LONDON, THURSDAY. JANUARY 22, 1852. Senator Ceres has declared for the principle c f " non-intervention," and, - by so doing, has rendered himself the favourite of the Democratic party .in the. United Sates, among'all the candidates for the Ame rican Presidency. The occasion selected by him for this_very remarkable declaration was that of the real. banquet given on the 7th instant to Kossurn in the. city cf Washington. The adhesion thereby given' in by Mr. Cess to the advocates of Hungarian indepen dence, is a memorable occurrence, and one which cannot now be lost sight of by the Liberals among the Europeans. But a greater man than CASS has pronoenced in favour of Hungary—a greater man than Cass has proclaimed his sympathy for the leader of the Hungarian% DANIEL WEBSTER has held out the hand of fellowship to Kossrra, although he has not gone the length of asserting the necessity of war with the banded des pots of Christendom. Having been welcomed by the ' most distinguished citizens of the United States, having been cordially received by the most illustrious statesmen of the North American Republic, having been formally introduced to the presence of the House of Representatives, and having been feasted, more over, at the hospitable board of the PRESIDENT, Lours KOSSUTE was, on the 7th of January, entertained at the Congressional banquet given in his honour at the National Hotel of Washington. It was there that his cause secured to itself the important co-operation of the two eminent men whose names have been al ready specified. The speech in which, addressing himself to the Legislators of America, the eloquent Magyar declared his views in regard to the chances of European eman cipation, though evidently laboured throughout, was one in no respect unworthy of his lofty reputation as an orator. He commenced by drawing a parallel, or rather, by defining the contrast visible, between the political genius of the old world and of the new world—of the old Capitol and of the new Capitol. " The Capitol of old," said he, " yet stands, but the spirit has departed from it and come over to yours, purified by the air of liberty. The old stands a mournful monument of the fragility of human things—yours as a sanctuary of eternal rights. The old beamed with the red lustre of conquest, now darkened by oppression's gloomy night—yours beams with freedom's bright ray. The old absorbed the world by its own centralized glory—yours protects your own nation against absorption even by itself. The old was awful with irrestrictive power —yours is glorious with having restricted it. At the view of the old, nations trembled—at the view of yours, hu manity hopes. To the old, misfortune was only introduced with fettered hands to kneel at the triumphant conqueror's heels—to yours, the triumph of introduction is granted to unfor tunate exiles, invited to the honour of a seat ; and where Kings and CX3ARS can never be hailed,' for their powers, might, and wea lth, there the persecuted chief of a down -trodden nation is welcomed as your great Republic's guest, precisely because he is persecuted, helpless, and poor. In the old, the terrible we victis was the rule—in yours, protection to the oppressed, m a l e di ct i on to ambitions oppressors, and consolation to the vanquished in a just cause. And while out of the old a conquered world was ruled, you, in yours, provide for the com mon confederate interests of a territory larger then the conquered world of the.old. There sat men boast ing their will to be the sovereigns of the world— here sit men whose glory is to acknowledge the laws of nature and of nature's GOD, and to do that their sovereign, the people, wills. Sir, there is history in these parallels." Such was the exordium of the address pronounced by KOSSUTH before the assembled Legislators of the United States at Wash ington. It conveyed, as will be seen, a graceful and not uoineritsd tribute to the political independence of the Americans, a tribute, moreover, which came 1 with peculiar appropriateness from the lips of the Magyar Chieftain, seeing that to the immediate i n terposition of Congress in his favour be him self owed his personal liberation from Constan tinople. Alluding to the significance of the extraor dinary contrasts and coincidences observable in his tory--in that history which he nobly designated when be exclaimed, a little further on, " History is the revelation of PROVIDENCE "— KossuTEE reminded his auditors of the circumstance of CHATEABBRIAND having heard a Turkish priest announcing, in the Arabic language, the lapse of time to the Christians of the town of Minerva, the halm crying out, " Pray, man, for the hour is running fast, and the po judgment d raws nea r!" a s he stood upon theQQueen or a minaret raised upon the ruins of the acr d lib. piny liberator Less picturesque but not less entitled to consideratio n f rom the f act o f it s s i gn ifi c anc e , w as the t circumstance their guest amongst amonoefstKOSSlTTll himself, the leader and em of the Hungarians, standing as States, and addressi n g himselfthe Legislators of the United fact strikingly under the the illustrious KOSSIJTI: to