HUNGARIANS.

The Colog•ne Gazette of the 19th (second edition),
states, on the authority of one of its Vienna corre-
spondents, that BEM had attacked and disarmed a
Russian corps of 80,000 men ; that a great number of
the Russian officers had gone over to his side; that
the Hungarians had captured 60 pieces of cannon ;
and that the disarmed Russians had been driven
across the frontier.
Another correspondent writes on the 14th of May,
that Field-Marshal PASKIEWICII, with 18,000 men,
had attempted to enter Transylvania, but had been
attacked by BEM and entirely routed.

EVERLASTING JENNY.—Among the contra-
dictory rumours afloat with respect to the marriage
of this
Queen of Song, we have heard one this
morning to
which recent circumstances seemto lend
no small credit. It is—that the projected marriage
has been broken off, on the ground of settlement. A
handsome
annuity was to have been settled on him ;
but it transpired that a still larger amount would
have been more convenient. This raised doubts—
and doubts are staggerers to begin with in such a
happy union ! The dear Jenny hurries to Paris—
and Mr. llarris tarries here. What next ?

THE SCOTTISII HosviTAL.—The spring festival of
this charity was celebrated on Thursday night at the
Thatched-house Tavern, and was presided over by the
Duke of Montrose. Many of the warmest supporters
of Scotch benevolent institutions in the metropolis were
present ; among them Sir R. A. Anstruther, Sir
W. A. Fraser Sir W. C. Russ, Mr. Cowan, M.P.,
the Chit,hohn; the Rev. Dr. Ralph, the Rev. J.
Murray, Cluny Macpherson, Mr. Hope Vere, and
Captain Lamont, R.N. The Duke of Montrose ex-
plained and advocated the objects of the charity,
which were to enable natives of Scotland who had been
resident in London for a certain time to return to their
own country if they wished to do so, and to provide
small annuities for those who were advanced in age, and
unwilling to return to the north. His Grace lamented

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Loa.o CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the
Woolsack at Five o'clock.

_Lord RE. DESDALE presented several petitions
against the repeal of the navigation-laws.
the Earlluetiti of
°Bs' N‘ rah a similar prayer, were presented by
Eg linton, the Earl of Warwick, the Duke of
Richmond, and Earl Talbot.
Lord LYTTELTON presented several petitions,
praying for the abolition of the law of settlement.
ATTACK ON THE QUEEN.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE hoped that before
they proceeded to consider a subject on which there
would be much difference of opinion, he might be per-
mitted to advert to a sufject on which there could be no
difference of opinion.—(Hear, hear.) There were
offences of a character most atrocious and at the same
time most contemptible. All that he could say was
that there were discove.red on inquiry into the
circumstances attending the hateful attempt of
Saturday nothing to justify a committal for
high treason. Had such been the case, it
would have been his duty to address her Majesty to ex-
press their abhorrence of the crime. The committal had
been for a misdemeanour, and therefore he intended to
propose no address, and he thought it would be best to
leave this contemptible criminal to take the cons' quence
giving to Lim the notoriety of which
Lord STANLEY was rejoiced to hear the determina-
obfeh was is cr
punereh,a wpisthaomubtitious.
determina-
tion of the Government to leave the contemptible mis-
creant who had perpetrated the outrage to his fate.
Had her Majesty been in danger, nut only the House,
but the whole country would have congratulated her
on her escape, and they might congratulate her
Majesty, on the fact that when it was supposed that she
had been in danger it called forth an universal expres-
sion of desire for vengeance. He thought it was well
to leave this wretched miscreant to the disgraceful and
degrading punishment he so well merited.—'Cheers.)
Lord KENYON thought there ought to be some re-
cord on the journals either by a resolution or an address
of the occurrence of this circumstance.
Lord BROUGHAM hoped this would go no further.
The offender had yet to go to trial, and in the last resort
their Lordships might have to decide on his guilt and
innocence; therefore he felt rejoiced that they were not
called upon to express any opinion as to the attempt
which had been made, and which could only excite con-
tempt and disgust.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that had he
proposed an address it would have related merely to the
ilature of the offence, and not to the person committingit. But he thought it much better that no further notice
should be taken of an attempt which was as contemptible
AS it HAS atrocious.
The subject was then dropped.
The Earl of FITZHARDINGE presented a petition
in favour of the repeal of the navigation laws. Ile did
not concur in its prayer.
The Earl of lIARROWBY presented a petition with
a similar prayer.

