Kossuth the " Working Man's Penny Testimonial" (suggested some months since by Mr. Douglas Jerrold), consisting of an elaborately bound copy of the works of Shakspeare, in a bookcase, forming a model of the poet's house at Stratford-on-Avon. Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., occupied the chair, and was supported by M. Kossuth, Mr. Douglas Jerrold, Mr. Cobden, M.P., Sir Joshua Walmsley, Mr. Alder man Wire, Mr. Nicholay, and many influential persons who have taken an interest in the career of M. Kossuth in this country. The room was crowded to suffocation, and a large number of persons were unable to obtain admission. Long before the proceedings commenced the people in the body of the room became very clamorous for accom modation, and it was at once evident that the space provided was scarcely sufficient to meet the exigencies of the occasion. Silence, however, was at length secured, and there appeared to be every desire to allow the busi ness of the evening to proceed without any undue inter ruption.

CONTRACT FOR TALLOW. Department of the Storekeeper General of the Navy, Somerset place. sth May, THE Commissioners for Executing the Office of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, do Hereby Give Notice, that on TUESDAY, the 31st instant, at One o'clock, they will be ready to treat with such persons as may be willing to Contract for supplying her Majesty's Dockyards at Deptford and Woolwich with RUSSIA OR ENGLISH TALLOW. A Distribution and a Form of the Tender may be seen at the said Office. No Tender will be received after One o'clock on the day of Treaty, nor will any be noticed, unless the party attends, or an agent for him, duly anthorised in writing. Every Tender must be addressed to the Secretary of the Admi ralty, and hear in the left-hand corner the words, " Tender for Tallow," and must also be delivered at Somerset-place, accompanied by a letter signed by two responsible persons, engaging to become bound, with the person tendering, in the sum of 1,400/. for the due performance of the Contract. small n e a t t a l bl e y e facing u e t e e d chi m a e rd del a s e f p 1 t a h c e e d f t a h r f a t e m s e t id moOnliala, a cottage at Stratford, composed of wood of various colours, the most conspicuous being white holly ; and on a silver tablet, over the centre window, was inscribed these words :—" Purchased with 9,215 pennies, sub scribed by English m en an d women, as a tribute to Louis Kossuth, who achieved his noble mastery of the English language, to be exerci se d i n t h e no bl es t cau s e , from the page of Shakspeare." The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said they were assembled for the purpose of carrying out and com pleting a design formed a year or two ago by the work ing classes of this country, at the suggestion of his friend, well known to them and to the world—Mr. Douglas Jerrold. (Loud cheers.) Those noble and true-hearted men, on the arrival of the illustrious Kos suth, just delivered from captivity imposed upon him by the enemies of the liberties of the world, upon the shores of this country, determined to offer to that distinguished patriot the testimony of their regard, their esteem, and their admiration. Mr. Douglas Jerrold suggested, for reasons which were known to them, that there could not be a more appropriate testimonial to be presented by the working classes to Louis Kossuth, than a copy of the works of Shakspeare ; and accordingly a subscrip tion was entered into by several thousand persons, and a copy of the works of our immortal poet was procured and placed in this model of the house of Shakspeare, with a view to its being presented by Mr. Jerrold, m the name of the working classes of England, to the illus trious Kossuth. (Cheers.) His lordship proceeded to expatiate upon the great merits of M. Kossuth, as the defender of the liberties of his country, and stated that he had lately been made the subject of base inventions circulated by those. who having a giant's strength had the cruelty and injustice to use it like a giant. M. Kossuth had nobly won the proud distinction which had this evening been conferred upon him ; and he was de lighted to think that such a reward had been bestowed upon him by that class of people whose privileges it was his ardent wish and endeavour to uphold. (The noble lord concluded his speech amid considerable cheering.) Mr. DOUGLAS J ERROLD then rose to present the tesimonial to M. Kossuth, and having paid a high tribute to his genius, he said, Sir, on the part of thousands I herewith present to you this testimonial, in tribute of their admiration, their sympathies, their best wishes. And, sir, hoping, believing, knowing that the day will come when you shall again sit at your own fireside in your own liberated Hungary, we further hope that, sometimes turning the leaves of these word-wealthy volumes, you will think of Englishmen as of a people who had for you and for your cause the warmest admi ration and the deepest sympathy, and, animated by these feelings, resented with scorn, almost unutterable, the dastard attempts to slander and defame you. The day will come—for it is to doubt the solemn purposes and divine end of human nature to doubt it—the day will come when the darkness that now benights the greater part of continental Europe will be rolled away, dispersed by the light of liberty, like some suffocating fog. The day will come when in France men shall re-inherit the right of speech ; the day will come when in Austria men shall take some other lesson from their rulers than the stick ; and the day will come when in Italy the temporal power of the Pope, that red plague upon the brightest spot of God's earth, will have passed away like a spent pestilence. That day must and will come. Meanwhile, sir, we wish you all compatible happiness, all tranquillity, all peace ful enjoyment of the sacred rights of private life in England—in this England that still denounces the political dictation of a foreign tyrant, as heretofore she has denounced and defied his armed aggressions ; for to submit to the one is to invite the other. (Enthusiastic cheering.) M. loatituzli, who, on rising tk speak, was g r eeted. with dAdening cheers, 'Which lasted for several minutes, then said—Having, upon serious consideration of time and circumstances, already before my return from America, decided not to speak any more publicly in England, I lost so much the ease of style and the habit of oratory, that I can scarcely forbear to feel embar rassed like a debutant, in venturing with my broken English once more to offend the language in which a