He had no doubt, if these people in that particular quarter of the world were enplied te, that they would 'subscribe liberally on beha f et' the refute es which this association had to support. Having lately visited Malta, he bore testimony to the praiseworthy conduct of Earl Forteseue te wards ten Hungarian exilee who reached the island after their extreditien from Turkey, and who, at his intercession, were not only allowed to land—the Governor having is 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 D. STUART then rose to continue his observa tions, and said—l was observing, when the Noble Lords, Lord Beaumont and the E irl of Harrowby, entered the room, that the excellent conduct of the Polish refugees in this country deserved great commendation. I roust 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 many 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 f the Monarch on the throne as well as of everyone under her henificent 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' dopted 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, commotion:, and wars on the Continent, they have done so always on a principle which no Englishman can deny or impugn, via., 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 *eel: of individual cases. ln all countries there are had, interested, and misled men; but I say, as a body, the Poles have on 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 a ant anarchy or confusion, but I ask if liberty be firmly established throughout Europe will Po land not be bene fitted? 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 instances in which the Poles have engaged in warfare, 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 Hungarian; by this country—as real na tional and efficient support as was nobly given by the Poles—l believe Hungary would at this day efford a bright and noble example of a great, free, and constitutional country. established in the ht art of Devote; and what doubt can I have, if that was the case, that the re-establishment of the Polish consti tution would follow in a very short tirne?—(llear, hear.) Every year we have assembled here I have directed your attention to the conduct of the Emperor of Russia; every 3 ear there has been some new crime to stain his career.—(Hear, hear.) Some persons have :aid to me, " Well, what new reproach will you have to make against the Czar at the next annual meeting? 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 foultnt, the most out rageous violation of the riehts 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. He 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 wills little suc • cess, because the gallant General Been, 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 be commences any great enterprise, he always puts tone 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 a 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 in vaded by a body of marauders, to the destruction and misery of the inhabitants, who aro 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 nations. The Hungarians were fighting with Aus tria for their rights and their independence.. It another a civil war; it was a war of o n© nationr against a w n a o s f Russiajusti and by no pretence was the Emp fied in interfering. Writer s on i n ternational law laid it down' that if there is any justification for the ; it e, inter• ference of one country with the affairs of another,_ is when the Sovereign o f that country calls for and seeks for the assistance of an ally; but, in order to be tho 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, an d d e f ac t o at the time t he Austrians entered t'ae country he was not so, because th! gallant Hungarians, with th e 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 remcened; 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, ho 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, ho 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 Beaumont regarding the conduct of the Sultan in this matter. 1 think that conduct deserves all praise, and I am glad to find it isofor much appreciated in this country, becau se, though oene tainly the Sultan did not do all we wishe d he had d r e , in which case there would have been no Hu fugees at present in captivity in Turlsey, cireuml: have regard, in judging of its conduct, aga,r,ieanmus; t t notnos overlook stances in which he was placed.

TEIE CLEARANCE SYSTEM IN IRELAND:— In 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 COMO wild deer.—Limerick Reporter. cause. • It was, "That the Right Hon. Lord Dudley Coutts.Stuart, M.P., be re-elected President of the As. sociation."—(CheerF.) It was quite idle for him to at tempt to express in language suitable tb the occasion the . deep obligations which the Poles were under to that dis tinguished nobleman—(Fleer, bear.) It Ras equally 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 misf eune 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 bead of this associatioe, which they were most happy to do, they were not only ex pressing.their own gratitude to him fur 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 bo 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 forendepen deuce during the war, which unhappily had upet 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 ,labeuring under a e 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 P olish interests, they I 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 upon their 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 he 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 CHAIRMAN then proceeded to acknowledge the compliment as 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 office 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,; Cartain ca iy I. n wi behalf ll not thires - association and the object whi ch it p rofesses to hare in pudiate the merit .of doing ell that of view. —(Hear, hear.) It has been observed by some of the gentlemen in their addresses —and justly "much the objects of this associati on 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 numberAyfi refugees brought WI their sad and solitary condition of exiles through having endeavoured to main• tain the right "-Of- their country.—(Cheers.) 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 e misfortune, and of assisting them to secure a subsistence.—(llear, 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 for affording to the fugitive in all ages, should be met by a cold reception, and allowed to pine away in destitution in the midst of so much riches, brilliance, and splendour, will readily give their hearty support to this associa tion.—(Cheers.) Now these are the objects of this as sociation, and we pursue these objects not blindly, not without consideration, not without examination.— (1-I.sar, 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 course 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, still lees, immorality.— (Hear, hear.) I do not think that anything we have done has had that effect. The refugees 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 inculcate upon them the necessity and desireableness of orderly behaviour ; and whenever it is possible of securing for themselves the means of subsistence by the exercise of their own exertions,— gly glad to think that this end great many instances. I have several observat io ns to address to you upon t his ( h C as hce b rese.n) accomplished, I am eeeedi n in a subject, which I have by no means exhausted, but I will endeavour, before we separate, to: find an opportunity of continuing this part of my discourse, which, 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 bad the satisfaction 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 this occasion. —(Cheers.) I am aware that their time is precious, that they are obliged to return shortly to their duties in the House of Peers, and I, my address now, but at once to make way, therefore, feel satisfied I shall best consult the wishes of the meeting, and the interest of the association by not vgientghem an opportunity of addressing you . Earl of HanltOeftlY then rose to move the next re observing that the notice he had received of To extremely short that he hardly knew how to (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN —It to accommodate you.

