I all your attention to the trial way market was rather feeble, but presented no im of Marchal, who has been condemned to five years' portant change in quotations. imprisonment, and 6,000 fr. fine for a pamphlet against the repub:ic. You might think such a ver dict strangely at variance with the usual jurisdiction of the courts. But the secret lies in Marehal, who was formerly editor of the And do People, being strongly suspected of being a socialist in disguise, and having adopted the tone of the L'nion and Opi nion PuUaque, with the view of trying how far the preaching of royalism might be carried under the republic. In the course of his speech, the attorney general says that he does not believe in these sudden conversions, and, at the end, he invites the jury to pluck off the mask which is worn by this rash in truder into the enemy's camp. M. do Falloux has arrived in Paris. In his way through Lyons he was waited upon by a deputation headed by M. Sauzet, formerly president of the Chamber of Deputies, and keeper of the seals under Louis Philippe. In answer to the speech addressed to him by M. Sauzet, M. de Falloux insisted strongly upon the necessity of a concentrated effort to secure compact parliamentary majority in the ensuing elections, wholly iiseep. tiro of the presidential question. A majority constituted with a view to any particular president would, he said, be powerless in the event of their pre sident failing to be elected, or in case of his death after his election. The desirable majority, therefore, was one to be elected purely in the interest of the country; one that would act in concert with the President if they agreed in his policy, but that would resist him and supply his place should he be found wanting in his duties. This speech contains ample confirmation of the contradiction given to the rumour that M. Falloux was to form part of any ministry of Louis Napoleon. The Oriental legation published yesterday the first of a series of bulletins, which are to ho continued monthly on the arrival of the packets from La Plata and Brazil, and to give the news of Rio de La Plata, tam,. thee with the official acts of the government allied against Rosa. The Havre journals announce the arrest yesterday in that town of M. Leon Salve, formerly chef de battalion of the national guard (of Sotteville. The cause of the arrest is not stated, but M. Salmi is noted for his extreme demeeratical opinions. The .Ikhbor of Algiers, of the sth, states that a report was current of an engagement having taken place near Aumale, between a column commanded by Colonel Bourbaqui and the Kabyles. No details are given, nor is the affair represented as one of any great importance.' Accounts have been received of the corvette La Capricieuse up to the end of June last. After having cruized along the coasts of Corea she returned to Macao, from whence she was to proceed to Tonquin to claim the missionaries ho had been arrested by order of the grand mandarin of Kecho, of the par ticulars of which the captain had been informed by the French consul at Shanghai. For some time past an increased severity has been manifested towards the Christians by the authorities of Cochin-Chinu, Thibet, Laos, and Tonquin ; some missionaries had been executed, others arrested, and their fate had caused the greatest uneasiness. It had been an nounced that a second French vessel, the Serieuse, was expected in the Chinese seas, and her arrival was anxiously looked for, as the presence of the French flag had always been found to produce an excellent effect. GERMANY. VIENNA, Orr. 5. What the pressing necessities and urgent de mands of the merchants and manufacturers of the empire could not effect is likely to be accomplished by the angry feelings created by the treaty of com merce between Prussia and Hanover, and the inten sity of the desire to frustrate every plan by which the former; power can regain respect and esteem in Germany. The new tariff for Austria is to be pub lished immediately. It has been laid before the Iteirltsrath, accepted by them with some slight mo difications, and has already received the imperial sanction. The Reieha Zeituny announces these facts this morning in one of those articles which are ge nerally considered official. Of course it was not to be expected that the Austrian premier would quietly submit to a union between Hanover and the Zollve rein of Prussia, which, if honestly and intelligently carried out, must prove the death-blow of all the grand plans put forward on commercial grounds by his coadjutor, Baron Bruck, and supported by him , self solely on account of their political advantages ; of course; Prince Schwarzenberg could not allow the grand project for an Austro-German Customs Union extending over all Germany to be knocked on the head without a struggle. Both at home and abroad the machinery at his disposal was instantly set to work to clear the ground for a general attack on the commercial policy of Prussia in general, and on the new treaty in particular. One of t he threads in his hands has already set a puppet dancing. The Saxon government has refused to sign the treaty, and has urged upon the other members of the Zollverein to deliberate maturely before accepting a measure which may prove pernicious. It points at the same time to the advantages to be derived from the adoption of the plans proposed to the Dresden Conference, which were nothing leas than a stepping stone to the Austrian Customs Union. Saxony is the pawn, or say the knight, put forward by . Schwareenberg to support his advance upon l'russia. Ile has sown division in the Zollverein camp. His next step is to hurry forward the long delayed tariff; which is to introduce a change into the principles on which the commercial legislation of the Austrian empire has been hitherto guided. The prohibitive duties of the old tariff are to be abolished. I ought to add that the principle of prohibition only is to be abolished, and that the high protective duties which arc