THE WRONGS OF HUNGARY. A military tyrant may at any moment commit an act of rapine with summary speed ; sage and mode rate bystanders need time to learn and judge of the case. If we extend the doctrine of faits acconzplis to the high-handed crime under which Hungary still lies bleeding, we proclaim impunity and recognition to every unprincipled marauder. Established 1808.

This popular and profitable place of amusement will be disposed of, if an eligible offer be made, the present proprietor being desirous of retiring. Parties wishing to purchase may apply to James Coppock, Esq., 18, Parliament-street. A NOVELTY for the approaching season is in preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been giv,n, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116, and 120, Regent•street, and 22, Cornhill, as also THE TREBLE Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. G 5) in its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of tae wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate. THE NICOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND. IRELAND, SCOTLAND, and the COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or abroad, of Messrs NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENTA, and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL. THE NICOLL PALETOT (Regd. 6 and 7 Vict., cap. 65) WAREROOMS, 114, 116, 120, REGENT STREET, and 22, CORN lIILL. Also for - Nicoll's Morning Coat, now in almost universal request for the Country, Riding, Walking, Seaside, &c. Shooting Jackets adapted for the Moors, &c. Many have assumed the use of the word PALETOT, but Messrs. NICOLL are the sole Patentees of the design and material. MESSRS.

Removed from 71, Long-acre to Mr. Prout's, 229, Strand, London It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the privation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so frequently overlooked or Improperly treated, from either prejudice or misf.ake It is, therefore, of importance that every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which are—disagreeable odour of the breath, levered tongue, particular heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, frequent itching of the nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the bowels aisa, pale and emaciated countenance, and at other times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, dry cough, great thirst, vomiting, startings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of inclination to take ex ercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c. &c. These are some of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms ; adults as well as children are subject thereto. Youth or age may with the utmost Safety have recourse to this old-established medicine, which is zulopted by numerous families as a general medicine, particularly In spring and autumn. Sold in boxes, at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 61, and for children at Is. 11 , ,d. Also, the Cordial Tin Aure, to be used with the pills, but which will be found an invaluable family medicine for complaints of the stomach and bowels, bile, cholic, spasms, &c. —ls. 1.V., 2s. 9d., 4s.

While the Autumn dew-drops glisten On the grass and fading tree, Listen, fellow-sportsmen, listen, To a word or two from me. Nature now is calm and sober ; Autumn's beauties are revealed— 'Tis the month of pale October, When the sportsman seeks the field. New delights are now presented To the man that loves his gun; Other favourite game is scented, Other sporting havoc done. But, I pray you tell me, brothers, Whether you're prepared or not? have you changed your coats for others, Like the one which I have got ? If you've never been to MOSES' For a stylish coat, and strong: By your pointers' tails or noses, I declare you've acted wrong. MOSES' for a moderate figure, Far oulrival all the trade ; And I'd never touch a trigger In a coat by others made. .1•7 o one In his senses sober Messrs. MOSES could condemn, Therefore, since 'tis now October, Buy your shooting-coats of them. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

M One hall the world are desol I A Supposing desolately single, and the ether them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea Of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eomprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, an 4 broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness an eosin content. The dowry should not he the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform aa item In the Compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect weend more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Menial Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but fer the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to wh om they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by r oet Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamp;flets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life who owes his present existence, healt, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate —to do unto others as he Wood. he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always On the "sunny side of the way."

The Rates of Premium are calculated upon.. Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the Premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be psid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WIIOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured lire should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER-HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

