• ch ir, ripen the mover and supporters .of his notable ,amend-
meat, that their views had better be stated in the shape of a
41istitict and substantite resolution, fio as'to enable the meet-
ing to record their apparently unanimous ' opinion in favors
.ofthe'llestoration of Poland, and then record their opinion,
if they thought proper, on the particular policy of Lord Pal-
merston; but, no,•this would pot do—Poland must be, con-
tent to remain as she is until the dreaded Viscount could be
got rid of.:
8O then, according to this sagacious reasoning, we
are th cast into abeyance all efforts on behalf of Poland ;
we are to decline to act upon the dictates of the purest right
aridjiistied; es-Well as those of the soundest policy, all com-
bining to urge the employment of every effort for the re-esta-
blishment of the independence of that martyred_ nation, from
whose gallant people- and fertile plains Russia draws the
flower of her fot•cesAml the richest-of her supplies, to say
nothingof:‘other oppressed nationalities ;. we are to cease all
attempts to ditninish the horrors of the present contest by
weakening the hosts ,of the enemy,. until Lord Palmerston:
shall have been removed from power !

Surely, the utmostambition-of the Premier never soared
to this high pitch ! The Crown is nothing, the Parliament is
nothing, the people".nothiug, the nation nothing, so long as
Lord Palmerston is in office, He alone is all—Monarch,
Lords, Commons, People ! and everything is to stand still as
regards unhappy Poland, whilst myriads of lives more may
be sacrificed, and torrents of blood—as gallant blood as ever
flowed in the veins of the sons of England and France—may
be shed, uo Polish Legions shall be formed, the glorious flag
of Poland shall not be unfurled, not a finger shall be move
to relieve the bondage of her people, until Messrs. Dobson,
Collett, and George Thompson shall have succeeded in get-
ting rid of thelnglish Autocrat.
It.is for the inhabitants Of this great metropolis to decide
whether the course thus pursued on. Wednesday evening is a
just and fair representation of their views and opinions. As
regards the promoters of the /netting, and'ihe 'Cdttneihtf the
Association of the Friends Of Poland, of which the lamented.
-Lord Dudley Stuart was President, they have endeavOured to
do their duty to a country whose best interests they have ever
had at heart, and in whose service their lamented President
drew his la.st,breathr—with respect to the insinuations made
on Wedheiday night, and on other occasions, that the pro-
moters of the meeting acted in any -way in concert with; or
under the influence of, Government, they have already-given
to such insinuations a pesitive and contemptuous denial.

manner in which this ship berthed her troops on her
leaving Portsmouth with the East Kent Militia for
Malta, a few months since, and the care bestowed upon
their comforts. This led to the presentation of a hand-
some silver fish slice and fork to Capt. Gray, bearing the
fo:lowing inscription :
" From Col. Brockman, East Kent Reg., commanding
the troops, to Capt. John Gray, commander of the steam-
ship Great Britain. in remembrance of the kindness and
attention shown by him to the officers and men of
the East Kent Regiment, and the several detachments on
.board, during their passage from Portsmouth to Malta.—
