COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE AND NAVAL AND MILITARY JOURNAL—This popular periodical, which has now been established above a quarter of a century, embraces subjects of such extensive variety and of such powerful intere at as must render it scarcely less acceptable to readers in general than to the members of those professions for whose use it is more particularly intended. Independently of a succession of Original Papers on innumerable interesting subjects, Per sonal Narratives, Historical Incidents, Correspondence, &c., each number comprises Biographical Memoirs of Eminent Officers of all branches of service, Reviews of New Publica tions, either immediately relating to the Army or Navy, or involving subjects of utility or interest to members of either, Full Reports of Trials by Courts Martial, Distribution of the Army and Navy, General Orders, Circulars, Promotions, Appointments, Births, Marriages, Obituary, &c., with all the Naval and Military luelligencet of the Month. learnt from the recent dcmoustrations P The first thing that strikes us is that the North did nothing until Brown was executed, and then it began to make speeches. This certainly does not give us any exalted notion of their zeal or determination of purpose. The idea of the Boston people prepar ing before-hand a great meeting, engaging speakers and seats, designing inscriptions against the day that Brown should be executed, and when the telegraph brought the news of the event, rushing to the hall and listening to flowery speeches, as if horrified by a sudden crime, mixes something of the ludicrous with the tragic occurrence. This meeting and other demonstra tions throughout the state are given at great length in the Boston papers. The most important took place in the Legislature, where motions to adjourn were made, both in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Strong expressions were used. One speaker compared Virginia to a pirate ship, and thought that slaves should be delivered on land as well as at sea. Another considered the Governor of Virginia guilty of wilful murder, and thought that the hanging of Brown would be th e h ang i ng of the whole State of Virginia. In the end, how ever, both houses refused to adjourn. Then came a. meeting at "`Tremont Temple." Various mottos from the speeches of John Brown, Washington, Lafayette, and Jefferson were hung round the walls. The Virginians were declared to have made military prepara Brown's execution, though there was no foe - 1171 "ivh - a't they found in their, own. consciences. Goternor Wise was Pontius Pilate, and President Buchanan was Herod. The Vir ginians had said, " Deliver unto us• the Barabbas of slavery, and Ist John Brown be, crucified.". After this piece of profane blasphemy, the Rev. I. Silla Martin said he would use the homceopathic prin ciple, " Let those that live by the sword die by the svw ord." Mr. Griffin thought the meeting had done great injustice to a historical character. He must take upon himself to defend Pontius Pilate from any comparison with Governor Wise. The chair man should apologise to the memory of Pontius Pilate. (Applause.) Then the military prepara tions of Virginia became the object of derision. The militia at Brown's execution " had flint locks to their guns in the year 1859. If they wanted to shoot a northern fanatic they could not get their j g o u h n off." A n s Brow nhma broughtd great a u t g h h e t e firstr it was b re ee related h-loa d t i h n a g t musket into Virginia, and that the ignorant abo rigines of that State thought that it must be broken. The Rev. John Pierpoint repeated some heroic couplets of his own composition, among which was the following. Alluding to " the South," he ex claims,— T HE ECONOMIC LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 6, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, London. 'Established 1823. The lowest rates of Premium on thQ Mutual System.

I will men tion some little matters particularly applicable to little property concerns in another place. " I recently received a letter from my wife, from near Philadelphia, dated Nov. 22, by which it would seem that she was about giving up the idea of seeing me again. I had written her to come on if she felt equal to the undertaking, but I do not know that she will get my letter in time. It was on her own account chiefly that I asked her to stay back. At first I had a most strong desire to see her again, but there appeared to be very serious objections; and should we never meet in this life, I trust that she will in the end be satisfied it was for the best at least, if not most for her comfort. I enclosed in my last letter to her a draft of 50 dol lars from John Jay, made payable to her order.

The reflection that a wise and merciful, as well as just and holy God, rules not only the affairs of this world, but of all worlds, is a rock to sot our feet upon under all cir cumstances—even those more severely trying ones into which our own feelings and wrongs have placed us.

