How a man of such ad vanced views as Louis Napoleon should be desirous of reviving so barbarous a pastime in France it is difficult to understand. Eight bulls and six horses were killed and drawn off in triumph from the ring before the sun went down. The spectators seemed to take a savage pleasure in the agonies'of both kinds of quadrupeds. No wonder that a people accustomed to such sights should not think much of using a knife in their quarrels with one another.

On Italian soil battles may be gained, but a strategical victory, together with a final solution, only on the Danube can be obtained. It is not in Italy that Hannibal Was vanquished and Italy was freed by Scipio. , This, however, rests with the people and Govern ment of Italy to decide. To my friends in England and Scotland I would say—Do all you can to accele rate and to help the cause of Italy, as thereby you will accelerate and promote the cause of Hun gary. Our interests are identical, and our cause is one and the same. ADVOWSON.--PREEHOLDS UPTON AND ROTHERS THORPE, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.

Au inquest was held on the body of James Outon, aged 22 years, on the evening of Thursday , October 17, in a large room at Bishop Otter's College , be fore the City Coroner, Mr. James Powell. The following gentlemen were sworn as jury men:--John Pratt, foreman; Henry Gadd, George Fogden, Samuel Reynolds, G. Dale, Henry Greer. - field, R. Smith, W. Pillow C. R. Maeauley, E. Col lins, J. Adames, and Charles Powell. Police-constable William Pullen deposed—l am a police-constable of the c ity of Chichester. At about five minutes to 12 o'clo c k test night, while on duty near the Sun public-house, Somer's-town, I heard the report of a rifle, followed by a peculiar cry of " Yah, yah !" seven or eight times. I immediately went up past the poor house to the barracks to the, guard-room, and told what I had heard. I knew.,' soldier was at large. I obtained the assistance of , three soldiers armed with loaded rifles. We came down Love-lane, and on passing near the style which leads into the .college field, through which passes a pathway to Grayling Well Farm, I heard a faint cry of " Police, police !I am shot !" I got over the style and saw some one lying in the meadow with his back on the bank. It might be ten yards in the field. I said to the soldiers, " Here he is." They went in front. On passing the light of my lantern over his face, I reectnised him as belonging to Bishop Otter's College. I asked him if he did belong to the College, his answer was,." Yes." He was quite sen sible. In reply to my questions, he said he had been hot by a soldier who was sitting on the gate, and bid me look sharp and take him away, or he should die with cold. He also told me that thti soldier after he had shot him, ran away down the lane towards Chichester. There were no traces of blood in the road. Such friends to the cause of Italy and Hungary as may publish this letter will oblige by noticing that William Ashurst, Esq., 6, Old Jewry, London, and James Smith, Esq., 425, Argyll-street, Glas gow, are duly authorised to receive subscriptions in aid of the anticipated movement in Italy and Hun gary ; and while I appeal to all friends of liberty to unite and subseribeln their respective localities, I ean,assure . them that ne "debt or responsibility rests on any of the liberal movements in which I have been engaged during at least the last 12 years ; therefore no liability will be incurred for the past by such as may take part with us in the approach ing struggle for continental freedom.

