Wayne° was, or indeed still can be, more easy than to render the warm and enthusiastic reception of LOUIS KOSSUTII in this country, a harmless and useful demonstration. Asa spontaneous outburst of sentiment by all parties and classes in this country, it would be the most salutary warning that the des potic governments of the east could leceive, whilst such an outburst has had no reference to our inter nal quarrels or polities. Should, however, the warm reception of KOSSUTII be limited chiefly to the civic classes and to the party of advanced progress, Austria will no doubt chuckle, and ticitwanzeNaeaci bo confirmed in the opinion that the power of England is still vested in its aristocratic chiefs, and that they look with mp probation on all that he has done and that he perse veres in. A more important fact, however, will be, the manifestation to the English world, that whilst the middle and working . classes sympathise generallf with the hero and the victim of a great constitutional struggle, our aristocracy shrink from his contact. Vie never recollect any schism of this kind having before occurred amongst Englishmen. When Spain threw off her priestly and kingly yoke, high and low in thircountry sympathised with it. ARGUELLES, as much a democrat as ever was KOSSUTH, was more welcome perhaps at Holland House than in any civic abode. The Greek, the Italian, the Po lish met here, all of them, with no stinted welcome, and were put off by no class sympathies. If we go back even to I'M we shall find a large portien of the British aristocracy taking the generous side, and hoping that popular emancipation might be completed without crime. If, however, now fur the first time in English annals, we are to have the high born all thinking and looking in one direction, the industrious and the business population of Eng land thinking and looking in another, inferences will be drawn of serious consequence to internal economy and politics. The present question, that of lion ofryn Kosseett, is so clly a question moderate, constitutional, national liberty—the Hungarieine haying stuod out for nothing more then whet every people must demand, and have a right to obtain - that for the people of England to find them selves opposed to, or deserted by, the upper classes on a question like this, would he a bad symptom, one provoking most dangerous reflections, and pointing to most serious results. Let us hope, then, that our fears are groundless. Nothing can be better calculated to remove these groundless prejudices against his efforts and his po licy than Komereit's speech at Winchester on Satur day last. Most plainly did he there demonstrate that however aristocratic the constitution of his coun try, it was not less the continued effort of Austria to destroy it. The Hungarians had chosen the Emperor of AUSTRIA to be their constitutional king ; but they did so at a time when the other kingdians and pro vinces of the House of Austria had their rights and constitutions. The HAPSBURG.; destroyed them one by owe, and were advancing to the destruction of that of Ifiengury, it being out of the nature of things, as Kos.serit said, that a go vernment or an Emperor could be constitutional s in a part of his empire, and absolutist in another. Yoe the absolutist pulley was sure to be that found mist convenient and mist preferred at react. Austria found its first opponents uniongst the magnates, such as the Seeetit.sis and HATIIYANIS. Hot, as Kossern said, the defence of Hungarian freedom and constitutional independence could not be achieved by three or four hundred magnates. It was nensaeary, it was indispensable to awaken the feelings and command the support of the population at large, by raising the penitent from serfdom, and I giving the franchise to those possessed of a certain number of acres. This may be democracy ; but it is a kind of demo cracy practised by the legislators and even by the aristocratic reformers of Englund, from ilayna tleirta divan. In England, or in Ifungar . y, as long ss the feuded lord could resist the crown in arms at the head of his retainers and in defence of his rights, he did so. When feudal strength was no longer equal to this, English and Hungarian lords fill back an the constitution, and called the people to take part. in order that people and lords might make head together against absolutism. There is no honest and liberal Ilangarian,lionever arietotratie, who can say, either that Komi:masked too much in the way of reform and popular emanci pation, or that in order to carry there reforms he evoked a popular support that was not needed. The Meignates stone could neither have eavednor have de fended freedom in II ungary, nor could they have erected a sufficient bulwark against Austrian encroachment without calling the people to their Rid. KOSSUTH did nothing beyond what prudence end sense, as well as duty and necessity, dictated. What we are called upon now to do. is to welcome Kosseen according to his deserts. (If his eloquence, his genius, his power of dominating senates, and raising armies from the earth by a blow of his foot -- this no one debits. All admit him to be great. What his foes deny is, that he is good But his fees say so—why ? Because they want to have England in accord with Austria ; they want sonic one in the place of Lord Patestmeroe who would better please Prince SCIIWARZENBERU ; they want le London press that is to be the echo of the Vienna iesseile, and a London corporation like that which thanked WtNI/ThateltaTZ for his bombardment. We are not to club together in admiration or support of litis.l 711, because, forsooth. past sympathy of this kind fur Poland has done no good, but put us on bud terms with the CZAR. But all this is founded on mistake. We have no objection to the members of government being pru dent as they please, to an ambassador bciug discreet, and to the language of legislators