their sympathies in Yet, while bringing this consider a ti on o f his hearers, could not refrain from re pudiatingobservation, any notion of egotism my principles, and though his part by that the pride of" Though I have justification of a just cause, still I have also though I have the oafterw. afterwards the essf con scienceadmira- ble of my personal humility." ble was the reference made by him shortly 1 to the purifying and elevating influence neisfor- 1 truth which be illustrated thus :—lt The palm t r ee grows best beneath a prodigious weight : eve n so the character of man : there is no merit in it : it is tune —a law of psychology." In allusion to the security a pos sessed by the institutions of his native land poss ibility of f r • against the po danger from his any other man's ambiti on, own, or from a the noble leader of the Hungarians remarked, that a municipal and federal system of govern.. meat was, from its very na ture, inimical to th e aggrandizeme n t o f individual power. " It is in th e garden of centralization," said he, " that the venomous plant of._ambition thrives :" observing, in addition to this, " with self-government is freedom, and with freedom is virtue and ambition—With centralization is ambition, and with ambition dwells despotism." ft is, consequently, i n the predilection of Hungary for h e r municipal institutions that I•he possesses bar safety from subjection to the will of any political adventurer. From . thi s i n di s putable fac4 Kossuvu drew the argument that his country bad a peculiar claim upon the sympathies of the people of I the United states, sympathies which, it will be per- , ceived, the Magyars have &inured to themselves by their incontestable union of valour, patrioti3m, at d magnanimity. _ _ ribose who have endeavoured very industriously to insinuate that the reception of KOSSUTH has been a failure in America, will find the most striking and conclusive refutation of this in the record of the hospitalities accorded to him, as we have above, briefly but sig nificantly, enumerated. His Excellency thought it but right himself to correct this mis-statement, when he said, in the speech to which we have here made such repeated reference, " I may be permitted to say that that respectable organ of the free press was mis taken which announced that I considered my coming hither to be a failare"—words, be it remembered, uttered by him on the 7th of January, at Washington 1 From all that we have remarked, it must be suffi ciently apparent that the accounts just received from the United States are in an eminent degree encou raging to the aspirants for the liberation of Hungary, and beyond this, also, for the advocates of the general emancipation of the prostrate nations of Christendom. The Reform movement goes bravely onward Those who know the effects of a stringent pressure from without on a body composed of such very "squeezable materials" as the GREY-RUSSELL Ministry are judiciously availing themselves of the short in terval before the meeting of Parliament to convey their views clearly, distinctly, and unequivocally to the Premier and his colleagues, that the voice of public opinion may penetrate even to the most secret recesses of Downing-street. It is impossible to misunderstand the meaning of such mag nificent demonstrations as those of Manches ter (to which we alluded in our impres sion of yesterday), of Leeds, and of Notting ham. They show that the defects of the present vicious system have been thoroughly and completely exposed, that the industrial population of the country can no longer be hoodwinked ; they perceive the nature of the remedies that must be applied, and are determined that the great, the all-important question, shall no loiqer be procrastinnted, but that a prompt decision must be arrived at one way or the other before the termination of the first week in February. If the present Government ere ready and willieg to carry the wishes of the people into execution, well. Notwithstanding their numerous transgressions they may yet be forgiven if now, even 1 : at the ,eleventh hour, they exhibit an earnest disposi tion to keep up with the spirit of the times, and to make amends for former tardiness. But if not, if they still slumber on in dull and listless apathy, patching and piecing with niggard hands, where they ought to renovate, let them give place to more vigorous and more courageous statesmen, and descend from the positions which they are no longer competent to fill with credit to themselves or advan tage to the country. This is the calm, but firm and unflinching resolution of the Reformers, and it is right that Ministers should be made acquainted with that determination. There are certain " points," none of which can safely be overlooked, and all of which must be dealt with in a liberal and enlightened spirit. The Reform Bill of 1852 must, like its prototype, have its ache. Jules A and B. The corrupt and rotten borough s can no longer be permitted to counterpoise or neutralize the more influential and honest constituencies. Shall the votes of the representatives of St. Albans—of persons for whom the stipulated electors, by