T H E LIVINGSTONES. A STORY OF REAL LIFE. " An I'V:cresting, varied, and instructive narrative, written In a fascinating style. Grace Livingstone, the heroine of this beautiful and instructive history, is a truly poetic conception of all that is lovely in woman both in person and mind." —Britannia. " Great freshness of matter is the characteristic of this novel. The writer possesses a knowledge of society, especially in Scotland, dramatic power in depicting character, anl exhibiting scenes, with moral purpose and soundly elegant reflection."—Spectator.

JEWSBURY Author of " Zoe," " The Half Sisters," Sze. "Marian Withers will not imperil Miss Jewsbury's reputation as a keen observer and shrewd delineator of social weaknesses and follies. The book is full of cleverness and originality. Few novels contain a better or more interesting picture than the struggle of Marian's father to force a way for his own talents, and conquer the disadvan tages of fortune. It is admirably embodied, and appears to be from the life."—Examiner. Colburn and Co., Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough-street. NEW NOVEL. .Tut published, in 3 vols., and may be had at all the Libraries, FLORENCE SACKVILLE; Or, SELF-DEPENDENCE. By Mrs. BUR BURY. " This is a first novel, we hope it will not be the last by the au thoress, who possesses a clear appreciation of humour and of pathos, a firm hand in noting down the salient features of character, and a constancy to the leading purpose of her story. Them is nothing untrue to real life and suffering in the position of Florence Sackville, the self-dependent heroine and narrator. The story of poor Milly Tre velyan—the pathos of which is fearful, without exaggeration—is an episode that alone would Justify us in placing Mrs. Burbury high among modern novelists."—Athenteum. " There is more than the promise of talent in this first work of a writer, who possesses a flowing and racy style, an observant eye for character, a ready faculty of invention, and earnestness of design."— Atlas. " Florence Sackville, the self-dependent, is a clever creation, and possesses charms attractive enough- to entice us through three volumes. Mrs. Burbury is very happy in the mode in which she calls the self•dependent heroine into action, and she writes with ease and elegance."—Literary Gazette.

Westwood, Esq., president, in the chair. Mr. Hunter was elected a member of the society. The president ex hibited a living larva o f h ammat i c h eros h ero s, which had been sent to him by Sir T. Pasley, having been found in an Italian oak, which was being cut up at Pembroke dock yard. Mr. Wilkinson exhibited some wingless talmporia females, and the young larva produced from them with. out male intercourse. Mr. S.

Mr. Saunders ex hibited some macaroni destroyed by a small species of anobium, and some foliage of French beans which bad been attached by a small acarus in such numbers, that in ten days after their first appearance the French beans were completely destroyed; he remarked that this had been very general in the neighbourhood of Wandsworth and Putney this summer. Mr. White made some interesting remarks on the new forms of crustacea met with during the recent Arctic expedition. • by Mr. Ede. ADDRESS 'OF KOSSUTH TO THE PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES. We have received, through the New York Tribune, the following soul•stirring and most eloquent address from Kossuth to the people of America. We will not weaken the effect it is sure to produce, by a word of comment : Two years ago by God's providence, I, who would be only an humble ditiz3n, held in my hands the destiny of the reigning house. of Austria. Had I been ambitious, or had I believed that this treacherous family were so basely wicked as they after wards proved themselves to be, the tottering pillars of their throne would have fallen at my command, and buried the crowned traitors beneath their ruins, or would have scattered them like duss before a tempest, homeless exiles, bearing nothing but the remembrance of their perfidy, and that royalty which they deserved to lose through their own wickedness. I, however, did not take advantage of these favourable circumstances, though the entire freedom of my dear native land was the only wish of my heart. My requests were of that moderate nature which, in the condition of Hungary and Europe, seemed best fitted for my coun trymen. I asked of the King, not the complete inde undence of my beloved country—not even any new rights or privileges—bat simply these three things— '. First. kThat tho inalienable rights, sanctioned by a thousand years, and by the constitution of my father .. _ laud, should be guaranteed by a national and responsible administration. " Second. That every inhabitant of my country, without regarding language or religion, should be free and equal before the law—all classes having the same privilege and protection from the law. Third. That all the people_of the Austrian empire that acknowledged the same person as Emperor whom we Hungarians recognised as King, and the same law of succession, should have restored their ancient constitu- -tional rights, of which they had unjustly been despoiled, modified to suit the wants and the spirit of the age." The first demand was not for any new grant or con cession, but simply a fresh guarantee. In the arrange ment made with our ancestors, when by their free will they elevated the house of Hapsburg to the throne, a condition was made that the King should preserve the independence and constitution of the country. This independence and this constitution were the very vitality of our national being. During three centuries twelve kicgs of the house of Hapsburg had sworn, in the pre sence of thp Eternal God, before ascending the throne, that they would preserve our independence and the con stitution; and their lives are but a history of perpetual and accursed perjury. Yet such conduct did not weaken our fidelity. No nation ever manifested more faithful ness to their rulers. And though we poor Hungarians made endless sacrifices, often at the expense of our na tional welfare—though these kings in times of peace drow their support from us, and in times of war or danger relied upon the unconquerable strength of our army—though we ever trusted in their words—they deceived us a thousand times, and mach our condition worse. While other nations were able to apply all their ener gies to promote the general welfare and to develop their means of happiness, we had to stand on guard, like the watchmen mentioned in Scripture, for three centuries, to prevent our treacherous kings from destroying entirely the foundation of our national existence—our constitu tion and independence. I, as the representative of my countrymen, asked no thing more than a constitutional Ministry, whose respon sibility would prevent the King from violating his oath. The second demand was still