Yesterday the Hungarian Diet assembled to hear the reply of their CHARLES STUART to their decla ration of rights. In the Upper House but few were present; the Lower House was crowded. We wait, of course, the arrival of the entire Rescript, with Hungarian criticisms, before we can venture to pronounce a very decided opinion. The tele graph gives, ns, however, quite sufficient to show that fraud, doubtless to be backed, if circumstances permit, by violence, are the characteristics of this document. The Hungarians cannot accept it. If they do they will forfeit the respect of free Europe; and, what is worse, will surrender their venerable and real constitution for a German paper one. It opens with a lie; or if it be not a lie, with an assertion that the HAPSBITRGS have been guilty of demonstrable perjury and violence towards Hun gary ; and that they now seek to build on the foundation of their own infamy. M. DEAR skewed to the satisfaction of the civilisei world, what every smatterer in the history of Hungary knew before, that the union between Hungary and the rest of the Austrian Empire was always a purely personal one. That every part of the administration —foreign as well as domestic, military as well as financial, was distinct and national. The EMPEROR is made to say, " for three centuries, so far as war, finance, and foreign affairs are con cerned, the de facto union has been a real one." Now, every treaty with the Emperor of AUSTRIA has acknowledged him as King of Hungary only on conditions the very reverse of this statement. So far, therefore, as it is true, it can be only at the expense of convicting the HAPSBURGS of treachery —of violating, indeed, the most solemn oaths. It is true, doubtless, that from the days of MARIA THERESA to the present time this ungenerous, des potic, and cruel dynasty hare tried to make the union a real one. The history of their aggressions on Hungarian rights would fill a large space in Hungarian history; but the termination of all these outrages has been a fresh treaty, in which the vanquished dynasty has, been too generously forgiven by the noble and generous people ; and when they wculd have done more wisely to have erected a scaffold for a traitor monarch, they have condoned the crimes of an incurable family. Neither de facto, therefore, any more than de jure, can the dynasty which owes its Hungarian throne to the pragmatic sanction, pretend th a t H ungary has ever submitted to an amalgamation of its war, finance, and foreign administration with that of Austria. Any de facto amalgamation, therefor e , which the Government of Vienna can appeal to gives precisely the same title as de facto possession of stolen goods gives to the thief each act of forcible amalgamation having been terminated by the trial, and conviction on his own plea of guilty, of the HAPSBURG offender. The EMPEROR is willing enough to reject amal gamation in the municipal sense. Hungary may be, if it pleases, a self-administered county of the Austrian empire. This he would dignify with the name of National Government, and be willingly, on these terms, King of HUNGARY. But the idea is cbildEsh. The Hungarians are not such poli- tical babes as to need such Austrian milk as this. It is the Germans who are in the baby hood of political knowledge and of consti tutional government. The Hungarians have been as familiar as Englishmen from time im memorial, with all the usages and sentiments essential to Constitutional Government. Their present firmness, self-command, and respect for a strictly legal course, show how • thoroughly they ire imbued with the principle that liberty depends cm rigorous adherence to existing law ; and the in2Provercent of liberty, on making the improve ment 1 1 strictly legal means. Not the an c i en t Romans nor the mo d ern English have shown a more law-loving spirit than the Hungarians.