whose suffrages they were entitled to p prices have been pai d to the free and inde pendent seats in the Commons House of Parliament—be re garded as equivalent to those of the Members for Manchester or Birmingham ? Shall the nominee of the ducal patron of Woodstock, whose boast it was " that he might cause his footman to be returned," if he thought proper, for that exemplary con. stituency, carry with him as much weight on public questions as the chosen representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire ? The question answers itself —it is really too self-evident to demand or admit o f argument. It is manifestly unjust, and no degr ee o f expediency can sanctify an injustice. But it is es impolitic as it is unfair and inequitable. Something must be done, a more equitable distribution of elec toral power must be conceded. We do not ask that the districts should be mapped out with mathe matical precision—that they should contain a cer tain number of square miles or yards, and that no circumstances should be taken into account to allow for any variations ; but there must be a substantial improvement on the present system, so that while the proportion of borough Members and county Members arranged in 1832 be observed, there shall be no constituency without at least 5,000 duly qualified electors on the registry. The extension of the suffrage is, of course, another point which must be fairly dealt with. It is intimately connected with the topic above alluded to; for how can any estimate be formed of the numbers of the electors until the nature of the franchise and the qua lifications of the voters be decided ? Mr. E. BAINES, in his admirable speech at the great Reform meeting at Leeds, suggested that the Parliamentary should be assimilated to the municipal franchise. This would unquestionably be a great concession, that would materially enhance the numbers of the voters, and it riould .probably have been willingly accepted some time since ; but we fear that it would not be regarded as satis factory at this moment, when the household suffrage, at least, is considered a public right ; for why should any man, possessing a fixed residence, however bumble, contributing to the rates and taxes of the country, be reduced to the condition of a political cypher, and deprived of a power of speaking by him self or through his representative, as to the laws by which he must be bound? We are told that there cannot constitutionally be any taxation without representation, but every householder is taxed, and therefore every householder is entitled to the elective franchise. We have so frequently expressed our opinions on the absurdity of the property qualification for Members, and the improper restriction on the freedom of choice, that it would be almost an act of supererogation to enter into that point at any great length. The declaration of Lord JonN RUS SELL in Parliament also proves that its abolition is resolved upon. That matter may, therefore, be considered as disposed of, save so far as it may be advisable to strengthen the hands of the Minis ters against the opponents of all reform. On the ballot the only real protection to the voter in the exercise of his highest privilege—and also of the duration of Parlia ment—matters that must be placed on a satisfactory foundation, we shall speak at greater length on another opportunity than our space now admits of. The " five points" must, however, be fairly consi dered and dealt with in an enlightened and compre hensive spirit, or the people will not be contented, and if not, fare well to the Whig Ministry and the political reputation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. CABINET COUNCIL. (Tnis Dsv).—The Ministers again assembled in:Council this afternoon - at the Foreign office, at two o'clock.

RUMOURED ATTEMPTED A SSASSINA TION OF THE PRESIDENT. It was rumoured that on Tuesday an attempt had been made by a lady to assassinate the PRESIDENT. According to the rumour, a lady, the wife of one of the recently dismissed Prefects, demanded au au dience of the PRESIDENT, which was refused ; but she watched her opportunity, and finding herself in his presence, rushed at him, and attempted to poinard him. She was at once arrested. The Patrie announces that all the ex-representa tives against whom decrees of pr oscr iption have not yet been issued have been permitted to return to their homes. By a decree dated the 17th, the following ex-re presentatives, expelled from th e F renc h t err it o ry, M. CHARRAS, lieut.-colonel of infantry ; M.M. CROLAT and MILLOTTE, captains of artillery ; and M. VALEN TIN, sub-lieutenant of infantry, are struck from the rolls of the army. M. ODIER, the celebrated banker, whose daughter was recently married to Genera! CAVAIGNAC, has addressed the following letter to the Observateur Beige : I read in your journal of January 12 an article about M. do Moray, from which it seems to result that you attribute the moLive which led him to write to my wife the letter relative t o the Setting General Cavaignac at liberty, to private and personal obligations which might have engaged his gratitude towards me personally.

