The work is illustrated by meps, and is full of useful information. The various raci , s or which the Hungarian ptople are composed, the his tory of the country under the Empire, the recent re- Volution, and more especially the prospect o that revolution w hi c h, may with c-nfid. , Lce bt expect; d, f 'are here det s il e d sod combnenied upon in a very in letwing and attractive manner. HUNGARIAN GRAMMAR. A gramm3 -- rontrel4uniarian language, with Appropriate exercises and a copious vocabulary, to which are added specimens of Hungarian poetry, has just been publi,ned. The auy hor is Stgismand Wekey, late Aide-de-Camp lo Kossuth. Ic is appro priately dedicated to Lord Dudley Stuart. Li his preface the author remarks that "the illugur tongue is the key to the heart of the Magyar people," hence it is his hope to make the English people better ac quainted with the latter by introducing the former to their notice. LECTURES ON THE IiESULTS OF THE Cilik.4l2' EXHIBITION. Bogue. At the suggestion of Prince Albert, the President of the Society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, twelve lectures were ' delivered at that institution by some of the ablest professors of the day, relative to 4. the probable results of the Great Exhibition of 1851. The introductory lecture was 'delivered by,. the Rev. W. Whewell, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, ' on " the general bearing of the Exhibition on the 'progress of arts and science. Richard Owen, F.R.S., jacoli - Bell, M.P., Lyon Playfair, F.R.S., J. Lind ley, ER S., Protestor E. Sully, F.A.S., Rev. R. Willis, M.A., F.R.S , H. Elensrnan, EFT, Professor J. F. Boyle, F.R.S,, and Captain Washington, • R.N., F.R.S., severally lectured on the various sub jects exhibited, and in general a summary of the dis covery and gradual adaptation of the subject under - discussion. One of the most interesting portions of the work is that part of Captain Washington's lecture which treats on the construction of life boats. It is pretty well known, by all who take an interest in ' shipping, how much we are indebted to the Duke ot Northumberland, who, seeing bow great was the de fiCiency in number, and how imperfect the construc tion ot the life-boats along our coasts, which was the cause of frequent accidents, offered a liberal ie reward for the best model of a life-boat; the *con .. sequence of which was that 280 models and plans a Were sent in, not only by our own countrymen but /o '-* s by the maritime states of the continent, and also by our Transatlautic brethren. S - me fif ty o f t h e '9'' best of these formed the Duke's contribution to the Exhibition. A report on these models, accompanied 'by plans and drawings of the most approved of them, Was prepared at the expense of his Grace, and 1,900 copies of it gratuitously distributed not only through out the length and breadth of our island, but to all the - maritime nations of Europe and the United States of .works. In addition to which the Duke publicly expressed"his intention of placing th e b es t lif e -b ows that can b e built, and ' every means of saving life from shipwreck, on all . the exposed _ points of '• "NorthUmberl lid. The first life -host used in Eegl4rid was invented by Henry Greatheed, of South Shield:4, in 1789. Although weedy inferior to th., bouts in use at the present time, nevertheless her performances were so much appreciated that the Society of Arts rewarded the inventor with a gold medal and fitly guineas in 1802, and Parliament Voted him 1,2001. in acknowledgment of the utility Of his invezeien. This work is well worthy the attention of the pub l ic generally ; for no matter what his profeSsion or pursuit, the reader will out of these twelve lectures be sure to find one or more of them from whiCh he may derive useful and practical in formation. M. VICTOR kIUGO.—Oo Wednesday evening M. 1441. Victor Hugo left the Waterloo-station for Jersey, by the le,. eight o'cieck mail train, after a stay in London of three days. s e , Drivep from France for the free expression of his opinions concerning the coup critut, in his pamphlet, entitled "Napo.. leon le Petit," M. Hugo took refuge in Belgium; but, fear ful of giving offence to the President, the nelgian Govern- , t‘",, and t politely requested him to proceed upon his journey; • e _, accordingly, on M on d ay morning, he arr i ve d i n Lon -1:laLoe• and took up his abode at an insignificant little tavern, :en-street, Windmill -street, called the Hotel de Nor eher 'During his short stay, M. Hugo, unlike many cou rt ruical. refugees, seemed rather to avoid than to table cr atseeles at th e ta e b ,Pub , lic gaze; and, although he dined every day to f ew b ` 44 te of the hotel, hisresence there was known such exiled the usual freque nters' of the house. This constantly frequented by French artists and obt n g t erateurs as, not having enough assurance to a entree to the tables ot wealthy lion-hunters, are i nee "Y n itessity or by inclination to seek its modest and 17ePeristre hospital; and to witness the earnest and respectful demeanour with which these gentlemen conducted Wolves towards M. Hugo was a touching spectacle. ‘'n Wednesiay morning, at breakfast, the Hotel de Nor his respdie was visited by M. Louis Blanc, who c ame to pay " ects to the exiled poet. M. Hugo is eccornpanied in his wanderings by his younger son, a fine handsome Young fellow, of about three or four and twenty. (WTHR LEEDS GAROTTE ROBBERIES.--yesterday ednesday) the seven men in custody, char ge d w i th as vaulting and robbing two persons at ' the west-end of Leeds, on the night o f th e 24th ult.,. were finally b rought before the magistrates, and all ot them committed for trial at the next assizes or winter gaol delivery at York. Bail was ap. Plied for on behalf of two of the prisoners, but peremptorily refused. Coleman, who was " garotted" with a degree of severity which bad almost produced loss- of life, is recover ing, though slowly, from the effects of the infamous outrages . perpetrated upon him.

