(Hear, hear.) This was no t a quest i on between R uss i a and Turkey, but between Russia and Eng land and if they had never heard of the occupation of the principalities, they should not be told that the English trade would be stopped at the mouth of the Danube. (Hear. hear.) He could tell them that the Turks did not want their aid, and were more powerful than the Russians, if they had not been interfered with by their conferences, the result of which was that one party was allowed to do nothing, and the other party was allowed to do everything. (Hear, hear.) The following words of the poet were appli cable to the occasion : " Disgusting crew ! Who would not gladly fly To open, bold-faced, downright tyranny— To honest guilt, that dares do all but lie— From the false guggling craft of men like these ; These holy leaguers, who then loudest boast Of truth and honour when they stain them most ,• From whose affection men should s h r i n k and loathe As from their hate, for they'll be fleeced by both— Who, even in plunalering, forge religious name To frank their spoil, and, without fear or shame, Call down the Holy Trinity to bless Perdition, leagues and deeds of devilness , He should conclude with this sentence, and it would be his last—that if one member of the Cabinet was equally responsible with his colleagues for this course of imbecile infamy they had perpetrated, that man must be more eter nally damned than any English Minister ever deserved to be—(loud laughter) —if he would accept the defence of his noble friend, and say sneakingly, " I did not do it—it is their fault." (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. WM. NEWTON would second the amendment at the same time that he rose to support the original resolution, because he believed that there was no real difference be tween them. He wished to say a few words as represent ing the feelings of the working men on this subject. It was said that the working population of this country were opposed to war. They had been so on former occasions, and for a very good reason—because former wars had been undertaken against the people of foreign countries, and in favour of foreign despotisms. But the people were in favour of a war now, because that war would be under taken to stop the aggression of the greatest despot in Europe. (Cheers.) They supported Turkey, not because they anew much of the internal government of Turkey, but because they . hated Russia with all the hatred which a people of liberal aspirations could exercise, and because they felt that in stopping the course of such an aggressor, war, which, in other circumstances, would be denounced as a horrid carnage, would become one of the highest bless ings of humanity. Their present duty, then, as a people loving liberty, was to support Turkey, and to denounce the Government. It required no great judgment in any one to know beforehand how the Government would act. The head o f th e G overnment, who was traine d i n t h e school o f d espotism, feared to offend Russia ; he feared to shake th e stability of the imbecile Government of Austria ; he dre a d e d to see Hungary in commotion again, and Kos suth recalled—(cheers)—h e dre a d e d t o see th e f ur th er pro gress of c ons ti tutional principle in Prussia, and to see the latent sp ar k o f liberty fanned into a fl ame i n It a ly, an d Mazzini brought bac k to the bosom of his country ;he shuddered at the id ea o f P oland rising again from her ashes ; and, therefore, mod ern di plomacy, under his auspices, had brought England to this point—that her o n ly a ll y was a nistraonywodhLb b y Republic pe rfidy,ofpFerarjurynce, and assassination, h a d de . Their true ally was across the Atlantic, in the other great branch of the Anglo-Saxon race ; and if they had now a Liberal Government, they would be found applauding such conduct as that of Captain Ingraham. It was said they were to have a Cabinet Court. cil. Would that a Cromwell was at the head of it ; and if so, he had no doubt that their modern Blake (pointing to Sir C. Napier) would receive a command. (Cheers.) These he believed to be the sentiments of the working people of England, who, if there was to be a war, would eventually have to pay the cost of it, but who, even with that know ledge, preferred war to dishonour. (Cheers.) With these sentiments, he would willingly second the first part of Mr. Urquhart's amendment, declaring the incompetency of the present Ministry, but with regard to the second part, he did not quite nuderstand it ; he was not aware that the Crown had lost any of its prerogatives, and therefore he could not ask for their restoration. The resolution as or i g i na ll y moved was then put to the meeting,. o RaQnudlluAnitaTnim th en omly mov e d agre e d his en taomdment as a substan . tive motion, and after various ineffectual attempts to ob tain a hearing in support of his views on the prerogative, he succeeded in shouting out that where one club tossed power to another like battledore and shuttlecock, there was neither prerogative for the Crown nor liberty for the people. He moved his resolution iu its entirety, but in this shape he could not find for it a seconder. He then made a virtue of necessity, and agreed to withdraw the latter clause re garding the royal prerogative, so that it stood thus—" That this meeting can come to no other lenient conclusion than this, that the 'servants of the Crown who now advise her Majesty are unequal to the emergency," in which shape passed without contradiction. ri)RlcE SD• • ! tion of public opinion that evening must have the effect , which it deserved to h ave . H e congratulated them on hay : I ing such a magnificent meeting as this without the aid of peers, for as to their chairman (Lord Dudley Stuart) he did not consider him as a lord, but as one of themselves. (Loud cheers.) They had no great City men amongst them that night, but still the glorious manifestation of public opinion at which they were now assisting would be felt far and wide, and would sound the death-knell of the Administra tion of the Premier on whose devoted head the weight of public censure must fall. (Immense cheering.) One of the newspapers of the day remarked that there was to be a meeting upon this question held at the West-end and another at the East-end on the same day, and that they wished that at the East-end might be held first. He (Mr. Nicholay) would distinguish between them—one as the meeting, the other as the conspiracy. (Cheers and laughter.) As an Englishman, he felt that we no longer occupied the same position in Europe, and that our national good name and faith had been in a great measure forfeited. He re collected the time when the name of an Englishman was in a great measure a passport, and he was treated every where with respect and attention—(hear)—and he trusted that good old time would yet return. But look at the way in which Englishmen were now treated when travelling in Austria or Italy. Recollect the case of the mild and gentle manly. person who was c u t d own l as t year b y some b ru t a l Austrian officer, and whose case w as t urne d i n t o a ma tter pounds,of shillings, and pence — a course w hi c h, i n th e feeling of an Englishman, was adding insult to injury. (Hear, hear.) Contrast the conduct of our Government with that held by the United States, under similar cir cumstances of ill-usage to any of their citizens. Only a few weeks ago, an embryo American citizen—for he was not a full fledged one, but an Hungarian exile, who in tended to become s o — was seized a t S m y rna , and taken on board an Austrian vessel. An American man-of-war, how ever, soon made its appearance, and the captain boarded the Austrian vessel, and insisted on the release of the Hungarian. The conduct of the American captain was approved of by his Government when he returned, but would an English captain who so acted have been approved of ? He said no • at least, not