But the opp ress i ve c h arac t er . ... ,.,s proceed- -- - i ings, and the mingled insolence and cruelty with which the Austrians carry them oat, are exciting a spirit of indignation among . all classes, which threatens, sooner or later, to : find vent in a formidable - explosion. Two circum stances of recent occurrence will, I think, show that the endurance of the Hungarians must be well nigh ' exhausted. A few days ago at Pelcaz, in the county of Siathniar, a peasant, named Rosa, had his horse seized for non-payment of taxes, and the animal was sold for 3 florins (about ss). By the loss of his horse the poor fellow was entirely ruined, and I am . assured that it was a heartrending spectacle to see the bitter anguish of his wife and children as the animal was knocked down for such a miserable sum. The man himself, on seeing that the horse was about to he led away, pulled out a pistol, and shot it dead. I ' The skin alone is worth more than your three florins,' said he, ' and I will not allow myself to be robbed of more than I can help by the agents of the infamous Hapsburgs." The second case is more seri ous. A Wallachian woman, of the county of Zara ind, not having paid her taxes, the Austrian func tionaries seized a chain, made, as is not unusual in this country, of gold coins strung together ; th e y put it up to au c ti on , and, of course, knocked it down to one of themselves for about a tenth of its value. The poor woman, with tears streamims from her eves, represented that, the ch a i n having belonged to her mother and grandmother, she prized it more than anythingon earth;and she implored again and again - that it might be kept for three short days, by the end of which time she should be able to raise money to redeem it. But her very reasonable request was coarsely refused. Exasperated beyond endurance she struck the presiding Austrian functionary a blow in the face, which sent him sprawling in the dust. Off to prison she was carried, and she has there been subjected to such fearful scourging that she is now, if report spea k s true, on the brink of death. 3-rant to be be Erteign, I NT ERNATIONAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, 142, Strand, London, January 10, 1860.

There were in the hall at the time the ablest reporters from London, who gave fair and accurate reports of the very tumultuous proceedings, and in no one of those reports does the word "committee" occur. (Hear, hear, and " You did" from Mr. Rogers.) He would trust the memory of the gentleman representing the press against the memory of Mr. Rogers. (Cheers, and Mr. Rogers—" Whom did you charge ?") His words were—and he mentioned them now for the satisfaction of Sir Francis Gold smid—" that a partisan, or person, acting in the interest of Sir F. Goldsmid had made a deliberate— (cries of " Name.") His name was Collinson. (Laughter, and " He's a Tory.") Sir F. GOLDSMID—He was no partisan of mine, nor was he acting in my agency. (Cheers.) Mr. BENSON said, if Sir Francis Goldsmid was not willing to accept the -explanation he :wished to offer, he would not dwell upon a subject which had already been too painful. (Hear.) His assertion was, that Sir Francis Goldsmid had nothing to do with the offers which were made in his behalf. Mr. ROGERS said that Mr. Benson, after the statement made that both parties were Tories, if the attempt had been ••made, ought unequivocally to withdraw the charge against the committee of Sir Francis Goldsmid. (Cheers.) Mr. BENSON said th e person, whoever he was, had laid himself open to the operation of a highly penal statute—(hear)—.-and it was perfectly competent for any individual in the borough to bring the mat ter before the justices. (Oh, oh.) He was going to say that it would subject the individual to a penalty, but he had better say to the risk of a heavy penalty. (Laughter.) If it were brought into court it would not turn out such a joke as some gentlemen seemed to imagine. (Hear, and uproar.) He would not further trespass upon their patience, but offer his thanks to those who nobly exerted themselves to maintain the principles of Conserva tism. Though unsuccessful, they might console themselves with the recollection that they left no stone unturned—that they did not spare money, or time, or labour, to achieve the success of what they felt in their hearts a great and valuable principle. (Cheers.) lie had now to bid them farewell. (A Vvice--" Good bye, and be off.") That gentleman, who was bold and brave in the moment of battle, was cruel in the agonies of his victory. (Laughter.) He could not with anything like candour hold out the prospect that there would again be a contest for the seat within a few months. The Reform Bill might come, or it might not come, Sir F. Goldsmid might hold this seat in fee simple for one year. (Laughter.) He believed Sir Francis had the power, and from what he heard of him, he thought he had the will to secure this seat so long as the present registration lasted; but, should the consti tuency be altered, and it should appear to the Con strvative party that there was a better chance o: success, then he hoped that no respect for Sir F Goldsmid would find them a bit more loth to as.

