This day being appointed for the obsequies of the, much-lamented Qteen Dowager, from an early hour the roads leading to Bentley Priory were thronged with vehicles of every description, from the light' spring-cart of the bumble tradesman to the carriages of the aristocracy, and a large concourse of pedes- 1 trian s wo re t o b e seen wending their way up the! Edgware road tow ards the late residence of the deceased Queen. The early trains on the Great! Western and South-Western Railways were s(1 I crowded with passengers for Datchet and Slough, ' tha: additional carriages had to be attached to each train ; and special trains, to meet the exigencies of the numerous persons anxious to proceed to Windsor, were dispatched from Waterloo and Paddington i termini. I About seven o'clock a guard of honour was mounted at the Priory, and videttes posted at the entrance leading to the mansion. A strong posse of the metro politan police were also in attendance. Long before daylight the villages of Stanmore and Bushey sent forth crows towards the scene of the mournful pre parations, the inhabitants closing their shops as a mark of respect to the memory of her late Majesty, and the bells of the neighbouring churches tolled att minute time. Shortly before eight o'clock the hearse, fully emblazoned with escutcheons, and the horses capari. toned with armorial bearings, drove up to the principal entrance of the mansion, and soon after the mortal' remains of her late Mijesty were deposited within it, l the procession from the Priory was formed, precisely as announced in the official programme, the mournful pageant proceeded by way of Rui3lip, Uxbridge, and Stoke, to Slough, en route to Windsor Castle. At all of these places the tradesmen's shops were closed, and the bells of the several churches were tolled, during the progress of the solemn train through the towns and villages. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) WINDSOR, THREE O'CLOCK. The mortal remains of her late lamented Majesty, Adelaide, Queen Dowager of England, were to-day consigned to the tomb in St. George's Chapel, Windsor. A Princess, more generally beloved and respected for her manifold virtues—her Christian humiliation tinder long and grievous suffering—her rare and gra cious charity, enhanced tenfold by the closing act of her life—her declaration that " all are equal before the throne of God"—the quiet tenor of her life, and the simplicity of her wishes with respect to the consignment of her body to the tomb, and the eschewing of all the antecedent pomp which i nvariably attends the sepulture of Royalty, it has rarely been our lot to have amongst us. It may Policy be said even of those who disapproved of the which so richly endowed Queen Adelaidel during the brief period ot her widowhood, that as al woman and a Princess she deserved the utmost re spect and reverence. The Royal borough of Windsor, even when graced bY.the temporary residence of royalty, is a dull heavy looking country town. Early . to-day it wore a duller and a heavier aspect than is its wont at ordinary seasons; the shops were all closed, so were! those at Slough and Eaton, and the blinds of most of the houses along the route of the procession were closely veiled, and the church-bells gave forth solemn peals at measured intervals. No greater respect could have been shown to the memory of the late Queen than was exhibited in Windsor and its vicinity. As the morning wore on the town received vast accessions of visitors, the Majority of whom wore deep mourning out of re spect to the late Queen. By mid day the town was full; from Windsor to Slough the path ways were thronged. But we must go back. At Bentley Priory andl Windsor, guards of honour were mounted as early as eight o'clock. Shortly after that time the body of the royal lady was removed from the Priory and Placed in the hearse, which bore ten escutcheons in g o ld, and was drawn by eight sable horses fully caparisoned. The procession moved along in the following order. Al ong th e w h o l e line the solemn cortege . received with great respect and reverence Many gentlemen raised -their hats altogether as the hearse passed by.

The mournful cavalcade, after a short sojourn, Proceeded onwards to St. George's Chapel. . St. George's Chapel was sombre indeed. The floors of all the avenues were covered with black e leth, and the floor of the chapel and a raised plat form extending almost to the door by wh i c h h e body. was to be brought in, was e° , l 'ered with the same sable commodity About half-past twelve o'clock the canons and d ignitarie s o f th e Ch a p e l Royal began to assemble. T h eY, with the gentlemen composing the choir, wore br oad black scarfs, and their hats were cov e red with fi ° wing hands: of the same sable hue. Shortly before one o'clock the sailors who 1 were to carry the coffin were mar a ailed in one o f th e aisles. They presented the v e ry b u f e ctu ideal of a British sailor. They were selected fr om the royal yacht, and were attired in the usual altar's costume, blue trowsers and jackets. They m ' o l'e large black silk handkerchiefs, bound with white ' Cord, round their necks. A few minutes before one o'clock the mourners, " Mentioned below, took up their places on the ' Platform. The mournful cavalcade reeched the entrance' aftee Chapel at one o'clock precisely. Five minutes r it was slowly borne into the nav e by th e under a ' e ra l men. The coffin was at once placed on a bi e r w ith w h ee ls. t_ T he e disti ngu i s h e d pa ll b earers too k up their position, the s ailors by their sides, two bei ng pl ace d a t need and two at the end of the coffin to a id in moving it in conjunction with the un dertakers' ass i s t ants.

