PESTH, Nov. 24.

At a difference of members of the Hungarian
Diet, held at the residence of M. Deak, to discuss
the course that should be pursued with reference
to the royal rescript, M. Deak made a speech, in
which he said, that from the point of view of the
" continuity of rights," the rescript afforded far
greater cause for hope than had hitherto existed.
He moved an address to the King, praying that the
laws of 1848 should be re-established, and de-
claring that the Diet would not fail to take into
consideration the wishes expressed by the King.
The proposed address would further declare that
the committee on common affairs should continue

'NATIONAL EDIICATION.—The Hon. H. A. Bruce
M.P., has published in a pamphlet, at Ridgway's, the
Address on National Education which he delivered at
Manchester last month before the Association for the
Promotion of Social Science. The address was well worth
republication in this form. A collection of the speeches
of successive Vice-Presidents of the Committee of Council
on Education on that subject during the last sic or seven
years would be very useful for many purposes; among
others for showing the direction which opinion uniformly
takes among cultivated laymen, when the question of
" National Education" is studied under public responsi-
bilities.
THE NEUTRALITY LAWS COMMISSION.—We have
reason to believe that the arrangements connected with the
formation of the It yal Commission upon the Neutrality
Laws are so forward that the commission will be able to
proceed to business very shortly. Although without any
official authority for saying so, we believe it will be found
that the following gentlemen have been communicated
with by the government, and will be, in all probability,
among the members of the commission, viz., Lord
Houghton, Sir RoundeU Palmer, late Attorney-General;
Sir R. Phillimore, the Queen's Advocate ; Dr. Travers
Twiss, Q.C. ; Mr. W. H. Gregory, M.P. ; and Mr. W.
Vernon Harcourt, Q.C. As has been already announced,
Lord Crsnworth will be the president.—Suaday Gazette.
WILTON, Wwrsains. —There are at the present
time ten old men who are inmates of our union workhouse
whose united ages exceed 860 years. The oldest is 93, and
the youngest is upwards of 80 years of age.—Solisbery