by the present Ministry. (Groans.) Therefore, fore, let them have men at the helm who would make the name of England respected, and would do justice to Turkey. (Cheers, and a voice called for " Three cheers for the stars and stripes," which ed to further cheering.) He would now make way for one whom he s k ir n s e ir w ohc th ar.l e esN y A w Nr e ai re pEiße a r ll anxious t.he(nccahe to hear, merse.)forwath the gallant anaw Admiral ived with enthusiastic and protracted cheering. He said—My lord and gentlemen, I presume the object of the present meeting is to teach the British Ministers their duty — (cheers)---and in the event of their :doing their duty fear lessly, boldly, and courageously, to give them all the sup port that is in your power to carry on their operations. (Cheers.) It was asked a long while ago, at the beginning of this business between Turkey and Russia, when Mr. Rose called up the British squadron to Constantinople, why the squadron did not go there ? I will tell you the reason why it did not go—because the Peace Conference had forced a weak and imbecile Administration, at the head of which was one of your representatives, to pay off the British fleet, and to disable the British army. (No, no, and cheers.) Why, if we had attempted to send our fleet to Constantinople, we had not a man-of-war in Eng land to resist a force of twenty-seven Russian line-of-battle ships from the Baltic. (Cheers, and some confusion.) That was the reason why the British fleet was not sent to Constantinople. But by the foresight of the late Ministry —for I will give them credit when they deserve it, though I am not one of them ; very far from it—this was reme died ; they did what the Whigs never had the courage to do —they came to the House of Commons, and told the country that it was necessary to augment the British army and navy. Well, by their exertions, followed up by the present Government, who, I must. say, have always done their duty in this respect, we fitted out a very re spectable squadron, but instead of our parading and hav ing a review at Portsmouth, it would have been much better to have told the Emperor of Russia, "If you dare to cross the Pruth our fleet shall go to Constantinople ; and more than that, we will treat you to a review in the Baltic, instead of one at Spithead." (Loud cheers.) I must say it was the duty of the British Government to have said this, and done this, and we have been guilty of great imbecility in not doing it ; but if our Ministers had come forward boldly and done their duty, I am sure you would have been happy to give them all the support they would have deserved. .(Cheers). One thing must be con sidered—the Government are placed in a very embarras sing position; all their motions are watched by th e par t y of the Derby Administration—if they go too fast, they are accused of precipitation ; and if too slow, they are ac cused of procrastination. But we have been too slow, and the hesitation and timidity which have been apparent in our policy has caused all the mischief.' (Cheers). We ought to have told the Czar, " If you cross the Pruth, we will be at Constantinople, and we will not be sa tisfied with that, but will go on to Sebasto pol" (Loud cheers.) We were told the other day by the First Lord of the Admiralty, when reviewing the fleet, that we were ready to contend with the world in arms, and when a Minister tells you that, is the Govern ment to continue the pusillanimous course they have hitherto held. (Cheers) ? But the time for it is over—the fleets can no longer remain in Besika Bey—they will be obliged to go to Constantinople, if only for safety. I hope they are there at this verymoment—(great cheering) —but I do not believe they are there with the dastardly view of merely getting possession of the castles of the Dardanelles, but to support and defend the Turks. (Renewed cheers.) But, gentlemen, you must consider this matter calmly and deliberately. If you urge on the Minister to war, and if the public voice says that there must be war, you must be ready to put your hands in your pockets, and to come forward with large sums to fit our fleets. We shall have work on our hands, and you must look for no child's play ; for when I talk of fleets, I mean that we must have fifty or sixty sail of the line ready to operate with ; you must send them into the Baltic, and see whether the old Nelson trick can not still be performed. (Immense cheering.) I am sure every person here will be ready to come forward and sup port the British Government when they are prepared to do their duty. I wish this meeting had taken place yester day, if it had only been to prime the Cabinet Council. (Cheers.) Well, there is one consolation; no doubt it will be well reported, and it will be all ready for the next Council that is held. (Cheers.) I see there is to be a Peace Congress on the 13th, and that Mr. Bright, Mr. Cobden, and all the peaceable men are to be there. (Laughter.) I am a peaceable man, and I will be there also ; I am just as much a man of peace as Mr. Cobden ; I am as fond of comfort as he is, and should like v etonu m see this an country happy, peaceable, and prosprosperous,s'and f enjoying himself. (Cheers.) I am not fond gblo o dshed, but my way of preserving peace is very different from their mode. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cobden told you some time ago that he would take Russia and crumple . like a piece of brown paper; why does he not crumple it now? Will he crumple the army in its fortresses, and its fleets in Se bastopol, and in the Baltic ? (Laughter.) If he can only do that, he will save an enormous sum of money. (Hear, hear.) If you tell the Emperor of Russia that you will crumple him up, do that and this, and the other thing, and by pen, ink, and paper stop all this, where is the use of it? Have we not been trying that for six months ? Have we not been arbitrating, and has not Austria been arbitrating. And why did Austria arbitrate ? To propose the very thing that Russia wanted • and notwith s t an di ng the talents of our diplomatists, they never saw that until the poor, illiterate, uneducated Turk saw through it. (Hear, hear.) The winter is coming, and the Emperor of Russia having gained in a single campeign, without the loss of a single man, two provinces, is he going to give them up ? (Hear, hear.) He will stay where he is if the people of this country do not come forward and insist upon the Go vernment of this country acting boldly. (Hear.) It will be called a fait accompli, and Russia will remain as she is unless the people insist upon the Government taking a bold position. (Hear, hear.) Look to the position of Russia. She is throwing her arms around Europe ; her right arm is over the Baltic, and her left over the Sea of Marmora and the Dardanelles. (Hear, hear.) Let us look back. Was it ever known in treaties of any description whatever that even a proud potentate —an autrocat—a—a—a (loud laughter)—a Czar of Russia should send on a most insulting embassy. to Constantinople one of the magnates of the land, accom panied by the admiral commanding the fleet, and by the general commanding the army on the frontier? (Hear.) It was as much as to say here is the admiral to examine the ports, and the general to examine the forts, and if you do not succumb, our fleets and armies will be upon you. Suppose there was a French fleet lying at Cherbourg, and. that France thought fit to interfere with us about the go vernment of Ireland, and sent an ambassador to London accompanied by the admiral commanding the Cherbourg fleet, and the general commanding the army, to dictate terms to us—suppose they took possession of the Channel Islands, and said to us if you do not agree to do so and so, we will make war against you, what would be said? (Hear, hear.) That is exactly the thing that Russia has done to Turkey, and if it were brought home to you, there is not a man, woman, or child