From Neath a.number of persons have taken their departure, and an increasing number are prepar ing to follow their example. At Pontypridd, likewise, a number of hardy young men are about to seek their , for tune at the Antipodes; and from Laugharne and St. Clears many farm labourers have quitted their homes for the diggings. Large parties will soon leave the more popu lous towns, such as Swansea, Carmarthen,&c., in addition to the persons who have already lett. Hitherto the exodus has been to a large extent to the United States; but the current has now been turned to Australia.—lier. ford Times. FMK AND Lose or Luc regn-t to state that a disastrous fire, whereby a large quantity of agricul tural produce and one human lite were sacrificed, occurred On Friday last at b iry. The daughter of the de ceased, Mr. Blackford, a maa very generally esteemed by present in a v er y precarious his fellow-citizens, lies at Mate, having been seized with hysteric fits when she heard of the sad accidet.t which had befallen her. It appears that two large ricks of hay and straw, situate near Malmesbury, and belonging to Mr. Hulks, of the latit.office, were dis covered to be on fire between I and 8 o'clock in the evening of the day above named. The alarm being given, a number of the inhabitants hastened to the spot with a view of endeavouring to extinguish the flames, and among them was tho deceased, who was landlord of the King's Arms Inn. The deceased mounted to the top of the hayrick, a portion of which had not apparently been reached by the flames, and directed the men in she distribution of the water. He was heard to call out " There was no water wanted," at a Spot et whiCh'he was thrn-ting his stick, and then he was seen to turn himself round, but the next moment he fell into the burning mast and disappeared in the. flames Ur. Cadby, chemist, at. the risk of his own life, rushed Lrward and suc ceeded in dragging the body from the flames. Mr. Blackford was dreadfully burnt, and though medical assistauce was promptly at hand, it was evident he could not survive the injuries he had received. He was removed to his own resi dence on a abutter, where he lingered till the middle of the next day, when death put an end to his sufferings. The ricks belonging to Mr. Hanks were entirely consumed. The fire, it is imagined, originated from the dampness of the hay when it was put together. TRIAL TRIP or THE WEST INDIA MAIL PACKET .Lk- PLATA.—La Plata, Royal West India M a il C omparfee paddle-wheel steam-packet, purchased by the c ., napany from the British Nor h American Company, was tried down the Clyde on Tuesday. ' The directors of the Mail Company, ac companied by Messrs. Steele, of Greenock, and Mr. Robert 'Napier, of Glasgow, who fitted the engines, were on board. The trial was a most satisfactory one. The rate of speed, al lowing for tide, on the run down to the Cumries, and a few minutes' easing, was; on the average, about 14 knots. The etting.up of the Ail)' in all respects, is most commodious and .entit, and, the daybeieg fine, all parties who attended the 01 1) greeted La Plata Most heartily on leaving her. which was responded to by the captain and officers, and parties who were going round in the ship to Liverpool.