being reserved in the condemnation of foreign powers. But the people of England, and the mind of England. is something far too majestic, too powerful, and too noble, to be diverted from a solemn duty by mean fears or by empty observance of decorum. The opinion of England has a weight of morel approbation or moral censure to bestow,very remote from war or from threats, but which has its importance, as is evident from the strenuous attempts made to shirk and to falsify I . it. The public opinions which Englishmen enter tain, the public freedom that Englishmen enjoy,—all these, with their character, institutions, and sympa thim make this country the object of suspicion and; aversion to despotic powers. Cringe as we may, and were we to put on the mask of absolutiem we should not conciliate the EMPEROR or the CZAR. And Englishmen speaking out their present opinions • respecting the Hungarian struggle will bring us no unmet° war with Austria, than our sympathies forPo laud have flung us into a war with Emma. At any rate, Americans and Englishmen are in the same boat on this occasion, and expressing unanimously the same horror of absolutism. Let Feautesso and :glen°. LAS united take offence at the free expressions of an united opinion, if they dare. The English race need not surely fear to Incur, by its honest out-spoken sentiments, the disapprobation or the enmity of both the Croat and the 'tartar. the seaegees have done quite ri b , hie calleortea and his reatureratioa. The' lema t " " rabourar ea r i _vorihy of i tsUr ate fuel bat even the, AbA can 16 . °01 r and we are not quite afford to dispense with doe* Ms all onassiona - • to accept it, were it only keep that lese fortunate brethren in countenance, and shield them from the unfriendly remarks of _ the *meant and malicious. But there are some service, which cannot be en tirely or at all recompensed in a pecuniary way; services for which honorary rewards are the most I appropriate. It is generally felt that since the first projection of the Industrial Exhibition very valu able and meritorious services of this kind have been rendered. Nay, the knighthood conferred on three gentlemen, and offered to a fourth, and the C.B. awarded to other two, shows that the councillors of the Fountain of Honour concur in this opinion. It must, however, be allowed by all, that the attempt I made to sa tisfy public opinion in this matter has placed in a very glarinz ss l ‘ iiht the very inadequate powers at present pox by the Crown for ex- ' pressing by honorary distinctions its sense of meri torious public services. As for simple knighthood, it has notoriously come Ito be a distinction which one half the world strive to escape with quite as much pertinacity as the other strive to acquire it. It is perhape, at present, a thing simply indifferent ; the less fasti dious may have no reason to be ashamed of being huddled up in one category with our numerous knights by accident. But looking to the back doors which have occasionally been opened for ad mission to the order, if order it can be called, and some of the individuals who from time to time have con trived to sneak in at them, the time may probabl3 be regarded as not far distant when no man who values his position in society will submit to receive the blow en the shoulder. The prefix " Sir "is in immi nent danger of sinking as low as it did in old' Romanist times, when it was the common designation of every mom-priest. And bating knighthood. what has the Crown to bestow ? The hereditary " Sir" can only be accepted by wealthy men ; if indeed, considering now often it has in former years been prostituted to serve political intrigue, how many spurious Nova Scotian titles are current despite of the Heralds College, and how barren a title it is, it can be con sidered much better than the title of the knight header. As for " orders" properly so called, Eng land has none accessible to gement merit. The order of the Bath, though of late extended to civilians, is still confined to those who can be said with strict technical accuracy to have "served the crown." Now in this country the civil bureaucracy has been so imperfectly organised, that the great majority of real and valuable public services must of necessity be performed by those who neither do, nor could be induced to belong to it. There never was such a mockery on earth as the pretended extension of the order of the Bath to civil merit, if it is to be confined to officials. A gentleman pensioner, or an amateur scavenger (dabbling in patent manure company jobs), or a policeman may be eligible, hut the great masa of the really distinguished public men of the country have no chance. And there is no other order to reward scientific or literary merit, or inventors in the useful arts, or great philanthropists, or distinguished statesmen not in office. It was a poor subterfuge the conferring ' a foreign order (the (iuelphie) upon such, while our'' King chanced to lie also King of licNornu, and even that is now impossible. There remains, to be sure, the lonian Order of St. Mittiod. and St. GEORGE ;1 but when we have said that we have known it re fused by gentlemen who subsequently condescended , to accept of simple knighthood, no more need be said on the subject. We are madly in want of a civil order of merit in this country. And the want is a serious one. It is in human nature to covet such distinctions ; and if they are honourably and judiciously awarded—re served for real merit, and never vit hitch' from real merit—they are among the most legitimate objects of ambition. They may be (we do not think they are) incompatible with republican plainness ; but England is a monarchy. England is the most popu lar of monarchies, and yet it is the only one in mo dern times which wants such a graceful connecting link between the throne and the people. With the exception of the bureaucracy none but military