Shakspere wrote, and Douglas Jerrold has just charmed your ear. (Cheers.) I fear the melody of its tones will break at the fibres of my unwieldy tongue, like the chords of a harp under the metallic fingers of an iron hand. Still the honour conferred on me on this occa sion, the gift which I receive, the men by whom, the time when, and the manner in which it is offered to me, requires from me such a respectful acknowledgment and such gratitude, that you were indeed entitled to charge me with puerile affectation should I neglect to manifest my deep emotion at receiving this deli cate testimonial of kindness, consolation, and re gard, and to say a few words of warm and sincere thanks. (Cheers.) My lord, I have here received this evening a precious addition to the numerous tokens of friendship and sympathy to my country, with which people of different climates—different in origin, in lan guage, religious worship, habits, and political organisa tion—have honoured me—tokens worthy to adorn the National Hall of new-born Hungary, when once the trials of national misfortune shall pass. And may I sink or swim, may I live or die, I trust to God they will be placed there, to stand as memorials of the brotherly tie which unites the different members of mankind to one common family, which has one common Father there above. To those memorials the old Magyar will lead the children of his children, to inspire them with the same just feeling of brotherly affection to their fellow men, and tell them how we have merited those tokens of world-wide sympathy, by having fought bravely and suffered ungrudgingly for freedom and fatherland, and admonish them to remain worthy of that sympathy, by using wisely, and by maintaining resolutely, that free dom which we will have conquered for them. That, sir, permit me to say, will be a more adequate use of this your valuable gift than it would be were I, with selfish egotism of innocent joy only to keep it to delight me and my children with at my own humble fireside. This, your noble gift, gentlemen, accompanied with such noble words as were spoke, I trust you will not refuse me the permission to devote to a loftier use. There is a deeper meaning in this your precious gift. It is my nation's, not mine own alone ; and for such I will honour and will cherish it. One of the merits of this gift is that these works of Shakespeare here are the gifts of 9,000 English working men. Why, my lord, that looks like something of public opinion, I dare say. Penny by penny, ennobled by the noblest title of property, hard honest work, is a revelation of the people of England's feelings. My lord, penny by penny it is a vote showing that the people of England, in its sympathies for the oppressed, does not so much care about the frowning of foreign despots, whom some like to flatter, and some would fain please. To be sure these 9,000 working men, who thus honour me, are not yet the people of England. My lord, that I know, but they are from the people. My lord, bone from its bone, and blood from its blood, who but think and feel as the people does, and cannot otherwise think and feel but just as the people does ; the people which, in its uncorrupted spontaneous manifestations, was, is, and will always be the purest revelation of man kind's divine origin ; the people which, with its plain natural aspirations, often points out a better direction of policy, and is a more reliable guide to the most learned politicians, than all the contorted language of sophistry; like as Shakspeare has drawn from the limpid source of nature, more truth, more beauty, and a more instructing philosophy than all the scholastic controversy of his age could have taught him. (Cheers.)

You POLTIMORE COPPER and GOLD MINING COMPANY. ADJOURNED HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEETING of RE GISTERED SHAREHOLDERS, held at the Offices of the Company, Vernon-house, 50. Pall-mall, on Thursday, May 5, 1855. CHARLES HENEAGE, Esq., in the Chair. Tile Circular convening the Meeting having been read, the follow ing Report was laid before the Shareholders : Published this day, "THE PRESS."—Being a Weekly Pap er, intended to ml an obvious void in Journalism, and to com bine, on an entirely new plan, Political, Literary, and Artistic Re sources. To be published every Saturday.-0111ce for Advertise ments, 110, Strand, London, where all communications should be sent, addressed to the Editor. To be had of all News-agents. Moue) , Orders for 6ubscriptions to be made payable to Mr. Alfred bre. - - REPORT. In meeting the Shareholders for the first time, the Committee have much pleasure in being able to report most satisfactorily as to the position and prospects of the undertaking. It w 11 be remembered that the Company was formed for the pro duction of copper mainly, but as the gossan of the locality had been proved to be auriferous, and as immense deposits existed on the Pal timorc sett, a yield from this source was made an anticipated ad junct. There Is now before the public a fair estimate of the average product'veness of this gossan—nut from picked specimens or excep tional pieces but from numerous experiments taken from the general mass which had no auriferous signs. These experiments Inyt, of no further doubt as to the presence of gold, and that in suf ficient quantities to render it highly remunerative. The reduction in bulk has exceeded expectation. The cake of gold which is on the table weighs 26% ounces, and was extracted from 20 tons of red gossan. The circular which was sent to the Shareholders on the 16th of last month, a transcript of which is added to this report, contains the particulars of the reduction; but it is necessary to mention here, that the red gossan, which proves an average yield of 1 oz. 7 dwts. per ton, is apparently an Inexhaustible deposit, while the brown, from which 6 dwts. of gold were extracted, besides silver and copper, can be traced across the entire sett. There would, conse quently, be no difficulty in bringing to surface the 300 tons per week proposed to be taken by Messrs. Rawlins and Watson at 41. 