A. DIALOGUE at DONCASTER

Two gentlemen, whose names I need not mention,
One day last week
Began to speak
Of something which enlisted my attention.
" Pray (said the first one), had you much at stake,
And have you anything worth while to take ?"
" Not much (replied the second),
When every thing is reckoned :
A half-a-dozen sovereigns, I suppose.
Barely enough to buy a suit of clothes."
" Barely enough for what ?" exclaimed his friend,
" You're out of reckoning there, I must contend.
A suit will never cost you that,
Wherever
MOSES do you puand SONrchase at ?
Would sell you one
For infinitely less;
A suit that you'll pronounce to be,
In point of style and quality,
A most superior dress.
Nay I would really lay a bet with you,
That such a sum would almost buy you two.
Six pounds, indeed, what next?
The very mention makes me feel quite vext."
"Nay (said the other), don't let me
Disturb your tranquil feelings,
I was not cognizant, you see,
Of MOSES' moderate dealings.
I've dealt for years and years with one good man,
But, positively, now, I'll change my plan.
Six pounds--let's see—if what you say is true.
MOSES for that would furnish me right through;
Yes, MOSES would supply for that
A pair of Wellingtons—a suit, and hat.
Thanks for the hint, I'll not °nil:, to take it,
I want a suit, and M. and SON shall make it."

31 One halt the woria are desolately single, and the other
;apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
Berme et right determine the former, and miscalculates hopes em-
-Ater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
sf caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
,oznorosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
Ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
..nd social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
,leenent. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform an item
:n the ecinpaCt ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, If
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
YIEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining

for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whore
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
egether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ttle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
oy r ost Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " Ilovs to be Ilappy." They are not merely
pa np;lets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
'ifs who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
serv.eics of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would to done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always