less for any political right. We asked for nothing more than a reform in the internal administration of the state—a simple act of justice which the aristocracy owed the people. And in this bow much the King would have gained! The strength of his throne would have been increased tenfold by thus winning the affections of his faithful people. The third demand was promoted by humanity and fraternal feeling. It was the proper and holy mission of our, nation, as the oldest member of the empire, and possessing a constitutional form of government, to raise its voice in behalf of those sister nations under the same ruler, and who were united to us by so many ties of re lationship. Lovers of freedom, we would not ask li berty for ourselves alone; we would not boast of privi leges that others did not enjoy, but desired to be free in fellowship with free nations around us. This motive was inspired by the conviction that two crowns—a con stitutional and' a despotic - crown—could not be worn by the same head,-no-more than two opposing dispositions can harmonise in the same breast, or that a man can be good and evil at the same time. Tao King and Royal Family granted these requests, appealing to the sanctity of their oaths as a guarantee of their fulfilment; and I, weak in myself, but strong through the confidence of my countrymen and the noble sympathy of the Austrian people, proclaimed everywhere amidst the raging storm of revolution, that " the house of Austria should stand; for, by the blessing of tho Al mighty, it had begun to move in the right direction, and would be just to its people." It stood, and stoodttoo, at a time when, whatever might have been the fate of Hun gary, the revolutionary tempest, under my direction, would have blown away this antiquated and helpless 'dynasty like chaff before the winds of heaven. I not only preserved the house of Austria, but placed in its hands the :materials of a long and glorious future —the foundation of an indestructible power in the af fection of thirty-two' millions :of people. I tendered them the fidelity and and assistance of my own heroic Hungary, which alone was able to defend them against the assaults of the World. I afforded tbem the glorious opportunity—More glorious than had ever been pre sented before—of establishing an impregnable barrier to protect freedom, civilization and progress, against the Cossack power which now threatens Europe. To at• tain this honour, this glory, one thing only was neces sary—that they should remain faithful to their oaths. But when was it that Austria was not treacherous ? We look in vain for as much honour as is found even among robbers in the Hapsburg family. On the very day they signed the grant of those mo derate demands of the Hungarian people, and solemnly swore before God and the nation to maintain them, they secretly resolved and planned the most cruel conspiracy against us, They determined to break their oaths, to desolete the land with insurrection, conflagration, and blood, till, feeble and exhausted under the burden of a thousand miseries, Hungary might be struck from the roll of tieing nations. They then hoped, by the power of-the beyond, and, if necessary, by the arms of Russia, to erect a united and consolidated empire, like the Russian, of sixteen various nations ; they hoped to re a!izs their long-conceived purpose of making themselves 2.11:t absolute power. Never -were so many hellish arts used against a nation before. Not suspecting a co unter-revolution or an at tack, we were nut pteptired to defend ourselves, when suddenly we were surprised by danger.

And confiding in a j ust God, we cursed c owards who were preparing to abandon their nati ve land, to submit to a wicked desp otism, and to purchase a miserable existence by sacri ficin g libert y . I called the nation. to arms in self-defence. I acted not with blind presumption; and emotions of despair ft found no place in my breast—for he who d es p airs is not to guide a people. I estimated the v alour and power o h my_ country, and on the verge of a f e a rful struggle I ad , faith to promise victory, if Hungary would remain fire true I to herself, and fortify her breast wi th the im p ulsive of a strong will. To sustain the stern resolution to combat such an enemy, we were supported—first, above everything, by our unshaken confidence in God, whose ways are past finding out, but who supports the right, and blesses the cause of an honest people fighting for freedom; secondly, by a love of country and the holy desire of liberty, which makes the child a giant, and increases the strength of the valiant; and, thirdly, by your example, noble Ame ricans!—you, the chosen nation of the God of Liberty! My countrymen—a religious, a God-venerating people —in whose hearts burned the all-powerful feeling of patriotism, were inspired by the influence of your sublime example. Free citizens of America!—From your history, as from the star of hope in midnight gloom, we drew our confidence and resolution in the doubtfful days of severe trial. Accept, in the name of my countrymen, this de claration as a tribute of gratitude. And you, excellent people, who were worthy to be chosen by the Almighty as an example to show the world how to deserve free dom, how to win it, and how to use it—you will allow that the Hungarians, though weaker and less fortunate than you, through the decaying influences of old Euro pean society, are not unworthy to be your imitators, and that you would bo pleased to sec the stars of your glorious flag emblazon the double cross of the Hunga rian coat of arms. When despotism hurled defiance at us and began the bloody war, your inspiring example upheaved the nation as one man, and legions, with all the means of war, appearing to rise from nothing, as the tender grass shoots up after spring showers. Though we were inferior in numbers to the enemy, and could not compare with their well-trained forces ; though our arms wore shorter than theirs, yet the heroic sons of Hungary supplied the want of numbers by in domitable bravery, and lengthened their weapons by a step further in advance. The world knows how bravely the Hungarians fought. And it is not for me, who was identified with the war— who, obeying the wishes of the nation, stood faithfully at the helm of government, to extol the heroic deeds of ray countrymen. I may mention, however, that while eve ry day it became more evident that the heart of Europe beat to the pulsations of the Hungarian struggle, we maintained the unequal conflict alone, cut off from the rest of the world and all external aid, till a year ago we laid the haughty power of the tyrant house of n e pshurg in the dust ; and had it not been for the in tentional and traitorous disregard of my commands by ono of our leaders, who afterwards shamefully betrayed the cGuntry, not only would the imperial family have Wen driven from Vienna, but the entire Austrian nation would