Mr. C. HAWKINS moved " That it be referred to the Is-

what line of street would, io their opinion, best tend to re-

Mr. JAIIIM Low taowd : That, with a view to the
more affective management of the affairs of the Irish So-
ciety in (Mime, it be a standing order, That those members
wbo have served on the Irish Society for two years shall,
ogee the lapse dem year, be ea-appointed to ism a m-
ooed two years, is order that the society may have the fall
benefit of the experience they have gained during the first
two years." Mr. Low said he was an that the motion

two years to make themselves fully acquainted with the
duties of the society, not only on account of the peculiar
nature of the property, bat of the peculiar tenures under
which it was hold. Ile was now nearly closing his second
year. (Laughter.) lie thought swoon very unbecoming a
deliberative body, as h e inferred from them that the idea
wee entertained that his object in briugiog forward the mo-
tion was that ho might continue a member of the Irish So-
tasty Committee—au idea which he altogether repudiated.
The motion fell to the ground for want of a meander.

WANT OP ADDITIONAL DAIWA ACCOMMODATION.
Deputy PRIIITAIMS moved—" That a refugees having
been made to the Bridge House Beings CIIMMIAtee re-
specting flostkwark-bridge, they be inetruent further to
consider end report on the plans and estimates for the erec-
tion of a saw bridge between Southwark and Blaelefeses
bridges, sod the approaches thereto, in wren that the
court may be enabled to tors a comparative estimnee be-
tween the erection of the new bridge end the gong Meat

pied the sumnien Mae seat (Hear, bear.)
The maims was eseended by Mr. Hessen.
Deputy MARILIODE was at all times se anxious as possible
to saes tie plaids wary, and as two references upon the
subject under eguideratitm were already before the ens-
mittee, he felt it We duty to opposethe motion, and to
move that the court proceed to the business of the day.
Deputy BANNOCM considered the question to be one of
the greatest importance that could be considered by the
court for the benefit of the citizens. The inquiry if pro-
perly conducted, need not cost a very large sum of money,
while it would greatly strengthen the hands of the cons-
mitt", and very much aid them in seesetelaing the value
of seek structures, which could not be arrived at without
pen ste and accurate reports of itopinars capable of giving
r~hion. If such a sum were given for Southwark
trop as bad been proposed on a former occasion, it would
be s reedy extravagant piece of expenditure. (" No, no,"
ion Mr. H. L. Taylor.) The whole of the opposition to
the present inquiry bad been of the discreditable oaten so
fesymealy exhibited by members who denied that any pro
*PM 111111rovemeat could bo effected of any description
maim dray themselves were the oriengtors of it. Units
Mr. H. L. Taylor, or Mr. F. H. Hell, or Verity Harries,
were at the head of a great improvement—
The LORD MAYOR Mee, and put it to the good sense of
Deputy Bennoch wetter he thought any good would miss
from Imputing personal motives. (Hear, hear.) Re
thought that debates should be conducted upon publio
matters, as far as potable, without reference to Individual
members. (Hear, hear.)
Deputy Beene:mu was very much obliged for the gentle
hint, and the kind terms in which it was conveyed ; but
when he saw a gentleman shaking his scanty lock of hair,
and saying " I wilt take are you don't de that "—(r,-
roar, and loud Mee of " order.")
Mr. BUCLNALL—A personal reference is very ungentle-
manly, and cannot be answered anywhere but out of doers.
Deputy Bee coca said he did not wish to be go personal -
but when he found a gentlemen shaking his head end
stating explicitly that the motion never should be carried,
he (Deputy Bennneh) came to the conclusion that that mem-
ber had made up his mind, in conjunction with a number
of gentlemen who were always ready and willing to vote
with him, that any proposition coming from an Independent
member of the court should not be received.
De= Lorr.—That is untrue. (Confusion, inertia
of IN ...I)
Deputy BRXXOCIL—I know it is impossible that any-
thing I say will be received with ordinary patience at pre-
sent.
Mr.,. Wooo.—l rise to order. My friend says it is
impossible that anything he states will be attended to.
When any gentleman in this assembly addresses himself
orderly he will be heard with patience, whoever he may be,
It is painful to wit:use& scene like this. (Hear, hear.)
The LOAD MATOR.—I think Deputy Buttock has really
no ground for his statement ; and I am sure, judging from
the temper and the disposition of the court this day, that
they will patiently hest him or any other gentlemen. I
shall edam for every member a right to be heard ; sad I
mistake the court if I do not find a ready response to that
desthuratios. (Cheers.)
Mr. Under-sheriff ANDIRTON thought Deputy Benwoch
had es meth ground for the statement he had just made u
he had for those that he had made in another place.
Deputy Bu voce Reid be bad made Li./ Statement that he
was not ~seed to prove if an opportunity were afforded
him. Re tbsa gave • statement of his reasons for not
dembaele that Berathwark Bridge should be pur-
ebred the seepteatiooe ably because of the small

Mr. H. L. TAMA baying very bemeirosely, and amidst
general cheerios, replied to the spew& et Deputy Bennoth,
said ha should woe the madam.
Alderman Was, after enemies the groat pain with
which he bad Witeeed to a debate of penned • character,
said he should van for the motion.