DAVIES and Co. ; and the following is their advice to intending assurers, with a postscript to all who are assured already :—When about to insure your life, pay little or no regard to the amount per cent. of annual premium charged, for a £5OO policy in one office will yield 'with its accumulations absolutely more than a £l,OOO policy and accumulations in another. But, as your money cannot be recalled, test an office by the following questions, and refuse to insure with a Society that refuses to answer them. " Subscribed capital " is a deception, ask therefore the total amount of the paid-up and accumulated capital? The annual income? The total amount assured, and number of policies in force ? And in order to guard against the present practice of punishing both misfortune and neglect by the forfeiture of all that has been paid, ask particularly whether the Society has adopted "the Davies of Finch-lane Clause," viz. :—Have they fixed how many annual premiums must be paid in respect of a policy before it acquires an inalienable value—that is—A VALUE THAT CANNOT BE FORFEITED ; and how much of the pre miums paid such value will consist of? Or, to avoid risk, apply to Messrs. Davies and Co., No. 1, Finch-lane, who are not the agents of any life assurance society. Our postscript to those who are assured already:— Demand of the Society with whom your life is assured that they adopt "THE DAVIES OF FINCH LANE CLAUSE," — namely, "That they fix how many annual premiums you must pay upon your policy before it acquires A VALUE THAT CANNOT BE FORFEITED ; and what proportion of the pre miums paid such value will consist of:" And if the Society refuse to do so, then surrender your policies and re-assure.in an office which has adopted it ; and, mark ! The sum you will receive for the surrender of your Policy will pay for many years the difference of premium which will be required by an other Society on account of your increased age. But to avoid all risk, apply to DAVIES and Co., 1, Finch-lane, Cornhill. •,. " PESTH, Dec. 13.

" As the proposed sitting of the former Snperintendential Convent of the Helvetic Confession was, in accordancewith the ordinances contained in tho Impbrial patent of the Ist September, 1859, prohibited by Gabriel von Bathory, the deputy of the Seperintendent, the transactions (verhand lungen) which took place in the Calvinistic Church during Divine Service cannot be said to bear the character of a superintendential content. " Legal measures have already been taken." ' The excitement of the Hungarian Protestants must be very great, as " Seniorat" assemblies are being held in all parts of the kingdom. Atßalassa- Gyarmatb, in the Neograde county, there was a day 'or two ago a great Lutheran Assembly, at which it was unanimously resolved "to decline to accept" (ablehnen) the Imperial' Patent of the Ist of Sep tember, and also the Ministerial ordinances which accompanied it. Several persons, as well eccle siastics as laymen, addressed the assembly, and they one and all based their objections to the Imperial octroi on Paragraph IV. of the 26th article of the law of the year 1791. As usual, the assembly deter mined humbly to petition his Majesty the Emperor to suspend his patent, and to deign to order the con vocation of a Synod.

" And I beseech the God of my fathers to open all your eyes to the discovery of the truth. You can not imagine how much you may soon need the con solations of the Christian religion. Circumstances like my own for more than a month past have con vinced me beyond all doubt of our great need of some theories treasured up when our prejudices are excited our vanity worked up to the highest pitch. Oh! do not trust your eternal all upon the boisterous ocean without even a helm or compass to aid you in steering. I do not ask any of you to throw away your reason; I only ask you to make a candid, sober use of your reason. " My dear younger children, will you listen to this last poor admonition of one who can only love you ? Oh! be determined at once to give your whole heart to God, and let nothing shake or alter that resolution. You need have no fears of regret ting it. Do not be vain and thoughtless, but sober minded; and let me entreat you all to love the whole remnant of our once great family. Try and build up again your broken walls and to make the utmost of every stone that is left. Nothing can so tend to make life a blessing as the consciousness that your life and example bless and leave you the stronger. Still, it is ground of the utmost com fort to my mind to know that so many of you as have had the opportunity have given some proof of your fidelity to the great family of men. Be faithful unto death; from the exercise of habitual love to man it cannot be very hard to learn to love his Maker. " I must yet insert the reason for my firm belief in the Divine inspiration of the Bible, notwith standing I am perhaps naturally sceptical, certainly not credulous. I - wish all to consider it most thoroughly when you read that blessed book, and see whether you cannot discover such evidence yourselves. It is the purity of heart feeling our mind, as well as work and actions, which is every where insisted on, that distinguishes