MEETING IN FAVOUR OF HUN-
GARIAN FREEDOM.
(From the Norwich Mercury.)
On Monday evening a Common Hall of the citizens
of Norwich, called by the Mayor, S. Bignold, Esq.,
in compliance with a requisition emanating from a
large number of the most influential inhabitants, was
held in St. Andrew's Hall. The interest taken in
this question was shown by the spacious building
being densely crowded, all the available spice not
only in the body of the Hall, but also on that part of
the organ gallery unappropriated by the speakers,
being filled. About 3,000 persons were present,
some of whom were Conservatives. This interest
was particularly enhanced by the presence of Lord
Dudley Coutts Stuart, a son of the Marquis of Bute
—a nobleman, the mention of whose name is alone
significant of integrity, honour, and indomitable
perseverance in the cause of freedom ; and W. B.
Donne, Esq., a gentleman of this county, who has
given the subject of Hungary much attention.
OSBORN SPRINGFIELD, Esq., came forward and
said—My fellow-citizens, you all know how much I
have had this meeting at heart, and you may there-
fore judge how deeply gratified I am to see such a
numerous attendance present tonight; and if I am
gratified to see you, I am also glad to see so many
persons of high respectability and character upon the
platform. I rejoice to find among these Mr. Hudson,
and I beg to move that he be our Chairman this
evening.
The motion was immediately carried by accla-
mation.
A. HUDSON, Esq., then took the chair, amidst loud
applause. As soon as silence was obtained he said—
Ladies and gentlenien, I am very little in the habit of
attending public meetings. Ido not thin that any
of you ever saw me present at one before—but I really
had so much at heart the object of this meeting, in
which I think is involved not only the liberties of
Hungary, but the liberties also of the world, that
having been required to take the chair, I could not
hesitate in acceding to that desire.—(Loud cheers.)
I am extremely happy to see so large and numerous
a meeting. I confess I did not expect this. I did
think that Hungary was so little known to the inha-
bitants of this city that they would hardly have
dreamt where or what it was ; but I have noticed that
wherever oppression occurs, in whatever part of the
world it is found to exist, it is sufficient to cause the
citizens of Norwich to stand up and to express their
abhorrence of it.—(Loud cheers.) lam delighted, I
again repeat, to see so large a meeting, and I am more
delighted to see around me persons of every opinion,
and of every shade of politics. lam glad to see that
they have sunk all their difference in the expression
of this one opinion—that it is the duty of England
to protest against the nefarious and unjust
Hungarian war.—(Hear, and loud cheers.) It may
be said that we are too late in holding this meeting,
and I think that we are much too late. This demon-
stration ought to have taken place long ago ; but still
I am of opinion that if this meeting be followed by a
general expression of the feeling of the people of
England, we shall strengthen the hands of the Go-
vernment, and some arrangement may he made and
negotiations entered into by which Hungary may
still retain her nationality, and her undoubted right
to elect her own Parliament.—(Cheers.) I confess
that I have been astonished to see the apathy, the
almost total indifference with which this question has
been received in England, and I can only attribute it
to the want of sufficient communication between
Hungary and this country. Unhappily, the news-
papers, from which we obtain a knowledge of what
is passing, with the exception of those excellent papers
the Examiner, The Sun, the Daily News, and one of
our own valuable local journals (the Mercury), the
editor of which I perceive is present, have long taken
up the side of the despot. It has been represented
that the war in Hungary was a mere provincial re-
volt against their Emperor. Now this is not true.
For three centuries Hungary has been a kingdom,
possessing regularly defined rights and liberties, with
a parliament of her own, snaking laws for herself,
and it was the violation of these rights
and privileges by the Emperor of Austria, that
drove the people into insurrection.—(Loud cheers.)
Unhappily they Lave failed in their attempt,
and, when the news of that failure arrived, the world
stood tamely by. Some called it a small unimportant
provincial insurrection, but how does it happen that if
it were such an outbreak that it should have required
the united forces of the two great powers of the
north, Russia and Austria, to quell it, and they could
hardly succeed in doing so ? With their great wealth
and immense armies, while Hungary had none of the
former, and only fresh levies raised in the emergency,
ultimate success could not be expected to attend the
struggles of the brave Hungarians. They have
fought and fallen, but still if this country stands for-
ward, some amount of liberty may be obtained for
them, and they may not be struck out of the map of
Europe as a nation, as has been done in the case of
Poland.—(Cheers.) I feel that in exercising the
functions of Chairman, I am taking up too much of
your time with these details, and I am ashamed in
having done so, when I see the Noble Lord who sits
beside me—(Cheers)—who has throughout his life
always exerted himself and his great talents in the
cause of the people. When I say I consider that he
is much more able to address you upon this subject,
having devoted a greater amount of study to it, cor-
responded with the parties engaged in it, and conse-
quently much more acquainted with its details, I feel
that I should be trespassing on your time if I occupied
it any longer.—(No, no ;go on.) I shall therefore
conclude with a request that the speakers will confine
themselves to the object of the meeting.—(Cheers.)
P. J. MONEY, Esq., then came forward and said—
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, the first resolution for
your approbation has been put into my hands, and I
am very happy to say that the presence of the Noble
Lord who has favoured us with his company this
evening, will render it not only superfluous, but
almost impertinent, for me to detain you beyond a
few minutes on this subject. I shall only observe that
you and every free born Englishman who has thought
upon this subject must feel deeply at the result
which has attended the struggle in Hungary.—
(Loud cheers) It appears that Austria was not able
to subdue Hungary by herself, but she had to call
upon the Northern tyrant, the Emperor, to assist her;
and to their everlasting disgrace the armies of the two
despots combined, and the Emperor of Austria has
at length succeeded in striking at the root of Hunga-
rian liberty.—(Hear, hear.) I shall only say, gen-
tlemen, that I trust Hungary will obtain that freedom
which has now been unjustly wrested from her, and
that their watch-word will be " Fall, tyrants, fall,"
until their nation shall be free.—(Loud cheers.) Cap-
tain Money then proposed the resolution, which was
as follows :—" That the Hungarian nation, in its
struggle for constitutional liberty, is entitled to the
warmest sympathies of all classes and all parties of the
British people."
T. BRIGHT WELL, Esq., came forward to second the
resolution, and was received with loud applause. He
said—My friends and fellow-citizens, I do not know
that I have voice enough to be heard in all parts of
this hall, but having been requested to second this
resolution I found it impossible to refuse. Ido not
intend to enter very largely into the Hungarian
question, or to give you any lengthy details upon
the subject. I leave that duty to those who are able
and willing to give that information which we long
to receive ; but I have a heart to feel with you in
this cause, and I say it is impossible for any one.to
read and learn the whole of the details connected
with this transaction without feeling an amount of
indignation that almost required a public meeting to
give it vent.—(Cheers.) There is something about
the English character, and I feel proud of being an
Englishman, that will not permit them to see oppres-
sion without being moved by it. It is the glory of
our country that the moment a man sets his foot upon
its soil, be he native or be he stranger, that moment
he can exclaim, "I am free l"—(Loud cheers.) It is
that noble sense of freedom which gives us not only our
own force of character, but that deep sympathy with
all those that are suffering under oppression
and despotism—that gives us a strong feeling of sym-
pathy with those who struggle when under the op-
pressor's feet, and with those that struggle to obtain
or preserve their rights and liberties.—(Loud cheers.)
Still when we see, as our esteemed Chairman has told
us, that not only is the freedom of a nation concerned,
but that the liberties of the whole of Europe are in-
volved—that the question is in no remote degree our
own, how much more strongly ought that sympathy
to be expressed.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, it has been
said that the movements of the present day have a
tendency to general peace—that we are approaching
a time when man will no longer fight in torrents of
blood in order to ascertain what is the truth or the
right, but that the contests which will be waged
will be of a moral character— that moral warfare
is the only mode of properly deciding a question,
and that mars will only contend with the weapons

