(From the Gazette of last evening)

At a Court at Buckingham Palace, the 4th day of
February, 1861, present, the Queen's most excellent Ma-
jesty in Council. Whereas her Majesty was graciously
pleased, by her Royal Proclamation, bearing date the 30th
day of April, 1859, to promise and declare that the bounties
of ten pounds for every able seaman, and five pounds for
every ordinary stamen, fit for her Majesty's service,
should be paid, in the manner .thereby directed, to every
such able and ordinary seaman, not above the age of 45,
nor under the age of 20 years, who should on or before the
15th day of June then following, enter themselves to serve
in her Majesty's Royal Navy, either with the 'captains or
lieutenants of her Majesty's ships, or officers employed in
tenders, or at rendezvous on shore for raising men for
the service of the Royal Navy; and whereas her Majesty
was also graciously pleased by her said proclamation,
to declare that all able-bodied landsmen, not above the age
of 25, nor under the age of 20 years, who should so enter
themselves as aforesaid, should receive the sum of 40s. each
man as her Majesty's Royal Bounty;
And whereas the time limited for payment of the said
Bounties, so far as they relate to able seamen and ordinary
seamen, was, by Order in Council of the 11th day of Auto,
1859, prolonged and extended from the said 15th day of
June to the 31st day of July, 1859; and whereas by certain
other Orders in Council the said bounties to able and ordi-
nary seamen were reduced to £8 and £4, to £6 and £3 and
lastly to £4 and £2, respectively, and the time limited for
the payment of the said last-mentioned bounties was on
the 26th March, 1860, prolonged and extended from the
Ist April, 1860, to the 31st March, 1861; and it being
judged expedient for her Majesty's Service that Bounties

the Ist day of April next to the 31st day of March, 1862,
inclusive ; whereof all persons concerned are to take notice
and govern themselves accordingly.

ARTHUR HELPS.

ATTEMPTED ►SUICIDE DURING THE ROYAL
PROCBSSION.—As her Majesty the Queen was yesterday
proceeding to open Parliament, and just as the Royal
cortege reached Derby-street, a small street leading from
Parliament-street into Cannon-row, a person, in Asiatic
costume, was seen to break through the crowd and attempt
to thrust a paper into the carriage in which her Majesty
was seated. He was, however, immediately prevented.
Indeed, the Prince Consort himself, apprehensive of some
maniac violence, pushed back the hand of the intruder. The
man, baffled in his effort to force himself upon Royalty,
immediately pulled out a claspknife and drew it three times
across his throat. • Arrested by the police, he was at once
conveyed to King-street police station, where he promptly
received the necessary surgical attention. The man's
name is Mahomet Ali Khan. He is about 40 years of age,
and is a native of Calcutta. He is under the impression
that he has suffered some wrongs from the hands of Govern-
ment, and states that it was his intention to place a peti-
tion in reference to his case before the Queen. He is
evidently a lunatics

The following is the letter of the Prince Primate
of Hungary to the Comitats :
Honourable Comitats I Estimable patriots I To contri-
bute to the happiness of our dear country, to secure its
prosperity, such has ever been the chief aim of my life.
Therefore I desire nothing more strongly than to see re-
established the advantages of the constitutional exist-
ence enjoyed by us and our fathers during a series of
years under crowned princes. The Almighty, who rules
times and epochs, who destroys empires and founds them
anew, has blessed my efforts, and thus it "happens that his
Majesty, following his former inclinations, accedes to the
deOres of the nation, and has restored to the country its
constitutional existence. In virtue of the supreme resolu-
tion, the comitats were organised ; provinces violently,
separated from the territory of the country have been re-
stored to it ; the language of the public decrees and of
education is the Hungarian language ; and with satisfac-
tion we learn that the Diet and the Government of our
august Sovereign .are to be expected as indubitable facts.
We now possess the germ of the constitutional life; the
good intentions and the promia3 of our lord and sovereign
are the guarantee that we shall also witness the fructifica-
tion of the germ..

I bless the Almighty, who has permitted me to see the
morning of the day of the resurrection of my country, and
has enabled me to exclaim with the nation, " The country
hes risen from the dead I let as return thanks to the Al-
mighty." But I experience very grave anxiety in learning
that the construction of the new edifice is not in some
points conducted with that prikenee, that patience, which
the importance alld difficulty inherent to the matter require,
and.which are the necessary conditions 'of a happy solu-
tion. Dear patriots I—Your ardent love for the safety of
the country tranquillises me, and makes me hope that you
will not badly construe it if one of your brothers who has
reached the evening of life, and, anxious on the subject of
his country's prosperity, addresses to you some words of
counsel.

For so great a work as the regulation of our country's
affairs, great preparations are necessary, in order that all
may be executed with fitting circumspection, and that the
edifice which we desire to see arise, magnificent and im-
pregnable, may be placed upon a sure and solid basis. It
is especially in the execution of a work of such grandeur
and of such extensive bearings, that precipitation ought to
be avoided. We should shun all premature steps—acts
contrary to the written decree—steps which, besides being
an obstacle to the development of affairs, produce, instead
of order, the anarchy which God wishes to spare the coua-
'try so often tried, and provoke measures of order on the
part of the authorities. If, with amanly perseverance, we
have suffered, our eyes turned the Most High, only
nourishing in our hearts a wish to see the Sovereign ten-
der us his hand in sign of reconciliation as he has now ten-
dered it, let us at least have some months of patience until
our affairs receive from the Diet a solution in a permanent
form, with the co• operation of all, and so not alienate, a
Sovereign animated by the purest s3ntiments, and who ap-
proaches us with the olive branch in his hand.
The country finds itself now, as it has done at many
other periods, in a situation of difficulty. Dear friends of
the country, permit me in my sincerity to tell you that
your patriotism will be of very slight value, if just at this
moment you withdraw the aid material to the Prince and
the country ; if just at this moment you refuse the pay-
ment of taxes, the necessity for which, moreover, is so press-
ing in our own interest. I hope you will understand me if,
in virtue of my position in the country, and following the
example of my ancestors, I now intercede between the So-
vereign and the nation. May these words full of tonfidence,
testify my high esteem for you, my fraternal love, and the
hopes which I entertain of your patriotism.
May the blessing of God descend upon the Prince and
upon the country.
JEAN SEITO/MSKY, Cardinal and Prince Pri-
mate of Hungary.
