One day, while in my garden-chair I sat, Two plumy people joined in friendly chat. The facts were these, as far as I could see, A goldfinch perched upon my cherry-tree; Soon after which, a lowly sparrow came, Presuming he'd a right to do the same, And having neared hie neighbour, inch by inch, "Chip," said the sparrow, " Twittle," said the finch. A pause ensued, as oft it does with us, But soon the sparrow broke the silence thus ; " I often wonder, sir, indeed I do, v. by I'm viewed as so much less than you ; In vain do I endeavour to eng tge, I've never been considered worth a cage ; But as for you, wherever you may fly, Mankind regards you with a curious eye. I'ray what's the reason you are valued so, Is it y.:iir song, or what, I wish to know " Nay," said the well-dressed goldfinch, 'Tis not my song, but my superior plume ; 'Tie trite, my frland, I've learned to sing a little, But scarcely any more than twittle, twittle.' You may depend, Sir, 'tis the way I'm decked— ...... Respectable appearance gains respect ; Look at my golden wings, my scarlet cap, You see I'm quite a gentlemanly chap; If you could wear my coat you'd shortly know To what extent appearances will go." Mere ceased the entertaining conversation, While I myself supplied THE APPLIC AT I 3N. Since personal appearance goes so far, I'll more than ever prove what Moses are. Moses and Son's famed Mart is just the place To furnish fashions of superior grace ; The fit of Moses, true to half-an-inch, Will prove the language of the golden-finch. 4 Whoever may in at uses' dress be decked, Will meet with honour and with due respect ; And this assertion nobody will mock, • On viewing Messrs. Moses' summer stock; And thus concludes my unassuming fable, 'J Which I've improved as well as I was able. LIST OF PRICES. EXAM MADE.

The events which have taken place of late, and the revolutions which have been effected throughout the Continent, are the natural fruits of that miscalled Holy Alliance, which, formed by the great and unexpected successes of the coalesced powers, has rince 1815 weighed like a nightmare upon Europe. We may safely assert that the empire of darkness and of despotism has been smitten with a stroke which will never be forgotten. When we see whole kingdoms, after reposing. for centu ries on the lap of their rulers, start from their slumber, the dignity of man rising up from depression, and kings either thrust from, or tottering on, thrones which they can scarcely call their own, who can remain indifferent, or fail to turn his attention towards those nations and their rulers which have undergone such extraordinary changes since the memorable year 1848? Old founda tions have been broken up, new edifices are rearing.' and constitutions are being octroyed in a day.• Institutions which have been long held in veneration as the most eublime refinements of human wisdom and policy, which time has cemented and confirmed, which power has supported, which eloquence has con spired to embellish and opulence to enrich, are falling with astounding rapidity to deca y . They are things that were. Their sun has set an d no more to be remembered—new prospects are opening o n every side of such amazing variety and extent as t o stretch farther than the most enlightened statesman or the most cautious observer can reach. These thoughts have been impressed on our minds, while studying wit h the attention the subject merits, the peCuliar position of ono of the most despotic of the great monarchies of Eu rope. We refer to Austria and the war now raging in almost every part of her distracted empire. Hitherto we have been so accustomed to regard Austria as one single empire, like England or Holland, that we are apt to forget she is composed of several distinct nations, em bracing a population of more than thirty-six millions of people, and a territory stretching from the boundary of Russia and the confines of the Papal States. Within this immense extent there are included the inhabitants of five distinct races, as alien to each other as the Spaniard is to the Frenchman. There are the Germans —the Italians—the Hungarians—the Sclavonians, and the Wallachia's, without community of origin, of lan guage, of sentiments or of religion. The only bond which has hitherto held them together is their allegiance to one common Sovereign, who has sine the year 1804 borne the title of Emperor of Austria, a name rather curiously selected, by the way, as being that of one of the smallest of the numerous states over which be ruled. 0: these -states Hungary is the chief one in point of extent of territory, of popula tion, of the warlike energy of its' inhabitants, and, above all, as the only one possessing anything approaching to the name of a constitution such as it is the pride and boast of England to possess, and the attempted destruc tion of which by the ill-advised Emperor is the cause of the present war. The great importance of the struggle commenced be tween Hungary and Austria, and to which it may be truly said that the eyes of. all Europe are anxiously directed, must be our apology for directing the attention of our readers at some length to the relations between those two countries, though it will be our endeavour to notice as briefly as possible the causes which have ulti mately compelled Hungary to draw the sword iu defence of those rights, which every lover of constitutional free dom will desire that she and all other states in Europe may be permitted to possess. We feel more than usually anxious •to make the true state of the case known to our readers, as it is an un doubted and lameutable fact, that in consequence of the continued misrepresentations of the reactionary journals, both at home and abroad, the origin and pro gress of the present war, and the objects for which the Hungarians are contending, have been very generally tnisuuderstood:not only iu England, but also in a great part of Europe. It is one of the common errors of the day to sup pose that Hungary is a mere province of the Austrian Empire, and in rebellion against its Sovereign. Hun gary Is not and never was a province of Austria, but has always been for - the last nine centuries both de jure and de facto an independent kingdom. It is true that for the last three centuries the , head of the house of ilapsburg, by the marriage of Ferdinand, Emperor of Germany, the brother of