At the same time the resolu- Sultan, by refusing to abandon to the aPsai t tonr i d o :Twddu n i :athgeilseoilswhichaddre s s the bad been been put into his hands was one upon which he could speak in the most unhesitating strain. It was this:— • ven"glettbnecte the ot the Czar the Polish refugees who had served in Hungary, has earned the thanks of all friends to Poland, and deserv es the res pect and gratitude of all the lovers of justice and liberty in the civilized world." (Cheers.) Now he 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 with a sense of pride and satisfaction, that of all princes it should have been left to the Sultan to respect the rights of nations, and preserve good faith with the refugee when tyranny bad driven him fro m his home.— s (Cheers.) It was pa inful to know that it was loft for an Eastern over what they mi g ht a l mos t call uncivilized reigning over professing Mahomed an i sm , r ig affording a borne to the r efu g ee, but t he pain _was coun t er b a l anc ed by the kn owled g e that the .natUral in stinct of man to d o good prevailed in the East.-+ (Cheers.) It was painful to find Christian princes ree Luse that succour and concession which was found in the capital of the Sultan, but in some 'degree it was gratifying to find that at least two great-wilized nat . tions in the West of Europe had no 'oo,all 'hart; in strengthening, in supporting,. he ytd fortifying of that potentate in the East, so that if had i 4 any "St doubted his power to carry out the instineta of his own honest feeling, he would have found security,,in the ass surance of our own and the French ambassador, that his feelings were fully s ympathised with by those two nations of the West, and, in case of need, their support would be given him in an effective ictinner,-ev kCheers.) Perhaps he ought not to omit that opportunity of ray ing a tribute of admiration and attechmetit to one gen. tleman who had taken a leading rani's' thitittansaction. It was a satisfaction to him to kooiv that a p r i va t e friend of his own bad assisted in 'the' •good work, no other indeed than Sir Stratford Qtwx,ino., who was the gentleman to whom he refeere4.,..- (Cheers.) It was indeed a satisfaction to him, as a private friend; to be able to mention Sir St ratford 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 East.—(Cheers.)

He regretted that the glimmer of hope for Polish independence raised in so many--breasts a short time ago, should have been extinguished ; still it was satisfactory to spesk o f the protection Which had hem a ff orded 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 moeolt, remarking that he could not help thin kin g that it was a matter of congratulation both to his Noble Friend whi htid just sat down and himself, that they should hare arrived at the very moment when this resolution was about to be moved because he looked upon the event to which it alluded as the one solitary bright spot in a very dark ground— I LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF POLAND. The eighteenth annual meeting of the Literary Asso • ciation of the Friends of Poland was held on Friday afternoon at Sussex Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's; Lord Dudley Stuart, the President of the Association, in the chair. - Among Chase present, besides the Noble Chairmen, we observed—the Earl of Harrowby, Lord Beaumont, Captain Townshend, R.N., M.P.; Colonel Salwey, M.P.; Sir Benjamin Hall, Barr., M.P.; R. Monckton Ribes, Esq., M.P.; Francis Mowatt, Esq., M.P.; B. M. Will cox, Esq , M.P.; J. Williams, Esq.. M.P.; William Pinney, Esq, M.P.; William Scholetield, Esq., M.P.; J. A. Smith, Esq:, M.P.; Rev.