GREAT FALL OF CLIFF AT RAMSGATE.—From the East and West Cliffs some thousands of tons have fallen in consequence of the breaking up of the late severe frosts. On Sunday a very heavy fall happened from the East Cliff, near the Refectory Tavern, blocking up the road running between Messrs. Strong and Barnes's shipwright-yard and the cliff, sweeping before it the yard fence, the trunk used to steam plank in, as well as the copper and furnace, at the same time burying a quantity of ship timber that was placed under the cliff. Fortunately there was no one pass ing at the time of the fall. From appearances there is a great deal more to fall, there being cracks on the top of the cliff four feet from the edge.—Kent Herald. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills. — Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia.—The damp weather com monly prevailing at this season renders the above diseases almost epidemic. In some shape or other all, exeept the most robust, are tortured by them. Let all such sufferers turn with confidence to Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which for a quarter of a century have been lauded above all other drugs for their soothing and curative powers in these complaints. The affected parts, first fomented in warm water, should be r u bb e d with the Ointment twice a day as briskly as is bearable. The Pills should be taken at the name time to obtain the full beneficial effect, so that while the Ointment soothes locally, the pills purify, stimulate, and strengthen generally. Majority for Sir F. Cloasmid .... 110 His Worship then declared Sir' Francis Goldsmid to have been duly elected as member for Reading. The cheering that ensued was enthusiastic and lasted several minutes. Sir FRANCIS GOLDSMID then rose, and was greeted wiith loud cheers. He said he most heartily thanked the electors for the position in which they had placed him. Considering the various difficul ties against which they had to contend—consider ing the powerful*xertions that were made against the Liberal party—considering, especially, the exertions that were made to persuade a portion of the Liberal electors of the bOkough that it was their religious duty to desert their political prin ciples—(lTear, hear)—he thought that they might well be satisfied wish the success which they had achieved—(loud cheers)—not, indeed, by quite so great a majority as he had expected—(hear, hear) —but still by a majority substantial and cor lider able. (Cheers.) He desired not, after the close of the contest, to refer by one word more than was necessary to anything that was calculated to revive the unpleasant feelings which would arise in the course of discussions incident to such a contest. He would. therefore refer to a statement made at the nomination, nOt to renew any complaint with re spect to that statement against his late hon. oppo nent, Mr. Benson, but for the purpose of saying that when the names of the parties w ere ? iron, in accordance with the undertaking entered into, and certain further particulars were given, it appeared that the narrative or anecdote, which was taken down in writing in the presence of four witnesses, referred to two Tory voters—(laughter and cheers) —one of whom appeared to have amused himself with telling the other that he could obtain money from some one of Sir Francis Golasmid's party to induce him not to vote. (Hear, laughter, and cheers.) The alleged briber was a person who, at the election in April last, was active for the Con servative party—(hear)—he was a person in whose Toryism they had so much confidence that they placed him on the register at the last registration against the opposition of the Liberal party. (Hear, hear.) He was a person in who se Toryism the Liberals had so much confidence that among the 1,400 electors of this borough he was one of the very few with respect to whom they considered it so certain they would vote for Mr. Benson, that they did not think it worth while to ask him for his vote. (Cheers) Neither