N°.17,703.] LONDON, THURSDAY VENI A `r ty, JUNE 21, 1849. - [PRICE SD. Dif CIIIICOEHY.3 In the Matter of the JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES WINDING- O UP "ACT, 1848, and of the LONDON an MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCI ETY.d WESTMINSTER APETITION for the Dissolution and Winding up of the above-named Society was presented to the Lord Chancellor in England, by Stephen Phillips, of Theobald., near Ches hunt, in the county of Hertford, Esquire, the 15th day of June, 1849, and such Petition will be heard before the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, on FRIDAY, the 22d day of RK. June, 1849. and W. G. ROY, 42, Lothbury. Solicitors for the Petitioner. 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 of the chief part of the population was such, that it was indispensable to her, with tranquillity and pr.s peri:,y, that Hungary should advance with the times. The nobles, like the old noblesse of France, held their 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 1835, salutary measures were passed greatly improving the position of the oppressed classes, 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 ho 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 he 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, often not paid; and to sell his hay to the Government for the use of the troops at a fixed price, not equal to one-fourth 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 industrious—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 olose 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, Vienna, Berlin, Prague, Cracow, &c., 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. 3d. The transference to the peasants of nearly half the cultivated lands of the kingdom, hitherto held 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 income amounted to 101., or possessed of capital amounting to 301. ; to every man who had received a university diploma, and to every artizan 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 Lord-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 and 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 provipee of Croatia without consulting the Hungarian Ministry, whose counter-signature was necessary to legalise the nomination. Though this was a breach of faith, highly discreditable to the Austrian Cabinet, the Hungarian _ _ 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 Lambe"g, in his carriage, had reached as far as the beautiful suspension -bridge which connects the two towns Buda and Pesth, when he was surrounded by an immense crowd, brandishing scythes and muskets, and pouring down imprecations on hts head. In vain did he appeal to them, holding the Emperor's letter of appointment above his head; his cries were disregarded: and in an unfortunate mament 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 party. The Hungarian 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 against the authors of the outrage. Th e Premier, C oun t'Bathyani, finding his Ministry, as we have before stated, unacknow ledged, resigned, and his post was taken by that remark able man Kossuth, a genuine nobleman and leader of the constitutional and patriotic party, which lead he has ever since retained, holding at this moment the office 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 traitor 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 sus pended 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 left 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; and 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 cast, 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. Jellachich was very quickly repulsed from Pesth, and he 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, Hungary might still have remained a part of his empire; but instead of this, Count Stadion fancied he could ac complish something far more wonderful by octroying a constitution for the whole empire, by which, in spite of the earnest longing after nationalities, 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. Windischgratz and Jellachich, after the siege of Vienna, marched for Pesth, into which they succeeded in ob taming an entrance without much d,fficulty, as it was thought advisable, until the Hungarian forces were better prepared, to retreat before the Austrians. Kossuth, with the Hungarian Parliament, retired be yond the river Feiss to Debretzin, a town about 120 English miles east of Pesth, where he succeeded, during HELL GWYNNE TAVERN and CHOP IIOUS g, Bull Inn-court, Strand, for Luncheons, Dinners, and Suppers, Three Doors East of the Adelphi Theatre, and opposite Adam street.

The events which hare 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 since 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 eentu rics 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 sublime 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 decay. They are things that were. Their sun has set and no more to be remembered —new prospects are opening on every side of such ama z i ng variety and extent as to stretch farther than the most enlightened statesman or the most cautious observer can reach. These thoughts have been impressed on our minds, while studying. with 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 Wailachians, 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 he ruled. Of 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 in 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 lamentable 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 misunderstood not only in 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 Hapsburg, by the marriage of Ferdinand, Emperor of Germany, the brother of Charles V., with his cousin, Anne, sister of Ludovic, King of Hungary and Bohe mia, has been the acknowledged Sovereign of those two countries, but it is as King of Hungary, 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 Constitut'on as by law established, just as our forefathers of g loiious memory, From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)

They say that the machinery of the Niger is 150 tons less 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. O❑ the other side, the supporters of the Basilisk prove by the last experiments that her steam power of propulsion is undoubtedly superior to that of the Niger, and they contend that the Ecrew, ought not to be considered in any other light than that of an auxiliary. _ _ Baldock, E.

