MEETING AT CARDIFF IN BE-
HALF OF HUNG ARY.
A highly respectable and numerous meeting of the
inhabitants of Cardiff was held at the town hall, on
Friday, in behalf of this deeply-wronged people, C.
Vaehell in the chair, and the following rcsolutions passed
unanimously, and with great enthusiasm:-
1. " That in the opinion of this meeting the struggle
of the Hungarian people to maintain their independence,
and to vindicate their personal and constitutional fiber-
tes, entitles them to receive the warm sympathies of all
classes of the people of England and Wales.
2. " That this meeting earnestly calls upon the British
Government to recognise the independence of the Hun-
garian nation, and to negotiate a commercial treaty with
that country, that the moral and peaceful support of this
great empire may be given to a noble people who are
vindicating not only their own freedom. but the interests
of civilization and liberty against the Camarilla of Aus-
tria and the barbarians of Russia.
3. " That the foregoing resolutions, together with any
subscriptions that may be obtained, be forwarded to the
friends of Hungary in London; now acting on their
behalf.

" On behalf of the meeting,
C. lEELL , Chairman."
The meeting, being too largeVAC to be accommodated
within the wall', was adjourned to the front of the
building.
Mr. HENRY VINCENT, being present, address(d the
audience with one of his soul-stirring apreals. The
effect was electrical, and every hand was held up for the
sacred cause.

The subscription, when complete, is to be forwarded
to The Sun office, London.

It is computed there were upwards of two thousand
persons present.

If there be foundation for a rumour which yester-
day afforded subject-matter of gossip at several of the
clubs, a recent marriage between a young military gen-
tleman of large fortune and a lady who has distinguished
herself in many ways, of Hiberneo-Spanish extraction,
and now bearing a title conferred upon her by a cartain
German monarch, is likely to place the lady in a situa-
tion of still further notoriety. The relatives of the young
military Benedict, who are said to be much incensed at
the alliance, have, it is rumoured, received information
that the lady was previously married in India, that her
first husband is yet alive, that they have been separated
for three or four years, but that no legal proceedings
have taken place to annul the marriage, so as to leave
either party at liberty to marry again. According to
the current on dit a legal investigation is contemplated,
and a warrant for the fair one's capture has actually,
issued from the bureau of a west-end chef de police. In-
deed, there were some who confidently expected that she
would have been made amenable yesterday, but they
overlooked the fact that the happy couple repaired to
Ireland some days since, for the two-fold purpose of
passing the honeymoon and enjoying the festivities at-
tendant on the royal visit to that country.— Weekly
Chronicle.

ILLNESS or Slit C. ROWAN --We have received

THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE AND CANAL
COMPANIES.—Mr. Stephenson, the arbitrator appointed
to assess the claims of the Canal Company on the Lan-
caster and Preston Railway Company, for the use of the
Lancaster and Preston Railway from September, 1846,
to May, 1849, has given in his report. Tho total
amount of traffic over the line by the Carlisle Company
he estimates at 83,616/. 19s. 441., from which, deducting
28,062/. Bs. Bd. allowance to the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway Company for working expenses, the balance,
56,5514 los. iid., is the sum due to the Canal Company.
Should the Lancaster and Carlisle take possession of the
Lancaster and Preston Railway on the Ist of August, as
is expected, the Canal Company will be entitled to a
further amount for the additional two monthe—,ay the
recsirs for trAfic over the line, less about 33 per cent.
working expenses.—Carlisle Journal.

LIE FRANKLIN EXPEDITION.—Every one will be
concerned to hear that a dispatch has arrived at the Ad-
natralty from Sir John Richardson, without any news of
Sir John Franklin. The expedition had traversed the
coast from the Mackenzie and Coppermine river; but the
Esquimaux all declared that no white men had made
h appearance.and

Thus, for the present, all hope is cut off of discovering

regions of Arctic America.
Fictitious representations of what is praiseworthy
are useful for preparing the mind of man to act in real
life. Yet fiction itself has boundaries, which seund and
sober sense has a right to prescribe, but which the acute-
ness of feeling, and the vigour of fancy in men of genius,
are apt to overleap.--Eliza Cook's Journal.