FRANKFORT.

The German Parliament resolved on the 17th inst.,
by a majority of 191 to 12, that they had no confidence
in the new Ministry.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The EMPEROR returned to Vienna on the 12th.

The Weiner Zeitung of the 12th publishes an army
bulletin describing in magniloquent language an ad-
vantage gained by the Imperialists over the Magyars
at Schutt. Verily the Austrians are thankful for
small mercies, for on looking to the return of
casualties we find that the whole loss of the Hunga-
rians amounted to "twelve killed, and several pri-
soners."

The Pesther Zeitupg of the 6th contains the fol-
lowing order :
" The bombardment of Pesth, which has been con-
tinued from yesterday evening during the whole night up
to the present hour, has been chiefly occasioned, I am
persuaded, by the firing of the citizens from the Pesth
bank of the Danube. Shooting either in the town or on
the bank of the river is strictly forbidden. Whoever is
caught in the fact, or convicted of shooting will, alter
trial by court-martial, suffer sentence of death.
" STEPHEN PATAY, Commandant of the Garrison.
" Pesth, May 5."
The 4th battalion of the Deutschmeister Regiment
of Infantry, commanded by Major TRENK, at the re-
cent affair at Jablunka lost 200 men killed, besides
wounded and prisoners. The Ist and 2d battalions
of the same regiment, who were to penetrate into
Upper Hungary, under General Banco, lost at Po-
lena the colonel, Count BUENA, 17 officers, and 300
men killed. In South Hungary things are not much
better. At Funfkirchin the inhabitants rose and
expelled from the town the Croat garrison of four
battalions, for which deed the BAN has commissioned
General OTTINGER to chastise them, and to impose a
fine of 100,000 florins in silver.
By way of Cracow 30.000 Russians have advanced
into Hungary and 20,000, by way of Lemberg.

THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO

ASSASSINATE THE QUEEN.

[The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of
Saturday :—J ,
Shortly after six o'clock this evening her Majesty
and Prince Albert, whilst returning in an open lan-
dau from Hyde-park down Constitution-hill, to
Buckingham Palace, a labouring man, wearing a
white flannel jacket, and bearing all the appearance
of a mechanic, levelled a pistol at the Queen, from
within the railings of the Green Park, whilst the
carriage was passing the curve of the hill close to the
Triumphal-arch-
The Queen and the Prince did not appear much
alarmed, and the carriage, on the order of the Queen,
proceeded to the Palace. Both were uninjured.
The miscreant, who is an Irishman, named John
Hamilton, was immediately seized by one of the park
keepers and by a soldier who jumped over the rail,.
The pistol, it is believed, was loaded with ball. He
was immediately taken to the King-street station
where, at the time our reporter left, the scoundrel was
under examination.

The greatest excitement prevails in the metropolis
in consequence of the diabolical attempt.
The man, who is about thirty or five and thirty
years of age, appears a rational individual.

Alarming reports are in circulation relative to

the representatives returned are of the extreme Red

.It is said that the populace having showed a
disposition to riot, Marshal Bugeaud had ordered a
regiment of the line to disperse them, but that the
troops had joined the mob. A regiment of dragoons
was ordered to act, but, on seeing that the infantry
manifested a disposition to resizt, they sheathed their
words and returned to their barracks.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
We have received our Vienna papers and letters of
the 14th inst.

The Austrian Government are prepared to use
severe measures against the Croatian and Servian
malcontents. Of the advance of the Russians we
learn that the Russian General Riidiger has proceeded
in the direction of Tyrnau. Raab has been retaken
by the Imperialists, the Hungarians retreating as the
former advanced. Indeed, it appears that the Hun-
garian troops are falling back on all sides. It is their
old policy to draw their enemies into the imprac-
ticable and inhospitable parts of their country. In
consequence of this stratagem, the Austrian Generals
Simunich, Wholgemuth, and Czorichlhave advanced to
Szerid, and General Vogel is at Trentshin.
G-eneral Todorovich's troops in the Banaz have
been completely routed by the Hungarians, who ad-
vanced as far as Sabuka, a town in the immediate
vicinity of Panczowa.

PETITIONS.

Lord LYNDHURST presented a petition, signed by
a considerable number of short-hand writers engaged in
reporting the proceedings cf Parliament, praying that
in the event of their Lordships determining upon having
an official record of their proceedings, their claims might
not be overlooked.
NA VIGATION-LAW S.

