cleared himself to all lovers of true liberty. He would take that opportunity cf saying a few words in regard to the subject of intervention and non-intervention, upon which his friend Mr. Cobden had so much dwelt. No country had so well adhered to the doctrine of non-intervention as had the United States. The doc trine had been bequeathed to them by Washington, and they still looked upon it as a sacred bequest. But there were many of his countrymen who consi dered that with their increased power and their daz zling future a new and different policy might be forced upon thane by the necessities of their condition. The time would come, if it had not already come, when the United States would be forced into taking more than an interest in European politics. When they should be so forced he hoped they would still adhere to the advice of Washington, and, at the same time, require of other members of the great family of na tions to adhere to the same doctrine. He hoped, when introduced into the arena of European politics, they would be introduced as the ally of England upon some such great constitutional cause as that of the independence of Hungary crushed by foreign inter vention. Hand and hand with Great Britain, no combination of despotic Governmeats could re-enact the terrible drama of placing the foot of absolutism upon the neck of national independence and constitu tional freedom.—(Loud cheers.) KOSSUTH rose and said Mr. Mayor and gen tlemen, allow me to interpose for a few minutes, and melee one or two observations to y u .—(dear, hear.) Allow me in the name of my nation to express the gratification with which I have heard the sentiments expressed and the hope that has been uttered and so warmly responded to by you that, through the justice of the Eternal God, my country may yet regain her liberties.—(Cheers.) I am proud to find that we are supported by the sympathies of this mighty people, and of the offspring of England across the Atlantic, through whose government the blessings of liberty are enjoyed in both hemispheres. Supported by that sympathy, I trust in God to see the hope so fervently expressed realize bu d, the and words—l that soon.—(Cheers. the brief ) lam not eloquent, t cannot say words—which you have done me the honour to listen to, fell from my lips in order to explain the position of my country, and not with the view of exciting sympathy for myself. Ours is not the cause of one family—of one party—but it is the cause of a whole people claiming those just rights to which the nation is entitled.—(Hear.) After the length at which I have already addressed you, I feel that I dare not now long detain you ; but I am a man who speaks, as it were, from inspiration ; and I now feel that, had I not already spoken, I could speak volumes to you from the energy and warmth of my heart.—(Cheers.) In consequence of that inspiration you must allow me to address to you a few more words. I had heard of the reception which I might expect in England, but I had not pictured to m yself so warm, so cordial a greeting, as that which you gave me on landing, and the noble welcome which has this day been given me in this room through the hospi tality of your Mayor.—(Cheers.) I have but just come from the East, where I have always loved to see and closely examine the institutions and habits of the people of the cities in which I have been. No study can be more interesting, because the character of a people is chiefly dependent on that of her institutions. As lam naturally somewhat imbued with eastern habits, perhaps you will permit me, in the eastern manner, to tell you a brief tale.—(Hear, hear.) It is reported that the Sultan Saladin, the gallant enemy of Richard Coeur de Lion, once met a Jew named Aaron, called " the Wise ;" Saladin said to him " Haw is it that you, who are a wise man, do notchange Tour religion and become either a Christian or a Mehoineden, as though they differ in doctrines, they agree upon one principal point ? Your religion teaches you to believe that God Almighty can only take to His besorn the members of your nation, whereas the Christian a-ad Mahomedan religion teaches that, though there may be differences of faith among men, all may go, though by different ways, to Heaven.— (Cheers.) Why, therefore, do not you, who are known as a wise man, become a Christian or a Mahomedan ? Is not this a subject for your serious consideration ?" Aaron answered and said, " There was once a Shah, who had in his possession a most precious ring, among the stones of which was an opal which had this singular quality, that it rendered whatever man wore the ring agreeable before God and man. The Shah grew old, having three sons, all of whom he loved equally well, so that he was at a loss to which he should give this precious ring, which would make the possessor agreeable both before God and man. At length he called upon a cunning gold smith, to make two other rings so exactly like the one he then had that even he himself should not be able to distinguish one ring from the other. Upon his death bed the Shah called his sons around him, and presenting them with the three rings, told them that one of them had the attribute of making its possessor agreeable both before God and man. He knew not which ring was the true one, and fortune must decide ; but he trusted that eaoh would consider himself the possessor of it; so that to whosoever's lot it might fall, all would show by the propriety of their conduct that they were deserving of it:' Now, as there are different ways to heaven, there may also be, and there are, different ways to the promotion of the happiness and welfare of the people.—(Cheers.) England wants no change, be cause she is governed by a constitutional monarchy, under which all classes in the country enjoy the full benefits of liberty and freedom.