have been liberated; and though by such treason this base family saved themselves from destruction, they were so far humbled in March, 1349, that, not knowing how to bo just, they implored foreign aid, and threw themselves at the feet of the Czar. The Emperor hoped that the Hungarian people could be terrified by his threatenings, and would prefer slavery. to death; but he was deceived. He sold his own liberty to Russia, for aid to enslave his people. The choice of a coward is to purchase a miserable ephemeral existence, even though at the cost of his honour and independence. The Austrians fought against us, not only with arms, and by the aid,of traitors, but with studied and unceasing slender. They have ceased to impdach our motives and falsify our conduct, and vaunt the pretended justice of their own cause before the judgment-seat of public opinion. Efforts were constantly made to weaken, among the people of Hungary, and among the nations of the world, that sympathy and foreawhich spring from a righteous cause. Free citizens of North America, you have given, in spite of these slanders, the fiillest sympathy for the cause of my country. We had no opportunity to explain to you our motives and conduct, and refute the libels against us; but we said—and how truly your noble and magnanimous. conduct shows it! that such a nation knows how to defend a jist and . holy cause, and will give us its sympathy; and this conviction inspired us with more confidence. Oh, that you had been a neigh bouring nation! The Old World would now be free, and would not have to endure again those terrible con vulsions and rivers of blood which are inevitable. But the end is with God, and He will clime the means to fulfil His purposes. _ _ Ye great and free people! receive the thanks of my country for your noble sympathy, which was a great moral support to our terrible conflict. When the house of Austria salditself to the Auto - crat, we, who were fatigued with our hard-earned vic tory, but not subdued 9r exhausted, saw with apprehen sion the spectre of Russian invasion—an invasion which violated the laws of nations, which was openly hostile to the cause of civilization, the rights of man, of order, and even to that principle which the diplomacy of Eu rope calls " the balance of power." I could not believe that the Governments of Europe would permit this in vasion; for I expected they would interfere to effect a treaty of peace, if not so much on our account, yet to prevent Austria becoming the vassal of Russia—to check the growing strength and influence of the latter power in the East. We desired an honourable peace, and were willing to submit to any reasonable terms. We many times ten dered the olive-branch. We asked the constitutional Governments of Europe to interpose. They heard us not. The haughty imperial family, forgetting that they were the real traitors, rejected every proposition with the de fying expression teat they " did not treat with rebels." And, more, they threw our ambassadors into prison, and one of them—the noblest of Hungary's sons—they cowardly and impiously murdered. Still we hesitated to tear asunder for ever the bonds that united us. Ten months we fought, and fought viotorionsly, in defence; and it was only when every attempt to bring about an honourable peace failed—when Francis Joseph, who was never our king, dared, in his manifesto of the 4th of March, 1549, to utter the curse, " That Hungary should exist no longer"—when there was no hope of arresting the Russian invasion by diplomacy— when we faw that we must fight ,to save ourselves from being struck off the earth as a nation—when the house of Austria, by its endless acts of injustice and cruelty, and by calling in the aid of a foreign power, had ex tinguished in the hearts of the Hungarian people every spark of affection—then, and then only, after so much patience, the nation res olved to declare its absolute in dependence. Then spoke the National Assembly the words which had long been uttered by . every patriotic tongue:—" Francis Joseph ! thou beardless young Nero! thou dareat to say, Hungary shall exist no more? We, the people, answer, We do and will exist; but you and your treacherous house shall stand no longer! You shall no more be the Kings of Hungary! Be for ever banished ye perfidious traitors to the nation!" We were not only ready to accept any terms that were honourable, but we carefully abstain from doing any thing which would give the Czar a pretence, which he had long sought to meddle with our affairs. The Hungarian nation loved freedom as the beet gift of God, but at never thought of commencing a crusade against kings in the name of liberty. In Hungary there were none of those propagandists who alarm so much the rulers of the old world. There were no secret societies plotting conspiracies. My countrymen were not influenced by the theories of communists or socialists, nor were they what the Conservatives call anarchists. The nation desired justice, and knew how to be just to all, irrespective of rank, language, or religion. A people so worthy of freedom were generous enough to leave something to time, and to be satisfied with a pro gressive development. No violence was used; no just right was attacked; and even some of those institutions were left undisturbed whieb e ein theig . principle and . origin, were unjust, but which, having existed for cans turies, could not be abolished at once with impunity. Tho Hungarian people did not wish to oppress any— not even the aristocracy; they were more ready to make sacrifices than to punish the descendants of nobility for the evils of misgovernment, and of those institutions which emanated from their ancestors; nor would they lot the many suffer for the sins of the few. There was no anarchy among us. Even' in the mostbloodiestexcited, o f the th e c r o e nfl , Lct s s, th w e h m en ee t t he h um an passions are perfect se curity of property and person. How my noble countrymen compare with that of the " order making" Austria. Whenever the whirlwind of war cease d fur a while where the social elements were left in cha os, did t o h r e d P e r e e a d n a d e t e the instinctivelmoral feelings of this incorruptible people, in the absence of all government, preserved better order andsatetYthwanlle nation—no secret aims, legions of police.ie.cos,mmon spirit animated the he or local attacks, but a bold and open defence in of the world. Following the example of your great Washingtbn, we adopted, as our policy, conciliation,jus tice, andlegality, and scrupulously obesrved the laws of nations. The Russians and Austrians made the personal of feat soilWalla chia the basis of military operations ; and the of beTurkisl Government, which either knew not its own interests, or was unable to defend them, silently permitted this viola tion of treaties and the right s of nat i on s, thus humbling itself and betrayi ng it s own wea kness.

