A perfeetly new branch of trade appears likely to arise
from these rivers, which, properly encouraged, might become
of natioaal importance. I refer to the luxuriant growth of
cotton la the interior of the country. Every house that I
passed bad large *applies of this useful a ,rthle, with which
the women make those strong and lasting clothes that are so
much admired by the natives. I am not sufficiently ao-
quainted with the plant to judge as to its degree of excel-
leue, bat the fields that I myself poised through up tit*
Kasuirit, were apparently in luxuriant growth, and the
cotton itself of ezcolleut quality.
There is never much news from Sarawak, for all is quiet
and prosperous there; the church is advencing, and in the
sures of a few months we trust Divine Service will be per.
formed there. It will be a pretty building, of billion wood,
and is situated en a slight eminence overlooking the loan.
I was surprised by observing the low amount of trade that
Is said to arrive from Borneo to the Straits, for I am con-
vinced that nearly, if not mnre than, the whole of that
amount leaves Sarawak for Singapore. I should have
imagthed, from the numerous prshus that leas the coast,
and the trade from Brune, that there were as many millions
as the official report mentions hundreds of Blossom's.

LORD DUDLEY STUART AND THE HUN-
GARIAN REFUGEES.

The following lather has been lately addressed to
Lord Dudley Stuart by Count Tekki, General Klapka,
and Francis Eulnky, in the name of the Hungarian
livitveLoari,—ln the name of ourselves, and all
our countrymen, who were fortunate enough to escape
the Austrian bullets and gallows, we venture to ex-
press our gratefulness. We most warmly thank you,
not only for the noble generosity with which you, my
lord, advocated the cause of our unhappy country, but
likewise for the kindness with which you cared for
the most urgent necessities of those of oar country-
men, who could save nothing but their bare liver.
Ours is not the first instance in which you proved the
champion of liberty, justice, and humanity. Ever
alive to the rights of the oppressed, you freely sup-
ported them, never yielding to the sophistry of abeo-
Mem, which so readily assumes a plausible pretext
Sir.taethsswiag easiest right., trestles, and eonsti-
Intions, for fadividsal liberty and destroying
Municipal self government. You, my lord, recog-
nised at an earl period that Austria, once deemed
neesmary for the balance of power in Europe, could
no more be oonsielered so, when it submits to become
not only in policy and feeling, but also in material
obligations, the meal of Russia. We trust that the
truths your generous mind freely expressed, cannot
fail to be accepted by every friend of freedom,
progress, and civilisation ; and that those principles
soon will become the basis of a policy of justice and
sincerity, on which aloes lasting pesos can be in-
sured. With such views we contemplate the future.
For the present several of our countrymen have deter-
mined to seek in America the livelihood denied to them
on this side of the Atlantic. Others amongst ns hope to
gain in England, Franoe, Lierniany, and Belgium, the
means of existence. In spite of the difficulties to find
employment in countries excelling in every kind of alai-
lines, yet with earnest purpose on your part, and the
benefit of your kind support, we look with confidence
on the days to come. The steadiness of the English
assaster warrants that the sympathy awakened by
the struggle of Hungary will not be carried awry by
dis tide of events, and will ever kindly remember
cast only those of us blessed with English hospitality,
Ind those who have found shelter in France, Ger-
many, and Belgium, but no less those who, regardless
et *tiee and pledgee, are detained in Asia.
We beg, with sincere gratitude, to be allowed to
tribe ourselves, your lordship's most sincerely,
" COUNT L. Thum.
" G. %LANKA.
" FRANCIS FULSZKY."
