The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceeding*,
Mr. GEORGE CRAWSHAY, who was loudly cheered,
regarded this not merely as • Hungarian but as
aa European question; nothing but the energetic
conduit of this emote, hat prevented Resale from setting
upon Tratkey. That was the termination of the series of
movements which commenced at Paris in Fobruary, 1841,
and he (Mr. Crawday) might remark that, upon a calm exa•
saissation of the proceedings of the people of Europe, he was
convinced that the example of France had been too
hastily followed ; and he trusted that, should France make
any fresh movement, the other nations of Europe
would remember that the npubbc of February had been
followed by the rising of Jane—that the establishment of a
republic at home had been followed by the do etruction of a
republic abroad. (Omen.) owevor, in spits of the
temporary defection—for he hoped it was no m' re than tem-
porary—of France from the cause of Esropean liberty,
use Hungarian cease, but fey the intervention of Russ.a,
would have triumphed. (Cheers.) He regarded the fell
ot that cause as • European calamity. Some even in this
country had described it u the " establishment of order "
—but it was that sort of order which • Russian general
once described No reigning at Warsaw, after the city
had been sacked. (Hess.) Mr. Cobden had done great
service in showing the weakness of Ramis, as well as
el:poring the Austrian loan though he (Mr. Crawshay)
could not go with him in hi:recent declarations with respect
to peace. (A votes "We of no use preaching peace to a
bear.") There would hove bun great claimer to this country
if ado tided stand bad not been made. The strength of a
country in relation to the world consisted not merely in the
amount of its physical powers, but also in its boldness and
spirit : and even • powerful country might be brought down
'enough the imbecility of its own government. It Britain
had receded in this matter, all Europe would have said
that she was afraid. There was another thing : we had
• large trade with Turkey. He would not say that we
ought to interfere with the affairs of every eountry in
the world ; there must be seine relations before we could
pros erly interfere ; but we had had relations with Turkey
for • very long time. Our commeree with Turkey
was more important than with soy other country in Europe.
Mr. Crawebay concluded by moving the adoption of a memo-
rial to the government expressing the objects mentioned
above.
The Rev. W. PALMER, of Chatham, seconded the
memorial.
Lord DUDLEY STUART rose amidst much ebonies,
and said-1 know that among great dies and important
towns of this great eonatry which have come forward, to
their honour, to proclaim their sympathy for Hungary, their
desire to see the ancient constitutional rights with the
modern improvements designed by Komuth established in
that onuntry—l know that among these great commu-
nities Newcastle has been one of We first. Almon the
very first meeting held upon this subject, during the
struggle for Hungarian independence was held here ; I
read the accounts of it with satisfaction and delight. I
have since seen that noble example hollowed ins different
parts (nth, country, from the north et Etoonsed down to
the west of England ; and I have said to myself that it
would be for me a happy and a proud day if ever I
thAtid have an opportunity of expressing to you, face to
face, how much 1 rejoice to find you sympathising with
CI • ia may sympathy for the patriotic brave. (Loud
cheers.) Bet I knew that your attachment for the psi•toi•
plea of liberty, that your sympathy for those who in ionise
parts, like your own forefathers, have struggled for liberty
is not of recent date in your history, that it Is sot
Li nhed to the present year. You have come here to con-
sider w hither you ought not to raise your voice* in behalf of
thus gallant men who alter strugehug and fighting a brave
and glericnu fish: against se paralleled odds, after deeds of the
greatest valour and noble sacrtfioes for the sake of their coun-
try—succumbed not code Telenet the Austrians; for I do
not know where that va.our has been demonstrated, except
against unarmed men, prisoners of war, and helpless women
--(bear, beer)—not to the valour of the Austrians whom
they beat Apia and again, and turned out of the country •
for there was a lime when there was scarcely an Austrian
moldier in all Hungary, there were only • few in • remote
corner of the country. (Applause.) You are met in the
cause of those refugees who were not vaernatetted by the
Austrians, but were overwhelmed by innumerable hordes et
savage Muecovitei; who yet, however, would not have suc-
ceeded, had it not been for treachery in the Hungarian
man. You are met in the cause of these men who, after on
daring much distress, and after such a struggle, sought and
obtained refuge on the Turkish territory When they had
come there, they thought they were safe ; the Turks received
them with epee arms. and smeared them of protection. They
thought that at least they were personally safe, when ot a
sudden there came a cruel and ruthless demand from two
northern despots to have them given up, that they might be
barbarously put to death. (Cries of "Shame.") The Sultan,
setting sgreadenunple, Mehometan as he is, to many Chris-
tian rolers—(load teeters) —imp lied by generous impulses,
at ogee met the odious proposal with a decisive "No."
That was the answer of the pliant young sovereign to that
infamous demand—(applause)--and the consequence was, a
suspension of diplomatie internam, which, in fact, amounted
to • threat of war. War is a great evil under any circum-
stances; but what must it be to a weak country attacked by
• powerful neighbour? Tug Turkish government appealed
to us; and I rejoice to know that Lord Palmerston, In hie
answer, urged it upon the Sultan to be firm ; and that ad-
vice was backed up by men-of-war sent to the Dardanelles.
The Austrians had spread • report and stated in official
documents that the Sultan had agreed, with the consent of
our own government, to keep them in confinement. I do
not believe it; but it is not ,ufficient for a man to stand up
and say he doss not believe • statement without giving a rea-
son for the contradiction. The t: Okla rep rte from Vienna,
all through the war, were often false; and the same system
is pursued by the base Austrian government now.
(Applause.) They killed Count Louis Batthyany, and, not
masted with his death, they now malign his character, by
cnareing him with having planned the murder of Count
Latour. Thera is no foundation for this state.

not even charged then• but they state it now.
Sod are the edemas; of the base tools of the
Mutant government. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord hav-
ing, at some length, urged the improbability of the Turkish
government having taken any such course, addressed the
meeting Ur some time wager upon various bombes of the
question before them, and ant down amidst long-cmtinued
applause.
-Mr. S. DAVIDSON, a mein of Hungary, reading in the
town, briefly expressed his duke for the sperstby shown
towards his countrymen; and the memorial was then adopted
with ono disesatient.
Mr. C. LARKIN moved the adoption of a memorial &-
premise Freest intervention in Rome.
Mr. JOHN GALLOWAY seconded the motion, which
was carried with two dissentients.