it from all other teachings, that commends it to my conscience. Whether my heart be willing and obedient or not the inducement that it holds out is another reason of my convictions of its truth and genuineness ; bat I do not here omit this my last argument on the Bible, that eternal life is what my soul is panting after this moment. I mention this as a reason for endeavouring to leave a valuable copy' of the Bible to be carefully preserved in remembrance of me, to see many of my posterity instead of some other book at equal cost. " I beseech you all to live in habitual content meat with moderate circumstances 'aud gains of worldly store, and earnestly to teach this to your children and children's children, by example as well as precept. Be determined to know by expe rience as soon as may be whether Bible instruction is of divine origin or not. Be sure to owe no man anything, but to lore one another. John Rogers wrote to his children. " Abhor that arrant whore of Rome." John Brown writes to his children to abhor, with undying hatred also, that sum of all villanies—slavery. Remember, he that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth in spirit than he that taketh a city. Remember, also, that they, being wise, shall shine, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. " And now, dearly beloved family, to God and the work of His grate I commend you all, " Your affectionate husband and father, " JOHN' BROWN." THE EXECUTION OF OLD JOE BROWN. (From the Times.) - We have been so far removed for a quarter of a century from all national interest in the question of slavery that we may look with impartial eyes on the strange events which have recently occurred on the other side of the Atlantic. Au old man was hanged on the 2d of December at Charlestown, Virginia, who will probably be remembered as a hero by the Abolitionists of both countries for some time to come. We sincerely wish that " Old Cap tain John Brown" had not met his death at the hands of the executioner. But this wish leads us back to other and still other wishes, until we find ourselves wishing that the whole framework of American society were not what it is. The fate of John Brown is connected with the growth of cotton in India or West Africa, with the instincts of the Anglo• Saxon race, with the intellectual powers of the African, with the principles of self government, with the theory of the American Con stitution. There are certainly people who think that a slaveholding community has no right to take the life of a would•be liberatoi of their slaves, and that the principles of natural justice require them to be considered as murderers as much as the burglar who shoots the policeman who arrests him. Into these abstract questions of moral right we shall not enter. The Virginians have hanged poor old Brown, and there is no profit in further discus sing the question, unless the actual state of Ameri can society and the rights of the governing communities be taken for granted. Massachusetts for t h h a e v have criminal, ma d e great and demonstrations people the sympathy of such a p eo p le is a title to the consideration of the world. No communit y of of o f sympathy which we have any knowledge approaches in en lightenment and morality to the inhabitants of this part of the Union, where, though wealth may not be heaped up in masses, as in New York, yet poverty hardly exists, education is universal, and the tone of society is singularly high-minded, honourable, and liberal. Massachusetts may be taken to represent the extreme section of northern politicians ; and the sympathy for Brown fullest in this part of the country, will taper off until in some of the Free States public opinion will be en tirely on the side of his executioners. What Abolitionist feelings, intentions, and powers aro "But when to-morrow's sun in blood goes down, It will breathe free, no longer fearing BroWn." Mr. Garrison, the most conspicuous Abolitionist of the day, then " drew a fine picture of the results which would follow if the Union could be divided and a firm healthy Government formed, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific." At Worcester a meeting was held equally enthusiastic, at which Mr. Hugginson made, as it seems to us, the most sensi ble remarks. He said, "We talc, we build John Brown a monument of words. We don't occupy a very sublime position to-night." This language was much more suitable to the situation than de clamations that General Wise had committed a murder that he had no right to." Bells were tolled probably in every town in Mas sachusetts, and in many throughout the entire North. Yet we will venture to say that in a few days. everything was quiet again, and John Brown, for whom parallels wore sought; in history, sacred and profane, was judged in' the true light, as a cou rageous old man, maddened by the partisan warfare of the West, and whom it would have been as well for the State of Virginia to pardon, if possible. The truth is, that these Abolitionist meetings and de monstrations express only an impulse, and not a con viction, of the Northern people. There is not ono American in a thousand who would act on the prin ciples which were applauded in " Tremont