THE BULL-FIGHTS AT SARAGOSSA. SARAGOSSA, OCT. 12. To-day is the feast of the Virgin of Si. Pillar. Of the many holyday occasions of this country, none, at least in the north of Spain, is more re nowned. Partly from religious veneration, partly from curiosity to see the bull-fights, which take place on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the people here are in a state of excitement which equals that of London and its environs on the Derby-day. The shops are shut, and the streets and churches so crowded that it is difficult to make one's way. The church of St. Pillar affords an interesting spectacle to a Protestant. Hundreds of people are kneeling before the celebrated image of the Virgin, said to have descended straight from Heaven on the very spot on which it is now resting. There would be thousands, but they cannot find kneeling room. Yesterday I saw from 100 to 150 monks walk in solemn procession to the shrine, and then kneel on the hard stone, still keeping their ranks. It has been suggested (no doubt by some ill-natured per sons) that this image, though it now boasts a high antiquity, was not heard of till the Aragonese authorities had become jealous of a certain shrine in the interior of Spain which attracted large mul titudes of strangers. Tradition hints that on grounds of both religious and commercial policy the said authorities were induced to cast about for a rival. If this is so they, at least, have the merit of success. One feature generally observable enough in scenes of this sort is conspicuous by its absence —there are no English tourists. Of French there are enough and to spare, but Englishmen have never been much addicted to travelling in a country in which locomotion has always been attended with much roughing and delay, and they have not yet discovered that these drawbacks have been in a great measure removed. The railway between Pam peluna and Saragossa has only been open a few days. What was formerly a very serious journey by diligence can now be perfor►ned in five hours and a half, And certainly it is worth two days' excur sion over the French border to see a country and a people so completely different from anything to be found elsewhere in Europe. The first part of the line from Pampeluna passes through a lovely coun try, rich in vines, which yield some of the best wine in Spain. Every station is a source of amusement to the carious traveller. At Tudela you are sure of seeing a crowd of the most motley description,— stately priests with their quaint, superstitious-look ing hats, dark-eyed belles peering through their veils and vainly attempting to use their fans, rail way officials with cigars in their mouths, and pea sants, many of them with arms and faces as swarthy as those of an Arab, are all jumbled toge ther in glorious confusion. The latter aro especially picturesque. They wear knee-breeches and sandals, and invariably carry a broad blue or red sash round their waist. A jacket is hung over the shoulder in case of bad weather surprising them, and they de spise all head-covering but a red handkerchief tied round the temples, the skull remaining exposed to the sun, which is as hot as in our July. • The manager of the locomotive department in formed me that there had been no serious accidents as yet, but that he should not wonder if there soon were; as the company had been foolish enough to dismiss all its English engine -drivers, and their places were most inadequately supplied by Spaniards. The only occasion on which a man had been killed arose from his mule taking it into its head to indulge in a fit of obstinacy while cross ing the line just as an engine was coming up. It is curious to see Spanish artillery drawn entirely by these long-eared animals, It is said that the French Emperor has begun to use them for the same purpose. W. T. POWER, Deputy Commissary General. Deputy Commissary-General's Office, 5, New-street, Spring-gardens, London, S.W., Ist October, 1861. By the Coroner—Did he appear to be aware of being in a dying state? Witness—No. He said he thought he was wounded in the thigh, and was bleeding internally.. I whistled for assistance, and one of the soldiers went to the barracks for help. By the assistance of police-constable Collins and others we placed him on a gate, and took him to the College, where he was placed on a mattress, and taken upstairs. He said nothing else in my hearing. He died about two hours from the time of my hearing the report of the rifle. I produce the waistcoat he had on. A ball has shot away a button, and his watch guard was shot asunder. There is a hole nearly in the centre of the front and back part of the waist coat. His watch, ring, and other property were on his person. He had• not been robbed. About half an hour elapsed between the report of the gun and the finding of the young man in the field. Alven Duke, M.D., stated—l am a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. I was called up by a policeman between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning with the request that I would come immediately to this College. He said one of the students had been shot. When Igot here T found the deceased on a bed. I observed a great quantity of blood on his shirt, and a circular wound about 3 inches below the extremity of the breast-bone, and another circular wound in the back about 31 inches on the right side of