Make In urance on Lives at their Office, in Philadelpha, and at their Agencies throughout the States, at the lowest rates of premium. Persons should insure their lives, and do so without delay, whilst they are healthy and fit subjects to be insured. In this Office there are advantages great. than have ever yet been derived from the system of Life Assurance; which reason and experience convince .the Trustees may with safety be offered to the public. It will be found, on inquiry, that most offices have in the outset professed to act on some new' principle; or to offer to assurers some one particular benefit not to be obtained from other societies.' •But policies are effected under various circumstances, and with widely different objects, and!what may facilitate the views of one man, al: fords no accommodation to another. It appears, therefore, to the Trustee.j of the Equitable, that the greatest good will be effected by that office, which allows such reasonable advantages to every assurer, as at the time of completing his Policy, he Considers to be suitable to his particular case. On this principle they act, and a few instances will suffice to s ow the benefits derivable from its adoption—the grea ood of the greatest number. No policy will be disputed, unless under an act ! of fraud by the assured, and after the same shall have been declared-by referees of undoubted char acter. In case of error, either as to age, or in the form of policy, or.the answers of referees, such errors, unless wilibl and fraudulent, will not be deemed to vitiate the policy. The travelling leave is extensive and liberal. • Persons insured for life have liberty to pass to and from the States of Virginia and Kentucky, and west of the river Mississippi, between the first day of November and the first day of July fhllowin g . And to pass from any place or port within the British North American Colonies, or United States north of thirty-four degrees north latitude, without pay ing an extra premium. They are allowed to cross the Atlantic in first class steamers during May; June, July, August and September, free of charge; during remaining months of the year; 25 cents un each 8100 insured. The age of the assured will be admitted on the policy. If the insured die in a duel, by his own hands, or under sentence of the law, such death will not invalidate the policy, except so far as it was the property of the deceased. Thirty days allowed after each annual payment becomes due, and titters days atter each quarterly and half yearly premium becomes due, without for feiture of policy. Premiums or lapsed policies may be renewed . at any time within six months on the production of satisfactory evidence as to the health of the insured. • When a party effects a policy upon the life of hnother, the Company will be satisfied if the party aad, at the time, a bona fide interest in the life of the assured. The policy may be assigned to whom soever the assured pleases, without the knowledge .or assent of the Company (there being no clause in the Equitable policies usual in the policies of Mu- Tura. Companies, claiming a right to be notified of an assignment and their approval obtained) so long as the assignment or transfer of a policy in the Equitable is a legal act, and the party who claims can give a legal discharge, the amount is paid by the Company. The extraordinary advantage afforded by means of, the Half Credit system, in not requiring, under any circa stances, an outlay of a larger sum of money th. is absolutely necessary to secure the amount insured, is peculiarly applicable to the CREDITOR desirous of possessing a policy on the,life his orarron. If the debt is paid off during these five years, he can discontinue the assurance alto gether, having secured the amount, in the event of the debtor's death previous!}, at a less expense than would in any mutual office be charged for assuring the life for seven years. If the debt is Nor PAID he would be enabled to continue the assurance for the remainder of the debtor's life, whatever might then be his state of health. Attention is particulary re quested to the HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM PER 6100 (Without security or deferred note.) Half Credit. Age. Half Credit. during 5 years. during 5 years 90 40 $1 46 1 75 213 • - _ - • The assured has to pay the premium in all cases in advance, and 'HAS NO LIABILITY of any kind, sort or description. A deferred note is not nece• - ) - nary to perfect any operation, and 'none will be -taken by the Company. Persona insuring should bear in mind that n pro missory note given to a MUTUAL OFFICE pound interest, soon amounts to more than the sum assured. Thus, $lOO per annum for 20 years at 6 per cent., would cause a DEDUCTION from the sum assured of THREE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE CENTS. The premiums of Mutual Assurance Companies being, as they profess, (though the Mutual offices "do somehow" advertise guarantee capitals) lice from the burdens of dividends to shareholders, should be very much lower, than those of stock companies; YET THE EQUITABLE IS LOWER BY SIX TEEN PER CENT. THAN ANY MUTUAL OFFICE, and at the SAME RATES OF PREMIUM charged by the "New York Life," "The New York Mutual," "Albion," "Worcester Mutual," "Connecticut Mutual," " Pennsylvania," "Girard," "Penn," z , New England," "Hartford," " Baltimore Mu tual," "Boston Mutual," &c., &c., &c., irt the Equitable the payments cease altogether after twenty-one years. Annual Premium payable during Twenty-one years only, for' an assurance of $lOO at death. Age. An.paym't. Age.An.paym't. Ag,e.