One would have thought that a crime, which the wickedness of NICHOLAS of Russia alone rendered successful, could never have been adverted to, for shame's sake, by the HAPS BURGS. This allusion alone renders the whole paper well deserving of being suspended from a gallows at Arad, and then burnt by the hangman, to expiate, were it possible, the holy blood shed there by the wretches who are hardened enough to advert now to those days of their darkest crimes. We shall, however, say no more at present. We shall proba bly soon see how M. PEAK will tear to pieces the statements of this shameless document. We only hope that Hungary will be firm under all provo cations. Contrary to the wise rules and regulations of Parliament, the Marquis of NORMANBY, last even ing, replied, in the House of Lords, to a speech delivered several months back in the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. This proceeding is quite obviously , upon the face of it, not only in violation of the etiquette of the legislature, but in opposition to all the ordinary dictates of justice, and even, we would venture to say, of delicacy. A long while has elapsed since Mr. GLADSTONE, in the Commons, commented in severe terms upon certain acts of the ex-Duke of MODENA—upon the strength of accusations brought against that dethroned Prince originally, not by Mr. GLADSTONE himself, or by any other English Statesman viewing those events in Italy from 'a distance, but there, on the very spot itself, in the little capital of Modena, by the Provisional Government ! The charges preferred against the ex-Duke were in themselves sufficiently explicit and categorical. The Provisional Government gave names and dates—while making these accusations —with the utmost precision and exactitude. There was nothing vague, nothing generalised, nothing in the way of merely "hinting a fault," or simply " hesitating dislike" in all that was said about the ex-Sovereign-Prince of MODENA by his victorious successors the members of the Provisional Govern ment. Our English Chancellor of the Exchequer, therefore, in speaking as he did—months ago—was speaking of events and persons, that were subjects notorious, at the time of his speaking, among all the politicians of Christendom. Furthermore, it should be remembered that in talking of those events and of those persons as he did, Mr. GLADSTONE spoke from no obscure rostrum in no very:secluded arena. He spoke from his place upon the floor of the House of Commons, upon the right hand of Mr. SPEAKER, between the table and the front Treasury bench, standing there, amongst his friends and col leagues, the members of her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government. The Chancellor of the Exchequer thus simply echoed the accusations preferred against the ex-Duke by the newly installed Provisional Govern ment of Modena—not from any personal feelings of antipathy or irritation, but in his public and official capacity as one of the first of our English, as one of the foremost of all European, Statesmen. Several months, as already observed, have now been allowed to glide by before the charges alleged by Mr. GLADSTONE are formally contradicted by any one in either House of Parliament. All this while, however, we are now led to presume, the Marquis of NORMANBY—sometime her MAJESTY'S diplomatic representative at the late court of Tuscany, once upon a time the popular Lord-Lieutenant of Ire land, repeatedly installed in high positiOns as a distinguished liberal statesman, diplomatist, and administrator ! [Nothing of all this now, however, but simply as one may say the self-elected advocate of certain exiled dynasties, the volunteer champion of this or that moribund or dead-and-buried Government]—the Marquis of NORMANBY (of all people in the world !), we are now led to suppose, has been " nursing his wrath to keep it warm," in order that when a sufficient length of time had elapsed he might uncork the last vial of it and dribble out its contents upon the devoted head of Mr. GLADSTONE! It is a melancholy incident in every point of view—and as completed last night in the House of Lords it must certainly be allowed to have been a most melancholy exhibition. True, the noble Marquis enjoyed the gratification of finding himself counte nanced by the noble Earl, the leader of the Oppo sition. But otherwise than in that one remarkable particular, nothing very advantageous either for Lord NORMANDY himself, or for his royal client the ex-Duke of MODENA can be said to have resulted from last night's discussion about these imputed perversions of truth by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The late Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs —Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs no longer, simply because of the approaching elevation from the Lower to the Upper House of the Secretary of State for the Foreign Department— Lord WODEHOUSE, ex-Under-Secretary, refuted the lengthy, not to say, tedious arguments of Lord NORMANBY as completely