NOVEMBER 1, 1851-.-'l'..""n"
7,


of the borough of Marylebone, in public meeting as-
sembled, deeply impressed with the importance of the
principle, now more than with any other identified with
your name, and in the full conviction of the worthy man-
ner in which you have represented the cause et your
noble fellow-countrymen, and, through them, the cause
of human progress throughout the world, beg most re-
spectfully to offer you our warm congratulations on your
arrival, after the perils:you have so nobly passed through,
in safety upon our shores.
" We had long watched with intense anxiety the pro-
gress of the struggle so gallantly maintained under your
direction. With much that was necessarily vague in
the state of information respecting the institutions of a
country remote from us by distance, and remoter still
in consequence of the artificial barriers created by sys-
tems of government equally opposed to our institutions
and to yours. we, nevertheless, knew that the contest on
the part of Hungary was for the maintenance, and not
the destruction of a constitution; that not n party
merely, but a nation was in arms; that the rising of the
country was neither the result of anarchical aims on the
part of the masses, nor of oppressive encroachments on
that of the aristocracy, but that it was the constitu-
tional resistance of a whole people to a grinding foreign
tyranny. And enjoying, as we do in this country, the
blessings of constitutional freedom—the rich inheritance
bequeathed to us by our ancestors—we felt that, if ail
other nations looked on in indifference, from England,
at all events, Hungary was entitled to this deepest sym-
pathy.
" Unspeakable was the gratification we felt at the va-
rious successes of llungary until she fairly won that in-
dependence which, but for the subsequent interference of
a third Power, she would now enjoy. Words are week
to express the feelings with which we regarded the
events which followed ; and, therefore, with the simple
expression of our indignation at acts on the part of
Austria and Russia from which -humanity revolts, and
which civilized Europe must for serer condemn, and
deeply condoling with you, Sir, for the loss of those
gallant spirits who fell during and after the conclusion
of the strife, we leave this painful subject. We hope
for the future rather than waste unavailing regrets upon
the past. And firmly convinced as we are of the im-
portance of the principle of non-intervention in the affairs
of other countries, we hope and trust that, in any future
struggle of this kind, England will not only observe,
but will also have the will, as we doubt not she has the
power, to enforce it.
" Having identified your name with the cause of your
country, we feel no doubt but that your own noble heart
will be most gratified with the expression of such senti-
ments as give promise for the future. The race of the
Magyar has achieved greatness, and would win back
freedom once more. But we cannot refrain from ex•
pressing our admiration at the indomitable energy, the
undying zeal, the perfect uprightnets, moderation, and
humanity which you, the greatest of its leaders, have
opposed to all that is barbarous and rude—to all
that is cowardly and cruel—to all the low cun-
ning and foul treachery of those who have called them-
selves ' the friends of order.' We, too, have -earned
that title, which these very men dare not deny to us.
The assembled world has witnessed and borne testimony
to the fact, though the jealous fears of the enemies of
your country did not permit you, Sir, to be a spetator of,
or a sharer in, the peaceful festival of nations lately held
in this metropolis. And if wo regret the less your
absence during that time, it is because it is rendered
more evident that the welcome you now receive is a
hearty English welcome; that the real friends of order
are friends of liberty; and, though English tongues bo
not over garrulous, that true, big, swelling hearts beat
in English breasts.
" May the overruling Providence preserve you to see
Hungary independent—glorious she is already—hippy,
and free. Henceforth may wo be to each other as bro-
thers, as sworn friends; and till the time shall arrive—
which we hope may not be far distant—when you shall
once more be called to direct the councils of your coun-
try, may you and yours find in England a congenial
home."

