On Saturday evening M. *a ssu th delivered his second
lecture in the Edinburgh Music Hall, which was crowded
in every part.
Dr. ScnMrrz, of the High School, occupied the chair,
and many of the most influential citizens were present
on the platform. The chairman having, in a few obser-
vations, introduced the illustrious Magyar,
M. Kossuzer stood forward, and was received with
loud and repeated plaudits. He began by declaring that
he was not prepared to see such a ready assent being
given to the Concordat by the Emperor of Austria. In
tines acting, Francis Joseph had become guilty of the
most fl tgrant violation of solemn treaties. These treaties
M. Koseuth detailed at some length, and afterwards pro-
ceeded to discourse of the rights and privileges which
used to be enjoyed by both the clergy and laity of Hun-
gary, particularly as respected their immunity from the
power and jurisdiction of the Ceui tof Rome. He
showed that no order or bull of the R amen Pontiff
was vela! in Hungary until the Legislature had ac-
corded its consent ; and even the regulation concerning
the celibacy of the clergy (which he considered an act of
craft, as severing all social ties between the priests and
people) was not carried out in Muagary till such con- I
sent was obtained. M. Kossuth then contrasted the
fernier happy state of affairs and the horrors that threat-
ened by the introduction of the Concordat ; and, after
dwelling on that point, he said that irons this they would
understand the lamentable cenlition of his poor native
country, which, notwithstanding its eminent services
rend. r ,1 to Christendom, apnea' e I &mine Ito :suffer all
the exeru ;iation which the co operation of king-craft and
priestcraft could devise. It was nit enough to have
lost, by Russian ineertnrertae, her constitutional r'ghte
aneleeeeeioral,eiieeentie-letet4ey the Concordat Hungary
was now doomed to total destruction. A Roman Pope
was to be the supreme lord of his unfortunate country.
Yet this was not enough. The one executive organ for
carrying out his decrees was to be created by forming
into bind tools the patriotic Catholic clergy of Hun-
gary, and the collation of ecclesiastical edifices was to be
brought under the grasp of the Roman Popes. The Con-
cordat brought the disposition of that Power, from the
archbishop down to the collation of the sandiest perish
living, either under the direct disposition or the indirect
control of the Popo. No priest would be permitted
henceforward to enter upon the temporal emoluments
of the benefice without the permission of the Pope—
upon the Pope's pleasure depended his emoluments—the
Pope was his benefactor, his master—his lord. The
whole education of the people, and the whole of the
press, was placed under the arbitrary control of the
priests thus organised ; while a thing was reserved to
the civil Government but only to act the beadle at the
command of the Bishops, and to provide money, more
money, and still more money. (Hear, h ar.) He•wes
perfectly ju.tified in saying that Pope Pius IX. was
encroaching on the liberty of Hungary, because he was
guilty of the most flagrant violation of the canonical
constitution of his own church, and might, from a pon-
tifical point of view, be considered a heretic himself.
(Laughter and cheers.) Some said that was but free -
dom --a species of self-government ; but he said it was
hypocrisy. They must have seen that the Concordat
had very little to do with religion, but very much with
wealth, and all other temporal advantages. Some said
the State should not interfere with the Church. His
principle had an essential corollary, that the Church
should not interfere with the State. No man could
serve two masters. (Hear, hear.) History would bear
witness that it was not less treasonable to betray
a nation into the hands of an ambitious Pope than it
would be to betray it into the hands of a temporal prince.
(Hear.) He then proceeded to allude at ',some length to
the Protestant institutions of Hungary. As soon as the
House of Hapsburg ascended the throne, they com-
menced an attack on the religious freedom of the land.