—(Cheers.) The consequence is the people of England are masters of their own fate, defenders of her instutions, obedient to the laws, and vigilant in their behaviour, and the country has become and nauF.t ever continue, under such institutions, to be great, glorious, and free.— (Cheers.) Then the United States are a republic, and, though governed in a different way to this country, the people of the United States have no mo tive for desiring a change ; they have got liberty, freedom, and every means for the full development of their social condition and position.—(Cheers.) Under their government the people of the United States have in 60 years arrived at a position of which they may well be proud ; and the English people, too, have good reason to be proud of their descendants, and the share which she has had in the planting of so great a nation on the other side of the Atlantic.— (Loud cheers.) It is most gratifying to see so great and glorious a nation thriving under a consti tution but little more than 60 years old. It is not every republic in which freedom is found to exist, and I could cite examples in proof of my assertion—and I deeply lament that there is among them one great and glorious nation where the people do not yet enjoy that liberty which their noble minds so well fit them for. It is not every monarchy that is good because under it you enjoy full liberty and freedom. There fore I feel that it is not the living under a govern ment called a republic that will secure the liberties of the people, but that quite as just and honest laws may exist under a monarchy as under a republic.— (Cheers.) If I wanted an illustration I need only, as I have done, examine the institutions of England and the United States, to show that under different forms of government equal liberty can and does exist— (Cheers) —and I trust that the people will, in the ful ness of time, show which is deserving to be the pos sessor of the " real ring" by the propriety of their behaviour.—(Cheers.) I believe that human hearts and human minds mayrequire different regulation and training, according to circumstances. So also in na tions, a difference of position, of policy, of wants, of principles, of action, may require different forms of government, and that Government cannot be bad which secures to the people liberty of opinion, social order, and the impartial protection of property and , person, of every class and every member of society. It is not perfect freedom where only one person out o f a million is in right to vot e i n the possession of privileges, and the electione of repr e sentatives—and a a ta country where such te of things exists can never have its:government founded o n suc h a so lid b as i s as t h a t which exists this country and the United theliberties States. It was to increase and the secu rity of the Crown that we in Hungary Nbieb endeavoured to widen a nd enlar g e the basis on ohurlConsti tution was founded, so as to includ e the and thereby give them an popu lation, inter w est o in e will God thmain taining social order.—(Cheers.) I hope to the development of the human intellectby anda by raise the doctrines of religious and political free dom all over the world, and that my poor country, continuing to confide its trust in God, may again take that place in the list of nations which its h onest and courageous endeavours entitle it to.—(Loud cheers.)

A meeting of the Hungarian committee was held n ight ; it was announced that the aigna large number of persons had been ob otufrdaavyery tained to the invitation to be given to Kossuth to pay o t u n r e S s a a visit to this town. The list of signatures embraces persons of all ranks, and (excepting the ultra-Tories) without any distinction of party or sect. It is un derstood that the illustrious Magyar has intimated his willingness to visit Birmingham if it was the general wish that he should do so, and that he will be enthu siastically received in the most democratic town in England there cannot be a doubt. A gentleman, who '033 taken a deep interest in the Hungarian cause, will be dispatched to Winchester for the pur pose of carrying the invitation to Kossuth himself. The following is the reply which Kossuth has sent to the chairman of the meeting at Glasgow who voted the great Magyar an address, and which address was presented to Kossuth by the Mayor of Southampton. The address has already appeared in our columns : " Winchester, Oct. 25. " Sir,—l have the honour to 'acknowledge with many thanks the receipt of an address lately adopted by a public meeting of the citizens of Glasgow, of which you were chairman. I beg you to accept personally, and to convey to your fellow-citizens, the expression of my warm appreciation both of the personal kindness you express and of the distinguished public spirit which cha racterises your address. It is with peculiar satisfaction that I notice the stress more than once emphatically laid by you upon the martyrdom which liberty has suffered through the incursion of the hordes of Russia into a land which has succeeded through many ages in maintaining her free institutions against those who have attacked them. It is too true, indeed, that it is to the interference of Russia that Hun gary owes the condition in which she now finds herself; but I hail your allusion to the Voice in the west,' as an earnest that no intervention of any foreign power, so unjustifiable and dangerous to the dearest interests of all free states, will on any future occasion be permitted by your nation—a nation so deeply interested in the maintenance of free institutions. You allude to ray own efforts in the past, and to the future, which lies before my country. In what I have done, I have striven to fulfil the duties which devolved upon me, so far as my powers enabled me to do. For the future, I look to it with hope, with a sure confidence. My countrymen have learned the value