Hungary—whether by treason, or by brute force,
or by both combined, it matters not, as far as our
present argument is concerned—has been invaded,
des dated, and conquered, has been trodden down
under the feet of a despotic coalition. One party to
this great crime of cruelty and spoliation has with-
drawn her forces. The Russians have retired beyond
the uthern boundaries of Transylvania. The
Austrians have been left sole masters of the van-
quished country. German soldiers have garrisoned
the fortresses. German civilians are already being
installed in all the lucrative offices of the Administra•
Lion. German captains, headed by the ever-infamous
HAYNAU, have erected their military tribunals in the
principal cities, to stab and strangle, to shoot and
hang, to d..stroy by the musket and by the gibbet,
those heroic hut unfortunate patriots who, while
repelling the advance of their assailants, only afforded
them the noblest examples of magnanimity. Hence-
forth Austria must be regarded, in its relation to
Hungary, as occupying the position of a robber and
an assassin. Henceforth the Austrian EMPEROR
must be viewed simply and exclusively in the light

of en Usurper.
During the last eight hundred years Hungary has
appeared in the history and on the chart of Europe as
an independent nation. It has had during those eight
centuries a Representation of its own, a Constitution
of its own, and a Government of its own. Subject to
no other kingdom beyond its frontiers, it has,
throughout that long period, preserved all its popular
rights intact, rights of immemorial antiquity. It is
true, undoubtedly, that the royal office has been
latterly filled by the reigning Sovereign of that
heterogeneous assemblage of states called Austria ;
but that union of the regal dignity in the person of
the representative of the Hapsburg dynasty is of
comparatively recent date ; and it must, moreover, be
borne in recollection that it was conferred upon the
descendants of RUDOLPH voluntarily by the Magyars
—at first electively, and afterwards as a hereditary
rank on certain conditions. Those conditions were to
swear fealty to the Hungarian Constitution on the
day of coronation, and to observe that solemn oath
with truthfulness after coronation. Now, according
to the latter stipulation, FERDINAND the Faineant
forfeited the crown of St. Stephen by breaking his
engagement; and according to the former stipulation
FRANCIS JOSEPH, the TVonzan-Flogger, has no more
right to that crown than we have, never having been
selected as its possessor by the Magyars, and conse-
quently never having taken the requisite oath on the
day of coronation.

So glaring and preposterous is the folly of calling
Hungary an Austrian province that it has been
scouted as an absurdity by every rational juriscon.
suit. One has even gone so far has to declare em-
phatically—" If England is a province of Hanover,
then, and not any more, is Hungary a province of
Austria; and King ERNEST of Hanover has, at least,
as much right to the throne of England as FRANCIS
JOSEPH has to that of Hungary." Indeed the relative
position in which Austria stands to Hungary could
not have been more felicitously indicated than by this
comparison between it and the relation subsisting
between Hanover and England. Besides, even sup-
posing FRANCIS JOSEPH to have been crowned, like
his predecessor FERDINAND, with the diadem of St.
Stephen, the Magyars would still retain the power
possessed and exercised at intervals by them.
selves during no less than six centuries,

Again the sanguinary scenes of Dolly's Brae are
forced upon our consideration. The blood-stained
actors in that revolting tragedy have dared to
threaten a renewal of their atrocities on the coming
sth of November. The Orange press, the Orange
magistrates, and their bigoted sympathisers, are in
arms against the constituted authorities, and call for
a demonstration condemnatory of the Government
policy in the dismissal of Lord RODEN and his
brother Orangemen from the commission of the

as his duplicity was discovered. FRANCIS JOSEPH
in like manner, supposing he had been elected and
crowned sovereign of Hungary (which he never has
been), would ipso facto have been dethroned by
drawing the sword, and causing his army to cross the
frontier of his German territories. To talk of the

peace.
To calmly argue with the projectors and perpe-
trators of massacre, would be an useless waste of
time ; to offer a word of argument or remonstrance
to those who would countenance the cowardly
slaughter of innocent childhood and feeble old age,
would be worse than idle ; such monsters reason
could not convince, nor kindnes s conciliate. But to
that portion of the Irish public—and, thank GOD,
they are still alarge majority, even in that ill-fated land
—who believe murder a crime, and homicide unchris-
tian—who blaspheme not against religion by torturing
the peaceful and love-teaching doctrine of CEIRIST
into the unholy Shibboleth of faction—to them we
would say—For ages has your rich and lovely island
been the victim of dissension ; the demon of discord
has been stalking through your land, disorganizing
the social elements, and scaring from your shores
that wealth which would make your starving people
peaceful and happy. Arise, then, in the might and
majesty of patriotism ; strengthen the power of the
laws, by aiding the Executive in crushing this fell
and fiendish faction. Meet in your counties, in your
cities, in your towns, and call with firm and em-
phatic voice upon the able and enlightened states-
man who represents the QUREN and the laws in
Ireland to persevere in the wise and firm policy he
has hitherto pursued, and let these murderous fac-
tions be crushed at once and for ever.