Those attacks had been since incessantly repeated, and
would be continued as long as an Hap-burg was allowed
to hold his dcminion over his (tl. Kossuth's) noble but
unfortunate native land. (Hear.) Against civil and reli-
gious liberty were those attacks made ; but those prin-
ciples were always inscribed on the Hungarian banners
against Austrian intolerance and despotism. Tire schools
were occupied by foreign mercenaries, and given over to
the ROITLVI Catholics—clergymen were treated as felons
—tortured and placed in dungeons—exiled, or chained
to the oars of the galleys—the noblest and the best of
patriots were hung, drawn, and quartered, and their
bodies were given for food to the ravens. (Cries of shame )
Whole communities fled to the mountains and caves—
such was the paternal rule of the Austrian House of
Hapsburg. But not less persistent than the persecution
had been the national resistance. Five times did Hun-
gary rise in arms in self-defence. (Cheers.) But the
legal establishment of the Protestant Church was steadily
advancing and consolidating ; and it spread its root deep
in the congenial soil of his country—a country always
favourable to the principle of self-government. (Hear )
He must say that, for the progress in consolidatit a and
development, the Protestants of Hungary were mainly
indebted to their Catholic brethren. No nation on earth
was more tolerant than the Hungarian—(heae)—and, in
fact, their differences of religious views never did inter-
fere in their social relations, or their organisation of poli-
tical parties. Nine millions of Roman Catholics ap-
plauded, in his person, the election of a Protestant to the
highest dignity in the commonwealth—(lond applause)—
while three millions of Prote-tants applauded his choice,
in his position as President of Hungary, when he named
a Roman Catholic Archbishop to be Minister of Public
Instruction. (Hear.) A Hungarian formed his estimate
of the worth of a man not by his creed—(itearl—hut by
his morality and patriotism. (Loud applause.) Extremely
susceptible of his own freedom of conscience, he was ex-
tremely jealous that the freedom of his neighbour's con-
science should be respected likewise. Let him make
his vow between himself and his God—no one should
enter in between. The Roman Catholice of Hungary
had fought side by side with, and bled and died for,
the religious freedom of their Protestant brethren. Now,
in order that they might see to what extent the legal
privileges of Hungary had been infringed by Francis
Joseph, it would be necessary to say a few words of the
constitution of the Protestant Church of Hungary. The
Calvinists and Lutherans comprised this Church. The
Lutherans, but not the Calvinists, had a general assem-
bly of all the districte, with a general lay inspector,
elected by universal suffrage. Though entirely depend-
ing on voluntary contributions, the Protestant schools of
Hungary were prosperous, and enjoyed great reputation,
and were acknowledged even to be superior to the edu-
cational establishments of the Roman Catholics, though
these had vast resources, and were patronised by the
Pope. But the schools had to share in the common
oppression of all other Protestant rights. The op-
pression began, and the Lutherans had the cruelest
share—perhaps because he (M. Kossuth) happened to
belong to the Church. The clergymen were persecuted,
and afterwards deprived of their livings as ministers.
One minister was sentenced to six years' imprisonment
in a fortress ; and, dreadful to relate, his daughter, a
highly accomplished lady, had been publicly flogged for
having dared to murmur at this severity ; and when the
poor man came home, and was entreated to resume his
pastoral functions, the Government interposed and pro-
hibited him. General Haynau appointed the adminis-
trators of Episcopal Dignity, who were nominated by
the Government, paid by the Government, responsible
only to the Government, and who were still kept in
office notwithstanding the remonstrances of the Protes-
tants. A heavy blow was thus struck at the self-govern-
ment of the Church ; the General Assemblies were
abolished, the lay inspectors deprived of their rights,
and a measure taken to have the Protestant Church
governed by ecclesiastical consistories appointed by the
Government. He concluded with his opinion as to the
probable results. He said if this system is allowed to
work for two generatioas, the least of the evils that must
follow is not that the present, but the next generation,
will be thrown back by a century standard of our coun-
try. Many a Hungarian parent will prefer not to have
his child instructed at all than to have his mind and soul
corrupted by bad instruction. Therefore, how dread-
ful to think that we should prove our safety in our
ignorance. Now, if the Concordat is thus allowed to
work, all I can say is that Hungary was always the bul-
wark of Christendom—always the bulwark of civilisation
against barbarism—the bulwark of tolerance against in-
tolerance—of freedom against spiritual and temporal
despotism, and of human national rights against ponti-
fical ambition. Thus Hungary will prove such an ad-
dition to the power—will form such a stepping-st'.°6 in
the onward course of pontifical ambition—as to give it
strength to overawe civilisation on the Continentht, and
smother with its sombre extinguisher, figh.t, trru) ,It
is
civil freedom, and religious liberty. . b
(C eefaste., of my'
thus the fate, though perhaps the gl8trembling
holds
country, that every particle of its soil
in its balance some great general interest of Europe.