to be maintained will amount to a virtual prohibition of many articles. This tariff is to be the bait to the northern manufacturers. The Rhine provinces, Silesia, Saxony, and the Weser districts, are to be tempted into a union with Austria by this promise of high protection—a protection, no doubt, that would prove highly productive to many branches of industry at present in their infancy in Austria. The agriculturists of the empire are tempted by the prospect of the populous markets of central and western Germany, and to those governments which have derived a financial advantage from their con nexion with the Zullvcrein, in consequence of the small consumption of colonial articles—as in Ba eerie, Wurtemberg, and Baden—a method of divid ing the revenue to bederived from the customs duties was proposed which should leave them in the posses sion of their advantages. With the abolition of all internal harriers to-trade in Germany, other measures of financial importance were proposed, such as the tobacco monopoly, which at present exists only in Austria; Saxony, and Bavaria, and one of two of the minor states, were gained over by I'rinee Sehwarcen berg at Dresden; and for some months afterwards there was every prospect that the Zollverein would be exploded, and the ground thus cleared for the Austrian union. Suddenly, and most unexpectedly, there arrives the intelligence of the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between Prussia and Ilanover. Absorbed by political questions, distracted by the expected liberation of Kossuth from Xutayah, deeply engaged in the best method of disposing of the Aus trian constitution of the 4th of March, and intro ' dueing absolute government ; daily deliberating with his Russian colleagues on an absolute alliance, in cluding,of course, Prussia, and contemplating perhaps the downfall of republicanism and constitutional government in Europe, Prince Schwarzenberg finds too late almost that one of tho members of his pro posed absolute league is successfully pursuing a com mercial policy which his advisers tell him must inev itably draw still closer the connection between the north of Germany and England, and, what is still worse, add overwhelmingly to the political advan tages of defeated and crushed Prussia. He finds that he has lost the battle without having taken the field. There is, however, still ono move left him, and that on ground which has invariably proved favour able to the Austrian policy. It is the Frankfort Diet. Baron Nell, the commercial representative of Austria in that body, has been detained in Vienna until the completion of the tariff, in order to carry with him the best possible proof, as the Reich. Zeituny says, of the honest intentions of the Austrian govern ment in the matter of the customs union. My former statement, that the commercial question would be strongly agitated in the bosom of the Diet, is thus confirmed. The Journal des Muds states that the number of foreigners residing in the department of the Seine, who have applied for pertnis &Your, exceeds :30,000; ; but, that only 20,000 have been gmnte( ; as it required some time to investigate the case of each applicant to ascertain whether there is any cause fur refusal. The permis were in the first instance, says this journal, made ont for three or six months only, susceptible of renewal; but fur some days post they have been issued without auy limit to time being affixed. The number of expulsions of foreigners does not up to this time, adds the IlAats, exceed 200. The statement etlit eludes by mentioning that a further delay has been . granted to enable foreigners to apply for per missions of residence, who have not already done so, but that it will expire next week, and that then the clause of expulsion will be enforced against such re sidents as shall not have complied with the order of the prefect. This is a gratuitous assumption of the journal. According to the terms of the order, re sident foreigners (mere visitors are altogether ex cluded from the effects of the regulation), who do not comply with the order, are liable to expulsion, but it is very improbable that the order will be enforced, except in eases where so severe a measure may be required with a view to pablic security. The following is the letter of M. Sartin, to the editor of the Preose, alluded to above : TO TUE EDITOR OF THE PilEBBB. Citizen Bditor,—Under tho preceding government the gendarmerie was instituted to defend the liberty and the life of the citizens. It appean that at present it has a very different mission; judge yourself from the recital of the following fens, of which I guarantee you the exactitude and the authenticity. We were yesterday (Sunday) twelve or fifteen at table, in the house of • citizen of Commentry (Allier), who is neither an inn-keeper, nor an eating-house keeper, nor a coffee-house keeper, nor even a trader. We were consequently in • private house. The , dinner terminated, we were about to leave In groups , of two or three, in order to afford no pretext to the polies of the p lace for tormenting us; when all at once • brigadier of gendarmerie fell in the midst of us like a bomb, and addressing the master of the house, said, " Gentlemen, you are violating the prefect's deem, which forbids political meetings. In consequence, I declare to you that I shall , cause your house to be surrounded, and I forbid yon'and Tour guests to leave it without a new order from me." 