VAUXHALL-BRIDGE COMPANY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Thursday, at th© George and Vulture Hotel, George-
yard, Lombard-street; Mr. Parnell in the chair. The
report stated that there had been an increase in respect
of tolls during the six mouths ending October, 1851, as
compared with the corresponding period of the previous
year, amounting to 2,1931. 12s. sd. This was in some
measure to bo attributed to the increase of cabs and
parties going to the Great Exhibition. The receipts
from the pier also had increased, and left a profit, after
paying all expenses, of 2571, Ten years having elapsed
since the bridge had been painted, the directors had
lately, caused it to be done, and the cost amounted to
2641. The receipts for the half-year amounted to 9,591 L
4s. 2d., and the expenses to 4,2611. Ga. 7d. Upon the
motion
'm
that the report be received and adopted, a pro-
prietor inquired what was the amount of the surplus
after payment of the dividend? The chairman replied
that the surplus would be 175/. He (Mr. Parnell) had
very little to say respecting the report, but he was glad
to have it in his power to congratulate the shareholders
upon the prosperous condition of their property. Al-
though they might, in a great measure, attribute the in-
crease of tolls to the transit of passengers to and from
the Exhibition in Hyde-park, he was still very much
inclined to think that there had been a permanent im-
provement in their finances, owing to the rapid exten-
sion of buildings on the Surrey side of the water, and to
the attractions which presented themselves in the neigh-
bourhood of Buckingham Palace. In answer to a ques.
tion relative to the security of the bridge, the chairman
replied that it was in the same substantial condition
that it ever was, and this he attributed to the skill of
their engineer, Mr. Walker, who, being aware of the
defects in many of the other bridges, had taken care that
the cassoons should be carried down to the blue clay, so
that the abutments might rest upon the securest founda-
tion. The report was then adopted, and a dividend
declared of ISs. per share, payable on and after the Ist
of December next. A new treasurer having been ap-
pointed in lieu of Mr. W. Williams, deceased, thanks
were voted to the chairman, and the business terminated.

llomiciDE ur A. PERSIONER.—On Monday after-
noon last, at Manchester, John Morgan, an old soldier, went
to draw his pension. Determined to enjoy himself in his own
way while he had the means, he afterwards indulged in
rather more spirituous lipior than was good for him. His
sister, who was with him, was endeavouring to dissuade him
from entering a public-house in Deansgate, Manchester, and
expostulated with him in no very gentle terms, when Frede-
rick Chinn, a walnut-seller, who was standing near, was so
imprudent as to tell the woman to " take her soldier home
and get his money from him." Morgan's martial propensi-
ties were at once aroused, and, disengaging himself from his
sister, he capsized Chinn's basket, scattering the nuts in hroad. In the battle which ensued between them Chmenmen.

ANTI QUITY of the ti UN GARIAN
CONS FITUTION.
Pey a man by the line for what he sees, and he will
behold strange sights, end beheld them through his
own bodily eyes, or through speetecles of any
either to magnify or mystify. What he says shall be
power,
wonderful; but what he leaves unsaid shall be
monstrous. Like men afflicted with nyctalopia (night-
blindness), he shall discern a speck at midnight ; but
the sun at noon he shall he blind to. In this way,
the Times correspondents looked upon the great
spectacle of Hungarian heroism. No success of
Austria was too beggarly to be proclaimed aloud ; no
victory of the Hungarians palpable enough to be re-
cognised.
As hirelings see present, so do they raad past,
events ; except that in this they may have a prin-
ciple. If history be the Great Liar that some have
called it, they may blunder upon a truth by the
simple prozess of contradiction ; so that, as two
negatives make an affirmative, a pair of fictions
may make a fact. If the Times chooses to calum-
niate a great living patriot, it is a mere matter of
baseness ; hut to distort history is to add insult to in-
jure. It supposes its readers to be fools, as well as a
hero to be an impostor. That the true Magyar his-
tory should be known in its whole length and breadth,
in its shame as well as its glory, its aggressions as
well as its sufferings, is good for the sake of truth,
of justice, of rational liberty, of the right direction
of moral sympathy. But, unfortunately, it is a his-
tory so little studied in detail that unscrupulous
advocates can presume upon its obscurity to distort
its character, and to disguise its undeniable relation-
ship to those great free constitutions which we of
England love and trust because they are our own, and
which in