A pleasant contribution, sugg , -sted by an agreeable volume so entitled, expatiates upon the beauties of " Art and Nature under an Italian Sky" --and so, as, ' with a eunburst, opens she current number of ihe old Quarterly. Although a private individtial, and ultheugn as such the Publisher, through the medium of his'' History of the War of Affghanistan," ofoffieiul do-, cuinents, Mr. Kaye comes in for some words of . and not undeserved commendation from warm one of the ablest and evidently not the most easily pleased of . the reviewers. A political paper on poor Ireland-- anent the " New 'lt - formation," a s it is called—fol lows, -and the very bilious complexion of the', argument may be conjectured, shined upon as it must have been throughout by t h e - ca daverous and somewhat sinister visage of a downright Orangeman. The,next article is a cull. osity. It throws a new and wholly unexp , cted light . upon the history of the Great Napoleon. The writer of this article, it seems, has been favoured with a view o f th e memoirs or autobiography of Count Mollien, still in manuscript. Count Mollien was during several years the Finance Minister under the French Emperor, and his revelations—by no means thCiie of a partizin, and in the present instance filtered, re member, through the anti - Bonapartist medium of the Quarterly—reveals in a wondrous .manner the scope of the master mind, of the French Sesostris in a wholly new department. Napoleon appears here be fore.the world as a perfect master of the details of finance. His industry in the conduct of this vast por tion of the machinery of his government as, shown-by Mollien, and here quoted by the Quarterly, is too wonderful not to be borne in especial recollection. Count Mollien says— " It would is deed have been difficult for any of the Ministers of Napoleon not to communicate their plans :o him, which were always minutely discussed before they received his final sanction; for though he left to them the choice of means of execution, he chose that every improvement should teem to be his own work. His MM• den elevation rendered it a matter of poliCy with him to delegate possible of hi e public authority; so a and everywh ere the man of neces lteaga remain as little always as sity.leen carried on long and divers correspond °flees. I t th e y were all collected it would be incredible that any single man could have sufficed to do so much; and in each of thee) . be proved that he entered into every subject and every circumstance as if he had nothingelse to think of, adapting ell rules and principles to his own paramount interest in forcing the most opposite elemehts to combine in his system: But in these curresporichnees none proves more thoroughly the patience with which he investigated the most arii then that which be carried on with myself. I. is perhaps the most singular polimique de chi ffree that ever existed. I ft., quenily .i n the early period of my Mieistry received letter, of many p.ges, solely intended to anal) zR long calcuieti6n,, to investigate statements, to divide statistics, and to present the same results under. other forms. The pini pal b ject of thi se dis cuss i ons was to keep at. r et c , iet f. or. ants in perpetual distrust o f th tw e lv es and of their subordinates: he h a d no linger to dispute the superiority of power, but he disputed with every one the superiority of ; attainments."—Voi. it., p. 42. Immediately. after this contribution we fi n d a review; all things considered, marvellously g enerous and ‘ genial, of ‘ Lord Cockburn 's Life of Jeffrey."

If this view be more correct, and it is sanctioned by the very highest authority, the in ference, however startling, is - inevitable, that the whole of the labour of the Masters hits been entirely thrown away, and that for the delay, ex pense, and vexation of the. Blasters office the . suitor has had no equivalent whatsoever. The trouble of referring matters to the Master, of hearing exceptionseo his report, of sending matters back to be again reported on, and of giving' fur ther directioes when reports can be multiplied no more, I, exxc e y ' eq ual to the trouble of deciding the matter at once in the first instance: We have had absolutely no consideration for the 30,000/. a year which our Masters oa S , , •.• the suitor has receiv e d no benefit whatever from their I Mars. It has been pure Inas, pure waste, pure vexation —labour for the sake of labour, coats for, the sake of costs , dela y for the sake of delay. Bow strange • tea' Chancellor after Ch'incellot., commission after coot • mission, should be unable to fled this out, and that, =after sahmitlier to this system for three hundred eaars, :we should tftilY alter that antediluvian period away, to the conviction of ire utter worthlessness!

' • we-regret to' see that the recommendations of :the -Comtism' Ltaw CfMtnissionere:do not meet with equal favour in the eyes of the council of the Law Ameedannt Society. Thi s may, id aome:degree, arisest tom the,so 6'ietyehaving• a rival plan of its own for amending common law procedttre, which it is not unnatural it should prefer; 'but it is only duefto a• body'so eminent and so disinte rested in the cause of reform to believe that they would Pot have pronounced so emphatic a ct•nsure if they had 'tot bten persuaded of its justice. • A short comparison of the-rivarschernes for amending common law proce dure, will enable our renders to form an opinion as to the Merits •of thli very important controversy. Th e Oomihon Las , / Caimissioners started with the very rea onatile proposition that .t weeeimpossible to reform the pleadhig and t h e kactieaof the courts of common law without abolishing the technical forms of action. When, however, they came to,put this into pr ac ti ce, they per aeived, :whaewe had before pointed out to them, that it it was in these very forms of action the distinction between Law and Equity Consisted, and that if they Were - abolished, dither. a new technical system mast he raised on their ruins, •or the fusion of Law and Equity, whose division was perfectly orbi friary and artificial,' would immediately take place. Not being prepared for so startling a consequence, and pos sibly nut conheiving such it recommendation to be within the powers entrusted to them, the Commissioners drew from their first recommendation, and retained the tech nicalities whose abolition they bad recommended. Their second• principle was that a technical system of pleading was necessary, and this • they have carried out by re trenching mapy absurdities and superfluities and by substituting for them nevit'forms - oftheir ' own; though is this'respect also they have , probably in defrence 't the criticisms of the press, abandoned considerably o More thin half of' the alterations recommended in the report and suggested in their Bill. A th • d• I ir principle was to 'abolish the fictiona of the action of ejectm en t, and to substitute for it a proceeding less encumbered with abserditiee. Th . • . • • . This was right. We have no love f John Doe and Richard f or though we must admit that three dethronedpotentatesßoe, mid have been cr() tiet the' leaet valuable legacies of Oliver nivvell's Government.

