The CiarRMaN, upon beha'f of the sud committee a pointed to draw up the resolutions to be submitted to tl public meeting, reported that they had experienoed 40 ificulty in framing a series 40 as properly to express their vie wa and preserve due consideration of the various inte- rests involved in the question. , They had taken into consi- deration mainly two points, “In the first place, thoy de bated upon the propriety of calling upon the government to suspend the Foreign Enlistment Act, 0 aa to allow British subjects to offer their sorvices to Turkey. Upon full consideration, however, it was decided that the resolutions should not comprehend this object, in- asmuch as that the government might resolve te ren- der material aid to Turkey, in which case the Foreign Enlistment Act would be suspended as a matter of course. (Hear, hear, hear.) The next point of prominent interest was involved in the discussion of the question whether or not it would be expedient to submit to the public mecting a resolution expressive of want of confidence in the present administration. After a Jong discussion it was decided that it would be. better net to do so, as it was felt to be impossible to select at the present time any ministry in whose hands the fre dom of Europe would be entirely safe, because of dynastic interests; and it would be useless 'to call for the re- moval of'one set of men without being able to name their successors. He (the chairman) had received two resolutions from M. Kossuth, founded upon these two points; but they were very long, partaking more of the character of a state paper than of that of simple resolu- tions to be submitted for adoption to a puplic meeting. He (the chairman), therefore, was of opinion that the solutions of M. Kossuth were not suitable, amd that the series proposed by the sub-committee should be adopted. The series of resolutions recommended by the ub-com mittee were then submitted, and, after a long discussion, adopted, as follow: 1. That the series of Russian aggressions eonvinces this mevting that there is in the Russian cabinet a fixed pur- ove not only to subdue Turkey, but to domincer over all rope, aad extirpate all freedom. We look upon this as the true reason why no diplomate settlement of the Tur- co-Russian quarrel was possible, and we lament that the British government has wasted most valuable time, d maged the just cause of the Turks, inflicted upon con- merce months of needless depression, and, worst of all, has inspired universal suspicion of the good faith of Eng: lani, ina vain effert to negotiate with an unserupulous and violent power, which acted while we talked, and , Which, if uow monientarily appeased, would only become ions by gentle: ts of ‘Londor more dangerous on some early occasion 2. That this meeting applauds the glorious patriotic | spirit of the ‘urkish people at the present crisis, and would deplore any attempt on the part of the British go- vernment to suppress that spirit, asan act of unparallel infamy; especially considering tre many solemn ways in which Kngland has bound herself to maintain Turkish in- dependence. 5. That not only the interest but the duty and honor of Fngland call upon her Government to discard all secret end dynastic diplomacy, and to render prompt, decisive, and eflective aid to Turkey. 4. That this meeting is of opinion that Austria, by rea son of her previous course of policy, and of her recent per- Jious behavior towards Turkey, ought to be regarded as enemy by us, and not c xerished as an ally. ‘That an address embodying the foregoing, resolutions ntrusted to a deputation to be presented to her Ma That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be trans mitted to the Turkish Ambaseador. lord Dudley Stuart, it is understood, will take the chair. PUBLIC MEETING AT LEICESTER. (From the London Times, Oct. 6.) A public meeting “ for the purpose of conveying to government the sentiments of the people of thix borough on the necessity of prompt, energetic, and decisive action at the present important crisis of the Eastern question,”” | was convened by the Mayor (Mr. John Manning) on the requisition of 166 inhabitants, this evening. The meeting was held in the New Hall, and was attended by nearly & | thourane persons, composed principally of tradesmen an working men, with a sprinkling of manufacturers and professional ren. The Mayor presided, and, in opening the business, said that he believed her Majesty’s Ministers were as anxious to know the feelings of the people on this subject as the people were anxious to express the Dr. Nomis: moved * That, in the opinion of this. mei ing, the invasion of the Daundian P'rincipalitie: continued cecupation of those provinces by the army of the Emperor of Russia, is aa unprincipled act of aggres- sion, contrary to the law of nations, and calling for the | most decisive interference on the part of the English people.” Mr. W. Hany seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimous}; Mr. J. F. Honuxas moved ‘That the integrity of the Turkish empire bein d by the the most solemn | treaties, to which Great Britain has been a party, it is | the plain duty of the English government to fuliil its en- gacements to the utmost, by brat hlens | her territory in- ate, and by maintaining the Sultan in the full posses- | n of his rights as an independent sovereign.” Captain Hannis seconded the motion, and said he had visited Turkey more than once, and so lately as four years ago.he left the Turkish deminions for this country. to be a barbarous people, whom it would be to the interest of Christianity to chase dut of arope.