They slid they pitied us, honoured our efforts, and condemned the conduct of Austria ; but they could not help es, because Europe required a powerful Austrian e mpire, and they must support it, in spite of its evils, as a balance against Russian central and eastern Europe. e s e t t r r e e n y g e t d h What a mistake ! What diplomacy! Is it not as clear as the sun that the Czar, in aiding Austria, would do it in such a manner as to obtain the greatest advan tages for himself?

Had libery which character ised few sh ips . a ships to come to these two powers permitte d for the noble p atriots, who had Ossore, laden with arms _.. the humanity, the love . asked in vain for weapons, the Hunga rians would now have stood a more impregnable barrier against Russia than all the arts of a miserable and expensive diplomacy. There was a time when we, with the neighbouring Poles, saved Christianity in Europe. And now I hesitate not to avow before God that we alone—m 7 own Hun gary—could have saved Euro p e from Russian do mination. As the war i n Hun g ary advanced, its cha racter became changed. In the end, the results it con templated were higher and far more important—nothing less, in fact, than universal freedom, which was not thought of in the beginning. This was not a choice; it was forced upon us by the policy of the European na tions, who, disregarding their own interests, suffered Russia to i nva d e an d provoke us. Yes, we were mar tyrs to th e cause o f f ree d o m, and this glorious but painful destiny was imposed upon us. Though my dear native Hungary is trodden down, and the flower of her sons executed, or wandering exiles, and I, her governor, writing from my prison in this distant Asiatic Turkey, I predict—and the eternal God bears my prediction—that there can be no freedom for the continent of Europe, and that the Cossacks, from the shores of the Don, will water their steeds in the Rhine, unless liberty be restored to Hungary. It is only with Hungarian freedom that European nations can be free; and the smaller nationalities especially can have no fri tare without us. Nor could the united Russo-Austrian forces have con quered my heroic countrymen had they not found a traitor to aid them in th e man w h om , b e li ev ing in his honesty, and on account of his skill, I raised from ob scurity. Enjoying my confidence, the confidence of the nation and the army, I placed him at the head of our forces, giving him the most glorious part to perform ever granted to man. What •an immortality was in his reach, had he been honest ! But he betrayed, his coun try. Cursed be his name for ever ! I will not open the bleeding wounds by the sad remembrance of this event, and will merely mention that the surrender at Vilagos was the crowning act of a long system of treachery secretly practised—by not using the advantages which victories put in his hands—by not fulfilling my com mands, under cunning pretences—by destroying national feeling in the army—by weakening its confidence—and by the destruction, through unnecessary exposures and dangers, of that portion of tho army that he could not corrupt in his base designs to make himself military dic tator. God, in his inscrutable wisdom, knows why the traitor was permitted to be successful. In vain fell the bravest of men in this long war—in vain were the exer tions of my brave countrymen—in vain did the aged father send, with pious heart, his only son, the prop of his declining years, and the bride her bridegroom—in vain did all private interests yield to the loftiest pa triotism—in vain arose the prayers of a suffering people —in vain did the ardent wishes of every friend of free dom accompany our efforts—in, vain did the Genius of Liberty hope for success. My country was martyred. Her rulers are hangmen. They have spoken the impi ous words that the liberty-loving nation " lies at the feet of the Om." Instead of the thankful prayer of faith, of hope, and of love, the air of my native land is filled with the cries of despair, and I, her chosen leader, am an exile. The diplomacy of Europe has changed Turkish hospitality to me and my companions into hopeless bondage. It is a painful existence. My youthful children have begun the morning of their life in the hands of my country's destroyers, and I—but no; desponding does not become me, for I am a man. lam not permitted, or I would say I envy the dead. Who is unfortunate? I am in Broussa, where the great Hannibal once lived an exile, homeless like myself, but rich in services performed for his country, while I can claim only fidelity to mine. The ingrati tude of his nation went with him in his banishment, but the sorrowful love of my countrymen follows me to my place of exile. To thee, my God, I offer thanks that thou didst deem me worthy to suffer for dear Hungary. Let me sutler afflictions, but accept them as propitiary sacrifices for my native land. And thou, Hungarian nation, yield not to despair ! Be patient; hope, and wait thy time! Though 411 men forget thee, the God of Justice will not. Thy sufferings are recorded, and thy tears remembered. The blood of thy martyrs—thy noble sons—which moistened thy soil, will have its fruits. The victims which daily fall there are, like the ever green cypress over the graves of the dead, the symbol of thy resurrection. The race whom thy destroyer excited against the by lies and cunning will be deceived: they will know that thou didst not fight for pre-eminence, but for the common liberty— that thou west their brother, and bled for them also. The temporary victory of our enemies will but serve to take the film from the eyes of the deceived people. The sentiment of sympathy for our sufferings will inspire among the smaller states and races the wish for a fra ternal confederation—for that which I always urged as the only safe policy and guarantee of freedom for them all. The realisation of this idea will hurl the power of the haughty despots to the abyss of the past, and Hungary, free, surrounded by free nations, will be great glorious, and independent. At the moment when I hardly hoped for further con solation on earth, behold the God of Mercy freed my wife, and enabled her, through a thousand dangers, to reach me in my place of exile. Like a hunted deer, she could not for five months find