Lent evening the Right Hon. T. H. Gibson ad-
dallied his ocustitneuti in the Tows-ball. dabble. The
IMP moot the er,wded to 0101115. Mr. Aire= RAMS.
in the theme of the mayor, presided.
The Right Hon. T. M. °meow, on riming, was remind
with great applause. Reviewing the events of the lan secs
nee of parliament, he dotted that them bad bees any reel
defeat of the liberal party In the church-rate rthesties.
He omdmided that the repeal if the paper duty had been
a wagers. He thee showed that the large importationd
liteelp wheat and flour and other provisions into the
eiensky meet to some extent have tended to mitigate the
dinging, and have enabled many to provide for the week
of Abate out of their own surplus mesas. "But sap-
ping," be continued, "that the government of this
*ninny bed been iedeeed, as they were urged frequently,
I. involve themselves in interfereooe in the affairs
of the United States—supposing, by eon» rash and
presipitate recognition of those who are conducting boa-
Whir against the United States—called the CoMaille
rate Staters of America—we had brought ourselves kale
'cotillion with the United State., where would have been
this dour, and ham, and bacon, and eggs (Hear bear.) I
suppose if we had been compelled to mks up arms against
the United Sines by any unfortunate policy blockading

trees of the cotton industry in the present alarming state of
affairs." It tea impanel's to avoid reoopising the he'll-
serest right. of the South at the outset of the muted.
biomes it was a contest of such magnitude, and the maser-
pnts, as they were called, were so numerous and so
powerful ; but there had been no desire on the part of the
government to favour either the our side or the other.
His earnest desist was to preserve strict neutrality, what-
ever might be his individual feelings. Having quoted
from the return of the various articles imported, he stab&
that the exports to the United States in 1862 wasted
probably amount to 13,500,0001. apnea 9,000,000 i. in
1861, sad 21,600,0001. in 1810. It was remarkable that,
notwithstanding the Morrill tariff, the general requirements
of the United States had ationitand an increase of ex-
ports from this country in 1862. " I think we have,
therdore, a right to congratulate ourselves aeon the enc-
ases al the commercial policy which the liberals sup-
ported government in carrying through parliannot the
session before lath and if it had not been for this sound
commercial policy the dieters under which the country now
labelers would have been materially increased. We have
almost Dade this American question an English one, and
people disuse it with all the deposer of those who are
parties in the muffin. I think that to interfere by
the expression of opinion to this extent would • not be
wise; and, for one, I should not go far in that direc•
tine ; but I don't feel myself precluded from reverting
to the past. Without undertaking to predict what will
be the termination of the war, I will state what I be-
lieve to bays been the cause and origin, and whit is
nonesery to be settled in order to secure a permanent
and lasting peen. (Hear, hear.) I have often been
astonished to hear it inserted that slavery has nothing to do
with this war, for somehow slavery must have to do with
it, because it constitutes such a great distinotiou in itself
between the two communities. I bays examined docu-
iamb of undoubted authority to ascertain what were the
mean which the secessiouist states themselves alleged as
the ground for taking up arms, io order to separate them-
selves from the rest of the Union. The first state that
ethethised was South Carolina. When they lint seented
thee peedhied to the world a formal declaration of the
peend el their sernerioe, and the other state@ which fol.
lowed aseerisel exactly on the same growth. Now, what
were these grenade! The first pert of the Scotts Carolina
declaration moth& of an argument showing the legality
' eleseenbou—that if they chose they have a right to secede—
aid the latter part goes on to state the grounds on which
they thick proper to coerce that secession. These were
that a geographical line has been drawn across the Union,
and all the state* north of that line lave united
le the electioa of a man to the high office of
President of the United States whose opinions and
purpose are hostile to slavery. (Applause.) It was not
that President Lincoln had been elected contrary to forms
of law, that there had been any violation of the constitu-
ent, but it was that he held opluioas hostile to slavery.
In another pert of this declaration they complain that the
Northern States have assamed a right to decide upon the
propriety of their domestic institution, and have denied
the right of property established in 15 states and recog-
mimed by the constitution ; they have denounced as sinful
the institution of slavery, and have further aggravated the
eons by investing a great political question with the sun-
Moe of an erroneous religious belief ; therefore there is an
led to the question that the Southern States did not secede
en the question of slavery. They have stated that it was
en amount of slavery and nothing else. In fact, out of the
leer gentlemen who were nominated to the office of prod-
diet, three held opinions favourable to slavery extension and
to the policy of the Fugitive Slave Law ; but Mr. Lincoln
was distinguished from the rest b holding that Congress
had a right to prohibit the sxtsosiou of slavery into Dew
states, sod was opposed to the policy of the Fugitive Slave
Law. These were the opinions on which he was elected,
mid I must confess they appear to met. be very reannahle
°mamma— (Loud cheers.) The South seceded in oonsequethe
of believing that slavery would not be safe under Mr. Lin-
cola's executive, and that the carrying out of the Fugitive
Slave Law was sot likely to be permitted. U Mr. Breathe-
ridp had been elected, there would have been DO thesesion,
as he was the candidate of the South, in favour if the
Fugitive Slave Law, and of opinion that Congress had DO
right to prohibit the extension of slavery. Secession had
taken place, and the consequent war was for the purpose of

