any, medical students would accept appointments in the
navy."

kr. WILSON, of Westminster, augured favourably of
the present movement from the unanimity which pre-
vailed among themselves and the support of the public
press, which they received from every organ belonging
to it. Even Punch had given them a lift.
Mr. BEAtraONT, of Hull, supported the resolution,
as he considered the present movement an act of justice
to themselves and a benefit td the nation.
Dr. LEVER, also in support of the motion, was re-
joiced to see so numerous and so influential a meeting
assembled for the vindication of their own respectability.
He had seen, he said, on board of ship, assistant-stirgeons
subjected to the grossest indignities. He had seen the
midshipmen spill ink bottles over the paper on which
the assistant-surgeon was drawing up his report of cases,
and he had seen them "shy" a bootjack at his head.
The resolution having been unanimously agreed to,
Mr. MASON, of Guy's, said that not only did the Ad-
miralty treat the medical profession with contempt, but
also acted with injustice and cruelty to the officers and
men whom they sent forth to fight the battles of their
country without providing them with proper surgical
assistance,lshould they, by the casualties of war, require
it. He concluded by moving the next resolution, to the
effect—" That the acceptance of the appointments pro.
posed to students by the Admiralty must tend to pest-
pone reform, by providing substitutes for the want of
qualified men, which had been produced by the evils of
the present system ; and that the meeting, therefore,
strongly deprecated the proposal, and earnestly called
upon the students of the United Kingdom to sacrifice,
on public grounds, any private advantages which it
might seem to offer ;" which, haVing been seconded by
Mr. Down, of London, was unanimously agreed to.
Several other gentlemen, including Mr. Dad, St.
Thomas's ; Mr. Thomas; Charing-cross ; Mr. Holmes,
St. George's ; Mr. Gascoigne, St. Mary's ; Mr. Duffin,
King's College ; aad Mr. Hepworth, of Manchester,
subsequently addressed the meeting, which appointed a
deputation to wait on the Admiralty with an exposition
of their grievances, appealed in an address to the prin-
cipal medical corporations for co-operation, and agreed
to a petition for presentation to Parliament.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.

THE MOVEIIENT AGAINST THE ARIS-
TOCRACY FUT DOWN BY THE
CHARTISTS.

On Friday night a public meeting wai held in the
large room at the London Tavern, to inaugurate the
National and Constitutional Association, for the pur-
pose of putting an end to the present oligarchical
system, by which a few aristocratic families monopolise
the leading offices of State.

Dr. James Taylor occupied the chair, supported by
Mr. A. Pellatt, M.P., and Mr. Murrough, M.P., and
other gentlemen of Liberal politics.
Mr. ERNBST JONES, the well-known chartist leader,
surrounded by a knot of his friends, occupied one end of
the platform, while a tall policeman stood conspicuous
at the other, as if intended to act as a practical hint to
intrusive speakers. The room was about two-thirds
full.

Mr. A. B. RICHARD%, secretary, read letters from se-
veral gentlemen, including Mr. Layard, who was too
much occupied by other duties to attend ; Sir De Lacy
Evans, who gave his good wishes to the objects of the
meeting, but thought it would not become him to attend
on account of the part he had taken in the operations of
the war ; and Sir J. Y. Shelley, who intimated the pro-
bability of his attendance.
The SECRETARY then read an address to the nation,
issued by the council of the new association, denunciatory
of aristocratic misrule, which was generally well received,
but provoked a tremendous storm of disapprobation
when it asserted that " there are practical men in every
class, but especially in the middle class ;" and the
chairman and secretary found it necessary to qualify the
assertion by saying it included all classes, before the
working men, of whom the meeting principally consisted
desisted from their protest.
The CHAIRMAN then briefly addressed the meeting,
strongly enforcing the necessity of a decisive effort, at
the present crisis, upon the part of the masses to snatch
the reins of government from the hands of an incom-
petent aristocracy, an end for the attainment of which
the formation of a national association was necessary.
Mr. J. BEALE, in a long and able speecb, moved the
following as the first resolution : " That the perilous
state of public affairs and the manifest hopelessness of
improvement under the present oligarchial system, which
has usurped the functions of government, monopolised
place and privilege, and brought disgrace and disaster
upon the country, make it incumbent on the people to
unite, in order to prevent a continuation of the existing
calamitous system, as well for the safety of the nation as
for the honour of the British Crown ; that an association
be, therefore, now formed ; and be called 'The National
and Constitutional Association.' "

Mr. NICHOLAT (of Marylebene) secondesl the resolu-
tion, arguing that the state of feeling throughout the
country was favourable to the formation of the associa-
tion, or even demanded it.