(From the Bristol Gaz tie.) The memorials from the inhabitants of the parish of Clifton to the Poor-law Commissioners and the Board of Health, the former praying that the name of the Clifton Union may be changed, and the latter that the districts in which cases of cholera occur may be specified in the returns, have been numerously signed. On Tuesday W. H. Gore Langton, Esq., proceeded with them to London, where he expected to be joined by our city Members in presenting these documents to the authorities to whom they are ad dressed. The memorial to the Poor law Commis sioners we published last week. The following is the one addressed to the Board of Health : " TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH, " The Memorial of certain inhabitants of the parish of Clifton, in the Borough of the City of Bristol, asso ciated together under the name of, Clifton Improve- mcmt Association.' " Sheweth,—That in the publication of the returns from time to time of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea, reported to your Honourable Board, a very large number is made to appear as having occurred in Clifton, to the serious detriment of its inhabitants. "That a - public meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Clifton was held on the 20th of September, inst., the Mayor of Bristol presiding, for the purpose of adopt ing measures to correct the erroneous statements thus circulated with regard to the Sanitary condition of Clif ton, at which meeting a resolution was unanimously adopted, to present a memorial to the Poor-law Board, respectfully requesting that the name of the Clifton Union might be changed, whereby :tho reports of the sanitary state of the whole district might no longer unjustly appear under the head of Clifton only. " That under the provisions of the Poor•law, the fol lowing twelve parishes, namely, Clifton, Westbury-upon- Trym, Henbnry, Compton Greenfield, Winterbourne, florfield, Stoke Gifford, Stapleton, Saint George, Saint Philip and Jacob (out) and Saint James and Saint Paul's (out), containing together according to the census of 1841, a population of 64,231 persons, and an area of 27,189 acres have been united under the name of ' The Clifton Union.' " That the above-mentioned parishes of Stapleton, Saint George, Saint Philip and Jacob, and Saint James and Saint Paul, containing in 1841, a population of 38,740, are those in which all the deaths from cholera and diarrhces for the most part have occurred, as may appear from the returns of the registrars of these parishes, and each of these parishes is distant nearly four miles from Clifton, the elevated and healthy parts of the city of Bristol intervening, "That in the returns publibtied by your Honourable Board, except on two occasions, all the deaths from the above-mentioned causes that have occurred in any of the parishes forming the Clifton Union, are stated to have occurred in ' Clifton,' without the addition of the word Union' or any other description to designate that such deaths have occurred elsewhere, than in the parish of Clifton itself. " That the number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea which have been reported to the registrar of Clifton, as having occurred within his district, from the 9th of July last to the present time have been twelve only, and of these twelve cases it is known that only eight were actually cholera. With one exception, and that on the 6th of August, all these cases occurred in the Poor District of the Hotwells, and not in Upper Clifton. " That the number of deathi in Clifton which have actually occurred in the quarter just ended, including the above-mentioned twelve cases reported as cholera, is considerably below the average—from this it is evi dent that the health of the inhabitants of the parish has been during the summer and is still exceedingly good. " That Clifton, in consequence of the beauty of its scenery and peculiar kcal advantages, is • a place of great public resort, and is highly recommended to in valids by Sir James Clark, and other medical practi tioners of celebrity, on account of the salubrity of its climate. " That the returns of deaths from cholera and diarrhea which have lately been published by your Honourable Board, as having occurred at Clifton, have not only de terred many families and persons from resorting to the place, but have so much alarmed many persons as to cause them to flee from it, to the very serious injury of the tradesmen, lodging-house keepers, and persona pos sessing property in th e pari s h, and that, as appears by the facts above-mentioned, without any just reason, in asmuch as instead of being a place to be shunned, it should be, in consequence of its comparative immunity from the prevailing epidemic, one of attraction. " That a memorial to the above-mentioned effect, re spectably signed, has been presented to the Poor-law Board, in pursuance of the resolution of the public meet ing already referred to. " That at the same meeting it was also unanimously resolved, that the Committee of the Clifton Improve ment Association, be instructed to memorialize your Honourable Board, to publish the returns in such a form as shall indicate the parish in which the cases of cholera may occur. " Your memorialists therefore humbly pray that your honourable Board will be pleased, in making your returns of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea, which may in future occur in any of the parishes forming the Clifton Union, to distinguish the parish of Clifton from the Union which goes by its name, thus, Clifton, none,' or otherwise as the case may be, and ' Clifton Union' so many, whereby this parish may no longer be erroneously and unjustly stigmatized, nor its inhabitants and the owners of property therein sorionsly injured, as they have hitherto been. " Your memorialists are encouraged to hope your Honourable Board will comply with their request, by the fact of your having adopted a similar distinction with regard to other districts, and twice a partial though incomplete one with respect to the Clifton Union: "(Signed) WM. HENRY GORE LANGTON, " Chairman of the Committee of the Clifton Improvement Association. " Clifton, 29th September, 1849." SCOTCH RECONCILIATION.—A_ Scotchman, who was supposed to be at the point of death, sent for a neighbour with whom ho was in feud, in order that he might depart in peace with all mankind. The recon ciliation was effected, and the visitor was about to de part, when the dying man called out, " Noo, Sandie, man, if I &ma dee after a', its just to be atween us twa as it were afore." MURDER AT RESTON.—The eastern district of Berwickshire has this week been startled by a most atrocious and deliberate murder. On Monday morning the body of a man, named Walter Linn, was discovered in a field in the neighbourhood of Reston, a village be tween eleven and twelve miles from Berwick, and situ ated on the line of the North British Railway. From a wound upon his head it was discovered that he had met his death by violent means. A sum of money which he was supposed to have on his person seems to have led to the commission of the deed, and immediately on the discovery of the body general suspicion was directed to a man named M'Quee, who was accordingly appre hended and lodgod in Dunse Gaol. The particulirs of the case are as follows:—Walter Linn, the man who has been murdered, is an Irishman, about 26 or 23 years of age, and came to reside in Reston four years ago, having obtained employment on the railway line which was then in course of construction. Ile formed an intimate acquaintance with William M'Quee, also an Irishman, to whose sister he was said to be paying his addresses. They were seen together at Chirnside, and they were also seen in company returning towards Ren ton, by two persons at different places. bl'Quee returned home about eight o'clock. Nothing was se,n of Linn till next morning, when Messrs. Sinclair, butchers, at Ayton, went to a field near Reston-hill, the property of Mr. Bishop, to examine some sheep grazing there. They reached this field at a quarter before eleven, and in a ditch they discovered the body of the unfortunate victim. As we have already mentioned, suspicion immediately fell on William M'Quee. The police on the railway line found, on inquiry, that he had that morning gone by the train to Dunse. He returned home on foot, and on entering Reston, about one o'clock, was taken into custody.