It stated in 'detail the reductions which had been made, in consequence of a resolution of the House of Commons, in the allowances to some of the refugees; and that under the promise of assistance, and the successful efforts of Lord Dudley Stuart, the rigour which was in tended to have been exercised in some cases had been mitigated. It referred to the fact, that, notwithstanding the positive proofs of their good conduc t,a different mea sure of benevolence had been dealt out to the Poles from that which had been acted upon with respect. to the French and other political refugees; that the attacks and calumnies upon the Poles were strongly sus pected of having proceeded from the agents of foreign statesmen. Many of the ladids whB formerly patronised the balls had made dona tions, with more assurances of interest. That the number of refugees in this country had been much increased in consequence of the expulsion of the Poles by many continental powers ; that the conduct of the refugees had been very exemplary, many of them being engaged in honourable and useful paofessional employment ; and the report called special attention to some specimens of silk exhibited on the table, the result of valuable im provements introduced by Count de Brono Bronski, after years of patient and laborious investigation on the breeding and treatment of the silkworm; Count Bronski had received testimonials to the great value of his improvement, both from the Go vernment of France and from many scientific institu tions in that country, as well as from the Society of Arts in England. Amongithe losses by death was that of Mr. Denison, who had watched the promulgation of the constitution on the 3d of May, 1791, and had continued ever afterwards to take a deep interest in the struggle of Poland to throw off the yoke of those who were determined to dismember and enslave her, as the only mode of checking her progress in liberty and civi lization. The report concluded with an.animsted account of the assistance given by the Poles in East.rn Europe to the cause of liberty and real order, not only by their brilliant exploits in arms, but also in their judicious diplomacy, which had in a great measure counteracted the insidious attempts of the agents of the Czar, for his own ulterior purposes, to create disturbances in the provinces of the Danube. The statement of accounts showed the income cf the association for the past year to have been 5911. Is. I Id.; expended in relief of refu gees, 3391. 7s. 6d. The number of refugees was now above 460; of whom 233 received assistance from the Treasury, and only 14 from the association. In the last named number there were 8 children." cause. It was, "That the Right Hon. Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., be re-elected President of the As sociation."—(Cheers.) It was quite idle for him to at tempt to express in language suitable to the occasion the deep obligations which the Poles were under to that dis tinguished nobleman.—(Hear, hear.) It was equally a source of gratification to them that they had the honour of numbering him amongst their own countrymen, and seeing him at all times expressing the national sympathy for an unfortunate nation, which it was their delight as Englishmen always to convey to a people suffering from misfortune or oppression. Lord Dudley Stuart had in variably led the way, not only in expressing such feelings, but also in the pursuit of means calculated to give effect to the expression of English sympathy, and in placing him at the head of this association, which they were moat happy to do, they were not only ex pressing their own gratitude to him for his past services, but at the same time they were expressing to him their high sense of the abilities which had placed him in the post of distinction which he had so well earned and so ad mirably filled.—(Cheers.) They must all feel, on pe rusing the report, sentiments of mingled gratification and regret at the prospects of hope which the last two or three years had opened up to the Poles, only to be blighted in the end. They had, therefore, much to regret, but at the same time the expressions which were given by the Poles to their claims for.indepen denceduring the war, which unhappily bad met with so disastrous a termination, had received sympathy and ob tained approbation in all parts of the world.—(Hear.) He trusted then that they were now labouring under a temporary depression only, and he yet hoped to wit ness their ultimate restoration, an expectation which both wisdom, reason, and calculation, taught them to en courage.—(Hear, hear.) He could not help thinking that the period was not far distant when better pros pects will open up to the ill-fated nation, and therefore, in the meantime, while they deeply regretted the darken ing cloud that now hung over Polish interests, they should take care not to be much depressed as to prevent their so exerting themselves still to insure the sympathy of the great and the good, and the ultimate triumph of their glorious cause.—(Cheers.) He was sure their exertions would ever be ably seconded by the assistance of their valued friend Lord Dudley Stuart, and it was therefore with the utmost gratification that he now exercised the high privilege which had been entrusted to him of moving the resolution which he, had already mentioned.— (Cheers.) Mr. WILLcox, M.P., rose with much pleasure to second the motion.—(Hear, hear.) He was quite sure, however, that any eulogium from him uporetheir Noble and excellent Chairman would be as superfluous as it would be in bad taste.—(Hear , hear.) It was not merely that they knew him, it was not only that they well knew the exertions be had made in the cause of Poland, but they were also aware that he had been the friend of civil and religious liberty during the whole of his life.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said it might seem rather strange to put this resolution himself, but it was nevertheless his duty to do so. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAtRMAN then proceeded to acknowledge the compliment 55 follows :—Gentleman, since it has been your pleasure to elect me to this office, which I am un feignedly proud to fill, much prouder indeed than I should be to-fill some other effice which would confer more bril liant distinction, it will not appear at all strange that I should endeavour to return you my best thanks for this renewed proof of your confidence in me.—(Hear.) I may be allowed, in the first place, to make my acknowledg ment to my honourable friends Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Willcox, who have moved and seconded the resolution in terms so extremely flattering. I assure them that I am much flattered at this mark of their good opinion, although I cannot but be aware that their partiality has led them to speak too favourably of me.