beauty. The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable
Object is

ROWL ANDS' K ALYDOR,
Bo deservedly established In Royal and Public favour and estimation.
Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces
that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which
its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan,
Syots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the
KALTDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa-
rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise
will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of
Sunburn, or Stings of Insects, its virtues have long been acknow-
ledged. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s 6d. per Bottle.

SYMPATHY WITH HUNGARY.—Meetings to express
sympathy with the struggling Hungarians have been
held in several of the principal towns of England. We
are glad to see a movement on foot, the effect of
which is to give Liverpool an opportunity of uniting
with the citizens of the metropolis and other
places in this expression of public feeling. A
requisition, addressed to the mayor, has been placed
on the table of the Exchange News-room, of which
the following is a copy:—" We, the undersigned, do
hereby request you to call a public meeting of the in-
habitants of the borough, to consider the propriety of ex-
pressing sympathy with the Hungarians in their struggle
for independence, and especially to protest against the
invasion of Hungary by Russia?' The requisition has
received a very large number of signatures, including
the names of some of the most respectable and influen-
tial gentlemen in tho town, of all parties.—Liverpool

STATE Of GRAVEYARDS IN CLERICENWELL.—III
no place is a reform more necessary than in the district
of Clerkenwell, where graveyards are completely
hemmed in and closely abutted on on all sides by dwell-
ing-houses and workshops, in many cases deriving light
and ventilation solely from these pestilential places.
The over-crowded state of one of them has been made
the subject of a Government commission (I allude to
Spa-fields); the others (four) are scarcely in a better
condition; an examination of them is imperatively ne-
cessarily. My

rows, are to be seen coffins seven or eight deep; the
graveyard is literally crammed. Strange to say, inter-
ments still go on. Extensive workshops are being
erected on the adjoining properties. The attention of
Government is no st being directed to this subject, and
the nuisance must be summarily dealt with. Any fur-
ther interments should be interdicted, the vaults sealed,
and two feet of concrete placed over the graveyards.—

THE HUNGARIAN STRUGGLE.
MEETING AT STAFFORD.
(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
A numerous meeting of the burgesses of Stafford was
held in the County Hall in that town lest night, to ex-
press their sympathy with the Hungarian nation in their
present struggle against the Russians. The chair was
taken by the Mayor, James Tumock, E.q., at seven
o'clock. In opening the proceedings,
The MAYOR alluded to the particulars of the present
struggle, pointing out the reasons why that nation had
a right to the sympathies of this country; and expressed
his pleasure in acceding to the requisition which had
been presented to him to hold this meeting.
The Rev. Mr. SPEERS came forward to move the first
resolution. The reason why this meeting, and such
meetings as these, he said, had been held, was not a de-
sire to meddle with the affairs of foreign nations, or to
interfere in continental wars, but the desire of England
was to see Europe in peace, and it was with reference to
this end that these expressions of public opinion, that
mighty engine which had been always so efficacious in
all great questions throughout the world, had been called
forth. The whole of the struggle on which they were
now called upon to express their opinion gave a flat de-
nial to the statements which had been circu-
lated so extensively and maliciously, that Hungary was
properly a province of Austria. Hungary had
always been independent, and thank God, always would
be independent of Austria, though for many centuries
that empire had done all it could to extinguish the liber-
ties and freedom of the Hungarian nation.—(Hear, hear.)
This country was deeply interested in this struggle, for
if we refused to sympathise and to aid these brave men
is their efforts, what right had we to expect that we
should always be able to preserve our liberties untouched
against the attacks of despotism. He did not wish that
England should draw the sword in this struggle, she was
suffering. too deeply at present from her inter-
ference in foreign wars, but what he desired was
that England should take advantage of her
moral right among the nations—a power for which
we must remember that Englishmen would one day have
to be responsible—to effect that amelioration in the affairs
of the world which it was her proper duty to do. He
thought that if the chivalrous spirit of the Hungarian
nation were grafted upon the stock of European society
great benefit would accrue to Europe from that inter-
mixture. He was not such a lover of peace, although
he detested war as much as any one, as to say that war
was the greatest evil. No; he thought that the crushing
of such a nation as the Hungarian, whose history was
full of so many stirring reminiscences, and so many
noble deeds, was a much greater evil than any war.
The Rev. Gentleman concluded by moving the following
resolution:— _

