`;-?G~ LORD MAYOR'S DAY. INTRODUCTION OF THE LORD MAYOR TO THE BARONS OF THE COURT OF EXCHEQUER. A few minutes befo r e two o 'clock the Lord Mayor, e the late Lord M a y or , th e Right Hon. the Recorder, ld r.m Town an A Finnie, Alderman Sir W. Cubitt , Alderman and Sheriff Kennedy, Alderman and Sheriff R ose, the Clerk, the City. Solicitor, and several of the members of the Court of Common Corincil entered th e Court. A slight mistake occurred in the positions occupied by the Lord Mayor and the late Lord Mayor. According to the usual practice, the Lord Mayor ought to have taken his station at the right hand of the Recorder, and the late Lord Mayor on the left of that right hon. gentleman ; but by some inadvertence the late Lord Mayor was placed at the right hand of the ne w Lord Mayor—•a circumstance to which, it will be seen, the Lord Chid' Baron alluded at the close of his address. The Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Al derson, and Mr. Baron Martin having taken their seats on the bench, The RECORDER, addressing them, said that in pursuance of the duties attached to the office ho had the honour to hold, and in maintenance of an ancient right, ho had the honour to appear in that court upon that occasion for the purpose of presenting to their Lordships, the Barons of her Majesty's Exchequer, the gentleman who had been se lected by the citizens of London, in the exorcise of their prerogative, to fill the chief seat of authority for the ensuing year he had the honour to introduce to their Lordships Mr. David Salomons ' who had been elected by his fellow- c iti zens t o fill the high office of Lord Mayor. On former occasions it had been one of his duties to give utterance to the expression of his confidence in the ex cellence of the selection which had been made by the citizens of London in the gentleman who had preceded the Lord Mayor in that high office, but upon the pre sent occasion the circumstances concerning that choice were of a nature so novel and so important that he felt it a portion of his duty to express his opinion that the day upon which the present Lord Mayor was elected would form a memorable day not only in the annals of the city of London but in therhistory of religious freedom. It was well known that the present Lord Mayor was a member of the Jewish persuasion, themembers of which had for many ages been scattered throughout the earth, had been a pro scribed people, and had been the marked objects for bitter oppression and cruel persecution ; but of later times that oppression and that persecution had very considerably di minished, even if it had not been totally abandonnd by most nations. In their own country, however, there had been no disposition to interfere with persons of the Jewish persuasion in the exercise of their commercial pursuits, and gradually and by degrees such had been the effect of civi lisation that almost every shackle which bad formerly op pressed that people had been removed. The family of Mr. Alderman Salomons had for upwards of a century been con nected with the city of London as merchants, as under. writers, and in the general commerce of the country; . while the alderman himself bad been distinguished as a patron of genius in every form in which it had appeared, and his conduct had been marked by energetic and sue , eessfal efforts in the promotion of education and civilisa tion. And he might here be permitted to add, that Mr. Sa'omons had been equally celebrated for the large chari table contributions by which he had endeared himself to his fellow-citizens. It was not alone by this election that Mr. Salomons would be hailed by the members of his corn inu.nity as their champion, but it would be borne in re membrance that he had successfully vindicated their right to hold municipal offices. In the year 1831 Lord Denman, whose name could not be mentioned under that roof but with the strongest feelings of respect and veneration, who was then the Common Sergeant, had advised the corpora tion of the city of London that they could admit Jews to certain municipal offices by administering to thorn such an oath as would be binding on their conscience. In the year 1835 Mr. Salmons ' having distinguished himself for his charitable contributions and his benevolent efforts in the city, was chosen one of the sheriffs for London and Mid dlesex ; and in order to remove any doubt as to whether, being of the Jewish persuasion,' he was competent to fill the office, a special act of Parliament was brought in and passed by both houses, and accordingly, on the 29th of Sept. of that year, Mr. Salomons assumed the duties of sheriff. In the course of the same year Mr. Salomons was elected Alderman of the Ward cf Aldgate, but at that time there were certain oaths and a declaration required to be taken by the holder of that office, which Mr. Salo mons, with his religious feelings, was unable to subscribe to, and the result had been that tho Court of Alder men had found themselves conscientiously compelled to appeal to the law on the subject. Accordingly, pro