He could assnre them that he (Captain Harris) | never met witb greater hospitality or greater respect than he, being Christian, met with in Turkey, from all classes. He might say that he placed himself frequently among the Turkish soldiers—not among the highest ranka, but among the private soldiers and non-commissioned officers—and he could assure them that he was reccived with hospitality and kindness,and especially because he wasan Englishman. | And should they suiler the character of Engliabinen to fall in the eyes of the Turks’ Never.

SUMMARY OF THE | RUSSO-TURKISH DIFFIVULTY— YROSPECTS OF WAR. (From the London Limes, Oct. 7.) It is understood that a cabinet council will assemble to. éay for the purpose of taking Into cousideration the criti int to which, after long aud indecisive negotiations, the Turkish question haaat length been brought. It i eminently desirable that at such a conjuncture the public should be qualited to form an independent opinion, and, though the complications of the dispute are somewhat emberrassing, we think we can render the case sufficiout- ly perspicuous for the understanding of any attentive euler. Hitherto the question Bay been unavoidably lett te struggle through the delays of G{piomatic correspon- dence, but it has” now been carried by the proceedings at Olmutz to a plain and intelligible issue. the governments of Europe, and especially those of France and England, being bound in their own interests to put a check upon the ambitious encroachments of Russia, interfered in the transactions occurring between this Fower ané the Ottoman Porte. Russia had offered a double offence to the laws and jealousies of Europe. She had demanded from Turkey certain concessions objection- able in themselves, and rhe had enforced her demands by an armed occupation of territory, from which, by special treaty, she stood debarred. The object therefore of the European powers, whose representatives assembled in conference at Vienna, was to procure the withdrawal of these unjustifiable demands, and the evacuation of the provinces invaded. With these views they framed a note, which, in their opinion, would satisfy all requisite condi tions, and which, if accepted by both partles, would ter- minate the embroilment. To this note Russia sent in her adherion without :elay, but Turkey suggested some modi- fieation of its terms, which, as coinciding with its own intentions, the Conference approved. Russia, however, not only objected to susb a revision of the original docu ment, but showed, in the despatch by which she defended her objections, that she put upon the nove a con- struction entirely at variance with tho real desigas of those who framed it. The Cvar and the Sultan, in short, had both read the Vienna note in precisely the saine sense } that is to say, as authorizing those very pretensions on the part of Russia which the conference had interposed to de- molish; and it was on this supposition, accordingly, that the Divan had modified it, and the Court of St. Petersburg approved it. The note of the Conference, therefore, as evidently failing to express the views of its authors, was no longer admissible, and @ new instrument became ne This closed the first stage of the negotiations. The second stage involved the framing of some fresh terms of agreement in place of the first, the object of the whole transaction remai recisely the same, viz. to make Russia retire trom the Principalities, and relinquish her demands upon the Porte. On the first of these points there was little dificulty, as the Emperor Nicholas had always undertaken to make the territorial evacuation an immediate consequence of satisfaction on the latter point. If it could be once settled what he might ask, and what the Sultan might grant, the retreat troops, he de- clared, should follow instantly, andas a matter of course. At frst there appeared to be scme difleulty as to the sub- stance assignable te these particular terms, for the condi- tions which had been deseribed in Count Nexselrode’s ex- Planatory despatch as presumed and required by the ar, were such as the European Powers could not admit without forfeiture of their own securities. This difficulty, however, has since diminished, for the Car has’ now avowed his readiness to accept an inter- pretation of the note substantially identical with that of the four Powers. The sole remaining difference is now upon the form which shall be given to the instru- ment of agreement. The Emperor Nicholas, alleging that he has accepted a formal note froméke hands of the four Powers, asserts that he cannot, consistently with his own dignity, accept a second; but he assents to a declaration or exposition of this note in the sense intend- ed by the four lowers, as