—(No, no.) But, however that may be, certainly I will not re pudiate the merit of doing all that I can in behalf of this association and the object which it professes to have in view. —(Hear, hear.) It has been observed by some of the gentlemen in their addresses—and justly observed-ee' that the objects of this association have been much mis understood and very much misrepresented to the world both in print and otherwise, but still it cannot be dis puted that your objects are such as really deserve the support of all men of reflecting minds, who are anxious that the faith of treaties should be respected throughout the world—who are anxious ;that the rights of nations should be maintained—who are anxious that rational liberty should flourish, and who are anxious to assist a number of refugees brought toj their sad and solitary condition of exiles through having endeaved to main • tain the right. , of their oountry.—(Cheer For such an object as I have just described this association was established—to afford to men in that unhappy condition some solace under their misfortune, and of assisting them to secure a subsistence.—(Hear, hear.) Those who are anxious that this country should be saved from , what I cannot but consider a disgrace, namely, that men coming here under such circumstances, driven here by such causes as have already been described, to seek in this country that shelter and support which England has been renowned as prolonging lru thgi for affording to the fugitive in all ages , sh ou l d b e m e t by a cold reception, and allowed to p ine awa y in destitution in the midst of so much ric hes, brilliance, and s p lendou r , will readily give their hea rt y su pp ort to this associa tion.—(Cheere.) Now the s e ar e the ob j ects cf this as sociation, and we pursue these objects not blindly , not without consideration, not - without examination. — (H« ar, hear.) We are certainly disposed to view with indulgence the conduct of the refugees.—(Hear, hear.) We do not think it is part of our duty to be extremely severe in marking out what co urse of conduct ought to be followed, or to mark with displeasure every little act that is done amiss, but at the same time we take care that the line we adopt should not in any degree encourage either idleness, Cr, p till lees, immorality. — (Hear, hear.) I do not think that anything we have done has had that eff•ct. The r e f u gees know that it has been the practice of this association, in distributing the funds committed to its charge, to take great pains, upon all occasions , to inc ulcate upon them the necessity and desireableness of orderly behaviour ; and whenever it is possible of secu rin g for themselves the means of su b s istence by the exercise of their own exertions , — glad to think that this end great many instances. (Cheers.) s h e ers.) been accomplished,a am exceedingly in a I have several observations to address to you upon this su bject, which I have by no means exhausted, but I will endeavour, before we separate, t o ' fi n d an o pportunity of continuing this part of my discourse, whiO, with your permission , I shall interrupt at the present mo ment. The reason Ido so is one which I feel proud of. I have just had the satisfaetioa of seeing enter this room two Noble Lords, Peers of Parliament, who, I know, have hurried up from the House of Lords, in order to be present on t h i s occasion. —(Cheers.) I am aware that t h e ir time is precious, that they are obliged to return s h or tly to their duties in the H ou s e o f Peers, and I, th e refore, feel satisfied I shall best consult the wishes of t my address now, but a t once t o make way, em an opportunity of a dd ress i ng ou. The the meeting, and the interest of the association by not e iv E e arl of lIARROWEY then ro se t o move the next re solution, o bserving that the notice he had received of it was so e xtremely short that h e h ar dly knew how t o address them. —( He Th e CHAIRMAN — It is to accommodate you. The Earl o f HARROWBT was exceedingly obliged for that mark of a ttention. At the same time the resolu tion which had been put into hi s hands was one upon ar, hear.) which he could speak in the must unhesitating strain. It was this:— " Th a t the Sultan, by refusing to abandon to the vengeance of the Czar the Polish refugees who had served in Hungary, has earned the thanks of all friends to Poland, and deserves the respect and gratitude of all t ( h c e h lovers eern. of ) N j the civilized world." thought it required very little to be said to call for the unhesitating approbation of the meeting. He was sure their own feelings had been kindled tw m a h 7 left for an with a sense of pride and satisfaction, that of all ouwsticheeand liberty i n princes it should have been left to the Sultan to respect ni s n t g ate s nr w of h e a s t sin t g hey Mahomedani sm , the rights of nations, and preserve good faith with the s h ti home.— (Cheers.) almost e when ( re C r h eg ee e r e s.) It wastyrannypatnbfuad over driven him from call Eastern n prince, un o ivih r z e e i d g affording a home to the refugee, but the p a i n was counterbalanced by the k no wledge that the natural in stinct of man to do good prevailed in the Easts— (Cheers.) It was painful to find Christian princes re fuse that succour and concession which was found in the capital of the Sultan, but in some degree it was gratifying to filed that at least two great civilized na tions in the West of Europe had no small share in strengthening, in supporting,.hhd f ortifying of that potentate in the East, se t hat if he had in any way doubted his power to carry out the instincts of his own honest feeling, he would have found security in the as surance of our own and the French ambassador, that his feelings were fully sym pathised with by those two nations of the West, and, in case of need, their support would be given him in an effective manner.—(Cheers.) Perhaps he ought not to omit that opportunity of pay ing a tribute of admiration and attachment to one gen tleman who had taken a leading part in this transaction. It was a satisfaction to hi m to know that a private friend of his own had assisted in the good work, no other indeed than Sir Stratford Canning, who was tho gentleman to whom ho referred.—(Cheers.) It was indeed a satisfaction to him, as a private friend, to be able to mention Sir Stratford Canning as one who on all occasions had vindicates the honour of England and the interests of humanity, as connected with ques tions in the Esst.—(Cheers.) He did not believe there was a man in Europe who could be so effectively relied on, not only for his honesty of intention, but for his sa gacious perception of the true interests of this country. —(Hear, hear.) He regretted that the glimmer of hope for Polish independence raised in so many breasts a short time ago, should have been extinguished; st ill i t was satisfactory to speak of the protection which had been afforded to the Polish exiles. Though British sympathy might have been a little deadened by ex haustion, he was confident that, in the hour of need, it would be, found that it was not totally extinct.