Sir G. STAUNTON, M.P., movedthat the report be received.
The motion having been seconded,
Dr. FREUND said that he was willing to admit tome of the
charges that had been alleged against him, but he still with,
tained that others of them were untrue. He had eo oppor.
tnnity of bringing forward witnesses to rebut these charges,
or of cross-examining the witnesses who were produced
against him. He confessed that he had been betrayed into
too much warmth of temper, and he was cony for it. Mad
been said thar.if he did not resign, the King of Prussia would
withdraw hie subscriptions, that Chevalier Bunsen would
withdraw his, that the committee would resign, and that
his medical colleagues would retire. It was very eurpn• •
that the parties who made these statements etre . hag
through Mr. Ald. Sidney, the highest testimonial,, sad
something still more substantial, if he resigned, but his reply
was that he would not listen to any proposals of that kiatf,
as he wanted only what was just and proper.
Mr. ADOLPHUS BACH denied that any such propose],
came from the committee, and called on Mr. Ald. Sidney to
explain himself.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY, M. P., confirmed in !mad
terms the correctness of Dr. Freund's statement, but being
pressed still further to explain, he said that Chevalier
HeUelercame to him on Wednesday last, and told himon the
part of Chevalier Bunsen that the King of Prussia world
withdraw his support from the hospital if Dr. Freund did
not resign, that he (Chevalier Bunsen) would alto withdraw,
and that the committee and medics] staff would resign. IV,
was told to inform Dr. Freund that if he did resign he
would receive testimonials of their esteem and regard, and
that as he was put to considerable expense in regard to the
hospital, and was lstely married, they would give kin
substantial proofs of their regard in something else. (Hest)
Mr. E. BUNSEN said that his father, as a philanthropist,
and as having the interest of the hospital at heart, was most
anxious that peace should be secured, and be was willing to
make every effort for this purpose. He might have failed in
his object, as others had failed, but he did not think any on.
would doubt the purity of his intentions. It was only to be
regretted, as Dr. Freund hod thought fit to introduce this in-
terference on the part of his father, that his father had
thought himself called upon to try what he could do, in his
private capacity. to restore peace and harmony.
After some further discussion, the report was received.,
Mr. Alderman lattoxar, M.P., then proposed the follow.
ing resolution :
That the general court of directors, whilst It regrets the want of
harmony subsisting between the authorities of the hopital, i. a
opinion that Dr. Freuud's active uerhaboess from the very fotuidalits
ot the hospital-that the asoduous, benevolent, sad humane tendert
evinced by him in the discharge of the office of enacting peyote.-
entitle bias to the continued coufidenee of the etipporters this met.
lent charity.
In so doing he said that he had shown it to Mr. Bunsen,
who signified that be would support it if two words were
struck out, which words were acoordiogly struck out. lie
also quoted the testimonials of Chevalier Bunsen, of Mr. A.
Key, Sir B. Brodie, and others, in favour of the zeal, acti-
vity, and ability of b... Freund.
Sir G. Stranneote seconded the resolution.
Mr. TATLOR said it would be degrading to the committee
to retain their seats after the report which had been read, if
the resolution which had been proposed were carried. HA
would therefore move as an amendment:
That in oonsequence of Dr. Freund has big publicly declared In the
general court of governors of the 11th of October, the report of the
haws exotnittes on the subject of his conduct on the 25th of Sept. to
be a lie, ens thla report lamina now been declared by the 130111psittee
of investigation as to his conversation and conduct to be proved, that
Dr. Freund be requested to resign.
Mr. LiAIDECICENS seconded the amendment, and said that
it would be impossible for the committee to act with Dr.
Freund. It would be the ruin of the charity if the resolu-
tion were carried.
Mr. Alderman Sionav said he was perfectly astounded at
the conduct of the committee in proposing the amendment,
after what had been said to him by Mr. Bunsen, that he
would support the resolution.
Mr. Bunion said that Mr. Alderman Sidney forgot to
mention that he only promised to do so on the understand-
ing that Dr. Freund was to make an ample and unequivocal
apology. He had hoped that parties might be brought to-
gether, but now it was impossible.
Mr. S. Quartet said that in cases like the present it was
always better that a separation should take place, and he
would put it to Dr. Freund whether it would not be for his
own interest and peace as well as for the interest of the has
pital that he should resign.
After some remarks from Mr. C. Cochrane and others a
division took place on the amendment, from which it ap-
peared that there were 33 for and 37 against it. The amend-
ment was consequently lost, and the original was then
carried. The meeting then eeperated.