he (Sir F. Goldsmid) nor his agent, nor, he was assured, any of those of his friends who canvassed for him, applied to that else= tor on any subject with regard to this election. (" Hear, hear," and "He was canvassed by your party three times.") Neither directly or indirectly was that person applied to on behalf of the Liberal party. (Cheers, and "Name, name," from the Con servatives.) He had been asked for the name, and he would tell them that the person alleg e d t o have attempted to bribe was Collinson, (Hear, hear.) He would repeat that neither himself nor his agent, nor anyone connected with his party, applied to him on any subject in reference to the present election. (Cheers.) That being the case, the Liberals were in no way responsible for anything which that gentle man did. (Cheers.) In pursuance of the opinion which they entertained, the person who was stated to haVe made the offer to procure a bribe voted yes terday, as the Liberal party expected, in favour of Mr. Benson, the Conservative candidate. (Cheers.) Ho felt it necessary to make this statement, in order that it might be seen that the Liberals were iin• tirely unconcerned in the question whether this in teresting conversation, which it appears was taken down in writing in the presence of witnesses and duly, attested, be true or untrue—whether the con versation actually took place as BO forth in that statement, or whether it be anion the number of that class of works which some i genious writers have amused themselves in compos ' F , i f and publish ing—the imaginary con versa ti ons i ll us t rious per sonages. (Cheers.) Ho would no roceedto some more congenial topics. He begge to assure those electors who had honoured him wi h their support. thaiphe would do whatever in him ay to advance in Parliament those principles on wh ch he had been returned, and would attend to the duties of their member with assiduity and diligence. Ho begged also to state to all the electors, whether they sup ported him or not, that though he could not, of course, 1 dvance the political principles of those op posed to him, yet ix all matters of local interest he w :shed them to know that he was the representative of all, and that he should be ready to receive, whether from opponents or supporters, any suggestion that could advance the local interests pf the town. (Loud cheers.) He hoped that he might be permitted to al lude to himself personally, and to say that having been for 25 years of his life engaged in the struggle to procure a modification of that oath which alone prevented the admission of Jews into Parliament, he had during that period also looked forward to a seat in the House of Commons as the great ambition to which he would aspire ; and that being the case, he had of course felt the greatest desire when, in the year 1858, that struggle which lasted a quarter of a century terminated by the House of Lords so far giving way as to consent to a modification of the oath—when, he must say, that was done, he naturally felt the greatest desire that he might at length attain the object of his ambition to which his wishes were directed, and he only hoped that his conduct in the House of Commons, when consi dered hereafter, might be found to have justified the desire for his being placed there. (Cheers.) He might be excused for saying that the 11th of Janu ary was a most fortunat e day for him. After hav ing been called to the bar, the first of his religious community, now about 27 years since, two years ago, on the llth of January, 1858, he was the first of that community to take his place in the courts as one of her Majesty's counsel, and on the second an niversary of that same day he had the still greater satisfaction of hearing the mayor of their borough declare that he (Sir F. Goldsmid) had bun elected by this constituency as their member in the Com mons' House of Parliament. (Cheers) He would not detain them further than to repeat that he would do his utmost to represent them faithfully, that they might never regret the choice they had made; and he would venture to say, in conclusion, that he did not entirely dismiss from his mind the hope that, when they should meet again for a similar purpose to that forwhich they were called together onMonday, there might pass through the minds even of some of those who had on this occasion most strenuously and even violently opposed him—(cries of ‘‘ No, no !" and " Yes !")