Mr. MITCHELL, of Oxford-street, seconded the
motion, which was carried unanimously.
Sir BENJAMIN HALL then addressed the meeting,
and was received with great cheering. Ile said he
had attended the meeting, not because he thought he
could add dignity or character to it, but because it
was right and respectful that those who held the post
which he did should come to learn the opinions and
wishes of their representatives.—(Cheers.) There
was one event in connexion with the arrival of
Kossuth for which he was not prepared—he was not
prepared to find a man who had lately been an exile
himself, and who was now the President of what was
called a republic—(Cheers)—adding the last insult
to injury by refusing the unfortunate exile a free
passage through his country towards our shores.—
(Cheers.) That man talked of honour, and yet he
kept Abd-el-Kader in prison—he talked of liberty,
and yet he kept an army at Rome—(Cheers)—to put
down liberty, and to keep up spiritual control and
Jesuitical influence.—(Loud cheers.) It was that
influence that guided both the Emperor of Austria
and the President of France. Still he believed they
ought carefully to distinguish between the Govern-
ment and the people ; and as the election of President
occurred next May, he hoped the people of France
would show their President how much they repu-
diated his acts.—(Cheers.) lie agreed with his col-
league in attributing the principal merit of Kossuth's
safety to the Noble Secretary for Foreign Af-
fairs ; for he contended that, however much
the great Prince who sheltered Kossuth might
have been anxious to continue his shelter, he might
not have been able to carry out his wishes, if he
had not been so nobly backed by the Noble Lord,
and afterwards by the Government of the United
States. With respect to the doctrine of non-interven-

tion, he agreed with the principles which Kossuth
had laid down. Let each nation settle their own
affairs ; but if any nation interfered, he hoped the free
nations of Europe and America would interpose to
prevent such interference. Let them turn the Aus-
trian and the French army out of the Roman States,
and leave the people themselves to get quit of the cc-
clesiastical domination, which was a curse to the
country, and let them establish that civil freedom for
which they struggled, and in which they would have
triumphed had it not been for the intervention of that
man who, with liberty on his lips, put down liberty
in the States of Rome.—(Cheers.)
Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, M.P., also shortly ad-
dressed the meeting in favour of Kossuth, and com-
plained of the absence of the higher and the moneyed
classes from these demonstrations, which, he said,
was owing to the higher classes being in their hearts
sympathisers with despotism, and to the capitalists
holding bonds in the state loans of these Governments.
The resolution was then agreed to unanimously.
Mr. COOPER, solicitor, after some eulogistic re-
marks on Lord Palmerston, moved the following re-
solution :—" That the warmest thanks of this meeting
are eminently due, and are hereby respectfully ten-
dered to the Right lion. Lord Palmerston, her Ma-
jesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, for his strenuous and high-minded efforts to
procure the liberation of Louis Kossuth."
Mr. BAKER, churchwarden of St. Pancras, seconded
the resolution, which was also carried.

The following address to the Sultan was moved by
Mr. BEALES, and seconded by Mr. SODEN, and carried
unanimously :

" TO HIS MAJESTY THE hULTIN OF TURKEY.

" Sire,—We, the inhabitants of the borough of Mary-
lbone in public meeting assembled, respectfully bog
leave to convey to your Majesty the expression of our
warm and heartfelt admiration for the noble spirit of
humanity and inherent sentiment of liberty which
prompted you to give freedom to the illustrious Kossuth.

The world at large, or such of the world as can appre-
ciate the inestimable blessings which flow from constitu-
tional liberty, and who have shared in the happiness and
prosperity which spring from free institutions, will ap-
preciate this noble act on the part of your Majesty as
the brightest jewel in your Majesty's diadem, or in the
language of our own immortal poet, becoming the
throned monarch bettor than his crown.'
"Christian princes, the leading principle of whose
creed is charity, will do well to learn from this example

of your Majesty lessons of humanity and brotherly love,
and coming as it does from a monarch with whom and
whose country England has been long on terms of the
most cordial amity, we hail it as an additional do to
bind us still closer in the bonds of friendship and mu-
tual good understanding. Accept, Siro, the expression
of our earnest prayers for the continued glory and pro-
gressive greatness of Turkey. May your Majesty long
continue to reign in the hearts of your subjects, and as
you grow in years may you grow in the affection of your
people, and the admiration of the world."
Thanks were then voted to the two Members for the
borough for their attendance, after which the meeting
separated.

