Mr. Seymour insists at length throughout his
clever brochure,:that a companyilacorporated by Royal
charter is the only means by w hitch it is possible to
insure the simultaneous develo.pcsent of agriculture,
in its most improved systems, manufactures, and also of
such other industrial resources Lls might happen to
*Flex themselves (such as mines and fisheries) upon any
ite selected for improvement. On this part of his
subject he thus concludes his argument :
" A land company, possessing a large tract of country,
establishing the best systems of agriculture, working
its mines and fisheries—if such there were—intro-
ducing new and important manufactures—its whole
economy administered by men of skill, rectitude, and
perseverance—promoting habits of industry most
effectually by insuringlpermanence of employment—
opening fresh markets in consequence of the large
operations which it alone, porisessing an ample ca-
pital, could effect ; encumbered by no poor-rates be-
cause employing the poor, too powerful for the
attempts of petty prejudices, too self•reliant to be
deterred from its path by intimidation,' uninfluenced
itself by sectarianism in politics or religion, and
offering no impersonation of hostility, but approv-
ing itself to the good feelings o f all by its practical
patriotism, possessing the adva ntoge of united coun-
sels and associated energies, attracting to itself the
hopes of all good men, and the confidence of the
community, able in its collective capacity to approach
the Government with such claimas to a favourable at-
tention as no private individual could advance; con-
temporaneously developing all the resources, agricul-
tural, geological, and manufacturing, of its pos-
sessions—l spy that such a company can alone
undertake with just hopes of success a project, at once
so formidable in its difficulties, I so profitable as a mode
of investment, and so full of i mmediate blessing and
of future hopes."

THE HAPSBURG'S KINGS OF
HUNGARY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.

Sir,—The events which occurred in 1848.9 be-
tween the Carpathian Mountains and the Adriatic
Sea, an the plains of Panonia, in the land of the
Magyars, have no parallel in modern times. All the
glory and power the Magyar nation surrounded
themselves with during the reigns of the kings
descending from Arpad's dynasty, were quickly lost
under the regime of the Hapsburgs. The advent of
that race brought misery, decline, and dissension into
Hungary ; from that moment the Almighty appears
to have set his seal upon the nation.
The grandsons of Arpad were, for the many ser-
vices they rendered, and the sacrifices made for the
upholding of the Hapsburgs, mercilessly treated_
deprived of their rights and franchises, and their
necks bent under the weight of the Austrian yoke.
Russo-Austrian absolution begins to extend its domi-
nation over the whole of Europe. Poland and Hun-
gary, whose sacred constitutions for so many centu-
ries resisted all the storms of time, have been subju-
gated. They are groaning under the horrible tortures
of the most sanguinary despotism ; and European
diplomacy. labouring under the selfish and fatal
laissez-faire system, assisted with disgraceful indiffe-
rence the unequal struggle both of Hungary—that of
the latter being but the continuation of those wars for
freedom the Magyars waged for centuries against the
absolutism of the Hapsburgs under the banners of
Bethlen, Bolskay, Tokoly, Rik6izy, and others.
Hungary succumbed, and the Magyars fled for re-
fuge on Albion's free soil—the only country in
Europe whose present political state and glorious
past inspires every Magyar with confidence and hope
for a better future. A great majority of the English
nation has already shown its unequivocal sympathy
for Hungary's good cause and right—a proof that
they were well acquainted with that cause; but of
what the English public in general is still ignorant,
to complete their knowledge of the Hungarian na-
tion, is an impartial history of those crimes, perjuries,
and foul intrigues, of which the thirteen kings of the
house of Hapsburg rendered themselves guilty dur-
ing their rule in Hungary for more than three cen-
turies—crimes perpetrated for the purpose of under-
mining the free constitution of the Magyars. A
condensed history of the Hapsburg dynasty, and of
the contest between constitutional liberty and abso-
lutism—between the people and the monarchs, is
what is wanting. Such a history in one volume is
quite ready for print. Besides the history of the
Hapsburgs it gives the most striking scenes

gary's ancient and modern history. Its title s

It contains—The origin of Hungary ; explains
how the Hapsburgs succeeded in seizing upon the
crown of Hungary; by what means they had rendered
it hereditary in their dynasty ; narrates the sanguinary
political and religious events which, during the period
of their regime in Hungar, were directed towards
the destruction of her Constitution ; it documentarily
shows how the Hapsburg dynasty for centuries bad
Y
prepared their plans to bring about the last melan-
choly days of the Magyars; relates the exertions and
deeds of Kossuth in the Hungarian cause, &c. ; it
throws a light upon the present dangerous state of
Europe, and the Russo-despotism tendency; it pub-
lishes the principal diplomatic docu;nents issued by
Russia, Austria, Turkey, and
England, both in the
question on Hungary, together with the remedy and
reflexions these documents suggest.

SIR J. FRANKLIN.
The following letter has been addressed to the
editor of a morning contemporary :
SSir,--I have lately been M Peterhead--
(my native
place), and have learnt a very important fact, which
I am sure you will think of sufficient interest to make
known to the public, from my old acquaintance, Capt.
Martin, who, when commanding the whaler Enter-
prise in 1845, was the last person to communicate
with Sir John Franklin.
The Enterprise was alongside the Erebus in Mel-
ville Bay, and Sir John invited Captain Martin to
dine with him, which the latter declined doing as the
wind was fair to go south. Sir John while conversing
with Captain Martin, told him that he had five years'
provisions, which he could make last seven, and his
people were busily engaged in salting down birds, of
which they had several casks full already, and twelve
Men were out shooting .more.

To see such determination and foresight at that
early period is really wonderful, and must give us the
greatest hopes.
I asked Captain Martin why he had not mentioned
this before ? He said that he did not at first think it
of any importance, and that when Lady Franklin
was at Peterhead about two years ago he did not like
to intrude upon her Ladyship, not having the honour
of knowing her, during her short stay. He is a man
of the strictest integrity, whose word I can depend
upon. He has an independent fortune, which he got
by the fishing.
As you have done me the favour to publish a for-
mer communication I hope you will give this a place
in your columns, as I am sure it will give general
satisfaction.—Your most obedient servant,
Aberdeen, Dec. 20. Was. PENNY.

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—It is stated in
the report of the Commissioners of Wocds and Forests, just
published, that the Commissioners have sold a piece of
ground from Charlotte-street to Long-acre as a site for baths
and washhouses for St. Giles's and St. George's parishes
The parishes have paid 2,6501. for the site. A sum of
30,0001. has been appropriated by the Commissioners to-
wards the expense of forming and completing a line of
street between Southwark and Westminster-bridge. The
Commissioners have lent 30,0001. to the Westminster Im-
provement Commissioners, to enable them to complete and
open the new street from Westminster Abbey to Pimlico.
The property purchased by the Commissioners of Woods to
enable them to open a new street from the London Docks to
Spitalfields Church amounted to 108,2141., hich has been
raised by a duty of Id. per ton on coals imported into the
city of London.
Mr. J. Wilson Croker, the " Atlas" of the Quar
ter/y Review, is seriously indisposed at present.