ndc'st
prosperous, happy, and enduring empire, and therefore
cannot theirs to see one established in any parted the world.
The bishops of the episeepai church of the Coefederat•
States have raid that the abolition of slavery i baleful,
bade', and postilion. (A Voice That's like parsons.')
(Laughter.) I, on the contrary, believe that slavery is
hateful, infidel, adpestilent. I will tot predict the
course which the events of this war may take, but
looking at the map, which I did to-day, it appears to
me that the geographical position of the North, so
far as territory is concerted, is stronger than it was 12
months ago. They have suffered great defeats, and they
have had some successes ; but I find that the North are DOW
I= of larger territory than they were 12 mouths ago.
which was then debateable ground, they now
posers ; also Kentucky and WestereVirginia, and a portion
of Loonies's. It therefore appears that the territory which
the North possessed at the beginning of last year his not
been lessened but increased in extent; these are fents
which all may ascertain for themselves." The right boo.
gentleman then stated that our policy must be strictly
neutral, that the proposal from Francs for mediation had
beim respectfully declined, that be should rejoice to see the
war terminated, but that he thought we should abstain
from interfering until the time came when we might be
asked to give our good offices. If we were invited by the
proper parties to take part in any negotiations for peace.
then we might do so, but if we undertook that office
without being asked, sod before the proper time, it would
not teed to the promotion of our amicable relations with
America. After a few other concluding observations, the
right hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud cheers.
On the motion of Mr. Huau Manse. a vote of confidence
in Mr. Gibson was passed unanimously, and the meeting
terminated.

ROYAL INSTITUTION OF GREAT BRITAIN. —At a
spacial misting of ths members on Moody last, William
Pule, Paq., ILA., F.R.S.. treasurer aid vice•presi,lent, in
the chair, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was pro-
posed aed unanimously elected honorary member and the
viospatres.

Yesterday evening a meeting of the electors and
non-idecton of Marylebooe was held in the Literary In-
stitution, Edwards-street, Porturen-mmue, for the purpose
of hearing from Lord Fermoy and Mr. Harvey Lewis, the
meinbese for the !mania, ea account of their parliamentary
steireadMip. and a sommition of their opinions on political
quesilmse. Mr. Pam GLIELM presided.

Lord /111111 OT was the lint speaker. He was very
glad to laser his constituents, and it gave Mm =bounded
sailirladire to address them. He would make a clean
breast of ty and ask them for their decision.
He had 0. Lord Palmerston • general. though
sometimes a unstilted. support. Though Lord Palmerston
did set p so hr as he (Lord Ferrooy) wished, yet he thought
coder prime= OkallinolaDolol be was the best possible mi.
sister. He believed the honour of England was safe in
Lord Palsisreteies hands. His lordship was a thorough,
eemOen sad uncompromising Eaglishons ; he loved
Eagland, be served her according to the manner be thought
best and although he did not go so far oa subjects—re.
form far ionanco—as be (41s• 'psalm) wished, yet he con-
sidered it his duty to give him s geonst, though& qua-
lified, support, seeing he had no chaos betwseo Lord
Patinersice's adminortratios and all 111103131prOinisiag

