Gauss of happiness also to see the meeting graced with the
presence of so many of the fair sex. It wee to be understood

That this meeting, viewing with extreme horror and di*.
gust the decei,tul and tortuous policy of the Austrian govern-

Utoee brave people, calls upon all free nations both in Europe
and America, as they value the institutions under which they
live, emphatically to petition their respective governments to
exert their lltolo3 influence to obtain ter the Magyar people
a restoration of their ancient constitutiinal liberties, and for
those individuals of their race who are now unjustly endur-
ing the penalties of confiscation and banishment, restitution
of their property, and liberty to return to weir native land."
This he supported in a long and eloquent address.

mit. and Polish refugees, has excited universal admiration
throughout this country ; that the thanks of this meeting be
tendered to L'rd Palmerston (of whose general policy it
highly approves) for having energetically supported the
Turkish government in their resistance to this unparalleled
eggressioo, and that hi. Lordship be assured that his efforts
to preserve the independence of an ancient and vaiusble ally
of the British nation will receive the cheerful aid ready sup-
port of all classes in this country, provided that the Turki.h
government adher. ato its original resolution, and whilst it
affords protection to the refugees imposes no restraint on
their personal liberty."
The third resolution wee moved by R. H. AN VI YL. Esq.,
and seconded by the Rev. JUIN PAJLIIT, and carried
unanimously.
" That this meeting, while regretting that a portion of the
English press prostituted itself to the infamous service of de-
fending the cruel oppressors of Hungary, by misrepresenting
the noble Hungarian nation, at the same time tenders its
warmest thanks to the conductors of those journals, both me•
tropolitan and provincial, which have given their consistent
and continued support to the cause of Hungarian aide.

dent of the government of France with the British govern-

is an event which has excited the liveliest feelings of pedal-
cation in the minds of the inhabitants of the British emidre
who have bailed the union of the French and the British
Bag on the present occasion es an earnest of future hararisy
and good will between two great countries, and as an augury
that two brave nations whose contests in times past have been
a ealasnity to Europe, will henceforward be joined together
as the defenders of the deists of civilisation and humanity,
and es the protectors of the oppressed throughout the
world."

eon fed by EDWARD WALLSR, Eq., of

who have devoted their energies to the same gauss."

posed to the meeting, and moved its aderpti

The firmness and upward tendency which hsa been
the leading feature of the English stock market since

was a fair amount of business transacted, and
ecarcely any deviation from the opening price took
place. Consols were first coiled 964 to iex dividend
for the 16th instant, and were next done at 96t, but
they soon recovered the opening price, at which they
continued stationary for the remainder of the day, and
so closed. The Three per Cent. Reduced were tint
done at 964, from which they varied to and then 4,
being last marked 964. The New Three-and-s-Quar-
ter per Cents. were extensively negotiated at 974 to