" -- Our great prerogative
To teach the nations of the world to live,"
we would fain see extended to all that deserved them,
and deserved by all.
" It is " a favourite figure of speech," writes the
Times, with the Magyar party to talk of their
constitution of eight hundred yearn' standing, and of
their country as the bulwark of Christendom. They
would have us forget that for about two hundred and
fifty years, from the middle of the fifteenth to the
end of the seventeenth century, Hungary did not be-
long to Christendom at all. Her finest provinces
had been conquered by the Turks—Buda was a
Pashalik. In the Turkish wars of that period, and
even as ltae as 1683,.Hungarian soldiers were serving
with Turks against the empire—her patriots, Zapolya
and Rakoczy, were vassals of the Grand Seignior;
and from this state of Mussulman bondage she was
rescued by :Austrian and German armies under
Prince Eugene, about one hundred and fifer years
ago. It was an obvious absurdity to talk of a Consti-
tutional Monarchy of eight huudred years' standing,
when the country was practicllly governed, for the
greater hstodreiPc°tfiennic.y"

(A.D. 1526), what do we find to be its immediate
effects ? That Hungary became a psshalik, and that
Times

of Mohacz
it was governed by a Turk from Olen ? This is about
as true as that Spain is governed by the Lord Mayor
of Gibraltar. The Sultan places the crownon the
head of a native Hungarian, Zapolya. He talks, it is
true, about tribute, and insists on it, and has his
own consent to call his Magyar naming the Ban
of Transylvania ; but the nomine himself choose*
his own title. It is that of king, a king whose em-
bassy to his suzerain (for that we must allow Soli-
man to be) is to be annual, with presents pro forma,
to accompany it. This is the measure of the Turk
supremacy; and it applies to a part of Hungary only.
But Austria has a claim. It has, though not the
claim of a deliverer. No knight of chivalry rescuing
a distressed damsel is King Ferdinand. He is simply
the heir of King Louis, who died at the time in ques-
tion, and, by a series of antecedents in the way of
marriages and acts of settlement, inherits the
crowns of Bohemia and Hungary just as a man
might inherit an estate. This, then, is the Crown
that is annihilated. Alai ! it is only too much of a
reality. Like the Throne of England during the
wars of the roses, it is such a sad reality that claimant
upon claimant struggles for it : and they so struggle
because the elective principle is a sad reality also.
Never did a non-entity more wear the garb of a
melancholy fact than when the supporters of a third
candidate (Pereny) met and canvassed, and held a
Congress at Vesprim, and set up a new and native
sovereign, and all without asking leave of the Turk ;
though that Turk was Soliman, and all without asking
leave of Austria, though that Austria was supported
by Charles V.

" What seems his head,
The likeness of a kingly crown has on."
Aye ! and so naturally does he wear it that Zapolys
and Ferdinand u,bate their mutual enmity, and join
in pulling him down.

And now comes the close of Zapolya's life. Never
did vassal act more like a free potentate. He enters
into a treaty with Ferdinand. His daughter, after
his death—for he contemplates marriage—is to wed
either Ferdinand or his son ; his son (if a male be
born) is to retire into private life, and the two shares
of the Hungarian crown are to be united in Ferdi-
, nand. Surely this is doing with one's own ; or, if
the Sultan was sovereign, he was a king with a vice-
roy over him.
But is there nothing about the Turk ? There is.
In case of his taking offence, Ferdinand must help
Zapolya with an army. Such is the condition of the
Magyar. But Ferdinand looks to Turkey as well.
There is a secret treaty going on in the meanwhile.
For an annual tribute of dogs, hawks, and clocks,
paid by the Austrian, Soliman is to leave Ferdinand
in quiet possession. Which is the vassal ? We know
which is the perjurer and the traitor.
What follows after Zapolya's death is a sample of
the Turk influence throughout. The untouched
municipalities, the independent aristocracy, enact the
fatal game of elective monarchy, and the Turk is
called in. There is no denying that, like the man
who helped the horse against his enemy the stag, his
support was a curse and a disaster; but there is, also,
no denying that, with the exception of certain for-
tresses and Ofen, the dominion of Hungary, though
divided, was always held by native Hungarians,
and the rest of the Constitution was equally unim-
paired. The Banat was a Beylik ; but the Banat
was, in respect to the proportions of the Magyar
population, the least Hungarian part of Hungary--
except, perhaps, Transylvania. Yet so Hungarian, in
constitution, was Transylvania, that the very nego-
tiations for the union of the two crowns, which the
faithlessness of Ferdinand nullified, were repeated by
Isabella, and all without leave of the Turk; but not
without leave of the Transylvanians.
But Hungary was lost to Christendom.
Aye ! even, as in the eyes of Rome, England was
lost at the Reformation. Look to,
thet h
mid-winter conditionseiinte