ceedings were taken in the Court of Queen's Bench, when a decision was arrived at in his favour ; but, on an appeal from that decision to the Court of Exchequer Chamber, that Court held that the taking of the oath and declaration which was required by the act of George IV. could not be evaded. Some time after this Mr. Salomons was elected to the office of High Sheriff of the county of Kent, and in that case it was held that it was not necessary for him to subscribe to the declaration to which he ob jected. That office Mr. Salomons had filled to the fullest satisfaction of all parties. In the year 1844 Mr. Salomons was again elected an alderman of the city of London, but the law remaining thesame as at his former election to that office he was again rejected by the Court of Aldermen. About this time a noble and learned lord (Lyndhurst) brought in a bill the effect of which was to enable persons of the Jewish persuasion to accept and hold municipal offices, one resalt of which was that Mr. Salomons was again elected an alderman in the year 1847. Mr. Alderman Salo mons being deeply impressed with a feeling of gratitude for this peaceful triumph of the cause of civilisation and education, manifested his gratitude by the estaulishment of a perpetual scholarship of 501. a-year in the City of London Schools. Having been appointed an alderman in 1847, Mr. Salomons thought it right to perfect himself as far as possible in the duties which would devolve upon a magistrate, and became a member of that profession of which he himself was proud, and of efhich their lordships were such distinguished ornaments. In the year 1850 he was elected as ole of the reisresentatives fur the borough of Greenwich ; as their lordships were probably aware, the right of the Alderman to sit without taking certain oaths had become the matter of legal proceedings, which were still pending. The citizens of Loudon, however, re joiced that whatever difficulties might exist in respect of the law as to Mr. Alderman Salomons taking his seat in the House of Commons, yehthere there was noteing to prevent their electing him to fill the high office of chief magistrate of their city. There was an important year before them; the year which had just passed had also been one of milked importance, and it might be that the ensuing year might be distinguished by the crowning of their triumphs and a happy peace. He had given an outline of the history of the present Lord Mayor, and it was upon the grounds which he had stated that the citizens of London had chosen him as their chief magistrate. He doubted not that at the terthinatiou of his year of office the Lord Mayor would bo greeted with the same expression of esteem, respect, and satisfaction which had greeted hiM at the conclusion of his shrievalty. Sir Francis Graham Moon, who now retired from the office of chief magistrate, had discharged its func tions in a manner which had not only redouuded to his own credit, but had shed lustre over the body of which he is a member. Sir Francis Moon had had the good fortune • to fill that office in a year which had been distinguished by the visit of those illustrious persons, the Empei or and Em press of the French. He had also the unusual gratificath n of entertaining as his guests the Prefect of Paris and a nu merous deputation from the municipal body of that city. Ile, with other members of the corporation, had subse. quently paid a visit to Paris, and one result would be to content the growing attachment between the people of the two countries, and thus show to the world at large that the people of those countries were but as one community. Sir Francis Moon, at the termination of his year of office, retired into coinparative private life with the esteem and respect of his fellow-citizens. The CHIEF BARON said he had to congratulate the Lord Mayor, on being presented in that Court, as having been chosen by his fellow-citizens to fill the highest position in the greatest commercial city the world had ever beheld. The election- of the Lord Mayor was marked by a variety of cir cumstances which had become part of the history of the country. It was gratifying to find that the tone of religion had so mo d erated that owing' to his conduct his fellow citizens had dielned him worthy of presentation to her Majesty as qualified to fill the highest municipal office which th ey could confer upon him. The Lord Mayor had also been deemed worthy of being appointed a magistrate not only of th e c i ty of London, but of two counties. It was gratifying, furthermore to of coapare th e t o l era ti on o f th e present day with th e state 4 as th e y h a d ex i s t e d i n that country very li tt l e more thalugna century since. When, in the year 1753, a bill was passed r by th e L eg i s l ature to Pe enable persons of the Jewishpersuasion to beco me natural oftemony ised without taking a p ar t in the in which th e y could not join without profanation ai n e r tise to so much public clamour and public disturbancet that year, that one of the first