TATTERS.ALLS'-(THIS EVENING).

THE ANCIENT CONSTITUTION OF HUNGARY.

The following brief sketch of the National Char-
ter, which was based on the feudal system, may,
perhaps, be acceptable to our readers :
The principal prerogatives of the Crown were—
the right to confer dignities, distinctions, and pri-
vileges, to dispose of the military power of the
country, and to manage its foreign affairs. The
King also, either directly or indirectly, appointed
all civil functionaries, with the sole exception of
the Palatine and the two keepers of the Crown
(Kronhuter), who were chosen by the estates out
of a certain number of persons proposed by the
Sovereign. Further, the King had the right in the
time of war to summon all the nobles to take up
arms (zur insurrection aufzqfordern) to succeed to
hereditary property in default of heirs (male or
female), and to give it to Hungarians who had de-
served well of their country, and to pardon any of
his subjects who might offend against the laws.
The Crown nominated the archbishops, bishops,
and almost all the other ecclesiastical dignitaries.
The Diet consisted of representatives of the four
estates of the kingdom (Reichsstande), who were
the Roman Catholic and non-united Greek prelates,
the magnates (Counts and Barons), the gentry or
cavaliers, and the Royal free cities. The Diet had
two Chambers, which were called the "Tafel"
(board) of Magnates, and the " Tafel" of the Estates.
The Palatine was the president of the Upper Cham-
ber, and a public functionary, who bore the strange
title of "Personal," presided in the Lower House.
The King was bound to be crowned in six months
from the time of his accession to the throne, and to
convoke the Diet once in every three years. The
office of Palatine was not to be allowed to remain
vacant more than a year. The Diet was convoked by
means of so-called Royal " comital" letters, which
were addressed to the general assemblies of the
several counties, of which in the time of King
Stephen there were 72. At the opening of the
Diet the Royal propositions were read, and then
examined by special committees. When the Royal
propositions were disposed of, and not before, the
Estates were at liberty to bring forward their griev-
ances, and to ask for redress. The votes were taken
as they are in England. When a bill had passed
both houses it required the Royal sanction before it
could become a " Reichsgestz' (a law of the land).
The sittings were public. The Diet usually sat
two months. The matters within the competence of
the Diet were, affairs of legislation, including the
imposition of taxes and the levy of recruits for the
army, the coronation of the King, and the election
of the Palatine and the two keepers of the Crown.
No foreigner could obtain the Hungarian " Indi-
genat" (letters of naturalisation) without the spe-
cial consent of the Diet. The electoral laws drawn
up by the Diet in 1847 and 1848—to which the
Emperor referred in one of his letters to Baron Vay
—did away with the special rights of the nobles
and other privileged classes, and gave to all Hun-
garian citizens, if properly qualified, a right to take
part in the elections. According to the Wanderer
all persons who have attained their 20th year, and
have never been punished for treason, murder, rob-
bery, arson, or smuggling, are electors—

"w a. If they, in common With their wives and children,
possess a house or a piece of ground in a royal free city of
the value of 300 fl. b. If they, as mechanics, tradesmen, or
manufachirers have establishment's in which they constantly
employ one journeyman. c. If they have a certaix annual
revenue of 1001 from money in the funds, or from real
property. d. Physicians, surgeons, lawyers, engineers,
academical artists, professors, members of the Hungarian
learned societies, apothecaries, rectors, chaplains, village
notaries, and schoolmasters, are entitled to a vote in those
elective districts in which they reside. Every person who
has completed his twenty-fourth year cau be returned to the
Diet, which—excluding Transylvania, but including the
Banat and Vojvodina, Croatia, and Sclavonia—is is con-
sist of 377 members."

The counties were organised as follows :—The 1
principal civil employe, called " Ober-gespann"
(Lord-Lieutenant), was nominates by the Sove-
reign. Each county had two Vice-Gespanne (De-
puty Lieutenants), a notary public, a collector-
general of taxes, with several clerks, a controller
of accounts, and several " fiscals" or solicitors for
the poor. The County Court managed all matters
of administration and police, and levied the taxes.
Malefactors were also tried in the County Courts,
but they had a right to appeal to a higher "in-
stance:" All the employes in the counties, except-
ing the " Ober- Gespanne" and the judges, were
elected by the resident prelates, magnates, and gen-
try, and by the representatives of the Royal free
cities. The county assemblies also elected the mem-
bers for the Diet. The counties were divided and sub-
divided into district, sub-districts, and communes.
The chief of a district was called " Stuhlrichter"
(jodge), and h e had an assistant with the title of
" Vice Stuhlrichter." The last-mentioned employe
had the superintendence of the police, and they,
with the assistance of a couple of permanent jury-
men ( COnittats-Geschworene) administered justice.
The Hungarian Court Chancellery, which is to
the King of Hungary what the so-called " Bohemian
Court Chancellery" was to the Emperor of Austria,
