HUNGARY.

The Chamber of Deputies was constituted on
the 19th inst. The president by seniority, Ladislaa
Palvesy, spoke briefly on resigning the chair to
the
.president elect. To-day," he said, "is the
anniversary of the day on which the laws of 1848
on which the safety of, the country rests, receive&
the sanction of King Ferdinand." The new presi-
dent said
Hungary is at present like a ship beaten on by stems;
but she us yet able to encounter fresh ones, and to come
into port, thanks to the constancy and fidelity of hex
Chimes. The mission of the Diet presents difficulties of two
kinds, internal and external. The fundamental principle*
on which there should be no difference of opinion are—
equality before the law; respect for the legitimate claims of
the nationalities ; the autonomy and territorial integrity of
the country. I cannot coaxal my grief at not seeing in
this place our kindred and beloved friends, the represents..
tires of Croatia, Slavonia, the military confines and Plaine; I
to whom it belongs incontestably to take part in the Imula. •
tion, as well 1111 in the nomination of the bureau of the
chamber.

The speaker promised for himself and the vice.
presidents and secretaries that they would resign as
soon as the representatives in question should take
their seats in the assembly. The first, friee-presi-
dent said :

The task we have to accomplish is truly a difficult oes,
almost beyond human strength. It is not sufficient now
that we should be courageous personally, we must be so
politically ; yet we must abstain from all rashness.
Before the sitting concluded the president an-
nounced that he had received letters from two
elected representatives, M. Simonyi, refugee in
London, and K Pulszky, refugee at Turin, begging
him to remove the obstacles to their taking their '
places in the chamber.
A letter from Pesth of the 18th says :
A conference was held yesterday in the house of Count'
E. Csrolyi, on the question of the emancipation of the Jews.
The chief rabbis of Teeth and &Nadia, and a number of •
the principal Jews of the former city, were present at it..
The comet declared that the majority of the Diet would:;
certainly vote for the emancipation of the Jews, but hir-
prayedthe Israelite' to state what measures they thoa&j;
best calculated to remove the objections which would
made to it. The Jews suggested certain restrictions on Sew •
migration, consisting, for instance, in not according be
Israelites the right of establishing themselves in the'
country, unless they could prove that they powered a hew;
tun* of 10,000 goring, or could exercise • trails, or knese.;

the Ifunganan language and costume; insisting oir"Z

POLAND.

A Warsaw letter, 17th, in the Dirkla, says :
The authorities will not allow us to inter our deed ; they
prevent our wives and daughters from tending their eons
and brothers confined in the citadel. They forbid us to
runt those wbo are missing from our ranks ; but they will
sot succeed in stifling our reminiscress. What adds to
the bitterness of the general feeling is the uncertainty r to'
the fate of those who have disappeared. Are they only.'
primers? Are they wounded ? Or are they dead ? Neils
can say. Forty women have been released. Bat the news
that a convoy of prisoners had been taken to Modlin has
thrown many families into consternation ; it is feared that
Lain will be only the first stage on their way to
Siberia. Add to this the puerile animosity of the authori.
ties pint all asablems of mourning. Women and children
are pursued. ill-treated, and sabred ; none are allowed to
wear mourning in the streets without a special permission.
Here is • copy of that delivered to the English consul,
who it ha mourning for the Duchess of Rent .1—" The'
bearer of the present, M. N., may weer mourning and ham

country, the creation of a Council of State, the members of
which should be chosen by the government from a list of
twice their number, the organisation of the National Grad,
and lastly, the return of the Russian troops to the
fortresses. This state of Shire would still be far inferior
to that promised us in the treaties of Vienna, which even
guaranteed a Polish army and parliamentary institutions ;
and those treaties are, after all, the legal bases of our con-
nexion with Rursa.

MADELEINE SMITH.

