AUSTRIA - AND HUNGARY The following is an extract of a prirat3 letter dated M, 20. My dear Friend,—What a cont TH Nov. rast between the present moment and that to which I am now reverting. You ask me for a true account of our position. It is a miser able one famine with all its terrors and frightful consequences. For near upon two years not a drop of rain ! The sun rising from a sky without a cloud, and setting behind a veil of fiery dust ! At the end of three months of spring, this year the crops lay withering upon a soil dried up to ashes ; skeleton flocks wandered moaning round the sapless, shadowless trees, and the peasant came at Isit to watch the destruction of all his hopes, the ruin of his very existence, with the stupidity of a stoicism that is the offspring of despair. Some few herdsmen bethought them of driving their flocks np to the more hilly country, or finding some fortunate valleys spared by lingering damps, and hoped to find food for their flocks from sapling trees, but at what a pries? At that of paying with half a herd for the questionable nourishment of the rest' Disease, however, soon followed hunger, or rethet they went step by step together, That the one did its work more slowly, and the other with more fatal promptitude. You do not require me to tell you the inevitable result : commerce and trade are at a standstill ; the husbandman has neither cattle nor corn wherewith to fertilise his barren land for the season to come ; many have already walled up the doors and win dows of their houses, and have emigrated to Gs liciaand Transylvania, hoping to earn food by work, very possibly, however, never to return again to their homes, or, it may be, oondemned to exist on that hardest of all provisions, the charity of the stranger. . . It is not an exaggeration to say that Hungary is by 12,000,0001. or 13,000,0001. the poorer for this awful infliction,and it must not either be lost sight of that it s struck a race of men who, though rea.ly enough to die oa an open battle-field, are ignorant of these kinds of trials, and scared by the idea of death bringing hunger, whereof they have till now not even heard the name. But enough of this wretched subject : the ques tion now is bow to help 1 " Help thyself and God will help thee" is the truest of all proverbs, as may be proved by its adoption by every nation. Here, in Hungary, the " Agricultural Union " at once set to work to see what was practically to be done, the time for mere compassion being past. Several ex cellent plans were proposed, but the means of carry ing them out failed, and the political situation of the country naturally paralyzed all energetic action. The Hungarian Chancery, animated by the most thorough goodwill, suggested a loan , to be repaid out of the national funds (Guides fond),i but this scheme was opposed, and met by the memorable words, "The empire, whole and entire, will succour Hungary in her need." Let us be just to all ; the sovereign's behaviour wasthat of a father of his people ; he meant well to us, and as far as the state could go he meant that it should help to provide bread and work, and the means of earning bread to the suffering. We earnestly say it : the sovereign did his duty by us. Let the political dissensions be whatever they may which divide the western from the eastern part of the monarchy, it is but just, it is but true to say that the ministers saw and felt only this —that help was needed and must be given • and the government proposed a measure to the If:aloha rath which would have sufficed to keep Hungary alive ; they pointed out the right of the sorely-tried nation to he supported ; they pointed out the inte rests of the " united empire "—the interests served by keeping up the tax-paying capacity of this corn granary of Austria's, nor allowing it to be destroyed. The founder of Austrian constitutionalism, M. de Schmerliog, spoke noble words in defence of the government proposal. M. do Plener, the Miniatir of Finance, advocated it with the Warmth of limpet feeling, although be knew that financially it might not leave him wholly without embarrassment. But the Reichsrath ! Its best speakers all sup ported the proposals of the government ; the majo rity, however, threw them out, and thus one of the very first acts of this " competent" Lower House of Parliament was to award to Hungary 20,000,000 florins instead of 30,000,000 as a loan. I will make no comment on this proceeding, the best of all criticisms having been passed upon it by the House of Peers. The latter assembly, as you know, immediately authorised the government to go further, and give more largely, in case the 20,000,000 were exhausted. 