as could well be. Not only was it thus yesterday in the House of Peers before the close of Lord NORMANBY'S elabo rately prepared statement. Bat so soon as the Earl of DERBY in his turn completed his arguments in support of Lord NORMANBY'S allegations, the Noble Earl, the President of the Council, the Earl GRANVILLE enforced one by one the various remark able counter-statements previously adventured upon by LordWODEHOUSE, the venerableLordßßOUGHAM " follows suit"—though in a more sprightly strain, be it said, in furtherance of the self-same argument —that formidable argument first of all ennun ciated months ago in the other house by the offer ironical Chancellor o f the Exchequer. Well might Lord BuoUGHAIItO su t g h g e estie e n x -D t u h k a e t of MODENA the his highness should repeat (with bitt er reason in deed)"coavn takeerb' Sav e me from care o f m y se lf ! " the old enemies,Spanish proverb, r my F fr o je r n t cl h s e ; nl h Y o l e purport of the defence set up for the ex-Duke b y his vindicator in the English House of Lords—the Marquis of NORMANBY--Inay b e summed un in the boast that the outgoing Govern ment left, in the local archives, no papers calculated in any way to criminate themselves ! A declara tion that, as Lord BROUGHAM admits, with a certain scorn, is, in all probability, perfectly true. Yet, says the noble and yearned lord, if such a line of argument were re^S‘ and truly the one adopted by the advocates of the ex-Duke, that unhappy personage might well in coming to their lordships' house pray for a gocd deliverance not merely from his arch-accuser, Mr. GLADSTONE, but from his arch-friend, the Marquis of NORMANBV. Nothing could be fairer, however, than the resume given last cvcning in the House of 'Peers by Lord BROUGHAM in reference to the course recently purstied by Mr. GLADSTONE itt re ,gard to those very accusations of . his against the ex-Duke of MoDF.Na, accusations in respect to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been so loudly villified and vitaperatetl. The explanation or resume of facts, as given yesterday by Lord BROUGHAM, is in itself AO interesting both as regard s Lord BROUGHAM himself and Mr. GLADSTONE, that we give the ' whole of the passage here referred to, as it fell last night from the lips of the venerable ex-Chan cellor :—" Then it was laid to Mr. GLADSTONE'S charge," said Lord BROUGHAM, " that he did not sufficiently retract, when he found he had been mistaken. But Mr. GLADSTONE, in the House of Commons—in the very place where the charge was made—did expressly state that he had been mis informed, partly by the inference which he had drawn, and partly by the information he had re ceived.He (Lord BROUGHAM) did no t h a pp en t o b e t in the House of Commons wh en Mr. GLAD presen S TONE'S speech was made. He should always be glad to be there when so great a speaker, so bril liant and so excellent an orator, as Mr. GLADSTONE was to be heard. But it so happened that for the last 31 years he had not crossed the threshold of the House of Commons except twice; upon one occasion to hear Mr. GLADSTONE speak, about a year ago; and again the other night, to hear his noble friend the noble viscount explain the in tentions of the Government with respect to their lordships amendments of the Bank ruptcy Bill. It was said to Mr. GLADSTONE, " Why do you not retract ?" He (Lord BROUGHAM) said, Mr. GLADSTONE did retract, ac cording to the information he had received from those who heard him. Then with respect to the book, Mr. GLADSTONE'S statement proceeded upon doeuments published by the provisional de facto Government of Modena ; and the book had now been for upwards of twelve months exposed to sale. But it appeared that there were two persons to whom it was inaccessible. The Duke of Modena could not by any means obtain a sight of this book, and it also appeared that the noble maquis could not obtain a sight of it. Pro bably they were the only persons who laboured under this difficulty ; and had not been able to see the book in question, Mr. GLADSTONE had the au thority of the Government for the statement : and then, said his noble friend, How can you tell that these documents are not forgeries ?' But, said Mr. GLADSTONE, How can you tell that they are ?' Nobody affected to believe they were forgeries ; for anything that appealed they were authentic ; and therefore Mr. GLADSTONE'S defence was complete." So much first of all for Lord NORMANEY'S defence of the ex-Duke of MODENA, and secondly, for Lord BROUGHAM'S vindication of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. But we have not yet heard the last of it. Lord NORMANBY still insists upon having the papers he asked for ineffectually yesterday. So that the noble Marquis will posi tively, he tells us, on Friday next again move for their production ! Mr. JOHN CHARLESWORTH DODGSON CHARLES WORTH has been convicted at last. Unlucky man ! Why did the fates make him a victim, for as such all his countrymen regard him. The laws regula ting elections