last and formidable war not be indispensable to stifle war ! But can we entertain such a hope ? Alas ! our enemies have but too well studied how to make bloodshed the price of progress. The revolution of 1848 met them with words of peace, of generosity, of clemency. And when they had gained the strong hand, how did they act ? They were violent even unto madness. Dividing Europe into two camps, these misguided men devoted themselves blindly to create the necessity of a duel ez mort. May Heaven avert it ! But should the folly of the counter-revolu tion decide it otherwise, then let fate be accomplished! Democracy, you may be sure, will not render up its sword. The CHAIRMAN said while M. Louis Blanc had been making his eloquent speech in favour of an effi cacious non-intervention-- Mr. REYNOLDS—No, no; be is not in favour of non-intervention [here there was great confusion and cries for an interpretation of the speech, in the midst of which] — The CHAIRMAN hoped the meeting would support him. He said that while M. Louis Blanc was de livering that eloquent speech, he had been reading three letters he had received from Robert wen — (Cheers) ; D. Brattiano, representative from the Dal matian provinces, which Russia would next eat up, and member of the Central Democratic Committee of Europe ; and M. Mazzini, which . he would read to the meeting. They all contained apologies for non-attendance. The following is the letter of M. Mazzini : "Sir,—Your kind invitation reached me very late on Saturday. I regret that both previous engagement and other merely personal motives will prevent me from availing myself of it, but in heart, soul, and wishes I am with you and with all those who advocate the principle contained in the address to Kossuth, that on the brotherhood of peoples rest the hopes of civilization and the free development of man's noblest faculty.' "A truly holy alliance of the nations, on the basis of freedom and equality for the moral, intellectual, and physical progress of mankind, has been the parent thought of all that I have during twenty-two years spoken, written, done, and endeavoured. Let that parent thought live and act through all your manifestations. God and the people, truth and might, will help you on your way, on which the blessing and friendship of all now bleeding and struggling nations will welcome the English workers. "Believe me, Sir, with cordial thanks, " Ever faithfully yours, "JOSEPH MAZZINI. " 2, Sydney-place, Brompton, Nov. 3." Mr. BRONTERRE O'BRIEN next addressed the meeting, and proposed the toast of " Germany."— (Cheers.) He referred in terms of high praise to the Democratic insurrections that took place in 1848, in Vienna, in Berlin, in Leipsic, Dresden, &c., where emperors, kings, and dukes, were all sent upon the tramp, and which was checked only because the principle of non-intervention was not carried out. He hoped they would all be ready next year—be would not say with force or violence—but still they wotild be united to insist that when Ministers proposed a Bill of reform, it should not be a mockery like former Reform Bills, but that it should be a real reform, such as would put power into the hands of the com mon people. Then what a glorious future might be looked for in all Europe. He was in the habit of mixing among some three hundred of the more ad vanced men connected with all the countries of Europe, and he could tell them that next year they looked for the complete emancipation of the whole of Europe. It would begin with France, for that was the reservoir whence the living fountains of the waters of liberty came forth and flowed over all Eu rope. When that example spread over the continent Gemany would establish a grand confederation of democratic republics. —(Loud cheers.) Yes, thirty seven democratic republics, as there were now thirty seven states, with one central assembly for the general affairs of the whole, like the Central Congress of America. The same thing would take place in Italy. There were at present thirteen states there; and the opinions of the friends in London were not united whether there should be a confederation of thirteen republics, aye republics—for those miserable devils— kings and popes—would no longer be tolerated ; or whether there should be one grand republic for the whole.—(Cheers.) These republics would be founded on the principles decreed by our own Alfred, who promulgated the law that there should he only eight hours for work.