—(Cheers.) Lord BEAUMONT seconded the motion, remarking that he could not help thinking that it was a matter of congratulation both to his Noble Friend who had just sat down and himself, that they should have arrived at the very moment when this resolution was about to bemoved, because he looked upon the event to which it alluded AS the 910 pyjitgry blig4 PIM § Y er 7 4 1 4 k. P9aucl - the one single star in a bleak black night=the one gleam of hope in a time of despair.— (Cheers.) For, whatever might have been their feelings this time twelve months, he was sorry to say the present, as far as he could judge, was anything but propitious. The aspect of affairs now certainly partook not of the brightest hues. After the struggles which had taken place in Hungary, after the hopes which had been raised by the progress of events in Germany, they were now, at the end of two years of continual suspense, reduced to the confession that as far as Poland aas concerned the restoration of her nationality was further off than ever.—(Hear, hear.) But though that might be the light in which they were bound to view the existing circumstances, they should do nothing that was calculated to discourage the con tinuance of the efforts required for the attainment of the final object they all had in view, notwithstanding that it seemed to recede the nearer they seemed to approach it.—(Hear, hear.) He urged them not to neglect the opportunities which the present state of things in Ger many offered them for making known their objects. Let them by all means avoid raising there the mere question of nationalty; rather let them direct their ener gies towards obtaining free institutions for Germany— for once let free institutions be established in the north of Germany, and they would be in a position to claim their rights and make known their feelings nearer to the scene of their former misfortunes.—(Hear, hear, and cheers,) Their voice heard there would prove far more effectual than if raised here, however well supported it might be, or however well backed up might be their opinions in France or elsewhere—(Hear, hear)—therefore, as far as his advice went, he urged them to do nothing which was likely to throw obstacles in the way of the patriots of the North of Germany, whose inhabitants were struggling to establish their own rights in the creation of free in stitutions—rather let them do what little they could to co-operate with them in seeking to obtain, not only the advantages of such free institutions for Germany, but also of making the cause of the Polish people op portunelyj heard and felt a little: nearer to the scene of their former misfortunes.—(Loud cheers.)_ When he remembered that Poland was occupied by a hostile army, and had little hope from the West of Europe, little hope from France, which seemed to aim at restoring the most absurd absolutism in the world, instead of supporting the liberal movement which had of late originated in that country—in that state of affairs the prospects of the friends of Poland were gloomy in deed, and therefore, as he had previously asserted, it was a matter of congratulation to himself and his Noble Friend who had just preceded him, that they had placed in their hands a resolution which referred to one of the greatest and most glorious events of modern times. Turkey was now making more rapid progress in civilization than many parts of Western Europe, and from his individual experience he knew that liberty was much more respected there than it was in other countries. Above all, it was a nation which regarded the great moral rights of humanity, and which had courage sufficient to set at defiance the threats of a powerful neighbour, and whose determination was not to be subverted, even though she might be deserted and abandoned by other powers. Stich was the proud posi tion which Turkey took, and only those who had made themselves familiar with the transaction to which he re ferred were aware of the extreme difficulties which sur rounded the Porte. Every possible step was taken by Russia to embarrass the Porte. Inducements were made, threats were uttered, and promises were held out, but they all signally failed—the Mahommedan stood firm to his word and his religion.—(Cheers.) He did not abandon that fine passage in the Koran which told him that hos pitality was one of his great duties; he did not abandon that instruction of his Prophet, that a word once given cannot be broken unless at the peril of the breaker.— (Cheers.) He stood firm in that position, setting an example to Western Europe, and an example, which, he ventured to think, would not be idle. Turkey had risen by the step which she had taken, and had pointed out to other nations that whatever dangers might surround them, however dark and threatening the surrounding clouds might be, it was much better to brave the storm than to turn aside from the path of rectitude and honour, for as sure as they did aol that abandonment of the proper course would result in loss of credit, and eventu ally loss of advantages to themselves. Such appeared to him to be the nature of the example which she has set to the world; and had she acted otherwise, and attempted to violate the hospitality which the Poles and Hunga rians sought at her bands, she would have lost that re putation which by her conduct she has now unquestion ably sustained. It was therefore with peculiar pleasure that he re'erred to that bright spot in the conduct of Turkey; and he hoped, if any similar event occurred in the world, that other nations would remember the lesson now taught to them, and would not refuse their protec tion to those unfortunate refugees who had been struggling in a most hallowed cause, and were only driven to abandon .it by the mere overwhelming power of brute force.—(Hear, hear.) Such was the position of the Polish refugees, who were driven from the frontiers of Poland. They had a claim on the hospitality of every country iu Europe. a claim perhaps superior to the refugees from any other country, because all the world knew that the partition of Poland was a violation of the laws of nations, was a violation of Euro pean treaties, was a gross moral wrong done in the face of Europe, and which would have been undone or re venged if the powers of Europe bad had a proper sense of the struggle and of their duty; but they might be well assured that those nations had lost by being parties to the transaction, and that their policy had been since much shackled, and their position much injured, by the additional strength acquired by that power which was the natural enemy of civilization, progress, intelligence. and constitutional liberty. With this contrast between that power and Turkey, he would, without making any further comment, simply second the resolution.—(Hear.) The resolution was carried nein. con. _ The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON, in moving the adoption of the report, said he regretted to find that a very large number of Polish exiles would unfortunately not receive tbat amount of support which that association had been in the habit of giving to them, yet it was gratifying, at the same time, to know tbat several influential persons had originated a common fund, by which it was con t.