PitiC.F.S OF SIIAiItES

INDEPENDENCE OF HUNGARY.
A meeting was held last night in Gc-crge-street,
Sloane-sqm:o,', for the ptrposo of expressing sym-
pathy with the struggle of the Ilungnrian nation fcr
its con,titutioilal rights and priil,ges.
Mr. FIELD presided, and, after a few preliminary
observations tendivg to show that the cause of Hun-
gary was the cause of liberty and progression all over
the world, called upon
Mr. C. Nienonns, who proposed the first resolu-
tion. It was to the following effect :
" That this meeting, while viewing with indigna-
tion and sorrow the effusion by the barbaric hordes
of Austria and Russia of the blood of our Hungarian
brethren, yet locks with delight, admiration, and
sympathy upon the heroic determination manifested
by them in their present struggle for independence
and the estisblisnment of democratic institutions, and
hereby affirms them to have deserved well of huma-
nity therefore."
In comparing the successes of democracy upon the
continent with the victories of despotism, he said, they
could not fail coming to the conclusion, flat white
democracy had advanced despotiAo had been crusted,
tt:al that the power of despots was now confined v ith-
in very narrow limits as compared with former years.
Never had greater intgnanimity and moderation
been shown to opponents and enemies than that
evinced by the leaders of modern democracy,
Kossuth and Mazziei ; but what did they see on the
part of those who attempted to ciush every effort of
freedom, but a brute cruelty which slaugh,.ered,
without distinction, men, women, and children, for
the simplest exhibition of popular feeling ? After
alluding to the noble and dignified manner in which
the Hungarians had withstood their oppressors, be
concluded by quoting an expression from Kossuth,
that he who helped himself was of God helped, and
that however injustice and lies might succeed for a
while, they would at last defeat themselves.
Mr. HENRY Nicuoans, in seconding the resolu-
tion, said it was their duty, as men professing to be
free, to show aristocrats and autocrats that if they
combined to crush freedom, freedom would com-
bine its forces' to crush them.—(Cheers.) If the
free nations of the world had remonstrated before at
the interference of Austria and Russia, there would
be no necessity now to call meetings to show that the
sympathy of England went with the Hungarians; but,
as that had not been done, it became their duty indig-
nantly to denounce the atrocities which had been
committed by those two tyrannical powers—for the
Hungarian people counted upon the aid of every
nation seeking fur freedom.—(Cheers.)
The resolution being put, was carried unanimously.
Mr. ALFRED GOODWILL moved—" That this meet-
ing hereby calls upon her Majesty's Government at
once to recognise the independence of the Hungarian
Republic, to demand of the Cabinets of St. Peters-
burgh and Vienna the immediate withdrawal of their
troops from that country, and, in the event of their
refusing compliance, to declare w ar against them."
He said he was not actuated in moving this resolution
by any inherent love for war; he was convinced of
the evils of it ; but there were worse evils than war,
and greater good sometimes than peace. If a person
saw a man attacked in the street by thieves
and murderers, and looked on without interfering
to stop the assailants, he was, in law, considered
an accessory to the fact, and if England was a quiet
spectator of the spoliation committed by Austria and
Russia, she was placed in such a position that she
could not fail to be looked upon as a party to it.
Lord Palmerston had justified his non-intervention
policy by saying that the Austrian empire was a
most important element in the balance of European
power; that it stood in the centre of Europe, and was
a barrier to encroachments on the one side and invasion
on the other. But the fact was that the Hungarians
were engaged in a life.and-death struggle, a struggle
which would end either in liberty or in slavery
without limit—in self-government or in unmitigated
despotism. It was absurd then for the opponents of
war to say, "let us have peace," when thousands of
their fellow-creatures were being slaughtered by
hordes of Austrian and Russian barbarians.
Mr. THOMPSON seconded the resolution. The
Hungarians only demanded those liberties which had
been guaranteed to them by previous Sovereigns,
and they did not take up arms to defend their rights
until every legal and constitutional means had been
first tried in order to secure them. It was difficult to
ascertain from the ukase of the Czar, which had
been published to justify his interference, where he
meant to stop. The fact was this, he was alarmed at
the progress of liberal opinions in Hungary, which,
being contiguous to his dominions, was likely to give
him a good deal of trouble, and he was very anxious
to assist his neighbour the Emperor of Austria in
order to put down those opinions. Aggrandisement
had alwaa s been, and would still be, the policy pur-
sued by Russia. The Czar only wanted a pretext
for extending his dominions, and shOuld he be suc-
cessful in putting down the Hungarian people, did
they think that he would take back his troops,
or that even Hungary wculd be added to the
Crown of Austria ?—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.")
It would be much easier, however, to prevent either
of these casualties happening before than after the
Russian bear had succeeded in subjugating the people.
—(Hear). The escutcheon of British honour would
not be made any brighter by their standing by quietly
witnessing a people butchered, especially when this
was coupled with the fact, that England gave its

