LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 30, 1861.

If the Emperor of AUSTRIA will gowrong, it will
not be for want of warnings. M. KOSSUTH'S
opinions he may well be expected to overlook ; the
patriot and the despot are naturally sworn enemies ;
and the opinions, first that FRANCIS JOSEPH being
a Hapsburg must inevitably be an oath-breaker not
to be relied on ; next that were he an ALFRED
Hungary could not have him for her King while
he was Emperor of AUSTRIA, are opinions which
his Majesty is certainly never likely to accept.
The first is, however, certainly true, the
second is in conflict with the experience of other
countries ; with that of our own in bygone days,
and that of Norway and Sweden at the present
moment. The conflict of the two incompatible sec-
tions of the American Union is what tends as
much support to the truth of M. KOSSUTH'S view
as anything. Still Hungary has got on for cen-
turies with a Hapsburg dynasty, and if it could but
obtain the requisite safeguards might do so again.
But whether the EMPEROR will listen to M.
KOSSUTH or not, he is bound not to spurn the advice
of the Hungarian Stadtholderath. Its members do
not reject his authority, or repudiate the personal
Union, or desire to break up the Empire ; they are
loyal ; but demand as loyal men that their sove-
reign shall be loyal too; they point out to him that
loyalty is his strength ; they ask him to their
capital, the capital of the country of which he
desires to be King. They are willing to pay him
the customary homage ; they offer him a kingdom,
but a kingdom as it is, with all its defects and all
its merits; he is welcome to what many of the am-
bitious ones of Europe would jump at,—the peace-
ful possession of a noble constitutional kingdom,
but then it must be governed constitutionally; on
any other terms, it would be a trouble and a curse
to any. The Emperor is now, therefore, offered an
excellent opportunity of retracing his steps if he
see fit to do so.

That nothing might be wanting to give effect to
the appeal of the Board, the Cardinal Primate of
Gran, who was absent when the resolutions were
voted, has publicly indicated his concurrence with
the rest ; and not only that, but has refused, as Lord
Lieutenant of the county, to give effect to the Im-
perial orders for the levy of troops. The aged
primate appears to be a thorough Hungarian
patriot, and acts with all the rest of his country-
' men—Lutherans and Calvinists, as well as
Catholics. In fact, the more we look at it,
the more it becomes evident that the resistance of
the Hungarians is as conservative, as it is patriotic
and liberal. It is liberal only in the sense that it
is for constitutional selLgovernment, such as our
most stanch Tories here would assert under the
same circumstances, at the hazard of their lives.
But it is conservative as distinguished from demo-
cracy, and as the conservation of the rights of all
classes, nobles as well as peasants.
What the meaning of the last announcement is—
that Austria had appointed an Hungarian Adminis-
tration which should carry out the intentions of
Government, though without martial law—we are
not quite sure. We suspect it will prove to be a
foreign (German) Administration, with, possibly,
some Germanised Hungarians in it, who will

if practicable, supersede all the present Hungarian
functionaries, and endeavour to fill their places
with partisans of the Vienna Government. There,
they think, that Hungarians may be found who
will act on German views; but the informants
on whose opinion we are most disposed to
rely, believe this to be utterly imprac-

- -
ticable. They all join in assuring ns, that

no Hungarian with a character to keep

could so lower himself in the estimation of his

countrymen, as to take office under an enemy in the

very crisis of her struggle. The fifty-two counties,
with their separate little municipal parliaments, are,

in the eyes of Viennese statesmen, so many hot-beds

of sedition. Their desire is to extinguish them if
they can ; but this being not easy in a country

governed thus locally from time immemorial, their
scheme is to take the appointment of the lecal

officials out of their hands, and to fill the posts
with creatures of Austria. We have little doubt
that this treasonable device will prove, if it be
attemped to carry it out, the ruin of its authors. A
whole people are not to be tricked out of their rights
by a few. It seems, however, that the Austrians
stick at no illegality ; that they are thorough re-
volutionists; but that they are likely to shipwreck
themselves on the immoveable endurance of a large
nation. Already the EMPEROR and his advisers
begin to look very silly ; for the longer they hold
out, the more all Europe sees that the Hungarians
are right and the EMPEROR wrong. lie cannot
long maintain such a position.

Practical joking is one of the greatest disgraces
of civilised society, and it was a subject of great
satisfaction to all reflective persons when the Duke
of CAMBRIDGE so effectually put it down with a
strong hand in the army some years ago. On the

