TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sit,—l beg to inclose the first half of a 51. note
(Bank of England, No. 09,004) to aid the noble and
oppressed Hungarian refugees to return to their native
country, accompanied, I hope, with such military stores
as are required by their heroic countrymen to repel the
Russian hordes of assassins from the free soil of Hun-
gary. My means are very limited, but this is a case
which calls for some sacrifice from every man whose
heart beats with the spirit of freedom, or with sympathy
for the oppressed. It is one of the most disgusting,
most immoral, invasions upon a free nation's rights and
independence recorded in history. Shame to the man,
but most of all to the Englishman, who can behold such
an unequal struggle between physical force and moral
right, and not step forward to help the weaker but most
righteous cause! I have been grieved to see, in the list
of subscriptions you have published, so few names of
the aristocracy and of the wealthy. I may say, also, so
few of the middle classes; and such a preponderance of
sympathy and of sacrifice from the poor but generous
English workmen and artisans. What, Sir! is the sym-
pathy for constitutional freedom, and the independence
of nations, extinct amongst the country gentlemen of
England, whose swords were once so nobly drawn in
defence of freedom at home? But, if our aristocracy
sympathise with the tyrant oppressors rather than witn
the brave defenders of Hungarian freedom, what pre-
vents the free, the wealthy, the moral middle classes of
England standing boldly forward in so holy a cause?
Can it be that they are waiting to see the names of
Dukes and Earls decorate the subscription list? Are
they deterred by the bought and profligate columns of
the Times, a journal whose wide-spread advocacy of
tyranny is a stain upon the whole English nation? Let
it not be said that we waited for rank and fashion to lead
the way, or that we were impeded by a venal print
from helping a noble people in their death sti uggle with
ruthless barbarians? Sir, there is no time to lose—we
have delayed too much already—in loudly declaring our
sympathy, and sending our aid to the devoted defenders
of freedom in Eastern Europe. In this, the eleventh
hour, let us hasten to cheer them in their gallant ifforts
to save from Cossack pollution their hearths and altars!
Let our money be freely, because righteously, given to
inraish them with every means of defence ! And God
defend the right !
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
_York, July 25th, 1849. A YORKSHIREMAN.
remaining half-note shall be sent to you
immediately after the receipt of this has been noticed in
The Sun.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--Along with the extract from Kossuth's procla-
mation, why should you not print a quotation from Lord
Chatham's celebrated speech on the employment of
Indians against the Americans?
"While a foreign soldier was landed in my country, I
would never lay down my arms! Never! Never! Never!"
The extract is short, and, as the sentiment of a great
British statesman,it may serve to counteract the malicious
Misrepresentations of those who dare to insinuate that
there
in is any connexion between resistance to Cossack
invasion and the odious cause of anarchy and rebellion.
Your obedient servant,
A LOYAL ENGLISHMAN.

SIR TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
—lltaanitY . _
—Your noble advocacy of the cause of justice andby your stirring appeal on behalf of the Hun-
garians, deserves much commendation, though perhaps
it may. in tte end be more advantageous that tyranny
Lin •
us ustlce might succeed in crushing their liberties.
not despair, but hope that the evident march of
reason and justice will ultimately triumph in establishing
principles more noble and godlike than can be effected
by force of arms, however noble and just the cause
may be.
Let then crowned heads ponder the following precepts
from the ancients:—.
BoRACE, TRANSLATED BY MILTON.
Whom do we count a good maw?,—whom but he
Who keeps the laws and statutes of the senate,
Who judges in great suits and controversies,
Whose witness and opinion wins the cause?
But his own house and the whole neighbourhood
Sees his foul inside through his whited skin.
El:711111DES, TRANSLATED BY MILTON.
This is true liberty, when freeborn men
"laving to advise the public may speak free;
Which he who can and will deserves high praise;
Who neither can or will may hold his peace;
What can be juster in a state than this?

SENECA.
There can be slain
No sacrifice to God more acceptable
Than an unjust and wicked king.
Let wicked and unjust kings, emperors, presidents,
judges, and generals remember that their foul ways may
excite what some would term just revenge—at all events,
let them remember, that whilst they pursue their vicious
course, they will most certainly be punished even in this
world, though not corporially, yet mentally, in the loss of
peace of mind, by being obliged to suitain a black and
corrupted heart and th,! gnawing of a guilty conscience,
and that the time is now come when wise men will no
longer be persuaded that the Pope or any other means,
except the power of Omnipotence, can save them from
the consequences of their rebellion against the laws of
God and man.
But the French tyrants (I do not mean noble and
illustrious Lamartine and his friends) appear to me to
have acted a still more base part towards the Romans
by destroying their (the Romans') freedom under the
sk of hbeiiy, and like the cowardly assassin are revel-
ling in their success. Fur their consideration, also, let
me
live two or three more quotations from the an-
cients:—

DANTE.
0 Constantine, of how much ill was cause,
Not thy conversion, but those rich domains
That the first wealthy Pope received of thee.
Pounded in chaste and humble poverty,
'Gainst them that raised thee dolt thou lift thy horn?
Then ARIOSTO.

chic passed he to a fhwery mountain green
h once smelt sweet, now stinks as odiously.
was the gift, if you the truth will have,
That Constantine to
good Sylvester gave.
'rig you that
sa SOPHOCLES.
y it, not I,—you do the deed,
And Your ungodly deeds find me the words.
—f
all tyranny, that effected under the garb of reli..
eon is the most detestable, as subverting the truth, and
consequently the principles
of pure Otristianity, viz.," do-
lny to others as ye would that others should do.
Yours, &c.

DEATH BY LIGHTNING AT WOOLWICLI.---An awful
thunder storm passed over Woolwich shortly after four
o'clock, P.M., yesterday, at the time the baud had assem-
bled on the parade ground for their usual afternoon per-
formance. A number of men of the 7th battalion were
told of for duty to keep back the crowd generally pre-
sent from pressing too closely upon the band; and while
employed in that way the lightning descended amongst
them, killing Gunner Queeny on the spot, and knocking
down Gunner Milistead with such force that he remained
speechless for some time. Several others were stunned,
but soon recovered. On lifting up the body of Gunner
Queeny, it was found that the electric fluid had passed
through his fatigue cap, which was burnt, and through
bit skull, coming out below the lower jaw-bone, and
running down his body to the lower part of his side,
where it left him. The bodies of both gunners were
immediately conveyed to the hospital, that assistance
blight be obtained for the gunner still in life.