the coronation of Mathias in 08
the discontent of Hungary, the vanishing point of her
liberties—that the old laws should remain in force;
that a bill of rights, consisting of twenty-three ar-
ticles, should be sworn to; that in this Bill, special
clauses should limit the kingly power, curb the influ-
ence of the Jesuits, and insure liberty of conscience to
the numerous and rapidly increasing Protestants.

GERMANY.
Pomeranian Provincial Diet was closed on tha
st. In its 14th sitting the following questions
laid before that assembly :
If the Provincial Diet was an institution in
:nony with the Constitution of 1850, and existed
eight ? 2d. Should his Majesty the King be peti-
-1 to remain firm to his promise of sth June,

1823, to protect the Provincial-Diet, and avail him-
' self of their counsels ? 3d. Sbould his Majesty be
petitioned to submit to the consideration of the Pro-
vincial Diets all the laws which without their con•
curnnee have been passed since they last met ?
The first of these questions was answered unani-
mously in the affirmative ; the second was affirmed
by a majority of 45 against 1; and the third was
negatived by 28 votes against 18.
The special Austrian Envoy, M. Hock, has re-
turned to Frankfort. He visited Munich and Stutt-
givdr, during his absence.
The Prussian Chambers were summoned to meet on
the 27th inst. The Members of the Opposition have
published the following statement of grievances :
" Notwithstanding the 19th Article of the Constitu-
tion guarantees the right of forming religious congrega-
tions and ahsembling for general public worship and
religious exercise, the practical use of these rights, as
well as obtaining the means of doing so, are subjected
• to the discretion of the police and its orders, aid make
every one liable to repeated legal prosecutions, As it
arab once with respect to the old Lutherans, so it is now
wit) the free congregations. The law relating to civil
marriage, promised in the 10th Article of the Constitn-
tiou, has never been enacted. Equal civil rights are not
secured to those religionists that are beyond the sym-
pathies or above the individual opinions and tendencies
of the present official hierarchy. In most of the pro-
•,:nces the Evangical Church asks in vain for an orga-
-ration and constitution that shall secure it the inde-
,,,ndent management of its own affairs.
The law of the 30th of December, 1542, enacts that
. independent Prussian subject shall be refused per-
.sion to reside, or shall have the obtaining such per-
. sion made difficult by burdensome conditions, wher-
Qr he is able to support himself or maintain his own
,sehold. The Constitution guarantees to every Prus-
in subject the right of freely expressing his opinions;
to these fundamental rights, though both existed
,re the Constitution, the police authorities make any
teeptions they choose, and they do so especially with
-card to inconvenient writers of the Opposition party,
la.iugh they may be men of the most honourable private
character and perfectly blameless life. Sufficient for the
-"rhorities is their interpretation of the Pass Edict of
.817 and older regulations, which were only intended to
• protect the public against criminals, vagabonds, and
disreputable characters.
" The political press is liable to the oppression of po-
lice confiscations and regulations, to which belong in the
foremost rank the forfeiture of the trading license of

- - „
the printer or publisher, or the withdrawal of the trans-
mission through the post, at the will of the adminis-
trative power. And all this occurs, though the whole
tendency of the law that has exhausted all the penalties
against offences of the press is to regard the co-opera-
tive police authorities only as organs subordinate to the
courts of law, though the courts alone have the right of
deciding as to the forfeiture of trading licenses, though
the power of withdrawing the transmission by post was
thrown out of the Government draft of the law by the
Chambers.
" The right of association guaranteed by the 30th
Article of the Constitution has long been overborne by
the dislike and suspicion of the administrative power,
and made impossible by numerous limiting measures and
regulations."
POLAND.

A letter from the frontiers of Poland states —" In
the night from the 29th to the 30th of October that
terrible visitation the Branka (conscription) passed
over the whole kingdom. It sweeps into the ranks
of the Russian army the strength of the youth of Po-
land. Last year the conscription was not made till
Ali •Sours- day; this year it is put in force a day or
two earlier, that any attempt to evade it might be an-
ticipated. Generally, however, such attempts are be-
comiog rarer. Desertions are not so numerous as for-
wrly, as the conscripts know they can find little
refuge in the neighbouring frontier districts ; and in
the interior it is still more impossible."

