OUTRAGE ON THE QUEEN OF
ENGLAND.

GREAT DEMONSTRATION IN ST. HELIER,
ISLAND OF JERSEY.

SATURDAY NIGHT, OCT. 13.

The greatest excitement has prevailed through-
out this island since the publication of the infamous
libel on her Majesty, which appeared in a French
paper called L'Homme. To-night one of the largest,
most enthusiastic, and unanimous meetings that
has ever been known, took place at the Queen's
Assembly Rooms, Belmont-road ; upwards of 2,000
of the most influential and respectable British re-
sidents and native inhabitants were present.--N.
Le Quesne, Esq., Constable of St. Helier, in the
chair.

The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted : _

1. That, in the opinion of this meeting, it is right
that this country should at all times afford a safe asylum
to political and religious exiles, whatever may be their
country, their convictions, or their creed. But that, in
return for the home and protection they meet with in
the British empire, it is the duty of all refugees to sub-
mit to its laws • and that to do otherwise is an abuse of
a most ungrateful character, and a gross violation of
hospitality. _

2. That this meeting learns with regret that, during
upwards of a year, some political refugees have heb-
domadally published in this island a journal called
L'Hoinme, which has for its objects the suppression of
Christianity, the propagation of Socialism, and the de-
struction of all thrones, including that of the gracious
Sovereign whose loyal and devoted subjects it is our
pride and privilege to be.
3. That this meeting protests, in the most emphatic
and solemn manner, against the doctrines advocated by
the Socialist journal before named ; which paper not
only openly preached infidelity, calls for the overthrow
of all constituted authority, and shamefully assails the
great and cordial ally whose efforts in cementing the
union of England and France entitled him to the re-
speet and attachment of the people of this country,
but extols political murderers, inculcates regicide,
andi,basely arid wantonly insults the Queen of this realm.
This meeting considers the publication of a paper of the
'above nature as a most disgraceful outrage on the moral
laws of hospitality, and on the feelings of the inhabitants
of this Christian and loyal island. The meeting consi
ders its publication here as a misfortune for the island, and
earnestly' trusts that immediate measures will be
adopted to suppress it.
4. That a copy of the above resolutions be commu-
nicated to his Excellency the LieutenaLt-Governor by
the following deputation :--The Constable of St. Helier,
P. Hemery, Esq., and Dr. Jos. Dickson.
SUNDAY MORNING.
In consequence of the excited state of the people,
the Governor has consented to receive the deputation
this day (Sunday)— a mcst unusual thing.