—(Great and prolonged cheering.) Yes, Alfred ordained that there should be eight hours for sleep, eight hours for recreation, but that no man unless for crime should work more than eight hours. —(Continued cheering.) When France gave the signal for this movement all the despots of the world would attack them, then England would give the signal for a democratic rising, and they would fly not only at the political tyrants but at all the rich mercantile moneyed classes who supported them, and they would sweep away all vestiges of feudal tyranny all over Europe.—(Cheers.) Mr. AM AND GOEGG returned thanks, and said— Citizens and friends—the unavoidable absence of my friends Ruge and Tausenau imposes on me the task of responding to the generous sentiments which you have been pleased to express with regard to Germany —a task which I would, indeed, wish to have fallen into abler hands than mine, but which I yet most cheerfully accept. I thank you most heartily, in the name of German democracy, for your generous sympathies for our cause. That cause is not triumphant now, nor can we, like the illustrious Kossuth, boast of former triumphs. Yet the barricades of Berlin, Dresden, Frankfort, the glorious struggle of Vienna, and the battle-fields of Baden, have sufficiently proved to the world that the German people were resolved to gain the glorious pri vileges of freemen. Had we to deal with one tyrant only, as the French had, we should long ag o h ave succeed in breaki ng th e y o k e . But with us the task is somewhat more difficult; thirty-five tyrants are not so readily overcome as one. I know there are some who will assert that the German character is too phi losophical, poetical, and metaphysical ever to achieve great things on the practical field. This is true per haps to some extent ; perhaps we are a little too much in the habit of looking to the clouds above us, and disregarding the clods beneath our feet. But of this much let me assure you: we are for all that a freedom loving people, aye, and one which will not be satisfied merely with acquiring political rights and independ ence, but which will also, and more strenuously still, insist upon a thorough social reform. For years have we been carefully watching what has passed around us. We have looked, for instance, to France. What have we seen there, and what do we see there even now ? A . n approa c h, i n d ee d , to po li t i ca l lib erty ; but by the side of individual slavery and social misery. This is not the liberty to which we aspire. No once more rest ye assured, with us social ameliora tion shall walk hand in hand with political reform. The achievement of political independence is with us only the key to the much more invaluable trasure of individual and social freedom and happiness. I know that there are now around me many, and that beyond the walls of this building there are millions of Eng lishmen, Frenchmen, Italians, and Hungarians, who think and inspire with us in these most important matters. Millions of brothers who eagerly and hope fully look forward to the dawn of their emancipation from the slavery of capital. But reforms, such as we contemplate, can only be gained by a league of the peoples. I need say no more. Permit me to propose a toast—" To the political equality of all citizens, to the emancipation of labour from the tyranny of capital ; in fine, to the political and social regenera of mankind."—(Cheers.) Mr. G. J. 110LYOALE, in proposing the toast of Turkey, referr e d t o th e progress l ate l y made by her Majesty in the north, and to the loyalty with which she had been received by the working classes. The poorest t knew cl a s that lh newspapers s a id t h at l oyalty lived in the breasts of T in e e sne m w c rt eNowre democrats, he ( tHhe ypo ol Al and while they respected the person of the Queen they would have given a thoughtful, intelligent, and manly vote against the continuance of the Queen's office if it had been put to them, and they would have done so because she was the symbol of aristocratic rule which was ever adverse to the liberties of the people. If, then, these people s h owed that they couldtreat with marked respect apolitical foe, or one whom they considered as such, it showed their fitness for the franchise; for every one knew it was more difficult to behave courteously to an antagcnist than t o a friend.