in the whole kingdom that would not rise up in arms against the assailants. All the men-of-war, all the merchant ships, would be afloat to attack them. (Cheers.) I n T ur k ey they have done the same thing, and the subjects of the Porte have come for ward from the different provinces to attack the Russia!!! and make war against them. (Cheers.) I hope they will do it successfully ; but they must be supported. (Cheers.), We and France must supp or t th em w ith a ll the p can. (Cheers.) Having sa id so muc h a bout Russia we ae weand ' Turkey, there is one thin g we are b o und to do. o If come forward and assist the Turks to resist the aggression of Russia, the allies that assist her will be also bound to exact from her proper terms and conditions for her Chris tian subjects. (Hear, h ea r.) I feel subject, because, aft er the settlement t ofv warm on the the last Eastern question, when Turkey was su pported,. she did not f u lfil her promises to the Christians, or keep her promises to the Egyptians. (Hear, bear.) I repeat, a he a lp n i d ng l hhoapned,and e trust shal that if we come forward to lend alsoinsist upon Turkey performing all the promisee that she makes to her Christian subjects. (Cheers.) Mr. D. URQUHART came forward to address the meeting amidst loud cheers. He thought that if their fleet had not found a passag e through the Darda ne ll es, i t was owing to their fatal counsels. It was not caused by the storms of the north, but by a whisper in the council chamber. (Hear.) It was not owing to the weakness of England, but to the dexterity of Russia. (Hear.) He attended there in con sequence of having read the resolutions which had been published, and which he considered to be inapt, ludicrous, and absurd, and for the purpose of moving an amendment, but he would not disturb the meeting by doing so. The following was the amendment he should have moved, "That the facts which have come before the public satisfy this meeting that the men who have advised her Majesty are not competent to deal with the emergency." (Loud cheers.) He had received his noble friend the chairman's permission to move his amendment, but he had not stated it all. He would then go on to say, " That a more lenient expression of opinion cannot be come to than this, and that that expression is made, not for the transfer of power from one political party to another, but in order to restore to Captain MAYNE Rim moved the next resolution—" That not only does the interest, but the duty and honour of Eng land, call upon our Government to discard all secret and dynastic diplomacy, and render unconditionally to Turkey, prompt, decisive, and effective aid." The first clause of this resolution spoke of secret diplomacy. Secret diplomacy ! There was not a phrase in the language that was more re pugnant to the hearts and the ears of Englishmen. Secre diplomacy ! There was dishonour in the sound—there wa., positive and palpable meanness in the thought. What had secret diplomacy done for England ? Was it by secret di plomacy that this mighty nation had been built up ? If they looked back upon their former history, they would find that the tricksters of foreign countries had always out tricked the tricksters of England. He could understand some mean and petty nation having resort to secret diplo macy, but he could not understand why England should have recourse to it. Their first duty was to know what was right, and having ascertained that, to demand it in the most open and straightforward manner. (Cheers). But if secret diplomacy was repugnant to their ideas, dynastic diplomacy was still more so, whose sole aim was how to better the condition of petty German families. There was a rumour abroad that a certain high personage was med dling with our diplomacy —was, in fact, directing our diplo macy. He trusted, for the sake of the high character which that gentleman held—for the sake of his character as a gentleman—that that rumour was not true. He should be very unwilling to imitate the conduct of the Irish gen tleman who cried out of an unfortunate individual, ‘ ' Don't nail his ears to the pump." But if this rumour should prove true, ho (Captain Reid) would be the first to denounce his conduct as that of the meanest individual in this coun try. (Cheers). Then the resolution went on t o say that they ought to render Turkey prompt and effective aid. It was impossible to disguise that that sentiment breathed the spirit of war ; and he agreed with it on that account, for he behoved that peace was no longer possible. He was no lover of war—he would be glad to see the sword turned i n to the ploughshare; but he believed the time had come ceToohnuesnrctei country, the times i c o m a n e b s dd ewhenpnast andrioet i v ße e r g n the hts _ g oo w ( 1 1 o b , r o when war was not o n ly j ust, but a strict and holy necessity. he d be b li r believed, were of w t e lLe men—(cheers) —would feel a whisper in their hearts that war was not always sinful. Such a time, he believed, had come now. Turkey had a noble cause ; she'wae fighting for her country, her altars, and her homes. And a no less noble cause called upon England to bear her part in the struggle. They were bound by treaty to protect the integrity of Turkey. Throw interest to the winds ; their honour called upon them. (Loud cheers.) But ho had a very slight belief that their resolutions would have any effect upon the Government. He drew his convictions from the fatal experience of many years, during which time he had heard public opinion speaking trumpet -tongued one voice, while he had seen the action of Ministers directly opposed to that opi nion. Let them look back to 1849, to the struggles of the Hungarian people. (A voice : Three cheers for Hungary— which were warmly given.) Then Cabinet Ministers used their utmost efforts to crush Hungary. He had demon strative proofs of that fact. It breathed in every dispatch from minister to ambassador, and from ambassador to minister—in every report from every consular agent, and in every letter from every English spy ; for there were English spies then in Hungary. Look at the blue books. There they would see that Lord Ponsonby wrote to the Foreign Minister of the day—to Lord Palmerston, whom some of the speakers had so much lauded—" The rebels have received a great chuck." This was preceded by some dotted lines, which he could fill up. The dispatch ori ginally ran thus :—" I beg to congratulate your lord ship on the fact that the rebels have received a great check." (Hear, hear, and hisses.) England had interfered in the war between Hungary and Aus tria in a more base manner than Russia, whose inter ference was that of the open robber, whereas the English aristocracy acted like the mean and skulking thief. (Cheers.) As for Lord Palmerston and his policy, he held that the people had allowed themselves for forty years to be juggled and chicaned by a political dandy. The Cabinet ministers had lately been professing their sympathy for Turkey. If they wished to give a practical proof of this sympathy, he called upon them, if not to suspend the Foreign Enlist ment Act, at least to give an Englishman leave to take part in the coming contest, and draw his sword in favour of liberty. (Cheers.) Mr. HARNEY seconded the resolution. H e contended that I b d y, should o f i nterferearm. (Cheers.) The promptly, d ec i s i vely, and n r esolution was put and carr i ed unanimously . Mr. BROWN moved the next resolution That this m eeting is of opinion that Austria, by reason of her pre vious course of policy, and of her recent perfidious beha viour towards Turkey, ought to be regarded by us as an enemy, and not cherished as an ally." Mr. NICHOLS seconded the resolution. Mr. TEELAWNEY felt as strongly as any one the duty of succouring Turkey, but could not agree in the observations that had been first made in reference to Lord Palmerston. They should recollect that at the time of the Hungarian war