—a doubt whether it could be a thing so dangerous to return to the House of Com mons a man, though a Jew, who had assiduously, intelligently, and honestly endeavoured to discharge his duties. (Loud cheers.) Mr. BENSON, on rising, was enthusiastically cheered by the Conservatives. He said he was placed in a more difficult position, as regarded the power of addressing them, than his hon. opponent in the late contest, who was now the object of his envy. (Laughter.) Mach had been said, in a sneer ing way perhaps, of the economy with which it was supposed that the election had been conducted on the Conservative side. (Laughter.) A suspicion that the economy would operate against the Con servative interest seemed to have penetrated Print ing -house-square, for the Times of that day had done Reading the honour to devote as article of nearly a column in length to the election, and it stated that as a principal reason for the Conserva tives losing the contest was that they came late into the field, and upon special principles of purity. (Loud and prolonged laughter.) Gentlemen seemed to think that so ludicrous a thing in Reading. (Laughter anl cheers.) Mr. RoaEns said, it is a ludicrous thing on the Tory side. (Laughter and disorder.) Mr. BENSON said, the Times went on to remark that " vacillation, delay, and economy are put into the balance against promptitude, organisation, and a liberality not limited, in the public imagination, to opinions alone." (Cheers.) Now, Sir Francis Goldsmid would permit him to tell him, as he had thought it w i t hi n the precincts o f his duty to refer to the quest ion of the financial conduct of the elec tion. (Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") He was going to say nothing offensive to Sir Francis Goldsmid. (Uproar.) He was going to say that the opinion expressed—not in the terse, vigorous, and elegant language of the Times—that he (Mr. Benson) had charged Sir Francis Gold amid with bribery was not correct. He never personally accused Sir Francis of cor ruption, nor suspected him of it. (Oh, oh.) A hand bill had been circulated pretending to give the facts of the case of bribery, but it contained, and he was sorry to say it, a deliberate falsehood. (Confusion.) Whoever put out the bill thought fit to assert that he (Mr. Benson), at the nomination, charged Sir Francis Goldsmid's clmmittee with bribery. ThAt Bert their right to have their party represented. (Cheers.) And now, with the best wishes for Sir F. Goldsmid, that he might live long t 6 enjoy the honour which the borough had put on him, he bade Sir Franci 3 farewell, and that he would go away with as little feeling of rancour towards those who opposed him in this contest as he (Mr. Benson) should. (Loud cheers.) On the mition of Sir F. GOLDSMID, seconded by Mr. BENSON, a vote of thanks to the Mayor for hi►► impartial conduct was carried by acclamation. The MAYmt acknowledged the honour which the meeting had done him. Three cheers were given for Sir F. Goldsmid, and the crowd dispersed. 2ILE NAVY. It is uow stated in official quarters that 20 post captains on the active list will be promoted to that of rear admirals.

The vessel sailed from Malta to Gibraltar and England on the 19th of last month. After she is paid off she will be placed in the third-class steam reserve. The Prince of Wales (a converted three-decker) is in a very forward state, and will be ready for launching on the 26th inst. Her ways have been laid and poppets nearly completed. Her figure head is an exact likeness of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales ; it will be in position next week, and does infinite credit to the carvers, the Messrs. Hellyer. DEVONPORT DOCK VARD.—Mr. Sturgess, third class clerk in the storekeeper's office, has been trans ferred to Deptford; and Mr. W. G. Gilbert, of Malta-yard, is appointed to this yard. The follow ing superannuations have taken place :—Richard Pasco, leading man of riggers, on £52 3s. 4d. per annum ; Samuel Organ and J. Lander, shipwrights, on £46 19s. per annum, each ; and Henry Broad, smith, on £45 53. '2d. per annum. PEMBROKE YARD.