Temple" and in numbers of other places after Brown's execu tion. Happily for the peace of society and the security of the Republio, there is a'stiong Conser vative feeling throughout the Union, and Mr. Gar rison's scheme for a secession of the Northern States will find favour only with" a narrow clique even in his own city. The Central' States of the Union, — such as New York and Pennsylvania, will, never permit the fanatics of either North or South to imperil the fabric of American nationality. But their interference will never be required, for even in Massachusetts and South Carolina ex treme opinions are allowed expressions only because they are are felt to be practically harmless. These noisy and, useless demonstrations of so enlight ened a community as that of New England are, however, not without their evil effect. They em bitter the slaveholders against the North, while they give them the Jeonviction that the North fears to oppose them. The Virginian authorities might have spared Brown, had it not been openly boasted in the frontier free States that he should be rescued on the very drop by an army of Abolitionists. Go vernor Wise was told that he durst not bang Brown —that 5,000 Freesoilers could march from one end of Virginia to the other ; that the negroes would be made to rise in earnest this time, and so on. In short, a section of fanatics, in the name of the North, threw out a challenge to the entire South, and by so doing sealed Brown's fate. The Virginians hanged the poor old man, and the rescuers did not move, but when the tragedy was complete began to indulge in the useless declamation we have recorded. The re sult will be to strengthen the South by the adhesion of that floating mass of opinion which in every country lies between the two extremes. Whatever may be the future of the negro race, no one in his senses can believe that its regeneration can be effected by inciting it to murder planters and ravish white women, and, if any man chooses to head an outbreak of this kind, he must expect to meet a fate which right-thinking men will not glorify with the crown of martyrdom. (Front the Morning Advertiser.) The star-spangled banner has received a foul stain —a stain cruelly offensive to the eyes of those who • are wont to look with sympathy towards the great Republic beyond the o c ean. John Brown, the de fender—ill-advised it may be—but still the defender of the outraged cause of humanity; John Brown, the man who staked his fortune, his life, and all that he held dear in the vindication of the inalien able rights of a degraded race of fellow-beings— was brought to the scaffold at Charlestown on the 2d inst., and there hanged like a common mur derer. Down to the last moment men had hoped that the escutcheon of the Transatlantic Com monwealth would not be tarnished by so dis graceful a " legal murder." All over Europe, wherever the traffic in human flesh is abhorred as a Cain's act, the news from the United States, as each mail succeeded the other, was eagerly scanned for some ray of hope. Tho fervent wishes of all good men were for the rescue of John Brown from the grip of the hangman. Victor Hugo, from his place of exile, stepped forth to address an appeal for mercy to the Republican authorities—an appeal in which he pathetically exclaims :—" Yes, there is, and let America well reflect upon it, something more terrible yet than the slaughter of Abel by his brother Cain—and that is the murder of Spartacus by the hand of Washington !" But the prayers of noble hearted men have been doomed to disappointment. The last mail from the United States has brought the dreadful report of the execution of Brown on that December day which has already become celebrated as so fatal to European liberty. As though they wished, in ad dition to the cruelty of the procedure, to mock the feelings of the " Abolitionist" and " Republican" parties, the judicial authorities appointed as the day for dragging a wounded old man to the scaffold the very anniversary which marks the strangling of the Republic in France. The foul deed was ac companied with other allusions of an equally hate ful character. Thus, for instance, the rope with which John Brown was to be hung was, previous to being employed for the fell purpose, exposed for show in the sheriff's office, with the announcement that " it was made of cotton from South Carolina." The produce of slave hands was to serve as an in strument for strangling the man who had fought and bled for the freedom of the negro ! Such a re finement of fiendish cruelty almost staggers our belief, when even the last hour of death is not sacred from the gibes and jeers of triumphant malice. No wonder that that portion of the Press in America, which recognises in John Brown a brave, enthusiastic, though rash champion of the good cause, should have beer driven furious by the de cree of death pronounced against the venerable hero. Foremost in energetic expression of their indignation are the anti-slavery organs of the Ger man Press in the United States. One of them speaks out thus :—" The whole State of Virginia, which calls itself the chivalrous, has become con verted into a camp of hangmen. From Governor Wise down to the