own. What we want then is to excite such a feeling
as may tend to curb the power of these despots, and
may cause them to know that no nation will see
another trodden down by the feet of a tyrant, without
raising their voices from one end of the country to the
other, and thus showing to him that they will not
suffer it. I am an advocate of peace, and I have
lived long enough to see that when a great nation
expresses its opinion, that opinion is felt. When we
look around Europe we see abundant proof of this.
How has it been felt on the other sile ef the coAti.
nent of Europe ? Have we not had little more to do
than to express our feelings when we wanted to pre-
vent a war between Egypt and Turkey ? And we
shall have little more to do than to carry out the same
principle when we find other nations on the eve of
war.—(Cheers) Is there any doubt that if at the
commencement we had assumed a high and decided
tone, as we ought to have done, there would have
been no blood shed in Hungary. But these things
are only the beginning of this moral revolution.—
(Cheers.) The statesmen of Europe have not been
faithful to their promises ; they have deceived and
betrayed their people, who now tell them, that they
have not done what they promised. They called on
them for bread, and they gave them a stone.—
(Cheers.) Had the nations of Europe done what they
ought to have done with regard to Poland, there is
every reason for believing that Russia would not have
been hunting that suffering people from shore to shore.
The Russians say, " It is the rascally Poles they are
going to fight against, and not the Hungarians." Did
the world ever hear such an Impudent, false assertion?
Knowing, as we do, the history of Poland, and hear-
ing Russia saying to the Hungarians, we come here
because the Poles have stir d you up to rebellion and
war, what are we to think ? But what is the history
of the transaction in which Poland lost her na-
tionality ? We all know that Russia, Prussia, and
Austria seized on Poland, as the first of these would
now do with respect to certain states lying around
her—that Poland was divided as a very sweet morsel,
between these three kingdoms without the slightest
consideration for the people, but that they (Russia,
&c.) have been foiled and disappointed in peacably
obtaining possession of this gotten territory by
that sort of moral retribution which always falls upon
the aggressor.—(Hear.) What has been the con-
sequence ? Why, that we are constantly hearing
of something about Russia and Poland—that the
Poles never suffered the Russians to be at peace—
that they have always been an eye-sore and a thorn in
the side of Russia, and have become almost a terror
to the despot.—(Hear.) The Autocrat of Russia has
always exercised the most despotic sway, and he has
endeavoured to keep them down by the crushing
force of a military despotism, but he has never
succeeded.—(Hear, hear.) And what do we
now find ? Why that Russia invades Hungary,
saying that she came not to fight against the people
of that country, but against the Poles, because she
alleges that they have been stirred into insurrection
by the efforts of the Poles. This is not so, but it is
in consequence of the unjust feeling she entertains
towards the people.—(Cheers.) Let states be honest
—let the public be honest—let promises be fulfilled.
Had this been done we should not have witnessed such
scenes, and we should not have seen what has taken
place in our own provinces, but instead, should have
found a happy, umited, and free people.—(Cheers.)
The Hungarians have obtained abundant promises and
oaths; they have had all the promises necessary to
satisfy any people, so far as the letter went, but they
never obtained the spirit..—(Hear, hear.) It is not
in Austria to give it. She has a great moral lesson
to learn, and we are about to-night to teach her.—
(Cheers.) And notwithstanding all that these despots
may say, we shall stand by the side of the oppressed
against the oppressor, and act as far as we can in
rejoicing with those that struggle.—(Cheers.) Let
our principle be to recognise and aid the voices of
those that suffer, and do all we can to cheer and en-
courage them. Let us do all we can to put them in
a proper position, and cheer them as brothers.—
(Cheers.) This is the spirit of the resolution that
has just been proposed for your adoption. I bee
pardon for trespassing so long upon your time. I will
now leave the subject to those who are to follow me,
who will, I trust, impress the details upon you, so that
when you leave this meeting you will entertain a deep
feeling of its importance, and a deep sympathy for the
sufferings of the Hungarian people.—(Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, I
shall now introduce to you Lord Dudley Stuart. The
name of his Lordship was received with the most
enthusiastic cheering and applause, which was con-
tinued when ho rose and presented himself to the
