MARSHAL HAYNAU. Last night a public meeting was held in Farringdon Hall, king's Arms•yard, Holborn, which was convened by the " Fraternal Democrats," to take into consideration the conduct of the workmen employed at Barclay and Perkins's brewery towards Marshal Haynau. The Hall was crowded to excess, numbers having been unable to obtain admission. The chair was taken by Mr. Pettie. The business of the meeting was opened by the singing of the Marseillaise Hymn. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to explain the object for which the meeting was convened, and congratulated his fellow-countrymen on the fact that the monster Haynau had received such a lesson at the hands of the brave and noble-minded men is the em. ployment of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins. It might suit certain parties who hounded on Austria in the infamous treatment of the Hungarians to abuse and vili'y the men who had so well and so truly supported the character of Englishmen ; but gli (the Chairman) was confident there was not an individual now present who would not join with him in expressing the warmest admiration at the conduct of these workmen, and he was sure that but one feel rig could prevail among them upon the subject. The Chairman • concluded by announcing that several gentlemen would now address the meeting. Mr. JULIAN HARNAY having read several lett rs of apology from parties who were invited to attend, Mr. Wm. Rurrsr moved the first resolution. He said they had met not only for the purpose of congratulating their fellow countrymen in the employment of Me-ssrs. B irelay and Perkins on the conduct they bad displayed, but also that they might let the monster Ilit)nau know bow they sympathised w ith those on whom his atrocities bad been committed. After all, the Chartists who had been committed to prison had not suffered in vain. The principles of, liberty had been deeply instilled, and hatred of tyranny had been gene rally itibibed by the people. He concluded by proposing the fi,llowing resolution : " Hest I,el,—That ad the people of the earth are brethren, that the irfliction of t 3 ninny and cruelty upon a.y c .uetry nn outrage to all nations—that the Italians and Hungarians commend their sympathy, and their Austrian oppressors the hatred of the peep!, of the United Kingii, that foremost amongst the Austrian tyrants of Italy, and chief amongst the Austrian scourges of Hungary, s ands Marshal Haynau, the military murderer, executioner, and woman flogger. That the aforesaid Marshal Haynau is the enemy of the bureau race, outlawed by the voice of the people, and amenable t popular justice; and that, Clerefore, the humiliiting punishment inflicted upon the t mi creatit, on the occasion of his visit to Barclay and Perkins's brewery, was honourable and praiseworft to the administrators thereof; and that this meeting declares that the brewery workmen, and the high-spirited men and women who assisted them in chastising the Austrian assassin, have deserved well of their country, at,d are entitled to the thanks if the friends of freedom and justice throughout the world." Mr. JULIAN HARNEY seconded the resolution. At the conclusion of Mr. Herney's speech the Marseillaise llym was sung in French and English, the entire meeting joining enthusiastically in the chorus.  Mr. ENGELS, a Prussian, then addressed the meeting. He said he always felt confilent that the English people would wait and would act at the proper time, and he could tell them that the late affair had created the greatest sensation on the Continen'. Whatever might hereafter happen on the Continent, the treatment which Haynau had received would prevent all such men from showing their faces in England. At a German he thanked the meeting, and he thanked the working men of Ergland for the lesson they had given to the Continent.—(Cheers.) Mr. Baowx, a working man, next came forward. He cc,ramenued by asking whether Lord Dudley Stuart was present. The Noble Lord was the advocate of the Poles and the Hungarians ; but it was left to the working men to set the proper example of their detestation of tyrants. Mr. Brown concluded by singing a translation, by Erncat Jones, of the favourite French song. " Mourir Pour la Park," in which the meeting, enthusiastically joined. The next speaker was a Mr. Osnonsie, who having shortly addressed the meeting, the resolution was put and unanimously agreed to. Thanks were then given to the chairman, and the meeting separated.