Deputy P 311171311 replUed, and the amendment was pat
and negatived.

REMOVAL OP TEMPLE BAR.

---
Two petitions were presented by Mr. hadaton and Mr.
B. Hodgson against the removal of Temple Bar, and re.
ferred to the City Lands Committee to examine and report
upset.
Mr. Hamm presented a pettiest of the Landon, West-
admisr. and Vauxhall Bums Packet Company, and of the
=llll2.ennt Packet Company, for facilities for the
of passengers at the Barry aide of London Bridge.
It was referred to the Bridge House Estates Committee to

Councillor Ill'Arsam seconded the resolution, which was
carried by aselematioe.
Mr. Txostm Baowx moved the second resolution:—
'That this mooting is of opinion, in order that the war now
raging is the Demblea provinces may be brought to a
pomp and estibelley soselasion with the least detriment
the political latereels as well a the trade and commerce
of Burp, eat our goverment should render immediate

in dealing with foreign questions, that in future publicity I
should be given, from time to time, to all matters in the
foreign department of state affectieg the character and
honour of this country in its relations with other cations
and peoples."
Mr. Poore seconded the resolution.
Mr. thIQUIWIT. who was received with applause, spoke
in support of the second resolution. He said this was not
the first opportunity he had had of addressing a Glasgow
audience. He commenced his public labours in this
city, and these were of the most arduous character,
chiefly because of the want of that enthusiasm

signed by thirty theasand of the citizens of Glas-
gow, c the ISTOMISSIS with crime, and it
was read in snaski beak Mews if Pediment, but to
that petition as farther attention was pail, and he found
that every statement le it was this day confirmed in our
own experience. A geatleams went had refund to the
fall of Hungary, and the resolution stated that Turkey
should be supported by the force of arms. Why, the fact
was, England had attacked every state and every principle,
but she had n been found attarking Bark. He ap-
pealed to the testimony of Kossuth on the matter in ques-
tion. He (Mr. Unishart) had pointed out to bits false-
hoods in the Nu books—statement' framed Mr the perms,
of disguising the troth—to prevent the English nation from
knowing that its government were serving the purposes of
Bowe. Kossuth had never ceased to imply that Hungary
owed its tall to the secrecy with which our diplomacy is
conducted. They were met to consider what steps should
be adopted to frustrate the " aggressive policy of Russia,"
and they felt themselves equal to that enterprise. (Loud
cheers.) This could not be effected without some
great mental effort—all the means which had been put
into operation hitherto had proved futile, and something
new mast be found. It was true that public meetings
could only act through governments—active support was
not at present available for the end is view, and as for
positive support, the government did not want it. Let us
take time to examine the state of affairs at home. Right
sad might combined, victory will ally itself to justice.
Hestia is at present met by his equal, and the effect of
foreign support has only a tendency to destroy self-re-
fiance. The Porte has declared that it has proclaimed
war on grounds common to England, and the momeut
that the Russians ereeted the Pnath, the western powers
ought at ants to have interfered. Notwithstanding
vacillation, the Sultan resisted the weight of all European
authority, and he (Mr. Urquhart) called upon this meet-
ing in this matter to resist the British government. He
feared that a storm was about to break seen, home
than Russia—the policy of the Cur was celcolated to
involve us in war with our equal—with France. (Cheers
sad hisses.) Souse dissented—he was accustomed to ob-
loquy and dissent, the matters he propounded were too
abstruse for a nation to follow ; but present obloquy was
future power. States in the midst of greatness had fallen.
The Athenians ran after news, admired the splendour of
their markets, and held their Peace Congresses—it might
be that our attention, directed from the real policy of the
'away, would in the end rrove disastrous.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr. PKOODFOOT moved, 11211 Mr. GEOROS ROSS
seconded, the third resolution—" That a memorial to her
Majesty, embodying the sentiments of the foregoing reso-
lutions, be transmitted to Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's
Secretary of State for the Hume Department."
Votes of thanks having been given to Mr. Urquhart for
attending the meeting, and to Mr. Moir for his conduct in
the chair, the proceedings terminated.