The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black, without trouble (by s i m ply combing it through the hair), and pro duces by one applicati on a pleasing and permanent change. While other dyes destroy the hair by their pernicious properties, this liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest period of life. Pe sons who have been deceived by preparations which have a horrible stench (dangerous to the head), troublesome in their application, and unsatisfactory in their colour, will find Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair l)ye a distinct article, agreeable in every respect, and that " none but itself can be its parallel."

Ong day, while in my garden•chair I sat, Two plumy people joined in friend:y 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 his 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, by I'm viewed as so much less than you ; In vain do I endeavour to engage, I've never been considered worth a cage ; But as for you, wherever you may fly, Mankind regards you with a curious eye. Pray what's the reason you are valued so, Is it your song, or what, I wish to know ?" " Nay," said the well-dressed goldfinch, " I presume, 'Tis not my song, but my superior plume ; 'Tis true, my friend, I've learned to sing a little, But scarcely any more than twittle, twittle.' You may depend, Sir, 'tie 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." Here ceased the entertaining conversation, While I myself supplied THE APPLICATI3N. 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. . Whoever may in M eses' 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, Which I've improved as well as I was able. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors was held yesterday; Sir Alexander Gelloway in the chair. 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 be made upon the 6th of July. Mr. TWINING, the chairman of the by-laws committee, brought up the usual report, and the committee were then 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 elapse after the notice before the ballot was taken, but in this case due notice was not given, and the ballot was taken within four days. The CHAIRMAN said that some of the most important cases ever taken before that Court had been rater red to the ballot upon much shorter notice than the time men tioned by the hon. member. Mr. LEwIN 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 iroottd with their accusers. _ Sir - J. W. HOGG trusted the chairman would exercise his own discretion with regard to this motion, and in form the Hon. 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 themselves 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 all 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. HoGG 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 would see that this was remedied. THE STATE OF LAHORE. Mr. SULLIVAN gave notice that he should move for copies of all letters from the Government of India to Sir David Ochterlony, 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 articles of agreement concluded between the Brit ish Government and the Durbar of Lahore on the 16th of December, 1846. Wll9 Cr9llt then adjourned. With reference to the early history of Hungary, we can learn but little. The oldest known inhabitants of the country were the Pannonian,. In the year 377 the Huns established themselves in, and gave their mullet°, the country. Their power was greatly increased under the celebrated Attila, but was overthrown in 489 by the Goths and Gepidte. These yielded in the sixth century to the Lepida, 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, became,the most im portant bulwark of Europe against the then powerful and encroaching Mussulman power; and in the year 1526 Ludovic, King of Hungary, fell at the head of his countrymen, while contending manfully against the Tut kish host at the disastrous battle of Mohacs. Down to the year 1687 the throne had been elective, though when any occupant left a male descendant the latter had been invariably chosen, but at that period the Hungarian Parliament or Diet decreed that henceforth the throne should be hereditary 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 similar case to this occurred in the union of the Crowns of Great Britain and Hanover in the persons of our own Sovereigns, while it left both kingdoms de jure and de 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 of Austria and Hungary, she in her distress threw herself upon the support of her brave 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 Rego 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 suc cessors at any time should attempt to infringe your pri vileges, you and your posterity are permitted, by virtue I 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 January support Austria in her frequent contests .with Repub lican and Imperial France, and cheerfully did she shed the blood of the best and bravest of her sons in defence of her Sovereign against the most formidable foe that Eurcpe had ever witnessed; and so strongly attached were the Hungarians to Austria, that all Napoleon'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 Austria towards Hungary; for, though during the 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 haa of thlnel i n nh t g s a voeftHu ngary soldiers oun mg a su n rc d yh s to oe p npbel be insulted r s i n ; ts f ou o l r te h d he allowbk y n tchhwei majestyt e h n a e t m a ie f s t er she had never failed to o ffer ber w hole p ower and re sources for the defence of the em p ire, nor had she ever e d wwii though her hopes had be en f r e q uentl y disa pp ointed, wants sought in the defeat and misfortunes of Austria an op portunity h e had to extort denied from tn her her Sovereig nprayers. t he t when the hour for repayment arrived those promises, o EA n mll t ip h aen e rcoe f r a , w i t wa h es of which Hungary had so freely lavished her blood and h er t re asures in defence of Austria and th e r f e oiarnr s i us li ne a hed m ea,dd e f a u floa l faci l y t t : het n erhr e ee g d l An c ts c has t ies e st d tra . hi naonep l e n ec, an l hs o B oif l wn s e t t e Holy which forwh houreßno it many of s t d o a o danger e r had p asse d, b o ldl y resolved Hungaryttothgaotv e r the n that kingdom without the aid of its Parliament. 