THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 1, 1861.

What will the English counsel for Austria say
now. She has let them down much as she did
lords DERBY and MALMESBURY respecting the
Italian war. They had hoped better things of her
Nam they found that she had broken the peace, and
e::mmenced the conflict without giving them even
t graphic warning; Lord DERBY was not the
rian to "eat his words," so he took the first oppor-
t-tnity to rate, pretty soundly, the Government
wcich had induced him to utter them. Perhaps
M.'. ROEBUCK will follow Lord DERBY when he
reals to-day's telegrams; he has had reason enough
in:.'eecl to recant already, but the last act of
Scti MERLING despotism, in the cause of centralisa-
t:,- n will surely make the blood of JOHN ARTHUR
.)EBUCK, and even of Mr. LEVER, boil with
! C. ir, nation.
ti he Diet has been dismissed, not for lany act of
violence, but for quiet firmness to its first rights
and duties; the Comitats or County Municipalities,

the decentralised assemblies, who conduct the

greater part of Hungarian business, and have been
Ai lc municipalities generally, the soul of liberty in
tie country, have expressed their cordial sympathy

with the Diet. The highest ecclesiastical digni-
taiy in the country has, though standing on the
verge of the grave, clone the same ; all classes
mite; yet the punishment is the suppression of
the Comitats by military force! • Pesth, on account
of its greater importance, is amongst the first dealt
with. We were told yesterday that " the building
in which the sittings of the Comitat of Pesth are
hell was occupied. last night by the military, and
t!-.0 members were prevented from assembling by
force. A Lieutenant, with his sword drawn, for-
bade the deputies to enter the building."
That Lieutenant, threatening to sabre any of the
peopit's representatives who attempted to perform
their legal duty, was the direct representative of
Baron SCIIMERLING, the Germans of Vienna, and
the HAPsuußG—not too imbecile to be a despot—
who for the hour occupies the throne. The lieu-
tenant, with the sword in his hand, stood at the
door of the county hall, in defiance of law, by
order of Baron BeIimERLING. That sword is the
Baron's law, constitution, and administration.
The political quack had devised his paper consti-
tution for the good, as he alleges, of all the na-
tionalities under his master's crown.. Theyrefuse
to accept it, at least some three fourthsofthem
de, and chiefly the noble old kingdom of Hungary
refa:es to be drugged to death, and to
ae.
cept a kind of Brahmin beatification by fib..
sorotion into the essence of SCHMERLING'S
BrAITIVIA, tho Austrian Empire. Hungary thinks
separate life and conscious national existence a
happier state than becoming a part of one great
German God, actuated by one will. Absorption
seems to the enlightened old country nest door to
annihilation, and rightly seems sp.
if one thing can be more in tolerable than another,
it is the sight of one mediocre German, like
PPT,I NG, aided of coursa by RUM-310,0, and
stupid Sovereign, setting himself up as
thud

tor who by his paper decrees is to subvert
a kingdom of a thousand years old, and to resist the
will of 11,000,000 of people whom he pretends to
govern , constitutionally. Like the Southern
traitors in America,
he, or the Austrian
Government, have Prepared for the present
outrage by disarming the Hungarians. SCHMER-
(-4°r: LielAtenant might safo.7 stand at the door

of the hall, ready to cut down the first man in
Pesth, for his employer had taken care that no
means of resistance should be left to the Hungarians.
What the result will be of such treachery, des-
potism, and violence, no one can foresee. The Hun-
garians will probably have the firmness to bear all,
to put their adversaries completely in the wrong, to
let them go on, offering all possible passive resist-
ance, and leaving M. Sum ERLING to find out that
one man, with a German nostrum, is not a match for
eleven millions of a united people, even without
arms in their hands. At the same time a bloody
insurrection is by no means impossible. The
Austrian soldiers are the most odious in
Europe to the countries which they are
told to grind into submission, and their
officers frequently about the most cruel, unofficer-
like savages on earth, without a spark of the
nobler sentiments; officer and soldiers together
would like to provoke an insurrection, that they
might satiate themselves with the blood of freemen.