1 scarcely like to describe the effect of the roceeding of the Chamber of Deputies on the Hungarian nation ; you can guess what it must be, and it will suffice if I tell you that in this country, which is constitutional to the backbone, which loves its own ancient consti tutional rights beyond everything, the uneducated masses have actually grown to think that they would rather witness the return of "paternal' absolutism than have to do with a system which in its earliest commencements could give proofs of such narrow-minded, unwise want of proper feeling. There are those who say that the calculation of the Lower House was to reduce Hungary by dis tress, and to force her to capitulate from her neces sity. This I absolutely refuse to believe—it is altogether too impolitic. I see with joy that in England an attempt will be made in favour of my suffering countrymen ; an attempt to pour a little balm on smarting wounds. Be assured that the nobleness of the effort will be felt (at a time, too, when in your own homes the... is such terrible distress), and that the strong sympathy will be doubled wherewith already mil lions of Hungarians regard your great nation, her public institutions, and her public men. The foundation stone of the Royal Clarence Rotel, Dover, was laid by the Right Hoe. Lord Bodes, chairmen of the Loader, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, in the presence of a large number of ladies and gentlemen. The proposed site of the Floyd Clarence Hotel is wear the Marine Parade. in the most fashionable part of Dover, end it is intended to erect thereon a ant class hotel for families, where the advantages of a garden with tress will be combined with the salubrity of the seaside. It will contain about 250 rooms, together with suites of apertmeeta for royal personages. Amongst other features eiil be a ladies' ooffes-rocen and conservatory. Whilst it will possess a hostage looking towards the am, it has the advantage of two intending views—the Castle-heal and the fort. It stands upon upwards of as acre of ground, and the esti mated cost is 50,0001. The building is to be constructed at Tisbury Mose, from Wardour Castle, which has reoently beat so much used in the erection of the new castle at Warelonr and in the repairs of Saliebury CethedraL The style, which is from desires by Mr. John Whichcord, the architect, is to bean adaptation of the /talks. HOSPITAL FOR DISZANES or THE CHEST, VICTORIA PARE.—The new wing which wee commenced in the sum mer, in order to provide for the greetly increased number of patients that attend the hospital, is now in en advanced state.

It appears, how ever, that fends are much needed for the completiou of the works, as well as for the ordinary mainteitance of the seta blishmeet.

THE TWO-YEAR-OLDS OF 18433.—N0. 114 TO TER EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS. --• RiA e —Goodwood,. which brought us into the mouth of Amps; was rich in two-year-old prizes u ever, , 1 and it is somewhat singular that all of these events, with she exceptioe of the Molecombe were won by horses who bad IWO/ shown fame before, if they had been in public. For the Haim • filly by Saunterer, out of 31 ceetanims, beat the moderator Lau Welton sod Mirage easily ; for the Levant, If asterism mend Durham, Crytheia, Knight of Snowdon, &atria, Audacieuee, tic. just about as cava lierly • for the Fusion, Paris and Linda were far before Master Richard, the Doctor, the Plumy filly, Wel hock Tomato, he. ' • and for the Bannock Me morial, Lady Hyld a beet Kigalboche ' Goldylocks, and others. Now, ail Durham, Tomato, and Goldylocks had shown themselves occasionally cos a par almost with the beet jingo/les that had bees out, Historian and Paris may be said to have eclipsed everything that was in the Derby ; and stew Fills de l'Air beat Scottish Chief with such ridiculous ease for the Mulecombe, there was nothing to feel surprised at in such • state of affairs, the filly's being after all the better porton:apace, although there is no possibility of calculating how easily Histories and Paris woo, and to handicap thew with the French " flyer " is • very difficult matter. It is • certainty Linda had been highly tried for the Findon, and when Paris beet her so easily the Scottish Chief we, eclipsed for the time. Historian, too, woo like a race-home, said it appeared on paper that if the Darby swimmer had is gale to this ara, w Ile "be lotilia fo r in —u o ne Via ti be pair. Paris ee woo the Nursery, besides the