the spine. The wounds were such as would be caused by a bullet. From the c . ted.n state of the edges of the wounds in all probability they were caused by a conical ball from a rifle. He was in a dying state when I saw him. He died about five minutes after my arrival. The wounds were the cause of his death. He must have been nearly on a level with the rifle when shot. He probably died from internal haemorrhage. He could not have in flicted the wound on himself. By Mr. Dale—From indications on the waist coat, how far should you think deceased was from the rifle when shot ? Witness—Very near, indeed. The waistcoat produced wasperforated in the front and back, and much stained with blood, with slight markings of gunpowder on it. - Matthew Parrington sworn—l am a member of the Church of England and Principal of Bishop Otter's College. The name of the deceased was James Outon. lie was 22 years of age, and my pupil. Close on 12 o'clock last night I heard a loud report of a gun. I heard shrieks as if of a wounded person ; about three shrieks. I then got out of bed and looked out of window, which looks down to the spot where the sound came from. As I heard no more noise, nor could I see anything, I went to bed again. Noises and cries arc so frequent in the lane, which is a great tho roughfare to the barracks, that I pay little atten tion to them. I also thought, as it was near the sth of November, some one might have let off a rocket. I had no knowledge of an inmate of my establish ment being out. I was afterwards roused from sleep by a violent knocking at the door. On opening it, I found Outon lying on a gate in the carriage-road attended by police and soldiers. I addressed him by his name, but received no answer, nor do I be lieve he spoke at all afterwards. I have been in formed that he had been to the house of Mr. Bridger in St. John's-street. I had not given him leave of absence on this occasion. Mr. Bridger I know from hearsay to be a respectable person, and have given him leave to visit him, and should have done so now if asked. At this stage of the proceedings the usual certifi cate of burial was given by the Coroner, and shortly afterwards, it being 11 o'clock, the inquest was ad journed to the following evening, at 7 o'clock. Saragossa, though the capital of Aragon, would eminently disappoint any one who expected refine ment. There is, generally speaking, no trotioir ; the pavement is dirty and so rugged that anything bnt the solid wheels of an ox-cart would soon be rattled to pieces, and every one comes home footsore who is not provided with the thickest of boots. The streets are narrow and wretchedly lighted. Indeed, civilisation has not at present advanced as far as gas. On the other hand, the very defects of the place will attract the traveller who seeks for know ledge. You may here see an important town whic has the peculiarity of having made no improve ment for several hundred years. From its present appearance you may form a pretty shrewd notion of what towns very generally were in the middle ages. CAPTURE OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. Superintendent Parnell, of the Midhurst police, apprehended John Cleary, the soldier, the supposed murderer of James (futon, near Coultershall•mill, few miles from Petworth, at 7 o'clock in the even ing of Thursday, the 17th inst. He had his uni form on when captured, which was not done without difficulty. He was brought to Chichester and lodged in the city gaol the same evening. - The wide portals and staircases looking out into narrow, slovenly streets, give one a capital idea of the combination of magnificence and dirt which characterised the days of ancient chivalry. As this country will soon be flooded by tourists a word of advice may bo useful. Let no one come without an antidote against insects. Your Spanish flea is a most independent personage. He hops about in your sight with the appearance of a Lon don cocksparrow. Even in hotels, which but for his presence would be very good, his ancient charter of immunity seems to be in a great measure re spected. At theatres and cafes he is perfectly at home. OCTOBER 13. Certainly October is the month for travelling:,in Spain. We are enjoying the perfection of English summer weather. Windows are kept open day and night, and yet the heat is not oppressive. The principal bull-fight took place to-day at 3 o'clock. Never was amphitheatre more crowded. If you had scattered a pocket of pins in almost any part of the building, hardly one of them would have reached the ground. The seats are covered by a roof, but the arena is exposed to the open air ; otherwise, such close packing would have been intolerable. It is a fine thing to see 10,000 people sitting together at any time, but there is something about a Spanish crowd peculiarly fascinating to a stranger. The uniforms of the soldiers, the cocked hats of the policemen, and the lavish mixture of colours in the dresses of both men and women, with here and there costumes of the quaintest description, pro duced a scene upon which any artist might have dwelt with pleasure. At the appointed time the band struck up, and the whole corps of performers saluted the President. Three horsemen and eight or nine men on foot, all dressed in the gayest man mer, and most of them provided with bright coloured shawls, remained in the ring. Suddenly I CONTRACT FOR ITALIAN HEMP.