revolt of the Hungarians is consequently to talk
sheer nonsense. As has been said very forcibly and
very admirably by one of our pamphleteers—`• Eng-
land would not be in a state of revolt because she
resisted an invasion by King ERNEST (of Hanover),
and the Emperor of A.IISTRIA is, so far as Hungary is
concerned, a mere invader of a foreign and inde-
pendent kingdom." Yet men babble about the
" revolt" of the Hungarians as if the treason was on
the side of the Magyars, and not on the side of the Red
Emperor of AUSTRIA !
As striking an analogy exists between the English
revolution of 1688 and the Hungarian revolution of
848 as between the relative position of England and
Hanover and the relative position of Austria and Hun-
gary. King JAMES the SECOND forfeited his crown
by his interference with the national Constitution.
King FERDINAND the FIFTH (otherwise Emperor of
Austria) forfeited his crown, not only by breaking

WILLIAM BEERS, the wretched man who organized
the Orange procession to the scene of murder, has
had the temerity to pour forth one of his furious
tirades to the LORD CHANCELLOR of Ireland on acknow-
ledging his Lordship's supersedeas. He commences
naturally enough by pouring vituperation on the able
and impartial Commissioner who investigated the
horrible massacre at Castlewellan. The only way in
which Mr. BEERS could damage the fair fame of Mr.
BERWICK would be by afflicting him with his appro-
bation. fie says he did not hold the commission of
the peace as " the partisan of this or any other -Go-
vernment ;" we can believe this truly, we can believe
he did not hold his commission to aid any Govern-
ment in carrying out the laws ; we believe he held it
rather as the partisan and instrument of a vile and
wicked faction, and was allowed to hold it fifteen
years too long. He says his commission was taken
from him, " not because he had dishonoured his
magisterial functions, but because he had the honesty
to avow himself the fearless supporter of the Orange
institution, the glory and the bulwark of the land."
Can the man who writes such gigantic falsehood and
folly be of sound mind ? We would be almost disposed
to think that the monstrous absurdity of this
stilted nonsense would form sufficient grounds to
sue out a writ of lunacy, and it would not greatly
surprise us if the LORD CHANCELLOR gave a hint
to the solicitor for lunatics on the subject. BEERS
and his 400 ruffians the bulwarks of the land ! We,
" the tailors of Tooley-street," is simple, bashful
modesty to this. People of Britain, be no longer
afraid of French invasion—you may now burn your
old wooden walls, for you have the gallant wreckers of
Castlewellan who marched triumphantly to the battle-
field with an escort of police and Dragoons, and leaving
their escort to meet the battle's brunt in the open
plains, betook themselves to the more genial achieve-
ments of burning cabins and shooting old women and
children—these are the bulwarks of Ireland !
" The LORD-LIEUTENANT," Mr. BEERS continues,
"should not sympathise with assassins." No, we
trust be will not. We trust he will stretch
forth the strong arm of the law and let
it fall with atoning vengeance upon the
assassins and their abettors. Can this man be
alive to the common sympathies of humanity ? When
he spoke of assassins did not the agonizing shriek of
the poor] idiot ring in his ears—the crazed and
sinless being afflicted with that fearful malady upon
which all humanity looks with feelings of awe and
pity—did no remorse seize him when he remembered
how this creature, who stood unaccountable even
before his GOD, had his skull battered in by his ruth-
less brothers ? Was this even considered no blot
upon the triumph of the day ? Lord CLARENDON, he
says, should not have stigmatised loyal men ! How
sickening is this vaunting of lip loyalty ! We have
some faint notion of the quality of Orange loyalty.