IBut the Austrian policy fails throughout. Venetia
is, of course, not to be gained. Transylvania she
has not yet been able to square to her objects; but
Croatia, with the territories belonging to it, seems
likely to be as firm as Hungary. Croatia, like
Hungary, freely chose the HAPSBURG dynasty—
freely made it hereditary, and freely joined in the
Pragmatic Sanction in 1712, when CHARLES TM
obtained on behllf of his daughter, MARIA THERESA,
from the Diet at Agram, the contraci
by which the Diet gave up election of their
monarchs and admitted the female line on their part;
the monarch, on his part, engaging by a solemn
act and deed to govern in a word legally, and there-
fore to respect all their liberties and franchises of
every kind. The Diet at Agram has now adopted
an address as like the Hungarian one of M. DEAR
as possible, and thus resolved to take the same
course. What the Vienna Government will do with
more than half the Empire thus in legal
and declared opposition, it is not easy to see. They
may occupy and garrison the countries, but to occupy
is not to govern, and when the hour of attack comes
again, the whole empire will be shaken, perhaps
broken up entirely. This we could not regret.
Hungary would be a nucleus, round which the
free-minded Austrian States in the East would
gather, and one free kingdom of Hungary would
be ample compensation for the ruin of twenty
Austrias.

It is satisfactory to perceive at last some evidence
of disinclination on the part of the Irish to be left any
longer entirely out of the influence of the Volunteer
movement. While that patriotic rising and arm-
ing of the people in England and Scotland, we
have seen, advanced upon this side of St. George's
Channel so rapidly and steadily that, within a
couple of years, the defences of the country have
been enhanced by the addition to the army and navy
of 170,000 Riflemen—in Ireland nothing whatever
has been done to further the good cause by swelling
the ranks of those Riflemen. Remembering this
somewhat painful fact, and remembering at the
same time theloyal enthusiasm very recently mani,-
fested by the Irish multitude upon the occasion of
her MAJESTY'S visit to that advanced and improv-
ing portion of her dominions, it is but reasonable-
to find the Celtic race, at length—however tardily
—in genuine earnest awakening from its
prolonged apathy in this matter. There
are beginning to be visible and audible
amongst the people of Ireland a profound reluc-
tance, a reluctance very comprehensible under the
circumstances, to be left altogether behind in
this onward movement on the part of their Eng-
lish and Scotch compatriots. The fact that it has
been thus hitherto reflects, it cannot but be felt,
very invidiously upon the Irish multitude at large.
It is a slur upon the loyalty and patriotism
of Ireland, that up to this moment no
rifle corps have been organised there at all—
whereas, in Great Britain, the difficulty is to find
any locality whatever in which a rifle corps, large
or small, has not been organised. Here, amongst
ourselves, it is not extravagant to say that the rifle
has become the national weapon as completely as
the long yew-bow and the cloth-yard shaft were
wont to be centuries ago in the hands of
our remote progenitors in the days, let us say, of
ROBIN HOOD and his merry foresters in Lincoln
green. Again the butt has come to be raised here
in every township, in almost every village, hamlet,
and hundred in the United Kingdoms of England
and Scotland, for the practice of the hands and'
eyes of "goods shots," not, it is true, of our bold
archers, but, better still, of our skilled riflemen !
And while so much zeal has in this way been mani-
fested by her MAJESTY'S lieges from Land's End to
John o'Groat's—ti e utmost apparent indifference
has been displayed by her MAJESTY'S other lieges
from Malin Head to Cape Clear ! As if the cause
of England and of Scotland were nat also
in every particular the cause of Ireland !
The time has happily come at length,
however, let us hope, when a distinction so invidi-
ous must be obliterated, and when the Irish must
take their place among the English and Scottish
Riflemen.

The spirit-stirring address recently delivered by
the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH down in his own
county of Gloucestershire, would seem (though in
no way addressed to themselves) to have, in a great
measure, tended to rouse the people of Ireland to
a sense of their own culpable apathy, in not hav-
ing long ago insisted upon being allowed to parti-

cipate in the Volunteer Movement. Reported through
the columns of the public journals, that earnest
oration addressed by the eloquent lips of Lord
ELLENBOROUGII to the Riflemen of Gloucestershire
—upon the occasion of the banquet given at the
county town to the Lord Lieutenant of the shire,
the Earl of DIXIE, "in recognition of his efforts
in the promotion of the National Rifle-