Lord STANLEY said that he carefully considered
the proposed Bill for the repeal of the navigation-
laws, for the purpose of seeing what altera-
tions he could c,_,nsent to in those laws, but
he found that the Bill was founded upon a principle
to which he could not consent, and, therefore, he
should propose such amendments as would alter the
whole character and principle of the Bill ; he should
propose that all the words aster the ‘vord " That" should
be omitted, and that certain words carrying out his views
should be introduced instead of the words at present in
the Bill, lie proposed to maintain the principle of not
granting a British registry to a foreign ship, to maintain
the coasting trade for British vessels, and to uphold the
principle of the existing navigation-laws with some few
exceptions.
Earl GREY hoped the Noble Lord's amendments
would distinctly set forth what was the state of the law
which he wished maintained.

After a few words from the Marqnis of LANSDOWNE
and Lord STANLEY the subject dropped.
The Bishop of OXFORD gave notice that he should
propose an amendment on Monday in the Committee on
the Navigation Laws.
DEBTS (SCOTLAND) BILL.
The Earl of EGLINTON introduced a Bill to amend
the law relating to the recovery of debts in Scotland.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti-
tion from some individual praying for an amendment of
the law of entail in Ireland.

LAND IMPROVEMENT AND DRAINAGE
(IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the first
reading of this Bill, which had been brought up from
the Commons, and gave notice that on its second read-
ing, which he fixed for Monday, he should move that the
standing orders be suspended. The Bill was one to
which he attached the greatest importance. It made
advances to the landed proprietors for local works, and
insured repayment of the advances so made. Hitherto
the repayment of the advances made had not been at-
tended with any difficulty. There was still a wide scope
for arterial drainage in Ireland, independently of the ne-
cessity which existed for completing the works which
had been already begun, lest by being left unfinished
they should prove more injurious than beneficial.
The Bill was then read a first time, and it was re-
solved that the standing ordera should be suspended as
to the future stages of this Bill.

ationa would induce him to vote for the amendment. As
re7arded the rnl;,iefil vi,w of the quos!icn, it was t.:ll:urd
and improper to shackle a MLEsikr of ParlitaLcut in his
legislative capacity, and it was unwise as regarded the in-
terests of Ireland to maintain distinctions between Catho-
lics and Protestants. A s to retaining the oath upon religious
grounds, let no one suppose that our Church depended
upon such rubbish as this.—(Hear, hear.) The time
was past for these vain reliancei; the Church was to
be protected by its purity, by the union of its members,
by the real earnest devotion of those who believed it the
moat pure and reformed part of Christ's Church.—(Hear,
hear.) Let any one compare the Church of England now
with what it was thirty years ago, end say whether it
was not far more energetic and active than when there
were those barricades to protect it.—(Hear, hear.)
Colonel SIBTHORP could hardly believe that he
heard aright when he listened to a Chancery barrister,
the representative of the city of Oxford—( A laugh)—
designating an oath, an ai.peal to the Almighty, as
`• runbi,h."—(Hear; hear.) •
Mr. WOOD could hardly have thought he was under-
stood to mean anything more than that to rely upon
this particular form of oath was rel) ing upon rubbish.
Mr. P. HOWARD would wish to see one oath adopted
for all, but could not shut his eyes to the pr.bable eff..ct
of this motion upon the success of the Bill in another
place, if not in that House.—(Hear, hoar.) Wishing
now not to put forward the question involved in this
motion, but to remove the greater grievance of his neigh=
bour, he should abstain from voting, fearing to endanger
the Bill.

Mr. WYLD protested against the introduction upon
this occasion of the question involved in the motion.
This was a most inopportune moment for it.
The Committee then divided, when there appeared—

VACANCY IN THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH
WARWICKSHIRE. WARWICKSHIRE, FRIDAY. Mr.
Shirley, M.P., has just formally announced his resigna-
tion, after twelve years sitting. His Protectionist friends
have long since expected such a step, and therefore aro
prepared for a contest. It is thought that the Liberal
party will find a candidate in the person of the IJon. W.
H. Leigh, eldest son of Lord Leigh; and the Protec-
tionists in Lord Guernsey, the eldest son of the Earl of
Ayles ford.

-THE STEAMER BOMBAY.—It being the intention
of the owners of the steam-ship Bombay, lying at the
present time in the East India Docks, to abandon the
voyage to Gibraltar and Malta, for which places she was
about to take her departure, and was cleared outwards
by the authorities of the revenue on the 14th of March
last, the commander of the vessel alluded to has preferred
a r(quest to the revenue awhorities for their permission
for the whole of the cargo now on board to be re-landed,
in 0rc1..-r to enable the shippers and owners to send it by
somo other means of conveyance to the ports of desti-
nation.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

FRAN CE.