It will be remembered that some time since
there was a great amitement throughout the land, occasioned
by a charge of the most serious nature being brought against
• young lady of Glasgow, named Madeleine Smith. She
was put upon her trial for poisoning her sweetheart, a
French teacher, but after • long investigation the case wee
decJares in Snitch legal phrase, to have been " not
prlven
t was mid that this young lady immediately afterward@
bad been sent to Australia, where, it was hoped, that,
amongst the great family of the Smiths, her name would
be altogether lost, and that she would be able to retrieve
her lion.
*wooer, she has lately turned up in the neighbourhood
of Plymouth. A great deal has been done here of late in
the way of Homes for Fallen Women, and one of the
clerical gentlemen, who has been very prominent in this
peculiar business, has had a fascinating young lady
in his house and under his care, on whom it is said
he was receiving 2001. per annum. This span, like
the famous ladies of old, shot her arrows into many
a heart, but all the young gentlemen who came near her
were mysteriously cautioned not to be entangled. Sat
where is the man who could withstand the blandish-
meats of youth and beauty and coquetry? Salta-acme
of the sterner sex were struck to the senses by bar, in
no time. Although she was permitted to in society, and
went to church on all proper occasions, she was, we are
informed, never formally introduced. Still, the want of
that formality was me want to her, as it proved by the fact
that during the preesst week she has left our home circle
and gone away to be married to an inspired lover of the Aso
arts—to whom we wih aH health aM happiness in his new
penition.—Plyssesdit Auras: of tide day.

THE BAYSWATER ROAD RAILWAY.

Yesterday morning a deputation waited upon
the Commissioners of Metropolis Turnpike-roads north of
the Thames, at their offices in Whitehill, in reference to
the iron rails in Bayswater-road. The Earl of Lonadale
p, :sided. Mr. Bradfield presented a memorial influentially
Biped, which set forth that the tramway laid down along
the Bayswater-road cannot be need by all other vehicles,
the tramway being constructed to receive carriages only
with flaw wheel', the subject of a patent. The memo-
rialists submitted that it moat be contrary to the wishes of
the commi. sionen, as it was oontrery to the public nearest,
that a precedent should be created on a turnpike road of
turnpike commissioners giving to one individual an exclu-
sive rightor privilege on part of the road where tolls are
collected from all carriages and horses for the fres use of
the whole of the road. They further submitted that as an
experiment the said tramway was • mistake and
a fedora as regards the public. No regularity
had bees observed in the running of the carriages,
• higher rate of fares had lx en imposed than charged
by ordinary omnibuses, and no regulation appppesaarred to have
been made to protect the public from the arbienry power of
those who had the control of the direction of the line.
They further submitted to the commissioners that to allow
the line to remain as it is and where it is, as an experi-
, mental line, one mile in length, dividing the urban from the
suburban population, will be most inconvenient to the
public and damaging to the trades west of the mina, while
the narrownea of the road east and west of the Notting-
ballets, and the fact that about sine feet only wens
so &liable on each side of the gate (without the removal of
the gate), was a practical difficulty against continuing the
rails further west. Mr. Dunfonl sod Mr. Harvey, vestry-
men of Kensington, pointed out the many accidents which
had occurred on the line, and the constant dangers inauared.
Several questions were put to the members of the deputa-
tion, and having been answered, the Earl of Leetsdale said
the memorial would be carefully considered by the commis-
sioners. The deputation then retired.

SIR J. RAMSDEN AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

A meeting of the Armley Reform Association
was held on Monday evening in the large room of the Union
Cross Inn, for the p of taking into consideration the
voice of Sir J. ltamsden iu the House of Commons,
and of presenting Lim with an address, requesting him to
resign. The meeting was very enthusiastic, and comprised
a good many freeholders. The chairman (Mr. William
Ellis), after introducing the business of the meeting, reviewed
at some length the psrliamentary;eareer of Sir J. Ramadan,
but more particularly during the present eardoo—his
absence during the division on Mr. L. King's and Mr.
Berkeley's motions—his refusal to vote for lfr. &Anne@
Reform Bill because "it would be censuring government"
—and hie conduct towards government in voting with the
Juries against the abolition of the paper duty. Mr. Ellis
eso showed that the hon. baronet was generally to be found
in opposition to Mr. F. Crossley and Mr. Baines Ia voting
for the reduction of estimates.

Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and on
the motion,of,Mr. Blitndill, seconded by Mr. W. Cromack,
an addrees to Sir J. Hamden was carried by acclamation,
expressive of surprise and regret at his opposing nearly
every measure which be was expected or had pledged him-
self to support.