in her own native land a place of rest. The executioners of the beardless Nero placed a reward upon her head, but she has escaped the tyrants. She was to me and to my exiled countrymen like the rainbow to Noah, for she brought intelligence of hope in the unshaken souls of the Hungarian people, and in the affectionate sympathy of the neigbbouring na tions who had fought against us. They had aided the wife of the much-slandered Governor of Hungary. Although the sympathy of the world often depends upon the result of actions, and the suceeosful are ap plauded, etill Hungary by her noble bearing and trials has drawn the attention of the world. The sympathy which she has excited in both worlds, and the thunder ing curse which the lips of millions have pronounced againgst her destroyers, announce like the roaring of the wind before the storm the coming retribution of heaven. ' Among the nations of the world there are two which demand our gratitude and affection. England, no less powerful than she is free and glorious, supported us by her sympathy and by the approving voice of her noblest sons and the millions of her people. Aud that chosen land ofifraedom beyond the ocean—the all-powerful peo ple of the United States, with their liberal Government —inspired us with hope, and gave us courage by their deep interest iu our cause and sufferings, and by their condemnation of our executioners. The President of the United States, whom the confi dence of a free people had elevated to the loftiest station in the world, in his Message to the Congress, announced that the American Government would have been the first to recognise the independence of Hungary. And the senators and representatives in Congress marked the de stroyers of my country's liberty with the stigma of igno miny, and expressed with indignant feelings, their con tempt for the conduct of Austria, and their wish to break the diplomatic intercourse with such a Govern ment. They summoned the despots before the judgment seat of humanity; they proclaimed that the world would condemn them; they declared that Austria and Russia had been unjust, tyrannical, and barbarous, and deserved to be reprobated by mankind, while Hungary was worthy of universal sympathy. The Hungarians, more fortunate than I, who were able to reach the shores of the New World, were re ceived by the people and the Government of the United States in the most generous manner—yes, like brothers. With ono hand they hurled anathemas at the despots, and with the other welcomed the humble exiles to par take of that glorious American liberty more to be valued than the glitter of crowns. Our hearts are filled with emotions to see how this great nation extends its sym pathy and aid to every Hungarian who is so fortunate as to arrive in America. The sympathetic declaration of such a people under such circumstances, with similar sen timents in Engl an d, i s no t a me re sigh which the wind blows away, but is prophetic of the future. What a blessed sight to see whole nations actuated by such sentiments! Free citizens of America ! you inspired my country men to noble deeds; your approval inspired confidence; your sympathy consoled in adversity, gave a ray of hope for the future, and enabled us to bear the weight of oar heavy burden; your fellow-feeling will sustain us until we realize the hope, the faith " that Hungary is not lost for ever." Accept, in the name of my countrymen, the acknowledgments of our warmest gratitude, and our highest respect. I, who know Hungary so well, firmly believe she is not lost; and the intelligent citizens of America have decided, not only with impulsive kindness, but with reason and policy, to favour the unfortunate but not sub jugated Hungary. The sound of that encouraging voice is not like a funeral dirge, but as the shrill trumpet that will call the world to judgment. Who does not see that Austria, even in her victory, has given herself a mortal wound? Her weakness is betrayed. The world no longer believes that Europe needs the preservation o f thi s d ecay i ng emp i re . It i s evi▪ dent that its existence is a curse to mankind; it can never promote the welfare of s oc i e ty. Th e magic of its imagined poweris gone ; it was a d e l us i on w hi c h can de cei▪ ve no longer. Among all the races of this empire— not excepting the hereditary states—there is none that does not despise the reigning family of Hapsburg. This power has no moral gro un d o f support; i ts va i n dreams of a united empire —for which it has committed the most unheard-of crimes—are proved to be mere ravings at which the world laughs. No one loves or respects it; and when it falls, not a tear of regret will follow it to the grave. And fall it surely will. The moment Russia withdraws her support, the decayed edifice will crumble to dust. A shot fired by an English or by an . American vessel from the Adriatic would be the trumpet at the city of Jericho. And this impious, foolish Government thinks to control fate by the hang mang's cord. How long will Russia be able to assist? This Czar—who boasts that his mission is to be the scourgetheA be, blast the miserable boaster? The very character of lm o ig f h a ty ll , t w he ho n s a h ti v o i n he s r s e t g r e iv h i t n h g e fo p r ro l f i a b n e e r l t y y — ass wi um ll es no to t his government is a declaration of war against the rights and interests of humanity, and the existence of other nations. Will the world suffer this long? Not long. The Hungarian nation, in her war, has not only gained a consciousness of her own strength, but she has forced the conviction into the minds of other nation s th a t s h e deserves to exist, and to be independent ; and she eau show justly that her existence and independence aro essential to the cause of liberty in Europe. No, no! Hungary is not lost! By her f a ith, b ravery, and by her foresight, which teaches her to abide her time, she will be yet among the foremost in the war of universal liberty ! You, noble Americans, we bless in the na►ne of the (led of Liberty ! To you, who have summoned the mur derers of my countrymen before the judgment -seat of the world—to you, who are the firstjudges of this court —I will bring the complaints of my nation, and before you I will plead her came. When the house of Haps burg, with the aid of a foreign army, invaded my country and had destroyed, by their manifesto of the 4th of March, 1549, the foundation upon which the union with Austria rested, there remained for Hungary no alternative than [PRICE SD. the declaration of ind e p en d ence which the National As sembly unanimoutly voted on t h e 14th of Apr i l, 1149, and which the whole nation solemnly accepted, and sealed with their blood. 