LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1851.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE,
BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY.—This town was the morning
Considerably excited, upon its being known that Mr. Cal-
lum, valuer and auctioneer of the Court of Bankruptcy,
had committed suicide at his house at Highgate. The
deceased was well known, not only in Birmingham, but
in the metropolis and the principal towns of England, as
extensively emeected with the sale of first-rate horses.
It appears that he went through his business yester-
day at the repository—formerly occupied by the late
Mr. Beards worth—in his accustomed spirits. From
thence he proceeded to the Warwick Arms, Bradford-
street, where, in company with sir. Barton, he partook
of tea. The waiters at that tavern state that he was
appari-roly unusually joyous. Between ten and eleven
o'clock he requested Mr. Barton to accompany him in
his gig to his house at Highgate, where they
arrived shortly before eleven o'clock. The de-
ceased and Mr. Barton bad not been in the back
sitting-room many minutes when Mrs. Callum
told her husband he was wanted in the front room.
He immediately proceeded to that apartment, and there
found Mr. Suckling, solicitor, and Mr. Glossop, the
head of the Birmingham detective police force. He
was told by Glossop that they held a warrant against
him for a charge of forgery uoon Sir George Chetwynd,
of Grendon Hall, Staffordshire. Mr. Callum seemed
prepared for the accuaati,n, saying, "I am ready, but
let me bee my wife first." Upon the bell being rung,
Mrs. Callum entered the room, when her husband met
her and embraced her, and whilst doing so drew a phial,
containing prussic acid, from his pocket, and swallowed
the contents. He fell instantly upon the fl 'or. The
consternation of the party present, and the distress of
Mrs. Callum may be conceived, but csn
qt. uo bs dbed.
Barren, who was in tho back room,t besting
the
skirl its of Mrs. Callum,
flurried into the drawing-room,
and there found Mr. Suckiing and Mr. Glossop attempt-
ing t raise the tnicly ut Mr. Callum, who was t vi-
(lenity expire,g wider the influence of poison. Mr.
tied, a surgeon, residing within a few doors ()I the un-
fortunate gentlemen, was called in, but he at 'lnc,- de-
clared that all hopes of saving him were vale; life was not
extinct, but the adoduistrstiou or antidotes did not pro-
duce the slightest beneficisl effect—ho died in a few
minutes. Triers steins to be nu doubt that, for some
mow he past the deee is( d had been lab-uring under
pecuniary diffiJuldea. The bill with the forgery of
which he stood charged wse off- red in Birmingham more
than once for di,cotsat during the early part of the week,
and a e.,rrespOndenca with Sir George Chetwynd led to
Mr. Calium's apprehen4ian. The bill upon which the
eharge was made was, we understand, to the amount of
700/.

An inqa.st was held at Ba'sail heath, near Birming-
hair, on turdiy, on the body, when the me hest testi-
mony went to show that the deplorable can .ition of his
affairs had so far wroughi upon the physical fiaule as to
produce temporary insanity, and the jury returned a
verdict accordingly.

LOUIS KOSSUTH.
When the future historian shall portray, for the in-
struction of other times, the character of those who have
influenced the events of these two or three last por-
tentous veers, he will assuredly single out one man
as the hero of an epoch, fertile in noble efforts of
nations, but barren of the great men who alone
could conduct such efforts to a prosperous issue. In
the great Hungarian patriot ho will gladly recog-
nise a kindred spirit with those bright names which
shine like stars in the page of history—men who had
genius to divine the spirit of their time, and could ani-
mate a whole peop:o with one will, by inspiring faith in
themselves. Throughout Europe the reign of des-
potism has apparently been resumed ; yet it is certain
that in avery country the great majority of the people
ardently look for the advent of liberty under safe-
guards of order. If we inquire for the cause of
this universal failure of the struggle for liberty,
we shall fiud it in the fact that nothi a-
p roaching to unity of action was accomplished among the ardent devotees of freedom. They knew not what
they desired, nor the way to obtain it ; and they had no
superior intellect to instruct, to combine, and to guide
them. Narrow aims, crude theories, and wayward de-
sgns en gendered general distrust ; and the destiny
aiwaited them that will ever await a house divided against
itself.
If the cause of Erungarian liberty was involved in the
same fate, its calamity was induced by very different
agencies. Throughout every class of the Hungarian
people, the same high enthusiasm prevailed; and all
devoted themselves willingly to a common plan of
action. The revolution gathered round Louis
Kossuth as round its natural centre. He was in
truth its animating soul; fur the whole people had faith
in him, and none doubted they were advancing to a
righteous issue when they saw that all were willing to
obey such a leader. Hengary fell in her nubie strife
—not because she was divided by intestine disaensions
but beciuse she war so united as to awaken
the liveliest fear in Russia. For a time —it
is to Le hoped only fur a time—the spark of
liberty ha 4 been trodden out by the Cosaack heel, and
the most glorious of her people has been made en out-
cast from his own, and a captive in a strange land. But
it may well bring eons Batton to the mournful heart of
iloto;issiiith that every geuerou, mind in Europe feels a part
grief, and longs for an OCCA6IOII of offering him
some warmer token of its sympathy.
It is said that the age of chivalry is gone, and that
with its decay has also departed that spirit of loyalty
which leads ua to pay homage to the high and noble. But
as lung as the race of man retains its faculty of admira-
tion true greatness will not want its meed of fame;
nor will that reward be denied to those who make
a ventionahigh station, granted by factitious and con-
usage, the means of fulfilling great
duties, and of displaying a meritorious example
of devotedness to the public welfare, even though
they may not be gifted with the high qualities which coin-
maud ediniratiun by their inzrinsie dignity. The respect-
pfarol vaetsta, atch real:, of the English people to their Sovereign