'That said, the man withdrew, and immediately placed two gen darmes at each of the two outer doors. Judge of the pro found stupefaction of all of us ! To be imprisoned in that , way! imprisoned at home—in our house! Into which that gaatlemen—gendarme though he was—had not the right to enter, it seemed to us, without the presence of • magistrate of the judicial or administrative order. Agana done! that was too strange—it was not serious. Let us see if they would dare—l who know that, since the circulars of Hautpoul, messieurs les gendarmes dare all, checked my friends, and thinking i n m y naireft, that I had found an excellent means of preventing any painful collision, said to them " I am a repr esen t a ti ve o f th e peop l e . By a luck yl chance I have with me the little thing which proves it. Let me alone attempt to leave. Messieurs les gendarmes will no doubt respect my inviolability. I will profit by it to demand from the mayor the explanation of • measure which surprises me, and renders me indignant as much as you. It can only, however, be the effect of a mis understanding, of false reports, of orders wrongly under stood, and badly executed. Wait for me a few minute, ; be calm until my return ; I answer for it that I will have you released." So saying, I took my hat, prodseed my medal, and I opened the door. " You cannot leave," immediately said the two gendarmes on duty, presenting drawn swords at me. " But I am a representative, sad bars is my medal. You know our pairing's. Let us per. I want to see your mayor." " You shall not leave—our orders are the same for ad.. Besides, you are en ewi ge, and are no longer • representative. Remain, or if not— . " And joining gestures to the menace, these honest agents of the public force col lared me, pushed me back with violence, and endeavoured to prevent my passage. I was about to protest as well as I could against this outrage to my dignity and cha racter as an elected of the people, against this violence done to my person, when the worthy chief of these two men, the brigmlier, came furiously towards us, his sword in hi ; hand, sad cried, as if it were the most simple thing i n th e world "Gendarmes, frappes, sabrez !" And at th e same magniat, anothei MAI awed ma, and three swords wan Baron Nell's instructions are said to be of a very stringent kind. They may not perhaps include the communication of the deep annoyance which is felt at what is said to be the " secret blow of a sham friend." But the Austrian commercial envoy will be instructed to declare the Zollverein itself illegal according to the federal law. A hint of this kind is conveyed in the Trieste Gazette, a journal which supports the Austrian commercial plans with much intelligence and vigour. Its usual intelligence is some*fat •clouded, or it would not for an instant support such a view. The federal act does not pre clude the establishment, within the confederation, of separate unions for commercial purposes ; it only ex pressly reserves the question of legislation on this point for future deliberation. It is not Prussia's fault that the deliberations which have taken place have produced no result. Until the publication of the now Austrian tariff; there ems' trd, moreover, utterly distinct principles of commercial legislation in the North and South of Germany, nei ther of which could, by any possibility, be adopted by the whole. Even now the interests of the north and south are so different, that when the commercial question comes before the Diet, no thing but the most shameless disregard of the rights of individual states, or the most barefaced intrigue, I can succeed in establishing a unanimous decision to adopt a uniform commercial policy in the confedera tion, such as that proposed by Austria. I have looked at the question only from a German point of view. To the English trade with the continent the adoption of the Austro-German commercial union would prove most ruinous, as the tariff will at once show when it is published. I shall take care to procure an early copy new " Gemeinde Rath" has been sworn in in Freeburg. It =tains among its members three Jews. Religious faith does not bar the road to any government office. A reform of the Austrian Bank is in prospect. Much stricter regulations are proposed to control the emission of batik notes, and measures arc to •be adopted for the better equalisation of the amount of notes issued with the value of the bullion in the bank coffers. It is reported that a special commission has been appointed, to report tosthe Minister of Finance upon the proposals that may be made for effecting reduc tions in the expenditure of the state. VIENNA, Orr. C. I have just heard, upon good authority, that the Minister of the Interior, 1)r. Bach, has sent in his resignation. It is not yet known whether it has been accepted, and many doubt that the Emperor will be allowed by his aavisurs to dismiss from his councils a member who has proved himself so will ing and useful a tool as Dr. •Bach. Various motives are ascribed for this step ; the most incredible of all is, that the Minister of the Interior is suddenly con science-stricken at the extent of anarchy and confu sion which exists throughout the whole administra tion, and isdisinclined longer to aid the maintenance of the present systematic want of system in the go vernment. If this motive, notwithstanding its apparent incredibility, should prove the true one, yonr readers who are acquainted with Dr. Bach's private and ministerial career will at once be able to forma more correct idea of the abyss into which Austria must be sinking. The resignation of ])r. Bach, if it is accepted, brings to mind the rats deserting an un seaworthy ship. KOSSUTII. [By Electric Televaph.] SOUTRAMPTON, Tins DAY, NOON, The Mayor of Southampton has just received the following ►etter from Kossuth, dated Marseilles, Sept. 29 : Sir,—The government of the Ottoman empire gave me an asylum and hospitality, and, though afterwards it had to yield to the presumptuous annoyance of its mighty ene mies, and to convert the asylum into a prison, still it yielded; but with regret it felt deeply the disgrace, and at the first favourable moment shook off, in the most dignified manner, the disgraceful bonds. It was Turkey who acted so. The people of England raised their powerful voice to claim the vindication of the right of humanity, offended in myself and in my associates. The government of Great Britain proved to be a dignified organ of the people of England's generous sentiments. In the United States of