UTA It It I A G E.
One half the won' are desolately single, end the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense el right determine the former, and miscalculate hopes em-
tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demend that health shouldform 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
hstaatdtheebteaheffanat i
itodfeNlibo oybml
eAev,u
shr
ta d stated that no communication
eNaples.
Secretary
ohra nowd
Foreignt o
Friend andth
Affairs had had made to him in the course of conversa-
tion a communication from the Austrian Minister, of
theintention of hia 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 besn 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.

HOLLAND.

AMSTERDAM—The Dutch papers contain a full
account of the inauguration of the KING, which took
place with great solemnity at the cathedral church of
Amsterdam, on the morning of the 12th. In the
evening the city was illuminated. Both the KING
and QUEEN visited the principal places in the city to
view the illuminations. In honour of his inaugura-
tion his Majesty has made an immense number of
promotions and nominations in the civil administra-
tion, in the army, and in the three orders. His Ma-
jesty has also presented the sum of 6,000 florins to
the burgomaster of Amsterdam for distribution among
the poor.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The result of the elections for Paris is not yet
completely known, although it is certain that LEDRU-
ROLLIN, Sergeant-Major BOICEIET, LAGRANGE and
PIERRE LEROUX are returned. In the provinces M.
DUPONT DE L'EURE and the LAFAYETTES have lost
their election. M. TRIERS and Admiral CECILLE
have been returned for Rouen; the whole of the
members for La Vendee are Legitimatists, the whole
of those for the Indre Republicans, and the whole of
those for the Cher Socialists. Not a single vote was
recorded in the Upper Marne for the Prince DE
JOINVILLE. M. DUPIN has been thrown at Nifvre.

The Moniteur contdins the official announcement of
the appointment of M. LACROSSE ad interim to the
Ministry of the Interior in the room or M. LEON
FAUCHER.

The Moniteur publishes the 'following telegraphic
dispatch from Admiral TRECIOUART, dated Toulon,
May

--6:611 the day before yesterday, at 7 o'clock, P.M., I
left Civita Vecchia, where the report was current suit:
the previous day that two Roman envoys had arrived at
our head•quarters, as the bearers of words of accommo-
dation. These reports have been confirmed to me by a
letter from the general-in-chief of the 13th, from Cattle
di Guido. He says, 'already serious propositions of
submission have been made to me. We are for the
Romans the anchor of safety. I arrive at Toulon with
the Labradore and Sane, in order that they may assist
in transporting as quickly as possiblw the numerous
horses which are to be s.-nt to Civita Vecchia.'"

The House then adjourned at Half-past Eleven.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

The run yesterday was all in favour of the recent ar-
rival at Danebury—Chatterer—and so strong was it that
in less than a coupe of hours 7to 1 was taken freely.
The outlay was heavy. The Flying Dutchman remains
precisely as on Wednesday, viz.—at 2 to 1; 9 to 4, or
even less, would have been taken. His companion, El-
thiron, as the odds will show, was not out of favour.
Nunnykirk was backed for several hundreds at 4 to 1,
but Tadmor did not maintain the position he occupied
on Wednesday. Scarcely any business was done ex-
cept on the four leading favourites. Very little was
done on the Oaks; but Gliuca and Sister to Arkwright
may be selected as having been most conspicuously in
favour. The latest prices were:—

NAVIGATION LAWS.

Lord STANLEY said that he carefully consider ed
the proposed Bill for the repeal of the navigati, )n-
-laws, for the purpose of seeing what alte ta-
tions he could consent to in those laws, Eli at
he found that the Bill was founded upon a princi p le
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 certain words should be omitted, rt id
that certain other words carrying out his vic+ws
should be introduced instead of the words at present in
the Bill. He proposed to maintain the principle of la of
granting a British registry to a foreign ship, to maint a in
the coasting trade for British vessels, and to uphold be
principle of the existing navigation-laws with some 1:e vv
exceptions.

Earl GREY hoped the Noble Lord's amendmen is
would distinctly set forth what was the state of the hi w
which he wished maintained.

After a few words from the Marqnis of LANSDOW
and Lord STANLEY the subject dropped.
The Bishop of OXFORD gave notice that ho she
propose an amendment on Monday in the Committee. on
the Navigation Laws.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA has returned to Vienna.
He will not, it is said, go back to the army.
The Cologne Gazette states that a battle took place
on the 3d between Aes and Szany, in which the
Magyars completely defeated the Imperialists. As
the Austrian and reactionary faction in this country
has been industriously circulating a false report,
stating that the national cause of Hungary is repu-
diated by the Magnate families of the .Magyars, we
think it right to give the following list of officers
belonging to Magnate families at present serving in
the Hungarian army, in order to prove the falsehood
of these assertions.

