should understand that we are not simply upon '
the verge of the millennium, but actually in the very
midst of it. According to him, it is the merest
folly our devoting £30,000,000 within the year to
the furtherance of our military and maritime
armaments. According to his view for a
very long while past, if we ought not
to beat our swords into ploughshares and our spears
into reaping hooks, we ought certainly to transform
our rifles into spinning jennies, and our Armstrong
guns into railroads and steam engines. Yet all the
while—what is it that this boasted Pacificator of
Europe, this vaunted Friend of England, has been
doing exactly opposite our shores since he put his
sinister hand upon the Purse and his dexter hand upon
the Sword of France ? Why, as Mr. ROEBUCK re-
minds his fellow-countrymen—the French Emperor
has been all this while increasing the efficiency of
the French army, and he has been so fostering the
French navy that it is second only to that of England.
The Imperial army of France is at this moment—
during a time of peace—upon a war footing. It is
600,000 strong. The Imperial navy of France is n©t
alone " only second" to the royal navy of England,
but it is the only rival to it anywhere discoverable
upon the seas. This—recollect—while Franle has
scarcely a colony to speak of ! And why all this ?
asks Mr. ROEBUCK. Why that army of 600,000 men
in a time of peace ? Why that activity in the French
dockyards ? Why that immense navy ? Why those
formidable maritime fortifications ? Mr. ROEBUCK

answers everyone of these questions in just six
plain words—"
They are there to threaten •Eng-
land."" And, he adds, "I as an Englishman, am
not born to be threatened with impunity." The
force of all this is undeniable. France has no need
of those gigantic fleets—excepting with a view to
direct them continual:y against England. Other-
wise they are there for no reason within the limits
of conjecture. And it is because the Imperial
navy of France is being thus increased
and multiplied without France having any
colonies (worth talking about) to defend, without
France having any maritime power (unless it be
England) with which to contend—it is because of
this that England has all along viewed, is still
viewing, will yet continue to view until the end
wits suspicion, the ominous and threatening course
pursued so very persistently by the taciturn
Emperor of the FRENCH, at the head of his despotic
Government.

Happily, however—having recognised all this—
we have within the last few years placed ourselves
wisely in (so far as human views will let us understand
things) something at any rate having the appear-
ance of a secure position ! Our army has profited by
the terrible lesion learnt in the Crimea. It is more
effectively disciplined. It is, in a great manner,
reorganised througl.out. The same, to a consider-
able extent, nay be said of our navy—now either
already reconstructed or in rapid process of reeon-
structioh. Beyond which these " dragons' teeth"
already spoken of have been sown, and the Volunteers
have started up from the ground to the number
of 170,000 armed Riflemen. " And," as Mr. ROE-
BUCK took pleasure yesterday in reminding his
fellow-countrymen, through his constituents at
Sheffield, "besides this, there is at the head of the
Administration now one who cares for the honour
and the safety of England." And, Mr. ROEBUCK
added, " that so long as we had him there, we were
safe. He had said that he was not versed in
the language of compliment, but this he said
from his very heart. He felt the danger in
which England was placed, and looked with re-
spect upon the man to whom was confided the safety
of the country ; and depend upon it, as soon as we
got rid of this man we should get rid of one of our
great defences. He had never been a party man ;
all the world knew that. He had, he believed,
done his utmost on one occasion to turn this very
man out of office, and he thought he had succeeded,
but still he said that Lord .1 OHN RUSSELL, on
making his farewell speech to the House of
Commons made use of words which ought to
sink deep into the hearts of Englishmen.'
May not Ministers, in sober truth, lake a
hint from these words during the interval for deli-
berate reflection now allowed to them before the
reassembling (in another five months' time) of the
two Houses of Parliament ? Here is a thoroughly
independent member of Parliament—perhaps the
very least of a party man within its walls—heart
and soul with Ministers (notwithstanding all their
shortcomings, especially as Reformers) if they will
but uphold the honour and the dignity of. England
through England's Diplomacy !

