Hungary would be separate countries, "as there is
no other tie between them than a personal one."
When the Constitution is de facto restored, and a
responsible Ministry formed, the coronation can
be discussed, but not before. It was Francis Joseph
I. who convoked the Hungarian Diet, and to him-
that Assembly has to communicate its wishes. Ait
addressmust be presented, as a resolution (hatarozat)
would not be admissible unless both parties were
under arms and on the eve of hostilities. The opp•'-
nents .of the address are of opinion that Francis,
Joseph•l. is not the lawful heir to the Hungarian.
crown, because in the act of abdication no special
mention is made of King Ferdinand V. of Hun-
gary, but de facto the throne is vacant, and his
Majesty, in virtue of the Pragmatic Sanction, has
a just claim to it. Although such are the opinions
entertained by M. Deak, the leader of the Moderate
party in Hungary, the Austrians still flatter them-
selves the Hungarians will eventually recognise
tile validity of the Fundamental Laws published
by the whole empire on the 27th of February. The
forcible levy of taxes continues in Hungary, and
Deak recommends his fellow-countrymen to pay
what is demanded of them. Poor Teleli is sadly
reviled here because he did not keep the promise
which he made to the Emperor. " The man who
makes a solemn promise and breaks it is a scoundrel
(Schurk)," said a person to me yesterday. The
gentleman in question is well intentioned, but IL/ is
over fond of forcible language, and is besides lot-
getful of the past. The Emperor has granted ark
audience to the Croato-Slavonian deputation, ant
told it that he will for this time (dermalen) permit.
the inhabitants of the military frontiers to send
deputies to Agram. His Majesty, however, declared
that the maintenance of the military frontier system
was necessary to the wellbeing of the empire, and
also that he did not intend to force Dalmatia into
a union with Croatia and Slavonia.

Both the Chambers of the Austrian Reiclsrath
have drawn up their addresses to the Emperor, and
will bring them forward on Saturday next, on which
day there will be public sittings. On Wednettday
there was a great soiree in the apartments in ha-
bited by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. All lthe
members of the Beichsrath were present, aad
almost all the foreign Ministers.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, i have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans. and oilcake may be ent rely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is eval in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
at the cost of Id.. mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is afeed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels wei*•h net 1 ton 1

THE SLTN.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1881.

We hope the fire-eating Americans are now
heartily ashamed of themselves for their impertinent
lecturing of Great Britain. Our greatest crime
was that we determined to treat the Southern Se-
cession as belligerents ; that was the teehnical word
we selected from the vague code of international law
in accordance with precedent, and in obedience to the
most reasonable instincts of humanity. For doing
so no motive was too mean to be ascribed to us.
Cotton to save Lancashire from starvation or in-
surrection was the most charitable one imputed
to us. Another crime was, that we did
net at once declare against the South and
for the North; it was even hinted, to the extent that
our affection for the latter should have called forth
substantial aid in some way. The Northerns, how-
ever, soon perceived that to ask this of us, was to
ask us to become judges in a national affair, and
we were soon released from any other demand than
that of perfect neutrality. Only, of course, our
press was to write up the North as engaged in a pure,
patriotic, and noble cause, and to write down the
South as the guiltiest and most unreasonable of Re-
bels. The latter view was never quite clear to us ;
that is, taking the standpoint of both North and
South in regard to slavery. For while the South
had not one illegal or hostile act to complain of, it
had the Republican avowal that the institution
Which both had patronised, was henceforth to be
limited, No extension of slavery, was the
'Ate on the Northern Flag, and both
sides held that this would ultimately depreciate
enormously the value of slave property ; perhaps
lead in.
the issue to its extinction. The South,
therefore, would
not await an active attack ; it
took the usual precaution of being beforehand with
an avowed foe, however, we are not asked now
material aid. It is seen that
we have nothing to do
with the quarrel.

We should think the North
erne must now also
blush to have reproached usvith
acknowledging the
t
South as belligerents, with treating
them
mneh order
as a body
of men too large, and acting with 0
and general conformity to law, to be treated as
a mob or as pirates ; to be shot down as dis-
turbers of the peace, or to be hung at the
yard-arm as " enemies of the human race."

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.