Several fortuitous circumstances have unhappily
tended to dissipate many of those sanguine hopes
which were inspired by the accounts relating to Sir
JOHN FRANKLIN'S expedition recently brought to
this country by the Truelove. Reflection has con-
siderably shaken the public confidence in the veracity
of the story told to the captain of that vessel by one
of the more communicative Esquimaux. And, cer-
tainly, at the first blush it does appear strange that
the informant, speaking as an eye-witness, could
produce not the smallest credential as to the truth of
his narrative. A glance at the masterly chart of the
Arctic Regions just issued from the establishment of
Mr. WYLD, will neverthless show sufficiently well
that from the supposed position of the missing expedi-
tion the navigators are by no means situated so
perilously as many have been led to ima-
gine. Access to them is possible from two directions,
either by Hudson's Straits or by Davis' Straits, either
by proceeding from the latter through Baffins's Bay
and Lancaster Sound, or from the former through
Fox's Channel and the Gulf of Boothia. Of course
these tracks are spoken of as possibilities, always
under a contingency—the contingency that they are
not rendered impenetrable by a barrier of frozen
mountains. According to the calculation generally
credited, the ships of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN'S expedi-
tion are in that portion of Prince Regent's Inlet,
lying immediately between Batty River and Point
Bowen. What appears, however, to be the principal
error, not only in the plan of affording succour to the
distressed adventurers, but also in the entire scheme
of all such exploring expeditions,' is this—that all
such enterprises are caused to run exactly counter to
the currents in the Northern Seas. For whereas the
currents flow from west to east—the struggles of our
Arctic navigation are perversely directed from east to
west. Hence all these delays, anxieties, and
dangers. Hence this agonizing chance of a
calamity. The blunder is altogether too glaring not
to demand correction. The miscalculation is altogether
too manifest not to require a speedy and permanent
rectification. We shall await this with pro-
found solicitude. Meanwhile it is but due
to humanity that no exertion should be
spared to forward succour of any and every
description to Sir JOHN FRANKLIN and his compa-
nions. Least of all should the daring and generous
proposal which has recently emanated frnm Lieu-
tenant GALE, the enterprising aeronaut, be disre-
garded as impracticable and Quixotic. It should be
remembered that that gentleman, by undertaking to
carry out the plan he has himself voluntarily pro-
pounded, would be at once perilling his life and
jeopardizing his reputation. That reflection alone is
amply sufficient as a guarantee that his proposition is
very far indeed from being wild or extravagant.
Whatever may be the means adopted to carry assistance
to the distressed mariners in the Arctic regions, it is
I earnestly to be hoped that some positive intelligence
, may be received, before many weeks have elapsed,
assuring us of the safety of the expedition.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady at previous rates. The sales were estimated
at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales, including 1,000 American
on speculation.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was
dope at rather higher prices.
The Colonial markets have been firm this week, and
the holders have refrained from pressing sales. Coffee
and Sugar are dearer; Cotton has maintained its value;
Rice has been somewhat cheaper, and the Indigo auc-
tions have been brought to a close under favourable cir-
cumstances.
There are arrivals from Australia and the Cape of
Good Hope. The Sydney dates are to June 2. After
a long period of drought refreshing showers had fallen.
Trade was still inactive on the whole, but there were
certain imported articles which realised good prices,
bottled porter, iron, and currants, being in this category.
Rum was lower than for years. Wheat was voted 4s.

From Van Diemen's Land our accounts are to June 6.
The Lady Amherst had arrived out with immigrants,
and married couples were obtaining engagements at 20,

convict question was still the engrossing topic.
Tt e Cape advices are to Aug. 21. On the frontier
the new system worked admirably in preventing Kafir
depredations, and Sir Harry Smith was highly popular.
The state of affairs at Natal, if rightly described in the
Graham's Town journals, is not satisfactory. The
Lieutenant-Governor was not expected to live, an
entire want of confidence is stated to prevail among
the mercantile community, the treasury was empty, and
all improvements were at a stand still. We shall have
an opportunity, probably, of verifying or disproving
these assertions by
.private sources, and especially from
the verbal communications of a gentleman who has just
arrived from the settlement, and intends to return.
The report of the Amsterdam Stock Market, dated
Wednesday, is favourable. A good business was done

summary of the calculations before us:—

the whole monarchy, have been deprived by the
Magyars of all their property, the Patriarch has
addressed a letter to the Imperial Ministry, in
which he portrays the sad destitution of his people,
and implores that the Government will minister to
their relief; and that, should their funds be inade-

A GOOD ‘SuoT.—Last week as Air. Gill, of Wil-
liam•stoue, was hunting for a woodcock in the banks
adjoinng his residence, he sprung a a abbit, and at the
same moment a large blue hawk dart&d from the thicket
in pursuit of it; but just as it wasp the act of pouncing
upon its prey, Mr. G. levelled his piece, and with the
contents of one barrel killed them both.—Dumfries