( mplated both Polish and Hungarian refugees in this country would be placed in a position of comparative comfort as regarded their immediate necessities. He regretted to find that the Quarterly Review had gone out of its way to attack the association, and the more so, bemuse it attacked a body of a conservative character. The Poles were necessarily pure conservatives, and therefore ought to have had the support instead of the opposition of that important journal. A very extensive and powerful influence was exercised by the democratic press of England over the powers of Europe, and when, recently, the editor and proprietor of the Morning Past was appointed to the office of British Consul in Russia, the Emperor was peculiar gratified; for it so happened that the Morning Post was the only English newspaper which was admitted across the Russian frontier. To be sure, the Post might pass the Russian frontier and do very little harm to any person, except, indeed, they considered that no English journal could find its way into so barbarous a country without carrying with it something of the genius and spirit of our noble Anglo-Saxon institutions.—(Hear, hear.) He regretted to perceive that there had been no• ball, but the loss which the society might have sustained on that account had been counterbalanced by the substantial contributions of the ladies, and he felt satisfied that those ladies were infinitely more gratified in contributing to the great cause of charity in a pure form, than in a way which seemed to be characterised by a mere selfish spirit. It was to be regretted that an imputation had been thrown upon them that they were parties who en couraged revolutionary movements. Many, however, of the accusations against the Poles were to be attributed to the peculiarity of their position. Much odium had been thrown on General Bem because he had changed his religion, and a gentleman had said to him the other day, " Why, perceive what people these Poles are— they • have no religion, they entertain revolu tionary ideas, and they have no regard for the principles of orderly Government," but he (Dr. Worthington) told him to remember the position and circumstances of the Poles. They had been driven from their own country, and it was but natural to sup pose, when they found a constitutional nation like Hun gary struggling for its just rights, that they would assns to that struggle; and In ace it was that those who most distinguished theasselves in the Hungarian war were Poles. They were a people, among whom was seen all that remarkable energy, woriderhal talent, and extraordi nary ability which characterised a generalissimo in ar mies down to the ingenuity and industry exhibited by tke contriver of that beautiful silk material which had teen presented to the association by Count de Bronski, a Polish exile.—(Hear, hear.) The resources of the nation they would find extended to the fields of science, as well as to the realms of war, and the people were equally disposed to turn round at last, when nothing else was left them, and cultivate even the mechanical part of the arts of peace. No people de served greater commiseration than the Poles, for they were placed in a very - trying and cruel position. They were homeless and countryless; deprived of the delights of home as well as of intercourse with friends and with society. Why, it the Poles had turned out to be the monsters of the earth, he should not have been surprised, but at the present moment they were not the monsters but the marvels of the earth. As to the question of the extradition of Polish refugees from Turkey, and the threats exercised by Russia over the Porte, he (Dr. Worthington) thought these circumstances pointed out what a great power Russia was when it attained so much influence over civilized nations. The Czar seemed to act as dictator wherever he could, and this country, which he knew was wholly opposed to everything of a despotic character, formed almost the only check to the extraordinary power which he appeared to possess. What had been the issue of the Hungarian contest? The power of Russia was thrown at once into the scale, to prevent anything like a general or national expression of public feeling, and it was now likely that the people of Hungary would be reduced to the same contemptible state as that in which the population of Russia now existed, if the inroads of the great northern power were permitted. Poland, he regretted to say, had never been in a worse position than at present; but he did not altogether despond, and hoped rather that it might have pleased the Almighty Power to make Poland drink to the last dregs the bitter cup of sorrow, degradation, and misery, yet that Ho would eventually be pleased to re store her to her place among the nations of the earth, and give her again the power of the sceptre and the diadem. Mr. MOWATT, M.P., had great pleasure in rising to second the resolution that the report be received and adopted. The only pretence he had for assuming that office was simply the hearty success he wished the cause in which they were commonly enlisted, if he might use the phrase ; not that he felt at all in a condition to say anything upon the subject that could either be interest ing or instructive to those present, and he candidly ad mitted that he came there more as a matter of duty to represent the feeling of this country with regard to Poland than with any view of taking part in the pro eeedings.—(Hear.) He regretted, extremely, to hear from the reverend gentleman that the condition of the Poles at this moment was so unpromising and un fortunate; but thank God he was one of those who be lieved that nothing in this world was the result of chance; and he could not conceal from himself, when he looked at the past history of nations, that it was impossible that so noble a people as were the Poles could be banished from the face of the earth.—(Cheers.) He could not reconcile his mind to such a supposition or prognostica tion as that, since it was his firm conviction that the day was not far distant when the Poles, in some form or other, under some government or other, will again take up their position amongst the nations of the earth.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He did not feel that he could say any further to warrant the deten tion of the meeting, but in seconding this resolution, he thought it right to state that at all times he should have great pleasure in extending his means and abilities to as sisting the cause of Poland.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. PRITCHARD, High Bailiff of Southwark, had great pleasure, as an individual member of this association, in moving the next resolution, because it was one which immediately connected itself with the constitution of this society, while it expressed the sentiments of the society towards a gentleman, whose time, means, imci 'With 41 eiTt keen denied to the 1391i§h APPETITE AND DIGESTION IMPROVED.