—Berwick Advertiser The following document has been issued by the London Hungarian Committee :- 1. Hungary is an ancient constitutional monarchy which used to elect its Kings. Every new King was solemnly crowned with the crown of St. Stephen, after taking the coronation oath on llungarian soil, in which he swore to uphold the Constitution. In the year 1687 the royalty was made hereditary in the family of Hapsburg; but, so far was Hungary from becoming a province of Austria, to this year not a single Austrian has been allowed to hold office in the Hungarian kingdom. An Austrian is a foreigner in Hungarian law and practice. 2. The Kings of the House of Hapsburg have, notwithstanding, made various attempts to overthrow the liberties of Hungary. After repeated attempts to fuse Hungary into Austria, and repeated insur rections, a lowg struggle begun by Leopid I. was ended in 1711 by Joseph 1., who was constrained to confirm the old constitution. Again, by the efforts of Joseph 11. to enforce the German language, and suppress the municipalities, a revolt was kindled, which his successor Leopold 11. finally pacified (in 1790) only by withdrawing all his brother's innova tions, and by making a peculiarly distinct avowal, that (Art. 10) " Hungary with her appaaages is a free kingdom, and in regard to her whole. legal form of Government (including all the tribunals) inde pendent ; that is, entangled with no other kingdom or people; but having her own peculiar consistence and constitution, accordingly to be governed by her legitimately crowned King after her peculiar laws and customs." Nevertheless Francis I. dared to violate his coronation oath by not assembling the Diet from 1811 to 1825. At last he was compelled to give way by the passive resistance to all government. From. that year on ward the Hungarians have struggled successfully for internal reforms h • constitutional methods, though perpetually thwarted by the bigotry, ignorance, and perverse ambition of the Austrian Cabinet or Crown. 3. The internal reforms which they desired were chiefly the following':—To remove or lessen the dis tinction between the privileged and uprivileged classes ; and improve the principles of taxation and the tenure of land. Next, to extend perfect tolera tion of religious creed to all. The high Magyar no bility are generally Roman Catholics; yet they have been as willing to concede toleration as the lower nobility and middle classes, who are generally Pro testants. Thirdly, to establish free trade with all nations. For the Austrian Cabinet choose to confine this great country to Austria for its market, while treating Hungarian produce as foreign. Fourthly, to maintain a free press, and the right especially of publishing the debates and proceedings of the Diet. Fifthly, in general to develope the great resources of Hungary by all sorts of material improvement in agriculture, in roads, in bridges. To this of late has been added a struggle fur general education. 4. One mode of resistance applied by Austria, was to extinguish Parliamentary Bills by the veto of the Crown ; the fear of which paralyzed the Upper House—a body always naturally disposed to lean to Austria. Against this the Hungarians had no ade quate constitutional weapon to use, since the, Austrian Cabinet was not responsible to the Hungarian Diet. The often repeated legal declaration of their indepen dence, and in particular the distinct compact of Leo pold 11., in 1790-91, justified them in desiring, by peaceful and constitutional means, to attain an inde pendent Ministry directly responsible to their own Parliament. 5. Such a Ministry had long been talked of and claimed in the Diet. In fact the Conservative party and the opposition had differed little as to the objects at!which they aimed, but chiefly as to the vehemence with which they should press them; the Conservatives pleading to "give time" to the Austrian Cabinet. But in March, 1848, the Conservatives, as a separate party, vanished, by the great mass of them acceding to the opposition. Kossuth carried a unanimous vote, that the constitution of Hungary could never be free from the eternal machinations of the . Austrian Cabinet, until constitutional government was estab lished in the foreign possessions of the Crown, so as to restore the legal status of the period at which the Diet freely conferred the royalty on the House of Hapsburg. This vote paralysed the Austrian autho rities. Vienna rose against Metternich, and a revolu lution took place there. A Constitution and a National Guard were enacted. The Hungarian Diet immediately claimed for itself also a responsible Ministry. This was granted without delay, and Count Louis Batthyany was made premier. But on the very same day, March 15, Jellachich was ap pointed Ban of Croatia. In a letter to Vienna, dated March 24, 1848, the Archduke Stephen, viceroy of Hungary, is found to have suggested three modes of destroying the Hungarian Constitution ; either to excite the peasants against the nobles, as in Gallicia, and stand by while the parties slaughter each other ; or, to tamper with Batthyany's honesty ; or to invade and overpower Hungary by military force. A tran script of this letter in the Archduke's handwriting, was afterwards found among his papers when he fled from Pesth, and was officially published with all the necessary verifications. The Austrians have not dared to disown it. Before March ended, a deputation of all the leading members of both houses from Hungary appeared in Vienna, carrying to the King their unanimons claim that he would consent to various bill& in these, the greatest constitutional change was the restoration of the old union between the Diets of Hungary and of Transylvania. But socially the most important laws were the equalising of all classes and creeds, and the noble enactment which converted the peasant into freeholders of the soil, quit of all the old feudal burdens. This Bill had passed both the Houses by Feb. 4, 1848, before the French revolution had broken out ; so little had that great event to do with the re forming efforts of the Hungarians. The Austrian Cabinet, seeing their overwhelming unanimity, felt that resistance was impossible. Accordingly Fer dinand proceeded with the Court to Presburg, and ratified the laws by oath. This is the reform of April 11, 1848, which all patriotic Hungarians fondly looked upon as their charter of constitutional right.;, opening to them the promise of a career in which they should emulate Great Britain, as a pattern of a united, legal, tolerant, free, and loyal country. 