---____
" That this meeting views with the deepest respect
and sympathy the present struggles of the Hungarian
nation for the right of self-government, which they had
for many centuries wisely exercised ; and further
pledges itself by every legitimate and proper means to
testify such sympathy, and to support the cause of the
Hungarian people.
The Rev. Mr. HILL seconded the resolution. He was
delighted to see all parties and all sects uniting, not only
at this meeting, but also all through the kingdom, to ex-
press their sympathy with struggling liberty. This was a
debt which not only England, but also all Europe, owed
to Hungary. In past ages, when the Turks had assaulted
the liberties and religion of Christian Europe, the tide
of invasion had been rolled back by brave Hungary; and
what cause of complaint would she have against this
country if, in this great struggle, the aid of that people,
whose boast it had always been that theirs was the land
of freedom, was denied to them? He hoped that such
would not be the case, and if he might judge from the
present assembly, there was not much fear that any
such blot would rest upon the escutcheon of England.
Mr. METEYARD, who was greeted on his appearance
by repeated cheering, came forward to move the next re-
solution. He thought that he could not better introduce
himself to the meeting than by reading to them the
prayer of Kossuth over the dead bodies of the Hungarians
slain fighting for their country's freedom, which was re-
ceived by the meeting with repeated and enthusiastic
cheering. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to de-
scribe to the. meeting the details of this struggle up to
the present moment. In reading the accounts of these
events, ought not the heart of every Englishman
to revert back to the times when similar struggles
were being carried on in England—to the times
of Pym, Hampden, and Cromwell, to the events by
which our present liberties of thought, of action, and of
speech, were secured? and ought not every Englishman
to sympathise with the efforts of a brave nation, who
strove to emulate us in the blessings of freedom And
he was proud to say that sympathy had not been want-
ing throughout the length and breadth of this country.
Edinburgh had met, Birmingham had met, all the great
educated towns of the kingdom bad met, and it was not
too late for the burgesses of Stafford to show that they
were not behind the rest of their fellow-countrymen in
the cause of freedom and liberty. Sympathy was the
duty of every nation, and nobly, he was glad to say, had
this country spoken out in the cause; but, alas! she
had been outstripped by her daughter, America.
in this question. This very day had he learned, and
a proud man he was to be able to announce such a fact
to such a meeting, that America had recognized the
independence of Hungary.—(Great cheering.) Would
to God that England had been the first to lead the
way in such a noble course; would to God that she had
not to follow any nation ! But still her course lay
open, and he heartily prayed that she would not hesi-
tate in proceeding on it. He would scarcely dare to call
the attention of the meeting to the great commercial ad-
vantages which a recognition of the independence of
Hungary would offer to this country. One of Kossuth's
first steps had been to throw off all commercial restric-
tions; there would no longer be an Austrian tariff nor
despotic custom-house; but Hungary, with its admiration
for the English character, might be converted into a va-
luable ally to this country. The Hon. Gentleman con-
cluded by moving the following resolution:—
" That this meeting solemnly protests against the in-
terference of Russia, and the slaughter by her armies
of the Hungarian people, who bad in no ways given
any cause for war; and further to express their abhor-
rence of the infamous cruelties and crimes committed by
the Austrian Generals and troops upon a brave people,
who have resorted to arms only as a last resourse to
maintain the indefeasible right of all men—self-govern-
ment. And, also, that this meeting expresses its admi-
ration of the great generals and statesmen, who have so
nobly directed the Hungarian cause,—Kossuth, Georgey,
Beni, Dembinski, Aulich, and others ; and fervently
desires that a continuation of the same resolute wisdom
and undismayed courage, which have hitherto distin-
guished their efforts, by the Divine assistance may be
brought to a successful issue."
Mr. COOPER rose to move—
" That a petition be prepared, to be signed by the
chairman of this meeting, humbly to petition her Most
Gracious Majesty, through the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, to acknowledge the independence of
Hungary, and to take such measures as in her wisdom
she may think most fit to maintain the rights of the
Hungarians as a free people."