meeting. As soon as silence had been restored,
Lord DUDLEY STUART spoke as follows :—Ladies
and Gentlemen, I assure you that I feel very proud
to have the opportunity of addressing a Common-hall
of the city of Norwich, assembled for the purpose of
discussing the question of Hungary.—(Cheers.) It
is always delightful to me to have the opportunity of
meeting any number of my fellow-countrymen on the
subject of liberty—(Loud cheers)—and I think it
does honour to our country that the feeling which
exists with regard to the brave patriots of Hungary,
should be expressed in the manner it has been from
one end of the kingdom to the other.—(Cheers.) There
have been public meetings held upon this subject not
only in the metropolis, but in every part of the king-
dom. If you were to go from Southampton, through
Wales, to Manchester, to Yorkshire, to Glasgow,
and even the most northerly parts of Scotland,
you would find that all Britain agree in feel-
ings of sympathy for that brave people who
dared to struggle for their liberty and to maintain
their rights.—(Cheers.) And I am glad—nay, I am
proud to see, that in this ancient and famous city of
Norwich an example is being set to the inhabitants of
the eastern parts of our island, which will show that
you are not deficient in the same noble feeling which
has been expressed by the inhabitants of other places,
but that you are determined to meet together—to
unite your voices—to proclaim your ,sympathy for
freedom and your detestation of tyrants and tyranny.
—(Enthusiastic cheers.) Some persons taking
selfish views of this question, or guided by selfish
principles, are sometimes 'prone to inquire why the
people of England should feel any sympathy for the
Hungarians. They say, what do the people at large
of England know about Hungary? Why, they know
this—that the Hungarians are struggling for freedom.
—(Loud cheers.) They know that the Hungarians
are attacked by despots.—(Cheers.) They know that
the Hungarians have defended their rights like brave
men—like Englishmen.—(Continued cheers.) And
if they knew no more, these are titles enough to the
sympathy of every honest Briton. But I would tell
those persons who make such inquiries, that having
had the advantage and the honour of mixing with all
ranks and classes of my countrymen, I find the work-
ing men—the industrious artizans of this country—
thanks to the spread of education—thanks to the diffu-
sion of knowledge by means of cheap publications—
thanks to the power of the press—are
much better informed upon this and all other
subjects of foreign and domestic policy than
they imagine that the working men of
England do take the pains and find the leisure in the
midst of their laborious avocations—(Cheers)—to
make themselves acquainted with the struggles that
are being enacted by those who love liberty and free-
dom on the continent—(Loud cheers)—and perhaps
those hard working men who have not so much
leisure as those who are lapped in the bosom of luxury,
may yet, on many occasions, find means to make
themselves better• acquainted with facts than those
from whom more information might be expected.—
(Applause.) I believe that in the cottage and in the
factory many who are hard at work at their various
avocations still do turn their thoughts to those
patriots in foreign lands, who are battling with des-
potism, and who act as Englishmen in this country
would do under similar circumstances and as our
forefathers have done.— (Applause.) And even sup-
posing that a large number of the people of this
country are not acquainted with all the details of
Hungarian history, still they know generally that
that history is very analogous to that of our own
country.—(Hear, hear.) At least they know that
Hungary deserves our sympathies, because they are
aware that her people have been struggling to obtain
their freedom. Looking to men in whom they place
confidence—men like Mr. Hume and Mr. Cobden—
who have headed the movement in their favour, they
have been led to make further inquiries into the
facts of the struggle entered upon by Hungary, and
they have found, no doubt, that the further they in-
quired the greater reason they discovered for taking
an interest in the people ; and that that sympathy to
which they were originally called by the warm feel-
ings of their breasts they were encouraged to perse-
vere in by the dictates of their cooler reason,-
-(Cheers.) They have learnt, as no doubt many of
you have done, that the history of Hungary presents
great analogies to that of England—that the Hunga-
rians have enjoyed a free constitution for a long pe-
riod—that they do not love war, nor have they taken
up arms to do battle for some visionary theory, or
some organic change in the ancient constitution of
their country, that some thousands of sword did not
fight for any red
fly from their scabbards in order to establish a re-
public, to obtain some new visionary notion of that
kind, as has been represented by their enemies to be