have, by the help of both Whigs and Tories, been purposely constructed to facilitate the commission of bribery, while they are to present tho appearance of obstructing it. They are con trived much as a park fence would be, if built by a set of hands, several of whom were first-rate old poachers, who would, of course, be sure to leave certain places, not easy to be seen by the unprac tised eye, among the bushes and herbage, where they could advantageously set their nets and snares. So, by the confession of Sir W. HATTER himself, the Corrupt Practices at Elections Act was meant only to be laughed at by the knowing ones employed in its concoction. Bribery, where there was plenty of money on the candidate'spart,and easy electoral virtue on that of the constituency, was understood to be quite a matter of course. Like some other vices it was not in the presence of " Society," to be charged directly on any gentleman. It was only to be taken for granted, winked at ; and as a weakness common to humanity not to be noticed unless some special bad luck made the case too flagrant. Mr. LEATHAM and Mr. CHARLESIVORTH have both been caught. We appeal to our readers whether the common feeling amongst them is not —"rather hard upon them that." Some perhaps will think that they half deserved it, not because of the vice or crime, but because one party was so foolish as to petition against the other, and the other so foolish as to defend his election Knowing as both did that the water was so muddy, why did the CHARLESWORTMANS stir the puddle; and if they were so mad, why did the LEATHAMITES let a House of Commons Committee have the chance of setting a commission to throw out all the mud to the gaze of passers by. We confess it does seem to have been the height of folly for such delinquents to have attacked and defended; but no doubt they calculated on the usual course. They thought the committee would wink hard at the facts ; would at worst unseat a member and get another election, and not add the fatal clause in their report which would set the commission scavengers to work. As it happened, they were mistaken in this case. A case not one whit worse than others, than Norwich for instance, in which, nevertheless, every body, members included, were innocent, though the grossness of the bribery could not be surpassed. But Norwich was lucky. Wakefield unlucky. Else , who will assert that Lord BURL and Mr. SCHNEIDER might not have been in the same position as the Wakefield candidates ? A contemporary is pleased and hopeful because the ruling of the judge to consider the deposit of a sum of money much larger than the legal expenses of the election would require, as strong presump tive evidence against the accused, will make the present law a little more effectual. We wish we could think so. It will merely suggest greater ingenuity and caution in furnishing the money. We believe we could ourselves suggest half-a-dozen ways quickly, in which, if the money was provided, it could be at the service of the bribing subordi nates without the possibility of tracing it. The truth is, bribers and bribed will always be con sidered unlucky if caught; but, not more guilty than hundreds of their neighbours, or scores of honour able members, till the House of Commons seriously legislates against both bribery and.undue influence. While it is pretty safely believed that numbers of members for boroughs have, more or less, been pur chasers of seats—while it is certain that the vast majority of the Tory county members sit in tho House by the heartless, base bribery of unfair hold on the fears of tenant farm ers, no one can help in dulging something like commiseration for the Convicted. The county influence and the bribery are both of them detestable, unmanly, depraving to the elector and to the candidates who traffic in the cupidity or the fears of electors. But the House of Commons i 9, as a kind of Corporation, t oo thoroughly corrupted on these points to " ca ll , spade a spade." It is steeped ie electoral hypocrisy. It assumes the garb of a purely-elecled body; yet it knows that, perhaps, not one sixth of its number arc returned by the flee, un , - bought, or not unfairly influenced votes of its con stituents. The House of Commons knows well that the simple honest expedient of the Ballot would do more than all their contemptible Acts on' E lections, to secure electoral purity, and in countie VOTE BY BALLOT AND THE CITY ELECTION.