He begged to congratulate Stafford on this expression of
opinion upon such a mighty struggle, which was so
nearly connected with the question of our own liberties
and freedom. It was, then, the interest as well as the
duty of Englishmen to stand forward mightily at this
juncture, to arrest not only the liberties of Hungary but
of all Europe, to drive back the northern despot to his
own limits, and to render the freedom of the world se-
cure from his attacks. With the independence of Hun-
gary the independence of all Europe would fall—
from Hungary to Constantinople, from Constanti-
to Persia, and from Persia to Hindostan, were but short
steps. England should not be backward to seize this
opportunity of restraining the power of Russia, as well
as of forwarding the cause of freedom, and it was with
these views, and with his whole heart and soul, he cried
" God save Hungary."
Mr. PEPLOW felt himself honoured to be called upon
to second this resolution, which he thought was the most
important of the evening. He
.congratulated England
upon her present position, dignified and tranquil,
and he thought that it vviss in her power to in-
terfere with mighty effect in this question. But it was
necessary to consider what must be the consequences of
English interference. Suppose that Queen Victoria
should acknowledge the independence of Hungary, and
that after that Russia should persist in her tyrannical
intervention in this family-question, what must we do
then ?—(A voice from the crowd, " Fight," and cheers.)
Certainly, we must be prepared to follow up our recog-

he thought slavery a greater evil than war; to oppress
the souls of men was worse than wounding their bodies,
though
and with these views he, for one, would never hesitate to
say "Fight manfully in such a cause. '
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolutions, which were
carried unanimously amidst loud cheering.
After a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his conduct in
the chair, the meeting separated, with three cheers for
the Hungarians, and three groans for Russia, heartily
given.

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.--Mr. Duncan has
been re-appointed solicitor to this company, by the una-
aigtoss Tote of the board of directors.