Charles V., with his cousin, Anne, sister of Ludovie, King of Hungary and Bohe mia, has been the acknowledged Sovereign of those two countries, but it is as King of llungary, not as Emperor of Austria, that he has either right or jurisdiction in that country. .The Hungarians, therefore, assert with truth that they have taken up arms to repel a treacheros aggression, on the part of the advisers of the Austrian Crown, and to defend their Constitution as by law established, just as our forefathers of glorious memory, in a righteous cause and for a lawful object, appealed to arms against the Stuart " Kings, Charles L - and James 11. With reference to the early history of Hungary, we can learn but little. The oldest known inhabitants of the country were the Pannoniaw. In the year 277 the Huns established themselves in, and ghve their namelto, the country. Their power was greatly increased under the celebrated Attila, but was overthrown in 489 by the Goths and Gepidre. These yielded in the sixth century to the Lepidre, who in their turn were overthrown by the Avari. In the ninth century the Magyars, the present dominant race, originally a people from Central Asia, pe netrated into the country, and in the course of ten years entirely subdued it. Stephen, the great grandson of Arpad, the conqueror of Hungary, exchanged his title of Duke for that of King, A.D. 1000, and added Tran sylvania to his kingdom. The Magyars having been gradually converted to Christianity, becameahe most im portant bulwark of Europe against the then powerful and encroaching Mussuiman po wer; an d i n t h e y ear 1526 Ludovic, King of Hungary, fell at the head of his countrymen, while contending manfully against the Turkish host at the disastrous battle of Mohacs. Down to th e year 1687 the t hrone had been elective, though when any occupant left a male descendant the latt er h a d b een i nvar i a bly c ho s en, but at that period the Hungarian Parliament or Diet decreed that hauceforth th e t h rone s h ou ld b e h ere dit a ry in the male . heirs of the reigning; house of Hapsburg, and in 1723 It further extended "'the right of succession to the female line, in accordance with the Pragmatic Sanction of Charles V., in order that the union of the two Crowns of Austria and Hungary might be continued on the same head.. A very s i m i lar case to thi s occurred in the union of it,heresonCsronwfnosur own Sovereigns,itai w and e of9roatßr itH a l n ef o t ve h r oti i i n k t i h n e gdoms de jure and d e facto independent of each other, and which, after being united from the time of George I. to that of William IV., were separated when her present Majesty succeeded to the throne, be• cause the former was settled upon heirs male or female, the latter on heirs male alone. During the war which Frederick King of Prussia waged against Maria Therese, Empress-Queen o f A ustr ia and Hungary, she in her distress threw herself upon the support of her bravo Hungarian subjects, and the bloody war that followed, in which they upheld their ancient re nown, proved that the celebrated expression with which they saluted their Sovereign's demand for aid, " Mori amur pro Rage Nostro Maria Theresa," had not been uttered in vain. And it is well worthy of remark, that this same celebrated Sovereign, at her coronation in 1740, after readily taking the old oath to the Constitu tion, established in 1222, added, " If I or any of my sue cessors at any time should'attempt to infringe your pri vileges, you and your posterity are permitted,. by virtue of this promise, to defend yourselves, without being liable to be treated as rebels." This may in a measure explain the cause of the present war, as it more than justifies the part which the Hungarians are now taking against the Austrian empire. Nobly also did Hungary support Austria in her frequent contests with Repub lican and Imperial France, and cheerfully did she shed the blood or the best and bravest of her sons in defence of her Sovereign against the most formidable foo that Eurcpe had ever witnessed; and so strongly attached were the Hungarians to Austria , that all Nap oleon's endeavours to detach the former from the latter during the disastrous campaign of 1809 were unavailing, and their devotion to their Sovereign's per son was never more conspicuous than when he had lost the power to reward it. It is a melancholy thought to reflect on the ingratitude of kings , but never was it more fully exemplified than in the conduct of the Emperor of A us tria towards Hungary; for, though duri n g t he terrible struggle from 1792 to 1814, the Parliament was fre quently summoned, and the most complimentary mes sages were sent to it by the Emperor, his conduct even then wrung from one of the members this bitter speech, which faithfully reflected the sentiments of the nation: — It is plain that the King calls us together only when he wants soldiers and supplies; for he knows that after all we have too much honour to allow the majesty of , the King of Hungary to be insulted by his enemies; ' an. though her hopes had b een frequently disappointed, she had never failed t o offer her whole power and re sources for the defence of the empire, nor had she ever sought in the defeat an d m isfortunes of Austria an op portunity to extort from her Sovereign the justice he had denied to her prayers. Yet when the hour for repayment arrived those promises, on the faith of which Hungary had so freely lavished her blood and her treasures in defence of Austria and the aiEmperor,iance was we formed,sham e f a u t l i d ly : t n h c e g I A .: c u t s e t d r . i a nln Cabinet,lBls t h c e w nl y h for so many years h a d flattered the hopes of Hungary , when it stood in nee d o f her assistance, now, that the hour of danger had passed, baldly resolved to govern that kingdom without the aid of its P ar li amen t. In vain did the country unanimously petition the Emperor to summon the Diet, which he was bound by the laws he had sworn to observe to call every three y ears . A t length, after ten years of undignified resistance on the part of the Sovereign, he gave way, and in 1825 the Diet was again summoned. An extract from the ad dress which the Diet presented to the Emperor, some thing like the celebrated remonstrance of our Lo ng Par liament, will give us some idea of their grievances:— " We entreat your Majesty henceforth