4s. per ton, or double this quantity ; so that much more than the large profits in favour of the Company mentioned by those gentlemen may be calculated upon. A question, however, of much interest here presents itself fur the consideration of the Shareholders, namely, whether it would not be advisable to erect reduction works on the premises, under the super intendence of Messrs. Rawlins and Watson, or others; but, in the mean time, the Committee have taken the necessary steps for a con tinuous supply of the red gossan to St. Helen's. A strong reason in favour of reduction works at the mine is the fact, that the brown gossan, which could give but a small profit by tran.mission to Messrs. Rawlins and Watson, would return a cons-derable benefit if reduced on the mine. The Britannia Mining Company, whose sett adjoins the Poltimore Mine, have contracted for the erection of works for crushing and amalgamating their auriferious gossan, under the di rection of Captain W. J. Moorsom and Mr. Mitchell. As respects the production of copper, all points likewise progress with energy and efficiency The necessary machinery is on the ground, the wheel is nearly finished, and in about a fortnight it is anticipated the full power will be in motion to clear the shafts and levels of water. In reference to the old works generally, it is no exaggeration to say they are gigantic, and the natural inference to be drawn is, that they were not carried on without beneficial returns ; but whether it was for copper or for gold, or both, whieh the ancients explored, there is not the slightest clue to determine. 't here is not even tra dition as to the period when these extensive operations were carried on, but there is every indication of their being the labour of Romans. Slag is found in different parts of the locality, but nothing can be ex tracted from it to show whether the reduction was for the precious or the baser metals. There are four engine-shafts sunk to depths of 20 and 40 fathoms ; nine whim-shafts from the surface ground to the adit-levels, about 30 to 40 fathoms deep : 300 fathoms in the eastern, and 200 fathoms in the western side of the valley have been removed in the adit level front the gossan lode, in sonic plseLs in chambers of great di mensions. Tile copper. or banifylde lode, has likewise been sunk and driven on. All times different points will be explored and carefully examined so soon as the mine is clear of water. The heats, lobbies, and archings have also been executed In a manner evidently regard less of cost or labour, and the Poitimore Mine altogether presents an area of vast operations and interest. It is probably one of the largest undertakings in the kingdom. Its extent and capabilities, in fact, can only be fully understood by personal inspection, and all who visit it will return satisfied of the mineral-resources of the property.- An accountant has investigated the accounts of the Company, and handed in a certified balance sheet, will h shows that the number of Shares paid up,' inclusive of those appropriated to the lessees in pur chase of the sett, was 41,720, leaving a balance of 8,280 shares, which the Committee recommend should be offered to the pubic at 3/. per share, giving the present Shareholders a priority at that mace. All the charges to date have been disbursed, with the exception of some tor the machinery, &c., now in course of erection, not exceeding 500/. ; and the balance to the credit of the Company at the bankers is 19.7541. I7s. sd. Considering the strong probability of early profits from the re sources of the mine, the Committee propose to the Shareholders to cancel the 2nd of the rules and regulations, which provides for the payment of dividends from capital, until the mine should be produc tive, and that the next meeting should be declared special for the purpose in pursuance of Rule 26th. Proposed by the CHAIRMAN ; seconded by WILLIAM FELL, Esq. ; and resolved : That the Report now read be received and entered in the Cost Book. - - rroposed by CHARLES CLARKE POPPA, Esq. ; seconded by FRANCIS BILL, Esq.; and resolved: That the best thanks of the Meeting are given to the Chairman and Committee of Management for the efficient manner in which the affairs of Company have been conducted. Proposed by WILLIAM GREENE, Esq. seconded by Captain MOOR -8011 ; and resolved : That the present Committee of Management be re-appointed, and do consist of Charles lieneage, Esq.

I certainly am not the man either to excuse assassins or to justify assas sinations, though you all are taught in your universities to honour Brutus with the name of a hero and patriot. I only wonder why all who justly condemned Libenyi for his criminal attempt have nit all of them equal words of condemnation for other assassinations. But that I will leave to their own conscience, However, Libenyi having stricken his blow, General Kempfen sent word to his martial-court, that from the vast number of Hunga rian political prisoners four shall be dispatched immedi ately to Pesth, to be executed there. The court-martial —mark the words, gentlemen—even an Austrian court martial answered that, unfortunately they cannot fur nish his excellency with the wanted victims, as it just so happens that there is no prisoner condemned, or who could by condemned to death, all fit persons having been dispatched in due course. Well, Kempfen answered, " If you have none, I will designate four who, guilty or not guilty, shall die. So he did. The court-martial remonstrated that the designated individuals had already had their trial, and nothing of a capital kind having been proved against them, they had been sentenced upon suspicion—the individual suspected, but not identified, to be to ten years prison ; Juhbal, formerly tutor to the children of my sister, to four years' ; and the two other equally to imprisonment. Kempfen an swered, "Tried, or not tried, that does not matter ; they shall die." And a new special court having been patched up in haste, they have been doomed and exe cuted. (Groans.) Was that assassination committed to frighten political assassins ? No ; political assassins once determined to violate morality do not fear death. From Mexos of old to Charlotte Corday, and from her to Libenyi—all of them have proved it, that they don't fear death. Why, therefore, renew that foul judi ciary assassination to which Louis Batthyani, of immor tal memory, fell a victim in an equal manner ? Why ? to terrify public opinion at home, and to pervert public opinion abroad, so much are they afraid of it. But, in their blind anxiety, sometimes, happily, they choose, to this effect, very curious steps. I lived a retired life for many months. The sympathy of public opinion was still with me for my country's sake. I was sure of it ; the straight, upright, honest heart of the people of Eng land does not change in its moral affections like a weathercock ; but men have, of course, other things to do than to speak always of poor down-trodden Hun gary, when there is no occasion for it ; and my name was scarcely named for months. And they thought, now is the time—there is no public opinion more to sup port him—let us