Corps movement"—that impressive speech addressed
to the Volunteers of Gloucestershire by the Earl of
ELLENBOROUGH, echoed as it has since been
through the Whispering Gallery of the Press

across St. George's Channel, has awakened some

of the ardent spirits, at least in Ireland, to " a

sense of their situation." Nor can this be wondered
at under the circumstances. Words like those re-

cently uttered by Lord ELLENBOROUGH :oust come

rather poignantly home to every really loyal and
patriotic Irishman—knowing well, as the latter
does, while ho is listening to them, or reading Them,
that Ireland, as yet, has had nothing whatever to
do, directly or indirectly, with the Volunteer move-
ment. Conscious of his own country's isolation—of
her painful isolation thus in the midst of the
general rising and training of the population
elsewhere throughout these islands of the
British Arci,iplago the Irish loyaEst and
patriot must perforce note rather shamefacedly
burning words like these dropped from the lips of
the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH :—" I rejoice in the
existence of this force, and I rejoice also in the re-
vival of that ancient spirit which prevailed in distant

times throughout this country." It must be some-

what distressing fur the county gentlemen of Ire-

land, again, for example, to feel that they have no

. -
right or capacity to app!y to themselves those other
words of Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S, in which, ad-

dressing himself to the Squirearchy of England
especially, ho said The country gentlemen are

now at the head of the movement, as they were
and as they should be, and the men in the ranks
know these gentlemen not only as their officers,
but also as individuals. Gentlemen, the Volunteer
force is a band of brothers which must succeed
under any difficulty to which it may be ex-
posed. I do hope that the gentlemen, and
every one of those who have assumed the
military dress, and have taken on themselves the
responsibility of commanding men in the field, will
adhere to their first determination, and endeavour
to make themselves capable of performing all the
duties of their position, and so retain the confidence
of all who serve under them. I feel that lam
speaking in the language of the constitution of this
country, and I assure you I speak the language dic-
tated by the feeling of every gentleman engaged in
this movement, when I say that, in all times and in
all circumstances, but more especially in the circum-
stances which portend danger, the proper position
of every gentleman is in the front of the battle.
You understand, therefore, what your mission is as
Volunteers. It is so to perfect yourself in discipline
as to be able to throw an impenetrable veil of fire
before the movements of the regular troops
by whom you are supported, to enable them,
by acting with the decisive bayonet, the
favourite weapon of your country, on the ranks
of the enemy, to obtain the victory." With all
of which the country gentlemen of Ireland—as yet
at least—have nothing whatever to do, To them,
even now at this eleventh hour of the Volunteer
movement, cannot in any way be applied those feli-
citations offered by the noble earl to his sympa-
thetic hearers in Gloucestershire—" Gentlemen, I
congratulate you on your adoption of the military
profession;" Lord ELLENBOROUGEI adding, in lan-
guage of somewhat extravagant hyperbole, "It is
the first of all professions. The first profession, I
have always considered, is that of the soldier, and
the first of all rewards is military honour." What-
ever value, however, may be placed upon military
honour in the abstract, there cannot at least be any
doubt whatever as to the glory inevitably accruing
from the faithful discharge of the first duties of
civism. Those duties, that glory, now appealing
trumpet-tongued to the people of Ireland—impera-
tively call for the speedy enrolment there in real
earnest of corps after corps of Celtic riflemen.

The Revenue Returns which we publish to-day
conform so closely to the particulars which we gave
yesterday, and the explanations offered of the fall-
ing off on the quarter and on the year are so iden-
tical with our own that it is needless to repeat our
former observations. The most gratifying fact in
them is the increase on the Customs ; though that
increase is not large, yet under the actual circum•
stances, and after such considerable reductions of
duties, it is very gratifying to find that• the Re-
venue has not lost what the country has gained.
It is, of course, a last testimony to the merits of
that free trade which our enlightened republican
brethren across the Atlantic are so slow to learn.
Increase from the Post-office is also always a grati-
fying fact. It is a testimony to the increasing
intercourse between the separated members of
feinilies as well as to the commercial activity of the
coiin try.

ri The Earl and Countess Spencer are expected
to arrive at Spencer House, St. James's, to-morrow, from
Althorpe Hall, Northamptonshire.
Viscount and Viscountess Clifden leave Lord
Taunton's seat, Stoke Park, near Windsor, at the end of
the week, for Gowran Castle, the noble Viscount's seat in
the county Kilkenny.
Mr. Edwards, Governor of Labuan, had an inter-
view with the Duke of Newcastle yesterday, at the Colonial-
office.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the
Colonial Office from the governors of the West India
Islands, the North American provinces, British Columbia,
and the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands.
Viscount Falmouth arrived in town yesterday
from Mereworth Castle, Kent, on his way to Newmarket.
Sir Richard Levinge, M,P., and Mr, Levinge
have arrived at the Lord Warden Hotel, Dover, from the
Continent.