not to listen to evil counsels; to despise anonymous denunciations; not to exact any impost or any levy . of soldiers without the concurrence of the Diet; to reinstate the citixms dis. graced for having legally resisted the Royal Commis sioners; and regularly to cony e the states with whom you share the sovereign power." To these just and mode rate demands the Emperor wisely consented, and things for a time went on more peaceably than heretofore, though great reforms were necessary, as much so as in France previous to the revolution of 1798; for the con dition the chief part of the population was such, that it was indispensable to her, with tranquility and pres nerity, that Hungary should advance with the times. The nobles, like tee old noblesse of France, held On it lands by military tenure, and bore no portion of the bur dens during peace. It was left to the peasant, to whom promises of redress and amelioration of condition had been held out as early as 1790, but which had never been fulfilled, to bear the whole weight of taxation ; and though, in the year 1635, salutary measures were passed greatly improving the position of the oppressed c:asses, yet, down to 1848, the elective franchise was withheld from every man who was born a peasant, whatever might be his stake in the country. Ho was not equal with the noble in the eyes of the law. "He paid the whole charges," to use the language of an eloquent writer, " for the administration ,of justice, which he could rarely obtain ; for the municipal government, in the election of which he had no vote; for the maintenance of public buildings, from many of which he was excluded; and by much the greater part of the expenses of the army, in which he was forced to serve without a hope of promotion. He alone made and repaired the roads and bridges, and be alone paid tolls on passing them. On him alone were soldiers quartered, and he had to furnish them, not only with lodgings in the midst of his family, but with fuel, cooking, stable room and fodder at about one halfpenny a day, ofter4anot paid; and to sell his hay to the Government fur thuse of the troops at a fixed price, not equil to one-fotirth of its value in the market. At the same time a noble who tilled the ground like the peasant—who was perhaps not more intelligent, not more industr:ous—had an hereditary privilege of exemption from all these burdens, and enjoyed a share in the go vernment of the country." The Diet, which met at the close of the year 1847, had scarcely entered upon business when the storm of revo lution burst upon the head of astonished Europe. The Paris Revolution of 1848 was the precursor of insurrection at Milan, Venice, Naples, Palermo, Vh nna, Berlin, Prague, Cracow, &e., in the midst of which constitutional Hungary remained a calm in the amidst of the troubled seas. The national, or, as we should say in England, the reform, party succeeded in effecting a greater change in the constitution than was effected by our memorable Bill of 1832, and in a most peaceable manner, and by the unanimous votes of both houses of the Diet ; by which it was decreed-Ist. Equality of civil rights and public burdens amongst all classes and races in Hungary and its provinces. 2d. Perfect tole ration of every form of religious worship. 31. The transference to the peasants of nearly half the cultivated lands of the kingdom, hitherto hell by urbarial tenure, by which means more than 500,000 peasant families re ceived from thirty to sixty acres of land each. 4th. The elective franchise was extended to every person whose annual iiscome amounted to 101., or possessed of capital ansouliting to 301. ; to every man who had received a university diploma, and to every attizan employing an apprentice. An Act for the union of Hungary and Tran sylvania was passed by the Diets of both countries. The whole of these Acts received the Royal assent, and in April of last year the Emperor personally confirmed them in the midst of the Diet assembled at Presburg. A responsible Hungarian Ministry was formed, with the full concurrence of the Emperor, and the Palatine, an office held by the Archduke Stephen, and very similar to that of our Lard-Lieutenant of Ireland. These con cessions to the spirit of modern times, were received with the utmost delight and satisfaction by the whole of Hungary cod the provinces. But, alas! no sooner were they granted than a reactionary movement commenced, and just as it was in our country in the time of Charles 1., that which was extracted from an unwilling Sove reign was endeavoured to be set aside by the most shameful chicanery and the basest turpitude. A party soon appeared at the Austrian Court opposed to all concessions, seeing in the constitutional freedom of Hun gary the greatest hindrance to the old form of tyrannical government, and they, alas! soon succeeded in finding in Croatia, one of the dependencies of Hungary', a party who had been endeavouring to effect a Sclavonic move ment in favour of Illyrian nationality, and opposed therefore to Magyar ascendancy. A leader, prepared to go all lengths for the subversion of the new-born freedom of Hungary, was found in Baron Joseph Jel lachich, Colonel of one of the Croat Regiments, who was named Ban or Lord of the whole province of Croatia without consulting the Hungarian Alinistry, whose counter-signature was necessary to legalise the nomination. Though this was a breach of faith, highly discreditable to the Austrian Cabinet, the Hungarian Ministry accepted his nomination, and invited Jellachich to put himself immediately into communication with them. His first ant was to declare that the Croat revolt was sanctioned by the Emperor. This was denied by him in an autograph letter, dated May, 1848, and sum moning the Ban to Innspruck to give an account of his conduct. The following month he was suspended from all his functions, both civil and military ; but he held his position, declaring that the real wishes and in structions of his Sovereign were opposed to his public acts ; and if this be true, which succeeding events appear to bear out, it only proves the base hypocrisy of the Austrian Cabinet. The revolt of the Croatians under Jellachich continued in the name of the Emperor, when the newly-reformed Parliament was about to meet. The Hungarian Ministry, therefore, naturally entreated the Emperor to open it in