About a quarter before twelve yesterday morn-
ing the Sheriffs of London, attended by Mr.
Secondary Potter, and the Bridge-master, S. P.
Rose, Esq., attended at Guildhall and the Mansion-
house, to " read the writ" received by them (the
sheriffs) " for the election of one citizen to serve in
Parliament for the City of London," in the room of
Lord John Russell. Mr. Harker, the chief yeoman
usher, having read the writ, the sheriffs gave notice
that they should proceed to the election (nomina-
tion), at the Guildhall, dtt Monday next, at 12 at
noon precisely.
Mr. Western Wood addressed a meeting of the
electors of the wards of Aldgate, Portsoken, and
Billingsgate, last evening at Sussex-hall, Leaden-
hall-street—Mr. Deputy Whiteside in the chair,
and having heard an exposition of the candidate's
political principles, a resolution in his favour was
passed by the meeting.
Yesterday afternoon the committee of the Lord
Mayor, on the request being made to them, paid in
their quota of the expense of hustings and polling-
booths. There can be no doubt that Mr. Wood's
committee have also contributed their share, from
which it may be inferred that both candidates will
go to a poll.
The subjoined communication was received yes-
terday from Lord John Russell by Mr. Thomas
Baring, M.P., the chairman of the Lord Mayor's
central committee :—" Foreign-office, July 24. My
dear Sir,—Permit me to request you to express to
the committee of the Lord Mayor my grateful
acknowledgments of the letter you sent to the
chairman of the meeting at the Guildhall. I may
also request you to express personally to the Lord
Mayor my thanks for his kindness in allowing the
use of the Guildhall to the meeting assembled to
bear my parting address.—l remain your very
faithful servant, J. RUSSELL.—Thos. Baring, Esq."

its value.

ITALY.

The Perseveranza, of Milan, publishes an
"Address of the young men of Hungary to those
of Italy," expressive of deep regret for the death of
Count Cavour, whose talents and virtues are therein
warmly acknowledged.
The following is the text of General Cialdini's
second proclamation to the Neapolitans :
" Naples, July 19.

" Neapolitans !—The Government of the King
has sent me here to rid your beautiful country
of the bands of brigands which infest it. The
resignation of Count PODZ3. di San Martino, ever
to be regretted, having since then occurred, his
Majesty, by a decree of the 14th inst., has been
pleased to appoint me his lieutenant in these pro-
vinces ; and this, no doubt, for the purpose of
uniting in one single hand both the military and
civil powers, in order thus to facilitate the fulfil-
ment of my mission. I come preceded by the testi-
mony of friendship which it has pleased the muni-
cipality of Naples to award to me by declaring me to
be your fellow-townsman. So flattering an honour,
so dear to my heart, imposed upon me a duty of gra-
titude, and I am come to fulfil it. But little or
nothing can I do without you—with you I can do
all. Between him who robs and assassinates you,
and him who wishes to defend your life and pro-
perty, the choice does not appear doubtful. I
therefore rely on the natural good sense of the
brave Neapolitan people, and on the ex-
cellent spirit of their admirable National
Guard. I invoke and await with confidence the
support of every fraction of the great Liberal
party ; for this is a vital question, not one of form ;
it is a question of common, and not of private in-
terest. Let therefore all irritating polemics cease.
Let himwho wishes for liberty, under the guarantee
of strong laws impartially applied, him who wants
Italy to be free under King Victor Emmanuel, be
with me—l do not desire or defend any other cause.
Let a single cry issue from our breasts, because,
simultaneous and unanimous, it will echo powerfully
and irresistibly from the Tronto to the Grecian Sea.
It will be sufficient to disperse the reactionary bands
within a short time, and to cast discouragement
into the soul of him who pays, moves, and directs
them from a distance. When Vesuvius roars,
Portici trembles. `` ENRTCO CIALDINI."

COURT CIRCULAR.

o'clock, at which were present his Royal Highness the
Prince-Consort, Earl Granville, Viscount Palmerston, Sir

St. Germans, Viscount Sydney, and Earl Spencer.
At the Council Sir Robert Peel, Bart., was sworn in a

Queen the seals of the War Department, and delivered up
to her Majesty the seals of the Home Department.

THE WESTMINSTER STREET RAILWAY.—At the
last meeting of the Westminster Board of Works an appli-
cation was made for permission to lay down a line of rails
in continuance of the line along Victoria-street, along
Bridge-street, and over Westminster-bridge, so as to unite
with another line of rails alone Lambeth, and to the Ele-
phant and Castle; but the board, after discussion, decided
that a letter be sent to the applicants stating that the opinion
of the board was unfavourable to the extension of the line.

