ANNIVERS ARY OF TIII; POLISH

REVOLUTION.

(
A meeting in commemoration of the Polish Revolution
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 ivolley 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. Georgie 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.")
Mr. FINLAN seconded the amendment. In his opi-
nion Mr. Harney was a most unworthy representative
of English democracy, and ought not to be allowed to
come forward as the representative of foreign democracy.
(Cheers and immense uproar.)
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 niaee
then became pretty general, and did not subside until a
policeman made his appearance, and succeeded either in
appeasing or removing the O'Brienites, but the confu-
sion was so great that it was next to impossible to ascer-
tain how the affray had really terminated.
Mr. INGRAM LOCKHART then moved that M. Jourdan
take the chair. (Cheers.)
The motion having been seconded, was agreed to, and
some degree of order having been restored, the meeting
was addressed by several parties in the Polish, French,
and German languages, and the following resolutions
were passed :

"That the partition of Poland was an outrage of the
blackest dye, both as regards that country and the entire
family of nations ; that tyranny ever justifies insurrec-
tion, and therefore the revolution of the 29th of Novem-
ber, 1830, though unfortunate, reflected glory upon the
Poles, and commanded the sympathy of all people.
" That the failure of the revolution of 1830-1 having
been caused partly by a blind dependence on foreign
Cabinets, but principally by the selfish conduct of the
Polish aristocracy, who preferred their own unjust
privileges to the common welfare, Poland, in her next
revolution, must summon all her sons to arms in the name
of the republic, and look for her regeneration through
the triumph of democratic equality and social justice,
principles implanted in the national character, and
in which were founded the ancient Slavonic com-
munities which up to this hour Russian despotism and
Austrian bureaucracy have failed wholly to destroy.
" That the Turks, having manifested a generous hos-
pitality to the defenders of Hungarian and Polish na-
tionality, having always repudiated the partition of
Poland, and now being engaged in a defensive struggle
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 na-
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-
pressor."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Attendance scanty, and business very slack. Auto-
crat and King Tom, the two leading favourites for the
Derby, were a little unsteady. 6 to 1 was laid to 1001.
agst the former, and repeatedly offered afterwards. 10
to 1 was taken to 501. about King Tom, but 11 to 1
was obtainable at the close. Dervish was backed for
1501. at the odds quoted, and Meteora and Old Noll
showed some improvement. Further comment is un-
necessary.

THE REV. DR. D'AUBIGNE, OF GENEVA.---OPENING
OF THE PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE.— We are happy to
find that this distinguished divine and historian of
the Reformation is now in Dublin, on his way
to Belfast, for the purpose of delivering) the inaugural
address at the opening of the Presbyterian College.
The precise date of the opening is not yet fixed, but
will be settled in the course of to-day. The College
Committee, we understand, had agreed that Dr.
D'Aubigne might postpone his visit till the close
of the Session in April ; but from the impression
that it would be more conducive to the interests of the
college, he was resolved to comply with their original
request.—Northern Whig.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—The
death of the Earl of Dartmouth causes a vacancy in the
representation of South Staffordshire, consequent on the
elevation of Lord Lewisham to the peerage. For the
last twelve years the two political parties have been
content to divide the county, but the Liberals have
been during the whole time, gaining strength, and little
doubt now exists of the ability of this party to return
both members. It is understood that a second Liberal
candidate will be brought forward if the Conserva-
tives put up one of their party, which in all pro-
bility, they will do. In fact, Earl Talbot's eldest son,
Lord Ingestrie, has been already spoken of, but his
lordship's name has not been favourably received, al-
though some gentlemen hare partially canvassed for
votes on his behalf. In the Liberal interest the names
of three gentlemen have been very freely mentioned—
these are Mr. William Matthews, of the Corbyn's Hall
Ironworks, who would, in all probability, receive the
support of most of the great ironmasters, who have,
it is understood, long been anxious one of their number
in this district should have a seat in the House of
Commons ; the others are Lord Paget, grandson of
the venerable Marquis of Anglesea, and the Honourable
Arthur Wrottesley, eldest son of Lord Wrottesley. This
young gentleman has hereditary claims on the constitu-
ency, his father having faithfully represented the liberal
interest in the House of Commons for several years, till
defeated in the last contest which took place in the
division by the present Earl Talbot.
EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTION.—There are new
two candidates in the field. On Saturday a meeting
was held at the Bell Hotel, Gloucester, where a requisi-
tion was presented to Sir Michael Hicks Beach, of Wil-
liamstrip Park, Bart., inviting him to come forward in
the Conservative interest. This Sir Michael consented
to do, stipulating, however, that his liability for the
necessary expenses should not exceed 1,0001., which he
was prepared to put down. Subscriptions to the amount
of about 2,000/. were raised, being about the same amount
as that subscribed on the liberal side, in support of Mr.
E. Holland, of Dumbleton, who has accepted the requi-
sition of the liberal eke+ ors to come forward in that in-
terest. Mr. Holland, in his address to the electors,
issued yesterday, writes :—" Having lived to see the suc-
cessful issue of that policy which I have consistently
advocated through life, I now seek to be placed in a
position in which I may more effectually assist in carry-
ing out those great principles which I believe to be
essential to the happiness of my fellow-countrymen."
Convassing has already been commenced.

FATAL ExPLosioN.:—The demolition of the old bridge
over the Veveyse, at-Vevey, in Switzerland, was pro-
ceeded to a few days ago. Mines were dug and gun-
powder was employed. Some mistake occurred, and an
explosion took place before it was expected ; a number
of persons were injured and buried in the ruins. Eight
were immediately got out—two of them were dead,
A MINISTER 106 YEARS OLD.—The Rev. G. Fletcher,
who has just completed his 106th year, preached a ser-
mon on Sunday at a chapel in Bunhill-row, St. Luke's.
Although of such an advanced age, his faculties are said
to be very good.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—DARE DAYS AND LONG
NIGHTS.—The necessity of having the most perfect eye-
sight and hearing.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians
and oculists, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe—
opposite the York Hotel. Newly-invented preserving
Si)ectacle Lenses. Immediately they are placed before
extremely imperfect vision, every object appears clear and
distinct ; the most aged, defective sight becames bright
and brilliant, is brought to its youthful, natural, and ori-
ginal state.—RoyalExhibitions, 1851. -A valuable, newly-
invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and known one mile and a half distant ; they
answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera-
houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3 A inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can he seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind f, r the waistcoat-pocket.
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles
distant. Deafness—New Discovery—The Organic Vi-
brator, an extraordinary powerful and newly-invented
instrument, for Deafness, entirely different from all
others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been,
or probably ever can be, produced. .
Being of the
same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and
noisesat public as-
semblies' • the unpleasant sensation of singing .
the ears is entirely removed ; end it affords all the assist* ,
ance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarls-street, 1
Piccadilly. Observe, opposite the York Hotel.
