burnt to death.—William Usher, a lad about 16, was sworn.
He stated, that he is an apprentice to Mr. Parsons, boot and
shoe maker, Of 67, Wardour-street, Soho ; that the deceased
resided with' her father and walla., in the first floor of
his masters house. On Thursday last, about 1 o'clock, witness
was on the second floor, when a dOg which belonged to the,de-
ceased's parents, came up stairs to him, and barked and howled
violently in his face, and then went down, still continuing to
bark; witness at this time heard screaming; and going downstairs
discovered the deceased on the landing.place, by the door,' enve-
loped in flames. Witness endeavoured to release the little suf-
ferer, by putting his apron over her head, but this only burnt
himself, without putting out tile fire. Witness called out to
his master, who came to the assistance of the deceased, and by
wrapping a blanket round her body, extinguished the devour-
ing element. At the time the accident occurred, the parents
of the deceased were out, and witness does not know how the
child's clothes caught. A medical gentleman being sent for,
advised that the deceased should be conveyed to St. George's
Hospital. Mr. Henry Pitman' house-surgeon to the Hospital,
stated, that tile deceased, was brought there on Thursday last,
about two o'clock ; her neck and back were dreadfully burnt ;
witness did'every thing necessary, but the deceased sunk, and
died about eight o'clock the same evening.—Verdict, " Acci-
dentally burnt to death."

{TIIE TIMES.]
It looks odd enough to see the Emperor of
Austria making a speech to any assembly, but
most of all to an assembly which assumes the
name and functions of a national representation.
His Majesty, however, has so exhibited himself,
in quality of King of Hungary—and has actually
addressed the Hungarian Magistrates, as if they
had wills and powers of their own to legislate
for the ,people. This, we repeat, is mighty odd
legitimacy. It must at the same time be con-
fessed, that in Hungary and the Hereditary States
the Austrian • Family enjoys the attributes, and
administers the benefits of a " Paternal Govern-
ment," if such a thing,exists, or has ever existed
on earth. There is no question of the mildness
with which the House of Austria reigns over its
ancient subjects, or of the hearty affection with
which. it is required by them. The bond seems
to .be formed by long habit, and by usages
mutually respected, while it is cemented by
ignorance, about equal on both sides, of the
progress of surrounding nations. Could Italy
be dragged down to the level of a German or
Hungarian appendage of the House of Austria, it
is possible that a similar intercourse of good-
humoured forbearance, stagnant capability, and
tame contentment, might be established between
Francis and his own countrymen, or between his
successors and theirs. But although Francis is
an Italian, so are the Milanese, and, no matter
bow they became any better than the fierce
Lords and untaught slaves of Presburg, they ac-
tually do contain amongst them numbers of the
most enlightened men in Europe, nor do we con-
ceive it possible that such a people ever can be
reduced by a policy of the most inexorable and
unchanging barbarism, into safe subjects of a Go-
vernment less civilized than themselves.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
The Austrian Observer, which arrived yester-
day, contains the Speech of the Emperor of Aus-
tria to the Hungarian Diet ; and, if it has not the
merit of sound principles, in which it was woe-
fully deficient, it claims at every line our marked
attention, on account of the good intention per-
wading it. The rarity of the thing too enhances
its value, as it is the first which the Emperor has
addressed for a long series of years, to any part
of the subjects of his extensive empire. As it
seemed to gratify in an extraordinary degree
both the august Speaker and his illustrious a.- -;
dience, it will probably not be the last, notwith-
standing. the affecting allusion to his advanced
age, which the Emperor made towards its con-1
elusion. We hope and trust another occasion will
soon present itself, for these meetings, as however
much in their present character they mark a depar-
ture from the original spirit of the institution, still
serve to call forth generous recollections, and
have contributed in this instance, by the enthu-
siastic feelings that have been displayed on both
sides, to draw the tie between the Sovereign and
the Notables of his kingdom more closely to.
gether. It is computed that 800 of the Mag-
nates were present on this solemn ; and
the Emperor, on his arrival,at his departure, and
particularly at the conclusion of his Speech, re-
ceived loud, long-continued, and, we believe, un-
feigned marks of attachment from this numerous
assemblage. The general enthusiasm caught the
Monarch himself ; and he we., moved to tears by
the demonstrations of love and respect with
which he was so repeatedly greeted. The Em-
press too and her sister, who were both present,
were seized with the general infection, and are
said to have sobbed aloud, when the Emperor
alluded to the uncertainty of human life and to
his advanced age, as reasons for immediately
giving effect to his paternal designs for the good
of his people. The Emperor Francis certainly
merits the love of his subjects, as far as good in-
tentions, unsupported by wise practice, entitle
him to it ; and amongst his own subjects, always
excepting the Italians, he is one of the most po-
pular Sovereigns in Europe. In the Hereditary
States, the system of Government is very mild in
its. operation ; and the condition of the people,
generally speaking, corresponds with it. But
still they are far from being what they might be-
come, were their energies called forth by a more
enlightened scheme of Government; and the war
against revolutionary France, to which the Em-
peror refers in his speech with so touch exultation,
is the very best proof of the debilitatiug effects of
the present system. More than once during that
period, they saw an enemy prophane their fire-
Sides,though they were numerous enough to repel
a foe thrice as strong. But the same leaden rule
which has made them quiet and submissive sub-
jects, has unfitted them for great emergencies like
that above-mentioned ; and domestic peace is
evidently purchased at too high a price, when it
detracts from the moral energy
_necessary to cope.
with extraordinary difficulties. Moreover,, the
feeble resources of the Austrian empire, 'as com-
Wed with its natural advantages, Which are no.
toriousty of the very higheit order, strongly
prove that there is something . radically vicious
49 the administration ; and, from this cause,
AuStria .is a whole century behind better-go-
:vetted States in those arts which are most
•essential to the prosperity of nations, and to the
weil-being of iudividuals. We are now better
able to appreciate the satisfaction whiCh the Em.
peror expresses, when he says that the pernicious
Ilibesral) doctrines, which have agitated other
countrie's, have made no progress in 'Hungary.
But if that ancient kingdom. has been 'spared the
_;agitation which the introduction of those opinions
*light have occasietted, she has also been deprived
~of:the vivifying energies which geuetaillyfollow
in their train. The country is tranquil ; but it
is a'repOse which enfeebles, and not strengthens ;
and her backward state of civilization attests its
narcotic effects. Its debilitating influence would
exhibit itself, too, were another extraordinary
eniergency to arise ; and what is that situation,
where there is no security for the future, and no'
•Agn eitnprovement during the present ? Such is
Hungary under the paternal rule of her present
Sovereign ; and such she will remain, till those