men are allowed to deck themselves even with the bor rowed feathers of foreign orders. In no country of Europe has mere military fame been brought so near its proper level as in England, yet even the crown can only allow soldiers to accept a foreign order. Any military adventurer who has contrived to get the Tower and Sword of Portugal, or the Lion of Persia, or the Grand Cordon of his Imperial Majesty FAUSTIN 1., may by securing a borough to sonic influential patron on the right side , of politics, get leave to display it in the eyes of his wondering countrymen, but a llnascilid. or a STE PIIENSON would lave no chance. It was half hoped that the occasion offered by the ryat international exhibition of industry would have been seized upon to supply the desideratum. Nor is it impossible even yet to turn the opportunity to account though certainly the beet time for doing it in the best way has been unaccountably allowed to poss. We are not of those who would summarily pass sen tence on our existing orders of chivalry, from the Garter itself down to the Poor Knights of Windsor, as mere rubbish relics of the feudal ages. They are appropriate adornments of that tempered state which our popular monarchy has retained, just as tour reformed church has. But they are inadequate to the wants of society as now constituted among us. Their chief value is as a link between us and our great ancestors ; we need something which shall be to this thinking, talking, industrial age what these orders were to the bygone ages of mere fighting and priestcraft, now luckily gone for ever. Both court and country would find their account of a new Civil Order of Merit. It would serve as an incitement to men of talent to devote their tale; is to the public service; it would still more intimately identify the crown with all the great aspirations and efforts of the nation in every held—industrial, intel lectual, and moral ; and, what is nut altogether unworthy of consideration, it would render possible an interchange of grants of foreign orders to dia -1 tingaished British subjects, with grants of the Eng lish order to distinguished foreigners, highly con idueive to the growing brotherhood of motion,. NOTE OF LORD PALMERSTON TO THE GERMANIC CONFEDERATION. The New P►rssinn Gazette publishes the following as the text of a note add ress ed It Lord Palmerston, on the 13th ult., to the British minister to ttie Ger manic Confederation : My Lord—The government other Majesty cannot under stand by what reason the Germanic Confederation imagines that the resolution of September, 1831 (the occupation of Frankfort by the Prussian and Austrian troops), could be ' considered as • reply to the protestation made by her Ma. jiitfs government in July, ISil. In fact, the military occupation of the free city of Frankfurt, to which ' the resolution of 1831 applied, was an object quite did's:rent from the projected incorporation of the Austrian and Prussian provinees, against which your note of the 9th July protested. to that must be added, that although the objections of the British cabinet against the events of 1831, and those more recent against , `the project of 1851, were well founded. But the federal , resolution of September, 1834, received a complete and peremptory reply in the note of Mr. Cartwright, of the 21st I INovember, of the same year; and your excellency acted wisely when, in replying to the communication of • resolu tion come to seventeen years since, and foreign to the I matter in discussion, you immediately sent the copy of the reply made at the time. The government of her Majesty has nothing at present to add on the subject of the military . , occupation of Frankfort iu 1834; and, a. the Germanic Diet has not replied to the pro 'on which the British cabinet recently made against the incorporation of territory into the confederation, which was not included by the treaty of Vienna of 1813, iu which Great Britain took part, her Majesty's government she. not think proper to say i anything more at present ou the subject.

PARIS, aLTVIDAT _- The Pattie of this evening nays , on the ministerial ariess • : Six, P.M.—The combination, in which M. Bil lank was to enter, had been resumed. It has once mere, end now definitively failed. The negetintiene with M. Submit are broken off. We are assured that several of those who were destined to be his colleagues have refused to take office with him. It was their opinion that his name would not offer sufficiently strong guarantees to the men of order." If this news is correct, it seems likely that the Pre sident will form at once en extra-parliamentary cabinet. The chief scruples which have arrested the defini tive formation of the ministry have come from M. Ducos, who was pitched upon for the financial de partment. This gentleman, who represented the Gironde during fifteen years in the old Chamber of Deputies, as a member of the opposition, and ap peared in the Constituent as one of the earliest and most vigorous assailants of the provisional govern meet, has distinguished himself latterly chiefly by hi elaborate report on the wasteful expenditure tit Ledru-Rollin and his colleagues. Having been he she old Chamber of Deputies on advocate for the ex tension of suffrage in favour of capacities, and voted against the law of May 31, there would have been nothing inconsistent in his joining a cabinet formed for the repeal of that law. With regard to reports current at the Bourse yesterday about the Pope's illness, and even death, the Constitationnel states that no telegraphic despatch has been received on the subject. The report seems to have originated in a lithographic correspondence, which stated from the Osserratore Romano that the Pope had been seized with a sufficiently serious ill ness for a triduum of prayers to be ordered to be offered up for his health. The Osierratore, which reached Paris to-day, does not contain