6. Croatia is a province of the Hungarian crown ; and there Jellachich, as Governor, openly organised revolt against Hungary, by military terroism, and by promising Slavonic supremacy. On Batthyany's urgency, King Ferdinand declared Jellachich a rebel, and exhorted the Diet to raise an army against him ; but always avoided finally to sanction their bills. Meanwhile Radetzky defeated Charles Albert. Jellachich dropped the mask of Chroatianism, and announced to Batthyany that there should be no peace, until a Ministry at Vienna ruled over Hungary. In September, as the King would neither allow troops to be raised in Hungary, nor the Hungarian regiments to be recalled from Italy for home defence, a Hungarian deputation was sent to the Austrian Diet; but it was denied admittance by aid of the Slavonic party. To catch stray votes (it seems), Latour, Austrian Minister at War, in the Diet, Sept. 2, solemnly disavowed any connexion with Jellachich's movement; yet on Sept. 4 a royal odinance (officially published in Croatia only), rein stated Jellachich in all his dignities, who soon after wards crossed the Drave to invade Hungary, with a well-appointed army 65,000 strong. As he openly showed the King's commission, Batthyany resigned, Sept. 9, since he did not know how to act by the King's command against the King's command. No successor was appointed; and the Hungarian Diet had no choice but to form a committee of safety. To embarrass them in this, the King re-opened negotia tion with Batthyany Sept. 14, but still eluded any practical result by refusing to put down Jellachich. Meanwhile, Dec. 16 dispatches were intercepted, in which Jellachich thanked Latour for supplies of mo ney and material of war. The Hungarian Diet published them officially, and distributed them by thousands. But llungary was still unarmed, and Jellachich was burning, plundering, slaughtering. Sept. 25 Lemberg was sent to Pesth, in the illegal character of Imperial Commissary of Hungary, but was immediately murdered by the rage of the populace. Masses of volunteers were assembled by the eloquence of Kossuth, which, with the aid of only 3,000 regular troops, met and repulsed Jellachich at Sukoro, Sept. 29, and chased him out of their country. But Latour was far too deep in guilt to recede. 'A royal reseript of October 3 dissolved the Hungarian Diet, forbade all municipal action, superseded the judicial tribunals, declared Hungary under martial law, and appointed Jellachich civil and military governor of that country, with discretionary power of life and death, and an expressly unlimited despotism. It likewise distinctly announced the determination of the Crown to incor porate Hungary into Austria. Troops from Vienna were publicly ordered by Latour (Oct. 6) to march against the Hungarians. This order, coupled with alarm inspired by the approach of Jellachich (whose defeat was kept secret), led to the enzeute in Vienna, in which Latour was murdered, a murder which was made a pretext for bombarding Vienna, and destroy ingdisc the newly sanctioned constitution. W gratz, the agent in this work, joined ci sheltered those of Auersperg, who meanwhile ha Jellachich. infuriated that, At all this the Hungarians Were 50 1 b d w h o were e len after deposing the generals hi_s foinrces to traitorously to have allowed Jellachich to escape), with inferior artillery, and with forces not half of the Austrians, who were 75,000 strong besides their re serves, they fought and lost the battle of Schwechat, October 30. This was the first and last battle fought by the Hungarians on Austrian soil, fought only against those who were protecting a ruthless enemy, who had desolated Hungary by countless outrages : Set this is trumpeted by the Austrians as Hungarian aggression. Jellachich (November '2) entered Vienna► in triumph, and was entrusted with a great army in the course of the whole war that followed. It is then impossible to doubt that the Austrians had supplied him with arms, money and authority from the beginning, and that they began this bloody war by combined violence and treachery, while Hungary was in profound peace. 7. The Cabinet now tried to obtain from Ferdinand a direct permission to carry into detail the rescript of October 3, and seize Hungary by right of conquest. But as Ferdinand began to be troubled with religious scruples, they resolved to depose him, and put his nephew on the throne—a Youth of eighteen, edu cated by the Jesuits, and accustomed to obey his mo ther the Archduchess Sophia, who was so identified by the Viennese with the Cabinet as to be called the Lady Camarilla. By intrigue of some sort they induced the half witted Emperor to sign the Act for his own abdication, and at once seated Francis Joseph in his place, who, not having taken the coronation oath, might be as sured by his directors that he committed no wrong in invading the laws and constitution of Hungary. An Austrian army marched into the country, and in the course of January and February overran and occu pied it as far as the Theiss eastward and as high as the Marosch northward; the Russians meanwhile pe netrated into Transylvania. Thu usurpation of the Archduchess and Cabinet* seemed to have triumphed. 