THE NORTHERN TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1859

hear.) No man probably in Durope at the -present time,
could have ruled Naples as the King of Naples had ruled
it. (Hear.) go man could have bound the•cbriins around
that people as the King of Naples had donee, ,and if he was
the first tyrant, he was also the first swindler in Europe.
(Hear, hear, and laughte4. He had been able, by tamper-
ing with the exchange, and otherwise 'disturbing the
commerce of the country, so far as it was in his power, to
prevent the taxing of the people, and therdore he had got
their suffrages, solo"spunk, the suffrages, at least, of the
lowest of his people, 'because they were not taxed, and
because he petted and 'fostered them up—so that his tyranny '
fell upon the intelltat and talent of the country, and not '
upon the lowest clam of the population.
The resolution was carried by acclamation.
The Rev. Mr. riowson proposed ;the next resolution,
which was, "That a subscription 'list remain open for
fourteen days, autPthat the amount be placed in the hands
of the Mayor of Liverpool, with a 'request that he would
transmit it to the Earl of Shaftesbury, along with copies of
the foregoing resolution, for distribution among the exiles."
He said, although the cause which had brought them
together was a painful, and as 'had been said by Mr.
Rawlins, an dieting one there was something pleasant in
meeting as they now did 'upota the ground of common
sympathy, •oway from all the strife of party, whether
religious or -political, and to see that whatever might be
their differences of opinion upon subjects which, would
form the material of debate probably for many years to
come, they all in common deplored the cruelty which
oppressed innocent and "honourable men. (Hear,
Hear.) was going to say that they were all
agreed ,to protest against it calmly, but he would
rather say to protest againstit indignantly. (Hear, hear.)
When such men suffered, ?they were all ready to extend
their aid to them, with all the respect and with the sincere
fellowleeling which they deserved, It was no part of the
business of a meeting like that to express any strong opinions
as to -,what Government ought to do either at home or on
the continent. They all -agreed in the wish that every
country in the world could have liberty and order com-
bined. "Probably he might take very different views from
some Of his friends, and perhaps even from some in that room
as to what were the • best means of promoting liberty and
maintaining order, and combining the two, but certainly
they were all as one upon this belief, that in the kingdom
of•the Two Sicilies, -the state of things was such that
neither order nor liberty could be calculated upon with any
degree of confidence. (Hear, hear.) He thought, as a
remark had.been made -regarding an approaching Congress,
that if the great towns of England co-operated with the
Metropolis on the present subject, and all allied
together in this one great effort, they would have what
might be termed an English Congress, and which.
would not be without great influence upon other parts of
Europe. (Hear, hear.) He had great faith in the diplo-
macy of friendly action and kindly feeling. He thought,
few powers were greater than the powers of sympathy if
that sympathy was expressed, and how can they, Englishmen,
express their sympathy in a cause like that, except by
meetings such as that over which their Mayor was then
presiding. (Hear, hew.) The reception of Mr. Gladstone's
pamphlet some years ago gave a sufficient guarantee that
the report of a meeting ' like that would have an effect
throughout Europe. The feeling of the English people
would not be expressed in vain, and the notices which the
newspapers would give of their protocols, as he might call
their resolutions, would be in the highest degree beneficial
in promoting the cause of liberty and order. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Pemberton Haywood seconded the resolution,
observing that after what the meeting had heard, there
was no need to go into further details. The letters of
`Mr.
Gladstone, and the very valuable communications of the
foreign correspondents of the newspapers kept the public ass
fait of such proceedings, and of the testimony of those
unfortunate gentlemen, 'who were, in his opinion, the most
' interesting group of exiles who had sougnt a refuge from
foreign despotism in this country.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. Parker moved the third resolution, appointing a
committee' to carry into effect those already adopted.
Mr. Robertson Gladstone seconded the resolution
He said : I hope, Mr. Mayor, that those who suc-
ceed you in the position you now hold will consider,
as I do undoubtedly, that this day will be one of the brightest
spots in the history of your presidential career as Mayor of
this borough, inasmuch as you have had an opportunity
