Hr. W. Wars thin read—not without elicitiog some
marks of disapprobation—the following letter :

" Midborst, Nov. 7,1866.
"My deer Sir,—l manot, lam sorry to say, take a part
in your demonstration mean the arbitrary treatment of
N. Victor Hugo and his brethren in sails. Bat, although
distance from town and other engagements prevent me from
being present, I sympathise very eordially with the pro-
noun of the meetleg. Surely such proceedings as that
which you are meeting to protest against ought to open the
rinse( at least that part of the public which is aupportiag
the war from a sympathy with liberalism abroad, as to the
gross delusion that has been prettified on their credulity by
those who have told them that in the hands of our present
government the war IS which we an so/raged is a struggle
for liberty. Depend on it the tendency, both at home and
abroad, ever sines the peace of Europe was brakes, has
been the very reverse: and give us but a few years more of
war, cad we shall Sad ourselves retrograding to the dark
political doings of Sidmostles evil dep.—Asa believe me
faithfully yours, " R. Connaic."
Mr. Waal alto read letters from Mr. C. Gilpie, Mr. G.
Thompson, Mr. P. A. Taylor and Mr. G. Holpeke, each
expressing sympathy with cite Jersey refugee. Ho then
sieved the following resolutions :
" That this meeting utters its indignant paten against
the recent impale= of refuges from Jassy ; and affirms
that foreigners landing I. the dominion of the British
Crown berme at ones entitled to the natural and legal
right of Engliehmen—public eausiastion and trial by jury
before exposers to any penal omespososs.
. That this meeting pledges itself and calls upon the
country to resist, by all lawful means, the apprehended
attempt to terry through parliament mint invalidating or
restrictiag the right of sanctuary."
After some general remarks of an historical sharatiler,
he observed that if they wished to know who we
the author of the resent copulae's, they meat consider whom
it wee most likely to benefit, and no one could doubt that
this was Louis Napoleon. (Hear, bur) If, again, they
applied Shakopee:. s test that sea hated those whom
they had Wand, that test plated in the same direction.
(Hear, hear.) If they were asked whom had the refugees
wronged ? it might be summed that they had written no
sentence for which say minister dare bring them into en
English ann. They wrote a chapter of history, that was
all. Louis Napoleon sees however, the seamy of history.
Ever non the mead Bartholomew he bad been angry with
histey, sad be soiled for elyalsion beaus men simply
stated the events of a given day in a given year. (Hear.)
The speaker was then proceeding to express his regret that
the refugee question hod not been combined with the war
question; but, being net with unmistakeable symptoms
that any remarks in opposition to the war with Ruda
world be decidedly unpalatable to the majority of the meet-
ing, he abstained from attempting to enlarge on that topic.
Mr. Eattert Joins seconded the resolution.
The resolution was rhea pat and carried, there being only
tae dismatiest ; and
The CLIMAX hung detlared this to be the tweets-
dos of the proceedings, the meeting, after giving a vote of
thanks to the boa. potions& himself, dispersed.
The whole of the proceedings occupied less than two
hours.