person, in order by his presence to prove the falsehood of the Ban's assertions. This was declined. The new Parliament met for the first time at Pesth, in June, 1848, returned by the new suffrage, when, greatly to the credit of the people, it was discovered that nearly all the old Members of the Diet, formerly elected by the, nobles, who had succeeded in carrying these beneficial reforms, had been again returned, so quietly had the people exercised their newly-acquired privileges. The Archduke Palatine, in his opening speech to the Diet, alluded to the revolt in Croatia, and to the false reports that it was encouraged by the Emperor, assuring them that his Majesty was resolved to protect the unity and the inviolability of the royal Crown of Hungary against all attacks—spoke of the audacity of those who dared to pretend that illegal acts were in accordance with the wishes of the Sovereign—and finally gave the sanction of the Emperor to the incorporation of Transyl vania with Hungary, as the union of the two countries would give a firm support to the throne and to constitutional freedom. The Diet, upon these grati• fying assurances, immediately sent a deputation to the Emperor, to entreat him to repair to the capital, in order that his presence there might disabuse the minds of the revolted Croats. This was again refused. The revolt continued to gain ground, when at length the long-con tinued and disgraceful deception of the Austrian Cabi net was made manifest by a message which the Hun garian Ministry received from them, stating that it was resolved to put an end to the neutrality hitherto observed, and to support openly the rebellion of the Croats. The Hungarians were now convinced that their constitution must be derended by force of arms against the Jesuitical Austrian Cabinet. A body of 200,000 men was decreed, and an issue of bank notes to cover all deficiencies. Another deputation was sent to the Emperor, to ask his assent to the law already passed— to the recal of the Hungarian troops serving in Italy, and to entreat him to come to Pesth to restore order. An evasive answer was all that the deputation obtained. Shortly after their return to Pesth, a communication was sent from the Austrian Cabinet to the Hungarian Ministry, requesting the presence of some of their mem bers to concert measures for insuring the consolidation of the Government, and to open negotiations with the Croats fur the reconciliation of their differences, de claring at the same time that the Ban Jellachich, who only three months previously had been denounced by the Austrian Government as a traitor, should take a part in the conference, and that all preparations for war should cease on both sides. At the same time it was declared by the Austrian Cabinet that the concessions, by which j Hungary was to enjoy the benefit of a responsible Mi nistry and a reformed Parliament, were detrimental to the interests of Austria, and were therefore declared to be illegal and of no effect; that although they had re ceived the Emperor's assent in the month of April, and had been again formally recognised at the opening of the Diet in June, the reactionary Ministry annaunced that they were no longer to be considered binding, in order that a central power for the government of the Austrian empire—consisting, as we have already seen, of five distinct races—might be established at Vienna. Never in the whole history of nations have we ever met with a more discreditable breach of public faith—dis graceful alike to the Emperor and his Cabinet, who, hurried away by their anxiety to accomplish their ob ject, at the risk of honour and truth, were too blind to perceive the indelible stain they were affixing to the cha racter of the empire, and the indignation they were bringing down on their heads from an exasperated and deluded nation of new-born freemen. The degraded Austrian Cabinet did not pause in their headlong course of folly. The decree suspending the Ban Jellachich from all his dignities was recalled, and ho was ordered to invade Hungary with an army of Croats and Austrians. His course was at first, in con sequence of the Hungarians beine , totally unprepared, unopposed, and he marched a considerable way into the interior of the kingdom without firing a shot, and, like a reckless traitor to his country, allowed his troops to plunder the people and devastate the country w_heerever they went. The Archduke the Palatine took th oppose com mand of the Hungarian forces and, after an ineffectual attempt at o he set off rcconcilia Lion. from some inexplicable at for Vienna, and forwarded his resicganuastionshoefrtthlye aPtatelar: tineship to the Hungarian Parliament w t t e h a t h h e e s t x c a e n p , - 1 wards the Hungarian Ministry cres„ig n e e r tion of Mazaros, Kossuth, and az,.m Minister of A . . Var, Finance and the In most patriotic of their number, who respectively retained their offices as on ' al Government,: until terior, in the shape aavapsroaysissilimed by Count . Louis the helm of the State f oldest of the Hungarian nobility, with the consent and sanction of the Hungarian Parlia ment, and a committee for the defence of the country was immediately formed to assist him. This Ministry the Austrian Cabinet at first neither acknowledged nor rejected, but towards the end of September General Lemberg, an Austrian general, was appointed by the Em peror to the command of all the troops, beep Austria - ' Hungarian, in the kingdom, d ordered posi tively to close the Diet. An Act of Parliament was imroediately'passed declaring General Lamberg a traitor, and refusiag.to seknowlodge him. oacaoral Lemberg arrived at the capital at a most unfortunate moment, when the agitation was at its height, and the peasants were pouring into the town by thousands to defend it against Jellachich, who was on the point of attacking. General Lemberg, in his carriage, had reached as far as the beautiful suspension -bridge which connects the two towns Buds and Pesth, when he was surrounded by an immense crowd, brandishing se y then and muskets, and pouring down imprecations on h s head. In vain did he appeal to theta, holding the Emperor's lever of appointment above his head; his cries were disregarded, and in an unfortunate m: silent he was cut down—a deed much to be deplored, but the fault, be it remembered, more of the Austrian Cabinet for forcing