Kossuth, addressed to Mr. M'Adam, of Glasgow, relative to the pre sent position of European politics, will be read with great interest. It appears in the Glasgow Herald, with a prefatory one by Mr. McAdam : The anxious solicitude of Glasgow friends of the patriot Kossuth has drawn from him (now on the Continent) a deeply-interesting leter, dated the 7th inst., such portions of which, bearing on the general question of European freedom, we think it no breach of confidence to publish, but au act only of simple justice to our people, who so entirely sympathise with him on his indignant retirement from the base espionage to which he has been subjected by a portion of our Government, for the advantage of that Austria which has ever been our enemy when it dared, and never has been our friend unless when subsidised. Kossuth may yet smile with contempt for such as the renegade Roebuck—may even forgive the unconstitutional interference of our Government in his issue of notes for his native country (of which he is legally, and in the hearts of its people still its only legitimate Governor), and for the seizure of arms stored at Galatz for the restoration of his country's freedom ; but a reckoning will yet be exacted for this, and for past espionage on him and other patriot exiles, by our people, who detest alike the police and Post-office spy, and are disgusted with that bad part of the German element—too prevalent in our councils -which thus disgraces our national hospitality. Kossuth asks nothing from us now but the sym pathies of our people for his country, and that we should not allow the British Government to coun tenance Austrian might against Hungarian right— and even going the length of acting the spy and the policeman, both at home and abroad, for Aus tria, to the prejudice of Hungary—a course not less derogatory to the honour of Great Britain, than contrary to the feelings of the British people. We give that portion only of his letter which relates to the Hungarian question, and make no comments ; but we appeal to his friends now to ask for him, or for his friend Garibaldi, again preparing to strike for European freedom, when they think the right hour has come.—l am, respectfully yours, JOHN MADAM. 45, Hyde Park-street, Glasgow, Oct. 17, 1861. EXTRACT OF M. KOSSUTH'S LETTER. On the Hungarian Diet having been convoked, and Italy having not yet been prepared for throw ing down the gauntlet to Austria on account of Venice, it became all important to provide that Francis Joseph should not be crowned King of Hun gary, because coronation would have implied a new compact—a new transaction with that infamous dynasty. I for one am opposed to the very idea of any such transaction (be its terms what they may), not from any revolutionary spirit. To me revolu tion is not a profession. I look upon it as a means only justifiable as the last awful, but (because the last) inevitable resource for preserving a people from national death or from slavery, or as the inevitable means for establishing a people's national life and liberty. I am opposed to the very idea of any transaction with the House of Austria, because I know that faithless Austria would never prove true to the compact—she never would resign her absolutist Germanising and centralising designs. Bent as she is on lowering Hungary to the level of her patrimonial dominions, she would act, as she had acted for more than 300 years. Hun gary, instead of peacefully developing the immense resources of the country, and of the genius of its people, and thus becoming an important element in i the progress and the extension of civilisation, would see herself doomed either to national death, or to wasting her strength in ever anew recurring struggles for the maintenance of her laws, her con stitution, her institutions, and her national exist ence. The House of Austria, restored by a transac tion with Hungary to life (which now is fast de parting from her), would continue to oppose the logical consummation of Italian unity and indepen dence ; would embarrass her internal consolidation, and endanger her very existence—she would make a proper solution of the Eastern question impossible, drive the south Sclavonic races into the arms of Russia, defeat by her very existence, as a first-rate Power, every endeavour towards the national unity of Germany ; and thus, standing in the way of the definitive settlement of each and of all those great European questions which in the logical progress of history imperiously claim their solution, Austria would continue to form the great nuisance of Eu rope, rendering peace and settled tranquillity per fectly impossible in the European community ; while the independence of Hungary, by removing that great European nuisance, would for ever secure as well as help to complete Italy—would reduce the Eastern question to the proportion of a mere domes tic one, the ultimate issue of which would turn to the profit of freedom, instead of turning to the pro fit of Russian Panslaveism, and