—Amongst other changes in the Nary list for this quarter we notice that the clerk of the works at this establishment has been made a principal officer of the yard, and will for the future take rank next the store-receivers. Two courts-martial were held yesterday on hoard the flag-ship Impre .nable in Hamoaze to try James Martin, gunner, Royal Marine Artillery. The charge was that lie, " being in actual service and pay in her Majesty's fleet, and serving on board her Majesty's ship Royal Albert, did, on or about the sth day of January, 1860, while Lieut. Cuthbert Featherstone Daly, Royal Marinas, serving on board the said ship, was going the usual night round between the hours of 10 and 11 p.m. on board the said ship, rush from under cover on the main deck and did attempt to strike the First Lieut., Cuthbert Featherstone Daly, his, the said James Martin's, superior officer, in the execution of his duty, and did make use of threatening and dis gusting language, saying, Let the have it,' or we: ds to that Effect, meaning him, the said First Lieutenant, Cuthbert Featherstone Daly." Also on John Dillon, private, Royal Marine Artil lery, for violently striking the said Lieut. Daly in the mouth and knocking him down. In both cases the prisoners jumped out from between the guns and committed the assault. The courts-martial assembled at nine o'clock in the morning, Sir Thomas Pesky, presidentandstunt t i l l ia t p.m. We learn by electric telegraph twothoe'clsoe o'clo ck on James Martin was that he be hanged on the yardarm of any of her Majesty's ships ; and on (From. the Times.) Whatever slackness there may be in the distribu tion of etrennes upon the Boulevards, there is none in the Tuileries. While Napoleon lives and reigns let no one despair of receiving a startling New Year's gift. What he offered to England we cannot, of course, quite accurately guess. What A ustria has got, or Spain has received, we do not affect to kuow. Whether Russia has received a promise, or Sardinia has had a reminder of some old condition, we do not even ask. But the dutiful offering of the Eldest Son of the Church to his Holy Father, the Pope of Rome, is now exhibited to the world. It turns Gut to be a talisman of powerful virtue, which, if it had been received in secrcy and used with prudence, would have contributed to the peace of the Christian world. It would even have helped to sustain for, come unmeasured period that priestly figment which many had come to look upon as mere faded tapestry and mouldering upholstery— old banners over a tomb, in which all the thews and sinews of a strong man are passing into dust. It was, however, we aro sorry to say, not received in time to allay. an irritation which had by some strange accident contrived to fix itself in an infal lible bosom. Pius IX. also had to distribute his New Year's gifts. He had sent his Pontifical benediction to the Emperor, the Empress, the Im perial Prince, and to all France; but this benedic tion is, like the talisman, of conditional virtue. It is only to operate in the event that God will give the Emperor grace to condemn " that monument of insidious hypocrisy and contemptible tissue of con tradictions" which are contained in an anonymous pamphlet, which the Father of Latin Christendom stoops thus specifically to vituperate. Unfortu nately, these two New Year's gifts crossed each ether on the way. Unfortunately, also, the talis man sent by Napoleon 111. itself prevented the accomplishment of the condition upon which alone the benediction was to take effect. So there is scandal in Latin Christendom, and the Emperor and the Empress, and the Imperial Prince, and all France remain unblessed. At last, then, we have these two Great Powers-- emblems of force and civilisation, and of superstition and blind obstinacy—face to face as antagonists. It is no longer the anonymous writer of Le Pape et le Congres and the anonymous writer in the Gior nale di Roma; it is the Pope himself sp-aking from the Vatican, and Napoleon himself writing from the Tuileries. In this Pontifical allocution and this Imperial missive the Emperor improves upon the pampleteer, but the Pope descends below the jour nalist. The Emperor states with grave and measured regret the unhappiness which afflicts him when he contemplates the present position of the temporal dominions of the Father of the Church. But, alas ! " facts have au inexorable sequence." It was the resistance of that unwise friend, Austria, which first stirred up the national Italian feeling. Despite the French garrison in Rome, and an Emperor devoted to the Holy See at the head of the French nation, that national movement could not be prevented from spreading to the Romagna. But that devoted Emperor at the critical moment stepped in with advice. If the Pope would appoint a Lay Governor and a separate administration of the revolted provinces —the Emperor also has his conditions—these provinces would have returned under the Papal authority. The Emperor says this, and the Emperor best knows. Unhappily, the condition was not accepted. The advice was re fused. The devoted Emperor was thus rendered impotent to arrest the progress of rebellion even a•nong those who have been privileged to look upon the glories and the vi r t ues o f the Popes themselves. He