N I.N G SPAIN. - - The neighbourhood of Madrid has recently been visited by a snow storm, more severe than has been witnessed for many years. The snow fell for two days so heavily, that all the roa ds were completely blocked up. The diligences from Segovia, Santander, Valladolid, R.l ffi -aan ce, Leon, the Asturias, and Ga licia,stop at Guadarama, a di s t ance were all o bli ge d to of about eleven leagues from Madrid, it being impos sible for: th em t o proceed any further towards th e capital, and so many private carriages w ere a l so stopped there that every house was filled. SWITZERLAND. From the acco unts given in the Swiss journals, it appears that the winter has been very severe in Ssvit zerland. On the 28th ult. the thermometer stood at 18 degrees centigrade below zero at St. Gall, and at 20 degrees at Appenzell. The lake . of Zurich is en tirely frozen ove r. At Fribourg, tne river Sariue is said to be frozen over, except where it is very rap id. What is remarkable, is that the coldis said to be l ess intense o n th e mo untains than in the valleys; the tem perature is milder in the Gruyere than at Fribourg, and at Altdorf than on the slopes of St. Gothard and the neighbouring mountains.

REUNION DES ARTS.—This young but flourishing society gave its ninth soiree of the series last night, at their rooms, 27, Queen Ann-street, and we have the greatest plea sure in bearing testimony to its complete success. The programme was numerous and well chosen, and we must compliment the directors, Messrs. Goll - and Gcffrie, upon their admirable taste in se l ec ti ng such music for p er f ormance, for which they cannot fail to be rewarded by the appreciation of all music lovers. Beethoven's b m agnificent quartett i n E flat, No. 1 0 , was exquisitly played y Messrs. Pollitzer, Golfri6, Lutgen, and C. Lutgen, as well as M en d elssohn's trio, in wh i c h Madame Goffrie sustained the pianoforte part in her accus tomed style of excellence. A duet, by Weber, for piano and clarionet, was perfectly re n d ere d by Messrs. Gollmick an d Boos& We seldom heard this difficult piece performed with such taste, precision, and brilliancy. Mr. Lutgen's solo on the violoncello was admirably performed, whilst songs and solos by Madam e Lemai re , Miss Rose, the Misses 31• Alpine, Miss Pearson, and Mr. Rummel, elicited the warm approbation of the whole audience. The rooms were crowded, notwith standing the inclemency of the weather. The tenth soirée will take place on Wednesday next, January 23. OjTHE NEW AUSTRIAN FINANCE MINIsTES.--M. de Baumgartner, the new Minister of Finance in Austria, is a native of Hedberg', in Bohemia, and is 57 years of age.

In 1818 he was appointed Minister of Public Works, and in 1850 h 3 also became Director of the Public Debt. In 1851 he was removed to the Ministry of Com merce, in the room of M. de Bruck. He is a member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of Vienna. MUNIFICENT DONATION TO THE EARLY CLOSING AssocinvoN.—With a view o ld- s t an ding debt , to relieve this society o f an Paul -nt i - •ng to nearly 3001., Mr. Hitch cock, of St. 'amous Churchy ar d, re cen tly stated that he they wou ld double any sum that --e association might raise within a month from that date (sth November last). En couraged by the munificence of this proposal, the at once commenced a vig orous canvass, which resulted in their raising members within the period specified 4061. It is stated, that although this sum exceeded what was anticipated would be collected, Mr. Hitchcock readily han ded over his cheque for the same amount thus placing a b a l an ce exceed ing 5001, at the disposal of the association, towards defray ing the expenses of its future operations. DESTRUCTIVE FIR E , ` — Yesterday morning, shortly after two o'clock, the inhabitants of Old Ford and Bow were aroused from their slumbers by the outbreak of one of the most extensive conflagrations that have visited those localities for some years past. The fire originated in the factory belonging to m e — r• J. Allen, termed the Wick-lane paper-staining wor.s. long, about 50 feet s. The premises were nearly 180 feet wide, and from 50 to 60 feet high. Although every exPedient was resorted to by the firemen to get the conflagration extinguished, it continued to rage for nearly three hours vast torrents of water , when it began to . succumb beneath the whole of the valuable stuckscattered over it.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export. The market conti nued tame, but Steady, without alteration in prices. The sales comprised 500 Peril= and Maranham, at 50. to 64d; 200 Bahia, at 50. to si; 200 Egyptian, at skl. to 7.. d.; 800 Surat, at 211 to 4d., and the remainder Ame rican.—Raiiway.

