THE EAST and NORTH at WAR. — There is nothing more probable than a severe struggle be • tween the forces of the East and the Powers of the North. War is frequently denounced as the consumers of life and property, but there are some contests which preserve the former in the greatest comfort, and are the means of increasing the latter in a surpassing degree. The East and West-end powers of E. MOSES and Sox are concen trated to resist the unpleasant invasions of North winds and all in auspicious seasons, and the success their new Attire for Autumn and Winter will have is past calculat'on ; suffice it to say, all the fabrics that Art and Manufacture can produce have been carefully selected. AU that skill and expe-ience ci , uld introduce for novelty and com fort has been ince - porated Cor the production of Winter Attire, such as is destined to surpass that of any previous season ; and while 01 classes may avail themselves of the most fashionable anti the cheapest Clothing ever offered, the vast stock just prepared by E. MOSES and SON will afb.d admirable opportunities for selecting the b"st Goods in each department of their gigantic Establishments An unparalleled Stock of elegant and u,sead articles is provided in the Hosiery Depat tment. The Hat, Cap, and Fur Section is replete with every novel intro duction for the season. The Wholesale Department affords advantages to Merchants, Captains, Shippers, and Emigrants far superiop to any other com mercial enterprises Full lists of outfit for Ladles and Gentlemen. and ship-sailing in formation, may be had on a pplication, or post free. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Estahlishxnent," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 15 5 , 156, an d 157, Minories, 83, 54,85, and 86, Aidgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

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, which was carried by acclamation. Lord D. STUART accordingly took the chair, amidst pro longed applause. When this had subsided, he said—l thank you for your kind reception. I assure you that the spirit which I see animates this meeting sets my heart on fire, and gives me courage upon the great 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.) lam 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 oc casion, 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 see before me, and as have already taken place in differ ent parts of the country—because, gentlemen, we are not the first in the creditable course—examples have been set by the provinces to the metropolis, and we are only follow ing those good examples—but I cannot suppose that 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, and 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 ments 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 ; whatever, ce ed by Turkey and t h that were t he deman ds perfectly although I do not believe that she had any grievances lemgiadtime batye.Fraßuntc,ehaonwdecovenr: these so-called grievances having been adjusted, Russia put forward new demands, Prince Menschikoff having been sent to Constantinople to negotiate on the subje ct f the Holy Places, and the Russian Crovernmentha . o solemn assurances to this country, which our Governmentg g iven was green enough to accept—(cheers and laug hter). have heard sometimes that a green oldbl We be commended and desired ; but I must age fsay thi ng to old age of such a Minister as we have good Lord the green deliver me. (Cheers.) Well, Russia having given these assur ances, which were believed, Prince Menschikoff, witicllaracteristic want of faith, according to Russian cus t om, 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 soverei g nty 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 tho 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 Government is not war, I should like to know what war is. (Hear.) Bat these Governments, making the admission that the conduct of Russia wis 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 7 • 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, de c lares, by the despat c h o f C ount 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 w hi c h i s no t s upposed to be agreeable to ears polite. (Cheers and laughter.) T h e 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 1 state of things, and Russia having marched 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 Rnssia ? 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 I there is in the R uss i an Ca b inets a fixed purpose, not only is nothing now but a tool to Russia—(Groans}—that what- ! to subdue Turkey, but to domineer over all Europe, and eves is done and contentm en t Au to the stria is Emperor Nichola so done as to givse and satisfaction extirpate all fre e d om .

He said, ' You might as well ask me to give the Czar all he wants at once ; I might merit and will be aware that you all feel what I feel— namely, that the confidence which we have been accus as well have agreed to all the demands of Prince Menschi koff as sign this ;" and, therefore , he assigned reasons to tomed to put in Ministers has been abused.