Mr. HENLEY was 46.1 the hill was going before a Wed
committee. He hopid that the reference to trout would
be left out. There were fifty definitions of salmon, which
were quite enough to puzzle the magistrates. He also ob-
jected to the stringent summary provisions with regard to
throwing poisonous matters into streams. It would be better
to leave the evil to be dealt with by the common law remedy of
an indietmeet for a 011ialD00. Now the bounds were to be
very oddly constituted. For example, the bill gave a vote
for the beard to any person who paid se. a year fora fishing
license. He objected to the provision which would make a
boy to be heavily fiord for going to fish with a stick and •
crooked pin. Beside., he did not see why tospectore, who
' were in point of fact gamekeepers, should ho paid out of the
public money. (Hear.)
Mr. W. E. FOR.STEIt supported the general °Norte of

THE NEW BAN32IIPTCY 311.4

The following memorial to the Prime Minister
sigaispted on Wednesday by the Birmingham Chamber of
Commerce :

"To the Right Honourable Viscount Palmerston, M.P.,
Premier of England, &c.,
"The Memorial of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce
in special general meeting assmubled,
"Showeth—That your memorialist* observe with great
regret the alterations which have been made by the House
of herds is time Bill to amend the Laws Watson to Hsu*
ruptcy and leeolveney, inasmuch as alterations will, if
adopted by the House of Commons, deprive the bill of some
of the most important features which the commercial com-
munity, as represented by the chambers of commerce and
trade protection societies, have ceseiciared so essential in any
alteration of the existing laws. That your memorialists
have always been opposed to the appointment of a new judge
in bankruptcy, believing such au officer to be altogether
unnecessary ; consequently they do not object to the
omission of the clauses having reference to such appointment;
but your memortalista deem it of the utmost importance
that creditors should obtain a more direct control over the
estates of bankrupts and Maoism)* and are of opinion
therefore that unless the clauses giving this control to the
creditors, which have been struck out of the bill by the
House of Lords, are restored, it would be more satisfac-
tory to the commercial community that the bill should
not I.sscome liw. That your memorialists are also of
opinion that the clauses relating to the dividend and to
the discharge of the creditors' assignees should Mend part
of the bill, and that the remuneration to the official assignee
should be partly by salary and partly by commission or
fe:a. Your memorialists therefore respectfully but ear-
nestly pray her Majesty's government sot to consent to the
passing of the bill, unless it be restored to its original con-
dition, with the exception of the claims having reference
to the creation of a new judge.

INDIA.

BT the arrival of the Overland Mail we have
received letters and papers from Calcutta to
March 8. Of the famine the Englishman says :
In the North-west week follows week and! still little or
no change takes place in the scene where huinne is, as yet,
the moat neat feature. In our last overland we coo.
gntalated ourselves en the doom of an improvement, and
we wish we could more positively repeat those congratula.
tons now. But our news, though scanty, is far from
encouraging. As we said before, every possible means have
been tried that money or energy could compass, but there is
a hitch somewhere. The central committee have balances
in their bands; but the local committees either
will not apply for, or cannot obtain, assistance
when they require it. Colonel Baird Smith is on his
tour, as spatial famine commissioner, but as yet there has
not been time to hear of any reports from him. Rain has
not fallen, and irrigation is now becoming a matter of much
and serious interest. Experiments have been suggested,
and the subject is now occupying the attention of some of
the most intelligent engineers in India. Setting aside the
present evil, and looking only to the future, there is a
pressing necessity for the introduction of some economical
and efficient scheme for preventing the recurrence of such
painful events, so far all human power can avaiL It is to
be hoped that such scenes u we dailymed of—boysdropping
dead before dtk bungalows, and two thousand dead bodies
seen by one regiment on its downward march from (lawn-
pore, will call forth all the talent and energy we may have
at our disposal to prevent our ever reading the like again.

The prospects of the indigo districts are described
as being very bed. The disposition of the ryots to
refuse payment of their rent is said to have assumed
" a formidable aspect." Mr. Lushington reports :

rampt among native remindars, whom ryota rarely ever
think of refusing to obey their demands, the prospects are
my limited. In the Bengal Indigo Company's district only
9,000 beegaha have been sown against 76,000kat year, smiths
greater part of this quantity is south of Bongong, where at
present the ryots pay rents readily, and have taken ad- -
Vance'. At Jingergatcha, Batmbarea, Bath, and Hobrah,
and some others, the concerns are nearly dosed.