a declared outlaw upon the Hunga rians, than of the excited people, driven to a pitch of madness by the base hypocritical conduct of the Em peror and the reactionary ia-ty. The Hunearian Diet acted nobly at this dreadful emergency. Though the only regiment in the capital on which they could depend bore the very name of the murdered General, they were able to restrain any acts of violence on the part of the soldiers, and ordered criminal proceedings aga:.ns.t, the authors of the outrage. The Premier, Count Bathyani, finding his Ministry, as we have before stated, unacknow• ledged, resigned, and his pest was taken by that remark able man Koseuth, a genuine nobleman and leader of the constitutional and patriotic party, which lead he has ever since retained, holding at this moment the offiee of Governor of the Kingdom by the unanimous suffrages of the Hungarian Diet. The next insult of the feeble and vacillating Austrian Cabinet was to endeavour to thrust the rebel and traiior Jellachich upon the Hungarians as Commander-in-Chief, with orders to dissolve the Diet, and to declare the whole country in a state of siege. Thus was Jellachich publicly proclaimed by the deceit ful Cabinet Dictator of Hungary, though he had been by the same party but a few months previously ktlS rnded from his offices on account of his heading the Croat revolt against the Hungarians. Thus the hypo crisy of the Emperor and his advisers has been clearly manifested, and the Hungarians had nothing lett but to appeal to the sword. Had the Austrian Govern ment, or rather the secret back stairs influence—the Camarilla—the real government—the imperium in imperio —been honest, end determined to carry out the new Constitution according to the Emperor's word and promises, the differences between Austria and Hungary might easily have been adjusted, and the present war would not have arisen, which will probably ere long set all Europe in flames. The die, however, was cart, the gauntlet was thrown down by Austria, and Hungary manfully accepted the challenge. The people rose en masse—never was Hungary more united—divisions of race and religion were no more remembered—the aristo cracy and the people, the Protestants and Roman Ca tholics, rose as one man to repel the unjust aggressions of the faithless Austrian Cabinet. Jsliachich was very quickly repulsed from Pesth, and ho fled with his broken troops to assist Prince Windischgratz in besieging Vienna. With the account of that siege we have at present nothing to do. Suffice it to say, after the en trance of Windischgratz and Jellachich into that capi tal they had leisure to turn their united forces against Hungary. Very shortly after this the Emperor Ferdinand, as must be well known to our readers, abdicated his throne, and resigned his crown in favour of his nephew, the present Emperor Francis Joseph, a boy of nineteen years of age, and second in order of succession. A splendid opportunity now offered itself for recovering Hungary, but it was allowed to slip by, and time can never be recalled. Had Count Stadion, the Prime Minister of Austria, advised the new Emperor to stand to and defend the new Constitution of Hungary, as his uncle, the late Emperor, had promised, ilungary might still have remained a part of his empire; hut instead of this, Count Stedion fancied he could ac complish something far more wonderful by oc!roying a constitution for the whole empire, by which, in spite of the Earnest longing after rationalities, five distinct races have to receive laws from a new Assembly at Vienna. A mad attempt; and failure, as might be expected, was the result. If we may be permitted to make a com parison, we should say it would have been just as flagrant a case of dishonesty, if our late King William IV., :after passing the Reform Bill, when the crowns of Eng land and Hanover were united on one head, had made a constitution of his own will, suspending the old one in the country which had been the pride of the people for centuries, and ordering a new Par liament to meet in Hanover to give laws for that country and the whole of the United Kingdom together. V.'indischgratz and Jellachich, after the siege of Vienna, marched for Pesth, into which they succeeded in ob .wining an entrance without much difficulty, as it was ,bought advisable, until the Hungarian forces were bettor prepared, to retreat before the Austrians Kossuth, with the Hungarian Parliament, retired be yond the river Feiss to Debretzhi, a town about 120 English miles east of Beath, where ho succeeded, during last winter, in performing such wonders in calling an army into existence, which has already excited the admi ration of Europe,in restoring the finances and conducting the administration of the v. hole kingdom under the se vere pressure of external and internal war. A great portion of the country fell into the hands of Win dischgratz and Jellachich, the Hungarians retiring be fore them as they advanced, who put the whole of what they possessed under martial law. This was during last winter, but, although it was continually reported that Hungary was at the feet of W indischgratz, that Kossuth was a fugitive trying to escape in disguise from the country, that the Parliament had fallen to pieces, it appeared that the Austrians did not find the conquest of Hungary quite so easy a matter. It was pretended that the seve rity of the winter prevented the Commander• in-Chief from doing more. This excuse only lasted for a time, and as the spring advanced the tide began to turn with a vengeance against the Austrians. A magnificent army had been gradually forming during the winter by the untiring exertions of Kossuth and his Ministers, under the guidance cf skilful leaders, which, by a succession of brilliant and rapid feats, regained the whole of the coun try, allowing the Austrians to retain possession of only one single town—the old capital of Presburg—a city containing between 30,000 and 40,000 inhabitants. The last great victory on the part of the Hurgarians was the taking of Buda, a large city lying opposite to Pesth, the present capital. It was a most brilliant fest of arms , and we do not recollect anything which approaches nearer to the celebrated saying of Caesar, " Veni vidi, vici," than the dispatch of the General, announcing the fall of Buda. Three words were sufficient, " Hurrah ! Buda- Georgey !" It was worthy of Rome in her best days, and the letter of acknowledgment of the good news was in a similar spirit.