Their " profits" can only be realized, if ever realized at all, after a lapse of twenty years. The. word Profits, therefore, is an abuse of the term, A WHOLLY CONTINGENT AND REMOTE PRDAIISE ; for it is self-evident, and cannot for a rnozwnt be ques tioned, they must suffer loss by every insurer who dies before the amount .paid Mm in premiums, with the accumulated interest, shall be equal to the amount of his policy—nevertheless, in the Mu tual Offices the " profits" (11i) are to be shared in by the re pre`..entative, shou'al the insured die liI MED/ATF:LY after one or tvvo payments. By the diminution of the premiums in the Equi table, THE GREATEST PRESENT BENEFIT IS SECURED to all persons assured by this company; whilst those who wish to participate in the profits can do so, by,the purchase of the• reserved shares, (first instalment, 10 dollars) which at all times afford a good and really profitable investment for capital, beside a vote for each share. This action the Trustees - conceive must commend itself to the judg ment of every unbiassed inquirer, being based on the broad principle of equity; and securing to all the members, the advantages to which they are justly entitled by their actual payments; without opera ting to the peculiar benefit of old standing members, or placing recent entrants at a disadvantage --a combination presented by no other office than the Equitable Life Insurance Company. THE ACTUAL MONEY BONUS given by the Equi table saved, is upwards of 15 per cent., at the time °reflecting the insurance; OR IN ACCORDANCE with the SCRIP BONUS OF A MUTUAL OFFICE; THE SAVING IS EQ:UAL TO TWO, HUNDRED AND FIFTY PER CENT. PROFIT SCRIP (t) (p7 - Pamphlets, tables of rates, lists of agents, obtained at the office, 74 Walnut Street, or from the agents throughout the Uni.ed 'States. The public are . requeste l d to examine carefully the Prospectus of " The Equitable" before insuring elsewhere. JNO. W. CLAGHORN, Pres't. PRANcts WEST, M.D. B. BIErDLE, M. D.

Thou last the form, And likeness of thy God !—who more A soul as dauntless 'mid the storm Of daily life, a heart as warm - And pure, as breast e'er wore. What then?—Thou art as true a MAN As moves the human mass among; As much a part of the Great Plan That with Creation's dawn began, As any of the throng. Who is thine enemy?—the high In station, or in wealth the chief? The great, who coldly pass thee by, With proud step, and averted eye? Nay! nurse not such belief. If true unto thyself thou wast, What were the proud one's scorn to thee! A feather, which thou mightest cast Aside, as idly as the blast The light leaf from the tree. No:—uncurbed passions—low desires— Absence of noble self-respect— Death, in the breast's consuming fires, To that high nature which aspires For ever, till thus checked : These are thine enemies—thy worst; They chain thee to thy lowly lot— Thy labor and thy life accurst. Oh, stand erect! and from them burst! And longer suffer not! Thou art thyself thine enemy! The gleatl—what better they than thou! As theirs, is not thy will as free! Has God with equal favors thee Neglected to endow? True, wealth thou bast not: 't is but dust! Nor place: uncertain as the wind! But that thou hast, which, with thy crust And water, may despise the lust Of both—a noble mind. With this, and passions under ban, True faith, and holy trust in God, Thou art the peer of any man. Look up, then—that thy little span Of life, may be well trod! gliscellancous. Handel and George II Handel sat in his little room absorbed in his composition. Once more he proved each note most carelully—at times he smiled at a fine pas sage, arid then again looked grave when he met with a part that did not quite satisly him, and which he struck out upon reflection and afterwards amended. At length he gazed long, so long, indeed, upon the last Ame C—that a tear fell upon a note. "This tote," said he solemnly, in casting his eyes to Heaven, '•this note is, perhaps, my best! Re ceive it, thou Almighty and loving spirit! Receive it as my best thanks for this work! Lord! Thou hast given it to me, and that which proceeds from Thee remains, though all that is earthly passes away—Amen:' Having finizhed, he strode up and