The President, on being apprised of the result of
the general election, as fx as they have been ascer-
tained, has sent a telegraphic dispatch commanding
Marshal Bugeaud to reurn to Paris as quickly as
possible. This fact has given rise to a number of re-
pc.rts. Some say the object is to form a new Mi•
nistry, in which M. Dufaure and M. Gustave de
Beaumont are to fill important positions.
Alarming reports are in circulation relative to
serious disturbances at Lyons, where it is known that
the representatives returned are of the extreme Red
party. It is said that the populace having showed a
disposition to riot, Marshal Bugeaud had ordered a
regiment of the line to disperse them, but that the
troops had joined the mob. A regiment of dragoons
was ordered to act, but, on seeing that the infantry
manifested a disposition to resist, they sheathed their
swords and returned to their barracks.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
We have receivel our Vic•nna papers ani letters o
the 14th inst.

The Austrian Government are prepared to use
severe measures against the Croatian and Servian
malcontents. Of the advance of the Russians we
learn that the Russian General Rudiger has proceeded
in the: direction of Tyrnau. Raab has been retaken
by the Imperialists, the Hungarians retreating as the
former advanced. Indeed, it appears that the Hun-
garian troops are falling back on all sides. It is their
old policy to draw their enemies into the imprac-
ticable and inhospitable parts of their country. In
conFequenee of this stratagem, the Austrian Generals
Simunich, Wholgemuth, and Czorichjhave advanced to
Szerid, and General Vogel is at Trentshin.
General 'Todorovich's troops in the Banaz have
been completely routed by the Hungarians, who ad-
vanced as far as Sabuka, a town in the immediate
vicinity of Panczowa.

MURDER of a POLiCE-CONSTABLE

AT BRISTOL.
Yesterday (Friday) afternoon Mr. Grindon, the
coroner, held an inque3t os the body of John 1.39 m, aged
thirty-two, late a police-Constable in the Bristol police
force.
The evidence went to show that at about the middle
of the night of the 3.1 inst., the deceased was on duty in
Thomas street, when he observed two females of ques
tionable character talking to two private soldiers of the
15th infantry, he desired them to disperse. The soldiers
made an attack upon the constable, who was knocked to
the ground, and whilst there was beaten with sticks
until covered with blood by the two soldiers, who made
their escape a short distance but were soon taken into
custody. The prisoners were the next day taken before
the magistrates, but were allowed to join their regiment
upon their sergeant representing that they would be
severely punished for their gross conduct by the military
power. The unfortunate constable

ceased. There was no doubt that death was caused by
erysepalus produced by the wound in the head.
The CORONER having ad dressed the jury, a verdict of
" Wilful murder" was returned against Andrew Davey
and John 151'1'a:icy, the two privates alluded to.

, One half the norid are desolately single, and the other
....apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or s.
sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
-I,ltter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comnrosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happines►
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjusticederaand that health shouldferm au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

ROME:

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in answer to the
question which had been put on a former occasion, re-
lating to the intervention of France, Austria, and Naples
in the affairs of Rome, had stated that no communication
had been made by Austria and Naples. He had now to
state that his Noble Friend the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs had had made to him in the course of conversa-
tion a communication from the Austrian Minister, of
the intention of his Government to interfere in
the affairs of Rome, which communication was
founded on a communication which the Minister had
received from his Government.
The Earl of ABERDEEN was happy to hear the
explanation of the Noble Marquis, but he could not but
observe that the Noble Marquis had on that occasion
informed the House that no communication what-
ever had been made, but it should be recollected
that the representation of the French Government
was only verbal, which was held sufficient to
satisfy that Government, whereas the communications
made by the Austrian Government were frank, full, and
explicit; and as the question of the Noble Baron had
been printed, it was unjustifiable that the Noble Marquis
should have been instructed to make the answer he had
made. This was of a piece with the odious accusation
against another power, which had been circulated through
Europe for months, when the refutation of it was in the
hands of those circulating the accusation. This was a
part of that policy of hatred and passion which had al-
ready acted so injuriously on the interests of this country.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to
say that the communication from the French Govern-
ment was in the nature of a formal communication,
whereas such was not the nature of the Austrian com
munication.