measures introduced into ing Parliament during during the ensuing session was an act to repeal not on the ground that there was any appreh ! Pe nsion Of th l t° dan ger arising to the Christian religion itself, but because it produced so much public disturbance and clamour that the peace of the country was endangered, and the effect, in all probability, would have been to drive out of the country all persons who professed Jewish opinions. The Lord Mayor appeared iu that court upon the present occasion to assert the right of the citizens of London to elect their own chief officer, and to claim for the citizens all those privileges and immunities which they had enjoyed from ancient times. He had no doubt that by his be nevolence and charity, of which so much had been attributed to him by the learned Recorder, he would at the termination of his veer of office, retire with as much honour and credit to himself as had distinguished any of his predecessors, many of whom had taken a high place in the. history of the country. He believed that, should any public disturbance arise during his year of office, the Lord Mayor would be prepared to exercise the authority or the chief magistrate with that firmness and energy which ought to belong to one filling so high an .officer. But, for hiruself, lie must say he saw no cause for apprehension of any . public disturbance. With regard to the late Lord Ma yor, Sir Francis Mo on, hi s year of office had expired, Che was happy to congratulate him uporais retirement erne a Comparative station of private life; nevertheless he ly ° ll d have many duties tr carry out, which he would -dotibtlees lated him accomplish with credit to himself. He congratur ire por hoat upon the way in which he had -discharged the visit of the ituales which had fallen to his lot during the . _plerror and E m p ress o f th e F rench. He was happy also on having been h e the opportunity of congratulating him with the title uhieehboured, by the favour of her Majesty, p7r1,1 descend occasion of that was to his children, on the c a. (m an s Ile would now advert to a circumstance witl:BlaWatsist!d some little confusion in the court. His im at until the esent occasion the' Court had always received intimation from the civic authorities as to the period at w 7 h i n c t t , it i l i t a e Lord Mayor would be presented to the Barons. not been dons in the present instance, and therefor e the B arons had no t b een asuientrance. Look -1 in court to receive the Lord Mayor o n t ing at the arrangement of the civic hotly before the Court, he could not help renearkiiej then st oo d e thatthey had not " the right man in the right place," for, i the Lord Mayor being on the right hand side, and the of late Lord Mayor on the left hand side of the Recorder, he found that both w e r e o n the right hand side of that learned 'func tionary. N ex t year , w hen he should have the happi ness o receiving the Lord Mayor on his retirement, he hoped to see all p ar ti es i n t h e i r r i g ht p l aces . The usual oaths were then administered, and e 'he Recorder, by the command of the Lord Mayor, in at the eited their Lordships to partake of a banquet to be given The that evening. P BARON said that some of the members of isohnetCo. urt would do themselves the honour of being pre- THE BANQUET given by the Lord TAE and Sheriffs on their accession to office, took place a usual at the Guildhall. The decora tion of this splendid theatr e of city festivity, with the ad jacent apartments requisite for the accommodation of the [pleats, was intrusted to Al.r. Bunning, the c ity arc hit ec t, who acquitted hi mse lf of the duty in a manner whi c h folly sustained his previous reputation for ar ti st i c taste. The lobbios and promenadin g and reception rooms were orna mented with a profusion of pl ants, statuary, and armorial 1 TRA 17 : q. .1.412411,±1 A I' 11 : _s N 0 vEmEipiiit 10, 1 8 -~ trophies, and in some of the larger apartments very beau tiful transparencies were exhibited. In the banquetting-hail the compartments of the great I eastern window, above the dais o ccu pi e d by the Lord Mayor and the principal guests, were filled in with a large allego rical transparency, painted by Messrs. Fenton and Abso loin. The principal figure of this design represented Liberty pointing to the printing press—the emblem of civilisation. —which, with Education and. Justice (represented by alle gorical figures), are dispelling Superstition, Prejudice, and other evil passions. Below this design is tee motto , the Lord Magna est et prievalebit." Immediately behind Lord Mayor's seat, and beneath the large transper i on o. cy, were portraits of the Sultan, Omar Pasha, the Sing of Sardinia, and General Della Mennors. The splendid glass to star of the Order of the Garter, presented ( the corporation by Mr. Alderman Copeland, glittered owand. with its usual brilliancy from the western :wind (we believe) sur mounted by allege: ical figures representingF the m Gothic screen at that end of the building was satnird eror of the French.

