axe the betrayed liberty of the ill-fated
but glorious Hungarians. KOSSUTH, however,
has even now morally and virtually his triumph
over his antagonists—his victory over his assail-
ants, even in the days of his misfortune, and in
the period of his banishment. Already he is
avenged. He is avenged on those craven states-
men who were accomplices in the perpetration of
enormous crime, by consenting to witness the
fulfilment of the evil designs of despotism through
a nameless fear of democracy. Dreading the exten-
sion of popular freedom over the Continent, England
was indirectly the cause, by her pusillanimity, why
the heart of CHARLES ALBERT was broken—why
Lombardy was reconquered by RADErzKv---v.-hy
the Magyars, bound hand and foot, were delivered
over by the traitor GoRGEY to the mercy of HAY-
NAU and the forbearance of PASKEWITZCH. Kos-
515TH, we repeat, is avenged upon these craven
and incapable statesmen. For the same policy
which before crushed the beautiful visions of Ita-
lian and Hungarian independence has at length
arrived at what was obviously its inevitable deve-
lopment, by tarnishing the fair fame of England,
and jeopardising the tranquillity of the European
Continent.

ROYAL OLYMPIC THEATRE.

THIS EVENING, OCT. IS,
Wili be performed THE CAMP AT THE OLYMPIC. Charac-

To be followed by PLOT AND PASSION. Principal characters
by Mr. F. Robson and Mrs. Stirling.

The contest between the millowners and the
factory hands has fairly commenced at Preston.
It is impossible to calculate with any pretensions
to accuracy the amount of damage that must be
inflicted, the misery that must be endured, during
the internacine conflict. The operatives will, we
fear, have bitter cause to deplore the short-sighted
folly and arrogant assumptions of which they have
been guilty. Too late will they lament the in-
fatuation which induced them to listen to the
insidious suggestions of interested agitators, and
to aim a deadly blow against their best friends—
a blow which rebounds with double force against
themselves, their wives and families. They have
hitherto rremained deaf to the sound and whole-
some advice that has been offered by true
friends. They have disregarded the salu-
tary admonitions of their religious pastors of
all denominations, and of the public journals,
which, with scarcely an exception, have pointed
out the inevitable consequences of their reckless
audacity and insubordination. The more prudent
and sagacious among them have been struck with
the validity of the arguments offered for their
consideration, but they have been unable to
struggle against the stream ; the well-disposed
have been swept away with the torrent, and un-
fortunately must participate in the sufferings
thereby occasioned. They would willingly with-
draw if they could, but unfortunately that is
scarcely possible under present circumstances, and
they are gradually but certainly drawn into the
vortex, and involved in one common destruction
with others who are less entitled to sympathy or
condolence.
We have repeatedly pointed out the certain
results of such a struggle as that which has just