did what he could. He stopped the war with Austria, in a great measure because it was extend inn that national Itali-in movement too fiercely in the neighbourhood of the Holy Chair : he obtained the dismissal of Garibaldi, to prevent him from in vading the Marches of Ancona ; but he could do no more. All he can now do is to repeat the counsel which was before despised ; but this time the coun sel has kept pace with that inexorable sequence of events. It is short, it is simple, it is decisive— " Make a sacrifice of these revolted provinces." Upon this condition the Powers of Europe will guarantee the peaceful possession of " the States of the Church." Men will have different opinions as to the accuracy and the candour of the Emperor's retrospect, but all sensible men, of whatever religion, ought to have but one opinion as to the wisdom of his advice. Even if some persons capable of thinking on these matters without abdicating their powers of reason should still hold that it is honourable and prudent for a Christian Bishop to stir up war among the nations in order to retain the power of tyrannising over a reluctant province, yet even they must admit that at last, now that the Emperor has spoken, he has spoken plainly. In this declaration of policy there is at least no insidions hypocrisy and no contemp tible tissue of contradictions. The allocution of the Pope contrasts unhappily with this Imperial letter. There is a want of dignity about it which makes us uncomfortable as wo read. The highest ecclesiastic in the world, the most reverend man in Christendom, has to answer an address from the general and soldiers who have been placed by a foreign Sovereign to guard his person and sustain his power. He believes that this Sovereign has written a pamphlet which di s pl eases hi m , and because he believes this, and because he knows that the general and soldiers before him believe this, he takes the opportunity of denouncing this pamphlet as insidi ous, hypocritical, ignoble, and contradictory. To criticise an anonymeus pamphlet from the chair of St. Peter is not of itself a very dignified proceeding, but to abuse it without answering it, and to use vituperation as a device for covertly abusing the Sovereign who is protecting him, and who is the master of the men who are come to compliment him, savours so little of princely dignity and so much of feeble malignity that no imbecility can excuse it, and no weakness can reasonably account for it. Where was Antonelli ? Had this poor old man no friends near him to save him from so sad an exhibition ? This antagonism between a powerful 'llion and an obstinate Pope is new in our times ; but it was seen by our fathers, and it has run down every history from the time of Constantine. No nation that has not been too poor to plunder or too slavish to repine has ever escaped a sort of chronic contest with the Romish hierarchy. We may trace step by step every advance in civilisation, in liberty, in industry, in commerce, of every nation that is now great by some conquest over the obstacles interposed by the head of the Roman Church. We say nothing of the Roman Catholic religion. The firmest advo cates of that faith have generally been the most zealous opponents of Papal pretensions. France herself once won, and had, and prized her Gallic liberties. Richelieu himself once had to remind his expostulating brethren that he was a Frenchman before he was a Churchman. The whole warp and woof of our English history, long before the Refor mation, is interlaced with struggles against the Pope. All our laws of property were, even in those times, directed to the defeat of the machinations of the Pope. It must always be so. It is an inevitable necessity that an enlightened people must be hostile to a Power which can scatter curses abroad and shed blood at home, and which does so upon prin ciples that forbid the advance of the human race. The Emperor of the French, fortunately, rules over a nation which is not very sensitive to such in fluences as the Pope can use. The Pope's power for political purposes exists in European countries only among the lowest and the most ignorant of the Catholic community. If the Emperor goes to the l work as he can go to his work, the Pope has much more to fear from Napoleon than Napoleon has to fear from the Pope. IMPORTS OF COAL.