silent assent to the disgraceful partition of Poland.—
(Hear, hear.) The independence of Hungary was
the recognition of a principle which was sup-
ported by every free nation, and the reason why
the Emperor of Russia bad not yet succeeded,
was because he did not carry public opinion
with him. In the freedom of Hungary were
wrapped the liberties of the world, and therefore it
behoved the English Government to see that its inde-
pendence was not crushed.--(Cheers.)
The resolution was carried with applause.
A memorial to her Majesty, embodying the two
resolutions, and praying that she might be graciously
leased to recognise
whe ithdrpawalublic un
of the troops of
Austria and Russia, and, in the event of a refusal, to
declare war against the despotic and savage assailants
of the Hungarian people was then agreed to.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman,
and the meeting separated.

OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—An inquest was he
Thursday before Mr. Higgs, at the King's Head,
Edmonton, on the body of Mr. Richard Wonder, aged
62, an omnibus proprietor, who was killed under the fol.
lowing circumstances:— It appeared that on Tuesday
morning last, at 11 o'clock, the omnibus which was then
due for London was about to start from Lower Edmon-
ton, when the deceased said ho would drive it up to
town. On reaching Stamford-hill the omnibus was
stopped, and a lady alighted, who was followed by the
conductor carrying her box. During the absence of the
conductor, another lady approached the omnibus, and
the deceased handed the reins to one of the outside
passengers. He descended from the box, and, after
letting the passenger in, slammed the door, and the
horses instantly started forward. They were pulled
back by the passenger who had the reins, and
the sudden check caused the animals to fall back
heavily upon the omnibus. The force was so great
that the top of the polo instantly broke off, and the
horses commenced plunging in a most fearful manner.
The deceased immediately went in front of them,
and caught the reins of the off-side horse and endeavoured
to quiet them, but without success. They still kept
kicking and plunging, and dragged the deceased some
distance along the ground, is hen he suddenly relin-
quished his hold and fell forward between their legs
upon his face. The horses finding themselves free im-
mediately started forwards, and both the off wheels of
the vehicle passed over his head and back. The horses,
after running along the road with considerable speed,
were stopped without doing any further damage, with
the exception that the passengers were terribly alarmed,
and one gentleman jumped off the box, but fortunately
£ soup d without receiving any injury. The deceased
was picked up in a state of insensibility. Mr. Hammond,
a surgeon, attended, and prononnced life to be quite ex-
tinct, and said there was no doubt he was killed oa the
spot. Verdict—Accidental Death.

foreign policy which I directed at tile commencement
of the It -•public, pretended that I had said in the
Committee of the Constituent Assembly, ' I will
ruin or compromise Charles Albert: Such conduct
would have been as odious and as anti-Italian as
anti-French. I was misunderstood, for it is the very op-
posite which I said and did. I interdicted out egews, I
intedicted myself, to have a single thought, a single gee-
ture, of a nature to urge Charles Albert to a war, in order
that France should not be responsible fur a war under-
taken on her incitation!. Consult the amba.sadors, dis-
patches, agents, M.Bixio, M. Bois• le Comte, the Sardinian
Government itself. I said when the war was commenced
without our participation—' Let us form the army of the
Alps; it will remain motionless as long as we shall have
neither danger nor right in the question. It will pass
the Alps; it will protect Pied montese; it will become
cn aimed mediatio❑ in one of the two cases—the first, it

Judy calls on us; the second, if Charles Albert is con-
quered, and Piedmont, the Lulwark ot France, is invaded.'
'I he first case was not verified; I aly (Ld not call on us,
but the contrary. The second case was vet ilied; Charles
Albert was conquered. Piedmont 'was invaded. The
army of the Alps did not advance to succour Charles
Albert and his kingdom, it is true; but I was no longrr
in the Government. I declared twice in the tribune
that I would have marched. The Provisional Govern-
ment, the Executive Committee, and the Generals
kr.ow it. Such is the truth. You perceive, Monsieur,
that there is a great difference between that and
the Machiavellian system of ruining and compro-
niLing an adventurous, unfortunate, and brave Prince,
whom the Republic could not either urge to war without
P 9
eititly or aid in spite of himself without pretext, cr
abandon after his reverses without danger for our fron-
tiers and our cause. Had I said what the interruption
attributes to me, I should be not only the lowest of
diplomatists, but the most thoroughly deprived of proper
feeling.-1 have the honour to be, &c.,