a word on the subject, any more than the letter of our Ituman correspondent of the 20th. In the official account of the doings of the Connell of State, it is announced that this body had jest entered upon the debate of the second reading of the bill on the responsibility of the president and minis ters. Although there is no doubt of the bill passing with the clause which assigns grave penalties to the encouragement of an unconstitutional candidature, as a high misdemeanour to be tried before the High Court of Justice, the announcement of the bill hav ing been finally adopted by the Council of State seems to have been premature. The organs of the majority have a fling at Lord Palmerston for his note to Prince Casteleicala The Assemblee takes occasion to furbish up its old charges against the English foreign secretary, beating the round of Europe fur several years past, and won dering whether the cabinets of the powers w ill pocket in silence such a stunning affront to the cause of reaction, which they have all jointly pursued. The ,i'Vbats cannot betide the note genuine, because the Neapolitan minister has not immediately de manded his passports. It is said that the disposable fortune of the Duchess d'Angoulaie does not exceed one million of florins (rather more than two millions of francs), and that she bequeaths it to the Count de Chambord. V"‘'. Eva!rni*, SUNDAY EVP:f ISO. I announced to you yesterday evening, on the authority of the Patric, that the ministerial combi nation, which I sent on Friday, resting on M. Bil lault as chief, was dissolved, because this statesman was too liberal for the stomach of the conservatives designated for his colleagues. Such a fact exhibits in a striking light the difficulties with which a chief magistrate, imbued with the most moderate tenden cies of liberalism, has in the present state of France to contend. Fur if the name of Billault be re jected as not offering sufficient guarantee to the "men of order," what reasonable bound can be set to the tyrannous fastidiousness of a party of order which will co-operate with no men who are not the cream and flower of re-action and coercion. Last year "the men of order" were less squeamish, and were overjoyed to accept this same M. Billault as their head candidate in the elections of the Saone et-Loire, where however the " red" list triumphed. Is this not a striking proof of the increasing exigencies of the reactionary party, when they re pudiate as a minister the num whom they embra as a parliamentary candidate, iu whose prin ciples they can challenge no deterioration. Oa the other hand, the retirement of M. lid lault is a fresh illustration of the impracticability of the President's favourite plan of combining a coercive policy with the returu to universal suffrage. It becomes more and more evitlent that if the Presi dent seriously means to labour sincerely for the abro gation of the law of 31st May, he must break com hletely with the irarliamentary majority, and throw imself frankly into the ground of the republican party. Billault having finally retired and taken his place at last really in the railway carriage for Nantes, more glad perhaps than his wife and family who accompany him, to return to his provincial occupations, the mast prominent personage left on the stage of ministerial negotiation seems to be M. Duos, the designated head of the financial depart ment in the recent combination. Yesterday, after the rupture with M. Billault, M. de Persigny paid a visit to this gentleman, and is said to have offered to him, in the name of the President, the following compromise: Louis Napoleon was ready to draw a distinction between the policy to be declared in his message and the policy to be acted upon by his ministers. His message would still demand the abrogation of the law of 31st May ; but the cabinet might negotiate modifications of the law with the parliament, and present a bill embodying these. This offer is said to have been accepted by M. burns, whe is to have for colleagues three of the late ministers, Fould, norther, and Magee. It is added that the portfolio of Foreign Affairs would bo offered to M. Drouyn do I: Hues. The tone of the Bonapartist papers against the parliamentary majority was never more menacing than at this moment, and in perfect harmony with the following characteristic speech, attributed to Louis Napoleon: " I a'onc can save the conservative party, which thinks itself so strong and is so weak; its destinies are in my hands; let it not push me to extremes!" The most difficult post of the cabinet to fill seems that of the Interior. M. Casabianca is talked of as destined still to figure in the new combination. Gen. St. Arnaud's name seems withdrawn ; nor is Ferdi nand Barret any longer spoken of. M. Lacrosse is mentioned as likely to arrive in Paris to-night, in obedience to the summons from St. Cloud. The Presse reports that all idea of forming a semi parliamentary ministry has been given up. The President, it seems, is for the moment weary of the toil of trying to reconcile people to sit in the same cabinet. Billault retired disgusted with the sys tematic ill-will testified towards him by the " men of order." Ills great difficulty at the beginning was to find a minister of finance, and he no sooner thought to have discovered one in M. Ducos, than the other members of the cabinet became unruly. The Assemblie gives, but without authority, the following as the latest list in circulation :—St. Ar naud, war ; Lacrosse, marine ; Lavollee, finance ; Targot, commerce ; Bineau, public works ; Ducos, interior ; }toyer, justice ; Oiraud, public instruction. I have to-day seen an important circular addressed, under date of 16th inst., by M. Leon Faucher, to the protects, calling on them to repress with all the energy which the law authorises the first appear ance of disorder. "Nothing," it says, "is changed as to the