THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY' EVENING, JULY 17, 1861

equipping, and despatching ,troops to various
points has proceeded with The utmost regularity. In
and around this city is concentrated a force of fully
20,000 men ; while volunteers from the interior are
continually arriving, who are despatched with as
little delay as possible to the seat of war. Not-
withstanding the immense number of soldiers con-
tinually in the streets, and enjoying themselves in
the bars of the hotels, the greatest order prevails.
Indeed, I have not seen anything bordering upon a
riot since my arrival ; and the only precaution
taken by the military authorities is that of obliging
places of refreshment to be closed at 10 o'clock p.m.
All this does not look as if the rebel army intended
to walk out as the Federalists walked in.

These last accounts will, however, lead us to
watch every arrival now with deep solicitude.
Though nothing particular may occur soon, and
General SCOTT may continue to preserve the Fabian
policy, yet there are symptoms that more decisive
action may be at hand. And, where so much
depends on maintaining popular enthusiasm, it
may be necessary to do something to sustain it.
The rumours of proposals of compromise and peace
have quite died away, and there will, to all
appearances, be no settlement now, but one made
sword in hand.

The illustrious and venerable Prince ADAM
CZARTORYSKI is no more. His Highness expired on
Monday at his residence in Paris at the patriarchal
age of 91. In the person of this aged Prince there
has passed away one of the most interesting his-
torical characters of an age now almost obliterated
from living recollection. The span of this pro-
tracted life extended over the chief part of one
entire century. Beginning on the fourteenth of
January, 1770, it has terminated only on the
fifteenth of July, 1861. Between these widely
separated epochs what a multitude of astounding
events had not this exiled Patrician witnessed ! Re-
volution upon revolution. The configuration of the
various countries of Europe fluctuating like the
coloured patterns seen through the tube of a kalei-
doscope. The dire crash at Paris in 1789 when
the throne of the Bourbons fell in a ruin
so overwhelming that it brought down with it the
whole social fabric as well—prostrating in the dust
the altars of GOD together with the shattered frag-
ments of the entire machinery of the political
Government. Crash after crash afterwards like the
reverberations of the same stupendous ruin resound-
ing over Europe, the Polish Exile perceived, in his
time, as the years advanced. He saw as a contempo-
rary and not as an obscure contemporary—for he was
Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs on the death
of PAUL by assassination and the accession of
ALEXANDER—he observed as a contemporary the
whole wonderful career from beginning to end
of that modern C.ESAR, SESOSTRIS, CHARLE-
3IAGNE—the Great NAPOLEON. Born him-
self hardly five months after NAPO-
, LEON—Prince ADAM may literally be said to
have observed the rise of that extraordinary being
to power from its very commencement. Witness-
ing his fall in 1814 to Elba, and in 1815 to St.
Helena. Remembering the first tidings of his
death in 1821—and yet surviving him by as many
as forty years afterwards, in point of fact more than
a complete generation, It was not only that Prince
ADAM CZARTORYSKI witnessed the whole of the
great French Revolution, the whole of the Revolu-
tion, and, together with that, watched the whole
marvellous career of the Child of the Revolution—
this exiled Pole marked the passage likewise of all
the subsequent Revolutions that have con-
vulsed the nations of Christendom, He
witnessed the bouleversen2ent of July in 1830,
and that of February in 1848. He sur-
vived not only to witness the restoration of the
Napoleonian Empire, but to live through nearly one
entire decade of the reign of NAPOLEON 111. But
most memorable to all, to Prince CZARTORYSKI—
he took an active part himself, in his early youth,
in the heroic struggle for the liberation of Poland,
led on by the immortal KOSCIUSKO—and he yet lived
to witness, as a profoundly sympathising spectator,
the triumphant vindication, under the leadership
of GARIBALDI, of the kindred cause of Italian Inde-
pendence.