down the room for a few moments, and then took a seat in his easy 'chair with clasped hands, happy in dreaming of his youth—his home. Kellerman, towards even ing, came to see him, with the view to accompany him to their usual rendezvous. Handel received him warmly, more so than was his wont. They spoke a long time of their fatherland, of their sci ence, and the great masters in their country. But at length they had to remember that their friends were waiting for them at the tavern. " Well, friend, ' - cried Hogarth to the , great mas ter, "was my advice not goody Did Bedford not assist you, and are you, notwithstanding that, just as fine a fellow as before ?" Handel nodded, good naturedly l smiling, and took his usual place. " Yes," continued Hogarth , " you are lucky now, old fellow! you dare no longer sorrow; , but I, poor devil, have had bad luck with my last work." " You I" asked Handel, astonisued ; "you, whose fame hcreases from day to day i . "It has room to do so," replied Hogarth, vexed, "since they laughed at me. You remember along time ago, when Leda, painted by Correggio. was sold here at auction for ten thoilsand guineas. I said that if any one would give me ten thousand guineas I would paint something just as good. Lord Gros• venor took me up. I went to work, put everything else aside, painted and painted a whole year; at last the picture is ready, I take it to his lordship, he calls his friends, and, as I said before, they all laughed at me. I had to take my picture away, and, added to that, received at home a scolding from my wife." They all laughed, excepting Handel, who was silent a time, and then said: " Hogarth you are an honest fellow, but often horribly dumb. You can not judge of the Italian painters; for, in the first place, their style is different from yours, and you do not even know their best works. Had you been in Italy as I have, especially in Rome, where the great works of Raphael and Itlicjtael Angelo abound, you would learn to respect the old Italian masters, and even love and venerate them as I do the old Italian church composers. The modern painters are all more or less alike in their style." "Enough said," cried Hogarth, "we will not dispute about it but tell us rather how you are satisfied with the singers and actors, and whether yon.think they will perform their parts well to morrow." "Not one will do his part badly," replied Handel; "I made them work hard, and my pupil Joseph was of great assistance in making them study. The soprano is very indifferent, which I regret on ac count of several fine part's." At that moment Jo seph Watch looked in at the door, and requested one word with _lir. Handel. " Well, what is the matter now?'' asked Handel. getting up and going out. His friends looked smi lingly upon one another, and the host sitting in his easy chair laughed outright. Joseph conducted Handel hurriedly up to his room, where, to his no little astonishment, he found Ellen, the pretty daughter of their host. " Well, what does this mean?" he asked somewhat angrily. "What have 'you to do, Miss Ellen, in the room of this young man ?" "That he may tell you. Mr. Handel," she replied pertly, and turned blushing away. But Joseph spoke honest-heartedly: " Only think no evil either of me or of Miss Ellen, my dear master." " Well, then.' grumbled Handel, "open your mouth and speak." Joseph continued: " For what I am, and all that I can do, I thank you for, my beloved master. You received me a stranger without means; to educate me as a true vocalist, you stin ted yourself of many hours, in which you might have created something." " Hoho ! you fool," laughed Handel, "think you it is not creating to educate a fine singer?" "Be it so!—but I thank you for everything." "It is not true! God gave you your talent." " Well, but everything else I thank you for." " And even if you do, what of it, then?" "Well see, master, it always troubled me when you had to worry yourself beyond measure with bad singeis." " Yes, that is indeed a pity," sighed Handel. " Therefore I have endeavored," continued Joseph, "to train for you a singer—l be lieve I have so far succeeded, th'at she dare let her self be heard before you. There she stands," (poin ting to Ellen.) Handel opened wide his eyes, gazed astonished at the girl, and asked slowly: "Ellen/ she?" - "Yes, I!" cried Ellen, turning towards him and regarding him with her pure, dark brown eyes. " I," she repeated, smiling. "and now, you know, Mr. H, what Joseph and I have been about."