not trust himself in the crowd, in a public wtcaotLre
position.
The deputation knew that the Austrian Government
was no friend of his at any time, and the noble en-
thusiasm displayed by the English people since his
arrival amongst them had not at all strengthened that,'
friendship. The spies of Austria stood around him;
a guard invisible on every side, and it would not be
safe to trust himself in a crowd amongst them. He
did not know exactly how he stool with the people of
England, who had doubtless a certain policy as a

for which I come here ; you have your business,
I have mine. He concluded by repeating that be had
pledged himself to the Government of this country
not to interfere in its party questions, and was resolved
to adhere to that pledge. He placed no value on his
life ; but he valued before all things his honour. Ile
did not fear death ; but wherever he might pilgrimage
his honour must accompany him.
Some conversation follow(d the delivery of the
above report ; after which the following resolution
was unanimously carried :—" That this committee
pledges itself to resist any attempt which might
have a tendency to give a sectional or party charac-
ter to the demonstration which it has been appointed
to organise and conduct on behalf of public bodies
comprising men of all shades of opinion in English
politics."
It will be remembered that Kossuth, in agreeing
to a public presentation of the address, declined to
accept a public banquet. The committee, however,
in compliance with the expressed desire of many of
the bodies which they represent, have decided upon
holding a public banquet, on the evening of Monday
next, at Highbury Barn, in connexion with the
demonstration, at which, of course, Kossuth is not
expected, nor, in compliance with his implied wishes,
will he be invited to attend.

The Police Commissioners have been communicated
with, with the view of directing their attention to
the line of route laid down for the procession, which
will form in Russell-square, at eleven o'clock, on
Monday, and proceed by Keppell-street, Store-street,
and Tottenham Court-road, the Hampstead-road,
High-street, Camden-town, and the Camden-road, to
Copenhagen-house.

KOSSUTH FUND.
TO THE ED1T01? OF THE SUN.

Ssn,—'Will you oblige me by acquainting the public,
through your columns, that an association is in pro-
cess of formation for the purpose of giving a practical
bent to the sympathies expressed in the cause of Hun-
gary, assisting Kossuth in making known the true
condition and prospects of Hungary and Easteru
Europe, and of conveying to those countries a know-
ledge of the state and progress of public opinion in
the west, by which their emancipation may be for-
warded and achieved.

The names of the members of the committee, and
the rules of the association, will be shortly published ;
but in the meanwhile it is proposed to place at Kos-
auth's disposal the means of prosecuting the object
which be has in view, by inviting those who were
anxious to subscribe towards a personal testimonial
(which he declines) to turn their contribution, large
or small, into this channel. As temporary treasurer I
shall be happy to receive such contributions, together
with communications from those disposed to join the
proposed association or to devote their exertions to
forwarding its object.

enment will pervade almost eves community,-and
when liberal and refined accomplishments shall distin-
guish every family.—(Loud cheers.) What I want
ypu to feel—what I want you all, if any of you here
have not joined it—what I want you all to join such
an institution as this for, is to make you feel
how much each of you singly may do to aid this great
-constsmmation.—(Cheers ) I know that the enemies
of mechanics' institutes and of popular institutions
generally have been apt to say that they have a
tendepey to make the mechanics and working men,
whom especially they are intended to benefit, apuffed,
presumptuous, conceited, and discontented. All I
can say is, that if they do so, they fail singul rly in
their purpose, and fall full short of their aim. It ap-
-pears to the that there are two principles upon which
we must mainly rely for success in any attempts to
raise and regenerate mankind. The one is to have a
very high opinion ofastat we can do, the height to
which we can soird.ila advance in knowledge and in
virtue which we etutradake—that is ambition as con-
cerns our capacitig. The other is to have a mean
opinion of eyhat we-at anytime know, or at any time