Having thus, as fairly as we can, stated the merits of this:controversy, wl .must .say, 'hat in comprehensive ness. of view, as well as in soundness of argument, the scale seems -to preponderate in favour of the Lew Amendment Society, and we'-greatly fear that their an ticipations-of disappointment from •the measure so ex ultteglv claimed for Lord Derby by his adherents may be realized, and that we may shortly see them as anxious to hand it.over to the -Whigs as they now are to engross its fancied merits themselves. It. appears. to us that there is one fair=way of deciding -the controversy, by a practical appeal.- The procedure of common law, having received all the - amendments deemed .neeessary, is of course in .a. fit condition to encounter and overcome the opposition-of the' County CoUrts. •It would have been unfair to have exposed the common law courts to this . competition. while they - weremnder the disadvantage of antiquated forma and obsolete technicalities. These, we are told, are now- removed, and therefore th e common law courts aro in a position to stand their own ground without relying on monopoly . guarautced by Act of Parliament. There can, therefore, we presume, bo no longer any objPction to giving the County Courts con current jurisdiction tocey amount. If the common law courts retain their business, this will be a conclusive proof that the Ccimmissionera , are right, and the Law Amendment Society wrong. If the • business is trans ferred to the County Courts, it mill clearly show that the remedy. of the Commissioners is inadequate to the occasion, and that the access of the people to cheap and 'speedy justice ought no longer to - be delayed ia, the vain hope that. Weetminster•hall will efficiently reform itself. EXTRAORDINARY SuicinE.--A painful sensation prevailed durihg yesterday in the vicinity of Covent -garden, in consequence of a report being circulated that Mr. H. Snowden, the proprietor of the.dining-iobms in Maideii.lane, bad committed self-destruction. • It appears that about four o'clock' in the morning the unfortunate man' got up, and told his wife that he was going to market. She expostu lated with him, anditold him it was too soon. He, however, replied that he should go and see, and if it was too early he would come to bed , again„ , Ile then left the room, and no thing more waiseen , of him until one of the men servants went into the kitchen, where he was astonished at perceiving a man's legs sticking. out of the water cistern, and upon making . a more minute examination he found that his master had precipitated himself' head 'foremost into the cistern, which contained only about three feet of water. Assistance having been obtained, be was pulled out, and a medical gen tleman trent for, but' his attendance was of no avail, as life was quite extinct. What could have induced the deceised to destroy himself is - a perfect mystery. •He went to bed the previous• night. in his usual excellent state of health rod spirits, and was about the last person his friends would have expected to commit suicide., and' THE COLLISION ON THE CLYDE.—We in the that the bodies of the two ,persons who were drownedstearner river on' Satuiday by leaping from the deck of the vssei underst Citizen, immediately,after the collision betWee l .l ..... z " ti , at of and the Princess Aliee, have both been .recdyrre lot, b e i n g the mother, whose name is IPlnlay, the wife rh:e r f mi l ici found on Friday attain ton, and that mantled the course of 'yesterday.

Such a day's racing has never been witnessed on Brighton Dawns, and it is satisfactory es, be en a bled to - add that there i s every prospect of the second and third day being equally good. The weather —agreeably disappointing the fears enp-ndered by the heavy rains on Tuesday afternoon—turned outextratnely fine; the campany:in cons( qnence was large and fashion able, and the grand stand, which has been greatly ims proved by the widition of a commodious suite of rooms tor the transaction of the business of the course (includ ing cue for the reporters), crowded. The opening, in short, was worthy GI the Que e n of watering places, are bound to add, however, that the late hour at which the races commenced, a quarter before th.ee, was very generally disapproved ; and that the half-hour in tervals rendered it impossible to keep time, and caused the sports to be protracted until nearly seven o'clock.

I beg to refer you to the Registration Act, 6th Viet., chap. 18, sec. 4, from which 3ou will find that the 20th ultimo was the last day for county voters to send in their claims; and to sections 7 and 17, from which you will find that Wednesday, the 25th inst., is the last day for objections (by other than overseers) for both counties and boroughs. Also, to section 15, from which you will find that persons omitted from the borough lists must, on or before Wednesday, the 25th inst., send a claim to the overseers to be inserted in such lists. Also to sections 37 and 38, from which you will find that the revising barrister bas power to insert in both county and borough lists the names of claimants omitted therefrom by the overseers, on proof being given by such claimants of their claims having been duly made, and of their qualifications. You will perceive by the above remarks that the 25th inst. is the date that should have been inserted in your paragraph.