On Tuesday last, Mr. Kidd, of Poland-street, Oxford-street, inventor of the " New Process for Illumi nating and Soldering Glass Mirrors, &c.," had the honour of submitting to her Majesty and Prince Albert, at Bucking ham Palace, some beautiful specimens of his embroidered glasses, ornamental tables, &c.

THE CLEARANCE SYSTEM IN IRELAND. —ln the county Clare, Sir Lucius O'Brien has 5,000 acres of land thrown on his hands which he cannot set, and is not able either to stock or cultivate it; and Lord Gort has 13,000 acres of land without a hoof On it except SOW wild deer.—Limerich Reporter. Captain TOWNSHEND, M.P., proposed the next reso ution _ _ " That the following noblemen be re-elected vice presidents of the association :—The Duke of Sutherland, the Marquis of Northampton, the Marquis of Breadal bane, the Earl of Scarborough, the Earl of Ilarrowby, the Earl Fitzwilliam, the Lord Panmure, the Lord Ash ley, M.P." Gloomy as the present prospects of Poland appeared, yet he could not despair of a brighter day when he found that so many noblemen had consented to become vice-presidents for the ensuing year. They comprised iu their body not only rank, but what was far greater and more valuable, intellect, integrity, and every other moral quality. Mr. R. MONCETON MILNES, M.P., cordinlly seconded the resolution, because it established one of the most impor tant facts which could,be recognised in these days, viz., that those gradations of society which were so seduously drawn in this country, and which made it in a certain sense the most aristocratic country in Europe, did not at the same time necessarily prevent them from sympathis ing with the interests of a great people, who wished to maintain such a form of society as the English constitu tion recognised, with a full sense of the importance of those two great blessings—nationality and liberty.— (Hear.) They would agree with him, that it was an honourable distinction as regarded England, that the cause of the Polish refugees should find considerable sympathy among the higher classes in this country, who were not naturally inclined to give their countenance to movements such as that in which the Poles were engaged. But the truth was, they knew no line of distinction could be drawn between the cause of order and the cause of liberty - , f)r without liberty there was no order. At a time when many'persons throughout Europe were attempting to draw a great distinction between the cause of order and the cause of liberty—a distinction which he would never consent to recognise —(Hear, hear)—it was most grati fying to find ten English noblemen, of such respectabi lity of station, political eminence, and intellectual capa city, who were willing that their names should go forth to Europe as the vice-presidents of this association—a proof that the sympathy of England in the cause of Poland did not proceed from any temporary fancy or excitement, but from a strong and permanent sense of the injustice of the ancient partition of Poland, and the conviction that Europe had been the sufferer fur it ever since. —(Cheers.) The actual condition of the Polish exiles was a strong and solemn protest in the face of God and man against the crime of attempting to deprive a people of their nationality, and a pledge to Italy and other countries labouring under oppres sion, that they would eventually be enabled to throw off the yoke under which they groaned.--(Hear, hear.) A philosophic statesman could not review the events of the last three years in Europe without coming to the conclusion that, on the whole, a greatdeat had been gained, and that the spirit of constitutional liberty had received a far wider extension than could have been anticipated three years ago.—(Cheers.) No long period would elapse before some advantageous change would take place for Poland ; it was impossible for oppression to last continually, even with s afety t . o the power that oppressed. — (Hear , hear.) The expe ence of late years in Europe had pr oved two things—th at every at every nation, except Russia, was determined to work out a combination of the two principles of liberty and na tionality, and that the Christian and m oral sense of Europe had great cause to congratulate i tself on the moderation with which the people had used their power, when cities and whole provinces bad been left unpro t-cted in their hands.—(Cheers.)

Mr. FERGUSON said be re g retted, with the rest of the speakers, that at a time when more assistance was re quired their' means were more limited, and alluded es pecially to the withdrawal by Parliament of that small assistance which had hitherto been given to those brave me n, who, if they had retarded their own convenience and interest in preference to the rights of a nation, might now be in the possession of those comforts and enjoyments which a few years back they were enabled Ito command. Mr. Ferguson concluded by moving the election of the Council for the ensuing year. Mr. EDLIN supported the resolution, He said after being two years absent from England, and in a tropical climate, he was greatly delighted to find himself again in that room, and in the presence of so many warm-hearted friends of Poland.

