circumstances. Then—it will be remembered—
Lord PALMERSTON had occasion to eulogise in no
stinted terms of praise that Volunteer Movement
which has already brought together in defence of
these islands, in corps thickly clustered through
every shire of the Kingdom, but very little short of a
grand aggregate of 200,000 riflemen ! Lord PAL-
MERSTON had occasion, on Friday, to eulogise this
movement, and to insist upon the necessity of in
every way furthering the development of our in-
sular defences, both by sea and by land, against
the possibility of invasion—the Noble Viscount
had to do this on Friday evening last without in
any way wounding the amour propre of that
Ambassador from the Emperor of the FRENCH, M.
le Comte DE PERSIGNY, who, if not in an unpre•
cedented, certainly in a most unusual, manner was
invited to attend (for the express purpose, of course,
of listening to these among other remarks), invited
to attend through the agency of the noble lord her
Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
Nothing certainly of this kind tended last night to
enhance the difficulty of the Premier's task in com-
menting in a few flowing words upon a variety of
topics more or less vitally affecting the interests
of the general community.
Around the hospitable board of the Worshipful
Company of the Salters in the old hail of that
ancient company in St. Swithin's-lane, in the city
of London, there were happily for once not present
any of the leading members of the Diplomatic
Corps. So that while foreign affairs were not by
any means altogether overlooked, they did not
upon this one rare occasion monopolise almost ex-
clusively the attention of the principal speakers of
the night—Ministers could in fact for once take
into consideration their policy as it affects ourselves
at home, as well as their policy as it affects our
neighbours abroad. Three at least, and those three
of the chief among the sixteen members of the
Cabinet, were there ',present last night in Salters
Hall to speak for themselves—and one of these
three, the Prime Minister, to speak not only for
himself but for his absent colleagues also
vicariously. In the Ministerial Triumvirate
present, the chief place was awarded as by right
to the noble viscount the First Lord of the Trea-
sury—Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who was there also
with his three brother M.P.'s for the City, Baron
ROTHSCHILD, Sir JAMES DUKE, and Mr. R. W.
CRAWFORD, responding in his capacity as one of
London's four representatives—the Duke of So-
MERSET, who was the third Ministerial guest, re-
sponding for the Royal Navy, over which his grace
presides as chief administrator. The most extraor-
dinary omission of all that we have to note in the
proceedings of yesterday at this banquet
at the old Salters' Hall was the scarcely com-
prehensible fact that in replying to the
toast of the Royal Navy, as First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, his Grace the Duke of SOMERSET did not
at least avail himself, however passingly, of that
opportunity (upon that day !) of uttering some few
words of respectful and reverential allusion to the
g:orious hero who but a few hours previously had
been solemnly buried by his friends—not by the
Government, not by his country—in Westminster
Abbey ! Not a syllable of homage had England's
First Lord of the Admiralty to proffer to the
memory of that dauntless sailor, THOMAS COCHRANE,
Earl of DUNDONALD ! Was it shame that sealed
the Duke of SOMERSET upon this head —par-
ticularly in the presence of his two col-
leagues, but more particularly in the presence of
one of them, the chief of them, Lord PALMERSTON ?
It is certainly all of a piece—it is certainly
all in perfect keeping that this great man
should have been borne to his very grave
and deposited there, without any concession in his
regard from " the powers that be" in the way, we
will not say of anything like magnanimity, but in
the way absolutely of common decency and common
gratitude. As it is, the history of Lord DUN-
DONALD'S matchless career is now consistent
throughout. It is the history of a man who did
everything for his country—and for whom, in re-
turn, his country did literally nothing. For we
cannot in reason deem the presentation or the re-
storation to Lord COCHRANE of the insignia of the
Order of the Bath as really anything—remember-
ing the shameful incident of its temporary with•
drawal from him, and of the manner of its tempo-
rary withdrawal from him, between the date of that
original presentation and of that tardy restoration!
No—here in the record of Lord DUNDONALD'S
wonderful career, we repeat, is the history of
a hero for whom his country did nothing,
while he himself throughout his career for that
country did everything. Not a gun fired—as the
great man was lowered into his tomb ! Not a
soldier visible in attendance upon the funeral cor-
tege, bearing his dead body to the place of sepul-
ture! In the tears of Lord BROUGHAM, however,
that fell into the open grave yesterday after the
earth cast into it by the hand of .the Dean, the
grief of England at the departure of this great
spirit was most touchingly expressed. He is at
rest at length after eighty-five years of daring
activity, and those who honour his :memory the
most, can now afford to disdain in his regard the
indifference, the niggardliness, the pettyjealousies,
and at last even the contumelious silence of sue,
cessive Govergments.

Hungary has every encouragement, following the
advice of her great Leader, to be prudent and firm ;
she finds all things co-operating for her, even the
stubbornness and cunning of Austria herself.
Every day the national spirit and the national
hopes are growing; all accounts tell us that pea-
santry and nobles, ecclesiastics both Protestant and
Catholic, the old and the young, the education and
the illiteracy of the country, are alike in exhibiting
the same temper, and animated by the same ideas.
The youth of the universities will not submit to
literary lectUres in the hated tongue of the oppres-
sor, German has to give way to Magyar, and an
Asiatic dialect to become the vehicle of modern
ideas. Nobles refuse the office, equivalent most
nearly to the honourable one of Lord Lieutenant in
this country, because. they are nominated to it by
a Monarch
,who is not yet legitimately King of
their country, but chiefly because he has not re-
he despoiled
stored to Hungary the historical rights of which
her in 18;50. They will not accept
office from an illegitimate source, and with dimi-
nished powers.
Even the annexed provinces
(partes annexe)
themselves, who have been represented as tyranni-
cally governed by Hungary, are steadfast in their
desire to be dealt with as part of the Hungarian
Kingdom. This is indeed wisdom on their part ;
but tile difficulty was great. Austria had, by
bribery of their leading men—among
whom our
readers will remember the infamous Ban of
Crotia, JELLACHICII—set these provinces against
but when the perfidious Hapsburgs
hHaudn
a"attryain;ed their end they did not scruple to
violate the national sentiments of these provinces
—Transylvania, Croatia, and the Voivodina princi-
pally—as imprially as those of Hungary itself. I