— "Dare she sing before - you, master Il.?" asked Jo seph. "I shall wonder how your method of in struction has succeeded," said Handel, taking a seat. "For aught I care let her sing." Joseph sprang gaily to the piano; Ellen stepped near him and began. Hal how indescribable were the feel ings of Handel; how he listened when he recognized one of the choicest pieces of his Messiah—the beau tiful air, know that my Redeemer liveth!" And how well Ellen sang, the reader mapimagine; for when aim Waked ) klatid4 sat 1141 i bliaffplly wwi• ling, his large fiery eyes full of tears of deep. thoughtful emotion. At length he breathed strong ly, stood up, kissed the girl's forehead, kissed her eyes that sparkled with bright tears, and asked, in the mildest tone: "Ellen, good child, will ypu not sing this piece to-morrow?" "Master Handel! Father Handel!" the maiden cried, in the deepest emotion, and threw herself into his arms, sobbing aloud. The next day the performance of his immortal master-piece succeeded beyond expectation. The impression made upon the audience, as well as the singers and musicians, was great. Handel's fame could not now be shaken. As he left the church a royal equipage awaited him, which took him, in accordance with the command of the king, to Carlton house. George H. received the • German artist, surrounded by his whole court.— ' "Well. H." he said friendly, "it must be true that Iyou have made us a fine present of your Messiah; it is a grand work.' "Is it'" asked H., and looked pleased at the king. "I say it," added George.— "And' now tell me, what can .1 do to express to you my thanks." "Well, then," said H., "ii your Ma• jesty will give the young man who sang the tenor solos a situation, I will thank your Majesty greatly. He is a scholar of mine, this Joseph Watch, and he much desires to marry the pretty Miss Ellen, his pupil; her father offers no opposition, but her mother will not consent, on account of his having no situation, and your Majesty knows that it is hard to contend with a woman. - You are mis• taken," replied George, (endeavoring to repress a smile.) "I know nought of such matters. Joseph is. however, from`to day, first tenorist in our chapel." "Truly," Handel exclaimed, joyfully, "now, then. I thank your Majesty from my very heart. - George was silent for a few moments, with a view to Han del's again addressing him. "But, Handel, will you not desire any thing for yourself, as you have given us to day so great an entertainment with your Mes siah, we should like to show ourselves thankful to you " Handel's cheeks became flushed with anger, and he answered, with a thundering voice, "Sire, I did not wish to entertain, I wished to instruct you. - The court stood aghast. King George stepped a few steps back and gazed astonished at the bold artist. But of a sudden he burst into a hearty laugh, and said, "Handel, you are and always will be, a rude old fellow, (slapping , him on the shout der,) but a good one Go, do what you please, we will always remain true friends. - He bowed. Handel then took leave. and thanked God when he was out of Carlton house, and hastened to his snug little tavern. The joy the grind news gave to the lovers, Joseph and Ellen, it is scarcely necessary to describe, as also the many demonstrations of gratitude with which they threatened to overwhelm him. The host of the snug tavern, and father of Ellen, hugged a-nd kissed his good wile, although she scolded and struggled in his arms, and he shouted, Bess! to day we must agree, even should all the bells in old England set to ringing in consequence. Handel travelled lot ten years about England. and composed many great works. Ellen and Joseph were with him during the last years of his life, and he it *as who. transcribed his last com positions as he dictated them. Ellen nursed and comforted him until his spirit fled. Proud and ma jestic stands, in Westminster, Handers marble mon ument. Time may destroy it; but that memorial which he created. tinder a high and holy inspiration, (the Messiah,) will remain for ever. Mistakes of the Rich. The Egyptian King, who swollen with grandeur, ordered a collossal staircase built tohis new palace, discovered to his chagrin, that it required a ladder to get from one step to the other. He had forgot ten that a king's legs after all are as short as a beggar's. Aggrandise as you may, the limits of our senses check us miserably every moment. You call yourself proprietor! Houses and pictures out live you, and after taking your will of them for a short time, vou are carried out of your own door feet foremost, never again to enter it. "Proprietor;' you were, perhaps, of farms and castles, eutates and mountains, but now you have nothing but a hole in the ground, six feet by two! The artists whc visit youagallery while you live and own it, enjoy it more than you. You are rich enough to dine twenty-four times a day, but you must eat sparingly even once. Your cellar is full of exquisite wine,but you can only drink one bottle yourself; and to use your store you are obliged to call around your friends, relatives and parasites—a little world who live upon your substance. and who instead of being grateful, are likely to make you a return in envy. You have thirty horses in your stable; you can mount but one, or ride after but two or