A WORD ON COMETS.—It is not a small triumph
to be able in some measure to define the form of the orbit of
a bodywhich performs its mighty journey aroundour common
centre, the sun, in more years than this great globe takes
days to do the same. Still more is it to have set at rest those
extravagant notions which perplexed nations, confounded
emperors and kings, and set up gaunt superstition upon its
tall stalking horse to prey on cruelty and ignorance. Even in
more modern, and therefore happily more enlightened times,
the fear of a brush of the tail of one such visitor brought sad
tribulation in its train ; but the matter which once was
thought to engulph the world in destruction is now looked
on with calmer eyes; Mr. Hind asserting that we really
were in the tail of our present friend at the moment these
thoughts were passing through my brain; and we saw,
nearly two years ago, that the satellites of our big brother
Jupiter endured a very considerable embrace without any
evil result. If, then, when in actual contact they are
harmless, surely at a distance, and in their significative
or prophetic bearing, they may be held to be equally
aor—
Once a Wok.

THE LATE FA2',4L ENCOUNTER IN

NORTH Eiji lI:LAND-8 MEET.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.
(Continuci from The Sun of yesterday.)
The Coroner proceeded to sum up, when, commencing to
read Mr. Canton's evidence as to the cause of death,
The Jury intimated that they were then almost entirely
agreed upon their verdict.
The Coroner, upon this, only explained under what cir-
cumstances they would be justified in returning a verdict
of justifiable homicide, if they considered that the Major
had killed the deceased in the effort to save his own life.
He read over at length the whole statement of Major Mur-
ray, and at its conclusion asked the jury if they wished to
retire to consider their verdict.

The foreman replied that it was not necessary, and, after
conferring with his colleagues for a minute, said, " We find
a -verdict of justifiable homicide,
.and that Major Murray
slew the deceased to save his own life." -
The verdict was received with applause by the Court.
The Coroner said he entirely concurred with the finding
of the jury.
The foreman then paid a high compliment to Mr. Durkin
for the sagacity and patient care he had shown throughout
in unravelling this most mysterious case.
Mr. Durkin replied that he was exceedingly gratified at
the compliment, but he hoped their thanks would be ex-
tended to Inspector Mackenzie, who had been associated
with him in the whole of the'proceedings, and who had
exhibited the greatest zeal in elucidating that which at first
appeared a mystery.
In reply to a question, Mr. Durkin stated that, after the
finding of the jury, Major Murray could at once be removed
to his own home. They had already taken away the con-
stable who since the occurrence had been in charge of him.
Thus ended the proceedings in this most extraordinary
case.

party feeling would prevent the house from granting the
fees for the patent.
Capt. JERVIS denied that any portion of the house vni
animated by anything like party feeling on this subject.
Mr. MOWBRAY said that while all parties admitted
the eminent services rendered by Lord Brougham, there
were those who thought that they ought not to pay the fees
for a man who had not rendered any public services.
The committee divided, when them appeared—

Mr. G. BENTINCK then moved to reduce the vote by
£512 165., the charge for Lord Brougham's patent.
Mr. LAYARD said this was a purely party opposition.
Mr. WILLIAMS observed that Lord Brougham received
£lO,OOO a year during the three years he was Lord-Chan-
cellor, and for the 20 years which had elapsed since he bad
been receiving £5,000 a year.
The committee then divided, when there appeared--

PAUL FOSTER'S DAUGHTER.
By DUTTON COOK.

"A good novel. The story is very ingeniously constructed,
and the interest is completely sustained throughout. All the
characters are vigorously and consistently drawn, and the
p irt sustained by each is natural and appropriate. Lastly,
Mr. Cook has been singularly happy in his hoice of a heroine.
It is long since we have met in a work of fiction with a more
charming creation than Sylvia Foster."—Spectator.
Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITII'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

COLONIAL.

TEA.—At the public sales the biddings have been more
animated, and full prices have been obtained for most de-
scriptions.
SUGAR.—The market continues dull, and to effect sales
to any extent holders have to accept lower rates.
COFFEE.—Business has been dull ; good and fine quali-
ties, ihowever, have been fully maintained at previous quo-
tations.

RicE.—The dealings have been more extensive, and a
firmer tone has prevailed, fully late prices being obtained
for good and sound descriptions.
SALTPETRE.—No dealings of importance have been en-
tered into, and quotations are quite nominal.
TALLOW.—The market has remained very quiet. P.Y.C.
in all positions being quoted 47s per cwt.

Lord Lyndhurst has quite recovered from his
recent indisposition, and has left town, accompanied by
Lady Lyndhurst and the lion, Miss Copley, for Tunbridge-
Wells.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.—Yesterday, in the Earl
cf Chichester's committee, the bill for the Ramsgate exten-
sion of the Margate Railway was passed. The other bills
passed were the Cale Valley and Halstead and Midlan
Counties and Shannon Junction Railway. The hearing of
the Newcastle, Dement, and Weardale case is likely to
terminate and a decision be come to to-day. In Ihe Com-
mons, the bills of the West London Extension Railway,