upon the present occasion of giving your countenance and
support to a cause which is so justly entitled to your favour.
(Hear, hear.) However much, sir, we may differ upon
various subjects of interest. I trust we shall always be of one
mind in reference to every act of despotism and tyranny
attempted by any ruler of a country towards the people under
his sway. (Hear, hear:) Without at all desiring to inter-
fere in the management of the affairs of other countries, I
think we have a right, as civilised people, to express our
views, to approve of what is just and righteous in itself and
to condemn 41-4: svi.;‘,l, ,--4.
numan nature. (Hear, hear.) To Mr. Rawlins we are
very much indebted for the very clear, able, and succinct
account which he has given us of the whole history of the cir-
cumstances which led to the imprisonment of these unfortunate
people, who now'for the first time after a long series of years,
have been permitted to breathe the air of liberty. It would
be hard indeed if there were not among the people of Liver-
pool, as there always has been, a desire to stretch out the
hand of help where help is needed; and I only regret that a
lapse of time more than usual under such circumstances has
been permitted to take place without any public expression
of feeling being manifested upon a snbject of so much mo-
ment. (Hear, hear.) When we reflect upon the peculiar
circumstances under which those unfortunate exiles were
incarcerated, the details of which have been so clearly and
forcibly put before us by Mr. Rawlins,---when we think of
the blessings which have been bestowed by Providence
upon that country to afar greater extent almost than upon
any other ; when we call to mind the beauty of her azure
skies, the fertility of her soil, the genius of her art, her
science, her poetry---and then pause for a moment to inter-
mingle with such considerations the thoughts of cruelty
and 'tyranny which have been shewn towards those
wretched sufferers, • surely these are circumstances
which ought to excite our compassion and our
best feelings, and enlist them in their favour in such
a manner as this day, I trust, will give practical exemplifi-
cation. (Hear, hear.) But, sir, to follow out the whole
history of those individuals, to trace out in all their
various ramifications and details the injustices, to use
the very mildest phrase that can be used, 'the cruelty,
the despotism, the brutal treatment which they re-
ceived from the very first moment of their imprison-
ment, would indeed be calculated to plough up
the most horrible thoughts. (Hear, hear.) It would
almost seem that the moment bad arrived when conscience
aroused something like a fear in the mind of the King of
'Naples, as if he believed that his reign of cruelty waS• about
to draw to a close, and that the period was shortly to
arrive when he was about to be called upon to give an
account to a higher authority. But, sir, whilst we as a
free people have undertaken to venture the expression
of our feelings upon this subject, let us not over-
paint the picture, and whilst we profess; to condole
with others, and to express our sympathy towards them,
do not let us suppose for a moment that our laws, excellent
as they are in many respects, have at all arrived at per-
fection. (Hear, hear.) We have seen acts of petty-tyranny
in our own icountry. We have seen the attempt to obtain
an existence from honest and legitimate sources, even in the
present day, dishonoured, and discountenanced by the highest
civil functionary—not in this town, thank God, but
elsewhere, we have seen the individual making the attempt
consigned to gaol, and we have seen an attempt made, not
at the moment, but subsequently, to blacken the past history
of that individual. Therefore, sir, when we profess to set
ourselves up as the model for other countries, let us first of
all be sure that we have well examined our own position. I
have 'no-doubt that these unhappy exiles 'will receive, as they
ought to receive, a hearty welcome, that their wants will be
provided for, and I hope that painful as he.s been their past
history, a future proportionately bright awaits 'them. I
desire to express towards them, so far as 'I am, as an indi-
vidual concerned, every sentiment and feeling of welcome.
I desire to tell them, that we have sympathized with them
under their trials, and that we are anxious now to express to
them our warmest feelings of affection, and our sincere trust
that their lives for the future may be such as to atone in
sonic small degree for the wretchedness and misery of the
past. (Hear, hear, and applause.)
The resolution was unanimously carried.

Mr. Heath proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman,
which was seconded by Mr. Shimmin, and carried by aecla-
tnation.

The proceedings then terminated, but before the gentle-
men present had dispersed, several subscriptions including
some large amounts, were handed in.