1 declare to you, in the most solemn manner, that all which has taken place, or may h erea f ter ta k e place, proceeding from individu a l s or Government, con trary to tnis declaration, which is in perfect accord wi h the fandamontal law of Hungary, is illegal and unjust. Before you I assert that the accusat i on that the Mac,- yar race was unjust to the oth er races— b y means 'of which a prtion of the Servians, Wallachians, Slavoni ans and Germans dwelling in Hungary, was excited against us—is en impious slander, circulated by the house of Hapsburg, which shrinks from no crime to weaken the united forces of our army, to conquer one race after another, and thus bring them all under the yoke of slavery. It is true, some of the races in Hungary had reason to complain; but these subjects of complaint were the inevitable consequences of the pre-existing state of things and the Austrian interference. But the Croatians had no reason to complain. This race of half a million, in a separate province, had a National Assembly of its own, and enjoyed greater privileges than even the Hun garians. They contributed proportionally but half as much in taxes; they possessed equal rights with Hun gary; while the Hungarian Protestants, ou account of their religion, were not suffered to own lands in Croatia. Their grievances an t i ours were the same in the perpe tual violation of th e C o n st itutioa by the Imperial ”Go vernment. But their own peculiar grievances arose from the evils of for mer ti mes , an d from the Austrian system of government, whi c h f orc ibly placed the Slavonian, Ser viau, and Wallachian boundary districts on the German military footing. • The moment, however, our people became free, and enjoyed their politi ca l r i g ht s , they became just, and placed all things unon a basis of freedom and equality. , But some of these - races, blinded by the infernal slanders and suggestions of Austria, took up arms against us. This people, who for centuries had endured slavery, fought against th e i r own f ree d om ! G o d forgive them! They know not what they did. In America, people of different language dwell; but who says that it is unjust for senators and representa tives to use the English language in their debates, and to make it the official language of the Government? This was what the Magyar race asked in Hungary. There was this difference only—that in America it was not necessary to establish this law, for the original settlers had stamped their language in the country; but in Hungary a law was necessary to make the Magyar the official language. The use of the Latin tongue—a bad relic of the middle ages, which the clergy and aris tocracy preserved as something •precious, imitating the ancient despots, who caused the laws to be written in small letters and placed on high towers, that the people might not understand their rights—had been retained among ns. It was necessary to have a living, spoken, popular language. And what other could we have than the noble Magyar? How often have I, and other leaders with me, said to my countrymen that they must be strictly just, and seek their future greatness not in the predominance of one race, but in the perfect equality of all ! My counsel was adopted and made the basis of the Government. The same freedom, the same privileges, without regard to language or religion, the free development of each race under the protection of the law, were accorded to all. We not only guaranteed the right to use any language in the churches and schools, but we afforded aid for the education and development of each nationality. The principle we announced was, that either the State should protect no religion, no nationality—leaving all to the free action of the people—or that it should protect all alike. In the general administration the predominance of our language, end consequently the race that spoke it, was a necessity; but in the administration of county affairs, which in some respects resembled that of the individual states in North America, the use of each language Will; granted. In the courts, in the trial by jury, in the right of petition, in the republication of all laws and ordi nances, the various races had the right to use their own language. In ono word, nothing was left undone which could tend to place all on a footing of the most perfect equality. True, we did not—as Austria has done for political purposes solely, to enslave all the people and make the brave Hungarians a subordinate nation—make a territorial division of the lands. We respected rights, and wished to progress, bat were too honest to com mence a system of spoliation. And who has been bene fited by this policy of the Vienna bureaucracy? Not even those on whom the pretended favours have been conferred. When those races clamoured for national tights, I boldly demanded what was wanting, and what could be granted without injury to the country. No one etas wercd but reckless men, who spoke of territorial division. The Servaus decired to have the comitat Baes and the three counties of the Banat as a separate Servian state. Toe Wallachiaus wished to have Transylvania. They (the Servians) did not consider that they owned no scrparato portion of the land in Hungary, and that in tho Bees, and the Banat wero Wallachians, Germans, and Mag yars, who could not be made subordinate to the less numerous Servians. So also, in Transylvania there were Magyars, Sellers, and Saxons, who would complain of such a connection with Wallachia. As there were various races, speaking different languages in Hungary, and divided into as many muni cipalities, who could blame us for laying the foundation of government in a just equality to all? Croatia alone was a separate territory; and how often have we *aid' to her that if she would remain in union with us, we would give her the hand of brotherhood; but if she wished