We have Mr. ROEBUCK'S word for it that the
Emperor of AUSTRIA is an " honest and a wise
man." Most happy should we be to believe him.
Who can wish to think the EMPEROR less honest
than Mr. ROEBUCK himself; while all will wish him,
without any disrespect to the honourable member,
even more wisdom. We ought not, indeed, to dis-
pute with Mr. ROEBUCK on the point—" It's net
the luck of every man to gl to Vienna," as the old
Latin proverb might be new translated ; but it ha's
been the luck of Mr. ROEBUCK, and of Mr. LEVER
too, and during the Russian war it was the luck of
Lord JOHN RUSSELL also. And they all came back
with one story—all by their words, or deeds, or
both, told us that there was no place like Vienna.
After this it may seem like unpardonable presump-
tion and arrogance, though we are sure Mr. ROE-
BUCK, if any one, can forbear with such failings, to
differ from these three witnesses. We must,
however, complacently remind them that they
are but witnesses that we believe all
they saw, and can tell us from personal
knowledge, but that we think ourselves quite as
competent to form opinions from their evidence and
that of others—to be good
judges and jurymen, as
they themselves.

Our readers well remember ROBERT OWEN. We
believe him to have been an honest man—but his
wisdom was more scheming. We wish we could say
as much of the Emperor of AUSTRIA—we believe
his wisdom to be that of ROBERT OWEN'S, but it is
minus the honesty of the untiring schemer. If it
will at all propitiate Mr. ROEBUCK, we may say,
that though we sec no reason why the moral quali-
ties of the ruling Hapsburg should be better than
those which have made the dynasty the standing
example before Europe of soft speaking cruelty
and unblushing bad faith, we yet speak of the
EMPEROR only in his public capacity. As the
being who takes certain other beings to his coun-
cils, hears what they say, and then issues his
decrees, and diplomas, and rescripts, with the Im-
perial WE. This " WE" FRAMs Josimr, " we" the
Editor of The Sun do not believe to be an honest
man, and we are perfectly sure he is not a wise one.
0 ur reason may be very briefly given. An
honest man pays his debts when he can ; and the
Emperor of AUSTRIA does not pay his debts.
,ire do not mean his pecuniary debts ; every
Exchange in
,Europe knows that he cannot pay
them, though were his pecuniary honesty what it
ought to be, he would live within his income, dis-
band half his army- ; set the men whose pay and
equipment now beggars him, to produce wealth for
the country, and scan extricate himself from all
'nix monetary p?,rplexitiEs. But the lc3t he cannot
pay IC caused I>y ••!4oclebt he will not pay. Mr. ROE-
ivcii attaeki the
" vfisdova of Hungary is Quterinis

into competition with her SOVEREIGN, impeding
him in his great work" and so forth. Now leaving
for a moment the question of wisdom—Dare Mr.
ROEBUCK insinuate that the Hungarians make one
single claim to which they have not a clear
legal and constitutional RIGHT, if FRANCIS
JOSEPH has a right to be considered hereditary
King of the country. That is the point so far as
honesty is concerned.

The Emperor—or, rather, his councillors, for
we believe no one supposes him to have per-
sonally the capacity for any schemes beyond the
traditional ones of his dynasty—the EMPEROR may
have a scheme to offer, worthy the wisdom of a
BURLEIGH or a BACON; but if those to whom he
offers it prefer their rights, however inferior, is he
honest if he thrusts his scheme upon them ? Does
Mr. ROEBUCK need to be sent to school and to read
again in his cyclopmdia of the whipping CYRUS got
for awarding, as boy judge, the little boy's great
tunic to the big boy, and the big boy's little tunic
to the little boy, because so each were better fitted ?
Are the first principles of social and political right
and wrong to be subverted, because the Emperor
of AUSTRIA is, as he himself and Mr. ROEBUCK
think, a wise man ? Can, indeed, wisdom be ever
built on the ruins of plain justice ? The vineyard of
NABOTH may not be worth half what a King would
give for it, but we never yet heard the
right of JEZEBEL and her lord to make
NABOTH'S fortune against his will defended. And
the old constitution of the Hungarians may by a
cranky unsymmetrical thing indeed by the side
of the " bran•new" device of the EMPEROR and
his Jezebels, but the Hungarians, too, have a right
to say, " God forbid that we should part with the
inheritance of our fathers, and give it unto thee ;"
or unto a Reichsrath. Let Mr. ROEBUCK
know that all England will cheer the reply. The
wisdom of new institutions may be a doubtful
thing—but lives there the Englishman, Whig,
Tory, or Radical, for when it comes to this we
are all of one party, who will not cheer the man
and the country that is prepared to shed its blood
rather than to part with the franchises it does
enjoy. Put it to the descendants of Lord ELDON
himself, whether our House of Commons should
surrender their right to vote the supplies,
the number of men for the army, and to
hold the King's Ministers responsible, and
all the superannuated Tories who could not crawl
into the House of Lords would send in their proxies
for standing by the constitution. Yet these are the
very things on which the Hungarians are chiefly

insisting.

