TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

I.3in,—lt has pleased Providence to visit the Hunga-
rian emigration, nay, the whole Hungarian nation, with
a most severe loss, and to cast the deepest mourning
upon them—one of their most distinguished members,
Casimir Count Batthyany, died unexpectedly and sud-
denly at Paris, on the 12th inst., in the 46th year of
his age.
Caisimir Count Batthyany, Hereditary Lord of N -
meth Ujvar, was a scion of that most illustrious and
noble Hungarian, which, during centuries, nay, during
the entire existence of Hungary, has given at all times
and ages the most distinguished men for its clergy, for
the senate, and the field. The deceased was Hereditary
Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Vas, in Hungary
(perpetuus ac supremos comes comitatus de eastro Jeri' eo ).
He was also heir presumptive to the princely titles and
estates of the same name.

It is not my intention to give an account of his past
life--that was far too rich in acts and noble sacrifices
to be compressed within the limits of a few lines. As
an individual he was conspicuous, not only by his hand-
some and manly figure, but also by his high and noble
qualities, and not even his adversaries could withhold
their admiration for one so noble in feelings, so brave
in action, so rich in ideas, and who enjoyed a well-
deserved European reputation for his varied accomp-
lish men ts.

His participation in the Hungarian war for liberty
deserves universal acknowledgment, and the more so
because it was free from all ambition, from all selfish-
ness. He desired rather to be useful than to shine,
for he participated in the struggle with all the
vigour of his mind, with all the devotion of his
noble heart ; and though his political creed differed
from that of several of the leaders, still, seeing the in-
dependence—the constitution—of his beloved country
endangered, he never did hesitate to take the most de-
cided part, both as a soldier in the field and as a states-
man and minister in the senate.
For the welfare of his country he neither spared
his life nor his fortune : his estates confiscated by Aus-
tria amounted from 18,000,000 to 20,000,000 of francs.
He might have saved a great part of his patrimony,
but he did not do so, perhaps in order that his sacrifice
might be complete. He might not have acted in this
instance in the wisest way, as far as his country,
himself, and his family were concerr.ed, but it is the
privilege of noble and great characters not to shrink
from the consequences ofgreat events. He died poor and
an exile, and reposes now not only far from his beloved
country on a foreign soil, but even in the grave of a
foreign family. Ere this his departed spirit will have
met with the blood-stained shade of his noble relative,
the late Count Lewis Batthyany, and both these greatest
and noblest martyrs of Hungary, the victims of Austrian
vengeance and persecution, look on their bereaved coun-
try, and call upon its faithful children to imitate their
heroic devotedness in life as well as in death.

The generous spirit of Count Casimir is departed, but
his name will be imperishable in the history of his coun-
try—his memory cherished by every Hungarian through
all ages and times. His noble example will prevail upon
and incite them in all their struggles, in all their suffer-
ings, for the welfare of their beloved country. Peace
be wits him !

MARKET IVEIVS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat on
sale in to-day's market was very limited, the demand for
it was excessively heavy, and most kinds were offered at
is to 2s per quarter less money, without tempting buyers.
We were largely supplied with foreign wheat, and all
descriptions were lower to purchase. In floating cargoes
next to nothing was doing.
Barley, the show of which was moderate, moved off
heavily, at Monday's decline.
The malt trade was very dull, and prices were drooping.
The oat trade was very dull, and the quotations had a
downward tendency.
Beaus and peas were unaltered in value ; but most kinds
of flour were lower to purchase. The imports are 2,820
barrels.

To=day's market was tolerably well, but not to say
heavily, supplied with beasts. All breeds met a very dull
sale, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday of 2d
per 81bs. Sheep, the show of which was moderate, moved
off slowly, at barely stationary prices. We had an ex-
ceedingly dull inquiry for lambs, at a decline in value of
2d per lbs. The supply of calves was very extensive.
Prime small veal realised previous rates ; other kinds were
quite 2d per 81bs. lower. In pigs, next to nothing was
doing.

311ich cows were very dull, at from 14L to 19/. Os.
each, including their small calf.
