against the act, she could not be heard in vain.—(Cheers.)
The Learned Gentleman, after referring to the events of the
last great war in Europe, reminded the meeting that a claim
had been made by Russia upon Holland. The question was,
who could bear the burden? for the Dutch were weak.
Britain, was the reply.—(Great laughter.) Britain, of
course, had had no expense during that war ; she
had made herself sovereign of the seas by nothing
Of course ; but Britain was called upon to refund to the
Dutch creditors the loan of 25,000,000 florins borrowed by
the Emperor of Russia, and she did that by a payment
annually of 5 per cent., and 1 per cent. sinking fund. These
25,000,000 florins were equal to about 2,000,0001., and the
interest they had still to pay for Russia amounted to
something like 120,0001.—(Hear, and cries of " Shame.)
Another convention was agreed to between England and
Russia in 1831, when the separation of Belgium from
Holland was recognised, and the latter end of that
convention stipulated the continuance of the 120,000/.
yearly, partly on the ground of that stipulation be-
ing maintained, but much more that the Treaty of
Vienna should be observed in respecting the independence
of the republic of Cracow.—( Hear, hear.) But, Cracow was
now no more—it has been destroyed by agreement between
Russia and the other two Powers, and now formed part
of Austria.—(Cries of "Shame, shame.") He trusted
that the men of England were prepared, heart and
hand to uphold their Sovereign, whose words from the
Throne on the first day of the session, he was sure, spoke
the sentiments of every Englishman.—(Great cheering.)
The Learned Gentleman sat down, by seconding the follow-
ing resolution :

That as the tranquility and prosperity of all communi •
ties, whether of nations or of individuals, depend on the main-
tenance of justice, the repression of violence and the fulfil-
ment of engagements; and as, on the contrary, tranquility
and prosperity are endangered when the weak are abandoned
to the mercy of the strong, when sacred rights and duties
are permitted to be violated, and solemn obligations to be
disregarded, therefore this meeting views with no
less alarm than indignation, the measures adopted by
the governments of Russia, Austria and Prussia towards
Cracow, and the other provinces of ancient Poland, believing
that such measures are not only in themselves, in the highest
degree, unjust and impolitic, but that they directly tend to
weaken respect for treaties, to retard the progress of civilisa-
tion, to encourage the projects of ambition, to strengthen the
enemies of order, and to endanger the peace of Europe."
" The NOBLE CHAIRMAN put the resolution to the meeting,
and it was carried amidst immense cheering, the whole
meeting standing.
Mr. D. URQUHART moved the fourth resolution, which was
to the effect that the meeting rejoiced in the sympathy of the
Ottoman Government, which had on this as on former oc-
casions, Joined in the condemnation of this gross injustice ;
and in a very eloquent speech, pointed out the instances
where these sympathies bad qeen manifested in former times.
Sir H VERNEY s eonded the resolution, in a speech that
was tke ired with great enthusiasm.
The fifth resolution, which was expressive of the belief
that if the intcnte cordia e between France and England had
not been broken, the three Powers would never have at-
tempted to commit this aggression, was moved by the Lord
Mayor (Sir G. Carroll), and seconded, in a speech of much
power, by Mr. Beales.
The sixth resolution, which was for the adoption of an ad-
dress to the Queen, for the promotion of the objects of the
meeting; and the next, which was moved by Captain L. Ja-
blfriski, and seconded by Lord Dudley Stuart, returned the
thanks of the meeting to the Marquis of Northampton, in the
chair, after which the meeting separated:being only interrupted
by a fracas occasioned by an assault committed by Mr.
Beniowski (as we understood) upon Mr. Harcourt, but the
principle of which, as explained by the Chevalier Wiercinski,
had nothing whatever to do with the principle of the meeting