to separate, we would not hinder her! We could not, however, permit such a division of Hungary as would have destroyed her as a nation. It was Austria who sowed the seeds of division and dissolution. Citizens of America, to you I declare honest!) , that my aim in the federation of Hungary with smaller na tions was to secure the nationality and independence of each, and the freedom of all; and had anything been wanting which could have been justly granted to any one or all of the races in Hungary, the Magyars had only to know it, and it would have been performed with readiness; for freedom, and not power, was their desire. Finally, I declare that, by the declaration of inde pendence by which I was elected Governor of Hungary, I protest, so long as the people do not by their free will release me from that office, that no one can legally con trol the affairs of government but myself. The protes tstion is not made in a feeling of vanity or desire to be conspicuous, but from respect to the inherent rights of my countrymen. I strove not for power. The bril liancy of a crown would not seduce me. The final aim of my life, after having liberated my dear Hungary, was to end my days as a private citizen and an humble farmer. My country, in the hour of danger, called upon me to assist in the struggle for freedom. I responded to its call. Others, doubtless, were more able, who could have won more fame, but I will yield to none in the purity of my motives. Perhaps it was confidence in my ardent patriotism and honesty of purpose which induced the people to give me power. They believed freedom would be safe in my hands. I felt my weakness, and to them I could not promise liberty unless they were united as one man, and would lay aside all personal, all sectional in terests. I foretold that if the nation was divided, it would fall. As long as they followed my injunctions,and were united, they were unconquerable—they performed miracles of valour. The fall of Hungary commenced the day they began to,:divide. Not knowing the secret causes of this division, and not suspecting treachery, and wishing to inspire confidence, to give skill, and all the elements of success to our army, and caring nothing for my own fame, doing all for the good of my country, I gave command of the forces to another. I was assured by the most solemn engagement, by the man to whom I gave the power, that he would use it for the welfare and independence of the nation, and that ho would be responsible to me and the people for the fulfilment of these conditions. He betrayed his country, and gave the army to the enemy. Had we succeeded after this terrible blow, he should have met his reward. And even now he is not freed from his accountability to the nation, no more than I, in the moral right and sense, cease to be the Go vernor of Hungary. A short time may revere again the fate of all. The aurora of liberty breaks upon my vision, even at Broussa. _ _ Thttv therefore, intrusted to Ladislas Ujhazi, Ober nn of the Saros comitat, and Civil Go vernor o f f3eoscaPaorn, the mission to be my representative, and through me the representative of the Hungarian nation, to the people and Government of the United States, hoping and believing that so generous a people will not judge the merits of our cause by a temporary defeat, but will re cognise Governor Ujhazi and his companions with the accustomed kindness. May God bless your country for ever! May it have the glorious destiny to share with other nations the blessings of that liberty which constitutes its own happi ness and fame! May your great example, noble Ame ricans, be to other nations the source of social virtue; your power be the terror of all tyrants—the protector of the distressed ; and your free country ever continue to be the asylum for the oppressed of all nations.

ME O . n Monday, in .i RS. T. C. FOST ER ' S LECT E ON 'Mrs. T. C. er lecture, delivered at the Hanover-square Rooms, o e spoke pretty sharply of the " g o " -a-head leaders of the movement, and went no farther than to advoe cate a molification in female costume, which may b e termed " Bloomerettism," the ski r t of the dress being curtailed of its fair proportion but by six, instead of sixteen inches. Still the objectionable " pants" were visible, completely spoiling the symmetry of her figure, which was displayedto exceeding advantage in a graceful satin gown in the earlier portion of the lecture. Indeed the adoption towards its close of " the modification of Bloomerism" took off full fifty per cent. of the per sonal attractions of the fair lecturer, whose appearance and manners are very prepossessing, and who, in the lady-like dress in which she made her entrance may be pronounced singularly pretty and fascinating. Her lecture was devoted to the history of the muta tions which female costume has undergone during the last half century, and while exposing past monstrosi ties which in their turn have been sanctioned by fashion, she hinted at reforms still desirable, and re commended the new Transatlantic costume in a modi fied form. The audience was rather small, but com prised a fair proportion—about one-third—of ladies, who, if any one, may be supposed to be interested in the subject of discussion. Amongst such an auditory, " fit, though few," there was, as might be anticipated, none of that boisterous and indecorous mirth by which the Bloomer ad vocetes in other places have been saluted. Of her address, which she delivered with very agree able voice, enhanced by good elocution, we subjoin a well-condensed report from the Morning Chronicle:— " She introduced her subject by avowing her in tention to abstain from any remarks on the rights of woman, feelin g satisfied that any attempt to mix up the subject of costume with one so widely different would be distasteful to the majority of her audience. This practice, she conceived, had defeated the objects of those who resorted to it, by preventing the intro duction of the d es i re d c h ange in aristocratic circles, where, to be successful, it must first make its ap pearance. After a f ew remarks on the despotic nature of fashion, and the slavish obedience yielded to it in this country, the lady referred to the absurd costumes in vogue in the time of Elizabeth, particularising the gigantic