The personal history of Prince ADAM CZARTO-
RYSKI reads moreover, in a great measure, like a
romance. After the failure of KOSCIUSKO'S
attempt to liberate Poland and the Poles
from the thraldom of the Russian autocracy,
after the final partition and definitive subjugation
of the ancient Polish Kingdom in 1795, he and his
brother were sent as hostages by order of the Em-
press CATHARINE to the new Muscovite capital of
St. Petersburg. There his chivalrous and noble
character appears to have exercised a peculiar fas-
cination over the then Archduke afterwards the
Czar, as BYRON dubbed him " the coxcomb Czar"
ALEXANDER. Their fortunes were thenceforth
knit together for a long while closely by the bonds
of an intimate friendship. Inasmuch that, as
already remarked incidentally, upon the young
Emperor's sudden accession to the throne of his
murdered father, the Polish Prince (his Friend)
became Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs. His
retirement from this difficult and to him
I exquisitely delicate and responsible post only
took place, in fact, subsequently to the sign-
ing, in 1805, of the treaty between England and
Russia—a treaty to which the Polish exile, in
his character as Russian Minister, had to affix
his signature. Withdrawn from office, he was
yet closely connected with the court and staff of the
Czar ALEXANDER—accompanying the Russian
EMPEROR in 1805 through the brief but wonder-
ful campaign of Austerlitz. Subsequently, how-
ever; the friendly alliance that took place between
NAPOLEON and ALEXANDER, consequent upon
their meeting upon the raft at Tilsit, drove Prince
ADAM for awhile altogether from public life. His
return to it taking place in 1812, when the
modern XEuxEs, with an army far more nume-
rous and resplendent than that of XERXES, ad-
vanced upon Russia to meet there at the very climax
Of victory, in the very plenitude of NAPOLEON'S
power—a fate as disastrous and as overwhelming
as that which befel the Persian Conqueror.
Finally, in 1814, Prince CZARTORYS7en,atteirlelaacpcoamri:

in the train of the Allies. The year afterwards,
the year of Waterloo, he was nominated
and installed as a Senator Palatine for the Polish

Kingdom—still existing
its former self. After events are more immediately
within recollection, and need not here consequently
be enumerated. Enough if we recall to mind for
one instant, in passing, the interesting historical fac

,hat upon the occasion of the Polish Revolution o.

1830—Prince ADAII CZARTORYSKI was appointed
President of the Provisional Government. As such
he convened the Diet to meet in that year on the
18th of December—being placed by the nation on

the 30th of the following January at the Head of
the National Government. That glorious daydream
proved alas! to be but a fugitive illusion.

there, cherishing to the last a confident expectation
of Better Times for his Fatherland. When these
happier days shall come, as come they will, for
Poland—among the most devoted of her sons in
her past century of tribulation there will ever be
cherished in the national memory, with sentiments
of affection and admiration, the venerable and
honoured name of his Highness Prince ADAM
CZARTORTSKI.

Why is Austria so afraid of Englishmen—of
recognised Englishmen, such as Mr.
respectable,
DUNLOP—in Hungary. No reasonable account
was ever given of Mr. DUNLOP'S withdrawal from
Pesth. Austria wished it—and 'she said, Lord
JOHN RUSSELL tells us, that " it was not deemed
desirable to give any encouragement to any dis-
affected parties in Hungary," Now, Mr. DUNLOP
had been sent to Pesth by the English Embassy at
Vienna, he was responsible for acting as became a
member of the Embassy to Vienna, and it strikes
us that Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S reply ought to have
been a request for the evidence that Mr. DUNLOP
had taken a part in the political struggles of Hun-
gary with the Austrian Government, which justified
the Austrian demand. Our Government ought to be
kept well informed of what is doing at Pesth ; and
it is surely bette'r that our ambassador at Vienna
should be able to send home authentic intelligence,
received through his responsible servant, than that
he should derive his informat ion from the irrespon-
sible persons, Hungarians and Germans, with whom
he could converse in Vienna.