strike some blow at him. Well, they wanted public opinion manifested again. There they have it—and can have more of it—(cheers)—if they please, without any co-operation of mine. Old Eng land's sense of justice will do what is right. But what is the clue of this public opinion ? What is the essential meaning of the honour conferred on me to-day ? But, my lord, what is the due to the honours I met and to the public opinion I elicited in this country ? It is that I touched a cord to which there is a thrilling echo in the breast of every honest man. It is because my theme was liberty, the very word of which is enough to elec trify man's heart, and to bring tears of joy or tears of compassion to his eyes. It was because I spoke of my country's virtues and of its unmerited misfortune, and held up its bleeding image to the world—a theme which cannot fail to move man's heart, to make his blood boil up with execration against tyrants, and with hatred against injustice and despotism—a theme sad enough to make the very stones in the street cry out for com passion and for sympathy. That love of liberty, that sympathy for my country and for all who suffer oppres sion is the next meaning of this manifestation of public opinion, of which the noble-minded 9,000 working men, and all who honoured me in honouring with their presence this assembly, have become the generous inter preters. It is, therefore, I said, your gift has a deeper meaning ; it is my nation's own, and for such I will honour and will cherish it. Myself, lam but the gar dener ; the fruit which I gather is my nation's own ; and that which I rejoice to have gathered to-day is the cheer ing encouragement which the people of Hungary will draw from the once more manifested sympathy of the public opinion of Englishmen. The best thanks, in my opinion, is the pledge which I give you in the name of my beloved people, that abiding our time, we will en dure sufferings, persecution, oppression, but we will not despair ; no adversities shall bend our resolution to have our country restored to its national rights, and to see it once more independent and free. Tyrants may rage in blind fury, and decimate the patriots of Hungary, still the day of redress and of retribution shall come. Yes, my lord, the hangman's rope may stifle the curse on the oppressor's head, which is mixed with the dying victim's last prayer—but no power on earth can prevent that curse falling down on the oppressor's head, because there is a God in heaven, and there will be justice on earth. The blood from the patriot's heart, spilt at the tyrant's command, may deluge the soil of our fatherland, and ckozs.,niay lick up what _there was, mortal in that bloctd) but no power on earth can prevent its immortal atoms mounting to Almighty God—like as the blood of Abel did mount. The body of the martyrs may rot in the cold grave, meat for the worms, but their immortal spirits will gather round the throne of the Eternal, pray ing for justice to their down-trodden native land ; and there they stand, and their name is Legion. I see them with the eyes of my soul. The prisons may be filled with new victims day by day, till thieves and felons have to be amnestied to get a place for persecuted patriots; but there is no power on earth to make a man love his tyrant and hate his native land—no power on earth to make Hungary and Italy not to detest and to abhor the bloody perjurious House of Austria. With these facts, that truth, and all the necessary, the un avoidable, and, I dare say, fantalistical consequences re sulting therefrom before our eyes, what contemptible mountebankery it is to see the despots and their help mates assuming the air that were it not for some so called political conspirators Italy would love Austrian tyranny, and Hungary would get reconciled to its un utterable sufferings and wrongs. (Cheers.) Conspi rators ! But in the name of all that is sacred to man, t innec h le o elvla s e e ncros o .n p s pressors there, they are the conspirators against God, against humanity, against the peace of the world. It is they who make Europe boil like a volcano, and the continent quake to the very foundation of society. Conspirators ! Would you call a conspirator the worm which is writhing beneath the foot which tramples it to death ; the insect a conspirator, which stings towards the heel which crushes him ; or the spring a conspirator that it dares to melt the winter's ice, and push nature to new blooming life ? But liberty is life to man every where ; it is doubly so to a Magyar's heart. We Magyars love liberty. We are familiar with it—we have tasted it—we have purchased it with our best heart vio lation of pl conspiracy divine, human, tythhdueemma dead d n 00 , fs o. andus,,r That ia a kt t e i on z a i l sk laa conspiracywo ,f blood, and having been bereft of it by the grossest strive for it so long as we live by every honourable arrest. I for one declare, in the face of high hea t wß h they shall shalles h m a i l a once, will aid the living to strive for liberty. If that they v so en l , o t n h g at as enj th oy er in e g i y s o l u if r e co in un m try e p w r i o ll te lo ct v i e on f , re l e c d e o rt m a i inly l willm y continuefatherland, t a w nd a , toh ne w ve it r h desire to respect scrupulously yonr country's laws, but o lofacetmoatnheeirpwaitsieo.n.wfrhoemn the e w c le o s n s g o r p es p s re o s f s m ion y in tense solicitude the electric spark of opportunity from the hands of bountiful Providence, to catch from it the which my country is suffering. I should be the meanest could m e nation, both lords and representatives of the people, elected me unanimously governor of the realm of Hungary, and all the millions of my people, county by county, city by city, and town by town, confirmed that elec tion, I was called upon to swear that I would devote all my life to the rights, freedom, and independence of my country. I swore that oath before God and the people, and thus the aspirations of the patriot's heart be came to me the sworn duties of a man elected to the high est place in the commonwealth for that very aim. (Cheers.) I claim neither the dignity nor the title of that place, but I claim the title of an honest man, faithful to his sworn oath. The fact of a foreign despot having invaded my country does not efface that oath, nor can it dispense me from the duties of a patriot, it rather increases those duties by having increased the oppression of my father land. Finally, as to those recent occurrences to which your honourable orators have alluded, I think the most proper course for me will be not to enter upon