He had no doubt, if these people in that particular quarter of the world were epplied ti, that they would subscribe liberally on beha'f of the refuge es which this association had to support. Having lately visited Malta. he born testimony to the praiseworthy conduct of Earl Fortescue towards ten Hungarian exiles who reached the island after their extradition from Turkey, and who, at his intercession, were not only allowed to land—the Governor having in the first instance given directions to prevent their coming on shore—but procured them the means of proceeding on their journey. The resolution was put and carried. Lord I). STUART then rose to continue his observa tions, and said—l was observing, when the Noble Lords, Lord Beaumont and the E .r 1 of Harrowby, entered the room, that the excellent conduct of the Polish refugees in this country deserved great, commendation. I must say that nothing could be more exemplary than their conduct; and their enemies are, therefore, driven to re vile them for the course they pursued on the Continent, and that in no scrupulous manner. I might refer to msny misrepresentations which have been circulated by the friends of Russia and Austria in public papers, and I have no doubt that these misrepresentations have had an effect, and a most injurious effect, on the public mind, but on the present occasion it will be unnecessary. In these days, when so much disturbance exists in Europe, I may say in all countries except our own, more happily blessed by better institutions, which respect the rights of the Monarch on the throne as well as of everyone under her benificent sceptre, we have not had such disorders and disturbances as have occurred on the continent, and as have arisen, I think, by the misconduct of princes and rulers. But as we have no occasion to battle for our rights in the way which was adopted on the Conti nent—that is to say, with arms—and though such rights and ameliorations as the people think desirable here are generally attained by more legitimate, but not less effi cient means, still the echo of what has taken place throughout the different countries of Europe is such as has alarmed very considerably many friends of :order in this country; and as in many of these commotions—in the most legitimate and most justifiable—the Poles have taken a very successful and brilliant part, people began to think they were possessed of great power, and they accordingly dreaded the exercise of that power. Hence it is, that when the Poles have taken a part in the commotions of other countries, people have been anxious to represent them as anar chists, as men desirous only of overthrowing governments and thrones, and who have no other motives for so doing but aggrandisement, rapine, and plunder. Now, I say, their cannot be a greater misrepresentation. If they have taken a part in the various disturbances, commotions, and wars on the Continent, they have done so always on a principle which no Englishman can deny or impugn, viz., of doing all in their power to re cover the rights, the liberties, and independence of their own countrymen.—(Hear.) Of course, I do not speak of individual cases. In all countries there are bad, interested, and misled men; but I say, as a body, the Poles have en no occasion taken up arms except with the intention of aiding liberty, because if liberty be established and flourish, will a beneficial influence not be exercised over the destinies of their own country? It is absurd to suppose they want anarchy or confusion, but I ask if liberty be'firmly established throughout Europe will Po land not be benefitted? If we established a free constitu tion in the remotest part of the world it would have an effect upon Poland, and, therefore, it was but natural that the sons of Poland should be found under the banner of freedom wherever it is unfurled. I speak here of the principle, but it is another question whether in all cases it is wise and prudent to engage in struggles for freedom. I would not advise the Poles to take up any cause in which there is little reasonable chance of success; but would, on the contrary, urge them to weigh the probabili ties of success well before they sacrifice their lives, their liberties, or their blood, because if they are not suc cessful, they do more harm than good; yet in most of the inatances in which the Poles have engaged in welfare, a direct influence has been exercised on the destinies of their own country. First of all there was the Hun garian war. The Poles were encouraged by the strug gle of the noble sons of that great nation, which may be considered the sister of Poland, and to which this country, I think, ought to have shown itself a sister. —(Hear.) I believe if more support had been given to the brave Hungarians by this country—as real na tional and efficient support as was nobly given by the Poles—l believe Hungary would at this day ,tiffsrd a bright end noble example of a great, free, and constitutional country. established in the hi art of Europe; and what doubt cats I have, if that was the case, that the reestablishment of the Polish consti tution would follow in a very short time?—(hear,he ar.) Every year we have assembled here I have directed your attention to the conduct of the Emperor of Russia; every }ear there has been some new crime to stain his career. —(hear, hear.) Some persons have sad to me, " Well, what new reproach will you have to make against the Czar at the next annual meetiog? You will have to go over the same ground again." I replied, however, Don't be afraid, you may be sure that some great monstrous violation of the rights of liberty will be perpetrated by the Autocrat;" and since we met here last year what have we seen? Why, the greatest, the f ailest, the most out rageous violation of the rights of nations that has ever been attempted. Last year I called the atten tion of the public to what was going on in the principali ties of the Danube, pointing out that by the Emperor of Russia marching his troops into those countries he was committing a violation of the laws of nations—an un justifiable interference with the rights and independence of Turkey. I pointed it out to the Government and to the House of Commons. I denounced the proceedings 'to the public; and if the Government and the country had been as much alive to the subject as they ought to have been, I think a protest made to the Emperor of Russia against his conduct would have effectually pre vented his carrying out his designs in those prin cipalities, and establishing himself in a place from which he might better direct his attacks on Hungary. We ought never to have suffered him to take possession of Moldavia and Wallachia. lie did so chiefly in order that he might have an opportunity of attacking Hun gary; and having thus acquired a favourable position, he eventually made use of it, at first indeed with little sue• cese, because the gallant General Bens, at the head of the Hungarian army, was able to drive out the Rus sians wherever they entered, and attained some brilliant victories over them, which will not be forgotten as long as history continues to be read.