—According to a statement just prepared the importation of coal, seaborne and by rail ways and canals, into London during the year 1859 was— seaborne, 10,693 ships, 3,209,17 0 tons • r ailway, 4,191,160 tons; and canal, 16,954 —making the iotal 4,507,303 tons. These figures show an increase of 32,724 tons, or about 1 per cent., seaborne, and 648 tons by rail (a merely frac tional per centage) ; and a decrease of 3,260 tons, or 16 per cent., by canal. The entries of ships by the principal fac tors during the year were :—Hill, Wood, and Hughes, 1,763 ships; Marshall and Page, 1,188 ; Dixon, Harris, and Co., 1,064 ; Chaytor, Webster, and Andrews, 968 ; S. Clarke, 620 ; William Milnes, 598 ; Taylor and Plowman, 535 ; F. D. Lambert, 505 ; Metcalfe and Cory, 370 ; Cherie ton and Watson, 364 ; Miller and Potter, 173 ; and Smith and Scurfield, 47. APPEASING A GUILTY CONSCIENCE.—A Toting lady travelling ftom Doncaster to Halifax about eight y ears ago had the misfortune to have her pocket picked of a purse containing £4 12s. The young lady was not a little sur prised a few days ago to receive the followin letter, en closed in which was a £5 note :—" Madame, I g believe you lost a purse some years ago in a railway carriage. I believe that I found it, and was leaving the country at . the same time. Having since returned a n d inquired,l have found your then address. I therefor e enc l ose you a £5 Bank of England note (and send it to the clergyman of the place where you then resided), which I think will pay the con tents of the purse with interest. lam sorry I have kept it so long, but could not avoid it. ll—,"—.Alanchester Examiner. " In my last letter I stated that the Government had forbidden any more demonstrations in honour Of the national poet Kazinczy. 1 ha% e since learnt that the reason why it did so was this :—At Sze phalom, in Lower Hungary, the poet's birthplace, a grand ci.reinony was got up, and people for 50 miles around, including the leading magnates of the dis ti iet, assembled to take part in it. Almost all the persons present were in deep mourning, and their attitude was so resolute, their language so patriotic, that the local functionaries in dismay telegraphed to Vienna and to Pesth that an insurrection was about to begin. The affair, however, passed off as hall been intended, in the most orderly manner pos sible. But the Viennese people received such a terrible fright that the Archduke Albert, as Gover nor of Hungary, ordered that no more Kazinezy demonstrations should be tolerated. In spite of his prohibition, however, many of those which were projected will certainly take place. "The Commissions of men of confidence' which are now sitting in different places to examine the famous communal law of the Government are, from the refusal of men of independence and character to have anything to do with them, Com posed exclusively of Government. functionaries. But if we may judge from what took place the other day at Kaschau, even these functionaries will be so influenced by the gene ral feeling of the country that they will not obey im plicitly Government dictation. Thus, at. Kaschau, the Commission of Confidence consisted of the Ca tholic bishop, the prefect, the aulic councillors, five mayors, and three independent gentlemen —ten creatures of the Government to three independents ! Yet this very commission, like that at Pesth, de clared that it had no authority to examine the law, and that the National Diet alone could do so. . "The atrocious manner in which the Viennese Government exercises oppression in this country has received a new illustration. M. Zsedeny and two other of the Keesmark Protestants were lately, as the newspapers will have informed you, con demned to imprisonment flur having taken part in protestingagainst theim perial patent which destroys the liberty of Protestants. As if the condemnation were not iniquitous enough in itself, the scandalous addition has been made to it that for two days a week the prisoners shall be made to fast. In this country fasting can by law be imposed on none but thieves and murderers, and yet M. Z se d eny an d hi s companions arc not only gentlemen in every mean ing of the word, but the offence for which they, are condemned is one that carries with it no moral taint even in Austrian eyes. "As the newspapers and newspaper correspon dents under the influence of the Austrian Govern ment frequently do me the honour to attack my letters to you, and even at times to say that my statements are incorrect (an assertion, par paren these, which to every :me who knows the Viennese Government is proof positive of their truth), per haps you will allow me to give an,example, not only of my exactness, but of the fact tl - at I really have access to very excellent information. Smile days back, you may remember, all the Viennese journals, together with the Augsburg Gazette and