Prince Albert was in the royal stall. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge, and Prince . George of Cambridge occupied the stalls. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of, Cambridge, and their Serene Highnesses the Duchess of Saxe Weimar the Princess Anti of Saxe Weimar, and the Princess Amelie of Saxe Weimar were also . present. Lord John Russell, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Norfolk, the Baron Knesbeck, and the Mar quis of Abercorn, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and Lord Marcus Hill were also present. Beside:, these distinguished persons, and the appointed mourners, none else were- allowed to be present in the choir. The funeral may, therefore, be pronounced the most private royal funeral t.n record The Archbishop and the Dean having ascended the altar, the Junior Canon gave out the lesson. The 39th Psalm, "I said I would take heed," was then. chanted, also the 90th, " Lord, thou hast been my refuge." The ordinary lessons of the day followed —lst Corinthians, 15th ch., 20th verse. During the , chaunting of the' first Anthem, " Then the ear g heard her," the coffin, from which the pall had ' been removed, was lowered into the vault, the crown resting upon it. This was fol lowed by "Man that wa - - burn of woman'' The Archbishop then read the part of the service which commences, " For asmuch as it has pleased God." ciwArd cf Saxe Next followed in succession, "Almighty God with whom," &c. Second Anthem, "Her body is blinded in peace." The Collect. The principal portions of the beautiful service of the Church was performed by the Archbishop. At the conclusion of the service Garter Sir Charles Young approached the grave, and pronounced thf• titles of the late Queen. The Lord Chamberlain and Vice- Chamberlain o' her late Majesty's Household then broke their stave: of office, and, kneeling, deposited them in the vault. The solemn ceremony did not conclude till half past two. The mourners then slowly left the chapel MARYLEBONE RATE-PAYERS PROTECTION SOCIETY —A meeting of the above society was held on Tuesda) evening, at the Horse and Groom, Great Portland• street. Mr. Beswick having taken the chair, briefly explained that the purposes for which the society was founded were—To use all legal -means of inducing the vestry to adopt rigid economy in the expenditure of the I parochisl funds ; to endeavour to obtain for the rate payers a more direct control over the same ; and t , insure the eliction of gentlemen as vestrymen who will attend to the interest of the rate-payers, and rectify th. many abuses now existing in this parish. Mr. Lucam moved En address to the rate-payers, inviting them it .join the association. The address stated that, sine '1836, when the rates were Is. lid. in the pound, Ike) aad been gradually raised until they were now 3s. 9W and that with a large increased rental and a diminished oumber of poor. The address was unanimously adopted; and after the usual vote of thanks to the chairman, the [nesting separate d. MUSICAL JARS.—For several years past a Madame o—, living in the rue de l'Oueat, has been a perfect nuisance to her neighbours, on account of her sour temper, and of the abuse she heap. d upon them when ever they might happen to make any noise in the stair ease. During the- last few months she has been mor, 'insupportable than ever, because the neighbours did not' pay what she deemed sufficient attention to her lapdog. and she vented her fury in particular on a music mis ! tress, because the noise of her piano m a d e th e an i ma l howl furiously. A few days ago, as the music mistress was giving a lesson, the dog made more noise than ever, and Madame o—, in her wrath, drummed away on a saucepan to drown the noise of the piano. At length she and the music mistress, both in a state o! great ex citement, rushed from their different apartments and abused each other with great violence. The dog backed its mistress by biting and snapping at her adversary; and this increasing the fury of the music mistress she gave it a kick, which sent it sprawling to the bottom of the staircase with such violence that its skull was split open. Irritated almost to madness at the death of her clog, Madame 0— rushed into the room of the music mistress and broke her piano into a thousand pieces. This grave affair of coarse was carried before the 'Pei burial of Correctional Police, and on Saturday Madame 0— was condemned to pay for the piano and the cost .f the law pri.ceedings. PICTORIAL Mars.