that sub ject on the present occasion. I believe it was due on my part to bring some facts to the knowledge of public opinion, but it is equally due from me to leave it willsspaewretchsacred de spairing dn fl ao remain f faithfult s future, Englishmen to judge, to define, and to guard English liberties. And so much even I, in my humble condition, may be permitted to say, that even what last evening occurred in the House of Commons, the report of which will carry a thrilling joy to the heart of millions, is a new glorious evidencethat the liberties of England, that cheer ing hope and consolation to the oppressed are sure, be cause guarded by such Englishmen. (Cheers.) It is your part to fix the conditions upon which England is to remain an asylum to political refugees; ours is to wish to know those conditions, and shape our course accord ingly, thankfully accepting or thankfully 'declining to accept the asylum which the institutions of England proffer to political refugees. I say the institutions of England, because it is not from any special favour on account of my name heir).- Kossuth, or on account of our having the honour to be Hungarians, that this asylum is granted to us. Francis Joseph of Austria, once driven away from Vienna, or the Pope himself—(cheers and laughter)—may claim that asylum, may be they will, and get perhaps something more besides, which we poor victims of liberty never would imagine to aspire to at all. All we would venture to desire is, that the world-renowned reputation of English institutions and English liberties should answer their glorious renown also in our special case ; and that while we sincerely desire to respect your laws, and I for one will never violate them knowingly, on the other hand we I should not be desired to abjure the sacred aspirations of our hearts and to abdicate the duties of our patriotism. But against this we feel sure under the protection of your Parliament and the watchi n g e y e ofpublic opinion of England. We are sure, sir—excuse me for quoting your words—we are sure never to have occasion to say in England, that people that live in other people's houses must not expect to be treated as one of the family that will never be our case here, and thus we rely upon it that public opinion will not only protect us, but will also, with the mighty power of its sympathy, continue [PRICE SD. to encourage us not to despair of the future of our op pressed nation ; and thus I hope we will see yet that " time works wonders," even to oppressed nations, and not only to pretenders ; because, to use a phrase of Mr. Daniel Webster, the public opinion of the civilised world is such an impassable, uncxtinguishable, enemy of mere violence, oppression, and arbitrary rule, that like Milton's angels, public opinion, vital in every part, cannot, but by annihilation, die. With this I will end —assuring you once more of my sincere thanks and heartfelt gratitude. (Loud and protracted cheering.) Mr. Alderman WIRE and Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY hav ing addressed the meeting, Mr. COBDEN said his honourable friend who had just preceded him had told them why he thought it his duty to be present at this meeting, and he (Mr. Cobden) would iuform them what had brought him from the place where his duty properly called him, to join in the demon stration of the evening. It was not from any feeling of hospitality to his illustrious friend, for that they had freely offered him two years since, and so far as outward demonstration could make it that hospitality had been most complete. He thought they had done at that time all that was required towards their illustrious guest as a Hungarian and a visitor, but when Louis Kossuth, after his visit to the United States, returned to England he looked upon him not as a guest but as a neighbour, and as such entitled to all the rights, privileges, and franchise of Englishmen. (Cheers.) They had, however, lately beard—he had heard it with humiliation and shame, which he Could scarcely express—that that distinguished man, instead of finding a, .quiet home in this country, had been placed under the espionage of the police. (Groans.) Was that England—was that the country in which states men and. orators were apt to thank Heaven that they were not as the Austrians the French, or ether men. (Cheers and laughter.) Hei came their because he was opposed to foreign intervention in these domestic affairs, and he via equally opposed to intervention in the affairs of foreign countries. He believed that Lord John Rus sell said in the House of Commons that Austria had not made any request for a surveillance to be exercised over the refugees. Why, Austria knew, or ought to know, that Englishmen would not consent to become the spies or gaolers of the Hungarian refugees. (Cheers.) What then, if Austria thought that any such demand would be resented with scorn ' was the English Government or police to be allowed to dog the steps of a resident in the land, and to play the contemptible part that even Austria would not give them credit for ? Now, he said it unhesitatingly, this espionage must be nipped in the bud. (Cheers.) This attempt to transplant into Eng land the worst principles of continental Government must be destroyed by the exertions of the people. He was glad to see the people of London up to defend the rights of the residents of England. He had seen greater determination in the north of England in defending and working for measures beneficial to their commercial in terests, but for any question in which the liberties of the people were concerned, give him the citizens of Lon don. (Cheers.) So long as they could assemble in meetings like this—so long as they had Parliament sit ting, and they could put a Home Minister into the cru cible—(cheers)—so long as they could do that, and distil from him, drop by drop, reluctant admissions, or, what was equally valuable, reluctant evasions, they would not have things like these repeated in a hurry. They had not got to the bottom of the matter yet, but they were determined to have it all out, for the benefit of future Home Secretaries. (Cheers.) And yet, after all, no thing had been said or proved against their distinguished friend which could warrant his being put under this sur veillance or espionage ; for, thank God ! the practice was so unfamiliar to Englishmen that they had no word to describe it. (Cheers and laughter.) He wished to know who went to this needless expense, and what good was expected to come out of it ? Suppose, as they had read in some German papers, that the police of the Con. tinent were in communication