—(Hear.) He hoped the time would not be far distant when they would be able to give Turkey substantial help if she needed it; in the hope of that, he would propose the toast of " Turkey, and the reform of her institutions." Mr. FLEMING returned thanks. By this time the noise and confusion arising from persons leaving the room, or talking without regard to the business of the evening, had become intolerable, and it was only by those immediately surrounding them that several of the preceding speakers could be beard at all. The other toasts, one of which was " The United States," and was proposed by Mr. Lloyd Jones, tailor, were dispatched in succession, and the meeting separated about eleven o'clock. We may add, that a party of German musicians were in attendance, and sung several fine airs in the course of the evening. KOSSUTII AND MR. LANDOR. " Winchester, Oct. 25. " Sir,—lt is with peculiar satisfaction that I accept the address from the citizens of Bath, at the head of whose names I find one so distinguished, and BO long familiar to me, as your ()Nu. Be assured that the sentiments you express are those which have ever animated me in all my efforts, and in every trust which my countrymen have confided to me. Social order' I believe to be consistent alone with constitutional freedom. I have sought to ensure the one by strengthening and enlarging, in peaceful and legal methods, the other. In this I have been consistently supported by my countrymen : it has been all we aimed at. " Your allusion to the potentate to whose firm and upright demeanour I owe so much, touches feelings of respect and gratitude which can never be effaced. I have the honour to be, Sir, with feelings of the highest esteem, your obedient servant, " Walter Savage Landor, Esq." "'L. KOSSUTH. "Bath, October 28. " Sir,—The chief glory of my life is that I was the first in subscribing for the assistance of the Hun garians at the commencement of their struggle ; the next is, that I have received the approbation of their illustrious leader. " I, who have held the hand of Kosciusko, now kiss with veneration the signature of Kossuth. No other man alive could confer an honour I would accept. " Believe me, sir, ever yours most faithfully, " WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR." INTENDED DEPARTURE OF KOSSUTH. The following communication has been received by the American consul at Southampton:- 30, Eaton-place, Oct. 30, 1851. My dear Sir,—l have seen the telegraph dispatch ad dressed by you yesterday to Lord Dudley Stuart; I write to say that I will certainly proceed to New York on board the Washington, if you can make arrangements for that ship to sail from Southampton on the 14th of November next, iu tho afternoon. I am, my dear Sir, yours truly, J. R. Croskey, E q. L. KOSSUTH. THE "TIMES," "2'HE SUN," AAD THE " GLOBE." (From the Morning Advertiser.) The Times is evidently alarmed, lest the knowledge of the state of public feeling in England, with regard to Kossuth, should find its way to the continent, and by that means rectify the erroneous belief that it re flects the public feeling of this country. When our evening contemporaries, The Sun and the Globe, gave graphic descriptions of the magnificent reception which Kossuth met with in the City on Thursday, the Times dolefully charged them with getting up their accounts for continental circulation. It even had the impertinence to accuse them of having written their descriptions before the events took place. The Sun reporters, in particular, must have been remarkably gifted men, if they did this, for among the incidents of the day which they recorded was that of the burning of the Times in Printing-house-square, and other places. If they could have anticipated an occurrence of this nature, and also pointed out the very spot, and the hour, and all the attendant circumstances,—they must possess the gift of prescience. Such men must be invaluable accessions to any newspaper establishment. We congratulate our contemporary on his good fortune, in having retained the services of gentlemen possess ing intellectual powers of so very rare and enviable a kind. But seriously, the insinuations that either of our two evening contemporaries, wrote their descrip tions before the events took place, is an unwarrant able piece of impertinence on the part of the Times. That journal has no right to judge of others by itself. Its conduct is not their rule. If it knows itself to be capable of conduct so reprehensible, that will not warrant the inference that other journalists are equally lost to honesty and honourable principles. COURT CIRCULAR.

TO CORRESPONDENTS " F.R."—Sympatiaizing though we do most cordially with our correspondent's enthusiasm, we must nevertheless altogether discountenance his suggestion. A grand banquet would be wholly out of the question just now anywhere in the metropolis, from the ill health of the great exile and by reason of his speedy departure for the United States—in the Crystal Palace, however, it would under the most favourable circumstances be wholly out of the question, seeing that that building was constructed not for the purpose of insulting any single one among the European powers—be that power Austria or be it Russia—but with a view to the diffusion of sentiments of amity among all the various races of Christendom.