—Acting on . a hint honourably quoted from the Builder, on a proposal made at the Geo graphical Society, for constructing large and uniform maps in the new Houses of Parliament, to be traced min depicted on the %sails, Mr. S. Bannister has Published letter addressed to:Mr. Eastlake, R.A., on the possibility of greatly amplifying this idea in the establishment of "Pictorial Maps of the land, the sea, and the heavens, georamas, and lectures on geography," for behoof of the people at large, in London and the chief cities and lonia , hroughout the country. Mr. Bannister has herd accu mulated a great deal of interesting learning on kindred topics, both ancient and modern; and suggests the pos• slbility of forming a new society for carrying out the objects st t forth in the propostil. He draws attention tt !he peculiar adaptability of the domes and walls of th Brighton Pavilion (lately sold to the town of Brighten) ! ,o begin with; and notices the fact that it is propo se d to' place a georama, or large concave globe or map of the earth, of 40 feet diameter, in the City Hall of Commerce.' also lately sold—the funds to be raised by subscription. Various other feasible proposals and suggestions are contained in this little pamphlet which we hope wil prove to be the fructifying germ of many more goodl; leaves and branches.— Builder. AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.—An old lady sixty years of age, of weak intellect, and wbo gave way to an sorts of extravagance, had long had a very strong feel ing of attachment for.dogs and cats, of which she kept a large number; and when any of them died she had then. stuffed, so that her apartment resembled the cabinet of r naturalist. In the midst of her collection she had had a handsome mausoleum erected to the memory of one her greatest favourites, and on the front of which well, written the words,'" Ci git Pampa." She had an old servant who resided with her, and who had imbibed mo, of the eccentricities of her mistress. The son of tin. is who occupies a rather high position in society, al. lowed his mo her a suitable maintenance, but, findin ) , that she denied herself the necessaries of life in order to indulge her whims, he solicited the proper authorization , to place her in a maison de sante, where she would hi taken proper care of. When the Commissaire of Police of the Palais National, in consequence of the application, . went two days ago to the residence of the lady, be founc her in the most wretched condition with scarcely an 3 clothing on her, and in her attire depicted resembling by closely the appearance of one of the Calot, ano it was not without considerable difficulty that he per suaded her to quit her menagerie and remove to tht asylum provided for her. STRANGE CATASTROPHE.—A most sericis cafes , trophe took place about two o'clock on Mondry • morning last, the Cathole dam having burst, and washed away the gable end of the factory (belonging to Mr. W. Halliwell, of Kitson-wood, near Todmorden) and greatly injured the goods and the machinery. The -7 tatter was quite new, andingood working ,order, At) tbe time of the unfortunate event, ihri wife itt Ur. J - On Judson, beerselter (whose house is situated ."abeart,-20 cards below the mill over the' watercourse), happened to ue employed in housework, when she was much alarmed on hearing a terrific noise. Being desirous of knowing the cause, she opened the back door, when the water rushed into the house in a mighty torrent, and Mrs. Judson was glad to make her escape ; the whole of the ale in the house was spoiled, and a hundred weight of sugar and other property also destroyed. So powerful was the force of the water that a very large quantity ofi ,oil was deposited in the factory, and some extraordi uarily large stones. The factory has not been many months occupied, it having been recently built for Mr. lialliwell by the railway company on account of their having obstructed the light of the factory he occupied It the time of the making of the Burnley branch line of railway. The damage sustained by Mr. Halliwell is cbout I,4ool.—Leeds Inteliigencer.