with those of London, what good could they do by employing spies in this country to watch M. Kossuth or other refugees ? They could not enter M. Kossuth's house, or, if they did, he imagined they would be soon bundled out again —(cheers) —they could not go and rifle his property—they could not demand his passport. (Cheers.) If the police had got their eyes upon a pickpocket or a burglar, of course they ought to watch him, but they did not require a Home Secretary to tell them to do that, nor had they heard that their illustrious guest was suspected of being either a pickpocket or a burglar. (Cheers.) They were bound to defend the rights which their ancestors had handed down to them, though they had been deprived of some of those rights which had been promised them on the abolition of the feudal system ; and foreign nations possessed rights which they had not. Amongst the rights, however, which England did possess, and which they always had been justly proud of, was that of per sonal and domestic liberty, and they would be miserable and craven individuals indeed if they did not determine to maintain them. (Cheers.) Since he had come into thatroora-be-had heard denunciations of newspapers, but he had heard similar denunciations on former occa sions. He had known aldermen and other authorities denounce newspapers, and be replied to by responsive groans ; but that was not the right way to treat papers with which they might take offence. Was there no other way of opposing newspapers than by groans ? Did groans do any injury to the papers ? He thought some thing better might be done to effect a reform in news papers. He for five or six years had been trying to re leaso them from all taxation—to establish free trade in newspapers. (Cheers.) When their illustrious friend was in America, he in one of his speeches drew a com parison between the newspapers of that country and of England, which he should like to see reprinted for the edification of Englishmen. The people of this country had no daily paper—he meant the mass of the people ; but the daily press made public opinion. If they got rid of the taxes on newspapers, they would take their tone from the people, who would be as truly represented as they were on that platform. (Cheers.) Whenever there was an excise duty, it threw the trade into a few moneyed hands, and created a monopoly ;' it was so with the distillers—it was so with the newspapers. and with every trade where those duties stood in the way of its development. He did not wish to interfere with the newspapers. He had been accused of every crime in the decalogue—not even, he believed, stopping short of murder itself—(laughter)—and he had never taken proceedings against any newspaper, and never would— (cheers) ; and he was sure his illustrious friend would be the last man to resort to law against the press, for asserting the freedom of which he had suffered in his own country. But was there only one paper ? No body attacked the Daily News, or the Morning Chroni cle, or the Morning Herald, and therefore why should they exclaim that the whole press was bad. He hoped never again to hear a groan for a newspaper, but that all who objected to the principles on which the press was now founded, would join him in assisting to establish a free and untaxed press throughout the country. (Cheers.) He went on to observe that within the last few years the Magyars had raised themselves to a higher position than the people of any other country, and he wondered not at it when they could produce such eloquent, such talented, and such patriotic leaders as their distinguished friend. After alluding to the various incidents in the career of M. Kossuth, which have already been made known to the public, Mr. Cobden went on to observe that democracy had failed in France and Germany in consequence of its becoming united with social dogmas destructive to all rights of property, and which had led to the people adopting, or acquiescing in, forms of go vernment of which ho did not approve, but of which neither he nor the people of England had any right to complain if they were acceptable to the inhabitants of those countries. Hungary, however, possessed a con stitution which was invaded by the Austrians, and M. Kossuth was as much justified in opposing that invasion as was John Hampden in opposing the attempt to fasten taxes on the people of this country without the consent of Parliament, and in the defence of which principle he lost his life. There could be no greater proof that their illustrious friend was right, than the fact that the whole of the aristocracy and people were with him, and that he drove the Austrians from his country, and was only finally conquered by the hordes of the Czar of Russia. Mr. Cobden concluded by calling attention to the fact that Madame Kossuth and her two sons and daughter were present on the occasion, and the country would take care of the family so long as they continued amongst them. (Loud cheers.) A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated, with three times three cheers for Kossuth. to MURDER WILL OUT.—A curious circumstance has recently occurred, arising out of a visit to the " Wise Woman of Wing." A retired watchmaker of Stamford, whose wife has for a long time suffered from severe afflic tion, took his spouse to the house of the soi-disant doctress, and, after a consultation, was about to leave, when he observed in the possession of the "wise wom an ' s ' a watch which commanded his instant attention. De manding and obtaining a closer scrutiny of it, the ex tradesman inquired how its present own er acquired it, at the same time informing him that he lost it from his shop eight years previously. The man said he pur chased it of a person in the neighbourhood, and offered to take the tradesman to the individual. The proposal was proposal was acceded to, and when the latter was found and questioned upon the matter, ho declared that he had bought it some years before. and that he had come honestly by it. The ex-tradesman, however, who is blest with a retentive memory on all points where he believes himself wronged, after narrowly scanning the features of the man, excla imed, " I know you know ; I can swear to your countenance as confi dently as I can to the watch ; you are the person who brought to me a forged note eight years a tained the watch as for go, and ob sme the value of the article (Si. o r 10 e / ), auuer. pay my expenses, or you will be v i s it e d i n au unpleasant manner." The man protested his innocence, swore that he bought the watch, and th at the ex-tradesman might take what course he pleased.

