BETTING AT MANCdESTER—MoNDAY.
For the St. Leger, Queen Bertha is in almost as great
favour as ever, 11 to 2 being the highest offer against her
at the close. 10 to 1 was taken freely about Golden Pledge,
and Blue Mantle advanced to 10 to 1 (taken). Lord Clifclen
has still a downward tendency; 100 to 4 was laid against
him, and 20 to 1 freely cffered at the close. Early in the
day 2 to 1, and in some instances longer odds were laid that
he would run for the St. Leger, but later on 2 to lwas
laid that he did not see the starter. Closing prices :

POLISH INDEPENDENCE.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of Chelsea to
express their sympathy with the present struggle
for Polish independence, was held last evening at
the Vestry-hall, King's-road, Chelsea—Mr. Hall,
vestryman, in the chair. A deputation was in at-
tendance from the National League for the Inde-
pendence of Poland, consisting of Messrs. Beales,
Facey, Odger, Stainsby, and J. R. Taylor.
The CHAIRMAN having apologised for the absence
of the rector, the Rev, Mr. Blunt, who Was pre_
his hearty sympathy With the
vented by a pressing engagement from taking the
chair, and expressed
object of the meeting,
Mr. RABBrTTS, a vestryman, moved the following
resolution :
~ That the devoted and 1 feelf-sacrifi •
poles in all their previous struggles in defence either of
their own rights or of the liberties of other nations, as well
as in their present struggle for the recovery of the freedom
and independence of their country, entitles them to the cor-
dial affection and support of
every free people; whilst the
atrocious conduct of the
Russians in their past misrule and
and
oppression of Poland, in the war they are now so
savagely waging for its renewed subjugation, is a scandal to
and an
Christendom
Dr. insult to humanity.',
FARNESS seconded the resolution, which was
supported by Mr. E. BEALES, in a lengthened
speech, and carried by
acclamation.
Dr. T
.L,EVISON moved a resolution ' approving of the
objects of the newly-formed National League for
Polish independence, which was seconded by Mr. G.
ODGER, and carried unanimously.
Mr. FACEY moved the adoption of the following
address to the Polish people:—
"Poles I— We admire the devoted heroism displayed by
all ranks and both sexes in your afflicted country in your
present righteous and terrible struggle for national indepen-
dence. We abhor the brutal ferocity and sanguinary atro-
cities of your enemies and oppressors in the warfare they are
waging for your renewed subjugation. We earnestly pray
for, and :•liall heartily rejoice in, your success and triumph.
Your appeal to the peoples and Governments of Europe, as
brethren, to recognise your national and belligerent eighth
to sever all alliance with the Czar of Russia as King of Po-
land, and to declare that Russia has no right to rule over
you, claims our warmest sympathy and is entitled to our
best support. We thus cordially respond to that appeal in
the conviction—a conviction forced upon us by all the his-
tory of the past, as well as by the facts of the present age—
that the re- establishment of your country as a powerful and
independent nation, while it is the only atonement that can
satisfy justice and humanity for the crimes of its original
dismemberment and the subsequent cruelties to which it has
been subjected, is imperatively demanded by the soundest
policy as essential to the permanent peace and welfare of
Europe, and as a protection and safeguard against incessant
disorder and frightful convulsions, and all the lawless ex-
cesses and aggressive rapacity of armistic arbitrary Power'"
Mr. STAIN SBY seconded the address, which was
agreed to.

Mr. J. R. TAYLOR, the secretary of the league,
having Qaaressed the meeting, a vote of thanks to
the chairman concluded the proceedings.