last ruffian, all have become hangmen. Charlestown is occupied by two thousand armed hangmen. All the Christian temples of the place have been converted into barracks for hang men. Whoever desires to enter Virginia just now must wend his way through guards and bands of self-elected hangmen. The place of execution, on December 2, is to be a vast open space, surrounded by an army of hangmen, to enable the chief execu tioner toply his calling with complacency and com fort, and to prevent the possibility of any sympa thising car from catching the dyingwords of the assassinated hero of freedom. To bael up and coun tenance this array of Virginian hangmen, a small army of United States troops will not he wanting, troops converted for the nonce, by the Chief Magis trate of the Republic, into a brigade of hangmen. What are we called upon now to behold as the highest and most honourable task of the President, the governors, the army, and militia of the Repub lic? Not the sacred duty of guarding its freedom and its rights, but the loathsome vocation of hang men, for murdering the champions of freedom who have endeavoured to rescue their country from the curse of slavery." John Brown is now no more ; but while his me mory is befouled by the libertines who treat the negro as the beast of the field, his name will be esteemed by all those who hold it the fundamental law of civilised society not to allow any portion of the human family to be degraded into servile bon , dage. John Brown is dead, but his spirit is still abroad. Woo to the deluded men who dwell as nigger -drivers in the South, if they think they can now with impunity continueth eirproffigate tyranny! Woe . to them if, to the entreaties of the North, they should continue to oppose the same menace of car rying the boundaries of the slave district even far ther—into countries hitherto uncontaminated! There is a limit to all human endurance; pass that boundary, and. the aggression will rebound upon him who has been the original violater of justice. Who knows but this retribution is already on its way to overtake the traffickers in human fiesh---:and in a form more daißgerOus to the guilty ones than the ill-organised attempt made at Harper's Ferry? All this we say in shame and sorrow. The people of England, themselves still hampered in the free dom of their political action by a feudalist oligarchy, have always looked with pride at the growing power and liberties of their kinsmen across the ocean, hoping that the one marring feature, Slavery, would in duo time be got rid of, or at least be pre vented from eating cancer-like into the American body politic. The people of England, and the organs of English Liberalism, are therefore not among those likely to cast a stone undeservedly at their Transatlantic brethren. It is a sad and most un welcome duty for us to take up in this manner our stand against the Republic ; but, as it is a dots', oil other considerations must give way. Let us, however, still hope that the blood of John Brown will not have been shed in vain—that men, when the first intoxication of revengeful feeling ha passed away, will become more accessible to per suasion—that a conviction will spring up of the necessity of doing somethin in justice to humanrights, rights, lest civil war should ' spring up throughout the Commonwealth, and the manes of John Brown be avenged by a Servile Rebellion. "What friend of freedom is there that would not wish to see such a fate averted from the American Republic ? How despots would chuckle should they see the great democrc tic State rent asuader by in ternal convulsion—the glorious Union divided into some strips of territory, each of which would be se cluded from the other by hostile barriers ! But to this, unfortunately, it must come if the cause of humanity continues to he outraged by a set of reckless man-sellers, whose abominable profligacy has reached such a height that they already exhi bit their coloured fellow-men as cattle shows, and award each other prizes for the production of the greatest amount of bone and muscle in the bodies of their human cattle ! 'Would that a reaction of in dignant feeling were at last visible among the population of the South! For the first principles of humanity cannot thus be violated year by year without a rightful retribution falling on the heads of the guilty. Punishment may be slow in coming ; it may hobble, as the proverb has it, on crutches, but it knocks at the door at last. NEIV CALEDONI.4. The following is the narrative in the Moniteur alluded to by our Paris correspondent : Sept. 3, 18,59.