Mr: FERGErsolki contended that at present the country
enjoyed only an instalm,nt of free trade, and antici-
pated the greatest advantages from the full development
of the system. The country having once tasted the
blessings of free trade, he believed that no Minister,
however powerful, would venture to reverse it; but it
behoved the people to take care that nothing was done
in a disguised form to give the rich compensation for the
loss of prott stink at the expense of the poor.—(Cheers )
The present Ministers could not be trusted to carry out
the free trade system. They were unwilling agent.,
and their inclinations were the other way. I'he soirii.
of free trade was not in them, and their ruling principle
was
.protection. H-4 concluded by declaring his steady
adherence to the gr.4at principles of reform which he
had ever advocated, and retired amid great cheering.
Dr. L ,N3DALE thinight that, as Sir J. Graham was
sure to hold the highest place in the next Administra
(ton, it was desirable to ascertain his opinion on certain
points to which he had not alluded in his arldre,s to the
meeting. For this purpose he had d awn up certain
questions to which he required answers from the Right
in. Baronet.

Sir J. GRAHAM said that Dr. Lonsdale had put into
his hand four questions, to welch he would reply
seriatim. The first qiinsfinn. was—" Would you in sty
future case, like that of Hungary, where the liberties r f
one State were interfered b> another and deapwic S ate
(Ream), do your best to put an end to that interference
and to resist it as a violation of right? " It was impos-
sible for any lover of freedom not to participate in the
aspirations after freedom in all foreign countries, and h.,
knew.no limit to
:practically.aiding. foreign countries in
their endeavours to liberate themselves from the yoke of
tyranny, except the paramount obligation of not lovely-
tug this country...in a war on..eccouet of interference iu
affairs not our own. The second question was—" Would
you, in the case of a people, now despotically governed,
throwing off the yoke by their own energies, and setting
up a new Government by a revolution of their own
making, urge the immediate and full recognition of that
Government by ours?" To this question he could give a
practical answer The great motto of Lord Grey's Go
vernment, in addition to reform and retrenchment, was
non-interference in the affairs of foreign countries. Act-
ing in accordance with this motto, L rd Grey's Go-
veroment, following the example of their predecessors,
recognized the Government of Louis Philippe, whom a
revolution hid raised to the throne of France. Again,
another revolution separated Belgium from Holland, and
raised it into an independent kingdom, and in that case
also L it'd Grey's Government recognized the newly-
created authority. Thirdly, when Louis Philippe wts
expelled from France by another revolution, and a Re-
public established in that country, the British Govern-
ment acknowledged the new order of things—a course
of which he entirely approved. The third question was
—".Would you oppose any measures—an extradition
Bill, recourse to letter opening, or the like—which
could have for its object the restriction of the rights of
refugees to find an asylum in England, safe from all
PaPionage on the part of our Government?" He would
make England a secure asylum to all foreigners seeking
an asylum from the oppression of other Governments in
any part of the world; but, in return, he would re-
quire that these. foreigners' ebould not abuse our hos-
pitality by conduct which would endanger the peace
of Europe. As to extradition he approved of the
agreement into which' we had entered wiA Franco
and'. America fur the mutual surrender of three
classes
of criminals--natuely, murderers, forgerers,
