The Sun.
London, England, 1849-08-23 00:00:00

Then, where the mountains sink,
And where the valleys rise,
The boaeon lights of
Shall kindle to the skies!

—(Loud cheers.)

Mr. MADELEY, in rising to second the motion,
was received with cheers. He said that owing to
indisposition he should confine his observations to
one point, namely, the question of moral force, upon
which much had been said at these meetings ; but he
would ask any reasonable man, whether, in having to
deal with the savage hordes of Russia, the moral
force of this country would have any weight but for
the knowledge that it is backed by a gallant fleet and
a brave army ?—(Cheers.) Simply to " protest"
against the aggressions of hordes of barbarians would
he of slight avail, if Russia and Austria did not know
that there was that love of liberty in the English
nation which could not look on with indifference at
the outrages committed by despotic powers.—(Cheers.)
As an independent nation,—a nation enjoying the
greatest amount of national freedom of any country
in the world—we Englishmen should not only ex-
press onr sympathy with the gallant and oppressed
Hungarians, but also demonstrate to them that we
can if we wish, unsheath the sword in the cause of
liberty, and are prepared to defend the oppressed not
only with our purses but with our arms.—(Several
rounds of cheering.) By so acting, we should not
only secure the liberties of the Hungarians, but pro •
tect our own.—(Cheers.)
The memorial was carried by acclamation.
Mr. Alderman HENRY MOZLEY moved the next
resolution, and availed himself of the opportunity of
paying a compliment to several of the speakers who
had preceded him. After paying a deserved tribute
to the speech of the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, who had on
this occasion made his first appearance before a Derby
audience, but he trusted it would not be his last—
(Cheers)—the Hon. Gentleman, after passing a com-
pliment to Mr. Moss, congratulated the meeting on
having had the presence of their worthy and esteemed
Member, Mr. Bass, amongst them.—(Loud cheers.)
lie could assure them that Mr. Bass had made great
sacrifices to be present on the occasion ; but he con-
sidered it not only a duty to his constituents but to
his own feelings to participate in this expression of
feeling an a subject so dear to the heart of every
sincere lover of liberty.—(Cheers.) After some
facetious observations upon some of his friends, which
caused considerable merriment, the Hon. Gentleman
addressed himself for a few minutes to the question
before the meeting. It had been said thst these meet-
ings were a mere unavailing protest against an
aggressive power, but sure he was that no power,
however aggressive, could hear the voice of the people
of England thus expressed, without shrinking ; and in
his opinion this universal expression of the public
mind of this country would, in its effects, be little
short of armed interference.—(Cheers.) He begged
to move, that Mr. Bass be requested to present the
memorial to her Majesty, through her Majesty's Fo-
reign Secretary of State, at his earliest convenience.
Mr. PEGG said that Mr. Bass, by his presence there
that evening, and especially by his own most excel-
lent speech, had given them proof how cordially he
might lee expected to perform the trust.—(Cheers.)
The resolution was carried by acclamation.
Mr. BASS said that he should have great pleasure
in complying with the wishes of the meeting. They
must all feel that they had been discharging an im •
periive duty, and he had no doubt it would have its
fair influence upon the Government. He was de-
lighted with the meeting, which, for order, intelli-
gence, and enthusiasm, could not be surpassed in any
town of equal population ; and the opinion he had
entertained of his constituents was, if possible, en-
hanced by their conduct that evening.—(Cheers.)
Mr. H. MOZLEY, on behalf of Sig. Marioni, who
could not attend the meeting, expressed on his behalf
how deeply the Roman people would feel the expres-
sions of sympathy elicited in that evening's proceed-
ings.

Mr. Bass then moved, and Mr. Moss seconded, a
vote of thanks to the Mayor for the able manner in
which he had presided over their proceedings.
Carried by acclamation.
The MAYOR said—l feel most sensibly your kind-
ness ; but at the same time I must take leave to say
that I have only discharged a duty, and am amply
rewarded by the excellent speeches delivered.---(Loud
cheers.) He then stated that at a recent public
meeting in the borough of Marylebone, a subscrip-
tion was opened in aid of the great cause of Hun-
garian Independence, the proceeds of which, after
defraying the expenses of sending back to their
country the Hungarian Hussars lately staying at
Folkestone, will be placed at the disposal of the
Hungarian Government ; that Lord Dudley Coutts
Stuart and Mr. Richard Taylor are appointed to act
as trustees of this fund; and that Mr. Adams, the
Editor of the Reporter, or Mr. Pike, will receive con-
tributions at the office, and publish the list in the
Reporter, and transmit the money to the London
Committee, who would acknowledge the receipt in
The Sun newspaper.—(Cheers.)
Three hearty cheers were then given for Louis
Kossuth, three for Bem, three for Dembinski, three
for Georgey, three for Mr. Bass, and three for Lord
Palmerston. The meeting then separated.