These portraits wore sur mounted by military trophies, composed of swords, mus kets, pistols, and bayonets, and around them were grouped vary tastefully the national colours of the allied Powers— England, France, Turkey, and Sardinia. Among the guests we observed the French Ambassador, the Lord Chancellor, Lady Cranworth, Viscount Palmer ston, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord John Russell, Viscount Hardinge.

Poland, Sir G. Hodgkinson, Mr. Swift, M.P., Sir C. D. Crosley, &c. Lord John Russell, who arrived before any leading members of the Ministry, was received with some applause. The Turkish Minister, the French Minister, and the Sar dinian Minister were loudly cheered as they passed through the hall on their way to the reception room. Lord Pal merston and Lord Panmure were also warmly greeted when their names were announced. The banquet was provided by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, and fully sustained the reputation of their cuisine. The band of the Coldstream Guards, stationed in one of the galleries, performed selections from several popular over tures during dinner, and au efficient vocal corps, under the direction of Mr. Ransford, also contributed to the enjoy ment of the guests. Mr. Harker officiated with his usual efficiency as toastmaster. The cloth having been drawn, The LORD MAYOR gave the customary loyaltoasts, which were duly honoured. His LORDSHIP then said that the corporation of London recently had the honour of receiving in that hall the Empe ror and Empress of the French—(cheers)—and they had then the pleasure of hearing from the chosen Sovereign of the French nation a declaration of the importance which he attached to the alliance between this country and France. (Cheers.) The Emperor and Empress, on their way to and from that hall, were received with the uni versal plaudits of the people of the metropolis, and that feeling had been reciprocated when the Sovereign of this country had paid a visit to France. (Cheers.) The im portance of an intimate alliance between the two coun tries was acknowledged by both, and he had, therefore, great pleasure in proposing "The health of the Emperor and Empress of the French." (The toast was drunk with three times three and loud cheers.) The FRENCH AMBASSADOR said,—Je VOUS remercie, Milord Maire, d'avoir propose dans cette enceinte le toast qui vient d'etre si chalenreusement accueilli. Il y a 35 ens qua l'Empereur Napoleon I. exprimait le regret de n'avoir pu vaincre les prejugees des deux peuples et de n'avoir pu gagner l'amitio de l'Angleterre " Que de grandes choses," s'ecriait-il, " nous aur i ons pu f aire en semtee !" Elebien, Messieurs, ces grandee choses s'accom lissent aujourd'hui pour le bonheur et la securite du monde. Le tombeau de Napoleon a recu la piense visite de votre illustre Reine, et sous nn entre Napoleon, qui a compris les veritables interns de son pays, la France est devenue l'intime allies de l'Angleterre. (Cheers.) Ce n'est pas tont. Notre alliance ne repose pas seulement stir des cir tonstances aecidentelles, mais sur l'etreite union des in terns des deux peuples—(cheers)—intetets aujourd'hui t ;Dement confondus quo rien d'heureux ou de malheureux ne pout arriver chez run sans se reproduire chez Ventre. Quand deux pays en sent 'arrives la, leur alliance est a l'abri tie touter especes d'intrigues. (Cheers.) Aucune puissance humaine ne pent plus les s.iparer. ' (Cheers.) Et quand on pense qua I'uniou de nos deux pays, l'un plus specialetnent maritime, l'autre plus specialement constitne la plus grand puissance qui sit jamais existe, none ponvons attendre dans la plus complete seeurito l'is=me de cette guerre. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then rose, and said it was with great pride that he now proposed the toast of " The Army and, Navy of England, together with the Armies and Navies of our Allies." (Applause.) The English army hul, during the present war, more than sustained its ancient rep utatioa for heroic valour. (Hear, bear.) Its patience under severe hardships, its unflinching loyalty, and its determined bra very deserved from the people of this country the warmest gratitude. (Cheers.) The British army had been nobly and fraternally sustained by the troops of our ally the Emperor of the French. (Applause.) The terms which he had used with respect to the English army applied with equal force to our allies the French, and the conduct of the French troops during the present war claimed not only our grati tude but our admiration. (Cheers.) Nor ought he, when speaking of the deeds of the armies of England and France, to omit to call special attention to the conduct of our allies the Sardinians, who had entered into the contest with the utmost chivalry, and had shown the strongest desire to be foremost in the fight. (Cheers.) Our Turkish allies, also, who might be considered, as it were, the principals in the war, had proved that they could valiantly defend their country against the assaults of an aggressor. (Hear, hear.) He had great pleasure in giving the health of Field-Mar shal Lord Hardinge in connexion with the army ; and the First Lord of the Admiralty would, he was sure, acknow ledge the toast on behalf of the navies of England and of our aides. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. Lord HA.RDINGE begged to return thanks for the honour ju-t conferred on the army. Ile thought that on no for mer occasion had British officers and soldiers surpassed the reputation which they had acquired during the present war. (Cheers.) In the course of the war important ope rations had been undertaken. The stronghold of the enemy had been captured, his fleet had been burnt or sunk, and in fact the strength of the Russian army and navy had been seriously crippled. (Hear) He was anxious to bear his testimony to the ardent friendship and cor diality which had existed between the French and English armies, for he believed that it was to their cordial co-ope ration that were mainly to be attributed those successful results at which they all rejoiced. ( Applause.) The Lord Mayor had very properly proposed the health of the French army. He (Lord liardinee) would not immune to return thanks on behalf of th e erench army, but he might be al lowed to give expression to those sentiments of warm esteem which were entertained for the French soldiers by the officers and soldiers of this country serving in the Crimea. (Cheers.) Ho had great pleasure in paying this tribute to the French army in the presence of the French Ambassador. The noble lord, who was indistinctly heard, concluded by expressing his approbation of the valour dis played by the Sardinian troops at the Battle of the Teller nays and by the Turkish army at Silietria, and more re cently at Kars. (Applause.) Sir C. WooD returned thanks on behalf of the navy, ob serving that he was confident he was sufficiently acquainted with the feelings of those engaged in that service to be able to assure the company that they would receive this distinguished mark of favour with the highest gratitude. Perhaps he could hardly with propriety return thanks on behalf of the French navy for the honour conferred on them, but as they had been recently associated with the British navy in all their operations, he thought that the I officers and men of the navy of Franco could scarcely be dissociated from the British navy when such a toast as the present was proposed. Some time ago he expressed his belief that whenever the navy was called upon it would verdia say ti discharge d sch e arge its duty w ith t h e same efficiency as that which n hngtuiatel offira and men it,a e n e dhewas su of th sere he might had now confidently Performed the duties which they had been called on to discharge in the A m y o o s i t satisfact or y manner.