Here is a bank, prosperous in a high degree, rightly estimating the labours of those who have made it so, and who can doubt but that an increase of zeal will be the result? When we lately referred to the question of bank wages, we adverted to the necessity of offering some encourage ment of this hind, and we should now mantion, by the way, that this is not the first oc casion upon which the London and Westminster Bank had acted thus liberally. The whole affair reficts great credit on the manager, the board, and the proprietary. _ _ The controversy about Californian Gold Mine leases has brought out a pamphlet from Mr. Sargent's solicitor, to show that the Mariposa estate Lai been sold to his client, and there is evidently no doubt upon the point, as the following particulars will prove:— " TO MR. T. D. SARGENT, LOND'2N. " Washington November 10, 1851. " have just received from Colonel Fremont his full and regularly authenticated power of attorney, to ratify and carry into eff., , ct the conditional sale that was made to you of tho Mariposa estate. " I shall act for him as soon as you arrive hero to execute your part of it. I go to St. Louis to-morrow, but will return in eight days after being telegraphed of your arrival. "This puts an end to all Mr. Hoffman's operations since the date of the sale, which I believe was the 7th of July; and as he was authentically in:ormed of it, at the time, ell that he may have done since in the way of leases is void. " Yours very truly, (Signed) " THOMAS H. BENTON." " When the leaer from Colonel Benton, of the 10th November was received," says the solicitor, " I sent the following notice to all the Gold Mining Companies, founded upon Mr. Hoffman's leases signed since he had notice of the sale; and I also forwarded a copy to Mr. Hoffman. "TO THE-DIRECTORS 9R COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT OF TEE GOLD MINING C,XPANY. "2, New Inn, 24th November, 1851. " Gentlemen ,_Mr. Thomas Denny Sargent, of Wash ington, now in London, having received from Colonel Benton, the father-in-law of Colonel J. C. Fremont, by the steamer Europa, just arrived, a ratification, dated the 10th instant, of the contract signed on the 7th July last, at New York, with Mr. Sargent, for the sale to the latter of all Colonel Fremont's Mariposa Estates and Gold Mines, and notice of such contract having in July last been given to Mr. David Hoffman, who has since pretended to grant leases of all portions of Colonel Frernont's estates, desires me to inform you, that all leases or contracts signed by the said Mr. Hoffman regarding those estates or mines, since such notice to him, will be treated by Mr. Sargent as invalid, and as requiring his express sanction and confirmation in writing before having any validity. " You will, therefore, after this be pleased to take warning what proceeding you adopt either with Mr. Hoffman or with your shareholders or . other persons. " I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " J. DUNC AN." •' The original lease of the West Mariposa Mine, for merly called, in California, • Santa Maria,' is in the hands of the directors of the West Mariposa, Company. The signature to it, as stated in my letter to Colonel Fremont, has been verified by the, lion. Abbott Law rence; and the examination of it will prove that most important fact, which I assert (overturning all assertions that it has been forfeited) thas it does not contain the clause inserted in Colonel Fremont's other leases that machinery must be erected within 12 mouths, or the lease be void. " The original lease of the San Carlos Mine (sold as I have stated in my letter to Colonel Fremont at the end of November to the Ave Maria Company) is in the -hands of the respectable solicitors of that company, Messrs. Wilkinson, Gurney, and Stevens, Nicholas lane,i Lombard-street, where it also can be inspected." The Stock Market had rather an iMproving tone early in the day, but has become a little weaker since. The report that an attempt has boen msde to assassinate Louis Nalooleen does not obtain much credence here, though most persons expect that there will be such at tempts frequently. Consols have realised 96i to and are now 96i- The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 98/ to and the Three per Cents. 97* tot. Bank Stock has been very steady at 2161, and India Stock et 261. Exchequer Bills are 561. to 59g. premium. An improvement has occurred in the Foreign market, in Mexican Bonds, which have realized from 29i and 30 to 30 and 30k. The American mail brings the speech of the Pre sident of Mexico, in which the financial poiiti ou o f the Republic is described as being . "eery threateni ng ," pressed that the Extraordinary Con but a hope is ex gross, by its exertions, has paved the way fur a better state of things. Brazilian Old Bonds have been at 94k ; and Chilien at 101 i; Equedor are firm at ai to owing to the idea started that there are gold mines in that state. Spanish Five per Cents, are 23 to i; and the new Deferred Three per Cents, 184; Portuguese Four per Cents. are 344. French Three per Cents. are 674, with the exchange at 25 35. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are 92 to 4. Business in Railway Shares continues very dull, and prices are in a few cases rather lower. Some o f the French lines, however, have been at improved rates, compared with the lowest prices paid yesterday. Gold Mine Shares are rather heavier. The number of Australian companies being brought out is against premiums, but for investment many offer a deciied temptation.
