London, England, 1867-06-11 00:00:00

On the left of the President Szentivanyi, a Venetian
nobleman by Titian looking sort of man, sat a few
members in black or sad-coloured dresses, who re-
presented the extreme Radicals. They have no sym-
pathy for the Coronation, 'and lnok upon it as a
farce of no merit or entertain:ng power; but though
they were gloomy and solemn as Covenanters, they
did not eschew long boots, tight pantaloons, and
sabres. Beak was not visible, but Miko, Count
Bela Szechenyi (who has done all in his power
to promote the comfort of the English visitors),
Baron .Ambrosy, who served on Benedek's Staff,
and the owners of many famous Hungarian names,
could be made out in the glitter of the assembly,
and the officers of the house, in rich dresses with
tricolour scarves and sashes, moved in and out
from time to time with communications between
both houses. The proceedings were in Hungarian,
and among the many phenomena connected with the
present position of the kingdom none is more re-
markable than the fact that the Magyar language
has been raised almost from the dead within the
memory of man. It owes its present use to the
father of the Count Bela Szechenyi mentioned above,
for up to his time it was scarcely known, or if known,
was never used in society by the Magyar nobles and
was restricted to the peasantry. When he began to
speak it be was FlArcely understood by his class ; he.
was almost laughed at for his persistence in adopt-
ing it in every day life. Now it is, indeed, as much
national as is our own speech, although Hungarians
have not lost their polyglot powers, and all Magyar
gentlemen speak German and French, and very
many of them English..
Theniet had met for a short preliminary sitting
to receive the announcement that the King had been
pleased to ratify the election of Count George Karolyi
and Baron Vay as custodes of the crown of St.
Stephen. The appearance of the membderhewas
from
Fiume was greeted with loud cheering, and
immediately elected as one of the deputation that
was to wait on the Queen in the course of the morn-
ing to request her consent to the Coronation.
At 11 o'clock the members of both Houses, almost
without exception, proceeded to the Royal Palace of
Buda.

As we were going over to the Upper House, which
sits in a building in which are placed the collections
of the Pesth Museum, a Magnate announced that
the peers had risen, and they were seen issuing out
of the lofty portals and descending the steps in a tor-
rent of waving feathers and raiment of many colours,.
like the contents of some pyrotechnic projectile
which has burst aloft and is letting its golden rain
and silver stars and in any-b ued sparklin gs fall through
the night air. The Magnates could not, however, out-
do the members of the Lower House in their richness
and magnificence, although they could boast of finer
equipages and a more numerous and embroidered
valetaille. Conspicuous among them were prelates
who would make a ritualist fall down and worship,
so grand were they in purple robes and trappings,
and cocked—yes—cocked hats with gold tassels.
They all stood together waiting till their carriages
came up, and some, imitating the example of va-
rious Deputies, were content with open omnibuses,
and thus avoided the cab traffic, which is very high,
although the authorities who deal with London cabs
might come out here to this Hungarian capital and
see how much better are the vehicles and horses
there than in the greatest capital of the world. The
road to the Palace was long and hot over the bridge
and past the tribunes, now nearly empty to the
courtyard, where a guard of honour was stationed
and a fine military band comforted the spectators,
who were not very numerous, or who were, at all
events, not very dense at any one point of the
route till the Palace was reached. The Deputies
and Magnates as they arrived were ushered into
the apartments assigned to them, whence they were
led to the room in which the King and Queen were
stationed, with the great officers of State, the Hun-
garian noble Guard being on duty in their beauti-
ful but fantastic uniform.
Here the Magnates first and then the Deputies
were presented to the King. The members of both
houses now collected in the Grand Hall of Audience
and in solemn procession, preceded by the youngest
bishop, bearing the cross, Magnates bearing the
globe and sword of State, followed by the Ministers
and high officers of the Crown, the King again ap-
peared, and, addressing the assembled Lords and
Commons, said :
" We graciously accept the Inaugural Diploma
presented to us by the Magnates and representa-
tives, and return it furnished with our signature."
The Prince then spoke :
" Your Imperial Apostolic Majesty, Most Gra-
cious Sire—The princely confidence with which
your Majesty has been pleased to accept the
Royal Diploma which we had most dutifully pre-
sented, and the fulfilment of our most respectful
prayer that your Majesty should consent to be
crowned in accordance with our fundamental laws,
has filled the hearts of the nobles and representa-
tives and all your faithful subjects in Hungary with
unspeakable joy and happiness. IVith the most
profound and devoted respect the assembled nobles
the
ed
Constitution
fre
from
receive
opfeeycioouurs
Majesty,iewel of
ive
handsthi s
and while they perform a sacreddnuatzeinofetxple ressing
the most fervent gratitude in the whole
country they cannot but entertain a gratifying pre-
sentiment that your Majesty may have been chosen
by Providence to reawaken the ancient hereditary
undereditary
virtues of the Hungarian nation, and
your glorious rule she may regain and retain her
historical position to the advancement of civilisa-

