remarkable particular, the local government of Hungary
is conducted by the people, whilst in Austria the whole
machinery of Government is conducted by boards of
commissioners, who are responsible only to the Govern-
ment, and not responsible to the people (Hear, hear.)
So that, while in Hungary the people are educated to
government in their county meetings, and in other
meetings by which local government is carried
on, in Austria, there is no such education,
and all energy is crushed by the host
of officials who are employed by the Government.
(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I will only detain you while
I mention what appears to me to be a little error fallen
into by a speaker who preceded me, and who said that
at the beginning the Austrian Government meant well.
beg to refer you to a work which is of standard autho- '
rity on all questions relating to Hungary—to Mr.
Perkins's " Travels in Hungary and Transylvania."
That work was published ten years ago, and there that
author very distinctly states that all those great ques-
tions of reform, extension of the suffrage,
equalization of taxation, perfect religious tolera-
tion, all those measures • carried under the
government of Kossuth in 1847 and 1848, were
then contended for by the liberal party in Hun•
gary, but were uniformly opposed by every possible
means and intrigue by the Austrian Government.—
(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I will not detain you further,
except by moving this resolution, and assuring you how
heartily I wish, as I am sure you wish, that the noble
exertions of these patriotic men may be crowned with
anecess.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. PowELL seconded the resolution, and it was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. P. BENNETT moved that this meeting views with
lively satisfaction the determination of the Ottoman
Government not to allow the Russian troops a passage
through the Turkish territory.
Mr. PHII.PIPS seconded the resolution, and in doing so,
he took occasion to denounce the Times as an enemy to
freedom, a curse to the country, and a scourge upon the
poor man, whom it was always vilifying. It was a dis-
grace to a nation boasting, as it did, of being the freest,
the most enlightened, and the most liberal in the world;
and if he were not out of order, he would move a vote of
censure upon the editors and proprietors.—(Cheers.)
The Cuentatale intimated that something of that na-
ture could be moved presently.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. \VILsoN then moved " That the thanks of this
meeting are justly due, and are hereby given, to the
Liberal press who have so generously and nobly advo-
cated the cause of Hungarian independence. And this
meeting utterly repudiates the and-national doctrines
promulgated in the Times newspaper against the Hun-
garian nation, believing them to be contrary to the
feelings of a large majority of the British people." No-
thing could be more detestable or more derogatory to
the interests of the press than the conduct of the Times
towards Hungary.—(Cheers.) But while he said thus
much, it was his duty, as it was his delight, to point out
a paper which had really stood forward in defence of the
rights of man and the cause of Hungary.—
(Hear, hear.) The Sun bad acted a glorious
part in this struggle.—(Cheers.) It had not only writ-
ten in a graphic spirit on behalf of the Hungarians, but
it had lent its aid to get up a most excellent and muni-
ficent subscription on behalt of some Hungarian refugees,
who had sought shelter in this counry.—(Cheers.)
That subscription had been of great use to those brave
and gallant men ; and no friend of liberty, no man who
valued political freedom, or religious toleration, ought
ever to forget this splendid and generous advocacy of
The Sun.—(Cheers.)
Mr. MANNING was delighted in having allotted to
him the task of seconding this resolution, but, with the
permission of the meeting, coinciding, as he did, in
every word they had just heard, he would beg to extend
the same weed of praise to the Weekly Dispatch and
the Standard of Freedom —(Cheers.)
The resolution was then put and carried by acclama-
tion, three enthusiastic cheers being afterwards given
for The Sun.
Mr. Wu.so& then produced a copy of the Times,
which he proposed should be burnt, a proposal which
met with some slight objection, and a remonstrance
from Colonel Reid that it was folly to follow an example
which history taught them had sacrificed the innocent
and not the guilty. The great mass of the meeting,
however. insisted upon Mr. Wilson's suggestion being
adopted, and the paper was set on fire amidst three
dismal groans, the Chairman observing, as the flame
blazed up and illuminated the room, that the paper
burning contained the very articles which misrepre-
sented the proceedings at the Marylebone meeting.
A memorial to the Crown, praying her Majesty to in-
struct her Foreign Secretary to recognise the indepen-
dence of Hungary, and an address to Kossuth, were
then adopted, after which a unanimous vote of thanks
was passed to the Chairm in, and the meeting, which
was most numerously attended up to the clase, broke up.