(Hear.) The following is the resolution, favour of the Turkish people, but he wo uld remind them of . the motto of the immortal Nelson—"Engl and expe cts every series o f Russian aggressions convinces this m ee tin g that 1 man to do his duty." He thought the spontaneous evolu . tion of public opinion that evening must have the effect which it deserved to have. He congratulated them on hav 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 urope, 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 cut down last year by some brutal Austrian officer and whose case was turned into a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence—a course which, in the 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 s'esilar 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 so —was seized at Smyrna, 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 th e present Ministry. (Groans.) Therefore, 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 led to further cheering.) He would now make way for one whom he knew they were all anxious to hear, the gallant Admiral Sir Charles Napier. (Cheers.) Sir C. NAPIER then came forward. and was received 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 Whigsnever 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 the party 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 continne 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 Ido 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.) lam a peaceable man, and I will be there also ; I am just as m uc h a man o f peace as Mr. Cobden ; I am as fond of comfort as he is, and should like to seo this country happy, peaceable, and prosperous, and every man enjoying himself. (Cheers.) lam not fond of bloodshed, but my way you s le it like a piece le it now ? Will of preserving peace is very different from me their time ago that he would take Russia and crnmp mode. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cobden told of brown paper; why does ho not crumple he can only Se bastopol, and in the Baltic ? (Laugh r. If do that, he will save an enormous sum of money. (Hear, he crumple the army in its fortresses, te an ) d hefleets in crumple him up, do that and this, and the other thing, and hear.) If you tell the Emperor of Russia that you will 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 notwithstanding 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 th em up ? (Hear, hear.) H e w ill 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 o a n_ whatevera ( lo (loud the Sea of Marmora and th e D ar d anelles. (Hear, hear.) Let nny u a s udte lo rsoc o rica k pt_ti back. Was Czar in treaties so — f a a of Russia should send on a moat insulting embassy. to Constantinople one of th e magnates of the land, accom pauied by the admiral command i ng the fleet, and by the general commanding th e army on the frontier ? (Hear.) It was as much as t o say h ere is the admiral to examine the ports, and the genera l to examine the forts, and if you do not succumb, our fleets and armies will be upon you. t d that la e u v g e e h r y te en knownra a proud 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. (Ch eers .) 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 Russians and make war against them. (Cheers.) I hope they will do it successfully ; but they must be supported. (Cheers.) We and France must support them with all the power we can. (Cheers.) H a vi ng sa id so muc h a b ou t Russia and Turkey, there is one thing we are bound to do. If we come forward and assist the Turks to resist the aggressio n of Russia, the allies that assist her will be also bound exact from her proper terms and conditions for he r Chris tian subjects. (Hear, hear.) I feel very ve o n the subject, because, after the settlement of the l a st Eastern question, when Turkey was supported, her she did not fulfil r omises to the her promises to the Christians, or keepP Egyptians. (Hear, hear.) I repeat, I hope and trust helping hand, we s h a ll that, if we come forward to lend a promises that also insist upon Turkey performing all the 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 passage through the Dardanelles, it was owi ng t o 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 publi • c 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 ( the Crown that unshackled - exercise sary prerogative, which present cher, the only possible safety for this realm." came forward in this way because she dation of their Government ; and the I to place their Government in so humili they could not escape from obeying her ing the means for the deception of ELIE we n as VW its degradation. (H ear , hear.) This was no t a question < 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 foll ow i ng 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 l oat h e As from their hate, for they'll be fleeced by both— Who, even in plundering, forge religi ous name To frank their • • ill, and, without fear or shame, Call down the : oly 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 knew 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 d enounce d 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 l a a n tent spark of libertyoern the Government. It required no great judgment in any one to know beforehand h ow th e Government would act. modern The head of th e G overnmen t, w h o was trained in the school o f d espot i sm, f eare d t o offen d R uss i a ; h e f eare d t o shake th e s t a bilit y o f t h e imbecile Government o f A us t r i a ; he dr ea d e d t o see Hungary in commotion again, and Kos suth recalled—(cheers)—he dreaded to see the further pro gress of constitutional principle in Prussia, and to see the Mazzini b rought back to the bosom of his country • he shuddered a t th e idea of Poland rising againfromherashes • d, therefore, diplomacy, intounder mhei his n a u c eys,, had and brought England to this point—that her only any was a man who, by perfidy, perjury, and assassination, had de stroyed the Republic of France. 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 Colin cll.- 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 understand 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 originally moved was then put to the meeting. and unanimonly agreed to. Mr. URQUHART then moved his amendment 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 c l u b tossed poe or to another like battledore and shuttlecock, there was neither pi engative for the Crown nor liberty for the people. He moved his resolution in 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 it passed without contradiction. Captain MAYNE REID 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 I 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 was 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 th e y looked back upon their former history, they would find that the tricksters of foreign countries had always out tricked the tricksters of England. Ho 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 r amour 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, he (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 to 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 believed that peace was no longer possible. He was no lover of war—he would be glad to see the sword turned into the ploughshare ; but ho believed the time had come when war was not only just, but a strict and holy necessity. There were times when even the good brood-brims of the country, the Cobdens and Brights —who, he believed, were conscientious and patriotic 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 ; sh e was fighting for her cou n t ry , her altars, and her home s . A n d a no less noble cause called upon England to bear her part in the struggle. They ere bound by treaty to protect the integrity Turkey. Throw interest to the winds ; their honour called ° ailed p! (Loud cheers.) But he had a very slight e belief u that them. resolutions would have any effect upon the Government. Ho 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 check." 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 g ive Englishman leave to take part iu the coming contest, and draw his sword in favour of liberty. (Cheers.) Mr. HARNEY seconded the resolution. He contended th a t England should interfere promptly, decisively, and effectually, by force of arms. (Cheers.) The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. BROWN moved the next resolution :—" That this meeting 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. NICaOLS seconded the resolution. Mr. TRELAWNEY felt as strongly as any one the duty of succ ouring Turkey, but cou l d not agree in the observations that had boon first mad e in referenceb to Lord Palmerston. They should recollect that at the t ime o f t h e H uu , arian war Lord Pahnerston's hands were not strengthened. It was not the fault of Lord Palmerston ere HTheungary were not efficiently ass i sted in 1848. the way—th ey were bound by treaties w w h r ic e w h lffi on t ld ti m es at n y e it excessively diffi cult for them Hungary. Th ere had been a motionmade in the House of Commons for the reduction of the standingarmy, and where was the use of barking if they were not prepared to bite, or of shaking their fist i n th e f ace o f R uss i a i f 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 (Hr. Trelawney) 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. (Hoar, 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, bo entrusted to a de putation, to be presented to her Majesty." Mr. MOORS seconded the resolution, which was adopted. Mr. HODGES proposed the sixth and last resolution " That a copy of the f orego i ng resolutions be tarusmitted to the Turkish ambassador." The resolution was seconded and carried. A vote of thanks was passed to Lord D. Stuart, and the meeting separated. - ~,~ :~ ;•- ll, °r Ala POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. „ P.A.TRON—H.R.H.