In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

SHOULD this portion of the Budget pass, Income Tax must be paid by millions now exempt ; yet it will then be useless to " look daggers " at the Tax, though many persons will regard it as a great " bore" for penetrating their pockets and their earnings—a character often given to other articles of daily consumption called Taxes. None needs waste flesh by useless re pinings, for the sacrifice may be easily and pleasantly survived by agreeable retrenchments, in which much is gained and nothing lost ; and even if the Tax is paid, an annual gain may be accumulating, which will constitute a respectable fortune for Individuals and Families. This is one of the advantages derived from business transactions at the Aldgate and Minories or the New Oxford-street Establishments of E. MOSES and SON, where Attire for Spring and Summer is now ready for inspection, uniting the skid of all countries in the manufacture of materials, and the talent of the best artists in the world in the construction of styles for Bless of the most elegant and seasonable description. The Sprng and Summer Dress Suits, Paletots, and Overcoats, combine the efforts of the most talented cutters and the best work. men in the world; they display a variety of materials and a correct ne.s in fit which cannot be found elsewhere. Sporting Dress, Liveries, Military or Naval Costumes, in styles and general adapta tion excelling all others. Juvenilia Attire in magnitude of fabrics and diversity of patterns, all dis inctly prepared for this season, with skill, care, and experience, which remains unimitated. Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., &c., &c., in variety and superior quality, are presented by E. MOSES and SON at prices so much less than those charged elsewhere, that any description of tax may be paid, without any inconvenience, from advantages arising from pur chases made at the Establishments of E. MOSES and SON. TO EMIGRANTS. The opinion of the most experienced Colonists is that none should emigrate without a suitable Outfit ; if they do, they will become im patient at the loss of their customary comforts, and on that account may be unsuccessful and unhappy. The best and the most suitable Outfits are purchased for less money at E. MOSES and SON'S than at any other Establishment. The Goods are only such as are indis pensable, yet they are all which will be required; the Clothing is every way suitable for the voyage, climate of the country, and the occupations of Emigrants. A separate Department is kept for Out fitting, and the lowest prices charged for every article. Merchants, captains, and others, should visit the Wholesale Department Goods of E. MOSES and SON'S Establishment, where they may pchase from which they will derive an amazing profit. Shipsailing information, and feat Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, may be had on appliion, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradcsman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," 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 ♦NY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishmeuta, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, 3, hart-street, all communicating. Bradford (Yorkshire) Branch, 19 nd 20, Bridge-street. Sheffield Branch, 36, Margate.

All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which no abatement can be made. The Establishments are closed from sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock.

Aqua so habla Espanol CRIMINAL OFFENDERS IN ENGLAND AND WALES IN 1852.—The commitments for trial in 1852 are a trifling decrease on those of 1851. They were 27,960 in 1851, and 27,510 in 1852, showing a decrease of perl 6 l ntwentycountiesof England, halfcent. manufacturing and commercial, and half agri cultural, there has been a larger diminution, counter balanced to a minor extent by an increase in the remain ing 20 counties. The chief increase, however, has taken place in the Welsh county of Glamorgan. Of the classes of crimes, there has been an increase in murders and attempts to murder, and also an increase to the amount of 65 per cent. in concealing the birth of children. In riots, breaches of the peace, and especially in perjury, the increase has been still greater ; that of the latter of fence having been trebled since the operation of the statute of 14 and 15 Vict. which enables parties to suit to give evidence, and which gives summary power to judges to commit for perjury. The decreases have taken place chiefly in rapes, in all offences against property, in offences against the game laws, and arson. In the punishments there has been a remarkable diminution of sentences of transportation. No less than two-thirds fewer than last year have been sentenced for life. CAN THIS BE TRUE ?-1n Wales, and many districts of the United Kingdom, one coffin or shell serves for the whole of the parish poor, it being provided with a false bottom. The coffin is lowered into the grave ; the bolts are drawn when the mourners have quitted the church yard ; the venerable coffin is drawn up again, and the corpse is then covered with earth, as though it were the carcass of a brute.—Church and State Gazate. /~~i / ~ a~ THE FRENCH EMPIRE. The Polish Historical Society, which was estab lished in Paris 16 years ago, held its annual meet ing on the 3d. After a mass, performed by- the Polish priests of the Emigration at the Church of St. Louis en l'lle, Prince Czartoryski, President of the Society, addressed the meeting in a speech in which he endeavoured to console his fellew countrymen for the loss of their political indepen dence, and exhorted them to observe such conduct as would entitle them to a more happy future. M. T. Morawski then read a biographizal notice of the late General Kniaziewiez, who was a member of the society, and who served France with great dis tinction in the wars of the Empire. The sitting terminated with the reading of some poetry by the late Senator Niemiewicz, who was the founder and the first president of the society. An order of the Prefect of the Haute-Garonne has authorised M. Barrande, engineer, and his agents to proceed in that department to such sur veys as are necessary for planning out a railway from Toulouse to Spain by the heights of La Glere. The last accounts from Algeria state that in the neighbourhood of La Calle, the Kroumirs and the Ouled-Ali had attempted to attack the native sharp shooters, who defend the frontier of Tunis, but that the various troops having assembled, and opposed the men collected there, the attempt was immedi ately put an end to,, after a few men had been killed. There was a considerable movement in affairs at the BOurse yesterday:and an improvement occur red in the prices of all descriptions of Government securities :—The Three per Cents., for cash, rose The., and the Four-and-a-Half p er C en t s ., 45c. ; whilst in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for the end of the month, there was an advance of 30c., and in the Three per Cents., of 50c. Bank of France shares remained unchanged. Final quota tions—For money —Three per Cents., 82f. 05c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 95c. For the acColmt—Three per Cents., 82f. 20c. ; Four-and-a- Half per Cents., 104 f. 20c. ; Bank Stock, 2,680 f. The Mortg_age Bank shares declined if., and closed at 885 f. 25c. ; a rise of 6f. took place in those of the