ter at Turin, and our Foreign Secretary did all in
their power to facilitate the escape of PASSAGLIA
from the papal bloodhounds. The POPE may in-
deed be very thankful to them. They saved him
from a great crime, or a great embarrassment, by
helping the noble father off his hands. After some
difficulties with the telegraph, the Consul, Mr.
SEVERN, received from Earl RUSSELL explicit in-
structions to do everything in his power in behalf
of Father PASSAGLIA—if necessary, to remove him
from persecution, he was even to grant him a pass.
port, as if to a British subject. As the message came
by telegraph, of course the Perugian Cardinal heard
its contents, and doubtless uttered some respectable
anathemas against the English foreign office. How
strange, however, that the French were not appealed
to. General GuroN could surely have scarcely
tolerated any violence towards PASSAGLIA.

The Hegira of Father PASSAGLIA, as a correspon-
dent terms it, was, as might be expected, a
triumphant one. The Italian frontier was, in one
direction, but 22 miles distant—at the Passo di
Correse he crossed the Bridge—was safe from the
machinations of Pope and Cardinal, and rejoiced
in the sure protection of VICTOR EnimANTTEL. The
news of his arrival reached the first town before
him like wildfire, and speedily congratulatory
visits poured in upon him, and, of course, he was
serenaded in an Italian town in the evening.
To town after town he was conveyed with all kinds
of festive demonstrations—and he could not hasten
his journey to Florence, on account of the hospita-
lities and enthusiasm of the people at every place.
And the people were right. It was a triumph for
Italy—to see the reconciliation of her religion, for
Italy is seriously Catholic, though less Papal than
tiansmontane Catholic eountries,—it was a triumph
to see their religion, reconciled with learning, with
liberty, and with their political rights in the
person of one of her first theologians,—one
whom the Pope himself would patronise till
he gave him honest and sound advice.
Popes, however, it seems, are made of much the
same stuff as other potentates ; and, like the Jewish
model despot faithfully warned by his prophet, can
.herish the feeling, " I hate him, for he never pro-
phesied good unto me, but always evil." Lucky
for the worthy father that the AHAB of Rome is
not in a position to say—" Put this fellow in the
prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and
water of affliction," until I reign at Rome in peace.

An important telegram comes to• day from Pesth.
The Hungarian Chancery, which must be a body
of able, learned, and probably Conservative men,
have resolved to give the foolish EMPEROR and
his centralising Germans another chance. The
members composing it have united in an Address
requesting his MA/MY to come to Buda; to with-
draw himself from the influence of the foreign
advisers •who surround him ; to assemble
the Obergespanne, or lord lieutenants of the
Comitats ; to declare to them that he
is resolved to 'govern in conformity with
the Hungarian Constitution ; and to appoint an
Archduke as Governor—Palatine, we suppose,—of
Hungary. If he would do these things, the mem-
bers of the Council of the Hungarian Chancery
assure the EMPEROR, that "the country would
place confidence in his Majesty, and would hasten
to render him homage."

What authority the Chancery has thus to speak

for the country we do not know ; but it is highly 1
probable that it represents that large number of
the respectable class which in all countries dislike
public agitation, and desire social and political
quiet. No mention is made of guarantees ; yet it
can hardly be supposed that any party in Hungary
.ould trust the promise of a Hapsburg. The one
clause, however, of governing in conformity
with the Constitution of Hungary, includes all
the points now in dispute, and the promise to do

that could be fulfilled at once. The first step would

be to march every German, or other non-Hungarian
soldier, out of Hungary immediately; no condition
of the constitution being clearer than this. The next
would be to convene the Diet again in legal form
immediately, and to get the taxes legally laid or
ratified by it; a third would be to name an early
day for the Coronation, and to take the oath to the
legal documents resulting from the Pragmatic
Sanction, on which rests his throne. Then,
as we understand it, the nomination of a
Palatine, involves a separate Hungarian Ministry,
a responsible one, and all the consequences flowing
from it. Probably, therefore, when we see the
entire document, we shall find that nothing of
Hungarian right is conceded, but that the national
demands are presented as much as possible in the
shape of an Olive Branch.
It is, we suppose, hardly to be doubted what kind
of an answer such a document will receive from
Vienna, if any answer be vouchsafed to it at all.
The " Foreign Advisers " will give his MAJESTY
counsel that Hungary is best.gove rned by foreigners
like themselves ; and as the young combination of
weakness and despotism is counselled by them in
accordance with his paternal despotic nature, the
Chancery will no doubt be deajt with on the same
principles as the Diet was—namely, either do and
say as we wish, or hold your tongues. That being
the soul of the ROEBUCK Austrian Constitution.