Lord Palmerston's hands were not strengthened. It was not the fault of Lord Palmerston if Hungary were not efficiently assisted in 1848. There were difficulties in the way —they were bound by treaties which would make it excessively difficult for them to support a republic in Hungary. There had been a motion made in the House of Commons for the reduction of the standing army, and where was the use of barking if they were not prepared to bite, or of shaking their fist in the face of Russia if they would not double their standing army? (Hear.) It would also have been far better if an observation had not been made by the same gentleman in reference to the Duke of Wellington. (Hear.) He (Mr. Trelawnev) had come there to assist them in giving strength to the Government, but he found there nothing but division. (Oh, oh). They should not have strangers coming there to abuse that part of the Cabinet from which they expected the most decisive and energetic action in this business. (Hear, hear.) Lord Palmerston was the man from whom, of all others, they should expect strong and decided action. (Hear, hear.) They were there to give a tone to the acts of the Government, and he hoped they would not be too quick in judging of their conduct. They should not be too ready to think that the Govern ment have not the same object in view as they had in com ing there that evening. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was adopted. Mr. ELT moved the fifth resolution—" That an address, embodying the foregoing resolutions, be entrusted to a de putation, to be presented to her Majesty." Mr. MoonE seconded the resolution, which was adopted. Mr. HODGES proposed the sixth and last resolution. " That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be tarnsmitted to the Turkish ambassador." The resolution wee seconded and carried. A vote of thanks was passed to Lord D. Stuart, and the meeting separated. / LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1853. F REE TRADE FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY, 86, St. James-street, Pall-mall ; City Agency, 42, Poultry. Shares 401. each, Monthly payments, 6s. per share. At the FIRST GENERAL MEETING of the above SOCIETY, held at the Society's Offices, September 29, 1853, Lieut.-Col. DICK SON in the Chair, It was Resolved, " That a Public Meeting be held on Wednesday, October 26, 1853, to ballot for priority of Members in which all shares already taken, and which may be taken up to that time, will participate." THOMAS SHERWOOD SMITH, Secretary RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The meeting which has been announced for some days back, to consider of the present position of affairs in the East, and the propriety of active interference in support of Turkey, was held last night in the London Tavern. The hour appointed was seven o'clock, but by six, numbers of persons had assembled in the spacious lobbies lead ing to the great room of the tavern, as well as in the street, and the doors were hardly well opened ere the apartment was filled. Lord Dudley Stuart, who it was intimated would take the chair, did not arrive until a quarter-past 7. Amongst those present we observed—Sir C. Napier, Mr. Blackett, M.P., Messrs. Prout, Nicholay, Hickson, Profes sor Newman, J. Wilson, Elt, Harvey, Dunford, Michell, Capt. Mayne Reid, Howard, &c., &c. Mr. PROUT moved that Lord Dudley Stuart take the chair, w ich was carried by acclamation. Lord D. STUART accordingly took the chair, amidst pro onged applause. When this had subsided, he said—l thank you for your kind reception. I assure you that the spirit which I see animates thinnaeeting sets my heart on fire, and gives me courage upon the groat occasion which has called us together—(cheers)—because I see that I am addressing a body of men who deserve the name of Eng lishmen, and who come here resolved to maintain the hon our and good faith of their country, and not to allow them selves to be insulted, or their allies to be trampled upon by the machinations of tyrants or despots. (Great cheering.) Gentlemen, I believe I may be thought to owe you some apology for having arrived a little late, for I am informed that thousands absolutely have gone away from the door unable to find admission. (Hear.) I am exceedingly sorry that such should be the case ; and I can only say that this meeting having been summoned for 7 o'clock, the committee and myself could not foresee that the eagerness of the in habitants of the metropolis would be such as to induce them to assemble in numbers one hour before the time ap pointed. (Hear.) I believe I have arrived here only a very few minutes after the precise hour, and even that short delay would not have occurred if it had not been for the state of the streets, with which you are all well ac quainted, and which makes it very difficult to get through the city at this time. Now, gentlemen, we are met here to gether upon agreat and most important and most solemn Os- Oasion, to consider the present crisis of affairs in Europe, as they affect the honour and the interest of this country, and to come to some conclusion as to what the free and in dependent Inhabitants of this great city ought to do at this juncture. I apprehend that the object of our assembling this evening is to make some demonstration, which shall have the effect of guiding the Government to a course ho nourable to this country—(cheers)—of so guiding them, if they require to be guided, or if they have determined to take a bold and manly course—a course different from that which has marked their policy hitherto—(cheers) — then to give them the free support and approbation of the enlightened and intelligent population of this metropolis. (Cheers.) I cannot suppose that such meetings as I now differ entitbnhyge t thosefi p h a parts s first s p r o v inces no o vfti goodhtn h ec eees examples—butrc t o e od u i n tth t a r country—be c ause, l 12 — e i3 b t re co u r se —ex ampl e c e i sa ,gentlemen, see before me, and as have already taken place in e r n e s not et have we be a anotd;elireeseotnhlyntfollow meet ings, so composed, so numerous, so influential , should be without a corresponding and proper effect on the Govern ment. However, if such should be the case, we shall have the satisfaction of having done our duty, 'ind it shall not be said throughout the world that in this metropolis, the focus of an ardent love of liberty in this country, which has always been considered as giving an example to man kind, there are no men ready to protest against Russian encroachments—(cheers)—there are no men to call upon the Government to come forward boldly on behalf of the injured and generous Sultan. (Cheers.) Or, if govern eients and cabinets, and persons in high station are so overcome by the cares, and pleasures, and tinsel of high life, and by the enjoymehts of their position, as not to re gard or care for what is passing in other countries, we will not have it said that the people of this metropolis applaud such base and pusillanimous conduct—(cheers)—but if Go vernment will go wrong, they shall not say that the bold and independent people of England have suffered them to do so without protesting against their inaction. Now, gentlemen, what do we see at the present moment, and what is the crisis which has now called us together? We see the Emperor of Russia, at the head of his millions of armed serfs, pursuing the course which he and his prede cessors have long recognised as their settled policy, and endeavouring to commit aggressions upon Turkey, and thereby to advance by degrees towards universal dominion and the enslavement of the world. (Loud cries of hear, hear.) For this purpose, Russia, as is her wont, has put forward every kind of flimsy pretence ; and hypo critical as that Government has always been, the pretence put forward on this occasion exceeds every other yet tried. It is, forsooth, a regard for religion—(groans)—and thus a