BOROUGH NIARKET.-THIS DAY.

Mo•ars. l'attentlen and Smith report that the demand for
all choice Hops continues unabated, and such nre already
becoming very scarce. 'Cho duty is not yet declared, but is

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Last Monday's improvement in trade has caused a con-
siderably-increased supply of Beasts to this day's market.
There is consequently a slight reaction, but the choicest
descriptions still Mali° 3s. Bd., the reduction being chiefly
discernable in inferior qualities. The number of Sheep is
small—equal, however, to the demand, and we are not
enabled to quote higher prices ; a few of the choicest kinds
may be stated the turn dearer. Good Calves are freely dis-
posed of, at fully late rates. From Germany and Holland
there were 1,612 Beasts 4,680 Sheep, and 168 Calves ; and
2,0.30 Beasts from the Northern and Midland Counties.

LONDON, MONDAY. NOVEMBER 3.

THE Spectator is the most impassive of political
organs. Nothing stirs, nothing moves it,—nor clo-
quence, nor courage, nor grievous wrong, nor genius,
nor a great cruse nobly sustained. \l'c can well
understand people who execrate Rosstrif, who
abhor insurrection even in the best of causes, who
think that the only duty or the only happiness
of a commonalty is to resemble sheep as
much as possible,—easily guided, easily followed,
shurn without murmur, and killed without com-
plaint. We perfectly understand those who think
ICce;surn a pestilent and troublesome fellow, bF-
um he speaks political philosophy to all classes in
ca
such simple languor, and with such truthful earnest-
ness that reach every understanding and every
heart. We understand aversion to Kossurn in
thoss who venerate an ancient court, and
who with pain would sec disturbed the ruins
which remain of the Holy Roman Empire. We can
conceive a horror of KOsSUTH in those who look
upon Itunsia as the befitting guardian of Europe,
who thank the CZAR fur having once more put
together the tessielated provinces and despotisms of
Austria, and enabled this same despotic and Catholic
Austria to tread down the old rights as well as the
new aspirations of constitutional and protestant
Germany.
We can also understand the enthusiasm of the
brave, the hopeful, the young, and the liberal, for
Kossern. Hut we must confeas not to be able to
comprehend a juste milieu in such a case. The half
smile of approbation and the half sneer of censure in
which the Spectator, at almost the same moment, in-
dulges, betrays irresolution, not judgment. And the
facts of the case, as well as the character of the man,
are both too well ascertained to admit of doubt or
hesitation.
The Spectator, however, directs its hostility less to
the man than against the principle. liosse ries
principle is neither more nor less than non-interven-
tion, adopted by one's own country, and forced upon
others as a meat international law. liossent says
that the principle can be enforced without war, and
we agree with him. For how is the interven-
tion principle enforced ? By the alliance
and counting' accord of all the despotic
lowers. Russia, Austria, and Prussia, support each
other, is the pretensions to invade and occupy any
and every country, however nominally independent,
that dares to develop constitutional or popular liber-
ties. To this pretension France truckles and England
bows, because they are not united, because public
opinion is not sufficiently informed and alive in the
tws countries to the necessity of maintaining the
gnat principle. But wens. France, England, and
the United States as agreed to maintain non-inter-
vention as the despotic owers to practise it, France,
England, and the United States would pre% ail. Russia
durst nut stir, and dare not march an army even
into Hungary. The way to arrive at this accord
bt:tween cumistitutional countries is to inform and
awaken public opinion on the subject. This is the
mission of Loris KOSSUTH. And a more noble one
was never undertaken by an individual.
That the Nreetotor, therefore, says of war, is idle.
It raises, however, another objection. It seems to ad-
mit non-intervention as a just principle to be applied
to a state that is compact, like France or Spain.
There, saith the Sioetator, you must not intervene;
but in federal states, or in empires composed of seve-
ral provinces, like Austria or England, there, if a
province rebels or resists, the sovereign or chief
government may call in the aid of a powerful n eigh-
bour to reduce the province. Thus if Queen N IC-
TOILIA were to destroy the constitutional rights Of
the Irish, she would have a right to
tall upon the French to :mid her in carrying
out the tyrannie resolution. Hungary, history tells
us, was never a province of Au.stria. It merely
chose the Emperor of Austin.% to be its sovereign,
with distinct laws and a distinct constitution. The
Pirrrialor cares nothing for all this: it treats histo-
rind distinctions and facts as mere footstools to be
knocked aside, and declares that Hungary is a pro-
vince of Austria, which is false, and that being a
province of Austria. the latter has a right to call
on foreign aid to reduce it. We must any, that
we have not read in any journal so complete a per-
version of facts, such an utter contempt for all
liberty and all right; nor did MACIttAvEL himself
ever propound a theory so baseless, so perfidious, and
so immoral.