the other foreign journals devoted to Austrian po licy, declared that the great aristocrats had resolved to give up the pay and other emoluments of the military and civil appointments, in order to relieve the fearful financial embarrassments of the Go.. vernment ; but I stated to you, in contradiction to all these journals, that the said aristocrats contem plated doing nothing of the kind, and would do nothing of the kind, though earnestly solicited by that most unhappy of mortals the Minister of Fi nance. eli, the Wiener Zeitung, an official organ of Vienna, publishes a formal declaration to the effect that all those journals were wrong." DR. GUT.HIUE ON RAGGED SCUOOLS. At a meeting of the Edinburgh Original Ragged Schools, Dr. Guthrie exposad the absurdity and impolicy of Lord Palmerston's Act, whereby it is made imperative that before a boy can be admitted into a Reformatory School he must have undergone imprisonment for 14 days. He never had heard before of it being necessary for a person to have a criminal brand upon his bro v before he could be found entitled to the benefits of education at the expense of the State. Lord PalmerOon, however, said, if the Ragged School would take a child and endeavour to prevent him becoming a criminal, the Government would allow one penny per week • but if the boy had th e b ran d o f a conviction sending him 14 days to prison upon him, they would give them 7s. or Ss. per week for rubbing it out, if pos sible. He then gave an account of a visit which he paid to the Ackbar hulk, fitted up as a Reformatory Institution at Liverpool, and where he was received with the honours of as admiral ; and mentioned that none of the boys there could be received into the Royal Navy, although shey were admirably trained as sailors, because they had the brand of convicts on their brows. They were, however, eagerly run upon for the mercantile marine. ])r. Guthrie then pointed out the inconsistency of the Government making such large allowances to schools belonging to the Estab.ished Church, the Free Church, the Episcopalian Church, and the churches of the other denominations, when the most of the parents of the children educated there were perfectly able to pay for their education ; and he denounced the conduct of the Government in allowing £lOO a-year to the Royal Institution for a nude figure to be drawn from by the students, while their Ragged School, as he calculated, would get only Lou for 300 boys and girls rescued from vice and degra dation. It was a burning shame, and it was un worthy of the Government to treat them so, who we re saving immortal souls from destruction, and preventing them from growinc , up criminals and outcasts. The sum which the Government was to allow them was two-thirds of a farthing per day. He would say, perish the Government money rather than accept such an inadequate Pittance as that. He intended to double his own subscrip tion, and he appealed to the ladies to increase their subscriptions and efforts on behalf of the school, and to.inake up for the loss of the Govern ment grant. He concluded b y reading a l e tt er which he had received from a ploughman, en closing a subscription of 10s. towards the funds of the Ragged School, the writer stating that it was all he could a ff ord, as he had to su pport a widowed mother, he being her only son. EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPP.--• Il . er "Majesty's Emig ra ti on C omm i ss i oners h ave g i ven not i ce of their intention to receive tenders on Monday next, the 16th inst., for a ship to proceed to Table Bay, to carry net exceedin g 203 statute adults, to be ready for the reception of passengers on the 21st of February. Thu ship must be supplied with 50 fathoms of chain cable in addition to the quantity usually required for the Australian voyage, and must carry the full legal complement of water, and an ap paratus, if supplied by the Commissioners, for distilling water, cooking, and baking, for the use of which £35 are to be paid by the shipowner, who is to provide the requisite fuel, and passage out and home (but not wages), for a man to work the apparatus. THE LATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN LEEDS.--i Yesterday-, at the Leeds Town-hall, Theresa Watson and Martha Bates, the two women implicated in the late vio lent assault and robbery of Mr. James Trafford, a s ilk manufacturer from Leek, in Staffordshire, was again brought up on remand. There was no additional evidence, and the magistrates decided to discharge the prisoners on their entering into their own recognisances to appear when called upon.