The following admirable speech was recently de-
livered at a meeting held at the Town-hall, Man-
chester, John Potter, Esq., Mayor, presiding :
The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN, who on rising was warmly
received, said—" I am happy in being permitted to
take a part in the proceedings of this meeting. It
is not often that I can feel at liberty, as a minister of
religion, to connect myself very prominently with
these public expressions of opinion upon national or
international questions; but I understand that our
object is peace and not war—(Hear, hear)—and I
have vows upon me, which require that, as far as in
me lies, I should be a man of peace. But in propor-
tion as I am a man for the use only of peaceful means
for the settling of disputes, I feel that I am bound only
the stronger to bring that class of means into the
most vigorous action.—(Cheers.) It is a very easy
thing to lament over the atrocities of war; but if we
mean that wiser and better agencies should accomplish
the work we intend, we are to look to it, that we
bring these agencies into the kind of play that may
accomplish that purpose. And now, sir, I cannot
prefess to be an adherent to what is called the peace
principle, to the extent of saying that the greatest of all
possible calamities is war. Ido not believe it; I be-
lieve that there are greater calamities than that. I
believe at the same time that it is a dire extremity,
and that very few wars that have taken place on earth
will bear looking at for a moment in a moral aspect.
I feel that in proportion as I go far in that direction,
I ought to do my best to put discountenance on that
barbarian mode of settling disputes by a war of one
man against another, and that I should try to bring
in modes of adjusting these disputes—intellect with
intellect, heart with heart—that are proper to civilised
man.—(Applause.) Sir, I join with the gentleman
who proposed the resolution that I am called upon to
support, in expressing thanks to Lord Palmerston for
the manly English way in which he gave utterance to
a sublime truth—a truth that relates to the power that
public opinion may be made to take along with it.
Yes, sir; but if that public opinion is to be powerful,
in the same degree it must be proclaimed. It will
not be potent in the world whilst it is pent up in
men's breasts. It must have its proclamation as from
the house top, and in the open day. The evils it
has to counteract are abroad through the world,
stalking unmasked at noon, and if public opinion is
to counteract thse opinions, it must be then as un-
masked as they, and as little familiar with fear as
they—(Applause)—and it is a sublime truth that
public opinion should have this power in it. It is a
power of its own order, and it is without armies, it is
without constables, it is without authorities f an
artificial kind, of any sort; and yet, sir, its very
breath is law; its very look is penalty—the weakest
apparently of all powers, it is by God's Providence
the mightiest of all.—(Loud applause.) If you ask
me how this comes about, I think I see a little way
to an answer. A man may not care greatly about
being feared—there are proud men who like to he
feared ; he may not care greatly about being hated ;
but let him be despised—let him feel that he is loathed
—let him be obliged to admit that he is execrated by
the intelligence and virtue of man, and that, be sure
of it, will be torture to the very soul.—(Loud ap-
plause.) It is a wise and kindly provision of the
father of our nature that it should be so; that man
should not be placed in isolation and independence of
the sympathies and feelings of his fellow-man—that
he should be so constituted as to feel that the
contempt of his fellow-men is as gall and
wormwood to his nature. Now, this mighty en•
gine we have ; we are come together this day
to wield it ; and only let the contempt of this
great empire be aroused, so that it shall here
find unmistakeable expression, and I marvel much if
even Austrian pride is not made to cower before it ;
I marvel if even Russian barbarism be found to be
wholly impervious to it ; and as to French vanity,
that I am sure will be cut to the quick by it.—(Loud
applause.) But, sir, we have no right to expect that
our men in power will do the things we wish them
to do, except we take some such posture as we are
taking to day, and allow it to be clearly seen that we
mean to hold them justified in their doings. We have
no right to expect that they will go into courts and
cabinets and speak decidedly there, if meetings like
this do not speak decidedly at home.—(Hear, hear.)
It is to expect what is unreasonable to expect. I say,
therefore, that these men should be regarded by us as
powerful, in this intervention for the independence