Mr. DUNCOMBE revived last night the subject
brought to notice by the recal of Mr. DUNLOP in
the form of asking for the appointment of an Eng-
lish Consul at Pesth. Many Englishmen, it seems,
are now resident there. We have also a consider-
able number employed as engineers in steamboats on
the river. The city, too, of Buda-Pesth, for they
stand in the same relation as Southwark and Lon-
don, or Manchester and Salford, contains 300,000
inhabitants, and is increasing every year. While,
therefore, we have consuls at places at which there
is really nothing for them to do, as at Jaffa, Mr.
DUNCOMBE might well say that " why there should
be a consul at Jaffa and not at Pesth he could not
understand." We have consuls in a hundred insig-
nificant places Englishmen care little or nothing
about, but at Buda-Pesth, where, both for com-
mercial and public reasons, they would like to have
one, Lord JOHN RUSSELL "did not think this was
the exact time for appointing one."
Of course not. We all understand why it is
not. Austria would like to keep every Englishman
out of Hungary if she dare. She wants no specta-
tors there to tell the world the real state and sen-
timents of the people. That is the whole case, if
Lord JOHN RUSSELL had dared to tell the true state
of the matter last night. We own, too, that, like
Mr. DUNCOMBE, we are mystified about the
advice said to have been given by our Ambassa-
dor to reject the first Hungarian address, unless
the Diet would recognise him in it as KING.
It seems unaccountable how the story should have
gained such credence in Paris and Turin, too, if, as
Lord JOHN says, there is not a word of truth in it,
We incline to thinking that the mystery is solved
by the distinction of official and personal acts. Our
ambassador, doubtless, has not said " a word"
which Parliament will find in a Blue-book if it
asks for one ; but we can all understand how our
Government could use willing instruments to com-
municate its own wishes informally; and how an
ambassador who knew his master's mind could do
it without committing himself or them. Diplomacy
in certain cases is like bribery—that is, when it
is the interest of all parties that none should blab

true: The omission of paintings altogether from
the scheme of 1851 led, a few years afterwards,
to the magnificent Exhibition of Pictures at Man-
chester. There is yet another hiatus still left in
the outline of the new enterprise—of this enlarged
enterprise for 1862—the project of an International
Exhibition, comprising within its walls the crown-
ing glory of a noble picture•gallery. There is yet
one conspicuous omission remaining still—
but even that omission is to be made good
by an independent effort which we are glad to
know has been already commenced: There is a
project in fact now afoot for securing " a display
of music" during the period of the approaching
Exhibition by means of an International Concert
Room to be erected forthwith to this end at
Kensington. The visitors to the Exhibition of
1862 will thereby have adequately brought
before them another of the Fine Arts hitherto over-
looked, save as a merely occasional accessory to
some of the ceremonials connected with the inau-
guration or the close of these same microcosmic
Exhibitions. Let this projected Internationl Concert
Room be but erected, as it is now actually proposed
it shall be, at Kensington, and the public will be
enabled for the first time to judge more vividly
than ever as to the difference observable among
the various contrasting styles of English and Con-
tinental music. The Concert Room which is
thus about to be constructed according to the
plans of its projectors will afford accommodation to
an audience amounting to no less than 12,000, as well
as comprising within it an orchestra of 500 perfor-
We very heartily wish success to the

THE REPRESENTATION OF LONDON.—Yesterday
the political parties on both sides were engaged in active
preparation for the coming election of a member for the City
of London, in anticipation of Lord John Russell being
summoned to the House of Peers, though down to last
evening Lord John had issued no valedictory address to
the constituency. In the course of the afternoon a number
of influential electors, chiefly Conservatives, held a meeting
at the London Tavern, with the view to concert measures
for the return of the Lord Mayor, in the mint of the right
hon. gentleman allowing himself to be put in nomination.
The meeting was presided over by Mr Hubbard, M.P., and
among the gentlemen present were—Mr. Thomas Baring,
M.P., Mr. R. N. Fowler (the banker), Mr. Osgood Han-
bury (banker), Mr. Alderman Rose, Mr. Coleridge Ken-
nard, Mr. Hrrtridge, and several other merchants and
bankers. Before separating a requisition was prepared and
signed by the gentlemen present, and by many more sub-
sequently. So far no gentleman has been put forward by
the Liberal party, nor has any one presented himself. The
subject, however, is under consideration by them.

the year 1841 were rendered compulsory at Liverpool by
Act of Parliament, and which are said to have caused that
town, formerly one of the most dangerous, to become one of

kingdom, and the companies assert that according to the
experience of a leading office during the past eleven years,
while the average of premiums on dock and warehouse

been 12s. Bd. per cent. The new tariff includes a scale of
charges for floating policies, limited to two but not exceed-