dispute about the Holy Places of Jerusalem, between the Greek Church and the Roman Catholic Church, is the foundation of this quarrel. But that quarrel was long ago accommodated, and Russia has professed herself satisfied with the concessions that have been made to her, since the grievances of which she complained have been redressed ; although I do not believe that she had any grievances whatever, and that the demands made by France and con ceded by Turkey were perfectly legitimate. But, however, these so-called grievances having been adjusted, Russia put forward new demands, Prince Menschikoff having been sent to Constantinople to negotiate on the subject of the Holy Places, and the Russian Government having given solemn assurances to this country, which our Government was green enough to accept—(cheers and laughter). We have heard sometimes that a green old age is a thing to be commended and desired ; but I must say from the green old age of such a Minister as we have good Lord deliver me. (Cheers.) Well, Russia having given these assur ances, which were believed, Prince Menschikoff, with cha racteristic want of faith, according to Russian custom, turns round, and pretends that she is not satisfied with what has been done about the holy places, but requires something quite different ; that his august master the Czar should have a right of sovereignty over all the popu lations of Turkey professing the Greek religion. The Turks, not intimidated by this magnificent bullying mis sion of Prince Menschikoff, returned a dignified and reso lute answer, that they could agree to nothing of the kind ; and Prince Menschikoff having propounded his ultimatum, naming last day after last day, found that he prevailed in nothing, and was obliged to leave the Turkish capital as he came to it. What happens then? Why, the auto crat, who brooks no refusal of his will, then informs the Turkish Government that if they will not concede his pre sumptuous demands, he shall march his troops into their territory, and take possession of the Danubian Principali ties. Well, so he did ; in that respect he was as good as his word, and the Governments of Western Europe—that is to say, the Governments of England and France — tell the Sultan that there is no doubt Russia, in in vading his territory, has committed an act of war. I should think the Sultan did not require to be told so by England and France, because, if taking possession of the territory of another Got is not war, I should like to know what war is. (Hear.) But these Governments, making the admission that the conduct of Russia was most unjustifiable, and so flagitious as to deserve every means of repression which Turkey could bring into action against it, at the same time counsel Turkey not to con sider it an act of war, or take any measures corresponding to a state of war. (Groans.) The Emperor of Russia, of course, under those circumstances, remains in those pro vinces, quartering his army upon the unfortunate inhabi tants, and subjecting them to all the evils of a military oc cupation, and, , I may say, almost to all the evils of war. I cannot help calling attention to the iniquity of these proceedings, and to the position of those unfortunate pro vinces, inhabited by as brave and intelligent a race as.any that is to be found in Europe. (Hear, hear.) It is because the Sultan will not agree to an unjustifiable demand of Russia, that Russia makes those unhappy people suffer all those evils. Those people have certainly a just right and claim upon Turkey to be defended ; they say with truth, if Russia choose to take some other province of Turkey, it may be in the breast of Turkey to say, " We will give it up ;" because a man may part with his own if he thinks proper ; but we have never been conquered by Turkey— say the inhabitants of those Danubian provinces —we have never been conquered by any power, we have submitted to the rule of the Sultan of Turkey —we chose him to be our Sovereign—we made a compact with him years and years ago in treaties which still subsist and ought to be respected, that we would acknowledge him as our Sovereign, if he would afford us his protection—and that protection he is bound to give. What, then, are we to think of the mo rality of the Governments of Western Europe, in coun selling the Sultan to forget the duties he owes to this brave and unfortunate race ? Russia, having invaded the principalities, declares, by the despatch of Count Nessel rode, which, no doubt, is familiar to you all, with the most flagrant disregard of good faith, that the reason why she occupied those provinces was that the English and French fleets had gone to the mouth of the Dardanelles — a thing so entirely contrary to truth that there is only one word which can describe it, and that is one which is not supposed to be agreeable to ears polite. (Cheers and laughter.) The language of Russia has been sufficiently described by a learned member of the House of Peers — one no friend in general to the liberty of nations, one whose prejudices have been for many years, if not for all his life, rather with the friends of despotism than liberty —I mean Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, who characterised the dispatch of Count Nesselrode as being the most auda cious, insulting, and fallacious document with which it had ever been his misfortune to - meet. Such being the state of things, and Russia having m arc h e d into the terri tories of Turkey with her armies, what do these great Western Powers, who have first counselled the Sultan not to agree to the demands of Prince Menschikoff, and then counselled him not to consider the advance of Russia into the principalities as a case of war ? Do they give him energetic support? Do their fleets go up to Constanti nople, sail into the Baltic, and make reprisals for the wan ton and unjustifiabie act of Russia ? No ; but they enter upon a conference at Vienna ; they summon ambassadors from the different Courts to Vienna, to enter upon a con sideration of the question. Well, it does appear to me that, of all places, Vienna was the last which ought to have been chosen. We, all know that the Court of Vienna is nothing now but a tool to Russia—(Groans)—that what ever is done by Austria is so done as to give satisfaction and contentment to the Emperor Nicholas and his Go vernment, and that in point of fact the Emperor and Ministers at Vienna are nothing but puppets, the strings of which are pulled at St. Petersburgh. (Hear, hear.) It must be noted that at thi s con f erence th e Russian am bassador was not formally admitted ; but there is a cir cumstance which ought to be known, and that is, that the Prime 'Minister of Austria, Count Buol, is the brother-in law of the Russian ambassad o r, Count Meyendorf, whose sister he married. This f ac t certainly is calculated to lead to a violent suspicion that these brothers-in-law represent ing the Sovereigns of Austria and Russia, would have very ready intelligence, and communicate with each other as to what was going on in the conference. (Hear, hear.) These Powers having agreed on a convention which ought to be signed between Turkey and Russia, communicated it to the Russian ambassador, Count Meyendorf, and asked him if that would do for his master the Czar. He said it would ; but they never communicated it to the ambassador of the Sultan, who had no ministerial brother-in-law ; it was sent off to Constantinople, and it was expected that the Sultan would immediately adopt it. The Sul tan, however, when he saw it, of course objected to it, for the very reasons which made it satisfactory to the Czar. He said, You might as well ask me to give the Czar all he wants at once ; I might as well have agreed to all the demands of Prince Menachi koff as sign this ;" and, therefore, he assigned reasons to the Governments of Western -Europe why he could not agree to any such thing. It appears that the Governments of France and