Finders, but beat few "on their merits" beyond Linda, who of course had no chance with him ; and se his stable companion, Idler, who no The Chief very close for second place to Fill. de l'Air the day previously, was second, be must not take too much credit for having stayed the mile, it being on the cards Idler would have beaten him had it been necessary , with the 81b between them. Lady Hylda did nothing better than at Newmarket (for Goldylocks rare a thorough jade), and the Momtbsima filly's performance was no feat ; nevertheless the softer ea: still carried away the palm, in despite of Tomato and Cipher having bean so easily disposed of, for Pile de l'Air, to make auseads, improved in her Epsom triumph over Molly Carew, and certainly did more than either Historian or Paris. Brighton and Lewes betrayed the good qualities of Madame Walton, who had been " worked" so wall that she easily carried off the two Nurseries, said both the Clown sad Attraction improved vastly on their previous exhibitions, tbe Clown proving himself A 1 on one occasion, when he carried Set llb over the severe six fur long. at Brighton, and cleverly defeated, among others., Cuss de Liu, who stamped himself one of the beet of his year at Stockbridge. The latter may not have been in the form displayed there ; but the Clown is entitled to every credit for his disposal, with 121 b the worst of the weights, of fair horses (at that time) like &ahoy, Rigalboche. and Police. Feetinioster, who could ooly get a bad third to Molly Carew and Hengist at Winchester, gave them both so excelleot character when he beat Olivia • bead at Lewes, the latter been( in the previous month shown almost an equality to Faith, Crisis, led the like class ; and when Faith beat Persuasion at Wolverhampton • great many others were brought into the string of second-class juveniles that were "all together." °poised to this pair, Acolyte came out fit to run for the first time, and he was backed also; but he cut upp unaccountably bad, arid Lord Stamford was content with 's and carrying off the chief eveot, which she did toe style that made her Stamford performance not long pre 'Mealy look strange, at the same time smarmed her excel lent form at Epsom. At Reading lace was not sudiciently trained to compete on the first day with Crisis, who on the second day ran out of all form, u she must have about beaten the winner, Eastmiuster, through Olivia, for Fast. minder had not so vastly improved as his defeat of Garotter likewise would make out, the latter having lost his spring form, and he ran gradually worse and worse from this time. Another of the second-raters, Verbena, showed in her true Dolours for the Nursery, which she won easily from Attraction. Barer, and Signalman; and if the three named did not all try, there was something in the defeat of Attraction. At York, lady of Ooverham was is the beet of form when she ran so well in the first race, a mils handicap, tat there were several in the chief event of the first day who were not quite themselves, or Clareniout would set have beaten Appen. nine and Coast Guard for the Convivial. He we, un doubtedly " m form" himself, and hence • pretty correct measure of him was obtained when the Phemy filly ran him to half • length, which was nothing to his credit, nor was the defeat of Durham and King George, looking at the heavy penalties each carried. Apennine os the second day improved his reputation, „po far as concerned the Thorny filly, who was only a bailfourth to his second, with Primo Arthur third. Bat Linda beat the whole trio very early, and showed Paris to be far superior to all the York performers at that time. Syron was within a head of Coast Guard in the mile Gimcrack, with Eastminster an indifferent third, which was an improvement on the filly's part, mid at the earns time another indirect certificate for Paris, as it made him, through Linda, Apeman., Coast Guard, and &seminars, a " lump" of weight better than the last named, and • lot like Persuasion, Faith, Crisis, and Olivia, of about the same fort:. After Krug George had given the vaunted First Flight 71b and his beating matters looked better still, fur George was about the equal of Coast Guard in their race, with Claremont. Prince Arthur beat the good looking Brindisi, as Saragossa did Vanessa, Procella, and Alcyone, iu a couple of the minor events ; but Harvest Hell did not show in his true colours for the Nursery, se he proved at Stockton the week following, 'disrobe, Apennine, Syreo,lady:of Coverhem,PrinceArtbur. and Saragossa, ran just as might have bees expected frost