Bat, with all due deference to Mr. ROEBUCK, we
think the Hungarians would be very unwis3 to
hearken to the counsel for Austria. The entire new
scheme is but a scheme, and may prove a failure.
It is the scheme of a Dynasty and Government
which has treated Hungary, not only through the
greater part of three hundred years, but during the
last twelve years, with intolerable cruelty, treachery,
and perfidy. How can Hungary trust such a
Government. "It knows better now," said Mr.
ROEBUCK," it fell sick at Solferino." " Oh, yes,"
the Hungarians might reply with perfect justice-
-44 When the Devil was sick, the Devil a monk would be ;
When the Devil got well, the devil a monk was he."

Austria has had too many such sicknesses and re
coverlos in the course of Hungarian history ; and
it would be madness to trust her.

But further, we must deny that the course
now taken by Hungary need " impede " an
" honest and wise " monarch in inaugurating
constitutional government throughout his dominion.
It might rather be used to facilitate his plans. For
a long time Scotland, and a still longer time Ire-
land, was united with England precisely in the
manner in which Hungary is willit g to remain
united with the rest of the Emperor of Austria's
dominions. Had the kings of England endeavoured
to coerce the Parliaments of those kingdoms
into uniting in one federal Parliament, what
would have been the consequences here? The
same distrust and resistance precisely, as is now
seen in Hungary. Our Sovereigns did not attempt
to pluck the pear till it was ripe. They did not
octroi—vouchsafe—a federal constitution with
municipal local governments--they made terms
with the Scotch and Irish Parliaments—and
FRANCIS JOSEPH is bound, if only moderately
wise and honest, to do the same. Instead of this,
like a Royal and political highwayman, he displays
his German soldiers to the Hungarians,
and says— " Your constitution or your life."
He begins at the wrong end. He might be
the all-powerful monarch of a noble, and
marvellously generous and forgiving people.
He prefers to be their tyrant—to enforce unon them
unity with the strange bodge-podge of provinces
enumerated by Mr. ROEBUCK, when they have no
inclination to be members of his political harem.
If the EMPEROR would be honest, therefore wise,
and therefore patient, in time all his dominions,
impartially and constitutionally, governed, might
coalesce spontaneously under one representation
and one Ministry.
What Mr. ROEBUCK'S wise man and wise men
of Vienna will do, we too well know. As dis-
honest as foolish they will dissolve the Diet for
doing its duty to its country, and will, doubtless,
then try everything that bayonets, bribery, and
treachery can accomplish. They will beguile some
of the " annexed parts," no doubt—but we as little
doubt that all Hungary will do its duty, and do it
as one man.

Pity it is, that The Great Liberator DANIEL
O'CONNELL could not be restored to life, if but
that for a brief interval he might visit " the
glimpses of the moon," and see how much better
Ireland can get on without that miserable farce of the
Repeal Agitation. The arrival of VICTORIA, Queen
of Great Britain and Ireland, in Ireland, marks, we
cannot but think with exultation, and with confi-
dent trust, a new epoch in the history of the
sister country. Her MAJESTY goes thither after
having reigned now for four and-twenty years
over these islands, and all their world-wide
dependencies. Her MAJESTY goes thither only to
witness the advance and the consolidation of a com-
mercial, agricultural, and social prosperity that
no less a man than Lord BROUGHAM (also visiting
Ireland now for the first time) has avowed within
the last few days that he beholds with astonish-
ment. The very fact of the dying out of that
egregiously
mistaken agitation for a Repeal of the
Union has in itself of course had something to do with
this. There has been the beneficent onTration too
of the ever memorable Encumbered Estates Act—
that, it were impossible not to take into calculation
when viewing the happy change of things latterly
visible on the other side of St. George's Channel.
But—far more than either—there is the influence
exercised by the Age itself, by the generation now
peopling both Feigland and Ireland. That
ohiactkebed-
nignant influence, under Heaven, must be
upon mainly as the worker of these miracles of im-
provement. In the political world clone there are
more amenities now prevailing than the last genera-
tion. retilap, ever Leatirt of. There are the widen-
ing and widening principles of free trade—ever in-
creasingly and more and more beneficently affecting
the whole mercantile population. There is the general
facilitation of rapid intercourse.by sea and land.
Railways intersecting the country---stcam-paelietra

traversing the channel to and fro—the two islands
linked together in momentaryintercommunication by
means of the magical metallic fibre of the submarine
telegraph. Comparing Ireland as it is, with Ire-
land as it was, her MAJESTY will find there almost
as much of a new country after wielding
its sceptre for four and twenty years, as either
COLUMBUS or VESPUCCI found upon the opposite
shores of the Atlantic. After the Queen shall
have left Ireland, it will be well that the tomb of
O'CONNELL in Gl.assnevin Cemetery should at
length receive its fitting inscription. Let his great
name be inscribed there as it well deserves to be,
with his glorious appellation of—

THE LIBERATOR !