THE POTTERS' EMIGRATION SOCIETY.—OH Wed-
nesday evening last Mr. Evans, founder of the Potters'
Emigration Society, delivered a lecture at Carpenters'
Hall. The large and commodious room was well filled;
and the lecture, developing the principles and objects of
the society, was listened to with much interest. From
the statements of the lecturer, it would appear that the
Potters' Society is now in possession of three large
estates in Western America. The first estate, compris-
ing 1,600 acres, is now peopled; it is named Potters •
ville. The second estate, comprising 2,000 acres, and
named Emancipation, is in the course of' peopling. It is
on the south bank of the Fox River, and is said to com-
prise a succession of " oak openings," and to be rich in
minerals. The third estate, comprising the large quan-
tity of 12,000 acres, is situate on the north brnk of the
Fox River, and runs parallel with Emancipation. Two
hundred families are now located on the last purchase,
and from the remarks of the lecturer it would appear
that the colonists are well satisfied with their change of
country. Mr. Evans lectured at Bury on the previous
Monday, and at Staleybridge and Ashton-under-Lyne on
Thursday and Friday evenings. The society appears to
be in a progressive and prosperous state, the receipts fel-
the last week being 1221. 17s. 9i 1.--/tfanchester Axaminer.
FIRE AT BETHNAL-GREEN.—Last evening, about
five o'clock, the inhabitants of Ann-street, Bethnal
green-road, were greatly alarmed in c.bnsequence of the
outbreak of a fire upon the premises in the joint ozcupa-
tion of Mr. Silverton, a fancy cabinet-maker, and Mr.
Taylor, a trimming manufacturer, situate in the above-
named thoroughfare. The flames originated from some
cause at present unknown, and so rapidly did they pro-
gress. that in the space of a few minutes the whole of
Silverion's stock in trade became ignited, and when
the fire penet-aced the roof it ascended so fearfully us to
endanger the contiguous property. Tne mains of the
East London Company having yielded an abundant
supply of water, the parish engines and firemen set to
work most vigorously. but they were unable to get the
mastery over the conflagration until property. rou4hly
estimated in value at from 4001. to 500/., had been
destroyed.
The Bishop of Guiana had an interview yesterday
with Earl Grey. Mr. Hodges, M.P., had also an inter-
view yesterday with the Noble Earl at the Colonial-
office.

The peasant electors of the district of Schwitz, to
the number of eighty, have addressed the following
strange requisition to the KING :
" We approach your Mujesty as sots approach a
father, with respect and unbounded confidence. We
hear that we must soon elect new Deputies for Berlin.
We, therefore, humbly ask your Majesty, if we must
elect? We would much rather not do so, but leave our
welfare, as we did formerly, to the wisdom of your Ma-
jesty. But, if we must elect, we should like to be in-
formed whom we shsllselect so as to meet your Majesty's
approbation. We ere people, for the most part, only
speaking the Polish language, but possessing true Prus-
sian hearts. We are fined with the greatest gratitude
for the benefits conferred upon
us by your Majesty's
illustrious predecessors; therefore, we are filled with
hatred towards these who seek to enfeeble your Majes-
ty's power. We only await a summons from your Ma-
jesty to shed our heart's blood for your throne. This
assurance we most reepect'Ully deposit hereby at your
Majesty's feet, and will die your Majesty's devoted sub-

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Miss Cushman has been engaged here to give four
farewell performances; the first of which took place
last evening, when she repeated the part of Meg Mer-
rilies, in which she had appeared at this theatre on the
previous Wednesday, for the benefit of Miss Kathleen
Fitawilliam. Mr. C. Romer made his debiit, as Henry
Bertram, and achieved a moderate success. The Meg
Merrilies of Miss Cushman was, of course, the great
point of attraction, and magnificently did she perform
the part. She threw into every gesture, every word
every look, a degree of supernatural sublimity, which
sermed as of one whose course of being was not of the
common order, of one " who could ride the whirlwind
and direct the storm," of one who, like Prospero, was
a ruler of the elements, and a reader of the decrees of
fate. At the end of the play she was called on and
greeted with rapturous applause.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,--Your corri-spolident, calling himself " A Hun-
garian," published last Tuesday a long article in an Aus-
trian spirit, and with regard to Kiissuth, expresses him-
self' amongst other things, to this i ffect :
" I will not revive the not very honourable reminis-
cences of his private life."
And further—

" That never was so indisputable a talent as an agita-
tor and demagogue combined with so total a want of
candour and political honesty and all sentiments of rec-
titude and loyalty, with so vain presumption, or with
such signal perfidy, as in the person of the leader of the
Hungarian revolution."
Speaking from personal observation, we emphatically
declare your correspondent's assertion with regard to
Kossuth to be an unfounded calumny, and dare this ano-
nymous informant openly and distinctly to utter all he
has to say against Komiuth's private character. Let
him revive these threatened reminiscences; we are ready
to answer him. As to Kossuth's public life, it is wt-11
known; history will pass its impartial judgment on him;
but even in this respect we invite your correspondent to
quote in corroboration of his assertion a single deed,
speech, or order of Kossuth's.
We are, Sir, your ( bndient servants,

BADEN AND THE PALATINATE.
The Journal de Frankfort contains the following :
" We have just receiv. 41 a letter from Carl-ruhe of the
sth, which says, ' The Bombardment of Radstadt com-
menced the evening before last, and from the report
very heavy artillery must be used. The fortress was
vigorously bombarded last night; it is impossible that
it can hold out long. It is commanded by an officer of
the Baden dragoons named Tiedemann. The French
Government has caused the arrest of Dr. Kuchling, the
Civil Commissary of Kehl, who had fled to Strasburgh,
and who was the principal author of the arrest of the
courier of the Embassy of Weil, who was, it is said,
taken to Radstadt and assassinated. The Frerch Go-
vernment wish to bring Dr. Kuchling before a court-
martial, which is generally approved of, as he has exer-
cised a frightful terrorism in the country. "
M. KINKEL, an ex• deputy and professor at the
university of Bonn, was shot on the 2d, in the forest
of Rindheim, for participation in the events of