of the institutions which they have inherited through centuries, and which have been extended within late years to every class and race within the bounds of Hungary. The institutions which all have thus learned to value, and the whole body of my countrymen is ready to re-assert, and the time will not be long, I trust, before the hour for that re-as sertion shall come. "1 have the honour to be, Sir, with every sentiment of consideration, your obedient servant, " L. Tiossuni." The following is the reply which Kossuth has sent to the chairman of the meeting at Stafford which voted an address to the Hungarian leader, and which address was presented to Kossuth by the Mayor of Southampton. This address has also appeared in our columns : " Winchester, Oct. 25 " take the earliest opportunity of acknow ledging, through you, the address which the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Stafford have done me the honour of presenting to me, adopted at a public meeting held in that town on the Bth September, and signed by yourself as chairman. It is with feeling of (I hope) a generous pride that I acknowledge the truth of the testimony you bear to the achievements of my coun try men in the late struggle—a struggle in which we were successful until the intervention of one of the great powers of Europe took place in a manner alike unex pected by us, and dangerous as a precedent to all those nations which cherish free iustitutione, and are prepared to rely on their own efforts to maintain them. I feel also that it is a trust which it is of the highest import ance should be recognised, that in succumbing as our country has done to the intervention of Russia, we have fallen martyrs to the cause of Europe.' No free nation can do otherwise than have it forced upon its attention by the events that have now become a part of history, that if the institutions which it enjoys are to be maintained against danger of attack, it must actively pronounce itself against the recurrence of such interventions as that to which Hungary has fallen for the time a victim. We strug gled for no vague ideas, we were unwillingly forced to take up arm.; to defend for ourselves and for our children, against aggression and annihilation, those institutions and those liberties which our fathers have inherited and maintained and handed over to us through many cen turies, and the advantages of which we had already suc ceeded in extending in a peaceful and legal manner to the whole body of our countrymen, a circumstance which, as it has already attached all classes in Hungary to the Cause for which we struggled, fills me with hope that thoss to whom such institutions have thus become justly endeared, will yet hail the day of their country's restoration to freedom and independence. " I have the honour to be, Su., with every sentiment of consideration, your obedient servant, " L. KossuTH.” A cheap excursion train is to start from Norman ton, in Yorkshire, to-morrow, and to proceed all the way to Southampton, picking up passengers at the various stations, to join in the demonstration in favour of Kossuth when he attends the Southampton banquet.

How did he propose to do this ? By force ? by violence ? by revolutionary outbreak ? by intrigue ? No such thing. He proposed to do this by respectful representations to the SOVEREIGN himself. lie thus himself relates the proposals which he made : " I proposed, therefore, that we should meet these continued encroachments of the Government upon our rights by resuming the chief source of our rights. On the head of cur Sovereign two crowns were laid—one was a constitutional crown, the other was an absolute crown. These two crowns could never agree—they never could be united—which of them was to prevail history will show. Bat as we felt that the absolute crown was the source of all the encroachments on the constitutional rights of Hungary, and that so long as the two were united there could be no solidarity for the future of the nations, I proposed that it was our duty, as the elder brother of Austria, to go to the King, and to ask that he should restore the constitutional liberties of the other portions of his dominions, so as by this means to put aside the enchainment that had been put upon the constitutional rights of Hungary. That was what I proposed. I believe that no just man will charge me by this proposition of a measure which wns universally adopted by Parliament—no just man will cherge me that I was a Red Republican or planning revolution—on the contrary, I was doing the work of a true man, faithful to the rights of humanity. But this accusation will never meet with an echo in the breasts of generous Englishmen.—(Cheers.) My speech was translated into German; it was read in the coffee-houses and other public places, when the news of the French revolution came upon us, and the whole people started into revolt. That was the Austrian revolution. I frankly own, with the knowledge of these events, it was my desire not to be carried away by the elements, but to take the reins of the elements into my own hands, and to avail myself to the utmost of this opportunity which God had given, not Hungary had made.—(Cheers.) Our first proposi tion now was for the emancipation of the peasantry. — (Loud cheers.) Of course, in the circumstances, it was carried unanimously in both Houses. But I was anxious not to hurt the interests of any class, but rather to spare those which, though they might not be exactly just in their origin, yet by time. by circumstances, by the lapse of ages, had got interlaced with private for tunes, and I therefore proposed, and it was adopted unanimously, that the people should be free of all duties —free without paying for it—for liberty ought not to be paid for; but that at the same time there should be an indemnity, not for the peasantry, but for the land lords.