four. Rothschild is forced to content himself with the same sky as the poor newspaper writer, and the great banker cannot order a private sunset, nor add one ray to the magnificence of the tight. The same air swells all lungs—the same kind of blood fills all veins. Each one possesses, really, only his own thoughts and his own senses. Soul and body —these are the.,only property which a man owns. All that is valuable in this world is to he had for nothing. Genius, beauty and love are not bought and sold. You may buy a rich bracelet. but not a well turned arm to wear it—a pearl neck. lack, but not a pearly throat with which it shall vie. The richest merchant on earth will vainly offer his fortune to be able :o write a verse like Byron. One comes into the world naked and goes out naked. The difference in the fineness of a bit of fine linen is not much. Man is a handful of clay, which turns rapidly back again to dust, and is compelled nightly to relapse into nothingness of sleep, to get strength to commence life again on the morrow. In this life, so partaken by annihilation, what is there real! Is it our sleeping or working—our dreaming or thinking? Man is no proprietor! Or he owns but the breath as it traverses his lips, and the idea flits across his mind. And even the idea belongs to another. The Rose. I see all flowers round about me here fading and dying, and yet I alone am ever termed the fading away, the easily-perishing Rose. Ungrateful men! do I not make my short existence pleasant enough to you? Do I not in truth, after my death even, prepare for you a sepulehre of sweet odors, medi cines and ointments full of refreshing and strength ening qualities? And notwithstanding this I hear you even singing and saying, "Ali! how fading, how easily perishing is the rose!" Thus lamented the Queen of Flowers upon her throne, perchance already in the first perception of her declining beauty. A maiden, standing before. overheard her and said, "Be not angry with us, sweet pretty one! Call not ingratitude, that which is a higher love; the wish of a fond inclination—we see all flowers around us die, and we consider such the destiny of flowers, but thee, thee alone, do we wish and hold worthy of immortality.. • If we find ourselves disappointed in our desires, yet leave to us the lamentation by which, in thee, we bewail our destiny—all the beauty, youth, and joy of our life we compare to thee, and as they, like thyself whither away, so do we sing and say, "Ah! how fading how easy to fall to pieces is the Rose"— Taramythien' of Herder. Impulse. Men, who are called impulsive, are much slan dered. Are not the most noble, generous actions which adorn the annals of the world, referable to this agent? Reason is even exalted above impulse; but how fallible is reason! Is it not often opposed to faith, and does it not lead to the most dangerous errors? So far as the boundaries of our experience extend, warm impulse has promoted more good deeds than cold reason. We would sooner trust that man in whose breast glows the fire of enthusi asm, than him who, cool and collected at all times, seldom acts without suspicion, and often deliberates till the hour of advantage has passed. Faults, committed without reflection, are certainly not more venial than premeditated sin. He who errs hastily repents sincerely; but the wrong done upon calculation is never willingly repaired. Would that society were more lenient to impulse. Even when productive of harm, it is unselfish, and the consequences to which it leads are hurtful to no one so much as its possessor. Pity is no stranger to the impulsive man, and not seldom do the tears of sympathy fall from his eyes. To friendship he is faithful, and for love he would sacrifice both in terest and worldly esteem. Let us be compassion. ate, therefore, to the errors of impulse, while we respect tja calm dictates of caution and prudence. 1849. Hungarian Independence. Great Speech of Mr. Cobden at a meeting held in the city of London, on the 23d of July last, for the pur pose of sympathising with the /mite struggles of the Hungarians. We could not give our readers more acceptable reading than the speech of WILLIAM Colinas:, the celebrated English economist. Portraying, as it does, the , true state of the resources and physical abilities of Russia, it will dissipate the idea, so pre valent in this country, of the exaggerated and stu• pendous military and financial condition of that empire. This speech has attracted the notice of the hired press of Europe who seek to disparage the views therein set forth; and nothing, that has yet been said in regard to the great struggle for liberty in the old world, has received more attention: Mr. COBDEN was received with great cheering He said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I think, after this demonstration to-day, no paper will have the audacity to deny that the inhabitants of this