America the people, the Congress, and the government shared with equal generosity in ' the high-minded resolution to restore mu to freedom, and my freedom to activity. They sent over a steam frigate for that purpose, and most generously offered the protection of their glorious flag. Thus acted England and the United States. We stopped at Marseilles. I wished to visit England; the lively sentiment of gratitude pointed out to me as a duty to go there to thank them fur the high minded sympathy I and the cause I represent were honoured with. So I requested permission to pass through France to England directly, without asking leave to stay in any place, because I know the character of the present republican French government. and declaring to be ready to follow any loyal and honourable advice the government would feel convenient to give me for my rapid passage through France. ' M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte refused the requested per mission to pass through that French republic which did him the honour to elect him to the high 'whin where his sacred sworn duty is to be the thief guardian of the democratic constitution of his country, which pro claimed to the world to have fur principles, freedom and fraternity. Monsieur Buonaparte was himself once an exile, and may yet become an exile once more. France was then not a republic, still it was an asylum for oppressed humanity. I claimed no asylum; I de sired to pass—and the once exile, now the president of a glorious nation's great republic, refused. It is not I, I hope, to whom before the tribunal of public opinion throughout the world this refusal will prove to be a disgrace. I wished that no one should remember it at the time when perhaps M. Bonaparte will once more be an exile himself. In no ease will the refusal of the French government impede me to fulfil the high. felt duty to thank the people of England for its generous sympathy. I am still resolved to land at Southampton. Sir, I will entreat Captain Long, of the Mississippi, to hasten me down to Gibraltar. I wish and hope to find there some means of conveyance to your free and glorious shores, were it but for one hour's stay. I felt bound to address to you, honoured sir, this contniunicatioa, as a proof of my respect and esteem. Having the honour to sign, with the moat particular consideration, myself to be, Sir, your most obsequious servant, L. KOSSUTH. To Andrews, Esq., Mayor to the city of Southampton. The following gentlemen have been invited by the Mayor of Southampton to the Kossuth banquet, viz. Lord Dudley Stuart, the Lord Mayor of London, the Hon. Mr. Walker, tho Sheriffs of London, Mr. Gilpin, common councilman of London; Mr. Wire, alderman of London; Mr. Nicholay, and the Mayors of Portsmouth, Winchester, Leicester, and Northampton. The Mayor and corporation of Winchester have resolved to present' an address to Kos suth, and have obtained permission of the Mayor of South ampton to present it at his worAip's chateau, near Win chester, while Kossuth is staying there. The Mayor of Southampton is a coaclunaker, sod keeps a large establish ment. llis emplo&s are about ' Lk in number. Kossuth wiil be invited to vlsit this establishment to receive a demon stration front them in his favour. They have resolved to mark in the most emphatic manner possible how the Ilungarian patriot should be treated by Engli-h workmen. The fol lowing is a literal translation of an extract from a letter in the Magyar language, received from Paris in South ampton : Dear Sir, — What every good patriot bad wished fur so long and so rdently,Kossuth's liberation, has been achieved at hot. It was my wish to present hint personally nty con gratulations, and to offer to him my readiness to serve him, but the police refused me the passport to London—that is to say, I must take the condition under which alone I could get the passport, not to return more." The Jupiter, from Malta and Gibraltar, and:which is now due at Southampton, was off Algiers on the Ist instant, deeply laden and with the wind in her teeth. It is possible that she put into Carthagcna for coals. The Iberia mail packet from Gibraltar is due at Southampton on the 14th. Her proper time for leaving Gibraltar is the sth. If the Jupiter and Iberia arc at all delayed at Gibraltar, the Mis sissippi will probably arrive there before they leave. The Jupiter will come direct front Gibraltar to England. The Iberia will call at several ports on her way. It is stated that official information has been received that the Missis sippi will not come to England, that Kossuth', intention when he left France was to reacts Southampton from Gib raltar in a British packet, and that the American frigate will go at once to New York with the rest of the refugees on board. LElCESTER.—Yeatcritay a special meeting of the town council of this borough was held at the '1 own-hall to consider the propriety of congratulating Kossuth on his arrival in England. On the motion of Alderman W. Biggs, seconded by Alderman Fielding, an address was unanimously agreed to, and a deputation (consisting of the mayor, town clerk, the mover and seconder of the ad dress, and such other members of the council as choose to accompany them) was appointed to present the same on his arrival in England. LATEST FOREIGN EXCHANGES. PAWS DOCIitSPL THE GREAT EXHIBITION. As Tuesday last was the greatest Tuesday, so was yesterday the greatest Friday of the Exhibition. Nearly 47,000 persons visited it in the course of the day, includ ing all ranks and almost all countries. and a very larre num ber of holders of season tickets. The interior hail a 11106 a brilliant appearance, filled as it was with well dressed people, the exhibitors were all at their posts, and accomplished per formers presided at each of the chief musical instruments. The gentleman who performed on Mr. Erard's grand piano was surrounded by a crowd of admirers, and at the conclu sion of his performance was greeted with a TI gular round of cheering.

