Austrians."
Contrast this manly language with the , retched
whining last night in the House of Lords of the
Duke of Rutland, who, painfullylabouring through
the latter history of the Italian question, actually
.thought he was convicting Count Cavour of some
crime when, quoting from the Blue-book, he showed
that the Sardinian Premier brought home to the
Austrian Government the charge of violating in
his countrS;.the great principles of equity and jus-
tice on which social order rests. What can be
more revolutionary than the doctrine laid down by
the same Peer, that the King of Sardinia reigns
only by' the Treaty of 1815 ? It was indeed the
pretension of the three Powers which dominated
the decisions of the Congress of Vienna to ignore
history and deny national rights, so that, the
ground being cleared, they might figure in history
as the creators of a new order of things. The
" wishes of the principal Powers of Europe" were

when it was first exposed. " Their will," said the
eloquent Mackintosh, speaking of the Powers which
governed the decisions of the Congress, "Is the sole
title to dominion—the universal tenure of sove-
reignty. They agree that Switzerland shall govern
herself; that Germany shall have a federal consti-
tution ; that unhappy Italy shall, as they say, be
composed of sovereign States. All is by grant of
these Lords Paramount. Every restored State is
restored as their vassal. A single acre granted on
such a principle is, in truth, the signal of a mon-
strous revolution in Europe." Let the Duke of
Rutland be assured that there are national rights
in Piedmont older and more sacred than the treaty
of Vienna. The King of Sardinia's true titlesis the
devoted attachment of a people whO have n all
ages been distinguished foz loyalty. It is strange
than an hereditary Peer, who piques himself on his
Conservatism, should take pleasure in ignoring the
title of one of the most ancient reigning houses in
Europe, and adopting the language of usurpers
and plunderers.
Lord Elcho in the House of Commons, and Lord
Stratford in the House of Lords, have given notice
of motions upon which the affairs of Italy will pro-
bably receive a full discussion. Nothing can be
more useful. We trust that no efforts may be made
to thwart the intentions of those noble lords, or
that being made, they will not succeed.—Dai/g

proved that they had no wish pertinaciously to
adhere.
" As matters stand, however, there is no likeli-
hood of inducing the contending parties to have re-
course to mediation before trying the chances of war.
" You will not, however, disguise from Prince
Gortschakoff that the report of an alliance having
been concluded between France and. Russia, which
will bring the latter into the field against Austria
within a few days has made a very unfavourable
impression in this country; and it is of the utmost
importance, if no such alliance has been entered
into, that you should be formally and officially
enabled, by Prince Gortschakoff, to deny its exist-

CRYSTAL PALACE.

9,780,915
2,C00,000

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel, South-
wark, Mr. F trquhar in the chair.
The Secretary having read the notice convening
the meeting, the report, an abstact of which has
appeared in The Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN said, it had been decided at the
last meeting that the accounts of the company
should in future be made up annually to the 30th
of October, and at the December meeting the divi-
dend would be declared. He thought it a wise
policy to do. so, and not to attempt to make up the
accounts half-yearly to the 30th of April, because
such a course was liable to considerable misappre-
hension, and shareholders could not form any idea
in the first half what the second" half would pro-
duce. He thought he could safely state that the
result of the year's working would be satisfactory
to them. With regard to the lath Handel Festival
the accounts had been just made up, and the result
showed a net balance in favour of the company of
between £12,000 and £13,000. (Cheers.) He did
not wish to speculate on the amount of dividend
they were likely to have at the end of the year, nor
did he wish them to speculate on what it would
be ; at the same time he thought theamountavould
be satisfactory. In connexion with the Festival
they were deeply indebted to Mr. Costa for his in-
defatigable zeal in the management of that great
undertaking. (Cheers.) There were two vacancies
at the board, caused by the retirement of Mr. D.
Seytmour and Captain Walter. The • number of
their board would be ten, and he found from the
list of attendances at the board meetings that they
averaged between nine and ten members. The late
committee of shareholders had recommended that
the number of directors should be 12, It was not
easy to get gentlemen to undertake the anxiety and
responsibility of managing the affairs of that com-
pany. The original number of directors was eight,
the committee had recommended 12, and the num-
ber now stood at ten. The question was whether
they would now be satisfied with that number.
Mr. SLACK objected to the paragraph in the
report which related to the number of directors. He
thought it would be better to have 9 than 11 direc-
tors. He then, at considerable length, found fault
with the management, complained that a proper
supervision did not exist over every department,
and indulged freely in several personal observations
amid considerable uproar. He concluded by mov-
ing an amendment to the effect that the report be
adopted with the exception of the clause relating
to the isecommendation not to fill up the vacancies
in the direction.
Mr. PUNCHER seconded the amendment.
The CHAIRMAN said he had no objection to omit
the clause referred to in the adoption of the report.
A considerable time was occupied in replying to
the personal observations made by Mr. Slack, and
which appeared to cause considerable amusement.
Mr. PUNCHER said they ought to feel much
obliged to Mr. Slack for the observations be had
made. He thought that considerable advantages
had been taken in the refreshment department dur-
ing the Festival in charging high prices for dinners
without any corresponding benefit to the company.
All the company received was 21d. a-head, while
in many cases sums of ss. and 10s. per head were
charged to individuals for refreshments.
The CHAIRMAN thought that every opportunity
should be given the proprietors for free and open
discussion, but the course adopted by Mr. Slack could
not be sanctioned, and he trusted that this would be
the last meeting at which personalities would be in-
dulged in. It was entirely out of place to use such
terms as "fraud," &c. He (the chairman) had a strong
hope and belief that they could regenerate the con-
cern. The directors did everything they could for
the best, and in their endeavours to improve the con-
cern it was not too much to expect the support of
the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) It was impossible
to follow Mr. Slack through all his bygones_ and
suggestions, as he was not responsible for them,
but with regard to the debenture stock he might
i
this.

hoped would give satisfaction. The lower class had

An amendment was proposed that the number of

On a show of hands the amendment was rejected
by 75 against 46, and the motion proposed by the
chairman was carried.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed that Mr. Anderson,
Mr. lonides, and Mr. Ogilvie, the retiring directors,
be re-elected.
The following names of shareholders were then
handed in as candidates for the seats of the retiring
directors—namely, Mr. Garty, Mr. Oliphant, Mr.
Laceman, and Mr. Richards.
On a show of hands Mr. Richards, Mr. LUMBAR.