and the separate rights of nations, only in proportion
as they can point to their back, and let it be seen that
there are millions of enlightened and free hearted
men, who have put them upon the work to plead for
these nations. Now, sir, I understand that it is our
object to-day to give a kind of moral authority and
power to the expostulation to the English Ministry,
on behalf of national independence and national free-
dom.—(Hear, hear.) But, sir, it may be said,
" Have you a case warranting this movement ?" I
think we have. I believe we have as strong a case
as could be culled out by the most skilful historian,
from the history of Europe for the last three hundred
years. The Hungarian people, whose condition has
especially moved us to this meeting, are a people
occupying a sort of border country between the eastern
world and western Europe; and all border people
have had a restless life of it. They have been familiar
with peril, familiar with hardship, in fact, familiar
with everything that tends to make anything but a
very silky people—that is, with everything that tends
to nurture men into hardihood, and to snake them
thoroughly men. These Hungarians are the de-
scendents of those races who, two or three centuries
ago, formed the grand rampart between the then
towering force of the Turkish empire and the civili-
zation of Western Europe, and many a good fight
did they maintain in these regions, to hurl back that
force and to shelter the European nations, our own
among the rest.—(Applause.) As a consequence of
this train of circumstances they have become, as ss e
now find them, a people of much more than ordinary
amount of manly intelligence, self-reliance, and
energy . The Austrians (the Viennese especially),
being placed in circumstances where they could lean
upon the lap of power and indulgence, have, for the
most part, borne the fruit of such circumstances,
and are found to be effeminate, abject, and
feeble. In fact the history of these Hungarian.,
as compared with the history of many other
countries, bears a striking resemblance to our
own. Yes, they have their Magna Charta, even as
we have ours; and what is more, seven years before
our English barons extorted that charter from the
English King, the Hungarians had their charter.—
(Applause.) The National Diet, thus secured, has
been in their history very much what our own
National Parliament has been in ours; and then their
local associations and authorities, inseparable from the
condition in which they were, as a people that must
have liberty, in order to be always up and ready to
act against a foe—these local institutions have nur-
tured them in political intelligence, being the schools
in which they have been educated, even as in our
own Anglo-Saxon experience. It is true that they
have been a part of the Austrian empire for some
time ; but they became a part of the Austrian empire
by compact, and not by conquest. They became a
part of that empire upon conditions which required,
that the Emperor of Austria, before he placed a
step upon that throne, should avow, in the presence
of the God of nations, that he would respect the in-
dependence of the kingdom of Hungary. Sad it is
to be obliged to feel, that this respect consisted
rather in words than deeds ; that again and again
efforts were made either to put this independence
in abeyance or to cripple it in many points,
but in no instance could it be crushed. It remained
for the wise men of Austria, within the last twelve
months—auspicious period for such a work—to at-
tempt to crush a liberty which previous ministers did
not dare to attack.—(Applause.) We know what
the result has been. The Austrians, having subdued
insurrection as they deemed it, at home, go to put
down the independence assumed in that section of the
great Austrian empire called the kingdom of Hun-
gary. The Hungarians meet them at the border to
say it should not be so ; We have been independent,
our fathers were so, our children shall be so.'—
(Loud and continued applause.) Well, the battle
came on, and as you might expect, compared in point
of valour in the ranks, generalship at the head,
statesmanship over the nation, patriotism everywhere,
Hungary is triumphant, and Austria is seen rolling
back, defeated, upon Vienna—(Enthusiastic applause)
—confessedly beaten, utterly despairing of raising up
anything within themselves that could put down this
Hungarian movement. Why, sir, if ever a cause
was fairly tried that should determine whether a
people should be independent or not, I think these
Hungarians have shown that they deserve this inde-
pendence, seeing that they could appreciate it—
fight for it—die for it.—(Loud and continued cheers.)
If they do not deserve the freedom which they claim,
then I am bold to say that Englishmen do not

