TO THE EDITOR OF 7WE SUN.

rejoice t that your success has been so sig-
nal. and I u.ight say compleie, for I c!innot think your
noble object on behalf of the Hungarian hussars who
nave lafely them cast upon our shorts, is otherwise than
accomplished.
. .

Nev-er did a heart-stirring appeal to a generous
British public, like that which appeared in the columns
of your excellent paper of the other day, remain tan-
answered; their hands and heart are ever ready to assist
the needy and oppresstd. Nobly has the apps al been
made and nobly will it be answered, for truly this is a
cause worthy of Englishmen and their liberality. 1
would here remark that a mere temporary relief could
not assuage the misery of these unfortunate men, whose
courage and patriotism have inspired them with hop's
of being restored to their native country, in order that
they may draw their swords in defence of its rights, and
it Providence should so will it, die fighticg for a glorious
independence. This demonstration will show her Ma-
jesty's Prime Minister that all the English people do not
consider the Magyars rebels, which he is reported to
have indirectly called them the other night, in reply to a
question put by our veteran Reformer Mr. Hume. An
tusurrecuon takes place when the inabitants of a nation
rise unprovoked to subvert it, just laws and institutions.
h this the case now in Flung try. No. The voices of
all patriotic men el Likud. no, although those who
hold the reins ()four government may tacitly say yes.
That there is treas.nt of the deepebt cl)e .
=his iiff,ir no reasonable man doubts, but it is the
:real, n of the Autocrats against the ri:,,hts of Hungary;
they ought to be tried and condeumed by a European
tribunal, and punished accordingly. The foregoing
peaks the sentiments of thirty individuals from one
,!stablishment, whose subscriptions with my own are
herewith forwarded, and had our means been t qual to
our will, they would have been as :rimy pounds as they
are now shillings. I sincerely thank you for myself and
,riends for the part you have taken in this praiseworthy
cause.—Yours obediently,
July 9.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR —Pievloes to .teetog your article respecting the
Hungarian Testriconial, I had written to Lord Dudley
Stuart to Inquire if he wou d receive subscriptions for
the same purpose. Having received an ahswer is the
affirmative, I this morning remitted to him 71 6s. pro
eeeds after paying expetthea (which amounted to 6/. 9,),
of a collection taken at a tn,eting last night in Nea-
castle. Tile meeting was an event; the doors were be•
,iegect by hundreds betore the time, and hundreds were
unable to get in. A series of such meetings throughou
England w mid have a European significance.—l atn,
Sir, your obedient servant,
GEORGE CRAWSHAY.