Among the most significant of these, in many respects, was the one which yes terday collected together 30,000 persons—for the most part members of the working-classes—in the Copenhagen-fields, for the purpose of according a public welcome to KOSSUTH, as the representative, or we might call him the very incarnation of the spirit of liberty among the nations of the continent. For many reasons it might have been desirable if a little more regard had been paid by his admirers to the feelings of the distinguished man now residing in the metropolis; but, apart from the importunity shown by them to offer him personally some expres sion of their homage —an importunity under the cir cumstances of bis ill-health rather inconsiderate, to say the least of it—the respectful and enthusiastic bearing of the crowd towards him yesterday could not possibly be otherwise than a source to him of the sincerest gratification. Everything, it will be seen by a glance at the report, went off to universal satisfaction in the proceedings of the open-air meeting, and the result cannot but be an additional assurance to the Absolutist Powers of Europe that the feel ing of the people of England in regard to the interests of Hungary is very deep-seated indeed, a feeling cherished among all classes throughout the community, and one the intensity of which necessi tates its articulation upon all available opportunities.

Then will the prejudices that h 0 therto prevailed be effectually removed, and ifi° l3ll/ 0 , of all denominations freely participate in the theirberi for which they are indebted to the liberality of y ,_ most gracious SOVEREIGN, and the of her Ministers—more especially of the be ofl of Irish Government, his Excellency the O r judicious ad the signally recognised than at Copenly4gen-6i ids yester- day, where he had to rqly to the cougratuintory address of the working men of London, and in doirg so to avoid with the most scrupulous eaudon any iden tification of himself v.i'h any one particular party in the United Kingd , m. This is the more gratifying in remembrance, from oiie or two of the incid , nts afterwards connected with the c,,rrying out of the banquet given towards evening at the Hi k . ! hbury-barn Tavern in honour of the release from captivity of the expatriated Hungarian. It will be observed, we doubt not, with emotions of indignation, that in the list of toasts given during that de mocratic festivity, all allusion to the SOVE REIGN of these realms was scrupulously avoided, not one amongst the company there assembled drink ing to the health of her Most Gracious Majesty Queen VICTORIA. The villainous taste revealed in the fact of this omission cannot, we feel assured, be too earnestly reprobated under e xisting circum• - stances. For, apart from the political claims of the Moriaßen upon popular regard, her political claims might surely be considered sufficient in all conscience to entitle her to some such customary civility as the one the contempt f.r which we are just now lamenting—for it must be admitted upon all hands, by Republicans not less than by Absolutists, that our beloved Sovereign the QUEEN will be enrolled by the future historian, and justly, as one of the most liberal- minded and enlightened among the crowned heads of Great Britain. Under these considerations it was somewhat injudicious, or, we might even add, somewhat indecent to associate any tribute to Louis KOSSUTH with a direct and delibe rate insult to the QUEEN of the country in which that great man has met with a reception so peculiarly cor dial and magnanimous. Happily but small regard will be paid to any opinions of the kind here intimated, seeing the com plexion of the meeting last night in the tavern already particularized. Among the well-known par ties wbo bad been invited scarcely one appears to have availed himself of the privilege. Lord DUDLEY STUART refrained from the pleasure of attendance ; as also did the Hon. W. H. WALKER, and Mr. W. J. Fox, and Mr. GEORGE DAWSON, and Mr. CHARLES GILPIN, and even Mr. GIUSEPPE MAzzlNl—the most noticeable of those present being, for France Mr. Louis BLANC, and for England Mr. G. W. M. REY NOLDS. Thus terminated the proceedings of yester day, with a demonstration very different indeed from one simply in behalf. of KOSSUTH and his heroic Hun garians. Before closing our remarks of to-day in reference to the Magyar demonstrations taking place just now in various parts of the United Kingdom, we conceive it to be advisable simply and briefly to remind some among the public who appear to be rather oblivious of the fact, that KOSSUTH is not a Rebel but a Patriot, not an advocate of anarchy but a champion of Constitutional Government, not a Communist but a Statesman, not a lover of Terrorism but en enthusiast in the cause of Liberty. It is in that character that he has been received so warmly amongst us in this country, and in that character that he possesses to our thinking a right to this magnifi cent reception—a tribute offered not by a body of conspirators to an insolent and lawlea demagogue— but one tendered by a free people to an upholder of popular rights and of national independence. Whatever may be the feelings of the Ceheezes and the MACHALES, with respect to " the godless colleges," we rejoice to find, that not only is the