THE EARL OP MALMESBURY ON THE POLISH
QUESTION.

At the annual meeting of the South Avon Agri-
cultural Society at Christchurch, on Tuesday swaying, the
Earl of NALNICSBURT presided. Io proposing " the Army
and Navy^ his lordship said—Although I feel it is oar duty
to support these two institutions, upomwhich the safety and
honour of our country rest, yet I am glad to say that there
ie no Deed at the present time of their suttee services. We

are ocomerned, although other senors are now engaged is

pot that I do not feel, as every Englishman moil feel. for the
sufferings endured by that country. It is not that Ido not
contemplate with regret the tyranny ender which they are

the feelings mtersilly of every Englishman, I cannot Mega
there is a duty paramount to these sentiments—a daty

country. (Chriers.)• I consider it to be • general principle
that our army sod navy should be only employed
in our own defence, not in any aggressive aotiou
whatever, except in the ease of • war where there is
absolote necessity for our maim in salf-didesce. We
are doubtless, se regards this martins, placed in an awk-
ward position. There have been men In high station, of

have always been illusions, but not so to a great poetics of
the public ; and it has disappointed the Poles themselves, who
have been encouraged in what I feel to be a hopeless

decidedly in favour of peace that there are no masons why
we should enter into • bloody sad a:pensive war under the

spokes. This has occurred to me mere forcibly during the
last twe or three years. Hen of high boom', men devoted
to their country, hays, under the iceman of a generous
enthusiasm, called upon me, and pressed epos me

Poles from Remise dominion. I know I have been thought

extent of actively ioterferiag, or would go to war with the