their York doings. Outlaw's sad Land of the West's in different performances at Eghani were the only noteworthy incidents there; but at Oxford there was some respectable quality, Mulberry proving the best of the numerous lot performing, as one she beat, Glendusk, after ward. ran • dead heat for the Nursery with • heavy weight, and for • plate another of her opponents, Usher, ran through • lot more. Gordian Knot was second to Mul berry, as she was to Procella at Wolverhampton, and thus the two fillies were about on au equality. Excep t for Dawdle beating the ' , neonate Practitioter at Lic Id, and Outlaw beating the Mozatiesime filly, Faith, said Hengist, at Exeter (besides Agatha, who, with 101 b the but of the weight., afterwards beat CASs at Weymouth), there would be nothing to dwell upon mail reaching Warwick. Here the Phony filly beat King George, the Clown, and Union Jack, whi ch she wee bound to do, seeing she received from 12lb to 15th from them, a d Jack had not recovered from a recent trip to Irelend • but we had no right to expect that Calls would afterinirds beat King George and toe Clown at 2ilb for the year, and as he did this very truly it was all the m.o. am prising and the has to be relied upon. At Leicester Light ran in her spring form for the last time this year, as she neat Cranbury the greatest ease, so that we had no light to expect Pet suasion could beat her, as she did, at Dounister. She. however, won very easily when meeting l.er, Midnight Masa, Crisis, Lady of Coverham, Harvest Hell, and the 3-yr-old Livitignone, a sudden improvement, almost unaccountable, supposing all the above to be trying, for Lady of Coverhsiu ran well with Carona end Johnny Armstrong in the mile Fiuwillism " triel," and Harvest Hell and Crisis were first and second for the Nursery, • long way ahead of I their opponent., nearly all of whom received weight ; and I can ooly account for Perenasiou'a triumph by supposing she slipped her opponents at the start. Prime Arthur exhibited Coss de Lion in a sorry light, by beating him in a canter for • match ; Saragossa in the fillies' race showed a still further fin pronment by beating Syron and others said in soother ' match we got asight of • splendid colt, by Young Melbourne Koowsleyn dam, who is good-looking enough to be the best of Lord Olsegow's Derby lot, about which eo much Wine is made; bat the leasation piece of the Mentilh: was Ely's overthrow of Fill,, de l'Air and Linda for the Chain- Me% ead he looked tbe Derby winner ail over, until he earns out again two days altarwardio, when the judge could only piece hinn fourth le a mile nos to Coast Gaa.W, Prime Arthur, sad Vino d. l'Air, so that the suspicion ludulged in that be only best the two Mel through their having " cut ,their own throats"—running the race as though it were • match—we& partly verified. Co.ist Guard's victory was, however, a good per fornianc.e, supposing he only beat Prince Arthur, who was four kerbs behind him and as there me be en question be had im proved vastly since J. Oaluterla disposal of him at York, that worthy mut not be too coolideut the Prince is the superior of the two, however he may hays tried them when they wire together, far it is herd to et over this public race. At Richmond, SanSmat Hell, after the latter had given 71b ad • • to the anoint Little Stag ; then we had some farther in- out doings at Tunbridge by Wild Hurries overthrowing Faith ; and matters after ward, west very smoothly until the October sports at New market commenced. The first meeting was rot aerated at by tray new lights, and there was but a sorry lot in the half-mile Hopeful, with the exception of Fills & l'Air, who, brides earning a Sib penalty, wanted a longer IMO supposing she had recovered the form she ap e = to have lost at Dorcaster. Yamoua, the winner, is so Oyer, for Tomfoolery finished at her bead, and although the latter " akar errand in nearly all her engagements, whether the company was good or bad, it seems strap how she got there, with Olivia, Crytheia, sod Breeze in the field. It 0.8 only be accounted for by Olivia being in the suer interest, and the other two having gone off, which their sunsequent doings made apparent. Olivia showed is very different oilcan when getting third to Ely and Tomato for the Trieenial, a contest that showed Elf a Chanaposse victory to be a fluke, for Tomato was up with him, with Midnight Maas among the placed. Still, the latter appeared set Donessier suable to eta T.Y.C., and as he beat Eiria- Mei here shelf mile almost as pearly as Preece Arthur did is .the seeth, there is