so that would

have been no reason for my not taking an interest
in them and in the result of their struggle.—(Cheers.)
That is a sentiment to which I have given utterance on
various occasions, and while it has elicited praise from
some, it has been made the ground of attack on me by
others. But I wish to be well understood. I seek
to deceive no man. 1 say again, that if the Hun-
garians had risen for the purpose of establishing a
republic it would be no reason why I should with-
hold my sympathy from them.—(Loud cheers.) In
saying this I do not mean to recommend to the Hun-
rians the adoption of a republic or any other particular
form of government. Ido not presume to do that,
as I am sure there are men in Hungary who, if left to
themselves, well know how to prepare that form of
government which is best adapted to the wants of the
people ; but I would say this, that every people have
a perfect right to determine under what form of
government they will live.—(Here the meeting rose
and gave three hearty cheers.) I say every people
has that right—be their choice what it may—be it to
have a republic—be it to have a constitutional mo-
narchy—in them is vested the right of determining,
and no despot—and above all no foreign despot—has
any right to interfere with the free will of the people
in their choice.—(Enthusiastic cheers.) The Hun-
garians, however, rose to fight not for a new but an
old, an ancient constitution—a constitution as ancient
as our own, and, as I have said, very much like that
which we enjoy, for it was composed of King, Lords,
and Commons—an hereditary Sovereign, an heredi-
tary House of Peers,,and a House of Commons elected
by the people.—(" Ours is not," and applause.) These
rights they demanded should be preserved to them.
That constitution had been handed down from father
to son for many generations—as many in fact as our
own, and they desired that it should be preserved to
them in all its integrity. A gentleman in the hall
says that our House of Commons is not properly elected
by the people.—(" Certainly," and applause.) In this
respect the Hungarians then have been like ourselves;
they felt that their House of Commons was not elected
as it ought to be.—(Cheers.) They felt that the
suffrage ought to be extended.—(Loud cheers.) They
did not wish to introduce a new constitution, but
they desired to ameliorate and extend the old one.—
(" So do we.") There again they acted like ourselves.
—(Cheers.) A gentleman says, "So do we." Now,
that is just what I say.—(Enthusiastic cheers.) Every
moment I discover striking analogies between Hun-
gary and England. They felt that their constitution
required amelioration ; that the suffrage was not
sufficiently extended, and under the illustrious Kossuth
—(Cheers)—they last year determined to enlarge it,
and they adopted a system which was all but that of
universal suffrage.—(Loud cheers.) There is no doubt
that the Hungarians would have stopped at no reform
until they had obtained complete rights, and a satis-
"actory state of things for every man in the kingdom.
—(Cheers.) As it was, they had introduced into their
old constitution, through their Government, a degree
of freedom probably greater than that enjoyed by any
country in Europe.—(" Not through Finality John ;'
cries of " Silence.") Gentlemen, the Hungarians
have been remarkable for their attachment to prin-
ciples which I hope are dear to every Englishman—l
mean the principles of civil and religious liberty.—
(Cheers.) Although in times past there was no dif-
ference whatever made by the Government between
the various religious sects, which was a fact that could
not be said of this country a few years ago, no man
could be excluded from any office or privilege because
he belonged to one religion or another, but Protestant
and Catholic lived together in harmony and friend-
ship, and there was no enmity prevailing on this ac-
count; still there was one disability left, but this the
immortal Kossuth swept away last year.--(Cheers.)
Yes, the Hungarians swept away the disability of the
Jews—that last remnant of intolerance and bigotry—
from their free constitution. Under their constitution
no man was asked what was his religion, but Protes-
tant and Catholic—in fact every man, so long as he
conducted himself as a good citizen, was admitted to
equal rights.—(Loud applause.) But there is another
principle for which the Hungarians have shown a de•
voted attachment, which ought strongly to recommend
them to our sympathies, were it only for the sake of our
own interests. They have always been the strenuous
advocates of free trade. lam aware that attempts
have been made to deny this, and to represent them
as having lately attempted to introduce the selfish
policy of protection ; but this charge is wholly
without foundation. The facts of the case are these.