would likewise render the national unity of Germany possible by removing the only obstacle—a powerful polyglot ambitious Austria—which stands in its way. In one word, the independence of Hungary would, by itself, form the surest means for arriving at that settled condition, and that lasting peace in Europe, of which her secured national existence form an indispensable desideratum. This reasoning is founded partly on the sound logic of the situation, partly on the evidence which history presents of the wicked incorrigible charac ter of the House of Austria. But I have a stronger reason still for being ad verse to any imaginable transaction with the Haps burg-Lorraines. It is this, that even supposing that that perjured family could by any possibility change its character and become as honest as it is perverse, and everything that is good, moral, just, and liberal (a thing as impossible as the washing a negro white), still Hungary never could become a uumiLlLuLluuul in the full accept ance of the word, under Austrian rule. I must premise that Hungary never, never, never will consent to be fused in the Austrian Empire; she will never consent to abjure her claim to the position of a nation ; and will never suicide herself for the very questionable pl ensure of serving as an element in the absurd experiment of creating a new nation—the Austrian—which never yet had exist ence, nor ever shall. Some people at Vienna point to the example of Scotland and of Ireland, but the case is entirely different : Scotland gave kings to England, and Ireland was conquered—neither is the case with us. Besides, it should not be over looked that ours is a country larger than Great Britain and Ireland together, or as Prussia, which is numbered amongst the great Powers of Europe, and we are a people of 1 5,000,000; consequently in territorial and populationistical regard, as well as from our geographical position,the natural resources of our country, our history, and the maturity and genius of our people, are in every way entitled to be a nation. Consequently, if Hungary were to remain under Austrian rule, it could only be on the basis of per sonal union (as England and Hanover had been), and as a distinct realm, having its own constitution and Government, and not subject to the Austrian Empire. Well, what would be the result ? I shall answer the question by a simile. Suppose the Queen of England were also Queen of France, and as such would have an army of several hundred thousand men, and a budget of a couple of milliards, not subject to the control of the British Parliament, would it be in the power of that Parlia ment to prevent the Queen, as Queen of France, from pursuing a policy in her foreign relations on the basis of interests and with objects for its aim with which England had absolutely nothing to do. Certainly it would be not in the power of the British Parliament to preyent this. Well, suppose in consequence of that situation and of such policy, the Queen (as Queen of France) would cause her self to be embroiled in wars, a n d thus involved, she would apply to the British Parliament to assist her in defending herself, in what position would Eng land find herself ? She would have only this alter native, either to assist her Queen in a war under taken on grounds foreign to England—may be contrary to her interests—or else abandon her sovereign, which could only be done by renouncing allegiance and resorting to a revolution. Now Hungary, submitting to the rule of the House of Austria, would find herself exactly in the same predicament. Suppose the Emperor of Austria attacked on account of Venice by Italy. The Em peror, being also King of Hungary, would apply to the Hungarian Diet to defend him 'against foreign attack. Could Hungary practically refuse it ? Yes, but only on the condition of renouncing her alle giance, and taking up arms against him, just as we did in 1848. Yes, but no nation on earth can at every moment risk a revolution ; and without a revolution Hun gary could absolutely not escape the dire and shame ful necessity of being made a tool for the Emperor of Austria oppressing any foreign nation which is dear to our heart. So much is, therefore, evident that Hungary could never be truly constitutional—could never pursue the course of an independent national policy —when subject to the rule of a Sovereign who, being likewise the ruler of a distinct empire, as such would have both. interests distinct and con trary to ours, and the means of giving them effect without the control of our Parliament. When the Court of Austria—feigning to return to the constitutional path—convoked the last (now dissolved) Hungarian Diet, I had to consider what course it was incumbent on me to take. I came without any hesitation to the conclusion that, as a faithful servant of my country, I must be led by my nation, and not try to interfere with her decision. Accordingly, I determined to let the Diet take the course it may think best to decide upon, even though it may once