so lira to be draws ; sad the least said abort Cleranout's defeat in the Retied the heifer. The hest feria of the meeting was that displayed by Oahu Jack whir be beat Linda several lengths, sad by Canberra when, is ea refit state, he rea away from Durham, for Canibuscan thus showed her superiority to Scottish Chief as plainly as he did in the July, and there was eo " Derby fame like it. At the Second Meeting Tomato proved her running with Ely to be so mistake, as the beat Light sully over the same course, and mach mar than did Persuasion at Doncaster, betraying her superiority over the lot running for the rich Cleaterell. Crab, with a 31b penalty, managed to win, with Planet, a newcomer, second ; as the latter afterwards obtain,' the same position in tie Prenderian to First Flight, Crisis was the beet that showed in the two race., which says little for them, although the French Beatrix and Souchamp may do much better next year, and Fir.t Flight is certain to improve. The minor events showed Attraction, Young Rapid (who ought to have beater Crytheis on the first day), Wenn floc, Linda, Land of the West, Antoinette, Ism, and Frani timer, in their brightest colour, and Signalman preformed is earnest, but only to get defea ted a head by Beadle, who was miaow up for the Prendergast that Signahnan,who gave him slb, must be put co a par with Crisis. In the fieuotou week, Fille de ('Air regained the prestige lost at Dosimeter, by carrying home Ler bib penalty in the Criterion without any difficulty. and from such cattle as Prince Arthur, &reline, Ely, Lied., and Coast Guard ; the latter of whom ran disgracefully bad, and I may say out of all form, his position being so little in keeping with that he obtained at Doncaster when running with Prince Arthur that it would be madness to take cognisance of the performance. At the same time, Fill. de ''Air deserves every credit for her overthrow of Entine, Prises Arthur, and Ely ; for Prince Arthur, with Set 10th, afterwards ran eseond fur the First Clam Nursery to Sheridan, fist 6th, with - the beet of her year until Ireton Jaek, with Bst 1311), in the Second Clam Nursery, ran away from Wandering Minstrel, 78 2lb (well up is the Ca way Young Rapid, Set rib, Faruhunt, Set 71b, and others, when our own fly waved quite ea proudly as the Frenchmen's, although there was so OLIMIIIIIIAOII of Union Jack's mouth. Claxton, Counter sign, Ascham, Attraction Ely (a sister to Ace of Clubs), and O s 'men did all the workl in the chief of the other events ; and, with the exception of Clinton, Ely, and At traction, they showed in their true light for the first time ; but Ely confirii_ed be indifferent doings here by his inability to beat Beatrix more than a head, giving her but 71b. The minor ineetiags at the close of the year have little to do with the juveniles i and but for Seumise's appearance at Bedford, and the improvement manifested by Birkenhead, Cutaway, and Bockland at Liverpool, where Persuasion ran badly, in.,, would be no thing further to note beyond the startling doings of the Irish importatime, i Caroline and Blarney, at Shrewsbury ; and so creditably dd they perform that, although the com pany was not good enough to afford a este Hoe, it was easy to believe they were each equal to Union Jack, as sawerted by the party. Thus, if the Newmarket meetings introduced us to no very great sue beyood Unice Jack, the less important meetings in the autumn were more prolific than usual. Caroline doing sufficient to rival Fille de ''Air as ßlarney did Union Jack ; and this quartet must stand almost by them selves at the top of the tree. From the Goodwood meet ing up to the close of the season not many other" came fresh upon the scene to take first-Maas honour., as out of Idler, Linda, Ely, Apennine, Paris, and Historian, only the latter bad nut been seen out before, although they were searcelz merited, and either totally usfit to run, or "not wanted. First Flight, the half-brother to Kno wsley, Plamt,Bentrix, Soumise, Countersign, Backlend, Yamnna, the Mining= filly, sod Lid, were fresh comers but the best of them did not take much higher honours than the improved Clare mont, Madame Waltoo, Verbena, Selman, Eastramster„ Harvest Mell, Antoinette, Wild unwell', Ostentation, Attraction, Syron, Saragossa, lady of Coverhem Outlaw, Land of the West, Mulberry, Omani, sod Olendusk ; and when handicapping the of this year's two-yr-olds in my sett letter, I shall have very few to put near the top of the tree, in company with such as Fill. de l'Air, Caroline, Cambuscao, Union Jack, asd Blarney.-1 am, Itc..
