HUNGARIAN GRAMMAR.

A gramm3--rontrel4uniarian language, with
Appropriate exercises and a copious vocabulary, to
which are added specimens of Hungarian poetry, has
just been publi,ned. The auy hor is Stgismand
Wekey, late Aide-de-Camp lo Kossuth. Ic is appro-
priately dedicated to Lord Dudley Stuart. Li his
preface the author remarks that "the illugur tongue
is the key to the heart of the Magyar people," hence
it is his hope to make the English people better ac-
quainted with the latter by introducing the former
to their notice.

LECTURES ON THE IiESULTS OF THE
Cilik.4l2' EXHIBITION. Bogue.
At the suggestion of Prince Albert, the President
of the Society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce,
twelve lectures were ' delivered at that institution
by some of the ablest professors of the day, relative to
4. the probable results of the Great Exhibition of 1851.
The introductory lecture was 'delivered by,. the Rev.
W. Whewell, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge,
' on " the general bearing of the Exhibition on the
'progress of arts and science. Richard Owen, F.R.S.,
jacoli-Bell, M.P., Lyon Playfair, F.R.S., J. Lind-
ley, ER S., Protestor E. Sully, F.A.S., Rev. R.
Willis, M.A., F.R.S , H. Elensrnan, EFT, Professor
J. F. Boyle, F.R.S,, and Captain Washington,
• R.N., F.R.S., severally lectured on the various sub-
jects exhibited, and in general a summary of the dis-
covery and gradual adaptation of the subject under
-discussion. One of the most interesting portions of
the work is that part of Captain Washington's lecture
which treats on the construction of life boats. It is
pretty well known, by all who take an interest in
' shipping, how much we are indebted to the Duke ot
Northumberland, who, seeing bow great was the de-
fiCiency in number, and how imperfect the construc-
tion ot the life-boats along our coasts, which was
the cause of frequent accidents, offered a liberal
ie reward for the best model of a life-boat; the *con-
.. sequence of which was that 280 models and plans
a Were sent in, not only by our own countrymen but
/o '-*sby the maritime states of the continent, and also
by our Transatlautic brethren. S -me fifty of the
'9'' best of these formed the Duke's contribution to the
Exhibition. A report on these models, accompanied
'by plans and drawings of the most approved of them,
Was prepared at the expense of his Grace, and 1,900
copies of it gratuitously distributed not only through-
out the length and breadth of our island, but to all the
- maritime nations of Europe and the United States of
.works. In addition to which the Duke publicly
expressed"his intention of placing the best life-bows
that can be built, and ' every means of saving life
from shipwreck, on all . the exposed _ points of
'• "NorthUmberl lid. The first life-host used in
Eegl4rid was invented by Henry Greatheed, of
South Shield:4, in 1789. Although weedy inferior
to th., bouts in use at the present time, nevertheless
her performances were so much appreciated that the
Society of Arts rewarded the inventor with a gold
medal and fitly guineas in 1802, and Parliament
Voted him 1,2001. in acknowledgment of the utility
Of his invezeien. This work is well worthy the
attention of the public generally ; for no matter what
his profeSsion or pursuit, the reader will out of these
twelve lectures be sure to find one or more of them
from whiCh he may derive useful and practical in
formation.

M. VICTOR kIUGO.—Oo Wednesday evening M.
1441. Victor Hugo left the Waterloo-station for Jersey, by the
le,. eight o'cieck mail train, after a stay in London of three days.
se, Drivep from France for the free expression of his opinions
concerning the coup critut, in his pamphlet, entitled "Napo..
leon le Petit," M. Hugo took refuge in Belgium; but, fear-
ful of giving offence to the President, the nelgian Govern-,
t‘",,
and t politely requested him to proceed upon his journey;
• e_, accordingly, on Monday morning, he arrived in Lon-
-1:laLoe• and took up his abode at an insignificant little tavern,
:en-street, Windmill-street, called the Hotel de Nor-
eher 'During his short stay, M. Hugo, unlike many
court ruical. refugees, seemed rather to avoid than to
table
cr atseeles
at the taeb,Pub,lic gaze; and, although he dined every day
to few b` 44te of the hotel, hisresence there was known