great city are indifferent -to the fate of Hungary, or favorable to the despots who are trying to fetter her independence. (Cheers.) I appear to day, anxious to add my mite of sympathy to that which you are prepared to express for the interests of Hungary, and I think it right to explain exactly what my sympathies are, and what my objects are in coming here. It I have one principle more than another firmly - implanted in my mind, and which I think it is for the interest of this country, and of all other countries, to recognize, it is, that separate and independent countries should be allowed to reg ulate their own affairs in the way that seems best to them, without the interference of any other for eign power whatever, (Cheers.) I make no ex ception to this rule. I include in it, the right of the Romans. (Enthusiastic cheers, and a " cheer for Mazzini,' which was heartily responded to.) I include within the benefit of that principle, the poorest, the humblest, the most degraded commu nity; for it is no answer to my principle to tell me, that certain countries are not in a condition to govern themselves. properly. The fact that a country is unable to govern itself properly, is no reason why you should go and govern it according to your own notions of what is proper. ~[Hear.] I come now to the question before us,—the cause of Hungarian independence. If this had been a question simply between Hungary and Austria, would it have been necessary for us to have ap peared here today? [Cheers and laughter.] Su long as the Hungarians were left to settle their affairs with the government of Vienna, they were perfectly competent to do it, without the interfe rence of the citizens of London. They have, Ibe lieve, twice driven the Austrian armies from their territories, and to all intents and purposes, therefore. they stand now in the position of an independent nation. (Cheers.) So far, they have proved their power to maintain their independence against Aus tria. My object in coming here to-day is to protest against an armed intervention, as unjust as iniqui tous, and as infamous as was ever perpetrated. I come here to- protest against the Russian hordes pouring down upon the plains of Hungary, and 1 do it upon the principle that I have already laid down, and as I would have protested against Eng land sending an army to Hungary to fight on the other side. (Hear, hear.) I come here to protest against foreigners being upon the Danube or the Theiss at all. I have seen with some astonishment —for 1 was not in my place in the House ot Com mons on Saturday, havir4 had a three weeks invi tation to accompany your Lord Mayor in a pleas ant excursion up the river—that Lord Palmerston -defended himself against some ridiculous and unjust attacks made upon him in the House of Lords, but that in his speech there is not one word of com ment, or of grave rebuke, or the most moderate disapprobation expressed upon the conduct of the Russians. (Hear.) But that is the whole question before us—Russian interference. I have told you that I am nut for allowing the government to send Englishmen to fight the battles of Hungary againit the Austrians, and — l come here to protest against Russia going to the assistance of Austria. We may be asked why do we not follow out this meet ing by some measure for actively aiding the Hun garians. We come here, in the first place, to ex press our opinions, which will at all events show to the despots of the north, that so far as the weight of these free opinions go, we throw them into the scale, and tell them that they may reckon on ; our hostility; and let them not believe those mgans of the press who have been so properly denounced to day, when they tell them that any government in this country can possibly lend its aid to the cause of despotism. (Cheers.) I belong to the peace party, though I cannot claim for myself the views which my friend who preceded me has expressed. I am afraid, however, if we test his views by the New Testament, that he is right and I am wrong What I am here to-day for, is to rouse the feelings of the pease party in this country against the ag gressions of Russia. We may be asked, how can you bring moral force to bear on these armed des pots? I will tell you. We cart stop the supplies. (Loud cheers.) Why, Russia can't carry on two campaigns beyond her own frontiers without com ing to western Europe for a loan. She never has done so, without being either subsidized by Eng land, or borrowing money from Amsterdam. 