— The committee of the Ballot Society have put out an ad dress strongly recommending Mr. Western Wood to the electors. Mr. Wood has promised to support the ballot in Parliament. The treaties of commerce lately concluded be tween France and England, and between France and Bel gium, have given some animation to the silk-markets in the southern departments. Large quantities of raw silk were sold at the last markets of "Valence and Romans at from 60f. to 65f. the kilogramme for superior, and at from 40f. to 50f. for ordinary samples. Superfine quality was sold at from 70f. to 72f. the kilogramme; second, 65f. to 68f. ; third, 50f. to 60f. In the Ardeche the best quality is worth from 72f. to 75f.; ordinary, 60f., 65f., and 70f. These treaties have produced a remarkable effect on the fair of Beaucaire, which had considerably fallen off; but is now recovering its ancient prosperity. It is expected that the silk trade in France will be considerably improved by a new silkworm introduced some time since by 31. Guerin Mene • ville. This silkworm lives in the open air on a very hardy plant called the " ailante," or Japan varnish tree. It pro duces two crops a year of a strong silky fibre employed in China to make clothes for a great portion of the population. The new silkworms have been reared in various parts of the south of France with perfect success. More than three fourths of the worms produced excellent cocoons, although the atmosphere was unfavourable. It is now ascertained that the new worm gives a profit of cent. for cent. on the orpital employed. The silk of the ailante worm differs essentially from that of the mulberry worm. It is of an inferior quality, well adapted for coarse fabrics, but it never can compete with the silk used by the manufacturers of Lyons. It is expected that the new silk will form an ex cellent substitute for cotton, of which France annually im ports 69,504,000 kilogrammes. SILVER COIN IN PARIS.—The Bulletin de Paris explains in the following terms the sudden re-appearance of large amounts of silver coin in Paris and other great towns of France :—" During the monetary crisis which prevailed some three years ago, the Bank of France pur chased all the slyer it could obtain, both in France and abroad. It was, indeed, at one moment so overstocked with silver as to have r eason to fear the necessity of touch ing its reserve. It then made an arrangement with the Bank of England to deposit with it 50,000,000 of silver, to receive in return a similar sum in gold. That contract was scarcely concluded when the news arrived that the war with China was ended, and the crisis in the United States took place. Gold was wanted for America and also for Italy, and the Bank employed that which it had pro cured. Meanwhile, China instead of drawing silver from Europe as previously, sent us considerable quantities in payment of the war indemnity. On the other hand, the expedition to Syria was drawing to a close, so that at the same time the demand for silver ceased and the demand for gold became more active; and this occurred at the very moment when the Bank of France was taking back the silver it had deposited with the Bank of England. Thus the metalde crisis caused by the scarcity of silver money now threatens to recur through the scarcity of gold coin. But on this side the danger is less great, owing to the im mense quantity of gold coined of late in all the mints of Europe. Gold will continue in circulation on account of its small volume and relatively high value. It is a certain fact that the very persons who but yesterday complained of the scarcity of silver coin are now greatly annoyed at having to receive a heavy bag of 1,000 francs in silver in stead of a convenient roll of Napoleons. If Lycurgus re turned to this lower world, he would find people just as reluctant to use his cumbersome money as to live on his disagreeable black broth." FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday a frightful acci dent occurred in Eaton-square, resulting in the death, under deplorable circumstances, of a young lady named Jane Ann Cooper, 19 years of age, who had resided at 114, Warwick street, Pimlico. About midday she was seen riding through the square at an alarming speed, the horse she rode being apparently beyond her control. A man in charge of the bar at one of the outlets from the square, seeing her . coming towards that point, and believing the horse had run away with her, closed the barrier. On approaching it, the horse turned abruptly round, and the unfortunate lady was thrown from her scat. She fell with terrific violence upon the iron palisades of the square and received such frightful injuries that she died almost instantly. Some people who had seen the accident had her immediately conveyed in a cab to St. George's Ifospital,!close by, but she died before arriving there. The body was seen, in a few moments after being taken to the hospital, by Mr. Lee, the house surgeon, and Mr. Hesvott,one of the principal medical officers. Itwas found t o have sustained a dreadful spike wound in the left groin, and others an the forehead, just over the leireye, and on the left side of the face. The remains, which were those of a young woman of great personal attractions, were recog nised by a relative in the course of the day, and a telegra- Phia message was set t to Bristol to ber father, apprising, him of the I "mentible circumstance. Others of her friends visited the hespital in the course of yesterday and saw the body, which lies there, awaiting a coroner's invest, which errobably be held to-day or to •morrow. NoT PARTIDULan.