more try a conciliation, which, on the ground above stated, I decidedly disapprove. But, while ready to submit to the will of the nation, represented in Parliament, I considered that —though (to my great regret) they might once trying twas not at all mwiotrhe the Mouse i t a r — y g to come to terms cer tain that success will crown their exuberant mode ration ; because on the one hand, I knew that the faithless House of Austria neither was, nor ever will be, sincere in her constitutional affections towards Hungary. On the other hand, I was confi dent that the Hungarian Diet will not allow her self to be taken in by false pretences, and even the most moderate amongst its members will firmly in sist on at least the full and entire restitution of the historical rights and the constitution of the coun try, and not yield a hair's breadth to them. This knowledge and that anticipation led me to think that, leaving the Diet to follow its own course, it was incumbent on me to continue to prepare for the emergency of the Diet failing to arrive at an ami cable settlement, in order that in that case the na tion should not find herself without means and chances to resist force by force. I think, sir, I was doing the duty of a good citizen and of an honest man, in not slackening, on account of the convocation of the Diet, in my endeavours to provide for the said emergency. Here I may as well state the view by which I always was, and shall continue to be, guided, while lam an exile. It is this, that — Should at any time my nation rise in arms against her oppressor, of her own accord, and with out any regard to foreign aid or outward circum stances, I for one will in that case not weigh the chances and prospects, nor will I lose time in pon dering whether or not it was wise to unfurl the banner of national liberty, but alone, or with my sons, or as many of my friends as would follow me, I shall hasten to share in the dangers of my nation, and shall throw myself, as the French say, " tete faissee dans le melee"—come what may—vanquish if we can—die if we must, for country and liberty. But if, on the contrary, my nation should expect me to give the signal, and to strike the first blow, then on me would fall the responsibility of success, as far as it is given to mortal man to be accountable for it ; therefore, however weary I may feel of my homeless life, I never shall allow myself to play wantonly with the blood and with the confidence of my nation, and shall only take upon myself the initiative of the bloody arbitration of the sword in case I can present my nation with such reasonable chances of success that, so far as human prevision can go, victory 4 hould depend on the own determi nation of the nation herself. This may be a course not sufficiently revolu tionary, but it is that of an honest, unambitious heart. I was true to this course under most trying temptations, and shall remain true to it in future likewise—and though discretion forbids me to enter on details, this much I feel at liberty to say, that it is not only the honest sense of duty, but also a cheering prospect of succoss, that confirms me in my determination. _ Well, sir, I daresay the immense majority of my nation is not less desirous than myself of seeing our country freed from the House of Hapsburg-Lor raine; being not less convinced than I am, that Hungary could never be free and happy under the rule of that House. This feeling of the nation was made manifest by the public addresses with which the municipalities of the country vied with each other, in honouring my late lamented friend, Count Ladislaus Teleki, on his involuntary return to his native land; and still more, by the universal grief and profound con sternation into which the nation had been thrown by his untimely, mysterious death. Why was he thus honoured ? why did the nation with such unmistakeable public marks of general confidence assign to him the post of leadership? and whence the deep sorrow, whence the nameless grief at his death ? It is because the nation took him for, In itality was, the i m p ersona ti on o f th ese ten dencies, plans, and hopes with which my exile is identified—because they knew that no man on earth more than he had shared in, and was identified with, my endeavours to free Hungary from the Austrian yoke, and because they knew that his true, chivalric, resolute, patriotic heart would never for a moment swerve from the path which, during the long years of his exile, he had pursued with so much consistency, such patriotic self-abnegation, such untiring zeal, and (as I trust a near future will show) with such advantages to his country. This reputation, so well deserved, had placed him at once at the head of that large party of the Diet— forming, to all appearances, a decided majority in the House of Representatives—who did not think it advisable to engage in any step that might throw open the door to the danger of a possible transac tion with Austria. Teleki died on the eve of the crisis. His lamented