named gentleman that the engine on Crampton's system
travelled the whole distance over the road, reaching
8 ingzinsum speed of 75 miles an hour with perfect
steadiness; that the increase of speed did not produce
oscillation, and that the other engine, when running at
61 miles an hour between Reigate and London, had so
much m,tion that, in their opinion, the patent engine
was greatly superior in point of steadiness.
The power of taking heavy loads has been most
satisfactorily tested with the ordinary trains, 27 loaded
carriages having been taken up on the New-cross
incline of one in a hundred.
In the experiment made some time since with the
patent engine in the presence of Messrs. Stephenson,
M•Gregor, Barlow, and several other gentlemen, with
a train of three carriages, 45 miles were stated to have
been run in 43 minutes, and 25 miles of the same were
agecepplished in 21 minutes. This result has bees
doubted by borne persons, as it was supposed that suffi-
cient care had not been taken in noting the time. Since,
however, the experiment of last Saturday was made
with the greate3t possible care, there can be no question
but that the former speeds were attained.

_KING BURGLARY AT TWINSTED.
About one o'clut k A M. on Tuesday last, the ►wetting-
house of Mr. Cook, sen., a farmer in the above pariah,
was burglariously entered by three men. An attempt
of the like character having been made on the same
premises about a month ago, the police have vigi-
lantly guarded them, and on Tuesday night were on
the watch when the parties appeared. Having tried at
several places ineffectually, with a long iron chisel, to
gala an entrance they at last succeeded in removing an
iron bar from a back kitchen window, and entered there.
One of them proceeded to the front parlour, followed
closely by a second, who, on being stopped by police-
constable 115, inflicted a teriffie blow on the officer's
head with the chi.el. The robber in the parlour was
then attacked by a ►abouring man in the employ of Mr.
Cook, arid for some minutes, the parties were engaged
in a most desperate encounter, blood flying in all
diryetems. The constable succeeded in getting his
man down in the passage and handcuffing one of his
wrists, wnilst the labour, r called loudly for his master.
Mr. Cook, hearing his cries, hastened to their assis,tince
with his loaded gun, and when in the act of crossing
the oassage, the rubber atized the gun, and in the
scuffle discharged the c intents, which unhappily en-
tered one of the arms of the labourer. The gun was
then wrenched from Mr. Cook, who received a blow
from it, and the policeman now had to contend with
both tte nurglars, wi:h whom he fought single handed in
a most gallant manoer, though sorely belshaired by
them with the gun and his own staff. The report of the
gun brought to their aid police-constables 33 and 45.
on discovering whom the two burglars retreated with
a third, who was watching outside the premises. In-
formation was immediately forwarded to the police
station at Sudbury, and medical aid was procured, when
it was found necessary to amputate the wounded man's
arm. We rejoice to add that later information en-
ables us to announce the apprehension of three Rua-
peoted parties by Cross, a constable, at Sudbury. Their
names are Stephen Pc►ke, William Poole, and James
Dawson, a:1 of whom, we believe, will be identified by
the police. Poole's head was so ranch cut that he could
not be renvived, and the handcuffs were still us Daw-
son, so that little doubt remains that the activity mani-
fested for the detection of the guilty parties has had a
successful issue. Superintendent Hoy, on inspecting
Mr. Cook's premises, found that part of the d welling in
which the encounter took place in a state resembling a
slaughterhouse, from the de-perate nature of the attack
and defence.—Chelmsford Chronicle.