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Nov. 7.)

gUGAIL—To-day, rather lower rates being taken for
W,st India Sugar, occasioned a fair business to be con-
cluded for home consumption, and the purchases
amounted to 578 hhds. The transactions for the week
are 2,193, the decline in prices has been 6d and in some
eves is per cwt during that time.
REFINED.--TO-day transactions were limited in Re-
fined goods for home consumption, brown lumps are
off-ring at 433 6d to 44 and Tittlers at 445. In the
value of Crushed Sugar there is no alteration.
MetTurrius.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritiue Sugar; and privately scarcely any busi-
ness was concluded, although there were sellers at rather
lower rates.

FOREIGN.-To-day, the only transactions worth re-
? ,r Ling in Foreign Sugar privately, in a cargo of 600
osta yellow Havannag, the particulars of which were
t allowed to transpire. At auction 164 hhds and 12
rels Porto Rico, duty paid, were mostly taken in at
Jerate rates, mid to good yellow at 335 6cl to 365 6d;
4 32s to 33:, and fine brown 31s to 315 61 per cwt.
EAST INDIA..—This afternoon the market was again

,acgely supplied with Bengal Sugar; white Benares
sustained the previous value, but a reduction of to
lo per owl took place for all other sorts. At auction
6,300 bags were chiefly disposed of, fine white Benares
went 393 to 40s; good 37e 6d to 38s 6d; low to mid
35a 6d to 373; mid to fine grainy 36s to 403;
erd 34s to 355; low to good date yellow 25s 6d to 30s;
so:r brown 23s 6d to 255; low to mid like Mauritius 29s
t) 325. Of Madras 4,998 b igs went at 63 to la decline.
Fine yellow selling at 40s to 425; mid to good 35s 6d to
395; and ord to good soft yellow 26s to 31s per cwt.
CorrEE.—This afternoon there was a reluctance to
operate in Native Ceylon Coffee, although rather lower
lower rates were taken; of 1,022 bags at auction a part
only sold at 39s to 39s 6d for real good ord, and damaged
373 to 395, and 20 casks at 41s to 42s for fine ord
sound. The market for Plantation Ceylon is inactive,
and previous terms are barely supported; of 305
casks 480 bags at auction not above half sold, fine went
at 583 to 58s 6d. good mid and good 53s to 57s 6d, low
mid to mid 48s 6d to 525, good to fine fine ord 42s to

43s to 48s, good ord 38s to 40s. Of Mangalore 192
bags were withdrawn.
Cocos.—Operations in West India have again been
small, although the rates taken are rather under those
of last week, and much below this time in the
former year. Of 150 bags Trinidad at auction
a small portion only sold, low to mid red went at
383 to 41s, good to fine 42a to 465, grey from 35s to
383, and Demerara 32s to 365. Grenada is offering
privately at 32s to 379, and few transactions have taken
place. Foroign is not cheaper, but purchases are small;
Guyaqail at 31s to 323, Bahia and Para 26s to 28s; at
auction 150 bags were taken in at the latter rate.
MoLassns.—To-day, at public sale, 72 casks West
India Molasses were taken in at Ils ad per cwt.
Tise.—Congou is not offered under the currency of
last week, still operations have been upon a limited scale,
and supply remains plentiful. There aro sellers of ord
quality at 8d to Sid, good ord 9d, medium kinds 9id to
10d; blackish leaf 100 to I lid, fine and Pekoe sorts
Is to is 6d, and new crop is 6d to is 9d.
In Oolong transactions have been to a fair extent,
bat purchases are easily made at previous terms of lld
to Is ad, and fine Is 4d to is 6d. There is rather more
doing in Soucheng, easier terms having been accepted;
sales of low and ord have been made at Bid to 10d, mid
to good lld to Is 4d, and fine is 54 to 2s. Scented and
Pekoe Teas continue to attract little notice although offered
_a
o ;l_ow terms; Orange Pekoe can be obtained at from 9 1
1 4d, fine la 5d to is 9d; flowery, common to mid
11 to Is 4d, good is 6d to Is 10d, fine 2s to 2s 10d, and
Scanted Caper 10(1 to is 4d. In prices of Green little
eaceteati,, n has taken place during the week, no decrease