England admitted thatthereasons of Turkey were good, and such as ought to be of themselves valid, but Austria turns round and says she cannot agree to any thing of the kind, and she sides, as it might have been sup posed she would do, with Russia. (Groans.) It appears, too, that Russia will make no concession, but insists on the original convention being agreed to purely and simply. There have been further conferences held at a place called Olmutz, where the Russian and Austrian Emperors have been reviewing their troops, and performing all sorts of military parade, or, perhaps, you would call it t om f oo l ery . (Laughter.) At that conference, it is to be observed, that the British ambassador, Lord Westmoreland, was present. The French Government, with a better appreciation of its dignity and independence; would not allow its ambassad o r to go there ; and I cannot but say that throughout these transactions the Government of France has played a loftier and more honourable part than that of England, because it was always understood that France was for the more vigo rous counsels-- -France was for repelling wrong and for in sisting upon right, and, if it did not act upon these noble intentions, it has been because it has been over-persuaded and held back by the counsels it has received from the Cabinet headed by Lord Aberdeen. (Groans, and cries of " Shame.") Now, gentlemen, I think that the crisis in which England is placed is one of very great gravity. [Some interruption here took place in consequence of the crowded state of the apartment.] Gentlemen, I am really very effectsorry that t t he angryeiantcodnevsire i inconvenience should present be at felt, this b m u e t e i t t in i g s . th l e only wish the room was ten times as large, or that there was a place to which we could adjourn to carry on the meeting ; but as this is not the case, all we can do is to prevent more persons coming into the apartment, and those who are here must contrive to make themselves as comfort able as they can. (Hear, hear.) I have given orders to have the side door opened, that, perhaps, will afford some religf ; and now, if it be your pleasure, I willcontinue my remarks (Hear.) It is now reported after these conferences that, Russia continuing to insist upon her unjustifiable demand, Turkey has taken a step which she would have taken long ago if she were not dissuaded—(hear, hear)—and, without circumlocution or pretence, she has taken the bold step of declaring war. (Cheers.) Turkey has made a declaration of war, and it remains to be seen what England and France are going to do. (Hear, hear.) It is said that the two fleets have been ordered through the Dardanelles up to Constantinople, and I most sincerely hope that the intelli gence is correct. (Cheers.) I have ventured to make some strictures on the conduct of the Government. (Hear, hear.) I cannot help, on reviewing their conduct, condemning it. (Cheers.) Whatever people may think, I am not one of those who want war for the sake of war—God forbid. I think that war is a great, calamity, and if entered upon without clear necessity it is a great crime ; but I don't want that we should accept dishonour rather than war. (Loud cheers.) I recollect the words of Burke with regard to Poland, when the first partition took place in 1772. That great and far-seeing statesman reproached his coun try and the Government of the country in that day for not interfering as to Poland, and he said "it never ought to be forgotten that to purchase present quiet at the price of future security is the most degrading and the basest of all cowardice." (Loud cheers.) That is what those are guilty of who want to have peace at any price. (Cheers.) You cannot have peace always —you will nothave peace long if you submit to wrong ; and that which is true humanity— that which is true Christianity —and that which I may say is true piety, because it diminishes the horrors of war and curtails bloodshed, is this, when a grea t i n j us ti ce i s d one, and is persevered in, if you cannot prevent it by any other means, throw away all others, and resort to force. (Cheer s .) I fear we hav e come t o that point that we must decide between war and dishonour ; and what has brought us to that point ? (Hear, hear.) I must repeat the question because I want it to be heard—" What has brought us to that point?" (Hear, he ar .) I s it no t th e Government of this country? (Hear, hear.) If its hid - had a bold, an energetic, and a far-seeing man at the head of our Govern ment—(a voice : Palmerston)—if we had had such a man as Lord Palmerston, would this be our position ? (Cheers.) In that case I tell you what I think. Ido not think the Emperor of Russia would ever have ventured to address his untenable demands to Turkey. (Cheers.) I do not think he would be marching out of the Danubian pro vinces now, for he never would have attempted to enter them, but would have remained on the other side of the Pruth in his own dominions. (Cheers.) I have a very high opinion of the noble lord you have mentioned (Lord Palmerston); I never disguise it ; I think he is the greatest statesman of the present day—(cheers) —but I go further— I do not think it would have been necessary to have tht distinguished man at the head of affairs to prevent what has happened. I think that any other Minister - except him whom we have now would have prevented it. (Cheers.) I do not believe that the Earl of Malmesbury (who is no friend of mine politically, and of whom I never was an admirer, though generally considered as a Minister without any great power) would have submitted to any thing of the kind. (Cheers.) There ,is another thing I beg of you to remember—since last year this country has lost a great man—a man with whom many of us were not in political union—l was not—l speak of the Duke of Wellington. (Loud cheers.) I know his inclina tions were not, unhappily, in favour of the liberties of the people, but he was a conscientious man—(hear, hear)—he was the friend of the interests of England as he understood them—(cheers)—and certain I am that he would never have permitted the conduct of Russia—(cheers) —and I do not believe, if the Duke of Wellington had been still alive, the Czar would have ventured upon those actions. (Cheers.) [A voice : We have Napier.] (Cheers.) Are we not bound to come forward and assist this gallant country, Turkey, oppressed as she is, and is it not our interest to do so ? (Hear, hear.) I say, that if it were not for our interest, we would be bound to do so in honour in consequence of the assurances we have given her. (Cheers.) First of all, her cause is just. (Cheers.) [Some interruption again arose from the pressure of the crowd.] Now, gentlemen, I entreat your patience, and I do pray that we shall con duct this meeting with good order. (Hear, hear.) Let it not be said that any Russian emissaries are come here to disturb us. I consider that any attempt to disturb the meeting is so much done on behalf of Russia ; and so far would I be from doing anything in the interest of Russia, that, as I think you must be by this time almost tired of listening to me, I will hast en t o conclude my observa tions in order that the resolutions may be moved. I will only tell you this that I think the cause of Turkey is just, and that we are bound to support them by trea ties, Queen's speeches, and the assurances of Ministers. Look to the assurances and words, and consider the decla rations, of Lord John Russell on this subject ; I cannot Having given those assurances to Turkey, we are sound not to suffer her not speak e t s a ht k oo oupnl prevent - va hf ec a t a a hs sewrwe from r 01 1 I ma u s p o s pn defendinge a i k t . as to be maltreated or trampled upon—(cheers)—we are bound ( h al e c e a e n rs ,. ) but I want that herself ; for if left to herself she will give a very good account of the blood thirsty wretches that attack her. (Cheers.) The cause of Turkey