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of March 2.)
SUGAR.—To-day importers of Sugar were desirous to
realise, and abundantly supplying the market, caused a fur-
ther fall in the value of all sorts, notwithstanding the demand
was good for East India and Mauritius for the pan and scale ;
but for brewing and distilling there are yet few operators.
The market for West India had a dull appearance, all quali-
ties being purchased with much caution.
FOREIGN.—The stock has been further increased of Foreign
Sugar, and merchants being willing sellers of the descrip-
tions available for home consumption, and supplying the
market largely, produced a fall in the value of all descrptions.
The demand, however, has been good, and the parcels offered
at auction were all sold, chiefly consisting of the better de-
scriptions. The importation of all sorts is likely to be much
greater than last year, and the quality of that already re-
ceived is better than that of the past season.
REFINID.—To-day Refined goods met with little attention
from the home trade, although there are sellers upon further
reduced terms. The refiners are generally anxious Alen.
For Bonded Crushed Sugar there is a large export demand,
and it is difficult to purchase best quality under 36s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon two parcels of Mauritius
Sugar, amounting to 16,126 bags, were offered at public auc-
tion, the chief part of which consisted of bright grocery de-
scriptions. The whole sold, at a reduction on former rates of
Is per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Madras sugar was not much
in demand, and 4,419 bags at auction were only partly sold
at a fall on former rates of is. _ _ _

MOLASSRS.—For West India the demand has been limited
for all descriptions. The value of low to fine quality is 22s
to 26s per cwt. A small parcel of good St. Kitts sold at
24s 6d. East Ineia Treacle is dull of sale, and 24s to 25s
are the nearest rates. Honey is cffered upon reduced terms.
COFFEE.—This afternoon at auction 10 casks Jamaica sold
at 65s for low middling; 331 begs of Plantation Ceylon, floe
fine ordinal.), 60s to 655, fine ordinary 56s to 58s, ordinary
45e, low ordinary 41s 6d, triage 24s 6d ; 101 bags Costa Rica
36s for good ordinary, and 45s for fine ordinary. By private
treaty there was less desire evinced to operate in Native
Ceylon ; but there are not sellers under 43s for good ordinary,
and only a small amount of business was done.
TEA.—There vre further anivals, consisting chiefly of the
better descriptions, still none his again been submitted to
public sale; the stock is not so heavy as it w(' at this time
last year, whilst the deliveries are much larger of all sorts.
The town and country trade hold smell stock-, rotwithstana-
ing the large purchases made by them of late. Congou is
not offered upon lower terms, but the demand has fallen off
for all sorts, and only a limited business has been done.
FRUIT —For export to Holland a good business ' has been
done in Currants at 52s for &rite, and the market has a
firmer appearance.
Hors.—The operations have been upon a more extended
scale, especially in the better sorts. Holders show filmne:s,
and offer only a moderate quantity for sale. We quote Sussex
pkts at 78s to 88s, Weald of Kent 86s to 985, mid, and East
ditto 95s to 136 s per cwt.
RICE.—To-day Bengal met with little attention privately
and 1,176 bags at auction only partly sold at 24s for good
bold white, and at 22a to 23s fur damaged, which is the
former value
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 18 casks Dutch limed Nut-
megs for exportation only were in part sold at 35 2d to 3s 3d
for bold, which is the full value; 16 casks of various sorts
for home consumption were offered, and chiefly taken in—
Madras wormy at is 6d, Singapore middling brown 3s. to
3s. 2d, fair middling 3s 4d: 1 case Mace sold at 3s 7d for
middling red.
COCHINEAL.—AII descriptions are much in demand, and

the rates paid are rather above those that existed previously.
The deliveries are far exceeding those of last year, whilst the
stock is less; at public sale 118 bags of Honduras were all
disposed of at 5s 7d to 6s for good ordinary to tine silvers, and
7 bags of black at Gs 8d to 7s ld per lb.
SPIRITS.—To-day there were sellers of all descriptions of
Rum upon lower terms, still exporters and the home trade
operated with caution ; proof Leewards can be obtained at 3s
9d to 3s 10d ; East India 3s 5d to 3s 6d ; and Jamaica 30
to 38 per cent ; over proof at 5s to 6s per gallon. The sup-
ply is on the increase of East India.
Otris.—There has been an increased desire manifested to
operate in Cocoa Nut Oil, and prices have improved. Holders
of Palm are still willing sellers, but submit to rather lower
rates. In Rape Seed Oil large purchases have been made,

a further improvemant in prices has taken place. Cod met
with little attention, and there are sellers at 271 to 271 5s per
tun. For Seal the market is in a dull state. Fur Southern
further reduced rates have been taken. Sperm is little
wanted, and holders are desirous to sell. Eard Cil is in fair
demand, and 44s to 505 are paid for low to fine quality.
TALLOW.—Russian has been in excellent request on the
spot, and a slight improvement again occurred. For delivery
in the last three months of the year a good business has bean
iransacted at 45s to 45s 6d. Home-made is worth 50s to
50s 6d nett cash, at which many parcels have been sold.
Other sorts of Tallow are wanted, and prices are improving.