8. On March 4th, 1849, Count Stadion published his new constitution for fusing down Hungary into a part of the Austrian empire. If previously Hun gary had been under Russian despotism, this consti tution would have seemed highly liberal ; and from an Austrian point of view, such it was; but to the Hungarians it was an intolerable slavery. First, it virtually annihilated their municipalities, and subjected their police to Vienna. Next, it would hare called the Austrian Cabinet to put in Austrian civil and military officers everywhere in Hungary—an innovation as odious to the Hungarians, as would French police magistrates, excisemen, overseers, colonels and lord-lieutenants, be to the English nation. Thirdly, it swamped their parliament among a host of foreigners, ignorant of Hungary and its wants, and incapable of legislating well for it. Fourthly, it was enaeted without the pretence of law, by the mere stroke of Count Sta dion's pen. If the Hungarian constitution, fourteen times solemnly sworn to by kings of the House of Hapsburg, was to be thus violated, what possible security could the nation have for this new-fangled constitution of Stadion, if it were ever so good in itself ? If they admitted such a right in the Austrian crown, in six months a new ordinance might reduce them under a pure despotism. In the face of wrong so intense, it is not worth while to name secondary grivances; but it was most bitterly felt that such was the reward of the constant loyalty of Hungary to the House of Hapsburg, and such the sequel of that so lemn act by which Ferdinand had so happily ratified their recent glorious reforms I On reviewing the constitutional question, it was clear to the Hungarians, first, that Ferdinand had no legal power to abdicate without leave of the Diet, which leave it was impossible to grant, since, in the course of nature, Ferdinand might yet hare direct heirs ; secondly, that if he became incapacitated, it was the right of the Diet to appoint a regent ; thirdly, that if Ferdinand had died, Francis Joseph was not the heir of the Hungarian crown, but . his father, Ferdinand's brother; fourthly, that allegiance is not fully due to the true heir, until he has been crowned; fifthly, that if Francis Joseph had been ever so much the true heir, and had been ever so lawfully crowned, the ordinances would be a breach of his oath, essen tially null and void, and equivalent to a renunciation of his compact with the people ; sixthly, -that: even to Austria the Ministry of Stalion—or,trather, the Archduchess—was no better than a knot of intriguers, which had practised on the clouded intellect of the Sovereign to grasp a despotism for itself ; while over Hungary it had no more ostensible right than had that of Prussia or France. All Hungary therefore rose to resist, Slovachs and Magyars, Germans and Wallachs, Catholics and Protestants, Greeks and Jews, nobles, traders, and peasants, rich and poor, Progressionists and Conservatives. Ferdinand was still regarded as their legitimate, but unlawfully de posed King. 9. Between the Theiss and the Marosch, Kossuth had organised the means of fabricating arms and money • and in the course of March and April a series of tremendous battles took place, in which the Austrians were some fifteen times defeated, and with out a single change of fortune their armies, 130,000 strong, were swept out of Hungary with immense slaughter. Only certain fortresses remained in their power, and those were sure to fall by mere lapse of time. The Austrian Cabinet WAS desperate at losing a game in which it had risked so much. Its more scrupulous members had retired, including Stadion himself. Bloodier generals were brought forward, and the intervention of Russia (long promised, and granted as early as February in Transylvania) was publicly avowed. This act finally alienated from Austria every patriotic Hungarian. 10. Upon the entrance of the Russians with the consent of Francis Joseph, the Hungarian Parlia ment, on the 14th of April, after reciting the acts of perfi ly and atrocity by which the House of Haps burg had destroyed its compacts with the nation, solemnly pronounced that house to have for ever forfeited the crown. During the existing crisis Kos suth, according to constitutional precedent, was made Governor of the country. 11. We all know how Hungary—deprived of her ports, taken by surprise, isolated, and abandoned — has been overwhelmed by the combined hosts of her unscrupulous foes. But has England nothing to say to this ? For three centuries at least Hungary has been a prominent member of the European family of nations. Her constitutional union to the House of Hapsburg has been a notorious public fact ; and in the Emperor of Austria, as King of Hungary, Europe has long seen a powerful barrier against Russian encroach ment. That Hungary is not Austria—that the Em peror of Austria has no right in Hungary except as its constitutional king—is as public a fact in Europe as that Hanover was never part of England. When Hungary proclaimed to us that the Emperor of Aus tria was no longer her king—that she had found the House of Hapsburg traitorous, and had legally deposed it; and when the Hungarian nation had by a unani mous effort actually expelled her invaders, there was the very same reason for our acknowledging the indepen dence of Hungary, as we ever had for recognising the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary at all. We have grievously neglected our duty by supine ness ; but the Emperor of Russia has perpetrated a breach of international law, most cruel and dreadful ; only less wicked than the outrage of Austria, because it was not also treacherous and ungrateful. Indig nation and pity for the Hungarians is for a moment swallowed up by admiration, when we contrast their humane generosity towards prisoners of war with the ferocious cruelty of the Austrians towards the armed and unarmed of both sexes. 12. The English Crown is peculiarly affected by these events; because they destroy the confidence of nations in the oaths of princes; especially considering that Hungary was the only great community on the continent, whose ancient liberties had not been vio lently and treacherously annihilated by its Bing. No guarantees of right any longer exist, except those which have been wrested out by popular violence, and established on some doctrinaire basis. The aristoc racy of England are deeply concerned, when the only remaining continental aristocracy possessed of consti tutional rights and taking the lead of a willing na tion, is remorselessly trampled under foot. Our com monalty is concerned, when deprived of commercial intercourse with fourteen millions of agriculturists. Our religious feelings are shocked, when Hun garian zeal for universal toleration is overridden by the Romanist bigotry of Austria. Our liberties are endangered by the spectacle of two sovereigns tearing in pieces a noble nation from pure hatred of its constitutionalism which nine centuries an h E a-v u e rope made sacred in their eyes.