is just—it is the cause of tolerance in religion ;it is the cause of commercial liberality, and of chivalrous generosity. (Cheers.) The Russians have piety in their mouths—the hypocrites. (Cheers.) The Austrians talk about their Roman Catholic religion ; but do we see in Turkey religious persecutions as we see it in Russia, where nuns, Jews, and Protestants have been persecuted ? (Hear.) Where do we see Protestants persecuted in Tur key, as an Archduke has persecuted the Madiais and Miss Cunninghame ? (Hear, hear.) In Turkey every one is at liberty to follow the religion he pleases. There you may see Roman Catholic processions and Protestant churches, and every man adoring his Maker according to his con science. (Cheers.) All I can say is, that I wish there was ;Is much religious equality in London. (Loud cheers.) We know how liberal the Turks are in regard to commerce. They receive all our manufactures, while Russia and Aus tria impose their prohibitive tariffs. From whence shall we get a cheap and abundant supply of bread, now that we have got rid of the corn laws, which produced an arti ficial dearness, but from the Danubian provinces, the inex haustible granary of Europe, which, if Russia do not pre vent them, will give us all we want, and save us from the famines from which in former years we have suffered ? (Hear, hear.) And when speaking of the generosity of Turkey, I will remind you that on this platform there stood not long ago a man who is himself a living witness of the generosity of Turkey—l allude to Kossuth—( c h eers ) Turks against the bloodhound s o f St. P e t ers b urg. (Cheers.) dw you interest,o s u ho should sup porthave ashevi efthe patriot who was defended by th e S u lt an and his bravb ll R I u say,Russia iTa t u h rs e kh r eo e y f u ; r d e , a th ngde r e besidest p i o s s e s v e e s s r y i oni reason toifs Constantinople,o whyu ra would become a great maritime powe r; to submit to a greater pressure of taxation to provide a sufficient naval armament to resist her. (Cheers.) I will not detain you longer—and I have done so too long— but you did not come to this public meeting to be abused, but to discharge a great and important duty. (Cheers.) I will now discharge my duty by calling on Professor New man to propose the first resolution. Professor NEWMAN—I have lived, I believe, for more then forty years in this world under the delusion that it was the part of a private citizen to leave to the Govern ment the direction of foieign affairs ; but, unfortunately, I have been converted to an opposite opinion by discover ing—what Lord John Russell has also discovered—that there is in Europe a conspiracy of despots against liberty. (Hear, hear.) Another discovery I have unfortunately made, which Lord John Russell has not made—namely, that that conspiracy of despots has put forth an influence ' within the Cabinet of the Queen. (Hear, hear.) I look upon it as a fact that, unhappily, cannot be doubted, and it is the duty of all Englishmen to step aside from their private position, and declare to the world, if they feel it' their shame, indignation, and disgust, at the way in which the honour of England has been cast into the dust in these recent affairs. (Hear.) The following is the resolution that has been entrusted to me :—" Resolved—That the series of Russian aggressions convinces this meeting that there is in the Russian Cabinets a fixed purpose, not only to subdue Turkey, but to domineer over all Europe, and iextirpate all freedom. We look upon this as the true rea son why no diplomatic settlement of the Turco Russian quarrel was or is possible ; and we lament that the British Government has wasted much valuable time, damaged the just cause of the Turks, inflicted upon commerce months of needless depression, and (worst of all) inspired universal suspicion of the good faith of England —in a vain effort to negotiate with an unscrupulous and violent Power, which acted while we talked, and which, if now momentarily ap peased, would only become more dangerous on some early arliyonbeeugs"aPlneciffuainted what I occasion." 1 was considering within myself, on my way here, what are the objects to be aimed at in addressing this public meeting. It might be to inform you ; but you do for persuasion and not need information—(hear, hear)—you have all got it ; the chairman has given details if any of you were igno rant; but you do not want to be convinced—your response then, is w i n l i e e th ed ve sci th e ; is e y s onuoi passed,t t e n not want ntah atth theitt m ternfoer What, temper, and judg ment nomwceusssstithaonbt ni p s ( C h i r ne o in c e e e t e d e r d e s a i n . un ) ndgtslnwn oftrust t n t h wb e t eh a ha at t w meeting area al r l eit w tsh h t et e feel— namely, that the confidence which we have been accus tomed to put in Ministers has been abused. (Cheers.) We haveklooked to them, and our Parliament has looked to them, to uphold the dignity of England, to perform their duty, and to fulfil the treaties into which they had entered and to provide for our safety. They stopped the mouth of Parliament, they would not let Parliament know.:what they were doing, because they were ashamed of it. They put it off until they could seeure for themselves sixmonths of unrestricted executive despotism, and now if they should send their soldiers to fight against the Turkish people the English nation have no power to prevent it. (ear, hear.) It is now reported that, under the pretence of as sisting the Turks, we have offered to hold the castles of the Dardanelles, and what is that but to say to them, " Give us possession of your strongest fortresses, go and fight against your enemies yourselves, and when your ar mies are destroyed, we, having hold of your fortresses, will impose uposk you such conditions as we please." It appears to me that if the Sultan knows his own interest, and what his dignity requires, he will say, " Help na against the enemy in public if you like, but we cannot trust you as a reserve guard and leave you behind." The ' report now is, that that is the form in which we pretend to be generous to the Turks ; but I say that unconditional assistance is the only assistance that England can in honor offer, and that she is bound to offer. (Cheers.) I will not detain you, as I know I am about to be succeeded by a gen tleman far more competent to speak. (Hear, hear, and loud laughter.) Mr. Blackett is about to succeed me. I could speak on the subject for a couple of hours, but as it is far better that a great many voices should be heard on this matter, I shall only say that Mr. Blackett will second the motion. (Hear.) Mr. BLACKETT then presented himself, and was received with loud cheers. He said, before taking the liberty of seconding the resolution which had been so ably moved, he felt that an apology was due to the meeting for his presu ming to take part in it all. He had no claim to appear on the platform, except that h.e represented a town which had taken the lead in discussing the question, for he could tell them that three months ago his constituents in Newcastle had held a public meeting in favour of Turkey. When he was invited to attend the present meetinghe was told that it was thought desirable that NH many members of Parliament as possible should take part in the proceedings. He was told at the same time that the number of members of Par liament were likely to be limited, and that being so, he thought it was his duty to take up a humble position by the side of his noble friend in the chair. (Cheers.) He congratulated them on th.e great advantages which he thought would result from holding the present meeting. Under any circumstances, so numerous and so important a demonstration of the metropolitan constituency must exer cise a great influence upon the public mind, but at the pre sent moment it had this addlitional and significant interest, that it marked the determination of the people of