A Con3istoty will be held to-morrow, at which the Pope wiii pronounce an Allocution, proclaiming 15 new bishops, namely, six French, two Spanish, and seven South American. His Holiness is enjoying perfect health. The French Government has lodged a complaint with the Papal Government against the Bishop of Poitiers, for having, in the Allocution which he pronounced in his church, on St. Peter's Day, made offensive allusions to the Emperor Napoleon, designating him Herod 111. The Pope has received fresh assurances that the French army will remain at Rome. General Goyon has broken off all official relations with Mgr. de Merode. WARSAW, JULY 21. Great crowds of people assembled to-day before the residence of the English Consul and deposited bouquets of flowers, amid shouts of "Long live Queen Victoria." These bouquets are offered to the British nation as a grateful acknowledgment of its sympathy for Poland. The police made their appearance after the crowds had dispersed. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 23. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Tagus, Captain Hall, with the above mails in charge of Commander Field, R.N., has arrived. She brings 32 passengers, 4 packages of specie, value £1,165 ; also 146 boxes eggs, 386 half chests lemons, 63 boxes tomatoes, 52 boxes green fruit, 41 boxes onions, and 22 packages sundries. From Lisbon to Cape Finisterre the Tagus ex perienced strong N. winds and fine weather; across the bay W.S.W. winds and thick hazy weather; up channel the latter part a strong S.E. gale, with thick weather.

EXPORTS FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM. A statement lately published of the value of the exports from the 12 principal ports of the United Kingdom during the past year shows the relative progress or retrogression in the trade of each. The aggregate increase is 4 per cent. over 1859, but some ports figure for a more considerable augmen tation, and others exhibit a falling off. The export trade of London presents an increase of 1 per cent.; Liverpool, 41 ; Hull, 111; Bristol, 7*; Southamp ton, fit ; Leith, 18 ; and Glasgow, 1. Newcastle has been stationary. The ports that show a dimi nution are—Dublin, 24 per cent.; Cork, 181. ; Greenock, 48 ; and Belfast, 92. The totals of the two latter, however, in 1859 were exceptionally heavy, and the present falling off is merely a return to about their ordinary amount.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STR,—The unrevised numbers of the population enumerated at the late Census have already been published in your columns for England and Ireland, and those for Scotland having just been ascertained by the officials at Edinburgh, the result for the entire country may now be stated. The total num ber of inhabitants of the United Kingdom, includ ing the islands in the British seas, may be set down as not less than 29.031,164. Of these 20,061,725 were numbered in England and Wales, 3,061,117 in Scotland, 5,704,543 in Ireland, and 143,779 in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man. The army serving abroad and in Ireland and the navy and merchant seamen absent at sea are not included. In Ireland an unparalleled emigration, continued from the pc riod of the failure of the potato crop in that country, has diminished the population by 787,842 persons, or 12 per cent., exactly the decen nial rate of increase in England, since the census of 1851. According to the returns, 1,230,986 Irish and 823,837 natives of Great Britain emigrated in the decade. Notwithstanding this exodus and other circumstances calculated to retard the rate of in crease, such as the Russian war, an epidemic of cholera, the Sepoy mutiny, commercial crisis, and the strikes, we have a solid addition of more than a million and a half to the population of the United Kingdom—a fact sufficiently significant of the perennial vigour and progress of the country.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES T, HAMMACK. 6, Craig's-court, S.W., July 22.

It is further reported that the project was rejected. The Patriotic Society is still continuing to hold its meetings for the purpose of political agitation.