It may be worth while, both :for the " Foreign
Advisers," the Emperor of AUSTRIA, and their
Sheffield patron, to ponder a little over the letter
from M. KOSSUTH, which we published a few days
ago. They may possibly scorn it, but it unques-
tionably takes a very able view of the Austrian,
Hungarian, and Italian question in their rela-
tion to each other, to Europe, and to Germany.
Austria ought not, it is argued, to be preserved as
an empire at all. Austria proper is a part of Ger-
many; let that go as an Archduchy to complete
German unity. The only objection to this is, that
there is no head for Germany. The King of PRUSSIA
has proved himself to the last utterly unfit; a
lover of medieval Divine Right in the 19th
century. But KOSSUTH maintains that the Italian
and Hungarian cause are one. That Austria must
be attacked simultaneously on the Danube and on
the Po—that so only can Hungarian liberties and

Italian liberties be secured, and each come oat as
an independent nation. These are not the views
of one dreamer only, GARIBALDI, and many of the
ablest Hungarians and Statesmen share them with
KOSSUTH, and the EMPEROR would do well to learn,
even from an enemy. We fear there is no reason to
hope that the advice of the Hungarian Chancery has
been prompted from Vienna, to afford it a pretext for
concession; and that it will be rejected as all
" petitions of right " have been in Hungary.
Ussuni will be pleased that it should. Meantime
we -would earnestly remind Earl RUSSELL, that
the English people are expecting of him a course
in regard to Hungary, worthy of his Italian diplo-
macy ; and that it is time for him to be able to
show that he has manfully told Vl*" nna that Hun-
garian rights must no longer be played 'with.

It is ', curious fact that while Englaid is the 1
nursery of improvement and science, prejudice and
monopoly exert more influence on her shores than
in any other country in Europe. The people are
naturally intelligent and clever, and ex-
press their opinions of the doings of
their continentol neighbours freely enough.

But let anybody • infringe a vested interest, and
all who are interested, and many whom it does not
concern, are up in arms to put down innovation.
We may laugh at or condemn continental prac-
tices and the tyrannical exercise of power by cer-
tain despots, but nothing comes up to the arro-
gance of class monopoly.
An enterprising American has lately introduced
into this country a system of tramway calculated to
supersede the present inconvenient and uncertain
omnibus traffic ; the conveyances are large and
commodious, and the general arrangement good,
but a factious opposition has been set up by omni-
bus proprietors, and their influence over the weak-
minded or interested vestrymen of Paddington has
induced that intelligent body to order the
tramway laid down between the Marble
Arch and Notting-hill-gate to be taken ap,
thus restoring monopoly to the Bayswater omni-
buses, which can travel at their own pace
and time, in defiance of public opinion and com-
fort. But if monopoly has , gained the day in
the northern part of the metropolis, we are
happy to see that the vestrymen of Lam-
beth have indicated their right to act as
an independent local government, and as a cor-
porate body to regulate the arrangement of the
thoroughfares under their control independent of
class dictation. Our readers are aware that a
grand jury brought in a true bill against Mr.
TRAIN and certain vestrymen for obstructing the
highway between Westminster-bridge and Ken-
nington-park. Last night, at a meeting held at
the Horns Tavern, Kennington, Mr. F. DOULTON
moved the following bold and decided resolution :
" That inasmuch as the tramway from Remington-park
to Westminster-bridge was constructed in accordance with
the resolution of this vestry passed on the 17th
Jannary, 1861, and in virtue of an agreement with Mr.
Train, dated 28th February, 1861, to which agreement
the seal of this vestry has been affixed, and by
the 42d section of the Metropolis Local Manage-
ment Act this vestry has been constituted a corporation,
with a common seal, to sue and be sued, this vestry re-
solves to take all measures necessary for vindicating their
rights, and the indemnification and protection of the sur-
veyor, and those individual persons who have been made
defendants in the indictment now pending for an act done
by the vestry in its corporate capacity."

The motion was carried with only two dissen-
tients. The ratepayers of Paddington, if they
have any regard for their own character as in-
dependent citizens; if they are not content to be
led and governed by a set of interested monopo-
lists, would do well to call their vestry to
account, or, better still, to elect competent, trust-
worthy representatives to conduct the affairs of the
parish ; men who are not influenced by class inte-
rest, but who endeavour concientiously to discharge
their duty to the public. The bold and fearless de-
monstration of the men of Lambeth stands out in fine
relief against the truckling conduct of their northern
neighbours. When Sir R. PEEL introduced Free-
trade the farmers were to be ruined; when railways
were proposed, the value of horseflesh was to deterio-
rate, and dog's•meat to become cheap. The results
have been the contrary of the prognostications. So
with the street tramways, despite the opposition of
a party; regularity and expedition, combined with
cheapness, roomy carriages, and attentive servants,
will eventually render Mr. TRAIN'S tramways, as
they deserve to be, universally popular.