Captain Ommanney, who In troduced this specimen of Polar humanity, also exhibited es collection of play-bills of the various performances with which the officers and crews of the discovery ships hail amused themselves while locked up in the ice. Specimens illustrative of Mr. Digby Wyatt's forthemning work on tha contents of the Crystal false were exhibited for the first time yesterday in the Indian department. Some of them are the original drawings and some lithographs, hut all received much notice and commendation. There were no schools yesterday . nor many organised parties, although one or two signal flags might be seen in the nave, such being the in.thorl by which the leader of a rustic brigade gathers his flock together. The cam. , pony lingered until the very last moment, and required a good deal of ringing to get them out. The police were a t i, l last obliged to form n two lines and gently press the re treating crowds towards the various means of exit. The ! exhibitors have declared their intention of assembling at five o'clock to-morrow evening in the nave to sing, " God save the Queen" in chorus. We believe that, although the committee can take no notice officially of these musical intentions, means will be taken to render the monster chorus as musical as it will no doubt Ire loyal and sincere.

Ciissagnac's article in the Conatitraionnel is ac cepted by the various factions of the parliamentary majority as a trumpet-blast of defiance from the Riper:. The daily war carried on against socialism is for a moment hushed, while the literary forces of the legislative power turn all their tiro against the adventurous policy ascribed to the President. In a war between the two powers the socialists, friendly to neither, would maintain a grim neutrality while arming to oppose the conqueror. Cassagnac says the President will die at his post. The words of Dijon are recalled, that France shall not perish in his hands. Right and lett throngh this famous article flashes contempt fur the burgraves, who are styled a dozen of intriguers, substituting the sovereignty of their cabal for the sovereignty of France, and ready to become the ministers of Beelzebub if Beelzebub gave portfolios. Naturally such language is far from agreeing with the stomach of the Wbetts, which to• day for the first time shows serious hostility to the re-election of the President. " When people dare to affirm," says the burgrave organ, " that M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is to be the elect of everybody, they forget that, according to the constitution, he can the elect of no one. Our confidence that the Cense/to/Sonia will fail in this adventurous campaign is founded upon a double guarantee —upon the good sense and discretion of the country, sovereign and definitive judge of this vital question, and upon the honoured loyalty of M. Louis Bonaparte, who has re peated, upon a memorable occasion, the obligation of his oath to respect the constitution. This solemn declaration may be forgotten by his friends, but we trust that it will be remembered by himself." Ac cording to the fashion of jealous and nearly-matched rivals, when the blood of one is up th e other is ob served to hesitate, so the the tone of the parliamen tary papers betrays a certain faiutncss of resolution, which is no doubt a good deal the result of disunion.

The Ordre smothers its anger, and calmly argues that a sincere fusion of the tour sections of the party of order is possible for the elec tion of the Assembly although not for that of the President. The former, it thinks, will take place not sooner than April. M. Alfred Nettemeut deems it incumbent on the President to give some distinct ez planation as to the course he contemplates pursuing, after the article of the Conelitastionnel. All the organs under the influence of M. Leon Faucher talk of the reports of a ministerial crisis as absurd. But while these reports are based upon so natural a ground as a total contradiction between the leading government papers, a semi-official assurance . of con cord implies concession upon one side or the other • in this instan c e it i s su pp ose d th a t M.