—(Cheers.) There are ample resources for this in the land of Hungary, which by good financial operations might be made to give more than two or three times what it does now; and I engaged my honour and my word that a full indemnity should be given, and se the measure was carried unanimously. The second measure I proposed was, that, whereas before the poor had every duty and no rights, now an equality in duties and in rights should be restored, and that every man, accord ing to his fortunes, should be obliged to contribute to the public necessities.—(Cheers.) Tine measure was also carried unanimously. The third measure was, that the people should have the right of electing, not only the Members of Parliament, but that they should also elect the magistrates who were to administer the laws." Who are the men, we ask, who dare to denounce any of these three measures as revolutionary ? Surely no member of that party which acknowledges as its leader the man who emancipated the negro slaves in the West Indies, and imposed a burden of '20,000,0001. on the people of this country, as compensation to the owners, can venture to denounce KOSSUTH for hav ing emancipated the peasantry ; surely those who advocate financial reform, and who are constantly exclaiming that they must have protection because they are unfairly taxed, will not object to KOSSUTH that he laid down as his rule of government that every man should, according to his fortune, be obliged to contribute to the public necessities, and if he gave to the people the power of electing their magistrates he merely followed the example which the Parliament of England had set him when they carried the Municipalißeform Bill. Our space will not permit us, on the present occa sion, to follow him through his masterly exposure of the Austrian Court, inspired by the Archduchess Sorum, the mother of the EMPEROR, and the treason of the Serbs under JELLecuten,although we must observe, en passant, that to those conversant with the secret history of the Court of Vienna, the appearance of JELLACHICH, as Ban of Croatia, in arms against the Hungarians, was quite sufficient to prove to the initiated who was the chief of the in trigue then at work, and was well understood to be the forerunner of the deposition of the old Emperor FERDINAND, and of the inauguration as Emperor of Austria of the son of the Archduchess SOPHIA, FRANz JosEPH. We cannot, however, forbear from drawing attention to KOSSUTII'S vindication of his declaration of Hungarian independence, of his depo sition of the house of Hapsburg. Never has any great public act of justice been more completely, more triumphantly vindicated, and if we are..inclined to find any fault with KossuTar, it is not for publishing the declaration when he did, but for not having done it long before : the abdication of the Emperor FER DINAND bad left the throne of Hungary vacant, and KOSSUTH would have been amply justified in then de claring Hungary independent. He, however, bore with the treasons of the Austrian house for months longer, and he did not propose their decheance until the Emperor of AUSTRIA, by calling in the aid of the CZAR to crush the liberties of Hungary, had ceased to be an independent Sovereign, until the house of Hapsburgh had destroyed itself as a reigning house of Europe. As ; „ was justly mad eloquently observed by KossuTH, " the house of Hapsburgh as a dynasty is gone ;it exists no more—it merely vegetates. The EMPEROR can only act by the whim and will of his master, the CZAR." We trust this most eloquent,' and most convincing speech, which may be regarded as the manifesto of the Hungarian nation, will be reprinted under the superintendence of KOSSUTH himself, and circulated by thousands throughout the country, and we com mend it to the attentive study of our readers as the most important state paper that has appeared for years. a- The Government have not proved inexorable to the complaints which have been loudly made iu Ireland in reference to the consolidated annuities. A rumour which had been for some days prevalent in that coun try has now received a substantial confirmation, and the case of the most distressed unions has been taken into favourable consideration by the powers that be. From all unions which have been charged with a poor rate of four shillings and upwards during the past year, the quota of the Government debt will not be demanded for another year. In cases where rates to the above-mentioned amount of four shillings have not been levied, the unions so circumstanced will be called upon for the amount which constitutes the difference between the amount of rates for current local charges actually levied and the maximum of four shillings. This ought certainly to be received as a satisfactory arrangement, especially as it may be fairly inferred that should the same cause for postponement exist next year, or in any subsequent years, an indulgence of a similar na ture will be accorded. The Freeman's Journal, a usually well-informed authority, announces the arri• val on Friday in the Irish metropolis of the Treasury minute, arranging the details of the postponement, and which may shortly be expected to be published. This determination has been evidently very recently arrived at by the Government, for in a letter written by the Prime Minister's secretary, so late as Wednesday last, to Sir ROBERT DE Bunco, the chairman of the great provincial meeting in Munster, acknowledging the receipt of the memorial of the guardians of that province, the matter referred to therein is announced to be "under the consideration of the Government ;" and a letter of similar tenor was received likewise by the chairman of the Kilkenny board of guardians in answer to the memorial from that body. In the case of the latter body the Minis terial letter produced the result of postponing the official act of signing the rate-books for a week, nor did the spirit which was manifested in the speeches of the guardians lead to the inference that the book would be sig ned even at the expiration of that term, u nless a more satis factory reply were received f r om the Treasury. 