(Cheers.) When war unfortunately happens—as in the course of human events we must expect that it sometimes will—s )mmeree furnishes those means by which war can be successfully carried on in such a manner as to insure a safe, honourable, and lasting peace. (Cheers.) It must, my Lord Mayor and gentlemen, be deemed at all times by high-minded men one of the noblest positions to which an individual can aspire to be charged with the conduct of the affairs of a great nation like this. (Cheers.) But if ever there was a moment when those who are charged with such a duty may feel peculiarly Proud of the honour con ferred upon them, and also peculiarly sensitive as to the deep responsibility which that honourable charge imposes, the present moment is beyond question the greatest that ever, perhaps, was in the memory of man—(cheers)--for never did a nation present a nobler spectacle to the world than does the British nation at this time. (Cheers.) We have entered into a great contest, rot rashly, not hastily, not with levity, but upon full and mature deliberation. (Loud cheers.) We have entered into that contest because we felt that the war was necessary as well as j ast—(cheers) —and this nation evinces, from one end of the country to the other, a steady, a calm, but a deliberate determination to submit to every sacrifice which the conduct of the war may entail—(cheers)—to show itself equal to every exer tion which the prosecution of that war may require, to ex hibit the utmost constancy in carrying on the struggle, and to continue its sacrifices and exertions until peace shall be obtained on conditions such as we may be entitled to demand. (Cheers.) We have present upon this occasion the representatives of those three allies with whom we are bound in the enterprise which we have undertaken. We have at this board the Ambassador of the Emperor of the French—that great ally who, I must do him the justice and honour to say, has, by the magnanimity of his mind, by his far-seeing perception, and by the honesty and single-mindedness of his policy— (cheers)—cemented a union between two nations which have too long been divided by jealousies and mistrust, but which, I hope, will from this period, in the words of may noble friend the French Am bassador, for ever continue to be intimate and confiding friends. (Loud cheering.) Wo have also at this board th..) representative of the Sultan, in whose cause we have thrown ourselves into this war, and whose subjects have nobly shown that they were worthy of the assistance which we have afforded them. (Cheers.) We have, too, the re presentative of the King of Sardinia—(loud cheers)—a Sovereign whose character and the cond net of whose people excite the warmest sympathies throughout this country, and whose good faith inspires our most implicit confidence. (Cheers.) I trust that these representatives of our allies, let them go where they willthrough the length and breadth of the land, will see nothing and will hear nothing but what will enable them to report to their respective Sove reigns that, while we place the utmost confidence and re liance upon the constancy with which they will support us in the war in which we are engaged, they may rely with equally implicit confidence upon the determination of the people of this great country ; and no man can doubt that when these four Powers are earnest in a cause—when they have drawn the sword with a full determination not to sheathe it until they have accomplished their purpose— (loud cheers)—no human efforts opposed to their will can be successful in marring their exertions. (Renewed cheers.) I beg permission, ladies and gentlemen, to propose a toast which I am sure you will drink with the greatest satisfac tion—" The Health of our host, the Lord Mayor." The toast having been drunk with the usual honours, The LORD MAYOR briefly returned thanks, observing, that he was deeply sensible of the responsibilities of the office which had been conferred upon him by his fellow citizens, and that he hoped, with their support and by the blessing of God, to justify the good opinion which had led them to place him in so important a position. His lord ship then gave "The House of Lords," observing that many members of the peerage traced th e i r descent from Lord Mayors of the city of London. The to,.st was acknowledged by the Marquis of SALIS BURY. The LORD MAYOR next proposed "The Health of the Lord Chief Justice of England and the Judges of the Land," and Lord CAMPBELL returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR then gave the " House of Commons," observinc , that among his guests was an eminent member of that house, who had long been its leader, and whose family had borne a distinguished part in English history, and ho would therefore asscciato with the toast the name of Lord J. Russell. Lord J. RUSSELL then rose, but was received with min gled cheers and hisses so loud as to render the few sentences uttered by the noble lord inaudible io those who were not in his immediate vicinity. The noble lord was understood to express his gratification at seeing Mr. Ald. Sr.lomons in the position of Lord Mayor, because he regarded his at tainment of that office as a triumph of the cause of civil and religious liberty, of which he (Lord J. Russell) had always beou an ardent supporter. Sir G. GREY proposed " The Ladies," and the toast was acknowledged by the Lord Mayor, who gave " The Health of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex." Mr. Alderman KENNEDY returned thanks. Several other toasts were subsequently given, that of " The Bar of England" being acknowledged by Mr. Ser geant CHANNELL, and that of the " Court of Aldermen" by Mr. Alderman COPELAND.