But—alter that—let these words also he aaded—
THE LAST OF THE TRIBUNES

AND

THE LAST OF THE REPEALERS,

THE BISHOPRIC OF DURHAM.—The Western
_Daily Press of yesterday says :—" Dr. Baring, Bishop of
Gloucester and Bristol, has been selected for the vacant see
of Durham. This is a well-merited tribute to his lordship.
Some have had rccasion to criticise his proceedings unfa-
vourably—ourselves among the number—but all classes
have admired his zeal and energy, and especially his readi-
ness to meet the wants and wishes of the clergy. In his
n w and more important position he will find a good deal
of rough work, and much less agreement with the strong
views of doctrine and discipline which his lordship holds
than in the diocess he Las occupit d." We believe Dr.
Thompson will succeed Dr. Baring.
THE MARCO POLO IN COLLISION WITH AN
ICEBERG.—Yesterday, the Marco Polo arrived at Liver-
pool from Port Philip, which place she left on the 20th
February. The delay in the passage was caused by the
vessel having, on the 4th March, in the South Pacific
ocean, come into contact with an immense iceberg. The
ship's boNN sprit was knocked out, her bows were greatly
damaged, the foremast sprung, &c. Such was the nature
of the damage sustained that all hopes of saving the vessel
were at one time given up; but, owing to the cool intre-
pidity of the captain, and the brave conduct of all on board,
the Marco Polo was taken into Valparaiso on the 2d April.
After undergoing a thorough repair, the ship sailed for
Liverpool towards the end of May, with all her passengers,
242 in number, and 6,570 ounces of gold dust on board.
Notwithstanding that the voyage extended over about 173
days, the health of all on board was excellent, and the pas-
sengers are high in their praise of the conduct of the cap-
tain, officers, and crew.

A HAPPY MARRIED LTFE.—The following an-
nouncement appears in the Times obituary of this day :
On the 7th inst., at West Brompton, after an illness of
four days, Emilia, the beloved and loving wife of Frederick
Philip Thompson, Esq., of Chelsea and Pall-mall East,
deeply regretted by all who knew her. To her memory be
it recorded, that, during a married life of nearly 36 years,
there was but one disagreement, and that one, only of a
few hours' duration.

STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—On
Tuesday, the 2 'th inst., at Dumbarton, Messrs. W. Denny
and Brothers launched a large screw steamer named the
Sidon, of about 1,800 tons and 300-horse power. The Sidon
is intended for the Cunard Company's Mediterranean line
of seamers from Liverpool, and will be followed by the
Morocco, which is nearly ready for launching, by the same
builders. The present competition in the Mediterranean
will, it is said, lead to their building other steamers of a
similar class to reinforce their Mediterranean fleet.
THE MURDER AT EVERLEIGH.—The under•-
keeper, John Stocker, is now kept under the strict surveil-
lance of the police, of whom there is a strong body at Ever.
leigh, including the county superintendent, Capt. Meredith.
The two lodges and the boiling-house, from which the corpse
of the unfortunate woman, Ann Hill, has been removed to
her own house, are in the possession of the former, and no
one is allowed to enter them. The coroner (Mr. Sylvester)
of Trowbridge, was not expected till 10 a.m. yesterday. On
Tuesday, upon the information of Mr. Thomas Stretton,
superintendent of the Marlborough Division of the County
Police, John Stocker was charged before Mr. T. E. Fowler,
of Durrington, with the wilful murder of Ann Hill. Evi••
dente was given by J,din Hill, the husband of the deceased,
who returned from Worcestershire early on Tuesday morn-
ing, and Mr. C. J. Monk, his employer. The prisoner was
remanded until the next day at 10 a.m.
THE CROPS IN NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE. --
Throughout the greater part of this important agricultural
district harvest operations are now pretty general. On the
wolds, the cliffs, and the heath the wheats give fair promise
of an average yield, and, if fully matures' under bright
suns, will be fine in quality. On the low lands and clays
there will, it is feared, be a great deficiency, not only in
average, but in quality ; much is very thin upon the ground,
and some greatly storm stricken. On some grounds blight
and mildew again appear, but they are exceptiona instances.
The fine days of the past few weeks have brought about a
very gratifying change in the appearance of .many crops.
Barley is, in general, a fair crop, and stands well. Malt-
ing qualities will be wanted, and there promises to be no
lack of choice. Oats are light, having been considerably
thinned by wire worms and grubs. In the fields cut the
quality is fine, although short in the straw. Beans have
been in many places injured by the black fly. Potatoes
again succumb to disease in its most virulent form ; no dis-
trict appears to be exempl from its ravages. Turnips, al-
though escaping the fly in their earlier stages, have fallen
victims to the wire worms; consequently, almost every
field shows large patches Swedes are a very good crop,
and mangolds a most indifferent one, the seed in many in-
stances only partially germinating. A new enemy attacked
the leaf this year and totally destroyed it.
THE BLACKFRIARS STATION OF THE LONDON,
CHATHAM, AND DOVER DIRECT RAILWAY.—Very exten-
sive preparations ate being made for the formation of the
station at Blackfriars-bridgq (south side) and for the con-
struction of the viaduct as far as Great Charlotte-street, so
as to meet the viaduct of the section advanced to Walworth,
and the work will be commenced immediately. The pro-
perty between Church-street and Walworth has been pur-
chased by the company, and the buildings will be pulled
down as the works of the viaduct are advanced. The rail-
way bridge across the Thames, from Albion wharf, on the
south side of the river, to St. Ann's wharf, on the Middle-
sex side, will not be commenced until the viaduct of the
Blackfriars Extension is completed. It is expected that
the line will be opened for traffic from the Blackfriars sta-
tion early in the ensuing year.

SPOILT LKGS.--Fiat foot can be produced in in-
fancy when children are induced to walk before the bones
and ligaments are strong enough to bear the weight of the
body. Parents should never be in a hurry to set children
on their legs, but let them roll and kick until they walk of
their own will. Again, at the age of about fourteen, when
the body is increasing rapidly in size and weight, weakness
will often show itself by a yielding of the arch of the foot
sole, INhen pressure on the foot, as in the case of errand-
boys or young nursery-maids, is too great or too long con-
tinued. It is common among our farm-labourers, who stran-
gle all the movements of the feet in their laced high-lows,
and so accustom themselves to a sort of stilt walking that
they hardly know how to use their feet, and want the
" support" of their work-a-day clumps when they put on
their Sunday shoes. There are three joints of the foot, and
of all of them movement is crippled in such high-lows as
are worn by the English labourer. Men who are so shod
that they walk somewhat as if they had cork legs, and
do not execute the proper movements of the foot, have
the muscles of the foot and leg ill developed, and the
small and shapeless leg of au English agricultural
labourer thus becomes a direct consequence of the make
of his high-lows. " Look," says Sir Charles Bell,
"at the legs of a poor Irishman travelling to the
harvest with bare feet ; the thickness and roundness of the
calf show that the foot and toes are free to permit the exer-
cise of the muscles of the legs. Look again at the leg of our
English peasant, whose foot and ankle are tightly laced in
a shoe with a wooden sole, and you will perceive from the
manner in which he lifts his legs, that the play of the
ankle, foot, and toes is lost as much as if he went on stilts,
and therefore are his legs small and shapeless." We know
that, according to tdd tradition, "footmen" are still judged
by their calves. When they hal real running to do, the
development of that essential muscle of the calf was looked
to as evidence of their ability for footman's service.—

SINGULAR FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.—Last Thurs-
day night the residence of Dr. Gwynn°, near the Asylum,
in this city (Torcnto), was struck by lightning, entirely
demolishing one chimney, outhouse, and badly shattering
it in the room be:ow. The lightning also visited eight
different apartments, rending the doors and ceiling, papers
and pictures, and particularly a portion of the ceiling
directly over when a young lady was sleeping, strange to
say, without injuring her or anything in the house, ex-
cept a favourite pet dog, which was found dead, lying under
a stovepipe hole, in a room uninjured, except that there
was a small black spot under the dog, where the fluid
seems to have left his body. The largest portion of the
charge seems to have passed into the water tanks, down
the tin spouts, otherwise the building must have been
burned and the family killed. The roof being very wet,
it thus constituted a good conductor ; the house was but
slightly injured. Altogether it was a very narrow escape.