The war just concluded, together with all its sufferings,
and all its disasters, should have taught the world that
the interests of Hungary, of freedom, and of civilisation
are intimately connected with the interest of European
freedom and civilisation. And yet, as if the consciences
of mankind were frozen, and the light of three centu•
ries were nothing more than the flickering flame
of the expiring lamp, and history— with all
its instructions were but a blank leaf dedi-
cated to oblivion, and the spirit of darkness
reason, freedom, civilisation, and liberty
arid Hungary is the battle-field again. She, always the
champion—sometimes the victim of Christian Europe—
she, the Goliath of freedom, must again bear the brunt
of the battle ; and again, ob, my nation, thou standest
forsaken and alone—(loud applause)—yes, stands aeone;
not there's a God in heaven, revealed to us not only in
the Scriptures, but in the moon, and in the stars, and in
the laws by which the drop is falling—in the germina-
tion of the flower seed, and in those eternal moral laws
of justice, which, history is my witness, can as little be
violated with impunity as those eternal, immutable,
physical laws of the world. Then, oh I my nation, yet,
though thou standest alone, will appeal to the God of
mercy and of justice. He will weigh the grievances in
the balance of his retribution. Sir, I have done ; and,
in bidding you a most hearty farewell, I beg from you
to be allowed to hope that, though I may not have come
up to your expectations, still you will allow me for one
moment to hold a small place, kind remembrance, side
by side with your generous sympathies for my unfortu-
oats, persecuted country. (Loud cheering.)
At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of thanks was
cordially awarded to M. Kossuth, and the assemblage
then broke up, with a loud cheer for M, Kossuth,

Mr. Blackwell, of Dudley, a gentleman engaged in
the iron trade, was next called. He said the Liverpool
town dues very much affected the price of the raw mate-
rial used in the manufacture 'of iron, as they imported
nearly 200,000 tons of ore a-year from Lancashire and
Cumberland, and all that paid 3d.. a ton town dues. The
export duty would come to about 5,0001., or 6d. a ton,
on the manufactured iron which he exported from Liver-
pool. He considered the trade of South Staff.irdshire
did stiffer, and would continue to suffer more, by the
dues having been transferred from the Crown to the Li-
verpool Corporation. Witness bad very extensive co!.
lieries ou the line of the Newport, Hereford, and Aber-
gavenny Railway. He paid a royalty of 2d. per ton on
the coal ; his colliery was about nine miles from New.
port, and from thence it was shipped to _Birkenhead ; a
large quantity of the coal was subsequently shipped
from Birkenhead to Newhaven, There was a very
gr. at export of coal from 1.•;-•ewpert to) foreign ports.
The dues at Newport were very light. He consi-
dered the teen duet of Liverpool were certainly de-
trimental to trade generally. It wax considered that
the Corporation of Liverpool had. no claim to levy
those dues. Witness- held in his hand a petition to
the House of Commons, signed by a very large num.
ber of persons engaged in trade at Duo ley and the
neighbourhood, praying the house to atviiah those
dues.

Mr. Pearson, a Liverpool merchant, was the rest wit-
ness. lie described the practice of the Liverpool mer-
chants as to exporting articles to foreign port's. Be
was not a freeman, and bad to pay town dues on all
articles he imported and exported. He paid local rates,
about fit. 10s., exclusive of poor rates, and town ,dues
from 301. to 40/. That was on his own account, but .he
paid a further amount on account of his corresponden ts,
ter whom he acted as forwarding agent. He considers
there was no equivalent given by the Corporation o
Liverpool for those dues. With regard to the dock
dues, he thought if the parties who paid them bad a
voice in electing the dock committee there would be
much greater facilities afforded to the shipping. Th e
chairman of the dock neutnittee was selected by the
whole of the members of the committee, one-half
of whom were members of the Corporation of
Liverpool. There was a tariff of town dues pub-
lished in " Gore's D:rectory," but there was no
regular tariff for the dock dues. The officers of
her IVl:jesty's Customs did assist in collecting the town
dues, for they would not pass a ship's entry till the dues
wore paid. Southport was situated near the mouth o f
the river Ribble, but it was considered to be within th •
port of Liverpool. There were no town dues levied at
Southport, chiefly for the reason that there was no tr ado
--it was merely a watering-place.