Edlin, Esq.; Carrot Watson, Esq.; Edmund Bcales, Esq.; Thomas Young, Esq.; Edward Johnstone, Esq.; George Tyler, Esq.; William L. Birkbeck, Esq.; T. W. Willcock, Esq.; T. L. Murray, Esq.; W. S. Potter, Esq.; Edward Romilly, Esq., &e., Mr. W. L. BIRKBECK, the Honorary Secretary, read the Report of the Association, of which the following is an abstract:— " The report expressed the regret of the council that so few subjects of congratulation presented themselves. 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 ladies who formerly patronised the balls had made dona tions, with more assurances of interest. That the number of refugees in this covntry 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 th© 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 iuterest 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 areanimeted account of the assistance given by the Poles in Eastern 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 of the association for the past year to have been 5911. Is. lid.; 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." 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 t hat 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 that several influential persons had originated a common fund, by which it was con templated 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, because 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 M9rning Post 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-Ssxon institutions.—(Bear, 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. Bern 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 assist in that struggle; and hence it was that those who most distinguished themselves in the Hungarian war were Poles. They were a people, among whom was seen all that remarkable energy, wonderfal talent, and extraordi nary ability which characterised a generalissimo in ar mies down to the ingenuity and industry exhibited by toe contriver of that beautiful silk material which had been 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, fur 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, if the Poles had turned out to be the monsters of the earth, he should not have been surprised, hut 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 Basile 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, bad 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 He 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 ho felt at all in a condition to say anything upon the subject that could either be interest lug 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 ceedings.—(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 es 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 be 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 s a o n c d iet a y bi t u o t w y, ard h s to society, while it ex pressed the sentiments of the to the 1 ) 01411 aevegrentbleeemaan,deywohteolse time, means, PUBLICATIONS. vi R.

MAY 6, 1850.,'1 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 menthe, he was sorry to say the present, as far as he could judge, was anything but propitious. The especi of affairs now certainly partook not of the brightest hues. After the struggles which had taken place in Hungary, sf.er 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 was 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 direchtheir ener gies towards obtaining free institutions for Germany — for once let free institutions be Istablished in the north of Germany, and they would be in a position to claim their rights and make known their feelings "tearer to the scene of their former mioortunes.=-(lleat, hear, and cheers.) Tbeir voice heard there would prove far more effectual than if raised hers, however well supported it might be, or however well backed up might be their opinions in France or elsewhere-e-(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 caus,e of the Polish people op portunely 2 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. Such was the proud posi tion which Turkey took, and only those who bad 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 sot 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 bb 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 hands, 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 tererred 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 cf brute force.—(Hear, hear.) Such was the position of the I Polish refugees, who were driven from the frontiers Of Poland. They had a 'claim on the hospitality of every country in Europe, a claim perhaps superior to the refugees from any other country, because all the world knew that the p a rtition 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 had had a proper sense of the struggle and of their duty; but they might be well assured that those nations had lo.t 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, ho would, without making any further comment, simply second the resolution.—(Hear.) The resolution was carried nem. con. Captain TOWNEMEND, M.P., proposed the next reso lution : " 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 flarrowby, 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 e presidents for the ensuing y ear. They comprised in their body not only rank, but what was far greater, and more valuable, intellee, integrity, and every other moral quality. Mr.R.MoNcKTON MUSES, M.P., cordially 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 thocause of order and the cause of liberty, for 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 —(Hoar, 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 for it ever since. —(Cheers.) The actual coadition 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 gre atdeal 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 safety to thopower that oppressed.—(Hear, hear.) The ex xper at i ence of late years in Europe had p roved two things—th every nation, except Russia, was determined to work out a combination of the two principles of liberty and na soennsethofe t E io n n t :l p i e ty h , aadndgrthenatt causethe Christian moderation with which the People had used their power, when cities and whole provinces had been left unpro tecti3d in their hands.—(Cheers.) Every one of these circumstances seemed in some degree to light the gloom prespect, and to afford reason for, believing that, o gr a t a u n t a d t c moralt s e 1 f under Providence, there was still hope for the Pole. Mr. FERGUSON said he regretted, with the rest of the speaker;, 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 men, • who, if they had regarded 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 to 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 f so many warm-hearted friends of Poland. It might be thought that iu the quarter from whence he had come, where the one absorbing pursuit was the acquiring of filthy lucre, and whore Englishmen came to realise fortunes, and seemed to forget All the • pretation was put on those reaties by the Courts of J22ssia and Austria, we cannot overlook how powerful those two countries are when combined with reference to Turkey, and the Sultan did not know he was to be supported by this country. 