—" The thanks of Hungary to Field marshal Georgey." Windischgratz was recalled from the command-in chief of the Austrien forces. It was transferred to BaronWelden, but he having been equally unfortunate, gave up the command to Marshal Hayncau, who, if report speaks true, has signalised his accession to office by ordering a rich and beautiful Hungarian lady, Madame Von IRlvarnolty, of Pesth, to t l e brutally flogged for having held communication with her brave couutrymen, who were fighting in defence of their li berties and constitutional rights. It appears by a report of Mazaros, the late Hungarian Minister of War, that a numerous and magnificent army has been raised, whose victo ries we have not time nor space to record, con sisting of 396,000 infantry, 64,000 cavalry, 40,000 artillery, and 50,000 fresh levies, making altoge ther a total of 550,000 men of all arms. It is divided into cloven corps d'arrcee, the most illustrious of the captains of which are Bem and Dembinski, Poles by birth, and Georgey, whom we have before mentioned, and we are glad to observe among the number General Guyon, an Irishman. It is a common mistake, however, to think there are many Poles fighting iu their ranks. We do not believe in the magnificent host before enu merated there are above 5,000. And if the Hungarian army be not overstated, though the Emperor of Russia with his hordes of Cossacks has come to the aid of the deceitful, degraded, and defeated Austrian Cabinet, we do not despair. We hope both England and France will boldly forbid their iniquitous interference on the part of the Russian tyrant to prevent that which he must so abhor, viz., the spread of constitutional freedom; and wt firmly believe and trust, while expressing our sincere admiration and sympathy for the brave H ungar i ans, that so disgraceful the rule of Austria over Hungary, to her self, has departed fur ever.

The minutes of former meetings having been read and confirmed, The CHAIRMAN stated that the payment of the half yearly dividend upon the Company's stock would he made upon the 6th of July. Mr. TWINING, the chairman of the by-laws committee, brought up the usual report, and the committee were the❑ re-elected. Mr. P. GORDON suggested that it would be desirable to revert to the old custom of electing the members of the by-laws committee by ballot. THE PRINCIPALITY OF SATTARA. Mr. SULLIVAN wished to refer to the manner in which the ballot had been taken in reference to this matter on the last occasion. It was usual that nine days should elaps after the notice before the ballot was taken, Lut in this case due notice was not given, and the ballot was taken within four days. The CHAIRMAN :Aid that some of the most important caws ever taken before that Court had been refer red to the ballot upon much shorter notice than the time men tioned by the hon. member. Mr. I.Ewitg gave notice that he should move at the next Quarterly Court, that the Court of Directors do place upon the table of the Court of Proprietors copies of the papers laid before the authorities in this country which led those authorities to confirm the proceedings of the military authorities at Madras in reference to the 6th Regiment of Native Cavalry. Two privates were shot, 13 banished, and 37 dismissed the service, besides six!of ;their officers, without trial or even being con fronted with their accusers. _ _ Sir J. W. HoGo trusted the chairman would exercise • his own discretion with regard to this motion, and in form the lion. Proprietor that he would not put the subject-matter complained in the motion, or use any of the phrases contained in it. The Hon. Proprietor might have his own opinions if he would, but the Courts of Proprietors and Directors would not, he hoped, allow theinselve3 to be made accomplices with him in being made the vehicle of conveying information of such a nature. The CHAIRMAN said that this was no time for discuss ing the subject—what his Hon. Friend had said was quite true, and he would not be the instrument of induc ing that Court to attempt to excite any inflammatory feeling in the Indian army, and he hoped the Court would support him in this view. Mr. LEWIN consented to alter the terms of the notice, which was afterwards given in an altered form. Mr. GORDON gave notice that he should move that there be laid before the Court a return of any press laws, customs, or regulations, which operated against the importation or sale of the Holy Scriptures in India. Also, that he should ask certain questions relative to the state of their prisons in India. the prevalence of disease amongst them, and the fact that some of the prisoners were put to the torture. The Chairman, Major Oliphant, and Mr. Fielding concurred in making the same objection to this notice that had been made to Mr. Lewin's ; it embodied a statement of facts, instead of being a purely formal notice. Mr. GORDON consented to the omission of the objec tionable words, as his friend Mr. Lewin had done so. Mr. GORDON gave notice that he should move for co pies of all the papers relative to the dismissal of Captain Gordon in 1826. Also, that Proprietors be supplied with copies of the bye-laws, and full means of informa tion of till the affairs of the Court of Proprietors—which information, even to questions of account, they were now only able to get from papers laid before both Houses of Parliament. Sir J. W. boo opposed the latter part of the motion on the ground of expense. Mr. GORDON complained that a very old and imper fect copy of the by-laws had been given to him. The CHAIRMAN wou!el me that this was remedied. THE STATE OF LAHORE. Jr. SULLIVAN gave notice that be should move for copies of all letters from the Government of India to Sir David OchterNny, and their answers, relative to the claims of the Lahore State; and, also, copies of all cor respondence which had been received at Lahore from the Government of India, and their answers, which led to the arCcles of agro , ,tnent concluded between the Brit ish Government and the Durbar of Lahore on the 16th of December, 1846. The Court then adjourned. (e,mt k, R;x1 3 4, 4 f 4 1 4k 1.( .- ~tt, ` N , W ,*z,ki,‘ ' k .... ,_ , AI '4 1 0 ' \....,,,,,--4.-:`; --., ..- ' ~, ' At',4,'. l' • . 3,,,v1A.44:4;,. .'7 - ..:' , 4..* .