For the present time, at toast-cannot reconcile the two things, loyalty and liberalism, which in an Englishman go hand in hand, nor conceive how respect, and even lave, fora monarch, may be compatible with an ardent zeal for human progress and popular development. It is not necessary to consult a foreigner as to his opinions on the subject ; we find them ready written in the Times, which, on all questions of exclusively foreign policy, thinks and speaks as foreigners do. At home it may echo the views of my Lord GREY, my Lord CLARENDON, or Lord ABF.RDEEN ; but abroad it is the echo o f sentiments of SellWAßZEN ittiti, of MANTEUFFEL, or of M. B %nom& Accord ingly it highly disapproves of all tributes of respect for k ; and because this HastebEN of Hungary was driven by the treachery and tyranny of the Austrian government to defy it, nod stand in arms against it, as Itturozs did, he is scouted as the democrat and the radical; nay, the records of his private life are overhauled by those police spies who furnish the Times with information, in order that it may daub the dagger of its public attack by a little of the poison of private slander. All these calumnious attacks were too fully an assertd when they were first brought forward to need exposure again.. The universal respect, and almost adoration of his countrymen, the pride and eu;:erness with which the aristocratic Hungarians received him u thc:r colleague sufficiently test the value attached to such slanders by the highest and 104:4 informed clam in Hungary. 'We therefore con fine our remarks to his political character. Nothing can he more sophistical or unjust than to measure Kosserit by the same scale with which one measures the intensity of political opinion in France o in England. To find any comparison in England applicable to Hungary, so must go back two centu ries. Went a monarch of Englund to make ismaitutional concessions one day to his hubject4, and prepare an army the next to enable him to withdraw them, we should be glad to know what difearence there would be between constitutionalist and democrat anionc,-4 us. 'them were many men during the great English and French re‘olutions, whose grand principle was a monarchic constitution; but ne ither nor LOUN could be true to any constitution. Their words could not be trusted. The falsity of the monarchs in consequence turned every constitutionalist into a republican. It was unavoidable. Regard the French of the proacnt day, republicans also without either dminiig or intending it. The blunders and bad faith of their mouartlei have precipitated them into it. It is the billy of monarchs that makes republicans, as it is the folly of republicans that makes a people nionarthist again. ithe accusution brought against Kll4 , l'l'll, tlwrefore, of being democratic, is mere tuaddle. We see in him the uncompromising foe of absolutism, the rival of ILiiirmv, out the copy of 'lllisms.woon or FRUMT. . _ At the name time we may he permitted to regret that litisst-rn was brought to Marseilles, that he was induced to ask a favour of the French government, or to express any opinion on its conduct or its polities. IC we find it difficult to place ourselves in a fit yogi tum to judge of the affairs of Hungary, a Itungarian tau scantly be a competent judge of the »tide of par ties in Western Europe. In Hungary, politics are still to he found in a state of sentiment. In the west, with tlur exception of some spots in Ireland, pdities no longer survive in that form, but have ad rani'sd to something far more practical and sub stantial. We have no poetry in our views of pub. lie lilt:airs ; and one of liosserleN addresses, though admirably adapted to the Hungarian ear, could nut hut appear rhapsodical to ours. In iiiklition to the difference between the Magyar and the Anglo-Saxon mind. it is evident that a walled prison in the centre of Asia Minor is not a favourable situation for the study of European poli tics. What numbers of the Journal Ilya I.o.ials or of the Times reached the illustrious cap• tire we know nut, but we will be bound to say they were rare 'and intermittent. We ourselves, in this centre of enlightenment, read the French papers even• morning, and arc aided in our comprehension of * them by correspondents of various parties and talents; and yet the view is like looking into a kaleidoscope•. pretty and part . icoloured, but without an atom of knowledge or certainty to be derived from it. Kosseiii touched the shores of a republic. He was simple enough to address the people as republicans. And for this he is straight set down as a democrat and a provoker of rebellion. A man must be (Eprus as well as Dares to deal at present with French politics in the French language; and ll:mown' we take to be neither. We should in fact nut be surprised if the illustrious Magyar made at first similar mistakes here, or if on his drat landing he treated his Most Worshipful the AIA TOR to some Oriental trope, far too inflated to enter the ear of city magistrates. But what of that ? We do not expect from the Magyar any of those nice distinctions between democrat and entliditUtiolltlita that Mr. Gist TONE might lay down, or the Times, in alternate numbers, illus trate. Neither are we likely to find in Kos aunt one of those civilised Orientals who have walked our host e t e a4s and frequented our schools. Ile is a man of conviction, and of that strong local character that must betray itself. He will hero be welcomed and addressed by men of many shades of opinion. The moderate whig will compli ment him, as well as the stronger democrat. Nor at the first blush is the Magvar likely to dis tinguish betwixt them. It would be most unfair then to run away with his first words as the tory prints arc must ready to do, in order to represent the defender of Hungary as