wM:. Newby has just publisrltd 0 very vaiu,bie and
restingin work upon the past struggles of Hungary
th!its futuro prospects, by one well acquainted with
eformsr, Llart consequently well enabled to judge of
latter. The work is illustrxed by maps, and is
foil of useful information. The various races of
,olich the Hungarian people are composed, the his-
tory of the country under the empire, the recent re-
volution, and more especially the prospect of that
revolution which may with confidence be expected,
.are here detailed and commented upon in a very in-
t
e lelaing and attractive manner.

the suggestion Albert, the .President
SJciety of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce,
tWeive lectures were delivered at that institution
by some of the ablest professors of the day, relative to
',le probable results of the Great Exhibition of 1851.
"e introductory lecture was delivered by the Rev.
1,.,"
"• Whewell, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge,
00 the general bearing of the Exhibition on the
Jogresa of arts and science. Richard Owen, F.R.S.,
leeb Bell, M.P., Lyon Playfair, F.R.S., J. Lind-
F.R S., Professor E. Solly, F.ti.S., Rev. R.
"illie, M.A., F R.S., H. Hensman, &q., Professor
• Royle, M D., Fit S., and Captain Waekington,
• ''''4•l F.R.S., severally lectured on the varies sub.-
J:ets exhibited, and in general a summary of the dis-
overy and gradual adaptation of the subject under
die
cussion. One of the most interesting portions of
Lie work is that part of Captain Washington's lecture
Which treats on the construction of lite- boats. It is
Pretty well known, by all who take an interest in
Vsi'PPing, how much we are indebted to the Duke of
4thumberland, who, seeing how great was the de-
ciencY in number, and how imperfect the construe-
ti of the life-boats along our coasts, which was
the cause of frequent accidents, offered a liberal
reward for the best model of a life-boat; the con-
R"'lieu" of which was that 280 models and plan:t
Were
sent - in, not only by our own countrymen but
by
the maritime states of the continent, and also
j our Transatlantic brethren. Some fifty of the
'let of these formed the Duke's contribution to the
Exhibition.by A report on these models, accompanied
Plans and drawings of the most approved of them,
ewas prepared at the expense of his Grace, and 1,300
Pies 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
e n'erica. In addition to which the Duke publicly
2tPressed his intention of placing the best lite-boats
;I°4 can be built, and every means of saving life
°4l shipwreck, on all the exposed points of
EorthurnberLnd. The first life-boat used in
glitlid was invented by Henry Greathead, of
lohth Shieldl, in 1789. Although greatly inferior
;10 the boats in use at the present time, nevertheless
see Performances were so much areciated that the
oeeiety of Arts rewarded the inventor with a gold
`l4/ and fifty guineas in 1802, and Parliament
vofted him 1,2001. in acknowledgment of the utility

tteetion
of the public generally ; for no matter what
lilt Profession or pursuits, the reader will out of these
twelve lectures be sure to find one or more of them
ruto fo veich he may derive useful and practical in•

EMIGRATION FROM SOUTH WALES —The zinnia

emigration to the gold mines of Australia is most preva-
lent in South Wales. From Neath a number of persons have

lbg to follow their example. At Pontypridd, likewise, a
number of hardy young men are about to seek their for-
tuner, at the Antipodes; and from Laugharne and St.
Blears many farm labourers have quitted their homes for
l'ao diggings. Large parties will soon leave the more popu-
,otts towns, such as Swansea, Carmarthen, &c., in addition

,„"j'n.g for tide, on the run down to the Cumries, and a few