- nary case. It is nothing of that kind. It is a case
involving interests of vast amount. Oh yes ; and
there is another feature besides, Mr. Mayor, and to
my poor heart it is a noble and a tender feature too.
There is a religiousness in the heart of these men that
is quite refreshing, when contrasted with the cold-
heartedness on that subject of so large a portion of
Europe. I have read but recently a prayer uttered,
for the first time, over the grave of the slaughtered
ones of Hungary, by that hero for the hour, Louis
Kossuth.—[The whole meeting here rose and con-
tinued cheering and applauding most enthusiastically
for some time.] I feel that I should like to read you
this prayer.—(Loud cries of " Read.") Kossuth is
upon his knees, and the graves of his slaughtered
countrymen are beneath him. The Rev. Doctor
then, amidst the breathless silence of the meeting,
read the following prayer :
" Lord! God of the warriors of Arpad! Look down
upon thy servant from thy throne of stars—look down
upon thy servant, for the prayer of millions ascends to
heaven from his lips, magnifying the mysterious power
of thy omnipotence. My God! thy sun is radiant above
me, and beneath me are the bones of my heroic: brethren
that are fallen in battle: the heavens are blue above me,

I magnify thy power over us! Anaen.' "
(Loud applause.) There surely cannot be a heart in
this assembly that does not sympathise, I had almost
said to agony, with the spirit of that man, and mar-
vellous it is to me—greatly marvellous—that this fine
old English speech of ours, that seems as though it
were constructed to breathe no sentiment contrary to
freedom and to humanity, that this should be dese-
crated through any channel supposed to express
public opinion, by being employed to patch up ex-
cuses for oppression like this, and accusations against
men like these.—(Applause.) I cannot comprehend
it. The extent to which this is done Ido not know,
but that it is done at all is to me a mystery, and a
grief of no ordinary kind. If I might say further, I
would say that this is a question in which you, as men
of Manchester, have your interest. Do you think
that the autocrat of Russia means, by coming in thus
upon Hungary, to do the bidding of Austria—intends
to serve Austria? He is wiser than that. He means
to serve that power only to the extent to which it can
be a new instrument, whereby he can influence the
condition of European society at large. He means to
serve that empire only thus far, and its own idiotic policy
has brought it now to this blessed alternative—that
henceforth it must be virtually, if not nominally, a
mere appendage to Russia, or must sit down contented,
losing the Hungarian kingdom.—(Cheers.) Then,
sir, let any one look at the map, see where Hungary
is placed, and ask himself, " Does the Autocrat come
down, think you, nearer and nearer to the Black Sea,
to Constantinople, and have no ambitious eye in that
direction ?" We have heard, indeed, of the failure of
resources, and of the narrow means of that power.
Part of that I believe, but I am afraid that our great
townsman has over-coloured the picture of Russian
poverty and weakness; lam afraid we may err some-
what on the other side through his guidance, though
the substance may be true. Certain it is, that the
great mortification of Russia has long been, that
through British influence, its power is checked so
forcibly in these directions. Let that power prevail
there, and your traffic through these regions is no
longer safe—your way to your great Indian empire
is no longer undisturbed. We have been built up
upon the fact of possessing that empire, of our pos-
sessing this traffic, of our having it secured. Strike it
away, and in the artificial state in which we are, misery
dreadful to think of is inseparable from its luss. It is
not then for us to encourage, it is for us rather to
check, by all the moral power we can bring to hear
upon it, tendencies of such a power. Hungary has
now markets that are compratively open to you ; but
let Russia come in, and then there is the Russian
tariff, and some of you I presume know what that
means.—(Hear.) The only idea of free trade that
Russia has is, that one Russian may buy and sell
with another, and that is the only idea on the subject
that you will be able toget in there for some time. I con-
fess, however, that these economic notions, these
relations of things to the mere material interests of
men, are not the great thing with me. It is not to be
concealed from any man who will look at all patiently
at it, that the clear, the avowed purpose of the Em-
peror of Russia is to come in, as an instrument of
destiny, according to his view, to check human pro
gress, to stereotype God's creature man, to narrow up
into as small a space as possible all liberal ideas, to
exert the authority of one will over all wills, leaving
no liberty to conscience, no sacredness to person, no
safety to property, but making the will of himself to
be the sovereign law over all these human wills. But,
sir, there is nothing European in all this. It is not
merely oriental, it is the worst form of orientalism. It
is a kind of orientalism for which you have to travel
over the broad flats of Tartary or Mongolia ; and are
we to allow these things to come down like a flood
upon Europe, without even our moral power being
put forward to check it ? I think not. That Austria
should have asked aid from any quarter to settle an
international dispute we hold to be wrong ; but that
such a power should be called in to do it aggravates
the original error. Yes, and I cannot but as a man,
look on this with fear and with pain. Give me the
amount of the tyrannical sway in any people, and I
will give you the amount cf social and moral corrupt-
ness in that people. Tell me the force of the reign of
terror that is there, and I will tell you the degree in
which all virtuousness is taken from virtue, in which
all crime is raised to the place of virtue, where the
natural interests of right and wrong are in danger of
being eradicated and destroyed, where men are taught
to consider all things right that may help the weak
to counteract, to elude, to spoliate, to damage
the strong, that are everywhere working against
them.—(Loud applause.) It is a cauldron of these
awful passions that is called up wherever this kind
of power prevails ; and I say, therefore, to
Russian power " Back, back to thine own land,
back and bring not thy blight upon the fair face of
our beloved Europe."—(Loud cheers.) But I cannot
easily suppose—for though I talk thus, I have the
reputation of being somewhat of a moderatemanzil
cannot easily suppose that some persons present
say, " But how can you speak thus and be blind, to

come up from mobs, as well as from monarchs, that
tyranny may be exercised by democrats as well as
autocrats ?" I know it. But too painfully do I know
it, and all I have to say to it is that, come tyranny
whence it will, it is " the thing my soul hateth," and
had I a thousand lives to spend, I think I could
choose that the last breath of the last of them should
be spent in allowing me to look tyranny in the
face, and to say, " Tyranny, I hate thee. —(Loud
applause.) Yes, sir, further than this I say, that
I never execrate tyranny so much as when I find
it in connexion with men who can take upon their
unholy lips the sacred name of liberty. But, sir,
when I look over the wide field of history abroad
upon the earth, and upwards to the past, I am obliged
to conclude that, if popular excesses have sometimes
slain their thousands, monarchical excesses have slain
their tens of thousands.—(Loud applause.) But
there is this ; the excesses of a free people have al-
ways been the exception, not the rule ; whereas the
excesses in other quarters have too often been the
rule, not the exception. Again, too, the tyranny of a
free people carries its own corrective along with it ;
for there is an element of inconsistency that must,
after the passion is over, shame men from the prac-
tice.—(Applause.) In the other case it is not sob;sist
is only in harmony too frequently with the