1 The postponement of the usua l signature was car- ried without opposition, although the inconvenience of its adopti on was acknowledged. It is now, how ever, to be 1 loped that the aggrieved functionaries will take heart c , f grace, and not obstruct further the pro- per worki ;of the machinery which is under their control. G 'ut of the 163 unions into which Ireland is partitioned . under the Poor-law, it may be calculated that there are about 40 which will, under this ar- rangemen t. , be qualified to claim exemption from the Treasury i n the full from any payment in the present year, and it is probable that about an equal number will not 1)e compelled to contribute many pence to make up t ieir yearly rate to the magic sum of four shillings," requisite, according to the above statement of the forthcoming Minute, to be contri buted hry the ratepayers of all unions• It remain 6 to be seen how far this compliance on the part of th e.Government, which under existing circum stances w e cannot but regard as a liberal and judicious concessio 3, will succeed in soothing the angry ele ments wi rich have been industriously exasperated by Lord Lu C ox and CO. A well --abused Member of an Irish constituency, on whom th e vials of wrath were recently poured with unsparin; r hand by the "patriots" of Kinsale for his support c t the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, has laid aside his offici: el trammels. Mr. HAWES has resigned the Under-S ecreteryship of the Colonial department, and the office. thus vacated has been accepted by Mr- FREDERI (71( PEEL, the Member for Leominster. Whether Mr. HAWES'S resignation has been a vo luntary induced by a weariness of having to champion the unpopular proceedings of his:chief, or whether he has been imperiously dismissed, it is impos Bible at the moment to determine. A morning contemporary shrewdly enunciates that he has been made a scapegoat to carry away the sins of the Cc lionial-office from public animadversion, but we are xmch mistaken if the step will in the least better 0 re condition of the chief rock of offence, Earl GREY. :It is he who is popularly and properly re garded as. the great and real obstacle to a fitting recon struction. of our colonial relations, and in putting himself f orward in the Lower House as the exponent and uphi slder of Lord GREY'S generally ill-judged and obstinate: views of policy, Mr. Hawes exhibited a faithful ilevotion to his principal, for which he has now real aed the usual reward of those who lend them selves to do dirty work : when the orange is well sucked the rind is flung away. Nevertheless an easy cushion has been. provided for the ejected Secretary, and he now re ?oses as Deputy-Secretary at War in " the comfort able obscurity of a well-paid and permanent place," whence he can serenely smile at the dire de nunciatisons of the immaculate electors of his savoury borough.. The progress of emigration from the Irish shores goes on with ceaseless, nay, increasing rapidity. " The cry is, still they go." Flying from their natal soil to the more plenteous and wealthy shores of America, myriads of the much-abused Celts go to swell the ranks of an act:ei.e and in dustrio Cll3 population. In a land where idle ness is unknown the latent energy of the natiaanal character will not fail to be most advanta geously developed. Self-reliance and perseverance being fbund to be essential in that " go-a-head" land, we have no hesitation in expressing our full confidence in the future welfare of the great mass of the Irish emigrants, in whom America will receive a powerful accession of active spirits, whose descendants will form a startling contrast to the semi-civilized condition of their progenitors in the Emerald Isle. In reference to this continually augmenting connexion between the sister island and the great Republic, it gives us great pleasure to ob serve, at ae recent meeting of the town commis sioners in " the city of the Tribes," the chairman read a most cheering letter from Mr. JOHN J. HUGHES, of New York, dated the 9th instant, stating that 1.50,000/. had been subscribed, and four first-class steamers ready for the grand Transatlantic route from the Ne w World to the favoured port of Galway, and that his fellow-citizens now looked to Ireland for its support and assistance in the completion of the materials necessary for the arrangement of a company on a scale commensurate with the object in question. The Americans have their eyes on Galway, and look with anxiety to that enter prising contractor, Mr. DAEGAN, for carrying out works that will make its harbour complete in every sense of the word, and render it capable of receiving vessels of any sin or magni tude. It is the intention of the authorities there iunnediat sly to set about the necessary arrange ments to apply for a Royal charter of incorporation for a steam-packet company between Galway and America, and the American people await with anxiety the proceedings on this side. A reply from the Mayor of Belfast, addressed to him by the chairman of the Harbour Commissioners, is daily expected, and looked forward to with interest by the Galwegians. Whatever be the port selected for the establishment of a Transatlantic packet station, in that, and in every particular wherein the resources of Ireland can be brought forward to the promotion of her prosperity, our sincerest wishes are offered for the welfare of her denizens and children, wishes more generally entertained on this side of St. George's Channel than many ignorant or in terested individuals on the opposite shore wish to make it appear are existent in the English mind.