Societe Mobiliere, which were finally quoted at 949 f. 75c. The railway share market also partici pated in the general activity of business, there being a good demand for shares, and generally at improved quotations : at the close of business, how ever, a fall of 10f. had occurred in Paris and Rouen shares, and of sf. in those of the Western of France Railway. BELGIUM. In the Chamber of Representatives of Belgium, on the 4th, the order of the day for the discussion of the bill relative to the organisation of the army, was read. M. H. de Brouckere, Minister of Foreign Affairs, ascended the tribune. He said that the Central Section had declared against tho system recommended by the Government, and had proposed to maintain the organisation at present in force. As the Government wished the discus sion to be clearly defined, he should propose that until the adoption of the bill on the militia, the King should have the power to call out such a number of militia as the defence of the country might require, and that the payment of their re serve funds should only be male after ten years ; so that in adopting the period of service of eight years, recommended by the committee, it might be prolonged, if required, to ten years, as proposed by the Government. With respect to the effective, the Government proposed that it should amount to 100,000 men, the civic guards not included ; whereas the Central Section proposed 80,000 men, and from 20,000 to 30,000 of the civic guard. The debate was still proceeding. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the Ist publishes a royal decree ordering the Royal Council to examine all the applications and documents relative to proposed railroads now before the Minister of Public Works and Commerce, and to report upon them with as little delay as possible, declaring; which are the most urgent. Another decree orders the cessation of the conversion of the deferred debt into 8 per cent. consols, accorded by decree of the Ist of October last. The Gazette publishes several de crees for appointments of governors of provinces, &c. The _Herald() states that the postal treaty with England is on the point of conclusion, all the leading points having been agreed to. A Madrid letter of the Ist says :—" A rumour prevails that some important measure adopted in the Council of Ministers on the proposition of the Minister of the Interior, are about to be made public. Amongst others is mentioned one on the corregidors, limit- iug them to certain grand localities, determined on. At present there are 170 corregidors in Spain." AUSTRIA. Countess Blanka Teleky has been sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for taking part in the late Hungarian revolution. She has already passed 3 years in the fortress at Pesth. A new discount bank has been established at Vienna, with a capital of 5,000,000 florins. Prince Danielo is about to leave Vienna for Montenegro, accompanied by Colonel Berger, who was the bearer of the Emperor of Russia's acqui escence in the demands of the Prince. Among the Hungarian refugees now in London, says the German Journal of Frankfort, are two relations of the brigand chief Nosslopy, recently executed at Pesth. One is an ex-notary named Antoine Nosslopy, and the other an ex judge named Gaspard Nosslopy, both of whom were con demned to death by default, by the Court-Martial, in May, last year. The family is a very old one in Hungary, dating as far back as the first immigration. PRUSSIA. A Royal decree has been published in the Prus sian Advertiser, reducing the duty on French spirits 50 per cent. The King of the Belgian's had arrived at Berlin. He was previouly met by the King of Prussia at Potsdam. King Leopold had taken up his resi dence at the Belgian embassy, where he had re ceived visits from all the Prussian Princes. A grand review was expected to take place shortly. TURKEY. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 23d ult., in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :---" It is rumoured. here that matters at Constantinople have taken a turn disagreeable to Russia. The Turkish reform party has again taken courage. The Divan is more favourable to that party since the arrival of the English Ambassador." SWITZERLAND. The New Zurich Gazette of the 4th says :—" The Austrian post on the Swiss frontier near Stablio has been withdrawn on the representations of the federal commissioner. The Austrian Colonel de clared that he was not aware that he had placed himself on Swiss ground. The situation of Ticino becomes more and more embarrassing. The blockade is still rigorous. The Radicals urge violence, but the moderate party advise the Government to make concessions to Austria. The Austrian soldiers on the frontier sing songs, urging the people of Ticino to abandon the Government. One of these songs has the following words : Swiss, if you wish to come to our side, cry, ' Down with the Govern ment, and long live the monks." RUSSIA. The Hamburg News has the following from War saw of the 23d ult. :—" Well-informed persons de clare that the Czar will arrive here towards May 15th, and that his Majesty will have an interview with the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Aus tria. Another account states that the It i Czar will leave for Vienna on th e 15th of May. s, how ever, certain that the Lazinski Palace and the Bel videre have been prepared to receive these illus trious guests. It is said that M. Fronton, Coun cillor of Embassy at Vienna, has been named Am bassador Extraordinary of Russia at the Court of Turin, and that M. d'Oubril, at present at St. Petersburg, is to be Chargé d'Affaireof the Em bassy e Em bassy at Vienna." MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT BRIGHTON.—A distressing act of suicide was committed on Thursday evening, by which the family of one of our most respectable trades men has been suddenly plunged into the deepest distress. The actor in this painful tragedy is a twin son of Mr. Lawrence, of the Terminus Tavern, named Charles Richard, and following the avocation of a painter. It appears that h e was of rather a gay disposition, and within the last f ew d ays he had been observed to be labouring under great nervous excitement. On Thurs day, we understand, he accompanied his sister to Mr. Lawrence's, the surgeon, to consult him on the state of his health ; but that gentleman was not at home. On the same day he did some grain ing, but in the evening he became worse, and his excitement was so great that his family, with whom he lived, were seriously alarmed. About half-past 8 one of his sisters said she would fetch him a handkerchief from upstairs, but fearing to go alone, another sister accom panied her. The unhappy young man, then, it appears rushed upstai rs a ft er hi s s i s t ers , th ey going into one room and he into another on the drawing-room floor ; here he opened a window which faces the terminus, and precipitated himself into Trafalgar-street—a di s t ance of about 30 feet. As soon as possible he was taken in a fly to the hospital, and at five o'clock the following (Friday) morning death put an end . to his sufferings. He was about 30 years of age.—Brzghton Herald,.l s thus WHO HAS SEEN HIM l—A runaway aPPrf s_ nwe utiok ,aet, described in an American Jospo s E wears a .glazed hat five feet WA withcroes eyes, an:-.7d4f-mii-Aod shoes 7 ,81 L --./ firt , I 0 4 41 , 1,7 i) 4, 09 , 171 li 2 $ 59 1. 1° 4 4 0 el 4.5 0 , 'O tt