Viscount Palmerston, M.P., has consented to dis-
tribute the certificates to the successful candidates in the
late Oxford local examination, at a public meeting which
is to be held at the Carlton Arms, Southampton, on Friday,
Oct. 11. The chair will be taken at three o'clock on that
day by the mayor of Southampton.
CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO IN FRANCE.—The
consumption of snuff and tobacco has increased so consi-
derably of late years in France that the Government has
found it necessary to increase the number of its manufac-
tories. It is proposed to create an additional Imperial
establishment at Dijon. The choice of that town is ex-
plained by its proximity to the newly-annexed province of
Savoy, where tobacco is cultivated on a large scale. There
are at present 10 Imperial tobacco manufactories, directed
by graduates of the Polytechnic School. They employ
not less than 8,000 operatives during the entire year. The
two largest manufactories are those of Paris and Lille; the
others are established at Bordeaux, Havre, Marseilles,
Morlaix, Strasburg, Lyons, Tonneins, and Toulouse.
MR. WOODIN AT BRIGHTGN.—A crowded room,
a room overflowing, money turned from the doors before
the commencement of the entertainment—this was the sort
of reception afforded to the great favourite, Mr. W. S.
.Woodin, at the Pavilion, on his re-appearance after an
absence of two years, and c n the occasion of his opening
his new entertainment, " The Cabinet of Curiosities," the
Success of which in London has been unprecedented in the
annals of public entertainments. Mr. Woodin is a well-
knowir`c4terer for the amusement of the public, and during
the time 'he has been before the public he has met with a
vast and 'almost unparalleled success—a success, however,
duo to his own exertions and the efficiency of his catering.
His " Carpet Bag," " Olio of Oddities," and otter enter-
tainments—great successes during their time—have passed
away, and now we have presented to us an entirely new
entertainment, likely to rival—and deservedly so—either of
its predecessors. To all lovers of a hearty laugh, to all
admirers of really wonderful talent, we say pay Woodin a
visit while he is at the Pavilion. This will be bat for a

brief season; at present he is there every evening,ezcep:

ABOLITION OF ANOTHER ANCIENT INSTITUTION

—On Saturday expired the Annoyance Juries of Westmin-
ster, which were instituted as far back as the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, but which were abolished by an Act of last ses-
sion. The Dean and Court of Burgesses are now to appoint
inspectors to act in the place of householders, who were
wont to parade the streets and inspect the weights and
measures of the shopkeepers. The Act provides that
" every person who shall abuse or insult any such inspector
when in the execution of his office, or shall in any way ob-
struct the execution of the said office, shall be liable to a
penalty not exceeding 405."
THE LADY OF KIYPOORTHULLA.—Among the
Sikh nobles who, at the outset of the mutiny, staked their
heads on the British side, was the Rajah of Kupoorthulla.
He was not a very great man, but he had influence, and no
Englishman could have risked his status, purse, and person
with more hearty and unquestioning loyalty. He helped to
guard the Northern Delhi road, then the key of our posi•
tion, and, when order had been restored, the Governor-
General, casting aside the old policy of meagre rewards,
raised him by a single gift of land to the wealth of a great
English noble. The rajah married an East Indian girl,
became, under her influence, a Christian, and established a
mission on his own estates. Sweeping away at a stroke the
prejudices of a thousand years, he introduced his wifo into
society, and allowed her to appear in public, and the offi-
cials, for once heartily cordial to a native, threw aside pre-
judices as rooted as his own, and recommended that the
rajah should receive, officially, precedence in Oude. The
Governor-General consented, and at the apex of the new
social system of Oude stands a native Christian noble, and
the only woman in India for whoa] the guards turn out in
the British provinces is the Christian " Lady of Kupoor-
th ulla."-TSpeeta tor.

TIIE MURDER AT WESTMINSTER.—Proceedings

of d
the
murdere death
frecorded against
his
wire in
Log-eourt, Westminster, and the grounds assigned by Mr.
Bury Ilutchinson, his solicitor, for respiting the accused
are because the indirect evidence produced on the part of the
Crown rather tended to corroborate the declaration made by
Maloney, that the deceased stabbed herself, than that he, as
put forward by tho prosecution, inflicted the wound, as ap-
peared by the evidence of Dr. Payne, the only medical wit-
ness on the part of the Crown. Secondly, because the direct
evidence depended upon the credit to be given to the witness
Saunders, whose testimony before the coroner, the magis-
trate, and the Central Criuinal Court, is disproved by re -
liable
evidence in many most material points; and thirdly,
because thejury stated at his trial that Maloney had no in-
tention to murder hie wife.