1 tell you I have paid a visit there, and I assert that they cannot carry on two campaigns in Hungarywith out either borrowing money in western Europe or robbing the bank of St. Petersburgh. (A laugh. and a cry of "question.") That must be a Russian agent or spy, for this is the question. (Great cheering.) I know that the Russian party here and abroad, would rather that I should send against them a squadron of cavalry and a battery of can non, than that I should fire off the facts that I am about to tell you. I say, then, that Russia, cannot carry on two campaigns without a loan. In 1829, Russia was engaged in a war with Turkey; but after one campaign, she was obliged to go to Hope, of Amsterdam, and borrow 40,000,000 florins to carry on a war of two years duration. (Some in terruption here arose from the same voice, and a loud cry of 'turn him out" ensued.) Perhaps, if the gentleman remains, we may be able to convert him to our principles. I have told you that in 1829, Turkey being then prostrate, and having lost her fleet at Navarino, Russia was obliged to bor row 40.000.000 florins to carry on a two years war with Turkey. In 1831, when the Poles rose in insurrection against Russia, if it had not been for the assistance of Hope, ot Amsterdam, Russia could not have carried on that nine months' war. The loan, I understand, was called in England the Pole murdering loon. (Cheers.) Well, now, I want to know, can't we as a peace party, do something to prevent Russia or Austria raising a loan in western Europe again? (Hear, hear.) The whole contest depends upon that. I have told you they cannot carry on a war without either robbing the Batik of St. Petersburgh or borrowing money abroad. There is no one in their own country from whom they can borrow there is not a citizen who can lend them a farthing. The rumors of the wealth at Russia exist because their diplomatists, who are clever, cunning men, invent falsehoods which no one who knows the real condition of the country would believe for a moment. They tell us that the Emperor has gold mines in Siberia, from which he can draw any possible amount of gold, and that it is a story which is believed even by some honora ble gentlemen in Threadneedle street. Novv, I have been there, and I know what is the value of these mines. The Russian government does not work those miues itself. (Interruption, and mu-h confu sion, with a cry of "turn him out.") If our friends will only be quiet, it will be impossible for any single individual to make a disturbance. I am anxious to bring out filets, not only for the present meeting, but facts which will be listened to far more elsewhere. I wish to show the monstrous delusiOn that prevails among the people of western Europe with regard to the resources of this power. Russia does not work an. ounce of gold herself, but receives a per centage, upon the working of these mines by others. And the raising of this gold is not more profitable than other branches of indukry. The Russian government derives a revenue of £700,000 from these mines, while they raise ten times as much upon the excise duties, upon spirits, consumed by its wretched and degraded population. (Hear.) After the gold mine delusion is dispelled, they tell you that the Emperor of Russia has a great amount of specie in the vaults of the fortress of St. Petersburgh. Yes, thereis a re.serve of specie in the. Bank of England; but . it is, a reserve of ~£145 0 00 000 to meet. a paper circulation of 440 r pOOO,OOO or .£50,00•0,000; and bear in mind that the present paper money of Russia was issued to redeem another paper money, which had been de- I preciated one third, or one fourth, in value, the gov ernment having withdrawn the depreciated paper at laid, paying off its notes at 3s. 4d., but under a a solemn pledge that there should be a reserve of specie in St. Petersburgh to pay. these notes on di mend, when they are presented. Now the diplo matists and minions of Russia have spread this re port among the easy credulous, that because the Bank of Russia has £14,000,000 or £15;000,000 of specie on hand, the Russian'nation wealthy one. If comes to a war, Russia must either come for a foreign loan, or rob the bank; and if the Emperor takes that money, he takes what no more belongs to him; and what he has no more right to take, than if the Chancellor . Of the Ex chequer came- down-to Threadneedle street, and took the reserve out of the vaults there. . (Cheers.) There are men here present who know I am speak ing the truth. (Hear, hear.) I know it, because I. have been on'the spot, and made it my business to understand these things. (Cheers.) I should never have spoken thus of the poverty of Russia if she had not violated a principle which every man who admires Hungarian fortitude and courage; and feels an interest in the cause of liberty.and patriotism, is bound to further and uphold. Well, these are my moral means, by which I invite the peace party to put down this system of leaning. (Loud cheers.) Now will any one in the city of London dare to be a party to a loan to Russia (loud cheers), either directly or openly-, or by agency and copartnership with any house in Amsterdam or Paris? Will any one dare, I say, come before the citizens of this free country and avow that he has lent his money for the purpose of cutting