tion. The Coronation of your Majesty will be the
commencement of the brighter future we so ardently
desire, therefore it is our most respectful petition
that your Majesty will be pleased to fix the day of
the Coronation, and also to grant our most fervent
petition that her Imperial and Royal Majesty, our
most gracious Mistress, may also be crowned with
your Majesty as Queen of Hungary, and that thus
the adamantine bond may be consecrated with
which the princely spirit and maternal affection of
their beloved Queen has already enchained the
eternally-grateful Hungarian nation."

His Majesty replied :
" Our loyal kingdom of Hungary has fully jus-

tified the confidence with which we appealed to the
nation for the removal of obstacles that had arisen
from the difficulties of the situation. By the favour
of God and the earnest endeavours of the Diet the

time has now arrived, to the joy of our paternal
heart, which enables us to subscribe an inaugural
diploma, assuring alike the rights of the King and
of the Constitution, and, according to hereditary
custom, to celebrate our solemn coronation. It is
impossible that the agreement so frankly and sin-
cerely made between the King and the nation should
not be beneficial and lasting in its results. (On
this the whole assemblage burst into a
cheer which shook the walls, repeated again
and again.) In fulfilment of the universal
desire of our beloved kingdom of Hungary
(continued the King with emotion), we fix the Bth
of this month as the day of our coronation. We
joyfully grant the request of our Diet that our most
illustrious consort should be crowned Queen. of
Hungary." (Great cheers.)
A numerous deputation then waited upon the
Empress, who received them with the ladies of her
Court, and made a profound impression by her
beauty and grace, to solicit her consent to be
crowned Queen of Hungary. The Empress, laying
aside the paper that had been placed in her hands
for her guidance, expressed herself of her own ac-

cord as follows :
"I joyfully accede to the desire of .the nation
notified to me through you. It is in accordance with
my own most fervent wishes, and I bless Provi-
dence that has let me live to see this sublime mo-
ment. Assure the Diet of my sincere gratitude and
accept my cordial greeting."
A deputation then again waited on the Emperor
to request his meat to the choice of Couut.Au-

Brennan.

of the honour than Count Julius Andrassy." And
the houses and the deputations withdrew, well
pleased with their reception, and with the result of
the day. Whether the Emperor of Austria and
the many Austrirns who remember the events of
1848-9 are, in their hearts, as well satisfied with all
that has occurred; and that which is to occur, is uu-
known ; bat there is a'Fignificant fact for the world
in general which is not conversant with the rnCrits
of the Hungarian question. While the coronation
is in progress, on Saturday, the party of the Extretnn
Left and their friends retire to perform a sole.un
requiem for the death of the Hungarian Cousiiitu-
tion on the hill_ of Buda! The authorities have
ordered troops to attend on the occasion, but they
have directions not to interfere in any way unlca. a
breach of the peace takes place, and in that case they
will arrest the ringleaders. Ibis is a bad sign.
People ask if the movement has any connexion with
the letter of Kossuth and the arrival of his son.
In the evening both Houses again met. The
Lower House elected a deputation to present the
coronation gift, already voted, of 50,900 duerAts to
each of their Majesties, and it was agreed that the
House should meet, at half-past son Saturday
morning, and proceed in corpore to Buda, where at
7 o'clock they must be present -in the church in
which the coronation takes place.

"for no one wants it more than yourself." Another mem-

and commenced by saying, "Mr. Speaker, the generality
of mankind in general are disposed to exercise oppression
on the generality of mankind in general." " You had bet-
ter stop," said ono who was near enough to pull him by

!ADVERTISEMENT.) -301101Vity'S Ointment and
Incontrovertible Principles.—All ulcers require for their
cure a free fupply of pure blood and power in the local
nerves, and vessels to build up the desired new flesh.
That Holloway's remedies can effect both thene objects is
now an unquestionable fact, which has been proved be-
yond all doubt in both hemispheres by the afflicted of both
sexes. When a sore apps
constitutiears on any
o nal, and will need the
other part of the body
except the leg it is alt ay
united influence of ointment and pills to heal it up ; when
the ulceration is on the leg it may be merely a local ail-
ment, which the ointment unaided, well and diligently al).
plied, is competent to cure.
