MEETLXG IN LAMBETH.

- --•
Yesterday evening a meeting of the inhabitants of
Lambeth was held at the 'torus, Kennington, to consider
the propriety of adopting an addr.ss to M. Kossuth. Thu
Chair was taken by W. %V ILLIANIA. Esq., M.P.
The platform was hlied by most of the principnl inhabit-
ants of the borough, and the body of the room wai densely
crowded.

The lAIHMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that
the peesence of such an immense assemblage manifested the
deep sympathy the people of Lambeth felt fur the suffer-
ings ul the people of Hungary, and their joy at the escape
of the illustrious Kossuth flout the fangs of the despots.
(Cheers.) The reccpuon the people of England were now
giving to that remarkable man would prepare him fur the
welcome he was sure to receive on the other side of the
Atlantic. Such demonstrations as the present proved that
the onirit of liberty was still alive in this country, and that
we were alniqll4 to see other countries have greater political
pris ikges than even we ourselves enjoyed. (Hear, hear.)
rvry device that malice could invent had been employed
to traduce the character of Kossuth, but the people of
England never took charges upon hearsay, and having in-
vestigated the charges ul the despots, bad ems named that
the isssonal character of Kossuth was entirely without
stain. (Cheees.)
Mr. F. DOCLTON rose to move the adoption ut the ad-
dress te Kossuth. Under other circumstances he might
have been content to let Cie aildriss stand for his speech,
but he could not resist the opportunity of expressing his
satisfaction at the manner iu which the name of Kossuth
was received by the people of Igualsdh. (Loud cheers.)
Bach reception was the best answer that could be given to
the calumny which a portion of the public press of England
had showered urn that illustrious man. (Groans—" The
Times.") Sue 4 espressions of opinion must have a power-
ful effect on our foreign policy, and we had a man at the
bead of our Fureign-oltice who would be ready to endorse
that opinion. (Cheers.) He (Lord Palmendon) had sup-
ports d the noble Sultan in protecting Kossuth, but he
might have gone further and protested against Russian in-
terseutio n. Hungary asked now for our sympathy, and
she had it, but the time might come when she would ask
fur more, and then it would be for us to consider whether
she should have that also. (Loud cheers)
Mr. W1.1313E1t seconded the resolution.

Dlr. SLAt'la, in supporting the resolution, said that the
calumnies which were showered down upon Kossuth by the
hireling pr... of this country, came originally from Austria
herself. They came from Schwarxenberg, who having
committed a gross violation of murals in this country,
sneaked away to avoid the pecuniary consequences.
(Cheers.) 'f hey came also from the Archduchess Sophia,
the mother of the present Emperor, who was remarkable
for nothing more, than what in polite language might he
called the flexibility of her morals. (Loud cheer.) The
Times had the other dor said that Napoleon had been
unable to overturn the Austrian empire, but the
Times forgot to add, that the most powerful resist-
once came from Ilungary itself. (Cheers.) It was a
curious circumstance that while all Eng Load was wel-
coming Kowuth, the Mayor of Manchester heal-
tated to give him RR official reception. Now,
the Mayor of Manchester was a new made knight, and
perhaps like a eat in pattens, or may be a hog in armour,
was not yet quite at home in his new dignity- (Lona cheers.)
Mr. RUSE reminded the meeting that the lanes of
20,000 men were bleaching oil the plains of Hungary, and
20,000 more tilled the prisons of Austria and ot Italy. ,
Haring alluded to the mode iu which Ko.suth had
karncd the English language, the speaker proceeded
to say that lie looked upon his acquiring that language
as a great fact fur the future regeneration of the world.
(Cheers.) They were told to wait for France; but ha
advice to the two great Saxon races was, to go on and nut
wait for France, which seemed as if she never could settle
bar own affairs. (Cheers.) The Emperor of Austria had
not even a legal right to the kingdom of Ilungary.
lie would merely, in conclusion, recommend to their
careful consideration the speeches of Kumuth, which
he foretold would, when collected, become the very Bible
of liberty. (Loud cheers.)
The address was then put and carried amid the most
prolonged and vociferous cheering, mingled with one or two
tremendous groans Mr the Times.
Mr. M•LEUD then moved an address to the Sul.
tan. Ile believed that Lord PRIMCIVOIS was deserv-
ing of their thanks fur his exertions, and that
the Tunes deserved their denunciation for the manner in
which they had employed the Lamest slanders to eubserve
their dark and bloody purposes. (Loud groans.) Un the
other hand they were under great obligations to other por-
tions of the press. (Loud tries of "the !lady News,— and
cheerinx.) As be was getting hot and they were getting
he would not detain them longer than by moving the
address.

Mr. LYONS seconded the motion, which, like the former,
was carried unanimously.
Mr. TIIWAI'IES nioced the appointment of a com-
mittee for the purpose of signing the addresses and making
arrangements for their presentation and transmission.
Mr. GREEN seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.
Thanks were then ♦oted to the chairman, and the pro-
ceedings terminated.

IsLlNGTote.—Last evening a crowded public meet-
ing of the rate-payers of St. Wary, Islington, was held in
the large room of the Lansdowne ALIAS Tavern, Isliogton-
green, for the purpose of adopting an address to his Ex-
cellency the Integitivernor of Hungary. Mr. J. Wyld, M.P.,
took the chair. Mr. Ilarris mused the adoption of a congra-
tulatory address to M. Kossuth breathing the hope that ho
may yet live to free his country from its merciless tyrants.
Mr. H. Lord seconded the motion, which was adopted una-
nimously. A second address to the Sultan of Turkey and
the thanks of the meeting to Lord Palmerston were after-
wards moved, seconded, and adopted, when the meeting
separated.

Rossurit TO SOME FRENCH EXILES.
Citizens,—The exile replies with gratitude to the
greeting of exiles. It is hand in hand in common sufferings
and efforts that the oppressed peoples shall march more
resolutely to the conquest of liberty and action.
Nothing on the way should turu them from the object.
Your great nation has a splendid mission to fulfil ; and that
to, to blot out the shame of the Unman expedition, so to act
that the republican flag shall never again be hoisted by
absolutist novemmonts as an ironical lie; to reconquer the
eminent place which it held in European humanity as one
of the most brilliant foci of alliance and general civilisa-
tion. It mast labour to that end unceasingly. Do so, in
concert with all those who ni.irk out for the people the road
to liberty, the pest tradition of your fathers.
Any exclusive solution put forward so a substitute foe
the wow et one Or MIS men, for the instinctive sentiment
of the sillies er tw the dogma of national sovereignty
•-every lateeeraut glass tending not to modify but to
abolish some of the elements of social life, and to
violate the seared rights of human inviolability,
throw you beck bees your aim, would condemn
you so isapetesey fee good, sod would detach you
from that alliance with Illy country and all countries
to which you do brow. the password which should
suite both nations must be ardent and constant endeavours
to mum the triumph of the republic, as a form of govern-
Ment which permits the realisation of all the noble ten-
dencies of the people. Imy this, however, with the convic-
tion that she will know her duty, and will try net only to
realise the republic at home, but to protect the nation
which shall join in the same cause, and ag.dust every foreign
fore, ready to violate their sovereign right of disposing of
themselves.

lhu is what the oppressed world expecte of France—this
L the wish of In who has not hitherto met with homage,
tending. as you seemed to fear, to detach him from what he
&elan' to the Marseilles tarople, but who would not the
less have remained faithful to the sentiments be once ea-
peeved. and to the great idea of the solidarity of nations.