What remains for England to do, but firmly to declare to Austria :—" Until we see the Constitution as it was before October, 1848, re-established in Hungary we do not acknowledge your position in Lombardy; for Hungary had a far better right to her national existence and independence, than you to your empire over the foreign 14ombards?" STATE OF HUNGARY. Acs, IN FRONT OF COMORN, SEPT. 21.—The weather has cleared up beautifully, and I can now give you some idea of the position and environs of this most formidable fortress. First of all, cast your eye on the map of Hungary, and observe how the greater Danube from Presburg to Comorn runs in an easterly direction, with a slight inclination to the south, while the smaller arm of the Danuba below Presburg, diverging to the left, forms the island of Schutt. At right angles with the Danube the Waag comes from the Carpathians, that is to say, from the north to the south, but before its junction with the Great Danube it falls into the Little Danube, to the north of the island of Schutt . , and both conjointly flow into the Great Danube, under the walls of Comorn. The fortress which the united Austrian and Russian forces are now block ading is situated on the eastern tip of the island of Schutt, on ground which is in the form of the head of a fish when drawn on paper, or an acute angle, one side of which is formed by the Great Danube, another by the united Waag and Little Danube ; while the base of the triangle is a very strong line of fortifications carried right across from one river to the other. The only side, therefore, on which Comorn can be entered by storm is from the island of Schutt, for at the other sides are the rivers. At the very tip, or apex, of the triangle is the citadel ; further west, where the island of Schutt is broader, is the town ; while between the town and the outer fortifications are meadows on which a portion of the 1,700 oxen which the garrison possess graze in security. Two bridges then connect the citadel on the north across the Waag with the tete-de-pont on the left bank of that river, and on the south with another tete-de-pont on the right bank of the Danube. These tetes-de pont are not mere fieldworks, but are of masonry, with a central fort in each, and sur- I rounded by bastions. To open trenches from the island of Schutt is difficult, o❑ account of the marshy ground in front of the so-called Palatinal fortifications; I and even the possession of the fetes de-pont still leaves the breadth of the Danube and the Waag between the besiegers and the defenders. Even these out works would be very difficult to take, for outside the one, over the Groat Danube, is a fortified camp on two hills, one called the Sandberg, the other the Schwaraberg, which the Imperialists at tempted to take from Georgey in July, not only without success, but with the loss of so many men that in some places the dead had scarcely room to fall without being on the top of each other. This was commonly called the battle of Acs, the bloodiest in the whole war, in consequence of the very strong position that Georgey held, with Comorn at his back to retreat to in case of a reverse. As I stated in my last, 5,000 Hungarians at this moment occupy the intrenched camp that crowns these heights. Two islands, one in the Great Danube, and another in the Waag, are also occupied by the Hungarians, which places at their disposition a considerable amount of meadow land for the pasture of their oxen, in addition, to the. " Meadow of the Gypsies," as it is called, within the fortifications on the island of Schutt. You will, therefore, easily understand that Comorn is beyond all comparison the strongest fortress of the Austrian monarchy, for although the defensive ca pacity of Mantua is equal to it, Comorn, as a centre of offensive operations, is much more formidable; and although Mantua is so difficult to take, it is also easy to invest. Now, in Comorn the investing circle must be considerable, and from these strong tetes .de pont the force within can at will break out in any direction they choose, as was the case in August (last month), when Klapka broke out towards Raab, and 700 men were cut down or drowned in the bog behind the house in which I am writing this letter, before the other brigades could ,be alartnitl. If such a thing were to happen mow, General Nugent could give them a hot reciption; at the same time I have no doubt that Comorn could defy any force that might be brought against it for many weeks to come, to say nothing of the incalculable incon venience which the stoppage of the navigation of the Danube occasions, for it is the great artery of this country. In spite of all this the position of the besieged is a desperate one. Like Mantua, Comorn is one of the most unhealthy towns in Hungary, and those very swamps that render it so difficult of access to a besieging force are terrible allies by th e s lower process o disease. By authentic accounts the sick in the hospitals of Comorn amount to 5,000 souls, and in spite of their large present supply of bread and butchers' meat the consumption of 40,000 mouths a day is making rapid inroads on it, and the certainty of nothing turning up to enable them to hold on has demoralized them. But Comorn having become the last receptacle of the desperate Ultras, Klapka, who is disposed to surrender immediately, has been repeatedly threatened. The armistice has been prolonged till 12 o'clock this day, and at this moment, while the clock of the village of Acs is striking 11, the negotiators are with General Nugent in discussion, so that I hope by post hour to let you know the result, for if the surrender is to take place, the good news will not fail to prove acceptable to everybody, and I am sure to none more so than General Nugent himself, who is too old and too brave a soldier not to deplore every life that may be uselessly lost in a civil war. Th(re can be no doubt that if they surrender uncondition ally, no executions for high treason will take place ; at the same time I think it highly unreasonable that they should make (as they are doing) the compensa tion for the bank-notes they have been printing at such a rate one of the conditions of surrender, as well as