ANNIVERSARY OF THE POLISH
REVOLUTION.

A meeting in commemoration of the Polish Rovolution
of 1830 was held last night at the National-hall, Holborn.
The handbills announced that the chair was to be taken
at half-past 7 precisely by Mr. George Julian Harney,
but it was some minutes after eight before the parties
who had convened the meeting made their appearance,
and they were then saluted with a mingled volley of
cheers and hisses, the dissentients being the partisans of
Mr. Bronterre O'Brien, who mustered in considerable
force. The leaders of the movement having ascended
the platform,
Mr. WOOD mood moved that Mr. George Julian
Harney take the chair. (Cheers and great uproar.)
The motion having been seconded,
Mr. HEATH said as Mr. Harney had betrayed the
cause of democracy, he was a most unfit person to pre-
side. (Cheers and hisses.) He therefore proposed that
Mr. Ingram Lockhart take the chair. (Cheers, and
cries of " No, no.")
A most discreditable scene ensued, which lasted for
nearly half an hour, during which strenuous attempts
were made to dislodge the mover and seconder of the
amendment from the platform. Some of their adherents
in the body of the hall managed to scramble over the
railings, and interfered in their behalf, and the melee
then became pretty general, and did not subside until a
policeman made his appearance, and succeeded either in
aappea.sing or removing the O'Brienites, but the confu-
tl_,o! was so great that it was next to impossible to ascer-
lins the affray had really terminated.
take NGRAH LOCKHART then moved that M. Jourdan
the claair. (Cheers.)
The motion having been seconded, was agreed to, and

for their own independence, and against the arch-enemy
of European freedom, are entitled to the sympathy and
armed support of the European people. And this meet-
ing, believing that the Turco-Russian struggle is preg-
nant with hopeful opportunities for the enslaved ria-
tions, trusts that the oppressed of all lands will march
together at one and the same time to effect their com-
mon deliverance, and to overthrow their common op-