principles which served as a banner to social order." It would be difficult to protest more empha tically than is done in this circular against all misin terpretation of the President's new policy as a step in the socialist direction. The President was not present to-day at the rae in the Champ de Mars, a; had been eipeeted. The weather was raw and cloudy. It is reported that the resignation of General Car relet, commander of the first division, has been given in and accepted. Successor to General Neumayer, this officer, if report be true, has met with a similar fate. He is said to have composed, some time since, an order of the day so strongly in favour of legality that the colonels of the garrison refused to post it up in barracks, lest it should be interpreted as a hit against schemes attributed to the Elysee. General 7'.lagnan has recently adopted a measure for the &knee of the capitat in case of A.,t , te, which shows that the arrangementt of Chaogarnier were capable of considerable improvement. Ile has distributed the artillery, hitherto accumulated at V, OCTOBER 27, to different putters of Paris; so that, In 4 .mtions being eat., ao arrondif.- - , essential nay be without this . arm. ill. de Larnartine sends, from his retirement at Monceau:, an emphatic protest against all rapture of legality in the crisis of 1832. He will go no fur ther than the repeal of the law of May 31, the partial revision of the constitution, the possibility of the legal candidature of the President; but will not admit any propaganda in favour of this candidature. Out side the constitution lie every sort of adventure, and the transgression of it will lead to ruin. The Beroltgion has been prosecuted by M. Culler for a libel, in saying that tho prefect of police had bought, besides sundry other small estates, a pro perty worth 20,000!. at Sens. SPAIN. MADRID, Ocr. M. The Ministry of Public Instruction is ineorporatcd with that of Grace and Justice. M. Reinoso, who is appointed Minister de Foments, the now title of the Ministry of Commerce and Public Works, is a senator. M. Artita is to be appointed a member of the senate. It is said that Gonzalo Bravo is to be sent as Ambassador to Naples. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Danish President of the Council, Count Adam Molkte, announced to the " Things," on the 18th, that, at the expiration of a week, lie should lay a report before the Assembly, respecting the state of the country; he required time to answer the inter rogations of M. Hansen, touchin Schleswig-Holstein affairs, as the ministry were hardly yet settled in their places. The question, "in what way the ministry designed relatively to organise the different portions of the Danish monarchy," was fixed for discussion for the 20th inst. A debate then took place on the report of the Flensburg notables. The minister said that this report had already been once under consideration, but was silent as to the views of the government. It was remarked by a member that two months had elapsed since this report had been sent in, that the " Things" had sat for fourteen days, and yet the questions involved in that docu ment stood still. It was finally voted, by a large majority, that the report should be examined a second time; but no day was fixed for so doing. AMERICA. The British and North American Royal Mail steamer Canada, Capt Harrison, which left Boston at noon on the 15th, and Halifax on tho night of the 16th, arrived off Holyhead yesterday forenoon,at a quarter-past eleven, and at the bar at a quarter past four. Owing, however, to the state of the tide she could not proceed, and we arc indebted to the politeness of Capt. Harrison, who forwarded our des patch-bag by one of the steam-tugs, for its delivery some hours before the vessel herself reached the river. I he Atlantic steamer, which smiled from Liverpool on the Ist inst., arrived at New York on the lath, after a prolonged voyage, owing to having been re tarded by head winds for the whole voyage. The Canada also met and spoke the Royal Mail steamer America between Halifax and Boston, at 8 o'clock, n.m., on the 16th. The Admiral lett Halifax is H.M.S. Cumberland for Bermuda, accom panied by the sloops-of-war Calypso and Sappho. The mails by the Canada were in charge of Lieut. ltaymond, Admiralty agent. The Canada had about . • . 40 passengers. The United States mail steam-ship Washington, which sailed from New York for Southampton on the 4th inst., rcturrcd to New York on the morning of the 12th inst. Her machinery had been disabled it having broken the strap of the starboard crosstail link. At the time of the accident she was proceed ing under the usual pressure of steam, with a smooth sea. She was being repaired, and would resume her voyage on the Intli inst. The news by this arrival is quite unimportant. The United States District Court, for the district of Maryland, has been engaged in the trial of James 1). Johnson, indicted on the charges of transporting slaves, in the American brig Chatsworth, from the coast of Africa to Brazil, in the year 1850, and for serving on a slave vessel, in violation of the acts of I 1,00 and 1818. The brig was captured by the United States cruisers, on tho coast of Africa, some time ago, with slave-deck, &c., on her, sent home, condemned, and sold. The case had not been decided. Judge Grier, of the United States Circuit Court, has issued a special venire to the marshal to summon 108 jurors to try the charges against Elija Lewis, and others, who have been committed for treason against the United States, growing out of the mur derous outrage at Christiana. The fourth Monday in November has been fixed as the day for the com mencement of these trials. Catherine Ilayes was about to sing at Boston ; when she had arrived the excitement was as great as that to hear Jenny Lind. The trial of Margaret Garrity for the murder of her seducer, Edw. Drum, commenced