A commission has been appointed in Calcutta to
report on the arrangements necessary for carrying
out the amalgamation of the armies. The work
will occupy six months.
On the 6th ult. Lord Canning, as Chancellor of
the Calcutta University, conferred the degree of
bachelor of arts and bachelor of law on a number
of young men, including one Christian, several
Hiulloos, and a few Illabommedans. The ceremony
took plate in the Town-ball, before a large audience
representing all classes. Lord Canning, in a speech
of half-an-hour's duration, reviewed the history of
the university and the state of education generally,
urging the importance of doing more for the higher
classes, through whom alone we shall ultimately
attain that desirable object, the government of
India by Indians.

CHINA.

The most interesting item of the news that comes
to us from China relates to the murder of the
American interpreter at Yeddo, as announced by
telegraph. The China Mail gives tha following
amount of this unfortunate affair :

This unhappy gentleman, it appears, bad been frequently
cautioned, especially of late, to be mole careful of worm"
himself to maltreatment. Why he more than anyone elm
should have been so cautioned is at present only dimly'''.
hinted at. It would seem that his accurate knowledge of the
Japanese language had brought him acquainted with sec
tun nefarious designs of the anti-foreign party at Yeddo,
which, it was supposed, could only be concealed effectually
by his removal. He, however, paid no attention to the am
called cautions. On the night of Monday, the 14th Decent.
bee, he was returning from the house of the Pardon
minister, where he bad been dining. He was accompanied
by three betty sad four mounted Yakunins, but woe way-
laid by a body of seven or eight armed Japanese, who struck
out the lights carried by his servants, and rushed, yelling,
upon their victim. He spurred his horse and galloped off,
but did not escape receiving several sword wounds, which
subsequently proved fatal. 1n the meantime one of the
Yakunins, whose horse had been wounded, dismounted and
proceeded to the American Legation fur saretance. This
was obtained, and several medical men, including two
waive doctors, were soon in attendance, but their
aid was of no avail. The unfortunate gentle.
man, after receiving the last rites of his church,
expired about midnight. He was buried on the 18th, his
funeral being attended by the governor and all the ministers
of legation. :Shortly after, the miniskire of the various
embassies at Japan quitted Yeddo, with the exception of
the American minister, who declined to leave, saying that
his life was as safe in Yeddo as it had ever been. Among
the last of Mr. Harkin's public acts appears to have bean
the assistance be tendered towards the orclasion of the
Premien treaty with Japan, which takes effect two years
hence. It is not reported that trade has been at all niter-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE

POLAND.

A letter from Warsaw of the 9th says :

Yesterday, between 5 and 6 o'clock, a nrimerons crowd
again assembled before the royal palace, in accordance with
the intention announced the previous evening to repeat its
demand. At the same moment, a post-chaise crossed the
square, and the postillion played on his horn the national
air of Dombrowski, " Poland hes not yet perished !" This,
so to speak, electrified the people, and though without
arms, they attempted to force their way into the court-
yard of the palace. Then the cavalry charged and the
infantry fired. Several young men, some of them carry-
lag crucifixes, attempted to separate the people by
leading part of them into the streets in the vicinity
of the Podwalc and the Senatorska, but they found the
entrance to the streets occupied by infantry. New volleys
were fired at the people. The number of persona killed and
wounded is not yet known, but it must be considerable.
The soldiers carried many dead bodies to the palace, and
other victims were sent to St. Roch's Hospital and the
European Hotel. Whilst these sanguinary scene" were
taking place in front of the palace, between 3,000 and
4,000 persons, and among them many women and
children, collected round a statue of the Virgin at
the opposite end of the square, and on their knees
began praying and singing hymns. Detachment. of
infantry made several attempt. to disperse them,
but without success. At length, at nightfall, the troops
were withdrawn, and the crowd quietly retired. In the
evening a deputation of the citizens went to the palace and
requested to see Prince Gortchakoff, but he refused to re-
ceive them. General consternation prevails. It is feared

that bad news will come in from the provinces, as the die•
solution of the Agricultural Society has there caused great

exasperation. In the course of the demonstration of the
7th, an aide•clecamp of General Chrulow committed suicide
by blowing out his brains at the palace. The director of
Mince, M. Lenski, the director of the bank, M. Miepo-
kojaryscki, and the governor of Lublin, M. Maekiewics,
sent in their resignations on the morning of the Bth.
