RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

THE METROPOLITAN DEMONSTRATION IN

FAVOUR OF TURKEY.

Last night, the committee appointed to conduct the
arrangements for the great meeting to be held this night
at the London Tavern, for the purpose of eliciting from
the metropolitan public an expression of opinion upon
the relative position of Turkey and Russia at the pre-
sent time, and the course which, under the circum-
stances, ought to be taken by this country, met at An-
derton's Hotel, Fleet-street, and were assisted in their
deliberations by gentlemen who attended from different
districts of London. Professor Newman occupied the
chair.

Letters were read from Sir James Duke (expressing
his hearty concurrence), Sir J. Shelley, Sir B. Hull, Sir
C. Napier (who will be present), and other gentlemen,
including the following from the Marquis of Clann-
carde

" Carlton-terrace,
"Sir,—l had the honour, on my
return from the Conti-
nent last night, to receive your letter of the 3d, inviting
me to attend a public meeting to be held to-morrow in
support of the independence of Turkey.
" I fear that pressing eno.6agetnehts out of town will
render it impossible for me to be present at the meeting.
I do not know the precise object for which it is called at
the present moment, but I rejoice to learn that there is
in London a due sense of the necessity of maintaining
the character and influence of this country by an honour-
able adherence to even only implied engagements, by
upholding the national independence and rights of our
less powerful allies, and by a firm, although temperate,
resistance of an unjustifiable aggression, calculated to
overthrow the balance of power in Europe, to stop the
extension of commerce, and to create additional difficul-
ties in the advancement of civilisation.
"I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient, humble servant,
"G. Wilson, Esq., Secretaiy." " CLANRICARDZ.

The CHAIRMAN, upon behalf of the sub-committee ap-
pointed to draw up the resolutions to be submitted to the
public meeting, reported that they had experienced some
difficulty in framing a series so as properly to express
their views, and preserve due consideration of the va-
rious interests involved in the question. They had
taken into consideration mainly two points. In the
first place, they debated upon the propriety of calling
upon the Government to suspend the Foreign Enlistment
Act, so as to allow British subjects to offer their services
to Turkey. Upon full consideration, however, it was de
tided that the resolutions should not 'comprehend this
object, inasmuch as that the Government might resolve
to render material aid to Turkey, in which case the
Foreign Enlistment Act would be suspended as a mat-
ter of course. (Hear.) The next point of prominent
interest was involved in the discussion of the question,
whether or not it would be expedient to submit to the
public meeting a resolution expressive of want of confi-
dence in the present Administration. After a long dis-
cussion it was decided that it would be better not to do
so, as it was felt to be impossible to select at the present
time any Ministry in whose hands the freedom of Europe
would be entirely safe, because of dynastic interests ; and
it would be useless to call for the removal of one set of
men without being able to name their successors. He
(the Chairman) had received two resolutions from M.
Kossuth, founded upon these two points, but they were
very long, partaking more of the character of a state
paper than of that of simple resolutions to be submitted
to a public meeting. He (the Chairman), therefore, was
of opinion that the resolutions of M. Kossuth were not
suitable, and that the series proposed by the sub-com-
mittee should be adopted.
The series of resolutions recommended by the sub-
committee were then submitted, and, after a long discus-
sion, adopted as follows :

" 1. That the series of Russian aggressions convinces
this meeting That there is in the Russian Cabinet a fixed
purpose, not only to subdue Turkey, but to domineer
over all Europe, and extirpate all freedom. We look
upon this as the true reason why no diplomatic settle-
ment of the Turco-Russian quarrel was possible, and we
lament that the British Government has wasted most
valuable time, damaged the just cause of the Turks, in-
flicted upon commerce months of needless depression,
and, worst of all, has inspired universal suspicion of the
good faith of England, in a vain effort to negotiate with
unscrupulous and violent power, which acted while we
talked, and which, if now momentarily appeased, would
only become more dangerous on some early occasion.
"That this meeting applauds the glorious patriotic
spirit of the Turkish people at the present crisis, and
would deplore any attempt on the part of the British
Government to suppress that spirit, as an act of unpa-
ralleled infamy ; especially considering the many solemn
ways in which England has bound herself to maintain
Turkish independence.
" 3. That not only the interest but the duty and ho-
nour of England call upon her Government to discard
all secret and dynastic diplomacy, and to render prompt,
decisive, and effective aid to Turkey.
"4. That this meeting is of opinion that Austria, by
reason of her previous course of policy, and of her re-
cent perfidious behaviour towards Turkey, ought to be
all
regarded as an enemy by us, and not cherished as an
y ._

1‘ 5. That an address embodying the foregoing resolu-
tions, be entrusted to a deputation to be presented to
her Majesty.

"6. That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be trans.
witted to the Turkish Ambassador."

Lord Dudley Stuart, it is understood, will take the
chair.

STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES.
On Monday evening last, a public meeting was held
in the Town Hall, Hanley, for the purpose of consider-
ing the conduct of the English Government in reference
to the affairs of Turkey, and the adoption of a memorial
to her Majesty on the subject ; the Chief Bailiff occu-
pied the chair.
Mr. R. STEVENSON said a series of resolutions had
been put into his hands, which he would read to the
meeting, and move their adoption; they were as follows :
—"That the actual events in the East have proved that
the present Ministry are incompetent to manage the in-
tercourse of nations with due regard to the interests
and honour of England, and the acknowledged rights of
her allies. That by means of such incompetency the
physical power of Great Britain ceases to exist for the
maintenance of our interests and the protection of our
honour, and that, on the contrary, it comes to be
used for ends injurious and fatal to the one and
the other. That such a state of things is not endurable
and must be altered ; that while it endures, freedom is
an empty word—government a mockery—and peace
or war alike dangerous. That these townships shall
employ every means within their power to induce their
representatives to put an end to permanent embassies,
to secrecy in diplomatic business, and to compel a re-
turn to the legal practice of the constitution, so as to
prevent intercourse between the servant of the Crown
and the representatives of a foreign state, save under
the warrant of the Great Seal, issued for that special
purpose. That we will use our best endeavours to in-
duce other constituencies of the kingdom to act in like
manner. That the best thanks of this meeting be given
to the Sultan of Turkey for the noble stand he has made
against the llussian invader, and the firmness displayed
by him on all occasions, notwithstanding the deceptive
policy of-pretended friends.
Mr. MOREVON seconded the resolutions, which, after
a lengthened address from Mr. D. Urquhart, were car-
ried. A memorial to her Majesty, in the same strain
as the resolutions, was also adopted, and the proceedings
terminated.