ruff, sometimes so large as to compel the unfortunate wearer to eat with a spoon two feet long! Descending tothe time of Charles 11., she showed the ladies' dresses were then distinguished by much ease and elegance, and re ferred for proof to the pictures of Vandyke. She ' traced the mutations which female attire had under gone—through the hoop, the high head-dress, or com mode (when a lady's hair was piled up to a height of two feet, being kept in that position by stuffing and grease, and only " opened" once in eight or nine weeks), and the absurdly large bonnets, like an inverted coal-scuttle, which, though prevailing till a comparatively recent period, were now happily numbered amongst the modes d'autrefois. The illustrations of these enor mities, which were exhibited in turn, were very amusing, and fairly melted the original gravity of the audience. The lady then came to what proved the more interesting portion of her lecture. Having ex pressed her belief that the new " Bloomer" costume was admirably adapted for the purpose for which it was intended, she said it would be acceptible to the audience that she should exhibit it in person, and with this view she retired. In the course of a few minutes she returned, wearing an elegant ruby velvet dress and mantle; the dress descends to within about four inches of the ground, and leaves visible a very small portion of the nether garment, as we may call it, for want of a better term. Indeed, owing to the imperfect light on the platform, and the position in which the lady stood, it was impossible for the ma jority of the audience to see how the leg. dress was arranged. The applause having subsided, the lady resumed her address by pointing out the inconve niences which would be remedied by the adoption of this costume, without any sacrifice of modesty or elegance. Every one knew the misery which ladies now experienced from walking in the dirt or dust. Some said the proposed costume was unfeminine, and that it was an imprudent usurpation by woman of a certain nameless gar ment supposed to pertain exclusively to the male sex. —(Cheers.) This was not the first time woman had been charged with this offence • the same complaint had been made as early as the fifteenth century, again in the time of Elizabeth, and in 1662 Mr. Pepys said, ' The women wear doublets, coats, and great shirts, just for all the world like mine; so that, only for a long petticoat draggling under their shirts, nobody could take them for women in any way whatever:— (Laughter.) But the Bloomer costume was neither new nor extraordinary—it was worn in every board ing-school in the kingdom ; it had only been to America, and undergone a few changes, and now appeared under a new name. Whatever merits or demerits it might possess, it was certain the ladies of this country would not have any form of dress foeced upon them, unless perfectly satisfied that it was superior to their own. The modification of the dress which she wore was a street dress for winter —warm, comfortable, and convenient—made for the sake of testing its applicability for ordinary walking pur poses. A much greater amount of elegance might be obtained by lighter colours. Some objected that it was not sufficiently short, being longer than those represented in the engravings. But, she imagined, few ladies would like to attire themselves in that way, so as to resemble those indescribable beings between a ballet dancer and a daughter of the regiment.'— (Laughter.) If by cutting six inches from their dreses they could attain all the objects desired, why should they cut off sixteen ? She did not believe the other sex would entertain any real antipathy to the change, provided expenditure were kept within due limits. But, while the advocates of the costume continued to act in the imprudent and unwomanly manner they were doing they would retard rather than advance their cause. The costume must stand or fall by its own merits. The prevailing mode was a long way from perfection ; and whether the Bloomer costume was a step in the right direction or a retrogression it was for the audience to decide. Mrs. Foster then thanked her hearers for their attention, and excused any little nervousness she might have exhibited on the ground of her being rather disappointed in the number present. She then withdrew amidst applause." ST. JAMES'S, HATCHAM. The interesting ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Hatcham National and Infant Schools, took place yesterday afternoon by that ornament to his order, the Right llon. the Earl of Shaftesbury. The site is on a part of the ground well known as formerly Mr. Cormack's nursery, and very near the Royal Naval School. After an excellent sermon had been preached at the room now used as a temporary church, by the Rev. J. V. Povab, A.M., rector of St. Anne and St. Agnes, Aldersgate-street, London, and one of the minor canons of St. Paul's Cathedral, the Noble Earl, supported by the Rev. A. K. Granville, M.A., the incumbent of Hatcham, the Rev. Smith, of Camberwell, Rev. English, of Sydenham, the Rev. A. E. Sketchley, vicar of St. Nicholas, Dept. ford, and the Rev. W. Masters, one of the curates of Greenwich, followed by the builder, Mr. Walter Granville, the churchwardens, Messrs. Covell and Press, the committee, and the children of the church schools in procession, proceeded to the scene of operation, where a great number of resi dents of the hamlet were assembled, and after a prayer had been offered up by the Rev. Mr. Granville, the Noble Earl with the usual formalities laid the stone amid loud cheers. He then, in an excellent address, during the delivery of which he was repeatedly, cheered, inculcated princi pally the urgent necessity of the parents of the chil dren, who were about to receive the benefits of in struction to be given to their children, to set them an example of Christian conduct themselves, in order to give due effect to such instruction. A prayer of blessing on the un d erta ki ng was then read, and an appropriate hymn sang, and after the usual bene diction, the parties left the ground. A s plendid luncheon was provid e d f or th e pr i nc ip a l supporter s o f the school, and th e i n t en d e d new c h ur ch, the sit e of which is n ear th a t o f th e f ormer , an d at _which h th e t Rev.