(From Eliza Cook's Journal.) The mouth of the -Seine is. as it is known, of verb difficult navigation, and even an experienced pilot ' requires all his attention to avoid the numerous sand banks which are covered at high water. Some years ago a very melancholy occurrence threw a gloom over the cheerful little town, which it was long ere it recovered. A rich watchmaker married his only daughter to the son :of a small proprietaire—both being extensively connected in and about Honfieur, where the families had long resided. They formed the eccentric idea of holding the wedding feast upon one of the largest sand banks, and after. the ceremony at eburch and the Mairie, the whole party eiilbar4ecl in a large boat. This odd fancy caused much laughter and amuse ment, but the . t4ptight of danger never entered into the minds of - thq, many who watched their loroceedings frotri the . ihore with telescopes. They! ere observed drinking healths and making speeches ; 7then everything was put back into the boat, except a barrel, upon which the musician mounted. Whilst they continued gaily:dancing, the fact of the waters gradually gaining upon them was unobserved by the unsuspecting merrymakers; but the moment the attention of those on the land was aroused to this cir cumstance, a beat was put off to their assistance though it was confidently expected they themselves would take the alarm in time to reach their own. Alas I alas ! the good cheer, the merry dance, drove out of their heads every recollection of the hour; and when at last they beard and saw the near approach of the rising waves, they rush frantically towards the place where they had moored their little vessel— it had drifted out of their reach, and before their friends could get near enough to save them, every soul with the exception of one sailor, had perished, and their death-shrieks were heard where their cheers! And joyous laughter had failed to reach. Most of the bodies were found, the pretty bride's among the number, in all her simple finery, still wearing her orange flower-wreath, which the curd held in his hand at the funeral, while he discoursed upon the necessity of our ever being pr‘ par- d to meet death. There was not a dry eye amongst his hearers as mayl well be believed ; but there remained no relations to mourn their fate, for every one nearly connected with either side, had joined the fatel party. (From the Post.) It begins to appear as though the Israelite influence were on its wane. The worship of mammon in the person of Mr. Rothschild received a heavy blow and great discouragement on Tuesday ; the Israelite was thrown from his pedestal, arid the thanks of all who dwell on this side of the Channel, an I have friends in England, are due to the shareholders of the Boulogne Railroad, who, by a vigorous act of energy, arrived here via Boulogne, at two o'clock on Tuesday in the afternoon, having left London at half-past four in the morning; they arrived at Folkestone at half past six, at Boulogne at twenty minutes past nine, At Amiens at ten minutes past'eleven, and at Paris at 11411 . -past one. The travellers, consisting of Messrs., Wright, Joyleafe, Potter, and Warren, brought with, them some copies of an English journal of Tuesday's; 'late, and these they forthwith distributed at the! Elysee, the Emba-sies, and the great commerciali louses of Paris.

From Leeds to Birming ham, 230 miles, the fare is to be—first-class, Rs. 6d.; and second-class, ss. 6d., allowing six hours in Birm ingham, or the privilege of returning on the followir4 day for an ex ra shilling. At the ordinary rates o travelling the journey could not be accomplished for lese than between 34 and 41., and at a penny a mite would amount to a few pence short of 11.

Stu,—Having been prt vented, to my great regret, 'rotn attending the meeting on the 6th instant, where; I intended to call Mr. Ro'se to account for his un• ounded it sinuatiuns, I send you, who have will so much energy directed public attention to the state of the • .2sledonian Asylum, the following documents for in. ertion. With the letter of the Rev. J. C. Cook lying )efore me, 1 renew my thrice-repeated, but as yet UNANSWERED challenge regarding the educational state of the institution. Mr. Cook's letter is a palpable evasion of my question, which, like the re narks of my friend Mr. W. Hamilton, on the 6th inst., Qvas founded on the explicit statement of, I think, several of those who were present at the xsmination. But since that letter has been J üblished lam constrained to call another witness, hose deservedly respected name nothing but a deep sense of the grievous wrong with which two most aithful and efficient servants of the charity (I mean the matron and collector) are threatened induces me co drag into this controversy. Leaving the meeting, in the 29th tilt , I addressed this very plain and straightforward question to Mr. Simpson : "Is it not' - he case that Mr. Cook said to the boys, at the close )f the last examination—' I see what it is, boys, l you've forgotten all that you knew the year before, last?'" to which Mr. Simpson replied, with equal Frankness, " 0 yes, there's no doubt he said so ; indeed I believe the master to be quite incompetent.j But Mr. Cook spoke favourably of the state of the ;iris' school." I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Dec. 10. A. Y. STEWART. DR. STEWART TO HECTOR ROSE, ESQ. 74, Grosvenor-street, Nov. 30, 1849. Sir,—ln your remarks at the meeting of guardians if the Caledonian Asylum, held yesterday in Crane .murt, 1 understood you to throw out a very sweep- i ; ng charge against those who signed