—(Hear.) If you exa mine the conduct of the Emperor you will always find that when he commences any great enterprise, he always puts one foot 'a little before the other, just to see whether it would be safe to proceed further in his course. First of all the aggression is committed by some general in his service, without authority; then it is said orders are given to recall the troops; then we find the Government of England makes no objection; the troops remain w here they are instead of being with drawn; they advance gradually forward in their march, until at last the whole country is full of them, and le veiled by a body of marauders, to the destruction and misery of the inhabitants, Who are forced to main tain them at their own expense. I say, a more flagrant invasion of the rights of nations cannot be conceived. (Hear, hear.) But the matter did not end there. He marched his troops into Hungary, with which he had no sort of business or right what ever. I want to know by what right, by what reason, he interfered with that country. It was not by the law of metier?. The Hungarians were fighting with Aus tria for their rights and their independence.. It was not a civil war; it was a war o f one nation against another . , and by no pretence was th e Emperor Russia justi fied in interfering. Writers on international law laid it down that if there is any justification for the; inter ference of one country with the affairs of another, it is when the Sovereign of that country calls for and seeks for the assistance of an ally; but, in order to be the Sovereign of Hungary it is necessary for the individual claiming the throne to take an oath to support the constitution, and that was never done by the present Emperor. There fore, legally he was not the King of Hungary, and de fact o at the time the Austrians entered the country he was no t so, because the gallant Hungarians, with the assist ance of their Polish allies, had driven every Austrian out of the country, so that there was scarcely an inch of land on which an Austrian still remamed; and the Em peror of Russia, whose conduct called for the reproach and indignation of all, not satisfied with his violation of the rights of nations, and which, I may add, by treachery succeeded—because I believe if there had been no treachery in the Hungarian camp, he would not, with all his hordes of barbarians, have succeeded in putting down that gallant people, but at last, taking advantage of the dissensions which existed, he got possession of the country, and drove the gallant Hungarians and their brave allies out of the country, as exiles; not sa tisfied with that, I say, he makes a demand upon the Porte for the refugees who had taken shelter in the Turkish dominions; and Austria, who, I need not tell you, is the servant and handmaid of Russia, and acts, of course, in every respect as Russia requires, demanded that the brave Hungarians should be given up to her; and a similar demand was made by Russia with regard to the Poles. I rejoice, therefore, at the observation made by Lord 13,aumont regard the conduct of the Sultan in this matter. I think teat conduct deserves all praise, and I am glad to find it ie s r o . much appreciated in this country, because, thouedoenee, teenly the Sultan did not do all we wished in which case there would have been n e must fugees at present in captivity in Turkey t s o e 9 UhUtoDigbaawrian re the circum: have regard, in judging of his condu must not overlook stances in which he was placed. the fact that he was in a position ofW gerecactretenaibnarrtarsematei n es t , and that he was shackled by . think myself that which no doubt existed. tion of tho se a more just and liberal interpretation treaties would have set his t o allow such refugees hands free altogether, to act as he thought prop er ose and ornnion and such ii l-ees pleased to remain in his h were suscep leave to go forth freely.Bu i t the s, trelanes • tati9n.

Therefore, after the threats of these powers had been expressed very decidedly, and no support was offered from England or France, the Sultan was compelled to enter into some engagement from which he found it difficult to depart; but I believe, if ho had known how he would be supported, he would never have entered into such an engagement. He was in doubt as to what line of policy this country would pursue in re gard to those unfortunate exiles. I have already alluded to the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia; and I say, the rights of treaties and the rights of nations were as much violated by the armed invasion of those provinces as they were by the insolent demands for the extradition of those brave men; and if England had interfered in the former case I am not sure that Russia and Austria would have ventured to require such extradition ; but, unfortunately, the Sultan found himself compelled to come under engagements with those powers which he coal,' not well re:ede from. But let us consider what would have been the case if the Sultan had yielded to the insolent deineride if the Czar and given up the re fugees ; why, at this very moment could we suppose that the illustrious Kossuth would be alive--that ho would not have suff red the same lot as attended the great patriot Bathyanni? Can any one suppore that Austria, oleo could he so unscrupulous andsau i, g t u „ i r r i nariy in the one case, would hesitate for a single in the other? No, those brave men, Ko&ut h and Bathyanni, would ceraicle have lost their lives on the scaff Id, while the bet fate which would have attended Bern, Deuibinslti, and the ether brave Poles and Ilurigarian e en aged in the glorious cause, w ouid have b,en a mise rable end prolonged existence in Siberia. Something has been said with regard to a Noble Earl who showed great kindness to some of the Polish refugees at Malta. I am exceedingly glad of that, and if areeable to the meeting I will give some further details on the subject. The Polish refugees, having been expelled from Turkey at the demaed of Russia, were sent by the Turkish Go vernment t i Malta in a Turkish frigate uuder the care of Count Zamoyski. On arriving there the Governor at first thought he ought not to permit these men to land, and an order was given to that affect. Count Zamoyski wisely addressed a le,ter to the Go vernor on the subject, setting forth the reasons why such an order should not be enforced. Fortunately, Lord Fortescue was residing at that time in the island. He is a nobleman who has always been a friend of the Poles, and I am proud to say a member from the first of this association, and he has raised his voice more than once in the House of Commons in favour ot the Poles. When ho heard there was some difficulty about their receptien in the Leland, he offered to wait on the Governor in company with Count Zamoyski, and the result of their representations was that the Governor felt it right not to persevere in the order, and