- .
e turn with pleasure from such casuistry to the
broad principles, the frank and noble ►anguage of
Kosserit himself, such as we tied in his address to
the people of the United States, which has reached
as by yesterday's mail. This document is un eloquent
answer to most of the objections that have of late
been raised against his policy and his character.
It has been said, for instance, that hosst•rn is a
rank democrat and republican, who, whilst he
avowed such principles at Marseilles, cunningly
veils them in England. But listen to what
KOSSUTH said whilst still in captivity ; long
Cie he was set free to visit the different coun-
tries of the world. This address was written in
!ILIA], Is:" at Minna', when KON,UTII was still
fresh from Ilun,gary, and when nu Engli•huan was
at Lila to dictate caution or recommend dissimula-
tion. KlbrOO' rut. moreover, knew that he was ad-
dressing a republican people, yet what was his lan-
guage ?

The Hungarian nation loved freedoms u the hest gift of
(boil. hut it never thought of commencing a crusade against
hoots in the name of laxity. In Hungary there were nuns
of those propagandists who alarm so much the rulers of the
Ohl World. There were no *erect societies plotting cousin.-
Twits. My countrymen were nut inetwenced by the thrones
of communists or socialists, nor were they what the tenser-
vatuc. CAI anarchists. The nation desired justice, and
knew how to he just to all, irrespective of rank, language,
or ri halms. A people so worthy of freedom were generous
enough to leave something to time. and to be %Maned with
a progressive development. No violence was used ; no jest
right was at!eekeil; and even some of those institutions
.

were left undisturbed which, in their principle and origin,
were unjust. hut which, having existed for centuries, could
not be abolished at once with impunity.
The Hungarian people did not wish to oppress any—not
seen the aristocracy : they were more ready to mate surf-
ers, than to punish the descendants of nobility for the evils
of nsisgoserninent. and of those institutions which emanated
from their ancestors ; nor would they let the many suffer (or
the sins of the few.

There was no anarchy amongst us. Even in the bloodiest
conflict., when the human paesions are most excited, there
wis. the matt perfect order and security of property and
person. flow did the conduct of my noble counmen
compare with that of the "order-ranking Austria." When-
ever the whirlwind of war ceased for a while where the so-
cial elements were left in chaos, the instinctive moral feel-
lags of this incorruptible people, in the abeertee of all go-
vernment. preserved better order and safety than legions of
police. A common spirit animated the whole nation—no
secret aims, no personal or local attacks, hut a bold and
open defence iti the face of the world. Following the ex-
ample of your great Wisshingtou,we adopted, as our policy,
conciliation, justice, and legality, and scrupulously observed
the laws of nations.
This address of Kosst-rit's from Broussa may be
said to be the soliloquy of the nublo captive, and to
be the natural and warm expression of his heart.
Compare it with all ho has said since his visit to
England, and the facts, sentiments, arguments, prin-
ciples. will be found precisely the same. Never was
greater sincerity of thought, greater oneness of aim
—a proud and convincing refutation of the principal
charge brought here agtunst him by his detractors.

Tire news from north-western India is anything
but pacific. Goot.vn Stay's continued illness had
already given rise to the fears of a disputed succes-
sion in Jummoo and Cashmere. DOST MOHAMMED
had once more taken horse, and marched to Herat,
whilst this expedition to the west did not prevent
his raising troops and paying the mountain tribes to
open him the passes towards our trans-Indus
frontier.
The evil consequences of our not having fixed
a definitive frontier arc already apparent. For
taking as ours the old vague line of demarcation
between Sikhs and Affghans cannot but lead to last-
ing uncertainty and eternal feuds. Whilst the
Affghau chiefs might remain comparatively indifferent