payment in good Austrian bank-notes or specie for the paper they have expended for the new works laid out in enabling them to keep the King of Hungary out of the fortress, which was built by Austrian money, and furnished with those immense Imperial stores at the expense of the Austrian war chestiwhich enabled the scot free Magyar nobles to give the uni ted monarchy such a tremendous shake. I do not blame them for asking the best terms they can get, but it puts one a little in mind of the Albanian, who takes the run of a Bulgarian larder, and then with a cocked pistol demands a recompense for the wear and tear of his teeth. These negotiators, whom I saw after the bandages were taken off their eyes, are certainly noble, warlike looking fellows, dressed in dark blue surtouts, with crimson silk thick cords braided on their breasts, hussar fashion, and fur calpaks. Their names are unknown to fame, the principal one of them being a colonel. Klapka, who commands in Comorn, is not a Magyar, but a Bohemian, and was an Imperialist Lieutenant in the Archduke Stephen's regiment of cavalry. Last night being moonlight, I took a turn through the camp, all the country around, as seen from any rising ground, being a great semicircle of fires, stretching round Uj Szony, opposite Comorn from the Danube round to the Danube again; so that it puts one in mind of the blast furnaces in the environs of Birmingham ; and this morning Comorn itself looks bright and beautiful from the outside, its white spires seen in the broad sunshine against the clear blue sky. All nature smiles, and it is difficult to associate its walls with such an amount of suffering as now exists within and without their precincts. Wherever we ride or drive we are struck with the fat black garden loam, which could bear crop after crop of wheat without manure and little cultivation, and cannot help wishing the dawn of a more favourable pacific period for this noble land. The village of Acs itself, so renowned in the military history of Hungary, straggles on a slight eminence, one t e e 0 1 it being the fatal bog into which the Ma August drove the Imperialists, and the other hten park attached to a hunting lodge of r i y tenants of t whom stein, which has at present hmeanwriter of these brief that nobleman never heard, considerably surprised n g o c Y t e her s a or sma ll p a t t r h a e i n language n g es t a - notes among the veer 1 English spoken by the servants to hear a great inz deal here, and learned boysti his race-horses, and that the blishment here : t h h a e :p ri i n c e k e ed ha u d Magyar belP--.411 grooms. The houses of the village from the Boglis and it whitewashed outside, are mostly thatched are a d down the street is lip a° , , t ro ops, and pools o f mu d almost knee-deep glisten in the sun as a squadron of cuirassiers slaps through them, or a block-up takes place of baggage waggons. All al ong thu . sides, or provision on the dry ground, are the stalls and carts of camp-followers; here a dame of 16 or 17 t s one weight, of colossal stature, is serving red O.en wm F • e or brandy, from a light cart, a and the re is Jew's store, ew' s store, with a display of camp necessaries and luxuries, of which boxes of cigars are, in this swampy climate, very prominent. Out side the village the camp looks just like a scene of Wouvermans , with the varied costumes, the wide spreading turf, and the ranges of tents, and standards guarded each by a corporal and twelve men, with their helmets all laid in a row on the ground. Some officers are neatly lodged, one Istrian regiment ha A -. ing built, on so short a notice, several brick cottages for their officers. The camp, in fact, is a town in miniature, like Madrid to the eyes of the Devil on The -Penile (in Commerce, published at Port au , Prince, gives the following account of the proceedings at the nomination of President Soulouque to the title and dignity of Emperor of Hayti : " The Empire! such is the event which occupies all minds. Last Souday, August 26. at the morneLt that we were distributing our journal, the cannons resound ing fr,.•,na every quarter saluted !he noininati-n of the Preiddeut h tin 8:Allot:Tie to the title and dignity of Emperor. " Sitlce the 231 of August thire has been circulated in the cai.ital a,ll 'address to the Members of the Chamber of Represen:atives and the Senate, demanding, in the name el the people, the title and dignity of Emperor for the President of 11eyti. This address was e, , vered With signatures. In the afternoon of the 24th it was sent to the Chamber of Representatives, and the next day two declarations to the sxm purv)rt, signed by the general officers, colonels, and subordinate officers, who were at the capital, were also sent to the Legislative body by General Vil Lubin, commander of the place. On the same day the Chamber, after having examined the peti tion, brought in a Bill conferring the title and dignity of Emperor on the President of Hayti. The day after, the 26th, in the morning, the Senate adopted it. " Immediately thereafter that body went to the Pa lace, where the representatives and civil and military functionaries were already assembled. The Emperor and Empress did not delay in making their appearance. The President of the Senate then placed the Imperial Crown on the head of the Chief of the State, and placed a cross of gold at his button-hole. Next he placed around the neck of the Empress a chain of great value, aftt r which the shouts of " Vice l'Ehipereur 1" re-echoed in the hall. Mr. Larochel delivered an address to the Em peror to which he briefly replied. " The public functionaries then accompanied their Majesties to the parish church, where a Te Deem was immediately chanted. For several evenings subsequent the city was illuminated." The decree of the Legislative body was worded as follows : " Considering the wish manifested by a majority of citizens and officers of every rank, and addressed to the Chamber of Representatives and Senate to receive the sanction of the Legislative body; " The Chamber of Representatives and Senate, uniting in the wish of the people and the army. " Decree as follows : " Art. 1. The title and dignity of Emperor are cow ferred on the President of