A C ORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—By the Trafalgar India man, Captain RoLerts-m, which passed this port yester day, and sent in mails and passengers this morning from India and the Cape, we learn that the Southampton, 50, Rear-Admiral Reynolds; the Scringapatam depot ship; the Dec troop steamer; and the Orestes corvette, were at anchor in Simon's-bay, on the 19th of April. The Trafalgar sailed from Calcutta on the 13th of Feb ruary; Madras, March 3; Cape, April 19; St. Helena, April 27. The Vernon Indianian (passed and spoken by the Trafalgar) passed by this port this afternoon, and sent in mails and passengers by a pilot-boat. Colonel Menzit s, K. R., Commandant of this division of Royal Mariner, will, it is rumoured, shortly be ap pointed Deputy Adjutant-General of the Royal Marine corps en the retirement (contemplated) of Colonel Owen, C. 8., K H. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert was removed this morning from the steam to the ship basin, prepara• tory to her being docked, which will take place as soon as the Rodney, 92, is removed from the angle. dock. The Elfin steam dispatch boat, Mr. A. Badiston, act ing Master-Commander, baying had some alterations made in her machinery, was taken out for trial to-day, prior to leaving this early on Saturday morning for Woolwich, to attend on his Royal Highness Prince Al bert. in I:en of the Fairy. Wind, S.W. by W., strong breezes and cloudy. WEDNESDAY.—The Pantaloon. 8. Commander Lewis de Teissier Prevost, arrived at Spithead this afternoon from the coast of Africa. She has not been twelve months in commission yet. She sailed from Ascension on the Ist of May, leaving the Centaur steam-frigate, bearing the Commodore, and the Tortoise store-ship, the only men-of-war there. Sailed from Sierra Leone on the 13th of May. She has brought home the mail in tsnded for the Contest, which wsuld not sail homewards until the Ist of June, and the folls•aing officers:—Mr. Byford, master, of the I'hilomel, and 1)r. Belcher, sur geon, of the Tortoise, invalided; also Mr. Buck and the prize crew of the Grappler, pJt on board the last capture made by that vessel on the passage home. To-day at noon, royal salutes were fired by the flag ships and the Superb, and by the Platform battery, at one o'clock, in honour of the anniversary of her Majesty's accession to the throne. Sir Charles Napier's letter seams to have told. The La Hogue., 60, steam guard-ship, bting ordered for immeditve commission by Captain M`Dougall, late of the Vulture; and his own production, the Sidon paddle frigate, being ordered for service in the advanced squadron. Officers were put on board the latter this afternoon. The merchantman Cornelia, Capt Meckleburg, passed the Wight to day, with 30 passengt rs from New Zealand. Far dates are—Wellington, Dec. 12; and Auckland, March 3. She sent in passengers and mails. Her Ma jesty's t.bips Fly, 18, Captain Oliver; and the Acheron steam surveying vessel, Captain Stokes, were at Auck land at the above date. Wind, S.W. by W.; moderate; fine weather. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 18.—Her Majesty's frigate Castor, 36, was yesterday afternoon towed into the Sound by the Sampson steam-frigate, from Chatham. Iler Majesty's ship Hibernia, 120, is to be paid off on Thursday, the 21st inst. Her Majesty's r,team•vessel Shearwater arrived from Portsmouth on Saturday, and went alongside the jetty to take on board the furniture of Rear-Admiral Dixon, Vice Admiral at the Cove of Cork. Her M.jesty's ship Queen, 110, was masted on Satur day and taken to the jetty to be rigged. Her Majesty's frigate Spartan was unmasted on the 16th inst. The Hamoaze lighter sailed on Saturday with stores for Pembroke and Holyhead. The Basilisk and Niger.—The most contradictory opinions continue to be expressed regar ding the compa rative merits of there steam vessels. Generally speaking, those naval officers who were long accustomed to the propulsion of shipping by sails, before the introduction of steam, are most attached to the principle of the screw. They say that the machinery of tha Niger is 150 tons l ess heavy that that of her compettior, that she can keep closer to the wind, carry double the metal, and in case of action, that her paddle being under water, is entirely free from danger. On the other side, the supporters of the Basilisk prove by the last experiments that her steam rower of propulsion is undoubtedly superior to that of the Niger, and they contend that the screw ought not to be considered in any other light than that of an auxiliary. The evaporative power of the boilers of the Basilisk and Niger were test( d in Hamoaze on the 14th instant, and the following data are obtained from a gentleman who is rather an advocate of the paddle-wheel prin. The Basilisk in 62 hours evaporated 118 tons of water, at au, experidaure at the rate of 54 tons of fuel per dly. The Niger in 10 hours evaporated 110 tons of water, at an exp( naiture at the rate of 39 tons of fuel per day. At the last sea experiments the Niger expended at the rate of 54 tons per