LAW OF SETTLENIENT.
The Duke of RICHMOND, after
gs
presenting a petition from
the guardians of the poor of Hastings, •
, praying their
Lordships to repeal the Law of Settlement of last
session, and that the poor might be supported by a
national rate, on real as well as personal property, proceeded to
move the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the opera-
tion of the law. As he believed no objection would be offered
to the motion, he should but briefly advert to the reasons
by which he was actuated in making it. Few agreed with
respect to the real object of the measure, and the
Attorney and Solicitor-General had put a different construc-
tion on the Bill to the one put by those who framed it. Some
said that it was of a retrospective character whilst others enter-
tained a different opinion. Thus great complexity bad been
introduced, and as many of the quarter sessions had
decided against the opinion of these Learned Gentlemen great
litigation had been the result, and would, no doubt, continue
until an alteration took place. Even the auditor of a union,
if he entertained a different opinion, might disallow relief;
and the question would have to be removed from the quarter
sessions by certiorari in the Queen's Bench, but owing
to the great arrears of business great delays
would take place in deciding particular cases.—(Hear.)
The Bill was unjust to the rate-payers, and most pre-
judicial to the poor, as they had no definite opinion as to what
place really was their settlement, so much difference of
opinion prevailed. The measure was one of those !rattily
introduced at the close of the session, and passed when
many of their Lordships were out of town. As the Act had
worked most injuriously he thought it was right that
the matter should be inquired into by a Committee.
The ground upon which he rested his motion was the one
universal feeling expressed by all parties, that some change
was necessary. The Government, if they did not repeal the
law, ought at all events to bring in a declaratory law, declaring
what the state of the law really was. It was not necessary to
go further into the merits of the question, as the Noble Lord
had intimated his intention of not opposing the motion.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the Noble
Duke had made a very good Parliamentary case
in support of his motion. It could not be dis-
puted but that very great abuses and disputes had arisen re-
specting the operation of the law. A committee of the Lower
House had been appointed, who had made a special report upon
the subject; and be would put it to the Nob:e Lord whether
he would not postpone his motion until they had time to see
what steps would be taken in accordance with that report.
Lord BROUGHAM said that there was no doubt that the
Act had been framed very carelessly, and when. their Lord-
ships looked to the Act, they would not be:surprised that it was
so ; he found that it was passed on the 26th day of August last.
Now, for the 14 days previous to that date, their Lordships were
very little inclined to pay attention to pauper removal from
parish to parish, being engaged in a totally different descrip.
tion of removal—namely, to their caun'ry seats or to
the Continent —( Hear, hear.) Ho would observe that none
of the petitions prayed for a total repeal of the law. They
only sought an alteration in the law, which in fact was neces-
sary to make it tolerable, which it was not in its present state.
He had often complained of this careless legislation. He
found that out of five hundred and ninety laws, which had
been the sum of their legislative labour during last session,
the greater portion of them had been passed subsequent to
this, which had been so justly complained of. The opinion
of Mr. Hill had been taken upon the conduct of the
Poor-law Commissioners, and he gave his answer
upon the case as it was put before him. The
The Noble Lord (Lord Lyndhurst) and he were of the same
opinion with Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill gave an opinion upon a case
stated to him, but the slightest difference in facts might have
totally altered that opinion. Mr. Hill had not the slightest
idea that that opinion would be made public, for aught he
knew the case might have been submitted by the Poor-law
Commissioners themselves; indeed, he (Lord Brougham) was
not sure that it was not. But it was stated that
Mr. Hill had taken a great deal upon him in this
case. Why, he only gave an answer to the
question put to him, and he could not see that any man could
do less. Btst )Ir. Hill, when Member for Hull, in 1833, was