Hayti, Faustin Soulouque, as a mark of gratitude fur the eminent services which that illustrious chief has rendered to the country. " 2. The present laws and institutions will remain in force until the LE gislative body shall be called on to re vise them in order to render them conformable to the new state of things. " Given at the Chamber of Representatives, August 26th, 1849, the 46th year of indep , ndence." (Signed by the President, Secretaries, and twenty-nine Members ) The Senate adopted the Bill the neat day,rand its vote i 3 similarly signed by all its officers. The Em peror accepted his elevation in the following lan- guage : " The President of Hayti declares that he submits to the wish of the nation, which, by the agency of the Chamber and the Senate, confers on him the title of Em peror. In consequence, he orders that the above law of the Legislative body be promulgated and executed throughout the territory of the Empire. " Given at the Imperial Palace at Port-au-Prince, August 26th, 1849, the 46th year of independence, and the first of our reign. " SOULOUQUE. " By the Emperor." (Signed by the Secretary•• General and other officials ) The Senate, on adopting the decree, prepared an address, stating that the act was done in obedience to the wish of the nation, and telling Soulouque that his profound love for the public weal and high sense of duty had entitled him to the dignity, his elevation to which would assure the future prosperity of the nation. The proclamation of the new monarch to his subjects is as follows " LIBERTY, EQUALITY. "EMPIRE OF HAYTI. " PROCLAMATION TO THE PEOPLE AND THE ARMY BY FAUSTIN SOULOUQUE, EMPEROR OF HAYTI. " Haytians! The faithful organs of the nation, the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate, by a spon taneous vote, have conferred on me the title of Emperor. The slave of the country which has confided to me its destinies, for whose glory and happiness there is no sacrifice I am not ready to consummate, it is my duty to accept without hesitation, bat with the deepest sentiment of devotion, the new burden imposed upon me. " Full of confidence in the Supreme Will, which on two solemn occasions has evinced for me its benign solicitude, I preserve the happy hope of being able worthily to respond to your expectatio.i, by maintaining all the institutions which guarantee the rights of citi zens, by causing order and peace to reign in the empire, by assuring the triumph of the principles of liberty and equality, and by maintaining at the price of all possible sacrifices the independence of the country and the tuttg rity and indivisibility of its territory. " Haytian,! The Legislative body will at once be called on to engage in the revision of the constitutional compact, in order to put it in harmony with the new order of things; I will observe its prescriptions and cause them to be observed. I swear it before God and man. " Haytians! Let the new era which opens before us be marked by the most complete fusion of hearts; let it cause all passions to be silent, if any still exist among us; and let us all join the hands of reconciliation on the altar of the country. " Vivent Liberty and Equality! " Vivent Union and Concord! " Vive Independence! " Vive the Empire of Hayti, one and indivisible! 1 " Given at the Imperial Palace, Port au-Prince, Aug. 0 6, 1549, in the 46th year of independence and the first of our reign. " SOULOUQUE.

THE HIBERNIA.—This powerful ship, which struck rshaiip's,coulntwill miennducing upon a rock, and had to be sent back from British Ame rica for repairs here, went into the Secanal Dry Dock, near Pike-slip, on Monday, under the care of Messrs. M‘Pherson and Gray, shipwrights and caulkers, who have about fifty men at work on her stem and keel, which have received so much damage that it will pro bably Le the end of the week before she gets afloatagain. Had not the Hibernia been a very strong-built vessel she would have been wrecked; no ordinary ship could over have get off that rock egain. The copper is stripped off in part, and all the heel of the stem and the forward part of the keel, and deadwood and heels of cants are carried away; full eight feet up the stem, and about thirty feet aft, of the keel, is destroyed. The rock, on which she remained half an hour, she must have struck upon with terrible force. To prevent the water from filling the ship, they promptly built a box and caulked it carefully forward near the leak, and thus prevented the waters from gaining on them all through the ship. They then put back for Halifax, and in a very few days this tight steamer will be just as sea worthy as if there were not a rock on the whole coast of America.—Ncw York Herald of 19th Sept. ME. TIDD PRATT AND THE BALLOT.—It iS not so generally known as it should be that from 1,000 to 1,200 societies are at the present moment in active_ wbo ope ration for the purpose of enabling members of t e ( hcarious comprise about half a million of the purel nements into capital for their purc u li t as te e n , years' rent.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We have had a week of most splendid weather for the completion of the harvest. The crops, which everywhere have proved most abundant, are now nearly all safe under cover. The accounts of the potato crop are disheartening. From all quarters we hear that the disease is making serious havoc amongst the " tubers." Some farmers say that at least one half their crops is already destroyed; others say that even if one-half be gone, there will still be an abundant supply left on hand.—Carlisle Journal. A stout, red-faced gentleman, in a white beaver, blue coat, and buff vest, offered to wager a 101. note that he would close his eyes, and, simply by taste, name any kind of liquor in the house. The bet was taken, an d the process of winning or losing commenced forthwith. " This is genuine port," said the fat gentleman, tasting from a wine glass. " And this—this is whisky," and so on through the hotel's " manifest." A wag then poured a few drops of water into the glass, and handed it to the connoisseur. " This is—ah—ah—this is (tasting it)-- Iby Jupiter! gentlemen, I lose the bet. I never tasted this liquor before." A 4 E - .) 4 .1 .4