Hungary is not a manufacturing country, but is rich
in the production of agriculture, and the people it
seems were in the habit of taking as much of the
manufactures of Austria as they required, and paying
For them in grain and wine, &c. The Austrian Go-
vernment, however, had imposed an exorbitant tariff
on the importation of the productions of Hungary, and
it was only to force the former to admit the corn, wino,
Rte., of the Hungarians into Austria that the Govern-
ment came to the resolution, that if they did not
remove what was tantamount to a prohibition to the
importation of corn into Austria, their manufactures
should not be permitted to enter Hungary. But they
were anxious to interchange their productions not
only with Austria, if the latter would have consented,
but with all Europe at large, as can be clearly proved
by reference to the repeated resolutions passed by the
Diet, and by the commercial treaty entered into by
Kossuth a few months ago with the Government of
this country.—(Cheers.) Those acquainted with
the state of Hungary—those that have travelled
there, and made themselves acquainted with the
productions of the country and the manners of the
inhabitants, are fully convinced that no greater benefit
could be conferred upon the commerce of this coun-
try than that Hungary should be independent.—
(Hear, hear, and applause.) She has a soil of re-
markable fertility—they produce corn, wine, tobacco,
Sic., but as 1 have said the people are not acquainted
with manufacture ; their industry has not been turned
to this object ; and all that they employ themselves
in is in producing the fruits of the soil, and those if
brought here, as they must have been in large quan-
tities, would have afforded the Hungarians the oppor-
tunity of doing that which they are anxious to do,
namely—the opportunity of taking our manufactures
in large quantities in return.—(Loud cheers.) Hun-
gary, if left to itself—if left to do that which now she
dares not do, would offer a noble outlet for the manu-
factures of this country, and in a short time, accord-
ing to the opinions of those who have entered into
calculations upon the subject, there would be as large
a trade beween her ar.d this country, as there is be-
tween this country and the United States.—(Hear,
hear, 'and applause.) Wherever there are manufac-
tories of cotton, of silk, or of woollen goods—and I
believe there are large manufactories of these goods
in the city in which I have now the honour of
speaking—wherever there are manufactories of cut-
lery or of iron, there the feelings of interest ought to
prompt the people, if their generous sentiments do
not, to take a deep interest in the affairs of
Hungary.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) If Hungary
were independent we should send out all the manu-
factures I have enumerated ; and many a time I have
thought that, if Hungary continues oppressed, and
this noble mart is kept closed to us, we shall often
find the demand for our manufactures languish, for
Austria, and no less Russia, who are the greatest
enemies of England, and particularly to the intro-
duction of the manufactures of this kingdom, strictly
prohibit our goods by the imposition of tariffs—
(Hear, hear)—and will not allow Hungary, who is
anxious to become a purchaser, to receive them. Ah,
many a time, when your looms are standing still—
when you are not able to earn the wages which you
ought to receive, and, consequently, cannot provide
for yourselves and families—many a time will you
think with sorrow of the struggle of the Hungarians,
who, had they not been put down by the arms of a
despot, would have enjoyed liberties like yours, and
would have been able to promote not only the prin-
ciples of freedom and of right, but your prosperity.
—(Loud cheers.) I think, gentlemen, you will
allow that these are a few valid reasons why English-
men ought to feel sympathy with the Hungarians.—
(Cheers.) And ought we not, who have always been
a brave people—that belong to a country whose
achievements by land and by sea have been rivalled
by none—must we not feel sympathy for the men
who, against unequal numbers and countless hordes
of Russian barbarians, joined to the forces of Austria,
have performed such great and noble deeds ?
Who is there that does not feel his bosom warm when
he hears of the noble achievements of Hungary, led
by Beni and Dembinsky ?—(Cheers.) Who is there
that did not rejoice when he heard of the Hunga-
rians again and again beating the Austrians from
the field, until at last they bad to procure the aid of
the Russian despot, whose barbarian soldiers have at
length succeeded in overrunning the plains of Hun-
gary ?—(Cheers.) It is not true that the Austrians
have conquered these brave men, though they now
boast of having done so, but it is true that the Hun-