Mr. Lupton, Vice-President of the Chamber of Com.
merce of Leeds, was next examined. Ho said the mer-
chants of Leeds considered it excessively unjust tha t
they should pay town dues at Liverpool, for which the y
received no value whatever. They paid twopence a packs t
on all goods which they sent to Liverpool for exports.
tion, which amounted in the year to as much as 3,0001.
or 4,0001. They now sent a considerable portion of their
goods to be shipped at Fleetwood for Ireland. At Fleet-
wood there were no charges ; the voyage was shorter to
Belfast from Fleetwood than from Liverpool. He did
not know of any Leeds goods oeing shipped at Fleet-
wood for Dublin or Cork, as that would be a longer Rea
voyage ; but Belfast and Fleetwood were opposite to
each other. He should not object to the town dues if
they were expended in improving the river Mersey.
Mr. Charles Henry Jones, of Huddersfield, WAS the
next witness. He bad been requested by the Board of
Commissioners at Huddersfield, to come before this
committee to complain of the -town dues of Liverpool, as
being an increase on the oost of their manufactures. The
merchants of Huddersfield would not object to the town
dues if they were expended on the improvement of the
Mersey. Tee trade of Huddersfield was increasing not-
withstanding these dues ; but the greater their trade,
the more unjust they felt the imposition of the Liverpool
town dues.

By the Chairman—lt was not owing to the town dues
of Liverpool, but to the ingenuity and industry of the
people of Huddersfield, that their trade was increasing.
The committee then adjourned until Thursday.

NATIONAL DEBT,—The following is the amount of the
National Debt which did not pay income tax for the
year ending April, 1855. 28,714,8391. ; number of ac-
counts on which exemption was claimed, 78,795.
NAVAL AND MILITARY BIBLE SOCIETY.— This society
held its 76th annual meeting yesterday afternoon, at
Willis's Rooms, under the presidency of Admiral Ver-
non Harcourt, who filled the chair in the absence of the
Marquis of Cholmoudeley. In opening the proceedings
the chairman alluded to the increasing interest mani-
fested by the public in behalf of seamen, as displayed in
the multiplication of sailors' homes and other similar
institutions. The Naval and Military Bible Society, he
said, had been the instrument of distributing Bibles and
Testaments to all the regiments and ships during the late
war, and evidenee was not wanting that the blessing of
God had rested on its exertions. Peace had its trials and
1 temptations as well as war, and the efforts of Chr;atiane
to provide spiritual instruction for soldiers and sailors
should not be relaxed now that warfare had ceased. The
gallant admiral then stated that he pent to the late re-
view at Spithead in one of the Peninsular and Oriental
C3mpany's steamships to distribute tracts among sailors,

The report, which was read
by the secretary, stated,
that during the past year 27 of her Majesty's ships and
100 gun-boats had been supplied with Bibles and Testa-
ments,
crews, The British army had been supplied with 4,612
Bibles and Testaments ; in addition to which 10,490
pocket Testaments, granted by the British and Foreign
Bible Society, had been given to soldiers proceeding to
the seat of war, and to those at the camp at Aldershott.
Upwards of 3,000 Bibles and Testaments had also been
furnished to the Militia. A considerable number had
been sold at reduced prices to merchant seamen in Lon-
don, Liverpool, and other ports, to the inmates of naval
and military hospitals at home and abroad, of barrack-
rooms, &c. The total circulation for the year was
42,657. The receipts amounted to 2,5631., and the ex-
penditure to 2,5591. Admiral Harcourt having resigned
the chair to Captain F. Maude, various speakers suc-
cessively addressed the meeting and advocated the ob-
jects of the society.
[ADVESTISEMENT.]—A most interesting recovery from a vast
complication of diseases, such as indigestion (dyspepsia),
flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com.
plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility,
without the aid of medicine, by Du Barry's Reva.
lenta Arabica Food, is recorded in the following let-
ter :—Cure 52,422.—" Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April,
1854. I have suffered these 33 years continually
from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement,
deafness, singing iu the ears, constipation, debility, shortness
of bread), and cough, and during that period taken so much
medicine that I can safely say I have kid out upwards of a
thousand pounds at the chemists and doctors. Indeed I was
in utter despair, and never expected to get over it, when I
was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your Bova-
lenta Arabica, which, Heaven be praised, restored me to
a state of health which I long since despaired of attaining.
My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and cars are all right, my hear-
ing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaint.