he, therefore, gave these refugees permission to land; and not only did he do that, but he furnished them with provisions and all those other comforts which they required, and , also chartered a vessel to bring them to this country. They will shortly arrive here, and no doubt they will be kindly rsceived; but I must say the friends of Poland ought to make additional exertions in order to provide for the wants and necessities of these men. lam sorry to find that on the Continent people are disposed at the bidding of the oppressors of Poland to hunt the Poles from one end of Europe to the other, so that no place of refuge is left for them but Great Britain. Great numbers of them have lately been sent through France by Switzerland, and many have taken refuge in Switzerland, where, no doubt, if the people were left to themselves, they would find a place of shelter, as they have already done for many years, but the representa tions and threats of the two despotic powers were such as to force that country to expel them; and I think it is no credit to the French that they have not allowed them to remain in France.—(Hear, hear.) They have been driven out there by force, and they came to our shores with their passports regularly signed, which have been given to them with an intimation that they were to proceed at once to England. Therefore, the number of Poles is increasing here every day. A considerable number arrived last week, and when those who are expected from Malta arrive, they will of course make a great accession to the number. Now, it is ex tremely difficult to say what is to become of these un fortunate men, and I wish I could receive any sugges tion or advice, or any aid, from hon. members of the association with regard to them. Allusion has already been made to the proposed reduction in the Parliamen tary grant. When it was first moved in 1634 it amounted to 10,0001.; it was afterwards raised to 15,0001., when there were nearly 700 Poles in this country. That number was reduced by deaths and departures from the country, and Parliament in consequence diminished the grant to within 6,0001. and 7,0001. A Committee of the House of Commons was appointed to take the subject of the grant into their consideration, and they have drawn up a report, in which they recommend that a great number should be struck off the list, so that there will remain only 173, instead ot 700, as formerly. lam glad to say the Government have not exactly adopted the report, and it is just possible the grant may not be cut down; indeed, I hope, instead of reducing the number to 173. there will be an additional 60 added to it, which will make altogether 233. llithero., those of the rank of captains and lieutenants, and under the rank of field-officers, received the magnificent sum of lOs , but the G.,vernment leave though:. proper to reduce even that. Yet we have a cer:itieat, from the medical oflio , r, in which ne stet t the paderics who come to him fur advice require noterng bum tood. We have enabled ago at reeve,' to leave th country, but German and Danish, as well as lluogai fan refugees are arriving c .nstantly. and the question is, how are they to liv• ? Since July last year, as many as 178 have come to this country who have, while here, been supported by the contributions of their richer countrymen in different parts of the world, and who, there fore, have not been indebted to British bounty for any assistance. There are many Polish noblemen whose f,,rtunes have not been confiscated, and some of these are travelling in Europe or other parts of the world, and they have stealthily contrived to remit sums of money to this country, and to place it in my hands, with full authority to apply it as I think best; and by , those means alone, and without any aid from the Bri tish people, they have been hitherto supported. Some have emigrated to America with funds supplied from the same source, some have obtained partial employment, and some have gone elsewhere, but the great mass are supported out of funds which allow a pittance .of 6d. a day to each, and this is granted to men of edu cation and of what people would call position in the world. It is, therefore, very desirable that they should go to some country where the resources are greater than they are here, and probably America is the best. Still, however, we have 178 in England at present, and that will be very considerably increased; and to en able even a small portion of them to emigrate a very large sum would be required. I must, however, mention that the railway and steam-boat companies have acted very generously towards these refugees, and have con sented to forward them free of charge to different places. Some have entered the service of France for the army at Algiers; but the Poles feel no sympathy with the em ployment, and it is unjust to taint them with remaining in this country while the French are ready to avail themselves of their services in that quarter, because it is, in fact, telling them, to take up arms against a people who have done them no harm, while in the sem i h e breath they condemn them with taking up .causes havelrishmen s entered the ranks of Austria , a nda e ny yet ne rep ac made against them.

Th e Noble Lord then referred, in very complimentary lan guage., to the gratuitous services of Mr. Young, the honorary surgeon to the association, who had assiduously attended the Poles in London in periods of sickness, and who was entitled to the warmest thanks of the meeting. He then congratulated the members on the occa sion of their meeting at the seventeenth anniver sary of the association, observing that they should not forget, at tiro same, time that they were com metnorating the establishment of a constitution which, though perhaps not perfect in itself, was said by the greatest writers and public men we had to contain the germs of all those future and desirable ameliorations which could he considered at all necessary. They would ell sympathise with him in the desire that that country should again be restored to liberty arid to independence, and he felt confident that though it would not be pru dent to predict the time when such might come to passe yet that the day, according to the decrees ot Providence, was still to shine upon the world.--(Cheers.)

Mr. EDMUND BEALES ecconded the resolution, and in doing so, said the statement of the medical officer had confirmed what he l:ad previously declared, and now receetecl, teat it was to the eternal disgrace of the liberal party in the House of Commons that they took active measures in forcing the Government to deprive the Polish refugees of the small stipend which the generosity of this country had given to them.—(Hear.) They were now told that the curse of starvation was on those un fortunate men, let that curse be laid at the door of those who induced the Government to diminish their means of support.—(Cheers.) He ho wev er truste d that the liberal party would yet make some expiation for the past by endeavouring to get an increased grant, which would