the future perturb'', tor of Europe. We trust that KOSSUTII has friends to preserve him as much as possible from these but too natural mistakes. lie enjoys at present the first European reputation for practical liberalism. In order to keep which and extend it amidst a public so sensible and so practical as ours, he must give proofs of sagacity as well as of zeal. • The prosecution brought by Austrian malevolence against Kumuth was the malversation in his younger days of an orphan or education fund, something like St. Cross, SSW like hundreds of oar own institutions. Perversious of auch funds to private use were unfortunately as common ander the old government of Hungary as under our own cou.tdutional repose. And Kossuth did what every Hun garian doea, but quickly redeemed the fault by voluntary Paribetion. Ora imaginative writers have dealt largely in the adventures of a gentleman in quest of one thing or another. We had long ago " Caleb. in search of a wife," and at a more recent date a " gentleman in search of a religion." Why do not some of our living authors take up " gentlemen in search of a grievance?" The annals of the protectionist party would supply them with ample materials. Thu more intelligent among them are indeed ' growing tired of the pursuit. They begin to regard it as something akin to the search for the philoso pher's stone, or the elixir r,t,r ; and though they I will not confess they despair, betray manifest reluc tance to hunt on any longer. Thus Mr. HENLEY lately told his constituents, that he bad been indus triously toiling to collect such statistics as would show that the labourers arc worse off under free trade than they were under protection, but had not succeeded in Boding them. the revenue returns for the year and quarter ended the 10th of the present mouth, and the returns of the Beard of Trade for the first eight months of II 1601, erill not mil'. the hopes of our grievance losiscs. The revenue returns show that the national in come, notwithstanding the continued reduction of taxation, keeps steadily at the high point it has maintained of late years. There is an increase of 77,0721. on the year, and a decrease of 1,1971. on the quarter: both are nominal; bat in the present mood of the more rabid protectionists—galled as they are by the listlessness and hopeless inactivity of their ', leaders—it would not surprise us to hear them in , (erring the decadence of the country, and raising a melancholy howl, on the strength ot the enormous deficit of 1,1971. on the quarter. Of the increased returns from Crown lands and the decrease under the head miscellaneous nothing need be said; they are inconsiderable, mere results of that oscillation that is always in progress. In like manner the increase in the receipts from the property . tax may be set off against the decline in the receipts from other taxes. rho falling off' in the stamp duties is as near as may be one-third of what the Chancellor of the Exchequer anticipated. It is to the Customs and Excise that we must look as the true index of the condition of the national resources. In the former there is an increase of 54,4671. on the year, and 83,1901. on the quarter : in the latter of 343,01ti1. on the veer and 36,5111. on the quarter. In the Customs the reduc tions in the coffee, timber, and sugar duties hare this year come into play ; and the Excise continued to collect a portion of the duty on bricks, now abo lished, in the October quarter of last year. More conclusive evidence of the stability of the national resources or the efficacy of a free-trade policy to make the most of them for revenue purposes with the least amount of pressure to the taxpayer it is needless to look for. The remarkable increase in the Post-office receipts speaks volumes for the increased facilities afforded ' to communication in matters of business, and to the nerd that our expanding commerce has of them. The retains of trade and navigation for the first eight months of 1851 amply corroborate the in ferences suggested by the revenue returns. They show a steady increase in all the leading articles of manufacture for exportation. The declared value of the cotton manufactures entered by the yard (exclu sive of lace and patent net) exported in the first eight months of 1849 was 12,546,7921.•, for the same months of lax, it was 13,437,3691. ; in the present year it has risen to 15,112.7281. The linen returns tell the same tale :-2,039,362!. for the first eight months of 1849; 2,331 , 698!. for the same period of 1850; and 2,317,527/, for the first eight months of the present year. The exports of woollen manufac tures fur this year aro stationary as compared with those of I KA), but in both years therein an excess over those of 1819. Silk exports, which were greater in 1850 than in 18W, have th is year contiuued to in crease. The exports of glass and leather manufac tures and earthenware also continue steadily to in creaec. The shipping retnrns deserve the especial attention of Mr. LIEDRGE FREDERICK YOCKG. It appears from the table which we subjoin that the ships be ' longing to the United Kingdom and its dependencies which cleared outwards from this country during the first eight months of 1831 exceeded, both in number and aggregate tonnage, those which cleared out in the same period of 1850; and that the number and tonnage of those which cleared out in 1850 was also in excess of 1849. A less number (with less of aggre gate tonnage) of this clam were entered inwards in 1850 than in 1849; but in 1851 the entrances sur passed in aggregate tonnage those of 1819, and nearly equalled them in number. Matters standing thus the prospects of our shipping interest cannot be very desperate; and the aspect of atliiirs in Spain promises further improvement. - _ ENTERED INWARDS. rirat 8 months of Ships.