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 ho 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 em not sure that Russia and Austria would have ventured to require each extradition ; but, unfortunately, the Sultan found himself compelled to come under enee,eements with those powers which he coul , l not well recede from. But lot us consider what would have been the case if the Sultan had yielded to the insolent demands of the Czar and given up the re f,,wes ; why, at this -very-moment could we suppose that the illustriousViedth; would be alive—that he would not have suffsred fh • st !Sarno fate as attended the great patriot 13atheassni? Can any one suppose that Austria, who could be so unscrupulous end sanguinary in the one case, would hesitate for a single instant in the other? No, those brave men, Kostuth and Bathyanni, would certainly have lost their lives on the scaffold, bile the best fate which would have attended Bern, Dembinski, end the otlw r brave roles and Hungarians enfzeged in the glorious cause, would have been a mise rable and proloneed 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 agreeable to the meeting I will give some further details on the subject. The Polish refugees, having been expelled from Turkey at the demand of Russia, were sent by the Turkish Go vernment to Malta in a Turkish frigate under the care of Count Zamoyski. On arriving these the Governor at first thought he ought not to permit these men to land, and an order was given to that effect. Count Zamoyski wisely addressed a letter to the Go vernor on the subject, setting forth the reasons why such an order should not be enforced. Fortunately, Lord Forteecue was residing at that time in the island. He is a nobleman who has always been a friend of the Poles, and I on 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 of the Poles. When he heard there was some difficulty about their receptien in the island, 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 efngees permission to land; and not only slid 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 rt ceiyed; but I must say the friends of Poland ought to make additional exertions in order to provide for the wants and necessities of those 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 ono 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.—(dear, hear.) They have been driven out there by force, and they came to cur 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 Malts 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 1834 it amounted to 10,0001.; it was afterwards raised to 15,000/., 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 6,000/. and 7,000/. 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, 40 that there will remain only 173, instead of 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. Hitherto, those of the rank (1 captains and lieutenants, and under the rank of field-officers, received the magnificent sum of 103,, but the Gosernment lave thought proper to reduce even that. Yet we have a certificate from the medical officer, in which he states t at the patients who come to him for advice require nothing but food. We nave enabled a great many to leave the country, but German and Danish, as well as Hungarian refugees are arriving constantly, and the question is, how are they to lies? 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 fortunes 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 she 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 oven 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, tolling thorn ; to take up arms against a people who have done them no harm, while cuss same breath they condemn them with taking up wit which they have no connexion. Many Irishmen have entered the ranks of Austria, and y-ot no rech_ made against them. Is any r e p roach thronaaproat 'n ef a the - Swiss reh. Swiss for serving against liber t y ? se T public, these hardy mountaineers, who are a e s supposed r s o re o peand to be attached to liberty, go and serve h the w w p h e i o e p h le th d ey o n King of Naples, and yet n o fault i i s th fon t n h d e with them. Neither is any fau lt found for ot re enteringar dfor the a are enlisted; but when the Poles j oin in any struggle or servicesin ge momento f the e t o h p e e. cause in warfare from a conviction of its justice, they are said to be nothing but a set of mercenary wretches. The Noble Lord then referred, in very complimentary lan guage, to the gratuitous services of Mr. Young, th e 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. lie 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 the same, time that they were com memorating 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 be considered at all necessary. They would all sympathise with him in the desire that that country should again be restored to liberty and to independence, and he felt confident _gat ,though it would not be pru dent to predict the time W'rien such might come to pass, yet that the day, accordinVoethe decrees of Provid ence, was still to shine upon' theWOrld.—(Cheere.) of The following resolution was passed on the motion Mr. KIRBY, seconded by Mr. JOHNSTON: — offered to Thomas Young, Esq., honorary surgene. " The thanks of this meeting are due and erenhoerethye association, for his valuable medical a dv t ice a d quarter to the nines gratuitously offered for the • thanks, observed that the Dr. YOUNG, in returningwere chief or nine cases, Polish refugees, recommended to himlbays the council." ri erg g ens had ,offered been in afflictions which the Polish t made them subject to peculiar to this country, exce b P rn where depressing moral causes sufferings insanity, but of late their lion disease among creased by the curse even -league boots, and in them had advanced with s of the Exchequer pro portion as the ChancellorthemHe cut off the alive. these poor ob h tained, whero of starve , and ' ggested toot some e comforts which their for lorneatures mightssuomppolieassy"lu.hmichsbrke:cuepl:live a ence w condition required, and where medical superintend ould be mere regular and effective. Me Alderman SALO3IONS moved, " That the thanks of t h e meeting are due to the Noble Chairman for his able con duct in the chair this day; and that the meeting further desire to express their warm admiration of his Lordship's earnest and consistent advocacy of the cause of suffering humanity in all shapes during the last eighteen years." Mr. EDSIUND BEALES seconded the resolution, and in doing so, said the statement of the medical officer had confirmed what he had previously declared, and now refe ite 3 , that it, was to the eternal disgrace of the liberal party iu the House of Commons that they took active measures in forcing the Government to deprive the Polish refugees of the small stipend whi c h the ge n ero si ty of this c o untry had given to them.—(Hear.) They were now told that the curse cf 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 however trusted that the liberal party would yet make some expiation for the past by endeavouring to get au increased grant, which would
