RUSSIA. would have had funds sufficient to have completed his railroad without a loan—the money is  wanted, as M. COBDEN justly observes in his a :mirable letter to the Secretary of the Peace So :iiety, " to pay the savage instruments of the devastation cf Hungary," to pay the murderers cf BATTUT ANT and of Aumca, it is blood-money that Messrs. BARING Brothers have undertaken to lend—it is blood-money that they ask the capitalists of England to supply. To every man to whom they have addressed a circular, asking his subscription to this loan, Messrs. BARING Brothers have offered a deliberate insult. We trust that no Englishman (BARING Brothers are, thank GOD, more American than English), we trust that no Englishman will be found sufficiently base to take part in this " unholyand infamous transaction ;" should there be any such, let him be regarded as excommunicate and a castaway; the blcod of BATTHYANY, the blood of Auracu, the blood of the murdered of Arad and  - . of Pesth, will be on his head ; his will be the guilt, the shame, the disgrace of the wornan•fl•.gger. Never again be his red right hand grasped in friendship; let all mankind avoid him ; the subscription to the Russian loan will be as the mark of CAIN branded on his brow. But we will not believe that England holds any man who will join the &RINGS in this infamous transaction. We devoutly hope, for the honour of our country, that not one single application will be made to them from any English house, but that they will be  permitted to monopolize the unhallowed gains, whatever they may be, as they will in that case the iviiimy and guilt of this most unholy compact. We are rejoiced to find that Mr. Coanzis has taken up this question, and is bestirring himself to convene a meeting in the City as an indignant protest in reprobation of this " unholy and infamous transaction." There are many points on which we consider Mr. COBDEN wrong, and we have never hesitated to state as much whenever the occasion seemed to require it, but in this he is right, and every honest man will go with him cordially. Let the meeting be held without delay, and let it be followed u? by meetings in every town in England.  Never, perhaps, has public opinion been more unequivocally exhibited in Ireland than recently on the great question of free trade. Never has a body of reactionary agitators been more signally discomfited than the Protectionists in the sister kingdom. The " grand demonstrations" that were so vauntingly announced by the Tory press, which were to have afforded the most striking illustrations of the unanimous decision cf. the Irish people of all classes and grades in society, have proved complete and unquestionable failures. The monopolists have sustained defeat after defeat. The black north, where it was supposed their greatest triumphs would have been achieved, has witnessed the total annihilation of their hopes. Downshire was regarded as the strong. hold of the party; in that county, where the principle of " tenant-right" is almost universally sanctioned and recognised, where landlords and tenants are united by the strongest bonds of common interest, where the cultivator of the soil would really be benefited by high prices for agricultural produce, as well as the owner, the feeling in favour of free and unrestricted trade has been most clearly and distinctly exhibited. The sturdy yeomen of Ulster are not, however, to be deceived by the weak devices and glaring fallacies of the advocates of the re-imposition of taxes on human food. They mustered strongly at the Court-house of Downpatrick, under the guidance of one in whom they well knew that the most unbounded confidence might be reposed—who in all the relations of life, public or private, had ever maintained the highest character.