The consumption of coffee and cocoa boa been greater in the first eight months of 18:il than in the first eight months of 1+450 ; the consumption of sugnr has been greater in 1851 than in IS-19, and only a shade less than in 1850; the consumption of tea has been much greater in 1851 than either in 1850 or 1819. The consumption of tobacco, too, has slightly increased. And, above all, the steadily increasing amount of cattle and sheep, of eggs mid cheese, and of cured provisions brought into our market, shows that sub stantial edibles, as well as " slops" and luxuries, are consumed to a much greater amount—that is by much greater numbers—than they were a few years ago. In the face of these facts it is difficult to imagine to what subterfuge protectionists can have recourse. There is, indeed, a story of a sick man whose doctors attempted to persuade him he was in no danger, ad dressing a friend who called upon him, "here I am dying of a hundred gond symptoms," and perhaps they may try to press this apologue into their ser vice. lint figures cannot be suspected of flattery, though doctors may.

A correspondent who dates " Gloucester, Friday," writes as follows : 't Some extraordinary circum.tanees have just happened here, which I hasten to communicate. They are almost incredible, but for the fact that the authority is undoubted, and the circumstances are such as have induced the Admi ralty to order an official inquiry, which is now being pro ceeded with. These arc the tarts :—Last Sunda) afternoon Mrs. Russell, a lady living at Wootton, near this city, ob served something fall in the garden while at dinner. On sending out the gardener, he found it to be a ,mall balloon, iu the car of which was a card bearing the following inscrip tio°:— " ' Erebus, 112 W. long. 71 deg. N. lut. September, 3, ltl3l. Blocked in.' " The matter was at first looked upon an a hoax, but sub sequent events led to a communication being made with tho Admiralty, who sent for the, balloon and card, and imme diately on their receipt sent over Captain Beechy, U.N., to Gloucester, with another officer, to make inquines. Theso inquiries are now being prosecuted, Captain Beeehy having been here at Wootton examining all parties resident there. The balloon is believed to be of exactly a similar kind to those sent out with the Erebus when sho sailed from Eng land." REPRESENTATION OF EAST RETFORD.—A rumour has been in circulation that Sir Charles Napier is likely to become a candidate for the representation of tho hundred of Bassetlaw, vacant by Captain Duncombe's elec tion for the East Riding. We arc assured that there is no probability of such an event, the Hun. W. E. Buncombe having made a canvass, the result of which would render any opposition futile.—Lincoln Mercury. REPRESENTATION OF LINUSEY.—Mr. R. A. Chris topher, M.P. for North Lincolnshire, in a letter to his con stituents, contradicts the rumour that in consequence of Hr. Banks Stanhope having accepted a requisition to become a candidate at the next election, it was his (Mr. Christopher's) intention to resign. lie considers that to abandon his con stituency at such a crisis would be a base dereliction of public duty."—Doncaster Gazette.

ACCIDENT ON TIIE 11.110NE.—DEATII OF A YouNG ENOLISIMAN.—A letter dated Marseilles, Oct. 6, says, " You remember, of course, the old bridge of St. Esprit, the existence of which is a disgrace to the French govern , ment. It offers an obstruction to the course of the river, similar to that of old London-bridge when the tide was on the ebb. When there is much water in the Rhone it effects a complete rapid, so that great attention and dexterity are Men required 'to shoot' the arch ; the passage under which is at all times attended with more or less danger. On the occasion to which I allude (the 4th inst.), the river, swollen by recent rain, was barely practicable, and yet they neg lected to lower the chimney of the steamer on passing. One of the crew seeing the danger (for the helms man was unable to keep us in the centre) ran for ward, but he was too late. The chimney struck the arch, broke in the middle, and fell abaft among a number of pas sengers, who had assembled at its base for heat and shelter, for the morning was cold and windy. Several English families were among the number, chiefly young girls, whose mothers happened to be at a distant part of the ve s sel. The confusion caused by the accident was very great, and it was increased by the smoke and soot which enveloped those in the i.eighbourbood of the funnel. As soon as it cleared away, it appeared that a fine boy, the son of M. Benedict the composer, was dangerously wounded. An English phy sician, who was on board, gave every Jr., intoner, and the un fortunate youth was landed at Avignon, but spite of every exertion he expired during the evening front the injuries ha received." had the tate tool srdo Via Dul two enti nan OCT( and the 'inc ta - a - 11 ; of p wed TI of tti of th anth , heals the s Elle the I filled DCA% part) dew' erril Com Croi Ben Ed's man wee clot) crox voci the moo the _ . folio shor