The clg jeziner given on Saturday by Mr. ANDuuwEs , the Mayor of Southampton, at his private residence, to Louis Kossurn and his friends, will be remem bered in after times as the occasion on which the English nation heard for the first time the true his tory of the causes and the circumstances attending the struggle of the Hungarians in defence of their glorious Constitution, against the usurpations of the traitorous and perjured Sovereigns of the house of Hapaburgh- Lorraine. It is to us matter of rejoicing that Kos- SIITH has taken this the earliest opportunity afforded him of narrating to the English people the history of Hungary's wrongs, and of at once sweeping away all those falsehoods which the unscrupulous merce naries of a perjured royalty had been for two years assiduously engaged in sowing broad cast throughout the length and breadth of the land. Clearly and con vincingly has Loins KOSSUTH proved that the struggle in which he was engaged was a struggle for the preservation of constitutional freedom; th it was from its commencement to its termination a conservative movement, in the truest and best sense of the word conservative ; a struggle for the mainte nance and conservation of a Constitution which had endured for upwards of 800 years against the revolu tionary attempts of a destructive and perjured despot. Never has public man offered so complete a vindica tion of every act of his political career as did LOUIS KOSSUTH on Saturday, when be appeared as the advo cate and vindicator of the Hungarian nation. Never had nation so eloquent and so convincing an advocate —never had advocate so excellent a cause. He showed that for upwards of 800 years Hungary had been a constitutional monarchy—that the house of Haps burgh was called to the throne of the Hungarian kingdom by the choice of the people and upon conditions, one of which was that the King should swear to respect and con• serve the Hungarian Constitution, and to govern Hun gary according to its own laws. This alone is suffi cient to convict of the most crass ignorance those who in this country pretend to draw a comparison between the agitators for the repeal of the Union with Ireland and the Hungarian patriot. Hungary never was united to Austria, never could and never can be united to Austria save by the commission of gross and palpable perjury on the part of the member of the house of Austria who shall at the time of such union be reigning over Hungary; therefore the de fenders of Austria who take up this ground de clare, by the very nature of such defence, that the Sovereign whose cause they advocate is perjured. The Hungarian movement has been described by the solelytry,occasionedB4B;s by t partisans of Austrian a b so luti s m and obscurantism as the outbreak in akFebru ary, au uTa, however,proves Paris in that d been going on for upwards of a century ; that the different Princes of the house of Hapsburgh bad successively endeavoured to encroach upon the con stitutional privileges of the Hungari •an nation ; that these endeavours had been constantly repelled; that the struggle between the Hungarian people and the Austrian bureaucrats had been continuous since 1825 ; and that in 1836, after a struggle of five years, a reform of the Constitution,ango gous to, butnos LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.

London Terminus, Oct. 27, 1851. THE WEATHER. IN THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND. — High winds seem to have been general over the north, and both the Morayshire and Caithness papers take notice of the violence of the gales. It is satisfactory, however, to know that little grain remained exposed to the adverse influences, excepting in those western parts of the country where the crops are generally late. In all other parts of the north the grain crops were secured in tine condition, and the reports of the yield at the mill are decidedly favourable. Potato-lifting goes on briskly ; and we hear little of disease, excepting from a distance. A considerable quantity of rain has fallen, and the Ness now runs in a broad majestic flood, contrasting most favourably with the small, gentle, scarcely-moving stream which it was lately and for so long a time past. REPRESENTATION OF KILKENNY.--WE learn that Sergeant Shee intends to offer himself to the constituency of the county Kilkenny, in the room of the Hon. P. S. Butler, the present Member, who, with his family, is said to be about to emigrate to America. The llon. Mr. Butler belongs to the once princely house of Mountgarret.—D aily Express. - - - • LOLA MONTES.—The much talked-of engagement of Lola Montes with Mr. Barnum, has, it appears, not been concluded, as the lady in question has been dancing at se ♦eral of the provincial theatres, and lately at Lyons, but without success. The Salut Public of Lyons publishes a warlike epistle from the Countess to Dr. Vernon (of the Constitutionnel), in consequenc eof some sarcastic remarks upon her in his journal, in which she warns the doctor that, in case of the attacks upon her being continued in the Constitutinne 1, she will send him a challenge to fight a duel—not with sword or pistol, but arms more familiar to him—two pills—one of them poisoned; each of the comba tants to swallow one ! Whether this letter be bona fide, or a pleasantry on the part of the Salut Public, we have no means of knowing, but the joke is a good one.