—F0r some time past the French authorities at New Caledonia had felt the greatest anxiety for the security of our rising establishment of Kanala. Their chief attention had to be directed to the protection of the colonists, who were begin ning to collect round about Napoleonville, and from the commencement of July measures had been taken by Commandant Saisset, the governor, for confronting the threatening attitude of the inhabit ants of Hyenguene, which gave rise to an ex tremely dangerous agitation in all directions. The Hyenguene tribe is the most warlike one in the country ; it formerly had at its head a very enterprising chief named Bonaratte, whom Rear-Admiral Dubouzet saw himself obliged to have removed, and who is now living at Tahiti. A few Europeans of the worst description, con victs escaped from penitentiary colonies, had contended for the right of succeeding that chief, and had achieved their design of arming the Ryenguene people, and inspiring them with the idea of taking the offensive against us. The necessity of previously finishing a military post at Napoleonville had caused a delay, which had only served to increase the confidence of the tribe, and the insolence of adventurers who had undertaken to excite it. Things had come to such a pass, that the tribe threatened to conic and attack the governor at Kande.. The expeditionary corps was at length able to start far its destination on the 31st of August, and landed next day on the enemy's territory. It con sisted of barely 160 men. They were divided into eight detachments. The first two, under the direc tion of Commandant Durand, occupied the defiles of the northern extremity of the Peninsula ; the other six, under the direction of the governor him self, made for the south. They endeavoured to get the Caledonian masses between two fires. But our troops were not numerous enough to bar their pas sage, far less to surround them , and this first day was far from being decisive. During the whole of the night the expeditionary corps was annoyed in its encampment ; invisible enemies assailed it with a shower of stones mixed with musket shots, to which it was impossible to reply efficaciously, and one soldier was killel by a musket shot fired nearly pointblank. On the following day, Sept. 2, the operations continued on both sides of the river, where our men burned several villages. At the attack of the first village Capt. Tricot was mortally wounded, so that the expeditionary corps the day after it had taken the field lost one captain and one private, and it counted areadv 19 wounded. It found itself re duced to about 140 men fit for duty, and the resist ance of the llyenguenes did not appear to slacken. However, on the first day, the European chief, who had been the principal agent of the insurrec tion, fell into the hands of one of the French de tachments. On the third day we likewise suc ceeded in capturing two other whites, his accom plices. The position of these individuals taken with arms in their hands was very clear ; martial law, proclaimed at the beginning of the expedition, was applicable to them in all its rigour. The governor, appearing however to hope that their capture would suffice to discourage the revolt, did not hasten to put a council of war in a capacity to de cide upon their fate ; he waited, it seems, to see discouragement seize the masses th us depr i ved of their principal leaders; but he was able to ascer tain that the Europeans who . r continued to direct them g their themselves cause, and that, re solved o w n to otr continue far c contrary, fromtr a r y t showed h a e tbhaenydonli resistance with the same .- p a e l e d i l t vigour. During the following days n ys o the th e e x tionary corps was k e p t continuallyby the natives, w ho stole under shelter of the thickets to surprise the sentinels. The famous Jack, who is a European in colour only, more savage than the Caledonians whose mode of life he has adopted, and completely naked like them, succeeded in getting within 30 pacss of the encampment, and delivering his fire. It was feared the expedition would require fresh and sterner efforts. The num ber of our soldiers was not calculated to intimidate the multitude of armed men who at every instant crossed our lines; the indulgence shown by our commander towards the three arrested individuals had evidently for its result the encouragement of the natives, and tended only to prolong a contest which could not last long without becoming danger ous to our troops already so harassed by the opera tions of the two first days. Necessity, therefore, required, and the governor's responsibility was seri ously compromised if he hesitated to enforce the ap plication of the law. On the Bth of September the Commandant Saisset convoked the council of war, to which he presented the articles of accusation. The guilt of the three prisoners was so notorious, and the nature of the penalty so distinctly indicated by that of the crime, that the sentence could not be doubtful. The Court decreed immediate execution. tives of the Protestants in the county of Bars to ac cept the Imperial patent, but the Assembly, as one man, declared its resolve to petition his Majesty to suspend it. To-morrow there is to be a so•called Districtual Convent in the former " Montan" (min ing districts) Superintendency, and it hardly admits of a doubt that the Assembly will imitate its fellows, and protest against the Imperial patent. On Mon day the German Lutherans residing at Pesth assem bled, read the Patent Law from beginning to end (which consists of 58 long paragraphs), and then unanimously resolved to decline it, " and to hold firmly to the Law of 1791,which secures self-govern ment to the Protestant Church." Political and religious agitation go hand in hand in Hungary, and consequently no one is much sur prised