THL WIIITIIRN BANK.— At the dole of business on
Thomelay afternoon upwards of three-quarters of a
million sterling had been paid towards the /1,100 call,
and him 111111411 are daily dropping in. In oonuesion
with this subject we Way state that summonses of deip
hirotoe, relief, and payment against the Western Bank,
the liquidators, and many of the gentlemen who for.
men held the aloe of diructors, have just been raised

burgh, and Mr. Colin Dunlop Wilson, of tit. Vinoent-
street, Glasgow, concluding for repayment of the price

date, I. quite irrespective of and unconnected with the
action about to be relied against the directors at the in.
stenos of the liquidators, and which we should have
thought. In aeoortlanoe with the best interests of the
shareholders themeless, should haveimpersoded all other
motions.

Till "01111101111 TON YOASO" Or HUNOAM—On
Monday evening week, M. Nomuth dellverml a !Mum
on " Hungary, in oonnexion with the condition and
general Interest* of Europe," In prawn.' of e numm
Nue eudienos, lit the N04104'1011, IS,dinburgh. He said
—" Nine year. full of woe torture, and misery hove
rolled by since Hungary, deprived uf her freedom,
Maim, and national eilatanoe, lies prostrate on the cold
atone of polities' slavery. It 111 the third time now during
a history of e thousand yeare. The flrst time it was
under Leopold 1., In the eirenteeth century. The
wand Owe 10 was under Julep!' 11., 111 the eighteenth
oentutry. Both times under the !humbugs, of alum.
I oannot help deriving hope and aonlidenoe from the
feet that on each of these occasions the lawless prairie.
tion of my country did not last longer than mostly ten
year'. I trust the spirit of our fathers has not en die
m;srteml from our generation se to allow the present
degradation to last malt longer ; only that this time the
making op of the amount* will be different, of amuse.
m Our fathers tried oopromise, and were deceived. You

The remedy of 'Loyal oath was tried over and over again.
Esolm new oath brought ten new perjuries. The thread

It again. That's over now, but the numinous ten years
are not over yet. Oh, Thou who must the destinies of

of a lengthened lecture k. Koseuth expreesed great con.
lidenee for the future as to the side on which
Britain's sympathies would be shown, from the increase
of the independent Libm al party in the House of
Common'.