the throats ofthe innocent people of Hungary? (Loud cheers.) I have heard such a project talked of. But let it only assume a shape, and I promise you that we, the peace party, will have such a meeting as has not yet been held in London, for the purpose of denouncing the blood-stained project—for the pur pose of pointing the finger of scorn at the house of the individuals who would employ their money in such a manner—for the purpose of fixing an indel ible stigma of infamy upon the men who would lend their money to such a vile, unchristian and bar barous purpose. (Great cheering.) That is my moral force. (Cheers.) As for Austria, no one, I mppose, would even think of lending her money. (Much laughter.) Why, she has been bankrupt twice within the. last 40 years, and now her paper. money is at a discount of 15 to 16 per cent. Sure ly, then, no one would think of lending her money. As the peace party throughout the country, we will raise a crusade against the credit of every government that is carrying on an unholy war. (Cheers.) Don't let any one talk of Russian re sources. It • is the poorest and most beggarly country in Europe. It has not a,,farthing. Last year there teas an immense deficit in its income as compared with its expenditure, and during the present financial year it will be far worse. Russia a strong pontifical poWer? Why, there is not so gigantic a political imposture in all Europe. (Loud chers and laugher.) They talk sometimes as if England and Englishman were alraid of Russia: Now, I wish to disabuse all minds respecting my views on this subject. Ido not come here to op pose the Russian advance into. Hungary, because I think that in any conceivable turn of events, Russia ever can be dangerous to the existence or-interests of England. If Russia should take a step that re quired England or any other great maritime power like the United States, to attack that power, why we should fall like a thunderbolt upon her. (Cheers.) You would in six months crumple that empire up, or drive it Into its dreary fastnesses as I now crum ple up this piece of paper in my hand. (Tremen dous cheering.) Russia a powerful country! I will tell you what she has. She has an army on paper without commissariat, a navy without sailors, and a military chest without a farthing in it.— (Great cheering.) Why, gentlemen, how long is it since we heard of the Russian invasion of Hun vary—since we were told that the hordes of Rus sians were coming down like an avalanche of men upon the Hungarians, to exterminate them? It is four months ago, and where are they now? What progress have they made? I say nothing of the ul timate consequences of the Russian invasion. Ido not shut my eyes to the peril that awaits the Hun garians. But if Russia had been like England, with its resources of wealth, and with the commissariat such as awaited English armies, they would have gone through Hungary from one end to the (Alien Ido not speak of fighting the Hungarians, but • merely of the difficulty of getting through the country, for every one knows that the difficulty that the Russians have to encounteris the difficulty of carrying supplies. What stops 'them is the want of a commissariat, the want of honesty on the part of those who are intrusted with it, the difficulty of the roads, and the danger of attack by a hostile population, and all this I trace to the un doubted poverty of the Russian government. The Russian government have .been for the last four or five years engaged in making a railroad from Mos cow to St. Petersburgh. (A laugh.) The country is as level as this table. (Continued laughter.) I do not believe it is finished at this time, add they were obliged to go to a banker's quarterly to get the money to go on with it. Russia a strong, a powerful, and a rich country! Don't believe any one who tells you so in future. Refer them to me. (Much laughter, and a voice—"Circassiaf) Now, we do not come here to interfere with foreign coun tries, or to make a crusade against foreign finances, until they, have violated the principles of neutrality and the rights of independence, in which we claim to have an interest. Therefore it is that I proclaim these facts, and I dare the Russian agents to contra. diet them. I say again; "stop the supplies," and do so not only in the interest of the Hungarians, but in the interest of the Russians themselves.— (Hear.) Keep them at home; they have abundant scope for their labor in their own country, in deep. pening their rivers, in making railroads, in draining . their morasses, and in elevating the condition of the people. (Hear, hear.) This .is what I want them to do, and not to enter upon a criminal cru sade with an unoffending people, who are their neighbors.. It is, therefore, in the interests of civi lization, humanity, and peace, that we meet here to-day. (The honorable member resumed his seat amid prolonged cheering.) Elegant Extract.