Mr. A. PELLATT then rose, according to the pro-
gramme, to support the motion ; but
Mr. DICKEY', a well-known Chartist, came forward
from one end of the platform, and was net by a gentle-
man advancing from the other end, intent upon moving
an amendment.

After some little delay, the meeting decided to hear
Mr. Pellatt, who proceeded to invoke union as the best
means of beating the common foe—bribery, corruption,
and bad representation. What was wanted was a change
from the present composition of the House of Commons
to a system by which the people should be represented
by men like the Ironsides of Cromwell. (Cheers, and
cries of "And Wat Tyler.") Mr. Pellatt, after a few
further remarks of a general nature, concluded by ad-
vising his hearers to look well to the elections, as they
would never be well represented until members were
returned free of expense. (Hear, hear )
Mr. DICKEY and the gentleman anxious to move an
amendment again came forward, but the chairman ap-
pealed to the meeting to hear Mr. Murrough in prefer.
ence, as he was anxious to return at (moo to the House
of Commons. The great majority of the meeting, how-
ever, denounced this as unfair, and Mr. Murrough was
compelled, reluctantly, to postpone his speech. The
chairman then called upon the gentleman anxious to
move the amendment, who announced himself as
G. HARRISON, a democrat of 30 years' standing, and
the great Chartist of Nottingham. (CheerF.) It had
been said by a preceding speaker that the composition of
the House of Commons was oligarchical, while in fact it
was not oligarchical, but middle-class, and the present
movement was only intended to put the Government of
the country into middle-class hands, and give them a
share in the distribution and enjoyment of place and
pension. (Cheers.) The resolution did not affect the
evils which it asserted t exist, sines it neither alluded to
the ballot nor the extension of the suffrage, without the
enactment of which as law there could be no hope for
the people. The speaker then moved an amendment in
favour of the adoption of a petition (to be signed by the
chairman) in favour of the People's Charter. (Cheers.)
A contest of precedence followed between Mr. Dickey
and Mr. E. Jones, ending in favour of the latter, who
seconded the amendment, as a humble representative of
the unrepresented sons of labour. Having no faith in
the new association, he advised the working classes to
form their own associations, and look after their own
interests. They talked of abolishing aristocratic monopoly
of place, and he Fad no doubt they desired it, forhe ima-
gined there were a lot of hungry Prime Ministers upon
the platform. (Cheers.) They talked of a crusade against
the Duke of Devonshire, and he was ready to join in
sue* crusade, but not in favour of the Dukes of Devil's
dust and Shoddy. (Cheers.) Then the council, in their
resolutions, denounced secret diplomacy, while their own
means and machinery were of a secret nature, and it
was quite evident that the resolutions were humbug.
(Cheers.) It has been said by a well-known newspaper
that the Chartist cry was dead ; but ho gave an answer
to this by asserting that no political movement could be
started for which the working-classes would exert them-
selves unless it was for the People's Charter. (Loud
cheers.)
A good deal of confusion followed, several individuals
expressing their desire to speak.
The Chairman, after protestirig against the interfer-
ence of the plans of the council, put the amendment,
which was carried by an overwhelming majority, and
three hearty cheers were given for the People's Charter.
The Chairman said the formation of the association
had been negatived by the meeting, but the council
would still persevere, and make another appeal to the
public.
The proceedings then terminated abruptly, a vote of
thanks to the chairman being carried, on the mution of
Mr. E. Jones.

THE CONVICT MUNROE.—Just before the bolt was
withdrawn, the chaplain, taking hold of Munroe's hand,
asked if he had anything more to add to his confaksien.
The prisoner replied that he had not : between God and
himself all that he had btated was true. He said he ac-
knowleJged the justice of his punishment, and that he
deserved to die. He then grasped the chaplain's hand
convulsively and wished him good bye. It may not be
worth mentioning, but it is a fact that Calcraft, who it
will be allowed has had experience in such matters, ex-
pressed his firm belief that the condemned man spoke
the truth in his confession. This is certainly the con-
viction of all who have come in contact with Munroe
since his condemnation. He is looked upon as having
been the victim of some baser villain. Whitehaven

THE RUSSIAN MEDAL.—On the bodies of numbers of
the Russian soldiers who recently fell before Enpatoria
were found the silver medal of the decoration of St.
George. On one side is engraven the Russian eagle
with two heads, holding in its talons the terrestrial
globe and the sceptre of the sovereign ; over the eagle
is the imperial crown of Russia, surrounded by the illu-
minated dove, and round these figures is the following
motto in the Russian language—" Fall on your knees,
idolate,..4, 1.41 God is with u:e." On in'aa side of Cue
medal is the following motto, also in Russian- -" For
the submission of Hungary and Transylvania," which
DlVlOcioutly indicates prigin.