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 years. At 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 Long 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 troeariesitnedstattohe Royalthec itizens graced for having legally Commis sioners; and regularly to convoke the states with whom you share the sovereign power. To these justand mode rate demands the Emperor wisely Consented, and things 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 fa/se 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 defended 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 for the reconciliation of their differences, de claring at the same time that the Ban Jellachich, who only three mouths 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 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 ann3unced 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 he was ordered to invade Hungary with an army of Croats and Austrians. His course was at first, in con sequence of the Hungarians being 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 wherever they went. The Archduke the Palatine took the com mand of the Hungarian force s to oppose him,l and, after an ineffectual attemp t at reconci i o a ff of - tion, from some inexplicabl e cause heset for Vienna, and forwarded his resignation ePala tineship to the Hungarian Parliament. .Shortly after wards the Hungarian Ministry resigned, with the excep tion of MazAros, _Kossuth, and Szemere, the ablest and most patriotic of their number, who 7spectivel retained their offices as Minister of War, Finance, and the In terior, in the shape of a Provisional Government, until the helm of the State was assumed by Count Louis Bathyani, 'one of thej 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 Min. 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, both Austrianand Hungarian, in the kingdom, and ordered posi tively to close the Diet. An Act of Parliament was immediatelypassed declaring General Lemberg a traitor, and refasing.t9__acknowledge biw. General Lemberg last winter, in performing such wonders in calling an army into existence, IS hieh has already excited the admi ration of Europe,in restoring the finances and conducting the administration of the whole kingdom under the se vere pressure of external end internal war. A great portion of the country fell into the hands of Win dischgratz and Jcllachich, 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 Windischgratz, 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-Chiet 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 al bity containing between 30,000 and 40,000 inhabitants. The last great victory on the part of the Hungarians was the taking of Buda, a large city lying opposite to Pesth, the present capital. It was a most brilliant feat 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 1" It was worthy of Rome in her best days, and the letter of acknowledgment of the good news wa , in a similar spirit.—" The thanks of Hungary to Field marshal Georgey." Windischgratz was recalled from the command-in chief of the Austrian forces. It was transferred to BaronWelden, but he having been equally unfortunate, gave up the command to Marshal Haytieau, who, if report speaks true, has signalised his accession to office by ordering a rich and beautiful Hungarian lady. Madame Von Udvarnolry, of Pesth, to be brutally flogged for having held communication with her brave countrymen, 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 eleven corps Warmed, the most illustrious of the captains of which are Bern and Dembinski, Poles by birth, and Georgey, whom we have before mentioned, and we are glad to observe among the number Genera' Guyon, an Irishman. It is a common mistake, however, to think there are many Poles fighting in 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 we firmly believe and trust, while expre ss in g our s i ncere admiration and sympathy for the br a v e Hungarians, that the rule of Austria over Hungary, so disgraceful to her self, has departed for ever.

Woonwicir, JUNE 20.—The Lords of the Admiralty arrived at Woolwich dockyard today at two P.M., and immediately proceeded to the East Dock, to inspect the Grappler iron ate ssel, Commander I ysaglit, that vessel having been taken ii.to dock yesterday to have the leak in her bottom examined, to ascertain the cause of its taking place. Their Lordships were received at the vessel by Commander Ly+tight, who was accompanied by his father Rear-Admiral Lyseght, atd conducted to tL• bottom of the vessel, where the plate that had been put to stop the leak was detached, and showed the excel lenti ' the engine -room h a d b een ma d e available manner i n w hi c h two p i eces o f the i ron platform d have es er taken vation of the vessel .