in Newark, NJ., on Tuesday, the 7th inst. The sympathies of the audience were strongly excited in favour of the prisoner, as was to be expected, but there was no breach of decorum. The case went to tire jury on Saturday night. On the 13th the verdict was ren dered—" Not guilty, by reason of insanity." A gale on Lake Erie is thus spoken of in a letter dated Buffalo, Oct. 13: We have had a severe gale here during last night and to day. The brig Chicago, Captain Napier, which left this port yesterday, was capsized this morning off Long Point, and her first and second mates and one seaman drowned. The remainder of the crew, seven in number, saved them selves by clinging to the bottom of the vessel, from which they were taken by the schooner Home, when nearly ex hausted, and brought into this port. The vessel will pro bably be righted and saved. She belonged to Thomas Dyer, Esq., and was insured. The gale continues unabated, and we fear more disasters. Letters from New Mexico do not bring any intel ligence of the revolution in Mexico of more recent date than our last adviecs. A telegraphic communication from Toronto states that Messrs. llincks and Morin were conducting ne gotiations for the formation of a new ministry with ever 7 prospect of success. e have advices from Vera Cruz to the 4th inst. Accounts from the capital to the ith ult. represent the government to be in great confusion, and almost without resources, the treasury being at the lowest ebb. Ineffectual attempts had been made to form a new cabinet. The government were not yet aware of the revolution in Northern Mexico. - - NEW YORK, Oct. 13.

There was no incident worthy of special n nice on Saturday, unless it were another visit from the Duke of Devonshire, who was accompanied by Sir Joseph Paxton in a promenade through the foreign departments. The activity of the parties employed in the work of removal is now especially conspicuous in the Sardinian and Italian sections generally ; but as these comprise many articles of statuary, requiring the most elaborate kind of packing, the progress is much slower in results than in departments where the goods are of a less delicate description, or re quire leas ingenuity and care in the preparations for re moval. The " Happy Child" appeared a day or two ago in a most unhappy state of confinement. It would have grieved thu hearts of his countless ad mirers to see him, like a naughty boy, cooped up in the narrowest possible space instead of breathing the air which so lately resounded with his praises; though it must be added, for the comfort of his friends, that his limbs were so swathed and guarded as to remove all cause of anxiety with regard to bis safe conveyance. SMALL SPITE AT WEEDON BARRACKS. TO THE IDITOIL UP Tlll DAILY DEWS. Stn,—l beg to inform you that I was stand;ng near the barrack gate this morning with a friend of mine, in the 4th Ike., and he told me that the commanding officer, Colonel Gold, gave orders to the sergeants' mess (which took in the Daily News) that they were not again to permit that paper to enter thc barracks. This, sir, I dare say, will be made known to you in due time by the sergeants; but I only thought it right and just that you should be made acquainted with the circumstance : for, sir, ho might as well take away our birthright, and deprive the soldiers and sergeants from reading the scriptures—which, from the rate he is now going on, is very likely to take place. A RESIDENT OF WEEJJON. Oct. 23, 1851. - - - ANOTHER SEARCH FOR SIR J. FRANKLIN. It gives us great pleasure to know that the Admi ralty have decided on renewing the search for Sir John Franklin end his party in the ensuing Fpring. This decision may be regarded as an official judgment on the propriety of Captain Austin's premature return. If the Admiralty were of opinion that Captain Austin's expedition had thoroughly covered the field of search, they would not send out a fresh expedition to do the work over again; and, on the other hand, if the work has not been done, it is quite clear that Captain Austin should have remained on the ground to do it. The Admiralty are well aware of the painful fact, that the duty which lay clear before the eyes of the expedition has been neglected ; and we sincerely trust that the coun cils which are to deliberate next week on the aloes of search will take precautions fur securing the effective working of future expeditions.—Atheruetuis APPOINTMENT.—Mr. Edward Joseph Darley is appointed a member of tho Legislative Council of Ceylon, durng the temporary absence of Mr. James Swan. IMPROVEMENT Of GREENWICH PARK.—The mittec appointed at the late vestry, met on Thursday, to consider the present state of the park. They appear to have began their duties well, for it was determined to pre sent a memorial to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests calling their attention to the fact that a large por tion of the park had been enclosed, and added to the garden of the ranger. At the time, however, such portion was en closed, it was understood that it was only to continue en closed during the lifetime sr residence of the then Princess of Wales, and that at her death or removal it should again be thrown open to the public. The committee consider by the recent determination of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests in the park-keeper's garden, that was addi tional reason for the restoration of the ranger's garden. It was also resolved to urge that an ornamental fountain should be placed in the centre of the reservoir • that the Rate at the foot of Maize-hill, which has been cl osed many years, shluld be thrown open ; and also that a carriage road should be formed from Blackheath to the gate at St. Mary's Church. These improvements, we hope, will be carried out. The necessity has often been urged in these columns. —Kentish Mercury. KOSSUTH. DEJEUN. ER AT THE MAYOR