PESTH, JULY 122, AFTERNOON. The Royal Rescript in reply to, the address of the Hungarian Diet was react to-day in the Lower House, and was listened to with manifest impa tience. The house was crowded with members. A resolution was passed ordering the Rescript to be • ' • printed. The Upper House having assembled the Royal Rescript was read amid profound silence. Only a few members were present. The Rescript com mences .by stating that the relation of Hungary to the whed monarchy is, and . for"three centuries has been, de facto a real union in as far as war, finance, and foreign affairs are concerned; and that when the constitution was granted to the country the con stitutional necessities of the • whole monarch were naturally taken into Consideratio n . • The independent internal administration of Hun gary, it says, is not thereby' en:dangered, but on the contrary, will be strengthened.• The laws of 1848 cannot be re-established, became they are incom p4tNe with the present Constitution. The Diet is requested to proceed to a revision of these law's, to send represenatii , es . to the Council of the Empire in time to take part in the financial discussions which will come en in'August next, to come to an understanding with the Croatian Diet in reference to the relation of Croatia to Hungary, and finally to draw up a law relative to the use of the national language and the development of the non-Hungarian inhabitants. " The Rescript declares the union of Hungary with Transylvania ,to be for, the present impracticable, and says :—" The affairs of Servia shall be arranged on the basis of the Resolutions of the Servian National Congress." In conclusion, the lescript guarantees an amnesty on the occasion of the coronation of Francis ?rcseph. as King of Hungary. , The following is the text.of the most important part ethis document : • The Pragmatic Sanction-formerly sought to promote union and good' understanding between Hungary and the other eountries of the monarchy. The patent of October extended the constitutional infittencenveta large nt.unher of questions. H u n gar y will henceiorth be governed according to its ancient constitution, alike in form, system, and men. The . Eo3peror 'rejects the idea of. an amalgamation, but grants an internal autonomous adthinistration, and ' at the same time, dynistie, military, diplomatic, ana financial unity with the rest of the empire. A purely personal unity was the idea of 1848, Six months after the promulgation of these laws civil war broke out, and led to the total overthrow of the • constitution, The Emperor . will spontaneously resters the'Hungarian .constitution of the 20th of October under thcr - conlitions necessary to the deVelopinant of the whole empire. The King recognizes the laws of 1848 concerning the :aboli tion of the privileges of the nobles, of corvees and feudal burdenS, general admissibility to. public employments and to the possession of landed property, that relating to the equity of taxa tion and recruiting, and, lastly; that relating to the electoral .rights.of the lower classes ; hut- he cannot sanction the laws of 1848 hostila to the right s of • the non-Magyar population of the Hungaria4couti tries and to the Pragmatic ganction, which must be modified before negotiations are entered into on the coronation diploma. The Diet is requested to be stow its attention upon this revision, it is besides requested to bestow its attention upon the mode of electing deputies to the Council of the Empire, ac cording to the fundamental law of the 26th of Feb ruary, and to send provisionally Deputies to the present sittings of the Council of the Empire, in order to protect the influence of the country upon the general affairs which are to be debated and set tled in the course of August. The union of Hun gary and of Transylvania, determined upon in 1848 without the consent of the Romans and of the Saxons, and in opposition to their wishes, fell to pieces almost immediately. It is necessary, therefore, now to re establish in the first place the general representa tion of Transylvania. The relations of Croatia with Hungary can only be resolved by an understanding with the Croatian Diet. The Hungarian Diet is summoned to devote its attention to those conditions, the basis of which are the internal self-government of Croatia, and its position towards the general Em pire, in accordance with the Federal union between it and Hungary. It is summoned to take the ini tiative of a law guaranteeing the rights of the non- Magyar inhabitants of Hungary. The Emperor reserves the initiative concerning the rights of the Serbs on the basis of the wishes of their National Congress. The abdication of the Emperor Ferdinand alluded distinctly to all the kingdoms comprised in the Empire of Austria,' any further document would be superfluous. On the occasion of the coro nation the King will keep in view the wish ex pressed that he should pardon political offenders. He awaits the assembling of the Diet for the legal settlement of the points indicated. In the mean while the laws connected with finance will remain in force." SAN DOMINGO. The news from Hayti and San Domingo which arrived by the last mail gives a complete contradic tion to the Madrid journals, which had announced that the Haytian Government had attacked the neighbouring Spanish possessions. The truth is that an