England to turn over a new leaf on this subject. (Loud cheers.) Up to this time the Government of England had had the whole question in their han.ds, and the people of England had done nothing. Throughout this country he believed there had been up to the present time an exaggerated de gree of delicacy and fear of embarrassing the Government. Public meetings had been suspended—members of Parlia ment had held their tongues —every demonstration that could have the most remote factious or embarrassing ten dency, had been carefully avoided, in the general trust that was reposed in the Government, and in the belief that no Minister would assume the confident tone our Minister had done, or would have taken upon himself the fearful responsibility of attempting to settle the question, with out having certain reasons to believe that his efforts would be crowned with success. (Cheers.) On the other hand, the Government had accepted the acquiescence of the people—they had assumed a tone Which, in words that had now passed into a proverb, might suit a Minister for Russia, or a Minister for Turkey, but which certainly did not suit a Minister for England. (Loud cheers.) The duty of the Government was not to restrain or to keep down the people, but to protect our interests, and to re- , gister our decisions. (Hear.) He did not say that that was the system of the present Government, but he thought the warmest panegyrist of the present Government would not deny that the consequences of their interference hitherto had been absolute and entire failure. It was said now that the Government as well as the people were about to turn over a new leaf. But, if it were true that the fleets had been sent to the Dardanelles to act as the willing allies of the Sultan, then there could be no greater justification of the present meeting than the f ac t that the Government were now ready to enter upon the course which the people had all along been urging upon them ; and he thought this meeting would supply Lord Clarendon with the very encouragement which Lord Palmerston told the people of Scotland was all that an English Minister could desire. He had already told them that Newcastle took the lead in this movement, and he took an honest pride in that, but he thought he could see great and solid advantages as the result of postponing this great metropolitan demonstra tion even to this late period. They had not come forward to take part in this meeting without having fully thought over this question. The question had been discussed and re-discussed; it had been sifted in the public press, and, therefore, every one was able to estimate the cost of enter ing into hostilities. If this meeting had been held at the first moments of agitation, it would have been said that they rushed blindfold into the question, and that they had thrown up their hats for a vigorous policy, without count ing the cost. But he was satisfied that every man present who held up his hand for the resolutions, would bear his share in the increased taxation which must follow upon it, and that they would all repudiate the idea of exciting un popularity against a Minister who addressed himself to the fearful task of carrying througn a just and necessary war. (Cheers.) They would forgive him for dwelling upon theirthis edarknem enemies contemplating this dark side ; and travellers from the f e e a o r f e d continent assured him that the present notion th e w the nothing picture, u s r o e m , n b e e h c because s the e people believed steadily that as, that though the English people would express shrinkth r counted that entering upon war. The Emperor of Russia but certain degree of indignation, England would show a counted that that resentment would expend itself in he indig nation against Russian aggression, they would from protocols, and dispatches, and notes, and all the devices of diplomacy; but still he counted upon this, that an English fner would shrink from the last extremity o f war. God forbid that he or any other Christian man sh ou ld de preciate the calamities of war. But tho ug h h e f e lt a ll t h e misfortunes which war would inflict upon the human race, still, when he considered the evils of the extension of Russian despotism, the derangement that would take with of tariffs the p res and e nprohibitory st ate of place all over the contin en t b y t h e alteration in the balance of power—whe n h e remem b ered that the progress from the identical preservation duties, and the inj ur i es th at resulted to British com mof Russia things, which was called peace, but which, in the lan guage of Lord John Russell, was no peace at all, but was a precarious truce, to be denounced by the aggressor when ever he thought he could secure his own advantage— (cheers)—he believed that, taking the meanest and most mercantile view of these matters, it was probable that the cost of war would be but a moderate insurance against what was fast becoming the intolerable calamity of so called peace. (Cheers.) But, even on higher considera tions, he could not forget that the faith of this country was pledged to Turkey, or the assurances which the Minis ters themselves had given of their determination to main tain the independence of Turkey. He remembered that the clear balance of right and justice was on the side of the Sultan—that the eyes of Europe were fixed upon the Dar danelles, to see whether the fleets went to the Dardanelles as the allies of Turkey, or as the accomplices of her humi liation • and remembering these things, h e cou ld not doubt that there was a man in this room but would join in the earnest prayer that England would be true to her ancient honour, and that our Government would not belie the gallant spirit of their countrymen. (Loud cheers.) Mr. YATES FREEBODY then came forward to support the resolution, and directed the attention of the meeting at some length to the refusal of Russia to clear out the Sulina channel of the Danube, in spite of all diplomatic remonstrances, because Russia wished to force England to purchase her corn at Odessa. Mr. Wm. HENDERSON also addressed the meeting. He agreed with every word of the resolution, but, as he thought it did not go far enough, he would move the fol lowing resolution as a rider :—"That it is the opinion of this meeting that the independence of Turkey, in the present critical circumstances, should be maintained at all hazards, and that it would amount to a violation of national honour to abandon the faith of existing treaties." There was one feature in this transaction which he could not under stand. At present England had been altogether quiescent, though they were left in ignorance of all that had taken place, and were indebted to newspapers across the Channel for the knowledge that their fleet had gone to the Darda nelles, and even that their Minister had given an answer to the note of Count Nesselrode. He thought this was un worthy of a free and intelligent people, and he hoped it would be so no longer. The speaker was continuing in this strain, when the meeting became impatient, and be sat clown. The CHAIRMAN intimated that this amendment was em , braced in subsequent resolutions, and it was therefore un r necessary. He would, therefore, put the resolution. The resolution was accordingly put and carried unani mously. Mr. NICHOLAY moved the second resolution as follows: — "That this meeting applauds the glorious patriotic spirit of the Turkish people at the present crisis, and would deplore any attempt on the part of the British Government to sup press that spirit as an actofunparalleled infamy; especially onsidering the many solemn ways in which England has bound herself to maintain the Turkish independence." No -1 thing required to be said in support of this resolution, nor in favour of the Turkish people, but he would remind them of the motto of the immortal Nelson—" England expects every man to do his duty." He thought the spontaneous evolu.