GENERAL KMET Y. ( From the Augsburg Gazette.) PESTH, Oct. 31.—The last news from the seat of war in Asia has excited intense interest here on account of the share of our felow-countryman, General Kmety, in the glorious victory which the Osmanli obtained over the Rus sians at Kara. General Kmety not merely commanded in person at the most dangerous positions, and inspired his troops by his own example with the most devoted courage of the hero, but with his handful of cavalry pur sued the fugitive Russians, scattering death and terror among them. Who would, 25 years ago, have thou4ht thus of the harmless, blithe, and well-behaved youth then studying at the Presburg Protestant Evangelical Ly ceum for the Christian ministry I Kmety was born at Pokoragy a village charmingly situated on an emi nence about two miles or rather less from Rime- Szombath, in the Gomorer county, where his father, a Protestant clergyman, lived and officiated. Unfortu nately the latter died while Krnety was still a child be tween five and six years of age. His mother left the parsonage and removed him to Nyiregyhaz, in the E•'zi bolseer county, where his grand-uncle, John Schulak, was a minister, and in whose house both mother and son found a modest but happy home. While the boy George Krnety went to the elementary grammar school of that place he evinced great abilities ; here, too, he delighted his mother, uncle, and teacher by the industry with which he strove to improve his talents, and hence it was resolved to gratify the wish of the promising youth by devoting him to a learned career. He came to Eperies, where he studied zealously and successfully for some years at the Protestant college of the district, and pro ceeded thence to Presburg for continuing his studies at tt e Protestant Lyceum, which is acknowledged •to be the best Protestant establishment of the kind in all Hungary. Here he prepared himself for a German uni versity, and here he was to qualify himself fer taking orders. George Kmety, as one of the hardest, but at the same time least wealthy students, contended for a scholarship. The committee at Peeth, who had to exa mine and decide, awarded him a stipend equal to 40 florins of conventional money, a large sum in those days for a child of the muses, and a friend sent off the glad tidings to Kmety, that hie petition had been complied with. A singular circumstance, however, occasioned this sum of 40 florins, intended for our George Krnety, to be bestowed on another student of the same name, through some error on the part of the notary or the committee itself. This disappointment of hopes caused the young man so much chagrin, that he went to Vienna and turned soldier. His rapid advancement proved that here also be did his duty, for by 1848 he had become a com missioned officer. The events of this and the following year are well known. In the August of 1849, General Kmety passed over into Turkey, with some other com panions in misfortune ; here he became a Mussulman ; and we see that Ismail Pacha, like the generalissimo Omer Pacha, does honour to the school in which he learned the art of war. "The hero of the day" at Kars is now in the prime of manhood, being in or near his 45th year. Tau TYNE SHIPWRIGIITS.—It is utterly incorrect, as stated ty some of the London morning papers, that the Tyne shipwrights have held meeting 4 at Shields with the view of demanding an advance of wages t.) 84. a-day. No ~ uch meetings have been held, and no such demand has been contemplated. A considerable order has been re ceived by a large firm on the Tyne to have a number of powerful gun-boats ready for the Government by the spring of the year, and of course trade is brisk, but the Tyne shipwright?, are among the most unlikely body of men to consider their country's emergency their opportunity. They are thorough Englishmen at heart. [ADVERTEE 4ENT.]-110110 Way's Pills famous for Liver C nnplaints.
