M. KOSSUTH AT SIIE:J7FIELD.

After the great assemblage at Sheffield, in Paradise-
square, on Monday afternoon, there was a second meet-
ing the same evening in the Music-ball, in furtherance
of the same object as the previous one—" to consider
the desirability of re-constituting 'Poland as an inde-
pendent nation." The audience on this occasion was by
no means large, and there were Ivadly as many hun-
dreds present as there had been tlaousauds at the ear-
lier meeting—a fact which may be easily accounted for,
inasmuch as the admission was by ticket, for which
various charges, according to foe class, were made.
Mr. Alderman Say took the chair. The chairman
having opened the proceedings, Mr. Alderman Mycock,
Mr. Scholfield, Mr. Beale, and other sympathisers with
the fallen nationalities of Pol and and Hungary, ad-
dressed the meeting and proposed several resolutions,
which were unanimously carried, asserting the war
against Russia was a just war, inasmuch as the latter
power had shown its aggressive character in the rob-
bery of Finland from Sweed.en, the mutilation of Tur-
key, the oppression of Hungary, and the destruction of
Poland. Another resolution condemned tho policy of
the Western Powers in seeking the alliance of Austria
in the war, inasmuch as Austria was too intimately
mixed up with the evil doings of Russia in Hungary
and Poland. M. Kossuth also addressed the meeting
at some length. His arguments were of the same ten-
dency as his previous speech, which was reported
in The Sun of yesterday. He earnestly urged
upon the English and French Governments the
advisability of enlisting the Poles and the Hungarians
in tl;eir cause. He strongly denounced the alliance
witli.kustria, and argued that the only effectual guaran-
tee which the Western Powers could give of their desire
to curb the encroaching and aggressive spirit of Russia
was the restoration of the extinct nationalities of Poland
and Hungary. The meeting was then concluded, and
three sympathising cheers given for M. Kossuth.

TIM LUST OP POWEIL—It must be manifest to every
intelligent reader that the possessions of Russia on the
north-west coast of the continent are held at this time
subject at any day to seizure and annexation by Great
Britain. The addition of those islands and seacoast

its ultimate acquisition by the United States impos-
sible, except from the chance of external war or internal
revolution. But the Russian possessions in question
may undoubtedly be purchased by our Government at
this crisis for less than cost price, and their acquisition
would so far hem in the possessions of the Hudson's Bay
Company as t o make their purchase at a reasonable KIM
a natural consequence. It may, therefore, be worth
while to admonish our Government that the position of
this republic as the first commercial nation of the world
—that our territories on the Pacific, and our prospec-
tive trade, across that ocean, with the nations and
islands of Asia—suggest the policy of strengthening and
extending our commercial facilities, wherever the oppor-
tunity is offered, without disturbing our peaceful rela-
tions with other Powers, and especially wherever an
advantageous bargain of annexation may be made. In
this broad and general view, when Honduras, through
her Minister to Washington, shall lay before our Go-
vernment an offer comprehending the incorporation of
that State into our Union, quietly and peacefully, and
without the extortion of a Gadsden treaty, we should
close in with the offer, for our constitution and our in-
stitutions, our enterprise, and our " manifest destiny,"
are sufficiently cohesive and elastic to cover the conti-
nent and its contiguous islands of all sizes, and in all
latitudes. Hence, also, if the Russian territories in
purchased for a mere trifle at this time,