defining its true purport and neutralizing its alleged oversights. This is the ground now taken by Rusia. On the side ‘of Furope it is felt that @ note which, by the Czar’s own declaration, has already been construed in one xense, cannot by # mere counter declaration be effectually established in another, for that the only result would be a document bearing two conflicting interpretations, each of which mlght be made available in turn. The Western Powers, therefore, re- quire that the Vienna note should be put entirely aside, | as destroyed by the Crar's own exposition of its purport and that ‘a new instrument should be framed to obviate any future misunderstanding. This is the question now at,issue between Russia and Europe. It is « nestion, as the readerwill see, of forms exclusively. the acknowledgements required from the Czar, touching his abstinence from Turkish affairs, he declares himself willing to have understood by our reading of the note, as also to recall his troops from the Danubian Principalities. There is no longer any dispute about terms. difference is, that whereas the Western Powers desire embody these terms explicitly in a fresh convention, the Cear is anxious that they should be expressed in some appendix to the convention already feamed. Perhaps, itcan hardly be denied that the conference owes some amends for the faultiness of its original note. The Czar’s acceptance was given to the terms proposed to him, and that thore terms did really admit the construc- tion he chose to place upon them is clear, from the im- pression of the Vorte to the same effect. That he would bave accepted conditions more explicitly framed is what may be pre-umed from his offer to accept them now, for, if be is willing, as he declares, to have the Vienna note explained in the true sense it was intended to carry, he could hardly have objected to it from the first, had this sense been patent on its face. Upon the whole, how- ever, this case of diplomatic etiquette goes against the Czar, for he has no species of right in the question at | all, and, if there in anything disagreeable in its settle- ment, the penalty is eertainly no greater than is due to the original aggression. No privilege pertaining to him by treaty has ever been violated or impeached. No justi fication whatever has been advanced for the demands which created the rupture. From first to last, in the ex- actions attempted, and in the violence by which thore exactions were kought to be enforeed, his conduct has been wholly unwarrantable, and it is no’ more than just that he should take the consequences of the difliculty insi- dentally created. But we may now surely appeal to the good sense of Englishmen, and ask if this is a question for war? The | encroachments of a power so menacing as Russia must | undoubtedly be encountered, i! necessary, by the armed | resistance of Europe, but atpresent no encroachments are | | threatened. Russia is willing to accept the conditions we | propore; and, if we fight, we shall be fighting net for terms, but for the form in which those terms shall be framed, The real point to be obtained is the effectual security of Furope by the terms exacted from Russia, and, as a dispo- sition to give such a security is now manifested, it would | be am eternal discredit to the diplomatists and govern. | ments of the age if they could not surmount the remain ing difficulty without » resort to the extremity of war. A WAR IN EUROPE—THE FATE OF THE THRONES. [From the London News, Oct. 7.) ‘The aggregate red-tapei#m and a: isiocratic consoryatixm of Europe have clubbed their forces to persuade the world that the Emperor of Kussia cught to be allowed to have his will as regards Turkey, for the sake of peace. If you attempt to stop him, they vow and protest we are sure to beve war. They bellow out, with tedious itera tion, that the sole object of the a¢ vocates of Turkish in dependence is to provoke a war. This is a most unblash ing misrepresentation and mystifleation. The object of the opponents of Russian aggression, throughout the controversy, has been to obtain some chance of preserving peace. They have admitted, with pain, that the bullying attempt at usurpation by Russia han rendered it ex tremely problematical whether peace ean be preserved by any means or on any contingency. The Possibility of war they bave looked sadly but uirmly in the face. But their great argument has been that if there were any way of preserving peace it was by arresting Russian aggression promptly and decidedly at the outset. The epponents of Russia on the great Eastern question are the real friends of peace. They know the objects ; with which that Power has sought to steal a march upon ‘Turkey and Europe, under the pretext of defending