OF SOUTHAMPTON'S. On Saturday, the Mayor of Southampton enter. tamed at his country residence, near Winchester, a large party of the friends of M. Kossuth and the other Hungarian refugees. Among the company were Lord H. Stuart, M.P., Mr. Cobden, M.P., the American Consul, Mr. Cros key, Moms. Pulsky, Mr. E. E. Crowe, Mr. Sheriff Payne, Aldermen Laishley, Brookes, Lancaster, Tucker, and Perk, and several of the Town Council, and about .50 other gen tlemen. The room was densely crowded, and the numbers present were only limited by the extent of the accomm e d e . tion. It is impossible to over-estimete the deep attention with which M. Kossuth was listened to, the impression he created, and the enthusiasm with which he WAS received. Nothing could be finer than the energy and pathos of his elocution, and the purity of his Engleih was a matter of pleasoat surprise to every one who had the advantage of listening to him. 'Phe Queen, Prince Albert, awl the other routine toasts having been given and duly honoured, The MAYOR gave, in succession, " The Preddent of the United States," and " The Sultan," with a compliment to that monarch for having given a shelter to Kossuth. Thies toasts having been received with loud cheers, The MAYOR again rose and said, that he felt it to be a great honour and pleasure that he had now to propose the health of their illustrious guest, Louis Kossuth. (Cheer:.) It was most gratifying to them, and, also, he helloed', to the great majority of the people of England, that his tingutshed friend was permitted to among thine that day. (Hear, hear.) Fur his own part, he felt it to be his duty, as the chief magistrate of a great commer cial town, to welcome such a stranger to this country, which was distinguished above all others as the home of the stranger ' the land of the free. (Cheers.) 11 , . was delight e d to see the unanimity with which Kossuth had been wel comed since his arrival in this country, because he was pre eminently the champion of constitutional lieerty, and ho trusted that such demonstrations would have their proper moral effect in the proper quarter. (Hear, hear.) The press would, he trusted, be unanimous on the subject, be cause its power was sufficient tocarry any cause him 'staid' it embarked. To it they owed the repeal of the Test Act and of the corn laws, and it only required propor action in that mighty engine to secure ultimate success to the raise of Hungary. Without further preface, he would giro them, " The health of Louis Kossuth, and prosperity to his undertakings." (Loud cheers) M. KOSSUTH then rose, and in excellent English pro ceeded to address the assemblage as follow::—Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,—ln rising to thank you most sincerely for the noble, kind, and generous sentiments which have been so well expressed, and so heartily respouded to, I experience emotions far too strong to permit of any display of eloquence. Besides, I was quite unprepared to meet so ih einguished an assemblage as that which I have the honour of addressing. Not much accustomed to address public assemblies in my own language, I fear I shall have great difficulty in addressing you in English, and therefoa! meet in the first instance claim your patience and generous indulgence. (Hear, hear.) I beliero I may attribute the generous sen timents of which I am the object to nothing elite than that sympathy with a struggle fur freedom which so well befits the free Englishman, and to the fact that the cause of Hun gary is a just cause, strongly and intimately eunneeted with the maintenance of the principles of freedom all over the world. (Loud cheers.) Now, instead of any vain attempt to give you an eloquent speech, perhaps the better way will be to give you in a plain unvarnished inauner some information respecting the great cease which I have so deeply at heart. (Hear, hear) I wish the ptenile of Eng land to know the true nature of the past trouble, in Hun gary, in order that we may preeerve the generous sentiments already displayed towards us, and I believe that that cut in no way be so well done as by a plain statement of facts, without any unnecessary flourish or artificial pomp of words, (hear, hear.) To understand fully the Hungarian question, it will be simmer,. to say a few words about Hungarian institutions. You all know that Hungary was fur more than 800 years a constitutional monarchy, and that alone is no small indication as to the ele- ments of strength existing in my nation. (Hear, hear.) When you reflect on the geographical position of Hungary. and reflect that the Magyar - race are Asiatic people, men thrust into the middle of European races, without friends and without kindred, you must give credit for the tinnucss and inherent strength that maintained the national institu tions for so long a period. We were, in fact, surrounded by despotic powers. On tho one side with Turkey en croaching on us for centuries, and against which wo had for ages been considered the bulwark of Europe—not only of its civilisation, but of its Christianity—and on another was Russia, a power which, not for the benefit of mankind, has grown prodigiously in influence during the last century* (Hear.) On the third nude was Austria, not the large empire it now is, but the proper dominions of the House of Haps burg, not one of the sons of which, if history speaks truth, was ever the friend of political freedom. One of them, 'tis true, Joseph 11., was the friend of religious freedom, and of the social freedom of the peasantry. But even he, the best of the Austrian dynasty, was strenuously opposed to any extension of political privi leges. Such was our position, then, surrounded by Turkey, Russia, and the dominions of the House of Hapsburg, and, besides all that, we had an internal state of things which has always been considered a bar to national greatness, namely, that the people of the