them down, if she had not received the assistance of
Russia.—(Hear, hear.) Again, are we not a nation
distingnished by more than our bravery, by our
attachment to civil and religious liberty ? If there

is one thing of which an Englishman is proud, and
which distinguishes him above all others, it is his
love of what is called in homely phrase—fair play.—
(Loud cheers) Whenever a fight takes place, and
anything like foul play is attempted, the public inter-
fere and will not allow it. Fair play is a sentiment
which we are taught in our youth, when as children
we have our little battles and fights with one an,-,ther.
—(Laughter.) But was thre anything like fair

tution; then he violates it, and after crushing the
people through the assistance of the Russians, he
returns thanks to God for having done so with

Impunity.—(Cheers.) But, gentlemen, let us trust
that so iniquitous a course will not always succeed—
for at last the Hungarians have been put down by
means of Russian bayonets. The Austrian yoke is
fixed upon their necks for the present.—(Hear, hear.)
Why then have we assembled here if all is over?

been in a righteous cause.—(Cheers.) We are not a
people who cannot bear to talk anywhere but on the
sunny side of the street. We do not turn our b.lcks
upon the unfortunate; we honour the brave who are
vanquished, and vanquished though this brave people
may be, we are determined to see if something
cannot be done to ameliorate their condition.—(Loud
cheers.) We will not so give up the struggle.
(Hear, hear.) We do not meet for the purpose of
making a funeral oration, and then decently interring
the bleeding remains of the people. No ; that won't
satisfy Englishmen.—(Loud applause.) We want
something more practical. People will not come to-
gether at great trouble and inconvenience, perhaps,
when nothing is to be done, except to express a bar-
ren sympathy; although I mu,t say, that if nothing
&se were to be done, I should rejoice at the feeling
that would be thus evinced—not for the sake of llun-

gary, but for the sake of England herself. Such a
meeting would at least prove that the people of this
country were not indifferent to the fate of those brave
men, and that they did not acquiesce by their silence
in the iniquitous proceedings of the despots.—(Ap-
plause.) But we hope that something else may be
done. The splendour of this meeting, which is a
great and noble one—and the opinion of the people of
this important country from one end to another, will
be expressed so plainly, so forcibly, so unmistakeably,
that her Majesty's Government will see at once that it
is right and fitting they should act upon it, and in ac-
cordance with it.—(Cheers.) We hope that such a
demonstration as this will give strength to those in tl.e
Government, who like ourselves feel sympathy for the
Hungarians.—(Loud cheers.) We hope they wiil
put to silence, and show to those members of the
Government, if any such there be, who feel sympathy
with the despots, what are the sentiments of the
people of England; and we feel that the effect of this
meeting will be to strengthen the hands of the Go-
vernment in the representations they will make to the
Austrian Cabinet in favour of Hungary. We cannot
now call on the Government to recognise the inde•
pendence of Hungary, as a short time ago they were
disposed to do. Ah ! I wish that had been done six
months ago—(" Shame that it was not")—for if it had,
Hungary would have found means to resist her ene-
mies, and if such meetings as these had been held
throughout the cantry, it is my opinion that the
conduct of our Government would have been different