constantly frequented by French artists and
obtn gterateurs as, not having enough assurance to
a entree to the tables ot wealthy lion-hunters, are
inee"Y nitessity or by inclination to seek its modest and
17ePeristre hospital; and to witness the earnest and
respectful demeanour with which these gentlemen conducted
Wolves towards M. Hugo was a touching spectacle.
‘'n Wednesiay morning, at breakfast, the Hotel de Nor-
his
respdie was visited by M. Louis Blanc, who came to pay"
ects to the exiled poet. M. Hugo is eccornpanied
in his wanderings by his younger son, a fine handsome
Young fellow, of about three or four and twenty.
(WTHR LEEDS GAROTTE ROBBERIES.--yesterday
ednesday) the seven men in custody, charged with as-
vaulting and robbing two persons at ' the west-end of Leeds,
on the night of the 24th ult.,. were finally brought before
the magistrates, and all ot them committed for trial at the
next assizes or winter gaol delivery at York. Bail was ap.
Plied for on behalf of two of the prisoners, but peremptorily
refused. Coleman, who was " garotted" with a degree of
severity which bad almost produced loss- of life, is recover-
ing, though slowly, from the effects of the infamous outrages
. perpetrated upon him. The eighth person implicated in
these outrages, although known to the police, dill evades ap.

- EMIGRATION FROM SOUTII WALES —The m'nia
for emigration to the gold mines of Australia is most preva-
• lent in south Wales. From Neath a.number of persons have
taken their departure, and an increasing number are prepar-
ing to follow their example. At Pontypridd, likewise, a
number of hardy young men are about to seek their , for-
tune at the Antipodes; and from Laugharne and St.
Clears many farm labourers have quitted their homes for
the diggings. Large parties will soon leave the more popu-
lous towns, such as Swansea, Carmarthen,&c., in addition
to the persons who have already lett. Hitherto the exodus
has been to a large extent to the United States; but the
current has now been turned to Australia.—lier. ford Times.
FMK AND Lose or Luc regn-t to state
that a disastrous fire, whereby a large quantity of agricul-
tural produce and one human lite were sacrificed, occurred
On Friday last at b iry. The daughter of the de-
ceased, Mr. Blackford, a maa very generally esteemed by
present in a very precarious
his fellow-citizens, lies at
Mate, having been seized with hysteric fits when she heard
of the sad accidet.t which had befallen her. It appears that
two large ricks of hay and straw, situate near Malmesbury,
and belonging to Mr. Hulks, of the latit.office, were dis-
covered to be on fire between I and 8 o'clock in the evening
of the day above named. The alarm being given, a number
of the inhabitants hastened to the spot with a view of
endeavouring to extinguish the flames, and among them was
tho deceased, who was landlord of the King's Arms Inn.
The deceased mounted to the top of the hayrick, a portion
of which had not apparently been reached by the flames,
and directed the men in she distribution of the water. He
was heard to call out " There was no water wanted," at a
Spot et whiCh'he was thrn-ting his stick, and then he was
seen to turn himself round, but the next moment he fell into
the burning mast and disappeared in the. flames Ur. Cadby,
chemist, at. the risk of his own life, rushed Lrward and suc-
ceeded in dragging the body from the flames. Mr. Blackford
was dreadfully burnt, and though medical assistauce was
promptly at hand, it was evident he could not survive the
injuries he had received. He was removed to his own resi-
dence on a abutter, where he lingered till the middle of the
next day, when death put an end to his sufferings. The
ricks belonging to Mr. Hanks were entirely consumed. The
fire, it is imagined, originated from the dampness of the hay
when it was put together.

TRIAL TRIP or THE WEST INDIA MAIL PACKET
.Lk- PLATA.—La Plata, Royal West India Mail Comparfee
paddle-wheel steam-packet, purchased by the c.,napany from
the British Nor h American Company, was tried down the
Clyde on Tuesday. ' The directors of the Mail Company, ac-
companied by Messrs. Steele, of Greenock, and Mr. Robert
'Napier, of Glasgow, who fitted the engines, were on board.
The trial was a most satisfactory one. The rate of speed, al-
lowing for tide, on the run down to the Cumries, and a few
minutes' easing, was; on the average, about 14 knots. The
etting.up of the Ail)' in all respects, is most commodious and
.entit, and, the daybeieg fine, all parties who attended the
011) greeted La Plata Most heartily on leaving her. which
was responded to by the captain and officers, and parties who
were going round in the ship to Liverpool. There is every
probability of Ls Plata performing welt and punctually on
her assigned service.