DEATH OF AN OLD SAILOR OF LORD NELSON'S.
—On Thursday last there died at Kirkton Mill, Inver-
keillor, Mr. James Ross, at the great age of 87. Mr. Ross,
who for the last 40 years was ground cffieer on the Panmure
estates, served under Lord Nelson more than 60 years ago.
He was on board his lordship's fl,gship at the battle of
Copenhagen in Eel. He was a hale, pleasant old man, and
well-known in the neighbourhood.—Breel:.in

PESTH, AUG. 21, Evening,
In the last sitting of the Diet, held today, the

Lower House passed by acclamation a motion pro-
posed by M. Deak, calling upon the House, in
case of the dissolution of th

energetic protest against the violation of the Con-
stitution, and the arbitrary acts committed by the
Government.

Baron Vay afterwards entered the room, and was
enthusiastically received.
The Deputies embraced each other before sepa-

rating.
It is generally thought that the dissolution of the
Diet will be the precursor of grave events.
The collection of taxes by military execution
has commenced here.

AUG. 22.

The Upper House of the Hungarian Diet has
concurred in the declaration passed in the Lower
House, on the motion of M. Deak, that the disso-
lution of the Diet is an illegal act.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 21.

The Prince of Servia has merely addressed a
congratulatory letter to the Sultan on his accession
to the Throne, not sending a deputation, as was
expected.
The Porte has resolved upon ditplaying a con-
ciliatory spirit in Servia and the Herzegovina.

La Patric announces the arrival at Paris from
Rome of Monsignor Nardi, on a special mission to
the Emperor from the Pope.
The Frankfort Gazette contradicts a report which
appeared in some of the German papers to the.
effect that Prince Albert, acting i i the name of
Prince Alfred, the heir presumptive to the Duchy
of Coburg-Gotha, had protested against the con-
vention signed by the reigning Duke with the Cabi-
net of Berlin for the incorporation of the military
contingent of the Duchy in the Prussian army.

PARIS, AUG. 21.

The Patrie of this evening says :
" The English squadron still remains at Naples.
It is asserted that the crews of the vessels compos-
ing it continue to go on shore by detachments for
drill.

"News from Beyrout states that the organization
of native tribunals, a measure prepared by Daoud
Pasha, has produced a favourable:effect."
The Patrie also publishes a letter from the Mar-
quis d'Azeglio, complaining of the unexpected pub-
licity given to his letter to Signor Matteucci.
The Marquis d'Azeglio, without disavowing the
sentiments expressed in his letter, says,—" I hope
tl.at the gloomy judgment which 1 gave on the state
of things at Naples may prove unfounded, and that
submquent events may completely contradict it."

TURIN, AUG. 21.

It is reported that the Marquis di Villamarina
has been appointed Governor of Naples, in place of
the Marquis d'Aflitto.
Several officers of the old Bourbon army have
been arrested and conveyed to Genoa, whence they
will be at liberty to proceed to any foreign country.

NAPLES, AUG. 20, EVENING.

General Cialdini, in reply to an address from the
Municipal Council of Naples, recalled the words of
King Victor Emmanuel, who said that he wished
to be King of the whole Italian nation, and not the
King of a party.
The General said—" The King desires that con-
cord should exist among all the factions of the
Liberal party, which all have the same end in view
—viz., the unity of Italy, the maintenance of the
dynasty of Savoy, the deliverance of Venice, and
the obtainment of Rome as the capital of Italy.
All should aid and concur in the pacification of
Naples."

PESTH, AUG. 21.

Field-Marshal Count Haller has arrived in Pesth
with the order for the dissolution of the Hungarian
Diet. He will, in the quality of Royal Commis-
sioner, dissolve the Diet.
The Lower House is now assembled in secret
sitting, in order to discuss their future course of
conduct.

This afternoon a public sitting will probably be
held.

The dissolution of the Diet will take place to-

morrow.

EVENING.

A manifesto will not be issued to the people of
the Austrian Empire, neither will an Imperial
Message be addressed to the Council of the Empire.
The Hungarian Chancellery will address a circular
to the Obergespane, explaining the present position
of affairs.

The New Hungarian Diet is to be convoked
within six months from this time.

Count Apponyi has summoned the members of
the Upper House by telegraph to assemble to-

morrow.