some petty unmeaning privileges of the Greek rite in Turkey— whieh privileges Fave sot in fact been assailed. Ia a series of tre aties—concluded at the close of as many wars —Russia has contrived to get inserted stipulations vague first, but gradually becoming more é finite, which might afford i: pretext at any time for interfering in the domestic sffairs of the Ottoman Empire. The object of this insidious, stealthy, unintermitted process was silently to weave around Turkey bonds which, like the wigic thread of Maimuna, should appear weak until the victim wee irretrievably eumeshed in them. The *q2ab- bie about the affairs of the Holy Sepulchre, and the occu pation of the Danubian provinces, is but a port of this kystemati¢c aggression upon Turkey. Russia's aim is in the first place to aggrandize itself by appropriating the Otteinan dominions; in the second place, to avail itself of the increased strength it hopes to gain by that usnrpa- tion, more certainly to domineer over Europe and trample cut every spark of eonstitutional liberty. To yield to thix last move of Russia would only be to facilitate the further progress of ite usurpations. A stand mavit be made against them some time, unless Europe is prepared to submit to Cossack domination, There are traitors within her gates ready to wail with joy the ad vent of the Russian horder, and make common cause with then, The sooner a stand is made the more exay it will ve to repel Russin, A more resolute policy, on the part of Engiand and France at the outset of the late nowotia- tione, would either have terrified Russia at once into re tracing its steps, and then there would have been no war, or it would have brought on the contes: before Rusvin wes thoroughly prepared, and the war would have been more brief. it seemed fit to the wise heads which regulate the af- fairs of France and lngland to think and act ether wise it seemed fit to the equally wise heads whish regulate the effaira of Austria and Prussia to emnlate, or go_be yond the Western Powers in their temporizing policy. They are now likely to resp the fr it. War appears to be ail but inevitable.

The brushing away of those diplomatic springes which iRussia has bee so assidiously setting for Turkey would be cheaply purch aed ed war, On the other hand, the want of wisdein evinced by the Emperor of Russia in proveking a war with Turkey at this moment—and of the Austrian government in abet- ting him—looks like infatuation. A war be:ween any of the despotic Powers and any neighbor at this time can be compared to rothing but one of these buccanearing duels in which the cembatants exchanged shots over a barrel of gunpowder with the top stove in, Kurope ix everywhere thickly strewed with combustible matter, and they who have most to lose thereby insist upon incurring the risk of setting fire to it. ‘The friem4s of rational pro gress—trom the most moderate of whigs to the Démocratic Pavifique—may shudder at the prospect; but there is not a red republican in Europe, not an ¢mewier by profession, but will hail the commencement of a war with delight: The fiercest of tempests, however, must have an end. War must some time or another be succeeded by peace, which will find the despotic rulers weak and exhausted by their exertions, and the people strong in their immortal youth. The friends of rational freedom may therefore oye the coming storm with comparative tranquillity; but the absolute rulers who have provoked it—or connived at ite provocation—may rest assured that if once it begins to Tage in earnest, many of their already tottering throues will be laid prostrate by it before it blows over. OPINION OF LORD PALMERSTON’S ORGAN. {From the Londom Globe, (Lord Palmerston’s organ,) Oct. 7.) We extraet an article from the Yimes, which willbe read with interest, on the present critical position of the ques- tion which must be supposed to occupy this day's Uabi- net council. When we are told, on the highly respectable authority of our morning contemporary, that the whole question now turns cn a form of words, we cannet help saying that it is exclusive y the fault of one party if it has not been bepta verbal questien from the outset. The dispute began about a form of words, and if it had been carried on in kind, there could at this moment have been no sort of danger that Europe should come to blows about a ver- bal difference. It was because Russia did not stop at words that the spirit and resources of the opposite party have been taxed to the extent they have been, and that its pa- tience has given way under the infliction. If weare asked whether a form of words can be a matter for Kurope to go to war about, we reply—No, ‘certainly—any form of words that expresses an honest meaning, would quite