country were excluded from political privileges. Still, witholl these difficulties, the Mag yars preserved not only their national rife but their na tional institutions. (Hear, hear.) Ann I not, then, jus tified in saying that in such a nation there aro elements of a future, and that such a nation deserves to have its rights? (Loud cheers.) I have already stated that the original people of the country had a share in constitutional rights. The constituXon of Hungary was aristocratic, but an aris tocratic constitution in llungary was somewhat different from the meaning which is attached to the word in Eng land. In Hungary the word is not synonymous with power and wealth, but simply means position obtained by birth, su that if a man were bunt noble, till his children and children's children would lie noble than, What wax the consequence Nations, like individuals, are subject to many changes, and the deseentlauts of the old nobles of Hungary did not re main great and powerful, but became so propagated and dif fused as to lie nearly the people themselves, and pourer than the peasantry, because the nobles hail the ambition not to work, as if labour were not the highest honour of huma nity. (Loud cheers.) Therefore, we found that th,s poor aristocracy were not only in the condition en' the people, but actually poorer, because not so industrious. But one prominent feature in these facts is, that our aristocracy war nut so opposed to the extension of constitutional rights as c:en the other aristocracies of the middle ag es , a n d as was formerly the aristocracy of this country. I say was, because I confess that the aristocracy of England have known how to meet the exigencies of the time, to share their privileges with the people, and to bear with the latter their proper share in the public burthens of the country. And they have had their reward, for the aristocracy of England has remained firm, while other aristocracies h a ve b een scattered to the winds. But in Hungary the nobles were diffused among 'the people, mere agriculturists, landlords, or matiufictu rem and labourers, and therefore the word Mune ease must he taken with a meaning different (ruin its accepta tion in other countries. And I must add, that although the people were not by the ancient constitution allowed to speak for themselves, still we always found among the aristocracy gent rous and valiant men, ready to stand forth as the champions of their country and of the rights of humanity. (Cheers.) To enable them to do so, they hail framed two institutions—one was what I may call the parliament of Hungary, and the other was the county municipal institutions; which latter, more than the parlia ment, were the safeguards of the rights of the people. Be cause these county institutions were so framed that they could be only media through which the government could convey orders to the magistrates and other officers. These county meetings were composed of noblemen who resided in the counties, and in some counties amounted to twenty- Jive or thirty thousand, every one of whom had the right of voting at elections for magistrates who were the only executive power of the country. If the government wanted any order executed, it must be done by the municipal magistrate; but he could not come into im mediate contact with the government, who must send their orders in the first instance to the county meeting. Such meetings hail a right to discuss the orders of government, and more than one case has occurred, in which the order was not forwarded to the magistrate for execution, but a remonstrance sent to the government fur sending it. They formed thus a strong harrier against the encroachments of the government ; and no country has needed such a barrier more than Hungary, since, for more than three centuries, the house of Hapsburg has not had at its head a man who was a friend to political freedom. (Loud cheers.) Now, the House of Hamburg has ruled in Hungary fur these throe centuries, not by conquest, but by the free choice of the nation; not without conditions, but firnily bound by treaties, the chief feature of which was, that when the King was admitted to power in the order of his lineal succession, he was to rule and govern Hungary by means of its own public institutions, and according to Ito awn laws ; be swore solerunlv to do so, and prayed to the ' eternal God to bless him and his race, as he was true to his oath. Thirteen Kings we have had of this dynasty, and no can can charge me with exaggeration, when I say that Itissi rule of' these thirteen Kings has been a continuous I Perl whre u h rY sl. ; o r t e . a u t ti fl i e t n h i: e t w i sensation, causedto the deblyi delivery wonderful n th d ia cr (111 sentence.)eni•ry Yes, perjury, that is the word. (Renewed cheering.) Gen ' tlemen, I ant a plain man, and cull things by their right names. (Cheers and laughter.) Now, when the Hunganun nation elected the head of the house of Hapsburg as her sovereign, the country contained upwards of 4,0)0 German geographical squsre miles, which, I ant infornirl,th equal to about 100,000 English square miles, and 15 millions of people, no small or insignificant realm, as you will ad mit. (Hear, hear.) At that time, too, the house of Haps burg ruled constitutionally in all their other provinces, but subsequently, those provinces lost their rights; and, through the wh :le of the three centuries, the direction of the antbi tion of the house of Hapsburg has hems to obtain undisputed absolute dominion over all their territories. Shortly before the Pesth struggle there was not a single province of the Austrian empire that had a coa.tAution, the ambition of the House of llapidsurg having absorbed the constitutional rights of all. Our constitutional rights were not absorb,l, because we did not belong to the Austrian empire, nor had we any coanexiun with it, except ouch as that of Hanover