as ionse persons do--.of preaching
even while I would invite them to
welfare and progress of the great body my coun-
trymen, flint I cannot refrain from enjoining n•them,
of all the rich resources and all the innocejnoty
plea-
sures of this our variegated world, never to
lose
hold of religion. I do not mean that you should
necessarily associate with those stiff and narrowed
persons who so confine the ethereal spirit of religion ;
but 1 feel assured that it is the source among man-
kind of all that is great and lovely, and that without
it all would be painful and joyless. Under her
sacred wing you may securely resign yourselves to
all that is improving in knowledge, or instructing in
science, or captivating in art, or beautiful in nature.
The Architect of the Universe, the Author of Being,
such as .Christianity represents Him, cannot but ap-
prove of every creature that He has made developing
to the utmost extent the faculties He has given him,
and examining, in all its depth and mystery, every
work of His hand. Shut up the page of knowledge
and the sources of enjoyment from the multitude
because some have occasionally abused the blessed
privilege! Why, the very same argument would
consign every man and woman to a cloister, because
the world and active life are full of traps and pitfalls.
—(Hear.) No. Pre-eminent and supreme as lam
convinced religion is, yet to make her so in the con-
victions and hearts of men, I feel
she must discard
all timidity—must front every truth in the full blaze
of light, and sympathize with every pursuit
and every impulse of the race. I may thus
briefly shadow my reasons for thinking why
no person ought to frown upon mechanics' in-
stitutions. I do not wish to attribute to them any
exaggerated or imaginary value—l do not hold them
forth as singly containing the elements with which
we should hope to regenerate modern society, but it
is because I believe them calculated happily to chime
in with the existing wants and prevailing dispositions
of the times—to afford opportunities for improvement
and development in quarters where they would not
otherwise be found—to promote innocent recreation
and blameless amusements, and generally to assist the
progress of mankind. It is on these accounts that I
thus venture to recommend them to your cordial
sympathy and your active assistance ; and, with this
hope, I will conclude by moving " That me-
chanics' institutions, having for their object the ad-
vancement of the people in solid and useful education,
deserve the support of all classes interested in the
aawfbu.altlemriight
be
welfare of their common country."
After some more speeches, the motion was unani-
mously carried, and the proceedings terminated by a
ball.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTION SOIREE AT
LINCOLN.
The fifth annual meeting of the Midland Counties
Association of Mechanics' and Literary Institutions
took place on Tuesday at Lincoln, and was comme-
morated, after the transaction of the ordinary routine
business, by a dinner and a soiree. The Right Hon.
the Earl of Yarborough presided on both occasions,
and among those present were the Earl of Carlisle,
the Hon. W. Monson, the Hon. A. L. Melville, the
Mayor of Lincoln, the Rev. E. R. Larken (president
elect), Mr. George Dawson, of Birmingham, Mr. G.
Smallfield, of Leicester (secretary of the association),
the Rev. Mr. Metcalf, Dr. Cammack, &c. The soirée,
at which upwards of 500 persons were present, was
held in the Corn• Exchange.
The Noble CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings,
drew the attention of the meeting to the project set on
foot by the committee of the Mechanics' Institute of
Lincoln, who purpose to erect a new building of such
an extent as to allow the formation of an ample
library, class-rooms, a ball, and a museum. After
expressing the hope that this project would be shortly
realised, the Noble Lord called upon
The Earl of CARLISLE, who, when the loud accla-
mations by which he was saluted had subsided, spoke
as follows :—You have heard, ladies and gentlemen,
that I have been named to move the first resolution,
which I find runs thus—" That mechanics' institu-
tions, having for their object the advancement of
the people in solid and useful education, deserve the
support of all classes interested in the welfare of their
common country." I find everything in the terms of
that resolution to justify my recommending it to your
cordial acceptance.—(Hear, hear.) But, in offering
a few brief observations in support of it, I feel that I
ought to set out by making some sort of excuse to
you for appearing here at all. It always seems to
me upon such occasions as the present, that, except
indeed in the neighbouring county of York, where I
have got into the habit of doing as I am bid—
(Laughter)—l have no business to meddle with the
concerns of other people. But, after all, it is not
such a long way across the Humber, and, on this oc-
casion, I have acted under the special command of
my excellent neighbour, the Earl of Yarborough.—
(Loud cheers.) I know that he has performed the
same good turns for the towns, I believe, both of
Hull and of Sheffield—(Bear)—and I should be sorry
to appear wanting in reciprocating any such neigh-
bourly disposition.—(Cheers.) I feel, over and above
all those local considerations, that the cause of me-
chanics institutions is such as to justify any co-
operation, no matter how inefficient the person, or
however remote his dwelling.—(Loud cheers.) I must
not forget, too, that I am a member of the Yorkshire
Union of Mechanics' Institutions—an association
which, we think in that county, has been of very con-
siderable use in fostering the success of the institutions
which are scattered within its borders. We under-
stand that now for three or four years past the mid-
land districts of our fair England have been desirous
of being put under a system of equal efficiency and
energy, and I feel that I may appear here once more
as the representative of my old Yorkshire friends, to
assure you that they heartily wish you success—
(Cheers)—and, if I know aright the feelings of those
who have interested themselves in this cause, I am
sure that they would hear of your complete success—
even of your surpassing their own—with no other
feeling but that of unalloyed satisfaction. And why
should they not ? England is no longer under the
lleptarchy. The Humber, to which I have already
referred, and " the smooth and silvery Trent," as the
world-wide poet (Shakspere) calls it, no longer e
di-
vides hostile and jealous regions. We m y