to learn that the editor of the lieligio, a paper published by the St. Stephen's Association, has been obliged to resign, because he recommended to the public an organ called Ida; 'tanifja (Witness of the Times), which is to appear at the new year. It appears that it will be the business of the Idok 'tanztja, which is advertised as a" Catholic political" paper, to disturb the good understanding which now pre rails between the different confessions. The Roman Catholics and the Protestants in Hungary have almost always lived in harmony, but some years ago the Lutherans and Calvinists did not pull well together. A society of Hungarian ladies in tends to present 52 arm-chairs to the National Museum at Pesth. On each of those chairs,whieh are to be paced in the state room of the Museum, will be embroidered the arms of a Hungarian county. It may be observed that there are 49 counties and 3 se separate districts, Jazygien and Great and Little Cumanien, in Hungary. Some of the ladies residing in Transylvania intend to imitate the example of their Hungarian sisters, and, consequently, the Museum in Klausenburg will soon be in possession of a set of chairs with the arms of the eight Transylvanian counties, and of one Hungarian and five Szekler districts embroidered on them. Until now the Pro testants in the 11 Saxon districts in Transylvania, have displayed no inclination to make common cause with the Hun,garians, but they are tolerably sure to do so if complete self-government in reli gious matters is not secured to them. The Pro testant Assembly at Neutra, which a few days ago accepted. the Imperial Patent of the Ist September, was principally composed of Sclaves. It would ap pear that the air of Hungary has ceased to agree with Count Stephen Carolyi, as he has announced his intention of goity , to Rome for his health. The Cardinal Primate of Hungary has given the noble Magyar a certificate, in which it is said that he has not only never " wounded the feelings" of the Roman Catholic Church, but has rendered her valuable services. Count S. Carolyi, who is not in good odour here just now, was seized by the revo luftmary party in 1849, and carried off to the for tress of Comcrn, because he was well inclined to the Imperial Government. About ten days ego you were told by me that the Archduke Albrecht had proposed to place Hungary in a state of siege, but the assurance was yesterday given me that it was his Imperial Highness who protested against such an extreme measure. In - as far as the projected reforms are concerned the Government appears to be completely paralysed. Every Austrian statesman seems to feel that it is necessary to do something for the nation, but un fortunately none of them know how to take the matter in hand. The Cabinet, feeling itself unequal to the task of reorganising the em p ire, occu p ies itself with matters of inferior moment, such as press ordinances, &c. It is evident that the Go vernment is at a loss how to proceed in Hungary, but the merest tvro in p olitics plainly sees what b ouoht to be done. Let a rea sona b le s h a r e of liberty be granted to all the Austrian nationalities, and they will cease to sympathise w ith the Hungarians, and to consider them th e cham p ions of religious freedom. Government employes say that the Germans, Bohe mians, Croats, &c., feel no sympathy for the Hun garians, but they deceive themselves, as they entirely forget that during the last nine years very much has been taken from, and nothing given to, the inhabitants of the empire. During the y ear s 1848 and 1849 there was a very large "black yellow" party in this city, but it would now be diffi cult to find 12,000 men on whom Government could depend in the day of need. In fact, the injudi cious measures of the Schwarzenberg.Bach Cabinet, and of its successors, have sadly blunted the feelings of loyalty and patriotism in the Viennese. A milkman at Klosterneuburg, a town in th e neighbourhood of this city, has been sentenced to three months' imprisonment for speaking disrespect fully of St. Leopold, the patron saint of thi s pro vince. The Lower Austrian free-thinker declared that the doughty rival of Richard Coeur de Lion was a robber knight who lived on the top of a high hill in order that he might be able to see at a dis tance the vessels which were coming down the Danube. "As to the title of saint," said the im pious .dealer in milk, " anybody can have it who has the money to pay for it." The principal wit ness against the man was his step-father, with whom he had long been on a very unfriendly footing. Ii is related here that the Prince of Orange is betrothed to the Archduchess Maria Theresa, one of the daughters of the Archduke Albrecht, but the report can hardly be true, as the Prince is a Protestant and the youthful Princess is a Roman Catholic. The steam transport Weser, of 650 horse-power, purchased in England for 1,500,000 f., to carry stores for the Chinese expedition, has arrived at Cherbourg - , where she will take on board her cargo. The Dutch steam-frigate Van Wasscnaer, Capt. Van Voss, has also arrived at the same port. This vessel has come to be repaired in one of the slips at Cherbourg. NOTICE. T HE CORNHILL MAGAZINE.