value of the sound practical education bestowed therein tho roughly appreciated, but that other and by no means trivial advantages are offered to successful students. It was recently our pleasing duty to notice an act c f great liberality on the part of the President of the Board of Control, who, at the solicitation of his Excellency the Earl of CLARENDON, kindly bestowed his nomination to a writership in India as a reward to the most meritorious student, thus holding out the strongest stimulus to honourable emulation, and, at the same time, securing a talented servant to the distinguished company with which he (Lord BROUGHTON) was connected. We would now allude to the privilege conceded, not as a premium fur any extraordinary acquirements, but to all who, having gone through the prescribed courses and received the ordinary testimonial, intend becoming members of either branch of the legal profession. The degree,. of the Queen's University are to all inten's and pur poses thus rendered, so far as Ireland is concerned, as valuable as the degrees of its senior sisters, Oxford, Cam bridge, and Trinity College, Dublin, and we trust that the benebers of Lincoln's Inn, Gray's Inn, and the Middle and Inner Temple, may speedily adopt simi• lar regulations to those which have just been promul gated by their Irish brethren. So fir as attorneys and solicitors were interested, the Legislature itself afforded a laudable precedent. It was justly considered that something more than a mere professional education was required to quality persons for the proper discharge of the arduous a❑d important duties and avocations that might devolve upon them in their positions as confidential advisers of families—the depositaries of the greatest trusts—on whose integrity and ability the entire fortunes of their clients might altogether depend. More general information than that which could be obtained from the strictest attention to the duties of the office, and the most minute acquaintance with the rules and practice of the different courts, was exceedingly desirable, but it could not well be rendered indispensable. The imposition of a new restriction might possibly be regarded as invidious, and bring a degree of odium on the insti tution it was intended to serve. The only practical mode of attaining the desideratum was, therefore, to concede privileges to those who had gone through the appointed curriculum, which by diminishing the time or expenditure otherwise necea sary, might act as a sufficient inducement to the rising generation to avail themselves of the sound practical information thus placed within the reach of persons of all creeds and of every shade and variety of opinion, and that without offending the conscien tious scruples of any. By an Act passed last session (14 and 15 Vic., chap. 88) it was provided that any person who had obtained the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Queen's University in Ireland might be admitted as an attorney or solicitor in that country, on serving an apprenticeship of three years in place of five, which would otherwise be required. The drudgery of the office, where boys fresh from school derived very little benefit during the earlier portions of their servitude, as well as the heavy stamp duties and f era to the masters, might thus be postponed for two years, while the youths would have full op• portunities of ascertaining their own capabilities, and, what was by no means less important, of know ing their own minds, before heavy, and possibly useless, expenditure was incurred. A further con cession was also made, allowing one year's time to those who should attend the lectures, and pass the examinations of the law professors of the green's Colleges, either as matriculated or nonmatriculated students. The time occupied would thus not be, thrown away, although the pupil might not complete his education, or obtain the degree which the university was enabled to confer. Nor was the pri vilege confined to the sister kingdom, for graduates of the Queen's University were declared entitled to similar advantages to those previously enjoyed by the three senior Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin. But though provision was thus made with respect to one branch of the legal profession, Parliament did not interfere with the a dmissions to the bar. These were still left in the hands of the benchers of tbe dif ferent societies, who it was hoped would exhibit a laudable alacrity in following in the course on which the Legislature of the United Kingdom had entered. This reasonable expectation has been completely ful filled, so far as Ireland is concerned, and we have no doubt that the several learned bodies on this side of St. George's Channel will adopt similar regu lations. Graduates cf the Queen's University are now admissible to the Irish bar on serving twe've terms (six in Ireland and six in England) ; while seventeen (nine in Ireland and eight in England) would be required from persons who could not pro duce such a testimonial, or one from the other uni versities already alluded to. It is, in fact, now placed on preciAely the same foot ing with those highly fdvourcd establishments so f r as both branches of the legal profession are concerned, and we sincerely hope that its degrees will be CLARENDON.