mities of royalty? He used his high place for him-
self and not for his people ; and as he had no title
to power but that which a faithful observance of his
compsct with his people gave him, the voice of justice
sanctioned his dethronement. But had Louis Philippe
added to able statesmanship a lofty patriotism,—had ho
under the outward form of a respectable private life che-
rished the generous and disinterested virtues,—had he in-
gratiated himself in general esteem, not by art, but by
artless magnanimity,—had be spoken to the heart of
his people the winged words of eloquence warmed by
religion, and practised in their eyes the duties of loyalty,
sincerity, and di-interestedness,—had he, in short, pos-
sessed the highest gifts of genius purified by virtue and
wisdom, and had lost his throne in an endeavour to lead
the nation to liberty—whet a halo of glory would have
rested around his memory! He would still have retained
his throne in the hearts of his people, and all men would
have mourned for his fall. If nations hold by inherent
right the privilege of choosing their own rulers, we
should esteem those men monarchs who by greatness
of mind deserve and win the suffrages of their compa-
triots. Now such a men as Louis Philippe might
hare been, Louis Kossuth was and is ; and we look
upon him as upon the only true loyalty that ha.
suffered eclipse in these days of confused change. There
is an inexpressible tenderness and dignity in the melan-
choly eloquence with which he asks Europe, and espe-
cially England, to restore him—if not to Hungary, yet
to the freedom of the broad world. The stoic firmness
is not hit that welcomes the cruelty which tries his nature,
He complains, but his complaints are as far from weak-
ness as they are allied to a gentle humanity. It is surely
a disgrace to Europe that this great man, so honoured by
the noble and the good in every country, should be denied
the common blessing of liberty and companionship with his
knd . His cuntieued captivity. now that policy no longer
requires it, is a gratuitous insult to the common opinion of
civilised nations; and we see with pleasure that in
various ptrts of England meetings are being held, in
the hope of making test common opinion more dis-
tinctly known. Just at this moment England is the
is point of Europe to which all eyes are turned. She
recoen zed as the leader of civilization—Which
word, hi i;3 true acceptation, is synonymous with the
reign of
ng f justice, humanity, and peace. A voice
issuirom meetings of her people will not be dis-
regarded &broad; and even the Sovereigns of the new
Holy Alliance will tel its potency. That D-rby 1. nor,
so f sward as some other towns in giving expressions to
feelings
wof condemnation of K sasuth's imprisonment is,
we kno, proof that it doe: not possess them; arid
perhaps tie appeal from his countrywoman may help
in determining our townsmen to join in the general de-
sire for Kossuth's release.—Derby Reporter,

establishment for the manufacture of a peculiar descrip-
tion of cannon bails for ttle navy of a very dangerous
nature, called boulets asphyzians. Pere was employed
in the making of these balls, and Binet was also em-
ployed
in Ole port. In November and December last
they g,,t lean) of absence, and went, with Ruello, who is
a baker, to London. Ruello supplied the funds. It was
immediately rumoured, from some observations they
had made, that they had gone to England to sell the
tic cret of making these balls to the English Government,
and it was at ertained that Binet and Ruello had had fre-
quent communications with the Englsh Consul at Lorient.
These two men had also caused an application to be
made to a 'Nary named Le Bobinec for an advance of
4,000 f., and promised to pay him 25,000 r. for it. They
then said thtt they were going to England to sell a
secret for making balls which would bring them several
millions. Fire was also heard to make a similar state-
ment to Binees wife. On arriving in London they, etc-
et'mPanied by an interpreter, went to the Board of Ad-
miralty. Thtir proposition was favourably received, and
they were sentdown to Portsmouth that experiments might
be made with their secret. The experiments lasted 15
days, and took place on board the Excellent, Captain
Chads. The Captain's report to the Admiralty was not
sufficiently favourable to induce it to purchase the secret;
nevertheless, to indemity of 1,200 f. (481.) was awarded
to the men. They had demai,ded 4 000 f. They then
attempted to sell the secret to the Ambassador of Russia
and to the American Consul, but both declined to accept
it. The three men passed some time at London, and
when their money was exhausted they fell into misery.
In August last Pa re returned to France and enlisted
into a regiment at St. Omer, but he was recognised and
arrested. Binet and Ruello arrived at Boulogne in No-
vember, and were arrested. The accused, on being inter-
rogated by the Court, denied that they had been to Eng
land to sell the secret; but, in addition to the above facts,
it appeared that reports of the police who had watched
them in L mdon, and their own correspondence with their
fanatlies, stated the contrary. It was also shown that Com,
Pefre knew part of the secret from being employed in
making the boilers, and that he had got the rest of if by examining the papers of Colonel Tinouvenin, the di- Allan,
rector of the manufactory. The jury, however, after
Barnsl
hearing the evidence and pleadings, returned verdict 'Sank
of " Not guilty" in favour of all the accused. sterna;