satisfy us to stay at peace. But if a dispute merely verbal cannot furnish an excuse for European hostilities, how could precisely such a dispute furnish an excuse fer Russian aggression? Horse, foot, and artillery are facts; and if these facts had not ‘been’ brought into prosence, words would never have created the danger which, it can- not be denied, now threateng the peace of Europe. When ond party in a dispute begins by wis de fat, such as those which, on the part of Russia, first “proiuced ‘mi, ané then exasperation, im Turkey, no subsequent of the quarrel can be treated as a strife about mere verbal punctilios, One of the parties has proved that words are the counters it plays with, not the real stake of the game, When forms of words are sought to be impored by force of arms, they acquire an im. portance ‘whieh the pasty which thus seeks to enforce them cannot strip them of at will. Since Turkey witbheld no treaty rights from Russia--nay, recognized all such rights in terms almost of humility—the point sought to be extorted could not be a point comprised in those treaties—the armed enforcement of it, therefore, could not be a matter of right, nor point of honor. There must have been something else in view than formal re- cognition of rights which existed; and that something else must have been dented of sufficient value to infringe subsisting treaties in pursuit of. ‘That something else, we are told, is no longer in view now; ‘‘at present,”’ says the Times, ‘no encroachments ure threatened.’’ Jn that case, the peace of Europe is secured; since the statement implies cessation of the encroachments already in course of commission, and the persistence in which, in spite of all European mediation—assuredly conducted in the most peace making spirit—is the provocation which has goaded ‘urkey into her present attitude.

First and foremost, it is my painful duty to report to you a frightful railway collision in Ireland, attended with a fearful loss of life, and perhaps the most disastrous acci dent that has occurred since the establishment of the iron way. On{Wednesday evening a passenger train, up from Kilkenny and the South, that was due in Dublin about 6 o’clock l’. M., was brought to a stand still between the Sallins and Strafian stations, owing, it is believed, to some defect in the engine. Shortly afterwards, although the necessary precautions had been taken, a cattle train followed at full speed, going clear through a first-class carriage that was last in the passenger train, and driving the remainder in aheap of ruins. Some fourteen or fifteen persons are already dead, and between forty ant fifty are severely maimed—so much so that the lives ov many are despaired of. My heart sickens at the very recital. The leading papers of the day give a detailed account of this terrific occurrence, which is ic deed without a parallel. I shall restiict myself to th mention ¢f a melancholy episode. An English gentleman was accompanied by his sister, his wife, (a beautiful young lady of one and twenty,) and their little child, an jnfant nine months oll. A passenger, a Mr. Jelly, of Maryborough, a very large man, h r ae wlich the tro Exglinit indies and the baby wore, and stood talking with a Captain Collis; but on seeing the cattle train coming along he got’in again, and stood in the doorway watching it, wnder the im- reselon that ite approtch was gradual, The ladies slaimed on hearing that’ the train was wemibg, and wanted to getout; but the English gentleman advised them to stay as they were, and he was about to get out himself, and was only waiting for Mr. Jelly to cet out of the doorway, when the collision toek place. Mr. Jelly was instantly decapitated, both his legs cut off, and his body torn to pieces. The ladies were both killed,'and the agony of the un‘ortunate husband and brother, when he cast himself upon the lifeless body of | his young wife was quite indescribable. The baby vas ny ated from the grasp of the unhappy moth was living. ‘Thrice happy they whose hearts are tied In love's mysterious knot so cloy No strife, no quarrels, can divide, ‘And only death, fell death can loose.

Bofore the ship ‘reached the Mersey, forty. seven passengers were thrown overboard, and several others died in the harbor, and were carried ashore. The remainder of the sick were carried in carts to the hospi- tals, where a large number—it was impossible to ascer- tain the exact number—had died. The unfortunate survivors are loud in their complaints of the insufficiency of foot, and say they were cruelly treated on board; but as these complaints will doubtless meet with proper in- vestigation by the owners of the ship, we forbear r peating the tales that were in circulation at Liverpool on tie subject.