day ; hence the question arises, why did she not consume the same quantity when along side t he dockyard. _ The greatest expense of fuel by the Basilisk, when at sea, at the greatest speed, never exceeded 50 tons per day. _ _ The supporters of the paddle-wheel conceive that, in consequence of the great discrepancy in the Niger's consumption of coal at sea and in harbour, some errors have been committed, r,nd that the experiment ought to be repeated. They also contend that it will not be fair as now proposed, at the next sea experiment, to cripple the Basilisk by keeping her tteam force down to 41b. on the square inch (to accommodate her competitor) when she can readily work at 81b. pressure; that this reduc tion is more favourable to the Niger than the Basilisk, and that an experiment formed on such a basis cannot prorerly detei-inine the best means of propulsion of Amin- vessels of war. These ships are ordered into the Channel again to-day. Specie— file Harnburgh brig Andromache, Captain Hansen, I . :ora Rio Janeiro, with coffee, 'which in conse- qtv-me of the northern hostilities has been at anchor in Gatwater for the last three weeks, landed on Saturday about 5,000 , dollars, which have been transmitted by the South Devon Railway to the eastward, for English steam conveyance to ilamburgh. The merchant-brig Queen Dowager, from Cape Coast Castle, bound up Channel, was yesterday supplied with fresh provisions cff the port. The Ranger, 8, Commander Thomas Miller, will be ready for the coast of Africa by the 3d proximo. The peanut was only hvi.ted on the 14th, and no men were entered till the 16th, but she has her tops and lower rig ging over, and topsailyards in, and all ready to receive her guns; in f ac t, no cra ft w i t h her complement, being still 10 short, could fit out more expeditiously. She is to be armed with six 32-pounder carronades of 17 cwt. each, and two 25 cwt. 32-pounders, 6 feet 6 inches long. Wind—scuth-westerly, light breeze and fine v eather. JUNE 19.—Her Majesty's frigate Castor, 36, conti nues in the Sound. She will be paid wages here prior to sailing for the Cape. On Sunday evening, shortly after her arrival, Samuel Coliop, seaman, unfortunately fell from the jaws of the gaff upon the ship's deck, and expired in a few minutes from the frightful injuries he recci vcd. Her Majesty's frigate Spartan, 26, will be paid off on Friday, the 22d instant. The frigate Niobe, 28, building in No. 1 slip, will b© launched about tha middle of July. The merchant ship Queen, of London, Captain Mac leod, with a general cargo from the East Indies, passed up channel this morning, and landed here Captain Mac leod, Mrs. Mlcrea, Mrs. MacCullum and two children, Miss Vass, Miss Thompson, and Messrs. Reed and Taylor, of the Bengal Civil Service. Her dates are Calcutta, February 25, and Cape of Good Hope, April 25. At Simon's Bay there was the flag-ship South:imp , ton, 50, Captain Nicholas Cory ; and from Gibraltar, the Orestes sloop, 14, Captain Henry S. Hawker. Early in April the Queen lost Mr. Thomas Mitchell, midship man, through sickness. Within the last feurteen days she has spoken the following homeward bound East In diamen, viz., the Prince of Wales, Vernon, Marlborough, Glori.ma, Earl of Hardwick, Trafalgar, and Coiling wood. Wind—wet terly. WooLwlcu, JUNE 20.—The Lords of the Admiralty arrived at IV( o wich dockyard today at two P.M., and immediately proceeded to the East Dock, to inspeot the Grappler iron stt ain-vt ssel, Cummanuer Lysagtit, that vessel having been taken into dock yesterday to have the leak in her bottom examined, to ascertain the cause of its taking place. Their Lordships were received st the vessel by Commander Lys tight, who was accompanied by his father Rear-Admiral Lysaght, anti conducted to ti bottom of the vessel, where the plate that had been put on to stop the leak was detaclitto, and showed the _ of excele I nt man:ler in which t w o pieces of the iron platform the engine-room had been made available fur foto have taken place from a copper pipe r thepreser vation of the vessel.

The bottom of the vessel is vezy foul with bar nacles and large live oysters, but the iron appears in very good condition, and comparatively free from cor rosior, as Mr. Humphries satisfied their; Lordships by having a portion of the foul substances scraped off. Their Lordships then went on board the Grappler, and wit nessed her otherwise excellent condition, the whole of the officers, engineers, and men being in good health, although employed on the coast of Africa for nearly three years. The Grappler took thirteen prizes and about 2,200 slaves. She is to be paid off here to-morrow. Their Lordships then visited the new chapel over the flitting for the accommodation of the authori ties and workmen of the dockyard, under the direction of Mr. Bernays, clerk of the works, and calculated to ac commodate about 1,200 persons. The Egyptian frigate Sharkie, Commodore !Talus Bey, leaves Blackwall to-morrow, for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted by Captain Johnson, and will then leave for Alexandria.