I have arrived, not merely from what I hare read, but
from what I have learned from their own lips. I
have, sir, mingled with them within the last two
years. I have seen the national guard of Rome,
assembled in costume as we are now, but having their
belts upon them and their muskets at their side, two
thousand strong. I have seen them, of all places in
the world, within the quadrangle of the Vatican. I
have heard the band of that national guard play their
national air—what to them is their " God save the
Queen,"—and I have heard these two thousand,
with belts upon them and muskets by their side, sing
in the courts and under the walls of the Vatican,
the hymn of liberty. It was a strange sight to see,
sir ; and I have not a doubt but that these men
have as sincere a passion for a wise self-govern-
ment as any two thousand men who could be called
up from the most favoured sections of Liverpool or
Manchester, to be the national guard of those towns.
—(Loud applause.) There is that about them which
would surprise many Englishmen. There is an ap-
pearance of intelligence, and an air of educated self-
reliance about them, which one is delighted to look
upon. And so they stood, beneath the deep blue of
an Italian sky, the rich golden light of an Italian
sunset setting upon them, and their wives and their
betrothed ones, and their sisters and their children,
all, as they sang, joining in the exultation. Sir, I have
thought since that time of the mangled bodies of many
of these citizens, fallen by French bullets and French
bayonets—(" Shame, shame")—and I have gone home
to the place where these men dwelt, and pictured to
my mind the widowhood and orphanage, and the
bereft feeling approaching almost to madness, and as
I have done this I have been ready to say, "Oh,
France" —[The Rev. Doctor here stopped, and after
a pause said]—but perhaps I had better not say it.
This, however, I will say, I would rather see this
good ship of ours, that we call " Old England," go
down next hour beneath the waves of the sea, and
have my place upon her deck, to disappear with her
for ever, than see her riding out the boisterous
element as she has hitherto done, to contract a
blot upon her escutcheon like that which stains the
shield of France.—(The meeting here rose, and con-
tinued cheering and waving of hats for some time.)
There is a hope, sir, in a response like that.— (Re-
newed cheering.) I don't bate—and I am glad to
see that you do not bate—a jot of heart and hope,
not withstanding the cloud that may be rolling about
us. I believe that Hungary cannot become a depen-
dent of Russia. I believe that Italy never can be
ruled as it has been ruled of late, and that we have
only to be faithful to our vocation as.the professed
friends of freemen, to take our place as we ought, on
its behalf, checking its vice with a fidelity that we
have a right to exercise, but strengthening its virtues
with all the might we can. In fact, we have only to
attend to the mission that appertains to us, as men of
a country that is known in connexion with the names
of Elizabeth and Cromwell—(Cheers)—with the
names of Alfred and Hampden, of Russell and of
Sydney; we have only to catch the mantle which
these departed ones have left to us, and still our coun-
try will discharge her trust and her great leadership
as the champion for right against might—the cham-
pion of good against evil, and of the oppressed against
the oppressor."—(The whole assemblage here rose, and
their enthusiastic and tumultuous cheering and
waving of hats continued for some time.)

THE MURDER AT BERMONDSEY.

The following are the only additional particulars
which %se can communicate respecting this exciting
event. Officers belonging to the detecti►e force have
been sent to France and Germany in pursuit of Man-
ning and his wife, the former having been traced to
the South Western, and the latter to the South
Eastern Railway stations.

The female has further been traced as far as Syden-
ham, where on Tuesday night last she was inquiring
for lodgings; but beyond this all trace of either hus-
band or wife is lost.

It is said that the murder could not have been per-
petrated upon the 9th, as was at first supposed, be-
cause the deceased was on the 11th in the City, and
as it is rumoured, received some money. The utmost
exertions are being made by the police to capture the
murderers.