death will, I fear, ever remain shrouded in mystery, and it would be useless now to speculate on what would have occurred had the hand of death not de prived his fatherland of his services. The Diet decided on not overpassing the limits of what is called strict legality ! On this field it has performed its duty nobly, manfully. It took its stand on the law; to might it opposed right; to arbitrariness it opposed legality ; but while bidding silence to the indignation caused by present suffer ings, and to the ranklicg recollections of the expe• rience of three centuries, with unexampled self abnegation, it presented the House of Austria with a last chance of saving herself by rendering justice to Hungary. The Diet was too sensible of its patriotic duties to yield one hair's-breadth of the historical rights, laws, and the constitution of the country. Whom God has doomed to perdition, in just re tribution of his crime, depriyee of the gift of corn mon sense. The Court of Vienna, as obstinate in its folly, as criminal in its designs, instead of taking hold of the hand of concilial,don, which, with an over-loyal moderation was held out by the Diet of Hungary, rejected it with insolent pride; and, throwing off the mask of constitutional affectation, first dissolved the Diet arbitrarily, and then pro ceeded on trampling, one by one, on the shattered ruins of the time-honoured institutions ,of the country. With the arbitrary dissolution of the Diet, the first act of the great historical drama, that of " a Constitutional Opposition," was closed. The second act is now going cn, that of " Pas sive Resistance." But why " Passive ?" why not Active Resist ance ?" since never in the w)aolc history of nations was there a case, when the taking up arms, and the repelling force by force, could appear better justified and more legitimate. It is, sir, because the Hungarian nation is too wise not to bide its time, and feels too sure of its own resolution, to compromise success by improvi dent precipitation. No man in his senses can doubt of the fact, that the imperative logic of the Italian question infal libly points to the necessity of a war, in no distant time, on the part of Italy against Austria. For that emergency, I consider Italy and Hungary as constituting the two wings of one and the same army, which, if` combined in their operation, will make Victory pretty well sure ; whereas, should Hungary, yielding to legitimate impatience, engage in the struggle single-handed and alone, while Italy is not yet prepared to join in it, it would be as much as giving the chance to the enemy to beat.,us in detail. Therefore regard both to the safety of our own country and to that of our brethren, the Italians, advises Hungary to bide the proper time for a final decision of the pending crisis. Hence you see Hungary restricting herself to the trialsome task of passive resistance. You see her submitting to the sufferings of this painful task, with that calm spirit of resigned self sacrifice which faith in the ultimate triumph of a just cause can alone inspire, but also with that in domitable energy which has won for my country the good opinion of the civilised world. But passive resistance can neither last for ever (it would be death by exinanition), nor is it an aim in itself, it is only a means. What can be its aim Of two things —one, either suffer and amidst suf ferings prepare, till a good opportunity offers itself for taking up arms; or else suffer till Austria, ex hausted financially, and overpowered by increasing difficulties, shall find herself compelled to yield and grant what she has now refused. There is no third alternative possible. I am, of course, for the first alternative, and shall continue to act in that direction ; but the question is, What will the nation do ? They may, to a great extent, depend on the encouragement or discourage ment she may get from abroad. If she see that Italy is successfully overcoming the difficulties that are lying on her onward road ; if she sees that Austria has no prospect of any aid from any foreign Power, be sure of it Hungary will indignantly reject the treacherous hand that Aus tria will not fail to hold out to her at the eleventh hour. If, on the contrary, she should see that Italy is retrograding instead of advancing; and if she sees that Austria may hope to get assistance, for instance from England, why in the long run she might de spair, and suicide herself by accepting a transaction —a compromise. Let every true friend of freedom in England and Scotland assist me in averting this danger ; bear in mind the decidedly hostile attitude of your pro-Aus trian Government towards Hungary, and the en couragement the Government received in its lament able course from the unaccountably passive indif ference of the British people until now; think of the agitation Mr. Roebuck is engaged in, of the shameful apostacy of Southampton, and of the fuss made about it in the Austrian papers, as an in dication of an alliance between Britain