(Loud applause.) But, as I have
e
object which brings us together to-nightis not a local
one; it is scarcely a national one; it is a cosmopoli-
tan one—(Cheers)—for it aims at the progress of
mankind and the advance of our species. Therefore,
addressing you midlanders, I say you are quite wel-
come to beat us of Yorkshire if you can.—(Laughter.)
If you fall short of us we shall be willing to teach ;
and if you excel us, we shall be, I trust, docile to
learn.—(Renewed laughter.) There is no place from
which one ought not to be content to pick up what is
'audible and good. Why, when we look at the aspect
of the midnight heavens, we are not so much struck
with them when it is only a single star that twinkles
athwart the gloom, but we feel most the beauty
and
the brightness when all the boundless heavens are
crowded with light, and when the stars, which may
singly exceed each other in glory, coheers.
llectkively serve to
show and set forth each other. —(Cheers.

OWEN GLENDOWER.

On Thursday a meeting of the committee of the
Royal National Institution for the Preservation of
Life from Shipwreck was held at the offices, No. 20,
John-street, Adelphi ; Thomas Wilson, Esq., late
M.P. for the city of London, in the chair, supported
by Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, R.N., Surveyor to
the Navy, Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, R.N.,
Captain Davies, R.N., of Penzance, Captain Jerning-
ham, R.N. (who had come up expressly from Ports-
mouth to attend the committee), Lieutenant-Colonel
Colquhoun, R.A., Captains Ellerby, Perrott, and
Preston, and James Peak; Esq., Royal Dockyard,
Woolwich.
After reading the minutes of the former meeting,
sanctioning the establishment of life-boats, &c., at
Penzance, Sennen Cove, Bride Haven, and St. Ives
(involving an outlay of some hundreds a pounds,
and which makes the total number of life-boats be-
longing to the society '24), it was unanimously re-
solved, " That in appreciation of the humanity of
Captain Hein, of the Russian barque John, and of
the gallantry of Thomas Larkin, his mate,. on the
occasion of the late wreck of the yacht Owen Glen-
dower, off the Arran Islands, they be presented re-
spectively with the silver medal of the institution ;
and that the five men who accompanied Larkin in the
ship's long-boat in going to the rescue of the owner
and crew of the yacht, be rewarded with one sovereign
each."

The silver medal of the institution was also voted
to Richard Pearce, Esq., of Penzance, for his former
frequent valorous and perilous intrepidity in the
rescue of numerous lives from shipwreck on the coast
of Cornwall.
To William Hood, captain of the Seaton Carew
life-boat, the silver medal of the society was likewise
voted, in appreciation of his noble conduct in having
gone off to wrecks in the boat on 32 occasions, and
rescuing with his crew 120 shipwrecked pasons
since the first establishment of the boat in 1823.
Hood, also, receives a pecuniary reward from the
local committee every time of going afloat in the life-
boat to save life.

We understand that the institution, as soon as its
funds will allow it (and we regret to gret to learn that its
income is greatly inadequate for
philanthropic
objects), contemplates placing either a life boat or a
life-preserving apparatus on all the dangerous points
of the coast. During tbrce days alone of the latter
part of last month 98 shipwrecks took place on dif-
ferent parts of the coast !

NEW ZEALAND COMPANY.—An adjourned general
meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yester.
day afternoon at New Zealand House, New Broad-street, Mr.
G. ',yell presiding in the absence of Mr. Aglionby, M.Y.
The usual formal notice having been read, the chairman said
that the reason of these constant adjournments was to avoid
the expensive process of convening a special meeting every
time. The directors were now endeavouring to come to
some final arrangement with the Canterbury Association and
their creditors, but at present the negotiations were not suf-
nthexint

was so dreadfully obstinate that it defied the skill of eminent
medical men to abate its malignity. When in its worst state

soon produced favourable appearances, and by persevering in
their use for a short period she can now boast of a sound cure.