regretted that this laudable endeavour has not
been emulated by others in authority, so that
before long, throughout the length and Lo!eadth of the
land, there may be a summary stoppage put to such
outrages on public taste, and such offimces against
propriety and general order. Then those whom
education and proper feeling cannot restrain from
misconducting themselves would be compelled by
the law to be more circumspect, and thus gradually
from one motive or another the stigma would
be removed that now seems indelibly fixed in our
society. At a recent case that appeared before
the magistrates at Nottingham the ends of justice
were not met by the decision arrived at by those
assembled in conclave. These worthy gentlemen
should have borne in mind the maxim—"Judex
damnatur cum nocens absolvitur" before they
allowed a small fine to be sufficient penalty for
such outrageous conduct as that of which the
defendants were convicted. Nothing could excuse
or justify their behaviour, and those who sit in
judgment on such offenders should inflict the
severest penalty of the law, or, as in this
instance, have followed the suggestions of the
complainant's legal adviser, and sent the case for
trial at the sessions. The facts appeared before the
public on Saturday, and, doubtless, created just
indignation in many quarters. The unfortunate
complainant, Mr. BROOKE, had accepted, in an evil
hour, an invitation to dinner from an acquaintance ;
after the meal was concluded, the host absented
himself for some time. During this interval the
two other guests commenced a series of absurdities,
ending with absolute assaults on the unhappy Mr.
BROOKE. The complainant stated among
other things in his evidence the follow-
ing startling facts, which would have been
conclusive evidence with most men concerning the
enormity of the defendant's conduct, " Shortly after
dinner the defendant BURTON left the room and
was absent a considerable time, while he was away
BLACKWELL and BURROWS asked complainant if he
could count the pictures on the wall blindfolded, to
which he replied that he could not, nor had he
come for that purpose. The two defendants then
commenced sparring round the room, until they
reached his chair, and then fell on to him. He was
then dragged into the hall and thence on the lawn.
Here they commenced the most revolting indecencies
against the complainant. They afterwards pulled
him violently about, tearing his clothes
into shreds. BURROWS threw a pot of har-
ness-blacking on to him, blacked his face, and
then poured a quantity of treacle upon him, and
ultimately covered him with flour. Some liquid
had been previously thrown into his face which
caused him very great pain, and for a time
blinded him. Mr. BURTON came home whilst
defendants were assaulting him and stood by
laughing. After a severe struggle, in which com-
plainant smashed a very costly set of China, he got
away, but the injuries he received were so severe
that he was confined to his bed for two days
in consequence." Notwithstanding all this the
absurdly small penalty of five pounds was inflicted
on each defendant who stood convicted of such cul-
pable conduct, such unmanly outrages. It is
earnestly to be hoped that in future, when like
miscreants are arraigned before any court in the
kingdom, that the majesty of the law of England
will be vindicated, and that fitting retribution w

visit all similar offenders. Thus only can we expect
that these practices will be for ever put down, and
that, by public reprobation expressed in the
strongest terms, the utmost penalty of the
law may be exacted, and thus disgrace may
deter those whom propriety cannot restrain from
improper conduct. The more stringent the measures
the sooner the cure, and the more lasting and
effectual the remedy; and it behoves gentlemen in
high position to do all they can tostay this glaring
evil that seems to gain ground among so many
classes of the community.

A very curious affair took place on Saturday last
at the General Post-office which verifies the old
adage about accidents occurring in the best regu-
lated establishments, and also calls somewhat im-
peratively for an explanation. This, we understand,
it is likely to receive, as an investigation into the
circumstances took place yesterday. It would seem,
from the received account of the matter, that 500
bankers' 'parcels arrived at the General Post-office
on Saturday morning last, in the ordinary course,
which ought naturally to have been forwarded to
the several parties to whom they were addresed by
the first delivery. They did not, however, reach
their destinations until a late hour in the afternoon,
long after business hours. On the arrival of the
mails on that morning the whole of the correspon-
dence was, as usual, placed in baskets to be
sent round to tl e stampers and sorters, pre-
liminary to their being entrusted to the letter
carriers. From some unexplained cause two
of these baskets containing the bankers' parcels
whose enclosure of notes and bills might be valued
at hundreds of thousands, were pushed under " the
road" where the letters were eorted, and there, it is
said, were forgotten. It is somewhat curious that
this, by far the most valuable and important, branch
of the correspondence should be so entirely over-
looked; and that no surprise was felt among the
sorters at the non-arrival of the customary packets.
However, the mistake was not discovered; no in-
spector or overloooker, whose duty it is to search for
the smallest letter or parcel, lighted upon
these two capacious baskets bearing the hopes and
expectations, in some instances, possibly the
solvency, of anxiously - waiting men of busi-
ness. When the red-coated messenger had
distributed his various charges, minus the missing
parcels, inquiries began to be made by bankers,
merchants, and even the authorities of the Bank of
England, whose five absent parcels excite, however,
less sympathy than those of their fellow sufferers.
The answer received at the Post-office was unsatis-
factory. The whole of the letters and parcels
which had arrived, it was said, had been
sent out for delivery. Recourse was imme-
diately had to the assistance of the tele-
graph, and before long the electric wires were
flashing the same anxious inquiry to all parts of
the kingdom, only, however, to make that darker
which was dark enough before. Very soon the
magic messenger brought back the intelligence
that all the missing parcels had been forwarded
in the ordinary way. The consternation in the
city may be easily imagined when the nature of
the remittances are considered, and the immense
sums which change hands in the metropolis in
the course of one day. In all directions means
were employed to trace the absent missives, but
without avail. Meanwhile the authorities at St.
