AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The following memorial has been presented to Lord
John Russell and Viscount Palmerston. It is signed,
as will be seen, by members of blth houses of parlia-
ment holding various shades of political opinion :
We, the undersigned, desire to express to your lordships,
and through your lordship. to the rest of her Majestv's con-
fidential servants, the deep interest which we have taken in
the contest which hu been recently miffed on between the
Hungarian nation and the Emperor of Austria. Not ler
deep a the interest which we now take in the final settle-
ment of the question at issue between them, and in the per-
manent pacification of that great country. Sincerely at-
tached to the liberties of oar own country, the final nub.
lishment of which is due to the successful termination of
struggles analogous to that' which have been made from
time to time in Hungary—with equal sincerity desirous of
maintaining the peace of Europe, we are fully sensible of the
great importance that the settlement of the questions at issue
should be effected in a manner, and upon terms, satisfactory
to the Hungarian natioc, not only for the sake of Hungary
herself, but because we apprehend that a settlement unsatis-
factory to the country, will sow the seed of renewed discon-
tent, may lead to fresh local disturbances, and by the local
disturbance of so large an element of the European system,
mar endanger the tranquillity of the whole.
The objects of the undersigned are, internal liberty—
national independence—European peace. For the attain.
ment of these objects we trust the clurt of Vienna will bear
in mind that the satisfaction and contentment of Hungary
will afford the greatest security. Considering, however, the
means by which the authority of the House of Hapsburg has
been re-established, the undersigned are of opinion that the
occasion permits, even if it does not call for, the intervention
of Great Britain, in oounselling the Austrian government
respecting the exercise of its restored executive power. With
respect to the mode and opportunity of interfering, the un
dersigned offer no specific opinion, but we hope that her
Majesty's government will not shriek from suggesting to
that of Austria, that, since republican France has abolished
capital punishments for political offences, it will net be wise
to allow a contrast to be drawn unfavourable to the clemency
of monarchical governments.

FORGERY ON THE DARLINGTON BANE.—Oft Mon-
day last considerable excitement was created is Darlington
by the discovery of a forgery upon the house of ?d, sire.
Jonathan Backbones and Co. During the previous Saturday,
a person, having the appearance of a horse dealer, made a
great number of email purchases of different tradesmen and
publicans, in each case offering a 61. note for payment, and
requesting change. In every et se where this was ascertained
the note has been pronounced fictitious. On the game day a
number of similar notes were
and
without detection at
Stockton, Middlesborough, and Richmond, doubtless by
members of the same gang. Some members of the same
gang visited this city
.on Saturday, and succeeded in the
course of that evening in passing at least 13 of the forged
notes by the same means as their confederates employed in
other places. We learn from our cones}, ,ndents that Sun-
derland, Bishop Auckland, Richmond, Northallenon, and a
few other towns have been visited ; but it will be satisfactory
IU the public to know that, as fares has yet been ascertained,
the entire number of notes issued by these adventurers is by
I no means con<iderable.—Durham Chronicle.
INQUEST ON THE REV. P. STRONG.—The ex-
tremely sudden death of the Rev. Philip Strong, rector of
Mile-end, Colchester and senior rural dean of Lvxden, cc-
marring last Wednesday evening, as already noticed, led to an
inquest, which was held upon the body on Friday afternoon.
The two first witneues examined—Eliza Nevard, housemaid
in the family of the deceased, and James Smith, footman—
showed that on Wednesday night, soon after 10 o'clock, as
the rev. gentleman was conducting family devotion, and was
uttering the first two words of the Lord's prayer, his voice
suddenly ceased, and he fell down and instantly expired. He
had previously had several enacts of illness, resembling
fainting fits. The next witness, A. Partridge, Eaq., surgeon,
gave it as his opinion that the deceased had died of at roue
spopiny ; it was possible, he said, that the heart (as was
currently reported) might have had somethine to do with it,
hut he had not found symptoms of any such affection. Some
darn or four yean ago deceased was ill, and sought the ad-
vice of Dr. Watson, who suspected that something was
wrong with the heart, but could not find proof of it. Ver-
dict, " Died by the visitation of God."