Shortly after eight o'clock last night information
was given at the various metropolitan police stations
that Manning had, on Saturday, the 11th instant,
cashed a SOL cheque, drawn by the deceased O'Connor
on the Bank of England, where he kept an account,
and for which Manning received five 101. Bank of
England notes, the numbers of which are 67,372,
67,373, 67,374, 67,375, and 67,376, dated 11th of
June, 1849. A notice to this effect was at once
issued, which also cautioned the public against chang-
ing the above mentioned notes, and requesting that,
should they be presented, immediate information might
be given at the Metropolitan Police Office, Great
Scotland-yard.
SOUTHAMPTON, ELEVEN P.M., MONDAY. - Two
London detective officers, Langley and another, who
had come down last Saturday, went out early this
morning to signalize the Victoria, which hove in sight
at seven o'clock, A.M., but shortly returned, stating
that the signal given to her to heave too was for some
reason either disregarded or not seen, and she pro-
ceeded on her destination. At four o'clock a tele-
graphic message from Mr. Inspector Haynes, of the
London detective force, was received by Langley, to
the effect that immediate pursuit was necessary to
board the Victoria. Langley, it appears, had been
sent (lowa by the Commissioners of Police in conse-
quence of having a perfect knowledge of both the
parties suspected of the murder, he having had them
under his surveillance, on suspicion of being connected
with the mail robberies on the Great Western Rail-
way, in January last ; and when he found by the
telegraphic dispatch that from the information which
had been received in London there was no doubt that
one if not both of the suspected parties were on board,
he immediately communicated with the authorities of
the dockyard, and the admiral forthwith ordered the
Fire Queen, Government steamer, to get up her steam
and proceed in chase of the Victoria. At ten o'clock
Langley and another officer went on board the Fire
Queen, and she immediately steamed out to sea.

THE EXPLOSION at the LETTLY

SHENKIN COLLIERY.

ABERDARE, SUNDAY.—The inquiry opened on
Friday concerning the recent fearful loss of life at
the Lettly Shenk!n Colliery, was continued yesterday
till a late hour in the evening at the Town hall.
David Evans, a collier, was called and examined—
I have worked at the Let ly Shenkin Colliery about
eleven months. I was there on Friday, the day of
the explosion, cutting coal for the flue (furnace). It
was between three and four o'clock in the afternoon.
I both heard and felt the shock, as it knocked me
down over a barrow, which I was wheeling out.
There was no gas that I could detect where I worked.
Having got up, I went towards the flue, and before I
could draw the fire out, I fell down with other men
insensible from the effects of the after damp. This
was at the bottom of the
,pit. About ten minutes
previously he received a message from David Thomas
to put out the fire. This occupied about half an hour
to do it effectually. Cannot say what was the cause
of the accident.

Jonah Davis was next examined—ls -a collier, and
on the day of the accident worked in the furthermost
dip in the lower level. I was in the stall crossing a
tram when I heard the explosion. I put out my can-
dle and then went on towards the pit's mouth, but
returned in consequence of the great heat. I went
back along the level, and sat down by Thomas Phil-
lips. I met all who worked in the dip, and some went
down the lower level to escape; they perished. I
blew out my candle immediately after the explosion,
lest the gas should reach it. The other men's candles
were out—they all went out together. Never heard
of any fatal accident in this pit.
John Morgan examined—At the time of the ex-
plosion I was at work in my stall. Immediately I
heard it I put out my light. In going along the
level, I saw two or three of the men, and spoke to
them. I went with William Williams, and kept with
him until I became insensible from the effects of the
damp. I recollect nothing more that then transpired,
and I presume that I was carried out by the men whob
came down the pit. There always appeared ,to e
plenty of air where I worked. Always worked with
candles or Baked lights.
John Homes was next sworn—While I was at
work in the pitf

them to blow them out, as there was a good deal of
sulphur about.
The proceedings were here adjourned till Monday
morning.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A remarkable Cure of Dropsy
by Holloway's Pills.—At Wootton, near Bedford, resides Mr.
John Robinson, sen., an opulent farmer, who some time ago
was in a most dangerous state from dropsy, being nearly
double his usual size; he was given over by his medical atten-
dant, and was not at the time expected to live three days, yet
gentleman is well known in all the market towns
from this hopeless state he was cured by taking Holloway's
Pill.. This