th e r e quisitionl o the directors, and to declare that, though they would not speak out, their real motive was hostility o the superintendent, and a factious spirit towards the directors. I know, Sir, that you love open and -traightforvsaird dealing, but in that respect I will nott yield to you or any man. I stated my reasons rankly, and, let me add, fully ; and fur myself, I , mphatically repudiate and protest against your ac cusation. But to say that I have confidence in your super- • aitendent, and the present course—so far as I can rather anything regarding it—of the Court of Directors, would be quite as far from the truth. And of my suspicions were strong before, your open and 'rank avowal yesterday has made them tenfold stronger. The only recommendation of the report of the sub-committee, which has been so often referred to luring the last two years, respecting which I had any nisgivings, was the proposal of a superintendent. ['hough not strong enough to induce me to oppose 'he unanimous opinion of auch a committee, they were still of considerable strength. 1. Because my much esteemed friend Mr. Nisbet,l whose administrative ger.ius you know, and who) knows more of the working of the charitable institu ions of the metropolis than any other individual of my acquaintance, expressed his unhesitating conviction that the proposed office was at best a useless, and) would probably be a hurtful one. And 2. Because I had had personal experience of the , sfiice in tie Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where I was resident in 1838. [Here follow some details regard-i ing the resignation of the resident medical stall; andi the disorder which prevailed in the establishment for several years, and terminated only with the virtual dismissal of the superintendent. These details we omit, es likely to provoke needless controversy.] Now, Sir, it is quite plain that you are fully pre pared to re-enact this Glasgow drama in the Cale donian Asylum. You, like the directors of the former institution, are persuaded on very short trial, that you have got an "admirable Crichton"—a functionary so immaculate, that, for his sake, you are most anxious "to make a clean sweep of matron, band master, col lector, and the whole pack of them." I thank you cordially for this note of warning. It reminds me that a plot—shall I, with you, call it " a cabal ?"—to replace the matron by another lady who WAS said to be in readiness, was only defeated by a full meeting of directors, and is perhaps not yet extinct. It also reminds me that, at the close of that meeting, when most of the directors had gone away, a vote was passed to dismiss the collector without reasons—and that at the court of guardians, which signified its ;strong disapprobation by unanimously rescinding it, only the proposer had the moral courage, such as it • was, to show his face and defend it. I gather further, from your avowal, from the bye laws which invest .....---,--- him with dictatorial powers over the matron, waste fe,and mistress—and more than all, from the circular fr iread yesterday by the chairman, which makes him the irresponsible judge of what complaints are to be brought before the directors, that there exists a determination to concentrate in the superintendent tthe functions of the house committee, to which he ought to be kept in strict subjection ; to clothe him gw;th a sort of kingly authority; and to make not the restablished fact, but the bare suspicion of being disaf fected towards him, a ground of dismissal from its 1 charity. Sir, if your official were really " an angel from heaven" he might exercise such powers meekly and with advantage to the institution. But let me remind you, if you have f o r go tt en i t , t h at a f ter all , h e was chosen by the direct ors on l y as a p i s o il er, b ecause ithey could not get their late immaculate secretary. And further, let me hint (most reverently) a doubt whether one for whom you require to make a clean sweep of every official connected with the e,rtablish inclit, be the most likely to bear himself mcekly , under such a weight of authority. ,i , But no; I forgot, when I said "every official," : that there is one with whom neither you, Sir, nor the superintendent, nor the directors, appear to have any . quarrel—the most important official in the establish ment—l mean the Schoolmaster. Ii ut the question yesterday, and I huml4 think that of itself it war ranted a special meeting—" what is the educational state of the institution ?" I could get no answr rto this plain question, except that Mr. Cook, the Go !vernment inspector, had given no report. But why shave the directors newtr applied for a repast ? I affirm, Sir, (can you or the directors deny it ?) that the result of his examination was in the last degree ,unsatisfactory. Yet month after month runs or, and we hear no complaint regarding one who is alleged to "he the most inefficient officer in the establishment, while others, who are known to be efficient, are threatened with deprivation, because, forsooth, they are suspected of holding opinions regarding yr ur superintendent's merits not quite so extravagant sa ! the directors, who see comparatively nothing of him. iThey seem, indeed, to be so busy riding their super intendent's hobby, that they have no leisure to look to the proficiency of the children, or the competency of the master. Have I, or have I not, justified my want of confi dence ? I submit that in your avowal of yesterday —in the exorbitant powers conceded to the superin tendent—and in the admitted inattention of the direr• tors to the educational state of the asylum, 1 have ample grounds for concluding that any such feeling as confidence would be utterly misplaced. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. P. ST&WART. HECTOR ROSE, ESQ., To DR. STEWART. 30, Nottingham-place, Dec. 3, 1849. Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your ,letter dated the 30th of November, whi c h, as I was 'from home the greater part of the day, I did not get 1 1 ,611 late on Saturday evening, and too late to reply to; as Ido not mean to enter upon an epistolary warfare, or to do more than express my opinion in the proper place, you must excuse my requesting that you will not favour me with any mere letters upon the subject of the management of the Caledonian ,Asylum. I remain, Sir, your obedient bumble servant, (Signed) LECTOR ROSE. DR. STEWART TO HEC I'OR ROSE, ESQ. 74, Grosvenor street, Dec. 3, 1849. . Sir,—l find by your note of this date, just re ceived, that you have fallen into the mistake of sup posing that I expect you to reply to my animadver sions on the remarks you offered to the meeting on the 29th ult., and on your conduct as a director of the Caledonian Asylum. Allow me to assure you I had no such expectation, for I did not believe that you could find any reply to make. But I regret to find that I have fallen into a more .serious error in expecting, as I certainly did, that you would have frankly accepted my emphatic disclaimer of any such sinister and factious motives as I under stood you to attribute to the whole of the requsi tionists. You must therefore excuse me for having given you credit for a love of candid and fair dealing lof which, I suppose, you wish me henceforward to !consider you guiltless. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. P. STEWART. M. IVAN GOLOVINE AND M. MARTIGNY. The Legislative Assembly of France voted last week a law respecting emigrants and their naturali zation in a reactionary sense. The chairman of the commission, M. Martigny, spoke on the subject in so i unt:eeling a manner that it drew forth from M. Ivan I Goluvine a spirited and energetic reply, which we copy from a French paper:— M. IVAN GOLOVINE TO M. MARTIGNY. " London, 6th DEC. "I hear, Sir, that you have spoken in terms of bitter invective against emigrants of all nations and of all countries. Y( u styled them, I am told, adven• tuners having no country. You hate dreamed they tell me (for I do not read the debates of an As sembly which has given forth to the world suchgreat prcots of its worth) that your profound meditations nave shown Sou that refugees have, in every age and in every country, fomented rebellions. I hear your name, Sir, for the first time, but your patriotism does not seem to be an enlightened one. A man has never 'eft his native village, his country, his cottage, and his norizon, the fields that environ him. When he un derstands but one language, he has no love for any country but his a ND, and he would be happy to see it flourish at the expense of all others; but when he has resided among other nations, he knows that they are brothers. I remember, Sir, to have he trd, on the Place de Green, early in March, 1843, a man in a blouse declare a truth which the publicists themselves could not have better expressed—" We wish that foreigners should feel as much at home with us as if they were in their own country, in order that we may feel as much at home in their country as in our own." I know that M. Dupin is not of this opinion ; be thinks, forsooth, that men whO are citizens of the world do not acknowledge the duties of citizens, nor those of family; but although unchangeable M. Dupin is not infallible. The French emigrants have borne arms against their own country, but, on the other band, some of them have done good service to those countries that have received them as friends. M. L. Bonaparte has been useful to the ar tillery of Thurgovine, and to the London police 1 The Belgian army was formed by the assistance of Polish officers. In France the Polish emigrants received under Louis Philippe 20 sous daily, but they have developed every branch of in dustry, and the entire sum received by them has never amounted to the interest of the great debt contracted by the grand army at Warsaw, and which - the Chamber of Deputies refused to pay to the Rus sian Government. Will you venture to assert that , the events of the 24th of February were brought about by foreigners ? and for every single refugee that took part in the insurrection of June, were there not 100 Bonapartists ? Your men in power, when banishing the Polish Democrats from Paris, actually asserted that they expelled them, not because they took part in the affairs of France, but in those of all Europe ! ! Why should I speak to you of the unity of .nations, you who recognise only the unity:ofall polices? A foreigner is subject to the laws of that country in which he resides, and receives in return protection; when, therefore, a refugee is accused, let him be tried, but do not expel him the country. A law that places the power of banishment iu the hands of the Executive is a brutal and absurd law. Do you know what M. Rebillot calls meddling in French affairs ? To write French. And it has actually occurred in the provinces, that a self-satisfied and conceited man •• having before his eyes the mortal dread of his daughter becoming enamoured of a Polish gentleman, asked for, and obtained the banishment of the object of his suspicion. The day may come when France will learn to value national hospitality, and respect the rights of man. I am, &c. TESTIMONIAL TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES.