tory adminiseratiks, which be never meld support.
(Cheers-) He would net detain them long on local qua-
tioos. He tly append of the Thames Ernbaskinset
Bill, he the n& the exposer ought to have
hem defrayed out et theampurse, se the amen•
national bestial. that the road which had
tah. of tie MaiyMbeers
mad Kineigton had been shut lip, alser= be de Mid-
nees when primmest met to try to pt it mooed agam.
He approved of the act which had been passed Wellies the
Irof Metiers to order doggies id be indicted on
m:ile offenders. He thought the bill ought to have gone
further and abolished the Star Chamber investigations is
which the juvenile offenders ware condemned to be flogged.
(Applause.) After referring to several minor topics be came
to the Night Poaching Bill, the passing of which
had filled him with diaappo(stmeat and disgust.
(Chien.) The aristocracy very mach delighted in held
sports, and he did not like them the worse for that. for he
liked field sports himeelf. But the aristocracy had by the
Night Poaching Bill called on the ratepayers to ray for
gamekeepen. (Hear, howl He had two objections to
the bill—coostitutimal and financial. Looking at the
bill from • 000stitotioaal pouted view' he would maintain
that it was an infruipment of the liberty of the subject.
(Cheers.) Any policeman might stop anybody—he would
not of course stop the squire—if be thought he had nets for
destroying game, or game itself, in his possession. In point
of fact,- the policemen were made gamekeepers for the
gentry. He and his colleague had done all they could to
defeat the bill, but they had sot been success/
He was glad that the tortes had shown themselves before
the country as they bad done, and he thought the defeat in
East Rent bad mon to do with the Night Poaching Bill
than some people imagined. Re believed • dissolution of
parliament was impending, and he hoped the people would
not be humbugged by tory profestiona. He then alluded to
the distress is Lancashire, and expressed au opinion that
the patient way is which the operatives had suffered proved
that they were worthy of the franchise. (Cheers.) He':
next cams to the American struggle, which be most sin-
cerely deplored. He did not think the republican institu.
Moos of America had brought on the struggle. (Cheers.)
He loved the monarchical institutions of our coun-
try ; be would die for their maintenance if the occasion
required him so to do ; but he believed that if monarchical
institutions had been introduced into America ten years or
twelve years ago, the States would not have held together
so long se they bed done. He believed slavery had caused
the disunion. (Hear.) He did nut think our government
ought to interfere in the struggle. He then went on to
argue that it would be expedient to draw closer our com-
mercial relations with Austria, and concluded by referring
to the defects in our convict system. He did not admire
the Irish system of treating convicts ; it was only 140 S bad
than our own. If criminals were led to know that no part
of their sentences would be remitted, he believed publics
security would be greatly increased. The hon. member sat
down amid much applause.
Mr. Lewis, who was medially reoeived, said the last ses-
sion had been very barren of great measures. He approved,
as his colleague bad done, of the Land Transfer Bill. It
was as advance of free trade, and it would benefit all par-
ties. Great discussion had takes place last winter on the
Revised Code, but he hoped the compromise which had
been entered into in parliameo* would satisfy all parties.
Touching night poaching, he was one of We few who had
remained to the end of the cession to oppose the bill. The
division lists would show that he and his colleague had
always been in their places when the intends of their con-
stituents and their country were at stake. The passing of
the bill showed the superior organisation of the tory party.
His only consolation was that the bill was so bad that it was
unworkable. (Cheers, and a Voice : "Can you tell us how
many liberal members voted for the bill' Why do you
say it was passed wholly owing to the tonsil")
It was no doubt true that some liberal members voted
for the bill, and it was for their constituencies to deal
with them. The members for Karylehons stood before
the meeting only to give an account of themselves.
The question of the public expenditure was now largely
engaging public attention, That expenditure had
arrived at a point which some years ago would have
been considered impossible. Ms. Stansfeld had brought
forward his motion for reduction of the expenditure, and
he did not see how any one could dissent from it. (Cheers.)
Nobody wanted to compromise the safety of the country ;
he desired that that meaty should he preserved, but he be-
lieved that could be done and • reduction of the expeodi-
tem made at the same time. He then glanced at the
Frenoh commercial treaty, sod having remarked that it had
M • large extent compensated us for the loft of our trade
with America. he next adverted to the question of ammo-
altar*, and argued that some millions might be lopped off.
(Cheer) He hoped that in any future adjustment of taxa-
tioa there would be a diminution of the income-ten They
ought also to remember the poor, and in their interest he
would say there ought to be • reduction of the war duties
en tea and arepr. (Applause.) Some people thought that
tea meld be called only a refreshing beverage. but the truth
WY Unlit was also highly nutritious. Laidig, the greet
cement had shown this to be the case, and therefore the
meeting would see the usefully of reducing the duty
on tea. He had spoken to a Chinese merchant on
the question, sod be told him that if any reduction
was not to the extent of Id. on the pound the poor
would not benefit. He therefore hoped the tea duty would
be reduced to that extent. (Cheers.) He then went on to
say that there was great iedisposition to give anything for
the improvements of Loudon out of the public parse. The
hackney carriage duty was levied wholly in the metropolis,
but it wall into the public purse. He thought this
we. unjust, for be was of opinion that taxation which
was levied exclusively ia the metropolis should be
applied to the purposes of the metropolis. (Cheers.)
In connexion with this subject he would sug-
gest that a deputation should wait on the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer before he bed arranged
hie budget. He then went on to express a fervent hope
that they had seen the worst of the Lancashire distress, and
to eulogies the conduct of the operatives for the noble way is
which they hid hermit. Having endorsed Lord Fermoy's
opinion that the patience wish which the operatives is the
north had suffered their privations was an argument for
their enfranchisement, he referred to America, and ex-
plored his belief that we had now seen the List of slave-
grown cotton. He hoped the war would soon come Wan end,
but he thought interference by our government in
the struggle would be impolitic. (Cheers.) The Americans
were • high-spirited people. and they would repel ion'',
ferenoe. He hoped that the North would soon awake to
counsels of greater wisdom, and that the South would gain
the sympathy of Europe by abolishing slavery. (Cheers.)
After tauchieg on various other topics, Mr. Lewis concluded
amid applause by seying be would always do his best to pro-
mote the interests of his constituents.
After some discussion,