and Austria being in prospect. Verily ! verily ! I say it is high time—nay, a duty of national honour—for the British people to speak out. For the rest, I may as well remark that the course Hungary is likely to decide upon will more parti cularly depend on Italy. I have no hesitation in acknowledging that, for reasons I am not wanted to enter upon now, we stand in need of Italy ; but, on the other hand, I dare say the co-operation of Hun gary is equally necessary, nay indispensable to Italy. The 15 millions of Hungary, not only taken away from the forces of the enemy, but also added to the forces of Italy, make a difference of 30 millions in the chances of success, which is even morn than the whole of Italy were she united—which she not yet is. The leading statesmen of Italy ought well to consider that it is not a matter of sympathy or of fraternal benevolence, but one of vital national in terest, for the Italian nation not to risk to lose the co-operation of Hungary. In my opinion, there is scarcely any greater fault in politics than not to - know to class the different exigencies of the situa tion according to their importance, and really I think there is no success imaginable in any other task incumbent on the Italian Government which could be thought a compensation for the possible loss of the co-operation of Hungary in the last in evitable struggle, on the result of which depends not only that which is yet wanting to complete the unity and independence of Italy, but also the safety of all that has been already achieved. It is easy to say, "Lot Hungary keep things in suspense—let her wait until Italy can get rid of other matters she has on hand." The fact is, that Hungary cannot wait long. The crisis there is insupportable, and it is not given to human povter to prolong a crisis in definitely, So or so, it must come to an end. Let the leading statesmen of Italy take care that Hun gary should not find reason to lose her confidence in the progress and vitality of the Italian cause. Let them take care how they gave time to Austria to paralyse Hungary, and by maiming, not her resolu tion, but her power of resistance, force her into some artful net of compromise. The consequences would be incalculable to the future of Italy. What would Ita lians say if the Hungarian nation were to shape her course exclusively on the ground of isolated domes tic considerations, without any regard to the affairs of Italy This, sir, is a grave consideration, and the regards of high policy which Hungary is pay ing to the position of the Italian Peninsula ought to be reciprocated by Italy. It should be borne in mind that -if Italy allows herself to be absorbed by ' minor domestic matters, and pays no regard to the critical position of Hungary, she risks to lose her by too much delay; and, by losing her, will en danger the future of Italy herself. There may have been logic in the plan to take Naples first, Rome next, and Venice last. However, be the causes what they may, the fact is that this plan has so far proved a failure, that the Italian question, instead of advancing, has retrograded, and that Italy this day is weaker for a war against Austria than she was six months, or even a year ago. Then, why not reverse the plan ? One ought never to change aim ; but one ought to conform one's means to cir cumstances. Consistency is one thing—rigid ad herence to one's means is another, There is, in my opinion, no merit of consistency in risking to en danger the aim, by too rigidly adhering to an un availing plan. Therefore, I again ask, Why not change the plan, and take Venice in hand ? To il the co-operation of Hungary is certain ; who could tell what will be the case in six months And if " Dam Roma deliberat &guilty??? peril"- -if Hungary is lost in the meantime, will the forces that may be drawn from Naples prove a compensation for the loss of the co-operation of Hungary ? Naples and Rome will not give Venice to Italy if Hungary is lost ; but two simultaneous battles gained on the Po and the Danube would at once solve the question of Venice, and that of Naples and Rome too.

However, it appears that the goods train . was running into Hereford, and that the engine had Just got off the Worcester line on to the Shrewsbury and Hereford line, when the engine of the passenger train ran into the tender of the goods train with a considerable shock. The passengers were thrown together and against the sides of the carriages with much violence, and several of them very much bruised and cut in different parts of the body, though happily, we believe, no bones were broken. They were promptly attended to, and the greater part of them proceeded on their journey, as soon as the line was cleared, which was effected tra i n s bo u t two or three hours. Some of the goods trucks were knocked off the rails, and the l ine was blocked up for a short time. The officials of the West Midland Company have arrived here to-day to make the necessary investi gation into the cause of the collision.