pernicious doctrines, which her King so strongly
reprobates, take root in the minds of the Hunga-
rians. There is one exhilirating theme, however,
in the speech of the Emperor ; and when he
sneaks of " the certain hope of continued peace,"
we believe he spoke from a strong presentiment
that his assurances would be realized.

MORNING POST.]

It appears, both by the French Papers which
arrived last night, and by the letters received
from Port-au-Prince yesterday, that the dissatis-
faction experienced by the Haytians in gene-
ral, at the enormous amount of the indemnity
agreed to be paid to France for the recognition
of their independence, has led to a serious at-
tempt against the authority of President Boyer,
connected with a plot to murder all the Mu-
latto part of the population, in whose hands
the Government of the country is placed.—
This attempt was made in the North, where, we
are told, the explanations given by the French
Negociator, Baron de Mackau, not having pene-
trated, the first unfavourable impression pro-
duced by the Royal Ordinance which declared
Hayti independent remained in all its original
strength. The discontented, however, had been
watched, and had i►o sooner proceeded to open
acts than they were seized, and their inten-
tions frustrated. They were found to consist
chiefly of of►cers in the army wl-o had serv-
ed under Christophe, and held an elevated
rank. Notwithstanding the assurances given
that the insurrection was easily put down, it
would seem from the statement that several shots
had been exchanged between the troops of
Boyer and the Conspirators, that considerable
resistance was made. The latest intelligence,
which comes down to the 14th of August, how-
ever, an►iounces that tranquillity had been en-
tirely restored in the North, but not till nume-
rous arrests had taken place, and several superior
Officers had been brought for trial to Port-au-
Prince.

rmo RIVING Cll IiONICLE.]
Consolq for Account opened yesterday at 87-1
88, and closed at 88 buyers, with very little bu-
siness doing: the speculators for the advance
look for an improvement, on account (as they
say) of the October dividends coming out next
week, and the favourable alteration apparent in
the Foreign Exchanges. Exchequer Bills have
fallen 1 dis. to 1 prem.—ln the Foreign Stocks
the only material alteration was in Colombian
Bonds, which advanced to 751 ; very large pur-
chases having been made for Money ; Mexican
Scrip was 104 to 104 dis.; Guatemala Scrip 32
dis., and generally --he South American Stocks
looked more firm ; Greek Scrip fluctuated about
24 discount ; Spanish. Old Bonds 1614. A va-
riety of disputes existed at the Stock Exchange,
respecting the late extensive failure; an eminent
Quaker firm has taken in Spanish Bonds for the
defaulter 5 per Cent. below the late market price
of the Bonds, at the same time charging about
30 per cent. per annum for the rate of interest in
what is termed the continuation from account day
to account day ; this the Committee of the Fo-
reign Market dispute. That court of equity con-
ceived, that if the party got interest at the rate of
30 per cent. some risk should be run. The
Quakers, however, thought they were safe with
the guard of 5 per cent., but the Bonds have fallen
to nearly the price at which they were taken in.
The dealers in shares continue inactive, on ac-
count of the comparatively low price of the Funds
and the state of the Money Market in the City.
The interest varies from 4 to 5 per cent. on mer-
chants' bills, and on Consols 3 to 4. Pasco
Shares were rather higher. In Bolivar Mining
there have been lately very extensive purchases,
on account of a report that three cargoes of cop-
per are ready for shipment on the coast of Co-
lombia. In the other shares there was little
doing, and the prices nearly the same as on Sa-
turday. It is rather remarkable that, notwith-
standing the depressed state of Shares, new Com-
panies are brought forward, and with apparent
success. The Iloomeavy Shares bear a premium
of 22 to 3 each. The New Distillery Company
is also highly spoken of, but the heavy payments
on the latter will probably keep it from rising to
any considerable premium, unless any intrinsic
value should occasion an advance. The projectors
of the Associations are, however, bold melt, in
bringing them forward in the present state of the
Market.
