her, while I would leave the Church to distribute
it among her clergy as she pleased. Now as
to the means of obtaining a practical result, I
frankly confess that I look to public opinion as the means
of benefiting my native land and every country in
Europe. And here, perhaps, I may make a remark or
two relative to the resources of Hungary as an indepen-
dent nation. Hungary has no debts at all, because it is
in no way obliged to share in the debts of the house of
Hapsburg. We carried on the war by means of paper
money; but the house of Hapsburg burnt the greater
part of it, and we are quit of that debt.—(Laughter and
cheers.) Hungary, independent and free, will be rich in
resources; because if the principles of social order be
diffused throughout Europe, Hungary will not want to
keep up;large armies, and will have no great national
expenditure. Hungary, by means of municipal institu-
tions, is accustomed to cheap government. With a sur-
face of 4,000 geographical square miles, a population of
15,000,000, and a rich soil, she is naturally rich. Her
revenue amounts to 1,000,0001. annually, and her salt
mines are so productive that they cannot be consumed
for 1,000 years, if we should have all the nations of the
world to supply with salt. Besides, Hungary has large
national estates. Whilst the house of Austria is very
nearly bankrupt, Hungary has considerable resources.
I trust you will pay greater attention to the foreign
affairs of the country, by which means you will
be able to regulate the direction of all your public
concerns. My humble request is, that you will be
pleased, in every meeting, whenever the question may
arise, to remember that the question of Hungary is con-
nected with the victory of the principle of freedom in
Europe and the principle of self-government, and, there-
fore, whether on the question of free-trade or any other
question, I beg the people of England to declare that

The Honourable Gentleman resumed his seat amidst
the most enthusiastic cheering and waving of hats and
handkerchiefs.

present that night would teach their children next mor-
ning that Kossuth was the Alfred of Hungary. He
concluded by proposing " The Future of Hungary."
The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm, and was
acknowledged by M. Pulszky.
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, M.P., proposed " The Health of
Mr. George Dawson."
Mr. DA.wsoN, in returning thanks, said thiat whatever
any person might say to the contrary, Birmingham was
the most democratic town in England.—(Loud cheers.)
That would ever be the case from the first to the last of
the chapter.—(Cheers.) They might rely upon it that
the prOceedings of that day would teach them to look in
the first place to themselves. A man's salvation was
never worked out but by wormwood and gall—it was
the cause of man against despotism, the cause of God
against the devil.

Mir. Dawson was succeeded by Mr. Douglas, Mr.
Weston, and others. The meeting, however, became
very impatient, and about eleven o'clock the ladies left
the gallery. Mr. Muntz, in the course of a long speech,
abused the Times most heartily. The meeting broke up
about twelve o'clock.

FAREWELL TO KOSSUTH. ON HIS DE-
PARTURE FOR AMERICA.
Farewell to thee, Kossuth! with fervent emotion
Our English hearts bid thee God-speed on thy way.
In Freedom's fair cause may thy seal and devotion
Still shine as resplendent and clear as the day!
And though for the present the tyrants prove stronger,
Their glory shall soon in the dust be laid low.
Have courage, despair not, a little while longer,
And again thou shalt triumph o'er each haughty foe!
Yes! Russia and Austria's hireling bands
Will combine all their arms and their legions in vain;
The weapons of freedom shall gleam in the hands
Of men who have sworn their best rights to maintain,
And the good caase will ever at last be victorious.
Although for a time the oppressor may boast,
A day dawns fur Hungary, speedy and glorious,
When her sons may defy the imperial host!
And still may thy voice speak in Liberty's name,
And still may thine arm strike her foes with success,
Till the despots are covered with terror and shame,
And Victory's laurels thy brow wreathe and bless!
Farewell to thee, Kossuth! with fervent emotion
Our English hf arts bid thee God-speed on thy way,
And when thou in safety bast crossed the wide ocean.
Oh, think of the friends who now greet thee to-day!

DRURY-LANE T HEATRE.
JULLIEN'S CONCERTS.
Signor Sivori made his first appearance at these
concerts last evening, and performed a new fantasia
of his own composition, entitled " The Carnaval de
Cuba," in which he has adroitly contrived to concen-
trate all the difficulties of violin playing as though for
the sole purpose of proving how easily he can over-
come them. Several.of his tours de force are perfectly
marvellous, and as pleasing as they are marvellous.
Ilia right hand has not forgotten its cunning since
the recess, and he still, in spite of all rivals, main-
tains his position as the greatest violin-
ist who has appeared since Paganinni.
He was applauded to the echo. Bottesini was the
other solo player of the evening, and he created quite
a; furore by his exquisite management of that un-
wieldy instrument, the contra basso, which under his
inspiration " discourses most excellent music." It
would be an act of injustice to close this notice with-
out giving the highest praise to the band for the ad-
mirable manner in which they performed the andante
movement from Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. We
have never heard it more exquisitely rendered. The
house was crowded to suffocation.

MR. WRIGHT AT SHEFFIELD.
We are rejoiced to learn that *Wright is himself
again, and we hope soon to see him at the Adelphi.
He has completely recovered his voice ; as he himself
would phrase it, his voice " is as it used to was"—in
shurt, Wright is " all right." He is now starring it
at Sheffield, and has by his performance of Marma-
duke Magog, in The Wreck Ashore, and Mr. Bobtail,
in illy Precious Betsey, drawn crowded houses every
night.