THE BISHOP-ELECT OF MANCHESTER.—Ssturdsy
had teen appointed for the censecration of Dr. Lee, st
Whitehall Chapel, but the ceremony was postponed
it was understood, after the trial of the criminal informative
filed by the prelate elect against Mr. Gutteridge.
TESTIMONIAL TO B. HAWES, EsQ FROM TEI
Etat-rose or Laneirra.—On Friday evening a meeting of
the subscribers to the fund for presenting a tentiosonial to
B. Hawes, Esq., one of the late members for the borough of
Lambeth, was Xeld at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, L.
Redhead, Esq , in the chair. The secretory read the report
of the committee, showing that the sum of seven hundred
pounds had been received, end that additional sums had been
promised. The committee recommended that the fund
should be applied to cover the expenees of any election that
might take place for the return of Mr. Hawes to parliament
for any borough that might seek his services—a reservation
of one hundr.d pounds being roads for the peep se of pre-
senting to Mr. Hawes a piece of plate, bearing an inscription
that should set forth the object for which the fond
had been raised. Amongst other communications a
letter had been received from Sir John Stoddut,
enclosing • dealt for 101., and stating his inten-
tion to make it 601. in the event of the sute
scribers determining to appropriate the fund to the purpose
of promoting Mr. Hawee's return to parliament —J. H.
Harmon, Esq., proposed a resolution embodying the reconr
osendation of the committee. He said—The most suitable
and graceful compliment you could pay to Mr. Hawn,
would be to restore him to that place in the House of Cot e
mons which be had so usefully and honourably occupied.
Some gentlemen, however, more cautious than their neigh.
boars, called upon the meeting to act on the discreet sags
of that eminent professional, Mrs. Glasse, and first elk
their hare," in other words, to raise a fond before elsee
mining upon the mode of its disposal. That was menial' ye
o ice recommendation ; for it might tarn nit that the ini
would be inadequate to the purpose of carrying out there
peal, whilst on the other hand it might so happen Mad
would be too large to be limited to the wimple object ef
piece of plate. Hs was happy to say the latter was thereon
to be dealt with. The committee went forth to their labium
with a very long resolution for their guidance, and 2sitit
some back with a very short one, and say they have
7001., and that other lama have been promised. The higheld

sot confine the inestimable boon to their clergy. Vestrymen

which his daughter and other relatives perished. Deceased,
who was 72 years of age, had only Me:. per annum from the
East India Company for kis services, although Lord Comber-
mere had taken up his case, and deceased had himself
memorialised Sir James babiogton, the deputy chairman,

o'clock yesterday morning, Bartlett Louis, his French set.
not, hearing a strange neise in deceased's room, went to Ns

frightful gash in his throat, and in his right hand an open

tinued the witness) she did not require any advice.—
Coroner Then you bad no medical aid at all I—Witnese
Yee, sir, he came shortly before she died.—Coroner : That
was toy late ; and, according to your doctrine, if a woman's
huitand is living she can be preserved, but if she is a widow
she must perish for want of medical assistance.—Mr. Shaw,
a surgeon, then proved that the deceased was in a state of
cirticulo mortis when he called to attend her, and that she
was oat of the reach of all human skill.—By the Coroner :

LITERATURE OF THE LOWER ORDERS.
116TCH TliE 71/Tll.
Hitherto we have dealt with that section of the lite-
rature of the lower orders which looks to amusement as its
highest aim. We now approach that which addremes itself
—with doctrines false or true—to a more earnest audience.
The political organs of the people have a purpose in them :
and from a contemplation of that purpose—alum:et uniformly
developed in their literature—a wide and safe induction may
be drawn as to the political ideas and opinions of the indus-
trial classes of this country.
The Labourer; a Monthly Magasine of Politics, Litera-
ture, Poetry, 4c., edited by Feargus O'Connor, Esq., ELF.,
and Ernest Jones, Esq., Barristeest.Law. The Peoples

ithirrefs. lAs Republican ;a M y Magazine, addressed '
to all Inquiring Men, especially to Radical Reformers of all
classes; and The Poor Man's Guardian, 4c.—form the
group which claims our immediate attention. Some of these
titles are not a little significant. Demagogy and democracy
are often found in company, it is true ; but notwithstanding
the mischievous presence of false or self-interested teachers,
it cannot be denied, and it ought not to be concealed,
that the real tendency of political science amongst the masses
is towards republicanism. It is a natural enough conclusion
with inespeneneed miads, that the machinery, the
tion, of governments is responsible for social evils—anolintharith
such a conclusion, to desire a change in the distribution and
administration Of power.
Tits first work on „our list is one of the organ of the