— Galignani, Thursday, being the half-yearly sacramental fast, was held here in the usual decorous manner, the shops being all shut and business entirely suspended. The churches were well attended both forenoon and afternoon, though the favourable character of the weather induced many parties to leave town in the early part of the day. The Caledinian Railway, which ran cheap excursion trains:to Carlisle and back, was remarkably well patronised, and the other lines felt also a perceptible increase on their ordinary business. But the great outlet for the migratory population was the river, the steamers on which, from a pretty early hour in the morning up till two o'clock in the afternoon, left the Broomielaw packed from stem to stern with their living freight. At least twenty boats quitted the quay during the time specified ; and, if the moderate average of 400 passengers per boat be taken for each steamer, no fewer than 8,000 in dividuals left Glasgow by this mode of conveyance.— Glasgow Mail. Mr. Edward Joseph Darley is appointed a member of the Legislative Council of Ceylon, during the temporary absence of Mr. James Swan. After a pause of some dur a ti on , th e Lit erary G u ild theatricals are about to recommence. Bath and Bristol will be the provincial towns first visited by the amateurs. MONSTER BOILER.—A boiler of immense size was drawn through the streets yesterday on a waggon, to which were attached no less than twenty h orses . Thi s huge ma chine is, in fact, only one-fourth part of the entire boiler, which weighs upwards of eighty tons, and is intended for an iron frigate at present in course of construction at Birken head.—Liverpool .lournal. THE PRICE OF A Box OF TOFFEE.—Mrs. Sandi ford of Everton village, presented to the young Princess and Princess, through the Coantess of Sefton, a box of toffee. its receipt, Majesty has directed Colonel Phipps to acknowledge receipt, and to forward 51. for her acceptance in return. Circulars have been issued from qv. Horne-office, in pursuance of a Parliamentary address, to all the town clerks in the kingdom, requiring a return of all municipal electors within their respective boroughs. OCTOBER 27, 1851. THE FRE NCII RE PUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Ministerial crisis still continues. M. BIL LAULT, who was sent for by the PRESIDENT for the third time on Thursday, has again withdrawn. His failure is thus announced in the Patric : " The combinations in which M. Billault was to have entered had been reserved ; it has again, and defini tively, failed. The negotiations with M. Billault are broken. We are assured that several of his proposed colleagues refused to join him. They thought that his name would not offer sufficient guarantees to the men of order." The PRESIDENT sent yesterday for M. Ducos. The Ordre gives the following account of these various negotiations : " Nothing is changed with respect to the actual state of affairs. The programme continues to be the great scarecrow before which the most resolute draw back. M. Ducos has just done what M. Augustin Giraud did two days ago; be has withdrawn on learning all the exi gencies which were imposed on the new Ministers, and his refusal has been the more sensibly felt at the Elys4, , , as M. Fould had taken the trouble to call on him twice at his apartment in the Rue Caumartin, in order to ob- Lain his consent. It is not one of the least curious symp toms of the present crisis to see M. Fould become one of the most active agents of the new combination at the moment even that he resigns his portfolio on the pretext of his sincere attachment to the law of May 31. This is not, however, tho moment for discussing this eccentricity; we shall return to it hereafter. We shall simply,istate that the refusal of M. Ducos has rendered impossible the definitive formation of the Cabinet, which it had been hoped to have announced this day officially in the illoniteur, Everything is again placed in doubt, and a proof of the difficulties which have been met with is that M. Lacrosse has been sent for. The crisis, it may be seen, is far from drawing to its close. The only Ministers whose acceptance can be relied on at this moment are MM. Billault, Saint Arnaud, de Bourjolly, Casabiacca, and Fortoul. M. Megne, who had hitherto appeared disposed to retain the portfollio of Public Works, now begins, it is said, to hesitate. On the other hand M. de Turgot, who had, whatever may be said to the contrary by certain journals, accepted the portfolio of Agriculture and Commerce, now declares that he could not consent to be the colleague of M. Billault. The Ministerial interregnum may, therefore, be indefi nitely prolonged, in spite of the general impatience which begins to be manifested on the subject. As to the Prefecture of Police, the chances now appear to be in favour of M. Pi6:ri." The Prefect of the Creuse has suspended M. CON CATON, Mayor of Royere, for presiding at a patriotic dinner lately given to M. NADAUD, a representative of the Mountain. _ _ The Journal de l'inlre announces that M. VA , . LETTE, a carpenter, of Chateaurous, was to be prose cuted for having refused to assist in erecting a guil lotine when legally summoned by the Mayor of the town. The Marquis DE PASTORET had a mass celebrated yesterday in the chapel of his hotel, Place de la Concorde, for the repose of the soul of the Duchoe D'ANGOOLEME. It was attended by the Duke of PARMA, father of the reigning Duke, General LA IIITTE, Admiral MacKau, and several other person ages of distinction. The Five per Cents. were done at the Boulevard at 90f. 75c. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Oar. 24. . . Boulogne and Amiens, 10—Namur and Liege, 6—West Flanders, 1%.