to what it was.—(Cheers.) Unhappily the distance
between this countryPand Hungary is so great, and
the means taken by the enemy to prevent the cir-
culation of intelligence have been so great, that
it was a long time before the people here became
acquainted with the state of things in that country.
Hungary, lying as it does between Turkey and the South
of Europe, is not, perhaps, at such a :very great dis-
tance from this country ; if you could travel by the
railway by a straight road, you would be able to
reach it in the course of a few days ; but the Aus-
trians, during the late disturbances, took especial
care to stop all communication from thence, the mails
were taken off the roads, and as she had got possession
of Fiume, the only port belonging to Hungary on the
Adriatic, there was no way of sending letters to this
country, and consequently we were in ignorance of
what was passing; and what was more, the Hunga
rians were not made acquainted with the sympathy
which had sprung up and was growing in the minds
of the people of this country.—(Cheers.) llowever,
as the Hungarians have been subdued by tyranny in
its worst form, they cannot now effect their indepen-
dence, but our Government may represent to Austria
how important it is that she should preserve their in-
tegrity and independence.—(Cheers.) Our Govern-
ment may remind the Emperor that late proceedings
are very similar to what took place when Poland was
partitioned—they may represent to him how much
he will consult his own fair fame and happiness—
aye, and probably the security of his dominions, if,
having now overcome Hungary, he treats the van-
quished with kindness, with forbearance, and with
respect.—(Loud cheers.) You know, gentlemen,
that the Emperor of Austria is an extremely young
man—in fact, hardly yet emerged from childhood—
that he has just been led, by stepping through soas of
blood of Austrians anie Hungarians, to the throne.
He is a young monarch, the brilliant morning of
eighteen summers having just dawned upon him.—
(Sensation, and cries of " Shame.") Is it not a me-
lancho:y sight to see a youth like that urged to place
himself at the head of a policy which shall destroy
and enslave a great and noble nation ? But this
Prince, who is of such tender years, in all probability
would abhor and detest the policy of his Government
were he aware of its character ; and to some who re-
flect upon the subject, it will be evident that some
kind of influence has been at work of which we are
ignorant to enable his Cabinet to carry out their de-
signs. We may at the least suppose that he has not
been made aware of many things that have been done
in his name.—(Hear, hear.) No doubt that young
man, who is now of an age when the heart is generally
open to warm and generous emotions and noble aspira-
tions, would shudder with horror if made aware of
the atrocities of him who now commands the Austrian
forces in his name, and whose own name will never
cease to be hailed with curses and execrations—I
mean General Haynau.—(Cheers.) Very likely
this young Emperor is not aware that this
Austrian military butcher, in the name of his sove-
reign, has been shooting his prisoners of war in cold
blood, sacrificing women, and hanging the ministers
of religion merely because they were supposed to be
attached to the cause of their country.—(Shame,
shame, and Hear, hear.) I cannot suppose that the
Emperor read that iniquitous proclamation of Gen.
Haynau before it was circulated. The proclamation
says, " Take notice that all persons of whatever name,
age, or sex, that shall war against my sovereign, or
commit violence on any of his subjects ; or whatever
persons of whatever name, age, or sex, shall insult
one of my soldiers, shall be doomed to instant death"
—(Hear, hear)—so that for the paltry offence of
insulting one of these military butchers, the soldier
thus offended was to be judge in his own case, and
was to put the unfortunate individual to death—and
this too, remember, was to be done without discrimi-
nation of age or sex.—(Shame, shame.) I cannot
believe that this young Prince was aware of these
things—l cannot but hope that when he becomes
acquainted with them be will shudder at the details,
and that he will listen to the representations which
Lord Palmerston may be disposed to make to him—
(Cheers)—that he will be pleased, now that the
sceptre is placed in his hand, to wield it over Hun-
gary with a beneficent sway. Oh, what a bles-
sing it would be if this young Monarch were to be
fired with the noble ambition of blotting out the
bloody crimes—the horrors in which his reign has
commenced, by conquering the affections
he'is
people.—(Loud cheers.) This no doubt would I a

(Loud cheers.) The Emperor of Austria ought also
to consider, that by the kind treatment of the Hun-
garians, he will not only be acting in a way that will
be conducive to his honour, and one that will be ap-
lbiynemr
proved of by all who admire morality and religion,
but he will also be acting in accordance with the dic-
tates of the soundest policy. He has near him a dan-
gerous and an insidious neighbour, and although that
neighbour. has afforded him effectual assistance in the
unjust and nefarious attempt against Hungary, yet
nevertheless he ought to know, as every one else does
know, that the only real way of securing his dominions
against the grasping attempts of Russia is by firmly
attaching the Hungarian people to his throne.—(Loud