insurrection has broken out in the Spanish provinces on the borders of the Haytian Republic, and the Dominicans who had taken refuge on the territory of Hayti were called to their aid. The latter, in number about 200, crossed the frontier, under the command of Cabral and other officers who had been banished by Santana. They had already gained possession of some important points, but on the approach of Spanish troops sent against them they recrossed the frontier without risking a battle. A body of from 2,000 to 3,000 Dominicans followed them in order to escape the vengeance of Santana. The Haytian Government has remained completely aloof from the movement, and has con fined itself to giving refuge to the insurgents who entered its territory, as the laws of humanity and the rules followed by all civilised nations made it a duty for them to do, Far from wishing to assume an attitude hostile to Spain, President Geffrard is disposed to keep up friendly relations. THE BOMBAY MAIL. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have received files of papers from Bombay to the 27th of June, and Calcutta papers to the 16th of June. We take the following summary of news from the Bombay Gazette of the 27th of June : The English mail of the 3d of June arrived in Bombay on the 24th of June. Rain has been general and abundant over nearly the whole of the famine district. Intelligence from the very heart of the district states that the vil lagers seem cheerful, and every bullock and plough has been brought into requisition. The Famine Relief Committee at Lahore have re solved to remit 11 lac of rupees in equal proportions to Delhi, Hissar, and Cis-Sutlej, for the purchase of cattle and seed grain. Colonel Baird Smith, commissioned on the special duty, has published his report on the famine defin ing its boundaries, and reviewing the system of relief. By relief houses, relief works, and employ ment of ordinary public works, not fewer than half n million of tho population huvc hoen dirsotl:- bcac fited. The spontaneous relief sought in emigration has influenced nearly half a million more. Many tribes have struggled on without accepting other relief than that from public demands on account of land revenue. The whole body of sufferers can scarcely be less than from one and a quarter to one and a half millions. Our Finance Minister, Mr. Laing, left Calcutta on the 9th inst. in the . mail steamer for England on sick leave. It is believed that his labours in this country are at an end. The report of the Director of Public Instruction in the Bombay Presidency for 1859-60 has just been published. Under the present Educational Administration the number of schools has increased from 29 in 1855 to 761 in 1860; and the number of pupils from 23,681 to - 47,166. This marvellous increase has been made under ahnost every possible disadvantage. A proposal of the Great Indian Peninsula Rail way Company,to have a line surveyed for a railway from Sholapore to Hyderabad, has received the sanction of the Bombay Government; and a refe rence to the Secretary of State for India will be made by this mail for the purpose of obtaining guaranteed interest at 5 per cent. , The annual report of operations on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway for 1860-61 shows that the total receipts for passengers and goods were 11,04,548 r. from January to June, 1860; and 10,39,023 r. from July to December, 1860—the former amount on 329,174 miles run, and the latter on 318,551 miles. The expenditure from January to June, 1860, was 6,50,801 r., and for the latter half-year 6,46,099 r. The percentage of expenditure on gross receipts was 58.92 and 62.18 for the two half-years respectively; the gross cost of open line being £2,523,711 and £1,554,214 respectively. The net revenue for the two half-years was 4,53,746 r. (X 41,593) and 3,96,923 r. (X 36,018) respectively,— the equivalent to—per cent. per annum, being £3-5-11 and £2-15-9 respectively. The annual report of operations on the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway shows the re ceipts for the year from passengers to be 51,033 r. ; from goods, 5,314 r.; the number of passenger miles run was 27,578, and no goods miles, as there is no goods traffic on this railway. The total expendi ture was 46,558 r., and percentage expenditure on gross receipts was 70.97 ; the net revenue was 19,790 r., or £1,813, being equivalent to 0.61 per cent. per annum. Thu Nawab of Furruckabad, an arch rebel against the British Indian Government, and exiled to Mecca for his rebellion, is producing a great impression on the pilgrims by prophesying that in five years the empire of India will be regained by the Moslem. BOMBAY.—The rainy season is progressing very favourably. We have had in Bombay upwards of 20 inches. The season set in very quietly—we had no thunder and lightning. The amount of income-tax collected by the Com missioner for the town and island of Bombay is 3t lacs ; that collected by the Special Commissioner is 3 lacs; making in all 61- lacs, £65,000, which is half the estimated sum for Bombay. Arrangements will soon be completed for the transfer to the Bank of Bombay of the business of the General Treasury, and the circulation of the Government paper currency. The health of the city and islan d is considerabl y better than the average of th e p ast ten years a t this season.