THE MURDER OP A POLICEMAN AT ACTON.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. James the
corms', for the western di;isioe of Meldiom aimed an
inquiry at the George sod Dragoa Imo, Aston, to warts=
the cause of the death of William Davey, 34 T, who was
shot, as alleged, by two brothers named Breda, osi Mosby
evening last.
Str.Treherns, of 17, Ovesham-street, and Actor, appeared
to watch the promotion; on behalf of the widow and the
Oornmissioners of Pace.
The jury having been WWII the following midmost was
taken :

Martha Davey said she was the widow of the deemed,
sod os Monday evening he came horse to sapper about half-
wit eight o'clock. Just after be had connewied satin. •
knock like a postman's knock was beard at the door.
Witness *posed it, and fancied she noticed the head of a
inee at the kit land, beyond the gate. She bend • voice
sisCls Mr. Davis at homer
Coroner—Ass you sure be said Davis!
WMl7= Yon. 816• replied le • breath. "Yes! William,
yen are wanted." She thought the voice was the same
which she had heard a few days before. The woos at that
time came to the door and saw her husband, whim she
asked on his returning into the honse who it wee, sod he
Cher, said "The man Brooks," or "That young Brooks."
On Monday night lest after she bad caPed her husband he
left the table to go to the front door, and as she
turned to go back she beard • report of firearms,
similar to the noise of • gun. She felt at the instant
that something struck her on her clothes, allover bor. She
toned round. and sot beige able to distinguish anything
wen** the door. and maw her husband lying on his beck with
his bead on the gravel walk, his legs and feet being near the
pie. Witham, shbough almost bewildered, no to Rock
Villa and procured assistance. Whets the meet whom wit-
tier supposed to be Brooks called some time Wes, be
wasted dowsed to beep a look out at some new beildiega
being erected in the immediate neighbourhood.
By Mr. Treherne—After the shot was fired she did sot
see any one rue away ; she was too frightened.
Hoary Bailey Linehan] deposed that be was a sargeue at
Aetna, and had by direction of the coroner made • post-
mortem examination of the head of the deceased. He
found the left side of the face and the bane of the heed
completely blows away, together with the Fortino of the
brain on the left side. He examined the remaining portion
of the brain, and there, and also in the cavity of tbe skull,
he found several shots, which be produced. These were 23
in number, and from the appearaoce which the injury pre-
sented he ceuld not give a positive opinion whether the
weapon need had been a large pistol or gun. The instru-
ment must have been very near, • portion of the face being
blackened by gunpowder. The cause of death was the gun-
shot wound in question.
The Coroner then said that be did not propose to all any
further evidence until after the accused had been again before
the magistrates, and the remand being fixed for Tuesday
pert, he (the coroner) thought it most adrixable to adjourn
his investigation for a week.
Inspector Searle wished to take the coroner's 'deices' to
the disposal of that portion of the heed of the deceased
which was found in the purge.
The Coroner said that the inspector would, of owes, put
it in the dead-house, with the body.
The interest of a small section of the persona in the room
was palatally excited by the production of this horrible
parcel.—The inquiry was adjourned till Wednesday next.

On Saturday next a great demonstration is to
take place at Liverpool. oo the occasion of the launch of a
lifeboat presented by the National Lifeboat lanitutiou to
their Liverpool breach. and to be stationed Co the river

Mr. NICHOL-AY moved the following resolution