GE LIMAN Y. The Military Journal of Prussia notices the in creased attention paid to the condition of the different fortresses of the continent, and endeavours to justify it as a necessary precaution. It considers the doc trine of the unimportance of fortified places, created by , NAPOLEON'S system of war, as exploded by later ex perience. It asks— " What has become of the time when it was the fashion to say, ' We have no need of fortresses; Napoleonproved that these heaps of earth and stone are useless; we leave them behind and march direct on the capitals.' Such were the phrases in vogue immediately after the close of the war of Liberation, and in the' twenties,' such was the general opinion, shared even by experienced officers. The first shock the idea received was given by old General Chasse and the citadel of Antwerp.: Since 1848 the principle has been quite abandoned, and ap pears likely to give place to its direct opposite. The fortifications of Paris—those excellent positions, if there is a good commander in every fort, that great folly, if only one commander does not do his duty —was the be ginning of the change. Look at what Austria is doing, and must do in Italy, and it will be comprehended that fortresses will play a chief part in any future war. * * * But not in Austria alone—everywhere the ne cessity of such strong points is recognized, and unhap pily, mostly against internal foes. Wherever we look, spade and trowel are labouring against future balk, and if the si f rnatura tempo? is do not deceive us, such defences will be wanted." ITALY. The Italian papers received this morning contain no confirmation of the news of the illness and demise of his Holiness the POPE ; and no telegraphic dis patch, as was rumoured, has been received by the French Government on the subject. Grand military evolutions are now being executed by the garrison of Genoa, for the purpose of exer cising the troops in the preliminary operations of a siege. They commenced on the 20th. Prince NiiromucErm, father of H.R.H. the Duchess of GENOA, arrived at Turin on the 21st, with his con sort, Princess AUGUSTA of Bavaria. The Milan Gazette, of the 20th,;publishes:the con vention concluded between Austria, Modena, Parma, and Tuscany, for the construction of the railroad which is to connect those states with the lines of Lombardy. The Prince CABIN' has been appointed Neapolitan Ambassador to London in the room of the Prince of CASTELCICALA. The chains of the unfortunate POERIO have been replaced by order of the Government, not withstanding his severe illness. FURTHER SEARCH FOR SIR. JOHN FRANKLIN.-- 'We believe there is no truth in the report that the Admiralty have yet decided on renewing the search for Sir J. Franklin and his party in the ensuing spring. In all probability their Lordships' decision will depend on the report of the com mittee appointed by their Lordships to consider the reports of Captain Austin, C. 8., and Captain Penny, and to exa mine the officers late of the expeditions under the above chiefs. The committee, as we stated on Saturday, com mence their labours this day.—Herald. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON.—The long and much-needed erection of the east wing of this charity is now in progress. Limited contracts have been entered into by the board, and, by the continued support of the public, the completion of the hospital may now certainly be anticipated at no very distant period. The erection of the structure in carcase is to be completed by December in next year, by which time it is hoped the funds will have sufficiently increased to justity further steps towards completion. THE SOI-DISANT BARONESS VON BECK.-Mr. Toulmin Smith has forwarded the subjoined letter to the papers, with the single remark that " it of course settles the matter:"—" Southampton, Oct. 24.—Dear Sir, in reply to your note I beg leave to assure you that the name of Baroness von Beck' is utterly unknown to me, There was a person named Racidula' employed by my Government as a spy, whom I saw twice in my life, and gave some special instructions to as a spy. That is all I know about her. I am, sir, with the highest regard, your obedient servant, L. KOSSUTH. To J. Toulmin Smith, Esq., Highgate."; THE ENSUING MICHAELMAS' TERM.—On Saturday appeared the list of arrears of the Court of Common Pleas, containing only two" matters, and maktng, with the other common law courts (as mentioned in The Sun), the arrears to number only fifty-six rules. The arrears of the Court of Chancery are in a very different condition, numbering about 1 ,000. The Lord Chancellor will regulate the sittings of the appeal judges, and they are expected to sit in the court used by his Honour Knight Bruce, now one of the Lords Justices. Kossuth will attend at the Guildhall, at twelve o'clock on Thursday next, to receive the address of the Cor poration of London. The members of the Common Council have been summoned to attend at the above place and hour, to witness the ceremony. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—On Saturday evening a performance took place at this theatre for the benefit of Mr. Henry Bennett, the stage manager ot the Printers' Dra matic Society, who certainly must have been gratified to witness the large and resp ectable " house" that assembled on the occasion. The " event" of the night was the deb u t Georgesin t Juliet, a part which sh e ren dered a flattering p rom i se of Madame in a manner AnnA nn a well calculated of future histrionic success, and when called before the cur tain several bouquets were thrown to her. hi Box and Cox, which followed, Mr. Bennett appeared as the printer, and he added considerable zest to the character by the introduction of several professional allusions, which appeared to be greatly relished by the audience. Jerrold's drama of The Rent Da y, which was well performe d, concluded t h e evening's enter tainment. REFUSAL OF THE GOVERNMENT TO POSTPONE THE Hor DUTY.—The Chancellor of the Exche quer, Sir Ch ar l es Wood, has returned the following answer to the hop-growers memorial : " Downing-street, October 20, 1831.
